Beautiful weather, the ground is in
good condition for work, and our peo-
pie are pushing the seeding as rapid
ly as possible.
Albert Martin last week went to
Canada expecting to secure a quarter
section of land under the waving
folds of the Union Jack. His efforts
in that direction last winter miscar-

success.
August Johnson, of Odebolt, Ia,
spent a couple of days last week in

and the injured member is doing
nicely.
In a general way we understand
that this column is expected to be used
only for local happenings and person
al mention, and we do not often ex-
coed the limit. But the recent death
of Hon. Galusha A. Grow, of Penn
~sylvania, brings prominently before
us a train of interesting memories,
and we can hardly resist the tempta-
ton to mention briefly what we con
slider the most important. II is more
than probable that the thousands of
the middle west who are enjoying the
far reaching benefits of the homestead
law, do not know to whom they are
Immediately indebted for that bene-
ficient measure. Hon. G.. A. Grow
was the man. He was a member of
Congress from the same district and
next following Hon. David Wilmot,
author of the historic Wilmot proviso.
We have a distinst recollection of
reading in the New York Tribune the
speech of Nh. Grow on the homestead
bill, and to-day can tell something of
what that speech contained. 1t was
during the troublous times before the
war and there was much sectional
bitterness in Congress. Soon after
the brutal Gaining of Senator Sumner
OF Massachusetts,, by Preston Brooks,
n Rhett, congressman from Caro-.
lima, as the papers at that time put it,
ran against MI. Grows fist and fell
back on the floor. Grow was elected
speaker of the house. He only lack
N vote of being elected president of
the United States. After being out
of politics for twenty years, he was
elected congressman at large from
Pennsylvania and served the state
faithfully. If any of the readers do
not know what is meant by congress-
mar at large they have the entire lib.
erty to ask the editor of the paper in
which this is published.

From Sunday Sermon bv Rev. H. Preston
Change seems to be written upon
everywhere. Every particle of matter
is undergoing a cemical change; slow
it may be, but sure.
Amid the changeableness Of every
thing it is refreshing to read the words
Of Scripture; Jesus Christ the same
yesterday, and today, and forever.
We limit God by our limitations.
He can reveal truth to us no faster
and no further than we are capable
Of receiving it, and only in such a
manner as we are capable Of under,
standing it.
One Of the blunders Of religious
teachers has been that they have
undertaken to define the undesirable.

Flame and Wire Gauze.

To Sir Humphrey Davy belongs the
credit of discovering that the fame Of
burning gas will not pass through wire
gauze having 7S4 meshes to the square
inch. This contention may be tested by
bringing flame in contact with SINH
lar gauZe, when it will be found that
meshes. This Is owing to the cooling
action of the wire, which tends to re-
duce the temperature of the flame be
low the Ignition point, the unburned gas
passing harmlessly through. OF course
If the gauze becomes oyerheated the
fame is able to get through.

THE ROMAN ANGARIA.
Ancient Postal System That Came
Down From the Persians.

The carefully organized postal sys-
TEN of today is of course more com
plete than the angaria of the ancient
Romans, yet their mail Travelled with
considerable speed.
The system Of angari, or couriers ON
horseback, was borrowed from the Per-
slams, who, according to Zenophon, had
established it under Cyrus the Elder.
The Roman adaptation of it was the
best system OF transmitting letters
among the ancient states.
All along the great Roman roads
houses were erected ut distance OF
five or six miles from each other At
each of these stations forty horses
We're constantly kept. and by the help
OF relays 1t was easy to travel a hun
dred miles IN n day.
These services were intended for the
state only, it being imperative to Sc
cure the rapid interchange Ct official
communications In the time of Julius
Caesar the system was so well or
ganized that of two letters the great
soldier wrote from Britain to Cicero at
Rome the one reached it's destination
in twcnty-six and the other in twep-
ty-eight days
Private citizens had to trust to the
services of slaves and it is not until
the end of the third century that we
hear OF the establishment OF n postal
system for private persons by the En-
peror Diocletian, but how long this
system remained history does not say.
The supply Of horses aud their main
tenance were compulsory. and only the
emperor could grant exemption from
either. The word angaria therefore came
to mean compulsory service in dis
patching the royal mail.--Scrap Book.
