Artesian Wells For Irrigation.

One of the best artesian basins in the
world is in South Dakota, though there,
as elsewhere, some of the irrigating
wells have been carelessly constructed.
But if the cap rock and the water bear
ing rock are firm and hard they are still
successful, though Professor j. FL.
Shepard thinks that it will be difficult
to repair them when their common iron
pipes are rusted through. He suggests
that an outside casing should be firmly
seated in the rock, below all sand. That
no washing or caving Of the sides may
occur, the casing should closely follow
the drill as soon as flow is reached.
Galvanized pipes should be used and
joined by very strong couplings. The
inner pipe, which penetrates the flow,
should have its lower end perforated to
prevent rush of water at any point in
the sand rock. To preven5 the wafer
from working up around the outside of
the pipe and cutting the cap rock away,
the casing should fit snugly in small
bore in the cap rock. All pipes placed
within the first or outside casing should
come to the top of the well. American

HER WEDDING GOWN,
Miss Consuelo vanderbilt's Bridal Costume
Finished.

When it was first decided
that Miss Vanderbilt's wedding
should take place in ST. Thomas, the or
ganist of the church, DR.. George William
Warren, proposed choral marriage SER
vice, the music to be furnished by the full
choir of forty voices. Mrs. Vanderbilt
did not approve OF the suggestion, and
there will be no vocal music. Instead
the music will be furnished by the New
York Symphony orchestra of 80 pieces,
personally conducted by Mr.. Walter
Damrosch.
The orchestra will be stationed in tho
north gallery. An hour before the cere-
mony the first number OF the musical
programme Mr. Damrosch will have ar
ranged will be rendered by the orchestra.
Following that DIR. Warren will play a
solo on the great double organ of the
church From then on until the bridal
partyssarriyes, orchestra and organ will
alternate.
The floral decorations of the church will
all center from the top of the dome, nine
ty feet above the chancel. From the cen
ter of this dome ropes and streamers of
flowers will extend along each support of
the dome from apex to base. The north
and south pillars ofsthe chancel itself will
be banked with palms and potted plants.
Spanning the steps leading to the altar a
the pillars in the body of the church Will
be entwined with flowers, and the choir
loft will be so decorated as to give the
color effect of white and9gold. The walls
of the vestibule forming the rear OF the
audience room of the church will be solid
ly banked with flowers Each pew will
have floral entrance.
The rehearsal of the wedding will prob
ably be held on Monday evening, Nov.
9TH.
The houses of some of Miss Wander
blt's relatives are receiving the attention
of large corps of workmen preparatory
to their being occupied. Mrs. w. HI.
VANDERBILT, and her bachelor son, G.. W.
Vanderbilt, have not occupied their
house at $40 Fifth avenue for many
months, but it was said recently that
all possible haste was being made in get
ting the dwelling ready for them early
next week.

THE FIRST BICYCLE RIDER.

This Claim.

He Halls From Chicago and Boldly Makes
This Claim.
''I rode the first bicycle in America. If
any other man claims to have done SO, /
would like to hear from him, but 1 don't
believe there is such man"
So says Mr. John William Tyler of 81
East Monroe street. The pioneer of the
millions who now fit on wheels all over
this broad continent is a middle aged man,
well built, with dark hair and eyes. In
early life Mr.. Tyler was a gymnast. He
is now jeweler. During his apprentice
ship as jeweler he was reader of mag
ezine, in which he one day came across a
paragraph which interested him very
much. 1t dealt with the improvements
made TO the bicycle, or velocipede, as 1t
was then called by the brothers Hanlon,
who were surprising Paris by their exploits
on the new machine.
At this time the riding of bicycle was
considered rather as gymnastic exercise,
to be undertaken only by the very skillful
Thus it appeared to Mr.. Tyler, and he at
once ordered a velocipede from the adver-
tised manufacturer in New York, who had
purchased the patent from the Hanlons
Said Mr.. Tyler:
months the velocipede came at last. 1t
came c. O. d., with bill for $50 and a let
ter from the manufacturers stating that I
had given them their first order, and the
cause of the long delay was their not being
ready to manufacture. From the illustra-
ton of the machine I thought it would
cost only SO or SIS, and was not ready
to pay $50. A friend, however: came to
my relief and paid the bill, telling me
that 1 could give exhibitions on tho ma
chine and in that way soon be able to pay
him back, which / did, there being plenty
of people then in America willing to pay
for the privilege of seeing a man ride q
velocipede. hired an inciosed arena, and
people paid to come in and see me ride
and that fall established a velocipede
school in Wilkesbarre. My wheel attracted
much interest-became SO popular, in fact,
that articles in reference to it appeared in
great many newspapers. Chicago In

