The Knight of the Golden Lance drew
rein upon his richly caparisoned steed in
front of the ancient castle of Doonder-
borg, says the New York Sun
The portcullis was battened down and
the bridge was reefed close to the
jamb of the battlemented doorway
The castle presented a gruesome gray
front and the knight was so impressed
by II that he did not observe the daughter
of the seneschal, who was working in a
small garden plot beyond the moat
As no one appeared to greet the knight
he concluded to make his presence known
by word of mouth.
What, no, there!" he shouted
The daughter of the seneschal looked IN
suddenly. She had not before observed
the knight
No. response being forthcoming the
knight shouted again.
What, no therer'
faint no hoe" sung the girl; its a
spade" And she shook it at him.
Being thus called down the knight of
the Golden Lance felt himself so hurt
at his msadventure that he threw a brick
at the daughter of the seneschal and with
drew in Sullen silence.

Match-Eating Fish.

The Lincoln News tells this so naively,
says the Lewiston Journal, that we have
not the heart to say a word:
"a singular incident took place the 9TH
er day on Damariscotta Lake, which
shows the voracity of the bass in that
lake. A party from the kennebec were
fishing from a boat, when one of them
caught the end of his fish pole in his
watch guard, and flung his gold watch
overheard into forty feet of water. About
an hour after, and quarter of a mile dis
tant, they caught a siX-pounder, and no

gold watch, still going

vast still running, however. The time
piece had stuck in the fish's throat and
every time he swallowed anything the
object slid over the stem-winding nub
and gave it a twist. If those two men
should go off together we would get
something worth reading.

EIectricIty on the Fnrm.

Scientific farming sharps are devising
means to fool the plants and make them
work overtime. The federal department
Of agriculture is conducting experiments
to determine the effects of electric lights
upon vegetation, with the view to as
pertaining If healthy forced-growths can
be obtained with the aid of artificial light.
So far the experiments have been meas
urably successful; that is, a number of
plants have been forced to extraordinary
development under the arc electric light
within a short time. 1t is claimed that
the electric light resembles sunlight in
its composition more than does any 9TH
er artificial light. and that the effect Of
of the electric light upon plants is similar
to the effect of the sunlight. except it
is in a smaller degree. If the expert
ments demonstrate that electricity can
be probably employed in forcing the
growth of cereals, so that two crops may
be grown in a season, it is evident that
agricultural methods Would necessarily
be revolutionized.
There is however, no immediate pros
pect of cotton and wheat fields being
surrounded and criss-crossed with a net
work of electric wires. The old reliable
sunlight viii for some time longer rule
the fields. In the meantime electricity
is being employed on the farms to do
work heretofore performed by hand or
other power In New Jersey a farmer
runs his seed-cutters and churns with a
small dynamo which gets its power from
a wind mill In Denmark portable
threshing machines are being run by
dynamos which derive their power from
small oil engines. In California, arrange
ments are being made to harness a water
power and distribute it's energy for as
much as thirty miles away, and it is
said that corn mills and various kinds
of farm machinery will be operated by it.
1t seems. therefore, that the towns will
not get all of the benefits that are to be
had from the utilization of electricity.
When the problem of transmitting cleo
trical energy is better understood. the
farms and the country districts will come
in for a good share of the advantages af-
forded by the use Of electricity.

The Dog struck for His Privileges

A correspondent Of the London Specta-
tor, journal much given to dog and cat
anecdotes, sends the following from Cal
gary, in Alberta
My dog. half-retriever half-setter, has
Deen with me Tor six years since l res
cued him as a puppy with a can on his
tan. lie has followed me constantly, ana
though always very friendly with every
body, has been devoted to me both in
doors and out. Lately a change mas come
over him; he would come into my room
When called, but would take the first
opportunity to go out
lie seemed to be dull, to have lost his
old 1oyousness in our cOmpaniOnship. Last
rail- my children went to England, and 1
thought he missed them. He would leave
my room to lie under the kitchen table.
ana would follow the hired boy about the
place, so told the housekeeper to keen
nm out of the kitchen. 1t mace no dirfef-
ence. Forbidden the kitchen, he would
leave my room and lie in the hall
lie had always been accustomed to fol-
low me almost everywhere whether rid
ing or driving; but this year, thinking the
journey TO town Sixteen miles, and back
too much for him, l had left him at IN,
Ianch when going to town. Last Satur-
DAY was driving to town, the dog
started to follow, and as the bow was
going to send him back L said: "Oh
never mind; let him come" and he came
with us.
Now the whole mystery is explained. On
| our return the dog quite resumed his ola
habits. The change was extraordinary.
ne comes INTO my room and stays there
as a matter of course; he greets me
| every morning on coming down stairs;
/ ne jumps around in the old joyous fashion
Mhen L go out-in fact, is himself again.
| Evidently the trip TO town was one of his
most cherished privileges, and he took his
| own way to ShOW that he had no use for
master who deprived him of it.

Capt. Summers share in the glory of the
Columbla's performance, in beating the
record for war ships between Southamp-
ton and New York. :" where no record had
previously existed, is sadly detracted from
by the fact that a court martial has been
called to try him upon the charge of neg
lect of duty in connection with the dock
ing of the cruiser in Southampton. 1t is
probable that the captain was more liz
tent upon the performance of social du-
ties than official duties at the time, and
hence left to incompetent or careless sub
ordinates the supervision of the docking,
to which he should have attended him
self. There are probably too many ball
room sailors and pink tea commanders in
high positions in the navy.

