A Wise Woman

From the amount OF Advertising
and the price OF admission the people
OF Vinita were expecting 10 hear
something good on last Wednesday
evening, Jan 81; hut we're very much
disappointed. The players were very
good, but not half the talent each one
possessed could be shown ON account
OF their unfortunate selection OF 3
play. Why IL was called "A Wise
Woman" none OF the audience under
stood, for IL was certainly very foolish
from beI inning TO end, aud showed
10 wisdom on the part OF the writer
for writer for writing such and none
on the partt Of the player for playln g
such and people will always be dis
satisfied where they have been made
TO pay seyenty.ove cents for a twenty
tye cent show. Much attention was
drawn TO the gentlemen leaving be-
tween acts, for chewing gum It was
supposed, as the motion OF their lips
on return would evidently prove.

Queer Freak of the Brain.

In England last year a case occur
red in which a deliriouS woman re-
covered her mastery of a language
which she had been unable to speak
for seventy years. She had been born
in India and the first form of speech
taught her was the native Hipdostari
Iot ner nurses. AT the age of she
had been removed to Europe, living
in turn in France and Germany be-
fore going to England to complete her
education. Afterward she had re-
tanned her proficiency in French and
German, but all but few words of
Hindostani had passed from her mem
ory. In her delirium she talked fluent
ly in Hindostani and friends about her
who knew the language were able to
follow her sayings to her nurses as
Ae recalled her conversations in In
dia of seventy years earlier. Then
the talk changed She passed into
French and from that to German.
while when she was nearing recovery
her utterances changed to English.
When she recovered all recollection OF
Hindostani' had again left her.

Cut Hair While Asleep.

Miss Blanche Pacetti. a pretty girl
of Savannah Ga. is in Mysteries over
the loss of her hair, which, it is said,
was the most beautiful in the state.
While in a somnambulistic trance the
other night Miss Pacetti sheared away
her tresSeS. Her hair reached to her
feet and was of fine color and silky
texture and was the pride of herself
and her parents.
She retired in the evening in perfect
health. She has not been somnambu-
listic and she knows no reason why
she should have arisen in the night.
While asleep she walked to a table,
got her mothers scissors and cut off
her hair close n her head, leaving the
coil o1 ,,issors she
took, win ner and placed them on the
floor 10y the bedside.

morning sha nett = st-ansc ]tS,..s-

The Anti-Tnn Hat

1t is doubtful if there is a more
curious periodical in the world than
one which is now published in Lon
don and which is called the Anti-Top
Hat.
1t owes its existence to an old gen
tleman who for many years waged a
crusade against the high silk hat,
which has been worn by English gen
uemen for so many decades, for when
he died recently it was found that he
had bequeathed a fortune amounting
TO $4,000 a year to one of his neph-
ews on condition that he would carry
on the crusade against the obnoxious
hat, using as his weapon magazine,
which was to be published at least
once a month. The lucky nephew
promptly decided to comply with this
condition and as a result the maga-
zine has appeared.

The Butter Supply.

The supply of butter, as shown by
the reports from the various cold
storage houses, is larger at the pres
ent time than on the same date in any
previous year of which we have the
figures. Based on August's figures
there were in cold storage in all the
states of the Union for the years men
toned as follows: 1900, lob, 500
tubs; 1901, 1, ,132, $50 tubs; 1902, 1,297,-
37S tubs; 1903, 1.409. ass tubs. 1t will
be seen that we have over 100,0 900
tubs more in store this year than last.
In the list of states, Illinois leads with
over 425,0 900 tubs. New York - next
with over 100000 tubs, and Massa-
chusetts comes third with about 270,-
900 tubs. The next state of Importance
is Pennsylvania with about lis 900

Good Yields of Wheat.

From Farmers Review: Chresh.
Ing has been in progress on the Fort
Hays Branch Experiment Station, ano
some of the yields are very crafty

year 220 varieties of small grain, 16s

these were furnished by the Bureau oi
Plant Introduction of the Department
of Agriculture, and were known to bs
promising. The surplus seed from
these varieties is being sold to wheat
growers all over the western part ol
the state, so that the benefit of the
station will be felt Immediately.

