Lice, of Fatalities May maiiet Galnes- ville and New Holland Horror, _ While Property Loss is Mil- Wons Higher—Scenes of : Devastation. Following close up to dire havoc of ‘the storm king at Galnésville and New Holland, Ga, came another terrible visitation of the uppor elements upon the thriving mll] towns of Pscolet and Clifton, near Spartanburg, S. C., Fri- day night. * The black demon of destruction de- scended in the form of a .errific water- Spout and cloudourst, shortly after the shades of evening had enveloped the silent big cotton mills which support these busy textile communities. The very bottom seemed to have fallen out of the heavens and In e few moments tho celestial Niagara hed swollen the great dams, three in number, lying in the narrow valley above the three big mills, until the massive masonry could not resist the tremendous pressure, but burst asunder lke a pasteboard barrier. On as quick as thought the wild wall of water swept down upon the bnge brick mills with thelr en- vironing rows of cottages, crushing thelr ‘steel-gtrdered walls as though they wero egg shells and carrying upon its seething, churning surface hundreds of frame cottages as though they were corks. The property destruction. was com- plete, the bricks and machinery of the three mills being scattered for milex down the valley and mingled with the kindling wood de ris of thé opeza- tives’ cottages and uproo.dd trees. Fortunately, most of the inhabitants of Pacolet and Clifton had been pufll- elently alarmed by the menacing as- pect of the heavens shortly before the | eloudburst to cause them to flee to the bluffs and highlands above the narrow valley in whlch they lived, and this wise precaution saved hundreds of humand ‘ives. A few Mngered too long in the valley of death. Half a Hundred Known Dead. The latest reports placo the eatl- mated loss of Ife at fifty-five. The known dead are: *At Clifton Mills No, 3—Mrs. Will Kirby, Miss Maggle sfrby, Mrs. Jobn Owens and her four children, Mr, — Hall and his eight children, Mr. and Mrs. Elders, Garland Long, Mrs, Gar- land Long, Sam Swaingan, Mrs. Sam Swaingan, Miss Fieta Goss. At Clifton Mills No. 2—Augustus Calvert, Mrs. Augustus Calvert, Lucy Calvert, Feshx Calvert, Robern Fin- ley, Mrs. Robert Finley and thelr five boarders, Mrs. B. F. Finley, Mrs. B. S. Johnson and four, children, threo ‘Williams chikiren, Marle Sims. List of the known dead is now 43, and there are known to be fourteen ethers drowned at Satuc and Clifton mill3 No. 2. Total, 57. Five bodles have been recovered, ono of which has been identified as Lucy Calvert -and the other two as Maggie: Kirby and three children of Mrs. Willams. B, S, Johnson, who. was reported to have drowned, after having clung to a house top from Clin- ton down to Pacolet, a distance of eight mites, who, when last seen, went over the dam at Pacolet, escaped by catching to the overhanging boughs of a tree, returned to Clifton Sunday only to find that his wife and four chil- dren were al] drowned. Some of the actual scenes along the banks of the river were sad beyond portrayal. While the flood was at Its height. scores of persons floated down WAR SHIPS OFF CHINA. Veesels in the Orient A Washington special says: Coming close on the heels of a long report form Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans, commander in chief of the Asiatic squadron, concerning the grave inter- nal situation in China, the assem- blage of his squadron in Ohineso “watera { regerded here as slgnificant.. The battleships Kentucky and Ore- gon and the protected crulser New Orleans have arrived at Chofoo, the moniter Monterey and the collier Pom: fey at Shanghai, oo4 the channel of the stream. Many of these were picked up by, rescuers, who did their utmost to save those who clung to the roofs of houses and float ing timbers, Barly in the morning two children apparently around twelve years of age, appeared directly in mld, stream. In their terrible voyage they erlod out most piteously. It was Impossible to get to their rescué, and both children were seen to go over the Pacolet dam in each others arms. As the’ Topeka, Kans. disaster was oclipsed by the Gainesville horror, ao it now"soems im turn that the loss of property, If not of life, in the Georgia city will be eclipsed by the great wave of devastation which swept through and over the great milling districts of Clifton and Pacolet with such destruc- ‘tive violence. ‘The property loss is placed at over $3,000,000. The mills were the most complete and valuable factories in tho south, and were literally wiped out of existence with their entire equipment. ‘The three dams were massive struc- tures and represented ghousands ‘of dollars in thelr construction, The warehouses of the mills, with thelr stocks of manufactured goods and raw cotton went with the rest. The two villages had their churches, school houses, hétcls and other, large bulldings, and their ruins Ne strewn along the margin of the receding flood or afford obstruction to the sullen tide. Scene Beggars Description. The scene for miles below the eite of the demolished mill towns beggars description, The wreckage and debris 1g piled many feet thick in places, and thousands of people from miles around are wandering along the path- way of the storm demon searching for bodies and attracted by the urwonted terror of the spectacle. The scene of devastation could not well be more complete. 7 Victor Bf, Montgomery, the owner of the Pacolet mills, has sustained | nearly the entire loss as estimated in the foregoing. He was also the owner , of the illfated Pacolet mill at New Holland, near Gainesville, Ga. Enormous Property Loos, | Owing to the absolute isolation of Spartanburg, terrible suffering cannot possibly be prevented from the many thousands afflicted by the catastrophe. Appeals are being sent out for aid, In these appeals money {s particularly re_ quested, as provisions cannot reach any of the points, owing to the fact that railroad bridges are down in ev- | ety direction. The latest reports of damages susalned are given by those in authority as follows: | Pres{dent Moitgomery, of the Pa-: colet mills, places their Joss at $1,000,- | 000. President A. H. Twitchell, of the. Clifton Manufacturing Company mills, places the Joss ct $1,200,600. For the D, E. Converse Company, at Glendale, 5. C., the éstimate Is $50,000. Tuca- pau mills, $25,000. Lockhart mills, 525,000, Fairmont, $5,000. Whitney, 3,000; Lolo, $5,000. Total mill loss, }3.280,000, ¥ . Over 3,000 employes in the mills of he Clifton Manufacturing Company re out of work and in destitute cir- sumstances, ‘At Pacolet 2,000 people are practl- j sally destitute. In the smaller alls | of the county the number thrown out of employment will exceed 5,000. All day Sunday hundreds of people jovered bout the scene of destruc. ion. The survivors stood upon the spots occupted by the homes of, their lead friends&; Not a trace of helf a nindred homes is now visible, In | tome places the sites occupied by the | 1ouses are buried beneath great sand sanks and anly an occasional piece of plank projecting through the sand would indicate that a honse stood in hat place.

