So many different styles Of
oil stoves have been put on
the market during the past
ten years, that it was with
difficulty that the best could
be determined until the
PrimuS was introduced a
year ago. This style burns
a kerosene vapor and is nom
explosive; yon can turn it
upside down and no danger
will result.
The oil tank cannot be fill
ed while burning as the re-
mOVal of the filler cap eX-
tinguishes the flame in
stantly. In point of Simpli-
city it has no equal for it has
no wick, burns any grade of
kerosene and the flame can
be regulated. 1t produces a
heat of from 2,Ioo deg. to
1900 deg. Fair. and consumes
one quart of oil in five hours
consecutive burning. This
means an expense of 2 cents
per hour. Nothing but solid
brass is used in the manu-
faCture of the PrimuS, and
when in operation it is abSo-
lutely odorless. 1t will bring
a quart of water to boiling in
3 minutes.
We have half dozen styles.
single, double and triple
burners; extensions for sim
giles so that three vegetables
may be cooked at once.
Soldering irons, flat iron
heaters. ovens and every
thing necessary to cook a
meal.

TTala. a Native.
There was another stabbing ARRAY
early Sunday morning, this time IN
the ward of a native by the name of
Uala. who lives in a small house near
the old Fish Market.
At about O'Clock Uala heard his
dog bark. and ran out of the house to
see what was the matter. He found
Benson. a white man employed in Cat
ton & Neirs machine shop, in rather
serious argument with the dog. He
told Benson to get out of the yard, as
he had no business there. The latter
answered with curses, saying that he
would go wherever he pleased. once
again he called to the man to go, but
receiving the same kind of reply, went
and attempted to shove the man out.
Benson took a step backwards, pull
ed out his knife and cut Uala across
the abdomen, making slash about a
foot or more and quarter Of an 1nch
deep. Uala jumped back, and as he
did so. Benson gave him another cut IN
the arm. Uala jumped in, took the
knife out of the white mans hand and
held him at bay until the police, hav-
ing been summoned by small boy,
arrived and took the fellow down.

Credit For Farmers.

We have lately given some account
of the operation of agricultural banks
in Europe, which have done very
much for the farming class by making
it possible for it to secure loans on
such security as farmers can offer.
The farmer is especially in need OF
credit, for the interval must always be
considerable between the preparation
OF the soil and the harvesting of the
crop. He must spend money long
time before he can get any back. As
to most of his products, he may be
said to be carrying on a business
where the stock is turned over but
once year. Furthermore, as a crop
natures all over the country at the
same season. and generally within a
period OF few weeks, it is particular.
ly important to the farmer that he
should not be compelled to realize
on his harvests Immediately. He
would break the market if he were
Obliged to sell all his crops as soon as
gathered, and vet he must sell good
deal, for he has been under expense
for months without any income.
While the farmer more than almost
any other producer needs credit. he
cannot generally ofet commercial
security. and real estate is not good
security for ordinary banks of dis
count to take, and it is unlawful for
our national banks to accept it. The
result is that the farmer is usually
compelled to sell his produce at an
unpropiuous time or to get credit of
merchants and private bankers for
which usurious rates are obtained. In
this country there has been practically
no effort to supply this need for agri-
cultural credits, although the brokers
and private bankers and factors who
have made practice OF lending to
farmers have made a great deal of
money out of it. for the absence of
competition enables them to get a
high rate for money. and the farmer
pretty generally pays his debts.
1t is singular tha, in our own coun-
try no effort has been made to afford
agriculture in general the capital it
needs for the improving of land and
for carrying on farm operations dur
ing the long intervals between the
annual marketing of crops. The
changed conditions OF the times make
1t imperative that farming must be
conducted upon more scientific prin-
ciples so as to get out of the land
more than it has heretofore produced.
and that necessity leaves no alterua-
tive but either to afford the farmer
enlarged credit facilities or to leave
the present landholders to be rozen
out by insolvency, with the result of
transferring this industry to 4 class
possessing ampler means and able TO
cultivate larger farms upoA improved
methods.-./cHysGIef Commerce aHi

Why We Are Righ, Handed.

Primitive man. being naturally an
aggressive animal defended himself
against wild beasts with his fists and
nails. He fought for his food and his
womankind, which his enemies were
always trying to take from him. The
first movement on being attacked is
to endeayor 10 protect the most ex-
posed and vulnerable part of the
body. For the boxer and the fighter
the heart is undoubtedly the most
vulnerable place. A hard blow in
that region may easily kill man, and
consequently primitive man used the
right hand to tight with and the LETT
to protect the heart and to ward of
the blows directed to that region.
When, therefore, arms Of otfense and
defense were introduced and replaced
teeth and fists, it was the right hand
that welded the sword and lance.
while the left held the shield and
buckler before the region ofthe heart.
The enormous difference between
the use Of the right and the left hand
IN our present civilization has this
very simple origin. In the frs, place,
the superiority OF the right over the
LEFT hand was only brought into evil
dence during combat, but it soon
spread and became. universal. Since
the introduction Of lethal weapons
the right hand became naturally ac-
custome to the manipulation OF the
lance, the sword and the knife. and
the nerves OF the righ. side soon be.
came more flexible and more under
the control OF the will than the
muscles Of the left side.-N.g York

TIE FROZEN BREEZE.
A Strange Phenomenon Observed by
Lover OF Nature.

Did you ever see a frozen breeze ?
You might have seen one if you had
gone with me into the country one
winter morning, SAYS the Country.
This was the way it came to be
frozen: All night long the air had
been laden with mist. Over the fields,
in the hollows, all through the woods,
even on top of the hills, the fog hung
heavily. All that time the wind blew
steadily, but not fercely, from some
northern quarter.
At nightfall the mercury kll below
the freezing point, so that this mist,
as it dtifted through the trees, was
frozen upon their branches and twigs.
The elms, the oaks and the other leaf.
less trees took their ice coating quite
evenly. but the thick, impenetrable
masses of the needless of the pine
trees were covered noticeably only up
on the sides toward the north or
northwest, from which the wind came.
The strong. steady breeze bent the
branches to leeward while it was icing
them, and when the wind came down
in the morning they remained just
there, leaning to the southwark, iced
and frozen to Immortality. but look
ing just as if the wind were still stead
ily blowing.
Even in the afternoon, when the
rain began to fall and the wind came
from quite another quarter, that
north wind of the night before still
remained white and frozen over the
.piny woods, the pale, rigid corpse OF
thing once keenly alive.