POTATOES FOR STARCH.
Where the Monster Tubers Are Grown.
Facts Concerning the Starch Industry.

Where the Monster Tubers Are Grown.
Facts Concerning the Starch Industry.
The conditions where potatoes are
grown to be ground into pulp for the
making of starch must of necessity diff
fer greatly from those that obtain in
localities where potatoes command
goodly price the year around for food.
1t is question of distance from market,
cost of transportation and particularly a
question of whether potatoes can be
grown in great quantities per acre and
at comparatively small price. Heavy
rates for transportation on bulky ma
terial and good potato growing condi-
lions of soil and climate are conducive
to the establishment of starch factories,
and so we find them in the British prov
inces, in the great potato growing re-
gion of Maine, Aroostock county, and in
northern New Hampshire and Vermont.
Now, the grower of potatoes for a
starch factory is not concerned over the
quality of his product, but he is deeply
concerned over the quantity of it, and
as a result he aims to produce bulk, and
for this purpose the largest and coarsest
of potatoes fill the bill A representative
of American Gardening who visited one
of the New Hampshire starch factories
describes the tubers used as monsters in
size and of coarseness that rendered
them unfit for table purposes.
These large potatoes are hauled to the
starch factory, weighed and then I'M
loaded through a trapdoor in the floor.
They are then shoveled into a trough
through which water flows constantly
and are slowly carried from one end to
the other by revolving shaft with pad
dies upon its sides. The potatoes are
thus thoroughly washed and ready for
the grinding, which takes place when
they have passed out Of the farther end
of the trough. The potato starch indus
try is of no small Importance in the
country, but must change in some of its
conditions as the more remote regions
where it is now most prominent are
broug ht by railroad communication and
competition into easier and cheaper
communication with the markets of the
world, where potatoes for table use ap-
pear to be increasingly in demand and
at gradually increasing prices.

DAN Hiyeley,s Conversion,

Daniel Hiveley is remembered as having
been about as hard a specimen as the say
ing power Of grace ever overcame in the
Ozark country. He was man of great
strength and of wicked temper. The way
in which be became a resident Of the
Ozark country illustrated his inclination to
be law unto himself 1t is told that in
his young manhood Hiveley was engaged
in boating salt down the Ohio river and
up the Cumberland to Nashville. The
man for whom he was working got behind
with the pay. Daniel thought he was go
ing to break. He went back for another
load Of salt, but instead Of delivering it
kept on down the Ohio and the Mississip-
pi until he reached the White, which he
assembled to the Ozark country. He never
went back, but turned his mechanical gen
ius to account in building mills.
A powerful revival Of religion overcame
Daniel Hiveley, and he 'professed. )"
Some time afterward the preacher who
helped convert Daniel was out In the
woods, when he heard a great noise. He
listened and discovered that Brother Hive
ley was having trouble with COW that
wouldn't drive. The preacher hid behind
q bush. Hiveiey came along and jumped
upon log to look for the COW, but could
ret see her.
ON you to --!'' he shouted. Then,
after few moments Of silence, he added:
"There, old devil, you have got one more
path out of me. Take it and go TO ~

FOX AND NAPOLEON.
The English Statesman Was Fascinated h,
the First Consul.

