PLANTED
The Seeds by Firing Them From
n Cannon.


Il Cannon.
Alexander NaSmyth, the land
scape painter, was a man fruitful IN
exnedients. To his mind the fact
that a thing could not be done IN the
ordinary manner was reason why
it should be given up His son re-
lates the following Interesting ex
ample of his ingenuity:
1.-THE Duke of Athol," says he,
consulted him as to some improve
ments which he desired to make IN
his woodland scenery near Dunkelo-
Among other things, certain rocky
crag needed to be planted with
trees to relieve the grim barrenness
of it's appearance. The question was
how to do it, as it was Impossible
for any man to climb the crag, IN
order to set seeds or plants in the
clefts of the rock.
"a happy idea struck my father.
Having observed in front of the
castle a pair of small cannons, used
for firing salutes on great days, It
occurred to him to turn them 10 ac-
count. A tinsmith in the village
was ordered to make number Of
canisters with covers. The CAMS
tiers were filed with all sorts of
suitable tree seeds. The cannon
was loaded and the canisters We're
fired up against the high face of the
rock. They burst and scattered the
seed in all directions. Some years
after, when my father revisited the
place. he was delighted to find that
his scheme of planting by artillery
had proved successful; the trees
were f1ourishing in all the recesses
of the Cliff

A GERM
And Not Seeds to Blame for Aps
pendicitis.

pendic1t1S.
Pittsburg Dispatch.
Those people who, through fear Of
becoming victims of that fashionable
disease, appendicitis, have been deny
ing themselves of the luscious grape
this fall said a well-known physician
yesterday, will, no doubt, feel that
they have needlessly deprived them
selves of a great deal of pleasure when
they are told that, according to the
latest scientific data upon the subject,
seeds are not the cause of the much
dreaded disease. 1t has, up to within
a short time ago, always been con-
sidered most dangerous to eat grapes,
cherries or other fruits where there
would be the least danger of swallow
ing the seed or stone. 1t was supposed
that the seed or stone entering that
troublesome and superfiuous little YER
inform appendage would become fast
ened, and in time produce an in
Illumination which might prove de-
cidedly serious.
"Of course, we are making progress
in all things, and medicine is no ex-
ception. Now, thanks to the better I'M
derstanding of the germ theory, people
can eat grapes, cherries. raspberries
and all other kinds of fruit without
the least fear. For latest research has
proved that appendicitis is not always
caused by the seeds, but by germ.
Just what produces this germ is yet to
be found out. but it has been positively
discovered that the grape seeds, cher
nv stones and the like are not essential
causes of the disease. The disease, 1t
has been ascertained, is an infectious
one but Investigations have not been
pursued to the point where it can be
said just what causes the Infection
The germ is one of the bacillus coli.

A Chance That 1t May Be Pre-.
scented This Week.

a Cn2nCe nat III May be Hre1
scented This Week.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-This prom
ises to be a busy and important week in
the house. The programme arranged
by the committee On rules before the
departure Of Speaker Crisp for Ashe-
Vile, n. c. where he expects to remain
a week or more), cOntemplates the con-
sideration OF the public building bills
on the calendar, to be followed by the
Indian appropriation bills now under
consideration, the Sundry civil and the
agricultural appropriations bills. The
committee on rules, after much urging,
decided to bring in a cloture rule to
secure a vote on the bill for new pub
lie building at Chicago to cost 81, 900, COO.
Two hours will be given tomorrow for
the consideration of the measure, after
which the vote will be taken. The i'm.
provements for the New York public
buildings are provided for in the sundry
civil bill. The other public building
bills. six in number, are as follows:
Newport, KY, 100000; Cumberland,
Md: 5000; South Omaha, Neb., $780,
600: Paterson,N. j.. S250, 900; Brookline.
Mass, S75, 900, and PottSYllle, Pa, S69,-
900. The programme as arranged for
the week may be subject to change in
case Mr.. Syringe, chairman of the CON-
mittee on banking and currency, de-
cideS before the end of the week TO
bring forward his new measure. He
has been in constant consultation with
Secretary Carlisle for the past week,
and is very Sanguine that concessions
can be made to the silver men which
will induce them 10 withdraw their op-
position. On yesterday he expressed
the opinion that he would bring for
ward the modified bill this week
and that it would pass. This
opinion. however, is not generally
shared by the Democratic leaders of the
house. most of whom do not hesitate to
say that they believe all hope of cur
rency legislation at this session is dead.
1t is also possible that the resolution for
the Impeachment of Judge Kicks may
be before the house before the end of
the week, but the fact that the commit
tee on Judiciary decided Friday to re-
open the case is interpreted to mean a
delay which will render any attempt to
push the cash against MIN at this ses-
sion abortive. Next Saturday, by spe-
ciaI order, will be set aside for eulogies
on the late Senator Colquitt. of Georgia.
1t is not improbable that Mr. Boutelle
will attempt to secure consideration OF
his Hawaiian resolution, and thus de-
bate on this subject will be precipitated
in some form.

