INTEREST TAKEN IN STATE JOHN CLUBS Boys of Schools Organized and Promote Growth of Excellent Corn.

During the past year, Superintendent II. L. Rogers of the Pulaski County pubfic schools has conducted his fourth county corn contest. Mr. Rogers has been doing splendid work with the corn club boys, and this year his efforts have been awarded greater success than attained in any previous year. A few weeks ago Z. M. Smith, assistant In Boys' and Girls' club work, Purdue university, co-operating with the United States Department of Agriculture, spent three days with Mr. Rogers and assisted him in measuring the plots and weighing the corn of the club members. Mr. Smith has received letters from township trustees, school superintendents, corn club boys and their parents, and all are united in their praise of the work that the clubs are doing in Pulaski county. Mr. J. M. Kress, president of the County Board of Education, says, "The work of the Boy's Corn club in Pulaski county is meeting with the approval of the citizens. It has created a greater interest in the farm, and has inbpired many boys and men to be better farmers. The recent exhibit attracted more attention than anything of its kind ever held in the county. I am sure the corn club is a good thing, and I sincerely hope it will be continued." Mr. John Capouch, trustee, Cass township, wrote: "Corn club work in Pulaski county has been a success. We now have our boys and girls thinking, and their parents as well. As a result we have an increase in corn production all ocer the county." Superintendent F. A. Ogle, who has been interested in the work from the first and who is doing much for agriculture and country life in the Star City schools, says: "A common expression among the farmers since the recent Industrial Exhibit at Winamac, is, 'This is the best thing that ever production all over the county." "My experience," says Mr. Ogle, "leads me to believe that the boys do better school work than they did before they took up the club work. It is never a burden for a real teacher to do anything for the boys and girls that will benefit them and add to the usefulness of the school. Some of my very best supplementary work has been done by boys who became interested in the reference bulletins, circulars, and other material provided for the club work." Mr. Ogle believes that "the club work established a common interest, which puts the teacher on a working lasis with the patrons of the school. Many patrons come to school and talk over school work after they find that the teacher is interested in the problems on the farm." Amusements At the Murray. Vaudeville Matinee and Night. The Murray. The current bill at the Murray continues to draw large audiences which Is perhaps the best indorsement as to the sterling quality of the offering. Christmas afternoon and night proved to be a time when amusement lovers Were out iu full force. Each and every one of the rive acts were well received and satisfied patrons were in evidence. The offering will remain for the balance of the week. "The White Squaw." "The White Squaw" Delia Clarke's romantic drama, which manager O. G. Murray will present at the Gennett on Saturday, matinee and night, strikes a distinctly higher note than the average comedy-drama. The scene Is laid in the backwoods of Michigan and the time is supposed to be 1820, but the play is constructed on a human back-ground which, in its exhibition of emotions and passions, is not confined to time nor place. The chief tnerit of the production lies in the laying bare of the heart of Neamata, a young girl of European parentage, who has been brought up in an Indian wigwam, and believes herself to be Of savage descent. Her love is entirely BTry This Ho me 'Made Cough Remedy I )! Coats Little, But Does the Work Quickly, or Money ltefnaded.

It Seems to Be a Cross Between the Horse, Cow and Deer, Did you ever hear of a horned horse? It is called the gnu and is a native of South Africa. The gnu is a puzzle. We have called it a horse, but it is more like a cow. It really seems to be a cross between the horse, the cow and the deer. It has the head and horns of a cow, the tail, the mane and withers of the horse and the legs of a deer. Altogether the gnu is oue of the most singular creatures on earth. The gnu inhabits the hilly districts of South Africa, roaming all over the country in vast herds. As far as travelers have yet penetrated it is found, and it is fortunate that it is so, for the flesh of the gnu forms exi-elleut food. Umis are. however, extremely wild and, being very quick in their movements, are difficult to shoot. Upon the first alarm the whole herd scampers away in single file, following a leader. When seen from n distance they look like a troop of horses. Their speed is very great, and when first disturbed they do not exert it, but kick out their heels and begin butting at anything that comes in their way, exhibiting the greatest fury. Unless hard pressed they seldom show fight, but when brought to bay they will defend themselves desperately. They dart forward upon their enemy with great fury, and unless he remains cool and collected he probably will not escape. STEALING A RAILROAD. Not In a Financial Way, but by Carrying It Off Bodily. No stranger theft was ever committed than the "lifting' of an entire railroad, twelve and one-half miles In length, which once connected Birr and rortumna. in Ireland. The line had cost $450,000, and for years it did service for the Great Southeru and Western Railway company until the year 1STG. when the company, which had been running it at a loss, washed its hands of It. The line was derelict. Nobody wanted it. Tor a few years it stretched its useless length through uorth Tipperary. Then its neighbors began to turn covetous eyes on it. Bolts and screws and other portable trifles began to vanish. A few prosecutions were instituted, but the charges were withdrawn. Nobody seemed to care. The thieves, thus encouraged, grew bolder. Farmers brought their carts and horses and loaded them with spoils of rails, sleepers, switches and semaphores. One goodly station vanished, to its last brick and door, in a single night. They were great times for Tipperary. Boatloads of booty, hundreds of tons of rails, were sent away from Tortumna by unlicensed "contractors," and the work of spoliation went on until not as much as a turntable was left. Argonaut. Dickens' Den. Dickens' crre for his material surroundings did not end with his bedroom. His favorite writing place at Gadshill was a Swiss chalet in the shrubbery, and this he fitted up in a most ingenious fashion. "I have put mirrors in the chalet where I write," he says in one of his letters, "and they reflect and refract in all kinds of ways the leaves that are quivering at the windows and the great fields of waring corn aud the sail dotted river. My room is up among the branches of the trees, and the birds and the butterflies fly in and out. and the green branch shoot in at the open windows, and the lights and the shadows of the clouds come and go with the rest of the company. The scent of the flowers and indeed of everything that is growing for miles and miles is most delicious." London Chronicle. Judging the Colt. The Arabs have two methods of estimating the height to which a colt will grow, the first being to stretch a cord from the nostril over the ears and down along the ne-k and compare this measurement with that from the withers to the feet and the other method lieiug to compare the distance between the knee and the withers with that from the knee to the coronet. In the first method it is considered that a colt will grow as much taller as the first measurement exceeds that of the second, and in the second method, if the proportion is as two to one, the horse will grow no taller.

