1t is said that the oak is creeping out

Prof. j. A. Harrison, of Virginia,
says that the fertility of the negro dia.
lect is really wonderful, not only in
the ingenious distortion of words, by
which new and startling significance is
given to common English words, but
more especially in the imitation of ami.
NAL utterances. 1t is an ear language
altogether. The only wonder is how
the negro could have so truly caught
the swiftly uttered sounds about him.
a natural bow that is on exhibition
at the Brownsville (Ore.) post-office is
described by the San Francisco Erann-
fner. 1t is vine maple about eight
feet in length, has the curves of an
ordinary Indian bow, and, strange to
say, is already strung with slender
limb that grows out of one end into the
other so perfectly that at first sight it
would be quite difficult for one to de-
tect at which end the limb began. The
bow is about three inches thick, and
the string part is about one-fifth of that
thickness, and is strong enough to shoot
an arrow two hundred yards. -Montreal

The experience of fruit growers all
goes to show that it is unwise to rule
ones conduct by exceptional circum-
stances. The Florida orange growers
who loose crop of fruit and perhaps a
years growth of their trees can not af-
ford to throw away their orchards (and
the same remark applies to peach and
small fruit growers) because of an oc-
casional disaster. The evil must be
taken with the good, and sort of self
insurance system should be established
to cover losses in certain years. The
example of the seven years of plenty
followed by seven years of famine re.
corded in ancient history should be fol.
lowed in these cases.-N Y Times.

Bleeding the Farmer.

There is no other industrial pursu it
than agriculture which is so burdened
with alleged improvements for which
patents have been secured. The farm
er's soul is vexed with claims for royal
ties from an endless variety of people
who demand money for deyices for
which patents have been secured un-
justly. Fences, wells, churns, gates,
harrows, clevices and great variety of
simple tools and devices which are used
by farmers; and even methods of prun.
ing, laying down trees and vines for
winter protection. and now an old
method sof making drains, haye been
patented and the use of them is denied
to the public. The worst of it is that
the smajority of these claimants are
farmers themselves, and do their best
to tax their brother farmer without any
adequate return being made, and more
over it causes and encourages litigation
and wastes hard-earned money. This
is a matter which needs reforming, and
farmers should combine to insist upon
a deliverance from this irritating and
costly nuisance.

A Nevada Senator's Luck.

Senator Jones in the San FraLcis CO
Post says: I've always believed in

when | was Sheriff oyer in Shasta
County. 1t was q roaster OF day and
7 was returning On horseback from 4

slowly following faint mountain trail,
and the sun was just baking me, and
the horse was in lather. l came uu-
der tbs shade of a big rock, and thought
it would lie pleasant to get off and have
a smoke. l sat down on cool boulder,
cut pipeful of tobacco from my plug,
filled my pipe aud felt for match.
Well, Joe, there wasn't a match any
where in my pockets. I searched and
searched, but there was no match. l
tell you, Joe, felt worse over that dis
appointment than I've done since when
the market has gone back on me and
hit me for a hundred thousand at
clip. But while I sat there on that
boulder wrapped in gloom, what dye
suppose my eye suddenly fell on ? A
match, by heavens. lying on The trail
not six feet away from me L used it
Though was little afraid to touch
it at first-and had my smoke. So you
needn't worry about how this political
fight is going to come out. A man for
whom. Providence will 60 to the trouble
of providing a match for smoke in
the wilds of the Sierra Neyadas, where
mans foot scarcely ever treads, isn't

commonplace little thing like being E.

Ever since that tlme,' concluded the
Comstocker, 'I'ye never refused dol

a Stu mp Speaker cup a Stump.

Stories of General George A. Sher
idan, the stump speaker and lecturer,
who is generally paraded as 'of Lou
isiana, are often to be heard in the
places where public men gather. He
is said to have once declared the
axiom that the one thing which
stump orator does not need to burden
himself with is facts. 1t is the Gen
eral Is idea that facile speaker can
create all the facts he wants as he
goes along in his speech. In illustra-
tion of his meaning he told story of
an occurrence when he was out on a
tour with General Garfield He had
made an assertion with reference to
the tariff which seemed to him to need
some bolstering and he said that his
statement had been based on decis-
ion of the highest court cf the State
of New York. He was about to pass
on,when o young man in the audience
interrupted him and begged permiss-
ion to ask where this decision could
be found. The General was up a
stump and as fight for time in the
hope that Garfield might help him out
he asked inquirer, Are you law
yer ?' The stranger replied in the
affirmative. Il thought so, said Sher-
idan. you look like smart and in
telligent one at that. You have
doubtless read this decision yourself
many times By this time it became
apparent to Sheridan that Garfield
was enjoying his discontinue and
that he must get out of his scrape the
best he could. 1t flashed across his
mind that there was report in New
York known as Denio's, and he said:
'The report is in 5th DEMO, page so
and so.' The young lawyer wavered
q minute and then sat down, saying
meekly, 'Ah. yes, do remember now
having read it myself" Sheridan
says that he had curiosity afterward
to look up the particular page to
which he referred the inquisitive
young fellow, and found that it was
the middle of a report of q case in
volving questions of idiccy.
