SAID PASTA.

May Said was summarily dismissed
from the premiership, The sultan felt
that he had been restricted by the in
dependence of judgment and decision
Of character of the first minister. He
easily persuaded himself, when Saids
irmnesS in defending the interests Of
Turkey brought him into collision with
the cabinets Of Europe that his vigor-
Gus but simple minister was lacking in
the right qualities and that he could
guide the foreign policy more ably him
self The succeeding first minister
AbdWrahman Pasha, was known as an
efficient and honest provincial governor
in Asia, but without experience in
European diplomacy. During his brief
tenure of Office the intercourse was en-
tipely between the embassies and the
palace through the roundabout chan
nela to which Said Pasha had skillGully
accommodated himself without allow
ing his functions to be superseded.
When, after q few weeks, Abdurrahman
asc2u to be relieved, the statesman to
whom the sultan turned insisted upon
the cessation Of palace interference, and
he was finally constrained to recall
Said Pasha, who was reappointed grand
vizior in the second week Of July. His
first step on resuming Office was to adj
rise cooperation with Europe for the
purpose of securing the settlement Of
the Egyptian difficulties in the HANDS
of Turkey. The sultan, under the in
fuence of the palace party failed to
follow the advice, but after it was too
late endeavored to repair his blunder.
At the end Of November a conspiracy
to kill or depose Abdul Hamid was re-
por,ed to him, and in the panic which
ensued the ministry was dismissed, and
for several days all the members of it
were held under suspicion. Achmet
Vefyk, a former grand vizier, whom
Said Pasha had few weeks before dis
missed from the governorship of Brous
sa for disobedience, was appointed to
succeed him as premier. But two days
afterward Said was again recalled, and
the former ministers, including NAH
mud Nedim, minister Of the interior,

his dismissal both times, was reap
pointed.

An Enormous Avalanche.

An account of the great avalanche or
fall of the Altels glacier illustrates the
wonderful power of nature when once
the equilibrium of forces is lost. This
tremendous mass of ice and snow swept
down in an almost verticle position for
Aearly mile. The narrator says: "An
approximate idea of the magnitude of
the forces at work may be formed by
considering that this mass Of ice, whose
bulk was equal to one and half times
that of the great pyramid of Egypt,
swept down a mountainside through a
vertical height equal to ten times the
height Of the pyramid, and in so doing
acquired momentum that carried it
up about one thousand two hundred
feet to the crest Of the opposite mount
ain, before it finally fell back to a state
of rest in the valley below"

The Water Tree.

To go into strange country and be
unfamiliar with the alternatives neces-
sGry in emergencies is to start out on a
dangerous expedition but ill-prepared
for the haps and mishaps of such a
tour. There is nothing more important
to an explorer than thorough knowl-
edge Of botany and bush lore. A little
information of this sort would have
saved many life and would have
spared many travellers much pain, de-
lay and WEAKNESS. Nature provides
compensations in all of the great ex-
tremes Of climate and conditions. There
are regions where water in the way
Of springs and streams is practically I'M
known, but all through these dry places
grow water trees that yield a bounti-
full supply to those who understand the
peculiarities of this form of vegetation.
A variety of eucalyptus, tree known
cassia are water trees. A party of
travellers were passing over one of the
waterless districts Of Australia, when,
by an accident, they found themselves
a long distance from their journeys
end and almost perishing with thirst.
Suddenly one Of the party, with a
shout, dashed off toward a clump Of
trees, calling to his companions to fol-
low. With desperate haste he threw
himself from the saddle, and digging
with his hands in the sand at the foot
of one of the trees, he drew out long
spreading root This he cut in pieces
and gave to his companions. Each one
put an end of the root in his mouth
and raised the other end above his head.
A most delicious drink of cool water
poured from the root, a piece two feet
long holding quite enough for one
draught. The water-bags were filled,
and even the horses quenched their
thirst in this novel way.

Home Grown neof.

Almost all farmers grow and fatten
pork for their own use. When it
comes to beef they rely on the butcher,
who himself usually butchers nothing
but is the agent for Chicago dressed
beef wholesalers. In this way when
he buys beef he pays two or three
profits, and it makes pretty dear meat
On almost every farm one or more
beef cattle can be grown or at least
fattened. Those who are skilled
in judging weights can often purchase
stock to be fattened more cheaply
than they can grow it. If the beef is
killed carly in the winter good deal
can be frozen and used while fresh;
but that intended for sailing should
be put in brine soon after the animal
is killed. Beef that has once been
frozen becomes filled with air, and
will not keep so well afterwards, how
ever treated.

Home Made Sausage.

