La., who has been prominently identified with the commercial and political history of New Orleans fpr years, will hove to explain a serious J charge preferred by Government officials. A Are occurred in one of the mint vaults | three weeks ago. The officials of the mint < could not account for it. Cashier Dowling a was the only person who had the key to the t vault and knew the combination of the inner door. At the time of the flra there was $7, ] 000,000 in gold and silver and $25,000 in ( greenbacks in the vault. The greenbacks ( were in a box and the fire started among the j bills. t Cashier Dowling said that an oil lamp had ] been displaced from its socket by the explosion of an incandescent globe in the vault . and had fallen into the tin box. Two Gov- ' ernment experts were sent from Washington to investigate and Mr. Dowling was shadowed Kir ( The amount of the deficit is $24,000. It Is t oharged in some quarters that instead of there bein^* 925.000* in the vault at the time of the fire but a small amount was stored in the box. They Will Raise the Wind. The International Cold Wave Company, with a capital of $2,000,000 and a surplus one-third that sum has been organized by local capitalists and enthusiasts at Aberdeen, South Dakota, who allege that they have discovered a secret, the potency of which, if applied at the right time and under favorable conditions, will destroy the hot winds which arise in Ksnsns. and at times have been known to sw?ep this country, burning and killing the grow crops. This secret will be placed on sale and revealed to residents of townships, counties and other political divisions who put up the money. When the wind is blowing hot and v Wrong from the south the company will undertake to bring a counter-wind from the icefield of the frozen north.

J. Sterling Morton, Secretary of Agriculture. in an interview states that the crop tl prospevrts l,are good. The outlook for a fine 1 crop of corn In all the corn-growing parts of the country is good. The reports also indi ^ eate that the wheat and oat crops witl be ? large. ^ "A demand for large exports of hay and other forage comes from all parts of Europe. J France, Germany and Belgium will take the largest quantities. We are making an effort G in the Agricultural Department to secure o some statistics as to the amount of beef con- tl sumed in this couutry. It is a difficult thing to do because of the absence of any u figures on the subject. Ths farmers have j suffered greater lo3se3 on beef in the last ten ? years than on any other product, and still the strange fact remains that beef is the only product of consequence which does not figure n in the speculative markets. There is no dealing in 'futures' or 'ootions' on beef." ? a _ g * ?mr*rr/NTr t>tt t T/-i i 1111 IT TIT/N STttUUJi UI LlUTLXiN UN It# t, V Two Children Killed and Their I . Father Nearly Blinded.

The mountain* ous and volcanic nature of the country renders large portions nntillable. For probably the same reason the soil n not naturally very fertile, but it can be, and is. made so by tho I abundant use of compost. Moreover, not F even half of what is fairly fertile is under 1 cultivation; but the amount of cultivated 1 land is gradually increasing, and the harvests are becoming richer.

The doorway is constructed of naj tivo woods in the style of a native gateway, with a gable roof. Just inside the entrance [ is a booth devoted to the exhibit of tea from Shizuoka Kem (prefecture). The Shizuoka tea is of the first quality. Its " One flavor has been developed through the mihiranf mnnv Toam The annual Droduct is 25,000,000 pounds, of which 20*000,000 pounds are exported to the United States. A small sample package of this tea is given t away, of whioh a tiny oup may be had in the f Japanese tea house. Mr. M. Hoshita is the overseer of the Shiznoka exhibits ; Mr. T. Watanabe is in charge i of the different exhibits of tea. and Mr. K. Tawara is chief of both the fisheries and the agricultural bureaus. These gentlemen are always pleased to make explanations to the ! visitors. The sample package is put up in paper dipped in the tannie acid of an unripe . persimmon to preserve it from moisture. Mr. Watanabe is "purveyor of tea to his Imperial ' Majesty's Court of Japan."

It is the plaoe where, according to Japanese history (unfortunately not credible), Jitnmu Tenno, the Japanese Romulus, in 660, B. C., laid the foundations of the . Japanese empire. It is now the most sacred spot in all Japan, the seat of the ancient and popular shrines where the ancestors of the present emperor are worshiped. It is also tho place where, according to tradition, the tea-plat was flret discovered and cultivated. 1 Other important agricultural products exhibited by the Japanese are rice, barley, wheat, buckwheat, beans, sweet potatoes (dried), daikon (a large, bitter radish, which ' is a staple article of diet) and tobacco. A great many kinds of jellies and sweetmeats are made by the Japanese from vegetable products and are harmless and delicious. Several varieties of bottled, boxed and canned fruits, jellies and Confections are on exhibition. The semboi is a kind of waffle much liked by both natives and foreigners. Many kind? of ame also are exhibited. The advertisement of one is a curiosity: "The manufacture of the Awa-Ame is perfected by my house with experiments of many years and scientific principles. It contains more nutritive materials. That taste is very sweet. Persons who have tasted it al way8 would taken the cheerful feelings. "The Okinakan, a cake, is made of the Awa-Ame again.

I An interesting feature of tho Japanese agricultural section is the exhibit of domestic > fowls. One coop contains some bantams, ? which are kept mostly as pets, though the lleeh may be used as food. Another cage contains 8iamese game /owl. whose flesh, beiff.g almost as delicious as that of turkey, , is largely used as food.

A J The Japanese hnvo likewise on exhibition _ specimens of their wild birds, both useful LI and injurious, and of their forage plants. They have published descriptivo catalogues of both birds and plants. Tho former arc xhe divided into three classes: The beneficial , birds of forest and farm, twenty-ona varieties ; the birds used for food, thirty-five vari- * eties, and the birds for miscellaneous uses, 1 fourteen varieties. These aro numbered j consecutively, and are oarafully described as to location, charaateriatics and utility. The Six forage plants, similarly numbered, are (w0 r minutely described with referenoe to duration of growth, height, flowering, seed- were ripening and cutting times, produce to the ' way < acn, composition and locality. E: Last, but not least interesting, aro flro there pictures which hang in the southwest corner of the Japanese pavilion, and represent an methods of hunting.

Another they represents sportsmen, in the early morning press or evening twilight, when the wild duoks Thi Bra flvinir low. catchincr them in nets at the coaol end o[ long bamboo poles.
