Some Bulls Alad.' by France's Popular Sim pleton. M. Calino, the popular French sim pleton, who performs in the humorous literature of France much the same function that the traditional Paddy does in English literature, has been made the subject of a grave study, in which his innocent stupidities are carefully analyzed. He is nothing more or less than a harmless blun derer and complacent lack-wit found in all ages and countries. In France his sayings reflect, however, some thing of the picturesqueness which is characteristic of the nation. Canno's blunderings, it seems, began at an early age. Ho had not craft enough to tell a lie that would hold water for a moment One day at school he got iuto a fight with a com panion, and came home with a gash on his forehead. "How did you get that cut?" asked his father. "What cut, papa?" "Why, that great gash on your fore head." "I bit myself ther?, papa." Later in life Calino delievered him self of the following bit of wisdom: "As for me, I don't care so much for the sun as I do for the moon. You see, the sun only comes after it gets daylight, when we could see just as well without it, but the moon's some use-it shines at night." . Early one morning, when Calino was out with his gun, he saw a robin in the garden of his friend Cai?'Ue. He aimed at it, but it dropped below the top of the wall. Then Calino went into the house, crept upstairs softly, stole into Camille's bedroom without waking Camille, who was in bed, pointed his gun out of the window at the robin and fired-bang! Camille leaped out of bed in wild c-infusion and alarm: "W-w-why-w-w-what's the matter? "Oh, did I wake you up?" said Ca lino. "I pulled the trigger just as softly as I could." An Uncomfortable Superstition. A very uncomfortable superstituion prevails in the Minich Province. Whenever a pigeon-house is to be made the fellaheen consider that the pottery used in its construction should be baked by the help of a human body. A pigeon-house was to be erected in the beginning of this month at the village of Beni Soomrook. in this pro vince, and this necessary preliminary of its construction was not forgotten. A young child was first caughr, and, in spite of his struggles, was put into an oven and burnt alive while the pot tery was baked with the aid of this human holocaust.

Information About Secret Plain Diffused from Island to Island in a Manner Most Unaccountable-Some Remarkable Instances-First News of Samoan Storm, A great surprise which awaits a new* comer in any south Pacific archipelago is the way in which his acts and plans become known, not only to those whom they may concern^ but even. more distinctly to those whom they do not. The first South Sea surprise is that tho islander of fact never stirs a finger to put himself in line with the islander of the books. lt is practically impossible to trace the channel of the news. One may surround himself with servants who know not a word of English and may be as secret as a lodge in discussing plans, yet knowledge of them spreads with speed and with an accuracy which becomes less and less in pro portion as the distance is greater. One is almost tempted to believe that the news is carried by a bird in the air. And it is not only things done and words spoken that aie thus pub lished, even unspoken plans become kno u, to the great hindrance of busi ness combinations. Some explanation may bo imagined to account for the rapid spread of news from place to place on a single islaud, or from islam! to island of a single archipelago. Eut the mind cannot comprehend the diffusion of knowledge from archipelago to archipelago, where there is no intercommunication except by tho mo'it roundabout ways. Yet news spreads from islander to islander along channels which they either can not or will not explain, and from the islander it comes to the white mau. Such news is sometimes accurate, oftener quite wrong; but the nmn wise iu the ways of the beach knows that something has happened and awaits developments. Here is au instance: Last year a distinguished studeut uf the Maoris of New Zealand, S. Percy Smith, sur veyor-general of that colony, made an extended tour of Polynesia. Before going to Apia, his last stop was at Karotonga, GOO miles away. He weut to Apia by the only way of steamship travel, from Earotouga to Auckland, on one line, and from Auckland to Apia ou another, no vessel having ar rived at Apia direct from Barotonga within a year. On the hour of his arrival the Apia collector of customs commented on a greenstone watch charm w hich he was wearing, and said that he had learned of the interest w ith which the native people of Raro tongo had listeued to the traveler's account of the veneration Avith which the Maoris regard the jade as an almost sacred ornament. The collec tor of customs could not recall when or where he learned that fact-he just knew it, that was all. This trivial story had apparently in some mysteri ous way come faster than the traveler by steam. Yet auother instance: The press as sociations of this country had accounts of the strained relatious of the Ameri can and the German squadrons in Apia harbor as they existed in February, 1889. This news was published in at point-blank range in Apia naroor. German ships were sunk, American ships were sunk, man}' lives were lost, it was said. The story could be traced back no further than Washing ton. It came out of the navy depart ment in au unofficial way, and if the officials traced it still further back to any source that fact was never made known. In the course of a day or so all the papers pointed out the inac curacy of the news and showed how impossible it would be to have any sort of information before the fixed date of the mail. Now this story was false in every point. There was no naval combat poiut blank in Apia har bor nor at any range in Samoan wa ters, yet all who were familiar with the south sea knew that somethiug had hap2)ened and that the news had come through the south sea news ser vice and waited for the facts. Note the date. It was the end of the third w eek in March that this news was published. The April mail .up from Samoa brought the news of the mem orable hurricane, ot" the wreck of the Adler, the Eber and the Olga of the German navy; of . the wre?k of the Trenton and the Vandalia and of the beaching of the Nipsic of Admiral' Kimberley's squadron. And this took placent the beginning of the third week in March.-New York Bun. They Always Get There. "The New York and Chicago cab drivers ought to take a few lessons from the French, and particularly the Parisians." observed the Cincinnati woman who had just returned from Europe. "I had been shopping and took a fiacre to return to the hotel. We had scarcely got underway when we knocked down a pedestrian, and I pulled th3 strap and said to the driver: "Did you not see that you ran over a man?" " 'Very plainly, madame,' he re plied, 'but he should not have been in my way.' "Five mi. ,i,es later a hind wheel cama off and I pulled the strap and asked: " 'Why don't you stop? Can't yon see that you have lost a wheel?' " 'I see. madame,' he replied, 'but wc hive three wheels left.' "We went scraping aloup for a few nvnute's," said the lady, "and then the other wheel came off. I thought th . man would stop then, but as he didn't T pulled the strap and said: " 'We have now lost both hind whec's.' " 'Ah, yes, madame,' he answered, with a smile, 'but we have not lost four!' "And he whipped up his horses and dragged along for a quarter of a mile and brought mo up to the hotel with a great flourish. When I got out I asked him what he would have done if the oilier two wheels had parted com pany and he waved his band toward them and shrugged his shoulders and replied: " 'it is impossible, madame, I never lose but two wheels in carrying a beautiful lady!'