Completely Exonerated by Committee. CHARGE WAS “LOBBYING” Acceptance of Fee Was Not ‘Untavdtul, and Charges Made Were Untrue, Says Committee—House Adopts Report. Te | A Tallabassce special says: Sever- al weeks ago a sensation rang through | Florida occasioned by the asoption oy the Jowgr house of the logislature of a resolution providing for a committee |to investigate the alloged lobbying of Hon, Jefferson B. Browne, chairnian [>t the Florida railroad commission, to secure the passage: of a bill appro- | priating $10,000 for the purchase by the state from Monroe county of the Key West armory and site, It was’ alleged that Mr. Browne was to receive $1,000 of thls appropriation to “lobby” the bill through, and, belng a state official, his actlon was repre- hensible and should recelve legislative investigation. The committee was duly appointed, consisting of Messrs. Mote cf Lake, Finlayson of Lafayette, and Johnson ct Pasco.’ The committee has made its report, setting 1orth the facts and basing Sts conclusions largely upon an opinion of Attorney (-eneral James B. Whitfield, ‘The facts developed were that Mr. Browne was consuited professionally on tho right of the county to colloct a tax to pay for the maintenance of an ermory, and, as he advised thet the county had no such right, under a re- cent detision of the supreme court, to Propose some method by which the, burden which the county had taken upon itself in erecting tho armory could be borne by the state, After several coneultations with the county commissioners, Mr. Browne ad- vised that the only way to reach the desired result would be for the legis- lattire to authorize the state to pur: chase the property. Upon being azkod what would bo his charge to do thls, Mr. Browne replied $1,2u0, but he was offered 10 per cent of the smount ap- Propriated, a proposition which was acceptod. : 7 It was understood in the contrast Detween Mr. Browne and the board that, In addition to rendéring opinions, he was to draft a proper pill to be in- aroduced in the legislature by one of the members from Monroe county, and get up the data necessary to be pre- sented to that body, and show the nec- essity for the county saving an ar- mory, {ts cost, etc.; to make argu- ments before the committee, if nec- essary; and to cxamine and report on the fitle, and present proof of its val- {dity to the proper s.ate authorities, to whom the question of title would ‘be referred; and to go into court with ‘a bill to remove eny cloud from the title and cure all defects in the same, if necessary. 4 Senator Harris and Representatives Roberts and Knowles, the Monroe county delegation, each testificd that so far as he knew no lobbying had been done by Mr. Browne. ‘The investigating committee, in con- cluding its report, found as follows: Your committee, after thorough in- vestigation and careful consideration of all evidence, both oral and written, brought before |t, beg to report that they find that the sald Hon. Jofferson B, Browne did go “lobbying” in con- nection with sald house bill No. 162, known as the “Key West Armory Bill,” and find that he acted within the intent and meaning of bis sald con- tract with the board of county com- missioners of Monroe county, Florida, and that his actions in the matter were in nowiso illegal, and we therefore recommend that tho sald Hon. Jeifer- son B, Browne be fully exoncrated in connection with this matter. Heport Adopted by House. The report of the investigating com mittee completely vindicating Hon. Jefferson B.

The amount is estimated at from $40,000 to $75,000. The warrant makés the specific charge of embezzlement of $3.00, which represents only a portion of the alleged peculations. ‘Watson was not bonded, and in case he or his relatives, several of whom are said to be wealthy, fall to make good the alleged’ losses, Auditor J, T. Petty wHI bé held responsible for the amount, The auditor's bond is for $20,000. @ ‘The money alleged to have been em- bezzled was part of the funds deposit- ed with the auditor by property own- ers who aro willing to pay half or ell costs of improvements abutting o2 thelr property, such as paving, sewer- age, etc. ‘ ‘This embraces deposits by railway companies, electric Nght companies and telephone companies and is en- tirely separate from the,other ac- counts. ‘This account is not subject to review by the treasury department, but is checked by the clerk fp charge of the corresponding account in the department and he reported it correct as late as February, 1902.

Tanner, father of Wiley F. Tanner, who diod under suspicious cir- cumstances at his home jn Clinch dis; trict, Hall county, Ga., Saturday, May 23, swore out a warrant Monday <f- ternoon against Mrs, Onfe Tanner, wife of the young man who dled, charging her with murder. The warrant wasjimmedlately turn: ed ver to Sheriff Gilmer, of Hall county, and the officer left for the home of Frank Duncan, father of the young woman, where she was etaying, to make the arrest and return her to Gainesville to be incarcerated in the Hall county jail. ‘The state chemist Monday morning forwarded the result of his Investiga- tions to Dr. J. D, Mauldin, of Flowery Branch, who immediately communica- ted the seme to John W. Tanner at his home near Chestnut mountain. * Tanner at once hitched u, his teart and wert to Gainesville, where tho warrant was sworn out at 5:20 o'clock: ‘p.m. The result of the chemist's ana- lysis showed nine-tenths of a grain of strythnine in the stomach and glass from which milk was drank. This was sufficient to satisfy Tanner, ‘and ho at once proceeded to swear out a war- rant, cHarging his daughter in law with murder. ‘The case is gne of the most sensa- tional ever occurring in the county, and has aroused great interest. Sat- urday, May 23, Tanner sat down to his noonday meal, apparently in the best of health and in the enjoyment of 2 contented home, with his bride of two months. She had already parta- ken of her meal when he arrived, but, Ike the happy wife she wks supposed to be, sat down by her husband and talked pleasantly to him. .Tho merl had only proceeded a short time when Tanner turned to his, wife and re- marked that there must be something the matter with the buttermilk, at the game time asking her to taste it. which she did, Ske spit out what she @rank withou: swallowing ® any, and Tanner poured the remainder in a slop tub, which was afterwards given some hogs, which, after drinking of the milk, also dled. In 2 few moments Tanner was deathly sick and, screaming to his wife that he was poisoned, Tanner ran to the home of his uncle, Henry Tan- ner, a short distance away, crying to him that he was deathly sick, Wiley’s unele ran toward him and caught him In his arms as he was about to sink to the earth, To hig uncle Jahn Tanner repeated what he had sald to bis wife—that he had been polsoned. All was done for bim that his people knew what to do, but In forty-five minutes life was ex- tinct, his body assuming a rigidity that usually follows the administration of strychnine or similar polsons. Iho young man's death belng so pecullar, John Tanner, his father, had Coroner Dorsey! to hold an inquest over the body the Sunday following. ‘During the investigations, It was 3e- e\ded to have an analysis, made of the young man’s stomach, Accordingly . the inquest was suspended until a body of physicians made the test, which was done Monday, May 25, by Dr. B. P, Ham, Dr. K. A. Smith qnd Dr. T. C.

On account of the crowded condition of our columns many important articles have been left out. The school census is being taken. Parents must see to it that all of their children are reported. Much depend upon this being done. ALTHOUGH our people are very poor, yet they could do no better act than contributing a few cents toward the sufferers in the localities where recent fatalities occurred. THE following editorial clipped from the Waycross Journal is a commendable one coming from the source it did. It shows that a terrible state of semi-slavery exists in this state and it has its hot bed in Ware county. Space forbids a full account of the case, but suffice to say that a colored woman was charged with a crime, found not guilty. A lawyer whom she claimed she did not hire, charged fifty dollars for his services, not having the money she said she was forced to go to the farm of the McKee brothers and work it out. Although she was already married her captors compelled her to marry, again. She was not only whipped but compelled to sign certain papers giving the McKees charge of a young son. The case was called to the attention of the Ware county officials with the result that she was released. It is said that there are a number of colored persons at that farm illegally. The following editorial speaks The following editorial speaks for itself: In presenting the testimony of Lula Frazier, we do not vouch for its accuracy or its verity. We are merely giving the public the result of the county commissioners' efforts to discover the facts about certain citizens of this county, who are alleged to have been mistreated. The public must be judge of the truth. Indeed, we wish that Lula Frazier might be held accountable for about that blamelessness of truth. It was better for her to lie than for the great state of Georgia to be harboring a condition so rotten that the putrid smell of its mellow carcass foils even the vulturer sense of joy. If there be the slightest shade of truth in Lula Frazier's story before the commissioners, we would pipe for revolution and a change in the color of the victim's skin would bring it on. The burden of guilt. If Lula's story be true, falls on the McRees but incidentally a few of our nearer neighbors have been caught in its meshes. But we charge our readers to reflect before they place themselves in the arms of bears the brunt of blame at this end of the line. Mr. Crawley tells the truth when he says he has done no "more than the officers of the court do when they allow the McRees to pay fines of convicts and carry them to their camps". If, as she says, the McRees have her a fee of fifty dollars to defend her, and if that fee were excessive, it is a personal matter and not a matter of public concern but when Mr. Crawley traded her off to the proprietors of a private convict camp where she was locked up, beaten and even forced into the unlawful state of bigamy, and forced into the unlawful state of bigamy and the public must demand correction or bear the infamy of such a shame. But stop: Mr. Crawley is not responsible for this condition. He is no more to blame than the serrufa and solicitors all over the state of Georgia, who practice the same methods here, the year, the place, only cases, the place, McRae is not the only camp. It is practiced all over the state and under the laws of the state' and the state of Georgia is behind this barter in flesh and blood. It is the fee system which governs the laws of Georgia and constables and crime-hunters like our One Arm Charles, to dig up cases, real and fanciful, against men, and convict them if possible, whether guilty or not. The fee system forces hundreds into jail who, like Bula Frazier, have committed crimes, counsel and pay for some by long terms of servitude in private camps. The lawyers, as a rule, are against the repeal of the fee system, because the system makes business for them. It brings more people into court, and increases fees, and is committed, where there should be no need of a lawyer as in the case of Lula Frazier. Attorneys tell us that a repeal of the fee system will not prevent a continuance of the court, and vice versa and taking them into their service for any length of time the parties may willingly or unwillingly agree to serve. It may not, but it will do this; it will destroy the comity existing between the parties, and will wate convict camps and when that cordial entents is destroyed, the crimes these private leses commit by whipping and confining Negroes, will no longer be overlooked or condoned, and when that conviction up and beat them at will, they will no longer contract for such labor, and the results will be the Negro convicts will no longer have their fines paid, and consequently, they will have to serve out their terms in the public roads where they properly belong. It is time the state of Georgia were going out of the slave business, and when the governor decided to private convict camps, lawyers will sell no more men and women for their fees.

