"I've been down home again on my usual summer visit and had the greatest time this rear ever. In fact as time goes by the old spot seems dearer and dearer, and recollections tenderer; and little things to which once I never gave a second thought, appeal - to me more and more. | "On the day I got there, this time, we had cup custards for dinner. Beautiful they were, too; I have never tasted any cup custards such as mother makes; and these were the best of her make; rich and delightful, as always. "But there was something wrong about mine, somehow; what, I couldn't at first make out; the custard was k: simply delicious, but there was some thing wrong somewhere; and present- | ly I discovered what it was and I j says to mother: " 'Mother.' * 44 4What is it, Molancthon?' she says, & and I says: 44 'It's the most beautiful custard I B|'' ever tasted, but you've given it to me in a cup with a handle on it.* * 44 'Well, don't you want it in a cup - with a handle on it, MelancthouV she j ||:d; V" 'Why, don't you remember,' I says, | I";- . 'that when we used to have cup cus- j H . tarda I always used to get the cup < u with the broken haudleV P-:' 44 'So you did, Melancthon, so you ggo- did!' she said, and that was all she f; said; but I am sure you can guess what she did. "The next day we had cup custards W&/ again; and when they came around, ff\- lo, the cup that mine was in was a i pV enp without a handle. The fractured ! surface of a sharp and jagged rem-| Iuaut 01 it mat reraaineu, projecting from the side of the cup, was fresh and bright; it had not, on this cup, been browned over, as the broken handle on the other had been, with the heat of many bakings; but still it was the old cup come back again. And when I had finished the custard In it and ha'd grasped the cup around with one hand and. held it up, and scraped the inside of it until I had got the! very last speck and then had licked the spoon, I felt my youth come back again in childhood's happy home.'"?New York Sun. Keep Nothing But Good Stock. Every farmer should be well supplied with live stock. No farmer can afford ^to ' ffirm without the income that the jstock affords. As he must keep the stock he might as well make them a success, and in order for them to be a-success, he must not keep any more stock than he can shelter, attend to, and feed properly. He must also raise only the best, for there is more money in a thoroughbred animal than In *a scrub, and they both eat as much as another and cost as much to keep.: ! - Might Have Been Worse.

Moulton, Who Tells a Few Stories of a Taki.ig Kind. Professor R. (I. Moulton of the English Department at the University of Chicago has a way of enlivening his lectures by pointed anil homely illustrations. "Sometimes we hear as an objection to the plot of a first-class novel that it is utterly improbable," said the : professor a few days ago. "Now the ! fact is that the only thing which is true is fiction. There is nothing so false as what we call the truth. Facts always give some loophole of escape. For instance there was n man that you ought to know about, who wished very much t.o commit suicide. Shocking? Yes, to be sure, but the man was not troubled with a conscience. | The only thing that worried him was ! the fear that he should make a fail- | ure of his attempt to kill himself. 'I j know myself so well that 1 feel sure i the thing would be a liasco,' he always declared. For thirty years this conviction was the only obstacle that stood between that man and death. "Finally he mustered up the courage one day to try to commit suicide. He went over all the details carefully and took every precaution against failure. He went to the edge of a cliff overhanging the sea near his home. With him he carried a revolver, a bottle of poison, a rope, and a box of matches. He tied one end -of the rope around his neck and fastened the other end to a tree near by. Then he swallowed the poison, set lire to his clothes, fired the pistol at his head and jumped off the cliff." Professor Moulton ended his story here and blandly proceeded to bow himself out of his class room. "But, professor, was the man killed?'' shouted the overwrought class of future American novelists. "By no means," replied the professor in astonishment. "Excitement made the man nervous and liis pistol shot went wide of the mark. The rope caught tire from his burning clothing, came in two in a trice, and the man fell into the water and that put out flames. He never was a very good sailor anyhow and the poison hardly remained long enough in his system to make him dizzy. lie was rescued by an officious fisherman, who charged ?3 for his trouble. And yet people talk about the improbabilities of fiction."?Chicago Inter Ocean. Women as Baby Protograpners. Modern photography is making it possible for the coming, men and women, who are being pictured awake aud asleep, laughing and crying, in the bath and at play, to see themselves in their childhood as other saw tliem. Many mothers now keep an album devoted especially to each child, and where formerly once a year, or twice at the most, was regarded sufficiently frequent to picture the youngsters, the daily life from the earliest infancy'to college days is now faithfully recorded. Many women are taking advantage of this fad, and are carrying on a thriving business as baby photograp>ers, and the multitudes and ea>r7ness of relatives and friends for baby's picture with papa, with mamma, with the nurse and alone secure to them no end of patronage. ieytroubles s Vegetable Comally Successful in .

