Conditions in Kansas.
"In western Kansas, where but few
years ago the leading men of the state
conceded it advisable to disorganize
the counties and turn the country over
to the cattlemen for grazing, believing
it unwise even to allow people to go
there to attempt to raise crops. In
Graham County in the spring of 1900,
one of the counties located in this Sec
tion of Kansas, we opened up what Is
known as the Pomeroy Model Farm.
Here we have harvested four consecu-
tive crops of winter wheat, the small
est yield per acre being AZ IL bushels.
In Thomas County, the county still
west of Graham, one field of wheat
grown by this method yielded So bush
els per acre, in another 56 bushels per
acre.

DOG KILLED BIG WILDCAT.
New HAMPSHIRE Foxhound Encount-
cred a Fierce Opponent and
Came Out Victorious.

In a fight between a ~foXhOund and a
wildcat, the betting man would be in
clined to place his money on the latter,
and feel that the percentage in favor
of his winning would be great enough
to satisfy any reasonable mar looking
for a gamble.
Nevertheless, a good, husky wildcat
was put to the bad by a foxhound in
Charlestown, N. H., a few days ago,
which shows that it is no "cinch" to
bet on the wildcat. No one saw the
fight in which the wildcat, in this par
ticular instance, came out second best,
but the results were very much in evil
dence.
William Swan, proprietor of the
Eagle hotel, in CharlestOwn, recently
went out on the hills, east of the vii
Iage, to see if he could start a fox. His
dog Sport had not been running long
before he gave tongue, and, as Mr..
Swan thought, was in hot chase after a
fox.
In the course of Is or 20 minutes Mr..
Swan got sight of the dog and the ami
NAL he was chasing, but at too great a
distance to take a shot at 1t. 1t was
heal enough, however, for him to see
that it was no fox the dog was follow

WAR FROM TATTOO MARKS.
New Guinea Tribe Fought Because
Its Design Was Copied-Un-
written Copyright Law.

One special feature of many OF the
tribes inhabiting New Guinea is the un-
written law of copyright IN the de-
signs with which they tattoo their
bodies, says a writer in Stray Stories.
Each tribe has its W particular sys-
tenn of ornamenting the body, and
should a member of any other tribe
initiate the pattern, it is regarded as
quite a sufficient reason for a declara-
ton of wal between the two tribes.
A young warrior fell in love with a
girl of a neighboring tribe; the girl
favored his suit, but there was a rival
in her own tribe. This rival wished to
know why the girl did not look upon
him with equal favor, and why she
went outside the tribe for a husband.
The girl ~hesitated, and then replied
either as a subterfuge or as a state
ment of actual fact, but probably the
former-that the rival was not so we'll
ornamented as was the sutton from the
neighboring tribe
The home rival watched for the sue
cessful sutton, took note of the pattern,
and copied it. The other tribe resented
this infringement. and declared war, in
the course of which both suitors were
killed.

RUDENESS AT THE TABLE
It Takes Away the Pleasure Of Eat
ing and Indirectly Impairs
Healthful Digestion.

TO a nervous person vulgar manners
at the table are the most irritating Of
all things. 1t takes away the pleasure
Of eating, the relish for food, and in a
measure units the digestive organs for
their work. The fact is, it does q
| stomach absolute harm to be affected
in this way during the process of di-
g~estion, and persons habitually an
noyed by such things are sure to suffer
seriously from it. At no other place do
the habits of vulgar people appear SO
vulgar as at the table. Trif1ing things
that one would not notice in the parlor
or in ordinary conversation about the
house, become positively offensive
when INDUCED in at the table, and per-
! sons who have been shocked at the dis
gushing sight of a knife ladened with
man, or heard with a sickening of the
nerves an uncomfortable belch from a
man, must have felt the premonitory
symptoms of dyspepsia. 1t is needless
to protest that such cases are rare, n
to claim that it is not often the case
that men or women are so vulgar as to
pick their teeth with pins at the table,
or in other ways display their innate
vulgarity. But they do, and not all
well-bred people are so fortunate as to
escape enduring agony from such
causes. Women who set themselves up
to be teachers of morality, and who
| condemn coarse or rude talk in others,
are guilty oftentimes of manners at
the table that would really shock them
if they knew how they affected others.
The matter is one that demands consid-
Grafton from young and old, and If
there are persons who know of them
selves that they have rude habits at the
table, whether it be of n kind or
another, there should be no time lost
in correcting them. There are innum-
| cradle ways in which %vulgarity is ex-
| hibited, but the most commonly vulgar
forms are those mentioned. and the
greater number of people who are Of
tenders at all, are offenders in these
particularly mentioned ways.-N. Y.

