Undicniaed For a .statesman,

1t is said that a woman remembers
man whom she has known we'll as a lit
tie boy always as the little boy and new
er can think of him as grown up. This
saying seems to be borne out to certain
extent at least by an amusing story told
in connection with the appointment of
NJ. Edouard Lockroy as minister of ma
rine in France.
When NJ. Loclkroy was a small boy,
his father lived in house in the street
in Paris which now bears the name Rue
Washington. His home was in the fifth
story Of this building, and it appears
that he had certain habits which render
ed him Objectionable to some of the 9TH
er residents of the building, particularly
to the concierge, or woman who looked
out for the door. He found, for instance,
a more expeditions way of coming down
from the fifth floor than by the stairs.
This excellent woman is still living.
When she heard that Edouard Lockroy
had become a minister, she threw up
her hands in establishment and ex-
claimed:
what That little Edouard Lockroy
And to think of his always sliding down
from the fifth story of the palace of the
Elysee on the balusters I''-Youth's
Companion.

Philadelphia Oil shipments.

Shipments of oil from Philadelphia
this year will exceed the exports in
1894 by probably 5000, 900 gallons. Dur
ing the financial depression last spring,
when the price of oil advanced rapidly,
the foreign shipments fell off largely,
and it seemed likely that the business
of the year would show decline. But
with the revival of trade the decline in
the price of oil and the depletion of
stocks abroad the foreign trade has re-
vived, and shipments have been heavy
in the last six months. Up to the end
of last week the exports for the year
amounted to 319, 182, 795 gallons, and
for last week the shipments we're 1853,
461 gallons. There is likely to be
still further increase before the end of
the year, as a large feet of vessels
is in Philadelphia under contract to
load oil.

SOME QUEER WELLS.
Citizens Hunting For Water Find Gold.
Petroleum and Things.

Citizens Hunting For Water Find Gold
Petroleum and Things.
A few years ago Joseph Caywood of the
town of Reading, in the county of Schuy-
les, n. Y, was digging a well on his farm
and found gold ore The gold ia the ore
uncovered was very small in quantity, but
Farmer Caywood believed he could strike
tt richer by changing his proposed well to
a mine. He mined until he had made
deep and wide excavation, finding frequent
specimens of gold.
One morning he went out to work at his
mine and found it full of water. The
surface of the water was covered thick
with oil. Caywood SKINNED off a quart
Of it, and it proved to be very fine quail
ty of petroleum. Farmer Caywood was
not mining for oil, and he tried to pump
the water out of the hole in order that gold
mining might be resumed, but it wouldn't
be pumped out, and operations were aban-
doned. Tho hole, full of water, always
abundantly covered with petroleum, is
still there.
Near by the Caywood farm is James
Huey's place. Not long ago he started to
dig well near his house. just why his
digging should have opened up gas vein
beneath his cellar he caunot figure out,
but vein was disturbed there, and the
gas comes up through the ground into the
cellar so that it has had to be abandoned
a a storage place for everything that will
absorb the odor of gas.
Near the Huey farm is James W. Col
try's farm, and recently Farmer Goltry
began digging a well. At the depth of 40
feet he found pure water and bed of
powders. These bowlders when brought
to the surface give off strong Cdor of Pc
troleum, which is increased in strength
when the stones are broken. The stones
are of dark brown color and seem sat
urated with petroleum Now York Sun

Part of an old couplet says sin the
spring young mans fancy lightly turns
to thoughts of love-" There is nothing
added about young woman's fancy-or
that of Dame RUmor.
Whether this spring weather is &C.
countable for it or not, it is true that
wherever two or three are gathered to-
gether. socially, these engagements and
matrimonial prospects are discussed
1t has been the custom in Topeka to
announce engagements only after the
compact has become such we'll uEder-
stood affair, that the friends of the inter
ested parties are already momentarily ex-
pecting Invitations to the wedding
Among the prominent Topeka young
people who, it is said, will be married
after Lent, are Miss Mabel Johnson and
MIR. Frank Thomas, whose engagement
has already been announced; MIR. George
Rust Of Kansas City and Miss Gertrude
Roberts, Miss Marguerite Bradley
and Mr. Carroll Merriam, Miss Lulu
Manspeaker and Mr. Will johnson, Miss
Jessie Small and Dir. Walter Noble. The
last named couple. il is said. will not be
married till Septem her, but they have
taken MIR. and Mrs. j. D. McCune's house
