Stamp Denominations.

Of the $50 stamps which have been
issued the values have ranged from
one cent to $4,000. Five dollars is the
highest value among postage stamps,
but newspaper stamps reach the Sl0O
mark, while a revenue stamp may
represent $4,000. --

MANAGEMENT of Late Cabbage.

There's nothing better than frequent
cultivation of cabbage to make it grow.
Every time the soil in stirred, and
especially is such warm, wet weather
as the whole country has lately had,
there is liberation Of plant food in as
large amounts as even gross feeding
crop of cabbage can require. 1t is in
such seasons as this that care must be
taken to upset late cabbage and loosen
some of their roots so as to check
growth. Without this the largest cab
bage will split open and will soon spoil.

Sandow's ROYAL Woman Rival.

Sandow has a rival, if reports are
to be believed, who will probably not
meet him on the field of battle. This
is the Archduchess Maria Therese, of
Austria, who Is the strongest woman
in the world, and certainly the strong
est in a royal family. She is said to
be capable of lifting man in the air

Queen Victoria has a large aviary,
in which she takes keen interest. It
is situated on the private road be-

Frog Skins For Gloves.

The latest in the realm of glove.
making is gloves of frog skin. This
skin is said to be the finest and tough

for them is not great, but of sufficient

Protecting Tomatoes From Frost.

By exercising little extra care, the
season for ripe tomatoes may be pro-

the usual period. As soon rs there
are indications of frost, cover the toma.

Causes of Poor Milk.

From many farm houses have come
complaints that the milk seemed unu-
sually poor, or, at least, the cream
failed to rise in a satisfactory manner.
In most of these cases the cause may
be found in the fact that the milk has
been set where it was so warm that it
soured before perfect separation could
take place. In some cases, however,
dampness and poor ventilation are re-
sponsible. Temperature of milk room
should not 60 much above seventy de-
grees, and ventilation must be good.

The CHRONICLE has no apologies
to make for favoring a proposition
we believe to be just and right. 1t
was a foregone conclusion a month
ago that the proposition would be
defeated by the prejudice of the
people, which was aroused by men
of selfish motives, yet, unlike many
others who waited to see which way
the wind was blowing, We win not
be forced to swallow all We have
said in the past concerning the re-
forms needed in Tennessee. We
regret that the eyes of the people
have not been opened earlier, but
when their prejudice has been re-
moved and the question is a clear
cut issue-that is to say, when the
people fully comprehend what re-
forms can be secured through a
Constitutional convention, then we
may safely predict that they will
bury the opposition to reform be-
meath an avalanche of ballots that
will leave no room to doubt what
they think of the deception that
has been resorted to in this contest
to defeat the movement for reform

HANNA WINS OUT,
., Names thu Chairman of the State Cen.
trail Committee.

=, Names tina Chairman of the State Cen-
trail Committee.
Toledo, o., June 2S.--The Ohio Repub-
lican state convention assembled here
yesterday and will continue today. The
occasion has been one Of bitter fac
tional fighting for two days. Senator
Hanna wanted Major Charles +. w.
Dick, secretary of the national commit
tee, for state campaign chairman. Gov
ernor Bushnell and other state officers
wanted Chairman Kurtz, who has man
aged the past two campaigns, retained
in that place.
The contending factions carried their
claims into the meetings Of the delegates
by congressional districts yesterday aft
ernoon, and Hanna won by more than
two to one. He controlled the district
meetings and the convention more firm
ly than the st. Louis convention last
year. Major Dick claims the commit
teemen from fifteen of the twenty-one
congressional districts, with two dis
tricts contested and four districts con-
coded to Kurtz. The Kurtz men con-
cede their defeat, but claim eight out
Of the twenty-one committeeman. Hanna
and Bushnell had conferences again last
night. While the governor regrets the
defeat of Kurtz he will not decline re-
nomination.
The convention was called to order
In the deliberately decorated Armory
shortly after p. IN. All the $500 seats
were occupied, and standing room was
in demand. AS Representative rosvenor,
ex-Secretary Charles Foster, Governor
Bushnell, Senator Hanna and other lead
ers entered the hall they were given
ovations. Only routine business was
transacted; the usual speech-making
was attended to. Grosvenor Is temporary
chairman. After the convention ad-
journed the committees met and the con-
ferences between the Hanna and Dick
and the Bushnell and Kurtz men con-
tinued. General Grosvenor was made
a member Of the state committee from
Kurtz's old home district. Kurtz Is now
a resident of the Columbus district,
which was carried by Dick, as was the
Springfield district in which Governor
Bushnell resides.

