In Pall Mall Gazette. DUpated 'Ilaaora. History being but a continuous suc cession of repetitions, we do not have to search far in the past to find a dis pute regarding the award of honorL for a naval battle which bears an in teresting if not a very close resem blance to the contemporary controver sy concerning Schley and Sampson. It stands out as one of the picturesque In cidents of the war between the states, and Farragut is the central figure. After the capture of New Orleans by the fleet of that famous admiral he sent the report of hi3 operations to Washington by the band of Captain Theodoras Bailey. The captain, in nocent of the contents of the report which he bore from his commander, was eagerly welcomed at the capital, and in the presence of Senator Grimes of Iowa was asked by the secretary of the navy to tell the story of the fall of the Crescent City. When Bailey had finished Grimes exclaimed: "Come with. me. The account of this great battle must be told on the floor of the senate." In the senate chamber CapL Bailey was greeted with emotional cordial ity, and members of the house hurried over to listen to his recital of the im posing and stirring events, in which he had taken an important part, lead ing, as he did, the first division up the river even in advance of FarraguL At the conclusion of his narrative the representatives returned t o their chamber with the impulse to give thanks of congress to both Bailey and Farragut, while Senator Grimss in stantly arose in the senate for the same purpose. But before the motion was made Secretary Welles had read Farragut's report, which did not refer to Bailey is' having led the way, and Indeed represented the fleet as ascending the river in two columns abreast, himself at the head of one of these. Welles hastened a warning to Grimes, and the senator, in the midst of bis'eulo gium, was obliged to call a halt on the enthusiasm which was sweeping the two houses along. He explained the matter as well as he could to Capt. Bailey, who still sat In the chamber, but naturally that officer went forth filled with humiliation. Afterward Farragut alone received the vote of thanks for the victory, and it was seven years later, and after much correspondence between him and Bailey, that he was brought to see the error which he bad committed by inclosing in his report a sketch of the movements as lje had originally planned them, but which had been rendered vitally incorrect by a subse quent change In his plans. It was then that he wrote to his wounded subordinate: "My examination of the printed diagram has fully satisfied me of the justice of your appeal. I shall therefore forward to the department a correct sketch of the final attack as we passed up the river. Chance Meeting la Itatlle. An old soldier once started can reel them off by the yard. Here is one of their stories: "During Stonewall Jackson's first valley campaign, and the day before the battle of Cross Keys, I was standing," said an ex-Confederate officer, "with several other officers of Elwell's division under the shade of a clump of trees in an old field over looking a deep cut in the road through -which the troops were marching. Sud denly I observed Maj. Bob Wheat, the famous commander of Wheat's bat talion of Dick Taylor's Louisiana "brigade, looking directly forward at a lot of Federal prisoners approaching under guard. Wheat was a most magnificent specimen of manhood, and, guided by his intense gaze, I soon singled out among the prisoners the object of it, a man of like proportions liimself. In a moment more Wheat "had rushed down the bank with oat stretched arms, exclaiming: " 'Oh, yes, I thought that was you giving us so much trouble." "The prisoner opened wide his arms nnd rushed to meet Wheat in an em brace which showed to us onlookers b.ow tender must have been their rela tions in the past and how great their friendship still. After a long embrace Wheat told his friend to march on to Richmond and he would see that he was well cared for and soon exchang ed. Then, turning to us. Wheat ex plained that the Federal officer was Col. Windham, an Englishman, who had served with him on Gen. Abn eana's staff in the Garibaldian strug gle for Italian freedom." Fereetoa Africa a Dwarfa. Henry U. Stsnley, in describing his Journey through the forests of Africa,, says that the most formidable foes he encountered, those that caused the greatest loss of life to his caravan and came nearest to defeating bis expedi tion, were the Wambutti dwarfs. These diminutive men had only lit tle bows and arrows for weapons, so small that they looked like children's playthings; but upon the tip of each tiny arrow was a drop of poison which would kill sn elephant or a man as surely and quickly as a rifle. Their defense was by means of poison and traps.' They wonld steal through the dense forest, and waiting in ambnsh. let fly their arrow liaPora ifcav .ttii,i t. tt. csversa. Taty ds. tittaea and eafc j fully covered them over with sticks and leaves. They fixed spikes In the ground and tipped them with poison. Into these ditches and on these spikes man and beasts would fall or step to their death. One of- the strangest things about it was that their poison was mixed with honey. The account of. these small people and their successful warfare influences one to remember the small enemies we all are apt to -encounter in habits,seem Ingly harmless, but dangerous, to wel fate and happiness. Whe Jfapoleon Slept la Teter'a Bee. Peter the Great hated Moscow, and; aboVe all, that stronghold of Oriental intrigue and, moral darkness, the Kremlin. If I remember right, says a writer in the Louisville Courier-Journal, he never inhabited the palace within Its walls after he was a child. The old palace is a network of incred ibly small, low, ill-ventilated rooms. some little bigger than closets, paint ed in greens. blue3 and reds, after the Swedish fashion: rooms which seem, even today, to reek of plots, intrigue and murder. Napoleon, always a trifle