JOKING MARTIN, OF TExAA
A New Version Of the Story About the
Telephone and Convention.

A New Version Of the Story About the
Telephone and Convention.
Judge Martin, of Texas, the man Of tele-
phone and dblow-out-the-gas fame, will not be
in the next Congress The telephone incident
will bear repeating. The job was put up
by some of the practical jokers of Congress.
1t was at the time of the Congressional
Convention that nominated Martins sue
cessor. These practical jokers took their
stand in the committee room in Ben But
ler's house across the way, and called
through the telephone for Judge Martin.
The page rushed to the House and told
the Judge that someone wanted him at the
telephone.
Martin hardly knew what Q telephone
was, but he finally got up and went out He
asked the boy to do the talking. The boy,
who had been coached, said: at is tele.
phone from your convention from Texas
They are telling you how things are going
on"
"All right" said Judge Martin, "whss
do they sav?"
They say" replied the boy, ''that they
think you will win"
'Is that SOP" replied Martin. "Keep a
Estenin'.'
''They say, judge" continued the boy,
".hey want to know what you think of the
Alliance, and will you vote for free silver,
and they want you to tell them what you
will do on everything"
"Oh," said Judge Martin, twill you Just
tell them that you can't find me-"
Martin then left the Capitol. In three
hours he came back expecting to find him.

sold he was mad, and when q telegram came
saying the other man was nominated he W as
the maddest man in Washington. The boy
kept away from the House for days, and
Martin never caught him

Some impartial and Interesting testimony
as to the status of the machine trade in thia
country was given at the last meeting of tho
Manchester, England, Association OF En-
gineers, in q paper on some Leading Amer
lean Workshops" The author said he went
to America with very high expectations as
to the wonderful engineering work he would
see, and lie confessed that what lie saw far
surpassed his anticipations. At O shop he
visited in Boston, for example, he saw pat
ent milling cutters being made ut the rate
of GA per hour by dozen men. Five dollars
spent I'm wages produced $50 to 500 worth
goods. He thought that perhaps one secres
of the success or the machine trade in Amer
lea vas the extent to which specialization
was carried. Another point was that in
comparison with the Americans the English
are lacking in capital There was gold
enough to be found in England for a Cana
dian Or South American railway, or for an
imaginary gold mine, but in Manchester. for
instance, 1t was impossible-he spoke from
exDerience-for man with some brains to
raise 81, 600 or 81, 500 to work with. In Amer
lea, as it seemed to him. engineers put their
savings into their businesses, for tine pur-
pose OF improving and extending them, to q
greater extent than the English do.

rwErrrET FOR THE DIsPArCH.t
If Sir James Crichton Brown Is TO b b.
Heved, and he is one Of the first physicians
Of the day, the time Is fast approaching
when, unless radical change In manner Of
living is made, men will not live out half
their days. DR.. Brown says that men and
wo" en- are growing old before their time.
Old age is encroaching on the strength Of
manhood, and the in6rmities associated
with it are s.ealthily taking possession Of
the system some years earlier than they
were wont to do in former generations.
Deaths due simply to old age arc now re.
ported between As and b5 years of age, and
in large numbers between 55 and co. and
there has been reduction In the age at
which atrophy and debility-anothey name
for second childishness-killt those who have
passed middle life. Presbyopia, or the
long-sightedness of old age, in which near
objects cannot be distinctly seen unless
held at considerable distance from the
eye, is believed to begin earlier than il
used to do.
The eminent oculist, Critchett, says that
his experience of over quarter of century
leads him to think that both men and wo-
men now seek aid from glasses at an earlier
period of life than their ancestors. From
another authoritative source we find that
people who have lived in hot climates like
India become presbyopic four or five years
earlier than they would otherwise have
done, for life in hot climate really means
excessive wear and tear to a European.
From the same source we learn that the
ordinary age for, the adoption of spectacles
for reading used to be 30: It is now nearer Is.
DR.. Brown further tells us that the teeth are
dropping out earlier, badness Is more
prevalent, senile insanity is more common,
and suicide is increasing.
These are very unpleasant facts. but they
appear to be well substantiated. The best
and truest remedy for che loss of old age Is
20 teach children more earnestly the fact
that to enjoy the last half Of life they must
take care of the first half.

Growing Plants In Sand.

Prof W. o. Atwater has no fears about she
food supply of the future. He states as bis
belief that tine doctrine OF MalthuJ-that the
time will come when there will not be food
enough for the human race, owing to the
theory that population increases IN a geo.
metrical and food supply in an arithmetri-
cal ratio-is one which need never give tho
world any uneasiness, owing to the great ad-
vances which are being made in chemistry,
Science has shown what are the essential
factors In vegetable production, and plants
can now be grown in water or in sand by
adding the proper chemicals. To test this,
sea sand was brought from the shore OF
Long Island Sound to Prof. Atwat ter's labor
atory. To diyest 1t Of every possible ma
terial which the plant might use for food ex-
cept the sand Itself, it was carefully washed
with water and then heafed. 1t was put
into glass jars, water was added, and minute
quantities Of chemical salts were dissolved
in it. Dwarf peas, planted in this sand,

SAM HousToE's FIRST MARRIAGE

Two Stories to Account for One OF the
Mysteries OF the South.
Of Sam Houston's first marriage, they
have one version in Tennessee, but there is
another version in Texas. The Tennessee
story IS that while Houston was Governor
of the State he fell in love with very
pretty young lady named Allen and pro-
posed to her and after time was accepted
Within very short time, the next day
after the marriage think, he left his wife
without word of explanation. He pro-
tested that the cause of separation in no
wav affected his wife's character. He left
Tennessee and went among the Cherokees
and lived with them for three years. And
during this time it is said that he got
Cherokee wife. As to the last I do not
know but the marriage and separation are
conceded facts.
Now in Tennessee 1t was claimed that as
soon as the wedding party was over Governor
Houston's wife told her husband that she
had been forced into the marriage by her
parents and that she loved another. Houston
thereupon said that he would not compel
her to live with him but he would give her
divorce by leaving the State. This he did,
taking all the blame.
In Texas it is said that this story may or
may not be true but that another reason for
his leaving his wife was a wound in his
shoulder resulting from shot which he
had received in the Indian wars which at
this time made him very offensive to those
who were closely associated with him. At
all events he acted most magnaminously in
the matter and he never made q public ex-
PLANTATION of his course. He married again
after he went to Texas and there are a num-
ber of his children living in the State to-
day. There are several boys and one girl
The boys are bright, well-to-do young men
and the girl is a brilliant writer, and she not
long ago wrote scathing review of some
articles which had been published concern
inc her father
