The following extracts from a Wash

our readers: "Although the Kinkaid
law effects no state hut Nebraska, it is
of special importance to that state, and
will result in a marked increase in the
population of the land in northwest
Nebraska and in the assessed valuation
of property. The measure provtdoa
that G40 acres may be taken under the
homostoad laws. June 27, or 38, the
Nebraska land will be open for settle
ment. The Bosebud country contain
ing 41600a actes in South Dakota,
which will be opened under the Bmke
act just passed, is immediately north of
the Nebraska land, which is to he
opened, and a great rush of settlers are
expected into the two states in the next
six months. The president will issue'
his proclamation opening the Rosebud
country, within a week or ten days so
that the land may be entered on or
about July 1.

WORN-OUT RUBBER MADE NEW.
Modern Inventions Permit Rejuvena
tion of Valuable Product.
Worn-out rubbt"1, like worn-out sil
ver, Is somethlrp tl.at does not exist
In theEO days. Ever since the advent
of blcycloB arc! automobiles, both of
which draw heatlly on the world's
rubber supply, and ever since the hun
drod and ona uaei to which rubber is
put in connection with electricity, tho
material has become more and more
scuico and valuable, so that even tho
old rubber shoe and tho worn-out rub
ber boot may throw out their chests In
pride at being worth really something.
Nothing containing rubber Is discard
ed nowndays. Tho old rubber coat
over which tho spring tires of a motor
ear may run on a country road to-day
mny some day find a resting place In
tho Boft treses of a woman's hair af
ter having been transformed Into a
handsome comb.
Even vulcanized rubber, which, ow
ing to the sulphuric process to which
It was subjectel, was formerly value
less. Is now subjected to a process
which rejuvenates It and makes It Lt
to bo worked up again for tho pur
poses of tho manufacturer. Immense
quantities of this product, which for
erly was nsslgned to a rubbish heap,
aro now treated and admixed with a
certain percentago of new gum, enough
to chcapon tho price of most rubber
goods turned out by the mr r' ctur
ers to-day. Old rubbor, ho. . . , , can
bo used by Itself without any addition
of fresh gum, tho process of treatment
being a simple ono. Answers. .
THEN WAS THE TIME.
Southerner's Peculiar Plea for Pro
motion of Harmony.
Dr. G. Watson James, for many
years on tho editorial staff of tho
old Richmond Dispatch, now out of
existence, tells this story to show
how gentle and sweet was tho feeling
between the Methodists North and
tho Methodists South right after tho
war.
It was u raw and wet day when
tho doctor took a Mississippi steamer
at Now Orleans. Ho was accompanied
by a Virginia .Methodist. On board
was a party of about 200 Northern
Methodists who had hern to some
Important conference away trom
home.
Tho Northorn Methodists hugged
tho warm sides of the groat exposed
boilers of tho steamer.
Another steamer enmo up astern,
and a race was started. The doctor's
craft was losing by inches, and tho
captain had tho furnaces roaring and
full head of stnnm on.
When an explosion seemed to havo
beon overdue a half hour, the South
ern Methodist went out Into tho cold
and drizzle and raising his hands
toward the gray sky uttered this In
vocation: "O Lawd! Far bo it from mo, yo'
'umble servant, to wish any of Yo'
people harm, but If Yo' aro still in tho
bller bustln business, now's Yo'
chance." New York Times.
To the Man Who Tried.
Not nil of life It Ls to win;
True henrtx respect the -mnn
Who lifts his banner and goes In
To do the best he can.
Three times. Sir Thomas, you have
pousht
To lift the trophy up.
But nil tho Shnmroeks that you bronsM
Have failed to win the Cup.
So gallantly you lea the fight,
So true yotir nluok nnil nrlde.
We claim with heurtlnets the right
To oralse the Alan whi Tried.
Tho world Laj smiled on you, Sir Tom.
And may It while, you live:
Forgive us If we keep yo'i from
The Cup wo could not give.
How better far than rnnl: or fame
It l to be content
To take with gratitude, not blame.
The goods the gods have sent.
En now. Sir Tom. restrain your teirs.
Nor rail against tho Fates;
Content you with tho Cup that Cheers
And not Inebriates.

Dangerous Exuberance.
A quaint and most disagreeable do
tall of Lord Curzon's recent visit to
Kowelt was tho constant fusillade of
ball cartridge kept up by his natlvo
escorL It does not appear that any
body, strango to relate, was hurt bjy
tno nuiieis, wnicn must imvo been
dropping all about In the surrounding
country; hut It is quite common in
that part of tho world for bystanders
to bo Injured by these peculiar dem
onstrations of enthusiasm. Blank
cartridge does not satisfy tho feelings
of these races when they are excited;
they must, apparently, have tho son
eatlon of dangor as well. Tho pure
negro, on the other hand, oven the
Duhoman and tho Fan, is quite happy
so long as ho may make a satisfac
tory noise. Montreal Herald.
