"Undoubtedly the part of this I prosperous nation', which is growing and prospering niost swiftly to day. is the Bouthwest?the re-1 pi on whose central field is Oklalioniu, Indian territory and north Texas," "ways the Chicago Inter Ocean. " ' The story of Oklahoma's transformation from an empty cattle range into a land of blossoming farms and thriving towns was en t acted in such a startling manner that it forced public attention, j The beginning of the development , -?for only a beginning has been } made, even in Oklahoma?of j other parte of the central south west wob inndo in h less sensa- I tionnl manner, and it has not re-j celved the public notice that it do j serves.. Thus If Was with surprise that , the nation at Inrge leurned^ when | 4 he "statehood" ugitniion became j atropg.a few years agd, that there ' were really more than twfcb, as j funny Vhite people as Indians in Indian territory, and that these, and the, Indians with them, were doing'all the things in the Way of industries, schools and churches that are done by thriving com- J inanities in Illindis or Iowa or Minnesota. It was with further surprise that people who in youto had been accustomed to think of Texas As u land largely inaccessible sftve dn | horseback or by wagqn, learned this year thai Texas was leading all tiie states of the unjgniii rail- I way mileage, and liffa pushed Illinois from the primacy,held for <40 years. | mi. - - - ? xiit*ne two facts illustrnte how the southwest is growing, and has boon growing, almost unseen and unheard by the nation at large, and especially unnoticed by the | general public in the region Of the great lakes. All parts of the American republic are prospering. Everywhere there are chances for young jnen with the will and character to grasp them. Hut for men ^eking more elbow room, nnd lining to see rapid returns for their labor or their money, there is no place to-day like the prosperous southwest. ,1 BIG CITY HARDENS SENSE.

After spending a protracted period in the mountains and forests, our nostrils are shocked by the disagreeable odors emanating from tbe'gutters, the shops, the stale * beer of the saloons, and the verv {>ersoi<9 of the people on the streets, says Dan Beard, in Rec-. reation. But this ecnsitiveness of one's olfactories docs not long continue. v f As the ears became accustomed to the roar of the streets, and the ^es to the rank growth of the ungainly buildings, one's nose ceases , to record the disagreeable odors. As the faculties adiust wives to the unnatural and ud, sanitary surroundings of Uie city; as the five senses beeomje blnnted and dull, their owner appears to be gradually losing individuality and exist only as an unimportant ntoni in the turbi^ tlood ot humanity. fiontV men are atoms.all their Jives, but it the president of the Vnited States can go ^ camping with the boys, whY .should not all Americans who can pet a week otT follow his example? Many of the Hons of l>aniel Boone are quite young, and their parents may object to these little fellows eanfpin^ alone, but tbcrt* could he I no objections if the father of some I one <n the boys went with them A to tdgch them wooderaft and ft keep tTtem under his eyes, and it is safe to say that the man who vol e.ftteers to take a fort of IJoone bojjB camping will have the time of his life, aud the boys w ill help ^B bim enjoy himself. ^B , Wheels.

' ' 'I, INTERVIEWING A BISHOP. | . . | Craart Boston Beporter Has Talk with Noted Clergyman?Man of tha Cloth Nonplussed. During the triennial conference of the bishops at Boston'the arch-^ bishop of Canterbury, the guest f of Bishop Lawrence, had a hard | time avoiding the ubiquitous re- i porter, even though his host stnck ; to him eloseT than a brother. In j o^e newspaper -office a prize was offered for an interview with the i aVehlpshop, and consequently his lordship was more than usually beset upon'every hand by the men of the lens and pencil. On one*)ccasion the archbishop, after service, wishing to avoid the press, of reverend gentlemen, crept up into the loft of the church, known as "the lepers' gallery," and was there found by Bishop Lawrence, after a hard hunt, lying on his stomach across u bench, aud watching the proceedings through a .chink 1n the panels, uo rapt, satisfied and un- i disturbed tha't the bishop let him J remain there. ' A little later they te'ft the meeting ahead,of the crowd and started down the line of carriages to bAd the bishop's own. It started " to rain, but, nothing daunted, the i archbishop suggested that they walk home, as their carriage was nowhere to be seen. A square or two further.on some one rushed after Bishop Lawrence and d e\v his attention toward a carriage where a lady was beckoning fruu- ' ticully-?oue whom he recognized as a chief charity worker of his parish. "Excuse ine oue moment, | i your lordship," said Bishop Lawrence. und^ea#,ing his guest standing at thevCUfrbstone hurried to the f?rriage; Suddenly a dapper young man hurried forward and ! said. jKilitely: "Pardon me, sir, | but may I staled ua&er your umbrella till iuy ear comes along?" I "Certainly, my dear young I man," said* the archbishop, blnndi lyt and then ensued a conversation lastiug till ArchbishoMLawrence i returned, during whicn interval j the stranger gave the young man 1 an oil-hand impression of Amer- j it a in general and of'.Boston in pyr- i ticular, the latter showing his gratitude by offeriuc liis card, | with the name of a prominent I ! newspaper in the lower corner. I The archbishop glared for a ! moment, then laughed outright. | "Interviewed ut la\vsl," he said, taking hi^ host's .arm. "Don't leave ine on the street corner | again, please. It isn't safe, eveu | in cultured Boston."

