Topeka Capital: The contract will be let this week at the state penitentiary for contract labor for the next five years. There are now 175 convicts at work on contract labor, divided as follows: Kansas Manufacturing company, carriages and wagons, eighty-two men Helmer's Furniture company furniture, fifty-three men; H. S. Burr Company, boots and shoes, forty men. The state gets 60 cents a day per man, which averages about $1,500 per month, or a total of about $30,000 per year.

From September to April the state has no difficulty in working, or finding em-! ploy men for every able bodied man in-the coal mine and could now use -all. those employed at contract work, buV during the summer months when there is no demand for coal, contract labor is. very necessary for the employment of; the surplus labor.

But if the horse is to be worked, says the Weekly Press, he should have some dry feed. While the grass is scouring his intestines the horse is unfit for labor of any kind.

While the horse is suffering diarrhosa from eating grass it should be given no bran, as lhat also is a very laxative food. Bran should always be given to horses fed on dry hay, which alone makes them costive. Kotation for Potatoes.

Whatever you attempt to do, do it, and leave no impression in the mind of the colt that it has had its own way. At the same time do nothing to frighten the colt, or to make it the least bit afraid of you. Do not make it do anything painful or disagreeable, but almays make it do what you attempt to do, and always do yourself what you set out to-do. In case there is an unavoidable failure, do not leave the impression upon the colt that you have failed and that it has had its own way also.

Fred Faxon was a young man who for two years had boon reading law in the city twenty miles away, and was soon to be admitted to the bar. He had met Bessie Hayes the preceding summer while spending a vacation in the valley.

The decided mutual attraction between the two had been increased by subsequent meetings and no end of letters, until it had reached the stage where the word "love" could alone express the situation. Mr. Hayes had been much pleased with the young man, and at the request of pretty Bessie, who generally carried her point, hod invited him to spend his week's vacation at the Hollow. It had been a happy time to the lovers those little seven days; but they had flown by all too quickly, and the train that was to bear the prospective lawyer away from fields of wheat, drifting in waves of silver toward the harvest, to the city, with its dust, and grime, and wickedness, would be due within an hour. "I must run across and say good-by to the Turners," remarked Fred, looking through the open door to a farm house on the opposite side of the broad country road.

"Wait a moment, and 111 go with you. "No, daughter, let him go alone. I must hitch up to take him to the depot, and want a word with you first."

"Fred Mr. Faxon, I should say," "You don't mean Words failed the little maiden, but iier wide-open eyes supplied the deficit, and expressed the most unfeigned as-toninhment.

This passes under the city below the bed of the river and the deepest of the city's foundations.

The ground at the Ashland avenue pumping works is much higher than at the lake and considerable power is required to draw the water through the tunnel. This great underground aqueduct draws its supply of water from the "crib." whose construction has been described. To accomplish this a second tunnel was constructed under the and run parallel with the first, about sixty-three feet away. The new tunnel is about seven feet wide and seven feet and two inches high, and has a capacity about double that of the first one. At present a third great tunnel is in course of construction under the waves of Lake Michigan.

This was determined upon because the water now pumped from the crib is sometimes contaminated by the sewage, particularly when great storms rage, and because it had become evident that the two North Side tunnels would not long supply the demands ot tne rapidly growing city. The shore shaft is near the foot of Twelfth street, two miles south of Chicago avenue. It will be four miles in length and is being constructed much like the others, except that dynamite is employed to loosen the clay. It is expected that the entire four-mile tunnel will be completed in a year and a half, after which the city will be insured an ample supply of pure water under all circumstances. Six hundred and seventy-seven miles of water mains, varying in size from three to thirty-six inches in diameter, are in use.

Ot sewers there are 493 miles, varying in diameter from one to nine feet. Besides, the streets are filled with conduits for telegraph, telephone, and electric light wires, while the gas mains rival in extent those of the water department. There are two passenger tunnels under the Chicago River, one at Washington street who prunes, his trees very low, the way.

You give a cleansing touch here and there to doors, cupboard shelves, or tables, with very little loss of time, and without any deliberate effort required for regular cleaning. Softening Water for the laundry. An authority On softening water, making soap and kindred matters says: For all washing and cleansing operations it is indispensable, if good and economical results are to be obtained, first to soften the water before using soap of any kind. Softening water simply consists in removing the soluble lime salts with which all water (except pure rainwater) is more or less If this is not done the soluble lime forms an insoluble lime soap from the decomposition of the soap used for washing.

This substance is a greasy, sticky, oily compound, perfectly insoluble and more difficult to wash away afterwards by any treatment. It is this that causes the yellow grayish deposit on the edges of collars and cuffs washed simply with hard water and soap, and the sticky, greasy deposit on wool when treated in a similar manner and also on the sides and edges of all washing machines. It is a most uneconomical proceeding to wash anything in water and soap alone without previously softening the water. Not a particle of soap can become available for washing purposes until all the added lime in the water has combined with the amount of soap it requires to form the insoluble lime soap. As compared with the pure 98 per cent, powdered caustic soda, such as the "Green-bank" brand, it requires twelve pounds of the very finest pure soap, or twenty to thirty pounds of ordinary soap, such as is usually sold to manufacturers, to do the same" work that can be done with one pound of this soda.

THIS KITCHEN. Some Culinary Hint ft. In cooking oatmeal or cracked wheat, if the meal is put into a double boiler, and salt added to the water in the outer receptacle, the food will be very much improved in taste, the reason being undoubtedly because the meal is better cooked by this process. As salted water does not boil at so low a temperature as unsalted, therefore the meal is subjected to a greater heat, and proportionately better cooked and much improved thereby. Salted beef can be plunged into boiling water; this hardens the outer side at once, and keeps the juices within the meat.

If steamed meat is left in the liquor to cool off, it will be found to have absorbed back much of the goodness of the soup, and will be so much the more nutritious as food. In calling for a part of meat of the inferior portion of beef from a market in a good part of the city, the dealer will often not have any; he does not keep any except the prime portions, for he will tell you no customers can be found to buy them. This idea of always purchasing only the more expensive cuts of -meats is very prevalent among the Americans, but it often entails needless expense. Other parts of the animal give just as good, nutritious food, and at a much less expense. Stews, ragouts, pot-roasts, stuffed hearts, and a large variety of made dishes, will prove quite as satisfying to a hungry appetite as a porterhouse steak could possibly do, and be much less costly.

It is only ignorance which depends upon steaks, chops, and roasts, ad infinitu. A fruit now found in the market is the bitter, acid grape-fruit. It is excellent for people of bilious habit, and many people learn to like it after eating it a few times, In eating it, every particle of the skin should be removed from the sections of the pulp, as this inner white skin is very bitter, and quite unwhole- i some.
