The St. Louis Post-Dispatch says "that there Is no State in the Union in which aaybody but a funny writer says 'sab' for 'air. ' Yes, suh; that's so, sub. It appears that an Alaska Indian, though 52 yea re old, has to ask his mother if he can go bear-hunting. This, however, may be a typographical error (or mother-in-law. A dispatch from New York says that "the kinetoscope pictures of the big light are entirely satisfactory to all concerned." We never would have be lieved that of Mr. Corbett. The department of agriculture at con siderable expense has just issued an exhaustive treatise on "Mushroom Cul ture," which can hardly fail to interest farmers who devote their attention to this crop. In Georgetown, Del., the other day a clergyman had a fight with a prise fighter and thrashed him soundly. But the saddest feature of this disgraceful affair was that it was pulled off before the kinetoscope people could be noti fied. A Boston court has decided that a young man who paid assiduous atten tion to a girl last summer and treated her to ice cream several times practic ally engaged himself to marry her by indulging in such lover-like conduct And yet it has been claimed that the Bardell case was overdrawn by Dick ens. Steve Crane must look to his laurels. His "death demon chattering in the tree tops" is in danger of eclipse. Yooe Noguchi, the California poet, has re cently been seeing "maiden goddesses love-chattering in the paradise of the clouds." This is pretty nearly down to the ideal delirium tremens standard which has been maintained so long by by Mr. Crane. Hon. John L. Sullivan says he yearns for a chance "to prove that he is the superior of Fitzsimmons, mentally and physically." We don't believe a physi cal contest between these eminent gen tlemen should be encouraged, but we see no valid objection to a mental com bat. An old-fashioned spelling bee or in oratorical contest by such gladia tors ought to be worth climbing a tree to see. The Hartford Courant tells a story of Yale in the old days. The boys used to bribe the printers' "devils" to get proofs of the examination papers for them. When the college authorities put a stop to this practice a bright Idea seized one fellow, and he saved the . whole suffering party. He hired one of the printers (it was summer) to wear a pair of white trousers to the office and at noon to sit down on the "form" in which were locked the precious Ques tions. The inky seat of that pair of trousers sold for a deal more than the clothes were worth. The work of the life-savers along the sea coast and the great lakes is not ap preciated by the public, as a rule, un til the aggregate figures are published. The report of the General Superinten dent for the year shows some extraor dinary results. It appears there were 437 disasters within the districts of the life-savers during the year, involving ,4,608 persons, and $12,726,520 in the value of vessels and cargoes. Of these only thirteen lives were lost, and ves sels and cargoes to the value of less than $2,000,(100. This is certainly an admirable record, and a signal tribute to the heroism of the men employed in the service. Cattle men in the United States may be Interested in knowing that the im ports of foreign beef cattle Into Switz erland have for the past seven years averaged 50,000 head, valued at 5, 018,000 per annum. Of the above, Aus tria furnished the largest number, and daring the years 1880-00 her shipments to Switzerland were valued at 12.895, 000 each year. Italy's share for the same period was valued at only $772. 000, but since then she has Increased her shipments to such an extent that her exports for the past few years foot op In the average 93,800,000 annually. France supplies Switzerland with con siderable beef cattle, and in 1892 her sports to Switzerland exceeded Aus tria's figures by 9188,000, but since then, she has again fallen behind, so that, to-day, Italy and Austria are the main sources of beef supplies, after which come France and Germany. The United States cot no figure so far in the wis cattle Imports. Mr. N. H. Darton, of the United State Geological Survey, is quoted In the Denver (Oat) Republican as saying ttat there i am practically Inexbausti U fCViy of artesian well water nnder tne plataa lying at the foot of the salt an sSope tf the Kocky Mountains, and t the ctcai smrrey la mapping Ct !!; sowtaf where and at (v: )C7ta the water aaay be found.