How to Treat Your Hands.

The exigencies of domestic life make
many people treat their hands as if they
were insensitive things. The following
simple rules may bring such sufferers
solid comfort: The hands are to be
rubbed over at night with a mixture of
l~anolin, one part, and sweet almond oil,
three parts. Large gloves of kid or
leather are hen to be donned. For
washing the hands the best soap and
warm water must be used and it is pref
cradle to employ a lather. Rinsing
should always follow washing. Finally,
this lotion is to be freely rubbed over the
skin: Precipitated chalk, one ounce;
glycerin, one unc and a half; saturated
solution of gelatin, two drains; rose
water to make eight ounces. The bot
tie should be well shaken before its con
tents are poured out. AS the chalk has a
tendency to deposit round the nails. the
latter must be carefull wiped.-Chi-

KING CARRIED EGG BASKET.
How Denmark's Venerable Monarch
Once Upon a Time Helped a
Peasant Woman.

King Christian of Denmark, dean OF
the worlds monarchs, likes to move
about among his people without cere-
mony. Frequently during his daily
walks about the streets of Copenhagen
he has been known to hail a common cat
and drive to his castle.
His plain, quiet habits he has always
maintained from the time when he was
only an ordinary officer in the Danish
army and had mo thought of ever be-
coming a king.
One day King Christian sat on a bench
in the wood near Fredensborg, smoking
his cigar and whisking the fallen leaves
with his cane, when an old peasant wom-
an came along, carrying a basketful OF
eggs. She took a seat beside the king.
Looking at the w~hite-haired, plainly
clad old man, she said:
"You are from the neighborhood here,
l s'pose?"
Eyes, l am" replied the king.
"Then you can tell me if the castle Ia
far from here. l thought of selling my
eggs there, you know"

STORY OF TWO SWALLOWS.
They Built a Nest in a Gentleman's
Bedroom and Made Them
selves at Home.

One morning two swallows flew into
the bedroom of Mr.. Chapman. of Fro
cester court, Gloucester, and, after sew
eral other visits, at last built a nest
in the room. In due course four eggs
were laid. While the mother was sit

attend to the room, but whenever she
went near the nest the bird flew Off
If a stranger or any other member OF
the household entered the room she
flew away at once. Mr.. Chapman, how
ever, was especially favored, just as II

and might press them for rent. He

they never said a word. The eggs
having been Matched, Mr.. Chapman no.

same two youngsters, and the hen al
ways the other two. He tried to puZ-

the parents never mistook one pair for

able to fly, the whole family went out
for the day, returning at night. One
morning, however. they did not go out.

This kind of sleeve is o made all a
mass of tucks. At the wrist it is sid
plated into a wide band of goods,
which is covered with a cuff of lace,
which is finished with a big chou OF
ribbon, or a rosette of cloth.
Then there is the delightful old
sleeve which is shirred very full into
the arm hole. 1t falls limp and baggy
to the wrist, where it is trimmed with
no less than six %ruffles, each one
bordered with narrow lace. These ruff
fies reach almost to the elbow and the
effect is decidedly quaint.
The umbrella sleeve is lovely and Is
best described by it's name. If it could
be Gifted it would form a very nice
p~arasol cover. As it is it is gathered
into the arm hole and falls in many
points around the hand. Underneath
there is a lingerie cuff over which the
points make a very nice trimming.
There is the bag sleeve, which is
very much liked, and which a be en-
ployed upon many gowns. 1t is suit
able for all materials from sprigged
lawn to broadcloth. This sleeve has
it's fullest part underneath. 1t is gath
cred into a band of embroidery just
below the elbow. And, from this band
of embroidery, there falls a fiounce OF
the dress goods, arranged in such q
way as to cover the knuckles.
The cape sleeve is one that is also
worn. This is gathered into the arm
hole and falls mostly at the back.
There is an underneath sleeve of thin
ner stuff. This sleeve is designed for
piazza gowns.

