A Notable New Year Issue

The January Dclineator has a
rich and inviting table of contents
and attractive features are added
to all the existing departments.
Ira d. Sankey, the famous evan.
gelist, wildly describes his jour-
ney through Egypt aud Palestine,
and the personality of the author
gives to these pages an interest
that is truely remarkable. They
are illustrated by photographs
made by I. Allen Sankey, who &C.
companied his father. Recent
mOurnful events aud the intense
public sympathy with Mrs. Nc
Kinley make very timely an article
on Notable pensioners of the Ma.
ton, in which the annuities paid
to certain INDUSTRIOUS ladies' are
made public for perhaps the first
time. DR.. s. r. Elliott begins his
series of recollections of q group
of women noteworthy for person
al character and attainmcnts, and
Clara E. Laughlin tells with great
charm the story of Poe's love and
marriage. Some excellent fiction
is offered in this number; the
children are especially considered
and the various miscellaneou g
articles-the fancy-work, cookery
the holiday display, house furnish
ing, etc.-have distinctly seas
enable flavor.

Uncle Sans Prisoner.

In little house in South Wash
ington is located a Federal Insti.
tuition without which the Smith
sonian Institution and National
Museum could not exist, says the
Washington Post. 1t is the de.
partment of the chief pois oner,
Mr.. Joseph Farmer. The office of
chief poisoner was not unusual in
countries ruled by despots,. but it
may be surprise to many to
learn that such an Office in main
tanned by our own republican
form of administration.
However, Mr.. Farmer, unlike
his contemporaries in Turkey,
Spain, Arabia, etc., is not engag.
ed in putting obnoxious and ex-
uberant statesmen out of the way,
but in placing the objects on ex-
hibition in the institution and
museum beyond the reach of rust,
thieves, and cockroaches.
Everything that is received by
these institutions, whether it is a
rare book, a Filipino bolo, or a
stuffed and mounted animal, is
sent to Mr.. Farmer to be poison
ed. He is an expert in the prep;
aration and use of preservative
compounds. For stuffed animals
and birds he finds that arsenical
compounds bring the best re-
suits. Every object of metal re-.
ceives a coating of something
that prevents rust, while fabrics
basketry, silks, furs, ETC., are
poisoned in much the same man.

shelves and cases of the museum,
in which the objects are placed,
have passed through Mr.. Farmers
hands and have been treated 10 a

walking over red hot iron the
minute he strikes their surface
By these means the museum is

Sayannah's Problem.

The future of Hardin county
aud Savannah Is a debatable ques-
ton. The great exodus the past
few months has put the land own.
ers and merchants of the county
to thinking, and right seriously
too.
The owners of large farms must
have tenants or let their land re.
main uncultivated. The merchant
who has full store must have
customers or keep his goods on
his shelves. 1t is . serious mat.
ter from any point Of view.
The writer has seen at least
three other seasons when the
population of the county was
greatly decimated by people seek.
ing homes in the west. But each
time their places were taken by a
restless people who came from
other sections and located among
us. 1t seems like game of fruit
basket; when one gets up an.
other takes his seat. only the slow
est one getting left. But with the
slow man it is only day Of wait.
ing for he will find o seat at the
next great move.
1t is this restless spirit in man
that makes us want to always be
moving, and only by this discon-
tentedness was the world populat.
ed and it's resources deveploed.
We have no fears that the popu-
lation Of our country will be ma
terially lessoned, but on the con.
trary we expect 10 see each de-
cade with an increasing number
of people, but not q population
that will stick, as that is not com.
mon in any land.
Only few of the people who
left this country for the west will
find easy Sailing. Most Of them
will find it just as difficult there as
it ever was here to keep the wolf
from the door.
a question here presents it's
self. Can we do anything out U1
the ordinary to induce a new pop
ulation to take the place of th'
ones just Comet To farmers We
might say there is certainly I
splendid opening to rent the very
best of land and the posibilitie
for a fine crop next year are yer!
flattering. We have always hear'
that good crops are sure to fol
low cold winters. We have al
ready had enough cold weather t.
insure the fulAllment Of that oil
saying.
