Another Excursion to Florida Via Burl
ington Route.

An excellent opportunity for visit to
the Sunny Southland is afforded by the
personally conducted excursion leaving
Lincoln at 2l0 p. m. and Omaha 5:25 p.
m. January IA, 1904. Through standard
and tourist sleeping cars will run to
Jacksonville, Florida, via the Burlington
Route to st. Louis, thence through Nash
vile, Tenn, and Atlanta, Ga, over the
route made forever historic by the dram
attic incidents of the Civil War.
You travel in special carson fast
trains; do not have to worry about sleep
ing car reservations, baggage or the hun
dred other little details that detract 80
much from the perfect enjoyment of a
trip-the excursion manager attends to
all these matters. You escape the most
unpleasant and trying part of a winter in
the north, and reach Florida when every
thing is at its best, where fishing is ex-
cellent, the orange and lemon trees in
bearing, the bathing superb, and the eli
mate as soft and balmy as a Nebraska
day in May.
The itinerary provides for a twelve
hour stopover at st. Louis for a visit to
the Worlds Fair grounds, which are
practically in shape for the opening, with
the exception of the installation of ex-
hibits, and great many exhibits are in
place. The party will return individual
ly, and liberal stopover privileges are
given on your tickets. 1t is especially
urged that you give us early advice II
you desire to join this excursion, in or
der that proper reservation will be made
for you. For further details ask the
Burlington agent or write me.

what to Eat with the ringers.

A man who has forgotten to get mar
ried and Is consequently obliged to dine
about town in various restaurants says
that he can readily pick out persons
not accustomed to dining away from
home from their ineXperience in using
their fingers. At table d'hote places
especially things are served as courses
which are expected to be eaten with
the fingers. No idea as to what is
right can be obtained from the walters.
for it is the custom to put cutlery
enough for the entire meal on the table
with the soup.
Olives should be eaten with the fin
gers, though many of the uninitiated
try to split them with a fork. Aspara-
gus should be eaten with the fingers.
That is why the cook does not throw
sauce over the root ends. Green corn
should be eaten with the fingers and
not scraped from the cob with knife.
Spaghetti should be eaten with fork
and crust Of bread In Italian res
taurants man who cuts his spaghetti
into small pieces with a knife, as he
would salad, is looked upon as a rank

The Useful SunhOwer.

It is a common joke to call inferior
cigars cabbage leaves but, as a mat
ter Of fact, some very good weeds" are
made from the leaves of the sunf1ower.
These leaves can also be smoked in the
place of tobacco, forming quite a passa-
BILE substitute.
The stalks and leaves make excellent
food for various animals, while the for
mer can also be employed as fuel. Sun
flower cake is made from the seeds Of
this useful plant after the oil has been
extracted, this oil being very nearly
equal to olive oil and used in cooking.
The seeds not only serve as food for
cattle; they are mashed and kneaded
into bread by the poor peasants of GER
tain parts of Russia, and they find it
very palatable.
Potash is obtained from the ash Of
the stalks. The proportion is about
one-third of potash to the total ash
left after burning. A yellow dye is
made from the flower Of the plant. The
fiber can be worked into a silk mate
rial. ...

The home of the peanut, or ground
pea (also often called pindar and goo
ber), is believed to be Brazil, although
it very soon spread to Africa, China,
Japan and India and was recognized
as a valuable agricultural product in
these countries long before it was cul-
tivated on large scale in it's native
soil, which was not until the year 1870.
In the old world. however, it has al
ways been planted and harvested for
the sake Of the oil that it yields. This
is said to rival olive oil in quality and
to be used for the same purposes. The
nuts raised in the east are far richer
in oil than the American varieties.
The most popular of the American
peanuts is the virginia running vari-
ety. The pod and nut of the Virginia
variety are twice as large as those of
the North Carolina or African peanut.
The Spanish nuts, usually sold only
after being shelled and sailed, are still
smaller, but Of excellent flavor. Ten
nessee has two varieties, called the
white and the red, the kernels of the
latter having dark red skin

Thieves and Bibles.

