-h wife sr Rrssia-

Americans have of referring to your wives by their husbands names" ob- served Glanvock Kaplon, an tntelli- gent Russian traveller. "I suppose the American holds his wife in as high es- teem as the Russian holds his. but if at home l should speak of my better half as Mrs. Kapion my friends would at once conclude that my domestic re- lations were not as pleasant as they should be, and that was thinking of A legal separation. When I first heard an American speak of his wife as Mrs. Jones, for example, I felt almost like presuming on my acquaintance by in- truding into his private affairs and ask. ing him what the trouble was at homa Yet soon learned that the custom was universal over here, but still I cannot get used to 1t. My wife is the nlain blunt way I speak in Russia of the lady who, I suppose, would have to call Mrs. Kaplon In polite society in America. In some of the more fashion able circles of St. Petersburg this American social custom has been adopted, though was told by a prom inent government official not long ago that the Czar disapproyed of it,"-St Louis Republic.

Strange Fish From the Bermudas.

Dr. E. H. Bean, the superintendent of the New York aquarium, returned from the Bermudas recently and brought with him several interesting specimens of fish peculiar to Bermudan waters There were beautiful fatfsh, with opal bodies, tinged with rainbow hues, in- cluding purple, crimson, bright green and bright blue. They are known as angel fish and are to the finny tribe what the gorgeous plumed peacock is to the fowl creation
 There was a slate colored hatfish, which Assistant Superintendent Spencer called surgeon, or doctor fish, and of which little is known.
 Another tank contained groupers, whose sides are striped like those of tigo~s o~d ieavar,7z
 There were also ten hind fish, each from 10 to i5 inches in length. The bodies are white, with brown and red spots Two squirrel fish. each 10 inches long, were included ill the collection. They are similar to our goldfish, except ing that their eyes resemble those of squirrels.

SOME KANSAS TALL STORIES.

Munchausen Humor of the Sunhower
 State.
 Several stories which the reaner cEln or cannot believe, just as be sees nL, were started after the State Ia" M reference to the malicious desrructaon of property and departed for parts un' known. Probably the best one was this: A man was riding along on horseback with jug of whisky ueo with 8 strap to the saddle horse After the blow had ceased the jug handle was found inside the jug and the strap was sticking out of the nozzle, the jug having been blown inside out without spilling a drop of liquor.
 Here Is another pretty fair one: A farmer was ploughing around an oD- long patch of ground one day, and at night the tract of unploughed land still contained about five acres. When he quit for the day he left the plough sticking iu the fur-07r. as farmers often do. The tornado came along and caught the plough, taking t around and around uhe Esnd until t was ali plOughed.
 A Kansan abroad recently found q crowd that did not seem to appreciate his conversation, so he pulled out his stock of tornado stories hoping to at- tract attention.
 @I saw cyclone once" said he, "that picked up 8 strawstack and moved it mile and put it back, straw on straw. as 1t was"
 Two or three of the auditors yawned and the Kansas man tried it again.
 Another time," said he, 'T saw twister suck sixty gallons of molasses out of barrel in front of a grocery store and distribute 1t to every family in town who had a bucket out on the back step for the milkman."
 He cleared his throat and began again: Back in the seventies we had a terrible cyclone in Western Kansas. It blew the cracks out of the fences, pulled cistern out of the ground, moved township line and changed the day of the week."
 This last fusillade induced one of the listeners to speak up. He said: 'I do not know much about cyclones, but once when was at sea saw water spout pick up tons and tons of water and carry it mile and"-
 Hold on," cried the Kansan. '1f you are going to degrade this conver- sation to the level of a common lying contest will retire" And he got up and walked away pompously.
 A prominent Kansan is accredited with telling this:
 ''Tell you what's "a fact. I have known 1t to blow twelve days and nights on stretch and hold a sheep up against the side of the barn until he starved to death."

Couldn,c Spank Her Son.

