A plnO-IOllcn Storm.

A few mornings ago on arising resi-
dents of Nashville, Tcnn., were sur
prlscd and somewhat alarmed to find
tho ground covered with yellow de-
post resembling powdered sulphur,
which for IL time it was supposed to be.
Tho substance was soon found, how
over, to be tho pollen. of pines, carried
by the winds from strip Of Pine
forest extending from Louisiana
through North Carolina to Virginia.
The force Of the winds is so great and
pine pollen so light that tho latter is
sometimes carried from tho pine re-
gions to Chicago in such vast quantities
that the waters OF Lake Michigan for
miles outside tho city limits arc COW
cred with u thick, yellow scum. This
pollen, although minute in tho present
ngc, in prehistoric times was of great
size, spores of some spccies Of lyco-
podiums and sclugcncllus, which are
allied to tho conlfcrp, having diam
etor Of onc-sixtccnth of an inch, and
composed almost entirely some of the

A Much Travelled Volume.

In opening package of books wrapped
in tin, the custom house inspectors cut
with knife the binding, by Ruban, of a
"Poor Richard Almanack."' The import
er made no claim for damage from the
government, paid the duty, returned the
book to Paris to be rebound and wrote
an ode to Diana of Poitiers, goddess OF
book lovers, in gratitude for the miracu-
lous escape of the text of his Almanack.
The book, rebound, came back fifteen
days ago. The owner supposes that it is
intact, but he does not know, and he
cannot learn even by paying the duty
again, for the official wants new in
voice. and the importer is naive enough
to think that he can persuade the official
that the first invoice. which is fled at
the custom house, accurately describes
the book on its fourth voyage across the
Atlantic. York Times. -...

To Celebrate the Marsei1laise.

Another effort is being made by the
inhabitants of Choisy-ie-R oi, outside of
Paris, to observe with much solemnity
and ceremonial what is vaguely called
the Centenary of the Marseillaise. :"
Choisy-le-Roi claims to possess the dust
of Rouget de PIsle-the composer of the
hymn-who was buried there in 1886,
his birthplace being Lons-le-Saulnier, in
the department of the Jura On this &C
count the members of the borough coun-
Gil consider that they have the right to
take the initiative in organizing a Right
Republican festival this year, as the Mar
seillase, under the title of ''Chant de
Guerre de lArmee du Rhin," was first
heard in 1899. g-l-
President Carnot is to be asked to be,
come honorary president of the commit
tee of the fete, and appeals for funds
will be made to all the cities, and also
to communes which possess more than
1000 inhabitants. No date as yet has
been fixed for the celebration of the CEN
tenary, to which it is presumed that
every patriotic Frenchman will give his
sentimental and sympathetic-if not
practical and pecuniary- support

Pay of Actors.

Some of the figures of the salaries sue
cessfu1 actors receive look bewildering to
the clerk or typewriter who tolls eight to
ten hours a day for from seven to fifteen
dollars week. But the ones who get
the large pay are about as one to 500.
Then, too, it is to be remembered that
theatrical people are unemployed two to
three months in the year, and must live
during the summer on what they save
in the season. Again, their expenses are
enormous compared to those of the ordi-
nary wage worker. They dare not
''skimp" either their stomachs or their
backs, for the effect will at once be
manifest in their physical appearance,
and to the player physical appearance is
everything.
In the Jefferson Florence com bination
Florence gets $1,000 a week. When
Modjeska played in the Booth-Barrett
company she was paid $1,000 week.
Next to these comes Lillian Russell, the
favorite American prima donna in opera
comique. In the Lillian Russell Opera
Comique company, of which she is the
central sun, she gets $500 week. Times
have changed since the days when this
beautiful woman and peerless singer was
found one day by her mother, who ar
rived unexpectedly, doing her own house
work in a basement in New York.
Francis Wilson is another who sud-
denly took the public by storm, and
rode upon the waves of popularity to
fame and fortune. He received last
season $500 week, with extra pay for
matinees. Before he became rich he
began to build modest home for him
self in one of New York's prettiest sub
urbs, New Rochelle. With the sudden
accession Of fortune the design was re-
modelled and the modest cottage before
it was finished swelled to castlelike pro-
portions, with a complete theater on the
top floor.
Mrs. John Drew gets in the jefferson
Florence company $500 week. Ada
Rehan is said to receive from DAILY $500
a week, while De Wolf Hopper COM
mands $500. Marie Tempest at the New
York Casino receives $500 week, Froh-
man pays Dixey 5000, Marion Manola
commands $3.50, Nina Gale got $400 a
week from the Booth-Barrett company
and Pauline Hall the same price from
Rudolf Aronson before she formed her
own company. From these figures actors
range financially all the way down to
the would be star who steps from 80
ciety upon the professional stage and pays
a manager for letting her appear before
the public. And for every one who com
mands the prices mentioned there are ut
least ten who are, as the slang of the
profession phrases 1t, travelling on their
uppers."

The Greatest Trotter.