Durine the summer of 1902 Fox ,o,r-
neved to Paris, where he was presented +o
Ronaparte early in September. The Enc
lish statesman was fascinated, and al
thouph the first consul said NOTHING def
mite or precise, his visitor departed CON
vincsd that his host desired nothing Init
peace with a liberal policy both domestic
and foreign as far as was consistent with
safety. But the attacks of the English
nress became none the less virulent in CON
seouenoe of Fox's favorable report or of
his brilliant defonse of France from his
place in parliament. Toward the close of
January Talleyrand demonstrated with
Whitworth this time giving point to his
remonstrance by a plump demand as to
what England irsended to do about Malta.
Whitworth replied that he was without in
structions and made an evasive answer.
limiting that the kings opinion of the
changes which had taken place in Europe

determining him as to the disposal of the
island. This was the first official intima-
ton that England did not intend to keep
her promise.
A few days later Sebastiani returned
from the east, and on Jan. 80, 1903, The
Moniteur published his thorough and care
full report. 1t was long document, fully
explaining every source of English weak
ness in the orient and setting forth the
possibilities of re-establishing French col
onies in Egypt and the Levant. There was
only one menacing phrase, but 1T expressed
an unpalatable truth that 900 French
troops could now conquer Egynt. The
publication in England of this paper raised
a tremendous popular storm, and it has
pleased many historians to regard Bona
parties course as virtual declaration of
war. In reality it was merely French
Roland for the English Oliver. If England
intended to keep Malta, let her beware of
her prestige in the east. Had Bonaparte
intended to act on Sebastiani's report he
certainly would not have published it. Of
course the English populace utterly failed
to grasp SO nice a point, and the incident
SO strained the relations Of France and
England that all Europe saw the impend-

An Episode of River Steamboat Days sug-
gested by Recent Engagement.
lUhicago Times. Herald. }

(Ch1cagO Times H6Tdlu.J
Speaking of the Marlborough Wander
bilt engagement, here is something tha'
is kin to it: One night. away back yon'
der in the latter sixties, was passen-
ger on steamboat-the Richmond-run
ming from Louisville to New Orleans. Ii
was a down trip and the boat had
rea ched the Court Country" that! re-
gion.lying along the Mississippi beio"
Natchez to the Belize.
The vessel was sailing smoothly down
the majestic stream. and it was long al
ter midnight The great and superb
cabins were as quiet as the upper floors
of grand hotel at such an hour, save
that party of four gentlemen playing
whist in the forward part of the main
saloon kept up the faint, low convesra-
ton necessary to the game. Twas per-
haps one O'Clock when the card players
and those who were awake In their
berths on that deck were startled by
scream from the ladies' cabin and there
came rushing down toward the cerk S
office handsome matron en- deshabille.
Clinging to the lady's skirts and crying
in sympathy with her mothers distress
was a little girl of six or eight years,
perhaps ten.
"My diamonds are gonc'' the matron
said, in husky voice, to the alarmed
night clerk.
A thief, who had probably watched fol
this opportunity for years, had reached
over the transom of the lady's state room
from the outside and had cut away and
carried off the pocket of her dress con-
tanning 500, 600 worth of great jewels.
Probably he went ashore at the next
landing after the theft had been accom-
plished. At any rate he made good his
escape, and the jewels were never heard
of again by their owner.
The company owning the boat in the
lawsuit that followed proved that safe
was kept on the boat for the express pur-
nose of caring for valuable property or
Jewels or money of the passengers, and
the plaintiffs lost the case.
The lady was Sonora Yznaga, wife OF
wealthy Cuban, the little girl was
Consuelo. after ward Duchess OF Man
chester, then Duchess Dowager, now
Duchess of Devonshire, and for her was
named Consuelo Vanderbilt, whose
mother was a girlhood friend of Con-
suelo Yznaga, and who is to be the Ouch
ess of Marlborough.

Cough mixtures must be avoided because
they frequently contain optates which arrest
tho digestion. Their only effect on the
cough is by stupefying the nerves. Let them
alone.
All foods that are hard to digest must be
avoided, especially fats and oils. Only those
foods that are easily digested and assimilat-
ed should be eaten. Foods not thus accepted
