^tumorous department. Misadventure of Dennis. Captain Eugene H. C. Leutze, U. S. N., commander of the battleship Maine, has German blood in his veins, and vast knowledge of detail about naval ordnance in his head, says the Kansas City Journal. Before he was given the Maine and last went to sea he was superintendent of the gun factory at the Washington navy yard, and gained the reputation of being a strict taskmaster. Habitually an "early to bed early to rise" man, Captain Leutze found himself unable to sleep one night. He arose, dressed, left his quarters and walked down to one of the gun shops. Although three shifts are needed to dispose of the great press of work now on hand, there was little doing. Capt. Leiitze's sharp eye detected a mechanic sitting on the carriage of a great lathe, which was slowly running to and fro, taking almost infinitesimal threads of steel from a twelve-inch gun. He was dozing, oblivious to all surroundings, when Capt. Leutze reached his side and aroused mm with: "Well, what are you doing and what is your name?" The craftsman looked up and quailed. Then with a resigned air, he replied, "Well, I guess it's Dennis." He was not discharged. Trouble.?Governor Chamberlain of Connecticut, at a dinner in Bridgeport to the Philippine commissioners, condemned the practice of extricating one's self from a trouble by casting the trouble upon another's shoulders. "Don't be like the man with a ram," he said. And then, as no one seemed to understand his allusion, he went on: "The man I refer to stood in the middle of a lonely road, holding by Its massive crooked horns a huge ram. " 'Will you oblige me,' he said to a passing youth, "by noiamg mis ram uu I open the gate behind me? It is fastened on the Inside, and I find I must climb over it.' " 'Sartin, stranger,' said the youth and he took a firm Jrrip on the ram's enormous horns. "The man backed off smiling strangely. " 'Thank you,' he said. 'You will perhaps be surprised to hear that I never saw that ram till today. The brute attacked me an hour ago, and we have been struggling here ever since. As long as you stand In front of him, holding his horns firmly, he can't hurt you. Good-by. I hope you'll be as lucky as I have been in getting rid of him.' "Then the man vaulted the fence and disappeared. The youth, clutching the ram's horns desperately, looked up and down the road. He had never seen a spot so desolate and lonely." What the Lion Tamer Feared.?L. Y. Minnlck of Potsdam, Ohio, who once traveled ahead of a circus, has many stories to tell of the tricks and manners of the show folk and of the wild animals they carry about with them. . "Along in the days just before his death Col. Dan Boone, the famous tamer and trainer," he said, "developed a fear of bronchitis which grew to be a regular nervous mania. He would go Into the cage with a snarling lioness with young cubs without the slightest fear, but was scared to death of a breeze. One day, after an exhibition fight with the fiercest lion we had he came out of the cage and said to me. " 'Louis, this will prove the end of me yet.' " 'Good Lord, colonel,' I said, 'you aren't losing your nerve? You surely are not getting afraid of that brute?' "Afraid of that dog!' he said, disgustedly. 'Afraid of my hat! Nothing of the sort. But these cages are the worst places for draughts in the country. I know I'll catch a cough some day that'll prove my death.'"? Louisville Herald. A Clock For Calculators.?Dr. W. S. Rainsford is a great salmon fisherman. Nearly every summer he goes salmon fishing among the Canadian rivers, in a wild and remote country where the people are quaint. One day fn Canada Dr. Rainsford lunched with an aged farmer. His watch had stopped, and he took it out to set it by the tall hall clock that stood in a corner. But this clock proved, upon inspection, to be three or four hours wrong. "Your clock is wrong, isn't it?" said Dr. Rainsford politely. "Not a bit wrong," replied the farmer. "It's you that don't understand it. When the little hand's straight up and the big hand's straight down, it strikes 10, but the right time's 5 o'clock. Then," he added, "you've nothing to do but calculate." Could Eat Until He Starved.? Congressman Wade of the Second Iowa district, and the only Democratic in the house from that state, tells a story about a young man who took a sack of grain to an old-fashioned mill to have it ground into meal. The ponderous wheels revolved so Slowly that only a tiny stream of meal trickled feebly, while the young man patiently waited. Finally his patience was exhausted ana ne compiameu iu the miller. "Do you know," he said, "I could eat that meal faster than your old mill can grind it." "Yes," replied the miller; "but how long could you keep on eating it?" "I could keep on eating it until I starved," was the conclusive answer of the young man? Denver Republican. She Dip It After Ai.l.?"I remember you once said to me that Miss Muggs would never catch any man that had a thimbleful of brains." "I believe I did make some such remark quite awhile ago." "Of course, you did. Ha. ha, ha! Now that you have met her as my wife, what have you got to say, eh?" "Why?er?I was mistaken. She caught him, all right." "You bet she did! Ha, ha! But hold on.