NOT FICTION.
What Was Deemed a Fabulous
Statement Proves q Truth.

Statement Proves u Truth.
Pittsburg Dispatch.
In the old books on natural history
there was description of the way in
which the Surinam toad Matched it's
eggs, and it was generally read with a
smile OF incredulity. 1t was asserted
that the female no sooner began to
deposit eggs than the male toad picked
them up, one by one, and placed them
on her back. The eggs then in some
way caused the skin to be so affected
that they sank into it. each in a separ-
ate pit, causing the skin of the back to-
look very much like a closed honey
comb. AT this stage of the process the
female went with her burden into the
water. 1t was further alleged that
after eighty-two days had elapsed it
would be found that not only had the
eggs in the cells or pits been Matched,
but that the subsequent changes had
progressed so far that no tadpoles, but
perfect, though very small, toads vera
issuing from the cells.
Incredulity regarding such a strange
method of continuing existence was
general among specialists even until
between 10 a. m. and noon of Dec. 1.
Then something was observed at the
London Zoo which transformed doubt
or disbelief into firm faith, or belief,
rather. Some time in November the
Geological Society of London obtained
ten specimens of this toad (Pipa-Amer-
icana from Surinam. At the date
given in the next to the last sentence
one of the batrachians was seen SWIM
ming about in a large water tank
in the reptile house of the Zoo, with
a perfectly evenly-colored area, about
two inches square of its back, in
which, at regular and uniformly dis
tanced spaces, were a colony of from
50 to 100 eggs, about a quarter of an
inch in height and a quarter of an inch
apart" This was the first opportunity
afforded British naturalists of verify
ing for themselves from living animal
what had been deemed formerly .
mere fabulous statement.

QUEUES IN CHINA.
1t Is Merely the Prevailing Style
and Is Not Demanded by Law.

cit is to the Tartars who conquered
China several centuries ago that we
are indebted for this much discussed
queue" said Wing Lock, a promi-
nent Chinaman, to a writer for the
Pittsburg Dispatch. you hear
great deal about the laws of China re-
lating to the wearing Of queues; how
a Chinaman cannot return to his coun-
try without his queue, and all that.
Well it is all bosh. The wearing of
a queue is no more required by law
than your gentlemen wearing whis-
kers. 1t is a custom and style, and
a Chinaman realizes some truth in the
saying that you might as well be out
of the earth as out of style. A China
man retains his queue simply because
if he should ever return to his native
land he would not care to go about
among his friends and make himself
conspicuous by such a radical depart
ure from the style of so many millions
of people. Strange, too, that the Chi
naman should hold to his queue with
such tenacity when it was originally
imposed upon him as a mark of SUBJ
lection. When the Tartars came over
and set a ruler on our throne they de-
creed that every Chinaman should
course, this was at first CALLING to
them, for they could not see or touch
their plated hair without being re-
minded of their conquest. But time
heals all wounds, and it was not long
before the Cinnamon began to cherish
the marks of subsection as good
fashion or style. This was also true
about the style of dress the Cinnamon
now wear. 1t is in the queue that a
Chinaman wears his badge of mourn
ing. When a Chinamans father or
mother dies there is sent to him, as
to all other members of the family,
colored carriers. These are not garters
as we understand, but sort of rib
bons, white, green or blue, which are
plated with the hair. White, green
and blue are the colors of mourning,
while the ribbon that is ordinarily
plated in the queue is black. These
blue and green garters are worn i'll
the hair for one year after the death
of parent"