The Cow That Went to Church.

About the funniest accident report
ed in this country in long time had
for its victim COW which recently

worship was that of the Plymouth
Brethren, and it is built under the
slope of hill. The COW was brows-

lost her balance. plunged down twenty
feet or so, Tit on the chapel root
and went straight through it.
Luckily there was no service going
on at the time. Somebody who had

Time of Seeding Wheat.

For four years past the Oklahoma
station has been experimenting with
the seeding of winter wheat to get
the best yields. The plan has been
to make one seeding in the middle
Of September, another in the middle
Of October, and a third in the middle
Of November. The experimenter says:
Red Russian wheat has been used
in this experiment and seeded on all
plots at the rate of IL bushels per
acre. The crop of 1902-O3 was of the
very finest quality. The yield and
quality of the grain from the Septem-
Der and October seedlings usually dlf-
fers but little. The September seed
ing usually affords more pasture and
during some seasons on rich soils suf-
fers if it is not pastured. The Octo-
Der seeding is less likely to be hurt
in the fall by such insects as grass
hoppers, chinch bugs, and Hessian
fly. The November seeding is usually
very uncertain and backward and the
crop is always more affected by rust
which often makes the quality very
poor"
The heavy rains of last fall kept the
ground so wet that the November
seeding of 1902 had to be omitted
Averages for the previous three years
give only 20.49 bushels from November
seeded ground. The average for four
years of the September seeded land
was 31.S2 bushels, and for the Octo-
Der seeded land 31.06 bushels. show
ing that good results may be obtained
by seeding from September 15 to Oc-
tober Is. This is a point of value for
farmers residing in Oklahoma and To-
calities where conditions are oimilar.

BOLT sLAYs IN MINE.
Lightning Follows Wire 800 Feet and
Discharges Blast.


1t was peculiar freak of lightning
which sent Martin Stevens, a miner
at Franklin Furnace. N j., to his
death. He was very much afraid of
lightning and said that he was glad
he worked underground where the
lightning could not get at him
1t was his custom whenever a storm
came up to run into the mine en-
trance. He did not think that the
lightning would chase him under
ground and siay him there, but that is
exactly what it did.
Stevens was engaged in making a
blast ready for a charge. when sud-
denly the lightning struck the electric
light wire outside and ran down the
wire 100 feet into the mine. where it
crossed with the discharge wire which
Stevens was using.
AS consequence the blast was dis
charged while Stevens was working
over it and he was blown to pieces

Washington Dairyinq.

The number of creamerieS in the
tate, of Washington in 1901 was 249,
N increase of 55 over the preceding
rear. The amount of butter manu-
actured was 1856, S2S pounds. an in
:rease over the preceding year OF
l.150, 141 pounds. Last year the num-
'er of creameries was 345, and the
manufactured butter product amount
I'd to 1888, PSI pounds, an increase
If 996,423 pounds over the preceding
,ear. The report of the State Dairy
Commission shows that the average
wages paid buttermakers is $66.66 per
month and the average wages paid
assistants was $40 per month. The
lverage value of each creamery plant
estimated at $500.
There are Al cheese factories in the
state and their product last year was
l,12S,735 pounds, an increase of 22,S02
pounds over the preceding year. The
lverage value of the cheese factories
s $1,000. The local creameries and
cheese factories are not by any means
supplying the state, even with the
aelp of the farm dairies. Millions of
pounds of butter and cheese have to be
imported to make up the deficiency.
part of the butter made in Wash
ington is shipped to Alaska, where
he price is very good During some
gears the amount shipped reaches
nearly million pounds.
The law relative to inspection is
poorly enforced on account of lack of
appropriation. Preservatives in milk
are used to some extent; but the users
when discovered are prosecuted and
fined. Formalin is the most common
preServatiye used as it can with diff-
Guilty be detected after the milk be-
gins to sour.
The average price of butter for ten
months during 1902 was four cents
per pound higher on the Seattle mar
ket than on the Elgin market. There
are 125, 900 milch cows in the state.