Your Best Chance In this issue on the local page will be seen Mr. E. E. G. Black's auction notice of the sale of lots for July 2, on the premises beginning at Waldburg and Paulsen streets. These lots are to be sold exclusively to colored persons. The location is good and the neighborhood promises to be one of the best for colored people in the city. Each lot has a thirty foot front and a depth of from 105 to 121 feet. All the lots that have been sold are to representative colored business men. We commend Mr. Black's position and trust that his undertaking to furnish the better class of colored citizens with a good respectable section to build their homes will meet with unprecedented success. We are advised that Mr. Wm. Durden, the plasterer, has bought and build his own home. Mr. E. W. Sherman, the Railway Mail Clerk, has just completed a most attractive residence and Dr. J. H. Bugg have purchased three of the lots, upon which residences will be built in a very short time. With these parties already located in this section, it is a guarantee within itself that Mr. Black's undertaking will not suffer for want of purchasers at this sale. Local Brevities.

An odd shirt waist which is sure to appeal to the girl who loves things original is made of linen, with stitched linen straps in a contrasting color as the trimming. The waist itself is ge- ply plain, but across the bust and way below it and the waist line e are five slashes just large enough a stitched linen band to be run high. A shirt waist made in this style was of mercerized linen. i the stitched straps in light blue a, each strap finished with a narb blue cotton fringe. The straps e fastened at the neck and shoulders of the waist, and then were drawn rough the two slashes. The upper rt of the sleeve was slashed in the in way as the front of the waist, and one strap was used as the decorations.—Woman's Home Companion. 'TWAS EVER THUS: She was trying to buy a hat, but with the usual uncertainty of mind as the kind she wanted, or whether she wanted a hat at all. After trying on early every model in the shop she pounced with glove on one she had overlooked. "Here's something pretty" she said. "Why did you not show me this more?" Without waiting for an answer, she appealed to her patient friend. "There's some style about his, isn't there? How do I look?" she friend distinctly sniffed. "It makes you look a hundred, and it is very lowdy." she said. The other tried the hat at another angle. "It is rather lowdy," she admitted at this juncture; perhaps I won't risk it, after all. "voice behind her made its third attempt to gain a hearing. "If you've mute done with my hat," it said, very bitterly, "I should rather like to put it in."—New York Commercial Advertiser. WHAT THE FACE INDICATES. The oblong face has the highest standing for physical beauty. People with this face have been perception and are very imaginative, but are not usually highly intellectual, although they are often talented. The possessor of the oval face is also self-reliant and intolerable, besides being constant in their friendship. The round-faced woman is amiable, impulsive and often fickle. Unlike her oval-faced sister, she does not possess the quality of perseverance. Liking case too much to succeed in anything that alls for hard work and sacrifice of comfort. The pryiform, or pear-shaped face, usually goes with the high, broad forehead and is an indication of intellectuality. The features are delicate and clearly defined. The neck is slender. The woman with this type of face is usually tall and her chest is narrow, and she is lacking in physical endurance.—American Queen. DUCHESS OF BEAUFORT. The Duchess of Beaufort, whose husband holds the hereditary right of hold the Queen's crown, was the widow Saron Carlo de Turlil when she married the Duke, at that time Marquis of receter, and who had long been sed upon as a confirmed bachelor. Duchess, niece Miss Louise Harford, gater of Mr. William Henry Hard, of Oldown, Gloucester, is immsely popular in her hu-band's counhome, and great were the rejoicening, a little while ago, the much-shed-for son and heir arrived, so the title Marquis of Worcester, which the Duke only dropped in 1890, he succeeded to the Dukedom, not long been in abeyance, says man's Life. The young Duchess is most daring horsewoman, and it is that hers was a romance of the ig field, where her prowess and je are particularly noteworthy, sixth of the little Marquis of Wormade a great difference in the acts of Mr. Somerset, son of Lady Somerset, who till then was re- as the future Duke. LADY OF THE LABLAT. amberlain can handle a rope with a exertor that has made her famous through the cattle regions of the West. She is a wonderful horsewoman and a skillful general in a round-up. Born in Michigan, Mrs. Chamberlain has spent the last eight years in the West. Her husband has been coaching her in the work for years, but some of her most remarkable swings she invented herself. Using a fifty-yard rope, Mrs. Chamberlain can capture a racing broncho with astounding certainty and ease. In a stampede she is as cool as the best, and few are quicker and surer with the rope than she. She dresses for her work in a blouse and bloomers and rides astride. Such dexterity as her would be impossible in skirts. She takes exercises that would entail the usual beauty-skewer who swings a two-pound dumbbell. With her stylish rope, Mrs. Cham berlain, standing well poised, throws circles back of her, in front, over or at the side, the spinning rope being started with a small circle which gradually enlarges as the rope is paid out. She next holds the circling rope, first in her right hand, then upon the wrist and forcarm, then on the left hand, wrist and arm. This is called the "shifting circles act," and is one of the most difficult known. Then encircled by the spinning rope, the woman leaps into and out of the revolving loop without marring the curve. An instant's hesitancy, a single move, would send the fifty yards of rope out in a horizontal line and cause it to collapse in an instant.—Chicago Inter-Ocean. Govdoir CHAT: Medicine as a profession for women is growing in popularity in London. Women now holding medical degrees in Great Britian number more than 500. The Magpie Club of Skagway was occupied the past winter with the history of Alaska, lightened by novels, accounts of travel and stories relating to the life of the country. Mine. Loubet, wife of the French President, believes in co-education. Recently at a society of French mothers she brought down upon herself severe criticism by advocating American methods of training girls. Berlin has few clubs outside of housewives' associations. Lately there has been established there a society, for the improvement of the dress of women. It is said that some really beautiful "reformed" gowns have been designed for the society. Miss Laura Mirlam Cornellius, a fullblood Oneida, who lives on an Indian reservation in Wisconsin, is making a book of the traditions and legends of her tribe. She also contemplates a novel dealing with the history of the Oneidas, and has made a grammar and dictionary of her native tongue. In the opinion of a physician who has been a close observer of the effect of athletics upon women, hand ball is one of the best physical exercises. It is better than tennis, with its "high reach," and again it is much better than golf. It brings many muscles into moderate exercise, and does not tax a few only, as do some of the other popular forms of athletics. A non-clubwoman thus writes: "So many such organizations are merely selfish social sets, affording opportunity for display and petty social bickering, with feeble attempts at self-improvement—which they need, to be sure, quite badly enough to excuse their spending their efforts on themselves for awhile possibly. I feel that I have not time for such things." Lady Wilfrid Laurier is the only woman who has ever spoken in the Parliament House of Canada. At a reception given in the House by the Speaker some one noticed Lady Laurier standing at the foot of the throne, and there arose a demand for a speech from her. The call was only half-meant at first, but at length grew so persistent that Lady Laurier was obliged to comply. A pongee parasol, with lace insets is ultra-smart. A Chantilly bolero, with ruffles like revers, is very smart. Velvet pansies make one of the pretty Leghorn hat trimming. Narrow point de Venise applique edges chiffon ruffles effectively. A straight-across effect on hats, either in flowers or foliage, is noted. Leghorn and chip are the prime favorites for midsummer large hats. Cherries, black and red, are among the very attractive hat trimmings. High girdles that end in sash ends at the back are among the latest ideas. Egyptian and Bulgarian embroidery are equally smart on suits of linen and cloth. Ring nets are among the prettiest foundations for lace and silk appliqué work. Lovely ribbon scrolls fulled in ripple effect are a sensation in imported costumes. One Marie Antolinette wreath is often placed upon the front brim of a picture hat. June roses are used in true form and they are among the prettiest of embroideries. Red shoes, parasol and hat trimming are a vivid finish to a white frock for country wear. Silk fringe a good inch in width figures in long rows on a pink parasol fresh from Paris. Wreaths are among the loveliest garnitures, and may be embroidered in silk, in ribbon or set on en applique. Four big buttons in some instances catch together the lower parts of some sleeves—voluminous ones, of course. Ribbons are still run through laces. Baby widths through headings and the edges of wide laces, and even broad sash ribbons through some very open laces. Fancy haudkerschlefs are developing to a marked extent. The Intestidea is an all-over checked gray, green tint or blue. It is quite as novel to shape a big sleeve down to a funnel-shaped cush as it is to have the cush in a separate piece.