It is not prcl- able thst the water is as plentiful ev- erywhere as in the well-known South Dakota artesian well district, but Mr. Darton thinks that with reservoirs and other provisions for proper economy there is plenty of water to develop th rich desert soil to a profitable degree. New York Times: Of course General Weyler is Indignant because people here, Instead of holding him, like other men, innocent of any charge until it is proved, insist on regarding him as guilty until he has demonstrated the groundlessness of the accusation be yond the shadow of a doubt's shadow. Who wouldn't be indignant at treat ment like that? Still, It's hard to ser. what the general is going to do to make his anger effective. His record is so very, very bad; his character is so well known and his only hopes of success rest so entirely upon what he can ac complish by treachery, that really no body can quite conceive that he may have been the victim of calumny. This is a dreadful position to be in, but that General Weyler occupies it is his own fault It is impossible to find a member of either house of Congress who will con fess that his official salary enables him to more than cover expenses. What Is It that they are all to enjoy after they have won the goal? First of all, the annual salary of $5,000. For Represen tatives add $1,200, allowed yearly for clerical service, but whose expenditure need not be accounted for to any one. For members of both bouses add $125 a year, allowed for stationery, the bal ance to be drawn at the end of each session, if not all used. It seldom hap pens that more than $50 of this allow ance is expended. There is no reason why a thrifty man should not save one or two thousand dollars during each term In the House. It is hardly possi ble for a Senator to save, however, since he has to spend a great deal of money to keep up with his greater so cial duties. To the millionaire mem ber of Congress the annual salary Is merely ornamental. It is the heavy swell tiling for the legislator of this branch to turn over his five thousand a year to his private secretary, who generally has his employer's private Interests to attend to in addition. It is said that Hanna not only gives his sec retary his whole annual salary, but a thousand dollars in addition. Briee Is said to have given his whole Senatorial salary to his secretary, while his social pilot probably receives even more- some say $25,000. The complaint that novels, biograph ies, essays and all other forms of pop ular literature are becoming "light and scrappy" under the Influence of the newspapers may have some justifica tion in fact. But even If such charges are fully admitted, it Is merely a con fession that popular literature is ac tually growing popular. There are book stores whose tack shelves are filled with sweepings from the litera ture of the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries folios and quar tos, ponderous, Impressive and capable of being comprehended only by the most strenuous exertion. Some of them are editions of once favorite authors with at least ten pages of notes, com ments and learned "excursions" for every page of the text. The taste which made such books possible no longer exists. Or if it does it is only In rare cases, as an eccentricity or as a result of. special studies. Instead of the laborious and pedantic works of the seventeenth century, intended only for the select few and "caviare to the general," our literature now Is gener ally Intended to reach the largest num ber of people. If the newspapers are responsible for this change of taste. It Is one thing more to their credit. "The republic of letters" has become demo tratic, and those who would rise to high position in it must not follow the example of the now forgotten sixteenth century writer who boasted that he scorned the rest and sought to please the wise. They must seek to please and help everybody. The Power of Habit. The nower of habit is nartlcnlnrlv ex. empllfied in the effects produced by the company we keep. The utmost vig ilance, therefore, should be exercised on this important subject. The great power and force of custom forms an argument against keeping bad com pany.

The Prince of Wales evidently has undertaken to reduce the swelling In the Vanderbllts' bank accouut It is very gratifying to note that Miss Netuersole has publicly confirmed the rumor that her osculation Is to be do mesticated next season. The Japanese Government, Instead of presenting medals to the soldiers who t x)k part In the war against China, is to give them excellent Swiss watches. i Those who have been unfortunate enough to follow the Earl Kussell dl vorce case carefully probably will agree that if be loved his mother-in-law served her right. An Indiana man has broken the mat rimonial record In a new spot. He died, leaving six living widows. He left the last of these $1,000. To all of the others he was paying alimony. The one great element of strength which Turkey possesses is her debts. England may be relied upon to protect English Investments In Turkish securi ties. Colonel Al Hamid is not at all afraid of his creditors. A Bostoin paper says: "Xanseu's ex pedition consisted of thirteen mem bers. No wonder it proved a miserable failure." But it dldu't. It was the most successful iolar expedition ever attempted. Nausea already has sold to the publishers more than $150,000 worth of cold facts. The Beaver Comity (Okla.) Signal, In writing up a recent funeral, thoughtful ly remarked that "the corpse, tasteful ly arrayed In white, lay quietly lu the coffin." We heartily commend that corpse for Its quietude under such eir cumstuiices. A corpse which clambers out of the coffin and goes cavorting around is almost certain to get itself disliked. The editor of the Clarksville (Tenu.) Chronicle evidently has the courage of his convictions. He says: "We want to'go fishing for a week some time this spring, and shall call on certain fellows alnut here to get out a readable paper , In our absence. What the average I town wiseacre doesn't know about ed ' itlng a newspaper would puzzle Solo mon to find out anyway." The Blu Mountain (Miss.) Breeze re marks editorially: "As we were study ing where we should corral a dinner last Sunday, our better being still away visiting, and the deepest brown study having possession of us, tere came a bountiful repast at the hand of Miss Willie Hardin. The feed was su perb. Boys, let us whisper to you, she is an excellent housekeeper. Thank you, Miss Willie." And yet they say that journalism has no rewards. Some surprise has been felt at the ap pearance upon the stages where "con tinuous performances are given of such actors as Maurice Barrymore, Rose Coghlan and others who were wont to appear with companies of their own In the higher priced theaters. But not only do these people find it easier to make large sums by such engagements, but their appearance at the cheaper houses Introduces them to new audi euces, many of whom never saw such high-grade acting before. In conse quence of this the character of the work upon these stages is improving nd the auditors are being educated to ieniand a better class of entertainment. A judge of the Oldham County Court, In England, has given a decision on the subject of the cat's Intellect which the New York Journal thinks will be disputed by many friends of that animal. He has decided that a cat is "a quasi-domestim animal, and thru It owner is not responsible for its ac tions. A cooper who sued a signal raan io damKe sustained by the de- fendant's cat having killed and eaten thirteen of the plaintiffs chickens, therefore lost his case. The judge laid down the interesting proposition that a 'cat's Intellect is not so extensive rs to render It able to distinguish between chickens and small birds.'" a IlaIIaD nian.

