SADDLE HORSES A SpsoIALrv
; THE GREELEY COLONY.
A Happy People and a High Standard of
Public Morals.
The Greeley colony rwas. composed of
the best elements of eastern citizen-
ship; and the first and most important
lesson it'teaches is that people of this
class are responsive to such a call as
Mr. Meeker put forth. He did not ap-
peal to the instinct of speculation. He
pleaded for new institutions, and aimed
at high ideals; and'he found that men
of culture and of means were ready to
cooperate heartily in such an under-
taking. This fact lends encourage-
ment to those who are hoping for great
things to come from the development of
the arid region.
The site of the Greeley colony, writes
W. G. Smythe in Century, was not
well chosen—or, at least, it did not in
all respects meet the expectations of
those who selected it. They were there-
fore unable to realize all their plans.
TheyClmade some serious miscalcu1a~
tions. For instance, they estimated
the cost of their canals at twenty thou—
sand dollars, while the actual cost was
more than twenty times as great.
Fruit-culture was mentioned in the
prospectus as certain to be an impor-
tant industry, but the soil and climate
proved unsuitable. The dream of an
improved household economy, based on
a plan' for cooperative bakeries and
laundries, also proved delusive. There
were other disappointments; but the
fundamental claims of irrigation were
all vindicated at Greeley, as they have
been whenever and wherever brought
fairly to the test.
A few years of intelligent labor
brought a high degree of average pros-
perity, based upon substantial founda-
tions. Even the severe panic of the
summer of 1893 did not materially dis-
turb these foundations. During those
trying weeks, when mines and smeltefs
shut down, and banks and stores closed
their doors, water, soil and sunshine
continued to do their perfect work in
the Union colony. Greeley seemed
like an oasis of prosperity in a desert of
despair. The farmers received as the
reward of the summer’s labor more
than a million dollars in cash for the
single item of potatoes. But this is the
chief crop at Greeley, after the no :es-
sities of life have been provided for;
and the wide reputation and hat: :lsome
financial returns won for the Greeley
potato illustrate the wisdom of a sur-
plus crop of the highest quality.
Greeley’s civic institutions .are like
her potatoes. They represent the best
standard available, and are the pride of
the people. To sell any kind of intoxi-
cating liquor within the boundaries of
the Union colony invalidates the title to
the soil. This is one of the original plans
that worked well; and the schools,
churches, libraries and lyceums are all
in keeping with this high standard of
public morals. A careful study of the
development of Greeley, alike in its
social and industrial aspects, would
throw much more light upon the prob-
lems of arid America; but this cannot
be entered upon now.
DUPLICATE NAMES.
Honorable Gentlemen Who Are Likely to
Be Mixed Up in Congress.
The Fifty-fourth congress will con-
tain a considerable number of members
of duplicate names, says the Washing-
ton Post. There are two members by
the name of Arnold, one from Pennsyl-
vania and one from Rhode Island; three
Bakers, from Kansas, Maryland and
New Hampshire; two Bartletts, from
Georgia and New York; two Bells,
from Colorado and Texas; two Blacks,
from Georgia and New York; two Bur-
tons, from Maryland and Ohio; three
Clarks, from Alabama, Iowa and Mis-
souri; two Cannons, from Illinois and
Utah; two Cooks, from Illinois and
Wisconsin; three Coopers, from Florida,
Texas and Wisconsin; three Curtises,
from Iowa, Kansas and New York;
two Cobbs, from Alabama and Missouri;
Gillett from Massachusetts and Gillet
from New York; two Henrys, from
Connecticut and Indiana; two John-
sons, from Indiana and North Dakota;
two Millers, from Kansas and West
Virginia; two Murphys, from Illinois
and Arizona; two McCalls, from Massa-
chusetts and Tennessee; Miner from
New York and Minor from Wisconsin
bear the same name with the distinc—
tion of one letter; two members bear
the name of Russell, one from Connecti-
cut and the other from Georgia. There
are two Smiths, one from Illinois and
one from Michigan; two Stones, both
from Pennsylvania; two Turners, from
Georgia and Virginia; two Walkers,
from Massachusetts and Virginia. Then
we have more men bearing the name of
Wilson than any other—four in all——
from Idaho, New York, Ohio and South
Carolina.