The imperinl'^frchers have existed np to the time the royal edict put them ont of business about a month ago. '?i|C"em- j j peror's decree is as follows: ' < dynasty was established by meatks j of the bow and arrow and the avt I is still therefore kept up in the ex | amiuation of .oflicials and the drilling of troops. Lately, how! ever, military science has imi proved and weapons are being inoderuizedeverydayand wo must ; j imitate the martini spirit of our , I ancestors bv using our best endeavors to establish a strong govj ernmeut. , j "Hereafter the princes, dukes and ministers of the eight ban ners must all earnestly practice military art and *1$uin the utmost protieieney, which will leave no time for the observance.of mere ! forms, and we order all officials in j future not 10 carry the bow and , arrow when they attend state ; ceremonials, nor, are imperial body guards or the palace guards') to 11*' thein. but the best weapons j must be provided for them. "Let the board of war draw up I 1 the necessary regulations for the proper testing of military efficiency for the soldiers and let the said board report thereon." Point of Resemblance.

Chicago Daily News, j " SPORT IN TUSCANY, FRANCE People of This Section Shoot Bats and Jays Simply to Eat Them?What English Writer Thinks. The olive trees round Lucca are not nearly so old or so gnarled looking as those familiar to visitors on the Riviera, probably bo- I cause, owing to the proximity of the mountains, the climate in which they grow is more temperate. The earth in which they grow is a reddish-gravelly soil; in net, for olives, the drier the earth th<| better, and they do not require | much depth. It takes the fruit of five of the largest trees to make only one barrel of the pure oil containing 30} litres?that is about 110 poufrds in weight; and even this amount cannot be reckoned upon oftcuer than once in every two years. Moreover, an olive tree has to be planted and grafted four years before it will j produce fruit at all, says Lieut. , Col. Andrew Haggard, I>. S. U., in j Chambers' Journal. There would be a groat many beautiful singing birds in the groves and mountain sides around Lucca were it not for the passion which the Tuscan contadini have for la caecia?the chase! The sport they indulge in all day long ' is shooting at goldfinches and linnets and other little birds, all of which' are sold and eaten. In the markets at Lucca. I have seen jays for sale. I'pon my expressing j a doubt as to their succulent v, 1 was ashured that they were excellent?when boiled. Fauev boiled jay as a repast! There is apparently no rule in Tuscany as to not shooting on tinhigh roads. Indeed, on every mile or two of roadway you will probably meet at least one ca?<-iatore with a gun upon lii.s slum I der. They will lire at anything, even h bat. 1 myself saw my friend's eook, Tito by name, shoo; a bat on the high road; he said if he could only get enough of tlu-m 'they would Qiake? a,good pie. Ye nous: uuc pie and boiled jay? what a dinner! 1 ascertained that there is some 1 excellent trout fishing to he obtained not far from Lucca, niant of the trout toeing of good si/.e. The trout are already in sea eti in the month of February and i is<? very well in March and April to a (ly. "NOT WORTH SALT" OLD. Roman Workers in T/Tincs Wore Paid in Tais Cenimeoity, Kenco the Origln ^f Phrase. "When we say a man is not worth his salt," said a philologiat^to the j^hillidelphia 1! .Ii< tin. "we use an interesting and classic 'form of speech. We go all the wetback, in fngt, t$> the time of the ancient Romans. "The Roman workers in the salt mines were paid in salt. The salt that they got in return for their labor was called their solarium (sal?Bit It), or salt allowance. "The word solarium meaning salt money or allowance for salt, later on was applied to the fees or tips men got for odd jobs. 'For natch5no' mr tnrrn ' r j'-p -V %**v- uuuir .NiliU, I will give that follow a slight salnrium? a bit of money to buy salt with.' "Finally 'salarium' rame to wcim wages, salary, what it does to'-0$j\ A salhry is, essentially, saK fnionoy, and when we say a man.is not worth his salt we mean he Is not worth paying wages to," , ??
