"Mike" Walsh was a unique charac ter well knowu In New York about 6,'ty years ago.' a man who began life Hi a printer and turned hla attention to politics. lie was devoted to practical joke, and one day curried out an elat oiote and premeditated pleasantry in Hip Assembly Chamber at Albany. Mr. Watson, a member from Albany, i.d red hair, and a very small amount of it; be had been alxtent several day from the Assembly, but now he reap peared wearing a huge blark wig. Ha rose to rend a speech on some ques k)ii before the house, but before he hi'd proceeded far, Mike Walsh sprang up, and shouted, "Mr. Rpenker!" The spenker quietly remarked that i lie gentleman from Albany had the fl ior. "Mr. Kenker," cried Walsh. "I rise to a point of order." Then the speaker asked the gentle Man from Albany to be snted while Uie gentleman from New York should state bis iK)int of order. "Mr. Speaker," said Walsh, "I should like to know by what right Ignorant and stupid bores, not members of this Louse, dare get within the railing or ,hls assembly and attempt to Inflict up on us their stupid speeches!" By this time most of the memliers hegsn to see the drift of the Jokp. The speaker, trying to suppress a smile, said gently: "The chelr Is of the opinion that the member from Albany Is a member." "I tell you." shouted the joker, "that Mr. Watson Is the member from Al bany!" Then, apparently with a sudden thought, he left his place, walked up to Wntson, and stooping down, looked at him searchlngly. He threw up his hands in well-slniulnted amazement. ' It Is." he shouted, "It Is Watson!" Fnrffhiim Sv-cil fi Food, In India and China sorghum seed is tery largely used for human food.

In this country sorghum seed has been mainly i'se-1 as feed for chickens and other farm stn' k. Hut some years ago a ueighlior fanner who grew sorghum r.ivcd some of the seed and had It ground.

It Was Taken frosa tbe haae of a Pil lar aod the Hilar Htill Htood. Samarcan la a great and noble city towards the northwest, inhabited by both Christians and SaraeenB, who are subj,"ct to the great Kaau's nephew, Caldou by name; he In, however, at bit ter enmity with the Kaau. I will tell you of a great marvel that happened at this city. It ia not a great while ago that slga- tay, own brother to the Great Kaan, who was lord of thin country and of many an one besides, became a Chris tian. The Christians rejoiced greatly at this, and they built a great church :n the city, in honor of John the Bap tist; and by his name the church was (alien. Aiui iney iook. a veiy hhk mime which belonged to the Saracens, and placed It as the pedestal of a column In Uie middle of the church, supiKii ting the roof. It came to pass, however, that Slgatay dud. Now the Saracens were full of rancor alsmt that atone that had been theirs, and which had been set up :n the church of the Christians; and when they saw that the I'rlnce was dead. thy r-aid one to another that now was the time to get back their stone, by fair means or by foul. And that they n.l'ht well do, for they were ten linn as many i: ( 'irlsi.a. So t'.iey gc! ! -;i t : . chi.v'.i 1 :ti '. must a :!