LIBERAL SPENDER WILL JEARRESTED Sewell Tells Police Chief He Wants to Be Jailed on January 1st.

(Palladium Special) EDMONTON', Alta, Dec. 26. James Sewell, citizen of the world, from "Anywhere," as he is registered in a down town hotel, where he has an expensive suits, notified Chief of Police Carpenter today that he will join the prisoners at the city jail at the New Year's dinner. Here is part of his note: "I intend to keep sober until 8:30 o'clock the last night of the year, and then I'll 'light up' for fair. I'll make the Great White Way look like a dark alley on a rainy night. Some policeman will arrest me and I'll be with the other banqueters amid surroundings that few care to cultivate. Last year the police at Seattle did the honors. It was the fifteenth time I have been arrested in various parts of America on the eve of my great day." Sewell has been all over the United States and is now on a tour of the dominion. He appears to have plenty of money and is a liberal spender. So far he has been successful in concealing his identity, if that is his purpose. But, as his business with the banks is conducted in that name, it is reasonable to presume it is not assumed. He was one of the first to join the Order of Good Fellows, which is cooperating this year with the United Aids of Edmonton, in providing Christmas cheer for several hundred children, his identity being disclosed by his check. He has also purchased a supply of dolls and toys for distribution on Christmas eve. CONSTIPATION CORRECTED.

"Looking for possible love letters and mementos?" a visitor asked. "No; breadcrumbs," said the librarian. "Subsequent readers do not mind love letters, but they do object to breadcrumbs. Half the books brought back have crumbs tucked away between the leaves. That shows what a studious town we are. Our people are so enamored of literature that they can't stop reading long enough to eat; also it shows what a lonely town we are. Only people who live alone a great deal read anything except the newspaper at mealtime. And it shows what a slovenly town we are. In the interests of hygiene and aesthetics those voracious readers who cram their heads aud their stomachs at the same time ought to clean their books of crumbs, but they never do." New York Press. Hindu Caste. The four grades of society among the Hindus are the Brahmans or sacerdotal class, who are said at the moment of creation to have issued from the mouth of Brahma; the Kshatrya or Chuttsee or military class, sprung from the arm of Brahma; the Vaisya or Bais or mercantile class, from the thigh of Brahma, and Sudras or Sooders or servile class, from the foot of Brahma. The business of the Sudras is to serve the three superior classes, more especially the Brahmans. Their condition is never to be improved. They are not to accumulate property and are unable by any means to approach the dignity of the higher classes. These divisions are hereditary, impassable and indefeasible. Precedent for "Governess." Albert VII.. archduke of Austria, married Isabella Clara Eugenie, infanta of Spain, who brought to him as dowry the sovereignty of the Low Countries, etc. When Philip IV. of Spain ascended the throne in 1021 he took from his aunt the sovereignty of the Low Countries, but left her the title of governess. Her husband died soon after, whereon she took the veil, though still retaining the reins of government. She died at Brussels in 1033. aged sixty-six. nere there is precedent for the use of the word governess when a lady holds the postLondon Notes and Queries. Franklin on Long Graces.

