try. So 1t has come that the parent
stream has been raised above the
Minnesota, one of its own affiuents.
The waters of the Arkansas flow in
the sand beneath the surface, filtering
far and wide to the limits of the val
ley. The Minnesota rises and flows
within the valley, and, although it has
other sources, its main supply comes
from the Arkansas. For whenever
Ninnescah, 80 miles south, rises few
hours later. the water coming up from
the depths pure and clear as a flow
from springs. The influence of these
freshets is felt even to the source of
the smaller stream in Pratt county,
whence it flows through Kingman,
Sedgwick and Sumner, disgorging
near Oxford into the parent stream.
Scientific men often doubt this story,
but investigation invariably proves it
to be true. Another evidence is the
even flow of the smaller stream. In
its course, it receives only local af-
fluents, none of them perennial, but
the year round it is full of water, and,
except when affected by local storms,
always clear and pure.
So by its continued explorations of
the valley of this strange and mys-
FERROUS stream in its long course from
the Rocky mountains, the Santa Fee
only adds to the proof that the Ar
kansas river although it's waters are
visible on top only during freshets,
flows steadily through its sands be-
low far beyond the confines of its
narrow channel, even to the limestone
divides" which bound the valley
north and south. In the lower coun-
try south of the Kansas line its wa
tiers come to the surface again, but
in its upper valley the flow is in the
soil, which it nourishes and makes
one of the great garden spots of the
world.
There no doubt are other, although
smaller, streams of like character in
the west and southwest, but until
some great corporation, as the Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe, or other
form of organized capital, takes hold
and employs men and money to find
out, their possibilities of agriculture
will not be known. For there is nc
excellence without great labor, and g
little money thrown in.

a Healthy Skin.

There is a great difference between
a healthy skin, glowing and flushing
with life and emotion, and a made-up
complexion of rouge and paints as
there is a pronounced difference be-
tween a real rose and a rose and
cambria one. If you will observe, you
will see that your skin is reflection
of the state of your health. When you
have rested and feel well the cheeks
are glowing, the eyes bright and the
spirits soaring. Late hours and illness
show at once by bringing to the face
sallow and drawn expression. A sim
pie line of treatment is to obey the
rules of hygiene, to battle the face
every night with warm water, COM
plexion brush and some pure soap.
rinsing, drying and rubbing in creme
marquise or orange flower skin food.
Upon arising in the morning, dash
cold water over the face and dust the
skin with a good powder. A cream
should always be used after ones
countenance has been exposed to wind
or sun.

BAPTIZED ON A HILLTOP.
Strange Religious Ceremony in an
Old Druid Haunt.

A remarkable christening has re-
of Derbyshire, England, Marlborough

county. said to have been a haunt of
The Druids, and apparently used both
for worship and as place of burial
Some years ago a number of human
skulls, which had been compactly
buried there in some distant century
were unearthed at the summit of this
lofty ridge, which commands a view
over six counties, terminating in the
peak of Snowdon, the latter being
easily visible on clear day. The hill
bristles with fantastic dolomite crags,
some of which were, it is supposed,
shaped by the Druids for ceremonial
purposes.
big block of limestone has been
carved into a capacious chair; an
other rock, with fiat top, appears

an adjacent monolith, in which semi
circular bowl has been scooped out,
looks like a rude font. Il was with
water from this ancient rock bowl
that the child-the daughter of a
farmer in the Cistrict-was lately
christened. The little girl. three
months old, was carried up to this
wild, bleak spot, accompanied by
numerous relatives, including, of
course, the necessary godfather and
sodnlother, and there, with the wind
bowling among the crags, baptism
was administered by lay reader.
There is no record of any similar
rite having been celebrated on Har-
borough Hill, and the conditions of
this picturesque baptism appear to be
quite unique.

recently made to a party of French
of his achievements than has hither-
TO appeared. In this he affirmed that
he has been able to prepare fluid
named "tulose,'' differing radically
from Dr. Koch's tuberculin, by u.s.
ing which he had been able to check
the infection of animals by malignant
tuberculosis bacilili. He frankly adj
mftted, however, that he had not yet
succeeded in developing serum sim
liar to diphtheritic antitoxin, and that
he considered the future discovery of
such a serum extremely doubtful"
Yet it was not impossible that by
further experiment the 'tulose" could
be made to develop curative proper.
ties Meanwhile, says the New York
Post, clinical experiments have shown
that injections of this new fluid are
of value in the treatment of children
suffering from tuberculosis or scrof-
Nous troubles. Finally, Prof. Won
Behring announced that, until further
experiments have shown for just what
uses .'tulose" is best adapted, it will
be dispensed only to few select hos
pitfalls and clinics, which will pledge
ance with certain conditions pre-
scribed by him. If this calm state
ment disappoints those who have al
ready seen the white scourge disap-
pearing before DR.. Won Behring's
magic, it is yet proof That great
scientific advance has really taken
place.

A good deal of nonsense is being
talked and written by opponents of
spelling reform about the danger that
words will lose their genealogical
identity; that their derivation will be
lost or obscured, and all that. But as
a matter of fact, says the Indianapo-
lis News, only the scholars are con-
scious of the derivation of words in
any large degree, and no matter how
you change the spelling they will re-
main just as conscious of the source
and origin of words as they are now
Indeed, some philologists assure us
that derivation would more easily be
traced and followed in the simpIified
or phonetic spelling than in the pres
ent illogical and wildly varying forms
and symbols. There is no more
doubt. to take single example, of the
derivation of filosofy than of philos.

The National Druggist says that not
a few of the coffee substitutes which
are advertised as preferable to coffee
contain more or less coffee. This may
be tested by shaking a teaspoonful in
"a bottle half full of water. The bot
tie must be thoroughly shaken, so as
to wet every particle of the sample.
when nearly all of the non coffee i'm
gradients will sink to the bottom
and the coffee float on the top. The
reason for this is that coffee contains
a large amount of oil which buoys up
the particles. Peas, beans. wheat.

bottom.
