ASK THE OLD WOMAN.

A gentleman travelling out west
relates the following:
Riding on horseback, just at
night, through the woods in Signor
county, Michigan, I came into a
clearing, in the middle of which
stood log house, it's owner sitting
in the open door, smoking his pipe.
Stopping my horse the following
conversation took place:
"Good evening, sir, " ! said.
"Good evening""
"Can I get glass of milk Of
you to drink ?"
"Well, [ don't know. Ask the
old woman"
By this time his wife came out.
''Oh, yes, she said: "Of course
you can"
While drinking it [ asked:
"Do you think it will storm q
"We,I, I really don't know. Ask
the old woman-she can tell.
II guess we shall get one right
away, "said the wife.
Just then q troop of children
came running and shouting around
the corner of the shanty.
"Are these your children ?" said
[.
Don't know. Ask the old
woman-she knows.
The storm broke. / drew up the
reins and left Immediately.

1t is well-known fact that
girls of u marriageable age or older,
especially the latter, do not like to
tell how old they really are, but
you can find out if you will follow
the subjoined rules, allowing the
young lady to do the figuring to
suit herself: First, tell her to put
down the number of the month in
which she was born, then to multi
ply it by two, then add five, null
tiply by fifty, then add her age,
then to substract 365. Next have
her add ~l15 and tell the total
amount left. In this grand total
the two figures to the left wi II tel
you her age and the other the
month of her birth. For example,
if the amount is 822 she is twenty
two years old and was born in
August-the eighth month st.

The gold production of the world
has been climbing steadily upward
since 1890, when it stood $lIS,-
848,700. The figures of 1892
were $146,Sl5, loo, of 1898
$l57,2S7 900 and of 1894 $780,
626,lOO. The figures of 1895
have not been fully verified by
Director Preston, but production
of S2O3,OOO,0OO is considered a
conservative estimate. The pro-
duction of 1896 is, of course, still
matter of calculation, but it is safe
to put the production of the year
at not less than $22O,OO0,O00. The
United States is expected to show
an increase this year from $47,-
100000 iu 1895 to $5O,000,o0O.

The ram Katahdin is to be the

navy. Under orders signed by
Assistant Secretary McAdoo on
st. Patrick's day this vessel is to
be painted an olive green. This
color was adopted not because OF
any prediction Mr.. McAdoo may
have for the Irish, but in order
that she might take advantage of

Russia has the oldest man living,
if the story which the Moscow cor
respondent of the st. Petersburg
Gazette tells US is true. From
documentary evidence it appears
that man named Kusmin was
born in 1857. From his twen-
tieth to his sixty-eighth year he
was coachman, but when he tip
ped his master over and did him
some injury, his long service was
rewarded by sending him to Siberia,
where he remained until 1898. In
1894 he went to Kief on a pill
grimage and has just returned.
Naturally he finds that all his early
friends are dead. The old man is
in good physical condition, his eye
is undlmmed, and he is a great
walker.ssUp to his l34th year he
had never tasted whiskey. Now,
at the age of l39 he takes an oc-
caslonal drink What boom this
story will be for total abstinence
advocates.

ganization.

Speaking of thoroughbred cattle
we are reminded that in Arizona
today we have over 1000 pure bred
cattle, for which outside writer's
fail to give us credit, in the belief
that we have none but Mexican
stock. Arizona is not asleep by
any meaus and is energetic in the
use of better blood. While our
legislature is exempting from taxa
tion railroads and other vast en-
terprises. it would he doing char
liable act by doing something some
thing for the common people in.
exempting pure-bred cattle from
taxation for period of years. It.
would be an incentive to our tax
payers to improve the quality OF
their bovine possessions, and thus
add greater wealth to the already
vast live stock resources. This is
thought worthy of consideration
these days when political aspira-
tions are being formed. .-Stockman.

Many fishes and other marine
animals reproduce in the most
wonderful manner, said a fisher
man. A hundred thousand eggs
from a single fish is common, and
it may he that practically all hatch
out. But they are subject to many
vicissitudes. Many die, many are
eaten by other fishes, perhaps by
their kind; some are caught by
men; comparatively few reach ma
turity. If all the fishes born should
survive and they should continue
to reproduce in the same ratio. it
wouldn't be very long before the
ocean would be so clogged With
fish that navigation would be i'm
possible.

To test eggs the Egg Reporter
says: "Dissolve two ounces OF salt
in a pint of water, and when a
fresh laid egg is placed iu the So
luton it will Immediately sink to
the bottom of the vessel. An egg
twenty four hours old will sink
below the surface of the water, but
not to The bottom of the vessel.
An egg three days old will swim
in the liquid, and when more than
three days old will float on the
surface. The older the egg the
more it will project above the sur
face, an egg two weeks old floating
on the surface with but very little
of the shell beneath the water"

Gen. Campos delivered speech
recently in the Spanish senate
about Cuba and proved beyond all
controversy the folly of continuing
the present war. "Let us end a
war;" he said, (which costs 10000
lives and $lCO,OOO,OO0 annually"
Later on he declared that to end
the war in a manner which the
cabinet proposed would require
the military occupation of the
island for five years. This would
require 100000 men as well as
81, l,OOO,OOO,OQ0. The loss of life
in the army of occupation has be-
come appalling. Of 3,877 deaths
in the Spanish army, no fewer than
8,l9O were caused by the "vomits.

