There is one improvement to be uoteo however, as under the old plan the bait was sure to give out sooner or later, depending on the size of t lie bottle and the ardor of the fisherman.

'Iid you ever hear how General Jeff. Thompson once evaded an order in the Held and didn't fret caught at It?" asked an old Missuurian of a St Louis Itepublir man. '-It happened, I think, in the t-unnuerof 1HG1, tne year when Gen. l'ri e and fien. A. J. Smith were chasing each other up and down the State. f!cn. Thompson, with a section of Price's army, swept across the central Missouri prairies, and on one hot. August day the citi zens of Sedaliasaw his men approach ing the town in a ierfect cloud of dust "Sedalia was garrisoned by a body Df Home Guards under the command jt Colonel William Bloss and Major William Gentry, and so, when ths alarm bell sounded, the little band hurried to the trenches and prepared for defense Thompson saw the handful of citizens and unlimbered his guns. An apparently lleree can nonade was kept up for half an hour, during which t'me one man was Killed, and then the Home Guards capitulated and Thompson rode into town. I remember the terrible time he had that day endeavorir.g to con trol his rough riders, who seemed bent on making everything contra band, but he Anally made them un derstand his imperative orders and quiet was soon restored, but not until every citizen of lighting age had been placed under arre-t and guard. 'Well, it leaked out before night that Thompson had orders to burn the railroad depot. It was a great wooden structure, against which a large number of the store buildings backed, and to burn the depot was to burn the town. The General was a fipectacular soldier as well as a brave tighter and his picturesque dress showed him to be somewhat of a gal lant knight. Hence the ladies ot Se dalia banded themselves together to the number of lift,,' and waited upon him with a prayer not to destroy the depot and the town. He treated the delegation with conspicuous courtesy, and finally told the ladies that a soldier must obey orders, but he felt free to notify them that he would set Hre to the depot at 5 o'clock on the following morning, and he hinted to them that if the old barn happened to be green and didn't burn up the fault would be theirs. They took thc hint. Promptly at " o'clock a bucket brigade of ladies was In line at the depot The soldiers started the fire, the General gave his orders for the army to move on, and the ladies waited until the commander had disappeared and then promptly extinguished the flames amid the joy ous shouts of the soldiers," Thackeray's l't ol American Money. Thackeray at that time (1851), was .inly beginning to earn large sums by liis writings, and he was no longer in those straitened circumstances which, with such inimitable humor he alluded to in "The Carmen Lilliense," in which he tells how "Titmarsh was in pawn at Lille," and how he was rescued from the duresse of a sus picious landlord by a "10-pound note from grand mamma?" But it was not until he visited the Unitea States Dti a lecturing tour that he became really affluent I rememberat a New Kngland Society dinner once, held at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, 'ew York, Hitting next to the most amiable and popular American divine, the Rev. Dr. Bellows, who had been one of Thackeray's most intimate friends during his stay in America, and had even, If I remember aright, given him the use of his church as a lecture room. He described to me the al most boyish delight with which Thackeray told him on his return from New Orleans of the great finan cial success with which he had met in the States. "Parson," these were his words repeated to me by Dr. Bel lows, "it's come at last. I have made a pot of money." And if a man de served to win a crock of gold, William Makepeace Thackeray was the man In question. The Arizona Deserts. The processor reclaiming the Ari zona desert goes on apace. During recent years many Irrigation projects have been put on a working basis and districts va.yingfromafew thousands to hundreds of thousands of acres ate Icing rapidly brought into agricul tural., and horticultural use. The greatest project of this character yet undertaken was practically bc-jun a few days ago and plans for one still greater are announced. For the first contracts have been placed involving an expenditure of more than $2,000, 000 for the construction of reservoirs and canals to utilize water from the Gila River in reclaiming 300, 000 acres of land, which will be first-class fruit and vine land. The dam will be one of the largest in the country and seventy-two miles of canals are to be constructed. The second project contemplates the reclamation of 400, 