Giant in Indian Territory.
One of the delegates sent by Indian
Territory to the Democratic national
convention was C. A. Skeen, who
stands six feet three Inches In his
atocklnirs and Is a big: man even for
his stature. Mr. Skeen, a most vera
cious man, It would appear, said In
aft Interview) "I am sorry that none
of the bin men of the territory waa
able to attend this convention. They
were all busy, and so they said that
the little fellows, who aro not much
use at work, must come along. Some
of the men 'in the territory are so big
that they aro not able to travel. The
car seats and the hotel beds are all
too small for them. So they stay at
home. But that Is no hardship for a
man who lives in Indian Territory."
Oldest Clock In England.
Peterborough cathedral has tho old
est working clock In England. It was
erected about 1320, nnil Is probably
the work of a monastic clockmaker.
It Is tho only one now known that is
wound up over an old wooden wheel.
This wheel Is about 12 feet In circum
ference, and the galvanized cable,
about 300 feet in length, supports a
leaden weight of 300 hundred pounds,
which lias to be wound up dally.

A Blow to Heiress-Hunters.
A French court has decided that the
Tiuko do Valeneay has uo claim to
tho fortune settled upon him at tho
time of his mnrrlugo to Miss Helen
Morton of New York, who recently
secured a divorce. It is still better
news that tho nobleman is forced to
pay a',1 tho costs of tho divorce suit.
AH Duchess do Vnlencay had to do
was to give up her title.
It Is a notlcablo fact that all the
dukes and counts who aro dying for
love of American girls aro also pinch
ed for a llttlo ready "money. Perhaps
tho French court's decision will dis
courage the heiress-hunting business
or f t leai't lend tho successful hunters
to treat their captives decently. It is
to be hoped that the discouragement
mentioned w'lll eventuate, for this
counu-y has room for all the good
American women, rich or poor, who
are born Into It. Thero is such a

Staking Tmato Plants.
Begin early Tith staking tomato
plants, so as to keep them off tho
ground (as thry wer a large space
when matured), nd keep the ground
somewhat damp.whlch is not desir

room, and arc hed tyi off the ground

Plant Seed in Mctot Soil.
Never plant seels in try soil, or in
soil that is less moist t.an the seeds,
as the dryer soil will extort the mois
ture from the seeds, andtjht germ will
die. The failure of enf seeding In
sandy soils last spring wi due to this.
Farmers put. in the seed I in a t ime of

Raising Bulbs.
Nearly all the flower bulbs, such as
hyacinths, tulips and daffodils, are of
Dutch production. The Nrw York
agent of extensive Holland growers as
serts that practically every florral
greenhouse In the country grows tho
product of the Imported bulbs. Porno
attempt has been made to produce
bulbs In southern Virginia and Cali
fornia, but with limited success. The
Holland growers claim that our cli
mate Ik too changeable to produce
good results in bulbs, but other au
thorities believe these profitable crops
could he grown In America if attempt
ed by those who thoroughly under
stood the proper mothoda.
When Cutting Short Grain.
When cutting very short grain wilh
a harvester, considerable difficulty Is
often experienced, as the t-hort cut
grain will accumulate upon the slrkle
bar In such quantity as to clog the
sickle. And it will be found that If
tho reel Is lowered enough to prevent
this, the short grain la thrown too far
back upon the platform snd scattered
so badly that It. ranno' be properly
bound Into bundles without great loss.
To avoid this, get son very heavy
canvas, ten inches wide, and fnstcn it
with tacks the full lcn';i;i of the reel
slats, nnd this will swi ep the grain
gently onto tho platform and thus
avoid waste. Farm Journal.
Sassafras a Pest.
Sassafras Is one of the worst pests
that can find a hold on a Held. Cut it.
down, or even grub it up. and it will
reappear almost unexpectedly, growing
rapidly and taking possession of the
land. Thero is a time when It can bo
removed to the best advantage, how
ever, and that is by grubbing about
the first of September, removing tho
roots, and then clearing off the field.
Should any plants appear next spring,
go into the field and touch a little sul
phuric acid on each half a tenspoon
ful will answer nnd repeat should any
routs appear lutcr, firn cutting off all
plants that show above ground. Tills