PINK HAM MEDIClNK CO. THE CELESTIAL TIME SYSTEM. Odd Tilings Abont the Chinese Calendar. Many perplexing problems were presented to Americans in the message? from Minister Conger recently forwarded by the Chinese officials to th? administration in Washington, but none is a greater Chinese puzzle to the average system than the problem of determining time according to the Celestial system. The Chinese have no use for the generally accepted calendar. This resulted in the to us odd expression which appears in the message sent by the Tsung-li-Ynmen to Wu Ting I-Mng. the Chinese Minister in Washington. This message began: "Your telegram of the fifteenth day of this moon." Experts in the use of the Chinese calendar readily understood what was meant by the "fifteenth day of this moon," but they could become experts only after long and earnest study. The Chinese month is the lunar month, consisting of twenty-nine or thirty days. A year may have twelve months, and consist of 35-1 or 355 days, or it may have thirteen months and consist of 383 or 381 days. To bring the calendar year into accord with the j solar year, the Chinese provide for an , extra month every second or third year. This they call the "second third month" or the "second sixth month," as the case may be. With them an | hour consists of 120 minutes. They have no weeks and are content to divide the months into thirds. Thus, j where the more modern nations find j weeks very convenient in the division t of time, the Celestials are satisfied if they can keep within a third of a month of the actual time of any given event. That there should be many odd fea| tures of the Chinese calendar is not surprising when one remembers that the yellow race still adheres to the system adopted in the year 2300 B. C. Yoa. who was counted a wise ruler by his race, revised the calendar in that year, decreeing that thereafter time should be measured by the moon. In order to make tlie calendar accurate he further provided that there should be seven extra months in the course of every nineteen years. As a result Chinese time varies little more than an hour every nineteen years from the true time. In a general way, time is counted in China by two methods?first, by cycles of sixty years each, and,' second, by the reigns of the successive Emperors. A Chinaman, in giving his age. may report that he was born on the tenth day of the third month, in the fifth year of Ilien Fung, or in the fiftysecond year"of the cycle. That year corresponds to our own year 1S53. Asthe third lunar month in that yeaT began on April 10, the English equivalent for the tenth day of that month was April 25, 1S35. Another illustration of the oddity of the Chinese calendar is brought out in the despatch from the Tsung-liYamen. By our calculation the day to which he referred as "the fifteenth day of this moon" was the eleventh day of the month. . Ono Way of Looking at It. "Look at this, will you?' exclaimed the estate and house-renting optimist. "In this paper there is a record of eighty-seven marriage licenses issued yesterday." "Well, what of it?" said his partner, the pessimist of the firm, who wis leaning back in a chair with his hat nnlln/1 /Iawii li Jo avao ?J UliVU UVH U l/? VI liio V J V o. "Wliat of it?'' echoed the other. "Can't you see? Those eighty-seven marriage licenses mean eighty-seven marriages. The eighty-seven marriages will lead to eighty-seven inquiries for houses, flats, or at least eligible apartments. It's bound to stimulate business in our line, and we'll get our share." "That doesn't follow at all. Those eighty-seven licenses represent one hundred and seventy-four persons, don't they?" "Yes." "Probably all adults?" "Undoubtedly. What of it?" "Nothing," growled the pessimist; "except that one hundred and seventyfour persons who have hitherto occupied one hundred and seventy-four apartments will hereafter occupy eighty-seven. You give mo d pain. Go away." Qalte Different. "An increase of salary!" exclaimed the pompous manager of a small omnibus company to a clerk who had just made that request. "I am afraid, sir, that you are extravagant!" He toyed with his heavy watch chain and looked severely at the young man, who returned his stare boldly. It was the set phrase on such occasions, and the applicant had heard it all before. He meant to have that rise or?go somewhere else. "Excuse me, sir," he replied respectfully, "I haven't any chance to be extravagant on what I earn." "Young man,'\ continued the pompous gentleman, "I have risen from the ranks. How? By being careful. When I was young I made money by saving bus fares.". "Ah, that was in the old days," said the young man, with a knowing wink. "But with the bell punches and the present system of inspection, you would find you couldn't save sixpence without being collared, however careful you were." The manner nearly fainted, and the young man uau 10 sees omt- employment Goir In Mexico. Golf lias found a lodgment In Mexico City. It has been many years in findiug its way from the United States to the republic in the south, as there has been a feeling that it was more of a fad than a serious and engaging occupation. Besides, it has in its practice a little more freedom than has been considered consistent with social ideas in the semi-triopical city. Persons courageous enough to tell of the witcheries of the sport and to follow their convictions have been found, however, and after much trouble links have been laid out at San Pedro. Americans and Englishmen resident in the city are the principal movers in a club that has been formed, and they intend to put up a club house at San Pedro and make it rival the clubs in America. Mexicans did not take kindly to the idea at once, but some of them have ventured to play, and the game promises to take hold among them as it has in the United States. There are now uine-liole links that are pronounced to be very sporty. TIio Whole Art of Dress. Comtesse de Montaign makes a novel suggestion in the Lady's Realm: "In our colleges we have chairs of philosophy, psychology, painting and music; why not one also dedicated to correct costuming, where young women may, along with other accomplishments, acquire the art of dressing well?" *. FULUOMPANY IS MISSING Fifty=Two Men. Probably Captared or Killed By Filipinos. COMPANY F, OF 29TH REGIMENT Was Recruited at Fort HcFherson, Ga., and Commanded By Captain Shields. Company F, of the Twenty-ninth infantry, the Georgia regiment now doing duty in the Philippines, has been wiped out by the Filipinos, Captaiu Devereaux Shields and fifty-one men being either wounded or captured. The news of this disaster was conveyed in an official report made by Geueral MacArthur, received at the war department Friday morning. Details of the affair outside of those contained in General MacArthur's official report are lacking, but it is evident from what the commanding general has to say that the entire command has been either wiped out or captured. The disaster occurred in the island of iVlariuduque, winch the war department charts show to be a small island about three hundred miles south of Manila. Santa Cruz is the principal port and is on the north side of the island. The cablegram follows: "Manila, September 28.?Adjutant General, Washington: September 11th Captaiu Devereaux Shields and fiftyone men, company F, Twenty-ninth rogimeut, United States volunteer infantry, and one hospital corps man, left Santa Crnz, Marindnque, by gunboat Villa Lobes, for Torrijos, intending to return overland to Santa Cruz.

