NOW TO ARRANGE CUT GLASS.
Mahogany 10 the Best Setting That
Can Be Given to II.

Cut glass will not look much better
1ehan those pretty good limitations that
are sold these days If 1t Is put on the
Uideboard or table without any thought
of making 1t show off to best advan.
tage. In fact, most people do not
know that the surroundings have as
much to do with the beauty Of cut
glass as they have with most other
things in the world.
II should never be placed among
Mght-colored surroundings, particular
ly cream or yellow. In such case
there is noticeable lack of the rides,
cence and brilliant sparkle that belong
to cut glass. A cabinet may be full
Of beautiful pieces, but If they are
backed by mirror the whole effect is
O mere tumble Of crystal.
Mahogany Is the real setting. Its
richness and dullness of tone are best
suited to bring out the beauty in the
glass. Then there should be plenty Of
room. There is no handsomer effect
than bowl or some cut-glass piece
standing on mahogany shelf with no
other piece near it. A big display sim.
ply robs every piece of its beauty, and
II the housewife has not enough room
or too many pieces let her put some
away and change from time to time.

Those Wise Legislators.

A bill Of only few words was in
troduced in the house Of representa-
tives last winter. 1t was purely a
local bill and no one paid much at,
tention to 1t. 1t has just been dis
covered that this little bill cuts $12.,
620 from the revenues of the state.
Six counties will not pay any state
taxes this year, as the full state taxes
from the counties was RENTED by
the bill when it was passed by the
legislature. The following are the
counties and the amounts Of taxes re-
mitted IN each case Wichita county.
$1,410; Grant, s3,eS6; Stanton, $2,766;
Haskell $3.50; Greeley, $4,000, and
Scott, 81 ,665. No one about the stat
house knows why this was done anc
the loss of this amount Of money
from the state revenues is causing
considerable trouble. 1t must be
made from some other source or some
bills will have to go unpaid for want
of funds.

Manufacturers Must Answer.

State Labor Commissioner w. A. L.
Johnson is going to wait few more
days and If he does not get the proper
statistical reports from Kansas manu-
facttrers as provided by law he will
place the matter In the hands OF At
torney General Jackson. The general
statutes give the labor commissioner
the authority to secure statistical in
formation from manufacturers and
provide a penalty for failure to fur.
nish the desired information In
some cases the manufacturers have
complied with Johnson's request, but
in a majority of cases they have ig'
nored his letters. The penalty for the
refusal to give information is a fine
of not less than $25 nor more than
500 or by Imprisonment In the county
Jail not exceeding 80 days, or both
fine and Imprisonment. No manufac
turer has ever been given the penalty
for refusing to comply with the re
quests of the labor commissioner, but
Johnson says he intends to see that
the law is obeyed hereafter

The Rabbit Market.

II there is market for rabbits IN
this state 1t Is in Mcpherson. Every
year about this time the rabbits come
into Mcpherson by the thousands. 1t
is no unusual sight to see a farmer
drive into Mcpherson with a big
wagon, tightly boarded on both sides
and filled to overlooking with rabbits
killed in, hunt In New York and
other eastern states the meat from a
Kansas rabbit is considered a deli
cacy. The big markets look to Nc
Pherson for supplies, and get them
by the carload, not because there are
more rabbits in Mcpherson county
than in adjoining counties, but that
that city has simply become an es'
tablished market for rabbits. 1t is
nothing unusual for farmer to sell
more than 1000 of the Dummies in a
day, and at fair prices At this time,
until the rabbit season closes, the
catching Of the little animals becomes
a regular industry,

Latest Kansas Events.
Find Profit in Sheep.

The farmers OF Brown county are
becoming greatly interested In the
raising of sheep. A few years ago
but few farmers had flocks and the
general impression prevailed that
sheep were hard on pastures and
land. The farmers have had their eyes
opened. The sheep raisers assert that
their sheep will bring larger cash re-
turns than grain and do not require
as much care. They are the easiest
to raise and care for of any stock.
The sheep will eat up all the waste IN
the fields. They are largely fed on
stubble and corn stalks. They will
clear a field slick and clean. Besides
the soil improves after sheep have
been allowed the run on It. In two
seasons sheep will be such benefit
to the soil that the yielding power
will be increased 10 to Is bushels OF
corn to the acre or to 10 bushels OF
wheat. Sheep will eat pasture close
to the ground but the next season the
pasture wifi be greatly improved. The
sheep raiser counts on doubling his
money in one years time.

Money to Restore Old Capital.

Sam Woolard's scheme for restor-
ing the old state capitol building near
Fort Riley to its original proportions
is likely to be carried out. Since it
was announced that contributions will
be received for this purpose Secre-
tary George Martin. of the State His
torical society, has received total of
$22. Sam Woolard telephoned from
Wichita to the effect that he had col
lected something like 500. 1t is es-
timated that $1,000 VIII put the old
building in shape so that 1t will with
stand the ravages OF the elements.
Woolard is having circulars printed
for distribution all over the state and
expects in this way to collect enough
to complete the $1,000 fund.

Jackson's Little Surprise.

In the hearing at Topeka before q
commissioner appointed by the SUI
preme court in the custer suit against
the international Harvester company,
Attorney General Jackson sprung a
surprise by introducing as evidence
the bill of complaint, the answer and
the final judgment in the case against
the company In Texas. In the case
the company confessed judgment and
paid a fine and costs amounting to
about $4,000 The attorney general
alleged that the cases are similar, the
laws similar and similar judgment
should be rendered The international
Harvester company is the only one
against which an custer suit Is pend
ing which failed to answer the interro.
gatories filed with the court by the
attorney general.

The beauty Of Indian women is one
Of the charms Of Mexico. In the cap
ital, where the Indian has degen-
Grated through poverty and mental
service 1t is less to be remarked than
in the smaller towns and In the coun-
try. But the beautiful faces one takes
in memory away from Mexico are
those of Indian women. Fine eyes
are universal, and, what one hardly ex-
poets, the features, according to eau
casian standards broad brows,
straight noses, well-formed mouths
and chins full but not gross or heavy.
The expression is very generally intel
ligent, and often one is struck, both in
Indian men and women, with the no.
bility and refinement of the coun-
tenance. One frequently sees types
among the poems that seem to belong
to some highly civilized ancient caste
AN Egyptian priest of royal blood, a
Roman centurian, an Aztec emperor.
The women are gently lovely where
they are beautiful, and the men at
their best in carriage, in manners and
In countenance are strikingly like the
very advanced product Of civilization.

Union Pacific Short Of Water.

The water question is becoming a
serious matter with the Union Pacific
Railroad company in the western part
Of the state. There are several wat.
ering places along the line west Of
Ellis, but the only well that is fur.
nishing anything like the required
amount is at Oakley. The well at Buf.
falo Park, which has always been de-
pended upon to a great extent, has
been abandoned entirely, and extreme
ly roor service is furnished at Wa
kceney and Collyer. The company is
carrying water in steel tank cars to
tanks along the line, and in some In

rectly from the water cars into the
