WOODS HOLDS CLAIM.
No Crouod ioe Q Coosest-Neithes Letter Nor
Spirit d Lsw Violssed.

In the ccntest case Of J. l.. Coivert against
James r. Woods. involving entry No. ., Act.
ing Secretary Ryan has rendered decision
refusing to order q hearing on the charges
preferred. The chsrRes are that Woods entry
was made in violation Of the homestead law
by reason Of its location On the south line Of
the town OF Lawton, and that the entry EN-.
braces q tract q mile long and only quarter
Of q mile wide. and was 40 taken for speculat.
i've purposes and not for agricultural purposes.
and tha, the entry was made at . time when
there were q large number Of town.site set.
tiers on the land and by them occupied for
trade and business
The decision holds that the selection aud
entry Of land adjacent to the town Of Lawton
was not in violation Of the letter or spirit Of
the law. and that the fact that there may have
been alleged town site settlers on the land at
the time he made his entry does not effect
Woods right Of entry. The land was not
subject to appropriation for town.site pur.
poses. nor was any person authorized to enter
upon It or occupy 1t for purposes Of trade or
business. and no such occupancy could operate
to defeat hts right to entry.
It Is further held IN the decision that his en-.
try is not had on account Of the form Of the
tract embraced therein; that the special pro.
visions Of the act Of May q, 1896. do not con.
troll In this matter, but the general provisions
Of the homestead law do, aud that. under the
act Of June 6, 1900, making provisions for the
disposition Of these lands, it provides that
they shall be disposed of under the general
provisions Of the homestead aud town site laws
of the United States.

Genius and Complexion.

From CaSsell's Magazine
Now that the Dictionary Of National BIZ

the greatest proportion being men. One In
teresting fact brought out Is that 40 per
cent were Of dark complexion, as against
% per cent OF blondes and % per cent of
intermediate or brown-haired persons An
other Is that our popular notion of great
men deriving their ability from their moth
ers Is incorrect. II is oftener their fathers
who are clever but probably their mothers
are women of character, and assist them In
that respect. Genius Is not so likely to
spring from young as from mature
father, upward Of thirty-four years old. 1t
is more likely to occur among the first and
the last than the middle children of the
family. and in large families than In small

Precocity may be shown by children in

exhibit 1t In this way, but most of them
are not good scholars or playmates in

sharks I'm the Mfssfssippi.


= Though New Orleans is some hundred
and twenty-five miles from the mouth Of
the Mississippi river. 1t frequently happens
that the piscine inhabitants OF the Gulf Of
Mexico leave their briny waters and come
meandering up the river to this city. There
is evidently much novelty In the change.
and many interesting things In the river
which are not found in the gulf but the
piscine constitution cannot well adapt tt
self to a fresh-water existence. and the fish
find themselves In sorry plight IL they
prolong their sojourn Yet after they get
here. they stay, preferriug. apparently. TO
the end than return to the monotony Of a
long life In their native waters. This is at
tested by the fact that sharks are sosne-
times seen floating down the river dead,
and are even caught on cast lines which ex-
tend far into The river. They sometimes
measure four and five feet In length, and
numbers are caught at certain seasons the
size Of an ordinary catfish

The Turin Exhibition.
From the New York Tribune.


There is to be held at Turin next summer
an international exhibition Of decorative
art, which promises to be of high impor-
tance to the development OF that art all
over Europe. OF pictures and statues there
are always exhibitions in plenty every
where. But too little has hitherto been
done for the encouragement of those who
do not crave opportunities to execute inde-
pendent works on canvas or in marble, be-
ing content to occupy themselves with the
thousand and one different things. more or
less conspicuous, which go to make beau
tiful home. These artists already form q
large company by themselves, and they
have done a great deal to make more than
one latter-day exhibition, chiefly devoted to
painting and sculpture, more generally in
teresting. They have not SO often, how
ever. had exhibitions Of their own, and
they need them: not only to make their
work better known to the world, but In
order that they may enjoy that Interchange
OF ideas which an exhibition, more than
anything else. is calculated to facilitate.
There Is much that needs to be improved in
the decorative art of our time.

NIGHTMARE AND IT'S CURE.

Readily Be Prevented.

Readily Be Prevented.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
Those who suffer from northumberland the
number is legion-may be interested in
knowing that the disorder is a nervous one,
traceable In many instances to preventable
causes. Sometimes these are due to pro-
Ionged wakefulness, a radical change in diet
or faulty position of the body, such as lying
upon the back or face. Sometimes it is
due to some mechanical interference, such
as aneurism or even swollen tonsils
West has reported case in which, in spite
Of all hygenic treatment, nightmare con-
tinued every night for long period, due,
1t was discovered after careful conSidera-
ton, to prolonged uvula. which. during
sleep in the prone position, hindered free
respiration. Cutting off the point of this
mischievous uvula caused the permanent
discontinuance Of the visits Of the night
mare.
In nervous persons, emotional in charac-
ter, nightmare may be caused by gruesome
tales of woeful spectacles. grief, discourage
ment, hatred, anger, etc. In fact, the most
intense nightmare is due to exhalations of
passion, due to the loss of dearly loved rela-
tives or friends, sudden and extreme re-
verse Of fortune. disappointed ambition, the
fear of disease, or even shock to ones self
love and esteem, which, as has been aptly
said slays more victims than love.
The treatment of nightmare consists In
awakening the subject, and, If there is per-
turbation of mind giving some mildly sed-
ative potion, such as warm water sweet
ened with sirup of lettuce. Following this
care should be taken to remove the sup
posed cause, to prevent recurrence of the
nightmare In the case of children intense
moral Impressions, weird stories and grue-
some tales should be avoided especially
before bedtime
The child should be put to bed early to
avoid the exciting environment of the social
circle, of animated conversation and con-
vivial jollity. The evening meal should be
a light one, both as to quantity and quality
of food and drink, avoiding highly-spiced
relishes and stimulating drinks. The cham
the bed not too soft and without too much
bed clothing. Perfect muscular relaxation
avoidance of false positions and perfect
freedom; all compression interfering with
respiration or circulation must be avoided.
The feet ought to be warm and lower than
the head. The body SHOULD be extended and
not cuddled up into bali. When the bed Is
in an alcove or surrounded by heavy cur
tains nightmare is sure to lurk within, for
they prevent the free circulation of air, and
the brain Is stupefied, as it were, by laugh
ing gas produced by the sleeper, the air
vitiated by him being breathed over and
over again.
The bed ought to be slightly inclined from
head to foot, but the proper elevation Of the
hand varies according to temperament.
Anaemic people need to have the head
quite low, but full -blooded people rest
easier If the head is higher.

Left-Handed People.
From the Chicago Chronicle,

It is not wise to poke fun at left handed
boy or girl. They may develop qualities
that are unattainable by those who use
their right hands preferably Children who
have fallen into this habit OF using their
left hands should not be taught to do yio-
lence to a strongly implanted instinct and
use the right hand whether they will or
no. Such a training not only inflicts upon
the child a useless amount of hardship and
Inconvenience, but may do him serious in
jury even to depriving him of the power
of speech. According to the latest scientific
discoveries all manner of havoc NAV be
wrought with the brain by the adoption of
this mistaken method OF teaching left
handed children to use the right hand
