The most peculiar thing about a
weather prophet is his ability to
make himself believe a prediction
after lie has missed eleven in suc
cession.—Cedar Rapids Gazette.
A California woman, Miss Mabel
Adams Aver of San Francisco, lias
succeoded in training a number of
butterflies. Sugar and water are
tho inducements and the little
winged pets go through quite a few
performances.
Edwin II. Conger, United States
minister at Pekin, is said to expect
to return home the middle of next
year, noUto return to the orient. It
lias been intimated that ho may be
appointed to represent the United
States in Mexico.
The senate of the fifty-eighth con
gress will go down in history as
having witnessed an unprecedented
number of its members accused of
crime. Three senators have been
indicted for the use of influence to
control govrenmental action, for
which they are accused of having
accepted compensation. These are
Charles II. Dietrich of Nebraska,
Joseph It. Burton of Kansas and
John II. Michell of Oregon
Wills Proved by Testator.
An important change in tho pro
bate ol' wills has been suggested to
the Indiana commission appointed
to revise the laws of that state.
The innovation contemplates the
proving of a will while the testator
is living, in order to prevent a con-,
test after his death. The proposed
act provides that a person may,
after giving notice to his heirs, go
into court and have his will estab
lished. The document may be
either probated openly in court,
with its provisions made public, or
it may be proved without the con
tents being known by the document
being authenticated by the signa
ture of the judge and the seal of the
court,' The proceeding is in no
sense compulsory. The legislation
!s favored by lawyers, who Tielieve
that the sanctity of wills would be
preserved if they could be proved
in the presence of the testator.
Half a dozen veteran congressmen
were telling stories in a committee
room the other afternoon when one
of the number recalled how "Dave"
Henderson of Iowa escaped being
fined $5,000 while the Mills tariff
bill was under discussion. It had
fyftwv ipaintaiii a quorum
and the house directed the sergeant
at arms to compel the presence of
absent members. One by one they
were brought in and on one pretext
or another were allowed to go un
punished. At midnight Henderson
was brought before the speaker.
He declared he had no excuse to
offer, whereupon another Iowa man
moved that he be fined $5,000.
Half a hundred seconds were imme
diately heard. Speaker Carlisle put
tlie motion and about 200 voices
yelled "aye." Then the speaker
called for the noes, and Henderson
in agonized tones alone responded.
"The noes have it," gravely said the
speaker,' "and the gentleman is ex
cused."
Growth of Independent Voting.
Upon one thing the country is to
be congratulated. It was on both
sides chiefly a campaign of appeal
to the mind and convictions of the
voters, and there was greater indi
cation than ever before that the
American citizen is thinking for
himself and acting with freedom
from p^rty trammel and prejudice.
However true it may be that in
country like ours two permanent
and well organized parties are neces
sary, it cannot be too boldly said
that even more necessary is the
freedom of intelligent voters, not
merely to fluctuate between parties,
but to vote according to their con
victions, from time to time, about
individual men and particular
measures. In a recent campaign,
the freedom of the voters expressed
itself in their action regarding ti
public measure,—namely, the rnone
tary standard. In the election of
last month, on the other hand, tho
freedom of the voters expressed it self
preference for a man. It was not
that the voters were repudiating
Jtidge Parker,* for whom they en
tertained a courteous and kindly
feeling (except as this feeling may
have changed on account of his
charges at the end ol the campaign)
but rather that they were indorsing
Mr. Roosevelt and his administra
tion. Judge Parker early on elec
tion evening sent the President the
following well-expressed telegram:
The people by their votes have
emphatically approved your ad
ministration, and I congratulate
you."
This, of course, was the true way to
interpret the result. It was an in
dorsement of the President, and a
vote of full confidence in his public
views and official policies. Further
than th»t, however, tho vote was an
enthusiastic tribute to Theodore
Roosevelt, the man and the citizen.
It there had been nothing else to
turn the scale, that very consider
able element of the young voters
casting their first ballot in a Presi
dential year would have assured the
result. The President's hold upon
the young men of the country is not
confined to any one class. Strong
as it is in the schools and colleges,
it is probably still stronger on the
farmand in the workshop.—From
"The Progress of the World,"in the
American Monthly Review of Re
views for December.

Gigantic Corn Crcp
The state of Iowa has raised this
year 300,000,000 bushels of corn.
Talk about gold mines! We would
like to know if this is not one? This
crop is worth, to sell by the bushel,
not less than $100,000,000. Fed
out, as most of it will be, it is worth
more than §125,000,000. It would
require 450,000 freight cars of a
rapacity of GGG bushels each to
transport it. These cars, if connect
ed, would reach a distance of 3,500
miles. But only a small part of it
will seek a market in this way. It
will go to market iu refrigerator
cars as fine creamery butter, in stock
cars filled with fat steers and hogs.
It will go to market in egg cases
and Christmas turkeys, as syrup,
cornstarch and other forms. It
would, if made into whisky, keep
the people of common wealth drunk
for forty years. It will pay mort
gages, beautify homes, educate the
boys and girls end allow of a plane
of living among its producers hardly
reached by any other people of the
world. And most of it was stolen
from the sun and the sun left nono
the poorer. Corn in Egypt was all
right in its day, but corn in Iowa
beats it. Any county in the state
could feed all the tribes, of the He
brews. The Work is about dona