000 acres of now arid land, with water taken from the Rio Verde, stored in three immense reservoirs, and distributed bv 150 miles of canals. The land and the canal routes have teen surveyed and the $2,500,000 necessary to undertake the work sub scribed. Much of the land will make good orange growing land. New York Sun. J)ono tnr Dose. In Bcloochistan, when the physi cian gives a dose, he is expected to partake of a similar one himself, as a guarantee of his good faith. Should the patient die under his hands, the relatives, though they do not exercise it in all circumstances, have the right of putting him to death, unless a special agreement has been made freeing him from all responsibility as to consequences; while, if they should decide upon Immolating him, ho has no reasonable ground tor complaint, bat is expected to submit to his fate ili:e a mail. Why not, indeed? When the Royal Baking Powder makes finer and more wholesome food at a less cost, which every housekeeper familiar with it will affirm, why not discard altogether the old fashioned methods of soda and sour milk, or home-made mixture of cream of tartar and soda, or the cheaper and inferior baking pow ders, and use it exclusively ? An Incorrigible. A man came one day to tlie late earl of Shaftsbury, a philanthropist, al though a nobleman, bringing a note from the governor of Manchester jail, saying that the bearer was incorrigible, and had spent twenty years in prison. Shaftsbury talked kindly to the fellow and then said: "John Spiers, shall I make a man of you?,' "Yer can try, but yer can't do it," was the discouraging reply. Finally he agreed to enter a reform atory where the discipline was strict, but kind. After a few days the earl called and said: "Well" John Spiers, shall we go on?" 'Yes," replied he, but you've tackled a tough job." "By God's help I'll go on, and I'll succeed to," responded the earl. At the end of two years this man was met by a friend of Shaftsbury. He was well-clad, healthy and held a good po i Ion in London. "Ah," said he, "it was the earl's kind words did it. That was a new way. I never had a kind word or a loving look , iven me in my life before, or I might have acted very differently." What a testimony! What a salva tion! About Ancestors. William S. Walsh writes in the New York World: A family like a race or nation, does indeed bud flower, and run to seed, and the seed must be trans planted to new soli in order to but and (lower again. Now, a part of the fool ish ancestor worship of the past re sulted in the creation of aristocracies built on the foundation of an illustri ous ancestor. We are getting wiser and better. We are putting our aristocracies closer to the primal source. We are learning no longer to respect a man because his ancestor was better than himself, but because he himself, is an ancestor. The farce of royalty is played out; the farce of rank and caste is in a moribund condition. All men will soon learn to laugh at the claims of long descent. Many men laugh at them now. And this in itself is an im mense step in advance. Snobbery, vulgarity, pretension' tltese hideous traits will soon be of the past Our gandchildren freed from the absurd ideas, the absurd restriction of semi-savage inception, will be larger, more generous, more tolerant better, iu short, than ourselves. Fresh and vigorous blood will intermix with the worn-out descendants of great men, and in due time greater men from the stock will be born to the future. Every succeeding age sees the abandonment of some superstition which has checked the piogress and developmept of the race in the past. World's Fair Number.

Why Married womesi Were Admitted. An ancient legend tells us that the angel on guard at the door of heaven was once asked by an inquisitive passer if more married or single women passed through. "More married ones," he promptly answered. "Indeed," said the questioner, who was a man, and who immediately be gan to plume himself. "Their hus band's virtues, of course, admitted them. That was right. The stronger should aid the weaker." "Xo." replied the angeL "that is not the reason." 'Then what is it?" "AVell, if you must know," said the angel confidentially, "we pass them first on their own merits; lots of 'em get through that way. Then when we can't find any other recommendation for a married women, it is written against her name. "These are they which have come out to great tribula tion,' and the gates fly open." Eleanor Kirk s Idea. A man named John Pitt escaped from the jail at Lenoir, North Caro lina. Twenty-four hours later he re turned and surrendered himself. He lost his way in the woods and got very badly scared, and concluded that ho would be very much safer and more comfortable in jail.
