THE VALENTINE DEMOCRAT L M RICK , Publisher. YALENT1NE , NEBRASKA iiie.i trust tu luck hi this world , and some others are lucky to get trusted. Some men are like pins ; they have tHeir good points , yet they are apt to itick you. Speaking of airships we do not care to soar on anything unless It is a feather bed. It isn't the shortcomings of a young man that the girl's father objects to ; It's his long stayings. Even the rich have their sorrows. Mr. and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller are grieved because their new billion-dollar baby Isn't a boy. A fashion note by wireless teleg raphy from Bogota is that Panama hnts will not be extensively worn in Colombia next season. The man who tried to shoot the sec retary of the Bank of England is said to hold peculiar views on the distribu tion of wealth. This is obvious. By dint of unceasing activity Mr. Rockefeller is able to keep ahead of Mies Ida Tarbell to the extent of one or two magazine articles all the time. Information comes from scientific sources that a number of "extinct ani mals are still-living. " The wonders of science grow more and more marvel ous. China's empress dowager is going to spend 98.000,000 in building temples to the gods of peace. Captain Hobson will regard this as a shameful waste of money. Mr. Rockefeller will give $10,000- DOO to aid the search for microbes. Peary should contrive some way to convince Mr. Rockefeller that the north pole is a microbe. It is a wonder that no great financier has thought of the possibility of organ izing the eligible noblemen of Europe Into a trust and forcing American heiresses to get their coronets at mo nopoly prices. There is a strong suspicion that Japan is behind China , pushing her forward to slap her great and good Triend , the Czar. If she does , the boundary line will gallop south a few thousand more miles. Edward Atkinson says mud will be the substitute for coal , which will en able the consumer to issue a new Dec laration of Independence. If that is the case , we shall all be ready to cele brate two Fourths of July. A member of the English commis sion which is now investigating Amer ican educational conditions has public ly expressed the wish that in the next Tew decades we give our attention to turning out "two or three Miltons , one or two Dantes and one or two Shak- speares. " We are disposed to be oblig- tog , but is not the demand rather large ? One-twelfth of the estimated wealth of the United States is represented at the meeting of the board of directors t > f the United States Steel Corporation in when all the directors are present. dil They also represent 200 other compan thi ies , operating one-half of the railroad mileage in the country , and control cor pr porations whose aggregate capitaliza thi tion is $9,000.000. The Duke of Roxburghe is said to be coi K > hugely disgusted , with Americans ha that he has no desire ro return to this im sountry. Of course the Duke reserves ga in exception in the case of one fair as American. But he may dismiss from sh his mind any fear that a naval expo co sition will1 be sent to bring him back ow to America , deeply as his absence may tht be deplored. So long as he keeps on ret 5he right side of extradition laws , he In fcs quite safe. tur tat It is at once interesting and pathetic wh bo see how completely helpless , in the att grasp of the bureaucracy , is the notn- that tnal "autocrat of all the Russias. " He cai tias managed to make It manifest that fur he Is a perfectly well-meaning man ; will that he desires peace with all the world , and particularly that he desires \he advancement in civilization , Includ ing political civilization , of his own pro > eople. The more his good intentions - ire manifested the more it Is manifest c-ou iow absolutely he Is without power to " rive effect to them. " "The American people don't mind same rraftlng , " remarked an experienced was fhlladelphla politician , "but they hate ward < candals. They don't kick so much on a no I Jiggered public contract for a boule- " but they want the boulevard and ii fuss and no dust. " Unfortunately , beg politician wasn't far from the iha ith. The experience of almost every * 111 Imerlcan city will bear him out. This " Peculiar attitude of honest Americans ji toward dishonest politicians Is some lt time * attributed to Indifference toward " rabllc affairs. The voters are "too my may , " It Is said , to pay proper atteii- up , k > n to their municipal government. Eur tat this explanation reduces simply to PhJlad jhla boss' statement that people "don't mind grafting. " " a w w"i years public-spirited people "i preaching about the benefits a fa Some men hare even gone so " to B&7 that soap IB the real emblem of civilization. Whether this is so or not , it Is well known that In countries where the people are savage there is no soap. It has been difficult , however , to get some people