A MAMMOTH SQUASH.
Canadians fool that the Yankees are
proverbially boastful of having about
the biggest of everything, but they
smile over the fact that it remained
for Mr. William Warnock, of (Jodorieh,
Ontario, to raise the largest squash
ever grown. This mammoth squash
weighed 40-1 pounds, and, for all Mr.
Warnock had previously raised several
squash wonders, it beat his record by
fourteen and a half pounds. In raising
huge squashes Mr. Warnock uses common
sense. He does not treat them
like babies and feed them milk and
? other things, but he believes that the
only thing that will increase the size

of the fruit must come through the
channels of nature out of the vine, and
the vine must get its support from the
natural roots. Thus squash raising is
much like tie development of a child.
To make a noble man or woman, the
foundation must be watched. It must
' be thoroughly substantial in every way.
After a mistake has been made, followed
by a stunting or false growth,
no amount of artificial feeding or building
up will equal the work of nature.
Squashes and children must be fed
from the "roots," so to speak.?Book

FEDERAL PALACE. C
Fitzhujch Lee's Eulogy of Lincoln.
General Fitzhugh Lee's eulogistic references
to Lincoln in liis recent address
before the joint session of the
New York Legislature are another evidence
that the passions and prejudices
of the Cixil War are forever buried
in the United States. No more striking
tribute was ever paid to the martyr
President than was passed upon him
by this former eminent Confederate
soldier. It recalls the eulogy paid to
Sumner, just after his death by Sen

aim of sportsmen, says the New York ;
Pfess, have long been familiar to vis-,
itors to Coney Island and other similar
resorts. Clarence Mackay has con- !
structeu, hi the wildest part of his big i
estate, a regular railway to furnish i
him the same sport on a scale and in a '
manner that is absolutely true to na-;
ture.
The railway, which runs in an irregu- ;
Iar ellipse, and is operated by elec-j
tricity, is a mile long and goes winding
in nml nnt !mMTi?r the woods mul broken i
ground with all the seeming irresponsibility
of a wild animal. The wild aniVwfCrlT'1

mal is provided in the shape of a lifesize
deer, mounted on a small bogie
truck. At a speed which can be regulated
at any pace up to ten or twelve
miles an hour the deer is carried
through the woods, and as it appears
at the different openings that have
been among the trees along the route
of the railway Mr. Mackay and his
sporting friends get a chance for just
such a quick shot as the hunter in the
Maine woods has to rely on to fill his
bag.
At the end of the run the truck
passes over an automatic switch which
shuts off the current,- and the deer
comes to a standstill in a sheltered
pit, where a marker is posted. He
notes the places where the deer has
been hit, telephones, by means of a
special wire laid down for the purpose,
the results of his aim to the man with
the gun, and then, as soon as he has
pasted a piece of canvas or brown
paper over the wounds that have been
made, is ready to cart the deer off
again to run the gantlet of the marksmen
a second or a third time.
The deer itself is made and mounted
with such skill that anyone not in the
secret inevitably would believe it was
a real" live animal. The illusion is
helped by the fact that it never comes
nearer the guns than 100 yards, and
not only does it pass so quickly that
it is impossible to get more than a
hurried glance at it, but by an ingenious
mechanism the motions of a
galloping deer are reproduced exactly.
At present Mr. Mackay has only the
single "deer" on his estate, but with the

DISLIKES SHIRTS.
A "Child" of Nature and Some of His
Idiosyncrasies.
Convinced of the futility of life as it '
is lived by the average sojourer in i
this vale cf tears and clothes, E. W. i
Darling, who abhors a shirt, consents !
to wear a coat and knee breeches i
when on drc-ss parade, but usually at- ?
tires himself in nothing but a fig leaf j
clout ,has declared his intentions of j
returning to the aboriginal existence.
The very picture of Adam, Mr.
Darling struck town yesterday afternoon
without hat, shirt, shoes or
stockings, en route for Ceylon, and,
fearful of being misunderstood, volun
tered an explanation as to his appearance,
manner of life and plans for the
future. Mr. Darling believes that with
proper living there is no .limit to exis- j
tence, and he is out for a prolonged i
stay on this mundane sphere. The ,
first article of his creed is to go as i
nearly naked as the law will allow. I
Born in Kansas, reared in Ontario, I
Can., the Darlings emigrated to Port- |
land, Ore. In 1899 E. W. Darling, the ;
son, came south and matriculated at j
the Leland Stanford, Jr., University, j
Here an elective course, embracing j
studies kindred to medical science, |
was pursued. While studying at i
Stanford the desire to get nearer to ;
nature's heart grew upon Darling, and j
in the seclusion of his own home he :
practiced simplicity in dress, often j
taking to the woods, where, onob- j
served, he may be studied in the j
nude.
Leaving Stanford last May, Darling j
determined upon devoting his life to |
teaching and living his belief. Con- !
sequently, without scrip or purse, hat- '
less, shoeless and as scantily clad as :
decency would permit, Darling start- j
ed out in a search of a congenial en- j
viror.ment. One of the tenets of his j
belief is that the only healthful diet j
is of fruit and nuts. So his desire j
has been to be occupied where the i
fruit was of the best. During the ;
summer he has worked in the drying ;
establishments of the foothill region,
near Los Angele3, but his ideal has i
not been reached. On Tuesday this j
child of nature will start for Ceylon, I
where he hopes to find conditions to ;
his liking. All he wants is solitude, j
plenty of fruit, floods of sunshine and j
and the privilege of dressing as do j
the Indians, the only garment being
the clout.
As for marriage, Daring has forever
forsworn the opposite sex, and
will endeavor to surround himself
with a company of congenial spirits
'who take rhe same view of life as
he does. Darling ihiiiks there are I
too many people in existence now, j
and could his ideas be carried put j
people would live forever; hence no i
occasion for marriage.
Darling is the picture of health, evi- I
dently enjoys his manner of life, and
his face lights up with joyful anticipation
as he describes the future j
awaiting those following in his (bare) j
footsteps.?Los Angeles Times.
He Was Attached to It.

