viii Close Land OFFICES.

Washington. April 20.-Commission-
er Richards of the general land office
will be obliged. under the law. to dis
continue several land Offices in Colo
RADIO at the commencement of the com
ing fiscal year. on account of lack OF
business transacted by them.
1t is provided by the statute that
whenever the qua9tity of public land
remaining in any land district Is re-
duced to less than 100000 acres. or
whenever the cost of collecting reve-
nue. from sales of public lands in dis
trict is one-third of the whole amount
of revenue, it may be lawful to discon-
tinue such land district and annex 1t to
an adjoining district.
Five land districts in Colorado come
within these restrictions. They are:
Hugo. where the receipts for the last
nine months were $4,S76. and the ex-
penses $3.249.
Lamar, receipts s3.O25. expenses ST.
S12.
Leadville. receipts 1854. expenses
2,S09.
Akron, receipts $4,000. expenses 81
$50.
Del Norte, receipts s6,5S2. expenses
s2.4O3.
Commissioner Richards has written
letters to the registers and receivers
of these offices calling for a report as
to what portion of their districts the
existing business comes from and
whether they see any prospects for an
increase. He also asks that these Off
cials recommend, in the event the dis
trict should be attached to some other
district. with what district the combin-
alton should be made.

Prisoner the One to Suffer.

Georgia, the attorneyship of which
the president has offered Representa-

and told him that he wished post
ponement of case in which he was
to appear for the defendant. The
case was one of simple moonshining,
but the lawyer contended that Il
would take several hours for the
argument.
"I can understand all you will have
to say in an hours time said the
Judge.
"I am satisfied | shall take fully
eight hours in my argument contend
ed the lawyer.
Very well; have your way; hut
it will take the prisoner about three
years to tell why he employed you"

Food Value of Eggs.

Eggs are very nourishing food
and represent two important ele-
ments. fats and proteids, in an easily
assimilated form. A single egg
weighs about one and one-half
ounces, of which one ounce is white.
or pure albumin. and one-half ounce
yolk The nutritive value of the yolk
is greater than that of the white,
though its bulk and weight are small
er. It's solid constituents are about
one half of its fat. Fresh eggs. prop
erly prepared. are readily digestible.
The best mode of preparation Is
whipped raw, or. cooked for twenty
or thirty minutes at temperature OF
about 1902 (curdled). The yolks are
more easily digested when boiled
hard. and the whites are also easily
digested when hard boiled. providing
care is used to reduce the coagulated
white to minute particles which may
readily be dissolved by the gastric
juice.
A single egg is equal in value to a
dozen oysters.

A Substitute for Leather.

An English inventor has devised a
perfect substitute for leather which
can be used for boots, shoes and for
every other purpose for which leather
is employed. The new tissue is called
wolff. 1t is being extensively used
in England, having been adopted by
the London Shoe Company especially
for walking shoes on account OF Its
coolness and its lightness. Wolff Is
more durable than leather and is
much more waterproof. while at the
same time more porous. which makes
it nonconductor. and to large de-
gree obviates the necessity for wear
ing rubbers which are needed by one
whose feet are clad with leather only
when the slush and mud is so deep
that the feet are half buried at every
step.

Low.PRIcED POTATOES.
No Profit on Large Shipments From
Greeley.

Denver, April 2O.-A Republican spe-
cial from Greeley says: Potatoes have
moved more freely the last ten days
than at any time during the last six
months. The market price is Is cents
per hundred for Pearls and 20 cents
per hundred for Rurals.
Forty carloads Is the daily output
from the Greeley district. They go as
far west as Seattle, to Texas on the
south and east to Kansas, Missouri and
Oklahoma.
At least 1000 carloads remain in the
district. Farmers are slicing the po-
tatoes and feeding to cattle and sheep.
A. w. Bronnell. who is fattening 1000
sheep for market, claims they are su-
perior to beet pulp for fattening food.
The starch factory uses 500 sacks of
potatoes a day.
The seed which will be planted for
renewal comes from the Divide district.
but two-thirds of the seed planted will
be of last years crop from this sec
ton.
The market price of 15 cents a sack
is barely paying the farmer for the last
sorting, sacking and hauling. This
year he must count the cost of seed
and Of labor in production a total lost
1t is said that on every carload shipped
out the producer loses $50 this year.
Farmers could dump their stored po.
tatoes on their fields for fertilizing pur-
poses were it not that the weather is
now too warm for potatoes to freeze.
which they must do before they rot
sufficiently to make a good fertilizer.
The acreage planted to potatoes the
coming season will be cut down twen-
ty-five per cent. from what it has been
in the last twenty-five years. The area
will be planted to sugar beets.

LeadviIIe smeIter Strike.

Leadville. Colo, April 19.-Armed
deputies in charge of Sheriff O'Maho-
ney last night succeeded in maintain
ing quiet at the Arkansas Valley plant
of the American Smelling and Refining
Company here, where forty weighers
and wheelers went on strik yester-
day for shorter hours and succeeded
in keeping nearly 500 employees from
working The fires of six of the eight
furnaces have been drawn and the
other two are banked. The mines in
the district have been ordered to cease
shipping to the smelter until further
notice. No disorder is looked for and
a settlement is expected within few
days.
The wheelers struck when the smelt-
er management put into effect the re-
cent eight-hour law. which does not
include them. They demanded the
same hours as the other workmen.
which was refused by the manage

The Pellets That XIII.

William Gillette is an able angler
and almost as good a shot.
He and prominent New York
physician went to New England one
autumn to shoot over the preserves
of a very rich Bostonian. The actor
had good luck with the birds. but
the doctor was unable to make one
decent shot.
The keeper was Scot, and the
poor craftsmanship of the physician
angered him. AT every miss he would
snort and grunt.

