Is there a preparation made TO keep dust
from rising while sweeping carpets?-L. G..
None, certainly. that is very widely ex-
plotted. Housewives often scatter damp
tea leaves before the broom. These some
times will leave a stain If applied too damp.
and a substitute that is safe in this respect
consists merely OF dampened pieces of
paper.
What were the comparative values of the

What is the law regarding nonresidents
being married in ST. Louis. Mo-? Do they

A license is necessary, and for boys un-

parents consent is required. Previous resi-

tants Of a region where it grows. 1t was
introduced into the United States by the
Department of Agriculture some fifteen
years ago, and is grown as a substitute for
Indian corn, over which 1t has advantages
in hot, dry regions. 1t is less valuable as
food when reckoned by weight, but the de-
fciency is more than made up by greater
yields. 1t is grown on the largest scale in
Oklahoma and Kansas, and Texas and Cali
fornia raise much of it. More is grown
for forage than for grain.
What is a stationary wave? 2. Will you

S. S.
One made in running water by inequality
of the bed. Such are in all shallow streams
of considerable speed. 2. 1t was an ancient
usage of English law by which accused and
accuser, in lack of ample direct evidence,
might meet in mortal combat by the issue
of which the cause was held to be legally
decided. In civil cases the parties fought
through champions. but in criminal ones
they fought in person, except when the
prosecutor was a woman, a priest, an in
FAINT or a man who was Incapable of combat,
when the matter was left to trial by jury.
Both parties pledged themselves to obtain
from sorcery and witchcraft, and prelimi-
nary and combat were attended with much
elaboration of forms. The contest was in
the presence of the court, and lasted until
the death of one party. or until the stars
appeared, by which time the one having
the better of the affair was considered the
successful sutton for justice. This barbarous
practice, which was founded in the idea Of
an appeal TO Providence, was held 10 be
legal as late as 1918. Then. in a murder
case. the man charged challenged his ac-
cuser, but the latter, by advice of counsel,
refused combat AS a result of this &C.
currence, a law was passed abolishing the

Pupils,

The concluding feature Of commence.
ment week was the entertainment given
by the primary grades at Reoker hull
last night. 1t took the form OF musi-
cal performance introducing the oTadle
songs OF many different natiopalities.
A trio OF youngsters were chosen to rep.
resent each country aud they appeared
IN the significant mother dress Of the
country represented aud carried their
dollies, to whom they sung the national
lullaby. The German, French aud Swed-
ish were very well rendered in the tongue
of those nations. The several others
were rendered in English aud dialect.
The voices OF the little ones were sweet
and quite well trained but hardly filed
the auditorium so as to be heard with
satisfactory distinctness. A little stage
fright was apparent. But in the in.

FRIDAY, MAY 30, 1902.

The farmers of the, entire Arkansas
valley of Colorado were made to rejoice
with exceeding joy Monday night and
Tuesday. All during the night and on
Tuesday the rain fell in steady gentle
shower. thoroughly soaking the dry
fields and putting a new and brighter
face on all agricultural prospects. The
unusual lack of snow in the mountains
has been more than made good by gen
crai rain. The feeling OF uncertainty
which prevailed week ago has given
place to hopeful buoyancy and the
farmer, gardener and bee, grower now
holds up his head and steps high. In all
the history of agriculture in the valley
there has never been a crop failure and
this bcncficcnt rain will insure bounti-
fnl crops for the season Of 1902.
