KNOCKED HE?L AND SALUTED. How General Sumner Rebuked a West Point Lieutenant. An incident happened on the day of the surrender of Santiago which was amusing, and showed the Importance that young West Pointers feel when tbey first wear a suit of the blue after discarding the cadet gray. A young second lieutenant, who had been graduated from the first class a couple of months before the regular graduation at West Point, had Just joined his regiment and was walking down the street near the palace. He stopped on "the corner, and as he did so an old griuied soldier with a growth of beard on his face and with a cavalry . sergeant's stripe on his breeche3, a blue shirt and campaign hat, but with Yio othM* m?>rV nf runt nhnnt" his imi? form except his sergeant's stripe, "walked slowly down and stopped in front of the lieutenant, looking aroufid ait the different buildings. The yoUttg officer fidgeted a few moiAefctS under the manner in which the trooper ignored his proximity, and finally turned on him and said, sharply: "Here, ycU man, did any one ever teach you how to salute?" "Yes. sir," drawled the trooper, as he glanced at the youngster. "Well, knock your heels together," Bald the young officer, and the trooper came to attention with the precision of sin old soldier. "Now salute," he said, and the trooper's gauntlet came to the rim of his hat and stayed there until the young lieutenant answered it, at the same time demanding: "Now, remember this, and don't let it happen again. What is your name, and what de you belong to?" Without relaxing his pOsftf&d from attention the old ttooper fcgajn respectfully saluted and Ihmarked dryly: "My name is Samuel Sumner, and I'm brigadier general of the cavalry gade," whereupon the young lieutenant proceeded to copy as Ifiany colors of the rainbow with his face as was '? % possible, and slipped away as soon as he dared, forgetting even to apologize. ?J.

How gladly would men fly to woman's aid did they but understand a ' .woman's feelings, trials, sensibilities, ; and peculiar organic disturbances.

The man with the tools and implements will always go ahead of him who depends solely on hand labor. A Hint to Peach Cultivators. Those who grow peaches should keep a continued lookout for indications of the yellows. A premature ripening of the fruit is one of the first symptoms, though the lack of flavor in the peach should enable one to detect the disease if he is familiar with the variety. But when the little yellow looking sprouts aud bunches of leaves *eem tb break out through the bark at nlaces where no branch, s Should be expected, then it is a sure thing that the tree has the yellows, and the sooner it ifi disposed of the better for the re^t bf the orchard: Cut it down or dig it otit root and branch, talcing care hot to touch another tree with it While doing so, or while carrying it out. Then as soon as dry enough burn it. Do not let even the smoke of the burning blow toward the other peach trees, and do not set ao other tree near the spot where thD condemned tree stood. x. Fali Planted Treea? There is a security of investment In trees for fall plantihg. that does not attach to spring planted trees. In the fall planted tree the risk is minimum; whereas, in the tree set out in the spring it is maximVim. This has been our observation and experience. The tree *that is planted in the fall has three or four months to fortify itself at the roots before nature calls on it to pump sap to the top for new top growth. It soon establishes itself firmly, takes a vigorous root, and is in condition to develop itself above the surface, at the very first call for renewed growth. It is firmly set by the late fall and the winter rains, and if the summer should be dry. it will not suffer like the spring set tree that is still unsettled and weak at the root. In planting, we prefer one year old TVtAt* A a y\ nf mol*Q oc miiAVi oIiaw* licco. JL ucj UV ixvt uiuat cio rnuv.li o**v ? at first, but we venture the assertion that one year old trees, set out in the fall, will surpass In growth any two year old trees that are set the following spring. Root growth is the prime object at first and in no way can it be more surely obtained than by planting one year old trees in the fall of the year. A vigorous top growth is sure to follow as the season advances.?The Epitomist A Profitable Combination, To combine poultry raising and gardening, so as to make the land produce large crops and increase in fertility, gives returns every month in the year. A poultryman in New England has a four-acre farm, fenced and divided into two lots of two acres each. His poultry home.is So arranged that the fowls can be turned into either lot. as desired. About 200 hens are kept in one lot while the other is used as a garden. The fowls are not fed on the same ground continually, but at different places, so as to cover the entire lot several times during the year, the object being to have the hens work over the whole surface and distribute the manure evenly. T' 1 next year the fowls are changed into the garden plot and the gardening done on the plot formerly occupied by the fowls. The result that the land is enriched by the droppings and the waste food, and as the fowl yard is-plowed once or twice a year the insects are reduced, the garden crops being large, while returns come in during the winter months from eggs.

I.ess Salt in the l-ntter. Too much salt is used by many butter-makers. The whole tendency among consumers is toward fresher butter. In England and on the continent butter is made in those countries is served particularly fresh and white. In the best restaurants and hotels in the larger cities in this country the butter contains very little salt. A great number of Americans who go abroad, or who patronize city hotels and restaurants in their own country, are acquiring the taste for fresh batter. The fancy dairies that command extravagant prices put out a product that is almost fresh. Creameries that are catering to the highest class grocers and best family trad?, now us? only half as much salt as they did five or 10 years ago. This point is worthy of more general consideration by dairymen and creamery men everywhere. The quality of salt is also important, but the leading brands are now quite above reproach in this respect. Of course the salt manufacturer favors the largest possible use of salt, but the dairyman's chief object should be quality rather fhan quantity in salt. The large export trade in butter, particularly in England and the continent will never be built up until the peculiarities of that market regarding a reduced quantity of salt in butter are catered to. . * --- - -*.v .'I.'.

