The federal grand jury is mov-
ing along slowly. The special
grand which wac emparelled the
latter part of last month took
nearly all the "plea guilty" cases
off the docket.
A fire in the basement Of the
Jail at 1:30 o'clock Sunday morn
ing created considerable excite
meBt. A trusiy who was tending
the furnace went into the store
room to fill lamp and carelessly
over turned it. The fire burned a
large hole in the floor of the jailer's
office beneath the stairs leading to
the hospital. On account of the
damage of the stairway burning
through and because the hospital
was filled with smoke the prison
ers were brought down and guard
ed in the kitchen until the flames
were extinguished.
The democratic primary election
Saturday created great deal of

doubtless be the next officers as

ing them, they form in the substance
of their bodies starch, which they
pour out from some portion of their
surface. Thus a little profusion of
starch appears at one side of leu
coplastid: soon another outpouring
takes place which flows round the
first one; third follows, and a
fourth, and so on, the successive lay
ers causing the striated appearance
we have seen to be characteristic of
the adult grain. Their activity lasts
much longer than that of the chloro-
plastid, and the starch grain is there
fore much larger. Their activity con-
tinues, indeed, till they are complete
ly used up and disappear. 1t is not
very easy to see these leucoplastids
in the potato; they can be seen, how
where they are larger and not round
&c. g., the cells of some Orchids). In
a few places, such as some pollen
grains, starch grains are found in
large numbers without the aid of
leucoplastids so far as we know at
present. They seem in this case to
be constructed by the protoplasm of
the cell.-Ceylon Tropical Agriculture

to that which led to it's transitory
appearance. The chloroplastid con-
verified starch into sugar, something
else must have again converted the
sugar into starch. This was the
first essential step, for the solid
grain of starch could not pass
through the wall of the leaf cell and
so travel from place to place in the
plant 1t has been ascertained in the
last few years that this change is
brought about in the leaf by the ac-
ton of a so-called engine, or unor-
ganized ferment, known as diastase,
the same body as has been known for
so many years to be the active agent
in the standardization of malt. The
identification of engine in the leaf
was difficult, but there is now no
doubt of it's presence. By it's agency
particularly during the hours Of
darkness, when the constructive ac-
tivity of the leaf was suspended, the
transitory starch in the leaf-cells was
converted into sugar. This sugar
which is known as maltese, or malt
sugar, made it's way from the leaf
down the stem into the tuber, which
is really only an underground branch
which becomes very much swollen
and does not increase in length. 1t
found a convenient path in those vas
cular bundles which supplied the leaf
with water from the root, and which
serve therefore as the channels of
conduction not only for water but al
so for the elaborated products which
the leaf has found. On reaching the
cells of the tuber a conversion of the
sugar into starch again took place.
In these cells there are a number of
small protoplasmic cOrpuscles, much

gratitude to his benefactor there is
not the slightest doubt. The editor
of the Iron Age was a religious old
fellow and Hayne in mis- articles of
abuse would always speak of him as
the man who came from Pittsburg
with leather-bound trunk filed with
tracts for the children; who walked
about the streets with a prayer book
in his hand, but when he went back
to Pittsburg took with him the leath-
er-bound trunk full of shekels and
left the prayer book behind
SIN the Buchanan society Iayne
was the Ward McAllister. His good
looks, fine appearance and sraye man
ners made him a favorite with the
younger ladies, but business distinc-
tion and excellent parentage won him
favor with the older and more conser-
vative people. Hayne had introduced
himself as hailing from a noble Eng
lish family, claiming that his father
was an officer of high rank in the
British Army. This, the innocent and
good hearted people of Buchanan be-
lieved with the utmost fidelity
SIT was not many months before
Haynes true character began to show
itself. His decline began with the
burning down of an immense big hotel
he was having built in the center of
buchanan. Hayne. it was afterward
discovered, was constructing the hotel
on wind. He had the building insured
for $4,000 before it had been com
pleted. One night the structure went
up in smoke. The insurance company
contested the IIayne claim for the in
surance and the matter was taken in
to the courts. 1t was finally decided
that the insurance company should
pay over the money to Ilugle d Com
pany, the contractors and not to
Hayne.
Following this came a series of in
cidents which were all bad for Hayne.
The matter of erecting a mammoth
electric light plant was agitated and
Hayne succeeded in getting some
good people slightly interested in the
project Everything pointed toward
a success of the scheme to outsiders
and it was these indications which de-
ceiyed a large Pittsburg machinery
manufacturing firm. The contract
being an unusually large one for the
furnishing of the machinery equipment
for the plant, llayne approached the
Iittsburg firm and managed to extract
$500 from the house with the assur-
ance of their getting the contract. The
contract was let and the money paid
over TO tIayne. Considerable Of the
machinery was shipped on to Buchan-
an and laid on the ground. 1t was
then discovered by the Pittsburg COM
pany that IIayne had absolutely no
authority to let the contract. This
was Haynes main downfall, and with
him went down the electric light
works and the $500 advanced by the
Pittsburg house.

Perseverance and Wisdom.

