What the Union Pacific is doing in en-
cheering improvements is commended to
other companies that operate in parts of
the country where no such difficulties are
encountered as in the West. Straight roads
are economic roads, and they invite traffic.
The wild yanks and alarming rolls to which
passengers are subject on some of them
cause train sickness, which is a form of
sea sickness, and headache, and they cause
a rapid deterioration of cars and engines.
Those railroads make the best bid for
patronage that promise not merely speed,
but comfort, and steadiness is the more
comfortable, because it indicates security.
We have been eager to extend the mileage
of this country. Now we might show some
expedition in reducing it by following the
example of the Union Pacific in straighten-
ing needless turns and lowering or raising
needless grades.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Hogs Delight in Mud Baths.

The hog is a native of hot climates,
where his thick skin served as a pro-
lection against poisonous snakes and
other enemies. Filthy quarters pro-
vide a harboring place for mites and
vermin, from which they are with
difficulty dislodged. The extreme
thickness of the hogs skin also tends
to retain the body heat too closely
when penned up in hot weather, out
of reach of his natural protective ele-
ment-a moist mud bath. The hog
that is free to find it well knows how
to escape from insect enemies; OF if
overheated, into a wallow hole, where
he will plaster his entire body in an
armor of mud, which when peeled off
cleans and invigorates his skin.

AS a result of experiments upon live
stock DR.. Fl. P.Armsby, director of the
experiment station of Pennsylvania,
a y that he has found that a steer in
the respiration calorimeter loses
weight at the rate of four and a half
ounces a day when standing up and
gains at the rate of six and a half
ounces when lying down. This is a
confirmation of the theory tlhat quiet
and contented animals make best
gains. DR.. Armsby says further that
the heat generated in fattening ami
mails is more than sufficient for their
needs, and that these animals do not
ueed warm stables.

intoxicating Beans.

Among the peasants of southern
Italy, Sicily and Sardinia a curious
malady has been noticed by physi-
clans, which is caused by eating beans.
One of the most remarkable effects of
the malady is a species of intoxication
resembling that produced by alcoholic
drink. In some cases persons pre-
disposed to the malady are seized with
the symptoms of intoxication if they
pass a field where the bean plant is
in flower, the odor alone sufficing to
affect them.-Detroit Free Press.

hiding in ones pocket instead of resuming its place in the banks and
in circulation. Let the pay rolls, which are usually transferred from
employee to savings bank, be boarded through fear or distrust of gen
eral business conditions, and the amount Of money in circulation will
very soon be lessened to such an extent as to create absolute strin-
gencv. Measurable relief has been found heretofore through clear
ing house certificates. Such, however, are available only as between
banks in settlement of balances. In the money panic Of 1893 such
certificates were used by the New York clearing house to the amount
Of Sal 100000 and afforded great relief to commercial interests. Con
ditions were then unique. The panic was brought about by distrust
Of the credit Of the governments fear that we were going upon a
silver basis as a nation.
THE TIME HAS GONE BY WHEN THE CLEARING
HOUSE CERTIFICATE MAY BE AVAILED OF WITH
SAFETY. Their future use would materially impair Our national
prestige as a money power in the world Of finance. They are more
likely to damage than aid a city which may hereafter resort to them.
Interior banks would divert their exchanges to other localities that
still continue to pay currency, to an amount which would likely more
than offset the amount OF clearing house certificates which could be
used.
WHAT WE REQUIRE IS o CLEARING HOUSE GER
TIFICATES, good only in the settlement of balances between banks,
BUT CURRENCY GOOD IN THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE
FOR ANY BUSINESS PURPOSE. Our laws should be amended
SO as to permit banks to issue emergency crcuation-ASSET CUR
RENCY, if you please-currency, the redemption Of which should be
made a first lien upon the assets OF a bank, and still further protected
bv a redemption fund maintained by the bank of issue with the
treasurer Of the United States for such purpose. Let this be sub
iected to a five per cent. tax, if you please, a tax sufficient in amount
TO inducet he retirement Of the circulation in normal conditions.
During the recent financial crisis in Germany, the Imperial bank
prevented a serious panic, with all its distressing consequences, by
issuing a very large amount Of emergency or asset currency, upon
which IT paid into the imperial treasury a tax Of FIVE per cent. THE

KIRKENDALL'S TEAM is STRONG
One of City League Mines Looks
Mighty Good in Its
Makeup.

