ACTRESSES who are mixed up in sensa-
tional divorce suits have become Sc
common that there is no longer SO
much advertising to be obtained in this
way as once was the case. Press agents
for the divinities Of the stage are driven
to resort to all sorts of unusual devices
to get them properly before the public.
1t is but few weeks ago that one act
ress got herself bitten by a rattlesnake
and had her maid suck out the poison
at least the story which was sent to
the papers said she was bitten, but we
have our doubts about the genuineness
Of the snake. That was pretty clever.
But the device of Agnes Walker, who
does song and dance turns in a New
York music hall, is the best up to date.
Her scheme Is to commit suicide, or
rather attempt 1t, out of jealousy of a
hated rival who Is supposed to be walk
ing away with the affections of the
young man whom Agnes claims as her
exclusive property. She tried it on down
at Bath Beach the other day. 1t didn't
work as well as was expected, but that
was Agnes fault and her press agents.
They were too clumsy in working it. 1t
Is really good scheme, and some clev-
er Thespian will yet make a real sensa-
ton with it.

Grandfather of Two Senators.

Stephen Mallory White is a Senator
from California and Stephen Russell
Mallory Is a Senator from Florida.
There Is more than a mere coincidence
in the similarity Of names. The men
are cousins. Senator Mallory's father
and Senator Whites mother were
brother and sister. 1t Is little curious
that the two Senators should represent
States as far apart as it is possible for
them to be-one on the Atlantic and the
other on the Pacific coast. The grand
father Of the two Senators was one of
the earliest settlers of Florida, while
their grandmother was Spanish wom-
an Of fine stock, considerable beau
ty, and remarka BILE constitution, retain
ing to her old age all of her faculties.
Much Of Senator Whites sturdiness
comes from his grandmother He was
not born in Florida, for his father and
mother crossed the plains in 1850, at
tracted to California by the reports Of
'newly discovered gold. The Senator
was born in San Francisco in 1858. The
Mallorys, on the other hand, remained
in Florida, and now the whirligig of
time and the strange happenings Of pol
itics reunite the families in the Senate
Post.

Brooklyn Citizen: Those who turn up
interesting facts point out that the big
gest farm in the world may be found
in the southwest part of Louisiana. 1t
is owned and operated by a syndicate
of northern capitalists and embraces
100000 acres of land, which were
originally big pasture for cattle. The
land is devoted to the cultivation of cot
ton, corn, sugar and rice. East and
west the estate extends 100 miles. The
Southern Pacific Railway runs through
it for nearly forty miles. A good deal
of attention is paid to raising cattle, Of
which the syndicate owns 10000 head.
The company operates several steamers
on the navigable rivers that run
through their mammoth farm, and they
have also rice mills, a shipyard, ice
plant and bank. If the syndicates will
grapple the problem Of agriculture
more and manufactures less, perhaps
there will be a more reasonable excuse
for tolerating great combinations Of
capital.

A GOOD THING FOR WOMEN TO RE-
MEMBER.

That in addressing Mrs. Pinkham they
are communicating with a woman-a
woman whose experience In treating
woman's ills is greater than that of any
living physician-male or female.
A woman can talk freely to woman
when it is revolving to relate her private
troubles to a man-besides, man does not
understand-simply because he is a man.
Many women suffer in silence and drift
along from bad to worse, knowing full well
that they should have immediate assist
ance, but a natural modesty impels them to
shrink from exposing themselves to the
questions and probable examinations of
even their family physicians. 1t is un-
can consult a woman, whose knowledge
from actual experience is greater than any
local physician living.
The following invitation is freely offered |;
accept it in the same spirit.
Women suffering from any form OF fe-
male weakness are invited to freely COM
municate with Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn,
Mass. All letter are received, opened,
read and answered by women only, thus
has been established the eternal confidence
between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of
America which has never been broken and
has induced more than 10000 sufferers to
write her for advice during the last four
months. Out of the vast volume OF expert
elce which she has to draw from, it is more
tnan possible that she has gained the very
knowledge that will help your case. She
asks nothing in return except your good
will and her advice has relieved thousands.
Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very
foolish if she does not take advantage OF
this generous offer of assistance.-Lydla H..
Pinkham Medicine Co., Lynn, Mass.

however, that the whole lot was in dan
ger Of dissolution from the improper
handling it had received. When this
fact became known the greatest excite
ment prevailed in Kentucky. The news
papers issued extras telling of the
threatened misfortune. So intense was
the alarm 1t was almost impossible to
transact business of any sort. There
was talk of calling an extra session of
the Legislature and of memorializing
Congress. At length a Chicago firm
succeeded in getting permission from
the revenue department to bottle the
liquor. This was done and Kentucky
was saved. But it was narrow escape.

Gas from Sawdust.

