SAW MRS. CLEVELAND.
A Curiosity Seekers Chase After the
Preside nt's Wife.

Women adopt all sorts Of devices
for getting a good look at Mrs. Cleve-
land. On fine days the mistress OF
the White House generally takes n
ride in the family phaeton, accom-
panied by her babies and the nurses.
In the afternoon, between and 4, II
the sun is shining, she goes out in
the victoria, accompanied either by
her husband or friend. Women,
young and old, have discovered this
habit OF Mrs. Cleveland :, and are
beginning TO lie in wait for her to
catch her as she comes out on the
front portico to enter the carriage.
There is no privacy for inmates OF
the White House, and SO when Mrs.
Cleveland goes riding she is obliged
to walk through the public vestihule
and across the public portico. A day
or two ago bevy of schoolgirls
Joined the waiting group on the por-
tico, and when Mrs. Cleveland came
out she Was obligeo TO run the gaunt-
let. When she returned, an hour or
two later, funny thing happened.
4 well-dressed, good-looking. middle
aged woman, evidently n stranger in
the city, was passing the street gate
when carriage turned into the cir
cular drive of the White House
grounds. The quick-wtted sight
seer instantly surmised that the occu-
pants were Mrs. Cleveland and her
babies. She saw chance TO accom-
plish her long-felt desire of getting o
good look at the President wife, and
she did not miss it. The race was
long one, and she knew she coNlc
not win it unless something hap
pened to detain Mrs. Cleveland aftei
she arrived under the porte cochere.
Lifting her clothes i'm both hands she
started up the circular pathway along
the drive at breakneck speed.
The passers-by and the spectators
at the door applauded, and, perspir-
ing and painting she reached the
steps just in time, for Mrs. Cleve-
land had stopped to give an
order to the coachman, and the
energetic lady was enabled TO plant
herself where she could stare the
Presidents wife in the face for at
least ten seconds, and could also see
the babies as they were lifted from
the carriage by the nurses and car
ried into the house.
As Mrs Cleveland disappeared in
the vestibule, gentleman standing
by said, admiringly, to the female
sprinter, "Well, you made it,"
"Yes," she said, mopping her face,
folks from my part of the country
generally do.
But she forgot to say what part OF
the country she came from.- Wash

Could You Buy Nails This Wsy7

An old farmer came TO town last
week and told a merchant he wanted
some nails. The merchant told him
he would sell him forty pounds OF
twenty-pennies 10 the dollar, thirty
five pounds Of twelve-pennies TO the
dollar and thirty pounds OF ten-pen-
nies 10 the dollar. The farmer told
the merchant he would take dollar 3
worth OF the three kinds, and wanted
twice as many tens as twelyes, and
twice as many twelves as twenties.
The merchant figured all over two
sheets Of paper and then failed 10
work the sum. He then said 10 the
farmer If you will work the sum
will give you the old nails" so
the farmer took the pencil, solved
the problem for the merchant,
weighed up the nails, threw them on
his back and went home laughing

BRITISH agricultural returns for
1898 show the remarkable fact that
during last year some 150, 900 acres
of land in Great Britain were with
drawn from cultivation and turned
into pasture. This is spoken of rs
an actual abandonment of cultiva-
tion" of this area. The main point
deduced is that Great Britain is rap
idly ceasing to be "A wheat-producing
country. Comparing the present
wheat area with that of 1878 the de-
! cline is 800, 600 acres. The returns
also show that fruit farming and
market gardening are largely increas-
ing. In 1898 there were 90, ,4S7 acres
in this kind of cultivation, as against
81, l4S acres in 1892. Argument has
| been largely made Of late that If
English farmers would give their at
tention to truck farming and fruit
raising they might retrieve their al
most ruined fortunes. They cannot
| compete with America and India in
wheat growing and they lose more
money every year. At the same time
! immense quantities Of fruit, vegeta-
! bles, butter, cheese, eggs and even
milk are imported from abroad. But
ter and eggs come in ship loads even
from as far as Australia. Last year
butter, cheese and eggs alone, to the
value of f25, 500, 600, were imported
! into Great Britain. The economists
are seeking TO learn why this splen-
did income cannot be secured for
British pockets.

There is time and plenty for every

''He that riseth early gets nowhere. "
Few hours of labor and long hours of
rest is the motto that rules all, and
the negroes are quite in their element.
Here the ambitions of the busiest
minds must subside and bewildering
distraction must give way to rest

any Of that abject poverty and mis-

manifested among the poorest OF our
States. With a climate at all times
pleasant, soil capable of rendering
three crops annually, and surround
ing waters alive with n wondrous
variety of fish, the very poorest have

fertilization OF plants practised until

them and planted ii. 1t was observed
that IL never came to perfection, ms
the insects which would naturally
fertilize the plant were not acclimat-

a Singular Statemen

Thoughtful and observant persons
do not need a demonstration that the
senses are less keen i'm woman than
i'm man. Their own experience has
revealed that natural law. But since
we are not all thoughtful or observ-
ant, the experiments Of Professors
Nichols and Brown are welcome.
These American psychologists have
begun to experiment with the sense
OF smell. They took four substan-
ces most strongly odoriferous-es-
sence of Glove, Of garlic, Of lemon
and prussic acid. Each Of these they
diluted with pure water in growing
proportion, filling set OF bottles at
every degree of the scale, until the
last set represented one part Of the
tsst substance to 1900, 600 parts Of
water They then shuffled the bot
ties so TO speak, and called in forty
four men and thirty-eight women,
chos.n from the various ranks OF life I;
all young and healthy. These repre-
sentatives OF either sex were instruct
ed to re-arrange the bottles, guided
by the sense OF smell, putting each
set of tinctures by itself-garlic with
garlic, lemon with lemon, etc. To
put results shortly, the women were
not in it. None of them could trace
prussic acid beyond the dilution Of
20, 600 parts TO one, while most Of the
men traced it up TO 10000 parts.
Three OF the latter actually passed
the extreme limit, ,dentifying prus-
sic acid at a single part in 1900, 900.
Beyond 100, 600 parts, all the women
failed to recognize essence Of lemon !;
all the men detected il at 10000.
This proportion represents their aver
age superiority all around.- Pail

Yes, over the pals. After we had

Fred.
