TO me. l determined to do something for
! him
When the old bill providing for the
opening of Oklahoma was passed in the
spring Of 1889, 1 began thinking a good
deal to see whether l could provide for a
few friends in the new country. 1 figured
that there would be good postoffices at
Guthrie and Kingfsher. 1 went down to
see First Assistant Postmaster Clarkson,
ne whom they called the 'Headsman.' and
the moment 1 met him he said:
Peters, L am not very much of a
guesser, but 1 rather suspect that you are
after something
Yes 1 said, I am. I want to pre-
empt two places in Oklahoma for a few
friends
Hadn't you better go to the general
land Officer said CIarkson
Il said. the general land office has moth
ing to do with postoffices l want the
offices at Guthrie and Kingfsher.
=" Have no idea where they are said
Clarkson.

covery.' I said
" Certain it is said Clarkgon, 'trl-. the
discoverer has a prior claim on his dis
covery'
They are mine, them I said
They are yours, was his reply.

took kindly too. He called me aside and
said: That young fellow has something

That's how Denny Flynn got into the
erritory, for whiche he has done so
much and which he has risen to such de-

How Slate Pencils Are Made.

Slate pencils were formerly all cut
from solid slate just as 1t is dug from
the earth, but pencils so made were OBJ
jected to on account Of the grit which
they contain, and which would scratch
the slate. To overcome this difficulty,
Col. D. NJ. Stewart, Of Chattanooga,
Tenn, devised and patented an in
genlous process by which the slate is
ground to n very fine powder, all grit
and foreign substances removed, and
the powder bolted through silk cloth
in much the same manner as flour Is
bofted. The powder is then made into
dough, and this dough Is subjected to
q very heavy hydraulic pressure, which
presses the pencil out the required
shape and diameter, but In lengths Of
about three feet. While yet soft the
pencils are cut into the desired lengths
and set out to dry In the open air. Af-
ter they are thoroughly dry the pencils
are placed in steam baking kllns, where
they receive the proper temper. Pen
ellis made In this manner are not only
free from all grit, and Of uniform hard
ness, but are stronger than those cut
out Of the solid slate. For these rea-
sons they have entirely superseded the
old kind.-The Manufacturer.

nIyriatls OF Suns.

There is quite evident conspiracy
on the part of the telescope md cam
era to belittle this infnitesimal speck
of cosmic dust on which we live, and
they are succeeding. 1t was bad
enough to knock the earth out of his
position as the centre of the universe,
but now he is being relegated to q
position that, astronomically, seems
worthy of very little attention. Pro.
fessor Wadsworth of the Allegheny
observatory is now showing, on o
curved plate, photograph Of the con-
stellation Orion and adjacent region,
covering 1000 square degrees, or lit
tie patch measuring less than 33 de-
grees on q side, or about one-eleyenth
of the great circle-and what do you
thinkP 1t shows 30, 900 blazing suns.
The professor says he hus only been
able to catch the light from the larger
of the suns in that patch, and that
these planets are yet beyond the Joint
power of the two cyclops, the tele.
scope and camera.

A Setting OF Eggs.

Most people, when ordering q setting
Of eggs, ask and expect the seller to
send fifteen. and when they arrive the
entire lot is placed under one hen, re-
gardless Of her size.
Now, this Is q great mistake, and the
seller would have less complaint II he
would refuse to send more than thir-
teen, and twelve would be better.
A hen that viii cover more than this
number is too large to set, and will
break some Of the eggs during the first
few days, while the smaller hens can
not cover all Of that number, and some
Of the eggs are left unprotected and
get chilled.
Hens that will weigh from four to five
pounds make the best settlers, and one
Of that size will cover not more than
eleven eggs; and venture to say that
they will hatch out more strong,
healthy chicks than will hen that is
given from thirteen to fifteen eggs.

Fighting Hawks and Crows.

In my town, which produces an
nually from $4,000 to 40, 900 chicks, a
bounty of 25 cents per head is paid
for hen and chicken hawks, writes
P. H. Wilbour of Rhode Island, in
New England Homestead. The same
sum is paid for crows per head, they
being nearly MS inimical if not equally
SO to the ecareer OF the chicken. This
bounty is usually voted at the town
meeting. At times it had been left
for the town council to affi3 the sum,
mover to my knowledge being more
than 25 cents per head, and some
years lesser sum.
Various devices to prevent the near
approach of the above mentioned
birds are noticed about here, among
which may be mentioned the small
windmill so arranged that at each
revolution rapid and noisy clapping
is produced. Another arrangement
quite generally in vogue is to erect
long poles about the chicken yard, q
stout cord extending from pole to pole
at top, to which cord is appended
mnlti-colored strips of cloth. This
method, while it prominently adver-
tises the location of the tender NOR
sci, is supposed to intimidate its wary
foe.

A Clean Stable.