 The boy who howls was in evidence, the curled darling of his only own mother and the terror of everybody else, and he had kept the car in state of wild excitement and exhausted the patience of everybody, including his doting parent.
 "Oh, if your father were only herew she had said for the fiftieth time, as she tried vainly to restrain the bowling terror.
 At that he stopped bowling long enough to beat the air with his small shins, and the woman on the other side of him remarked audibly that cage was the proper place for savages like him.

 Roars and kicks from Master John ny.
 "Oh, wish your father were here to give you 8 good trouncing this very minute" she walled as she struggled with him.
 Then 1t was that the philanthropist of the company asserted himself. He had been trying in vain to read his morning paper ever since he started from home.
 "Allow me, madam" he said, bland ly; T am father myself, and I will be happy to chastise your cherub in behalf of his absent parent"
 "Oh, no, you won't, not if know it" said Johnny's mother, rising in her wrath like a dgress. ''There ain't that man living dare lay finger on that boy-his own father or any other ugly old catamount who thinks he knows 1t all," and she effectually shut off de hate by going into the next car and taking the sweet infant with her.

Powdered Coal as Fuel.

For some years past there have been experiments with coal dust and pulver- ized coal of various degrees of fine ness, with a view to ascertaining how much saving of fuel there Is in using coal in this fine state. It has been dem- onstrated that with suitable feeding machinery the saving may amount to over forty-five per cent. above the coal fed on ordinary fire bars. This point is reached in a cupola furnace of the most approved contraction. There are several methods of burning coal dust. One is the use of feeding apparatus e insisting of rotary brushes that throw the dust into the tire-bOx in contin- uous shower. This. of course, renders

A New Foe to American Trees.

New Foe to American Trees.
 Specimens of strange caterpillar discovered this spring on pear trees in Cambridge, Mass, are pronounced by Prof. Samuel Henshaw to be the ''gold- tail,' or euproctis chrysorrhea, hitherto unknown as an inhabitant of this country, although it is found in En- gland, and is abundant in Central and Southern Europe" When numer- ous, these caterpillars are very de- structive, feeding on such trees and plants as the apple, pear, plum, haw- thorn, bramble, elm, willow, beech, oak, hazelnut and hornbeam. At pres ent the invaders in Massachusetts are said to te confined to limited area in Somerville and Cambridge. The first Specimens seem to have made their appearance year ago, aud thus lar they have confined themselves to pear and apple trees. How they got across Uns ocean nobody apparently knows lt Is suggested thRt by vigorous measures they may be stamped out,

THE TEXAN RANGERS.
The Force New but a Shadow of What |
 Was.

The Force New but a Shadow of What It
 Was.
 In the appropriation bill which the legislature of Texas was recently called in extraordinary session to consider IS an item which provides for the malnte' nance of the ranger force. It will not exceed $25, 900, and the smallness or the sum emphasizes the decadence or an arm remarkable for its slngularlty and efficiency. There is nothing exactly similar among the forces of the world. The mounted constabulary of South All rica bears, perhaps, a closer resem- bIance than any other, though there are wide divergences.
 The Texas ranger wears no uniform. His dress is composed of stout, dark trousers, sometimes protected by over alls, a woolen shirt, heavy sack coat, sombrero, boots, stout gloves and spurs. His arms are a single action 45 callber colts six shooter and a winchester car bine-not rife. He furnishes his own horse and bedding. If the horse IS killed in action, the state replaces It. II it dies or is stolen, the ranger must get another. The pay is $50 month for privates, $40 for sergeants, $75 for lieu tenants and $100 for captains. The state feeds them. Their supplies include flour, coffee, sugar, lard, bacon, beef, mutton ana canned goods Thev slay much game and add variety 70 Ehe bill of fare in thar way.
 Owing t0 the settlement of the iron tiar and She gradual establishment or law and order the ranger force has stead fly decreased for some years past For IneEly lS consisted Ct six companies, numbering approximately 100 men each. Today there are not more than 50 men in the service, all told, nor are they of so high class as those who risked their lives back in the eighties. In those days the composition of the companies was unique. No native Texans were in the ranks. They were not enlisted because it was feared that their home affilia- tions would interfere with their work. The men came from all sections of the union, lured by the spirit of adventure.
 Many of them were collegians. In Company F 15 years ago were two grad uates of Yale, one of Harvard, one of Princeton, three from the University of Virginia and dozen from the smaller southern and western universities. Some of them now are high in political place in the state of their adoption. Others sleep in the sandy stretches that sweep down to the tawny river, and even their graves have been leveled by the constant winds.-Exchange.

