THE Bible outsells every ether book
that Is printed, no matter how popular it
may be. One of the leading booksellers
of New York is quoted in the Sun as say
ing that while not much is heard of the
Bible as Christmas gift, its sales at the
holiday seasons reach tretremendous
proportions. "You may talk about
mulIitudinous edi ions oi popular nov

year in and year out. 1t is probably is
sued in more editions aud got mp in more
styles and shapes than any other book in

REPEALING the tariff laws with regard
to raw sugar would help the trust, de-

that time, will produce all the sugar the
people of the United States can consume.

sly NShernen.

In nearly all streams where the cur
rent is swift you will find the nets Of
the caddico worms tucked down be-
tween two rocks or fastened to fiat
stone on the brink of a waterfall.
These little nets catch stray water
bugs and sometimes entangle small
fish. They are made of a silken fabric
which the worm spins with it's mouth
and are shaped like funnel, the lar
ger end being pointed up stream so
that the wafer, rushing past, spreads
them out In position. The nets are very.
strong and quite similar in construc-
ton to spiders web. Close by his net
the little fisherman builds his home.
Lift up the nearby rocks, and under
them you will find little bunch Of
pebbles bound together by silk threads.
In among these is small silk. tube. in
which the worm lives. Were it not for
the pebbles attached to it the caddice
worms homo would go sailing down
the stream. As an extra precaution he
oftentimes fastens one end of the silk
thread to q large stone. -

The ai.tory of incubation.

l Inoculation is no new thing. The
Chinese were the earliest to practice
1T They dipped plug of cotton or rag
In the virus from a pustule and placed
it In the nostril. Two ancient English
physicians, Gilbertus Angelicus and
John of Gaddefden, both speak Of
smallpox as commonly known, but the
Chinese remedy was unknown to them.
The first book on smallpox was writ
ten by a priest and physician who
lived at Alexandria and wrote thirty
books on physic in A. D. 6S3. He also
knew nothing of vaccination, but adj
vised swimming, drinking ice water in
large quantities, saffron and warming
medicine.
The real discovery of vaccination, we
are told, was made before Jenner con-
Quoted his experiments. In the year
1774 it occurred to Benjamin Jesty, a
Dorsetshire farmer, having the old no.
ton about cowpox being an antidote
for smallpox, that it would serve as
well to be "cut' for cowpox. so ac-
cordingly he himself did actually "cut'
his wife and children for that disease.
But Jesty Is unknown to fame. Jen-
ner's name Is blessed-and banned-bV

Els Name .ob1tternted.

In some country districts in Ireland
it Is not unusual to see the owners
names simply chalked on carts and
other vehicles, in order to comply with
legal regulations. Unfortunately, this
custom lends itself to the playing Of
pranks on the part of "bhoys" MALI
ciously inclined, who sometimes rub off
the lettering and thereby gets the cart
owner into trouble with the police. A
case of this kind having occurred, a
constabulary sergeant accosted a coun-
tryman whose name had been thus
wiped out unknown to him: SIS this
cart yours, my good man." "Af coorse

I'm the midst of life we are in death. ~
He was born near Preston in Jackson
county, Iowa, February 81, 1S47 and
died December Is, 1902 at Gray, Iowa.
He was a son of David and Lidney
Swaney who were pioneers of Jackson
county and coming there at an early
date suffered the Inconvenience and
hardships of pioneer life. Mr.. Swaney
was one of eight children and received
his education and early boyhood
training at the home of his parents.
AT the age of twenty one he decided
to penetrate the great and unexplored
west and for number of years he was
resident of this part of the country
He was married February IL, 1873, to
Armunda Wilson, native of New
York state and who still survives him.
In the summer of this same year he
came to Audubon county and pur-
chased so acres of the then wild and
raw prairie land for which Iowa was
noted in those days. Mr.. Swaney
was man of cordial and genial nat
ure and soon won many friends in his
new home and was elected to many
offices of honor and trust, such as
township Justice of Peace, trustee,
member of school board, assessor, and
township delegate and filled these
offices in a manner betting his cleo
ton for "a number of years in success
ion. Eighteen years ago he was
stricken with epilepsy, it gradually
growing worse until last Monday
when he died from the effects of it.
He was formerly member of the
Veritas lodge lodge No. 392, A. F. and
A. NJ which is located at Audubon
and had the degrees of Masonry con-
ferred on him while in Jackson
county. He was the father of seven
children five of whom survive him:
Roy, Ada NJ, Wilson B., Minerva G
and Albert, and his affectionate wife
who are left to mourn the loss of
kind and indulgent husband and faith
en- The funeral services were held at
his Cameron township home Thurs
day at IL A. M. by Rev Bennett pas
tor of the NJ. E. church at Gray and
at Manning. The interment took
place at the Viola Center cemetery.
Thus an old resident of Cameron
township and one of her pioneers and
builders has been taken from us in the
midst of health. The entire commuu-
ity extend their sympathy in this
hour of aff1iction and realize in his
death the loss of a good citizen and
one of the county's pioneers.

all, you had better lay him on the left
side. No, am sure the treatise on

the whole, Jane, you may lay the baby

TRUTH.

