effect. In some counties the opposi-

both ways and showed that the pro-

THE CASE OF KANSAS.

The return of Kansas to the repub-
lican party has an interest for the en-
tire United States, says the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat. Kansas was one Of
the first states to be swept off its
moral base by the populist food. The
Farmers Alliance, which was the nu-
cleus around which the populist party
was built, had Kansas for its radiat-
ing center. William A. PETER, who
succeed John J. ingalls, in the sen
ate In 1891, was, with James H. Kyle,
of South Dakota, the first Of the pop
uliss to reach that body, although at
the time of their election they we're
simply Farmers Alliance men. Both
are in the republican party now.
Kansas went squarely over to the
populists in 1892, and gave its ten
electoral votes to Gen. James B.
Weaver, the populist candidate in that
year, whom William j. Bryan, the re-
cent democratic nominee for presi-
dent, supported on the stump and at
the polls. The state made a tempo
rary return to political sanity in 1894,
when it elected a republican governor,
and was carried by the republicans in
1885 also for chief justice. 1t went
back to its follies in 1896, however,
when Ut gave Bryan a 1900 plurality.
On Indication of reawakening reason
was shown in 1893, when the republic
cans again got the state on governor.
It's big plurality for President Nc
Kinley in the election just held marks
the end of Kansas demo-pop debauch.
Kansas will hereafter stick to the
party Of public spirit and balance.
That state has seen right at home some
of the evil effects of it's political obi
quities. FITS gain in population in the
decade ending with 1900 was only
$4,000, which was insignificant com
pared with its expansion in the repub-
lican days. Popocracy assaulted the
states credit, diminished it's business
sent thousands Of its residents out to
other states, and prevented the immi.
grafton of other thousands who would
have gone there if that popo-dem
quarantine had been raised. In the
election just held Kansas has re.
deemed itself. Its days of adversely
are, consequently, ended. Millions o.
dollars of capital and thousands O
settlers that have been repealed by th,
Bryanite blight ON the state will nov
flow in, and another era of expansion
and prosperity like that of the ok
and great republican days will come
Kansas has anchored herself to tn
party OF sanity and prosperity, and tn,
prizes OF social fortune are again with
in her reach.

Is a fact we are to think OF when pre-

we find that rape largely excels all
other plants mentioned above in the
quantity OF sulphur in it and equally
excels in Its quantity Of potash (and
the yolk Of wool, which, we know, is
indispensable to the good condition and

very sur that rape must be the very
best Of all feeds for sheep during the

Rape is a leafy, thin, taprooted plant,

Volcano on Evolution.

ED. BULLETIN On my arrival
in Soda last Summer I noticed q band
OF fine chickens ia front Of the stable.
Being lover OF chickens, especially
when cooked, watched them closely.
Their appearance was peculiar and
upon examination | found that none
OF them had more than one leg. The
foot had eight toes and was webbed
like an Oregonian's or ducks. The
web was not solid, as in the above
mentioned species, but had o series
of fine threads running from the
center to the toes, like spiders web
with spaces between for ventilation.
Their tails did hot stick up, they had
no sickle feathers curving gracefully,
but were as fiat and pointed rs Pc
kin ducks. This being the breeding
season, they are laying and the eggs
are square, or nearly so. began an
investigation ten days ago, aud think
| have discovered the only case OF
evolution that has been carried so far
under mans observation. The facts
are these: About 10 years ago four
hens and a rooster were brought
here ia the night and kept confined
until their former owner became
reconciled to his loss. During that
time and afterwards they were fed
out OF a frying pan or any old tin
that would hold their grub. They
didn't have to scratch for their lives,
and since all fowls stand on one leg
(the left one) while digesting their
food, they gradually lost the use Of
their right leg, and finally lost it al
together. 1t being necessary some
times to have other means of sup
port, their tails grew downward and
pointed. They eggs are made square
to fit the carriers in the egg cases
The foot is enlarged to give them
support and respectable appear

simple, it was not arrived at without
great research aud mental strain.
love philosophy as well as chickens
and devote a great deal of time to
both. Evolution is rot confined to
chickens alone, as this copy of let
ter will show:

luck since | leave-I hope so. Will l

Paper In China aud Japan.

Rice straw is an important factor in
the manufacture of Japanese machine
made paper. Only when there is poor
rice crop is wood fiber imported to any
appreciable extent.
Among the most curious things to be
seen in Japan are jackets and trousers OF
strong, handmade paper with which the
japanese soldiers were supplied during
the war between Japan and China. The
seams and buttonholes were sewed with
cotton thread
Chinese handmade papers are made
mostly of rice straw and are colored or
stained on one side by hand-for in
stance, crimson for visiting cards, which
are thin. large, octave sheets; pale red
for bills. yellow sprinkled with gold or
green for wrapping goods, orange for
wedding tinery, etc. Large quantities
are consumed in the principal place of its
manufacture for decorating various
places of worship, which are visited by
Chinese from all over the country. and
considerable quantities are also sent to
the adjoining provinces.-Journal Of Art.
