Extracts From u Visitors Letter.

Judge w. II. Savage, of Kentucky, and
one of the most prominent and influential
men of his section, after making an extensive
tour through Texas, wrote long letter re-.
lating thereto to the Mount Sterling Demo-
crat, from which we clip the following ex-
tracts "The country over which we travelled
is by no means a paradise-we found, as in
most other states, good deal of rough
country-but much very rich land, and we
are very much surprised that SO many men
of small means remain in Kentucky
scarcely able to keep soul and body together,
when they can 60 to Texas, purchase large
farms, and locate themselves comfortably for
life" He has this to say Of Dallas and
Sherman:
Dallas and Sherman are both very fine
towns, the former taking the prestige. Some
houses in Dallas cell as high as million
dollars worth per annum. We met here our
old friend Samuel II. holland, of Nicholas

state can take prise, tor it is an undertaking
an enterprise, q festivity, in which and to
which our German fellow citizens have given
and are giving their whole souls. 1t will be
an occasion of music, 40 event to inspire and
to encourage musical talent and genius all
over the state. 1t is state affair, not a
local episode, for from Austin there will be
two singing societies, from Boerne, one;
Brenham one; BellviIle one; Coulfort one;
Dallss two; SchulenbuIg one; Frelsburg one;
Galveston two; Houston one; High Hill one;
Hortontown one; La Grange one; New

handsome hall has been erected for the
singers and the listeners. The first Sanger
fest in the state was held in New Brauntels
in 1851, and every two years afterwards they
followed, held in different places until the
late civil war began, when there was an
interregnum during its period. After the
war it was renewed and has been kept up
ever since until now, the 18th, which is to be
held in Galveston. The next one, two
years hence. will be held in Dallas.
There will be three hundred voices in grand
chorus at Galveston, and the orchestra of
forty pieces ba, been engaged from the

Why is it that our American friends in

apples very good food. They are in
digestible as compared with other fruits.
The fiber is apt to be woody and to ag-
gravate dyspeptic conditions. Bananas,
except in peculiar conditions which are
entirely personal, may be eaten with

Professor Ira Remson, of the Johns
Hopkins university, has been investi-
eating the effect of cast-iron stoves on
health-whether the stoves do or do
not allow deleterious gases to escape.
The verdict is in favor of the stoves.
Professor Remsen finds that carbonic
oxide-the gas alleged to be so dele
terious-does not pass through red-hot
cast-iron even of the thickness of an
eighth of an inch. Moreover, a careful
examination did not in any one instance
detect any deleterious gas given out by
a we'll constructed furnace. Where
carbonic oxide gas is found, its presence,
it is declared, is not due to its passing
through cast-iron in any appreciable
quantity.

Among the royal mummies the oldes
is King Raakenen, one Of the latest
monarchs Of the seventeenth dynasty.
According TO Marlette, this dynasty
ended b. O. 1903. As Raskenen was
not the last Of this line, we shall not be
far out Of the way in saying that his
mummy, with its fine linen shroud and
its three carved cases fitting together
like nest of boxes,is about 3,7O0 years
old. Four hundred years before the
Israelites crossed the Red sea this mon
arch ruled in Thebes. Nearly all that
we know of the doings of humanity
upon the earth has taken place since he
was oiled and perfumed and laid away
in his painted boxes. Yet we. can touch
his hands to-day and look into his face
and read his history written all over his
coffin. Ne1C York Tribune.

Many years ago, while Edwin Forrest
was playing an engagement in Western
theater, White Cloud and a number Of
other Indian chiefs were on their return
from Washington. Stopping in the
town over night, they were conducted
to the theater to see the great American
tragedian. Mr.. Forrest was then in the
prime of life, his voice being up to the
maximum of stentor. The play on
that evening was Metamora," which is
now in the possession of John McCul-
Tough. White Cloud aud his band of
warriors were accommodated with seats
in a stage box. The theater was crowded,
and it was very evident that the audi
tors were anxious to observe what effect
the performance would have on the
simon-pure children of the forrest.
The play proceeded, and although the
Indians could not understand single
word that was said, yet they appeared
to be much interested, occasionally
giving to one another satisfactory
grunt. After awhile they became
rather uneasy, which seemed to be
simultaneous among them all. This
was more apparent when the Indian
war-whoop came from behind the scenes,
The eyes of the audience were upon
White Cloud, who two or three
ines grasped the tomahawk in
his belt. The other warriors
did so likewise. The party were
getting more excited as the play
proceeded. They looked at each other
with anxiety; their eyes indexed the
fact that their "souls were in armc,"
Presently Metamora, with uplifted toma-
hawk, rushed upon the stage, and when
he gave that war.whoop, which none but
Forrest could do, the Indians could
remain in their seats no longer. Forrest
gave a second and shrill whoop, where
upon White Cloud aud his band, join
ing in full chorus, sprang upon the
stage, and, brandishing their toma-
hawks and glittering knives, rushed to-
ward Metamora. Forrest was dumb
founded for moment, but he soon took
in the situation, and finding that the
real Indians were on his side, ready to
do or die in his behalf, he felt that he
had achieved one of his greatest tri-
umphs in the profession he so much
loved during his eventful life. In de-
failing this anecdote Forrest said that
he was not really aware at the time of
the performance that he was using an
exact "whoop" for reinforcements, but
the wild Indians understood it and re-
sponded as followers of Metamora. The
house was thrown into the widest ex-
citement, which soon cooled down, with
the general belief that it was the best
performance and most effective rendi-
tion of the Indian play ever made by
the distinguished actor.

The Camel and the Needles Eye.

The passage from the New Testa-
ment, at is easier for camel" etc.,
has perplexed many good men who
have read it literally.
In oriental cities there are in the
large gates small and very low aper-
lures. called metaphorically needles
eyes" just as we talk of windows on
ship-boa1d as "bull's eyes," These en-
frances are too narrow for camel to
pass through them in the ordinary
manner, or even if loaded. When a
loaded camel has to pass through one
of these entrances it kneels down, its
load is removed and then it shuffles
through on its knees.
Yesterday" writes Lady Duff Cor
don from Cairo, "I saw a camel go
through the eye of needle, that is, the
low, arched door of an inclosure. He
must kneel and bow his head to creep
through; and thus the rich man mus
humble himself"

It is recorded of Chinese emperor
that on being apprised of his enemies
having raised an insurrection in one of
the distant provinces, he said to his Off
GERS, "Come, follow me, and we will
quickly destroy them" He marched
forward, and the rebels submitted
upon his approach. All now thought
that he would take the most signal re-
venge, but were surprised to see the
captives treated with mildness and hu-
manity. "How !" cried the first min
lister; lis this the manner in which you
fulfill your promise? Your royal word
was given that your enemies should be
destroy yed, and behold ! you have par
doned them all, and even caress some of
them." 81 promised" replied the en-
peror, with a generous air, "to destroy

for see, they are enemies no longer-I
have made friends of them"

Working Up business.

A solemn-looking man recently walked
into the office of the Petaluma Peaoine,
and handed paper over to the adver-
tising clerk and said: "I will pay you
your top advertising rates to have
that printed in your Answers to Cor
respondents column every other week
during the summer"
The item read:

to bale out a boat while sailing is to
pull out the plug in the bottom"
I'm afraid we can't do it," said the
clerk, regretfully; upon which the SOL
emn party folded up the paper and
walked out with deep sigh.
"Who is that?" asked the editor,
looking up.
