men at this place. A beautiful
climate, and altho very warm it
appeared to make one feel as if he
was in another world. This city
is modern IN every respect altho
still retaining many Of its old and
quaint customs.
You may see electric cars on
the streets and at the same time
you can see elephants performing
their work as if nothing had &C.
Cured to arouse their curiosity.
Camels may be seen also, and the
snake charmer, with his cobra, is
almost everywhere. Then again
we see the Indian Juggler on every
corner, who performs his tricks in
a truly marvellous manner. A few
steps away may be seen small boys
performing acrobatic feats of which
many of our star performers might
be proud. In fact everywhere you
look there are new features to at
tract your attention. There are
many places Of interest to the wis.,
itor, namely, the Hindoo Temples,
the government barracks, in which
are to be seen the native or Indian
soldiers, the government buildings,
and the large plant of Sir Thomas
Upton. Through the courtesy of
the manager we we're allowed to
60 through this vast establishment,
and before leaving each one was
treated to cup of the most deli
cious tea we ever drank. At the
entrance of the buildings are sew
eral tea plants in their native state.
Most of the labor is performed by
Chinese coolies. On the streets
may be purchased most any kind
of sweetmeats, cocoanut products,
fruits, of which bananas, oranges
and figs are in the majority, and
many kinds of beautiful stones.
But if not acquainted with the
marvellous slight-of-hand work that
these people are capable of per.
forming, one had better leave them
alone. One of our officers pur-
chased beautiful gem for $40,
and while it was being wrapped
up in tissue paper it underwent
such change that it was entirely
worthless, this in full sight of every
one. About five minutes later
we returned to where we had pur-
chased it, but the salesman had
vanished, or at least it was claimed
he had, altho the same man stood
in the same place engaged in the
same business, yet owing to the
close resemblance of all the natives
we could not be certain of our
man, and we're out $40 by the
trick. One thing more I wish to
say about Colombo: as a drink,
water is unknown. Spiced wines
and other kinds of delightful bev-
erages are to be had for merely
song, a cent of our money being
ample recompense for a large glass
of delicious wine.
We left Colombo on the 24th
passing through the Indian Ocean
and Strait of Malacca, arriving at
Singapore on the Both. Here we
were to have enjoyed another two
days, but owing to the bubonlc
plague that was then holding sway
at that place, we we're not permit
ted to stop any longer than was
necessary, consequently we left
within an hour.
Sailing through the China Sea
with very little ballast, our trip
was very disagreeable altho land
was always in sight. Seven days
later, Jan. 9Th. 1900, we passed
Corregidor Island and entered the
harbor at Manila about two hours

For the first time in the history OF

runaway accident in that city Septem-

small single buggy when the animal
ran away, dashing into telephone pole

the boy 20 feet into the air and he
alighted in a sitting q sition on a
bracket on the pole placed for the con-

What Education Does.

The average educated man gets a
salary Of $1,000 year. He works for
ty years, making a total Of $4,000 in
a lifetime. The average day laborer
gets $3.50 a day 300 days in a year,
or $3.50 in a year. In forty years he
earns $4,000. The difference, or $22,-
600, equals the value Of an education.

than $40 to the pupil.

Mirrors In the Middle Ages.

In the middle ages, when steel and
silver mirrors were almost exclusively
used, a method Of backing glass for the
same purpose with thin sheets of metal
was known. Small convex mirrors Of
glass were made In Germany before
the sixteenth century and were In de
mand until comparatively modern
times. They were produced by blow
ing small glass globes, into which
while they were hot was passed through
a pipe a mixture of tin, antimony and
rosin. When the globe was coated
inside it was allowed to cool and was
afterward cut into convex lenses, which
formed small but we'll defined Images.

ALFALFA GREAT SUCCESS.
Becoming important Crop in okla
homa.

Each year sees a few more acres of
alfalfa raised in Oklahoma Almost
without exception the increase is made
chiefly by those who have sowed it
before aud raised a good crop, and by
their immediate neighbors. Alfalfa
is a success in this country Many
farmers have been hesitating for some
time about beginning to raise this
crop. not certain as to whether It would
pay, but the evidences have been ac-
cumulating so strongly now as to make
future hesitation unwise.
Several farmers within a few miles
Of Enid are planning 20 put in as
high as forty acres Of alfalfa this
season. One OF these harvested two
crops Of alfalfa hay and goody
amount of seed from the third crop.
The seed sells from 81 to $40 per
bushel and the seed crop pays much
more than the ordinary grain crop,
without considering the hay.
Alfalfa hay baled keeps green. A
bale opened in midwnter is found al
most as green inside as the day It is
cut Cattle, horses and hogs are very
fond Of it and WI eat it in prefer.

measured in tonnage is very large.

ed early. we'll narrowed and put in the
finest condition possible If the roots
appear to be thin and promise a light
crop. disc narrowing will remedy this
defect. In case discing is the secret of
raising this crop. The d SC cuts the
roots and causes them to spread and
multiply the shoots THIS disoing can
be done at any time Of the year and
should always be resorted TO when the
crop looks IN n or unpromislng While
IL would seem that discing would kill
the roots. the opposite is the result
and raisers of alfalfa have found it the
best method Of lnsuring a good crop.
Kansas farmers learned years ago
the value Of alfalfa both as hay and
seed. Many rich agriculturlsts in that
state attribute their success so the
cultivation of this crop Oklahoma has
been behind somewhat on this line but
present Indications point to large
acres OF alfalfa in the future here.