The sausages that come on the
farmers table ought always to be
home made. Those which are pur-
chased in the butchers shop are almost
always made Of meat that is ready to
decay, and the high seasoning they
get with spices is for the purpose of
concealing their Embellishments. e A
well made sausage is not at all un-
wholesome, though 1t is usually harder
to digest than meat not so highly
spiced. The home made sausage ought
to have not more than one-fourth of its
meat fat. Most boughten sausages
have more fat than this, the sausages
being used to get rid of fat meat that
would not otherwise be salable.

A Possible Cause Of pIsoasc.

Eels have, within the past few years,
multiplied rapidly in many localities,
and a great number Of them have been
taken out Of the water-pipes Of our
cities. In some instances fish have
been found in the pipes, and living
creatures Of various sorts are not in
frequently thrown out by the force Of
the water. OF course, these fish get in
to the larger mains, then by tremendous
pressure are forced into the smaller
ones, thence into The pipes, which they
sometimes entirely nil up, shutting Off
the water as effectually as though they
were plugged up. A considerable
amount Of sickness in one place has
been attributed by the residents to this
state Of affairs. If these creatures can
get into the pipes, sticks and other ar
ticles can get in also, and in one in
stance some small limbs Of trees had
lodged across the entrance to pipe,
and wedged in between these were the
remains Of cells, fishes and frogs. The
people living in the district fed by this
pipe had been for some time using wa
ter literally strained through decom-
posed animal matter. That there were
illness and death was not at all re-
markable There should be some
means by which pipes could be ex-
amined. Opening a hydrant is all very
we'll, but who is able to say what may
be lodged at the mouth Of the pipe that
feeds the hydrant? AS far as keeping
out injurious matter is concerned, the
provisions are in many cases criminal
ly inadequate, People drink water in
a sort Of go-it-blind way, many times
without thinking of the danger that
may Turk in it; and even though they
might suspect it, are utterly power
less to remedy the evil.

an honored name. He graduated from

DR.. William Everett was at the time
the head. A year later he went to Eu-
rope, and spent some time in travel,
after which he took a law course at
Harvard and was admitted to practice
in 1884. His first active participation
in politics was as a member of the COM
mittee of one hundred, which led tle
Independent movement for Cleveland
against Blaine in 1884. In 1885 he was

Nine Lives Lasted Thirteen Days.

No cat in Maine probably had more
need of her nine lives than did one in
Monmouth store last week and week be-
fore. The large oat-bin in the rear Of
the feed store, holding an even carload,
had just been filled, when the cat, chas-
ing a mouse, went down head first be-
tween the partitions of the bin, eight
feet, to the floor beneath. There she
remained ON her head for thirteen days,
or, until, the oats having been removed,
she was discovered. Tabby is now
alive and well, and just as eager for
mice as ever.

EIectro-Uulture of Plants.

The experiment stations have been
growing plants under the influence of
electricity. Some garden vegetables are
injured if not entirely spoiled by cleo
tricity. Carrots, peas, cress, spinach
and some others were not particularly
satisfactory. Lettuce was wonderfully
stimulated, but it was discovered that
it must not be continually exposed to
the light. 1t is stated that plants must
have certain amount of darkness in
order to flourish. One authority de-
clares that plants gather during the
daytime forces that they utilize during
the darkness of the night. However
this may be, it is true that plants do
better when they pass some portion Of
"a hours in darkness. Among the ear
ly experiments were those tried in 1913
by Beckensteiner, who placed a series
of wires so that the electricity could
come in contact with the roots Of the
plants. During a thunderstorm there
were sparks thrown out from the wires,
and this created such CONSERVATION in
the neighborhood that he feared to con-
tinue the trials. Under the influence Of
electricity flowers bloom much sooner
and show finer and more brilliant color
ing. 1t is, however, necessary always
to interpose glass between the light
and the plant, as the naked light is too
bright and Injuries the foliage.

tee on campaign literature. After the
Inauguration of Cleveland in 1898 Mr.
Quincy was rendered the position of as
sistant secretary of state, which he at
first declined, but when it was shown
to him that his acceptance would graft
fly the president and serve the party
he yielded so far as to enter the Office
temporarily for the purpose of re-or-
ganizing the consular service on the
line of ideas entertained in common by
President Cleveland and himself. The
object having been achieved at the end
of six months he resigned and turned
his attention to business and profess
slonal interests. He IS largely inter-
ested in two important suburban cleo
trio railways, to the management Of
which he gives personal attention. He
is unmarried. He was the democratic
candidate for mayor year ago, and
was then defeated by Mr. Curtis, the
unsuccessful candidate this year.