One hardly knows whether Sunol, the
California 5-year-old mare, is the great
est trotter or not. It is true she made a
mile in 2:084, beating by half a second
the great performance Of Maud s at
Cleveland in 1885. But Maud S won
her 2:084 upon the old fashioned track
Sunors track at Stockton, Cal, was the
kite shaped one, with only one long turn.
The kite shaped track favors the horse
to such an extent that it is still some
what matter of doubt whether Sunol
is faster than Maud s.
There are several things, however,
that are not matters Of doubt. One is
that Robert Bonner certainly owns the
two fastest trotters on the globe. What
sight it would be to see the two beau
ties together in light road wagon.
Another thing not in doubt is that 1891
will stand as the most famous record
breaking year in half century in sew
eral lines.
AS to trotters, will the prize banner
for the state that breeds the greatest
trotters pass from Kentucky to Califor-
mia? Maud s, the Kentucky mare, made
her great record Of 2:0S4 when she was
II years old. Sunol, the splendid Cali
fornian, is only 8. 1t is claimed that a
horses racing qualities improve up to
the animals eighteenth year. 1t may
be, therefore, that Sunol may beat even
2:O8f. Meantime little Nancy Hanks,
the Kentuckian, has a record of 200.

We are to have new article of food
In the United States. It is the bulbs of
the Gala, commonly known as the Gala
lily. The flower of this plant is bes.uti-
full enough to give 1t reason for being
without anything else, but its dubious
roots are very edible, and the plant will
grow in the open ground in the southern
part of the Union. Florida farmers are
already planting it by the acre. 1t
propagates itself in great abundance.
The edible tuber must first be boiled
to rid it Of the acrid, Indian turnip
taste that burns the tongue when the
root is raw. After being thus boiled
the tuber may be fried, roasted or hashed
with cream. 1t is entirely palatable
and tastes somewhat like potato, except
that it is more mucilaginous. Time
was when the tomato was grown solely
for ornament. Will like fate over
take the beautiful and stately Gala? In
swa1nps is where the Gala most delights
to grow.

1--WE have now secured $50, 900 acres
Of land in North Dakota for barley
farms, and next spring we will send
thousands Of German emigrants to that
state from Ohio, West Virginia and In
DIANA" said Colonel o. M. Towner as
he discussed the future Of this great
northern state. Colonel Towner is man
ager Of what is best known as the Barley
syndicate Of Chicago. During the last
two or three months the company has
succeeded in securing $50, 200 acres of
land in North Dakota, on which it is
proposed to place German farmers to
raise barley for malt purposes. These
lands have been purchased in Nelson,
Norman, Towner, Ramsey, Steele and
Bottineau counties.
1t is the opinion of the managers Of
this company that barley can be most
successfully grown in that state, and
they have the conviction of their belief
sufficiently to purchase these lands and
to send out emigrants from other states.
The Germans are chosen on account of
their knowledge of barley culture for
this purpose. These emigrants will not
be tenants, but owners of the land, it
being sold to them on easy terms The
crops will be bought by the company
and shipped to all points where there is
a demand for barley.-St. Paul Pioneer
Press.

There Is coolness between the boys
and the girls of the Stanford university.
1t all came about from aquestion Of pro-
priety. The boys gave a bali in their
dormitory hall on Monday nigW .
which they invited all the girIstf
Is well as the professors. E1a6
preparations were made, and the yol. Is
men anticipated an evening Of enjoy
ment. They hired band, and had the
dormitory beautifully decorated
One or two Of the more modest and re-
firing of the maidene in the girls' dormi-
tory were shocked at tho ayowed inten-
ton Of some Of the girls to attend the
ball, and called meeting OK the girls, at
which there was long discussion OF the
affair.
Many of the fair students said they
could see no harm in going to the ball as
long as the professors were willing, but
the more prudish damsels read a strong
lecture on the evils of such doings, and,
on vote, there was majority in favor
of not attending the ball. So none Of
them went.
The boys waited long for the coming
Of the fair ones, but they came not. At
first the collegians were very angry.
Then they took the dancing floor them
selves and made ''stag" party of it.
They say, however, that for future fes-
tivities they will send no invitations to
the girl students. This suits the ultra
modest among the latter, but the sociable
girls feel crushed.-San Francisco

Dec. 7th, 179l, making it 100 years old

great preparations were being made for
a "Jubilee" the coming night. Under
the good management of Messrs. Bry-
arly and Brady, large bonfire was
built at the north end of town, and was
one of the most attractive things of the
occasion. Abont eight o'clock this was
lighted, and drew quite large crowd.
The village Drum Corps was out in full
force, and after getting everything in
order the procession was formed, which
was about one-half mile long (1nore
or less.) Everything in our town was
well represented especially our old
maids and bachelors. After encircling
the bonfire, the march through the
town began. Quite number of other
houses were Illuminated and the. one
most appropriate, was the old :" Bar
racks" which is about the oldest house
in town, and it being illuminated by an
old grease lamp, which had the ap-
pearance of having been the prop
erty of General Darkes great grand
mother. After marching through town
the procession returned to the residence
OF the oldest citizen, being that of Hon.
y. f. Pine. After the serenade of the
drum corps the crowd gave three
cheers" for this old and venerable citi-
zen. Dan said he could " set them up
but his supply of Cod L. O.. &c. was
limited and he was afraid it would not

After this the crowd dispersed, and to
awake in the morning to find the sun
had not ceased to rise, and our village
