The hayseed members of the

people, there will be less cause Of
discomfort from year to year. This

FIRST SHOT OF THE WAR.
Fired by the Cadets of the South Carolina


Fired by the Cadets of the South Carolina
Military Academy.
The first shot in the late war was fred
by the cadets Of the South Carolina Mil
itary academy, which occupies spacious
and formidable looking building called
the Citadel, which was originally con-
structed for an arsenal The organiza-
ton and curriculum are similar to those
Of the United States academy at West
Point. After the ordinance Of secession
was adopted the cadets were ordered to
report for guard duty and were manning
q battery on Morris island, when, on
Jan. 9, 1861, the Star of the West at
tempted to enter the harbor with sup
plies and re-enforcements for Fort Sum
ter. The impulsive boys took the re-
sponsibility of driving her back, firing
shot across her bows to give warning.
The steamer Immediately ran up the
United States flag and increased he1
speed. The shots fell thick and fast
around her, and when one struck her il
the stern the commander thought il
prudent to retreat and turned his vessel
seaward. The cadets Of this institution
believe that act entities them to the
homage of the south, and the prestige
/ thus acquired has made them the objects
Of envy throughout that whole section

The financial speech Of the ex-Prime
Minister NJ. Loubet, in the senate, is to
be posted, by order Of that house, all
over France. There are some statements
in it worthy Of consideration. Thus, the
national debt is set down at 81 900, OOO,-
900. It also appears that the difficulty OF
making both ends meet las greatly in
creased since M. Meline secured the tri-
umph of his system. The court of audits
has discovered 211 Irregularities in the
last budgetary account of money paid
BY Irregularities it means embezzle-
ments, set down under the head of "vire-
ments.
Among them figures the $500 spent
on behalf of minister for "cabs, !"
and e64O a month for little "de-
ieuners' at Voisin's, where a min
lister of justice entertained his friends.
The "virements' at the home Office are
set down at $3.50, those of the war Of
fee at 81, $50, those of the colonial Office
at So, 900, those of the public works Of
fee at e2,375. When M. de Freycinet
was war minister, the "virements" Of
his department amounted to about e6,
900 year. He, as minister Of public
works and war, swelled the national
debt more than any one else in power
since Theirs retirement. The redeem
able loans were an expedient of M. de
Freycinet to give employment to the
public works department. -London

IRON Tonic For Orange Trees.

q. w. Prescott of Highland, who took
the medal for the best box Of packed or
anges at the late California State Citrus
fair, has been experimenting with iron
filings In his young orchard. Being
master mechanic Of the Santa Fe system
in southern California at San Bernardo
no, he knew more about iron filings than
he did about guano or any other fer
tilizer, and knowing that a certain
amount Of iron in the soil was essential
to healthy growth Of the tree and the
production of fruit he put five pounds
of this material around each tree, and as
a result he has highly colored orange,
where before he had pale colored fruit,
The cost is insignificant. A thousand
trees on ten acres will require 5000
pounds of filings, which costs 81 per ton
$40 for the ten acre orchard OF course
this application Of iron is not intended
to supersede all other fertilizers, but
simply to supplement them in order to
give good color to the fruit and enable
the grower to put an attractive orange
on the market, and incidentally to assist
him occasionally in winning a gold
medal The railroad shops at San Ber-
nardino can furnish one ton per day OF
this material, and other shops can also
assist in supplying the demand. PRO.

BIRDS LIKE TO TRAVEL.
The Reason They Annually Leave Nor

The Reason They Annually Leave North
ern Chimes and Fly South.
Why do the birds fit southwark each
autumn and return again with every
spring? No one knows, but science, in
the person Of Professor Wang, the emil
nent Austrian ornithologist, has just dis
closed that the usual fippant answer to
this question, Because they like to
travel, is not far out Of the way, after
all
In lecture that Professor Wang re-
Gently delivered at Vienna he gave some
extremely interesting details regarding
the migrations of birds, all Of which
migrations resemble one another in two
respects They follow the most direct
line southwark, and are made with al
most incredible rapidity. Numerous OBJ
servations have been made at Helgo-
land, which is the principal hating
place Of birds of passage from northern
countries, and Of Egypt, which is the
winter home of many, and these obser-
vations have established some facts hith-
erto unknown. The bluebirds traverse
the 400 nautical miles which separate
Egypt from Helgoland in single night,
which is at the rate of more than 40
geographical miles per hour. The swal-
lows speed is over az miles per min
ute, or nearly three times that Of the
fastest railway train. Even the younger
birds, 8 or 8 weeks old, accompany the
others in their journey.
Professor Wang asks himself what is
the impulse which causes the birds, aft
or the brooding and molting season is
over, to quit our nothern climate. he
does not think it is fear Of cold-for
many species quite as delicate as those
which migrate southwark easily with.
stand the rigors of the winter-but that
they have an irresistible humor fol-
travelling. This is his idea Of the fact
but he can give no explanation.

