tumorous department. Embarrassed.?A very amusing story is current in London just at present concerning one of the most fashionable doctors, one indeed who has a very large practice. It seems that he has a telephone in his bed-room. The other night when the weather was particularly stormy and the eminent physician and his wife were both fast asleep the telephone suddenly rang and ove.r the wire came the message : "Please come around at once to Berkeley Square ; Lady B? is very ill." The physician uttered an ejaculation which was distinctly unparliamentary, and handing the transmitter to his wife : J . lit? T . ?f ?? ...UinVl SHIU ; City l nui uui ui iu? u, nuivn, like an obedieut wife, she immediately proceeded to do. The following afternoon the physician called at Lady B?'s house, and meeting her husband, exclaimed : "So sorry J was not at home when you rang me up last night." "But you really were not at home?" inquired Lord B?. "Of course not," replied the physician, with a most utiblushiug effrontery. "Then, my dear doctor," spoke Lord B?, who is a bit of a wag, in the most earnest manner, "I must sympathize with you in your terrible misfortune. For I distinctly heard a man's voice in your bed room talking to your wife." The face of the physician is stated to have defied description, all the more as Lord B? hurried off the moment he had said this without giving him time to utter a word in reply.?Washington Post. Without Shuffling or Evasion. From Fenimore Cooper and other authorities we have gained the impression that the Indiau is a stolid, severe lDaiviauai, wild do sense ui tue white man's humor, but one red brother showed himself quite a civilized joker the other day in the United States court. He was on the stand in a hotly contested case, and Attorney D. R. Bailey, of Sioux Falls, was after him iu the most approved fashiou of cross-examination. Finally, after apparently frightening the Indian with the awful consequences which would follow the slightest deviation from the truth, Mr. Bailey took his most portentious tone and solemn manner aud demanded: "Now sir, I want you to tell me the exact truth, without any shuffling or evasion. I want you to look me square in the eye and tell me how you get your living, sir." The Indian looked straight at Mr. Bailey, and, with that imperturbable air familiar to all acquainted with the red men, simply said, "Eat." The courtroom roared, even Judge Carland smiled, and Mr. Bailey let the witness go.?St. Paul Pioneer Press. What He Could Spare. ?An Irishman, who hailed from a very remote part of Ireland, came to London, and one Sunday went to church with a friend. After the service the usual collection took place. It happened that the plate was handed to the Irishman first. Pat stared at the plate, and bis friend, noticing his bewilderment, whispered : "Put something in the plate." "Phwat shall Oi put in ?"" inquired Pat. "What you can spare ?" was the answer. Pat dived his hand into his pocket, fumbled about a bit, and then, placing about half an ounce of tobacco in the plate, be said to the gentleman : "I suppose you smoke, sor? It's rale Oirish pigtail."?Londou Spare Moments. The New Weather Makers.? During the recent hot spell a Washington housekeeper made her raidweek pilgrimage to the Centre Market and, of course, everybody, sellers and buyers, showed the eflects of the iutense heat. To one good old colored mammy, selling garden sass, the lady spoke sympathetically about the heat and wound up by saying: "It is dreadful, isn't it?"