If two are a few. why not three; if three, why not four, and by a gradually advancing increment of number why not 10.000, or any other number? Or, again, if the loss of a single hair does not make a man bald, why should the loss of two, of three, and so on, and inferentially the loss of all? If. then, no addition or subtraction of a unit can transform a small number of wheat grains into a henp or a full head of hair into a bald head, how is it possible that either transition should ever be accomplished? Take a grain of millet out of a bushel and let it fall on the ground, and it makes no noise. Take every grain In succession of 10.000. let the same happen, and no sound Is heard. Then collect all the grains back into the bushel and pour it out, and the result is a great noise. How, asks Zeno. can 10,000 noiseless processes make one full of noise? Honors at College. "What was your son's social standing In college?" "Oh, very fair. Why, he almost got into the Gibber and Squeak society!" "Indeed! now was that?" "Why, you know they always hit them on the back as a sign they have been selected, and George was hit on the back with such force that it knocked him down." "Mercy!" "Yes, Indeed. lie thought of course he had been chosen, but he found out afterward it was the class bully who hit him because he didn't like the set of his collar. But even that's a great honor."

PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH.

Descendants of the Germans Who Cam j to This Country In 1682. To most Americans the word "Dutch"' means German. The Dutch are Hollanders from the Netherlands. New York was first settled by the Dutch from Holland.

The first Germans came to this coun-!den3

try in 1082 and settled at Germantown. It is estimated that the Germans aud their descendants in Pennsylvania numbered 100.000 at the time of our I revolution. The descendants of these are called the Pennsylvania Germans or Dutch. The word Dutch is a corruption of Deutsch. meaning German. The early Germans were followers of Menno Simons, known as Menuonltes. They were persecuted in their own country on account of their religious belief and when Peun offered religious liberty It was gladly accepted by them. The persecuted Germans came largely from the Rhenish paiatinate, Wurtemberg. from the lower Rhine, Alsace, Saxony and Switzerland. The southeastern counties of Pennsylvania, such as Lancaster. York. Berks and Lebanon, were chosen for settlement. x nese settlers spoke a variety of dialects, and. owing to seg -j regation in religious communities, they clung to their mother tongue. English words have since crept in aud as a result we have the somewhat picturesque language known as the "Pennsylvania Dutch." Their religious belief and their common interest have preserved this class with singular purity. Philadelphia Ledger. OLD TALLY STICKS. Their Use In England Was Abolished With Disastrous Results. In the museum attached to the standards department of the board of trade, in Old Palace yard, London, a box containing a number of the old exchequer tally sticks, upon which, until an early period in tbe last century. It was the custom to keep the national accounts. The tallies were notched sticks of seasoned willow or hazel, the notch on the edge representing the particular amount the smallest for pence, a larger notch for shillings and the largest for pounds. The system, which was first Introduced by the Normans in the year 1006, was not finally abolished until the reign of William IV., and then only 'with disastrous results. An order was promulgated that the accumulated tallies, amounting to many thousands, were to be destroyed, and they were accordingly burned in one of the stoves in the house of lords. By some means or other the stove became choked, the paneling caught fire, and in the end the whole of the palace of Westminster, with the exception of Westminster hall, was destroyed. Some years ago a number of these old tally sticks were discovered In Martin's bank, in Lombard street. New York Tribune. BIRTH OF A LETTER. The Way "W" Came to Take the Place of the Old "VV." The printers and language makers of the latter part of the sixteenth cen tury began to recognize the fact that there was a sound in spoken English which was without a representative in the shape of an alphabetical sign or character, as in the first sound in the word "wet." Prior to that time it had always been spelled as "vet," the v haviug the long sound of u or of two u's together. In order to convey an idea of the new sound they began to spell such words as "wet," "weather." "web," etc., with two u's. and as the u of that date was a typical v the three words above looked like this: "Vvet," "weather," "web." After awhile the typefounders recognized the fact that the double u had come to stay, so they joined the two u's together and made the character now so well known as w. There are books in which three forms of the w are given. The first is an old double v (w; the next Is one in which the last stroke of the lirst v crosse the first stroke of the second, and the third is tbe common w we use todar.

Some years ago a publishing house was preparing to issue a new edition of the writings of Thoreau. writes Charles S. Olcott In Art and Progress. Tbe bead of the bouse and a member of his staff were In consultation about the method of Illustration. It was agreed that the pictures must be true to nature, but how to get them was the problem. Artists who do book illustrating could not be expected to go Into the woods and make pictures which would in any way assist the text to reveal nature as Thoreau saw It. Photographs would be admirable, but where was the professional photographer to be found who would undertake to go into Thoreau's country In sunshine and rain. In summer and winter, to catch all tbe phases of nature which Thoreau recorded in bis "Journal?" While tbe two men pondered a caller sat In the outer office with a large portfolio under bis arm. Five years before he had read Thoreau's "Journal" aud had taken up his residence in Concord that he might visit the scenes there described. In all seasons and all kinds of weather he had wandered through tbe woods and over tbe fields with his camera. Passionately fond of nature, he was no less devoted to art. To him photography was a pastime It was not his profession. For the pure love of nature and of art and with no thought of pecuniary gain he bad accomplished the very feat which the two business men had thought so difficult, and by a curious coincidence be appeared at the office to exhibit the result of his work at the precise moment when its desirability was being discussed.