Some Points About Wills.

Do you know that you cannot will
away your body; that a clause in your
will giving your body after death to any
person or institution is not legally bind
ing? Your executors cannot be forced to
carry out your wishes, though they may
do so through Difference to your ex-
pressed preferences. It is also important
to remember that three witnesses are
needed in devising real estate instead OF
two, as in bequeathing personal property.
"When woman will, she will, de.
pend on t, says the proverb. But there
are SO many sharp turns and short
curves in the course Of the law that
though a woman wills to will what she
will, how she will in nine cases out OF
ten she cannot make her will SO that she
wills what she will as she wills to will.

Cost of Living In Europe's Capitals.

An investigation into the comparative
cost Of living at the various European
capitals results in the following interest
ing facts: At Vienna the prices OF most
articles Of food are lowest. At Madrid
they are dearer than in any other CAPT.
tai, and such things as bread, meat, sug-
ar and coal are very expensive. At St.
Petersburg also the price of bread is SO
high that white bread is still considered
luxury above the means of the work

an inexpensive city. Paris is little
higher in the scale, but London is ter

1892 and 1898, he found that the error
of time made by the Indians as to the
18th of November in those two years
was Insignificant. 1t was the culmina-

Ants as Biters.

Ants are terrible fighters. They have
very powerful jaws, considering the size
of their bodies, and therefore their
method is by biting. They will bite one
another and hold on with wonderful
grip of the jaws, even after all their legs
have been bitten off by other ants.
Sometimes six or eight ants will be
clinging with death hold to one an
other, making peculiar spectacle. some
with leg gone and some with half the
/. body gone. One singular fact Is that the
grip of an ants jaw is retained even
after the body has been bitten off and
nothing but the head remains. -Ex-

HALF A CENTURY AGO.
Philadelphia Gentlemen Drank In way

philadelphia Gentlemen Drank In Way
to Astonish Their Descendants.
Among Americans up to 1855 the use
and abuse of strong drink were almost
universal, but it certainly affected their
health less injuriously than at the pres
emit time. The worry and strain OF mod
ern business and social life shatter
nerves now and lead to dram drinking
to repair them. On the contrary, most
of the excuses in the old times came
after q, solid dinner, and three or four
hours were spent in rest and cornwall
ity. but the amount drank was enor-
NOUS. When the exchange was COM
pleted, in 1889, a dinner was given, and
there was some apprehension that the
wine would run out, and we'll known
broker on the committee expressed his
surprise, as the company had not aver
aged more than three bottles apiece.
This would be thought a very large al
lowance of strong Madeira in these
times
In.1853 the final audit Of the accounts
of the United States bank was complet-
ed, and ON behalf of the government
James A. Bayard Of Delaware, John
M. Mason and Kentucky gentleman
named Dukes appeared. 1t was q mere
formality, as the matter had been settled
ten years before. John Young acted as
clerk. The party met in the northwest
chamber Of the bank building-now the
custom house-at II O'Clock. A bottle
of brandy and six Of Madeira were on
the table, and after q short inspection
of papers the wine was opened, and by
1 O'Clock was drank. The day was
warm, and bowl of bishop was order
ed, and this was made by the servant
with the brandy and flask of Curacao
This was drank, and the three COM
mitteemen went to dine with Charles j.
Ingersoll about 3 O'Clock. They returned,
bringing a friend. A dozen Madeira
were at hand, and smoking, drinking
and whist were in order until 10, when
the last bottle was drank, and then
Prosser, the cook, brought in cold duckl
and mighty lobster salad. A gallon
bowl of brandy punch was made as con
ducive to digestion. A tumbler Of thii
finished the clerk, who went to sleel
and was aroused at daybreak to drink {
cup Of coffee, and then all went down
the steps and walked away in the fresl
morning air, none the worse in appear
ance from the nights rotations.
1t is apparent that in life like thi
it was the survival Of the fittest. Tn
steady ones carried off the honors, blu
govt, gravel and dropsy played havo
with the others, and these complaint
were charged to port and Madeira by tn
doctors, and so the habit of drinking