Mon. ye're doin purify
Indeed, | am doing poorly" cried

miss. What's the matter with the

BATTLES OF THE SQUIRRELS.
Both Red and Gray Species Are Pug
nacjousIy Inclined.


A very quarrelsome disposition has
the chickaree. or American red SOUR
rel, and there are continual fights be
tween 1t and its cousin the gray sQuir-
rel. These fights seldom end In a de-
cided victory for either side. The
males of both species are incorrigible
fighters. 1t is no unusual sight to see
n couple of red or gray squirrels come
from some lofty climb so
locked in each others embrace as to
appear almost like one animal.
Though the shock of striking the
ground separates them 1t is for mo-
ment only. They Immediately clinch
again and continue TO roll over and
over. fighting fiercely until one breaks
away. only to be followed by the
other, who keeps up a running fight
for some distance, until he feels GER
tain that he has so punished the con
aucred one that he will not dare re-
turn.
Red squirrels, by their greater agll-
ity and quickness, can worst gray
squirrel every time in a running fight,
but let them once come to a clinch
and the superior size and weight OF
the gray squirrel are bound to tell.

SIGNALING WITH THE DRUM.

Wireless Tejeoraphy

The natives of the West Coast OF
Africa have little need for wireless
telegraph. according to story told
by missionary at the rooms OF the
Presbyterian Foreign Board. Talking
or the susceptibility OF the native
African to rythm he told this Incl
dent: The African always calls the
people together by means of a drum
The drum varies in size, but is always
made by following out section of 4
log. The drum not only tells the peo-
pie of the meeting, but its purpose as
well. The news which may be thus
sent is astonishing. On one occasion
missionary was in the Palaver
House at Efulen, at some distance
from his home. A rainstorm came up
and he had no umbrella. A drummer.

latter appeared with an umbrella. The
natives have no alphabet and an um-
brella is not usually In the require
ments of palaver. How. then, did
the drummer make himself under
stood? During native wars the gov
ernment has to prohibit the use OF
drums as the natives are able with
them to send news from one village to
another.

Very Dissipated.

There are a good many persons
who might be said to be dissipated
and "all broke up" according to the
Japanese use of the word, illustrated
in the following anecdote:
They are telling in Boston OF two
or three Japanese students of rank
who have been in the habit OF dining
each Sunday at the residence of one
of the prominent citizens OF the Hub.
On a recent Sunday one was absent.
and when the host asked why. one of
the guests said solemnly: oh. he
cannot come. He very. very dissi-
pated!' The host thought it best not
to make any further inquiry at the
time. but after the meal he ventured
to ask the same young man in pri-
vate. You say Mr.. MIN Shi is not
well?'
mo, he not very well-he very dis
sipated.'
He hasn't been drinking?'

There are many popular but un-
founded prejudices against the dietic
use of fruits. 1t is generally sup
posed, for example, that fruits are
conducive to bowel disorders, and
that they are especially prone to pro-
duce indigestion If taken at the last
meal. The truth is the very opposite
of these notions. An exclusive diet
OF fruit is one of the best-known rem
edies for chronic bowel disorders.
During the late war. large numbers
of the soldiers suffering from chronic
dysentery were in several instances
rapidly cured when abundantly sup
piled with ripe peaches. Fruit juice
may be advantageously used in both
acute and chronic bowel disorders.
Care must be taken, however, to
avoid fruit juices which contain a
large amount of cane sugar. Juices
OF sweet fruits should be employed,
or mixture of sour and sweet fruit
juices, or acid fruit juice may be
sweetened with malt honey or mel
tose, natural sweet produced from
cereals. Raisins, figs, prunes. sweet
apples and pears may be mixed with
sour fruits.
Indigestion sometimes results from
the use of fruits in combination with
variety of other food substances;
but fruits taken alone constitute the
best possible menu for the last meal
of the day. The combination of fruit,
sugar, cream. bread, butter. cake and
pie may well produce bad dreams and
bad taste in the mouth in the morn
ing. The use of fresh or stewed fruit
alone without any addition whatever
will produce no disturbance, and will
leave no unpleasant effects behind to
be regretted in the morning. Very
acid fruits sometimes disagree with
persons who have an excess of acid
and those who are suffering from
chronic inflan nation of the stomach;
but with these exceptions, there is al
most no case in which fruit may not
be advantageously used.
The notion that acid fruits must be
avoided by rheumatics is another er-
ror which is based on inaccurate OBJ
servations. The fact is. rheumatics
are greatly benefited by the use of
fruit At the same time they should
abstain from the use of flesh foods OF
all sorts, beef tea and animal broths.
and all meat preparations. also tea
and coffee. as well as alcohol and to-
bacco. 1t is. of course. possible for
one to take an excess of acids, as one
may take an excess of starch or any
other food substances. Vegetable
acids differ from mineral acids in the
fact that they do not accumulate in
the body, but are assimilated or util-
lied in the same way as sugar and al
lied substances.

In Spite Of the Academy.

While that body of sirupy literary
sentimentalists known as the French
academy refused to gild the declin-

tion to the coveted hall of immortals.
this rarely gifted writer will survive
in worldwide appreciation long after
the pulling poets and itching love anal
ysts who rejected him have been for
gotten. Jules Verne was great beyond
the line posts of single country. The
author of Twenty Thousand Leagues
Under the Sea- Around the World
in Eighty Days" and half hundred
other delightful books may not meas
ure up to the standard of emasculated
drivel required by the academy, but it
must have been a satisfaction to the

had placed upon his brow the laurel
