A Disastrous Phrase.

Illustrated by an incident IN tho life Of
the late Colonel John Tracey. In 1884
he was reporter on the New York Star
and did work for the Democratic ma
tional committee. He was at the Fifth
Avenue hotel when the delegation Of
olergymen called upon Mr.. Blaine Hs

manism and rebellion. which the Rev.

thought the chances were good thas tAs

could put it for the Democratic party,
he rushed to a telegraph Office and sses
a short dispatch to several papers and
to the party headquarters. There wss

Ants Have Ladies', Maids.

We know we'll enough that ants are
the nest advanced of all the insect
world, that they can talk to one an
other and have regular laws and regu-
lations in their tiny colonies. But the
last discovery about them is, perhaps,
the most astonishing of all. A natural
list has been making observations on
their toilet and has discovered that
each insect goes through cleaning

Named the Eabrics.

At very early period in the north
ern republics of Italy commerce and
manufacture became very active, due in
a great measure to the stimulus given
by the maritime supremacy of the cities
Of Genoa, Pisa and Venice and to the
corresponding activity in trade in such
prosperous interior cities as Milan,
Florence, Bologna and Padua. Milan
and Mantus gave us milliners and man
tua makers, and Leghorn attached its
name to certain kind of hat and straw.
England, Ireland and Scotland have
given a number of names to fabrics
made in oartain localities, of which
tweeds, cheviots and linsey woolsey a.
familiar examples. Worsted comes from
the village of Worsted, near Norfolk,
and drugget may be traced to Droghe-
da, Ireland
Other materials of diverse origin are
batiste, so called from its French in
ventor, Baptiste, and grensdine, which
was first made In Grenada. The deri-
walton of the word jet is quite interest
ing. 1t was first found near the river
and town of Gagas, in Asia Minor,
whence its old French name, gagate,
jayet or jaet, which eventually devel.
oped into the English jet.

The Unhealthy Bangkok.

An average shade temperature Of 50
degrees during about ten months Of the
year in Bangkok is accompanied fm at
least six or seven of these by damp so
depressing that for many hours Of each
day the grasshopper Is burden and
sustained thought almost impossible.
The Siamese recognize the drawbacks Of
their climate, and they seldom attempt
to do anything through the hottest
hours of the day. The king sleeps
through those hours, reviving again
about O'Clock with the sudden cool
ness Of approaching sunset Cabinet sal
court, and, in fact. every Stances n
the land who can do as he pleaesa fol
lows the royal example in this, and sbs
cabinet sittings are held through The

Even the sturdiest Europeans sufr1
and degenerate if they persistently for
get that life in tropical plains must 60
slower than at home. Many a tombstone
in the Bangkok cemetery and some
nameless graves in the tungles and
swamps of the interior attest this fact
A low level of vitality is so inevitable
that the common Siamese excuse for
nonappearance, ''Mai sabai" Not
well"), creates no remark and no spe-
cial interest. The chances are that the
excuse is valid, but whether or no what
does it signify? In Siam it is quite nor

later, General Gordon held with honor,
as now, a seat as senator Of the United
States, and was present at a dinner
party given by Orlando B. Potter, a
representative In congress from New
York. a.
Upon Mr.. Potter's introducing him TO
gentleman with the title Of General
Barlow, General Gordon remarked,
"Are you relative of the General Bar
low, gallant soldier. who was killed
at Gettysburg?"
The answer was, 81 am the General,

should add that on receiving her
husbands note, which had been speed

the field, though not without danger to
her person, for the battle was still IN
progress. She soon found her husband
and had him borne to where he could
receive surgical attendance.
Through her devoted ministntions he
was enabled to resume his command Of

LEAN MEAT.
It Sometimes Contains as Much as Seven
ty-eight Per Cent of Water.

IL Sometimes Contains as Much as Seven
ty-eight Per Cent of Water.
Lean meat, it may surprise many to
learn, Is much more watery than fat
meat. This may be illustrated by the
statement that very lean meat may con-
tain as much as 78 per cent of water,
while very fat pork may contain only
10 per cent The flesh of fish is more
wstery than ordinary butcher meat
Thus salmon contains five-eighths of its
total weight of water, cod four fifths
and founders -sevenths.
Among the foods which may be cited
as containing but small percentage of
water, and consequently as dry food,
are -four and oatmeal, and sugar is a
food entirely devoid of it. The animal
body has often been aptly likened to a
machine. and, like all machines, it re-
quires fuel to keep it working. Now
this fuel it obtains from the food which
we eat, and in default of food the ami
NAL tissue itself is drawn upon. Food,
therefore, keeps the animal body warm
and yields the muscular energy necessary
for the accomplishment of the work
which the body does. In this capacity
the three classes of food nutrients may
all be concerned.
The value of food may be estimated
in terms of the amount of heat it will
give rise to. The most concentrated food
fuel IL fat. When fat is burned, it gives
rise to twice as much heat as is given
by the burning of either the albuminoids
or the carbohydrates. Fatty foods, there
fore, possess much greater heating
value than nonfatty foods. -Philadel-
phia Times.

