WAS PREPARED TO DIE.
nut When tho Time Came His visaou

nut When tho Time Camo Hts vistou
Failed to Como Truc.
Some time since, says the New York |
Telegram, a certain farmer in the mid
die of this state, an eccentric old fell
low the neighbors said, had vision.
Somebody appeared TO him, n spirit,
hobgoblin or what not, and informed
him that he had only few months TO
live. The date fixed was in Novem-
Der.
The farmer tooh the matter very
seriously, but he had no fears. He
told his friends that he was about to
depart and began to get ready. He
paid all his debts, which Is more than
even death can induce every one to do,
and offered his farm utensils and his
stock for sale. lie wanted to clean
things up handsomely, ns every hon
est man should do, and leave no en-
tanglements behind him. Among 9TH
er things to be disposed Of were two
cows, but as he wanted to live COM
fortably while he did live he concluded
to hold on to those cows until the last
moment
Oddly enough, now that the time OF
his exit is close nt hand. he has had an
other vision. A new set Of ghosts or
hobgoblins havo appeared to him and
informed him that arrangements have
been made to allow him to stay in this
wicked world little longer. He was
rather relieved at the postponement Of
his funeral, but still felt degree Of
embarrassment,f for pretty nearly every
thing he had, wagons, horses and har-
nesses, ralses, hoes, axes, some cords OF
wood behind the house, had all been
got rid of, and the farm looked as
though it had just been abandoned.
The old fellow Is a bit riled, how
ever. "This vision business" he said
the other day, "has cost mo DEAR" and
he has been heard to use some rather
strong expressions about hobgoblins
in general and this particular hobgob-
lin that seems to have been playing q
practical joke on him.
He is specially glad that he didn't
sell those COWS. They are about all he
has left, but they will serve as o nu-
cleus for the things he will have to
buy in order to run the farm. When a
stranger comes along nowadays and
says he would like to take peep at
those cows with view to purchase
them, the farmer comes as close to pro-
family as country church deacon
ever gets. He thinks the swear words.
but bites his tongue and rcmnrks that
he hasn't any cows for sale, but is
thinking of buying q herd and going
into the dairy business.
The moral of this il that hobgoblins
are very useful creatures in their way;
that when they tell you to pay your
debts you had better follow their ad-
vice, but if they tell you you arc going
to die you had better take camomile
tea and send for the doctor. At any
rate, don't part with your cows.

recent viceroy that he first remitted
home his salary at the above rate, maxi
ing out of his e25, 900 R2, ,0s8. He then
had the total OF ear, ,OsS remitted back
again, making on this transaction cit
per 210O, or g4,580. The total profit on
the two transactions was thus e0,87S
per annum, and ON this sum, am told,
his lordship, being noblcman of eco
nomical habits, pretty well lived. He
was thus enabled to save an enormous
sum, estimated from ESQ. 900 to R75, 600,
during his tenure Of Office, and 1t is as
serted that at the end Of his time he
remitted the whole of this to England
at the privileged rate, making some
thing between $4,000 and R8. 1000 more
ON that transaction.

a gold.laccd person got on a crowded
Brooklyn trolley car and hung bass
drum over the brslse-handle, says the
New York World. The car lurched
and the man next to him stepped on
the gold-laced persons toes. and, being
thus introduced, began II conversation
about the drum.
''IIeap of bother carrying drum
around, isn't it?"
"Ycs, but not so much as double
bass, one of these big bass fiddlos, You
know-bull fiddles."
Are they much trouble?"
"Well, they are this much trouble,
that they won't let you get on car in
Brooklyn with one. In New York You
have to get n permit to carry one, just
the same as If 1t was n concealed
weapon. Once, here in Brooklyn. I'd
have to take carriage for it. But now
j belong to q double bass club"
"Hnvc pretty good times, suppose?
You get together and smoke and have
some beer and play solos on your double
basses."
The gold-laced man looked down
and laughed silently. Well. it is kind
Of funny to think of lot of men sit
ting around and playing solos about
two octaves below the singing voice.

