Indianapolis, Ind., —The reason that young men and women in the south are flocking from the farms to the cities is not why they dislike field and stream, but that the cities offer so much great er opportunities for all degrees of culture. This was the opinion expressed by Samuel E. Weber, state in spector of high schools of Louis iana, before the department of superintendency of the National Educational Association. The j enormous hoard of potential wealth in the thousands of acres of uncultivated land in the south is to be realized through extension of the rural school system, Mr. Weber said. He did not regard the establish ment of state agricultural schools i of so much importance as the in stitution of agricultural courses in the local schools, where the children of the immediate planta tions, while studying scientfic i methods of developing the land at their command, can at once gain acquaintance with those arts of conversation that brighten life and that are now eagerly sought in the cities. Improvement of the rural schools, Mr. Weber also believed, would solve the problems of the idle negro in the south. W. T. JONES GIVEN LIFE TERM. Columbia, S. C., —For the mur der of his wife, W. T. Jones, the' wealthy Union county farmer, will have to serve the remainder of his days in the state peniten tiary, the supreme court handing down a decision in which the judgment of the circuit court is affirmed. Jones was convicted two years ago on the charge of poisoning his wife, and has since been in the Union county jail. His wife was prominently connected. Jones, it is said, has made the statement that he will commit suicide before he will enter the penitentiary on a life sentence. He is reputed to be worth over SIOO,OOO.

A graphic picture of Alaska, with her millions in gold lying hidden beneath hundreds of feet of frozen earth, was drawn by Delegate James Wickersham in a ■ statement before the house com mittee oil territories, in support of a bill for the revision of the Alaskan mining laws. He told of tlie luck of the pio neer prospector and of his pathet ic failures; the crudeness and the inadequacy of the mining laws in that territory, and of the fre quent resort to the ritle and pis l tol—even the occasional suni ! mary punishment of violators by I the rougher code of the hang i man’s noose. j “There is not a feature of the mining ot the territory,” said Mr. Wickersham, “but that is now open to litigation. “Our claim to every acre of mining ground there is held by a rope of sand. “Alaska has always paid her ' way. She has never asked any ] think of Uncle Sam. Last year j she sent to him $20,000,000 iu virgin gold, and her trade -with the United States was worth SOO,- 000,000.” IMMIGRANTS SENT SEVENTY-FIVE THOUSAND. j Washington,-D. C.—More than 12,300 persons throughout the j United States are engaged in what j amounts to an unregulated bank ling business almost, entirely out-; : side of legal control, their custo | mers being wholly immigrant laborers who for the most part Ido not speak English, according jto a report on immigrant banks I transmitted to the senate by i Senator Dillingham, of Ver mont, chairman of the immigra tion commission. The report shows that the only states which have established any effective control of the immigrant banking business of Massachusetts and New Jersey. The bankers are mostly steamship agents, labor agents, saloon keepers, grocers or boarding house agents. The total amount annually j seat aboard on behalf of the im migrants is stated at $70,000,000. The immigrant bankers annually handle hundreds of millions of dollars. DON’TS FOR THE KITCHEN Don’t boil milk for colic. Scald it. Don’t serve mashed potatoes with mutton or chicken. Reserve them for beef. Don’t make bread into large loaves. The center is apt to be underdone and spoil easily. Don’t salt meat before tin* cooking. Add it after the meat is cooked or when nearly done. Don’t allow graniteware to dry over a hot fire. The iron expands, chipping off the entire outside. Don’t boil meat at a gallop. | Boil five minutes, then cook it at a temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit. I Don’t use steel knives for cut ting fish, oysters, sweetbreads, or • brains. The steel blackens and gives an unpleasant flavor. Don’t save cold coffee in Un pot in which it was made. Draw it off and put it in a jar; cover and reheat it quickly at serving < time. Don’t fill the teakettle the night before. Fill it with fresh water; in the morning, bring it to the] boiling point and then use it at once. Don’t put tablecloths and nap kins that are fruitstained info hot soapsuds; it sets or fixes the stains I Remove the stains with diluted (oxalic acid, washing quickly in [dear water.

Almost everything of value has had its beginingin the far East. There, save the Washington Post, civilization started ; there govern ment was first established; there religion, philosophy and poetry ! were born; and printimr, gunpow der, and the mariner’s compass were there given to mankind. Now comes a learned professor from Vale, who tells of still another claim which the East has on us ! j for undying admiration and grat | itude. I Lis profound ethnologi cal studies and investigation into | the social customs of bygone ages | disclose the fact that kissing was | discovered in India, lie Inis uii j earthed an epic poem of ancient | India which treats of love and ; which tells of the first, kiss, it was, needless to say,the invention of lovely woman. The poet says “she laid her mouth to my mouth and made a noise which gave me pleasure.” There we have it oorn- I plot.:!-—the culmination of long ; ages of yearning of something un defined and unrealized, given life | by the genius of a woman inspired by love, and coming into being like Minerva from the head of Jove, full grown from her lips. Other tilings born into the world have been added to And improved on in the course of time, or have grown stale and have been Hung aside. The kiss remains as airy and evanescent, as impalpable and elusive, as blissful and in effable, as precious to man as the first one those long ages ago,when the Indian maiden laid her mouth to her lover’s and he responded \ / ' with a thrill of pleasure to the j new-horn caress. The professor | does not tell us the maiden’s ] name. If it is known, it should ]be disclosed, that she may con e I into fame and gratitude which i she deserves. What other bene factor to the race on so large a j scale, reaching all mankind through all the generations yet to he, remains unknown and nn l celebrated? It is a theme for poets and artists —that first kiss. Mon i uments have become common place, but the benefaction of Un loving maiden should be corn i memorated. When her name is revealed Jet it be taught to chil dren, that it may be taken upon j ! their lips in grateful memory when they glow with the ecstacy ; of the first kiss and breathe the j happiness of love.—Ex.