Mysterious Glass Balls.

The small island of Billiton, between Sumatra and Borneo, has l0hg been famous for Its rich tin mines, which are controlled by the Dutch Govern ment. In describing the geology of Billiton before the Royal Academy of Sciences in Amsterdam recently, MT. Verbeek gave an account of the mys- teriOus glass balls of Billiton," which are found among some of the tin ore deposits. They are round, with groov- ed surfaces. Similar balls are occa- sionally found in Borneo and Java, as we'll as in Australia. MT. Verbeek thinks they cannot be artificial, and there are no volcanoes near enough to support the theory that they are vol canic bombs. Besides, he says, the glassy rocks produced by the nearest volcanoes are quite different in their nature from the material of the balls. He suspected that the mysterious ob. 5ects were elected, ages ago, from the volcanoes of the moon, and afterward fell upon the earth.

CHEAP IRRIGATION.

The Hercules Gas Engine Works of San Francisco, Cal, the largest builders of gas, gasoline and oil engines on the Coast, are making extensive preparations for the seasons business.
 They are filling several orders for large irrigating plants and as this line of their business increases each season, it is safe to say the farmers throughout the State are ag- water pumped by this cheap power.
 The Hercules Works are at present build ing an 30 H. P. engine for Geo. F. Packer, Colusa, which will raise 5000 gallons per minute from the river and distribute it over his land. This will be the largest gasoline pumping plant in existence.

A STRANGE DISCOVERY.
A Petrified Wooden Cross Found Imbed.
 ded In a Rock.

A Terrified Wooden Cross Found Imbed-
 ded In Rock.
 Recently there was unearthed in the stone quarries of Ira W. Logan, at the Junction of the Ohio and Beaver rivers. near Pittsburg, petrified wooden cross, 1t IS IS by 24 inches in dimensions and was lmbedded in the surface of a mas slve limestone rock which had been blasted from the quarry cliff.
 The formation of at least century's growth of limestone was above the point where the rock containing the cross was taken. The cross is supposed to have been the property of a Jesuit missionary and was evidently planted to symbolize the Christianization of the early Indian tribes.
 Historians say it is a relic of the fa- nous trip made by Celeron, the cele- brated French oommandant, who ex- plored the Alleghany and Ohio river valley in 1749. Numerous parties of Indian relic searchers have hunted for traces of the expedition, but beyond the finding of one iron plate it is said noth- ing has been discovered. The cross will be presented to the Carnegie museum. Chicago Times-Herald.

Natural Lixhtnin1-Rods.

The tall Lombardy poplar has rep utation in some parts of Europe as a kind of natural lightning-rod. Investi- gations recently made by pr. Hess in Switzerland appear to confirm this reputation of the tree. It's wood is an unusuall-- good conductor of electric ity as compared with others, while its great height and lack of spreading branches enable 1t to conduct a light ming stroke straight downward. In order, however, that poplar-tree may serve to protect building, according tO pr. Hess, its foliage should be al- lowed to grow as near the ground ss possible; it should be removed not less than six OF seven feet from the near est wall. No metallic objects on the building should De near the tree, and itS roots should penetrate a moist soil

the fuel supply independent of damp ness or the possibility of clogging up. Another plan is to drive the dust into the furnace by powerful currents of air. It seems to matter but little how the dust is fed. There is a manifest economy in its use, and as soon as the proper dust-feeding machinery is per fected the fuel problem will be much less difficult to struggle with.