'l‘o Manufacture Glass Pipe.
A new method of manufacturing glass
pipe haS'becn discovered which prom-
ises to revolutionize that industry. It
has hitherto been found impossible to
mold large glass tubes of any great
length because the glass would cool
while running into the mold, and the '
structure of the tube was not homo-
geneous. The new method consists of
using a mold with a movable piston.
The piston is just enough smaller than
the outer shell of the mold to allow
for the thickness of the tube to be
made. The piston is placed the bottom
of the mold and as the molten glass is
poured in the piston is forced upward
by hydraulic pressure. Pipes are made
by this processin sections six feet long
and are used for sewers and water pipes.
In a Woman’s Stomach.
In 1892 a woman died at Albany, N.
Y,. who had for a number of years been
. possessed with an uncontrollable desire
to swallow all sorts of indigestible sub-
stances. A record kept by the physi-
cian who performed the autopsy gives
the following as a list of the articles
found in her stomach: Fifty-one, hair-
pins, sixteen needles, three darning
needles, thirty-two nails of all sizes,
two screws, three pieces of an iron rod
three inches long and one-fourth of an
inch thick, two rolls of hair, two
pieces of wood and .three pieces of
cloth, each of the latter being about
five inches long and one inch wide.

Sarah Bernhardt, and a five-act Hindoo
drama for the Gymnase, called “Ap-
sara,” which means “The Nymph.”
ROBERT GRANT, whom the book-read-
ing public knows as a clever author,
but who is known in Boston as a pro-
bate judge as well, is a hard-working
lawyer on the shady side of forty, but
apparently younger. His pen and his
bicycle consume almost equally his in-
tervals of leisure.
A FEW IMPERSONAL POINTERS.
A PRINCESS, a countess, a duchess
and the daughter of a reigning prince
were among the four thousand thieves,
professional and unprofessional, ar-
rested in Paris during the first six
months of this year.
THE secretary of a big irrigation con-
vention called to meet at Goodland,
Kan, last week, was prevented from
being present because of his inability
to reach the town on account of high
water caused by phenomenal rains.
A YOUNG Indian horseman recently
gave a. display of his skill at lVilbur,
Wash. Holding on his head a can filled
to the brim with water, he rode at a
quick gallop the length of the main
street, and returned, without spilling a.
drop of the water.
A MOHAMMEDAN widow of Bombay
started on a pilgrimage to Mecca re-
cently, taking her jewelry with her.
After arriving at J eddah she was forced
to marry a Turkish soldier whom she
had never seen before and who disap-
peared in a couple of days with all her
property.
Every ton of Atlantic water, when
evaporated, yields 81 pounds of salt; a
ton of Pacific water, 79 ponds; Arctic
and Antarctic waters yield 85 pounds
to the ton, and Dead sea water 187
,pounds.
Prof. Ghooste says that if we reckon
the depth Of all oceans at. an average of
three miles, there would be a layer of
salt 200 feet thick in their basins, should
the waters of all suddenly evaporate.

I BOGRISHNESS .ON THE RAIL.
Theories of the Cold Trestment'of Fellow-
I’asscngers by Men Otherwise Decent.
What is it that makes a decent man-
turn bocr as soon as he enters a rail-
road car‘.‘ If‘there were 30 double seats
in a car and 30 men entered it. each
would sit- by himself. Let him, if he
chooses. But let the 31st man come in
and ask “Is this seat engaged?” and
the chances are that every answer he
gets will be “Yes.”
The other day a Hartford man bound
for Boston asked six men who were
sitting alone if the seats beside them
were taken. Each answered “Yes,”
and yet five of the six rode clear
through alone. Indeed, this habit has
gone so far that, if a passenger moves
along to make room for you, you look
him over pretty carefully before you’ll
trust yourself with him, for fear he is
a pickpocket. His unnatural demon-
Stration of hospitality invites sus-
plcion.