cating thistles and oilier weedb that
arc difficult to remove.
Coughing of Animals.
Naturally the dairyman Is ever on
the lookout for trouble with his cows
and one of them with a cough excites
lilm very much, because his first
thought is of tuberculosis. It is quite
natural for cows to cough mnre or less
during cold weather, but it does not
fovtow that their lungs are affected.
If the -cows are properly fed and
stubled, liopt out of draughts of cold
air, yet furnished wilh good ventllnted
quarters, any cough l hey may have
docs not, as a rule, proceed from tho
lungs. If the animal cats well and Is
in good ganeral henlili she is probably
Hll right. If, on tho other hand, tho
cough continues and she gets off in
her feed, them lose no time In consult
ing a veterinarian, for the chances are
Bomcthing serious ii troubling her.
Disking Land for Corn.
A correspondent writes us that hav
ing heard of quite successful corn
growing In Illinois without plowing
the land first, inquires whether one
tun saTely disk the corn land, list and
plant without tho usual breaking.
Sometimes tho lighter prairie noils are
prepared In this way unci corn is plant
ed and does fairly well without first
breaking the land. This has been so,
however, in seasons following deep whi
ter freezing, and little spring rain to
run the soil together. Only the llcht
blank soils mixed with some sand have
I been successfully grown to corn by
disking, rather than breaking. In wet
spring tteusons some risk Is takea even
with these boIIh to plant in this way.
It Is far safer to break the ground first
nnd pulveri.e it. for corn. And tho
clay loam Bhould be always so treat
d, and it Is best to break them
fieeply. Disking heavy sol In and list
ing for planvlng would be a great roifr
take In any kind of a season. These,
sollg aro run together and hardened by
the usual spring rains more than oth
ers are, nnd our correspondent would
make a mistako to undertake corn
growing on his clay loam lands ty
merely disking them.
The Turnip Crop.
The turnip crop should be a leading
one, as a large supply can be secured
from an acre of land. The growing of
turnips for winter is during tho sum
mer season, but while the Rrowlng of
turnips Is done somewhat carefully af
ter the ground is ready for the seed,
the proper preparation of the ground
Is not always made. Weeds grow rap
Idly during warm weather, and to pro
tect tho turnips the land should be
plowed now, harrowed, and tho weed
seeds permitted to sprout, using the
harrow as often as may be necessary
to destroy' them. Just before seeding
the turnips the land should be worked
deep with a cultivator, and then har
rowed down again as fine as possible.
This will not only cause fewer weeds
to appear, hut will also Increase tho
crop of turnips, both In the yield and
quality.
The Black Locust.
On every farm that In more or less
devoted to stork grazing there Is great
need of shade In each pasture; feuc?s
strong and durable are needed to re
strain the stock. There Is one tree of
all others that Is admirably adapted
to meet both requirements, and that
Is the black locust. Growing In grdv3
in the pasture, it does not Interfere In
any way with the production of grass,
for being a legume of a lofty habit,
grass will grow close around the trunk
nnd be of nearly full strength from an
abundance of simshine near the roots.
Closely grown, nature does the prun
ing: otherwise they should be trimmed
Tn nearly a whip. They grow well on
thin rough land, such as is found on
thousands of farms, growing worthless
Fhrubs, briers and weeds, whli'h might
be the most remunerative acre on tho
farm If planted thickly In black locust.
In realitv there need bo.no waste land.
The post crop Yiay he seven, eight, ten
or even twelve years In maturing, but
all tho time post timber Is getting
scarcer and higher. At seven years
one post may be had, but- often It Is
peiilcy to keep the ax off mull the
tenth mile stono has been parsed,
when tho tree will have Increased In
height and diameter rufflctently to
make three or four posts. A tall tree
that will clear 32 fent will rut four
sections of eight feet each; the first
may bs quartered, the second may
make two or three, the third one or
two and the top section one, making
eight or ten posts, according to glze of
trunk. Locust posts aro very durable,
being good for from 15 to 40 years, ac
cording to diameter and ao when cut.
Another point, they hold nails and
ataplos as firmly as most woods do
screws. Another place where tho lo
cust eloes its dual purpose stunt admir
ably Is as a shade tree along the high
way. Farms so beautified and provid
ed attract buyers. E. V.. J. in tho