Thought Professions Overcrowded. Peter E. Scblegel is a recent gradu ate of Bucknel! university at Lewis burg, iu Pennsylvania. He saw that the professions were crowded, so he concluded not to waste any time on the law, mediciue or theology. Ha made up his miud to be a small farmer. He took a four-acre tract between Pricetown, Pa., and Fleetwood, and began a systematic, scientific cultiva^ tion of the soil. He now makes a? much money as many farmers do on 100 acres. He is an expert truck gar dener, having worked for four years on a high-class truck farm in Florida. In addition to this he had experience on-several large farms near the col lege. Not only has he exhibited more th.in ordinary tact in marketing Iiis products, but whatever he raises is of the finest quality, and consequently commands a price far above the aver age. One of tho specialties of the Schlegel truck gorden are melons. He raised on half an acre 2000 melons, which he sold in bulk at six and eight cents apiece. Melon raising must be done scientifically, if one wishes to receive perfect fruit. The trouble with most of the melons on the market is thnt they lack sweetness. Mr. Schle gel's are sweet, tender aud juicy. He attributes his success to a system of fertilization. He adds certain ele ments to tho soil to produce sacchar ine matter in the melons, and gets what he wants. Mr. Schlegel also makes an especial effort to raise vegetables early or late in the season, slates The Sun. He knows just what vegetables and what varieties are best adapted to the dif ferent seasons ?nd the weather condi tions. Last year he planted peas in the open ground as early as March 18, and produced an early crop. Then he planted some that were picked and marketed late in October at good prices. His experience has taught him tbat peas can stand wet and cold weather as well, but readily suffer un der hot and dry conditions. A white frost seldom hurts peas. Mr. Schle gel's gardens are elevated to such an extent and slope iu such a manner that the ground becomes fit for culti vation several weeks earlier in spring than the average soil. He raises all sorts of vegetables, and selects the varieties in accordance with the tastes of his customers. He is a strong ad vocate of small farms, and says if col-' lege men would bucklo down to work on five acres of ground, and bring their brain work to action they would not need to be hard up in the profes sions. He is in good health and en joys being his own boss without ex cessively hard labor. He keeps a horse,. two cows, hens and pigeons, and all yield something for his purs9 or his table. ? KILLED BY THIER FRIENDS, Spanish Sholls Aimed nt the Men innie Fell on Morro Castle. Lieutenant Hobson tells iu The Cen tury why it was that the Spanish offi cers at Morro Castle believed the col lier Merrimac to be an armored man of wal lt was not long before the governor of the Morro came, making me a most cordial visit. He was followed by the have been a fragment resulting from their own fire, at which the colonel became serious, as though a new and unwelcome thought was passing through his mind. He, too, had taken us for an armored vessel forcing our way through, and what he 3aid about, our fire puzzled me. Thc next time Charette came in he told me that wounded men were being operated on in the room just above the men's cell, and that the blood was running down the wall, and had run down the clues of his hammock, so that he had to change its position. When I had a chance to speak to him and to the others afterward, they said that both a Spauish sergeant and a Spanish pri vate had told them that the blood came from the men we had wounded -that we had killed fourteen and wounded thirty-seven! In a visit to the Morro after the surrender I was very much puzzled to find frosh gashes and imprints of vari ous sizes in the rear wails as though it had been attacked from the inshore side, while we bad attacked only from the sea. Every indication seemed to point to the conclusion that the Spani ards firing at the Merrimac had struck their own men across the channel. This was the more to be expected from the horizontal fire. Morro, though elevated, was in the line of tire from the Beina Mercedes, whose projectiles, exploding on the Alerri mac, doubtless showered tho banks and the rear of Morro beyond. No wonder, then, that they took us for au armored man-of-war. A Town Without Police. Together they died-the year 1898 and the funny old night watch of Limerick. It was by a very narrow squeak that the verdict was given against the watch, its death sentence being decreed by fourteen against thirteen voten of the corporation. But the dead watch will not be unavenged. The police decline to undertake the night work of the Treaty city, hav ing no legal authority to discharge such duty. The inspector general of the constabulary, in his communica tions with the Limerick Corporation; intimate d that if an act of parliament were obtained empowering the police to do night duty, the additional force would cost about $6625 per annum. This question, however, is left for the new council to deal with. In the meantime there may be high jinks in Limerick every night by those who are inclined to amusa themselves in night escapades. -New Ireland. Soino Wonderful Nal ural Forces. New forces in nature are being con stantly discovered, and nobody but an expert attempts to describe them with accuracy. Some of the experiments border on the miraculous. There is that one, for instance, with liquefied air in which quicksilver , is frozen. The mercury is poured into a mould having a hammer shape, and is sub jected to the temperature of liquid air two hundred and forty degrees below zero, from which it come3 out in so solid a form that it can be used to drive nails. For an hour its solidity of form is preserved. Then there is anothar experiment, seemingly still more marvellous.

