Nothing Like Printers Ink

James Gordon Bennett is very er-
ratio in his movements. He drops in"
upon his branch offices in Paris or Lon
don without any notice being sent OF
his coming, and delights to surprise
the clerks by overhauling their books
and examining their accounts. On
one occasion, says the Utica Observer,
one of the pressmen, a man who had
worked for the elder Bennett, and was
an excellent workman, though guilty of
an occasional lapse from sobriety, had
a bad black eye and was in q quandary
as to what excuse he should offer if Mr..
Bennett noticed it. Acting on a sud-
den inspiration he seized an ink roller
and rubbed daub of ink on the side of
his face completely ooncealing the dis
coloration of the skin. Presently Mr..
Bennett came into the pressroom, and
with the superintendent, John Hays,
went carefully through, criticising ev-
cry detail, and looking sharply at each
employe. When about TO leave he
turned suddenly, and, pointing to the
besmirched pressman. he said:
mir. Hays. what is that mans nameP"
The culprit quaked in his shoes until
Mr.. Bennett said, slowly:
81 want you to give that man So per
week more wages; he is the only man
in the room who looks as if he had been
working"

A JOLLY SORT OF FARM.
vegetables Growing at One Hand, the
Products of the Sea at the other.

"Once, some years ago, said Super
intendent H. T. Woodman of the city's
aquarium at Castle Garden, 81 went up
on collecting tour for shells and so
on. On the north shore of Tampa Bay
we saw little white house-very white
indeed, 1t was-a whiteness, as we aft
erward learned, that was due to white
wash made Of lime from shell that the
owner had burned himself We went
ashore there and were most Hospitality
received and invited to stav. We
couldn't do that, but we were in the
neighborhood for a day or two, and we
ate two or three meals at his house, and
subsequently | called upon him once or
twice and was received in the same
hospitable manner.
mo doubt there are other gardens
like his, but his is the only one of the
sort ever saw, kind of land-and-
water garden combined. His land
garden. which was about half an acre
or so, was fifty or perhaps hundred
feet back from the shore. He had in
this garden cabbages and beans and po-
tatoes and lettuce, and garden stuff gem
orally. His water garden was COM
posed of three patches each about fifty
feet square, side by side and under wa
ter, close to the shore, and each en-
closed in a palmetto crib, which was
however, only one log high, for that was
all that was needed. He could 90 out
IN skif at any time and catch any,
thing that there was in any of the
cribs.
'ln the first patch of the water gar
den he kept hard CLAIMS, and he had
plenty of them. The second patch he
had fixed up for oysters. He had
thrown in shells for the oysters to
spawn on, and he had an abundant
supply of oysters. The third crib he
had fixed up for crustacea. He had
thrown in some old stumps here, and
had showed in under the crib some slabs
or planks that had drifted ashore, to
make shelter for crawfish, which like
to back in under things as the lobster
does. He had in this crib crawtish and
crabs. OF course these could easily
have crawled over the single log of the
crib if they had wanted to, but they
didn't want to; they preferred the shell
ter in the crib to the sandy beaches
outside. In fact, the crib was an at
traction to any stray crawfish or crab
that might come that way. You see,
he had only to step out of his house on
one side for his vegetables and on the
other for his sea food. He gave us oys-
ters steamed in a big iron pot over a
fire in the yard, and the pick of both
his gardens, land and marine; and cer-
tainIy we couldn' have had anything
fresher or more delightful N T.

CORN AND COTTON.
Two Staples in Which tho United States
Lead the Whole World.

Cotton and corn are the two great
American staples, and the two in which
the United States stand easily at the
head not only of all countries, but of all
countries combined. The total cotton
supply of the world, figured on the
basis of bales of 400 pounds each, is
about 10000. 900 bales, and of this
amount the United States produce about
5000. 900 bales, or two-thirds of the
whole amount. The crop here attaiAed
the highest figures before the war in
1860, when it was 4. 600. 900 bales of 470
pounds; 1892 was the best year for cot
ton since, the crop being 9, 900, 900 bales
of 470 pounds.
The corn acreage of the United States
for 1894 is 65 600, 600 acres, and the to-
tai product l, 200. OO0 600 bushels, of the
value of about 5000, 100000. The great
corn year was 1889. with crop of D.
100. O00, 600 bushels; 1891 followed with
1000, 000 0O0 bushels. In 1892 and
1898 the figures were about the same
l, 600, 600, 600 bushels. Compared with
the value of the corn and cotton crop,
the other agricultural productions of
the United States occupy subordinate
position, the value of the wheat crop
being 1925, 600, 900, oats $214. 900. 00O,
potatoes $91, 900. 900, barley $27, ,00O.-
900, rye $4,000, 900, and buckwheat
$1,000, 900.
Two surprises because of the differ
ence in value compared with ordinary
public expectations are hay and tobacco.
The hay crop of the United States
amounted last year to $43S, 600, 600 in
value; the tobacco crop. on the other
hand, amounted to only $27, 900. 600.
The last year preceding Q893) the to-
bacco crop was 30 per cent greater, and
considerably more than half of it came
from two states, Kentucky and Tennes-
see. Kentucky stands at the head of
the tobacco states. Pennsylvania is at
the head of those in the north. Con-
nectiout comes next; New York is
fourth.