The princess protested, out her pro On a night when all were sleeping. To drink the cloud whey from the wide milky way, And he set all the little stars weeping! But the man in the sun made a frosted snow bun, And declared it far sweeter than whey.

Another piece of straw is fixed to the other end with the help of scaling wax, after boring a small hole in the centre of the cork to connect the second piece of straw with the first (A). After closing the two ends of the piece of straw holes are bored next to them on the opposite sides, into which small pieces of straw are fastened with scaling wax (B-B), says the Pittsburgh Dispatch. Three pieces of thread fastened to the rim of the cork at equal distances connect with a button suspended by a thread running through its centre (see illustration). The water wheel is now ready, and if you let a small stream of water run into the cork the water will run through the straw and set the apparatus into quick motion. If it appears too hard to join the pieces of straw with scaling wax little corks can C B A C be used, as shown in the centre figure of our illustration. Should straw be too fragile metal tubes can be substituted. The end of the tube going through the bottom of the cork is cut and bent (as shown in C of centre illustration) and suspended from a thin wire, around which the whole wheel turns. Instead of two, four side tubes can be used, and by bending the ends carefully the job of joining smaller tubes can be avoided. Suspend the apparatus over the table after the lamp is lighted. Pour hot alcohol into the corks, light the small stream coming from the small tubes, then extinguish the lamp and a miniature rain of fire will fall on the pudding or cake placed under the wheel. THE KING'S HORSE. Once upon a time there was a king who had no sons, but one daughter. It was a great disappointment not to have a son, but those who cast the horoscope of the daughter told him that his daughter would be a great blessing to the kingdom while she lived, and at her death would bequeath untold riches. As this story was widely known the princess had many admirers who sought betrothal with her. And the king was greatly distressed as to choice of the right one. When she was grown she was very beautiful—so beautiful that myriads of pilgrims came to the temple to beg for the gift of beauty and to burn incense. This brought prosperity, and thus the prophecy of her birth was fulfilled. But the king could no longer delay the betrothal of his daughter, as so many princes desired her that the kingdom was continually in trouble with other kingdoms. One day the princess' father was out hunting, when a powerful king surprised him and carried him away captive to a far-away kingdom. The prime minister and privy councillors met and issued an edict saying the hand of the princess would be given to the man who rescued the king. High up in the clouds was a demigod who loved the princess, but since she was a mortal woman could not wed her, but when this trouble came he entered the body of the king's favorite horse, which broke away from the groom, went straight to the king and brought him back. But the prime minister, being horrified when the horse brought back the king, ordered the horse to be killed at once. But the king who had carried away the father of the princess was very powerful, and came again and again against the king, and it was finally decided by the king and his counsellors that it was bad to betroth the princess to the son of their enemy, for the good of the kingdom. The princess protested, out her protestations were of no avail. Wheed the hour came for the wedding she resisted, weeping, struggling valiantly with her attendants. A servant, hearing the outcry, came into the court yard dragging with him the skin of a horse, which he was about to cut into strings. But the soul of the demi-l哥 lover in the skin of the horse awoke and he wrapped the skin around the princess and she became the first cocoon.

Any boy can make this pretty, and amusing toy, and have plenty of fun with it. All he needs is an empty spool, a piece of cardboard and a piece of pine wood. File the heads off two pins, and then drive the pins into the end of the spool. 1 2 a 3 as shown in drawing No. 1. Out of the pine wood make a handle, as shown in No. 2, the small part of it being trimmed to fit loosely in the hole through the spool. This part should be exactly the same length as the spool, so that when the spool is placed on it the top of the handle will be flush with the top of the spool. Drive a headless pin, also, in the top of the handle. Now fake the piece of cardboard and out of it cut a figure shaped like No. 3, making three holes in the middle part of it an awl or a darning needle may be used to make the holes. Bend the edges marked "a" and "b" in opposite directions, and you have everything ready for giving the whirligig a "fly." To do this, place the spool on the handle and wind a piece of twine around the spool; then put the cardboard on top, letting the three pins pass through the holes in its middle part. Now, for the "fly." Take the handle in your left hand and hold it upright. Then, with a quick movement of your right hand, jerk the twine from the spool, just as you would from a top in spinning it, and away will go the cardboard figure making a very graceful flight through the air. If the "flyer" does not fly at the first trial, take it off the spool and put it on again with the other side of it down next the spool. In other words, just reverse the flyer, for its action depends on the way it strikes the air in revolv- The Flight. ing, and you can't always tell which side should be upward until you try it. In one case, the air makes it fly away; in the other case it makes it stay more firmly on the spot. The effect is much better if the flyer is painted in bright colors—Brooklyn Eagle.

Indeed, some have gone the length to state that strawberries may not only be taken with impunity by the rheumatic and gouty, but with a distinct advantage, if not relief. It is a somewhat curious coincidence, therefore, that in the strawberry the presence of salicylic acid, which is a specific in acute rheumatism, has been definitely established. As a matter of fact, salicylic acid would appear to be a normal constituent of most fruits. At any rate, this acid has been found not only in the strawberry, but in grapes, apples, plums, oranges and cherries, although the amount is probably less than one milligramme (one sixty-fourth of a grain) per kilogramme (two pounds) of fruit. It is hardly possible, therefore, that the strawberry should have any specific medicinal effect attributable to the salicylic acid present. A few weeks back there was recorded in our columns a formidable case of spruce in which strawberries in the diet appeared to act as a specific in the disease. As is well-known, most fruits possess anti-scorbutic properties and contain salts which readily become converted into carbonates in the system, thus tending to maintain an alkaline condition and preventing the formation of acid deposits. The fact, however, that salicyl acid exists normally in fruits is of interest in connection with the use of calylic acid as a preservative in jams. It is possible that some magistrates may regard this natural occurrence of the acid in fruits as a plausible defence in those cases in which procedures are taken for the addition of small quantities of the preservative.—The Lancet. --- An Expensive Mantle The mantle of sable fur given to the Empress of Russia on her coronation was valued at $80,000.