NO." said he nfter bit. "All the
fellows that play the double bass be-
long to this clab and pay two dollars a
year dues. They have lot of instru-
ments and every place they have to 60
to play there is n closet containing a
bass, to which only members of the
clubs have keys. There is n book in
the closet. and every time fellow uses
the bass he marks down his name.
They have them in all the halls and
theatcra. and in the summer time on
nll the bargcs and excursion steamers.
The two dollars from each member
goes for repairs"
So that's the reason why you can't
remember having seen double bass
on the street cars, no matter how hard
you try.

ELePAAnTiNE LIFE.
Steps to he Taken to Prevent Its Wautou
Destruction.


Destruction.
One Of the pressing questions Of the
day in Africa relates to the preserve
tion of the elephant, which will be-
come extinct there ut no distant date
unless means are taken to stop the In
discriminate slaughter now going on.
There has been q prevalent notion that
the African elephant is inferior to his
Indian cousin in intelligence and docil-
ity, but it does not seem to be founded
on solid observation. 1t is now pointed
out that the Romans and Carthaginians
used the African beast to good purpose,
and Mr.. P. l.. Sclater, of the London
Geological society, declares that they
have had African elephants in their
gardens for more than twenty years
and have found them quite rs intelli-
gent as those of the Asiatic species,
although perhaps not quite as docile.
A young male African now about four
teen years of agc is daily engaged dur
Ing the summer months In carrying the
children and other visitors about the
garden and there has never been an
accident with him. Mr.. Sclater ex-
presses the opinion that the African
elephant should be preserved as the
proper beast of burden to open up the
trade routes in the interior of the Afri-
can continent, and suggests that q
kheddah Of Indian elephants and their
attendants be transported to the east
African coast and that the Indian ele-
plants be set to work to capture and
tame their African brethren. 1t is
noted, moreover, that Gen. Gordon,
just before the fall of Khartoum. wrote
o letter in which he strongly advocated
the domestication and use of the Afri-
can elephant.

A PetIcss People.

The curious fact has been mentioned
by Sir Samuel Baker that a negro has
never been known to tame al elephant
or any wild animal. The elephants
employed by the ancient Carthaginians
and Romans were trained by Arabs
and Carthaginians, never by negroes.
Sir Samuel was distressed by the utter
lack OF pet animals among the children
In Africa; and he often offered rewards
for young elephants, but never suo-
ceedcd in getting one alive.

Moore, Charlie Bagley and Lewis Colgan.-
Florence was Il great sufferer, nearly the
whole OF her life being passed in commissions
which would draw her body backwards until
it seemed she would break in twain. Medi-
cine was inadequate for her relief and it can
truthfully be said that not one ray of sun
shine entered into the life OF this little child
of afflictiGn. Mrs. j. Wilson Moore per-
formed on the organ at the church and at the
grave Miss Eva Curtiss sang beautiful Val
ley OF Eden in voice that was clear and
musical, thrilling the ears of the hearers with
, her sweet melody.

The Grain Outlook.


The estimate of C. A. Pillshury, of Mi nnea-
polls, one of the leading millers of the North
west is that the present years crop Of Ameri-
can wheat will be only sufficient for home
consumption and seed, combining the export
able surplus to the stocks carried over from
last year. II this estimate is correct there
should certainly be reasonable advance in
the price of wheat, as the foreign demand
will in all probability absorb our entire sur
plus, whether it be much or little.
If the wheat crop is as light as Mr.. Pillsbury
predicts it to be the corn crop should be uti-
lized for foreign shipment either directly or
in the form of pork and beef fattened on this
cereal. There is heavy movement in corn to
the seaboard at present and the crop prospect
was never better. The hot weather which
has produced hail storms and tornadoes in
the corn States is the best of corn weather,
and while the destruction covered only a
limited area, the corn belt is very extensive
one. Unless some unforeseen calamity oc
ours the corn crop will be large enough to
make up all deficiencies in the wheat crop.
This being the case the important thing will
be to devise some means Of making corn take
the place of wheat in our export trade. II
will pay the business men OF the country tC
give special attention to corn this year. II
is the chief American staple every year. We
should be learning to utilize it more fully.
