tumorous Jfpartmrnt. Saving It.?An old Yankee farmer lay 011 his deathbed. He was so far gone that the doctor told his daughter that she could indulge him in anything he might crave in the matter of food, to the end of making him happy if possible, as nothing could delay the end or really hasten it. The daughter asked her father If there was any particular thing his appetite fancied. "Yes," whispered the old man, "a bit of fine cake with lots of nuts and currants In it." A woman neighbor, who heard the old fellow express his desire, had a fine fruit cake made, rich enough to produce an attack of acute indigestion in a wooden Indian. The doctor heard of it and was not pleased with the old man's choice, but, having given his permission, he inquired the next day wnen ne caiifu nun n sunru tient and how he enjoyed it. "Well, sir," the daughter replied, "to tell you the honest truth, father hasn't had a taste of the cake." "And why not?" the doctor wanted to know. "Well, sir," said she, "it was such a perfectly beautiful cake that we hadn't the heart to cut into it, and so we are just keeping it for the funeral."?Metropolitan. Her Salary and Hia Celery.?James Ford Rhodes, the Boston historian, was talking about history, says the Detroit Free Press. "Accuracy," he said, "is the sine qua non of historical writing. It is, indeed, the sine qua non of all social intercourse. If we are inaccurate, we are sure to be tripped up. "I know an old fashioned and aristocratic banker who is inaccurate In his pronunciation. He says 'obleeged* for 'obliged,' 'thankee' for 'tnanK you and so forth. That is the way buck used to talk, you know, in Georgian times. "Well, the banker invited his stenographer, a clever young woman, to lunch at his residence in Beacon street with his wife and himself one day, and during the course of turkey he called the guest's attention to the celery?or "salary/ as he called it. " 'What do you think of my salary, miss?' he said. " 'Fine/ the young girl answered. "I think it's fine/ '"Yes, isn't it?' said the banker, proudly. 'I raise it myself.' "'Do you?' she returned, with a laugh, 'I wish you'd raise mine, then.'" Railroad Information.?An East Side henchman of a New York politician went to his "boss" for a job, says the Popular Magazine. The politician, noting that the personal appearance of the henchman was not at all prepossessing, finally solved the problem by sending him to an official of the New York Central railroad. "What can you do?" asked the official. "Anything," replied the henchman. So he was put to calling trains in the station. The first night he was on Job he went through the depot giving a firstclass imitation of the usual custom of train cries In making what they say absolutely unintelligible to the average car. An excited German rushed up to him with the breathless query: "Ven do the last train to Pittsburg go, ves." "You won't be here, Dutch, when de last train goes to Pittsburg," said the employe, after carefully looking the perspiring German over from head to foot. "By dat time you'll be glad to come back here as de bunghole in a beer barrel; see?" Muddy Waters.?Joseph H. Choate praised the American lawyer at a banquet in New York, says the New York Times. "You might think, the way some people talk," said Mr. Choate, "that the American lawyer couldn't be honest if he wanted to. You would think he worked in such muddy waters that" Mr. Choate paused and smiled. "Well," he resumed, "you might think that the American lawyer was in Breefs case. "Breef, you know, was accused of bribery. He admitted the charge. " 'What, sir?" the Judge thundered. 'What, you, a practicing lawyer, admit without shame that you bribed the witness ?' " 'Yes, your honor,' said Breef hastily. 'But I ordered him to tell the truth. He had been bribed by the other side to lie.'" Repartee of a Night.? "Get my supper!" he said, gruffly. "Get it yourself," she replied. "You didn't marry a cook." Late that night she heard a noise. "John," she said, "there's a robber in the house. Get up!" "Get up yourself," he answered, sleepily. "You didn't marry a policeman." Finally, however, John with a revolver and his wife with a candle, traced a noise to the kitchen range. John bravely opened the range door and a huge rat jumped out. John point?d the revolver at the animal, but didn't shoot. "Why didn't you shoot it?" asked his wife. "I couldn't," he replied, smiling grimly; "it was out of my range." When We Are Dead.?It is the belief of the Chinese that once a year the inhabitants of the spirit world are liberated for a month to visit their old homes. During this month, says Kenneth F. Junor, M. D., in the National Geographic Magazine, tables covered with viands of every description are placed on the street before the door. The quick believe that the dead partake of the viands, and that the thought for them may induce them to bring prosperity to the family. A foreigner, more curious than courteous, questioned a Chinese as to this, to him, absurd belief. "Well." replied the Chinese, quietly: "I imagine our dead can as easily eat these things as yours can smell the flowers you provide for them." Thoughtful Girl.?The young man was calling on the girl. He didn't know her very well, but she looked good to him. He wanted to call again the next night, but hardly had the nerve to ask permission to do so. "I'd like to come up again," he said when he was ready to go home. "How about next week some time?" A look of disappointment came over her face. "Next week?" she said. "Why, isn't that?er?well, I'll tell you what to do; you come up to-morrow night and we'll decide which night next week you mar call."