In speaking of the profitable management of geese a bulletin of the Department of Agriculture says: Goose raising is not so extensively engaged in as duck raising, the conditions under, which they can be successfully raised being almost entirely different from those necessary for successful duck raising. The duck, being smaller, can be raised in a more limited space than can the goose, the latter needing free range and water, while the former has been proved to do equally as well without water. While the goose cannot profitably be raised in as large numbers as the duck, still it cannot justly be termed unprofitable. There are many places on a farm that are worthless for cultivation that could be utilized with excellent results for goose raising. Fields that have streams, branches, or unused springs on them could be turned to good advantage by making them into goose pastures. Many farmers are profiting by this and adding to their incomes annually. The care and attention necessary for raising geese are very small when compared with the returns, and the cost of food is also proportionately small in comparison with the cost of food used for other birds bred for market. A goose on range will gather the largest portion of its food, consisting of grasses, insects, and other animal and vegetable matter to be found in the fields and brooks. The simplest kinds of houses are used for shelter; these should be built after the plans of those given for ducks, but should be proportionately of larger size to accommodate comfortably the number of birds to be kept. Geese are long-lived birds, some having been known to attain the age of forty years, while birds of fifteen and twenty years of age are not uncommon. They retain their laying and hatching qualities through life. Ganders should not be kept for bregling after three years of age; young ganders are more active and insure greater fertility of the eggs than old ones; besides, ganders become more quarrelsome as age advances. The feathers of geese are an important source of revenue and find a ready sale in the market. A goose will average about one pound of feathers a year. The feathers should be plucked when there is no blood in the ends of the quills; this can be readily ascertained, as they will then leave the flesh without hard pulling. Almost all breeds of geese are good sitters and attentive mothers, and if left to them selves will make their nests, much as when wild, and hatch a large percentage of their eggs. But hens are now more frequently used for hatching geese eggs; as by taking the eggs from the goose whee, laid and giving them to hens to hatch, the goose will lay a greater number of eggs than if she were permitted to sit. All breeds of geese, except perhaps the Egyptian, are to be recommended to farmers who keep a limited number in addition to other poultry and allow them the freedom of the farm, but when goose raising is to be more extensively engaged in, the African goose is to be especially commended. It is the quickest to mature, more prolific, and the easiest to handle of any of the varieties. NOT IN THE HOUSE. Kaller—That's a nice smoking jack- et you've got. Henpeck—Not at all.

HE snow was hard and not very deep. Klein, with his long legs, was walking briskly on the road from Zagrab to Penikla. He was scantily clothed with his short coat, his cloak still shorter, and his summer trousers not quite reaching his ankles. And then—his shoes were so much worn out. He pressed his fute amorously against his heart. He had a few small glasses of rum in his stomach and a great deal of contentment in his head. For that very morning he had signed an engagement as organist with the curate of Penikla. Until that day he had been roaming like a Tighane, from inn to inn, from one fair to another, from wedding to wedding, wretchedly getting his daily bread by playing the fute or the organ. And, let it be said, by the lye, he played the organ better than any one else in the country. Now, at last, he could settle down and live decently. A house and a garden, 150 roules a year, without reckoning the extras, and above all the consideration attached to a position in a church, to a profession devoted to the glory of God! He had never wished as much in his most ambitious dreams. All those who leaked at him as a kind of trump should be compelled now to treat him as a gentleman. For a long time Klen had coveted the position without any hope of getting it while old Mielnitzkl still persisted in living. The fingers of the latter were mostly paralyzed, but the curate would never have consented to replace him, in consideration of their twenty years' friendship. At last Mielnitzkl died through an accident and Klen hastened to apply for the situation. The curate, well acquainted with his talcant, engaged him immediately. Klen was really a remarkable artist. He never had studied music, but he played marvelously well not only the flute and the organ, but also several other instruments. It was not a case of heredity nor of education. His father, a soldier during most of his life, had turned a plain ropemaker in his old age, and the good man practiced no other wind instrument than his smoking pipe, which. It is true, seldom left the corner of his mouth. Yet Klen, from his childhood, had shown a decided talent. Michutzki had given him some organ lessons. But the urchin one day suddenly departed with a band of strolling players. He wandered for several years. Then the troop dispersed by degrees, one dying, another disappearing without leaving any trace. Klen returned to his native village of Zagrab. He was as thin as a church mouse. So far he had just shifted by playing for a trifle, but often for the love of God. People wondered at his irregular and precarious life, but they were unanimous when praising his talent. From Zagrab to Ponikla all declared readily: "When Klen begins to play the Lord is pleased and men are in raptures." That did not prevent them from adding with much concern: "He must be possessed by a peculiar and devilish spirit." The remark was judicious, for at times he had the look of a sorcerer, particularly when during these last years, on some holidays, he replaced old Mielnitzki at the organ of Ponikla. Then he was unconscious of all that was not his adored instrument. It happened that in the middle of mass, when the congregation was the most deeply engaged in prayers, and when the priest, enwrapped in the fumes of incense, gave his benediction, Klen's organ seemed to spread over the whole an impalpable gauze, and to raise slowly toward heaven the priest, the censor, the vapors of perfume, the congregation, and even the tinkling of the bells. Klen positively did not realize that he was the one who, performed these marvels. He completely imagined that the organ played unalided, that the sounds sprang by themselves out of the leaden pipes, to scatter first like rain, then like dew, in order to fill up the church and make vibrate together the altars and the hearts. Sometimes he was terrified at the thunderbolts starting from the magic instrument, and the next moment he enjoyed listening to a melody falling like the pearls of a rosary. When he came down from his seat after mass he looked haggard, and tootled as if lnebrlated, or rather as one suddenly awakened. The curate, putting some money in his hand, complimented him. The people bowed respectfully to the vagrant in wlom, at that moment, they felt an eminent superlarity. Klen did not loiter before the church in order to enjoy praises. It was to contemplate in passing what was the most deary to him in the world, after music of course. We mean Olka, the daughter of a working man of Zagatha. He admitted her eyes, the color of the hair, help the color of gold, and he Work in the world for the folk thereof; With every deed that is done in love Some crisscross matter is smoothed for age; The spirit sees straight and clear; You may worry over God's grinding laws, You may.probe and probe for the great first cause; felt at his heart a sharp pain like the piercing of a knife. This restored him to his full reason, and he repeated to himself a thousand times that never would Olkin's father give his daughter to a vagrant, and that he had better think no more of the young girl. This was easily said, but the knife had penetrated so deeply that the strongest pincers could not have withdrawn it. Olkin, on her side, at first had loved Klen's music, then she had loved the musician. That penniless fellow, queer with wild-looking eyes, dark complexion, with clothes. always too narrow and too short, with long and thin legs like those of a stork, had at last become dear to her. The father, though he himself also had often empty pockets, did not wish to hear anything of Klen. "My daughter will have no trouble to find better," he declared. "Does not every one admire her beauty? She will never be reduced to accept a man on whose arm she would be ashamed to present herself." It was then, with ill grace that he opened his door to the musician—which did not often happen. But the death of Melnitzkil changed everything. As soon as Klen had signed his contract with the curate he hastened to announce it to Oika. The father for the first time invited him to sit down and offered him one after another several little glasses of rum. And when the young girl came in he gravely told her that henceforth Klen was going to be a gentleman—much better, the first in Ponikla, after the dean. Then, also for the first time, the musician had been authorized to remain near Olka from noon until evening, and night was coming as he returned to Pontkla with the snow crackling under his feet. The frost was sharp, but Klen had never been so happy, and he felt very warm at heart in recalling the smallest incidents of that decisive day. Along the deserted road, to the fields buried under the snow, he carried his joy like a light across the increasing darkness. "What do I care for prosperity?" Olka had told him sweetly. "With you I would go beyond the seas, to the end of the world! But for father it is better that your position be settled." Then he had kissed her hands religiously, murmuring: "Olka, dear Olka, may God return to you all the happiness you give me in speaking so!" But now, thinking it over, he was mortified at, his own foolishness. He ought to have said many things differently; omitted this, added that, and particularly answered better to so important a declaration; think of a young girl telling a young man that, if it was not for her father she would follow him all over the world! It seemed to him that both were walking together on the white road. This did not prevent him from hurrying his steps, as the snow was cracking in a manner more and more alarming. "H! my Olkal! unique treasure, you are going to be a lady, my lady!" His heart swelled with gratitude. Ha! had she really been near him how he would press her in his arms with all his might! This is, yes, this is what he ought to have done one hour before at Zagrab! But it is always so. At certain moments one feels dizzy, and the tongue goes astray precisely when it ought to say so many, many things. Decidedly it is much more easy to play on the organ than to express in words what one has in one's heart. In the cold sky the stars began to twinkle with a sparkling light. Klen felt that his ears burned. To save time he took a small, familiar path across fields. His shadow longened funnily on the white earth. "If I played on my flute it might revive my fingers." A few sharp notes flew away in the night. They seemed like birds frightened by the surrounding silence, the intense frost, and the shroud which covered the land. And Klen modulated the gayest tunes of his reportoire, those Olka had asked him to play in accompaniment to her small voice. An old song, called "The Green Pitcher," had particularly pleased the father and the daughter. It was a dialogue between a lord and a maiden, which began thus: "Do not cry, child; I shall, pay for thy broken pitcher!" Olka, of course, figured the maiden with the green pitcher, and Klen the lord. This prodigiously amused the old workingman. And now, along the little-path across fields, Klen, with an ecstatic smile, played "The Green Pitcher," or rather attempted to play it. His fingers did not revive; he had to give up this journeying tool, his breath more and more at every moment. He had not thought that the snow was less hard and deeper in the fields than on the roads, and that he could not always trace the path. He allowed himself to be directed by chance. Then he tumbled at every step, burying his long legs in some unseen ditch. The stars sparkled still colder, and then the wind rose again. Klen was in perspiration, but he shivered. He tried once more to play on his fute. But he could not feel his fingers and could hardly move his lips. An impression of overwhelming solitude dawned upon him. He thought of the well-heated house which was ready for him at Ponikla; then of the one where he had spent the afternoon. "Olka must have retired at this hour; and, thank God, under her roof it is warm." The certainty that Olaa was warm made him happy, but caused him to suffer from the cold still more. He had passed the fields and was stepping through prairies bristling with bushes. He was so tired that he thought only of sitting down, no matter where. "I am going to rest a moment against the wind, near these bushes. My! Not I should freeze on the spot." He walked again—not much. Exhausted, he let himself fall down. "If I sleep, I am lost" He stretched his eyelids, shook his arms, moved his fingers, unfastened his lips and played on his flute the first notes of "The Green Pitcher." A few thin sounds rose in the ice night, and died away, slow and melancholy. Klen let fall his flute, but continued to struggle against the unconquerable slumber. He felt astonished to be alone in that desert of snow. "Olkal! Where are you?" he murmured. He moved once more his fingers, opened once more his eyes, and whispered: "Olka!" Dawn lightened; near a bush of broom, a human form with long and thin legs. A flute lily by its side. The blush face wore still an expression of wonder and attention. Klen died in listening to the old song: The Tale of the Tall. A writer in tracing the ancestry of the dog wolf and jackal notices typical differences in the cast of their eyes, their body colors and markings, the habit of turning around three times before lying down, and other interesting peculiarities, but he does not mention the most striking and infallible way of distinguishing them, namely, by the fashion in which they carry their tails. Wolves and coyotes have a sneaking way of carrying their tails low, almost hanging on the ground, while dogs carry their tails up, and the further removed they are from the general type, says Charles Hallock, the higher they carry them. Shepherds and collies, which retain many of their racial characteristics, carry their tails lowest of all; setters and pointers, a few degrees higher, stiffening out straight their tails to the spinal line; St. Bernard and Newfoundlands effect a curve over the back, while pugs actually come to a full twist. An old plainsman could tell a wolf or coyote as far as he could see him, and in buffalo days this was a most useful indication of buffalo herds being not far away. These predatory creatures always followed a moving hard—Philadelphia Record. Reminder of British VanGallisin. A vivid reminder of the burning of the Capitol by the British in 1814 came to hand recently in the repairs which are being made in the document room of the House of Representatives. This room is a three-concerned space in the northwest corner of the old hall of the House, or Statuary Hall, as it is called now. In making the repairs the old window sashes were taken out. Underneath was a charred window case, and when that, too, had been removed there was a quantity of lead found; the old window weight had been melted in the fire and run down into the crevice of the stone wall. This was dug out by Joel Grayson, and is being preserved by him as a memento. The window sashes were covered with a coat of dirty white paint, but their weight attracted the attention of the workmen, and the paint was scraped off sufficiently to show that they were solid mahogany, showing that nothing was thought too good to use in the original construction of the Capitol.—Washington Star. The British Beat Us. It isn't often that a British boat crew heats an American; the balance of victory hangs heavily on our side, but recently in Sydney the Yankee jackets got an awful walloping. Some months ago the supply ship Glacier made her regular call at Sydney for a cargo of meat for the Philippines. In the harbor lay the British flagship Royal Arthur, and the crew of the Glacier challenged her crew to a boat race. While the conditions were being talked over it came time for the American ship to leave so the race was postponed. According to British reports when the Glacier got back to Manila she got the picked oarsmen in the American fleet to take back to Sydney with her. The day of the race was made almost a holiday in Sydney. Practically all the town was on the water or on land where they could see the sport, and when the Britishers beat the Yankees by ten lengths in two miles bedlam reigned. — New York Commercial Advertiser.