Southern Stock or Cow Pea.? These peas are grown in regions suitable for raising maize or sorghum, therefore extending from Hindostan to California. They make a favorite food for man and hay for beast, and duriug the period of vegetation, promote fertility of the land. An approved method of raising cow peas, is. to sow broadcast one bushel of peas among corn, when corn is being laid by. In order to do this properly the com is to be planted in rows at least five feet apart. This arrangement will permit plenty of light and air to pass among the corn to perfect the plants and mature seeds. The peas soon germinate after planting and grow rapidly, often forming a mat between the rows of corn which smothers light-rooted weeds and shades the soil so completely that the natural moisture of the soil is retained even during a hot, dry summer. The pea being a leguminous plant, draws its nourishment almost entirely from the atmosphere. The land is therefore in the best of order, after the peas are mature, to bear the next crop. Corn and peas have been grown in the above manner for 25 years in sue cession on the same field without exhausting the soil; on the contrary, the land was as strong as the first year. The position of peas and corn were, however, changed alternately every year. Ripened peas make a delicious diet for man when well cooked or steamed, or the seeds may be ground into a meal and mixed with bran or chopped feed for cattle. Horses also relish the pea meal. Sugar as Food.?A lump of sugar represents about as much nutriment as an ounce of potato; but while the potato will be eateD only because hunger prompts, the sugar, because of its taste, may be taken when the appetite has been fully satisfied. Sugar is a useful and valuable food. It must, however, be remembered that it is a concentrated food and therefore should be eaten in moderate quantities. Further, like other concentrated foods, sugar seems best fitted for assimilation by the body when supplied with other materials which dilute it or - ? ? give it the necessary duik. Persons of active habits and good digestion will add sugar to their food almost at pleasure without inconvenience, while those of sedentary life, of delicate digestion, or of a tendency to corpulency would do better to use sugar very moderately. It is generally assumed that four or five ounces of sugar per day is as much as it is well for the average adult to eat under ordinary conditions. So says Farmers' Bulletin, No. 93, entitled "Sugar as Food," prepared by Mrs. Mary Hinman Abel, under the supervision of the office of experiment (stations. This bulletin shows that the English-speaking people are the largest consumers of sugar. It also treats of the chemical composition of sugar, its food value, use in dietaries of adults and children, and the sources of cane sugar. Growing Late Tomatoes.?We begin the preparation of the ground by spreading well rotted manure in the winter as we have time. Early in the spring we plant to early potatoes and never neglect to keep the land free of weeds and grass. The mistake that nearly every one makes is in neglecting the ground after the potatoes mature, though it is but little trouble to keep it clean. I dig my potatoes as early and quickly as possible. By this time I have ready my bed of tomato plants of the best varieties that I have tried, such as Maule's beauty or new imperial, which I find to be the best varieties of this section of the country. With the ground in fine condition and the nlants of iust the riirht size, I set in rows not less than 4 feet apart, with the result that I have the finest of tomatoes after all early tomatoes are gone, and what I have to spare commands good prices and are ready sale. The land is left in good contition, free of weeds and grass, for another year.?C. A. Gifford, of Post Oak, Texas, in Practical Farmer. Telephone For Farmers.?I notice an article on telephones in a recent number of your paper. I can beat that scheme nicely. I have a line connecting my residence with a tenant house, distance as run over one and one-half miles ; one half this distance I simply connect with ordinary barb wire fence, part of balance of way with a barb wire running loosely over an old rail feuce, the balance through woods and across roads and gateways on a No. 12 wire nailed to trees, etc. The'phone is similar to Blake; but cost me some less than price mentioned. Have had line in daily use over 14 months and not a cent for repair, save renewing battery material occasionly.

Wounds In Trees.?Wounds made in the stems of trees by pruning or otherwise, should have the wood preserved to keep it from decay till the new bark and wood extends over it. Gum shellac dissolved in alcohol is far better than paint. Put the shellac into a wide-mouthed bottle, cover it with alcohol, and let it stand 24 hours, when it may be applied with a swab or brush. It serves, as nearly as may be, as the substance of bark ; is not affected by heat or cold or wet or dry weather, and retains the sap up to the cut, healing the wound without a scar. Any limbs cut off square on top will leave a dead end from six inches to a foot, which will eventually die and rot off Limbs should be cut off slanting ?never square on top?as is often done.?Meehau's Monthly. ?6?* Salt in the oven under baking tins will prevent their scorching on the bottom. pisccUiuirmts ^fading.

