A Story of NIiIIais,

The story of the late Sir John Millais
which follows is told by correspondent
of the London Chronicle in the painters
own words:
Il found myself seated one evening at
a rather grand dinner next to a very
pretty, gushing girl to whom 1 had not
been Introduced. She fired into converse
ton directly she had finished her soup, and
as it was May. began with the inevitable
question i suppose you've been to the
academy" | replied that l had And
did you notice the Millias? Didn't you
think they were awful daubs? l can't
imagine how such things ever get
hung!-' She was going on gayly in the
same strain, while L sat silent, when sue
denly the amused smiles of those round
her, and the significant hush, brought her
to a sudden stop. She colored rather pain
fully, and whispered to me in frightened
voice, For heavens sake, what have |
done? Have said anything dreadful? Do
tell me- Not now, l replied; eat your
dinner in peace, and I'll tell you by and
by She did so, rather miserably, vainly
trying to extract from me at intervals
what the matter was, and when dessert
came filled up her glass with champagne
and told her to gulp it down very quickly
when 1 counted three. She obeyed with
out protest. and 1 took the opportunity
when she couldn't speak to say, We'll.

Mixed the stewpanx.

A young married man of Louisville who
lived with his wife and two small boys
in a suburban cottage during the summer.
had very interesting experience with
razors not long ago, says the Louisville
Courier Journal. 1t was his habit to shave
himself, while his wife was preparing
breakfast, and, of course, he was not ex-
pected to know that she had two small
stewpans just alike-what business have
men to know anything about stewpans
anyway? He walked out of the bed room,
saw his customary little steWpan of hot
water simmering on the hob, poured it's
steaming contents into his shaving mug,
and went back to his toilet. When called
out to breakfast some fifteen minutes
later, he emerged in a very red and
scarffed condition, and had few remarks
to make.
''By George! Never while 1 live will I
ever try to eeonomize again. That
cheap shaving soap which 1 bought is a
perfect fraud. 1 couldn't make it lather
to save my life and got so nervous that
I've gone and hacked my face all to
pieces"
The wife was still busy putting break
fast on the table, but she had time for
few sympathizing remarks. Then she
turned to the fire with surprised air
and said:
whats become of that syrup?"
What SYRUP" the man with the man
gled chin inquired.
why, l made some sugar syrup for
the batter cakes; it was cooking right
here on the stove and it is not here.
Where on earth it ISL"
WAS it in little stewpan?' the man
asked-"a little stewpan just like the one
you generally put my hot water in?"
YES" she said; did you do anything
with it?"
What l did to it was a plenty said
the man. 81 took it and shaved with it,
OF course, everybody laughed and
everybody was a trife vexed. The hus-
band thought the wife ought to have post
ed him on the stewpans; the wife thought
the husband ought not to walk off with
stewpans without asking questions, and
the children still think it is queer father
who will cheat his own infants out of
syrup on their battercakes.

The republican electors Of Tennessee are
said to have perfected a plan to bring
about an investigation by congress of the
recent election in that state. The plan
IS to petition congress to hold an inves.i-
cation, representing that they were chosen
electors by majority Of the lawful voters
OF the state, but were deprived of their
victory by fraud, and that there is no state
law under which they may institute a con-
test therefore they look to congress to
rlsht the wrong. 1t seems that the re-
poohcans cannot get over the idea that
because a barrel Of republican money was
spent in Tennessee It ought necessarily 10
have gone for Mckinley.

The Augusta Chronicle refers to the fact
that the Savannah soap factory finds its
most profitable market at the north" The
people Of the north recognize merit wher-
ever they see it, and buy where they can
get the best for the least money. There
are, unfortunately. many merchants and
consumers in the south who will not buy
an article unless it has a northern or a
European brand upon 1t, Notwithstanding
better articles of the same variety are
produced at their very doors.

Mr. Joseph r. Oliver, of Hillsboro town
ship, in Marion county, South Carolina.
planted this year six acres of tobacco.
From the crop he had sold up to last week
tobacco to the value of Sl,0S7, and still
had a large quantity of his best tobacco
is not stated by the Charleston News and
Curriers' correspondent, from whom the
facts are obtained, but if he has a large
quantity" and It is his best tobacco" it
is fair to presume that he will get sew
eral hundred dollars more from his crop
of six acres. 1t may safely be assumed
that he will get enough for the whole
crop to make it bring him $1,000. or $500
per acre. That is more per acre than any
cotton planter in Marion county has been
able to get out Of his farm in many years,
If ever. The people of Marion and Flor
ence counties, South Carolina, have with
in the last few years gone extensively into
tobacco culture. and the reports are that
they have found 1t very profitable. Mr.
divers crop was probably above the av-
erage. but we have heard OF a number of
planters who have made from $3.50 TO S175
per acre on tobacco, even when prices
were lower than they are now. 1t is re-
markable that Georgia farmers do not
give more attention TO tobacco. Flori-
dams are very much interested in the weed
this winter

Bismarck, ROulanger and the Beetle.
A few years ago. says the London Satur-
day Review. a statesman of European
fame visited Bismarck at Freidrichsruhe,
and the two walked together through the
latters plantation of exotic pines and frs.
of which both were collectors. The visitor
improved a lapse in the conversation about
conifers to bring up the then recent topic
of Boulanger. did Germany at the time
really take him seriously?" he asked
And what did you yourself think of the
man?' The ex-chancellor, apparently in
all candor. replied that he knew very lit
tie on the subject lit is true that 1
was in office at the time" he said, but
just then there was a kind of beetle which
got in among these frs of mine, and was
eating out the central shoots, and really
that worried me so that 1 scarcely paid
any attention a all to what Boulanger
was doing"

Florida makes some sugar, but not nearly
enough of it. In the five years from 1889
to 1893, inclusive, she produced nearly 1000
900 pounds of sugar 1t is believed that
she could multiply the amount by ten in a
few years if the most were made of the
sugar territory of the state. The Diss-
tons have a large sugar plantation in Os-
ceola county, and raise large proportion
of the total output of the state. Expert
ments in thirty-eight counties have been
attended with success, showing that sugar
can be proltably grown in each of them.
The Tampa Times is agitating the matter
of extended operations in sugar growing.

The defeat by a decisive vote in the
Georgia Senate Of populist bill to declare
null and void all obligations and contracts
payable in any specific character Of money
is an evidence OF returning sanity on the
money question. At least It is an indica-
ton that the financial doctrines of Kan

the south. But Il is a pity that such a
preposterous BIN conld ever get out Of the
