A TRUE GENTLEMAN.
George William Curtis Treatment Of an
 Ambitious Young Reporter.

George William Curtis Treatment Of an
 Ambitious Young Reporter.
 Some sixteen or seventeen years ago ] was 2 reporter on one of the Chicago papers Ibad only been little while in the business. and was both green aud ambitious. Now it happened that part of my work was to visit the various hotels every evening in the search for personal items, the arrival of well Known people and the like. It was not work of the highest order, but put my heart in it and really think that did it we'll One evening was standing in the office of certain hotel, which for the purposes of this story need not be pre- cisely identified. when 1 observed a handsome, distinguished looking gentle man enter. walk up to the desk and register,
 As he turned to say word or two to inc elork l stepped up behind him and saw what he had written on the register It was George William Curtis, New York. knew that Mr. Curtis was advertised to lecture on the following evening, and it occurred to me that it would be good thing if could get an interview for my paper with such Q dis tiEpuished man. You see what an ardent beginner m newspaper work was. In fact, was full of western en- thusiasm, and l was not lacking in cheek So when Mr Curtis turned away from the desk l summoned up all my courage-andit it did require consider ablc--and accosted him.
 MT. Curtis, said 1, ''l am a reporter for The --, and thought that perhaps you might have something to say that would be of interest to the people of 1 Chicago."
 He turned and looked at me in the kindliest way. shall never forget the geniality and good nature that beamed upon pe from his eyes and his whole face nor tho answer which he made to my suggestion.
 "Ah,r said he with the most beauti- ! ful smile tliat ever saw, "then you and belong to the same profession"
 What could have been more thought ful and considerate to the raw young re- | porter! It has always seemed to me that there could not have been anything said better calculated to relieve my embar- I rassment and make me feel at home. At the same time l never could get rid of the impression that my answer was al most as good as his remark.
 "Yes, saAl l, "Mr. Curtis, you are at one end of it and am at the other"
 Of course he laughed right heartily at my sally, and instantly we seemed on 1 the best of terms. Well, all he had to tell me was that he was on lecture tour and that he would speak in Chicago the next evening. He was very willing to tell me where he was going--l sup pose he saw no objection to advertising himself in ikat way--and after few minutes pleasant chat took my leave, MT. Curtis giving me most gracious good night" The result was about a sticlyful ill The ------ the next morning.
 That was the only time ever saw George William Curtis in my life. It is Q matter of deep regret to me, now that he is gone, that l never went to hear | him lecture. New York Tribune

"The Political Dos.."

IDuane Mowry In Journal of Pellties.l
 a Tho political boss is no longer an un- known quantity in American politics. The patient masses have been slow to recognize the unpleasant fact and have endeavored to explain, account for, and at times even apologize for his obnox- ious presence, They have so far failed to produce single satisfactory rnason fer his existence in the practical affairs of government. The motives of the political boss are never lofty and disinterested They are essentially low and selfish Usually he is in politics for revenue only. Sometimes he is in quest of political self-aggrandizcment. He is never there solely and exclusive ly for his country's good. He has no laudable ambition, no devotion to priR- ciplc, no self-sacrifcing patriotism. He is at all times, and under all condi tons and circumstances, the constant and abiding eonservator of his own dearest interests. And to secure them, he will hesitate ut nothing, It Is true that he is shrewd aud crafty fellow, fertile in resources, interruptions in methods hypecritical in motives, with out integrity, without large capacity, without honor. Why, then, should we tolerate him Is there need for him !? There can be but one answer It is Q trayesty on the history of these latter day political conditions of America that such fungus growth has been allowed to exist and flourish He has no prop CT place in orr midst. Ills is foreign to the spirit of our institutions I'm prove public opinion, demand better requirements for public servants, and thus make the life of the political boss impossible in free America.

The relative merits of sweet cream and sour cream for making butter were tested last year in series of elaborate experiments at the Iowa Agricultural College. Sweet cream, fresh from the separator, was thoroughly mixed and then accurately divided in two equal parts by weight; one of these parts was churned immediately at g degs, F., the other was ripened at 60 degs, and then churned at 59 degs, The butter milk was tested for fat, and the butter was analysed In the nine tests the yield os butter from sour cream was 8 per cent larger than from sweet cream. The sour cream usually churned quick or thep the sweet, and the butter con tained 2-l00 of per cent more caseiu. The losses of fat in churmng, washing, aAd working were less with sour than with sweet cream. In nine trials the average difference was nearly 10 per loo lbs. of butter made. After being kept five months the sweet cream but ter acquired somewhat of tue flavor and aroma of ripened cream butter, and was in better condition. Scientific American.

The new armored cruiser "New York" on her preliminary trial trip reached speed of 19'5 knots an hour in Delaware Bay, and increased 1t to 20'5 knots on reaching deeper water
 This is a remarkable speed for Q new ship, whose engines have not been run ming long enough to reach their best condition. It has been exceeded by the Spanish ''Reina Regsnte" and the Argentine "25 de Maio, both light cruisers, but has never been squaled by an armorsd or partially armored ship, or by one of so great weight aad displacement as the New York.

A City of Mexico dispatch says: A sensation was created when the Com mittee of Ways and Means of Congress, in reporting the budget, announced that S42, ,5OO, 900 would be needed for for the Government expenses for the coming year, In order to raise this they suggested m export duty on hemp, coffee, hides, skias and ores. There was some consternation when this was read, and there is a good deal of opposition to it. President Diaz, it is understood, is opposed to it very strongly, and will probably defeat it, though the consensus of opinion is that it will go through This means big blow to Mexican trade in the United States.

 Things That Affect the Hypnotic state,
 The differences in the climates appear to have great influence on hypnotic sus- ceptibility, Southerners and altogether those who have been exposed to the tropical heat are much more easily in- luenced than those who live in the tenn perate or frigid zones. Hypnosis not only appears sooner in the tropical eli mates, but it is usually deeper, and the more complicated conditions of the states invariably appear immediately. The hypnotic susceptibility does not de- pend on these circumstances alone, There arc many other conditions which we must find partly outside of the indi- gidual and partly within. It is neces- Eary to especially notice the different tempers of mind, such as delight. sor- COW, etc,
 What also works against coming Into the hypnotic state is overexertion, either mentally or bodily, an empty or over loaded stomach, excessive use of certain nourishing substances, liquors, strong spices, coffee or tea. All these condi- tions more or less prevent or disturb the coming hypnosis. Furthermore, out ward influences, such as temperature dress, place of residence and surround ings, should all be considered. The room ia which experiments are to be performed must neither be too warm nor ! too cold Chicago Herald.

good rain Sunday morning. 1t extended
from Wichita all the way to Texas, and
was especially good between Caldwell and
Hennessy. whore it was most needed. Ii
noursd down in torrents at Pond Creek,
and caused a very noticeable raise in the
Salt Fork, SO much that teams were hard-
" able to cross it, The settlers were jubi-
laut. as it prevented repetition OF the
dust storms that were SO hurtful on ac-
count of the discouraging effects they had
on strangers to the climate of that coun-
try. They naturally thought that dust
storms prevailed all the time. and didn't
want to believe, apparently. that they are
very rare occurrences.
