Hill and Charles Phelps have gone to Gates Academy for another hard year’s study. Jay B. Farnsworth went to Page Friday to meet his friend and com rade, Lieut. Wertz, of Stuart. Dr. Rado Gallagher has returned | to Minneapolis. His gammer rest I in Holt was enjoyable both to him self and friends. Emporia school is progressing finely, but the attendance is small considering the number of children of school age in the district. The campaign is on. Office-seek ers are abroad in the land, and one query is, Will the temperance cause be disgraced this election by the prohibition candidate for superin tendent of schools giving up his run and using his influence and party to elect the “pop” ticket, simply for the money he can got out of it for him or his. Another wonder is, willthe political divine traverse the county slandering Mr. Harmsh, as in the previous campaign? Ed Gallagher and sister, Katie, have gone to Ewing, where they will enter the high school. We wish we could name many others who are making like effort toward improve ment. But unhappily most ot our young men are satisfied in the pos session of a horse and buggy, knowl edge enough to drive, and a girl of like intelligence to sit beside them. This is unfortunate. If there was more education, more culture and refinement among our citizens, there would be less backbiting and slander in our communities, churches and homes; for we would be able to think and talk of something besides our neighbors and their short comings.

In the center of George Vanderbilt’s leautiful estate of 9,000 acres near Asheville, there is a little plot owned >y an old negro, which no money can buy. Within sight of the palatial muse the old man sits by his door j contentedly smoking his corncob pipe, unmoved by entreaty or offers of fab ulous sums for his log cabin. He in variably makes the same answer: Now, look here, sah; all ray life I’se iccn bothered with bad neighbors, ley comes home drunk an’ dey smash es my fence and dey steals me bacon. Now, Col. George here, lie treats me ;quare. He leaves me bacon alone, he lon't abducklate no chickens. Now, I’se got a good neighbor; I’se going to stick to him.”—New York Telegraph. Thousands of little apple trees, some already five inches high, have been found growing on the western shores of the islands of Mull and Iona, on the Scottish west coast, just above high water mark, and the crofters are trans planting them to their gardens. The seedlings have grown from the apples east ashore from the Dominion line steamer Labrador, wreckeu last fall. The London Dally Chronicle calls this ‘a practical demonstration of the hardiness and vitality of apple pips," but whether the hardiness consists in resisting the sea water or in enduring the climate of Scotland it does not say. Vanderbilt'* Neighbor. The Apple’* Hardin***. The Largent Tree. New York Tribune: Kent County, Md., has a peach tree that Is believed by State Entomologist W. G.

THE MADSTONE SFl DOM FAILS Wonderful I'ropertU'.t (.'liiluml for u From tho St. Louis loot-D.spatch: There is in the house of Mrs. li. It. Beebo of 73 Dunlap street, Memphis, Tenu., a wonderful loadstone, which for 75 years has enjoyed the reputa tion of performing wonderful cur. s of hydrophobia. Mrs. John SI eiton, the sister of Mrs. Ikebe, is the ownei of the stone. It was willed to hoi by her father, a minister in the Chris tian church, to whom it was presented by a poor German woman in his par ish. The pastor made good use of It for more than half a century. In all those years only two persons treated with the stone failed to recover. One of these had let the wound go un attended for over nine days; the other was a farmer, too busy with his crop to permit of the applications which were considered necessary. Mrs. Shel on lost her father twenty years ago. She has used the madstono constantly since and has never either lost a case or made a charge for treating. People come from far and near to be treated, in many instances dumb brutes that have been bitten by rabid dogs have died, while people bitten by the same dogs have recovered, showing con clusively that the animals were mad. The stone is broken in several pieces and has something the appearance of a piece of coral. It is porous and absorbs the poison when applied to the wound. It was broken by being gnawed by a valuable dog. The dog was being treated for hydrophobia. He had been bitten and the stone was bound to his wound. He not only gnawed the stone off, but tried to chew it into bits. The stone Is applied by being first put in hot water for a few minutes. Then it is taken out and placed, as hot as can be borne, upon the wound. This Is repeated hourly for twelve hours. If there is more than one wound the treatment is extended to twenty-four hours. Lottery Scheme for Spain. Under the auspices of the Spanish government a great lottery scheme will be launched In Madrid August 1, the receipts of which, minus the prises, will be turned over to the government for Its most pressing needs. It is thought that by September the sala ries of civil and military servants re cently suspended can then be made good. Circulars are being sent out all over Europe, and it is expected that 500,000,000 pesetas, or about $100, 000,000, will be netted by the govern ment, There are live capital prizes of 500,000 pesetas each. The lottery is now new in Spain, but Spanish lot tery has never been popular In other states of Europe, investors preferring to take their chances with the Dutch or Prussian lotteries. The Spanish lottery in 1897 brought the treasury 3,000,000 pesetas, In the same year the Portuguese lottery gained 1,750,000 milrels (nearly $2,000,000). The lot tery is authorized In other countries of Europe. In Italy last year the government gained 62,000,000 lire ($12, 400,000), showing that the poor lazza rone was not without bis savings. In Holland the official lotteries gained $300,000; in Denmark the winnings amounted to about half a million more. But the Prussian lottery, which is annually operated under the direct authority of the state, is the most pop ular. There are a number of prizes of 500,000 marks every year, and in 1897 the receipts of the treasurer amounted to over 100,000,000 marks.— New York Times. Not Infallible. Harriet Martlneau, the English au thor, was shrewd and practical, and bad what men are pleased to call a "masculine Intellect." But She was not always correct in her deductions, a fact illustrated by the following anecdote, told In her "Memoirs” by Sir Charles Murray, who was then the English con sul-general in Egypt: One afternoon we met at the villa of my old friend, S. W. Larking, on the banks of the Mahamoudieh canal. In the course of our stroll through the garden we came to a small gate, the pattern of which was new to Miss Martlneau, who was walking in front. She stopped, and looking at the gate in an attitude of Intense admiration, exclaimed: “How truly Oriental! What wonderful taste these easterners have in design!” She went on, and as Larking and I followed through the gate, he whispered to me, "I got it out last week from Birming ham.” Advantage of Being a Kaiser. "Vaterlandlose Geselin,” "fellows without a country,” the phrase used by the kaiser to designate the social dem ocrats a few years ago, has been ad judged libelous by a Prussian court if used by a less exalted person. The phrase was applied in the late elec tion by a conservative candidate to some electors who voted for his Polish opponent, and he has been condemned to pay for it. Life of a Queen Bee. The life of the queen bee i3 from three to four years; that of the drone is not easily estimated, as it dies from violence, while the worker lives from three to six mouths. Bees have been known to occupy one hive for 46 con secutive seasons. explosive Power of Water. It has been demonstrated tivit the explosive power of a sphere of water only one inch in diameter is suffic^jnt to burst a brass vessel having a re sisting power of 27,000 pounds. fie Meed.
