was here this week organizing boy
clubs for the corn contest and get-
ting farmers to plant live acres of

adapted for each locality by the
State Agricultural collego. This
is [to demonstrate the actual benefit
of scientific farming, to which
every farmer should pay particular
attention. The breeding of corn
and cotton is a necessity here and
the fact can be illustrated by the
results obtained by going under
the instruction given by this col-
lege to all who sign for it.
The Santa Fe has ordered out
the telephone at this station as well

travel via the moon, the Frisco or
go in automobiles. We wonder if
they will take out the 'phones at
Perry, Guthrie, and larger cities.

The Clipper extends congratula-
tions.
Hawthorne's Mental Sight.
Hawthorne's mental sight in dis-
cerning souls is marvelously penetrat-
ing and accurate, but he finds it so
difficult to give them an adequate
physical embodiment that their very
flesh is spiritualized, and appears to
be brought into the representation
only to give a kind of phantasmal
form to purely mental conceptions.—
E. P. Whipple.
Where Electricity Fails.
Comparative tests of electricity and
pneumatic drills have resulted over-
whelmingly in favor of the latter.
This is a very severe service and the
electric drill does not seem to stand
up under it, and time is constantly
lost in making repairs to the machin-
ery.
Riches of English Dialect.
There are in English dialect about
1,550 words meaning to give a per-
son a thrashing, 1,300 meaning a fool,
1,050 meaning a slattern, and an al-
most innumerable quantity meaning
to die and to get drunk.—Country
Life.
Works Both Ways.
Patient—I hope you will forgive me
for troubling you to come, doctor. I
was wretchedly bad three days ago,
but I am all right now. Doctor—Ah!
the old story; the doctor'n always
sent for too late.—Fliegende Blaetter.
Future for Afghanistan.
Afghanistan at present, as com-
pared with any civilized country, is
very poor, but its mineral wealth, to-
gether with the progressive attitude of
its present ruler, make it certain that
its wealth, and hence its foreign trade,
will inevitably increase. During the
past year its trade with India alone
increased over $0,000,000.
New Fire Escape.
A Swiss engineer has perfected a
new fire-escape, it consists of a series
of folding ladders, attached to window
frames. Each ladder reaches from
one window to the next one below it.
Ry turning a crank on any floor all of
the frames beneath are unfolded in
less thai a minute and form a con-
tinuous lueans of descending to th«
ground.
The Mosquito Family.
The mosquito family is a large one,
as might be suspected. The depart-
ment experts have captured, identified
and classified no less than 125 differ-
ent species. In addition to the simon
pure mosquito there are any number
of counterfeits. Scores of them are
so closely allied to the real thing in
looks, buzz and other characteristics
as to be mistaken by the amateur as
a member of the original family.
Abandoned Farming Lands.
In the state of New York there are
12,000 abandoned farms, representing
an area of 12,000,000 acres and capable
of caring for a population of 250,000.
It is stated that farm lands in that
Btate have decreased $170,000,000 in
value in the last 20 years.—Chicago
Journal.
Music in Sea Shells.
How many children know what
causes the booming sound in a sea
sh'ill when it is placed against the
ear? The hollow, polished inner parts
of the shell catch all the sounds about
it and echo them, muffled in a meas-
ure. A sea shell is therefore an in-
strument of the delusive spirit, Echo.
Use for Red Clover.
For clover brushes, which give
a pleasant odor to the closet, gather
the red clover with long stems, and
while still pliant tie the stems close
to the flowers with a cord. Plait the
stems and tie at the end with narrow
ribbon.
Region of Sponge Divers.
In many of the Green islands div-
ing for sponges forms a considerable
part of the occupation of the inhabi-
tants. The natives make it a trade
to gather these, and their income
from this source is far from contemp-
tible.
Busy British Bees.
The average weight of honey taken
from an English hive annually is 50
pounds. This is double the average
product from American bee hives.
The record taken from any hive is
1,000 pounds, from a stock of Cyp-
rians.
The Fool and His Laughs.
"The fool," wrote Rurne-Jones in
one of his letters, "has three laughs.
He laughs at what is good, he laughs
at what is bad and he laughs at what
he does not understand."
Firefly's Brilliant Light.
The larger kind of West Indian fire-
fly gives a light so brilliant that by
it printed matter may read at a dis-
tance of two or three inches.
So Comforting!
She—"Your last book was a suc-
cess, wasn't it?" He—"Yes." She—
"The reviews were so unfavorable I
was almost tempted to read it."—Life