And woids ran so high that t lie Piliice heard thereof, and ordered the Chris tians either to arrange to satisfy the Saracens, If It might be, with money, or to give up the stone. And he allowed them three days to do either the one thing or the other. The Karacens would on no account agree to leave the stone where It wa,, and this out of pure despite to the rhr'.s'ians, for tt; y knew well enough that if the stone were stirred the church would come down by the run. So the Chriit'ans were In great trouble and wist not what to do. But they did do the best thing pirssKde; they besought Tesiw Christ that he would cousl !cr their case, so that the holy church should not come to distinction, nor the name of its Patron Saint, John the Bap tist, ne tarnished by Its ruin. And so when the day fixed by the Prince came round, they went to the church lwtirm-H In the morning, anil lo, they found the stone removed from under the column; ihe f'sit of the column was without sup port, and yet It bore tin1 load as stoutly ns lK'l'ore! Between the foot of the col umn and the ground there was a apace of three palms. No the Saracens had away their stone, and mighty little joy withal. It wius a glorious mlrnelo, nay, 't Is so, for the column still so standelh, and will wtandjns long as (iod pleaselh. St. Nicholas, A Iieoparfl Hunt fn Africa. Started out hunting nl 5 o'clock. Come upon a small herd of mswala, followed 'hem carefully, but could not get near enough to have a shot. After an hour I found that I was not alone In being Interested In the mswala. A leopardess luid stepped In between me and the game. When I first saw her she wits crouched like n cat. Then she moved stealthily and quickly toward the game, crept rapidly toward the buck. For about a (jimrter of a mile 1 moved Htenlhtlly and quickly toward the game. I wis then within a short distance of Shetn, and could fain::y heiir the cre-i-tures In among a clump of trees. I wa thinking how best to stalk and g.-; a shot, when the leopardess again ap peared alxjut eight yards from me nn 1 close to the msw ala. She had cleve. lv crept to windward and was now almost within striking distance. She crouched and moved her head slowly from Kid.' to side In order more clearly to see her gam'. To get n better view she slowly raiwed her head and sat on her haunch es. Then flic took n ntlll better view In putting her front paws on a log, which aisi'd her two or three inches higher. Then she showed her head and shoul ders alove the grass, and I succeeded in putting a Snider bullet through her. She was six feet In length. It Is a very rare thl"g to see a leopard at all, and most unusual to see them In the day time. The natives were delighted. I find Ihe killing of tbe leopard raises me to a heroic plane, while, as a matter of fact, the mere killing of the beast was as easy as the shooting of a retriever dog. Century'.

Newspaper readers will rememls'i tbe glowing promisee and high bop-:, which some years ago attended the for mation of a colony of Americans at TopolobamiH), Mex. The place was pic tured as an Eden, anil many peopl -went there expecting a life of ease auo Independence after a few years. Here is what a San Kraucis-o paper baa to say of the colony: Six people destitute and diwouragod people are all that now remain of th. colony of Vermont and Massaehusett people, comprising several huudrt: familh-s, who einigratel some eighi yeara ago, full of dreams of prospec tive wealth and prosperity, to Topolo bampo, on the Mexican count.

Under this head the Youth's Coinpnn Ion recently published an article giving a newspaper report of the opinion said to have been expressed by Mr. Morton. I'nlted States Secretary of Agricul ture, with regard to the magnificent estate of George Vanderbilt at Ash ville, X. ('. In the article was also a slateinent, said to have been made by .Mr. Morton, that the people of Ashe ville do not appreciate the beneficent character of the work done, and think that Mr. Vanderbilt Is "spending enor mous amounts of money to gratify Ids pride and appetite." They "Imagine that It Is all due to selfishness when he Is really working for them." A correspondent writing from Hen derslinville, X. C, declares that what Mr. Morton In reported to have said w'th regard to the people of Asheville is as unjust as it. Is untrue. He says: "The fact Is, we are a domestic peo ple to whom nothing seems more nat ural than that a man should build for himself a beautiful home; it also n."--ordfl with our Ide-ns of the fitness of things that this home should be as com plete na his Intelligence can dictate, and ,ir elegant as his means can command and as his station In life demands. "The writer's business brings him into Intercourse with all classes of peo ple In this locality, and he never heard from any one comment that would justify Mr. Morton's conclusions. On the contrary, Mr. Vanderbilt is regard ed as a benefactor, lie coniinciic 1 this work at a time of groat biMine. r-li-preHtihm; the money expended :;:iv. us from a biwincHS collapse, and gnvi ( niployment to hundreds of worthy p-.i pie, many of whom would otherwkf have suffered for the necessities of life "Mr. Vnnderbllt and the manager of his estate.

It has long been known that beans will rust if they are cultivated while their leaves are wet so that soli will stick to them. Many farmers now be lieve that tho leaves of tne potato, es pecially in the late stage of their growth, are equally liable to be Injured by cultivation! when wet. It Is a good plnn to let the cultivator lie idle In a rainy time anyway. Weeds are killed better while the soil Is dry, while !f cultivated during a rainy spell they are only transplanted and made harder to kill than ever. Thrived on Air.

Tbe aocial features of farm life are not as attractive to tbe young as they hould be. Town people make a study of their aocial life, and they are con stantly working and planning some new feature of pleasure and enjoyment. The parents plan for their children and their children's friends, and they spend both time and money for the advancement of aocial cultuie. Why not incorporate mure of this idea into our farm life? It'a surely worth trying. Rural World. Comfott to Cat forutia.
