HOW BEER is DOsED.

Beer many times is out of condition
and has to be- doctored. II may have
in it t''false ferments''-that is ,ferments
orher than yeast. To Kill these fer
ments the beer is dosed with antiseptic
drugs, which sometimes do not dispose
of all of the.ferments, and the beer be-
gins to work and seethe with gas This
condition is called "thelfrets" and it
takes an extra large dose Of salicyllc
acid to finish the killing.

misery for which this nation suffers.
Twenty years of judicial life aud 46

County Superintendent Notes.

All the schools have closed in the
county except the Isabel school.
Our Normal Institute will open Mon.
day, June Goth.
The courses of study are now at the
County Superlntendent's Office. They
are for sale at the small sum of 10 cents.
By mail IA cents.
Supplies for the Annual school meet
ing have not yet been received from
the state department. AS soon as they
arrive, all necessary papers will be
sent to the district clerks.
The largest number of graduates IN
the history of the county goes to show
the interest being taken along this line
and the good work done in the schools.
This year we have twenty graduates as
follows:
Wava Davis Grace Mcclure
Maggie Pfaff Clara Warnstaff
Theodosia Stewart Chas f. Murray
Grace Kennedy Ralph w. Howell
Ethel Murphy Adolph Bissantz
Geo l.. Light Geo. Stewart,
VIM. Rhodenbaugh Maud Hickle
Ella Williams Edna Callison
Georgia G.. Ward Ralph Nurse
Clyde Roy Davis COrnelia Purdy
ROn account of grades made, WaYa
Davis wins first prlZe-a years free
tuition in almost any of the colleges in
Kansas. Maggie Pfaff, second prize
two thirds of a years tuition. Theodosia
Stewart, third prize-one-th third of a
years tuition.
1t has been decided that each school
having graduate shall take part in
the Commencement Exercises. Where
there is but one graduate from a school
that graduate will give the grafton.
Where a school has more than one
graduate, the graduates are expected to
select one of their mum Der to represent
them. The large number of graduates
requires some such action in order to
limit the number Of orations and pre-.
vent making the exercises too long.
The exercises will be held during the
Normal--The exact date will be an.
nouEced later. Every graduate will
be expected to be present at the exer.
cises in order that he may receive his
diploma.

CONCERNING TABLES.

Taken all in all. the square table
with solid centre support and corner
legs that are strong without being
"lumpy" and graceful without orna-
ment. is the best for general use. AS
dining room and library furniture
yields far less to the influence of fash
ion than does that for the drawing
room. IL should be selected !or its rich
woods, its fine construction, its solid
ity and character. All cheap vulgarij
ties of ornament should be eschewed,
and especially that which is glued on.
Rough carving is least Objectionable
though a handsomely grained wood
with no ornament save its own fine
colorlng is far richer. Two favorite
woods for heavy dining room and Ii
brary tables are oak and mahogany.
The former is toned in golden, dark
oak, Flemish brown, or cathedral
green, and is seen either in high
shellac or a wax finish. The fayorite
width for q library table is thirty
four inches; for the dining table, from
forty five to fifty-four inches.-HaE

It IL Somewhat Better Understood by
Psychologists.

"Sleepwalklng IL somewhat better
understood now than formerly, but
psychologists are not thoroughly
agreed In regard to many Of Its
phases" observed n wcll-known physi-
clan TO Star reporter. "One OF the
recent cases, that OF n young man out
West walking ten miles to visit his
father, and OF an even more recent
case, that Of young lady walking
three miles on cold night In her
night gown without awakening upsets
many Of the previously accepted theo-
ries. 1t has been thought that ex-
posure to intense cold as well as in
tense heat would awaken the sleep
walker. but In these cases, which are
well authenticated IL appears that this
opinion, while correct possibly in the
main, Is not always so. In my early
days when attending lectures at
medical college in Baltimore, |, with
some other medical students. witnessed
one of the famous sleepwalking cases
that is quoted In many of the stand
ard books. One night we were passing
along Lexington street where the Lex
ington street market is located. one
of our party called attention to NOV
ing figure clad in white on the roof OF
the markct building. 1t proved To be
that of girl about seventeen years
of age. She had lost n canary bird
the afternoon before, which was last
seen on the caves Of the roof Of the
market house. Darkness came on,
however, before n thorough search for
the bird could be made, and 1t was
given up. The girl went to bed and
during the night left her bed and re-
turned to the market house and
climbed to its roof. This in itself was
not n very difficult task, for there
was series of sheds leading to 1t.
She walked the entire length of one
side of the market, along the extreme
edge of the roof. At every step it
seemed she would step over the edge,
and had she done SO she would likely
have been killed. Our party divided
up. and one now the leading physi'
clan of Charleston, :. c., climbed To
the roof and seized the girl. She woke
tho instant he touched her, and IL was
with the greatest difficulty that he
could keep her from falling, for while
in her sleep she appeared to be an
expert she was very poor climber
when awake. 1t was clear case OF
sleepwalking. and had she gone ten
feet further she would have found the
bird. which has roasted for the night
in the rain gutter which ran along the
roof. and where il was found Few
minutes afterward. Sleepwalking is
much more frequent than is generally
understood. though as rule II Is con-
fined to children. | have known OF
several cases of adults who would take
walks in their sleep ns often as once
in n week. Washington Star.

