Using English Coins For weights.

Many are the uses of money, but Mr..
Joseph Newton, late of the Royal mint,
points out there is at least one use which
Is not generally known. This is the
availability of coins for letter weighing
when the ordinary postal weights do moi
happen to be at hand. Commencing
with the sovereign, this weighs q very
safe quarter ounce, for foreign postage,
two equaling, of course, half ounce,
and four one ounce. The next denolni-
nation, the crown piece, is just on the
right side of one ounce In weight, and
the half crown of half an ounce. Five
separate shillings, or two shillings and a
sixpence, for the ounce and half ounce.
will do as well.
Descending from gold and silver to
hard working bronze, it is found that
either three penny pieces, or five half
pence, or 10 farthings will respectively
make up one ounce. Another popularity
in regard to the halfpenny is noted by
MIR. Newton. That is its diameter, which
is precisely one inch, so that by using it
as measure it will be seen that l2 half.
pence laid fiat and in touch are equal
to one foot and 81 to one yard.-London

ALTOONA, Pa, Sept. 1.-Shortly after the

them until the majority of them made

HISTORIC FORT HILL.
Calhoun's Old Home Now tho Site OF an
Agricultural College.

Caihoun's Old Home Now tho sito OF an
agricultural College.
John Caldwell Calhoun is still n pow.
er in South Carolina. though 40 years
have passed since his death, and the
proposition to utilize his old home for
educational purposes excited all the poll
ticians in the state. Fort Hill, as the
highland estate was named. is in the
loveliest foothill region of South Caro-
llna-that Is. on terrace of the Blue
Ridge and Oh the northwestern border
of the state. 1t is about two miles from
the Richmond and Danville railroad.
The summer climate is remarkably cool
for that latitude, and the district is
among the most healthful in the world.
Calhoun was born in Abbeville dis
trict March 1S, 1882. and died in Wash
lngton city March 81. 1850, but his home
during his working life was mt Fort Hill.
and there were written nearly all his
philosophical and well considered works.
Thomas G. Clemson became owner of
the place by marriage with Calhouns
daughter. He was at one time charge
d'atfaires at Brussels and man of no

htical activities indicating bright fu-
ture, but later he became recluse and
after the death of his wife lived as a
hermit at Fort Hill. He left the plan
tation to the state on condition that an
agricultural college should be estab-
Gshed there and named for him.
The result is the Clemson Agricultural
and Mechanical college, which was
formally opened but few days ago. Its
history is curious, as it gave occasion
for one of the hottest fights in Carolina
politics. In 1886 Captain B. r. Tillman,
thena farmer of Edgefeld county, began
to agitate for n state institution to edu-
cate farmers SONS. In 1888 Mr.. Glenn
son died, and the fight over the accent
ance of his gift split the old parties
badly. Benjamin Tillman won, how
ever, and soon after his election as gov
ernor the gift was accepted and work
begun.
The old Calhoun mansion is frame
structure painted white, with blinds of
vivid green. The spacious verandas.
r'ith big round stone columns, give
fine southern and ancestral look. which
is greatly increased by the grove of oaks
and an avenue of cedars leading up from
the entrance to the grounds. 1t is very
nearly as Calhoun left it and is occupied
by one of the officials of thenew college,
except that large section of it has been
reserved for n Calhoun museum. The
college quilting contains dorrnitories for
800 young men, with all the best appli-
ances for agricultural and mechanical
labor and instruction.

Hundreds of Men, Women, thildren and

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1.-The steamer
China, just arrived from Hong Kong and
yokohama, brings the following advices:
Very sad accounts of blood and famine
come from north China, and the distress
among the people is terrible. In Hok-
chang men, women, children and cattle
are dying of starvation by hundreds. and
as many us thirty fatal cases of cholera
are reported rs taking place in the city
daily.
While the Dutch steamer Rajah Atjes,
trading between Penang and the east
coast of Acheen, was making trip recently
the Chinese passengers rose and attacked
the crew. They killed the English cap
tain and mate and twenty others, who
were presumably Asiatic They also
wounded fifteen others of the passengers
and crew. After this slaughter the Chinese
left the steamer in boats, taking with them
several captives. The steamer afterward
fell into Dutch hands

SSo3TTnErN FARMERS ALARMED.
They Appeal to tho Legislature to Tide
Them Over the Dull Times.

Ahchi OEer the Dulk Times.
COLUMBIA, S. c., Sept 1.-The farmers
are becoming alarmed at the likelihood of
having to market their cotton ut present
prices, and today the Mechanicsville AL
lance unanimously adopted tie following:
Whereas. the money sharks and gold
bugs have contracted the volume of money
so that there is practically no money in
the country to move the cotton crop, and
whereas congress does not seem to intend
to give us necessary relief in time to
save us from bankruptcy therefore be it
resolved:
First, that we earnestly appeal to the
governor of South Carolina to call an ex-
ira session of the legislature, not later than
Sept. 10, to pass II stay law on all debts
falling due on or before Nov Is, so that
we may be enabled to pay our debts with
out bankrupting ourselves and starving
our wives and children.
Second. that under our present condi-
tons there is no way whereby we can meet
our demands for money to pay our debts
without sacrificing our homes and prop
erty, which we do not propose to be forced
to DO. Take our lives, but do not starve
our wives and children.
