Fill tiny tumbler. with water and
cover 1t with bowl. Then tell the
company that you will drink the water
in the tumbler underneath without
moving the bowl
OF course no one will believe you,
and you ask all to turn their heads, or
close their eyes. If they will promise
not to look, until one of the party
counts ten. Immediately they have
turned their eyes You pick up another
glass of water and hastily swallow a
few mouthfulls. They hear the sound
but no one can look until ten is count

you drank is hidden again and the

The day of the consummation of the
nuptials had been named. They were
to be married In October, and Ginger
thought It would be a good and friend
ly thing to give an entertainment to a
few of his bachelor friends shortly be-
fore the wedding. AS no paper was
issued on Sunday, Saturday evening
in the latter part of September was
selected as the most appropriate time
for the affair.
So on that memorable Saturday even
| ing score or more of us, by special
invitation, repaired to Miss Kate's vine
clad cottage. which was situated Just
outside Of town, all prepared to have a
quiet, sociable. but jovial time.
Unfortunately for Ginger. in antici-
patton of the pleasure of the evening,
he had INDUCED a trille too much in his
favorite beverage during the afternoon.
Whether 1t was the whisky or the GIN
ger that worked the change in him, |
never could ascertain. but certain it
was that he was a trifle weak in his
| limbs and slightly incoherent in his
speech.
Miss Revere was alone in the parlor
when we arrived and received us with
true southern hospitality. How beau
tiful she looked, What vision of de-
light she appeared! There's nothing
half so sweet in life as loves young

eighty years ago. That sentiment held
good in 1866, and does yet If an old
timers opinion Is worth recording.

seen anyone look half so sweet" as
Kate did on that evening. She was the
very embodiment of loves young
dream
Well, the young lady sat down to the
piano, and for half an hour enter

other patriotic airs. When she con-
cluded Ginger rose. waltzed gracefully
to the old-fashioned aideboard, upon
which glasses and decanters were
placed, and requested us to imbibe. AS
one man we accepted the invitation.
| Then the prospective bridegroom raised
his glass, and suffered: "N-now. gem
gentlemen sh-show your bot-bottom."
We were about to empty when my eye
rested on Kate, and l raised my hand
warningly.
"Wh-what's natter" persisted Gin
ger. "Sh- show bot-bottom!"
Again raised my hand. Instinc-
lively every eye turned towsca re, AID
from me to Kate.
She stood erect, her tall form tower

black eyes flashed forth a glance of
seorn and contempt.
"Unmanly boor!" she cried, "is this
language fit for lady's presence? Be-

ward the door.

Russian schooIhoy Gardeners

over in Russia many of the schools
have connected with them small gar
dcns, orchards or grape arbors, in
which the boys and girls are taught to
work. Each day the schoolmaster,
who has charge of the garden, takes
his pupils out and teaches them how
to plant. hoe, rake and reap. In the
south of Russia, where the country is
almost trceless, the children learn how
to set out trees ana what the best
kinds ale, and in some provinces there
is n complete silkworm colony in each
school, and the pupils watch the Won
derful little silk makers eat the null
berry leaves and spin their cocoons,
and help all they can in the work of
caring for the colony. At other schools
bees are kept. and the boys and girls
learn TO handle them and guard them
while they are honeymaking.
In this way the boys and girls of
Russia by the time they have finished
their school work, know a good deal
about some pursuits which will help
them to make a living.
How would you enjoy some of these
things in connection with your school?

NEED OF FOREIGN CAPITAL.
Advantage of Development with American
MnnEN.