milton different from that which he
used to shoot foxes.
He went to where he had left his
horse, drove to the hotel, got satisfac-
tory ammunition, and was half way
out to the hills again when he met the
dog, limping home.
Despite his lameness, Sport appar-
emily was quite willing to go back
again, and piloted Mr.. Swan to where
he, only a short time before, had had a
very strenuous and interesting time.
There was a dead wildcat in the
middle of a plot of ground 20 feet
square. All around the space were evil
dences that there had been something
doing" The light brush was broken,
and, scattered about Unfortunately,
was a lot of hair and numerous blood
stains. That was all. Sport could not
tell how things happened to be that
way, but he seemed to be pretty well
satisfied with his own part in the mix
up, and the way he had come out of it.
He had been bitten in the right fore
leg at the first joint, and his nose and
ears were scratched somewhat, but
there were no very serious injuries.
The wildcats back had been broken,
and one of it's shoulders was lacerated.
1t weighed 20 pounds, and certainly
looked as if it might have been able to
put up a fight.
Killing domestic cats is a mere pas
time for this dog Sport, and perhaps,
in his experience in this line, he picked
up a few points that were of use TO
him in his fight with the wild one.
Except a temporary lameness, he suf-
fered NO i'll effects from the encounter,
and Mr. Swan is afraid that he is like
ly to get a "swelled head" and worry
the pet cats in the neighborhood more
than ever.-Boston Globe.

SAT DOWN BESIDE THE KING.
this park, my good woman he an
swered.
The woman squinted at her ~neighbor.
81 s'pose you are a soldier" she said,
finally.
Eyes, l am" replied the king.
Il thought so. Then you might be a
sergeant"
Have been, ma'am," said the king,
smiling.
Il don't think you a be a ~captain?"
ooh, have been, have been"
Now the m looked at the king
very suspiciously.
You'll not tell me you are a %colonel?"
Have been" the king said, once
more.
Then the woman, folding her hands
and rolling up her eyes. sighed and said:
Dear me. dear me! l have seen such
things before. You have lost your posi-
ton, guess, and l know the reason. 1t
is always whisky. Don't taste it any
more. POOR man, I pity you!"
So she walked along toward the castle.
The king went another way, and as ths
woman stopped at the gate, being at a
loss where to go, the white-haired man
from the wood stood, smiling, before her
again.
"You are stronger than l. You can
take my basket" said the woman
The king did not object, 81 they both
stepped up the stair to the kitchen de-
partment. The cooks, of course, stared
as they saw the king with the egg bas-
ket. One of them, having more presence
of mind than his fellows, ran toward
him, Selling the basket.
"Your majesty" he stammered.
Eyes" the woman said, 1.-The eggs are
for the king. Is he at home? AS ] am
here now, l should like to see him."
Look at me, then" laughed King
Christian. 81 am the king"
The old woman drew back.
"You are the king" she said. But
| then you ought to wear a nice uniform,
so that your people could recognize you
Please don't put me in Jail. You can
take the eggs. l don't want any
money"
But King Christian laughed aloud, Or
dered the chef to pay her we'll for the
eggs, and left her, a very much amazed
| old woman.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

-HE sleeves not alone tell the vint-

1THE sleeves not alone tell the Vlnt-
age of the gown, but give the
distinctive touch in nine cases out
of ten as Dame Fashion rules in these
days. Sleeves just now differ enough
in style to suit the most c~hangeable
representative of the fair sex, the only
point of resemblance being a certain
degree of shoulder slope. This variety
is most welcome, for 1t enables a
woman to select a different type of
sleeves for almost every kind of gown
or waist. and at the same time secure
something new and suitable. In the
accompanying group, which we take
from Brooklyn Eagle, are seen five IA
vorite models, in which the principal
points of the seasons sleeves are noted.
First is the new inverted gigot
sleeve, shaped entirely to the wrist by
e of the seams, and minus n
added cuff. Another is a pretty exam
pie of the Stuart sleeve, edged either
with lace or hemstitched lawn frills. A
third shows a popular elbow sleeve,
decorated with rows OF narrow ribbon,
and edged with a handkerchief cuff.
The fourth design is Partisan and semi
loose. 1t is gagged to the armhole and
round the upper arm, falling loose till
1t reaches the wide gauntlet cuff. The
last style, suited to an evening frock
or tea gown, is formed of a deep pouf
edged with accordion plating.
Among other new sleeves can be
counted at least half a dozen that arc
distinctive in style. There is the
sleeve which is shaped like a crook
neck squash. 1t is long and tapering