Bibles are said by detectives to be
more rarely stolen than any other OBJ
1ects. This is not because Bibles are
worthless to a thief, but because few
criminals are sufficiently depraved to
steal the good book. A detective said
recently that in an important case
which he had followed up some years
ago a thief had entered the house,
stolen some valuable jewels and left
untouched Bible bound in white
chicken skin and studded with pearls
The detective caught the thief, and the
man who had been robbed, dealer in
curios, visited his despoiler in Jail, took
an interest in him because he had not
taken the Bible and eventually reform
ed him and got him good job.
81 knew" the thief said, that if I
took that Bible it would do me harm
and if l didn't take it it might do me
good l let it alone, and now, thank
heaven, I'm an honest and righteous
man."
The detective added that in another
case where a thief had stolen Bible
the book had been returned. Another
thing few thieves will take" he added,
lis a child's savings bank."-ChicagO

1t Is well known that under the ac-
ton Of gravity the water composing
such a thin shell as soap bubble tends
to run down on all sides, so that the
walls of the bubble grow thin at the
top and thicken toward the bottom.
After time the bubble becomes so
thin at the top that further flow of wa.
ter from this point can hardly take
place, and finally the bubble bursts
But before this last stage is reached a
degree of thinness in the walls of the
bubble is attained which causes it to
glow with brilliant iridescent colors.
Newton noticed that on top of the thin
bubble Illuminated by white sky light
q black spot is formed With increase
of thickness downward from this point
on all sides, red band next appears:
then blue one; then again red and
blue, red and blue, and so on, the col
ors showing more extremes of red and
purple in the higher orders This blue
band which first expands outward from
the black spot at the top and descends
slowly with the subsistence of the wa
ter Newton called the blue Of the first
order" and, although somewhat dingy,
he judged it to be of the same tint as
the blue of the sky.-T. ]. j. See in At

Dee's Magic Mirror.

There are several accounts of the
manner in which the famous gunpoW-
der plot Of 1905 was discovered, but
among the students of occult science
the belief is that its timely discovery
was made by DR.. John Dee by means
Of magic mirror. Proof of how gen
eral this belief was at one time is given
by the fact that in some editions of
the Common Prayer Book, published in
the eighteenth century. is to be found
an engrav wing inserted before the serv-
ice for Nov. 5 depicting circular mir
ror on a stand in which is the ref1ec-
ton of the houses of parliament by
night and a person carrying dark
lantern. On the left side are two men
in the costume of the reign of King
James looking into the mirror. On the
right side at the top the eye of Provi-
dence throws ray on to the mirror.

The Veil I'm PERSIA,

]. d. Rees, Il lecturer on Persia, says
that the wells worn by Persian ladies
are more of a privilege than punish
ment. Screened behind it woman may
walk wherever she pleases, and even
her own husband dare not question her
movements. Doubtless many Persian
ladies make the most of their epportu-
mites. The Persians, as a rule, do not
think it right to take wine, but as near
ly all their poetry is in praise of the
flowing bowl it will .be inferred that
they frequently do violence to their
conscience. Occasionally, however, they
are seized with remorse, whereupon
they destroy the Wine of their Arme-
MAN neighbors.

Hnq uisitive Birds.

OF the birds undoubtedly the blue
jays have the most inquisitiveness.
And they are the most noisy in express
Ing it, although crows will hold close
second place, if not fully the equal.
How the jays screeched and whistled
and called-a confusion of all the
sounds of jaydom-near my home!
More than dozen darted into a small
evergreen tree on the lawn People
came from several houses in the vicin-
ity, all curious to know what was the
matter with the birds. 1t seemed to
be want to know on both sides.
The jays had discovered a cat walking
meekly along by the fence in the low
shrubbery near and under the spruce
tree. There was no nest in the vicinity,
and, SO far as could be ascertained, the
cat had not attacked the jays. But
what a pandemonium of jay jargon
over one meek looking, quiet cat! The
jays outdid themselves and called out
nearly all the occupants of the many
houses on that street.-St Nicholas.

Pawning Wives and Dauehters.

They have curious way of utilizing
wives and daughters in some parts of
India. If man wants money he puts
these members of his establishment in
pawn, and his creditor detains them
until the debt is discharged. The GUS
tom varies in different localities. In
Mellore the Yercalls pledge their daugh-
ters to creditors who may either marty
them or give them away, and man
who has to go to Jail deposits his wife
with another family Of her tribe until
his return. In North Arcot unmarried
daughters are frequently mortgaged
and become the absolute property of
the holder until liquidation.
