An agent of the Interior Department tells many stories illustrating odd phases of the Indian's character. " "There was a farmer in the West , " -says this agent , "who was in a difficulty to secure help on his farm. Indians I were numerous in the neighborhood , b'lt they were poor workmen. Always tir- . ed , they would put down the hoe or the rake as soon as the master's back was J. turned , and , selecting a cool spot , they would lie down in the shade and sleep , the day ; away. : "But one morning a very tall ] , robust _ Indian came , asking the farmer for \ . work. : I " 'Xo , ' said the white man ; 'you will get tired.

LTHOUGH no monarch , however precari ous his tenure may be in these uncertain A days , -of kingship , has recently offered his kingdom for a horse , the old reliable ani- mal is still an Indispensable adjunct to human welfare. Only a few years ago the machinist who had become enamored of automobiles predicted that the horse was doomed to extinction at an early date. He said the same thing . when bicycles came into use. But the horse is still do- ing business , and the bicycle has gone so completely out of general use as to make people wonder what they ever saw in it. Our horse population , taken over the fifteen years in which the automobile may be said to have been an ef fective competitor , has risen almost continuously , and especially in the past seven years. There were 15,893- . 318 horses in the United States in 1895 , with an average value of $36 a head. There are now , according to the figures of the fiscal year just closed , 20,640,000 , with a total value of $1,974,042,000 , or an average of $95 a head. In the same period the horse's plebeian but use- ful relative , the mule , has nearly doubled in number , . or from 2,333,108 in 1895 to 4,053,000 In 1909 , and more than doubled in value , as the average mule which was worth $47 in 1895 is now worth $107. If the automo- bile were going to exterminate the horse , such figures as these . would be impossible. - Wall . Street Journal. . ABANDONED FARMS IN ENGLAND. NGLAND is worried at present over not only ; a decrease in its farm population , L E but a shrinkage in the number of acres under cultivation. It has 1,500,000 acres less under cultivation \ now than ten years < < ID ago. A commission . which investigated the subject ascribes this situation to the impossibility of ownership by the tenant , leading to slack methods which render farming unprofitable , and recommend giving tho tenant a chance to purchase , or at least the benefit of enhanced value due to better care and more scientific tillage. Land in England has become too valuable to return A profit by farming methods prevailing in the United States , and the commission plans to rejuvenate English agriculture by a multiplicity of small farms well tilled and soil properly nurtured. England must always de pend upon outside sources for a large portion of its food supply , but it could be made to produce every- thing needed except grains and meat , and the amount of these produced at home could be greatly Increased If all the arable land were under plow.-Omaha Bee. RAISING : THE STANDARD. HE approach of the new school year brings out the announcement that several of the T leading colleges and universities are adopt- ing the policy of ridding their classrooms 1 of no-account students. The Chicago Uni- - - versity alone has dropped one hundred students because of failure to make satis- factory records in scholarship. As we understand it , the student who makes honest effort to make his grades , and makes progress , even though slow in advancement , will be given proper encouragement to continue his work. Any other course would be brutal , but the smart Alec who goes to college just because "pa" is rich and I ELECTRIC POWER FROM SUN. Generator Gathers Solar Electricity and Makes : It Do Work. Innumerable reasons might be given for belief that there is no heat in the sun , but the strongest Is based upon the experiences of aeronauts. They always remark that at great altitudes the thermometer ceases to mark any variation of temperature. . Certainly a man so high In the air that the earth is barely discernible Is nearer to the sun than we are. If the heat be in the sun itself , why does he not feel it more strongly than those on the earth's surface ? The tendency of heat is always to ascend into the atmosphere when It Is derived from combustion on the surface of the earth , or from radiation within it. The flame of a candle points vertically upward when the air is still. Notice a room in which there Is a hot stove. Is not the upper part of the room vastly hotter than near the floor ? The effort of heat is to depart from Its source with a rapidity proportion- ate to the Intensity of combustion. This is a repellant force ; at the same