Showed Indecent Haste.

There was something very amusing
about the manner in which Lodge and
FRYE and Boutelle and the other Yankee
regulators of all the world besides them
selves jun ped in and OYershOt the
mark. If they had waited few hours
they would have waited forever. At
tie very moment they were denouncing
the administration and charging the
murder Of young Carter up to Cleveland
and Gresham, the state department was
giving out to The press a dispatch from
Minister Willis which completely upset
the Republican contention and left
these gentlemen sprawling in the dust.
Minister wills writes that President
Dole expressed his qualification that
no national ship had been iii port dur
ing this disturbance" This one fact Is
worth more than an hour OF Mr.. Bou-
telle's bOmbast or Mr.. Frye's mock in
dignation. 1t is clear to every one here
who wishes TO know the truth that the
Hawaiian government has been anxious
to demonstrate to the world its
ability to take care of itself
That government realizes it was called
into existence i'll peculiar man
ner. 1t accepts the fact that it is
charged with existing without the sup
port Of the people of Hawaii. 1t knows
the claim has been made that it would
fall to pieces if lett to its own resources.
So anxious has the Dole government
been to prove to the world its strength
that even Admiral Walker, in his
famous report, admitted the government
wished 40 be left for a time entirely
alone" This was corroborated by Min
lister Willis, who wrote the department
under date of Sept. % last, that when
r petition asking for retention of the
Philadelphia al Honolulu was prepared
the Dole minister of foreign affairs.
Mr. Hatch, said to Mr.. Willis he re-
GREETED the petition had been prepared.
"aS those he represented welcomed the
opportunity 10 prove to the world that
they were able to take care of them
selves" Following this, Minister
Thurston, representing Hawaii at the
capital, has repeatedly indicated to the
state department that there was no
need Of keeping an American war ship
at Honolulu, and now publicly ex-
presses his pride in the fact that his
government has demonstrated the very

The Psalms.

At Essen, Germany, in the arch
ives Of the Munsterkirche, manu-
script Of the Psalms has been discov-
cred, which, if it belongs, as it is
believed, to the middle Of the ninth
century, is the oldest Latin version
of the Psalms we have. 1t contains
nearly all the Psalms in Latin in
three columns, while in the fourth col
umn is Greek text written in Latin
characters. The manuscript seems
to be written by the school Of scribes
established by Charlemagne.

THEIR ATTITUDE AMUSING.
AND SPRAWL IN THE DUST,
The Secretary Of State Not
Troubled by Their In
sane Maunderings.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-Again the
storm is raging around The head of
Gresham. The Republicans are using
the latest Hawaiian episode. The little
scrap between lot of half-breedS and
natives on one side and the government
forces on The other, as weapon TO beat
out the brains of the secretary OF state.
The Republicans delight i'll this work,
and in their eagerneSS exercise neither
fairness nor truthfulness. Yesterday
the blatant BOutele and the eXcitable
Frye made exhibitions of themselves IN
the TWO houses of congress. Most re-
variable amid all this storm Ut de-
nuncatiOn is the absolute calm anu In
difference of Gresham. He appears to
like it, Nowadays it is an axiom among
public men here that after one has been
jacileted little by The press and other
critics he becomes callOus and does not
mind. 1t is like ones cold bath in the
morning. Only the first plunge seems
disagreeable All that follows is merely
inspiring. At any rate Gresham pursues
the even tenor of his way amid all the
violent assaults. The blood of two
Japanese boys is said to be on his head.
He is charged with having committed
the crowning diplomatic crime of the
century. Then comes Hawail's half
ridiculous rebellion. Of course Gresham
is charged with responsibility for that.
The Republicans fairly cover the Amer
lean eagle with red blood in their
anxiety 10 discredit the secretary of
stale, who Lad the courage TO leave
their party for one which more nearly
represented his principles.