POTATO WATER HAIR TONIC.
Other Remedies Suggested as a Cure
for Baldness.
"Take half a dozen white potatoes,"
said the barber, "and pare them
lengthwise from end to end. Instead of
crosswise, as is usual. Roil them in a
quart of water. Drain the water off
into a boitlo and add a teasp-mnful of
salt. This liquid, this simple com
pound of boiled potato water and salt
will. If it is rubbed Into tho scalp
three times a week, change a thin
moth eaten head of hair Into a thick
and vigorous crop."
The bald listener laughed.
"Potato water Is a new one," he said
fcornfully.
"Nrw and fine," returned the barber.
"Do you see how good my hair is?
Well, 1 was nearly as bald as you aro
once. I used potato water three times
a week for three months. Look at the
result."
"I'll tell you somo of tho tonics that
have been recommended to me," said
the bald head.
"First, coal oil coal oil, rubbed into
the scalp every night before retiring.
Can you imagine any man sinking a
coal-oll-drcnched bead among his pure
white pillows?
"Sago tea. I made some sago tea
once, and the mixture had so vile and
forbidding a look that I could not ap
ply it-
"Onion juice. That, no doubt, is a
good tonic. But what would my
friends say if I should always be
thrusting under their noses a head
accented with onions?
"Black molasses. A Kentuekian ac
tually udvlsed me last year to try
black molasses.
"Hemlock soap and vinegar that is
a tonic that a Maine barber swears by
Seaweed and apple seedB boiled in sea
water is a sailor's recipe. Dandelion