A SQUADRON OF MODELS. -jntottsres of Our War Vessels io Be at the Paris Exposition. JiThere ls one fleet of Uncle Saras ".ssels whose -wanderings are not re eded in the reports of the navy, and -'jat is the squadron of models now sting for a while in the hallways of ?jje Navy Department, Washington. These tiny representations of our real lighting cruft have travelefl thousands cf unregistered miles and have, lu all probability, been seen by inore of the American people than thc ships that tactually form our seagoing defense, ?j'hey have been In every state exposi tion since their first appearance, at the (?hicago Fair, each time in augument cd numbers, and two of them have ejven been'to Japan, where they so Im pressed the Imperial Admiralty as to cause the building of thc Chit?se and the Kasagi in this country. They will, no doubt, form an attractive feature of our exhibit at Paris next year, es pecially as so mauy of the models rep resent .the vessels that have actually faced the guns of the enemy, and, too, it may truly be said these miniature ships have influenced legislation in be half of the navy's increase by reach ing tho inland people previously un interested_In the service. As a last ing record of the new navy they will prove material evidence in the decades to come when the ships themselves have passed, as the late Maine, into history. From the old Kearsarge to the mighty new one the Ncvy Depart ment shows strikingly our advance, and, too in a manner to be grasped .by young and old, tbe tcchnicist and the layman. At present this growing squadron consists of 23 models either represent ing individual ships or classes of ships, and, with the exception of torpedo boats and torpedo boat destroyers, ev ery type has its miniature double. There are models of the late Maine, and it would be hard to say how many thousands came to see it during the earl." days of that disaster; the Charleston, the Baltimore, the New York, the Columbia, the Texas, the Monterey, the Miautonomoh, the Bos ton, the Bancroft, the Petrel, the Yorktown, the Nashville, the Wilming ton, the' Vesuvius, the Illinois, the Iowa, tue Olympia, and rho old Kear sarge, and the battleship class of the Massachusetts, Indiana and Oregon, and the composite boats typified by the Annapolis and the Wheeling. The construction of these models was begun under the direction of Chief Constructor Hitchborn, at the navy yard, Washington, quite ten years ago, and the present force, num bering nearly thirty, has for the major part been continuously engaged on this delicate work ever since. In every outward detail these little vessels are faithful miniatures of their big doubles in actual service, and what that means can best be understood form a* brief outline of thc manner and the care of fabrication.

Oatmeal or rolled oats make the best first fod for chicks. Give the young chicks plenty of fine grit. They must have it. Incubator chicks that aro reared in brooder never have gapes.

One of the terras of the "pacifica tion" of the Philippine islands required the surrender of all the arms aeld by the insurgents to the Spaniards. It is believed that this condition was faithfully fulfilled, so that before Aguinaldo's arrival- in Cavite there were no modern firearms in the hands of the natives except such-as they had captured in hand to hand fights with the Spanish troops. Yet by the time Aguinaldo was ready to move across the bay into Cavite province the rebels had taken 479 Mauser rifles from their oppressors. How was It done? Well, every rifle so captured meant that from one to Ave Filipinos had been killed in the savage onslaught of half naked men armed only with machetes upon disciplined troops arm ed wi th the best magazine rifles. When a sr . ill body of Spanish soldiers would be o*, the' march through some narrow defile in the swamps they would sud denly find a hundred rebels swarming around them, and the sharp home made blades of the natives would cut down from ten to twenty of the' Span iards before the latter could get their rifles at work. If the Filipinos suc ceeded in getting away with half a, dozen Mauser rifles from the men whom' they had cut down in their first. onslaught they were- satisfied, even' though the bodies of- a dozen of their" companions were thrown contemptu-' ously-into the swamp after the Span iards had repelled the attack. , f the transient nature of the many, physical ills which vanish before proper ; efforts-rightly directed.