theatrical, insisted on sleeping in the bed of Peter the Great when he occupied the Krem lin in 1812. The bed of the boy Peter fitted the hero of Austerlitz to a nicety. It Is a very abbreviated couch. In the very heart of this Oriental palace, with no window which gives on the outer day and open air, is the tcrem, or women's quarters. The ladies, even the Tsaritza and the sisters of the Tsar, were only permit led to look down into the hall of coro nation through a carved wooden lat tice, just as ladies do in the East When Peter mounted the throne of the Tsars, the women of Russia were Ori entals, imprisoned more rigorously than the ladies of Constantinople to day. A Fatuous Dattle. A traveler in England asked a cer tain waiter if be could direct him to the field where the great Tewksbury battle was fought. "Certainly, sir," said the waiter, "and as business is slack I will show you myself." As they crossed the bridge the visi tor expressed his surprise and pleas ure to find his companion so familiar with such a battle, "for." said he, "the battle was fought four hundred years ago." "Four .hundred years ago, sir!" said the waiter. "Bless you, no! I don't believe It's ten." "I think you'll find I'm right," said the traveler. "I reckon I ought to know, for I was there." was the reply. "You were there!" "Yes, 8"ir, I were! There's only one battle of Tewksbury as ever I heard on. and that's the great fight between Conky Jim and Porky Pete!" Will Taint Eiffel Tower. The aesthetes want the Eiffel towei pulled down. They say it is a huge, ugly scaffold. The plea was put in when the plans for the exposition of 1900 was first discussed. Unfortu nately for them it cannot come down; it is leased to a company whose con tract runs for twenty years from the date of building a good many years yet to come. This was the arrange ment to reimburse M. Eiffel. The only thing, therefore, that the commission could do fcr the aesthetes was to study some means to make the tower more agreeable to their eyes. Two years they have cogitated and have hit upon an idea. They are going to paint the tower from the red-brown it is to silver-white. This is not the small change it may seem, either mechanic ally, since it will take fifty men two mouths with 50,000 kilogrammes of paint and the operation must be re peated a second time, or aesthetically, for instead of, as now, seeming to rise from the earth, it will appear rather to descend from the ether regions. Lighted at night its whole length with streaming lines of light, it will look like some great ladder let down from heaven. The aesthetic Jacobs on the ground will, therefore, have whereon to give their imaginations full play. However the aesthetes may grumble, Parisians would certainly miss the great candle that lights them democrat ically, one and all, to bed; that sways its head in the clouds it is said to sway three yards and more out of the perpendicular a monument to French science. It is another matter what the thoughts may be of the man that built it, whose name is constantly by its means on the lips of Parisians, while he himself, by an irony of fate, seems forgotten. M. Eiffel, since the Panama affair which involved him, is heard of no more. Up in the top of the tower he has some private rooms, where dur ing the Panama trials the wags pro posed that he be imprisoned. Has he taken refuge there to expiate his faults or to ruminate on the ingratitude of his fellow-men' RELATING TO HEALTH. The muscles of the human body ex ert a force of 534 pounds. The quan tity of pure water which blood con tains in its natural state is very great; it amounts to almost spvpn.ni?ittie The blood is a fifth of the weight of the body. A man is taller in the morn ing than at night to the extent of half an inch or more, owing to the relaxa tion of the cartilages. The human brain is the twenty-eighth part of the body, but in the horse the brain is not more than the four-hundredth. An observant critic Is authority for the statement that the after-dinner speaker must either restrict himself to a few simple dishes, and' these very sparsely partaken of. or run the risk of a violent attack of indigestion with possible serious consequences. He says that ail good after-dinner speakers are dyspeptics, and attributes much of this state of things to the effect of the nervous strain incident to the prepara tion for the speech to come. Instead of enjoying his meal, the orator is full or anxiety as to the success of his ad dress. The vital force ordinarily used by the digestive apparatus is diverted to the brain, leaving little, if any, to carry on the work of digestion and assimilation. A medical scientist is authority for the statement that children and old" people especially -suffer from a lack of lime in the system. Persons who hab itually drink soft water, while thev may enjoy immunity from certain of the ills of life, expose themselves to others perhaps quite as much to be avoided. Hard water helps the teeth and the bones by furnishing lime, which is necessary to health, growth and development. Old persons who drink but little lose- their teeth more quickly than those who take a reason able amount of drinking water. Lime or food products In which it abounds should be part of the regular supply furnished to the system. One of the mes: valuable vegetables for this pur- ric !s the yeliaw turnip or rutsbscs, ICMa tha Sera Balk Ne dairyman should breed his cows to a scrub bull, if it be possible to get the services of a pure bred ani mal of a dairy type Neither should a man that is trying to build up a dairy herd breed his cows to a bull of a beef strain. This is perhaps more commonly the error than that of breed ing to a pronounced scrub. We Have known a Shorthorn bull kept in. a neighborhood where milk dairies were plentiful and to receive the patronage of most, if not all, of the milkmen, notwithstanding the fact that there was a first-class Jersey bull in the im mediate vicinity. The cause for that was that the services