A Regular Polyglot.

A gentlemail in a rural district drew down upon his head a storm of adverse criticism by marrying a second wife shortly after the demise of his first Two of those good ladles who look generally upon the surface of things, and who are over-ready with condemnation, were discussing the disgraceful affair. “Why, my dear, there’s his poor wife hardly cold in her grave, and he goes and marries another.” “Dreadful P’ declared the other; "I never heard of such a thing.” “I should think not indeed,” went on number one angrily. “Marrying wife after wife like that—why, the man’s a regular polyglot!*—Cornhill Magazine.

France’s New President.

Kilts in the Mosquito Season.

Out of the 400 men required for the Victorian Scottish regiment only sixtyfour have been enrolled, and on the third occasion of receiving applicants only eleven entered their names. So bare legs during the coming mosquito season are too much for the Victorian Scotsmen’s endurance.—South Australian Critic.

Interesting to Farmers.

The' item of Binder Twine is something of importance to farmers at this time of the year. The offer of the John M. Smyth Co., <*£ Chicago, made elsewhere in this paper, to furnish Binder Twine to the farmers of the West is well Worth considering. To purchase Binder Twine in this way at the rates offered by the John M. Smyth Co. will save the farmers thousands of dollars this season.

EDWARD ATKINSON.

Noted Economist Who Has Come Into Conflict with the Government* Edward Atkinson, the celebrated Boston economist who by his anti-imperial propaganda has come into conflict with the Federal Government, has for years been famous as a writer on economic topics. He is a native of Brookline, Mass., Is 72 years old and lives in Boston. Mr. Atkinson is vice-president of the AntiImperialist League and is really at the he|d of the -objectors to the administration’s Philippine policy. He has preached the .anti-expansion policy and has sent circulars to the soldiers in the Philippines. Mr. Atkinson, m his pamphlet, urges “ths

youth of the land to avoid disease in the tropics by refusing to enlist or volunteer in the army or navy of the United States,” and goes on to say that “the way will be found for the volunteers, now held against their will, to get their release from unlawful service.” These circulars have been pronounced seditious and traitorous by President McKinley and his cabinet, who say the purpose of the anti-imperialists is to incite mutiny among the soldiers, thus interfering With the Government’s work, and to foment insurrection among the Filipinos. The circulars were seized at San Francisco by order of the Postmaster General.

SPRUNG PLOWING VERY LATE.

Result of Returns Furn'ohed to the Department of Aacriculture. The May returns to the statistician of the Department of Agriculture show the acreage in winter wheat in cultivation on May 1 to have been about 25,900,000 acres. This is about 4,000,000 acres less than the area estimated to have been sown last fall, but it still slightly exceeds the area of winter wheat harvested last year. The reduction in acreage in the principal States, as compared with the area seeded last fall, is as follows: Kansas, 868,000; Illinois, 761,000; Indiana, 894,000; Missouri, 345,000; Texas, 227,000; Ohio, 149,OOO; Nebraska, 144,000; Michigan, 128,000; Wisconsin, 120,000; Tennessee, 105,000. The condition in the principal States, after reducing the acreage as indicated, is as follows: Pennsylvania, 86; Maryland, 83; Virginia, 78; Texas, 67; Tennessee, 78; Kentucky, 76; Ohio, 82; Michigan, 60; Indiana, 68; Illinois, 54; Missouri, 65; Kansas, 64; California, 96; Oklahoma, 86. Spring plowing is unusually late in almost every part of the country. The work already done is estimated at 57 J per cent of the total contemplated. . The proportion usually done by May 1 is about 75 per cent of the whole.

A CONFERENCE ON TRUSTS.

Four Days’ Session to Be Held in Chicago This Summer. A national conference on trusts and cpmbinations will be held in Chicago during the coming summer. The Civic Federation of the city has been fostering the scheme for some time. The plan is to gather together a body of men from all sections of the country who will reflect the views of labor, commerce, political economy, law, trade, and in fact of all the varied industrial, educational and professional elements on the latest and greatest of national questions. The intention is to hold a four days’ conference, one day being devoted to railroad combinations, one to labor organizations, one to industrial combinations and one to remedies and to methods of procedure. One of the most important questions to be discussed will be that involving the jurisdiction of the various States and the Federal Government in the disposition of this issue. The courts have held both ways, and if light is needed on any point the investigators of the trust say it is this one. For this reason the Governors and Attorneys General of all the States will be asked to be present to give their views.

WIND AND WATER RAGE.

Kansas* Oklahoma and Nebraska Towns Seriously Damaged. Tornadoes swept the Kansas towns of Coldwater, Lexington and Ashladd Tuesday night. In Coldwater a dozen houses were wrecked. Joseph Bowers was killed and a half dozen persons were injured. Aldrich’s general store was wrecked, brick block on Main street blown down. The Presbyterian Church was blown away and the court house was unroofed. A terrible windstorm in Ellis County picked up a stretch of wire fence a quarter of a mile long, carried it three miles and wrapped It securely around the steeple of the Mungor Catholic Church. A great amount of rain, amounting almost to a deluge, fell Tuesday night in northwestern Nebraska, from which no fatalities have resulted so far as can be heard, but which has destroyed a considerable amount of property, especially on lowland farms, the Chicago, St. Paul and Minneapolis and Omaha and the Pacific Short Line railways being also large losers. The town of Homer was the principal sufferer. At Winnebago agency the storm was accompanied by enormous hail.

Important to Fammers.

There is a proposition made in the advertising columns of this paper by the John M. Smyth Co. of Chicago to furnish Standard and Sisal Binder Twine direct to farmers at eight cents a pound. This means a saving of thousands of dollars to the farmers of the West who use a great deal of binder twine during the harvesting season. As there is a time limit to the offer, farmers should send in their orders before June 1, when the limit expires and after which it is not certain orders can be filled at this price. This proposition of the John M. Smyth Company for money saving is well worth considering. The firm is certainly one of the most extensive as well as most reliable in the United States.

The Quezzel, a Bird of Liberty.

On all the postage stamps of Gustofnala is engraved a somewhat distorted representation of the quezzel, which is rightly called the bird of liberty, .as it dies almost immediately when captured. So extreme is its love of freedom that if captured and In a few seconds restored to liberty it would seem as If the contamination of the hand could not be removed, and it will drop lifeless after flying but a few yards. If it is caught in a trap it is always found dead, and when’the young are taken from the nest they die at once. It is found only in a small portion of the country, and Is seldom seen live, since it cannot be kept long in captivity. It is a bird of beautiful plumage, having two extremely long tall feathers and a superbly crested head. It is said that its pride in its tail feathers is greater than its love of life, for if one of them accidentally becomes broken the bird goes to its nest and dies from grief and mortification. It builds a round-roofed nest, having two holes on opposite sides, so that the quezzel literally "goes in at one door and out at the other,” and thus avoids any necessity for tail-breaking, and consequent heartbreaking, by never turning around in order to make its exit from the nest.