Ancient Thermopyle.

An officer of the English intelligence
department reports that in spite of the
fact, which is we'll known, that the sea
has receded since ancient times, the
strategical position of this ancient pass
is still immensely strong. The alterna-
tive route by Deleghi, which crosses the
hills a mile and half north of the
springs by well engineered zigzags, is
equally capable of defense and leads in
to country of a most difficult charac.
ter. Either pass might be held indefi
nitely by 5000 men. The coast road is
absolutely commanded from the heights
so that comparatively small force
would render it impossible, while the
fiat lowland lying near the sea is
marshy and intersected by dikes.

Resting on one knee at his side, General
Gordon read the letter.
"Now please take out one and read it
to me. They are from my wife. / wish
that her words shall be the last hear
in this world"
Resting ON one knee at his side, Gen.
eral Gordon, in clear tones, but with
fearful eyes, read the letter. 1t was the
missive Of noble woman to her worthy
husband, whom she knew to be in daily
peril of his life, and with pious fervor
breathed a prayer for his safety and
commended him to the care Of the God
of battles As the reading of the letter
ended. General Barlow said: "Thank
you. Now please tear them all up. /
would not have them read by others. "
General Gordon tore them into frag-
ments and scattered them on the field
"shot sown and bladed thick with
steel" Then, pressing General Bar
lows hand, General Gordon babe him
goodby, and, mounting his horse, quick
ly Joined his command.
He hastily penned a note ON the
pommel of his saddle, giving General
Barlow's message to his wife, but
stated that be was still living, though
seriously wounded, and informing her
where he lay. Addressing the note to
MRS. General Barlow, at General
Meade's Headquarters, he handed it to
one of his staff and told him to place a
white handkerchief upon his sword and
ride in a gallop toward the enemy's
line and deliver the note to Mrs. Bar
low. The officer promptly obeyed the
order. He was not fired upon, and, on
being met by Union officer who ad-
vanced TO learn his business, he present
ed the note, which was received and
read with the assurance that it should
be delivered instantly.

THE PORTER HIS BooTJACK.
A Struggle In q Pullman Which Inter-
ested the Car.

ested the Car.
A traveller recently witnessed an
amusing episode ON train between
Chicago and Kansas City. A very re-
spectacle and well to do old gentleman
was in the car When bedtime came,
he struggled with his boots. He first
put one foot ON his knee and tugged.
As he was travelling his boots were new.
The boot wouldn't bulge in that posi-
ton, so he placed the toe of the other
boot against the heel and tried it that
way. The boot stuck. Then he hooked
his foot around the other leg and took
hold Of the heel and tried to work" it
of, but it wouldn't come. At last he
went in search of the porter and de-
manded q bootjack.
"Clar to goodness, boss, amt got one
In de cyah. Unc' George don't furnish
Us no bootjacks.
Sympathizing passengers tried to
think the old man out of his troubles,
and drummer. as usual, brought forth
the best suggestion:
MAKE the porter pull them of" he
said.
So the porter took off his jacket and
turned back his cuffs and went to work.
He tugged and pulled and seesawed
the boot back and forth and perspired
and grunted, but the boot wouldn't
move. The drummer filled the breach
again.
81 used to pull my grandfather's
boots off sometimes when was boy. !"
he said. Tell you how did it. Turn
round" he said to the darby. The
darky turned. Now take the boot be-
tween your legs, grasp the heel and toe
and yank. +" The darky did so. The old
gentleman chung desperately to the seat.
The boot began to move and finally slid
off, almost throwing the puller across
the car. The crowd applauded. Kansas

This represents n decrease of about j.
100000 acres. Illinois, Missouri, Kansas,
Nebraska, Texas and one or two other
less important states which produce corn,
show an increased acreage, but this Is
more than offset by the shrinkage in In
diana, Iowa, Ohio. Kentucky, Tennessee
and other states. The average. condition
of corn is only S2.9 or 50 points lower
than in July last year
The condition of winter wheat Sl.2, Is
2.7 noints higher than last month and 5.6
points higher than in July of last year;
that of spring wheat, 91.2, is 10 points
higher than last month, but Il points
lower than in July last year.
The average condition of spring, and
winter wheat combined, $40, is 1.5 higher
than that of the corresponding period last
wear. The average condition of the 0at
crop, S7.5, compared very unfavorably
with that of last year. but is only small
fraction of per cent less than the average
.Iuly condition for the last ten years.
The average condition of winter rye:
$50 is 11.2 points higher than in July OF
lnot veor hut that Of sDring rye, DO.O is
SO points lower than it was at that time:

points than that of July last.
There is Il decrease in the acreage or
Irish potatoes of S.4 as compared with
that of last year.