Winter Fosd For Poultry.
The approach of winter calls for a
few thoughts regarding, the proper
food our fowls will need for egg pro
duction. Hundreds of methods are
advanced, and the majority of them
have merit, says M. K. Boyer, in
Poultry Journal. There are several
well-balanced commercial foods
upon the market that are excellent
But it is not always convenient to
secure foods, therefore, we can reco
mend the following-bill of fare:
Buy twenty-five pounds each of
bran, middlings, corn meal and
ground oats also fifteen pounds of
meat scraps or ground meat and
five pounds of oil .meal. Mix
all thoroughly and place in a barrel
for use. If your flocks consume a
bucket of mash at a meal, let half
that amount be cooked clover hay,
and the other half ground feed as
above. Mix the grain and hay
thoroughly while hot. Feed: for
breakfast warm.
Now for caution: Do not feed all
the fowls can eat for breakfast.
Give them just enough to partly
satisfy them, otherwise they will not
exercise until they again become
hungry. We make it a half meal
that is, half the quantity we would
give were it a night feed.
We prefer a morning mash to that
given at night, for several reasons
First. The food is in such a con
dition that it is quickly assimilated
and therefore will do the most good

BEDS AND BEDDING.
9omehfnnr Tlint Should Alirayi G*t
Curcftil
Attention.
No part of housekeeping sliould be
tnore sharply looked after than that
which has to do with beds and bed
ling. Everything about bed Bhould
oo aired thoroughly every day, nud ev
erything should be kept up to the top
notch of cleanliness.
Mattresses sfiould be dusted dnily,
for dust seems to go to them and cling
to them ns if by some curious law of
attraction. They should be thoroughly
gone over—taken apart and cleaned in
side nil out, that Is—at least once in
three .vonrs, oftcner if possible. Every
good housekeeper cleans bed, springs
oni mattress ns regularly as nny other
port of her house, but comparatively
few realize how Important it Is to have
their mattresses opened and cleaned
periodically.
Yet dust and dirt sift through tick
ing and collect in an alarming way.
Men who manipulate those cleaning
machines "pickers" say that dust
from a single mattress filling comes
out in thick clouds during the opera
tion of cleaning.
Blankets should be aired ns persist
ently as mattresses—aired and shaken
vigorously every day.
The best kind of blankets to buy
varies with the buyer. All wool are
usually considered the best, but blan
kets with a cotton warp and wool "fill
ing" stand home cleaning better than
those made of all wool.
A WIFE'S ALLOWANCE.
The Method Which One Woman Sara
Solve* the Problem.
Much has been written about the
wife's allowance, but I believe that my
husband has found the simplest solu
tion of the problem. He is a profes
sional man, so his iucome is very irreg
ular, and no regular sum is set aside
for household expenses. The money Is
njl placed in the bank in his name, but
the bank officials have orders to accept
my check for any amount he has on
deposit. Whenever any money is need
ed .for household or personal expenses
I simply draw on the deposit, marking
tke checks with "H" for house or "P"
for personal expenses. When any arti
cle costing a considerable sum Is put*
chased it is paid for with a separate
check and the check so marked. He
does the same, and no questions arc
ever asked ns to what the money was
UBed for. The only account we keep of
expenditures is the canceled checks
which are returned «ach month by the
bank. We have always lived within
our income and saved something each
year.—Good Housekeeping.
HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
^Kerosene oil and a soft cloth will
mahogany furniture In Que con
dition.
An alcohol lamp or a heating con
trivance on a gas Jet Is handy in the
bedroom.
To make a low room look higher let
the curtalijs hang to the floor. Short
curtains make the room look lower
than it is.
Fine tablecloths should be frequent
ly changed, so that they do not become
much soiled, «hus preventing the ne
cessity of rubbing them to remove soil
aud stains. This rule holds with all
fine linens.
When dusting use a slightly damp
cloth, for it will gather up and hold
the dust far better than a dry one.
This plan, however, should not be fol
lowed In the case of black nolished
furniture, as the damp cloth frequent
ly gives it a smeared appearance
A Soft ESC.
Miss Farmer's book, "Food nnd Cook
ery For the Sick," gives directions for
preparing a soft egg which
it
quickly digests and thus, when fed
at night, leaves the fowls' with
empty crops before morning, causing
more or less suffering from cold,
which is not the case when the crop
is full of grain. We have tried the
different methods, and found the
morning mash to be superior.
About noon.wo throw a "half-feed"
of wheat or hulled oats among a lot
of littor in a scratching shed, for
five days in the week, and on the re
maining two days we give green cut
bone.
At night we give all the grain
they will eat up clean. We use a
mixture of equal parts of wheat and
cracked corn, and add sunflower
seed, barley and buckwheat when
we can get them. Grit and cracked
oyster shell are constantly within
reach.
After fully twenty years experi
ment we have found the above bill
of fare excellent for laying stock.
Green food is scarce in the winter
and therefore cut clover hay comes
in an excellent substitute. Cooked
vegetables are also good, so long as
they are not fed to excess. They
are generally of a fattening nature,
and also cause considerable bowel
trouble. It is better to cut up
the vegetables to -the size of corn
arid feed raw.—Farmers Trrffane.
1 Good ClotheH.
A desire for good clothes these days
Is no longer regarded lis vanity. It is
fin indication rather of common sense.
Almost every woman nowadays, no
matter what her station of life, con
siders If a duty to be neatly and at
tractively dressed. In fact, well made
and modish clothes are quite as essen
tial to the business woman as to tho
girl of fashion, for frocks oftentimes
are an outward expression of an Inner
grace. An an index of chnructer clothes
count for much.