to accept soap as a blessing or as a bulwark of the home. In spite of the good work the magazines have been doing by way of disseminating soap advertisements there are many Inhabitants of our splendid country who continue to re gard soap with suspicion if not with downright abhorrence. But something happened at Lancaster , Pa. , the other day that Is likely to bring soap to the front , to make It dear to the heart of many a man who has heretofore pre ferred to be soapless. Mr. James Wil son , a burglar gentleman who had been shut up In the Lancaster jail , suc ceeded , after stripping and thoroughly soaping himself , In squeezing through a hole which had been supposed to bo so small that no man could possibly escape by it It must have made the burglar shiver with horror to think of , putting soap upon himself , but there was nothing else for him to do if he was to gain his liberty. How can the people who have in the past shrunk from soap continue to regard with it fear or contempt ? The experience of the Lancaster burglar should serve to make soap precious to most of those who have been spurning it. The man who is an enemy of soap never can tell how soon he may be shut in behind bars. In fact , he usually gets there , sooner or later , and always deserves to. He should therefore gradually accustom - custom himself to soap before the crisis comes. If Burglar Wilson's experience - perience serves to increase the popu larity of soap his escape will have been far from a public misfortune. The time is not very far distant when this country will have to deal with congestion of population in the cities and consequent inadequacy of the rural population. Indeed , the prob lem even now presents itself urgently every summer when farmers vainly seek help to harvest the crops , though thousands of men arc idle in the cities tlT The tendency is more and more towaru the cities. Farmers' sons n , ) , longer be come farmers. Thej" disdain the slow and uneventful routine of life on tin- farm and as soon as they become their own masters they are off to the nearest city or large town to make their for tunes. In a large majority of cases they : fare far worse in the city than they would have fared on the farm , but their ill success does not deter oth ers. The tide flows all one way. The country boy comes to the city , but the city boy never goes to the country. Fortunately ' for the nation the agricul tural population is considerably , though Inadequately , recruited from abroad. A large proportion of the immigrants alm migrants from northern Europe , to gether with some Germans and Irish enter upon farming either for them se selves or for others immediately upon th arrival in this country. Most of the Scandinavians become tillers of the soil. In this way the growing dis position of Americans to forsake agri culture for urban pursuits is rendered less : of a menace to our national fu ture. It cannot but be regretted , how ever , that the native American farmer seems destined to disappear almost en tirely , leaving the cultivation of the soil entirely to immigrants. There is no life so independent and vigorous as that of the farmer and It is upon the agricultural class that the prosperity Its of the nation depends. When the farmer is prosperous we all flourish ; when he falls upon evil days we suffer with him. The condition of the farm ing : population is an index to the con " dition of the country in general , and the higher the type of that population the better the prospect for national prosperity. < It is not impossible that I there may some day be a reversal of the flow of population to the cities. We an so rich In national domain in this country that our native-born" citizens have not felt the laud hunger which Impels the European Immigrant to gain possession of a farm as quickly he can manage It The time will shortly ( come when people born in this country will realize the desirability of owning a portion of the soil , and when that realization comes there will be a reflux from the cities to the country. the meantime it is upon the agricul " tural immigrants that we must rely to take the plaees of American farmers who are deserting their plows for the attractions of city life. It is evident the native-born youth of to-day cannot be counted upon to follow the ed furrow. Possibly his grandchildren be glad to do so. The Way of the "World. "When we were poor , " remarked the prosperous man , reflectively , "we a Io-kod forward to the time when we ho L-ou.'d have a summer home. " "Well ? " I "Well , when we got rich enough to one , we didn't like going to the place every summer , because it : monotonous , and we looked for- " to the time when we could have inother for variety. " bo "Well ? " th "Well , we got another , and then we th began to long for a winter place , so sta we wouldn't have to be so much his the big house in the city. " AA'l Well ?

