Do not think for a single

It does not come that way.
It creeps its way along.
First, you think it is a little

then the fever and the night

The suddenness comes when

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.'

forest, and waiting in ambnsh. let fly

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

all are apt to -encounter in habits,seem

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

than the ladies of Constantinople to

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

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

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

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

produced them in every branch of in

Examination by n male physician is

examination with

This condi

her advice without charge.