Ryer rescued a woman from the sixth story of a burning building. He dashed into the adjoining tenement, and ran up the stairs to a window on the sixth floor. Horrified, the crowd saw him rest one foot on the coping below his window, and reach with his right hand for the window in which the woman stood. But he could not make it; he could barely touch the edge of the easing with the tips of his fingers. Some ornamental iron piping separated the buildings, and this he had practically to straddle. It seemed an impassable barrier, but Ryer stretched forth his right foot, barely placing his toes upon the desired coping. He was suspended six stops up, with only one hand grasping the easing—a none too firm hold—and, this he knew he must gradually release as he extended his reach to the other window. By working the fingers of his left hand to groove to groove he was enabled to move over and cautiously curl the tips of his right hand around the edge of the easing of the burning window, by the pressure of his bent finger-tips against the wood. He was so finely polished that a feather-weight would have unbalanced. Little by little Ryer worked the fingers of his right hand along until he got a slight hold on the inside of the window, and then, the cheers of some and the groans of others, he entered the burning room. There he found the woman unconscious on the floor, the flameslicking her shirts. A rope with which some citizens had attempted the poor creature's rescue dangled from the roof in front of the window. Seizing this, Ryer passed it twice around the woman's body under her arms, and made the other end fast about his own waist. Then he lowered her from the window, and himself straddling the sill, brought the sash down upon his leg, so to hold himself from falling. With wonderful muscular power he began to swing the woman like a pendulum. Back and forth she went over the heads of the horror-striken crowd, then with a last tremendous effort he projected the woman into the outstretched arms of some firemen in the window which he had quitted—Woman's Home Companion. A STRENUOUS LIFE. Lord Lyveden, who is to bring over a party of Parliamentarians this fall and show them the United States and Canada, is big and tall and vigorous and only forty-five. He has been a soldier, a sailor, a waiter on the Bowery, a ship's steward, an actor and a nursery man. Lyveden was a clergyman's son. As Percy Vernon he enlisted in the artillery, but bought himself out and joined Mr. Bancroft's Haymarket company in London for a time. Twenty years ago he came to this city with SIG cash capital and became a Bowery waiter. Presently he turned up in Charlotte, N. C., without money. "Like a young fool," he says, according to M. A. P., "I went to the best hotel and stayed three days. I had no money and was turned out, but as I was leaving the door a clerk pressed fifty cents into my hand, saying, 'I guess you'll want a bed-to-night, old man.' I lodged over a stable and in the morning got work driving a carriage. Eventually the hotel-keeper became my partner and best friend." In 1890 Mr. Vernon returned to England, married and started in the nursery business, originating a tomato, but the enterprise failed and he sailed as third steward on an Irish sea boat, as assistant steward on the unlucky City of Paris, and as bedroom steward on the steamship Nile, sailing to the Brazilis. In Buenos Ayres he contracted yellow fever, and on his recovery he became saloon steward in the Isle of Man service. He served two seasons with this company, then joined the Polytechnic steam yacht Ceylon as chief steward. Afterward, employing his own name, he became caterer on the Hamburg-Harwleh line. This position he resigned before he succeeded to the title. In 1883 Lord Lyveden was in Charleston. "I was then the partner in a small fishing boat," he says "and as we returned to the harbor, laden, going over the bar we shipped an enormous sea and the boat went to the bottom. The three hands and myself were fortunate enough to be rescued, but we lost everything. To crown all, the earthquake came on that same night." FRIGHT IN BATTLES. "A most unusual thing," said the sergeant, "happened in our company in West Virginia. There had been a skirmish in the mountains across the river from camp and our company was ordered up the road. We found signs of the enemy in less than a mile, and finally heard the noise of a heavy advancing column. The company was posted to command the mountain road, and the captain with two men went forward to reconnoiter. They came, at a sharp turn of the road, not ten yards away, face to face with the enemy's advance guard, and the captain, who was carrying a musket, blazed away without an instant's hesitation and killed the officer in command of the enemy. Thereupon the Confederates threw themselves bodily on the captain and his two men and all were sent to Bielmond." "I suppose," said the corporal by roar, "that the captain was confused foby carrying a musket. But in the Tilrteenth Massachusetts, which saw a good deal of service in the Army of the Potomac (we were in over twenty engagements), the adjutant, sergeant, major, captains and leutenants generally came out of a fight with rifles in their hands and empty cartridge boxes. The boys were in the habit of saying that the shoulder straps picked up rifles to keep up their courage, but we know they did it from choice. As the most of the commissioned officers had come up from the ranks, they felt more at home in a fight with rifles than with swords. "It is true, nevertheless, that men in battle often joked with each other to keep up their courage. At that time I had a very full eye—an ox eye, the boys called it—and as I was one of the shortest men in the company, I came, as a rule, next to our left guide, old Jerry B., whose face showed how he felt when the bullets began to fly. But no matter how badly scared Jerry was, he always called my attention to the fact that my eyes were sticking out so that he could hang his hat on them. This was said to me a hundred times, and a hundred times I told Jerry that if he was half as scared as I was he would run."—Chicago Inter-Ocean. THE BULLY WEAKENED. "At the battle of Fredericksburg our regiment was on the skirmish line for eighteen hours, and hard at it all the time. When the assault was ordered we were directed to lie down, that the advancing line might run over us. Then we were to rally on the reserve, eighty rods to the rear. To reach the reserve we had to cross an open field over which bullets were flying like hail. Even in that crisis I hesitated to run the eighty rods, fearing that after facing the enemy for eighteen hours I would get a bullet in my back. So I side-steped that eighty rods and was laughed at by the boys who made a glick run. "We had in our regiment one of the old-style bullies, who made a good deal of noise in battle. He was always urging our boys and shouting threats to the enemy. Most of the younger men in the regiment thought the loud talker was a great fighter, but at Fredricksburg he received a slight flesh wound in the leg which took all the conceit out of him. He blubbered like a 'whipped boy under his trifling wound, while dozens of men with serious wounds stood grim and silent, fighting to the last. We never could get our bully into another fight, and came to the conclusion that he was brave through ignorance, and that when he learned from experience that bullets would hurt he lost his nerve."—Correspondence Chicago Inter-Ocean. IN CIVIL WAR DAYS. Out in Chaitanooga they tell this story of Civil War days: Chaitanooga Creek was the dividing line between the outposts of the Federal and Confederate armies, and during a lull in hostilities the pickets of both cultivated one another's acquaintance, having agreed not to fire on one another. One day when the captain of the Union guard saw General Grant with his staff approaching he said to his men: "Turn out the guard for the commanding general." The Confederates on the other side of the creek, not more than fifty feet away, heard the order, and their captain, concealing the idea of paying a compliment to the enemy, shouted: "Turn out the guard for the commanding general of the Federal army." The ragged Confederate pickets stood at attention for several moments, and then saluted Grant as he rode away. A DRAMATIC REPRIEVE. On the stage it happens that the hero is reprieved at the eleventh hour when on the scaffold, and there are cases recorded in history. Few, however, have been so close to death as Joe Campbell, a negro, who had been condemned to death for murder at Yazoo City, Mo. The negro had the halter about his neck, and the trap door was ready to be sprung open. Campbell then turned to the shriek and confessed the name of his accomplice. He was instantly reprieved—New York: Commercial Advertiser. Philosophy of Railway Esakes. The fundamental principle governing the application of the brake to a car, says an engineer who has recently investigated the subject, is to stop short of the point where the wheels begin to slip or "skid." When this occurs it not only flattens the wheel, but effective braking ceases. "Skidding," however, ought not to occur in practice, for by the use of sand cars may be stopped as quickly as is consonant with the passengers' safety. Sometimes, even, the cars stop too quickly for comfort, and "it looks," as a critic says in an electrical journal, "as if any material increase in brake efficiency would have to be followed by putting the passengers into padded compartments." Hand brakes are found to be quite ineffective, and most of the brakes on trolley cars are hardly powerful enough to secure perfect safety—Success. Two Cents For a Washer. American women who complain of the annoyance of professional masheres in the streets of Paris might profit from an experience I heard a bright American girl relate the other day. She was walking along in the daytime, accompanied by another girl, and noticed a man following them. An idea struck her. Reaching in her purse she found a small piece of white paper, then looked around shyly. The masher, encouraged, caught up and grazed at the paper she had in her hand. Instead, however, of receiving the little note evidently expected he found himself clutching two soins (two canes). Needless to say, he did not follow further—New York Herald. The Funny Side of Life.