Enough is known of the gold yield of
1891; 10 make certain that the greatest i'll
crease of output has been in the United
States. Africa and Australia barely hold
their own. while the yield in this country
will exceed that of 1898 by probably at
least S1O.WO.OOO. Yet in none of the
other leading gold producing countries
of the world has 50 little capital from ELL
rope been invested.
English capitalists, finding less oppor-
tinities for investment in Africa and
Australia, have turned rather to British
Columbia and South America than 10
this country.

for thought a much greater amount of

Australia and South Africa than in those
of the United States, yet they barely hold
their own in yield.
A great deal is said in papers publish
ed in mining districts about the value of
INDUCING foreign capitalists 10 come in.
But is this wise: The very fact that. in
such a bad year for investing money
in anything as 1896, local capital has done
so much. would indicate that outside help
is not so very necessary.
If our mines are developed by our own
people it will mean that the profits will
remain here. That outside capital is
needed for British Columbia. for South
Africa and for Australia is evident; but
is that true of this country? The Russian
government and others jealousy guard
this source of wealth from foreigners
The local capitalist who invests money
in developing mines surely is doing
much more good than one who induces
foreign capital to come in and drain from
our greatest source of wealth.-NIining

stockmen demonstrate Against
Senator Aliens Proposed Cattle
Trail Through the Rosebud
Indian Observation-Disclosures Items.

Rosebud Cattle Trail Opposed.
The proposition of Senator Allen of Ne
braska to have opened up a cattle trail five
miles wide and sixty miles long across the
Rosebud Agency is not meeting with much
favor among the stocismen in the Black
Hills ranges. AS soon as the news was
received in Rapid City a rcmonstrance was
circulated throughout the country among
the stockmcn, which was signed by ninety
nine out of every hundred. Several OBJ
jections to the proposition have been raised.
First, the ranges north of the agency are
crowded to their utmost capacity and
by opening up a trail as proposed small
cattlemen from Nebraska would be at
liberty to drive their stock to the northern
ranges in the spring and in the fall drive
their cattle home to their ranges, which
has been untouched during the summer
Again, stockmen claim that to drive many
cattle v such u narrow trail would soon
eat up the feed, with a prospect of a
scarcity of water, which, taking both
together, would III a loss in weight to
the stock of more than enough to pay the
freight rates to market. There has already
been a great deal of trouble with the In
dams on account of cattle straying onto
the reservation, either driven by storm
or otherwise. 1t it thought that there
would be q great chance for more trouble
with cattle passing through the very
center of this reservation. The cattlemen
OH tile South Dakota ranges, as a rule, do
not take to the plan, and will fight most
bitterly an attempt to push the PROPOSE
ton.

the second quarter in 2ssa. The third

to Introduce the paint and get it rapidly
before the public they had adopted the
novel scheme of giving a bicycle free to
one merchant in every town, who would
order a given amount of the paint, and
push it. A very important part of the
deal, especially to the agent or manufacJ

the order for paint.
C.. NJ. Sullivan thought this an excellent
chance to get a bicycle free, so he ordered
the required amount of paint and planked
down the requisite amount ofcash, and the
agent left town happy.
In due course of time the paint arrived.

WORLDS WHEAT SHORTAGE.
Deficiency Estimated at 5o,sOO.Ooo
HundrcdNcight.


Tho Hungarian ministry of agriculture
has issued its annual estimate, in which it
describes the worlds harvest as eXtraor-
dinarily light. The total yield of wheat is
placed at 573, 4 5000 metric 100 weight,
while the present annual requirements are
estimated at G55. 100000 metric 100 weight.
1t is calculated that for 1897 and 1898 there
will he a shortage of 50,S0o, 900 100 weight.
The total supply of the year, reckoning
both the present stocks and the harvest, is
estimated from 6lO ,0OO. 900 to 65l 900, 600
metric 100 weight. The worlds deficit is
estimated as follows:
Rye. Is, 00D, 900 llectolitres.
Barley, aS,O0O.O 900 hectolitres.
Oats, 5S,0OO,O 900 hectolitres.
Corn, 59,0O3,00 0 hectolitrcs.
Tho report states that many exporting
countries, as European Turkey, Egypt,
Australia II Austria Hungary, will
either be unable to export grain or will be
compelled to import, while others. includ-
ing British India, Argentina and Chill will
have their wheat export considerably re-
Guced.
The favored countries are the United
States and Canada,