Open the front door and you are in his back yard. " Alexandre Dumas' good-natnred vanity was so undistinguished that his famous son once said of him in his presence : "My father is so vain that he is capable of standing in liv ery behind his own carriage to make people think he sports a negro foot man. " In a recent number of Cornhill Magazine , Mrs. Richmond Ritchie says that Miss norace Smith told her father a story on which she declared Thackeray based the opening chapters of "Pendennis. " It concerned a fam ily living in Brighton , somewhere near Kemp Town There was a some what autocratic father and a romantic young son who had lost his heart to the housemaid , and he determined to marry her. The father made the young man give his word of honor that he would not marry clandestinely - j" ly , and then , having dismissed him , rang the bell for the butler. To the butler this Major Fendennis said : "Morgan" ( or whatever his name was ) , "I wish you to retire from my Asi service , but I will give you two hundred sid dred pounds in bank-notes if you will marry the housemaid before twelve o'clock to-morrow. " The butler said , "Certainly , sir , " and the young man next morning was told of the event which had occurred , Miss Smith adds that a melancholy and sensational event immediately followed ; for the poor fellow was so overwhelmed that he rushed out and distractedly blew his brains out on the downs behind the house , and the butler meanwhile , having changed his two hundred pounds , sent a message to say that he had omitted to mention that he had a wife already , and that this would doubtless invalidate the cere mony he had just gone through with the housemaid. TOOK. HIM f-OR A THIEF. "Tourist" in Kansas Had a Koiurh Experience - perience but Came Out Ahead. A reformed "tourist" of the govern ment printing oflice recently told hoAV he Avas once captured for a burglar ou ! in Kansas , He and his partner had succeeded in getting about 100 miles west from Kansas City on the "blind baggage" of an e&iress train , tea p Jut where their ro.id crossed a norJi- andrsouth road. There their train stopped. "Then , " said he , "everything alive in - neighborhood seemed to be mov ing , and , armed with pitchforks , hoes , clubs and all sorts of weapons , a mob surrounded us and dragged us fr.ra the platform of the car at least , thej got me , but my partner kicked one oi them in the jaw and broke his hold , - and jumping on the again moving train escaped. They dragged me up into the * toAvn , calling me a thief and a scoun- and other things , even saying thai anybody could tell by my countenance that I was a burglar. " lie demanded to know the crimes with which he was charged. "Oh , we know you , " they yelled. "You're the thief that broke intc Baggs' grocery store last night and stole five boxes of sardines. " ' Five b xes of sardines me ? I wist was ! I haven't eaten as much as that in six mouths. Oh , how I wish 1 had as much as one , only one poor littU sardine. " "Who are you , and where do yoi come from ? " asked one. "Im a printer , I am , " said he , "anc I'm hunting work. " "If you're a printer , where is yotn card ? I am an old union printer my self. " "Here's my card , all right , " said he to digging it up. "Sure. " said his new-found friend "This fellow is all right This caid shows that ho left Kansas City this morning ; so how could he have burgled Baggs' Last night ? " He was turn 3d loose. is "Do you want to go to work ? " ask a the friend. "What can you do ?

Flowers out of the natural season are usually obtained by keeping tbc young plants in cold , dry bouses , and forcing them later by heat and mois ture. It is possible to giA-e young buds premature development by exposing them to ether , and A. Maumene claims that such development is not only more rapid but more regular and complete. A curious investigation by Alfred Binet of the Laboratory of the Sor- , , benne lias revealed differences in the , handAvriting of the sexes. Numerous characteristics are traced such as carelessness in tbe writing of Avomen and firmness and simplicity in that of men and an expert graphologist has , been able to giA-e the sex of tbe Avrit- ers of 141 addresses out of ISO. Tbe AA-riting of old men resembles that of women. The latest addition to American or namental stones reported by Dr. George F. Kunz has receiA'cd the name of Califormte. It AVUS first found about ninety miles from Yreka. Cal. , Avhere it outcrops for tAvo hundred feet as a hard green stone of varying shades , and taking a high polish. The material , at first supposed to bo jade , proved on analysis to be a massive va riety of vesuA'ianite. Fine slabs five feet { square and two feet thick haAe been found , and the supply seems to be largo. Similar massive vestiA'ianitc exists elscAvhere in California ami in Europe. The Department of Agriculture is in formed that the climate of Porto Rico is favorable for the cultiA-ation of what has sometimes been called the finest of tropical fruits , the mango. But although mangoes abound in the island , they are seedling trees , and the fruit is inferior to that of the famous Bombay mango , which is a grafted Jroe. It is believed that fine mangoes could ' be groAvn in abundance in Porto Rico , . by importing the best grafts , and that . the industry can be developed into an important one as soon as the excellence of the fruit becomes known . in the United States. The Japanese haAe attracted so much attention and admiration by their remarkable progress in the ideas and " practice of western civilization , as well as by their native genius in art , that the results of an investigation of the brain AAreight of the Japanese people as compared with Europeans must in terest everybody. For ten years Prof. Taguchi of Tokyo University has been studying the brains of his felloAv coun trymen. He shows that with