MUST LIVE ON LAND.
Homesteaders Must Comply With Reg
ular Rules Of Half a Century.

| uldT Hules OF Halt century.
Washington, Feb. 10.--Mr. Bin
ger Hermann. commissioner OF the
general land Office has received a large
number of letters from persons who
were successful in the land drawing in
the Kiowa-Comanche country in Ok
lahoma, making inquiries as to the
provisions of the law relating TO act
ual occupancy of the land In response
TO these inquiries Mr. Hermann has
addressed a letter to the officials and
to teh parties seeking the information.
In which he says: The holder of a
claim must within six months after
making his entry, establish his pre-
emption and must cultivate his lands
continuously for five years. as requir.
ed by law, before he can acquire title
from the government"
The time for making entries under
the drawing expired on October 4. and
homesteaders who drew tickets in the
lottery and have made their entries
will have to establish actual occupan.
cy upon the land six months from
the date of their entry Most of the en-.
tries were made In August and Septem.
ber' Those who made entries in Sep
tember will have to occupy their lands
by actual residence in February.
Those who made their entries in Au-
gust must take up then residence in
March.
Reports received at the general land |
office are to the effect that nearly all
the lands opened TO pre-emption has
been taken up. OF the $4,000 who |
drew tickets emitting them to select
claims, 1858 filed their claims prior
to October 4. The lands left by those
who drew tickets, but failed to hle
their claims, have since nearly all
been pre-empted under the general
laws.

II is Woman's Way.

In all seriousness the Houston Post
says everything for the past week has
been about the Biddles and about Mrs.
Soffel. The good women of Pennsyl-
vania are weeping over the graves of
the poor, misguided misunderstood
young men, and turning up their
noses and heaping contumely upon
Mrs. Soffel. This is womanlile. Had
things been utterly reversed, had the
Biddles been women and Mrs. Soffel
been a man, married man, who had
endeavored to aid their escape the wo-
men would have been shying bricks
at the graves of the defunct and bou-
quets at the head of the poor, dear.
chivalrous man who left wife and
children to succor them. It is woman's
way, and woman's way is past all nm
derstanding. God bless her anyhow.

OUR TRADE IN ISLANDS

A Vienna newspaper has in
vented a circumstantial statement
OF negotiations for the transfer
of the Philippines from the. Uni
ted States to, Germany. The visit
of Prince Henry is said to be
'spreliminary. to the announce
1nent that the islands have been
Sold" OF course this is made out
of the whole cloth. Yet it would
excite but a languid interest if it
were true. We are disposed to
believe that it would be accepted
with some satisfaction, as q
happy release from a tiresome
and Improbable situation.
The United States bought the
Philippines, without really want
ing them. The idea of acquiring
real estate in Asia had not prev
iously occurred to anybody in
this country, but this was in the
nature of a forced sale and there
seemed no way to AVOID the pur-
chase. VIZ took the property with
it's membranes and it has
proved very costly and trouble
some and has put US to a great
deal Of Inconvenience, without
any prospect OF compensation.
We cannot abandon the property,
but if we could sell itsagain On
advantageous terms, would there
be any serious objection?
1t must be observed that the
purchase aud sale of islands and
their INHABITANTS is a new trade
with tbs United Sta,es. We are
just now buying some islard. from
Denmark, without consulting the
wishes of The people, as we
bought toe Philippines from
SPAN. The FiIipinos have not
taken as k nd'y to toe transfer IS
was hoped, aud it has been nee s.
sary to shoot a great many of
them in order to make them loyal
to TIE new flag.

CRYSTAL GAZING.

Latest Craze In London Society
Started by Andrew Lang.
A new craze threatens to grip society,
according to q cable dispatch from Lon
don to the Chicago Record-Herald.
That is crystal gazing. Andrew Lang
Is the prime o He has been rec
ommending.that every one should pos
sess q crystal ball and sit down with It
in the hope OF seeing uncanny pictures.
MI. Lang succeeded even beyond his
dreams.
People everywhere are buying crystal
balls. They have read MI. Lang's ar
ticle in a monthly review, and on its
advice are writing to the Psychical Re
search society In Buckingham street,
the Strand, for the necessary crystals.
Mr.. Bennett, secretary of the society,
says that as a result Of Mr.. Lang's ar
ticle the demand for crystals a gone
up with a bound. So many are the or
ders thai he is unable to execute them
all. -
"There is something weirdly attrac-
tive in Mr.. Lang's instructions to crys-
tai gazers. It is best, he says, to go
into a room and sit down with your
back to the light Place the ball at
the proper focus on a piece Of dark
cloth. Try to exclude reflections. Think
Of everything you please. Stare. say,
five minutes at b ball. That Is all.
Mr.. Lang says he has known people
to see in the crystal things actually
happening miles away. More wonder
full STILL he has known people gazing
into separate crystals at the same mo
ment each to see the same picture.