Tbe bank may therefore tie said to have fouud the major portion of the money subscribed. Besides tills, the bank Is a creditor to the government under various heads to the extent of more than $250,000,000. Inasmuch as tbe capital fully paid up of the bank, to gether with its reserve fund, amounts to only $30,000,000, it will readily be seen that the strain to which this, tbe leading financial Institution in Spain, is being subjected Is tremendous and cannot Ie continued much longer before disaster ensues. Here Is a curious narrative from nn English newspaK'r: At the Bradford Borough Court recently Milly 8olomon, talloress, of 83 Diamond street, Brad ford, sued Myer Levi, master tailor of Wellington street for 1 lis alleged to be due for wages. The plaintiff stated that she left her home to go to work for the defendant. She engaged at a standard wage of 12s per week (liH in slack tiniest. About a mouth ago be had not fouud her work or enabled her to have anything to live upon for three weeks, so she left. In examination by Mr. Harris, who appeared for the de fendant, she admitted that the account for making trousers, vests aud packets had been signed by her. The Stipend iary totaled up the articles, aud it ap peared, that the applicant made or fin ished twenty-nine articles, including fourteen pairs of trousers, for 12s. The Stipendiary "Well, I don't know what sweating is, but that seems to be to be an extraordinary price. Is that the basis on which you propose to pay her, Mr. Harris?" Mr. Harris "Yes." The Stipendiary "Well, it is not the batOs on which I shall give an award. A pair of trousers for 4 l-2d is not a prop er price. Iu tlie course of the case the stipendiary remarked: "There is not much Solomon nlKnit a person who takes 0d for hushing a coat and vest." Judgment was entered for the plaintiff tor ids and costs (s). A man writing to the New Haven Register asks where he can find a boarding house where he will not hear bicycle talk at breakfast, dinner and supper. We fancy be will have diffi culty In discovering such a place. There Is nothing in modern life which has taken such a strong hold upon the peo ple as the bicycle habit, and the fact that men, women and children In all walks of life ride or understand them makes "bicycle talk" the commonest sort of conversation. The liveliest In terest is shown by the devotees In the ! Invention of a uew bicycle attachment, and we fancy that a wheel on an en- uirij uch in i jilt: ntiuiu rue it wave of hysterical excitement to sweep over the country. Let a man place an ordinary wheel in his store window for convenience and from two to tea persons will stand In front of it all day, j speculating as to its merits aud defects. Let him leave It on the curb for a few minutes and staid business men will ' stop and examine It minutely, twirling ' the treadles and wriggling the handle which should be abandoned as un bars In a critical manner, as if It were lilM.ly to prve profltabIet The farm. something dropped from Mars or the j er.g blwlneM M Mrrll on is moon. hole families are divided as to a Inlxwl ta1,1BtrT Th(.re aro the advantage of certalu sorts of ,,,.,, - r, ,.,,, ,,.,, , sprocket wheels, and divorces have ' been obtained on the ground of Incom-' patibility of bicycle lamps.

There Is no escape from It In this world. t The St. Louis Globe-Democrat briefly explalns tbe method of mining nitrate plus at a profit, and not Infrequently in Chill: "The niter Is fouud in a great he would discover that some of the plain between the main ridge of the ' staples supposed to yield a sure profit Andes on the east and the coast range are produced at a very small profit, or on the west.