fellow would yield, under hydraulic
pressure, no less than 75 pounds, or

IIE STOLE A KINGDOM,
"BOBRIKOFF THE THIEF," FINNS
CALL THE DEAD DICTATOR.'
Was Trying to "Russify" Their Coun
try When Assassinated Death Pre
vented Report That Would Have
Brought Down the Oar's Wrath.
In Finland they cnlled Mm "Bobrl
koff tho Thief;" and now they have
shot I ho great dictator who, with con
summate cunning, stole Finland for
tho Czar of Kussla inch by Inch.
And thero Is good reason In tho
Finns' minds for tho shooting of Bob
rlkoff. Tho dictator bad iroro lnla
ter designs on Finland's freedom than
any ho had yet practiced, says a writ-'
cr In the London Express.
By tho order of the czar ho was to
report before the closo of the present
month whethir Finland were tractable
or not. The Finns knew what Bobrl-,
koff would report, and they knew that
his report would be followed by an
actlvo military occupation of their
land.
So they have saved Bobrikoff the
trouble of making his report, and
have given their own answer to the
question In the shapo of revolver
shots.
Strange Indeed Is tho story of this
theft of a nation and Its dramatic out
come, and I learned It in this way
some few months ago.
li was ono of thofo days of brilllanj
sunshine bathing unsullied snow that
make Helaiiiffors so beaulful in win
ter lime.
From tho window of the room In
which I sat I could see the white
painted houses of the Finnish capital
rising from the white snow, while
from tho shore, for 20 miles, the froz
en sea lay beneath a carpet of snow
that might have been woven with
countless diamonds, so brightly did
It gleam.
Overhead tho benign sky, undecked
by a stnglo cloud, was blue as the
summer heaven of Venice, Helslng
fors. Indeed looked for all the worlel
like somo pretty, frosted, cheerful
Christmas card.
Vpon the floor two children laughed
as they sprawled about, and between
myself and my companion, a Finnish
woman of gentle birth, a little tablo
bore a samovar, brewing tea and
singing of good will and peace.
But there was neither good will nor
peace In tho face of the woman on the
other sldo of the table. "Yes," she
said, "we Finns call him Bobrikoff the
thief, for llttlo by little he has filched
from us our country and all our
rights.
"Clod knows my heart Is not evil
when I say that till Bobrikoff came
to Finland I did not believe In hell "
Here she looked up at tho sky, and
It is untrue to say that blue eyes can
hold no passion. Hers were steely,
and In them one could see passion
thnt. bitterness hnd frozen.
"Somo day," she went on, "Bobrikoff
will pass even the limit of our pa
tience, ad then thero will nrlso a
man who "
She did not finish the sentence, but
I understood, and murmured "Quite
so."
And now they have shot Bobrikoff.
"If you will come out with me," my
companion continued, after a little
pause, "I will show you why wo suf
fer." So wo went out. and crossed a snowy
square and came up to a great white
building. As wo passed up the steps
a Russian policeman stared nt us and
then yawned.
A r.:a'.i unlocked the heavy doois for
us nnd wo went into a white hall,
where even fie echoes seemed quite
Mart led at tho unaccustomed sound
of footsteps.
We came to a big dim room, round
which were ranged In a seml-clralo
Kcorcs of llttlo gold-legged, fold
backed chairs.
VTliip," said my companion, "Is tho
Mall e f Nobles." nnd in this silenco
and tills emptiness you can rend the
tragedy of our land. Year by year
those little .chairs stand waiting for
our nobles to sit on them and give us
laws and Justice. But they will nev
er sit there again for Bolirlkoff lias
dissolved our constitution.
"lie rules instead as an autocrat
and by ninrtlal law."
"And what manner of man la this
Bobrikoff V I asked.
"I cannot tell you what lie looks
like," she said, "because tho only time
he passed me I turned away my head.
Wo always turn away our heads when
ho goes by. It is all that wo can do.
"I believe, however, that In 1:1a priv
ate life ho Is a kindly man. I am told
it Is quite touching to seo tho lovo
and trust between him and his pretty
daughter.
"But his private llfo is nothing to
us. llo Is here to serve tho autocratic
machine, and he serves It well."
Thou in tho Hall of Nobles I was
told the talo of tt.o stolen nation.
lTp to 1S08 Finland, though part of
the czar's dominions, was autonomous.
It prospered prospered so greatly
that .t be.'camo an eyesore to needy
and jealous St. Petersburg. So St.
Petersburg sent down Bobrikoff, nnd
Bobrikoff swallowed it up.
Ho' took such gentle llttlo mouth
ful s at first thnt tho Finns scarcely
understood what was happening.
But they understand now, for Bob
rikoff forpot to summon the represen
tatives of tho Finnish council. Instead
ho created a hired senate, and dis
banded the Finnish army, with the
exception of the guards, .Them he