?Detroit Times. Miscellaneous -grading. ROMANCE OF RUBBER. Discovery of Vulcanization Involved Heartbreaking Experience. Exporters of crude rubber from Para make light of the Xicaraguan and Mexican rubber plantations. "Why cultivate rubber." they say. "when you can go into the forest and eet it?" They declare that millions I of trees in the Amazon basin and the Congo Free State have never been tapped and will endure generations. Nevertheless, the Congo government, by a decree of February 25, 1899, requires that for every ton of rubber taken out annually 150 trees shall be planted. Nicaragua offers a premium for the cultivation of rubber, and has interdicted the gathering of it in the national forest for exportation. In Peru the "caueheros" have destroyed so many trees that imports from Iquique have greatly declined. In the East Indies restrictive legislation is general. But, after all, the question with the planter is whether cultivation will pay. Such is the demand that he can sell every pound he produces. The uses of rubber are illimitable. In Mexico and Central America the tree grown is the Castilloa elastica of the native forest, which flourishes in a rich but not a wet soil, like the smaller Hevea brasiliensis of Ama r. T 11/v-tn n# nlfv zona*. nt-nur nui ia ml h?c v.v of Gautemala. an experienced agriculturist, calculates that a ten-yearold plantation "will produce double the amount expended during thav time," taking into account that for seven years there Is no yield of milk. He says that the net annual product will be much more remunerative than that which coffee under the best and most favorable circumstances can yield. During the seven years of waiting he advises the cultivation of vanilla simultaneously. A plantation In Mexico produced in 1899 30,000 pounds of rubber. In the neighborhood of Blueflelds, Nicaragua, there are some promising plantations. Current expenses are light, for labor is cheap and the trees require little care. But cash and patience, a great deal of each, are needful for success. Our department of agriculture, it is worthy of note, is preparing to give its attention to the cultivation of rubber in the Philippines. The world was a long time learning the uses and value of rubber. For two centuries after the Spaniards saw the gum in the hands of the natives of the New World it was little more than a curiosity. Old Herrea, who went with Columbus on his second voyage, made a note of an elastic ball which was molded from the gum of a tree. At their games the nude Heytians made it bound high in air. The Aztecs were familiar with the gum and called it ule, and from them the Spaniards learned to smear it on their coats to keep out the wet. They had crossed the seas for gold and never dreamed of a time when the sticky milk the uncouth Indians drew from strange trees would be worth more than all the treasures of the runs. (un r euruarj- to, iojj, a snip carrying a cargo of 1,167 tons of rubber. valued at $2,210,000. sailed from Para for New York, leaving 200 tons behind on the wharf.) Jose, king of Portugal in 1555, comes down to us as the wearer of a pair of boots sent out to Para to be covered with a water-proof gum. Yet 300 years were to elapse before a Connecticut Yankee should make a pair of boots of rubber which would not decompose. Dr. Priestley, author of a work on "Perspective." recorded that caoutchouc was useful in small cubes for rubbing out pencil marks?hence the name of rubber. The India linked with it refers to the savages who gathered it in the Amazon wilderness. Dr. Priesley's cubes were half an inch long and sold for three shillings, or 75 cents, apiece. A stiff price, for the finest rubber today is a dollar a pound. Its price for ten years has ranged from 62 cents to $1.09. The conversion of the gum to useful purposes made but slow headway. The first waterproof cloth in 1797 was the work of an Englishman. It was tentative, and of course it would not stand heat. In 1823 Charles Mackintosh of Glasgow, discovered naphtha. and dissolving rubber in it produced varnish which, when spread on cloth, made it really impervious to water. As late as 1830 the importation of rubber into England amounted only to 50.000 pounds. In 1899 no less than 16,075,584 pounds were used in that country, and the consumption in the United States reached 51.606,737 pounds. Most of the rubber used in the world still comes from equitorial South America, and the forests where the Indians gathered ule are as dense today and almost as little known to white men as in the time of Cortez. Rubber has done a good deal for civilization, and civilization has done a great deal for rubber, but both are indebted to Charles Goodyear. Goodyear was a Connecticut Yankee, born at Xaugatuck, December 29.1800; those now living who remember him in the flesh knew him as a frail little man with soulful eyes and a sympathetic nature. Goodyear, after devoting the energies of his life to experiments, discovered vulcanization, a process which neutralizes the adhesiveness of rubber, while hardening it, so that heat does not dissolve it or cold impair its elasticity. The chemists had sought the great secret in vain. Triumph was reserved for a man who was always in debt and sometimes in prison, and occasionally reduced to the most pitiful shifts to keep the wolf from the door. Goodyear was originally a hardware dealer in a small way, but he got interested in rubber when it began to make a stir in the world with the first importation of shoes from Brazil. They were soon being made in New