said. Dleasantiy. when he had felt Gil
bert's pulse, "let me see your tongue." j
Gilbert put out the tip of his tongue, j
"No, no," said the doctor, "put it i

WHERE HEALTH IS FASHIONABLE j
Itt Ja;>an All Clagfle* Unceasingly Prac- j
tice Body Training.
Just now, while the military prowess '
.ml gen em 1 staying power of the Jap- j
anese are claiming the attention and
ivsr.ect of the civilized world, it is of
I great interest to note the claims made,
by those who know best, as their advanced
attitude toward the whole question
of hygiene and physical development.
We of the West are all too apt
to take it for granted that we stand
in the advanced guard of all evolution,
and it has become the custom of late
years to enlighten the laity by word
.....1 ? ~*1, +V.r.;v. T
iiitu iitrii uij iijch , uui.v iw iucu [iuj siques.
Health is the fashion, and its
rules are published broadcast. Now
we are told that in Japan health is
not only the fashion?but the universal
habit. The Japanese people not only
know the rules that govern it, but all
classes untiringly practice them.
They are the same old rules?we have
them all at our tongues' ends?breathe
deeply and slowly of fresh air, bathe
regularly, eat moderately, drink plenty
of fresh water. "We all knew them, we
all respect them, but most of us ignore
them, except by fits and starts.
With the Japanese the case is different.
They are naturally an abstemious
people and are not great meat-eaters.
They have always laid great stress on
the value of large quantities of pure
water to flush the system and keep the
kidneys in good condition, and they
are probably the most inveterate bathers
in the world. As to their muscular
development and control, they are fa!
mous, and last, but not least, they
place great weight on the importance
of cultivating and practicing all the
time the fundamental principles of hygiene.
They are to-day pitted against a huge
and powerful nation, and are winning
victory after victory over their adversaries,
not because they outnumber
them, not because they are bigger,
but largely because their bodies are
trained to endurance and their minds
to patience and foresight.
The Western nations are beginning
to learn the lesson they teach?to prac- |
Hpa with natient nersistence those
laws of health that have been taught
so often. The jiu-jitsu, the system of
body training practiced by the Japanese
for centuries, is the foundation
of many modern treaties on physical
culture.?Youth's Companion.
America's Fast Kail way Interest.
The main-track mileage of the Du
ted States railways would circle the
earth along the equator eight and a
half times. Their revenue in 1904,
$2,000,000,000, would pay the interestbearing
debt of the United States twice
over, and leave a surplus which would
support the Government of Spain, with
its 18,000,000 inhabitants, for a year.
On the pay rolls of the American railways
there are more men, 1,500,000,
than were in the armies of Grant, Lee
and the rest of the Union and Confederate
commanders at Appomattox, and
six times as many as were enlisted in
the war of 189S against'Spain. The
aggregate aisets of the United States
railwavs, $13,000,000, equals the country's
entire wealth at the time of Lincoln's
election in 2860.
Texas or Illinois has more miles of
railway than Italy, which ranks next
to Germany, Russia, France, AustriaHungary
and Great Britain among European
countries. New York, which
stands below the two States named,
has more miles of railway than spam,
and more than Belgium, the Netherlands
and Switzerland. The revenue
of one of our great railways, the Pennsylvania,
in 190i, $122,000,000, was
larger than that of Belgium, larger
than that of the Netherlands and Sweden-Norway
combined, fifty per cent
greater than that of Mexico or Canada,
and ahead of that of any nation on the
American continent except the United
States and Brazil.?Leslie's Weekly.
Money In Bass.
It was after a rain a few days ago.
Half a dozen persons?old, young and
of both sexes?were waiting at the corner
of Broadway and Spring street,
with transfers in their hands, for their
cars to come along. Hundreds were
passing by every two or three minutes.
Many of these looked at a soiled handkerchief
or rag lying a few feet from j
the curb just west of Broadway. All |
of the six saw it.
Soon a poorly dressed old woman got j
off a Broadway car, took a transfer
from the company's agent and joined
the others on the corner. She saw the
rag, too. With a glance at the others
she took a step or two toward it and
then hesitated. Smiles were on the
faees of those who watched her. Then
compressing her lips she deliberately
walked to the dirty rag, picked it up
and shook it out. One corner of it was
knotted up. The handkerchief?for it
really was such?was small, evidently
a woman's or girl's, and was wet with
rain and sticky with mud. The old
woman untied the knot and displayed
to the gaze of the grinning crowd a dollar
bill, a silver quarter, some dimes,
nickels and pennies.
The smiles disappeared from the
other faces, but the old woman laughed
outright. She had been well paid tor
soiling her hands.
A fatal Snake Encounter.
i A few minutes after killing a large
snake in the yard of his summer resij
dence at Aliquippa, Pa., George Wood,
a school director in the Thirty-first
Ward, died very suddenly of a hemorrhage,
which, it is believed, was
brought on by the excitement. He
reached Aliquippa shortly before C.
o'clock, and on entering the yard of his
summer home was startled to see a
reptile in the path. He killed it and
j continued on his way to the house. He
j plainly showed his excitement, and
! suddenly became ill. He was attacked
by hemorrhages and died before a physician
could be summoned.?Pittsburg
