New Method of Payment. The Union Pacific railroad management has adopted a new plan in regard to paying off employes. This system has now put aside the pay car and the station agent will fulfill the duties of paymaster hereafter. The March payment was the first under the new regulation. A good many roads have adopted this plan and it seems to be a satisfactory method.

So far as known the plan will be a permanent one. Pasture for Cattle or Colts. I have pasture for 50 head of cattle or colts, 2 miles north, mile eat of court house. For information see or call 'phone 107, Detroit, Kas. J.

Obituary. Mra. Mary Elizabeth Croskey Jolley was born in Hopedale, Harrison county, Ohio, on the 9th of November, 1853. When very young she became a member of the Christian church at Hopedale, and Was a very active worker in the church while she lived there. She was married to Morris A.

Jolley in that city in August, 1880; and moved to Abilene, Kansas, in August 1882. Soon after coming to Abilene she united with the Christian church by letter written by Cyrus McNeely of Hopedale and was ade voted worker in both church and Sunday school, having at one time been instrumental in taking an entire class of eleven girls into the church. Mrs. Jolley had enjoyed the best of health and her life W88 one of sunshine and sickness and death were in the distance, but suddenly and unexpectedly the warning came and she was attacked with an uncontrollable malady and passed into the mystic beyond on Thursday, April 23rd, 1903, at 2 p. m.

She leaves a husband and daughter to mourn her departure from the home circle, but in the sacred chambers of the memory the loved ones can remember the absent one "by what she has done." M. SCIENCE AND FLOWERS. The Constant Study of One Does Not Destroy the Love of the Other. Can people dip at all deeply into the real science of botany, and yet enjoy flowers because of their beauty, because of the delight of finding them in lovely spots on lovely summer days, and because of their dear associations? Must the scientific sense blunt the esthetic one? Often, without doubt, and even though the botanists may themselves demur, this will be the case. Pistils and stamens, nectaries and receptacles--these things will not always go well with artless talk about sweet blooms and bright berries, or even with the simple, very English names given by the unlearned to flowers, says the London Saturday Review.

But on the other hand, there are many lovers of nature and field naturalists whose affection for the flowers and plants is so great and fixed that from time to time they may safely visit this new wondrous world to presently emerge from it as much in love as ever with the old; they will still care for the flower because of its beauty, because it grows in the best places at the best time of year, because it vividly recalls to them the glad, sorrowful days of childhood or the tender passages of true love. Flowers, indeed, apart altogether from the science of botany, are inextricably woven about human life. When will the artist be tired of painting the children in the meadows with their laps full of cowslip or cleandine? Let the botanist classify and name for his own purposes in his own way, but let him be careful not to do anything to bring into contempt the love of flowers apart altogether from seience, lest we rightly call him dry as dust and blind to beauty. Finally let him help to keep up the old names as well as the new. We must always have our sweet william, kingseup, sweet cicely, loosestrife, heartsease, codling and cream and feverfew, names with stories and meanings whose loss would be a loss to the language; their very mention turns our thoughts to the gardens and the pasture lands of summer gone but coming again.

The King of Rats. An example of the rare phenomenon known as the "king of rats," which consists of seven living rats inextricably bound together by the interlacing of their tails, was discovered last winter at Chateaudun, in France. According to tradition the king of the world of rats and mice is accustomed occasionally to enthrone himself, adorned with a golden crown, upon a group of rats with tails entwined, and records of instances of this curious phenomenon are not lacking in books of natural history. It is said that the king of rats is formed only in winter, when the animals crowd together to keep warm and the rodent friends of the unfortunate prisoners are with feeding them out of benevolence. HOW DUTCH RAISE OYSTERS.

Infinite Patience Is Exercised In Bringing Up the Bivalve by Hand. The perennial discussion over the question of the cultivation and 1 protection of oysters along the shores of the Chesapeake makes the methods in use in other parts of the world of great interest to all Marylandersthose who are not engaged the oyster industry of the state as well as those who are. One of the most novel, according to American ideas, and picturesque ways of the bivalves is that of the raising, Netherlands. the Baltimore peop American. The center of this industry in Holland is the little town of Goes, the island of South Beveland.

in the province of Zealand. Nearly every one in the town gets his or her living from the fisheries, and the greatest feature of them all is the oyster industry. Whole families are engaged it all the year round, and, if the pecuniary results are not very large, a comfortable livelihood is the result. The most important part of the work begins in April, when the collectors are placed in position. These are rounded tiles, about foot long.

which are covered with mortar. On these the white spat or ova of the oysters finds lodgement, and from 300 to 400 larvae will become attached to a single collector. The larvae are about 1-150 of an inch long, and float on the surface of the water until they stick to the collectors. The latter are gathered in boxes about eight feet long by two feet wide, and are so arranged as to admit of a free circulation of sea water. By August the collectors have generally become pretty well covered, and they are then taken ashore to be cleaned.

This job is attended to by the women, who wear a picturesque and serviceable costume, consisting of tightly fitting red flannel knickerbockers, black stockings, a shirt waist with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows. and an odd-looking sunbonnet. Their duty is to cleanse the young oysters from all kinds of impurities, as well 88 to remove the small shells which might interfere with the oysters' growth. After this operation the tiles are replaced in the boxes, where they remain until the autumn. At this season they are taken out again, and the oysters have grown to the size of a silver quarter, and are old and strong enough to take care of themselves without anything to cling to, and they are consequently removed.

Most of this work is also done by the women who seem to be more expert than the men. It is not an easy job, for too hasty an attempt to effect a separation may result in an injury to the thin shell of the mollusk. In spite of all the care taken, there is a loss of from 20 to 25 per cent. of the oysters. A woman holds the collector in her hand, and usually a speciallymade pair of scissors to remove the young oyster from the collector.

The mollusk's next station in life is in what is known as an ambulance, which is an apparatus designed to protect it from its various enemies. The ambulance is a long, shallow box, with wire netting at the top and bottom, through which the water can pass freely, but which keeps fish, crabs, on the outside. The boxes contain as many as 3,000 oysters, and are firmly staked down to the bottom of the water. The oysters remain in these boxes for three months, during which time they are well looked after and given frequent washings. At the end of this time they are from two to two and one-half inches in diameter.

They are then large enough to be sold, but there is not much profit in oysters of that size, so that they are thrown down in the water, being now large enough to take care of themselves, and allowed to remain there for two or three years. After they reach the age of three years they do not grow any more, so that there is no object in keeping them any longer, and they are, accordingly, sold. These various processes require much patience and skill, and it is likely that the Chesapeake beds will be considerably more depleted than they are at present before such A system is introduced here. Russian Prison Defects in Siberia. I visited the great prison of Irkutsk and was most courteously allowed to spend several hours there.

I went into every part of the prison that I could see, including the hospital, the workshops, the laundry and the kitchen, and visited every one of the large rooms and almost every cell. In all these I saw but two things to find fault with--the practice of herding together criminals of all ages, tried and untried, and the long time, in some cases amounting to two years, which many of the prisoners spend there before, their cases are finally judged. This latter evil is caused partly by the great difficulty of collecting evidence from many parts of Siberia, but chiefly because the central authorities do not supply magistrates enough to cope with the number of those arrested. -Henry Norman, in Scribner's. Selentifie Study of Crime.

Dr. Thomas Wilson, speaking at the recent meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Seience, argued that the celebrated theory of Lombroso, associating certain types of crime with definite physical characters, was based upon untrustworthy statisties. Dr. Wilson thought it would be more correct to say that crime determines the physical structure than vice versa, and that environment is more responsible for crime than is hereditary character.Youth's Companion.