England, but the business tumbled to ruin when the rubber decomposed in hot weather and gave out an offensive odor. No one had a good word to say for the stuff?it sold for 5 cents a pound in the general disgust?but Goodyear, although without money or credit, set to work to rehabilitate the reputation of gum elastic, as he always called it. He thought of rubber all day and dreamed of it all night, and it adhered to his hands and clothing so that they were one and indivisible. "If you meet a man," said some one who wanted to describe the inventor, "who has on an India rubber cap. stock, coat, vest and shoes, with an India rubber purse without a cent of money in it, that is Goodyear." In chasing what seemed to his friends a will-o'-the-wisp Goodyear was often in the pawnshop. He once left his umbrella with Cornelius Vanderbilt for some ferry tickets, and at another time sold his children's school books for which he needed for his experiments. Put he had a devoted family, like geniuses. and his wife and children were just as much wrapped up in rubber as he was. To harden his gum elastic Goodyear mixed magnesia with it and turned out some shoes beautiful to look at. for the man had the artistic sense, but. as usual, they decomposed. He thought he had hit upon the secret with nitric acid, took out a patent and embarked in the business of making shoes and toys. Bad times swept away his profits before he learned that he had made another failure, and there were more visits to the pawnbroker. About this time Goodyear met Nathaniel Hay ward, who was fussing with rubber in a factory at Woburn, ?%hi re he was regarded as a harmless crank. To Hayward it was revealed in a dream that rubber could be hardened by mixing sulphur with it and exposing the compound to the sun. The process gave out a rank odor, which made Hayward a nuisance in the factory, but he took out a patent on it. Goodyear, heing struck with the idea, bought the patent. The two men leased a building, vent in f<>r making life-preservers. Put the secret had not been discovered. although Hayward was on the right scent?in hot weather it seemed a wrong one to purchasers of the lifepreservers. Goodyear was not dismayed. After more experiments he took a contract to make fifty rubber mail bags for the government, and advertised his good luck. The bags were a credit to his skill, but in July the handles dropped off and the substance melted. His friends advised him to go back to hardware. The wolf was again at the door, and Goodyear had to divide time in the use of the kitchen oven with his wife. He was always baking the compound of sulphur and rubber, but with no satisfactory results. Yet he was "warm." as they say in the children's game. One night while gesticulating on his favorite theme with a piece of sulphurated gum it came in contact i with the redhot stove. Instead of melting, as usual, the stuff charred like leather. Was a very high heat needed to harden rubber? The enthusiast trembled with anticipation. But there was the cold?it was a winter's night. Would the mass lose its flexibility In the freezing air? Goodyear nailed it against the house. The next morning the compound was as elastic as ever. He had discovered vulcanization. The secret was that rubber, with a slight admixture of sulphur, hardened and lost its adhesiveness but not Its I flexibility when subjected to a temperature of from 230 to 270 degrees Fahrenheit. Neither heat nor cold afterward affects it; but it can be overvulcanized into what is known as ebonite. Goodyear perfected his , process, took out a patent, and for fourteen years fought infringements in his courts until Judge Grier decided in his favor in 1852.?New 7ork , Press. Luck He Stuck to His Opinion. Pride of opinion is perhaps the most common fault of us fairly educated and intelligent moderns. We form our judgments and then, as it were, defy any one to change them. It is said that no one has ever been converted by abstract argument. At the time of the great disaster in Martinique the Italian bark Orsolina was taking on a cargo of sugar there. Her captain was accustomed to volcanoes, and he did not like the appearance of Mont Pelee. Not half his cargo was on board, but he decided to sail for home. "The volcano is all right," argued the shippers. "Finish your loading." "I don't know anything about Mont Peelee," said the captain, "hut if Vesuvius looked that way I'd get out of Naples, and I'm going to get right out of net t. The shippers threatened him with arrest. They sent customs officers to detain him, but the captain persisted in leaving. Twenty-four hours later the shippers and the customs officers lay dead in the ruins of St. Pierre.? Christian Herald. The Why of Suicide.?The frequency of suicide in South Carolina is becoming alarming. Twenty years ago suicide was of such rare occurrence in this state that when a man took his own life it was a matter of state-wide comment, hut now a suicide Is handled by the newspaper as an item of little importance. There are no suicide statistics available, but our impression is that there have been almost as many suicides in the state within the past 12 months as homicides. We are at a loss to account for the growing tendency for self-destruction, but it must proceed from a weakening of the moral fiber of our people, a lack of courage to meet and contend with adversity and the hardships of life. It also indicates a decline in the influence of religion over the minds of the people, and a lack of faith in a reliance upon the love, mercy and justice of an allwise Power that doeth all things well. ?Sumter Item.