In most books on the formation Of
character and upon the elements of
success in life, great Importance is at
tached to the virtue Of perseverance.
But this good advice is seldom properly
qualified, 1t is good thing to adhere
to your plans, but it is also good thing
to have wise plans to adhere to. Most
people do not take nearly enough time
in formulating their plans and in devils
ing ways and means to carry them out.
IL you catch at an idea as soon as it
occurs to you and straightway begin to
carry it out, you may find that your
steadfast adherence to it, instead of
promoting the ends you have in
view, may be carrying you fur
ther from them. The true course in
such case is to abandon your plan. 1t
is not your perseverance which is at
fault, but the wisdom of the project it.
self. Except in very rare instance. no
amount Of pluck or steadfastness will
make up for the folly of the plan. In
many cases the apparent fickleness with
which men abandon their schemes is not
due to want of steadfastness, but to
want of good sense in entering upon the
matter. The time that one takes in
looking over the ground and in balanc-
ing probabilities beford deciding upon
course of action is usually we'll spent.
Successful men have often been praised
for their persistence in adhering to
their schemes against all difficulties
and discouragements, but the quality in
them. which merits at least equal recog-
milton, is their faculty of devising plans
that are practicable and judicious. Their
conviction that their projects had this
merit was one of the principal secrets of
their persistence in them. No stead
fastness in adhering to resolution can
atone for folly in forming it.-Watch'

Manners and Customs of the Beers.

The daily life of Boer family is a
simple one: At daylight, all the mem
bers assemble in the main room-the
kitchen and eating room, although most
of the food is cooked in the open air
where the head of the family reads rev.
erently chapter or two from the Bible,
generally the Old Testament. A simple
manly prayer is then offered, followed
by the observance of an-ancient Bible
custom. A colored handmade enters the
room with basin of water and towel
The guest is first approached and invited
to wash his hands and face and wipe
them on the towel. The head of the
family is next approached and so on
around the room, until all have been
included in the ceremony. This consti-
tutes the days additions of the family.
The morning meal consists of dish of
beef-cut into large pieces. They all
sit around the board while the father
says a long grace, and stranger not
familiar with their table manners is apt
to be left in the lurch. Each man, for
the women eat alone, selects the particu-
lar piece of meat that strikes his fancy,
and as soon as the amen" is spoken,
sticks his fork into the piece selected.
1t happens sometimes that two select
the same piece; then, the quickest man
gets the booty. Dry bread. sometimes
butter, and strong black coffee complete
the bill of fare, which may stand as a
sample meal. 1t has been urged against
the Boer that he is uncleanly, and this
cannot be denied; but there is an excuse
for this in the scarcity of wster.-Morch

On Natural DisapprOval of Wealth.

There is natural feeling of distrust
and even disapproval of wealth. especi-
ally on the part of those who have never
possessed it. 1t is natural also that this
should be a sliding scale. and that each
person should regard the next largest
taxpayer as too rich. Thirty years ago,
at the seaside res ort called Pigeon Cove,
or Cape Ann, there was village wit
known habitually as Old Knowlton, a
retired fisherman, who delighted to cor
ner in argument set of eminent clergy
men who then resorted there, as DIR.
Chaplin. DR.. Gannett, DIR. Bartol, Thorn
as Starr King, and others. He liked to
swear before them, to ask them hard
questions out OF the Old Testament, and
to call them Familiarity by their last
names. One day he was much startled.

hear that it was $1,000, which would not
now be regarded as large sum, but
seemed to him enormous. "Why, Gan
nett" said the licensed veteran, what
can minister do with so much money?
You can't know how to manage it! Can
nett, you ought to have guardeen!"
No doubt we are all ready, il we per-
sonally escape wealth, to offer advice as
to its guardianship, but probably the
nearer we come to it, the greater the diff
ficulty of deciding how to handle it.
There is nothing new in the phenome-
non, except in its lately rapid increase
among ourselves. Even now it is said
that no American man is so rich as
Cecil Rhodes, the South African adven-
turer, who is wealthy enough to organ
ize piratical expeditions into free states;
and. it is predicted, to be elevated to the
peerage of England, even where they
have failed. No American family is so
rich as the Rothschilds, whose nest is
still shown-or was till lately-a totter-
ing and shabby house in the Jewish
quarter of Frankfort Matthew Arnold,
who shook his head over the compare
lively moderate displays of wealth in
this country, gloats with delight, in two
letters, over the luxurious living of the
English Rothschilds. An aristocracy of
wealth, however, can never really stand
on the same ground as one of birth, or
be as dangerous to real freedom; be-
cause, no matter how curious people
may be about it, or how envious of it, or
how much they may truckle to it, there
can never be felt toward it that honest,
time hardened, utterly cringing defer
ence with which even the average Eng
fish radical bows down before lord.
But we all like to philosophize about it
an d give it advice-and all the more,
the less we share of it; just as it was
said of Cardinal de Retz, that he made
up for an utter neglect of his own soul
by exercising an abundant supervision
over the souls of other people.-Har-
peT's Bazaar.