The musical event of the season was the "Musang feast" at the Beach on Wednesday night last under the auspices of the Forest City Glee Club. The chapel of the Beach was crowded and each number was heartily applauded. The program as was published in THE TRIBUNE last week was carried out with the addition of the very excellent and tense address on music by Rev. R. H. Singleton. He was attentively listened to and in fact was so pleasing in his speech that when he terminated his hearers were not in the least tired. The features mentioned were well received. The club, by this entertainment has added to its reputation. The manager, leader and the members are to be commended for the excellent program presented. A Unique Celebration. The anniversary of Co. D, Capt. J. H. Bugg commanding, was celebrated in a unique manner. On Sunday night the company attended the First Congregational church where an excellent sermon was delivered by Rev. Lillard. The next night with Middleton's band and the Welcome band from Jacksonville the cars were taken for Maj. Royall's pleasant place near Thunderbolt, where a jolly time was spent. The men were well cared for by Maj. and Mrs. W. H. Royall. Speeches were made by Rev. Alex. Harris, Col. Deveaux, Maj. Royall and others. Each attendant enjoyed himself. Locals. Rev.

Tompkins, of Atlanta are pleasant visitors to the city this week. This is Mr. Tompkins' old home. He has been residing in Atlanta several years and is now on the mail carrier's force.

They will return to Atlanta next week. Rev. P. F. Curry, presiding elder of the Millen District of the A. M. E. Church, reports a very successful and interesting session at the District Conference, held at Higgston last week. A large number of persons were in attendance.