The snow-covered summits of the lofty Cor- dillera. 1 lie surface of tbe plain Is sand reaching to depths varying from few inches to several feet, below which is a hard crust of Impure gyp sum from four to ten Inches thick.

This Is found In a sheet ranging In thickness from one! foot In the southern part of the plain to twelve feet In the northern part. The nitrate Is underlaid by very bard clay, resting In turn on solid rock. The1 method of mining the nitrate involves an Ingenious engineering expedient to avoid handling the superposed mater ial as much as possible. It has been de scribed substantially as follows: A small vertical shaft Is sunk through' the nitrate bed and a bov lowered to the bottom, who undercuts tbe bed so ' as to form a chamber large enough to bold tbe charge of powder, sometimes as much as half a ton. When the cham ber baa been dug out and cleaned, the powder Is packed Into It and provided with a long fuse. The hole to then rammed full of earth and tamped down as firm as possible. In order to spread tbe effect of tbe explosion. When the mine Is fired, the bed and overlying strata are broken np over a considera ble area. The nitrate Is easily separ ated from tbe other materials and hauled away to the factories. The powder used In the mine Is made In tbe factorlea and was employed exclu sively until within a few years, dyna mite now being used somewhat.", Kew Where ta Look.

A contrivance for turning a grind stone, by means of which one can turn and grind at tbe same time with com parative ease, has been devised by a correspondent of the Rural New York er. To construct the device, take the small sprocket wheels and chain from an old worn binder or other f:irm ma chinery, and gear It two to one; that Is, the lower or crank shaft wheel must have twice as many cogs as the one on the stone shaft Use a stone twenty or more Inches In diameter, and be sure to get a good one. An Amherst Is better than a Berea, for all purjHses. If geared higher than two to one, it will turn hard, and If much lower It will OnlXDiTOXE DEVICE. not turn fast enough. It Is the fast mo- tion that cuts. One may find an excel- , i,.rtt imlr of cranks from some old bl- cycle. Bystem on the Farm. On many farms the most apparent eauaes of failure are a want of system, wastefulness, and liiisdLrect"d labor. It doubtless Is far more difficult for the farmer to reduce his business to a definite system than It is for the aver age merchant, but that Is no reason why he should abandon all attempts to do so, and work blindly. There are many farmers who are careful men, who are striving to reduce their ope rations to systematic rules, and who are doing a good deal hi this Hue in the way of keeping dally records of the j mlikln of ech cw In k.oii, il,.r accounts with each Imjiortaut crop, and In carefully recording the average work done by faithful men lu the sev eral occupations of the farm.

It Is slow, tedious work to cut tbe po tato seed for planting large fields. Yet with most kinds of potatoes the cut seed Is a necessity, for If the seed ls planted whole there will be tootuany small potatoes from crowding of so many stalks In a bllL It Is true not all tbe eyes on a whole or even of a cut po tato will grow, but If seed Is planted whole there will be far too many for profit It Is dirty work cutting pota toes, not so much from the soil adher ing to them as from the potato juice, which discolors and rusts tbe knife and stains the hands. This discoloring Is easily removed by wetting the hands In pure water without soap, and then holding them over one or two burning sulphur matches. The fumes of sul phur are excellent to bleach anything. Breeding Ground Hogs for Food. Mr. Henry Singer, a well-known and thrifty farmer of near Duvall Station, Scott County, Ky., has for the past two years been domesticating tlie ground hog with much success. Mr. Singer found a burrow In which he captured seventeen ground hogs, and, taking them into a small lot on his place, he built a close wire fence through which none could 'escape. IjihI year the lng Increased to 205, ami this year there were 1,073. Of this number Mr. Singer killed 1,000, which he salted away and will smoke dry, as Kentucky farmers do with ordinary iork. The ground hog when so cured Is a great delicacy, and Mr. Singer has more thau enough to furnish his meat for the coming year. Southwestern Stockman. cave thOrs Feed.

Farm Kgi Plnnt , The egg plant Is not difficult to grow, and It Is one of those vegetables not often seen on farmers' tables, but which, if provided, would help make nn agreeable variety. Tlie purple egg plant Is most productive aud best. The plant belongs to the same botanical family as the potato, ami must be pro tected from attacks of the potato larva. The best way Is to watch the plants closely so long as the potato licet lea are flying, and kill the beetles before they have laid their eggs. If any larvae hatch a weak dilution of parts green will kill them. Profit from Garden Herbs. A few pniiers of herb seeds, such as sage, imrsley and the like, should U, found In every farmer's garden.
