He Gave the Right Idea.

4 clergyman. writing TO THE
Homiletic Review relates that at
on time he was pastor in a village
whore there was a German undertake
er who was always anxious to please.
Because OF his zeal in this direction
and his habit of SO often getting
things backward he was the butt Of
good many Jokes and furnished
Others many a hearty laugh. One
dsy customer Of his asked him to
telephone the florist in d nearby city
TO send floral design representing
Gates Ajar." He hurried TO the
phone, and, calling up the florist,
said he wished floral design. The
florist asked what kind. He was
puzzled, but not defeated. and after
some delay said: o. yes, nov / got
him. Heaven wide open. That's
what they want"

BUYING WHEAT FOR HOGS.
Kansas Farmers Hard Pressed BY the
Failure of the Corn Crop.

Kansas City. July 11-kansas Is
buying wheat to-day III every section
TO feed to its hogs horses and cattle.
Once before the feeders in the state
had to resort to the fearful extrava-
gance OF feeding small grain That
was in 1895. when the hot winds
burned up everything late in the sea-
son. AdviceS from the country buy
er- today show that in Central
Kansas they are paying f. cents for
wheat and 10 cents for corn. When
farmers can make an exchange on
even terms they are jumping at the
hchance. but throughout the state
corn is held at a higher price. and
feeders are contracting for it at the
present market price.
A member of the exchange stated
to-day that his country agents were
notifying him that stockmen were
running the wheat movement 10y their
contracts No farmer will haul his
wheat to market to sell at - cents
and buy corn for his stock at IS
cents He would lose three cents in
money by the transaction, 10pounds
in weight and have the labor of haul
ing to town and back for nothing
Accordingly, the farmer is preparing
to feed his wheat TO his stock.

WEATHER FAKES.

A friend writes us criticising us for
treating the long range weather proph-
cts with so much irreverence and lack
OF respect and appeals to us to know
whether they are not sometimes right
in their forecasts and representations.
We do not care to discuss this matter
at length in these notes. Any fool can
guess on the weather and be right
mart of the time. We will only repeat
what we have heretofore said in these
notes-viz. the weather service Of the
government, based upon Geographic re-
ports of temperature, humidity, barO-
metrical pressure and the knowledge
possessed of the law of storm move
ments, constitutes the only reliable ba-
sis OF any weather forecast. These
forecasts it is well to heed, for they
are based on common sense principles
but when some old crank, hairy and
idiotic, essays to forecast weather CON
ditions based on sun spots, star orbits
| and lunar changes and gets off mess
about perheliOns, cOnjunctions and al
sorts Of stellar rot no sensible MAI
should waste a moments time on hin
or pay the least regard to his twaddle
For a fact the American people SHOULD
have outgrown the stage of 90 year
ago, when a patent medicine ALMANAC
was accepted as weather authority be
cause it was right part of the time
While we might possibly excuse som
very old people for belief in such luna
cy. we have our opinion Of live ma
who will invest his money or cover
his business by such folly.

A most astonishing operation has just
been performed at a London hospital.
This is no less than the tattooing of
young woman's eye which had lost its
color by disease, but which has, mainly
through the operation of tattooing, been
brought back to its normal shade.
The patient was 10 years old and of
good appearance, save that the left eye
WAS cOlorless and was disfgurcd by a
number of salmon patches on the cornea.
After her admission diagnosis proved
that she was suffering from a cicatrix "a
sort of scarf which had originated in the
ris-the cOlOred circle of the eye-and had
almost wholly replaced the cornea.
The patient was plucky enough to sug-
gest the taking out of the eye and the re-
placing of it with glass one, but the
doctors refused. The patches were cut
away and replaced with bits of cornea
taken from the eye of a rabbit. In a
few days the transplanted pieces united
and the appearance of the eye was mucl
improved.
But the operation was not yet quit,
complete. Very fine tattooing needles
were specially made, channeled for tn,
reception of a fluid which was skillfully
conveyed to places in the iris and in tn,
cornea, with the result that both eyes nov
look very much alike.-Stray Stories.

The Mississippi valley, the largest
fertile tract of land on the globe, was
subjected from June % up to July % to
n most abnormal climatic condition, the
like of which has never been known
since the country was settled. Scant
and infrequent showers through June
had but poorly met the needs of grow
ing crops. Then followed over so days
with no rain and the mercury ranging
from 90 to 106, Is days of the time
registering above 100. But few types
of vegetation could endure this con-
tinued degree of intense heat. The
bloom was killed on the corn, cereal
grains were prematurely ripened, near
" all flower buds blighted, only cannas
and geraniums seeming to be equal to
the test. The shrunken streams, burn
ed up pastures and scared cOrnfelds
made a sorry sight. We refer to the
matter just for the purpose of showing
how small a variation in temperature
represents success or failure in agri-
culture. From 80 to 100 degrees of heat
is the making of the corn crop, while
a temperature of 10 in the shade prac
dcally uses it up. Such n degree OF
heat can hardly be called tropical, fol
1t is seldom reached in tropical lati
ludes, and even if reached is modified
so far as plant life is concerned by tn
great humidity of the atmosphere, s.
that vegetation is not injured. TIL
heat which fell on the Mississippi val
ley last month was the heat of tn
desert-drying, shriveling, clustering
The crop losses sustained by this 3
days of desert heat were enormous an
will reach into the hundreds of million
of dollars.

In discussing the influence of the Bible
on the popular mind Professor Gigot, in
his book, '"The Bible as Literature. takes
the ground that the Bible is a difficult
book to interpret, and this is distinctly
realized by no one better than by those
specialists who are truly desilOus to make
out its meaning, not simply to hook on
some sort Of lesson to passages which
they do not understand and who frankly
confess that in many passages of the
prophetical and pOetical books the Ian
guagc is SO obscure and the train of
thought so difficult to grasp that with
every help which philOlogy can Offer they
cannot venture to affirm that they pos
sess Il certain interpretation
THE difficulties of this sort are not
confined to a few corners of the Bible.
They run through the whole volume. 8 > =
Indeed, to my mind. the sacred text is
hardly less difficult to be made out by the
average reader than treatise of gram
mar or rhetoric by child or technical
work on mechanics or law by an un-
trained youth.
Finally. the Holy Scriptures were
never meant to be an absolutely neces
sary book and the only rule of faith fol

before it, can exist without it and may
