naked at the Cow.

Does an express frank cover the
transportation of a cow? is a question
which is causing comment and smiles
in political circles in Illinois, according
to a Chicago correspondent Of the
Washington Post. Governor Yates
opined that it did, but the express COM
pany took the other view, and it's opin-
ion held.
When Richard Yates was elected
governor Of Illinois. he was presented
with a pass from the Pacific Express
company which entitled him to a COM
plimentary service over its lines. The
general understanding Of the use of
these franks is they are like telegraph
franks and are to be used only for per-
sonal matters. The governor, however,
seemed to take a different view Of it.

the state who was using the frank, and
the work was done.

office of the express company in Jack

A Prize For Potato Drying,

1t would seem to be a very simple
matter to dry potatoes, but in Ger
many, where potatoes are now extern
sively used for making alcohol and for
feeding cattle, a prize Of 10000 marks
tabout $1,000 has been offered to the
Inventor of the best method of drying
potatoes on a large scale. The cost
Of transportation is enormously re-
iuced by drying, as may be seen from
the fact that three and a half tons Of
fresh potatoes yield only one ton Of
dry ones. In consequence of the re-
cent developments in the use'o of pota-
toes German farmers have gone Ak
.ensiyely into the raising of them.

The young mother thinks, when she has

ready for baby's coming, unless she has
done something more for the baby than
merely to prepare his clothes. Many a

not possible to prepare m some way for

agony5tilat seemed almost uncomfortable.