Lots of stories are told of "Private" John Allen, the Mississippi congressman who is now a candidate for United States senator. A few years ago, when a candidate for re-election to congress he had for bis opponent a former Confederate general. At one of their meetings the general, with emotion, told his audience how glad he was to be there. "It has been 26 years since I have been in this town," he said. "I then defended it in a 24-bours fight against the attack of a band of northern marauders who came to despoil us of our liberty and our homes. Some of ray listeners will remember how I accounted for my stewardship. The invaders were repulsed?those who did not remain dead on the sticken field. Before I slumbered in my tent the night after the battle I thanked God I had been able to turn back the horde of assassius from the north." When Allen came on to speak, he bore warm testimony to the truth ol the other's military deeds and saving of the town. He said : "As that noble hero lay in bis tent thanking God that he had saved your homes and preserved your firesides, his prayers and subsequent slumbers were guarded by an humble private soldier who had fought amid the death of the 24 dark hours of which he speaks, and at the conclusion of the fight, when the last Yankee had fled, the humble private shouldered his musket and, with veneration for his ereat heroic leader in his heart, cheerfully, for the ensuing 12 hours, guarded the hero's tent. I was that private," concluded Allen. The cheers for the general became an enthusiastic uprising for the "private." Allen got all their votes in the convention and was nominated. He told the incident at Washington one day, illustrating bow it was possible in politics to turn defeat into victory. "It was rather singular, too," some one remarked, "that you and the general should come together at the same place after so many years." "I never had been there in my life before," said Allen, with some sur prise. "As a matter of fact, at the time the general was in command in that part of the country I was with the regiment to which I belonged, dodging Grant over toward Vicksburg. I never saw the man in the wartime ; never beard of him until 10 years after it was all over." One of the funniest things John Allen ever did was when he made a | speech in the house of representatives I ii/iAa m rv/\?t kill ma. just uoiurc tiiu vuio upisij tuc ui11 ic* pealing the purchasing clause of the Sherman act. Little General Tracy, not the excabinet member, but at that time a Democratic member of the New York delegation, had just made a speech tbankiug other Democrats for the manner in which they had flocked to the support of the administration and bad followed bis lead in the effort to prevent a depreciation of the currency. Tracy had really been one of the floor managers of the fight for the repeal bill, but he bad led the dominaut forces about as much as Allen had led the opposition, and Allen had not opened his mouth in the discussion until this the closing day of the debate. There was no one among the 356 members of the house who acknowledged Tracy's leadership, notwithstanding his activity, and when he made his speech, thauking bis persoual following, the house was astounded. The bill passed by a majority of nearly 100, which included all the leading Democrats and Republicans from the nortberu and eastern states and many , Democrats from the south. William L. Wilson was the author ol the repeal bill, and as chairman of the ways and means committee, was the , authorized Democratic leader on the floor and the personal representative of Cleveland as well. Crisp had given the aid of his powerful influence as - * t-;?i L!U speaker lo support toe uiii, wuue , Reed, Dingley, CannoD and other Republicans bad spokeD in its favor. , Tracy'8 effort was therefore ludicrous i enough ; but the house saw no humor in the situation until Allen arose. He was on bis feet the moment Tra. cy sat down adu began with the pecui liar drawl and nasal tone that characterize bis utterances aud add to their i humor. I "Mr. Speaker," he began, "I cannot permit this debate to close without i thanking those who have so foolishly followed me in any effort to prevent the passage of the bill." i For 20 minutes he proceeded to satirize Tracy and Tracy's speech in a , manner that threw the house into an uproar and rendered Tracy the most , uncomfortable man in the whole Capitol building, f He made several references to "Gent* eral Tracy aud myself as the leaders . of the opposing forces and handled the member from New York with so little mercy aud yet with such apparent good nature that even "Silver Dick" Bland, who bad led the opposition and believed the republic would come to an end the moment the Sherman law was repealed, lay back in bis chair i and laughed until the tears ran down - his face. " THE COST OF "GL0KY." Sidney Smith's Warning to Brother Jonathan Seventy-Nine Years Ago. The New York World has dug up from the Edinburgh Review, Syduey Smith's Essay on America.

In fact, ncle Sam, for humanity's sake, put bis ot upon the Spaniard's neck in Cuba id demandod satisfaction. Of course all le Spaniard wanted was lust to be let one; but be had the Cuban down, at mat was trying to keep him down, and ncle Sam demanded that be let the Cunn up and get off the island without deiy. Well, of course that that was right; ut the fact is that Uncle Sam's foot being ither large, when it was put on Cuban >il tramped upon that same Spaniard in orto Rieo. and. verv naturally, when the paniard left Cuba be must leave Porto :ico too. Now when Uncle Sam stepped ut with bis left foot into the Atlantic, be Mild not keep bis balance without step- ^ log out correspondingly into the Pacific, d being afraid that Hawaii would not old him up, be reached out a little furtbr toward the Eastern World and bapened to step upon the Philippines. There e found that same Spaniard trying to'do aese people the same way he bad done 1 Cuba. So Uncle Sam said to himself, ere's another place for humanitarian rork, so I'll send this trifling Spaniard to is mother's house and?and?and?. Veil, this is a pretty rich country, and I elieve I'll take this myself, and it will e better for the people anyway. They lay kick up about it a little at first, belg strangers to us ; but they will soon 5arn to love us. Well, I did not intend to go so much * ito detail, as this is not the kiud of exansion I meant to talk.about. lie Kind of Expansion am particularly speaking of, is that rbicb comes after a particularly jood Dinner.