And this disposition of man to sit
alone seems to be a matter of sex.
Women do not behave that way—at
least not in steamcars. In trolleys
12 women may start on one side of the
car, but, after three, or even four, have
gone, there’s no more room, not even
for another woman, than there was
before. The remaining eight somehow
spread out their skirts so as to look
more crowded than before. But in the
steamcar the average woman, especial-
ly if she has with her a big bundle, a
baby, or a restless child, will take a
half-seat beside a man, even if there’s a
whole seat vacant near by.
There are some men to whom this
fate comes whenever they travel. It
may be due to a Christian gentleness
thatbeams in their eyes,but it may also
be due to the cowardice that they can’t
conceal. At all events, they have the
company, and, generally, before long,
the bundle or the child is in their laps
and they submit. One reason is that
they have to. It is expected of them.
Maybe the cold treatment that one
man gives another in the cars is his
method of getting even for the way
that women impose upon him. That
is a plausible explanation and it’s the
only one that appears. Nor does this
do away with the charge of boorish-
ness. That can’t be done away with,
for it’s there—Hartford Courant.
STEAL INVE‘NTIONS.
Pirates in the World of Discovery Who
Thrive Upon Stolen Ideas.
As Thomas A. Edison watched the
pumping of air from a glass tube in his
laboratory a day or two ago a man said
to him:
“You patent every little thing you
disco *er, don’t you, Mr. Edison?”
“I do,” said Mr. Edison. “And do
you know why I do it?”
“I suppose you do it so you will reap
the benefit of your discovery,” was
the reply. .~.
“I thought you’d say that,” said Mr.
Edison; “ and I don’t suppose you will
believe me when I tell you it isn’t so.
But it. isn’t so, nevertheless. I discover
a great many things that I would be
very glad to give to the public for
nothing, but I don’t dare. I patent
these things to save myself from de-
fending lawsuits. There are a lot of
sharks in this world who are continu-
ally on the lookout for new things, and
when one of them hears of something
new he hustles to thepatent office to
see if it is patented. ' If it. isn’t he
claims it as an original discovery and
files his claim. Then he will turn right
around and, like as not, begin suit
against the very man who invented the
things for making or using it. The
inventor will say: ‘But I discovered
this thing first; I am the inventor.’ He
is referred to the patent office, where
he finds the official claim of original
invention. The fact that the papers are
filed long after he made his discovery
does not help him, for all the other man
does is to hire a fellow to swear that he
made the discovery 21. month or two
prior to the date the inventor claims.
It sounds ridiculous, probaly, but it
is a fact, that there are often races be-
tween the inventors and these sharks
to reach the patent office, the sharks
having had early information about
the inventor’s discovery. - There are
many such races, and thousands of
dollars depend on each one. What I
say is literally true.
and no doubt, many other inventors
patent things, just to save defending
lawsuits.”—N. Y. Sun.
Joke on Her.
The other day in a street car a man
was crowded along in his seat by the
very fashionably-dressed young wom-
an, who pushed herself in next to him.
Her very full dress skirt further incon-
venienced him, for she was so anxious
to preserve it from wrinkling while sit-
ting that she swung its folds carelessly
over the lap of this man next to her.
This person had his own ideas‘about
proper retaliation. He deliberately ad-
justed. his large, clumsily-shod feet so
that they appeared to emerge from be-
neath the skirt. It was not long be-
fore they were noticed by some one op-
posite. The effect of the great, awk-
ward feet, as if belonging to the pretty
young woman, was indescribably ludi—
crous. The looker-on laughed and
pointed out the joke to his neighbor.
The looks and laughs spread, until all
the rest of the car were craning their
necks to see the fun. At last the girl
herself became conscious of the jest at
her expense. With a look like thunder
she motioned to the conductor and
hastily deft them .all. —- Philadelphia
