Stood Up for Their Native Land.

A good story is told of Phillips
Brooks, DR.. McVicker, of PHILADELPHIA,
and Mr.. Robinson, the builder, of Bos-
ton, attending n lecture in Leeds on
America. Unhappily the lecturer stated
that Americans were, as a rule, short of
stature, and if there were any in the au-
dience he would be pleased to have the
opportunity of demonstrating the state
mcnt. Phillips Brooks rose to his feet
and said, 81 am an American, and rs you
see, about six feet IN height, aud sin
cerely hope that if there is any other
representative of my country here he will
RISE" After II moments interval Mr..
Robinson rose and said: al am from
America, in which country my height,
six feet two, is the subject of no remark.
If there is any other American here L
hope he will rise" The house was in n
jolly humor. Waiting until the excite
ment could abate in some degree and the
lecturer regain control Of his shattered
nerves, DR.. McVicker slowly drew his
form to its full height of six feet four
and exclaimed: 81 am an" But he
got no further. The audience roared,
and the lecturer said no more on that

How Chichn is Made.

The Indian method of making chicha
is truthfully described by gentleman
who recently saw it done in this part of
Araucania in Chill. He says: While
the women were engaged at their usual
avocatlon one of them brought out
dish of meal, slightly moistened, and II
small earthen jug, both of which she set
upon the ground. One of the girls ap-
preached and took handful of meal and
made it into ball, which she stuffed
into her mouth, and, with both cheeks
distended, returned to her work. Au-
other followed, and other, until all
from children to blear-eyed old crones-
were busy munching and chewing, with
theST faces pulled out like balls, but still
managing to keep up ceaselcss jabbsr-
ing. In d few minutes the first returned,
and hitting up the jug emptied into it
the whole contents of her mouth. She
took another mouthful of meal and went
eff, chewing and jabbering us before.
The rest followed in due time; and so it
went on until tie meal was exhausted
and the jug was full.-Pailadelphia

An Oddly in Painting.

The provincial cities OF France are juso
now being entertained by remarkable
artist, one who displays wonderful skill
in her own peculiar style of painting.
With plates of various-colored sand be-
fore her she takes the sand in her right
hand and causes it to fall in beautiful
designs upon table. A bunch of
grapes is deftly pictured with violet
sand, leaf with green sand and relief
and shadows with sand of the colors to
suit. When this has been admired by
those artistically inclined it is brushed
away and is soon replaced by bouquet
of roses or some other object, all done
with great dexterity and delieacy. Even
the finest lines are drawn with streams
of sand, all as distinct as though made
with an artists brush. = Ohica29 Me,os.

Chestnut Culture.

Cultivation of tho chestnut is often nd
vised as source Of profit from the fruit
and wood, but chiefly from the former,
for there is always large demand, which
trees growing naturally in tho forests and
fields do not fully supply. Tho trce is
rapid in its growth aud is easily propa-
gated from tho seeds, and it would soon
that very considerable increase in the
number of bearing trees might DO prollta-
bly, made, especially on rough pasture
lands where tho soil is not unlavorable
to their growth.
In bulletin published by tho Penn
sylvania station, Professor w. A. Buck
bout, tho botanist, gives some informa-
ton relative to the habits of this trco.
II IS said the chestnut caunot DO grown
successfully oil heavy clays, wet soils or
limestone land. 1t prefers loose, sandy
soils, or such as have been derived from
the decomposition of states or shales. In
Ohio it is found native on the sand ridges
which border on tho lake shore aud on
tho shady hillside of some of tho hill
counties in the southern portion OF tho
State, but never on tho limcstones which
eo'Si sno "os'cih ny" soutuWcslcrH por-
tions of tho State, nor can it be cultivated
in this region with any prospect of sue
cess.
Tho chestnut grows readily from tho
seed, but great care must be exercised
not to permit the nuts to become dry.
They should be planted rs soon as gath
cred, or else must be kept in moist sand
until ready to plant. If possible plant
in tho place where the tree is to stand,
as the chestnut has long tap-root which
renders transplanting difficult. -Nep

Water-Washed Smoke.

A smoke and fumes annihilator is now
being manufactured in Leeds, England,
and it is reported to have worked Salts
factorily under n variety of conditions.
1t consists of an exhaust fan and a wash
ing machine and tank. The fan draws
the smoke into the tank, where the
water, beaten into spray by paddle
blades, washes out all carbon and dust
held in suspension, and absorbs the sui
phur and other gases soluble in water,
leaving only pure white vapor to cs-
cape into the chimney. The cost of the
apparatus is not great, and it is calcu-
lated that tho residuum collected
which may be used as fertilizer or for
electrical and other purposes of higher
grade--may be made to repay the ex-
pense.-NeU Yorb Journal.

Uses of tho Bnyonet.

"Those painters of battle scenes make
some queer mistakes sometimes" said
Major Harlow, referring during n casual
conversation to the war scenes on cxhi-
bition in the art gallery. "Whcn men
are shooting Mt each other in battle
they don't have their bayoncts fixed on
their guns. 1t would be almost impos-
sible to load if they did. During a
fight soldiers bayonct is supposed to
be in his scabbprd. Bayonets were used
only for makifg charge or in repclling
one, but ncvir in battle where much
shooting was done. These pictures you
see of troops marching with fixed bayo-
nets are all wrong. The bayoncts, how
ever, are quite handy. AS cooking
utensil in camp lifc it served better
purpose than in the baHlc. 1t made an
excellent ca1dlc holder by simply stick
ing the shasp end in the ground and
putting theIcandlc in the hole made for
the muzzle of the gun. 1t could also be
used for frying bacon. More than one
soldier has fastened piece of fat meat
to the end of his bayohct, held tho meat
in the fire with outttretched arm, and
shaded his face from tho heat with his
other hand, while che bacon cooked over
the coals. Something l. when the weather
was damp we would grease our guns all
over with hog fat, fik the bayonets and
then jab them in the ground and let
them stand upright. In this position

very handy in camp but did not seem to
