s,ou. women Hou..kespsr..

The Sioux woman does more work
than the man does. They live in log
cabins with only the ground tor the
floor, and they have but one room. In
that room they have their beds in one
corner, their trunks around the sides,
and they often have beautiful bead
work hanging on the walls. They have
a large stove as near the center of the
room as they can. On that stove you
will always find coffee pot and a
teakettle, and they are always kept
full. II the women can have coffee to
drink they are happy. They think it is
4 great medicine. They call 1t the
black medicine. The women when at
home are almost always doing some
kind of beadwork, and they are always
getting up some kind Of feast. That
is, they have them very often, and es-
pecially If one of their sons or daugh-
tiers gets married, they will spend their
last cent to make great feast, when
ever 1t may be. Then, when he has
come back and told them that he has
told everyone, the women give him a
horse. When they have the feast the
women all dress up in their brightest
colors. paint their faces and front and
long on the sides, and they almost al
ways wear long beaded belt and a
shawl. In fact, they wear a shawl all
the time. When it Is not around the
head and shoulders 1t is tied around
the waist. They never wear a hat Of
any kind. even on the hottest days
they are bareheaded.

BOMBARDING A CLOUD.

Loaded with Blank Cartridges.
Needless to say that the funnel
shaped pieces of ordnance are loaded
with blank cartridges, but the atmos-
pheric displacement caused by the ex-
plosion is so violent, and the effects
of the column of hot air so telling on
the clouds where the mysterious pro-
cess of the formation Of hail is going
on that those subtle physical condi-
lions indispensable to the genesis of
hail are destroyed, with the result that
flakes Of snow or beneficial showers

Danger In Use of the Cannon.
Before a cannon is placed on the
market 1t is carefully tested. Hitherto,
the results have been so encouraging
that 1t Is proposed to render the de-.
tense of all vineyards by means Of
cannon obligatory, and a bill to this
effect is now before the Italian par
lament The government facilitates
the efforts of vine growers by supply
ing them with powder at cost price.
There are now no fewer than 1000 OF
these cannon in use throughout Italy.
1t must not be thought that fighting
the clouds is entirely free from danger,
as the casualty list for last year
amounted to ten killed and 800 wound
ed, the accidents being chiefly caused
by inexperience or by the bursting OF
the cannon. Should the bill now I'M
der consideration be definitely APP
proved 1t will also provide for the OBJ
ligatory insurance Of the peasants.

Some idea Of the value of the coal
deposits in Indian Territory can be
gained when it is known the average
thickness of the vein Is four feet,
which viii produce 1000 tons an acre.
These lands are leased in lots Of $50
acres each. which means that $500, 900
to 100000 tons can be produced by
those leasing the land. On this output
the lessees pay royalty Of eight cents
a ton. The output during the last
year was 1900. 127. as against 1.400. 442
tons the previous year. The interests
of the Chickasaw and Choctaw Indians

The location of the well on the farm
is one of the greatest Importance. In
many instances the farmer starts his
well near the buildings and yards, an
selects the lowest point as location.
with the idea that he will not have
to dig as deep as he would upon high
err land. This is often a mistake, as
we know Of several places In village
where the wells near the top OF the
hill are not as deep and are not as
much affected by drouth as those on
the lower land at the foot of the hill,
though there may be fifty or hun
bred feet difference in this elevation
But the chief objection to the well on
the low ground is that 1t receives the
surface drainage from the higher land
and thus the water soon becomes so
contaminated as to be unfit for use.
either by the family or the animals,
for to be healthy they must have pure
water. In these days OF driven wells
a pipe can often be sunk on the high
est gravel knoll or sand hill on the
farm more cheaply than in the low
land, and when water Is reached 1t Is
pure and will continue SO, because
the surface water runs away from 1t
and not toward 1t. II windmill Is
erected the wind power is better, and
by tank and pipes water can be
brought to house, barn and yards, or
carried to irrigate the garden and
strawberry bed in a way to make 1t
doubly pay for itself. first in savings
of daily hard labor at the pump and
next in increased crops by having a
water supply when needed. We heard
a market gardener near Boston say,
few years ago, that he put down
driven wells, bought steam engine
and pump, built tank and laid pipes,
and the increased value of his crops
paid the whole expense the first year,
including cost of running the engine.
Many a man who thought he could
not afford to put in new well has
paid out more cash for doctors and
undertaker's bills than the well would
have cost.-American Cultivator.

