very triflng indeed and the Board

China and Iowa

The Chinese do everything differ
emily from anybody else. With them
they reverse everything that is common
in other lands. One would think in
case of executing criminal they would
hang him by the heels, But they don't.
They apply the principle of the Iowa
mulct law. The court condemns the
criminal "to be beheaded," but a sub
stitute may be provided by the mur
derer paying $500 to the family of the
substitute. The North China News
speaking of the punishment of the
Chinese murderers of Missionary Brooks
says that the two men condemned to
die were permitted to buy substitutes.
That paper says that $500, paid to the
family of the substitute, the man sen.
fenced to be beheaded was enabled to
die by proxy and that for s4OO the man
who was destined to the moose also
found substitute who took that way
of providing for his family.
The Age wonders if the $500 which
the saloon pays for the privilege of
violating the prohibitory law was not
borrowed from China. The Age always
claimed that the 5000 exacted from the
saloons by the state, in consideration of
which the state would not permit the
saloon keeper to be prosecuted for SELL
ing intoxicating liquors, was relic of
barbarism, but we never tried to trace
its origin.
The Chinese laws provides that
convicted murderer shall be executed,
but upon the payment of 5000 he may
go free. The Iowa law provides that
the person who sells intoxicating Ii.
quor shall be sent to prison, but if he
will pay 5000 per year into the county
treasury he may sell all the liquor he
can.
In Ciinaa man may commit mur-
der by paying six hundred dollars.
In Iowa man may violate the pro-
hibitory liquor law by paying six hun
dred dollars. Clinton Age.

Fraud on the Schools.

The school boards of eastern Iowa
and Minnesota have been pestered with
q gang of agents for school supplies,
who are selling their stuff at exorbitant
prices. The success of their efforts has
compelled an address of warning by
the state superintendent of Minnesota.
The operators have not yet reached this
county, and 1t is we'll that their scheme
be exploded in advance, that there may
be no more recruits to the Order of
Easy Marks.
These smooth agents have been SELL
ing charts to the school boards at from
81 to $50, the identical article being
sold at either price. In 10000 lots these
charts are said to be made at SO, leav-
ing a profit of $58. State Superintend-
ent Lewis of Minnesota, in his letter
of warning, says:
Numerous publishing houses ex-
plot among school district officers

apparatus and worse than useless sets

publishing house of city outside of
this state has sent into the state agents
who have actually represented that they
were selling the books required by this
department to meet the condition of the
law, and that the district would fail to
receive the appropriation. of state aid
unless the books sold by them are pur-
chased by the district.
"Some agents are selling these charts
and school apparatus, which cost the
statesmen from 50 to So per set, at
whatever price they can get for them at
prices ranging, it is said, as high as $50
in some cases.
"It is needless to say that some of
these charts and someof the apparatus
while pretty, have no practical utility
in the school room. In some cases /
am told that agents have shown district
officers letters purporting to have come
from this department recommending
said charts.
"lt seems to me that county superln.
tendents might very profitably send out
a circular letter to their district officers
warning them against impostors such
as those above referred to, viz, can
vassers for books and charts for rural
schools that are not adapted to the use
of such schools
The whole business only emphasizes
the fact that the home dealer, who
guarantees all he sells, is the man to
order these supplies from. Cedar Rap

He hovers around the house in which

four weeks are long enough to settle
the question one way or another. If the

RECIPE FOR RAINMAKING.
subsulphuric Acid. Water and Gin
Create Artiaclal storms.

Subsulphuric Acid, Wnter and Zinc
Create Artificial Storms.
Some years ago Kansas was overrun
with so called "rainmakers" who did a
thriving business in vicinities afflicted
with drought. The Rock Island rail-
road had rainmaker who Travelled
about the country in special car and
made rain from Texas to Iowa. At the
time the process employed was guard
ed as secret, and no doubt the mys-
terry surrounding the operation had
much to do with the interest aroused
nmong the people. But now comes
George Matthews in the Wichita Eagle
with a full exposition of the means
employed by the Rock Island wizard
and others, and the following Is the
recipe given by him:
"Ten fluid ounces OF subsulphuric
acid.
FIFTY fluid ounces Of water.
Il Five ounces of zinc.
"Renew every hour and stir every 80
minutes day and night until rain
comes. The moment rain begins to
west Of Kansas use third less; at
sea level use double the quantity. In
Kansas work only on southerly winds,
which are the moisture bearing winds.
Begin nm experiment only in clear
sky. One station of the experiment, IL
successful. will produce rain 30 to so
miles in diameter. A better and more
certain result can be secured by having
three OF more stations 40 or so miles
apart"
According to Mr.. Matthews, this mix
ture left in an open mouthed jar gen.
crates hydrogen gas, which rapidly
ascends. The theory is that this gas
ascending creates shaft through the
hot air down which the cold air rushes,
creating a storm center and gathering
moisture for precipitation. Matthews
claims that Of the 200 experiments
made by him at least $50 were success
ful.-Kansas City Journal.

Regular hours for Milking.

The cows stomach resembles clock
in one particular-its machinery is ar
ranged TO mark time: it is wound up to
strike the feeding hour, and it strikes
that hour almost to the minute, says
the Jersey Bulletin. If the feeding
time is changed for even an hour the
yield of milk will decline, and the flow
of milk once lowered is very difficult of
restoration. Regularity in feeding and
in milking is of the highest importance
with good cows; the better the COWS
the more important. 1t makes the diff
ference between success and failure,
gain or loss. Select whatever hours
are most convenient, but when ooce BE-
lected adhere to them rigidly.
