NATURALIZATION
TIE agents of the Delaware and
Lackaw ana company, of Syracuse.
Utica and other cities in northern
New York, deserve honorable men,
ton az exceptions to the extOrtion
which has been the rule with the coal
operators. These agents have stood
out COR the interests of the coal con-
suners and as result the people
Of these cities have been paying $6
70 $3.50 ton, while from SO to $14
a ton was charged in other markets.
If the Delaware and Lakawana COM
pany can protect the public in this
way, there seems to be no insuper-
able obstacle to prevent others from
doing so-if they were SO minded.

A Marquis Tells why They wish TO

An interview had recently I'm Paris
with an unnamed japanese marquis Is
quoted widely in Europe MS being the
best expression Of Japanese ambitions
and desires that has yet been made,
says the New York Commercial Adver-
tiser lie said:
I'VE desire to enter into the lists with
Russia because that would assure our
race an equality with European ma
tons Whether you like It or not, you
are Influenced by the racial type to
which we belong and by our color. You
cannot conceive the idea that we are
civilized and as powerful as yourselves.
that we nre your equals IN the econom-
ic, military and social sphere When
the international expeditions were or
gnniged during the late war in China
the command Of the different columns
was intrusted IN turn 70 English. Ger
man. French and Italian generals.
None Of you would have been willing
TO place European troops under the or
ders Of q Japanese general
yet I ask you why not? Are we In

or civilized men having the same claim

then. we desire this wap II only 60 CON

The poor. harmless grass snake is the
subject Of stories almost as wonderful
as those related Of the adder. The
superstition that, however much you
may hammer It, It will not die till the
setting Of the sun is widely held. A
fable not so generally held to is that
even at sundown it will not die II you
should neglect TO tell some one Of what
you have done. The rule on seeing one
OF these terrible creatures is TO hit it
and tell''-that is. give 1t a good drub-
bing and run quickly and tell some one.
The best snake story is from Leigh
Sinton, near Malvern, according TO n
London correspondent. A laborer
states that he had killed a grass snake
and hung it on a tree. The blood
dripped down and a toad came and
swallowed some, dying instantly!
The fancy that makes this species
poisonous or even harmful is a wild
one, but how much more wild is that
which attributes violent toxic proper
ties TO any chance drop of blood from
its body! 1t might have been though
that the other popular belief that poi
sonous things cannot be poisoned woulc
have saved the life Of the poor toad

severity exercised in that famous corps.
Shooting at sight is permitted the Of

Nowhere is there such a corps, ac-

ranks are recruited from outcasts OF
all social ranks. Disgraced officers of
the Russian service, deserters from the
German army, broken scions Of the
Austrian nobility, fraudulent debtors
from Belgium, forgers from Spain,
homieides from America. ruined gam
blers from italy. are found in plenty
in the ranks. No excuse is taken for a
fault, and the slightest symptom of In
subordination carries with it a swift
passage TO another world. II is under
stood that recruits are simply seeking
refuge from the arm of the civil law.

PRAIRIE DOCS HIS HELPERS.


Nebraska Farmer TO Test Law De-
signed 20 Rfd Kim OF His worlsnen.
There Is great excitement and lndig-
nation on the head waters Of the Min
necaduza creek. IN Cherry county, Heb..
over The action Of Senator Brown Of
this district in securing the passage Of
bin by the last legislature designed
to exterminate one Of the industries Of
northwest Nebraska, says the Omaha
Bee.
II viii be remembered that Senator
Brown secured the passage OF an act
to exterminate the prairie dog in Ne
hraska When they wore not extpr-
minated by the owner Of the land on
which they had their habitat, then It
was made the duty Of the road over
seer to destroy them and charge the
expense OF same against the land.
Louis Grosmenur, who was one Of
the earliest settlers on the AIinnecadu-
"a creek, near Georgia, Neb, has for a
number OF years been training the in
habitnnts Of a small prairie dog town
upon his farm. As Is well known, the
most profitable crop that can be grown
IN this region Is alfalfa. For the great
est success in growing alfalfa two
things are necessary. First, that tho
roots OF the alfalfa plant shall be IN
fecied with a certain fungus, and. sec
ond, that the roots shall DO ablo TO
pierce the soil and reach the wnter be-
meath. Mr. Grosmentir made the I'm
portnnt discovery a few years ago that
this fungus is propngated by the prai-
rio dog and carried by It IN digging It's
burrows through the earth so as to pre-
pare tho ground for alfalfa culture.
After four years Of dillgent application
he has perfected hfs system so that his
dogs not only infect the soil with fun
gus. but break through the harlpan
IN numbcriess places so as TO afford
easy access to the alfalga roots 20 the
all important water beneath.
One Of the most beautiful sights ever
Witnessed in tho redemption Of the
somlarld west Is to behold Mr Gros-
mentir's town Of prairie dogs at work
preparing a field for alfalfa culture.
II has Just boon made known that
under che statute passed hy the last
legislature Of Nebraska tlrese beautiful
and Industrious releemers Of the region
are condemned to death Mr.. Grosmen-
tlr is taking steps to test the law and
for that purpose win consult the most
eminent counsel I'm thestate

THE FIERY DRAGON.
Ancient and Medizval Descriptions
of the Monster.

of the Monster.
Dragons were important animals In
ancient and medieval natural history.
Dntil comparatively recent time no
scientist ever thought Of Questioning
the existence Of this most formidable
Of beasts The anpuls OF Winchester
for 11T7 gravely state that "in this year
dragons were seen OF many I'm Eng
land" Gesner. professor OF natural
history at Zurich, gives a detailed de-
scription of the dragon, while Aldro-
vandus, in his History of Serpents
and Dragons" published in 1640, de
votes fifty pages TO the monster. A
good specimen OF a dragon would seem
TO have been a beast about the size OF
q sheep. incased in a coat OF scales
which shone like silver. It's back was
serrated Ike q saw. II possessed a
long tail. a pair OF batlike wings, four
heavily clawed feet and a wolvine head,
the Jaws OF which were armed with
very formidable teeth. The tongue
was barbed with fire, and fury issued
from the monsters mouth, and the head
bore a crest. Dragons were the most
wicked and vindictive OF creatures.
They seem always TO have been in a
towering rage and spent the greater
portion Of their time in rushing up and
down tho earth destroying everything
that came IN their path. The origin OF
dragons was disputed point among
MEDIEVAL naturalists Some maintain
cd that these animals were generated
by the heat Of India; others were OF
opinion that the volcanoes OF Ethiopia
used TO belch forth the monsters. One
scientist, John Leo by name. declared
the dragon to be a hybrid, a cross be-
tween an eagle and a wolf.

what columbus Might Have Done.

There are relatives Of Columbus liv-

said that gambling debts are keeping
them poor. These persons look TO the
United States with wistful eyes, hoping
that some patriotic American will con-
fer on them a few millions in recogni-
ton Of their distinguished ancestor.
This fact led statisucian to work his
brain. and he published the statement
that had Columbus placed 81 at COM
pound interest at per cent 400 years
ago his descendants today would pos
sess a sum amounting to more than
Ss6OO.OOO,OOO. When these figures were
published Lyman ]. Gage was secre-
tary of the treasury. His attention
was called TO the tremendous possibil
ity OF a single dollar. and his commen'
was either a sincere remark or a vel
adapted pun. He said. Indeed, TO me