thing it has for some time been cage
to demonstrate.
Knows His Course Is Rimht.

Knows His Course Is Right.
Simple facts like these show why
Secretary Gresham Is able to go on with
his duties, undiSturbed by the howlingS
of the Republicans. If his critics had
the most ordinary desire to ascertain
the truth they might easily know that
by tatic agreement with the Honolulu
government both the United States and
Great Britain would withdraw their war
ships from Hawaiian waters. They do
this, of course. in no hostile spirit.
Quite the contrary. And yet the Wash
ingt0n government is denounced as re-
SpOnSible for the death of Carter in the
recent instruction, and that unfortu-
nate Young mans fate is added 10 the
list of the crimes of this dreadful man
Gresham. Every one knows that II
there had been an American war ship
in Honolulu when this instruction oc-
Cured the same New England regu-
laIOrs OF everything save of their
own tongues and imaginationS would
have charged Gresham with cOnSplrlng
to encourage the rebels. They would
have hOwled that but for the presence
of the ship the insurrectiOniStS would
not dare make move upon the Dole
government This is what Mr.. Gresham
means when he assumes he is to be
damned if he does and damned If he
doesn't, and it explains why he is quite
willing to leave all these matters to the
sober Judgment OF the people.

Not wearing Him Gut.

One of Secretary Gresham's old
friends from Chicago, Martin j. Rus
sell. was here a lew days this week. He
saw Gresham. They had chat and
drive together. Mr.. Russell. who
has not dropped his old newspaper
habits of close observation, was asked if
he did not think Gresham was showing
wear and tear during his hard cam
paign, perhaps the hardest any cabinet
officer has had in this government for a
generation. Not bit of it," replied
Mr. Russell. II was surprised to find
S1resham the same CHEEKY, hopeful, self
confdentman.I had always known him.
There was not the first sign of fatigue
nor Of punishment in his demean0r. l
analysed him little for my own salts
faction and could easily see that he
knows he is right, and, knowing that,
does not care a rap for the t0rpedoes Of
the enemy"
will Not Beg for Justice.
Probably this analysis is accurate.
Gresham is almost stOlid under these
attacks. He refuses to 90 out OF his
way a hairs breadth to defend himself.
He VIII not deviate from his path,
change his ordinary procedure and
method. in order to put himself in more
favorable light. He declines TO beg
for justice. He refuses to court
favor among those who might
defend him. He disdains to re.
sort to the arts of advertising, to the
tricks of attitudiniziug aud posing which
MIR. Blaine was such a master Of. He
simply goes ahead doing his duty is he
understands il, sitting up late at night.
working hard all the time to know his
trade and practice it without mistake,
and leaves the remainder 10 history.
Gresham's friends know there is
strength in this. They know it is the
policy of a man who is honest and
courageous. They know his indlffer-
ence springs from a consciousness of
right. But they do not close their eyes
TO the fact that it is a policy which
may be carried TO ali extreme. Seine of
them would be pleased to see him more
alert for appearances sake, more pol
itic, more inclined to care a bit what
people say and think. or course, the
secretary recognizes, as every one does,
that he is the shining mark. The vult-
ures of the opposition have determined
to eat him up because he left their
ranks. Moreover, Mr.. Gresham knows
he is damned if lie does and damned if
1
do Is to do as he pleaseS. always taking
care, as is generally the case, that what
lie wishes to do is right.
