The English Rothschilds.

The greatest financial genius of the
Rothschild family, though here have
been many of great talent, ives Nathan
Mayer of the second generation. who
established the house of N. NJ. Roths-
child & Co., in 1898, in London. He
flew to the stars, and groyclled in tho
mud for money. He welcomed all
transactions, big or little, wherewith
to turn the bankers penny. He was
the most daring speculator of his time
on the Stock Exchange, and the most
successful He had carrier-pigeons and
fast-sailing boats to bring him the
earliest news from the war centres of
Europe, and SO help him to manipulate
stocks. he followed Wellingtons army
TO Waterloo in person, and had relays
OF the swiftest horses, and fast yacht
lying in the harbor at Ostend So he
arrived at the London Stock Exchange.

Duke Of Wellington, then commanding
III Spain. drew on the English govern
ment for G3.000,00O, and the English
treasury was short, Nathan bought the
drafts at a big discount and at once

The Ugly Man and Science.

There once was a man with n misft
face. Il did not harmonize with his
men,al capacity nor the surrounding
scenery. One day candid friend
said to him: Your face is your mis-
fortune. Why not have it revamped,
new hinges put on aud a larger sprock-
CT adjusted. 1t seems to me that 1t
would look better if it were inflated q
little harder
And this was not all. Other candid
but less original friends told the man
that his face was ingrowing, that 1t
would fry eggs or throw a switch, and
others asked him if it panied him.
Il will get hunk on my face"
thought the man, by cutting off my
nose
SO the man severed his nasal men,
Der to spite his countenance. He then
repen.ed his action and went to a hos
piCal where several doctors performed
divers experiments on him. They made
him nose of celluloid trimmed his
ears, hemmed his mouth, pried out a
few teeth and made other changes in
the geography of his physognomy. He
was made into handsome man and
with little effort won a wealthy wild
CIV and lived comfortable if not happy
ever after.-Truth.

The Iinrd- NNhenf Krrinn.

The most productive of our hard
wheat regions Is unquestionaD,y the
valley of the Red river OF the North.
This great aluvial plain. which drains
northward to Hudson Bay. Is now an
immense wheat field, gr.digcned by
railroads and dottel with towns and
villages. To move the crop TO the mi Is
OF Minneapolis and TO the elevators at
head of Lake Superior taxes the eler-
gie3 and equipments OF the railroad
companies to their fullest capacity. It
IS great sight TO loolI over any por-
ton OF this valley in the fall, from the
heights which skirt it on the east. and
see hundreds of threshing outfits at
work, lines of farm wagons moving to-
wards the elevators at the railroad sta
tions, and long freight trains going to-
wards Minneapolis or Duluth. Tho
Esor River valley has been well named
the Bread Basket Of America" It's
soil is very deep, and is apparently in
eXhaugtible in fertility. L X the valley
CT the Volga in Russia and the plains
Of Sicily at the base of Mt Aetna, the
Red River valley viii probably be de-
voted to the growth of wheat for many
centuries. Here hard wheat reaches its
highest perfection in he grain known

ed the heaviest YIELDS per acre known
IN any part OF America, except on the
plains Of eastern Washington or the

Mysterious Glnss Balls,

The small Island of Billion, between
Sum2tra and Eorneo, has long been
famous for its rich tin mines, which
are controlled by the Dutch govern
ment. In describing the geology of
Billion before the Royal Academy of
Sciences in Amsterdam recently Mr..
Nefteok gave an account of the mys-
tericus glass balls Of Billion" which
are found amons some of the tin ore
deposits Ihey are round, with groov-
ed surfaces. Similar balls are occas-
ionally found in Borneo and Java. as
well as in Australia. Mr., Verbeck
thinks they cannot be artificial and
there are 10 volcanoes near enough to
support lhe theory thai they are vol
canic bombs. Besides, he says. the
CLASSY rocks produced by the near
os- volcanoes are quite different in
their nature from the material Of the
balls, Vie suspected that the mysteri-
Gus objects were elected ages ago from
the volcanoes of the moon and after,
ward fell upon tie earth.

AN ODD SIGNATURE.
The Woman Writes One-Haif and Her
Husband the Other Half.

A woman named Caroline Gentry
kept a snug bank account in an In
diana town not far from the Ohio
line. Her signature was very odd and
easy to recognize. Her given name,
Caroline, was written in the hand of
a woman cramped with age. The sur
name, Gentry, was written in free,
flowing masculine hand as different
from the other as the chirography of
teacher of penmanship differs from
that of common clodhopper.
Naturally the curiosity of the bank
officials was aroused and they sought
an explanation. She cheerfully gave

Beaten At Their Own Game.
Farmer Buck Wins a Clever Bet From
Bunco Sharps.

David Buck is one of the farmers Of
Tioga County who reads the news
papers, and to this fact he attributes
his escape from a neat trap laid for
him by pair of sleek Alecks, at the
same time beating them at their own
game.
One day last week a dapper fellow
drove up TO Farmer Bucks home, on
the outskirts OF Mansfield, and asked
to be shown the adjoining farm, be-
longing to widow, for whom Farmer
Buck is agent. The stranger propos-
ed the usual drive and Mr. Buck
assented. In the course of their
drive they were accosted by seedy.
looking individual, who said he had
walked from New York, where cum
nlng Yankees had feeced him, he
said, of several hundred dollars
Il" but learned their trick he add
ed, and producing three playing cards,
he proceeded to explain the modus
operandi. The usual wagers for lur-
ing the unwary were offered by the
quasi New Yorker, and freely accept
ed by the farmer until the latter was
$aoo ahead of the game.
Pressed for a higher wager, the
farmer, who by this time had become
solicitous for his safety, seized the op'
portunity for getting rid of the inter
esting sharpers. He invited them to
accompany hun to his home, to pro-
cure his bank book, after which he
suggested he would drive to the
Mansfield Bank and draw sum suii-
cent to lay good, stiff wager. En-
tering his home, Farmer Buck. whose
reference to his bank book was IN

picked up a loaded shotgun, and
exposing the muzzle of the weapon
from second-story window, he per,
suaded the visitors to move on, u
they had any fear of being turned
over to the authorities. The strangers
acted on the suggestion, and when
Farmer Buck had his winnings ex-
amlned at the bank he was agreeaoy
surprised to learn that the money was
not spurious.
