Some time ago Kansas newspapers printed a line or two about the die corry of a white weasel at Oak Mills, adding that white weasels are ex- . rn. ! and Clark, in il.' I. in the journal of their famous expedition, speak of baring procured from an Indian on the Missouri "a weasel) which was perfectly white, ex cept the extret-ty of the tall, which was black." Pe; .aps this weasel was the progenitor of the Oak Mills ani mal. Dy the way, it seems that Kan sas Is coming back to Its primitive condition again, especially aa regards wild animals. Many wild creatures that were thought lo have long since disap peared fro i our soil are making their appearance again. A little over a year ago a paroquet was killed on the Remsburg farm east of Potter. Paro quets swarmed In this locality In the early days. A beaver Is occasionally seen In the Missouri River along the Kansas shore. They were formerly as plentiful In Stranger Creek as muskrats are now. Last year Herbert Rogers caught a beaver In the Kaw River near Lecompton. Sain and Will McCoaiell killed a targe black bear near Elk City some time ago. John H. Hicks of Kingman county killed a One specimen of a hnld eague out there recently. ,lofc Rurns caught a white squirrel near tiniliia last January. It was a perfocl albino and had pink eyea. Charles Husted, near Lawrence, comes for ward with a black pocket gopher, rap tured near that place. It Is on exhibi tion at thp State university. Some time ago a deer was roaming ahout In the western part of Atchison county, hut w? 1-ave not heard wheth er it wag captured or not. Deer were orre plentiful and Atchison county hits a utrenm named for them. Elk, antelope, buffalo, wild turkeya and otl.er game which once abounded here have entirely disappeared, but ve moy expect a stray specimen of rt.l any of these primitive beauts iiid liir.'.s to bob up any old time. Marie Antoinette's Books. Tbe unhappy Queen Maria Antoin ette posgeared an important library if 4,712 volumes, consisting of plays mil romances, little books a la mode, the works of Pascal, Bossuet, Fene Ion, Bourdalouo, Masslllon, Boileau, Ci.usEeau, Cornellle, Moliere, Voltaire and many others. She loved ruuslo passionately and had a large collec tion of operas In eighty-nine num bers. The bindings were by Blalzot and were uniform In red morocco, with the arms of France and Austria stamped upon them. The execution of the work was poor and the decad ence In the art of binding evident. The glories of the art of Padeloup and the Deromes had passed away, and the revolution effectually killed whatever knowledge remained of the ancient Bkill of the bookbinders. Half a century later saw Its revival In France, and the art has since flour ished both there and on English soil. The Hon'a Origin. Passing over other Interesting pheasants mention must be made of what has proven to be "economically the most valuable bird on the earth to mankind the red Jungle fowl. Ornithologists know It as Gallua gal lus. and U Is Indeed the "fukl ot (owls -; for from It has been bred every variety of domestic poultry, same, Langshan, Polish, Plymouth Rotk, Leghorns, etc. Whether we con fer the black, tailless fowls bred In Molland, or the Japanese poultry with .alls fifteen to twenty feet In length, nil were derived from the red Jungle fowl. Remarkable as these facta are, -i oof Is forthcoming In the fact that t any breed of poultry be allowed to I'D wild, they will gradually revert o this ancestral type and after a cer ain number of generations will have reverted to typical Jungle fowl! M. Y. Post Harmless Coffee Wanted. A number of experiments have been carried out with the object of prepar ing a caffelu free product from the coffee seeds A satisfactory result ! obtained by certain methods which aim at subjecting the entire raw seeds to a procedure by means of which the caffein salts are decom posed and the seeds are rendered amenable to subsequent extraction with a volatile solvent of caffein. This procedure is at present employed In Bremen and In Mannheim, Germany. Nature has produced a plaut free from caffein, native of Madagascai and Reunion, but unfit for use on ao count of its bitter principle. Graft ing experiments have sot yet proved successful. The requirements In ease of tbe artificial non-poisonous pro duct are Its almost entire harmless ness, together with an unchanged ap pearance, taste and aroma. A Cook-Book Mark.