Of France also these cannon are com

eighty grams of blasting powder

As soon as the lanyard Is pulled

gun, followed Immediately by a wreath
of smoke. A shrill whistling sound
Immediately follows the firing of the
cannon and is heard for fourteen sec

much louder than near the gun. It

half miles in fourteen seconds. Tho

aloud. "Indian--same as those. Saved

where she sat till her face was buried
in her curving arm. "Oh, love!" she

The thoughts OF Henley finally crys-

he would leave her, knew he would
certainly desert all things Western

Early the following morning he went
to his mine to gather the gold where II
lay beneath the pocket. There, alone,
he labored hour after hour. The mine
was simply hole in the ground, so
feet in depth, with branching tunnels
down below; and over the mouth a
windlass stood. with a rope about 1t,
supporting a bucket that rested on the
bottom. Built against one of tas per-
pendicular walls was a wooden ladder,
for ingress to and egress from the
lower levels.
In the afternoon, from the rocks on
the hill, crouching form came
stealthily down through the scrubby
brush. 1t was Mingo. the Washoe In
dian. Noiselessly he crept to the shed
after scanning the prospect far and
near for any living thing-there to lie
full length on plank at the edge of
the shaft. His practiced ear was quick
to catch the dull sound of blows that
issued from the mine Long he lay

square inches. Is imperative, has lately
been founded. It's antithesis exists in

eligible, is in striking contrast with

which entrance is alone permitted to
such as are over 10 centimeters Is feet
2 lnches> in height and under fifty
kilos (l1s pounds) in weight. For
several years the president of this club
was a Mr.. Be-, who, though nearly 8
feet, weighed less than SO pounds. Two
years ago, however. he took unto HIM
self wife. under whose solicitous care
he so rapidly gained flesh that in less
than twelve months he was compelled
10 resign his membership. Berlin
boasts of Big Mouth club. In the
club room is kept wooden ball as
large as a medlrm-slzed orange which
every candidate for admission is re-
ouired to insert in his mouth before
his name can go for ballot. In the
same city, too, there is a One-Handed
club, composed only of such as have
suffered the loss of hand.

Dangers of Libertinism.

So there has seen a great deal OF
fascination thrown around libertinism.
Society is very severe upon the impur-
Ivy that turks around the alleys and
low haunts of the town. The law pur-
sues 1t, smites it, incarcerates 1t, tries
to destroy it. You know as well as
that society becomes lenient in proper
ton as impurity becomes affiuent or is
In elevated circles. and finally society
is silent or disposed to palliate. Where
is the judge, the jury. the police officer
that dare arraign the wealthy liber-
tine? He walks the streets, he rides
the parks. he flaunts his iniquity in
the eyes OF the pure. The bag of un-
cleanness looks out of the tapestried
window. Where is the law that dares
take the brazen wretches and put their
faces in an iron frame of a state pris-
on window?
Sometimes 1t seems to me as II So

ured its yileness on pillars and temple

temoon:
II am not only not a candidate

|terest centers in principles, and men
are important only q they aid in
carrying out these principles.
1.-The democratic PARTY stands for

less | mistake the sentiments of the
masses, the voters will insist upon
adhering to these principles in spite
of threats Of re-organizers. Those
who argue from the standpoint Of
expediency will not have influence

deserve TO win and yet lose; but it
still remains that TO deserve to win
is the surest road to success"
In an interview Mr.. Bryan said
that Senator Hanna was the logical
candidate Of the republican party
for president in 1904, because he
represented the dominant force in
that party.
