LOW RATE GRANTED.
Railroads Will Bring Harvest Hands
TO Kansas.

Yeterday it was announced here that
the railroads had granted rate of one
cent per mile for harvest hands TO come
TO Kansas from eastern states. For sew
eral weeks =. w. Blaine Of Pratt, and
Governor Bailey have been working with
the railroads to get a very low rate to
bring harvest hands TO Kansas during
the season.
Thirty thousand men are needed in this
state this year and many hundred more
in Oklahoma The railroads did not seem
disposed to give a very low rate early
in the season, but the matter has been
pressed with them until they granted an
exceedingly low rate for harvest hands.
This rate viii bring hundreds of men
into Kansas from the east who want to
see the great wheat fields of Kansas.
For a time It seemed as if there was no
likelihood of getting enough men to fill
the wants of the farmers but the an
nouncement Of the low rate made yester-
day assures them of men enough to
handle the crop.

War ON Porpoises.

Ships of the French navy are to go
cunning for porpoises not only because
they are expected to furnish difficult
targets, but because they are very de-
structive to fish. Those interesting
creatures feed on fish, which their
teeth. from forty to fifty in each jaw,
are admirably adapted to catch. and
schools of them will pursue the shoals
Of herring. mackerel, pilchards and
other fish into bays and estuaries. They
sometimes even ascend rivers appar-
entity in pursuit of salmon as far as
the water is brackish. Though the
skin. the oil and the flesh Of the por-
poise are all useful. Its pursuit for
commercial purposes is not sufficiently
keen to keep the numbers down. So
they are to be attacked by the French
wal ships, and. considering the rapid
ity of their movements and their sud-
den appearances and disappearance.
they should provide excellent practice
in sharpshooting.

Richard Guenther, United States con

partment Of state, says the New York
Times:

stance, that nm ordinary liver patty Ii

senting trufiies.
Cosmos, a German paper. guarantees
the fact that under the label OF canned
Holsters the soft parts of the cuttlefish
and crabs are sold.
In Paris snails are of late very popu-
lar, and the adulterators mix them
with lungs Of cattle and horses. Even
entirely artificial snails are manufac-
tured. The shells, recoated with fat
and slime, are filed with lung and then
sold as Burgundy" snails.
Lovers of fresh rooster combs are
imposed upon by a substitute cut out
Of hogs intestines. Chopped artificial
truffles are made Of black rubber, silk
or softened leather, and even whole
truffies are made out Of roasted pota-
toes, which are given n peculiar flavor
by adding ether. They are said to sell
well.
Fish spoiled in spite of ice and borax
is treated with salts Of zinc, aluminium
and other metals. Rubbing the fish
with vaseline to give 1t a fresh look
and covering the gills with fresh blood
or resin-a coal tar color-is resorted to-.
The latter is also used to intensity the
red color of inferior crabs. Imparting
a greenish color to oysters is another
adulteration. An oyster requires about
one month in the beds to acquire the
greenish color. AS this is too long a
time. the dealers help them along with
an artificial color.
The chemists in the Paris municipal
laboratories have shown that tomato
jelly is adulterated with turnips, and
powdered pepper contains a large mix
ture of powdered hard tack.

Gods COmntry.I

Do you know where Gods country is
located? When we were out in the ter
ritories enduring hardships and priva-
lions we used to talk of black in the
states as Gods country" The early
pioneers of the west looked toward
the Atlantic seaboard and the country
along the Ohio and thought of Goods
country" Now those who are compel
led to remain for a time in the Philip
pine Islands know that any part Of the
United States Is Gods country Near
" all Of them upon returning to Amer
lean shores remark, ut is good to be
back in Gods country once more" 1t
is not likely that Alaska is included in
the good land, for men returning from
the big territory Of the arctic circle up
on landing at Tacoma declare they are
again in Gods country" But since
our colonial acquisitions the sobriquet
Goods country is fast becoming rec
ognized as meaning the United States.

TO IMPROVE SUBMARINES.
Eng1ishman's Device Enables Them
to Travel Great Distances.

6u8AISnm0M DeV1C0 Them
to Travel Great Distances.
A remarkable invention has been
adopted by the British admiralty, the
effect of which is to increase the eff
cheney of British submarines, says a
London cable dispatch to the Chicago
Inter Ocean.
At present the radius Of submarine
attack is restricted owing to the diff
culties Of ventilation and the carrying
of fuel, but experiments warrant the
belief that the new submarines will be
able to travel immense distances, with
disastrous effects on the ports of an en-
envy.
The existing submarine fleet of Brit
ain is not, however, rendered obsolete.
On the contrary, it can easily be adapt
ed to utilize the new discovery.
The inventor is a British officer well
known for lis brilliant capabilities.
The most remarkable feature in his de-
sign is it's extreme simplicity. Details
Of the invention are Of course withheld
by the admiralty.