sent to Poland.
In 1902 ho called for Finnish vol
untoer army to servo lr. Russia. The
young men of Finland declined to
verve on those terms, and a bordo
of Russian troops was sent down to
Finland. Then the czar ordered that
Bobrikoff should drag tho Finns to
the conscription booths should b not
be ab'e to report tnem tractable bf
the tt d of the present month. '
lantlmo Bobrikoff had been bnsjr
at tho ronrenlal task of "Russifying"
Finland.
Ho decreed that Russian must be
taught In all the schools, and ono by
ono he removed every Finnish official,
down to tho postmen and the police.
Russians reigned In their stead.
Thousands of secret agent canto
down from St Petersburg, and lurked
nnd pried all over tho land. Never a
week passed but some Finn of stand
ing was suddenly missed from home.
You could find them If J'oil
searched for them In Siberia.
An army of Russian policemen
me;ets and speeds every train nnd
every vessel, t'nder the guise of
peace there Is a reign of terror.
At the end of her recital of Fin
land's wrongs my Finnish lady threw
out ber hands appcalingly.
"Could you, as an Englishman," she
cried, "live under such conditions?
''Every night we U down and won
der what there may be in store for us
next. And as we lie and wonder the
answer seems to como to us, for we
can hear the heavy tread of the Rus
sian police on the frozen street be
neath our windows."
As she said this tears were falling
down hT face.
And now Bobrikoff has been shot.
STATISTICS OF WORKERS.
Nearly Two-Fifths of the Entire Popu
lation In Gainful Occupations.
A special report of the Census Bu
reau on occupations shows that In thi
continental United States tho total
number of persons engaged in gainful
occupations In 1900 was 29,073,233,
which was one-half of the population
ten years old and over, and nearly two
fifths of the entire population. The
total number comprises 22,489,425 men,
4.833,630 women and 1,760,178 children,
of whom l,2i4, 411 were boys and 485,
767 glrla. Those of foreign birth ag
gregated 5,851,399, or one-fifth of the
totnl number of gainful workers, and
tho statistics show that tho immigra
tion of 20 years has not increased the
proportion of the foreign born In the
working population of the country,
Those of foreign parentage aggregate
11,106.361, or over 38 percent, almost
equally divided between immigrants
nnd children of immigrants. Manufac
turing, trade and transportation and
the professions show an increasing
number of workers of each sex, while
the agricultural class represents a di
minishing proportion.
All the statistics given are for the
continental United States, which ex
duds Alaska, Hawaii and tho mili
tary and naval stations, abroad. In
cluding all these, but not Including
Porto Rico, the Philippine Islands or
tho Islands of Guam and Tntulla, tho
total number of persons engaged In
gainful occupations In the United
States Is given as 29,287.070. Tho ag
gregate for t;io continental United
States Increased over 24 percent slnco
1890, In which decade tho total popula
tion Increased almost 21 percent. Tho
proportion of those gainfully employed
to the total population Increased al
most 3 percent. Almost 40 percent of
the men employed were engaged In
agricultural pursuits, 24 percent in
manufacturing and mechanics, 18 per
cent in trade and transportation, al
most 15 per cent in domestic and per
sonal service, and 3 1-2 percent In pro
fessional se rvice. About 40 percent of
the femnli'3 employed were in domes
tic or personal service, 25 percent in
manufacturing and niechnnlcs, 18 per
cent in ngrleulturi', 9 percent in trade
and (raninjutatlon and 8 percent in
professions. The pereeutngo of fe
male workers is especially high wher
ever tho nostra clement is prominent.
Of the men, (ill percent of tho single,
94 percent of the married, 77 percent
of tho widowed end 89 percent of the
divorced were employed, while unioiig
the women, 31 percent of tho single, ti
percent of tho married, 32 percent of
tho widowed and ,"5 percent of tho ell
vorved were employed.
Lofty Mountain Lakes.
Tho most lofty mountain lakes are
found among tho Himalaya Moun
tains in Thibet. TIieT altitudes do
not, however, seem to have been very
accurately gauged, for different au
thorities l:ve widely different figures
regarding them. According; to some,
Lake Manr.sarowar, ono of tho sacred
lakes of Thibet, Ib between 19,000 anil
20,ii,i( feet above (lie level of the sea
and If t:i!s Is s undoubtedly the lofti
est In the world..
Two other Thibetan lakes, those of
Chatamoo and Eurakoi, aro said to
bo 17,000 and 15,400 feet in altitude
respectively. For a long time it waa
supposed thnt Lako Titicaca, In Soulh
America, waa tho loftiest in tho world.
It. covers ubout 4500 Fouare miles. Is
32,000 foot abovo tho sea. In splto of