time , from Its being associated with positive electricity , it is attracted to the upper atmosphere by its negative electricity , which is always associated vith cold. The diffusion of heat , laterally or downward , is inconsiderable , as Is manifested in a room where there Is an open fire , the fire emitting little . heat ] below the grate and parts of the I room , being Imperfectly heated. I From these simple facts I am forced to i conclude that the sun. if it had any rrlorific rays , could not possibly send them to the earth below -it through a space of 92.000.000 miles , having , as scientists declare , a temperature of minus 142 degrees centigrade. Then , too , if the sun possessed heat , and could force it downward to the earth : , there could be no clouds , as the particles of atmosphere known as clouds would be so expanded and at- tenuated by ; the absorbed heat that they could never attain definite shape. On the proven hypothesis that the sun Is a magnet , it cannot be an In- candescent body : , since magnetism Is destroyed by heat. The moon , we know , is a reflector of light without the emission of any accompanying heat. If v.-o thus get our nocturnal light un accompanied by heat , why should we insist ; upon violating the well estab lished laws of heat in its radiations and ; declare the sun to be an incan- descent body , continually In active , . . > . , 5r . - . tI . . . . . . I . . . . because "all the other guys go"-this element Is no longer wanted by those institutions which make a spe- cialty of scholarship. The proposed : change is one of the most wholesome which has been considered in educational circles in a long time. The age demands men who are prepared for its activities. The dullards and the Indifferent ones are rapidly being crowded aside. Their fate may be an unhappy one , but in the race of life it is the fittest who survive. The young boys of to-day should get their eyes open. In this vacation time , if they resolve to throw away that crooked pipe stuck between their teeth , which really adds not one element of respecta- bility , and embrace the opportunities of the next school year with all the vigor which they can command , they will be far happier a twelvemonth hence and be able to surprise themselves and their friends at the extent of the progress made. - Des Moines Capital. WHY HARD TIMES DON'T LAS' * HE chief reason why this country has . emerged so promptly from the slough of T financial and industrial depression is found in the latest report of the Depart- ment of Agriculture. The value of this year's farm products , as estimated by Sec _ - - - retary Wilson is $8,000,000,000 , an increase of 5 per cent over the great record of 1908. The corn crop will reach 3,1G1,174,000 ( bushels , iae spring and winter wheat crops will total 663,500,000 bushels , and there will be 692,933,000 bushels of oats , 183,923,000 bushels of barley , 31,928,000 bushels of rye and 11,250- 000 bales of cotton , not to mention the immense aggre- gate of the lesser crops. . These figures are almost too stupendous to permit a proper realization of what they mean. Farm methods are becoming more scientific , and , therefore , more effi- cient every year ; the average acre will soon be pro- ducing what the average five acres used to produce , and there seems to be no limit set upon the possibilities of developing and increasing the productivity of the soil. The country's potential agricultural resources are be- yond comprehension. Add to them the untold wealth of our mines and our fisheries , and it Is easy to see why actual hard times cannot last for long.-ohio State Journal. TAXATION : OF DEADLY WEAPONS. ONGRESSMAN SISSON of ' Mississippi In- troduced a revenue proposition of merit e that might have prevailed had it been ad- vanced ! earlier in the session. Much : can be said in its favor. It proposed a tax L. 'J upon every deadly weapon. and every car tridge manufactured in this country. This is the practical way of securing the revenue , and on the theory that the consumer always pays the tax , the bur- den would be widely distributed. The schedule calls for a specific -tax of $2 on pistols , dirk knives , sword canes , stilettos , brass or metallic knuckles , and similar weapons , with the addition of 25 per cent ad valorem. On cartridges of 22-caliber or under It proposes a tax of one-eighth of a cent on each cartridge , and on car- tridges over 22-caliber the rate proposed Is one-fifth of 1 cent each. Weapons or cartridges sold to the Federal government or to the various State governments for the militia are exempted from the tax.