pany succeeds in overcoming their OBJ

of them. He probably labors harder
with them than he would to bring a

1t is said that Mr.. Rockefeller's first

him to spend a few days at his beauti-

Growing Oats.

Mr.. T. NJ. McCarl, of Iowa writes:
"As seeding time is near at hand,
some pointers on the growing of oats
may be of interest to your readers.
l think for this section of Iowa (cen
trail stalk ground is the best for Oat
seeding, and a two-wheel broadcast
seeder followed with a disc or eagle
claw cultivator ar the best implements
to use. The long shovel c%ultivator
leaves the ground in rows or creases.
l prefer a disc to any other implement
because it is faster and cheaper. One
MAJ can seed and disc fifteen acres n
day. AS to the quality of seed, this
depends very largely upon the ground.
Rich, black land requires from three
and a half to four bushels; on upland
about two and a half bushels Of clean
oats is plenty. I like the German white
oats very much both for food and for
market. The yield is very large, and
in good seasons it will weigh from
forty to forty-two pounds per bushel.
[ prefer sowing as early as the ground
will permit, say from the 9th of
March to the 10th of April. Earlier
than the 10Th Of March will not do.
Many prefer fall blowing for oats, but

never been able to get a good crop.

Experience of One Show Manager
with the slate-ColOred Pachy-

Manager Harris, of Nickel Plate
show fame, is not one Of the circus
men who swallow whole the artless
tales of the elephants amiability and
docility, of which our juvenile litera-
ture is full.
II have been in the circus business
since 1888" said the veteran manager
the other day, land in that time l have
owned five elephants. 1t may be that l
have had bad luck with them, but l am
free to confess that l have no use for
the big, s~late-colored pachyderlls. My
experience with the big elephant | was
obliged to have killed in Mariana last
year was ain expensive experience
in tina direction. l bought the big brute
and it was the largest n in the
country-in Springfield, Mo-, where he
had been kept in a public park for
years, petted by the public, ridden ev-
cry day by children and with a repu-
tation for docility and meekness way
up yonder.
Nevertheless, that elephant carried
about in his unwieldy carcass the aveng
ing spirit Of a demon. he made me
trouble from the start, and the moment
he was landed from the steamer at
New Orleans he started on a jaunt up
the street, overturning horse cars, Kill
ing horses and demOliShing shops.
That days work cost me $500.
1--WE hobbled him-hObbled him with
big log chain-a bracelet between his
fore legs and another on his hind legs.
Then we strung another chain between
the legs on each side, n completed
the job by a cris-crossing more chains,
cornerwise on him. The net time we
took him out of the a was at Pass
Christian. The first thing he saw was
the tents. That was enough..He made
a mad rush swapping the chains Xix
pipe stems, and plunged through the
tents, carrying seats and all before
him.
well the end came at Mariana.
Scott took him out, and the moment he
saw the tents away he went. l made
up my mind then to turn my $500 of
elephant into meat. We managed to
get him tied up to a tree and shot him.
This took place inside the corporate
limits, and I didn't know what to do
with the carcass. Finally l had a hap
py thought. l told the sheriff and the
county clerk that if they would bury
the meat they could have the ivory.
They jumped at the offer, but I guess
it was pretty dear ivory. They kept
every darkey in town hard at it until
they threw up the job in disgust. Then

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet

The GeneaIoGy of Slang.

Some one with leisure to follow a
delicate quarry should devote himself
to the genealogy Of slang or to illustra-
tons of what is nothing else than slang
in the classics. For instance, 1--WE shall
smile is in Julius Caesar 81 have
been here before" is in Rosetti's Sud
den Light" and 1--WE give ourselves
away in MI. Aldrich's sonnet on sleep.
A very choice modern phrase may be
perhaps traced to Henry of Navarro,
in his famous letter nagging his sol
der friend; "Pends-toi, brave Crillon!
Car nous avons combattu a Argues, eft
tn ny etais pas" Surely this does not
mean that CIR lion failed to be at Argues

fuse to give it up and go to the village.
Then that would probably be the last
he would see of her. No, he could not
get it that way. Suddenly q bright idea
seemed 10 strike him, for he slapped
his knee and calculated: That's it.;
that's what I'll do" He Immediately
went downstairs again and almost
dumbfounded poor Amanda by bluntly
asking her to become his wife. They
had better get married, he said, then
she would be sure of his money when
he died; he wanted to see her provided
for, etc. OF purse Amanda saw no rea
son to refuse the offer. She could be no
worse off if she were married to him.
That night the village pastor settled
the matter by uniting master II house
keeper in marriage. The text morning
the village lOungers staid up al ON
or two longer to discuss the latest SEN
sation. The night after they did not go
to sleep at all.
At the morning meal, the day after
the marriage. Jake BarnSby was unuSu-
ally cordial. 1t was during the progress
of the meal that he again preached the
subject of the lottery ticket to Aman-
da. well, Amanda" he said, did you
get a prize on your lottery ticket?"
Amanda seemed at a loss for an an
swer for a few moments and then an
swered in a shaking voice that she had
not been to the village to see yet about
the prizes. She felt that something un-
usual was in the air from the one Of
voice in which the old man spoke, and
wondered why he so often spoke of the
lottery ticket. Suddenly she was inter
rupted in her thoughts by the old man
saying: Lets see your ticket, Aman-
da."
Poor Amanda! She had never-bought
a lottery ticket at all, but had spent he1
money for a long w%ishcd-for shawl
one she had wanted as far back as she
could remember, but which she had
been too poor to buy. At that moment
she wished she were where the old
man was when she earned the dollar.
With a good many tears Amanda
started to tell him him how she had not
bought a lottery ticket as she prom
iseI, but had bought a m~uch~needed
shawl instead, how badly she needed
it, etc. She was in the middle of her
tearsome explanation, when old Jake

ORANGE WOOD TOoTHPICKs.
Made by Spanish Peasants and
Brought Here by Sailors.

II wonder how many Of the men who
come in here and S these orange
wood toothpicks," said a mar in an up
town hotel. know where they come
from and how they are made? They
are made by the cleverest whittlers in
the world, and every one of them is of
han manufacture. The peasants in
Spain and Portugal make them, and
they first found their way into this
country through the medium of steam
ship officers. 1t is Il fact that hotels
in all parts of the country are using
these orange wood slivers now in pref
erence to either quilts or the old-fash-
Toned toothpicks. and the demand for
them here has been a perfect godSend
to the peasants who make them on the
other side.
"A year or so ago l was in Spain and
saw the peasants making them. They
could turn one out with three slashes
of the knife. and it was their custom
to do them up in packages of twenty
and sell them to tourists and steam
ship officers for the equivalent of 1
cent of our money. At that time the
peasants made them in their leisure
moments, but now l am told many
peasants make their living manufact-
uring toOthpicks. You see, the demand
for them increased to such an extent
that the peasants can sell all they
make. The steamship officers can sell
them here at a profit of about | cent
on each package, which amounts to
considerable when a large number Of
packages are sold.
"A peculiar phase of the matter is
that not a cent of duty is asked for or
paid on them. They We're formerly re-
ceived in such small quantities that
10 attention was paid to them and the
steamship officers are still able to get
them in free, because toothpi ! are
the last thing custom officers u look
ing for. And as toothp:cks they are
really excellent. They are strong and
flexible, and, instead of breaking, tear.

In the body of an adult person there are

The blood has as its most important ele-

In proportion of about 300 red to 1 white one.
If the number of red ~corpuscles becomes

necessary to sustain the health and nerve