The F. P. Kirkendall & Co. base ball
team will figure this season as one Of the
strongest aggregations in this city. Omaha,
South Omaha and Council Bluffs have been
searched for the best material that can be
had. Among the players signed will APP
pear a few that may be familiar: Art
Kennedy, from last years Young Mems
Christian Association team, will play at
short stop; he is a strong player, and an
excellent batter. Klofat will hold his old
place at first, and is a good man in that
capacity. Flanagan resigned from the
managership OF the Union Pacific headquar-
ter's team to hold second pad, and will
never Re found wanting. J. Weir, from
Chicago university, will see that nothing
to this city and the Kirkendall boys feel
BATTERED In securing him.
The outfeld is exceptionally fine. Foley
in left last year played an errorless game
and is the star fielder OF the City league.
]. Croft is one Of the boys from the house,
and it would be hard to find a better man
for right field. Croft is the best thrower
in the team, and also one OF the strong
est batters. Martin will see that no home
runs are made in center field. Martin is
small, but what he lacks In height and
weight, he makes up in his errorless field
ing and base running.
The battery. the principal feature OF the
team, has at last been signed. Troby, who
did some work for the team last year, will
do most of the twirling. Troby is an Omaha
product and. although he has pitched
for four years, will make his first appear
ance in leading amateur circles this season.

NEBRASKA ON THE DIAMOND
University Base Hall Team More
Than Redeems It's Promise
of Excellence.

Omahans who are interested for any
reason in the athletic side of the University
OF Nebraska were given an opportunity
last week to size up the base ball team
that will represent the institution during
1902. The result was highly gratifying and
II the students were merely playing their
good game on Wednesday and Thursday,
they certainly have every cause to be
proud OF themselves as base ballists. 1t
would seem, too, that the exhibition Of base
ball shown by the varsity men during their
two games with the Omaha leaguers will
certainly be no more than their fair game,
for competition with professionals OF such
class as omaha's players is always more or
less conducive to stage fright among ANA
teurs. Therefore. 1t is very probable that
the Nebraska boys can play as good ball
as they did here two-thirds OF the time
throughout the season, and IL they do II is
hard to figure out anything other than

Y. M. C. A. OUTDOOR ATHLETICS
Ames Avenue Park TO BE Again the
Scene of Association Activity
This Summer.

After a winter passed in strenuous en-
deavor to secure a new and suitable athletic
park, the prospects now are that all at
tempts to get a more desirable location
than that of last year will be fruitless. and
tfat the Young Mems Christian association
will be found once more dlsporting itself
In the big enclosed park at Twenty-hfth
street and Ames avenue.
This is somewhat OF a disappointment TO
the local association athletes. as several
times during the winter months IL has

several different sites, all nearer to the
city htan the Ames Avenue park. Such
success would have had no small effect. too.
upon the attendance at the work during
the outdoor season, as it is a considerable
strain upon-a mans devotion to sports and
calisthenics to be compelled to make a
three-mile journey before he can begin his
daily routine and duplicate It after his ex-
ercise is finished.
In only that feature. however, is the
Ames Avenue park undesirable. for II has
every other recommendation. Including
many that a new site would not possess
1t has several valuable fixtures that il
would cost something to duplicate. such as
the grand stand, the fences, the locker and
bath house, and the water service. Again.
the Ames avenue field furnishes about four
times the ground space that could easily

iar or farther. There are a good MANY

great difference the change OF seasons makes