The Kandy Kitchen was literally flooded for a short time. Proprietor Suber remained cheerful, however, through it all, and no one would have guessed from his demeanor that he had been in a flood Mr. and Mrs. D. A.

Gaffney, mayor pro tern, presiding. The case was instituted by Mr. J. Q. Little against a negro in the employ of Mr. 2. A. Robertson for trespassing after notice. Mr. Robertson had the negro employed in digging out a foundation for a new brick store house on one of his lots on Limestone street, and Mr. Little seeing the negro at work there thought that he was working on his adjoining property and made the negro quit. Mr. Robinson believing he was working on his own land put the negro to work again, when Mr. Little had the negro arrested by a city officer under the charge above stated. J. C. Jefferies, Esq., represented the city, Mr. Little's side of the case, at the request of Capt. J. B. Bell, the city attorney, on account of his having been connected in court in a case practically involving the same property, and Col. T. B. Butler represented the negro. The case was hotly contested and much evidence was pre sented by both sides. Arguments were made by both attorneys before the court, which, after mature deliberation, discharged the negro, and in the afternoon Mr. Robertson proceeded with the work of digging out his foundation.

Incalculable Value of American Agricultural Product*. Percentages of crop conditions and estimates of acreage mean little to all but the experts, but here are some figures of the probable value in dollars of the crops of this year, estimated so conservatively by one of the leading financial agencies that they are without doubt well within the facts. Cotton, the staple of the south, is expected to show this year a yield of at least 12,000,000 bales, which will have a value on the plantations of over $489,000,000. The crop of last year was worth $453,948,000 on the plantation. Wheat will doubtless be harvested to the extent of 654,000,000 bushels, with a value on the farm of $424,000,000, about $20,000,000 less than last year. The oats crop is expected to be 901,000,000 bushels, with a value on the farm of $314,000,000, or fully $85,000,000 more than the crop of last year. Barley and rye are estimated as likely to show crops of 43,000,000 bushels and 27,950,000 bushels, and to be worth on the farm together about $80,000,000, practically the same as last year. Taken together, these crops, which are now pretty well assured, will be worth not less than $1,315,000,000 to the farmers, as compared with $1,200,794,67? last year. The corn crop, which matures much later than the other^ is naturally in some doubt. It is also the most important of all the crops, However, splendid progress nas Deen maue uy It this year, and the government now predicts a yield of 2,537,268,000 bushels. Figured at 2,250,000,000 bushels this crop will have a value fcn the farm, at the average price of the last two years, of over 3927,000,000. This will bring the total value of the crops to the farmers of the land this year up to 32,243,000,000. Two billion two hundred and fortythree million dollars?the gift of the soil to the United States this year. There may be depressions in manufactures and trade; there may be an unsettling of confidence through political elections, there may be panics in Wall street through financial excesses.

An "Earthly Oiympus Peopled With Apoilos and Hebes." At the time of the Russo-Turklsh war M. Reshetnlkoff, struck with the inferior, ill-nourished physique of many recruits, set aside annually out of his large fortune the sum of 10,000 rubles for the purpose of eliminating the unfit by encouraging marriage only between young people of exceptional beauty, health and intelligence. To attain this end he employed as workers on his estate only the handsomest and healthiest villagers. These he encouraged to enter upon matrimony by free grants of land, payment of ail marriage fees and an annuity of 50 rubles a year for every child born. He succeeded in removing from his estate by rather harsh means all deformed and sickly persons and attracted handsome giants from all parts of the province by granting them valuable privileges. Those who refused to marry the partners he selected were unceremoniously de poneu. Since the institution of this human beauty farm 40 model marriages have taken place and over 100 children have been born, nearly all of them being immensely superior to the average Russian peasant children in strength and beauty. The girls In particular are remarkable for their graceful carriage and lithe, active forms. A marriage has just been celebrated there with exceptional display owing to the fact that the bridegroom and his bride are the first couple both of whom sprang from unions arranged by M. Reshetnikoff. The bridegroom, a handsome peasant named VasllliefY, of splendid physique, and the bride, a lovely girl of 18 were driven to church in M. ReshetnikofTs carriage, and given as dowry a large wooden cottage and a plot of land. Hundreds of persons witnessed the ceremony, and at the wedding breakfast M. Reshetnikoff delivered an eloquent speech in which he welcomed "the second generation of his nurslings who are to make of Holy Russia an earthly Olympus peopled with Apollos and Hebes."?London Chronicle.

Trees producing cotton are cultlvat ed in hot-houses of Vera Cruz, bu their fibre is very short.

In other e words all the thirty companies are In the same class. There Is one company In business that has always carried out every contract It has made to the letd ter. It has been doing business over e 59 years and has a spotless record, i It has always held the palm for ' both economy and conservatlveness, ? and has always furnished gilt edge d Insurance to its members at less cost tl than any other company.
