Many people, in spite of the oft re-
peated warning never to sign anything
without reading it, are always ready to
append their names to anything that
happens to come along in the shape of a
petition. A kings prime minister, who
had been annoyed by the monarch's pro-
pensity to sign anything presented to him
without examining its purport, cured his
majesty of this habit by drawing up ar
ticles of abdication and securing the
kings immediate signature. He never
dipped his pen after that without care
full inspection of the document. The
propensity has been curiously illustrated
by Western joker. A farmer, promi-
nent and wealthy, but unable to read,
wanted to resign the position of road
surveyor, and asked doctor friend of
his to draw up a paper to that effect,
which he could get his neighbors to agree
to in writing. The doctor thought it a
good opportunity to test the wildcat sys-
tenn of signing documents that don't
affect the worldly welfare of the signer,
so the petition he drew up was one in
which the farmer asked to be hanged.
Perfectly ignorant of its purport, the old
fellow took it around on his travels in
town and in few days had secured $50
signatures, and not single signer, so the
doctor discovered, had the faintest idea
of it's purport.

BOston's Belief i.i Ghosts.

1t is not long since that an author
whom all the reading world of America
admres for his clearheadedness, laid
down the proposition at dinner table
where a brilliant company were as
sembled that it is impossible to believe
in Immortality without allowing at least
the possibility of ghosts. He was
asked if he believed in haunted houses
and answered in the affirmative with
the greatest readiness and emphasis. 1t
was in comment upon tho talk at this
dinner party that the statement was
made by lady who knows the best
social and literary life of Boston, that it
was nowadays looked upon as a proof
that one is not up with the times here
to express a doubt of the reality of the
incidents which make up the staple of
ghostly tales. "You are at liberty"
she said, to have any theory you choose
in regard to them. Nobody insists that
you shall believe that they are caused
by intelligent or unintelligent PERSONAL.
ties. You may talk of unknown forces,
undiscovered laws, of mind influence,
or anything else that comes into your
head, Lut you must not presume to
doubt that things have happened. ~

1t is mistake to suppose that the
knots or warts which are very comm
on some species of forest trees are due
to insects, fungus, or accident, or are in
any way unnatural growths. They de
velop as results neither of the healt
nor disease of the tree, nor of such con-
dtions as special kinds of soil or situa-
tons. Science Gossip thus accounts for
their formations:
"In the banks of our forest trees are
contained multitude of latent buds,
which are developed and grow under
certain favorable conditions. Some tree
possess this property in remarkable
degree, and often, when the other parts
are killed down by frost, the property
of pushing out these latent buds into
growth preserves the life of the plant.
These buds, having once begun to grow,
adhere to the woody layer at their base.
and push out their points through the
bark toward the light
"The buds then unfold and develop
leaves, which elaborate the sap carried
up the small shoot Once elaborated,
it descends by the bark. Here it is az
rested, so to speak, and deposited be-
tween the outside and inner layer OF
bark, as can be learned on examining
81 ecimens on the trees in the woods al
most anywhere"

An Egg That BROUGHT q Husband.

A proposal came to a pretty Maine
school teacher in very novel manner
While at her fathers home in Sidney, IL
few years ago, she wrote her name and
address upon an egg, which she secured
in all its warm freshness from the ma
ternal nest The egg went to market,
and the fact that it bore an inscription
was forgotten. In the course of weeks a
letter came to the schoolma'am, and to
her amazement she learned that that
particular egg had Matched strange re-
suits.
The son of big commission merchant
in Massachusetts, city had seen the
name and had written to say that IF
the young lady was as pretty as her
name he would like to form more init
mate acquaintance. With the charac-
teristic modesty of the Maine school
ma'am, our heroine discouraged the adj
vances of the strangely acquired adj

came down to Maine. 1t is to be sup

1t appears to be the belief of some
that as man in the savage state has for
the most part been largely, if not wholly,
carnivorous, he will with the progress
of civilization become entirely vege-
tartan or use only the products of ami
mails, as eggs and milk. with vegetable
food. A vegetable diet has been found
very successful in treating kidney
troubles and indigestion. In point of
economy it is an enormous saving, not
only in actual cost to the consumer, but
also in land, as of two equal portions of
ground, one raising a cereal and the
other beef or mutton, the part devoted
to the cereal will support ten times as
many men as the beef or mutton por-

THE HAYsEED.

