Sub iect Of Bill.

Washington, Jan. 27.-Senator Mel
son has reported from the committee
on public lands bill to open for set
| tlement under the homestead laws the
unused lands which were set apart for
reservoirs at the headwaters of the
Mississippi river in Minnesota. The
exact amount OF these lands is not
known, but it is estimated to be a
considerable tract, being part of the
larger tract which was set apart fol
the overflow in the construction of the
reservoirs.

Care CO Silver Tableware.

The best way to keep silver
knives, forks or spoons from mark
ing with the other pieces is to put
them in flannel case made as fol
lows: Take a strip of canton flannel
three-quarters of yard long and
wide enough so that the pieces may
be entirely concealed. Fold it dou-
bic the short way, then stitch the
folded pieces at intervals of two
inches, to form a series of pockets
to contain the pieces. The edges
of the pockets should come two or
three inches above the ends OF the
pieces. When the pockets are filled,
the case may be rolled up and tied
together with tape.

Birds Are Hard Workers.

Birds can and do work far hard
er than human beings. a pair of
house martins when nesting will
feed their young once in twenty sec
onds-that is, each bird, male and
female, makes ninety journeys to
and fro in an hour, or about 1000
a day. 1t must be remembered that
on each journey the bird has the
added work of catching the worm.
Even so tiny a bird as the wren
has been counted I, axe 40 trips
to and from its nest within 43O
minutes, and the prey it carried
home consisted of larger, heavier
and harder to find insects than were
caught by the sparrows. Among
them were twenty good sized cater
pillars, ten grasshoppcrs, seven spi-
ders, eleven worms and more than
one fat chrysaliS.

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
Telling Fortunes by the Leaves In the
Teacup.

Ever so many people would like
to have their fortunes told by the
appearance Of the leaves in their
teacups, but very few people know
how to tell the fortunes.
The way to do is this: After you
have drawn your tea, leaving just
few drops with the leaves, first
make a wish and repeat it three
times in your mind, then twirl the
cup around so as to shake up the
leaves as much as possible. Do this
three times, from left to right, then
turn the cup upside down and, set
ting it in the saucer, twirl it again
three times, left to right; then, look
inc in, read the fortune:
I have n fortune rhyme to use:
zone leaf alone. alone you'll be;
Two together, the priest you'll see;
Three in groups your wish you'll gain;
Four, a letter from loving swain;
Five. good news the letter II bring;
Six in 4 row, Il song you'll sing;
Seven together, great fortune waits
For yOu-so say the teacup fatcs.
Tea leaves short and tea leaves tall
Bring YOU company great and small;
Tea leaves many and dotted fine
Are of bad luck the surest sign;
Tea leaves few and clean the rim,
Your cup with JOY o'erilows the brim.'

Copyright by II. G. James,
In spite of a rapidly. declining
market and the fact it is claimed
in many quarters oil cannot
proftably be produced at the
present price paid for it, the
monthly oil report for April, here
with presented, shows an increase
both in the number of wells COM
pleted and new production. Dur
ing April there were 3o9 COM
pletions in the two sections OF the
field, with an estimated product
ion of 1925 barrels. This rep
resents Al more wells drilled and
1874 barrels new production more
day than in March. The in
crease was largely in the Chero-
exc Nation, where there was ex
ceptional activity in the Chelsea
Alluwe shallow sand territory.
An UNUSUAL amount Of work was
also completed in the shallow ter
ritory of Kansas at Paola. The
wells in neither of these districts
are large, but the sand is regular
and quite sure, while the holes
are inexpensive to drill.
The average production OF Kan
sas wells completed in April de-
creased from 1873 barrels in March
to 17.9 barrels, while the average
of Territory wells decreased from
500 barrels to 52.5 barrels
While the number of compile
tons is far short of January, the
production is the largest yet re-
corded in any one month, Here
tofore, there has been more drill
ing in the Usage than the Cher
okee on account of the restrict
ions of the government in the
Cherokee, but the approval of
many leases and the requirements
of immediate operations has caus-
ed the Cherokee to far Outstrip
the Osago recently in new work.
The cause of the slump in the
market is assigned to the enor-
nous production which has been
so suddenly developed. Many
who can do so are disseminating
operations, but there are a con-
siderable number who are COM
PEELED to drill in order to hold
their grants or leases from the
government.
Thus it will be seen the govern
ment is placed in rather a peculiar
position. While it is carrying on
an investigation as to why the
price of oil has been slaughtered
it is compelling the immediate de-
velopment of rich territory which

BRIEF REVIEW OF
KANSAS OIL FIELD
increased Activity In April Over March anc
More Oil Is Produced

cannot help but further ravish
the market. Representations are
to be made to the secretary of the
interior department to this effect,
with petition that this provision
of Cherokee leases be removed,
or, in other words, that the time
for development work to begin
be extended.
The most active Operations the
past month in Kansas were IN the
Paola district until a few months
ago was without pipe line accom-
modations and, until about April
20, all of the oil connected to the
pipe line was taken. These wells
were pumped night and day, and
as result every leaseholder pref
ty nearly rushed the drill so that
there were SO completed in April.
Paola producers have been mott
fed that hereafter only two tanks
of oil day will be run, and as a
result new work threatens a de-
cided dropping off. Montgomery
county, which until recently COM
pleted more wells every month
than all Of the southern fields, in
April only had 80 compilations to
her credit. Chautauqua county,
which a few months ago was drill
ing 70 and 81 wells month, only
completed "a in April. But could
all the oil be disposed Of in less
than 60 days there would be 500
strings of tools at work in the field.
There are thousands of acres to
be drilled, hundreds of men idle
and scores Of companies itching
for the word to 60 at it.
In the Cleveland (Okla.) dis
trict theEe were more compilations
in April than in March, but May
1, breaks nearly even with April
l, in the amount of new work. 1t
is very quiet in that town. Prob
ably 10000 to 100000 barrels of
is backed up in private storage,
and very little is being run. All
efforts to find an outlet to the
town pool have failed and the
summer there threatnes to be dull.
1t is estimated there are 100000
barrels of oil held in private stor-
age in the entire field. A Wayside
producer is making arrangements
to dispose of the heavy fuel oil
of that district in Wichita, and a
carload Of oil for experimental
purposes will be shipped there
this week. There is a general
feeling that with these outlet
avenues in operation next fall will
see conditions very much i'm
proved in the field.

The Enamel Treatment For Kitchen
Sinks and Pumps.

Sinks and Pumps.
Perhaps one of the handiest of
al helps that woman has in her
kitchen is a sink. But there are
sinks and sinks. The old fashioned
box sink is done away with in most
homes, and the iron ones with legs
for support are the cleanest and
most sanitary. Now for the treat
ment, which is for those with a
pump.and also faucet. Three ar
ticles are needed-a good paint
brush, can of white paint and can OF
white enamel. If old paint is on it
can be removed with boiling water
in which two tablespoonfuls OF
washing soda have been dissolved to
two quarts of water. When dry,
give coat of white paint and when
perfectly dry give another, then
when hard give one coat of white
enamel, inside and out, and also the
pump. Care must be taken that
none of the paint gets into the
waste pipe. If left to harden for a
day or two hot water can be thrown
in the sink without the enamel
cracking. 1t can be kept in per
feet condition, with ordinary use,
by giving coat of enamel twice a
year.-Farm Progress.

Many farmers have earth floors
in their cellars. After the spring

be plcntifully sprinklcd with a
strong solution of copperas, which
makes a good and cheap disinfect-

farthest, darkest corners. Use it
freely in the drain and in the water