Maybe it was the bicycle microbe that
deranged the liver of business. From
time to time we have heard how much
value has been knocked off the horses
of the country by the wheel and every
body can readily understand why It should
be so. But it appears, from the accumu.
lating evidence. that the loss of horse
values is only a small fraction of the
general arrangement for which the BIZ
cyle is held responsible.
One by one various lines of enterprise
and endeavor are finding out that they
are more or less affected by the wheel
fever. The savings banks have reached
the conclusion that they are in receipt
of some millions less money in deposits
than the former yearly average. and they
account for the dropping off by the fact
that thousands of young men and young
women are buying wheels on the Install
ment plan, and paying for them the
money that they would otherwise put
into the banks. The retail clothing trade
finds that the sales of custom made cloth
ing have dropped off some hundreds Of
to be. Bicycle riders do not need so
many clothes; those they do need are
cheap and while they are wearing them
the more costly business and dress suits
are not In use, and hence last longer. One
business suit lasts the wheel rider much
same person before he became a rider.
What applies to clothing applies also to
neckties. shoes and hats.
The Tobacco Journal says that the
wheel very greatly Injuries the cigar and
tobacco trade. The half million of male
wheelmen in this country do not smoke
nearly so many cigars and cigarettes
when they ride as they would smoke if
they were to walk. The Journal esti-
mates that the wheel has decreased the
cigar and cigarette trade by 100000 900
smokes year. Putting the average cost
of each smoke at l cent, it can be seen
what a puncture has been punched in
the tobacco trade by the bike" If the
tobacco trade has lost 100000 a year
through the wheel, the saloons have lost
more than seven times that much. Whis-
ky and wheeling do not go together. Very
few wheelmen drink liquor. and those
who do so drink sparingly.
A professor of pugilism'' in New Jer-
sey complains that his athletic school has
been all but ruined because everybody
is riding now instead of boxing and
wrestling. Maybe there are others like
him. A Philadelphia paper says there Is
! less demand for the chaperone for young
ladies now than heretofore, because the
! chaperone and the bike" are not good
friends, and the girl who rides a wheel
may generally be depended upon to take
care of herself in the most approved
manner. The laundries complain tina;
the number of white and fancy linen and
| percale shirts and shirt waists to be
laundered has fallen off greatly, with
the effect of reducing their revenues
Most people who ride wheels wear negli-
gee costumes. There may be stin Others
who feel the effects of the wheeling GUS
tom, but enough has been said to show
how wide its influence is And it may
grow to be still wider. It is estimated
that 10000 wheels viii be sold this year
at cost of 100000.

Love in Town.
From Truth.

They had no partings in the wood,
No meetings in the lonely lane;
Beside the sea they never stood,
Nor watched the sunset after rain;
Their pathway was the busy street,
Their trysting place the office stair,
And We, l knew, joy more complete
Did never visit mortal pair.
And why should rustic love alone
Be decked with all poetic art?
These dull, gray city walls have known
The beating of a nations heart
The weary workers come and go,
The secret of each soul is dumb;
Yet, still, at times. a radiant glow
Across their way-worn life may come.
And these, my happy lovers, knew,
Hard toll. small wage and humble fare:
The skies they saw were never blue
But love made gladness everywhere.
His step upon the office floor
Was sweet as a robins song;
Her face, that passed the open door.
For him made sunshine all day long.

WatsOn's Banner County.
From the Quitman (Ga.) Free Press Dem.)

The banner populist county in the Tenth
district is Appling In the last congress
sional election it gave Watson 1900 out
of 1900 votes. Democrats claimed that
this majority was procured by fraud There
will be no such vote this time under the
new registration law. So far only $50
voters have registered. 1t is estimated
only about 300 more will register. The best
opinion is that Watson will carry the
county by not over $780, which will be a
very pronounced slump. Watson made
the opening speech in Applng last Sat
urday of his campaign.

INDUCING Delinquent Taxpayers.
The Jacksonville Fla.) Metropolis Oem.)

1t is a mistaken idea to indulge tax
payers in hardness to pay what they
well know must ultimately be paid. In
Key West this indulgence has been car
ried to extremes. and the result is the
city is financially embarrassed, and city
scrip is only worth 90 cents on the dol
lar, but employees have to receive 1t at
par and either keep 1t or shave it 40 per
cent, losing about $4,000 per year from
their receipts The Herald says about $780,
000 are now due the city in taxes for the
years 1890 to 1894, and Notwithstanding the
last legislature passed a special act en-
towering collecting, yet the city authori-
ties hesitate to enforce it.

Money of ssThe Constitution"
From the Dalton (Ga) Argus Oem).

of silverites that met in Washington last
week, notes an exchange, has received
little attention, and. first and last, will
probably have no appreciate erect, bur
it would be interesting to ascertain where
the authors of this document get their
authority for the assertion that The
constitution names silver and gold to-
gether as the money metals of the United
States" We have searched the constitu-
ton in vain for any declaration of thar
sort That instrument gives congress the
power to coin money, but names neither
gold, silver nor any other metal in that
connection. Maybe they meant the At
Aanta Constitution.