The town of Deseronto, in Canada,
: where there are several large lumber
mills, Is partially lighted by gas made
from sawdust. The sawdust is charg-
yed in retorts which are heated by q
wood fire, the gas from the retorts
:passing into a series of coils and thence
into the purifiers, which are similar
to those used for coal gas. Lime is
the principal purifying agent employ
ed. When it passes out of the retorts
: the gas possesses an Odor much less
t1isagreeable than that of ordinary
lighting gas, and resembles somewhat
that of smoke from a fire of green
wood or leaves. The works in use are
small, turning out daily $40 cubic me-
ters of gas, for the production of which
about two tons Of sawdust are requ1r-
ed. A man and boy furnish all the Ia
4bor needed at the works. The gas In
an ordinary burner gives an illumina-
tion of about eighteen candle power.
The best quality comes from resinous
woods. A quantity Of 100 kegs OF
sawdust leaves a residue Of twenty
kegs OF charcoal.

A Perpendicular Farm.

i Julian Hawthorne writes Of "a Trop-
! ic Climb" describing one of his expe-
, riences in Jamaica, for the Century.
MIR. Hawthorne says: The land up here
4 is doubtless government land, which
sells for about fifty cents an acre. If.
/ showever, 1t is measured on the hori-
'zontal, such an estate as this must be
scheap, indeed; for l don't believe the
horizontal extent of this plantation,
(which might have had an area of a
.Quarter of an acre, was more than fif-
teen or twenty feet. 1t is perpendic-
! eeular region. The most convenient way
Ito operate such holdings would be to
srig a derrick to the top, and swing the
imam with the hoe by rope in front of
; his field of labor. He would have to
/ be careful in gathering his produce.
! lest it should escape his grasp, and roll
! half mile down into the depths of the
valley.

JIM AND JOHN

Jim and John were townsmen and chums
and went out to see baseball. 1t was a red
hot afternoon, and the bleachers were like
frying-pans at breakfast time. Jim had a
bald head and John had crick in the
back. They sat for an underdone roast and
laughed at everything. Jim's bald spot
was shining mark, like brass doOr-plate
A stray ball, fierce and sharp, from false
bat, struck the spot and ploughed a furrow.
1t dazed him. Jim's eyes and face looked
like a sick OWLS, and John laughed. He
laughed an hour straight along. The game
ran late into twilight. Meanwhile, John
had shed his coat, and cool, damp draught
got in its work on his back. The time came
to leave, but John couldn't. He couldn't
bend or get up. Lumbago had set in its
worst form. He laughs best who laughes
last, and Jim had revenge. But they got
down town to Jim's room, when he said,
"He're's something all those athletes use
for hurts and ailments, and it's the best
known cure for lame back" He rubbed it
on Johns back and some on his own head.
They were both feeling cured and comfort
able from the use of st. Jacobs Oil, which
Jim always kept in a handy place. He was
a sport himself and knew what was best.
They went to bed. John laughed in his
sleep. Both rose in the morning fresh as
daisies; then Jim laughed at John.

One of the current magazines has an
elaborate treatise on genius and sta.
ture, in the course of which it is sought
TO show that men Of genius are not as
rule, of commanding stature. The
effort to connect the two Is a some
what labored one, however. Some one
once asked Mr.. Lincoln how long a
mans legs ought to be. He said
THAT is Il very serious question, and
l have given much thought to it @
great many times. Some should be
longer and some shorter; but want tC
tell you that n mans legs ought al
ways to be long enough to reach from
his body to the ground" When this
condition is satisfied, genius ought tC
develop itself without further refer
ence to physical conditions.

Grant and Hancock at Night Alarm.

Grant and Hancock at q Night Alarm.
When Hancock's 8 headquarters were
reached, the party remained with him
for some time, awaiting the arrival OF
the head Of Warren's troops Hancock 6
wound received at Gettysburg had not
thoroughly healed, and he suffered such
inconvenience from it when in the sad
die that he had applied for permission
TO ride in spring ambulance while on
the march and when his troops were not
in action. He was reclining upon one
of the seats Of the ambulance, convers-
ing with General Grant, who had dis
mounted and was sitting on the ground
with his back against tree, whiting
a stick, when the sound Of firing broke
forth directly in front. Hancock spraGe
up, seized his sword, which was lying
near him, buckled it around his waist
and cried, my horse, my horseP' The
scene was intensely dramatic and re-
called vividly to the bystanders the cry
of Richard III on the field of Bosworth.
Grant listened moment without chang
ing his position or ceasing his whiting
and then remarked: "They are not fight
ing. The firing is all On one side. II
takes two sides to start fight. la
few minutes the firing died away, and
it was found that the enemy was not
advancing The incident fairly illus
trates the contrast in the temperaments
of these two distinguished soldiers. =