BEANS.
Some Facts of Interest About q Familiar
Article of Food.

Most of the beans consumed in this
country are raised in this state, in Can
ada, and in Michigan. Some beans are
coming now from California, and the
California output is increasing. We
import some beans from Europe, the
imports varying, being some years
more and some less. We are not inn
porting many this year. The ordinary
white bean such as we use for baking
grows on bush about two feet high,
in pod somewhat similar to a pea pod.
The bean is at first soft and of a green
ish tinge, or greenish white, but it
ripens white and hard in the pod, as we
see it in the stores. When it is in just
the right condition the bushes are
pulled up, or they are sometimes cut
down with a machine something like a
moving machine. and piled up in the
field to dry. Then the bushes are
carted to the barns and threshed, and
the beans are gathered up and famed
and screened. They are separated into
sizes by screening, and branded ac-
cordingly.
There are marrow, medium, and pea,
or small. beans. In screening beans
the smaller marrow beans from the
ends of the pods might be branded
mediums. and the smaller mediums
might be branded peas; but the genu-
inc beans of these names are of as dis
tinct varieties as. for instance, the sew
eral varieties of peas are. Most of the
beans raised in this country are sent to
market in barrels; the foreign beans
are imported in bags.
In this country New England is prob
ably the largest consumer of beans in
proportion to the population, but the
consumption of beans is general every
where throughout the country, and it
has increased with the growth of popu-
lation. Beans can be easily trans
ported, and if properly cured they are
not affected by hot climates. New
beans begin to be received in Septem-
Der. In quantity the bean crop of the
current year is not up to the usual pro-
duction. The actual consumption of
beans is much greater in winter than in
summer. We export some beans to the
West Indies and to South American
countries in some years when there is
more or less of failure of their own
crops.
Common an article of food as beans
are in this country, we don't begin to
eat as many as the people in Europe
do. The production there is enormous.
Beans are cheaper there than here. and
the consumption is immense. Y

Pat and the English Runner" "

One day last week a new runner
for one of the cheap hotels made his ap-
pearance at the Polk Street Depot. He
was an Englishman, tall and heavily
built, with a long mustache and q
pompous drawl that made one feel like
forcing him to speak faster by applying
violence. He sauntered up to 8 group
of Irish immigrants who were standing
guard over their baggge, and said to
the leader of the party with conde-
scending twirl of his mustache, "Ah, me
good man, what's yer route?"
"Phwat's that?" asked the Irishman,
who was not quite mp to that synonym

Richard Watson Glider, the poet ed

very congenial neighbors.
Mr.. Glider has a little bright-eyed,

THE AFFECTIONS OF ANIMALS.
Curious Attachments of Foxhound to .
Pig and n Duck to a Rooster.

A farmer and naturalist of Gates, N.
Y, Henry Carey Dinslow by name.
writes to the N. Y. World about curious
affections which he has observed among
animals:
my fox hound, an intelligent fellow,
took fancy to small pig, and would
spend hours in the barnyard cutting up
antics to attract the attention of this
ly friend would condescend to play at
tag or pounce out in a most furious
manner from the darkness of its pen.
"Fowls often show a decided liking
for whomever feeds and cares for them,
but l well remember pullet which was
constantly at my heels as soon as en-
tered the poultry-house or yard-not
for food, for there was generally some
in the pans, but because of fancy. l
had never petted her, yet as soon as I
came in sight she left the others and
followed, all the time uttering peculiar
low, trilling sound only heard when
hens are selecting a nest with the male
bird of the flock. and as this flock con-
tanned forty or fifty of all ages and both
sexes, this popularity was quite con-
spicuous. Did she imagine me an un-
usually large sort of Shanghai rooster?
did not consider her attentions COM
plimentary.
"a duck raised with others on the
place greatly admired fine white leg
horn rooster, and everywhere the
rooster went the duck was sure to go.
She bowed her head with the rapid
quacking sound which is the ducks
usual homage to the drake. very much
to the chagrin of Chanticieer, who
proudly disdained such companionship,
and finally, by repeated pecks and sharp
digs, convinced the duck. after several
weeks of assiduous courting, that she
must not aspire to better male than
the old drake with only one little curled
feather in his tail and forget the beau
tiful plumes of the leghorn."

Suggested a Stroke of Business.

On the journey from Vienna to St.
Petersburg, Cumberland, the we'll
known auti-spiritualist and thought
reader, entertained his fellow passen-
gers by guessing their thoughts. One
of the travellers, Polish Jew, who took
the whole thing for a hoax, offered to
pay Cumberland the sum of so rubles il
he could divine his thoughts. V;sibly
amused, Cumberland acceded to his re-
quest, and said:
"You are going to the fair at Fishni-
Novgorod, where you intend to pur-
chase goods to the extent of 10000
rubles, after which you will declare
yourself bankrupt and compound with
your creditor for per cent"
On hearing these words the jew
gazed at the speaker with reverential
awe. He then, without uttering a syl-
liable, drew out of the leg of his boot a
shabby purse, and handed him the sc
rubles. Whereupon the great magician
triumphantly inquired:
"Then have guessed your thoughts,
eh9"
No" replied the Jew, "but you have
given me brilliant ides. "-Podrnokeer