That which is true or certain concern
ing any matter or subject, or, generally
on all subjects, is called truth. Some
facts are self-evident, needing no proof.
Generally, that which needs much proof,
or apology, is not fact. Generally,
verify is like a highway, so plain that
even fool may not err therein.
No one ever denied the golden rule.
I never heard of any one trying to
prove it. It is fundamental law. All
men agree that fundamental truth is
eternal. The facts of nature are as
simple as, one and one and one are
three. When proposition is hard to
understand, either it is false, or the
reasonings are false.
When we think of telegraphing across
the Atlantic, it seems mysterious. But
if we begin right, the mystery soon un-
ravels; it is as plain as dropping pebbles
into the water. Drop small pebble; it
makes small waves which do not reach
the shore. If we could drop large
enough stone, the waves would cross
the Atlantic. When we halloo, we pro-
duce waves in a lighter element than
water. If our lungs were strong enough,
we might be heard on the other shore.
The telegrapher has succeeded in
transmitting waves in lighter element
across the Atlantic with sufficient force
to affect an instrument on this side.
The instrument simply produces waves,
as the pebble, but in higher element.
Thus it is with all verified fact and all
successful mechanism, the elements of
simplicity.
Men have tried to invent machine
to run perpetually without power. We
know that there is perpetual motion;
we see it in the movements of the plan
cts and suns. On the earth there is
friction to overcome, hence, the neces-
sity for power. Ever since Darwin
wrote, men have been trying to discover
the origin of species. Any theory that
needs so much proving, is false. Among
many wise, and otherwise, sayings of
Solomon, we find, "there is nothing
new" No one has ever disproved it. 1t
is true, Truth never was "orushed to

WOOD AS FUEL.
Editor Conservative:

ify the following article Careful OBJ
servation by many parties indicate
that at the present time there is more
timber growing in the eastern counties
Of the state than thirty years ago.
Where protected from forest fires, the
native groves have been able to creep
out into the bottoms and over ada
cent bluffs. The average Nebraska
farmer has not been attracted to lum-
bering and is only from necessity
wood chopper. The abundant crops
of corn usually grown have often times
furnished the thrifty farmer as many
cobs as he could conveniently use for
fuel, and the fact that he had them
on his premises has led to their free
use as fuel rather than the distasteful
work of cutting trees for fuel, even
when he had them on his own land.
While cobs are not as satisfactory fuel
to use in cook stove in the respect
that they need to be fed frequently.
yet probably four -fifths of the farmers
of the state use them whenever they
have secured corn crop. The corn
shipped out of the state is shelled be-
fore it is shipped and the cobs result
ing from the Smelling are sold in all
the minor villages at from 81. 40 to
80. 30 per ton.
January 8, 1872, the writer purchas-
ed of the Burlington Railroad Com
pany, receiving fifteen years time,
and contracting to plant 100 acres of
orchard and timber OH land purchased.
In addition to this planting. the writer
carefully protected all the native
trees which came within the limits of
the land purchased and lying OH both
sides Of the Blue, and also the trees
which spread up into the ravines and
over the adjacent bluffs. A portion
of this timber is now being cut and
marketed as fuel and fence posts In
determining the comparative value of
the different kinds of wood, one with
another, DR.. Bessey, of the state uni
versity was consulted. DR.. Sargent.
in his extended work on the forest
trees of America, gives the relative fuel
value of nearly all varieties of trees
found growing in North America.
Comparing these, one with another,
it is found that using the we'll known
soft maple, now. selling in country
towns at 81. so per cord, composed of
three stoVe ricks, each rick four feet
high and eight feet long, as basis of
value, we have the following values
per cord: Hickory, 81. 1S; oak, $6. 40 /;
honey locust So. 90; ash, So. 05; sugar
maple, $5. 81; apple, $5. 81 elm. $5. 63 {;
walnut, $5. 19; willow, $3. 80; catalpa,
$3. So; cottonwood, $3.28.
1t is interesting to notice in this
