 She-Why didn't you tell rae so be- fore? I'll teach the impudent puppy a lesson.
 Walking boldly across the steeet, Jones says to the man:
 Look hear. Snipe, I am very sorry I've not got the money to pay you for that last suit. but you ought not to follow me up and dun me when I'm try ing to capture that girl. She has lots of money, and if succeed you will not only get your money, but also an order for a wedding outfit"
 Snipe goes off satisfied.
 Returning to the young lady, Jones says:

such employe killed in the line of duty. or who dies within one year an aeei- dent in which he has suffered disabling injury. supposing that he is disabled, but is lucky enough not to dei. he re- ceives full pay for twelve months after the date of the injury.
 Few railroad mail clerks last more than twenty years in the service. their work being done under such high ten sion that, even if they escape death or disabling injury. tey are soon worn out. At all times they are expected to defend the mails with their lives, att tacks upon postal cars by robbers be- ing not infreguent.
 If the clerk refuses to open the door of his car in response to a demand by highwaymen, he must be prepared for an immediate fusilade of bullets, fol- lowed perhaps by an explosion of dy- namite. Of course, it is always the registered mail that the robbers want particularly.
 Mail cars to-day are very different vehicles from what they were fifteen years ago-much more commodious, and Duiit to resist collisions as far as pos sible. They are not proof against dy- namite, but in many intances they have been able to withstand determined att tacks by highwaymen. For the trans portion of mail the government pays so much per 100 pounds, plus from $25 to $50 day per car. according to the length of the vehicle. The appropria- tion for this purpose for the current year is $5.1O4,960.
 Trains consisting of mail cars only are now run between important points. The New York and Chicago fast mail comprises ordinarily six postal cars, and carries twenty clerks. It is, in fact. large postoffice on wheels, trav- cling at fifty miles an hour.-New York Herald. ..

EVOLUTION OF THE POTATO.


 Today Germany fairly rivals Ireland with It's potato crop and outdoes most other countries. Fully an eighth of the arable land of the empire is planted to this nutritious vegetable. Half the large yield is used directly as human food: a considerable other portion is given over to fattening stock. There still remains an enormous surplus after that, however, and it is the success with which the Germans have met in turning this surplus into manufactured products that is most remarkable.
 Among these manufactured products are starch, glucose, potato flour, dex- trin and starch-sugar, each of which appears prominent on the list of Ger man exports, all toegther contributing large sums every year to the profits of German manufacturers and exporters. But the alcohol which the Germans make from the potato is the most val- uable and wonderful product of all. # This as light producer fairly rivals the electric current, it is said. The apparatus for it's practical use includes lamps, chandeliers, street and corner I llSnIS, III WHICH dlCOilOl NdpOI 10 DuIiCu like gas in a hooded flame, covered by a! Welsbach mantle. So used, potato all cofol is described as burning with an iilcandescent flame equaling the electric light in brilliancy. Indeed, we are off, .cially told now by our consul general at Berlin that potato alcohol is competing with gas and electricity with increasing sllccess5 every wear,
 Tn the problems of heat and power production, too, the lowly potato has been brought into use, and the alcohol from it has been applied to warming and cooking stoves, to steam locono- piles, to thresling, grinding, fuel-cut- ting, and other agricultural and me- chanical appliances. The advantages said to be found in its use are imme- diate readiness for operation; dispens- ing with coal, water and firemen; free dom from odors and danger of fire and geater%economy of maintenance. Pos sibly there is some exaggeration in these claims. But figures given plainly show that the potato, as cultivated in Germany, has produced real competi- tor for at least benzine and petroleum for motor purposes.-Providence Jour- nal, .

TREATMENT OF ALKALI LAND.

Ono OF tho greatest problems on tho
Pacific coast and the inter-mountain
states and some parts OF Kansas and
Nebraska is how to get rid OF the alkali
in otherwise good land, says the WAL
laces' Farmer. Under irrigation, where
there 10 any alkali in the water, the
allai constantly increases until it fails
to produce good crops. For example,
there u Q large amount OF land in Utah
which formerly grew splendid alfalfa
but which is now useless because OF the
seepaee water from irrigation bitches on
Q higher level In time this will be
moro or less Of problem in every part
OF the irrigation territory. The alkali
IL soluble in water and when the water
IL run on to the land and escapes from
it only by evaporation the alkali 10 left.
Farmers in tho humid sections do not
think much about allali and yet it viii
be found all over the prairie country
wherever there are ponds or swales OF
otherwise undrsined land. It appears
in tho spring OF the year, when evapora.
tion is rapid, like . thin coating oi
ashes on the black soil. 1t IL this slkali
which makes so-called gumbo land @
tough that causes il to form exceedingly
hard clods, and crack open to such
depths in dry time.
The department OF agriculture 10 con
Quoting . very interesting experiment. on
some 10000 to $1,000 acres lying betweer
Salt Lake City and the lake which viii
grow nothing at sll because it has thre>
per cent alkali in it. The method em
ployed is simply tile drainage with irri
cation. The irrigation water dissolvel
the alkali and the tile drains carry it oh
in this soluble state. In one year they
have taken out twenty tons OF alkal
per acre, or about one per cent. tn,
rest will be taken out this year, and ther
the land will produce crops.
Those OF our readers who are farming
under irrigation and using water thai
contains any appreciable percentage q
alkali must make up their minds that il
time, drains to carry water ont Of ths
land will be quite - important % irri