such as annealing, melting, etc, is
manufactured by an Independent plant
situated outside the building, and so
arranged that it can be controlled in
the exhibit. These machines were de-
signed and built especially for this
purpose.
First of the series of devices COM
posing the plant is a furnace which
supplies a heat of 1000 degrees F. for
the melting of metal alloys. Here the
metal is cast into ingots and washed
in a dilute solution of Sulphuric acid
to free the surface from copper oxide.
The ingots are then run through the
rolling mill and reduced in thickness
from one-half an inch to eighty-five
thousandths of an inch. This mill is
operated by a so horse power motor.
The power is transmitted to the rolls
by means of helical gears and pinions.
After rolling the strips are heated
in the a%nnealing furnace to soften
them for the cutter. Then they are
cooled again by a water spray. For
merly in the annealing process oxida-
ton took place during this operation,
blackening the metal and necessitat-
ing a special cleaning operation.
When the strips are cut to their
proper length by the multiple shears,
they are BANKED by the cutting press
which uns at 210 strokes per minute.
The blanks are then upset in order
to give enough metal at the edge for
the border of the finished medallion.
This tends to harden the edge and
after another annealing in a rotary
furnace, cleaning, drying and polish
ing in a rotary tumbler and drying
machine, they are ready for stamping.
Uncle Sans imprint of value is
then put upon the blank coin with a
tons, this great force being required
to properly bring UP the design. Then
the bronze souvenir drops into the
custodian's hand a finished product.
1t is just so that dimes are made and
that five. ten and twenty-dollar gold
pieces are supplied for the treasury
at Washington.
Processes used in the making of
! paper money are altogether different,
for it is here that the printer and not
the machinist and founder serves a
usefulness. In another section of the
big Government building at the
worlds fair there is a fully-equipped
bank note printing plant.
In the Palace of Transportation may
be seen a full size section of the great
tunnel which runs from Jersey City
under the Hudson river, under New
York city at Thirty-fourth street, and
under the East river to Long Island, 3
distance of eight miles. 1t illustrates
the tremendous work and millions Of
dollars expended upon one Of the
greatest engineering works of modern
times. A great laboratory for testing
the power. efficiency and economy Of
locomotives is also in this building.
Locomotives will be under full steam
and full speed in this laboratory, the
greatest show of locomotive testing
ever conceived and costing a quarter
of a million dollars. 8h4s@8

Among outdoor shows, that are not to

may be mentioned the reproduction of
the City of Jerusalem and the forty
acres of Filipinos.
Among the most interesting of the
many features of the fair are the vari-
Gus government exhibits housed in the
Government building which is 500
feet long by $50 feet wide. Every
function of the government is eXem-
plified in this building. Among these
exhibits is a complete government
mint for the manufacture of coin, but
at ST. Louis Uncle Sam is making in
stead of coin gold souvenir medals,
but the process is the same as if the
product was legal tender. While Uncle
Sam has a monopoly ON the money
making business he guards the priv
ilege jealousy and does not risk the
precious dies, which put their inn
prints upon dimes, dollars and eagles,
to leave their place of keeping.
Besides a modern coming press,
from which drops a bright medal at
every click, is a screw press built in
1895 and used at that time to stamp
small coins. There is also a hammer
100 years old and a small pair of bal
ances formerly used in the Philadel-
phia mint. Comparing these with the
improvements made in the last 100
years reveals how much easier it is
now for Uncle Sam to replenish his
treasury than it was when he was
young in the business.

Cats Are Fond of Olives.

Olives" remarked a woman who is very
fond of the feline tribe. 'All mine do, and
I have six. Olives are usually an acquired
taste with the human race, but cats seem
to take to them naturally-at least mine
do. An olive will set anyone of them into
paroxysms of Joy. They will leave milk
or fish or any other article of food for it,
purring and rolling over it much as
though it might have the intoxicating eff
feet of catnip, before they finally eat it.

the houses of friends and have found
them equally appreciative, only they
prefer their olives cut up into pieces"