MATH IS PAINLESS. It Comes aa Naturally and la aa Wel come an Sleep. Thfe fear or death, which has been so enormously exploited In dramatic literature, sacred and otherwise. Is said to be almost without existence in .c.. ....- pjt.ii.t. iiuve lost it cuuip,ilel uy tue Uoie tue becuuje seriously 111. Death and sleep are both painless according to Dr. Wooda Hutchinson u Le ..criian MAa.-iie. and cause neither tear nor anxiety by their ap proach. It Is one of tb most merci ful things in nature that tbe over whelming majority of the poisons which destroy life, whether they are those of Infectious diseases or those which are elaborated from the body's own waste products, act aa narcotics and abolish consciousness long before tbe end comes. While death Is not in any sense inalogouL to sleep, It resembles it to lae extent that It ts In the vast major ity of Instances not only painful but welcome. Pain racked and fever corcaed patients long for death aa the wearied toilor longs for sleep. While r any of the processes which lead to 1eatb are paiuful, death Itself is painless, natural, like the fading of a flower or thj falling of a leaf. Out dear ones drift out on tbe ebbing tide of lire without fear, without pain, without regret. Bave for those they leave behind. When death comes close enough so that we can see the eyes behind tbe mask, his face be comes aa welcome as that of bis "twin brother," sleep., t Bought His Own Work. To come across a bit of one'a own work In nrlnt la an experience not or dinarily exasperating to an author; but a Washington writer on sciennuc matters waa recently not very agree ably aurprlsed by such a development. It appears that the writer waa collect ing material for a monograph on electro-magnetism, when word came to him of a valuable paper on tbe sub Ject not long before published In a Berlin Journal devoted to science. Thinking that the paper would be of use to him In the work In band, he had it translated. When the English version was laid before him, together with quite a bill for the translators labor, what was the disgust of tbe writer to find that the article was nothing more or less than a German reproduct'on of an article of his own published the year before In an Eng lish journal. And be had paid twice aa much for the translation as he bad received for the original article! He Lost. The otl er day a Londojer said to a countryman : "I'll bet you anything you like you cannot spell three simple words that I shall give you within forty seconds." "I'll take that on. Now, then, what are they?" said tbe countryman. "Well, here goes," said the London er, as be pulled out bla watch; "Lon don." "L-o-n-d-o-n." "Watching." "W-a-t-c-h-i-n-g." "Wrong," said the Londoner. "What?" exclaimed the countryma-t. in aurprlsed tones: "I've spelled the words you gave me correctly. I'm certain I'm aot " "Time's up!" the Londonor said triumphantly; "why didn't you spell the third word w-r o-n-gf" What Circus Life Meant. George W. Dunbar joined Dr. E dacconstow's Cosmopolitan Circus, a ooat and wagon show that played the iowns located along tbe Ohio and Mis sissippl valleys, In UliS. The feature of this "Imposing travelling and sail ing" aggregation' was the Forty Horst farads, which, in those days and lu that territory waa a sensational al lair. Every one connected with tut enterprise from Dr. Bacconstow bim elf to tbe bearded lady, bad to drlvt a single horse, a tandem or a fourth band equipage. Young Dunbar canit well recommended aa a whip, so be aides performing on his horlzonf. oar In tbe circus ring and a blacl race act In tbe after concert he . aslgned to tool a four-ln-band In tbt big parade. A billion In Britain is a million times a million. But no man Is able to count It. You will count 160 or 170 a min te. But let us suppose that you go up aa high as 200 a mlr.ute, hour after hour. At that rate you would count 12,000 an hour, 28, OUT) a day, or 105,120,000 In a year. To count a biuion would require a person to count 200 a minute for a ..erlod of 9,512 years, 342 days, 5 hours and 20 minutes, providing be should count continuously. But sup pose we allow tbe counter twelve bo. rs dally for rest, eating and sleeping; then Le would, need 19,025 years, 319 days, 10 hours and 40 minutes In which to complete the task! Oral Hygiene. One of the diseases of civilization la defective leet, and the more study there Is given to oral uygleue the clearer It becomes that Inattention to health of tue teeth accounts for not a few other 11 s of the body. In difference wpuld bring, dentists with public spirit are now moving for recognition by education of the part which oral bygiene should have lu the service of l-e public school to the child. They are insisting on dental as well as medical inspection of children, not for selhah ends, but to correct, early In life, tendencies which will debilitate the entire sys tem If not checkel.