Mr. Morgan or any other capitalist might be expending millions of dollars in building new railways or cotton mills when there was no necessity for them, while a hundred other industries beneficial to the public were stagnant for the lack of capital. There would be no safe guide as to whether the world needed more railroads and fewer cotton mills, or more cotton mills and fewer railroads. Great sums would be wasted in bootless enterprises, which would prove unprofitable and carry down their owners to ruin. All the capital represented, all the labor, thought, foresight and inventive genius involved in them, would be sacrificed to the lack of an effective public organ for pointing out the direction in which capital was needed.—The Atlantic. The Nervous Strain in One Type of Conversation embarrasses him to be caught now and then in a mistake; indeed your correction is welcomed as an agreeable interruption, and serves as a starting point for a new series of observations. The pleasure of conversation is enhanced if one feels assured not only of wide margins of ignorance, but also of the absence of any uncanny quickness of mind. I should not like to be neighbor to a wilt. It would be like being in proximity to a live wire. A certain insulating film of kindly stupidity is needed to give a margin of safety to human intercourse. There are certain minds whose processes convey the impression of alternating currents of high voltage on a wire that is not quite large enough for them. From such I would withdraw myself. One is freed from all such apprehensions in the companionship of people who, make no pretensions to any kind of cleverness. "The laughter of fools is like the crackling of thorns under a pot." What cheerful sounds: The crackling of the dry thorns and the merry bubbling of the pot—Atlantic Monthly. own position in the midst of the world, at its greatness and interest and at their insignificance, a great deal of society's wasted feeling in sorrow and disappointment would be saved. Let us look at the matter fairly. What right have we above all others to expect our ambition to be speedily gratified? What right have we to expect fame or happiness beyond the common share? Does not the world abound with cleverer and wiser and worthier persons? We are of limited importance, to ourselves and to the world. Even the greatest of men drop away from the front of life's march and are scarcely missed. Last year they may have had a power that could bear influence in every part of the world. This year they may be old gentlemen tending about a garden in retirement. What then are we of the rank and file that we should set up as persons of consideration whose lot the world ought to understand and appreciate? The truth is that we are quite unimportant and had much better feel our insignificant relation to the whole. If we once fairly and squarely consider this question aright, we shall see that there is nothing worth striving for in this world in comparison with the common aims of being good men, clean of life, straight in our dealings, tender in our consideration for others, simple in our pleasures and hopes. You cannot afford to waste time and attention on your own importance. Once begin to think too seducciously of that, and you will think of little else. It will warp your nature and spoil your manners. The man or woman who is possessed by a feeling of self-importance is never fully at ease, and never a really desirable companion, being quick to resent supposed slights, whereas the people who do not worry themselves with thoughts about themselves will be natural and dignified, with an unconscious elevation of spirit that makes their presence desired by all who know them—Waverley Magazine. jester, or an anarchist, but the President is something different. He is an idea. He is the eldolon of the Government. The people go to see him not only from curiosity, not only "to be able to say that I've seen him," as the phrase goes; there is also an element of patriotism in their feeling for him; they want to pay him respect. An absence of the critical spirit or mood, usually so characteristic of the American attitude toward individuals, is noticeable among the groups of people who are waiting in the White House in anticipation of seeing the President. There is unmitigated, unqualified pleasure from the anticipation. There is absolute joy from the touch of his right hand, the common property of the Nation. There is nearly always awkwardness in their greeting of him. Proud as they have been in the thought of coming into actual personal contact with the head of the Government, and proud as they will afterward be of the honor of their visit, many of the President's callers shake his hand in visible reepidation, and are eager to pass on, dreading apparently lest he speak in such a way as to require a response. Even the pert, who are determined to address him, are clearly embarrassed, and rarely say precisely what they intended. To the mass of American citizens who are represented in these visiting bodies—neighborhood expulsionists, temperance, Masonic, commercial travelers, and other flocks of citizenship—the office of President is impressive—still the most impressive of American institutions. The American may entitlely disapprove of his President and his policy; may even believe the lies that are told concerning his personal habits; may on the street, at his office, or in his shop, or even at home, deride him, and express contempt for his political opinions; may go so far as to look upon him as an enemy of the country, for the American partisan is extravagant and even hysterical; but when he is in the presence of the President he seems tongue-tied, as if he were before what they call in monarchies "our august ruler." Thus we catch a glimpse of the true sentiment of the private American citizens for the impersonal President—The Century.

S --- the early part of the year 1902 I had been a sufferer from kidney troubles for many years. The pain in my back became worse and worse until it was a daily burden that interfered with every duty. I was much afflicted with headaches and dizzy spells and was unable to rest well nights. In May, 1902, after using Donn's Kidney Pills I made a statement for publication declaring that they had entirely relieved me of the pain in my back. I have since then had a year's time in which to study the effects of the medicine, and while I have had slight touches of the trouble since, the use of the pills has always driven away all signs of the disorder, and I have become convinced of the fact that the first treatment was practically permanent in its effects, and I know that a box of Donn's Kidney Pills kept on hand is a sufficient guarantee against any suffering from the kidneys or back. I should advise every sufferer to take Donn's Kidney Pills, and I know that they will be surprised and pleased with the result."

(in 212, '08) UPPOSE for a moment that the stock markets of the world were closed, that it was no longer possible to learn that railways were paying dividends, what their stocks were worth, how industrial enterprises were faring—whether they were loaded up with surplus goods or had orders ahead.

The wallings over hopeless lives and lost lovers and blighted careers and unrealized ambitions go on forever, and we read of people cutting short their existence in an agony of misplaced self-pity.

The people go to see not only from curiosity, not only "to be able to say that I've seen him," phrase goes; there is also an element of patriotism in their feeling for they want to pay him respect.

Sterling Remedy Co., Chicago or N.Y. 523 ANNUAL SALE, TEN MILLION BOXES MARK HARRIS The Apple Orchard There is nothing more common than to hear farmers in all the eastern section of the country say "we cannot grow apples any more as we once did." Now, the climate is not to blame for this, and if apples once grew well with you is it not worth while to study the cause of their failure now? Men realize that for the growing of their annual crops they must cultivate well and keep up the fertility of the soil. They do not try to grow corn and wheat at the same time on the same field, for they know that it cannot be done successfully, but when it comes to the orchard they assume that a tree can not only take care of itself like the trees in the forest, but that they can crop the land for other things at the same time and still get crops of apples. Herein lies the greatest of all the troubles in apple growing. So long as the soil was a virgin soil and abounding in plant food the trees thrive in spite of neglect, but as they gradually robbed the soil assisted by the crops planted among them there was soon a failure, for trees as well as other crops need plenty of available plant food in the soil. Another thing that apple trees especially need is an abundance of soil moisture. It is useless to apply fertilizers to any plant if there is not moisture enough in the soil to dissolve them. Hence the importance for providing a soil abounding in vegetable decay to retain the moisture needed for the solution of the plant food applied. Few growers fully realize the amount of the various forms of plant food that an apple orchard takes from the soil. At the recent American Apple Growers' Congress in St. Louis Professor Clothier gave some very striking figures in this regard which were taken from the experiments made at the Agricultural Experiment Station of Cornell University. He showed that with an average yield (and this is a small one in a good orchard) of 200 bushels per acre, that this 200 bushels of fruit would remove from the soil thighteen pounds of nitrogen, only one pound of phosphoric acid and nineteen pounds of potash, and the apples alone would remove from each acre $2.45 worth of plant food. Then the growth of the wood and the leaves of the tree must be taken into account, and it takes a very considerable, amount of food to keep up the activity of a large tree. Altogether there was in the orchard a demand for plant food to a total value of $0.01 per acre. He compared this with a crop of corn making fifty bushels per acre, and showed that the corn removed little more than the fruit trees, and yet every farmer knows that he cannot expect fifty bushels of corn per acre unless he keeps up the fertility of the soil, and yet we see the same men trying to get apples from a soil that has been drained by the trees in this way for a generation, and not only drained by the trees, but called upon to grow a hay crop or to pasture stock. Is it any wonder that we cannot grow apples as well as we once did? The statement we have given shows that the demand for phosphoric acid is very small as compared with that for nitrogen and potash, and the trees will demand more potash than a crop of corn of fifty bushels per acre, and demand it every year, for there can be no rotation of crops here. In their young state, when growth is what we want, applications of stable manure will be of great help, not only in furnishing nitrogen but in giving some humus making matter to the soil. If Kalit has been used in the preservation of this manure it will not only make the manure better in preventing the loss of nitrogen, but it will add potash that is needed. When the trees have reached maturity we advise the seeding down to grass. But not in grass to be cut for hay, but grass to be cut only as a mulch for the trees and left on the ground, cutting it several times during the season. Then give the grass a top dressing annually of a fertilizer composed of 800 pounds of acid phosphate, 800 pounds of cottonseed meal and 400 pounds of muriate of potash to make a ton. Use this liberally and get a good growth of grass and every time you cut the grass spread it to decay under the trees as far as the limbs extend and a little further. Then if you attend to the spraying you can grow apples just like you did in your boyhood and probably better.—W. F. Massey. The Height of Daring. Willie Littleboy—What's a hero anyhow?