The dairy business is in a sense a manufacturing business. The 'cow is the machine which converts the raw material represented by grain and forage into milk. All lines of business, including agriculture, have been compelled to adopt modern methods. The dairy business, however, requires a large degree Of intelligence in tiiat it is governed by natural laws which dre not as constant as tlidse governing the manufacture of iron and steel products. Success in dairying today depends upon two conditioner First upon the reduction of the cost of production and second the improvement of the quality of the products, in ine tirst instance the dairyman must thoroughly understand the feeding of cows, the milk and its care, the marketing of butter and cheese, the cow herself, and must have a thorough knowledge of the various feeds needed. The difference in cows is nicely illustrated* by two cows at the New Jersey experiment station. During the past year these cows ate practically the same amount of feed?$40 worth. They received precisely the same care, and were looked after by the same attendant. One cow produced 12.000 pounds of miik, which sold for $120, thus giving a profit of $80 above the cost of the feed. The other cow produced 4500 pounds of milk, which sold for $45 and returned a profit above the cost of the feed of only $5, a difference of $75 in favor of the first cow. The amount of milk, however, is not the only consideration. The 12,000 pounds of milk produced by the first cow contained only 4 per cent of butter fat which if made into butter would have been worth $140, the profit being $100. The other cow's milk contained G 1-2 per cent, of butter fat, which, if made into butter would have been worth $85 and left a profit of $45. This illustrates the necessity of choosing a cow of maximum capacity for milk or butter. The matter of feeding cows is a very complicated one. As a general thing a balanced ration is best, but it 's best only when it is cheapest. A trill onsWuf whr>n it Will produce butter cheaper than a narrow ration. It has been found that a ration consisting of silage, corn stalks fapd brewers' grains with a nutritive ratio,of 1-5.4. The basis if this ration was the food value only. In tests at the New Jersey experiment station, it was found that good corn silage, being nore palatable, was from 10 to 18 per cent more valuable than the same amount of corn fodder. The second consideration, that of making a high-grade product, is of very great importance. Uniformity of milk and butter is absolutely necessary to a business success. A few years ago the New Jersey experiment station began dairying in a small way with grade cows under conditions as found on the ordinary farm. The milk sold reasonably well, but at the end of the first year there was an increase of not more than 5 per cent, in the amount consumed. The second year, a modern dairy house was erected where it was possible to handle the milk properly. The cows were also well cared for and well fed and bedded. At the end of the first six months of the second year, ;.ke sale of milk had increased MO i>er cent, and 20 per cent, more during the second six months. At the end of the fourth year a ' further increase of 15 per cent, was noted. Not only this, but a cash business was done and the milk is now selling for eight cents per quart, while ordinary milk brings only four ents. Not only did the sales increase, but the families who first bought inTeased their consumption 15 per cent. ?Frofessor E. B. Voorhees, in the \'?tr TvnnPnr.rl Hnmpsfend. Comrade* an ?

' > FILIBUSTERS WIN OUT State Depot Bill Blocked In the Georgia Legislature, A VOTE WAS EFFECTUALLY PREVENTED Dilatory Tactics Resorted to By Opponents of the Measure Result In Its Displacement. An Atlanta special says: Tender the rules of the Georgia house of representatives, which adinits of a handftti of men controlling.the entire action of the body, the depot bill was successfully blocked Friday by the use of dilatory tactics. Gathering around him a majority of the men who are against legislation, thirty-one in number, the member from Bibb couuty, Hon. Joe Hall, determined that in spite of the majority of the house and in contravention of the report of the steering committee, the depot bill should not come up on its passage. Ten votes more than enough to pass the bill Were ready tb be cast fot* the me&shrej according to those favoring it, and its passage was assured as soon as a vote could be cast, and the opponents of the bill resorted to a filibuster as their only hope of killing the bill. The entire morning was taken up in a stubborn wrangle. Every effort made by the majority to biing on a vote failed. The obstructionists resorted to every parliamentary expedient afforded them under the rules to prevent a vote. So stubborn were the filibusters that it became apparent early in the session that the hopes of reaching a vote during the day's session was a slender one. Some believed that the obstructionists would keep up their tactics and prevent a vote during the entire session. The opinion was expressed by some that the blockers woilld make it necessary for the govemor^to call ah eitra session of the legislature to paSs necessary bills; Dilatory motions and speeches* toll calls, questions of personal privilege were resorted to over and over again. It was a red-hot ahd spirited fight from the start. Much feeling was manifested. There were many heated exchanged of repartee and the friends and opponents of the bill engaged in a constant clash from the outset. Much time was taken up over a resolutien that the house adjourn sine die. The galleries were packed with people and the interest was iutense. Several times th*e galleries vented their feelings by cheers or hisses and Speaker Little was forced several tithes to threaten to clear the galleries. He at one time threatened to arrest and bring before ths bar any person guiltjr of hissing. Many senators came ever from their wing of the capitol and watched the fight. The house was powerless to place the bill on its passage so long as the call for the ayes and nays continued, and finally at 12:30 o'clock, when it ?fViot nnflnnir Ann 1 rl Via WOO c TiUVUU done at the session, the house agreod almost unanimously to an adjournment. At the close of the session the steering committee was called to order for the purpose considering the action of ihe minority. In the interest of economy, of time and money, two considerations which the minority bad failed to take into account or had ignored, the committee decided to put the depot bill aside for the time being and recommend that a number of subsidiary measures be placed on their passage. This arrangement met with the hearty approval of the minority, for at the afternoon session the serenity of the house remained undisturbed. 8ENATE ENTERS PROTEST. The filibustering in the house on the depot bill aroused the senate and^ the latter body entered a severe protest On the motion of Senator Ellis, the house wos informed that if it does not send the tax act and the general appropriations act promptly to the senate, the latter body will refuse to consider bills of the house until those two important bills are sent.