The greatest obstacle that can be
presented to the spread of any kind
of disease is clean stable. This i'm
plies not only cleanliness behind the
stock but in front of them as we'll,
and even in the managers. Not long
ago contagious disease broke out in
one of the large dairy establishments
not far from Chicago. Various causes
for the outbreak were assigned by the
veterinarians, but it was privately
known that the disease broke out
because filth had paved the way for
its advance. The drinking troughs
were filthy and had been 80 for
months. The managers were unclean
and all the conditions were of the
best to help spread the disease.
The writer has seen hangers of
both horses and cattle in, which there
were the remnants of many feed.
The animals, of course, refused to eat
it and SO ''nosed" it into the corner
of the manger. The new feed was
put in on top of the old and when the
animal got the part of the feed on top
eaten the remnants were pushed into
the already mouldy bunch at the end.
Managers of both horses and cattle are
found soured by the lamentations of
feed they have contained.
tuberculosis is carried quite fre-
quently from one animal to another
by the rubbish that is pushed back
and forth from one to the other. This
is especially danger where feeding
floors are used for stock instead of
managers. But in addition to TUDOR
culosis we have a great troop Of dis
orders that are we'll known to most
stockmen, such as lump-iaw and abor-

A Royal Gift,

1t was genuinely royal act, that of
King Leopold of Belgium, who on his
slxty-ffth birthday presented to the na-
ton the three palaces and their grounds
which were his private property. The
principal Of these Is the chateau of
Laeken, situated in suburb of Brus-
sells. 1t is splendid and convenient
royal residence, in an extensive park
that has been improved by large ex-
penditures, and with the best taste and
skill that royal resources could COM
mand during two generations. Another
Is the royal seaside residence at Os-
tend, understood to have been gift
from Queen Victoria. The third is
Clergnon, luxurious hunting lodge in
the heart Of the Ardennes. In an
nouncing his gift, the king explains
that these estates contribute to the
charm and beauty of the localities In
which they are situated, and that he is
anxious lest their purpose should be de-
stroyed, to the detriment Of the beauty
and salubrity of various populous To-
calities. Boston Herald.

FACTS ABOUT PERSPIRATlON.
A Function Almost Peculiar TO Men, Monkeys
and Horses.

Precipitation is almost peculiar to
men, monkeys and horses. Horses
sweat all over the body, and SO do
human beings, but monkeys, it is said,
sweat only on the hands, feet and face.
The use of perspiration Is mainly to
cool the body by It's evaporation. al
though it is general believed that
waste materials are also e1creted
through the sweat glands when the ac-
tion Of the kidneys Is interfered with.
In animals that perspIre but little, the
cooling of the body is effected by
evaporation from the lungs, as we see
in the case Of painting dog.
The amount Of perspiratlon varies
greatly, according to the temperature
of the surrounding air, the condition Of
health, the degree Of exercise taken,
the amount Of fluids imbibed, etc. The
average amount of perspiration Is
thought to be about two pints n day,
but this Is Of course much increased
In hot weather.
In damp weather evaporation from
the skin is lessened, and 20 one seems
to perspire more profusely than in dry
weather; but this Is only apparent, for
really Transportation Is lessened when
the atmosphere is charged with moist
ure.
Hyperhidrosis Is the medical term
used to denote an abnormal increase In
perspiration. This increase may be
general from the entire body, or con-
fined to some particular part, as the
face, the hands or the feet. Profuse
sweating is very common in cases Of
debility and in excessively stout er-
sons. 1t occurs also in connection with
rheumatism and certain nervous dis
orders. Sudden emotion may cause In
creased perspiration.
The opposite condition, great dim
mutton or absence Of sweating (anhi-
drosis), Is mush rarer, and occurs usu-
ally In connection with some disease
of the skin. Sometimes the character
of the secretion Is changed, and cases
of black, blue, gray, yellow or red
sweating have been described.
The treatment Of profuse perspira-
tion depends upon the cause. Tonics,
cold or cool bathing, especially salt
bathing, temperate exercise, and rub
bing of the skin are useful In cases
dependent upon general debility or
obesity. Spraying or sponglng the body
with brandy and water, vinegar and
water, or a solution Of tannin or Of
boric acid Is useful.
Certain drugs which have tendency
to diminish perspiration are sometimes
employed to reduce the night sweats
of consumption, when these are so ex-
cessive as to weaken the already de-
bilitated patient and to prevent much
needed sIeep.-Youth's Companion.

Poultry as a Farm Crop.

If any farmer can make his farm
pay profit of $50 per acre he will do
more than can be claimed by the ma
iority of his neighbors, and yet this
would not be too large n figure to
credit to the hens that could be placed
on an acre, and the ground could, at
the same time, be made to produce on
excellent crop Of fruit, for both the
poultry and the fruit would be bene-
fted by the combination.
An acre in grass ought to give
ample forage Tor at least 100 hens in
summer, and they would not require
M awful lot OF extra food from the
barn, so the eggs would be practically
clear profit, aud if each of these hens
couldn't turn ont clear profit of 80
cents at the end of the summers pas
turage we are awfully mistaken. The

A Mammoth Tren.

In Nassau, the capital city of the
Bahama Islands they say ''the tree
in the public square" not the trees.
Now, the public square of Nassau is
quite as large as that of most cities of
the size, but there is only one tree in
it, and that tree literally fills the
square and spreads its shade over all
the public buildings in the neighbor-
hood. For it is the largest tree in the
world at it's base, although it is hardly
taller than three story house. It is
variously known as ceiba, ora silk
cotton tree, but the people of the low
islands of the West Indies call it a
hurricane tree. For no matter how
hard the wind blows it cannot disturb
the mighty buttressed trunk Of the
reiba
