Mr.. Briggs Idea.

Mr.. ]. B. Briggs, of Russellville, KY,
has been telling orange farmers of Florida
how they can get better prices for their
oranges. His plan is to keep them there
until summer when Florida oranges are out
of the market. But how can they be kepts
They decay soon after being taken from the
trees, and they will not cling to the trees
until warm weather comes. Mr. Briggs
says keep them in caves. He declares that
he has made some experiments which prove
tina they can be kept in the mammoth cave
of Kentucky, where the temperature is
about the same all the year round, for
many months. 1t seems that the orange
growers of Sicily have learned the secret of
keeping oranges in caves and grottoes and
profit by it.
1t is probable that there are no caves in
Florida in which oranges could be pre-
served. but what is to prevent caves else
where in this country from being utilized
for storing orangesl Mr., Briggs owns caves
in Kentucky aud he offers to receive Or
anges for storage. And if it be true that
oranges can be kept in a good state of
preservation in caves, Florida orange grow
ers could not do wiser thing than store a
part of their crops until the price Of or
anges advances to a satisfactory figure. The
Briggs plan is at least worth investigating.

Remarikable Feat Of Strength.


E. P. Kendall gave a remarkable ex.
hibition OF his skill and strength with
ten-pound dumbbell at noontime. He
matched himself against eight strong
men employed upon the grade work
about the county court house, and
agreed to put up from shoulder to arms
length a ten-pound durnbbell more times
than the eight men could. Kendall has
a limb which makes it necessary for him
to use crutches. and as he is of very
slight build the result Of the contest ap-
peared to be foregone conclusion.
One after another the eight men took
their places, Kendall keeping time with
each one, and after the eighth had
dropped his arm from sheer exhaustion
Kendall smiled pleasantly and ran up
his score of consecutive lifts to an even
1000. His best score with twelve-pound
bell is 1900 lifts, and he has brother

PULL DOWN THAT VEST.

The yociierous Vest of Missouri, is psined to the heart because William Campbell has been made chairman of the Republican National commit tee. He says Campbell followed his (Vest'sj beef committee from one end of the country to the other, and (chietest Oi all sins and something Campbell will never be forgiven for in this world or the next) he act ually had the audacity to sadvise Phil Armour to defy the senate of the United States and refuse to obey it's subpnnas. "God willing," shrieks Vest, i've will make this the issue until not one solitary Democrat throughout the country can be found who will not admit that this is the great issue, the overwhelming issue to be decided in November"
 There is no objection to Vests trying to fool Democrats as he has been doing for years, but he can't make anybody else believe that Campbell is the issue in this contest, and he needn't try it. Campbell is shrewd lawyer, and he has been employed by Phil Armour Gan anti Harrison man by the way, in his business. But that don't make him an tissue" Vest will find it impossible to conceal the real rat in the meal tub by any such hamboyent utterances. And while we are on this subject, by the way, what has become of that commit tee Of which Vest was chairman, and which was charged with the work of protecting Western cat tie interests? What has he ac- compiished? Who has he protected ! What has been the result of his great labor and the thousands he has expend- ed from the treasury in finding means to protect the cattle men? Was Camp bell chasing so close as to scare him away from his workP Judging from the fiasco he has made in this business the senate better lock up the vaults of the contingent fund from the beef commit tee and pull down it's Vest.

 made immediate preparations for the trip. My Chinese valet packed up tho trunks which cumbered my city rooms and sent all of them save one to a storage warehouse for the summer. The one remaining was dispatched to the boat. Myself, the valet and my grey. hound Peg very shortly followed the trunk in coupe. Entering the coupe l inadvertently dropped my half con. suln2i cigar on the floor, and there wa, an immediate and violent explosion My new suit was torn into more ribbons than pretty girl ever dreamed of, and there were other direful and easily llluSlilt ItSullSs ItB, lJ SceliS, lUg stolen package of giant firecracker, and thoughtfully deposited them, in the bottom of the coupe, so that thtr were actively on hand when my lies tcA cigar came along. l reached the hotel enveloped in a horse blanket and the darkness of my own thoughts.

TWAS A CAME FOR TWO.

A Funny Practical Joko of trs -tcyersi-
 bie Order,
 There is undoubtedly more practical joking on the Fourth of July than on the lst of April, and whatever may be the opinion regarding practical jokes in the abstract, few there be that having ar rived at the age of discretion will not aglee that the typical Fourth of July practical Joke is rarely humorous, es- pecially from the victims point of view,
 There is young man in Chicago who may be called Smith, to whom the idea of a practical joke-or some other fellow is excruciatingly funny, or rather was SO until late hour last night. There is reason to believe that he has undergone a change of opinion on the subject.
 A few days before the Fourth the young man conceived a brilliant idea. He bought a mammoth cannon cracker, over a foot long and several inches in diameter. Then be carefully removed the fuse and the charge. tunneling the gunpowder out and scorching the hole with red hot wire until the last vestige bA tllg llA'NlNN do ANAAA'Nt'ts llD blts cannon cracker was then perfectly harm less.
 Ie started out early yesterday morn ing with his big, harmless cracker and five cent bunch of little ones. He iu- serted one of the little ones in the top end of the cannon cracker and dropped into the first saloon, calmly set the big cracker on the bar and set fire to the fuse.
 The bartender crouched behind the bar, frightened nearly out of his wits, Sizz! went the fuse and the other GUS toners glanced at the big cracker and then scrambled all over each other ia their haste to get out of the way befof6 the explosion came.
 1t came--a puny little pop-2ud the big cracker turned istlessly over on its side.
 The bartender peeped out timidly, with sickly grin, and finally recovered his courage when the joker put the cracker in his coat pocket. Then every. body took something at the bartender B invitation.
 Strange to say the young man with the cannon cracker successfully played his little joke all day long, from place to place, with the usual accompaniment of treats by the bartender. But every lane has an end, and every practical joker meets another sooner or later.
 Some one who saw him play his little trick went straightway and bought an- other cannon cracker the same size as Smiths. But he didn't remove the load. He followed Smith.
 The opportunity soon came to replace the bogus cracker with the real one It was the latter Smith drew from his pocket and touched match to the fuse, Smith was knocked down ill the rush to the door. To this adventitious circum. stance he probably owes what remains to him of his physical well being.
 The cracker exploded with terrific report, shattered $200 worth of glass, for which young Mr. Smith had to pay, and melted the proprietor to an assault upon Smith which made him wish he had gone off with the cracker.-Chicago Tribune.

Talk of women not having as mach business shrewdness as men! There are yet living nineteen widows of Revolu- tionary soldiers regularly drawing gov. ernment pensions. The oldest of them is hundred, the youngest seventy-four years old. Some of them must have been only sixteen and the veterans who were the fathers of this country must have been past eighty when they were welded, yet these shrewd bits of girls knew enough to go in for the pensions which were a sure thing all the rest of their lives. They know also how to ex- emphfy the truth of tho saying that pen sioners live long.

The Chattanooga Times has offered the following receipt: Let us throw ourselves into head over heels in regu. lar old fashioned schoolboy somersault. Let us not think of business on that day at all-it won't hurt any of us mentally morally, physically or financially, to take one day off for fun, Turn all tho boys loose, with the single admonition that so long as they keep sober and don't violate any law the whole town and all the rest of the world is theirs for twenty four hours at least. Don't be afraid there will be too much racket-the more noise of an innocent sort the better. And be sure to decorate, not with paint, but with flags and bunting and all manner of gorgeous colors. Be sure to have old Glory everywhere, with forty-two stars on him. Make him the most con. spicuous feature of the day.

 And bombs bursting in air,