We can all Of us remember
How along about September
The papers used to tell Of the CAUCUS or the
fair,
And those fellows from the city
Used to get almighty witty
On the fellow with the duster. who had hay
seed in his hair.
They had fun in Legislators
With the man what raised potaters,
II by any hook or crook or chance elected and
sent there;
And those reportorial friskers
Used to comment on the whiskers
And the carpet sack of Billson. who had hay
seed In his hair.
Yes, by gum, he rode his pass out,
And he used to blow the gas out.
And he used to drink hard cider when he
went out on a tear;
And he used to squeeze the dollar
Till the buzzard used to holler;
The man cut up ridiculous that had hayseed
In his hair.
But, by gum. IL you've been reading
You'll observe a strange proceeding;
TITS the fellow with chin whiskers that is
slowly getting there;
And it won't be too surprising
If, by slowly organizing.
Old parties may wake up and find hayseed In
their hair.
When the fashions change. you fellers
Will all carry green umbrellas.
And trousers wide across the seat to make
thedudelets stare;
And in those days. if you pass muster,
You must wear linen duster,
And if you want to throw on style put hay
seed in your hair.

A Novel Plan of Irrigation.

An important experiment has been
made in the province of the Don Co.
sacks, Russia. by NJ. Sherebzov. He
collected the water from rain and the
melting of SHOWS into two pools, hold
ing together about 1872, 900, 900 cubic
feet, and distributed it among the fields
in spring and summer. These pools
supplied sufficient water to irrigate more
than 1890 acres. but were unable to
contain all the water which flowed to-
ward them, and therefore two new
pools have been made and the irrigated
area enlarged to 1890 acres. In conse-
quence of this irrigation, says The Scot
fish Geographical Magazine, the wheat
crop has increased from about 81 to ISL
bushels per acre, and the profits of the
undertaking have been, according to NJ.
Sherebzov, 80 per cent.

now BISMARCK BECAME PREMIER

Forced Into the Position by Threats OF
Abdicatton by the King.
Just how Bismarck took the final step
into the position of the leading statesman
of Prussia has always been unwritten
history. The Munchener Allgemeine
Zeitung, still very close te the ex-chan-
cellor, in its efforts to stem the tide Of
adverse newspaper comment on Bis
marck's record, gives detailed descrip-
ton of the significant event, and, more
over, guarantees the correctness of the
information. Won Roor, minister of
war, had called Bismarck home from
France. The king received him in the
park of Babelsberg. AS Bismarck ap-
preached the king handed him the copy
of his announcement of his abdication,
which he was about to have published.
Bismarck looked astounded and remarked
quickly that in Prussia such document
should be impossible.
II have tried everything" said the
king, yet have found no alternative.
Against my conviction 1 can not rule.
My ministers are against me. My own son
sides with them. You have already been
with him. If can not come to an I'M
derstanding with you l shall send this
announcement of my abdication to the
Gazette, and then my son may see what
he can do. To surrender the reorganiza-
ton of the army is against my convic-
lions. To violate them is to me a viola
ton of duty"
Bismarck replied that he had called on
the crown prince merely in response to a
summons, and that he had refused to dis
cuss the situation before an interview
with the king. All thought of abdication
must be given up at once. The king
balanced the paper in his hand few min
utes and then inquired:
"Will you try to rule without ma
jority?"
yes"
And without budget?"
Eyes"
"And without yielding the recognition
of the army?"
"Yes."
"Then here is my program.
Bismarck read the four quarto pages
covered with the kings fine handwriting.
The first point concerned the representa-
ton of cities and manors in district
assemblies, around which violent quar-
rel had already gathered.
"Your majesty" said Bismarck de-
cidedly, 1.-THE question at issue is not
about district assemblies, it is about the
ability of the king or the ability of par
Lament to rule Prussia. Settle this ques-
ton and all else will settle itself. If your
majesty will trust me SO far will under
take the work, but without programs.
After short silence the king nodded.
He and Bismarck were walking over a
little bridge and he began to tear up the
program. AS he dropped the pieces on
the planks, Bismarck, STOPPING, picked
them up as he said
"Your majesty perhaps might better
throw the pieces into the fire. Some one
might find them here, and every one in
this vicinity knows your majestys hand
writing"
The king put the remnant of the pro-
gram in his coat pocket, discussed shortly
the dismissal of the acting minister
president, and then started for the castle
to pen the letter of dismissal.
