Does the Mule Kick?

Col. George E. Jenkins of Fair
bury, quartermaster and commits
sary general OF the Nebraska Guard,
says:
After a lifetime of close associa-
ton with the mule, | have never
known him to kick a man nor have
| ever met a man who knew another
man of his own knowledge who had
been kicked by a mule.
This is a bold statement, but it
is true, nevertheless. You can ques-
ton soldiers OF the army every
where, and l confidently predict that
key will bear me ont in this. I
know l am uprooting a popular be-
lief, but | ask you to stop and think
and see if I am not doin~ Our mule
friend a deserved justice Horses
kicks are plenty; mule kicks are as
rare as promotions. Were you ever
riding at night on the praiIies, far
away from cOmrGdes and camp
weary, looking for the distant,
twinkling camp fires not to be
found? Did you ever at such a time
see your mule friend lift his tire
less head and blow his resonant
trumpet of discovery OF the sought
for haven? He has not seen It,
but he has smelt it, and in a moment
is trotting a Decline for the distant
picket line and forage ration. Were
you ever riding across a dreary, dry,
dusty country, thirsty, no water in
sight, and its whereabouts undis-
covered? Throw the bride loose on
the mules neck and give him his
way, he will take you to water as
unerringly as carrier pigeon wings
its way to its roost."

Pearls a Product of Disease.

A private letter from Paris to one

New York admits that doubt no
longer exists regarding the accu-
racy of Professor Dubois discovery
that the pearl in the oyster is the
product of disease caused by a
parasite. DR.. Dubois has separated
the bacillus, has propagated it, and
oysters inoculated have become pearl
bearers. 1t will surprise most peo-
pie to learn that large company has
been in existence for several months
to exploit the theory of Dr.. Dubois.
Many of the richest men in Wall
street have stock in the corporation.

Christianity in Japan.

The whole number Of members OF
the Japanese dietis $40, and of them
seven are Christian, including one
Baptist, two Congregationalists and
four Methodists. The Christian rep
resentation is thus in minority
Of to "a, but it is influential beyond
that proportion. In the population
at large there is, roughly speaking,
only one Christian in 10000 little
leaven in a great mass, but its effect
is visible and recognized even by
those who are not nominally Chris
tians. In old Japan Shintoism,
Buddhism and COnfucianism al en-
couraged absolutism and feudalism,
while constitutional government,
representative institutions and local
self-government are fruits of Chris
tan civilization. It is favored by
a good many who make no open
profession of it, and is particularly
valued as an instrument of social
and moral reforms. 1t has a long
road to travel in that country before
it satisfies the desires OF Its propa-
gandiSts, but the toad IS open, and
there is no opposition worth speak
ing OF, but rather a spirit of recep-
tivity and encouragement.

LARGEST Diamond.

Unfortunately the largest dia-
mond in the world is not of the
crystalline sort used as a gem.
If it were its value would be fab
ulous. for it is seventeen times
larger than the famous Victoria
diamond, the largest OF modern
finds, which was sold for $780,
900. Its value depends upon the
use to which it can be put when
broken up, for it is of the amor
phous kind. known technically as
carbon.

Mr.. Davis and His Brother Tom.

There is one habit that Henry C.
Davis, the octogenarian candidate

with which he will not let even the
distraction of a campaign interfere.
He has a brother named Tom to
whom he has all his life made it a
practice to write letter daily. They
have never had a disagreement. No
matter how many engagements he
has with politicians, Mr., Davis goes
to his room early, even while in
New York, to write his daily letter
to Tom.

His surroundings crept into
his dreams and he fancied he lay

wind played havoc with the
bony hand. Skulls, ribs and
femurs-in fact a shower of
bones flew before the wind and
covered the sleeper.
The scene changed to the IN
terror of this deserted cabin. A
spectral old man with beard of
ice began to squat and blow at
the pile of bones. They flew
across the room to an open trap
door and ratified out of sight be-

Harvey finds himself sitting
erect with teeth chattering froms
cold and fright. No trap door
was in sight, but SO overcome

TREND OF THE TIMES.

No feature of the industrial
life of the northwest is more
marked than the movement to-
ward the establishment of manu-
featuring industries. Within the
past two years hundreds Of small
enterprises have made their be-
ginning in the towns and villages
of the northwest. Hardly is
there a four corners in land
that has not set up a creamery,
a wooden mill, a brick and tile
factory, brewery, a -four mill
or some other manufacturing
industry.
Eastern capital has been look.
ing this way for investment and
a good deal has been printed of
late in the financial journals of
the east in regard to the manu-
featuring possibilities Of the
northwest. It is pointed out
that here the raw material for
the manufacture of .innumerable
articles is to be found close at
hand, that water power abounds
and the facilities for transporta-
tion are uneq ualled.
We have everything that goes
to make up . great manufactur-
ing Country unless it be capital
and capital hardly waits to be in
vited. What every town and city
in this section needs is an asso-
citation of it's business men to in
vestigate its possibilities in
manufacturing and to make them
known to the outside world. The
n northwestis bound to become a
great manufacturing section;
why not help it on the way?

Wolves Make Night a Terror.

Peter Larkin was down from
Turtle River yesterday and made
visit to the court house to
gather information concerning
wolf bounties. Several gentle
men at Turtle River plan to pay
some attention to hunting wolves
during the remainder Of the win
ter. They are particularly plen-
tiful in that section and it is not
safe to be in the woods unarmed
after nightfall. Night before last
a pack of them treed a woodsman
less than mile from the town
and people living out in the coun-
try complain thatthey are a con
slant menace to stock.
