An Oner Declined.

Persons who are envious Of those
whom they are pleased TO call the for
tmate rarely count the cost Of success.
ApropoS OF this, an amusing story is
told of General Lefevre, duke of Dant-
Zic. one day the general had Il visit
from a friend of his youth, who com
mented, not without feelings of envy,
on the dignities and riches which the
duke who was born in a peasants cot
tage. had acquired in many battles and
by his faithful services.
"Oh, | am prepared" was the re-
joinder, Ito hand them over to you at
the very price | paid for them. We
will proceed together into my garden.
There you shall walk up and down Cor
the space of half an hour while | com
mand company of infantry to fire
on you. There were more in my case,
but you shall have the benefit Of alter
ed circumstances. If you are not shot
in thirty minutes all that Is mine shall

The catamaran. made OF "A Followed
log, shares the popularity of the Mas
SoOa boat with the fishermen of Ma
dras The rickcty looking contrivance
can weather any storm in the skillful
native hands, and letters are sent by
this means TO ships in the otling when
other communication with the shore is
impossible The catamaran requires
steering with a paddle through the rag
ing surf. ana, though the boatman may
be frequently dashed out of the rude
skin 10y the violence of the waves, he
leaps into his frail bark again with the
efficiency Of long practice, and the cata-
maran, flying over the crest of the
great billows which threaten instant
destruction, accomplishes the perilous
voyage in safety.

RAILWAY wheels.

Did you ever notice that the wheels
of locomotive engine are beveled?
The reason for this is that in rounding
curve the outer rail is, of course, IL
little longer than the inner one. The
difference is very little, but it would
be enough to make an engine skid"
unless it were reckOned for. In the
beveled wheel the higher part, with its
greater circumference. is forced against
the outer rail by the very tendency
of the engine to drive straight ahead.
and with tine other wheel the smaller
circumference rests on the rail, thus
overcoming the difference in the lengths
of the lines.

Some Reasons Why Secret
Ballot is Not Preferable
{ Kentucky Register. }

Although the time is near at nand
for the people of Kentucky 10 deter
miEe whether they are TO continue the
secret ballot system, or return to the
old custom of viva voce' voting.
little has been said uDon that subject
by tie press OF the state. The last
legislature Submitted TO the vote of
the people an amendment II the con-
sttution allowing a revival of the old
fashioned method of voting, which
measure will be balloted upon at the
regular election in November. So
little discussion has been INDUCED IN
regarding TINS important event, that
II is no; generally k2own, and we
desire to take this opportunity Of
calling 1t to the attention If our
readers.
There is no doubt now since the
Australian system mas been given a
fair trial that the other is preferable
and besr- In the first place it will
break up lying and hypocntical Gus
tom people nave of promising TO vote
for person when they have no more
idea of really doing so than the man
in the moon.
Secondly by breaking up the habit
alluded to In the paragraph above, 1t
will save.many candidate mint of
money, as he will know then before
he goes into a race what chance he
has, and the coin he spends will then
do him some good, when its results
nowadays aIe very doubtful.
Then, plainly speaking, it Will help
to transform a lot OF scalawags into
men CT honor, for when they promise
TO vote for a man there Is no way of
getting around it, us he VIII know
exactly how you vote.
All honest candidates and honest
people in general ought to get out
and use their influence in it's behalf.
1t would help powerfully to purify
politics.

Alois Phillip and his band were prac-

tain." With an accompaniment of
thunderbolts the dramatic power of the
music was worked up, and Phillips
baton waved violently. As the climax
approached bricks began TO fall of the
walls of the building, and the struc-
ture swayed, and the timbers groaned.
The echoes in the mountain grew louder
and seemed TO be coming in the wake
Of an avalanche. The snare and bass
drums worked overtime. Now and then
there would be crash aud more bricks
would fall of and rattle over the roof.
The storm in the mountain grew worse
Trees were uprooted, and great boulders
were forced from their mornings and
fell, and the sound reverberated with
a mighty roar through the canon. Such
a pace could not last long, and "The

succession Of crashes, and then an.

IRRIGATION ANNIVERSARY.
water to Be Turned on $4,000 Acres Of
Land at Hasen, New.

On june 1Tth next, the third anniver-
sary of the passage by congress Of the
irrigation law, the water will be turned
on 10000 acres of land near the new
town Of Hazen, New, from which the
TruckeeCa Carson system on which the
government has already spent 81 800.
600, and contemplates total expendi-
ture Of $9,OOO,OOO. BY 1908 the addi.
tional amount Of land thus irrigated
and opened to settlers will be 1900, 900
acres. Irrigation in that region is no
experiment, for IL has been applied by
private enterprise TO 10000 acres
around Reno. The products raised are
fruit, wheat, oats, potatoes, sugar
beets and alfalfa. Originally the waters
Of the Truckee and Carson, fed by
large mountain lakes at high altitude,
ran TO the sagebrush levels of sands be-
low, and vanished in "sinks" Now
the outflow is conducted in cement
lined canals into storage basins, from
whence the water is TO be supplied TO
total area Of 700 square miles. No
one can get more than 80 acres of irri.
gated land for homestead, and the
purchaser is required to stay on the
land and improve IT, There are some
fees TO pay, and IL will take year TO
make the farm bitches and raise a crop.
The proportionate cost Of irrigation is
paid back by the settler in ten annual
installments, without interest. IL Is
estimated that the payment 20 the gov.
ernment in ten years viii be $20s0, and
that the farm, judging from the value
Of other irrigated land, viii be worth
$4,000. Three.fourths Of the land in this
enterprise belongs TO the government,
and is open TO homesteaders on the
terms given. IL the settler, at the end
Of ten years, can show that he has re-
claimed at least half Of his entry for
agricultural purposes, the land and
water supply are his property porpetu-
ally.