A Fashion Fancy.


The smart girl has n new use for
heavy silk cord. She is again demon.
strating her c!cyerness by converting IL
into a novel corsage decoration. The
silk cord Is thick and preferably black,
and here and there she sews TO IL big
black passementerie balls. These balls
are sometimes OF silk. and sometimes
are studded with Jet beads. To look
effective the cord should be at least
five yards long. She winds il loosely
about her neck, crossing Ii in the back.
and keeping one end longer than the
other; she does the same thing over
and over again, until she has four
loops arranged In festoon fashion over
the front OF her waist, with each loop
longer than the last. After she has
made four loops. she ties the two ends
at the left side in bow, the ends OF
which are either finished with black
silk tassels or passcmenterie balls.
This cord corsage decoration gives n
touch OF charm and ncwness to a plain
waist. and Is n happy variation from
the bead chains-Woman' Home Com

really makes an astonishing difference
in the decent duration Of any garment.
Also, find it pays to remove promptly.
with benZine or other agents, any
grease or paint spots on woolens. A
coat collar is quickly cleaned IL ben
zine is poured on it and with Il cloth
rubbed briskly in. and a man Is not
happy looking when his coat has a
soiled collar. Besides, these little at
tentions, by prolonging the usefulness
Of one expensive garment, may save
money to buy other things. First l
brush the garment, then wet the grease
spots with benzine and rub with n
cloth the color of the goods, and mend,
if need be. Then l take it to the IRON
ing board and proceed TO stay with
it. There may be better ways; this
is mine. Have n hot iron always;
wiring lntless cloth out OF cold water
and, laying it on the garment, iron
till dry. This ''freshens" and re-
moves dust, as it goes) Repeat till
every part Of the garment has been
ironed. by this process alone l have
made even quite disreputable looking
old pantaloons look new.-B. H., in

KEEPING CABBAGES.

An excellent way to keep cabbages
Is to pull them up and put them close
together. roots in the ground, and cover
them, so as To protect against rain.
first placing salt hay or straw over the
heads. BY this plan the cabbages will
keep until late in the spring, as the
stalks Will take root and throw out
sprouts or greens, after the heads are
gone. BY burying the heads with the
roots up the frost prevents their use.
and when the frost leaves them the
ground is damp and the heads rot. 1t
will be found OF advantage to use the
stalks in the manner stated, if for no
other purpose than TO secure the early
greens.

RAISING BLACK MINoRCAs.

1t frequently happens that the poul-
try raiser must have combination
which will give him white eggs and
n carcass OF good size. The White
Leghorn will furnish the white eggs.
but rs Il table fowl is not much OF a
success. The Black Minorcas seem to
fill the bill better than any other breed
we have tested. The carcass develops
we'll, and is plump and of good form.
The flesh is white and the legs black.
which Is somewhat against the breed
in some sections, where consumers
have been educated TO yellow flesh and
legs, but the flesh is tender and OF ex-
cellent flavor. So one may be able to
overcome the scruples OF consumers.
The eggs are pure white and of good
size. averaging larger tnan the. Leg
horns. and OF the best flavor. While
the breed is hardy. the combs are large
and lop-sided. so are apt TO freeze
readily. hence a warm house is neces-
sary in cold weather. Certain breed
ers are at work per:ectiag a small
comb strain. and IL they accomplish
IL the Black Minorcas will be found
everywhere that white eggs and good
carcass are desired. - Indianapolis
