spected members of this house by Bob
Clancy. and he refused to introduce them
The members can draw their own in
ference as to where these amendments
came from that you have introduced. Here
are some statistics prepared by the chief
clerk to Bob Clancy. He has left out the
value of the franchise entirely In an effort
to deceive the members OF this house. We
caught on 20 their game early and that
is why the railroads have not been Offering
any more figures"
Clarke then read a letter from Attorney
General Thompson. who said in his opinion
the bill would not reduce the assessment
in any town in the state, but, on the other
hand, would increase the assessment.
Former Chief Justice Sullivan also en-
dorsed the same sentiment. Clarke then
concluded by showing II the Hamer amend
ment carried Lodge Pole and few other
little towns would get more railroad prop
erty for, assessment, because Of their mile
age. than would Fremont and many OF the
other larger towns, And then he said:

Agriculture In Africa.

Excepting perhaps some Malayan
tribes the African negroes are said to
be the finest agriculturists of all the
natural races. The Bongos are said to
have a greater variety of garden plants
around their huts than are found in the
fields and gardens of German viii
lage. Irrigation is practiced. The An
golas, in the Kongo district, have prac-
teal irrigation. The Wachangu show
wonderful skill in irrigating their ter
raced hillsides by tunnels of water di-
verified from the main stream. They
have a clear mode OF irrigating equally
given surface. As the little canals
of water are always elevated above the
cultivated plants. they will tap them
at a convenient spot above the beds to
be watered and then turn the stream
into a rough conduit made of the hol
low stems of bananas cut in half, the
end of each stem overlapping the next.
Then as the water enters the last joint
it is freely turned right and left, dis
tributfng the vivifying stream in all

To Cut the Night In Two.

Professor Victor Hallopeau, member
of the Paris Academy Of Medicine.
says:
The true secret of long continued,
valuable brain work is to cut the night
in two. The scholar, the inventor. the
dnancier. the literary creator, should be
asleep every night by 10 O'Clock, to
wake again at, say, in the morning.
Three hours work, from 2 to 3, in the
absolute tranquility of the silent hours
should mean the revealing of new pow
ers, new possibilities, a wealth Of ideas
undreamed of under the prevailing sys-
tenn.
From 5 to or $50 sleep again. TAX
ing up then the days work, the brain
will be still saturated with the mental
fruits of the midnight vigil; there will
be no effort in putting into practice
or carrying further what was planned
or begun those few hours before.
The habit may be hard to acquire.
but mechanical means of waking at
first will induce the predisposition.-

Almost every one OF England's pop

for breaking this law.
Football is still under a ban in some
parts of the world. Two of the Swiss
cantons refuse to allow it. and in Tur-
key it is absolutely illegal. and those
who dare to play it are punished.

must be mentioned French decree of

The stale Bread of Hungary.

In Hungary they do not eat fresh
bread. Whether il is because the Hun
garians believe in hygiene more than
their American or European brothers
and sisters or not has never been told.
but the Magyar is partial to stale
bread, and the staler the better. His
''rozskenyer.'' or ordinary black bread.
as it is eaten by the very large ma
jority of the Magyar population. is
carefully laid away on a shelf and dug
out for consumption months and
months after ii has come out of the
great ovens. If the huge loaf, weigh
ing something like five pounds and for
which the Hungarian pays 8 or Z
kreutzer. equivalent to about 3 or 4
cents in American money, has careful
ly been hidden away for two years, it
IS considered all the better. The Hun
garian never thinks of where the
bread is to come from tomorrow. He
thinks of where it is to come from
next year, for he has at least years
supply on the shelves. The Hunga-
rian bakes her bread 365 days ahead OF
time. Her Wednesday baking is for
the Wednesday of a year to come; her
Thursday baking for the Thursday of
q year to come.

Too Cold For Oxercoat..

"You do not find any one wearing
overcoats in Alaska, even in the win
ter" said a man from that territory.
1.-THE principal thing to be careful
about is keeping the head, hands and
feet warm. In that part Of Alaska
where / have been the only land trans
portation is by dog sleds, and to fol-
low them one has to drop into a dog
trot beside the sled. An ordinary suit
is plenty thick enough to keep you
warm, and an overcoat is dangerous in
that temperature. Trotting alongside
q sled wearing an overcoat would
make you perspire. AID the bitter cold
would freeze the perspiration. The
men there wear fur cap that covers
every part Of the head and face except
the eyes. and there is only q little peep
hole for them. Wool lined mitts are
worn on the hands and moccasins with
wooden stockings on the feet'-Balti-
