Orce farmer owned 800 BUSH
els of wheat, which he sold not to
a single grin merchant, but to T.
500 different dealers bushel each.
A few of them paid in cash, but far
the greater number said it was not
convenient ther; they would pay
later. A few mouths passed, and
the mans bank account ran low.
"How is this" he said. MY 1900
bush-ls of grain should have kept
me in affluence until another crop
is raised, but I have parted with the
grain and have instead only a vast
number of accounts, so small and
scattered, that cannot get around
fast enough to pay expenses.
So he posted up public notice
and asked all those who owed him
to pay quickly. But few came.
The rest said. mine is only a
small matter, and l will go and pay
one of these days" Forgetting
that though each account is very
small, when all were put together
they meant large amount to the
man. Things went on thus. The
man got to feeling so badly that he
fell out of bed and awoke, and run
ming to his granary he found his
1900 bushels of wheat still there.
He had only been dreaming.
Moral The next day the man
went to the publisher of the paper
and said: Here sir, is the pay for
your paper, and when next years
subscription is due, you can depend
on me to pay it promptly. I stood
in the position of an editor last
night and I know how 1t feels to
have ones honestly earned money
scattered all over the country in
small amounts.

Boys at heart are very generous and
helpful to one another. There are sew
eral streets in the more crowded districts
where there is enough slope for coasting
and where the pavement is of asphalt
They are great favorites, as may be sup
posed, to the owners of roller skates. OF
the crowds Of urchins who utilize them
only about one-half own skates, so to
ease the lot of the nonowners the boys
have invented series of extraordinary
sports and exercises based upon one leg
ged skaters. The commonest game is
where two boys, each with one skate,
go off together, each with an arm on
the others shoulder. They push them
selves with the disengaged foot or they
scull in grotesque manner to the high
er part of the street, and then, turning
about, they coast down with great vigor

About one month ago my child,
which is fifteen months old, had an
attack of diarrhoea accompanied by
vomiting. I gave it such remedies
as are usually given in such cases,
but as nothing gave relief, we sent
for physician and it was under his
care for a week. At this time the
child had been sick for about ten
days and was having about twenty
five operations of the bowels every
twelve hours, and we were con-
WINGED that unless it soon obtained
relief it would not live. Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy was recommended, and I
decided to try it. I soon noticed a
change for the better; by its con-
tinued use a complete cure was
brought about and it is now per-
fectly healthy.--C. L. Boggs,

have learned new way to cook
beefsteak, which may also be new to
others. Heat half teaspoonful of salt
smoking hot in the frying pan, then put
In the steak and turn often. Instead of
drawing out the juice, as it always will
to salt the meat while cooking, this
method retains the juice and makes it
very palatable. In making meat balls
try the same plan, leaving out the salt
when mixing, and heat the salt very
hot in the frying pan.
A nice way of cooking chopped steak
especially for sick people, is to have the
frying pan piping hot, then put in the
chopped beef and stir quickly Let it
cook until it loses its red look, turn it
out upon hot plate and serve at once.

IT WAS A MINE.
Additional Proof That the Maine Was
 Blown Up by Spaniards.

oloWh tp
 London, April 5.-Details have been obtained of the manufacture in this country of submarine mines in London for Spain. which was first brought to the attention of the United States em- bassy on March ,.
 Lieutenant Commander J. c. Colwell, the United States naval attache, has since investigated the matter and has made a report on the subject to tho United States government. The facts learned strongly tend to show that Ha- vana harbor was mined, and they un- questIonaply prove that Spain pur. chased mines for that purpose. The firm of Lattimer, Rhodes & Clark, electrical engineers, during 1SS7-SS filled a larg3 order for Spain for a lot of mines in which were used 1411 tons of gun cotton. The work was done under the surveil- lance of General Fernandez and Cap tain Bustamento.
 The latter was then the head of the Spanish torpedo school. By the order of these officers the mines were divided into four consignments-for Havana, Ferrol, Cadiz and Cartagena. The mines were manufactured under the direction of J. P. Gibbons, after Gibbons patents. which are described in Slemen's book on torpedoes and mines.
 Gibbons, from whom the information Is obtained and who furnished Lieuten- ant Commander Colwell with a written statement of the above facts and out lined his theory of the explosion which wrecked the Maine, was then employed by the firm as superintendent of the torpedo department. He also says a similar lot of torpedoes was manufac- tured for Spain in 1896.
 The manager of the Westminster En- gineering company, which is the sue cessor of the aforementioned firm and with which Gibbons is connected, con- firms the latter's statement as to the manufacture of mines for Spain. Gib-
