A Paris Negro Star.

Paris has advanced another step in
furnishing to the theatrical profession
a negro, who is said by experts to he

seasons ago, has been engaged and is
now probably doing turn in The
Shoo-Fly Regiment" which gave q
performance in this city on last Friday

Thomas is dancer from the old

many who have seen him to be "a real
diamond in the rough" but the,lack I
an advantage has kept him in Paris
While he might have been earning
big salary on the road. In his rep

AS soon as Cole q johnson, the coli

at good salary, and he left with the
company for Frankfort.

Fake siOry.

Some one has started the story
that while reception was being
held in the new K. of P. hall, the
floor gave down four inches and
that the Knights had to have
props put in below to keep the
floor from falling. We do not
know who started the story or
for what purpose it was started,
but we do know it is entirely
false. The crowd that day was
as large as any that win in all
probability ever be in the hall,
and the floor did not give a
particle; no props we're put in,
as there was no need for any,
The floor is perfectly safe to hold
up all the people that can be
crowded into the hall, and then
some.
Why people will start such
tales wedo not know, as it could
benefit no one to tell such a tale.

How Crops Came Here.

The chinch bug brought flax
to Missouri. The grasshopper
brought the castor bean. Jap
anese clover butted in and alfalfa
came as a matter Of study. This
is the conclusion which George
B. Ellis, secretary of the state
board of agriculture, says tradi-
ton iustifes. When the chinch
bug played havoc in the wheat Of
Missouri the farmers looked
about for some crop which would
resist the incursions Of this
pestilent insect. They found
that for some reason the chinch
hing did not or eesla aet H@eeap
on flax. Hence they planted fax
and for a time southwest Mis-
souri, had many fields of flax. 1t
is a difficult plant to grow, how
ever, hard and costly to harvest
and the profits in it are not large.
Hence when the chinch bug dis
appeared the cultivation of fax
began to diminish. Now it is
not largely appreciate in the
agriculture output Of Missouri.
When, in the early '70's the
grasshopper played havoc with
western fields, Missouri was
INVADED also. The castor bean
was found by the farmer to be
the only green thing which the
grasshopper did not eat, hence
field upon field of castor
beans we're planted a n d

section Of Missouri, more than
anywhere else in the state, fields

! bean is employed in the manu-
facture of an oil, of which most
Missouri boys and girls are fa-
miliar. japanese clover came
from the southwark and year by
year it is pushing its way farth-
er up the Ozarks and down their
northern slope. 1t grows with
little or no care. Alfalfa, the
most profitable hay crop, is to
be found in nearly every section
of Missouri. There ten years
ago little or none was known.

The Nations Bread.

That bread is justly entitled to
be called the ''staf Of life" is
fully borne out by investigations
of the United States Department
of Commerce and Labor. This
department made an investi-
cation to determine the amount
spent for food by a normal"
laborer's family. The data
obtained from the II, 1856 families
whose expenses were studied
showed the average amount
spent for food by a family con-
sisting of husband, wife and five
children to be $329.19 per year.
1t is interesting to note how the
so-called normal family of the
average laborer, which seems
rather above the normal in size,
apportions its money for food
and other necessities. Twenty
nine dollars and 20 cents is ex-
pended for bread, flour, and
cereals, and while the cost of the
bread is small compared with
that of other foods, the amount
of nutriments and energy derived
from it is large. The laborer's
meat bill is the largest of all. He
spends S110.50 per year for all
kinds of meat, three and a half
times as much as for bread. His
butter costs him about as much
as his bread, and sugar half as
much, while about the same sum
is spent for potatoes and vege-
tables as for bread. Thirty
eight dollars goes for milk and
eggs. More coffee is used than
tea, about $40 is spent for the
one and S. for the other. Re
ligion, charity and tobacco claim
nearly equal amounts, while in
toxicating liquors come in for a
much larger share. Labor or
CARNATIONS get about SO per year,
while $5.79 is contributed to the
support of State and local gov.
ernments in the form of taxes.
Sickness and death on the aver
age claim $20.54. 1t is quite
apparent that bread and -four dc
not form a very large item of the
food expense of the norma.
laborer's family, as only 9 per
cent of the cost of the food goes
for bread and 81 per cent for all
other food articles. Harry Sny.

Scraping An Acquaintance With Mars
It has been urged that condi
tons on Mars are too different
from those we know to allow hu-
man life-tho certain low forms
of vegetation might perseyere.
But why the kind of life, human
and otherwise. fitted to earthly
environment should be the only
variety in the universe is hard to
see.
Persistence of the vital princi-
ple-to us most forcibly illus
tratedhere on earth-is amazing.
Constant change of form but con-
tinued existence, is the one un-
alterable law, exhibited in Jungle
and forest, in garden and park
hardly less.
The same ~ceaseless energy
which called life to expression
in the ooze of unremembered
earth ages, life fitted to the en-
vironment then possible, might
no more unbelievably awaken the
sleeping atoms concealed in the
substance Of Mars, to a life diff
ferent perhaps, but no less real,
forceful, pervasive, than our own
and best hourishing in just the
conditions there prevailing; if,
indeed, Mars, being farther
along in its life-story than earth,
may not have seen the rise and
progress of forms similar to ours
and changing with its conditions
to that which can still persist in
its surroundings of today.
Facts can be succinctly stated;
many astronomers, perhaps
most, leave them there. But
others think it is as much the
duty of science to explain as to
observe, and some Of them are
coming to indorse what is now
known as the Lowellian hypoth-
esis, that the canals, coming
and going, as they do with the
planets recognized seasons, are
simply due to vegetation,
nourished in spring and summer
by an extensive system of irriga-
tion, elaborated to a vast extent,
which dwellers on the earth have
but just begun to initiate.
And if vegetation-the animal
life? A riddle which the biolo-
gists must guess-not the as
tronomer. And if animal life,
then surely animals Of high in
telligence, if we accept the de-
velopment theory as a cosmic
truth, regnant throughout the
universe. Clearly our judg-
ment must not be too conserva
tive.
Shall man, imperfect man alone,
Evolve no type above his own.