Anderson ooiitirras first report as to capture, but unable, September to give details, present whereabouts of Shields and party, names killed'and wounded. Ikis information probably available soon.

Captain Shields was lieutenant colonel on the Second Mississippi during the Spanish war. He was made captain in the Twenty-ninth infautry, July 5, 1899. He was a resident of Natchez, Miss., where his wife now resides. The scene of this latter reverse is a small island lying due south of the southern coast of Luzon apd about 30?) miles from Manila. Marinduque is about twenty-four miles in diameter and was garrisoned by two small detachments of United States troops, One of these was at Boac, on the west coast of the island, and the other was at Santa Cruz, the principal port, on the north side. Captain Shields appears to have started from Santa Cruz on a gunboat for Torrijos, a small coast port, and it is inferred that the boat as well as the body of troops under that officer, has been captured, for the dispatch makes no reference to her return.

The Estimated Length of a Serpent Wbose Petrified Head and Tall Have Been Found. In ages gone by there were snakes In Colorado perhaps 100 feet in length. ' Curator Will C. Ferrll, of the State ' Historical Society, considers himself at liberty to make this statement, as the result of recent discoveries made in the vicinity of Florence. A huge monster has been discovered which proves beyond peradventure the snake storv. Near Florence, W. F. Masters. 1 of Victor, found part of the petrified body of one colossal snake. The prehistoric reptile had a head fully the size of a ham and about the same shape. The exceptionally large eyes are placed as are those of an ordinary . snake. The stone head is .13x30 Inches. 1 A piece of the stone tail found, -which c is 30 inches long, indicates that the fi reptile must have been 30 Inches in ^ circumference. Masters seems to ^ think from the development of , the j tail that this particular snake was a young one, not fully developed. In j that case those of the same family fully grown would be larger and much longer. In sending to Governor Thomas the description of this ira- ( poi-tant discovery Masters says that f he will forward a sketch as soon as f possible. Ferril was asked by Gov- 1 ernor Thomas to use every means at t his disposal to secure the specimen at e once, togelher with as many others I from the same locality as possible. J Curator Ferril thinks that as the os sifted head was found in the sandstone strata there must be more specimens near at hand. These he will at 1 once secure, if possible, and will add a them to the State collection. Master's letter to Governor Thomas, t which sets forth the first vague and uncertain facts in this important dis- ^ covery, is as follows: * ' "Honored Sir: I have recently found a fossilized specimen of a huge .monster of a very singular character, i and. thinking you were the one most * likely to cite me to the proper person for further correspondence in regard to the matter. I would be pleased to k have you refer the matter to proper authority and have the enclosed clip- r ping written up in the Republican. If r I have time I will send a rough sketch of the find. I think this is something not on record, and should be kept in the State museum."?Denver Republican. Archery Revived In Pads.
