improvements Tor Normal.

Principal w. S. Picken of the West
ern State Normal of this city attended
meeting of the board of regents OF
the State Normal at Topeka last week
and made another big ''haul'' for the
home school: grand piano costing
not less than $500 and 300 opera chairs
both for the new auditorium, which
will be the second floor of the south
wing now completed. This auditor
ium and chapel will have a gallery and
stage, and as soon as the interior is
finished it will be occupied and the
gymnasium will no longer be used for
an auditorium.
1t will be remembered that the last
time Prof. Picken attended a board
meeting he secured an appropriation
for the large wings which are now
being added to the main building. The
Hays school is very fortunate in having
at its head man who has other inter-
ests outside of drawing his salary and
who is working hard to upbuild the
local institution.

Another Fire Scare.

The people of Hays were startled
about 1890 Monday night by the fire
alarm. A large crowd of men and boys
turned out in short order and the hose
carts were run to the scene of fire,
which proved to be in the cellar of
John Franks store on north Main ST.
Aside. from burning a hole in the floor
about Is feet square, no damage was
done. The fire was discovered by the
telephone central and had it not been
discovered as quickly as it it was the
store and possibly the entire Ryan
block would have been consumed.
Mr.. Frank says there was a small
hole is the floor near the stove and he
thinks the fire was caused either Dy
someone dropping a cigar stub or ash
as from pipe down the hole or else
by live coal falling out of the stove.
Whatever it was it fell in an empty
banana crate and set fire to pile of
rubbish.

What is a Clearing House7

In country towns, where there is
more than one bank, you will see the
cashier or teller from one of the banks
going to the other taking the checks
of that other bank back to get the
cash, or pay the balance due such other
bank, at the close of each days busi-
ness. In large cities, an exchange ex-
plains, a more elaborate method is
pursued, because this bank-to-bank
visit each day would be too slow and
troublesome. So that a member of
each bank goes to a place called a
clearing house, and each takes with
h,.a all the checks on the other banks
taken in by his bank, and pays them
to an officer who gives each bank credit
for all it has sent, and charges it with
all the checks that have been brought
against it. If the balance is against
the bank by reason Of having more
checks presented against it by all the
other banks, it pays the balance, and
thus equalizes the accounts; or vice
versa. The banks admitted to this
clearing house form legal organiza-
ton. None of the banks are respon-
sible for these checks, except as they
have deposited with this clearing house
so much of collateral, consisting of
notes due the bank, and if these notes
are not paid the scrip would not be
worth anything. Ellsworth Messenger.

Another argument in favor of home
print was furnished recently when a
subscriber to one of our exchanges
stopped his subscription because of
the stand taken in regard to the Hay
wood trial last SIMMER. The editor,
in fact, had taken no stand one way or
the other. The article had appeared
in the patent pages and the chances
are that the editor never knew it was
there. In the home print paper the
editor knows what enters into his pa

Fence Posts Made Durable.

Fence posts OF many kinds of cheaE
woods which ordinarily would soon de,
cay if set in the ground can be made
to last for twenty years by a simple
| treatment with creosote. Most of the
! so-called inferior" woods are well
adapted to this treatment, and es-
pecially cottonwood, aspen, willow
sycamore, low-grade pines, and some
of the gums. When properly treated,
these woods outlast untreated cedar
and oak, which are becoming too scarce
and too much in demand for other uses
to allow of their meeting the demand
for fence posts.
Impregnation with creosote has been
greatly cheapened by the introduction
of the 'topen TANK which can be in
stalled at cost of from $50 to $45, or
much less if an old boiler is used. A
tank with bottom II square feet in
area will suffice for treating 40 or SO g.
inch posts day, or double this number
when two runs per day can be made.
The absorption of creosote per post is
about as follows: Eucalyptus, one-tenth
gallon; willow, two-tenth gallons; sas-
safras, ash, hickory, red oak, water
oak, elm andsmaple, four tenths gallon;
Douglas fir, quaking aspen and black
walnut, six-tenths gallon; sycamore,
cottonwood and lodgepele pine, seven
tenths gallon. The price of creosote
is about 10 cents per gallon in the East
and Middle West, 10 cents per gallon
on the Pacific coast and q cents per
gallon in the Rocky Mountain States.
The cost of treating a post will there
fore vary from to Is cents. Proper
ly treated, it should give service for
at least twenty years.
Experiments OF the Forest Service
show that with preservative trea tment
the durability of lodgepole pine in Ida
no is increased sixteen years. The
cost of creosote is there relatively
high, yet by treating posts there is a
saving, with interest at 6 per cent,
of cents per post yearly. More i'm
portant than the saving, however, is
the fact that through preservative treat |
ment other woods are fitted to take the
place of cedar. of which the supply is
rapidly becoming exhausted A detail
ed description of experiments in pre-
serving fence posts, together with |
practical suggestions for treating them
on commercial scale, are contained
In Circular III of the Forest Service. |
This publication can be obtained upon
application to the Forester at Wash |
