An exchange eave: In Mr. Bellamy’s paradise of “Equality,” every adult citizen will draw $4, 000 a year, and at forto-five will be exempt from work. That settles it. We are for Bellamy for president to the finish of the fight. Why tax the dogs and allow the cat* to go free? No dog eyer bark »s loud on a dark night as any ordinary scrub tom cat can yell. Then there is something of comfort in the sound ot a hound baying the moon, but in the music of a cat fight —never. Change the tax. It is unjust. John Watka a Creek Indian, was executed Sunday according to their customs at Chelsea, Indian Territory. He played ball during the summer and could have escaped should he so desired, as all condemned to death are allowed to go of their own accord until the time ot execution. The chainless bicycle will be placed on the market next year and when the beauty of them is seen, the persons who purchased wheels this year will wish they had waited. This new bicycle promises to discount any bicycle yet offered for sale. That a strong effort will be made to make the chainless wheel the proper mount for 1898 is un-

doubted, according to the New \ork Telegram, but a very limited number of manutacturers will be able to supply them. As a consequence there will be a contest between the manufacturers and agents of chainless wheels and those of the present patterns. Unsuspecting country farmersand their wives are being swindled out of various amounts of money lately by a couple of individuals who represent themselves as being sent out by the boards of health with instructions to examine into the conditions of water used on farms. They make the examinations, find microbes in the well water, and, examining further, find bacteria lurking everywhere. Then the horrified farmer and his wife see visions of all manner of contagious disease, and the swindlers succeed in selling them quantities of so-called disinfectants, price and amount of goods governed by the fright of the parties approached. They have worked many parts of the country and have done a profitable business. A copy of the general order issued by Postmaster-General Gary, has been sent to all the postoffices in the country. The order, which explains itself, forbids many things which are commonly done by offixe employes. The order is as follows. “Clerks and other employes are forbidden to solicit, in person or through others, contributions of money, gifts as presents, to issue addresses, commentary cards, prints, publications or any substitute therefor intended or calculated to induce the public to make gifts or presents; to sell tickets for theaters, concerts, balls, fairs, picnics, excursions to places of amusements or

entertainments of any kind; to borrow money or to contract debts of which they have no reasonable prospect of being able to pay.” The following is an exact copy of a letter received by a young lady, who, possessing a piano and being about to move to a small country town, advertised for room and board with a family “musically inclined:*’ “Deare Miss, we think we can sute you with a room and bord if you preefer to be where there is musick, I play the fiddle, my wife theorgin, my dotter Jule theakordion, my other dotter the bango, my son Hen the gittar, my son Jim the Hoot and koronel, an’ my son Clem the base drum, while all of us sings gospel hims in which we would be glad to have you take part both vocal and instrumental if you play on anything. We play by ear an’ when we all git started there is real musick in the air. Let us know if you want to come here to bord;” —Harper’s Bazar. Less than a generation ago cotton seed was a nuisance. It accumulated about the gin houses as kulm does about a coal mine. Streams were clogged with it. It rotted in the fields. It was a nuisance in every way Now it is worth 130,000,000 a year, “Every bale ot cotton” a writer says, “leaves a legacy of half a ton of seed, which, it is said, brings the planter nearly as much as his cotton. The oil is used for finer grades of soap, as a substitute for lard, and is so near olive oil that an expert can hardly detect the difference. The hulls are fed to cattle, make an excellent fuel, are valuable as paper stock and when burned the ashes make a fertilizer which is most efficacious. It has recently been discovered that cot tonseed oil, with the addition of 18 per cent, of crude rubber, makes an imitation which cannot be distinguished from genuine rubber.” “Is there a man in the audience” fiercely exclaimed a female lecturer, “that has done anything to lighten the burdens on his wife’s shoulder? What do they know of woman’s work? Is there a man here,” she continued, folding her arms and looking over the audience with superb scorn, “that has ever got np in the morning, leaving his tired, worn out wife to enjoy her slumber, gone quickly down stairs, made the fire, cooked his breakfast- sewed the missing buttons on the children’s clothes, darned the family stockings, scoured the pots, filled the lamps, swept the kitchen and done all the rest, if necessary, day after day uncomplaining? If there is such a man in the audience let him rise up” And in the rear ot the hall a mild looking man in spectacles, in obedience to the summons, timidly arose. He was the husband of the eloquent speaker. It was the first time he had a chance to assert himself.—Ex. Our distinguished secretary of agriculture has made a big discovery. He has learned that the British appe’ite for the American hog is not so ravenous as it is for the Canadian or Danish porkers. He says the American hog is too fat. Queen Victoria’s subjects want bacon with a streak of fat and a streak of lean, and for such side-meat they pay from 15 to 17 cents per pound, while the American farmer must be content with 7 or 8 cents for his bacon. The secretary announces that “corn ted hogs won’t do tor the rich British market.” He neglects to state what diet should be given the U. S. hog to produce the right kind of flesh for the British appetite, but recommends the importation of Tamworth boars. . The Tamworth breed is a slow grower, but whether he eats corn or baker’s bread the secretary does not state. Our farmers have been endeavoring to improve their bogs and have been trying to get hardy, rapid growers that are ready for market in six or nine months. They have evidently been on the wrong track according to Secretary Wilson. What is wanted for export is the old elm-peeler and razor-back with a streak of lean and a streak of fat covering his royal ribs which alone satisfies his royal nibs. Free of Charge to Sufferer*.