of the Jersey bull were two or three dollars higher than those of the Shorthorn bull. Yet the men that were patronizing the Shorthorn bull expected to get some thing wonderful in the way of milkers. Some of them were quite surprised to find, when such calves came to the point of giving milk, they in no wise kept pace with the expectations that had been raised by the standards set by their mothers. They were good for "beefers," it Is true, and the butchers often cast longing eyes at them, but as milkers they were failures. Yet that fact did not seem to impress the dairymen to any great extent. They seemed to think that getting' a good milker was a matter of chance anyway. There is some difference between the fees charged for the services of the right kind of a bull and the services of the wrong kind of a bull, but tho dif ference in fees in no wise keeps pace with the difference in the value of the product as milkers. The scrub bull is a good thing to ignore, and next to him the bull of a beef breed, when It comes to a question of raising dairy cows. Every farmer should be will ing to pay a good price for the serv ices of a good bull, for only in that way can a man be induced to invest money in an animal of that charac ter. The man that purchases a bull for neighborhood use must charge a good price, for he knows that he has got to get back his whole purchase price plus a fair profit for the use of the money and for labor, in a very few years. He also takes the risk of accidents and diseases. Dairymen should encourage the keeping of first class bulls by giving a liberal fee for their services. Front Lies In Pare Bred Cattle. The Journal has said that the de mand for the best classes of cattle has kept their prices well sustained, and perhaps this is always true, says Texas Stock and Farm Journal. There are several reasons why it pays the best to produce the best. One of these Is the condition presented by the market today, and, it might be said, presented always, that is, that the supply of animals of the really choice quality is so limited that they are put on a market where practically they are without competition. Choice cattle are now selling as high as at any time during the year, but their number is small. On the Chicago market of Sept 21 the cattle receipts are reported at 18.400. Of this number, 17 head were good enough to bring $5.85 per 100 pounds. Only 1G head brought $5.70, and only 295 others commanded over $5.50. It is needless to say that these cattle were ripened for market at a cost far below most of the fed cattle that sold for much less. The differ ence lay mostly in the quality at tho very beginning. Those that command ed the highest price were of a beet breed, early maturers, of a type that not only takes on more flesh in pro portion to the feed consumed than is possible to inferior animals, even with the most scientific feeding, but that developed largely in proportion to the entire carcass those parts that supply the choicest cuts to the butcher. The time will come, and it is not far off, when men of moderate means cannot afford to raise scrub cattle, even up on the range, for the discrimination against them continually grows stronger. I'archfulnc Good Fowls. This is the time of year to purchase "owls for next year's laying. It is the time of year when on every farm more or less stock will be sold off. It is true that on many farms the stock to be sold will be that least adapted to fu ture operations, but there are always many exceptions. Here and there are farms where the surplus must be sold eff whether that surplus be good or bad in quality. Among the marketable product will be found many very good birds that may be bought at a very reasonable price. Agree to pay so much per bird and if need be add a lit tle to the price for the privilege of go ing through the flock and picking out the best birds. Very often excellent specimens may be obtained in that way. Pick out birds with good combs, bright eyes, clear mouths, and smooth legs. Be sure that no contagious dis ease prevails in the flock. This fall purchasing is economical and a help to both the buyer and seller. If a man leally needs a bird to put with his lay ing Tlcck, the money he pays for a healthy bird this fall will be a good in vestment. It never pays to wait for a bird to batch and mature if we have use for her and the money with which to buy, for the reason that a fowl that Is good for anything will have paid for herself before a half year has pass ed. Stimulating Honesty. The way to avoid leading farcers .nto temptation in the matter of wear ing milk is to use the Babcock test in buying milk. It is the only honest way. by which we mean that it is the only way in which every man will get his own. We venture the assertion with the utmost confidence that if the test was adopted and every man's test put In plain sight in the creamery where the farmers could see it, many of the cows in that creamery would at once bco tbe necessity of furnishing milk richer in butter fat. The reason that would begin the reform 13 not that watering milk is universal, or even common, but because the farmer would so handle his cows in the way of feed, and particularly in the way of milk ing, as to put more butter fat into the milk. Freedom from excitement and proper care, we think, would at once put mere butter fat into the milk. Organization Among Farmers There is a power in organization which no single individual possesses and no amount of isolated individuals can pos sess, the age in which we live has produced them in every branch of in dustry, until it is now recognized a3 -the only road to success. This power, if used in a strictly business-like man ner, seeks justice to all, oppression to none. It does not mean monopoly and extortion. It does not mean that the most ignorant member may have all the benefits possessed by the most In telligent, and that the most intelligent must not suffer through tho unbusi nesslike methods of the most ignor antA.