When Benjamin Franklin went to
Paris as the representative of the re-
yolted American colonies, he had to be
presented to the king, and it was mat
ter Of some solicitude with him how he
should array himself for that ceremony.
He was anxious not TO be considered
lacking in respect for the French court,
where much formality regarding dress
was observed, but he knew it would be
an affectation for so simple a repub-
lican as he was to initiate the court
dress. He decided, therefore, and wise
ly, to appear in a plain suit of black
velvet, with white silk stockings and
black shoes.
Nevertheless, be deemed it best to
make one concession to the French fash
ion of the time by wearing a wig
something which he had not been ao-
customed TO do. He ordered of wig
maker the largest one the man had,
and in season for the presentation the
man himself brought the wig and set
about trying it on.
But do all he could the man could
not squeeze the wig on the philoso-
piers head. He tried and tried and al
so essayed to convince franklin against
the evidence of his senses that the wig
was fit. Finally Franklin said:
81 tell you, man, your wig is not
large enough. "
Upon this the Frenchman threw the
wig down in rage.
Monsieur, he said, "that is impos-
sible. 1t is not the wig which is too
small. 1t is the head which is too large"
Accepting the rebuke as deserved,
Franklin went to the presentation with
out any wig and found there that the
simplicity of his dress and the honesty
and candor of his manners won him
more esteem at the court than any con-
cession to fashion could possibly have
done Youths Companion.

HOW TO Find our.

Fill bottle or common glass with urine
and let 1t stand twenty-four hours; a sedi.
ment or settling indicates diseased con.
dition of the kidneys. When urine stains
linen 1t is positive evidence of kidney
trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate
or pain In the back, is also convincing
proof that the kidneys and bladder are
out of order.
What To do.
There Is comfort in the knowledge SO
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy ful6lls
every wish in relieving pain In the back,
kidneys, liver, bladder and every part Of
the urinary passages. 1t corrects inability
to hold urine and scalding pain in passing
1t, or bad effect following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that un-
pleasant necessity of being compelled TO
get up many times during the night to
urinate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-ROot is soon realized II
stands the highest for its wonderful cures
OF the most distressing cases. Il you need
a medicine you should have the best. Sold

Tossed on the Foaming Billows

You may never have been, but If you
cross the Atlantic, no matter how smooth
the watery expanse, without sea sickness
you are-well lucky voyager, that Is all.
Old tars who have spent their lives on the
ocean waves, who were almost born, so to
speak, with their ''sea legs on" suffer now
then from sea sickness In very tempestuous
weather. Sea captains, tourists, commercial
travellers and yatchsmen say that there is
no finer safeguard againt nausea than
Hostetter's Stomach Bltters, and 1t has
been equally reliable as preventive by
invalids who travel by steamboat and rail-
road, and who sometimes suffer as much in
those conveyances as ocean travellers do in
steamships. Bili0usness, constipation, sick
headache and disorders of the stomach
caused by oppressive climatic influences
or unwh0lesome or unaccustOmed food or
water, always yield to the Bitters speedily.
This popular medicine also remedies rheu-
matte, kidney and nervous disorders, and
the infrmities incident to increasing years.

Spider Silk.

Notwithstanding the failure commot--
ly attending attempts hitherto made to
obtain from spiders, gathered collective
ly for the purpose, an amount of silk
sufficient for industrial uses, it is now
claimed by M. Cambolle, French nat
uralist, that the Madagascar species of
this insect is susceptible of management
capable of some practical results in this
line. He has found that the spider of
that country is capable of producing at
the beginning Of its work more than
100 yards of thread per hour, increas-
ing in quantity until it actually pro-
duces more than 100 yards in that
length of time. His experiments also
show that this thread has about the
consistency and strength Of the thread
yielded by the silkworm that is fed on
mulberry leaves. A peculiar little ma
chine winds the threads ON bobbins as
soon as it issues from the spider. New

Nashville, Tenn, June 23.-The reun-
ion of ex-Confederate soldiers met here
yesterday and the city is full Of the vet
Grams who fought under the stars and
bars. The principal question is who
shall be the next chief
General Gordon having declared that he
will not accept the office again. The
principal speech of the opening session
was made by Judge Jonh II. Reagan, of
Texas, and its keynote is given in the
following:
1.-THE facts of history vlndicate us
against the charge of being either rebels
or traitors, and show that we were not
the authors of "a causeless war; brought
about by ambitious leaders, but that
our brave men fought and suffered and
died, and our holy men Of God prayed,
and our noble women suffered patiently
and periodically all the privations and
horrors Of a great war, cruelty forced
upon us, for the purpose of upholding
the constitution Of the United States, as
preserving the rights of the several states
to regulate their own domestic policies
and Of protecting the people against
spoliation and robbery by dominant
majority"