CRIMES OF A MON ARCH

With the death of Nasr Ed-din
there has closed the career Of one
of the most cruel and rapacious
rulers Persia has ever been cursed
with-a veritable Oriental Nero,
says the St. Louis Globe Democrat,
Under his reign the peasants were
constantly plundered without hope
of relief, as the so-called civilized
powers, Great Britain and Russia,
ever had covetous eyes on the pos
sessions of the Shah and winked at
his wickedness.
Probably the most atrocious OF
the many criNes of the Persian
Monarch was the cruel death meted
ont to the governor of Matzendor,
Abdullah kulah, whom he SEN
fenced to be boiled alive in caul--
dron of oil on the charge of en-
bezzlement. notwithstanding his
plcadings and prayers Abduliah
Kulah was pitched head first into
the cauldron by the executioners Of
his serene highness, while the Shah
stood by to see that his, mandate
were obeyed.
Travellers through the domains
of the Shah said that it was not an.
uncommon thing to hear groans is :
suing from pillars of brick on the
roadside, the living tombs of
peasants unable to satisfy the de-
mands of the tax gatherers-lef5 to
a lingering death, without food to
satisfy their hunger or water to
quench their thirst. To prolong
the misery of these unfortunate
wretches small window like
ape1ature is left in the pillar that
the prisoner may breathe and not
die from sufocation. These tombs
dot the wayside in the province of
Hamadan as plentifully as do the
crosses in the mountain roads Of
Mexico to show where some way
farer has fallen by violence a
more merciful fate than the Per-
sian monarch meted out to his
subjects.

An enthusiast thus unburdens
himself and stays within the lines
Of truth: Come west. Here the
land is fertile, the elements less
capricious, the heat less scorchlng,
the cold less severe, the conditions
Of life easier. The profits Of one
year are not swept away In the
next. The gains of short summer
are not used up in food and fuel
through a long, severe winter.
There is more time for work and
more opportunity for recreation.
Land is cheap and far more fertile.
No spot on the earth's surface
gives man a wider choice of what
his labor shall produce.

w. T. Foster, weather prophet
Of St. Joseph, Mo-, has challenged
the officers of the weather bureau
to forecasting contest. He says
the weather bureau has been at
work nearly 26 years and has ex-
pended about $l5.000,000 of the
peoples money without satisfacto-
ry results. He thinks it is about
time for some practical demonstra-
ton of it's efficiency. Mr.. Foster
is willing to make his forecasts 35
days in advance. He asks the
weather bureau to make forecasts
for the same periods only seven
DAYS in advance.

Franz Csonka, a famous 74-year
old brigand, was hanged recently
for murder at Essegg, in Slavonla.
He smoked his pipe to the gallows,
tapped the hangman on the shoul-
der and said to him: "Do your job
well; don't make fool of yourself.
He was the most fearless of the
band of Rosa Sander, with whom
he committed many robberies and
murders in the Rekonyer forests.
They were captured with difficulty
twenty-five years ago, when Cson-
ka declared he would confess to
murders only, the rest being mere
ly child's play. He was sentert-
ced to twenty years imprisonment,
from which he was released a year
ago, but soon after committed an
unusually atrocious murder for
which he was executed. Rosze
Sander was sentenced to imprison-
ment for life, and died in Jail ten
years ago. In Hungary he was
never looked upon as common
criminal, but rather as a hero of
romance. He was handsome man
the best horseman in Hungary, and
a great favorite with the women

The coinage of silver is to be at
once resumed at the San Francisco
mint and will be carried on on a
large scale for the rest of the year,
The silver coinage for the year end
ing June 80 has been very small,
notably in the third and last quar-
ters. The annual closing up of
the miut and sealing of the vaults
retarded the work at the mint for
nine or ten days in the new fiscal
year, hut the coinage of the white
metal is now in full swing. "We
will coin not less than 100000 in
silver this month";" said Superin-
tendent Daggett, ''despite the fact
that we lost the time up to the 9th
or 10th. We will do better than
that next month and will continue
the coinaga of silver until other
orders are received. We have on
hand l1,OOO,OOO ounces Of fine
silver in bars and [ am of the opin-
ion that the bulk of it will be
turned into coin rapidly, | have
no idea why there is this sudden
activity in the coinage of silver"

NY. COED DEMOCRATS
Formally Organized-Will Supports Third
 Ticket.

New York, Aug. 12.--The gold de- mocracy was informally launched into existence in this state this morning at meeting in the law office of Ed ward M. Shepard. The meeting was attended by MT. Shepard. Charles S. Fairchild, former secretary of the treas ury, George Charles Tracey, former congressman; Corporation Counsel Francis Scott, Lawrence E. Sexton, John A. Beall, R. A. Widemann, secre- tary of the Third party state commit tee, and Robert G. Monroe and Dis trict Attorney Macfarlane.
 It was decided unanimously to sup port the third party and to send dele gates from this state to its convention in Indianapolis. The sentiment was that the convention should be held some time in the latter part of Au- gust. The feasibility of putting a full state ticket in the field on the third party platform was also discussed, but no conclusion was arrived at. Presi- dential possibilities for the third party were not discussed.