adults , the brain weight compares favorably Avith that of Europeans of similar stature , and may even be slightly su perior. There is one striking differ ence , however , in the fact that the Japanese brain grows more sloAvly dur- ng infancy and early youth than is the case Avith Europeans. In Japan , as everywhere else , there is found a ) ositive relation betAveen brain weight and staturp. that is , the larger brains , enerally speaking , go with the larger bodies. FAST BECOMING EXTINCT. at Said Eaclcs Beinc Sacrificed to the or Milliners of the Country. "Our white-headed or bald eagle is becoming rarer every year , for our na tional bird is being sacrificed to mihi- ners. Before long that may be Its only habitat , " said an attendant at the zoo one a Washington Star man. "When on some wild coast we see one of these birds rise from a cliff and begin to circle upward , then his mate , ing larger eAen than himself , and finally a is two full-sized broAvn-headed birds of the the year follow their parents , the sight to worth waiting many years or going bin long distance to see. We folIoAV them with our eyes until they become tiny motes , then just the trace of one comes our straining sight , and' they van put and are lost from view. difi "In Washington , however , we may ality the 'courtship gallop' of the bald ing eagle , watch its nest-building and ob in serve the domestic economy of this bird fan the male on guard and tbe female The brooding her white eggs. The first year tier which tbe eagles nested in the zoo- love log-cal ; park the female sheAved great tester inexperience in her housekeeping. In ster large flying cage where they spend the winter in company with crows and enact magpies they collected a quantity of sen sticks < and grass around a small hollow upon the ground , and after lining the nati cavity with moss the nest was consid ous finished. refc "Both birds took part in its construc whc , and. from the continual chuckling ean screaming , are presumed to have tL thoroughly enjoyed their work. Eagles State nest In trees , and these birds placed the nesting material round the E of several saplings , the stems of aroi \vhich , protruding through the sticks ive-l moss , looked not unlike the top ivelM branches of a tall tree. Naturally the E thing to be thought of was eggs , casl : this pair of birds had original Ideas caslM intended , for a thne , at leaat , mere the to play at housekeeping. A god- : ; Son stone was brought In the talus the female from anothar part f Ike cage ! and placed in the nest and the work of hatching bi'gan. The male an j female ( sat on the nest on alternate days and the bird not so engaged was 1 always perched on a log near by or 1guard. 1 . The following year two egg } were laid , bluish-white In color anc about three inches in length. "The temperament of these birds un dergoes a complete change at the tim < of the nesting season. At other timei they are easily caught in a net and an not difficule to overpower , seizing everj opportunity ' of making their escape But when they begin to plan for theii nest one cannot approach within twen ty feet without being attacked by enter or both eagles. When they rush for ward , one on each side , and strike witl beak and uplifted feet , it Is no easj matter to escape unharmed , as I found when trying to photograph them , theh talons | reaching the skin every time clothing or shoes affording little or nc _ protection. , " HIS BESETTING SIN. How Kph Was Cleared on the Charci of Dattcincr. Bphraim A\-as a man of importance being an elder in the Baptist churc ] and much given to exhortation , pray er ] and song , says Lippincott's Maga zinc. His cabin Avas the scene 01 many a "reviA'al , " and the powerfu prayers offered by Ephraim on thesi occasions were fche AAronder and ad miration of the colored population. With all his religious ardor , how ever , there Avere times when the pleas tires of the Avorld appealed stronglj to him. Seeing him approach om morning with downcast eyes and ai air of general dejection , Colonel Sneac accosted him thus : "Hello. Eph ! You look as if yor \vere going to your own funeral What's the matter ? ' ' "Well , kunnel , I feels bad , suh , " replied Eph ; "de 'casion am a ser'ous one , suh.

" "Well , Eph. that's pretty hard luck but they ought to know that an eldei of your standing would not indulge ir anything so Avorldly as dancing , " re plied the colonel with a twinkle in his eye , well knowing that Eph's besefc ting sin was not tripping the light fan tastic. "I hopes so , kunnel , I hopes so , " re joined Eph in a tone of utter despali as he trudged on toward the town. Late the same afternoon Colone Snead heard a voice singing lustil ] "I'se gwine ter jlne de band , " an < recognizing Eph , he asked : "How did the trial go , Eph ? " "Dey cl'ar'd me , kunnel , bross di LaAvd ! dey cl'ar'd me " "Cleared you , did they ? that's good Then you proved you'd not beei dancing ? " said the colonel. "No , suh , kunnel. dey proved it oi me all right , but dey 'lowed I was drunk an' didu' knoAV Avhat I was do in' , so rey cl'ar'd me , kunnel bresj x do LaAvd ! " Turbines. Tbe idea of the steam turbine ii quite simple , and is similar to that oj the water turbine or impulse wheel The practical difficulty which hat preA-ented the development of goo < steam turbines lies in the high A-elocitj which steam can impart to itself in ex pansion , and the difficulty In efflcientlj transferring this motion to the wheeli speeds practicable for constructior j practical use. Steam expanding from one hundred and fifty poundf gauge pressure a square inch into th ( atmosphere is capable of imparting tc itself a speed of nearly three thousand feet second , and if it is expanded frorx hundred and fifty pounds gaug pressure into tAventy-eia&t inci vacuum , it can attain a velocity of foui thousand feet a second.