-Manchester : Union. combustion , requiring inconceivable masses of fuel of some kind to main- tain it , and surrounded on all sides by an immensity of ethereal space of . ' so low a temperature that any radia- tion of heat from the sun must neces sarily be absorbed and neutralized as soon as it should leave the body of the sun ? Why , If heat comes from the sun , Is It as cold on the top of a mountain In the tropics as in the frigid zone ? Now I have come to the point where I must explain where the seem ing heat in the sun's rays comes from , If not from the sun itself. It comes from electricity. Light is the omnipotent force. What is light ? Who is there that knows ? We understand that the Creator , in directing that light first of all should I . . . . - ' -y LOW POWER GENERATOR. be made , intended tq constitute a force superior to all other forces. Light , then , is the great source of terrestrial electricity , magnetism and heat. heat.Whatever Whatever moves is matter. The hu man mind can conceive of nothing else. Neither can it conceive of mo tion without associating it with the idea of an object to be mpved. Hence , light , which moves , is matter. Light thrown upon the sun is re- flected to the earth with a velocity of 186,000 miles per second and re quires about 816-35 minutes to reach the earth. Whatever may be the com- position of the space intervening be- tween the earth and the sun , it must be matter , as nature abhors a vacuum. Give it fts most attenuated form and call It ether , It Is still matter. c I Light passing through this with marvelous speed' must produce every- where enormous friction , and with it electricity and magnetism. : Electric- ity , by the junction of its opposite polarities , evolves heat , and also im parts magnetism to all substances that are capable of being Invested with It. It is electricity , then , that causes heat , and not , as has been thought for ages , direct radiation from the sun. sun.Although Although my theory , when finally worked out , satisfied me admirably , it - not until I had was completed my generator and proved It that I felt justified in speaking of what seemed to be a ruthless uprooting of all pre- conceived Ideas. Believing that the sun's rays produced electricity , I evolved a simple apparatus for utiliz ing it , and I did this so successfully that it is possible to store in a battery' the electricity from the rays of light. -New York World. A Wild Animal Farm. M. F. Kendrick , of Denver , Colo. , has . a farm equipped for the rearing and sale of wild beasts. The enter- prize bears the tkle of the Kendrick Pheasantrles and Wild Game AssocIa- tion. It grew out . of .the novel ex hibit at the City Park in Denver , which Mr. Kendrick maintained en- tirely at his own expense , because of his love for wild game. Many thou sands of dollars yearly ; went to the development of Mr. Kendrick's hobby. What was a fancy has become a sub- stantial business institution. For the first few years only animals native to North America will be reared but eventually lions , tigers , and even elephants will be bred. The farm Is now stocked : with deer , elk , antelope , bears , mountain goats ' , etc. , and 16 acres of ground are utilized . in the venture. Mr. Kendrlck says that It does not cost any more to produce a pound of buffalo or elk than It does of cattle or sheep. Buffalo meat sells at from 50 , cents to $1 a pound , elk meat bring ; ing nearly as much. The association will not lack a market at these prices If zoological parks and game preserves do not take the entire output. The United States government Is taking great Interest in Mr. Kendrick's farm. It will co-operate with him by telling him how to cure or prevent any disease with which he is not fa miliar. - Success Magazine.

Paint Fault It is a common occurrence nowadays to hear a man remark with disgust : I "It is impossible to have good painting done these days ; either the paint is not good or there are no good paint- ers. " This , however , is not true. There is good paint , and there are good paint. ers. But the question is , bringing them together. One cannot expect a satisfactory painting job without pure white lead. There is a way to make sure you are getting pure white lead without test ing it. See that the keg bears Nation- al Lead Company's famous Dutch Boy Painter trademark , which is a positive guarantee of purity. , However , any one can test white lead.

It burned and itched so much that I was compelled to show it to a doctor. He pronounced it ringworm. After trying his different remedies the dis ease increased and went up my arms and to my legs and finally on my face. The burning was something terrible. I went to another doctor who had the reputation of being the best in town. He told me it was eczema. His medi- cine checked the advance of the dis ease. but no further. I finally con- cluded to try the Cuticura Remedies and found relief in the first trial. I continued until I was free from the dls- : ease and I have not been troubled since. C. Burkhart , 236 W.