He has under his charge 5,000 to 0,000 j Indians, and they look to him as their j ruler. He has six cr seven large stores, located at .Dyea, Juneau and | other points and practically controls the trade with his people. Every three years Chief Johnson has a big potlatch, at which time he gives away thousands of blankets and other things j useful to members of his tribe. He j had a potlatch in 1S98, and it cost him j $25,000, And the one held last year j was almost as expensive. There are other hidlan chiefs iii j Alaskd, but none "frho have as numer- I ous dependents aS Johnson. There are ' proV.ibly twenty chiefs in all, the next, in point of number of followers below : bim having about 3,000. One of these i chiefs is to give a big potlatch to his people this year, and so Chief Johnson, the principal business man for the Indians of that northern country, has I mot-o cnofidi nnrehases ! tumc uun U IU uiunv ? ' J of blankets and other articles suitable | for the extraordinary occasion. It has been the custom of the chief to come here annually to make his purchases from the Thomas Kay "Woolen Mill Company, but they were unable to fill his order for 5.000 blankets, as j they only had about 500 pairs oh hand. These he took and the remainder will be sent later. Chief Johnson has some members 6f bis tribe in the Chemawd Indian school, and he will visit that institution before be returns to his home in Alaska. This representative of our northernmost possession is not satisfied with some of the laws which have been made at Washington to govern the Indians. He bitterly opposes the encroachments of the white man, and says that the game is disappearing from the hunting grounds, and the fish no longer swarm the streams as in years gone by. Hunting and fishing are the only occupations of his people, and he sees, at no distant date, these will be destroyed and they will be sunk deeper into poverty and want than they I are at the present time. While speaking of the condition of his people he showed a sincere interest In their welfare and a determination to do everything in his power to add to their com- ' fort and happiness. He says the chiefs of the white men rule only for money, but he rules his people without charge, and they obey him and love him because he is good and just to them. He says the whiskey business in Alocl-n f? v*?rr dptrimental to the In dians, and he would like to see the prohibition law enforced. Chief Johnson dresses well, wearing a white, shirt and a high collar, and he has the appearance of an Intelligent man. He speaks fair English and is a close observer and a shrewd business man. He is a man of great wealth, probably one of the richest in Alaska, and lives in the finest house in any of the northern cities. He has ruled his tribe since the death of his father, which occurred in 1SS0. He is about fifty years of age and is strong and hearty, enjoying the best of health. ?Oregon Statesman. TWO POINTERS ABOUT COATS. "You may go into the goat business and educate the people of the middle West to eat goat meat,7 said Wiley O.

Supposing Russia prepared to seize Herat or threaten Afghanistan, what w-ould be her position? What is the aspect of a Russian invasion of India? What are the great difficulties Russia would have to face in her march toward either the Hindu Kush or Sulaman range of mountains, which latter place or position would command all the passes by which India could be 'invaded from the northwest? The first would be the transport of her army, which would necessarily be great. Lord Roberts experienced great difficulties with supplies for his 15,000 men during his famous march from Kabul to Candahar, hardly any food for man or beast being procnf " able, the resources of that part of tii& Country belling exhausted. Russia's difficulty of maintaining an army of ten v.mes that size would be great in either that city or Kabul, whose inhabitants ar6 half starved. The requirements or a Russian army, according to Col. Eanna, would be for 150,1)00 men at least 1,000,000 tons, and It is unlikely that any General would enter on an Indian invasion,; defended by British and native j troops, with less than three months' j supplies. Skobeloff had two and a j half months for use against the j Turkomans, and we had six months lh the Afghan war. A three months' supply ^vould mean "1,000,000 tons to tarry, for which something like 500,000 camels would be required, equal to the cargo of forty large steamers." If she could get all these animals, how ftould they be fed among the j mountains and fruitless deserts which I intervene between Afghanistan arid' British India? . j Russia has no intention of invading India at present; she is too much occupied with her railway to Port Arthur through the Gobi Desert, that will take years yet.
