Philip special TO the Picayune SAYS:
When the John Il. Meigs had her
toreeas tie blown off there were six
men hurled by the shock into the
Mississippi river who never came
~ the surface. Three others were
thrown into the river but were
not so badly injured as TO
prcvent their climbing back upon the
boat Contrary to the a6vices re-
eeived Saturday night the Meigs did
not sink Immediately. Disabled as she
was. she was carried by the tide and
a stiff wind TO the east bank where
her stern grounded and her bow
swung out and pointed down
stream. Nearly everything of value
had been recovered before she lurched
oil the bank on which her stern rested
and plunged bow foremost into the
deep water of the channel The men
hurle d TO death by the dynamite never
saw the mine that exploded. The
shock came when IL was several feet
beneath the surface.
The six men killed were: Capt p. r.
Starr, Of vicllsburg; Sergt John New

Pat Carloe, from the same place; Fire
man J. ID. Malone; Ralph Rogers, coll

SOME LUCKY FRIDAYS,
Which Tend to Upset tho Popular
Superstition.

Sup0rB1t1t1Ons
Friday is, by a great many people in
America, regarded as an unlucky day.
The Spanish, however, look on it with
very different feelings; Columbus sailed
from Palos on Friday, August 8, 1902;
made ON Friday, October II, 1892, and
many of Spain's noted victories in war
have been achieved on this day of ILL
omen.
Columbus started on Friday, the 4th
of January. 1893, on his return journey
to Spain, to announce to Ferdinand and
Isabella the glorious result of the expe-
same year, also Friday, he disembarked
in Andalusia. He gained his first view
of the American continent on Friday,
the 18th day of June, 1893.
Americans might with good cause re-
gard the day as one of good luck instead
OF bad, for many stirring and happy
events in our history occurred on that
day. On Friday, November 10, 1920,
the Mayfl0wer first disembarked few
emigrants on American soil at Province
town, and on Friday, December %, 1920,
her passengers finally landed at Plym-
outh Rock.
On Friday, March 5, 1897. Henry VII.
of England gave to John Cabot his dis
patch for the voyage that resulted in the
discovery of the continent of North Amer
lea; George Washington was born on
Friday, February %, 1892; the union of
the colonies was made on Friday, May
20, 1875.
The battle of Bunker Hill was fought
on Friday. June II, 1775, and the sur
render at Saratoga took place on Friday,
October II, TIT, which event resulted
in Frances acknowledging us as ma
ton, and offering us material aid and
encouragement. On a Friday was dis
covered the treason of Arnold. Another
ever memorable Friday is that Of Octo-
Der 10, 1871, on which took place the
surrender Of Yorktown, and on Friday,
June Z, 1776, Richard Henry Lee read
the Declaration of Independence to the
Continental Congress.

Our National University.

1t is not too much to say that Presi-
dent Washington's bright dream of ma
tional education is largely realized-that
there is a national. seminary of learning
in the national capital in which the arts,
belles-lettres, and especially the sciences,
are taught in their fullest extent, there
by embracing all the advantages of Euro
spean tuition, with the means of Accusing
the liberal knowledge which is necessary
to qualify our citizens for the exigencies
Of public as well as private life.' It is
a nameless and structureless university,
standing OH a higher plane than any local
school, howsOever exalted in aim and
work. Its patrons are the founders and
builders of the nation; its chancellors,
past and present, are such masters as
Henry, Baird, Powell, Newcomb and
Langley, whose fame is broad as civiliza-
ton; its regency is the federal executive,
legislative and Indicative combined; It's
faculty includes nearly all American Gre
ators of knowledge; its fellows are a
thousand picked post-graduates and its
preparatory school com prises the organ
lied universities and colleges Of half a
hundred commemorative. It co-Ordi-
mates our educational institutions, from
university to public school: and, more
than all else. it establishes the true rai-
son d'etre of education BY determining,
through direct applicat ton to human well
fare, what knowledge is best. The final
step of organizing this great university {is
g duty Of the early future. RI rom ssOur

Leaving Manure in Heaps.

There may be slight saving of team
labor by dumping manure from a cart or
wagon, instead of spreading it as drawn,
but in the end it is loss every way,
says the American Cultiyator. When
the manure is to be unloaded from a
sleigh with short box it can be spread
nearly or quite as fast as it can be forked
over the side of the box. In spreading
manure from a wagon or sleigh it is al
ways best to have two on the box; one,
standing in front, drives the team. usual
ly about twice the length of the box
from which both are working. The man
at the hind end of the box throws out be-
hind so as to fill the space over which
the wagon stood. This is usually done
while the team is going forward. In this
way the whole surface is covered, and
much more completely and evenly than it
could be from the heaps. Wherever one
of these stands any time the manure is
sure to be more or les fermented and it's
soluble portions leached in to the soil by
melting snow or rain. It is possible where
manure heaps have been left on the field
much time to tell the places for two years
thereafter where they have lain by the
ranker growth of all crops there. This
will be the case even though all the par
ticles Of manure where the heap lay are
removed. Had the manure been evenly
spread in the first place, the whole sur
face would be enriched very nearly as
much as were the places which were COW
cred by manure heaps. ..:'z.-

Farm Animals Worth More,

1t is worth noting that farm animals
are increasing both in value and in num-
Der. For the five years prior to the first
of last year, farm animal returns showed
decreasing numbers and falling prices.
Last year the tide set the other way and
is increasing. A few facts may be of in
terest. In the item of horses, mules,
mich cows, cattle, sheep and hogs, the
increase over last year amounts in value
to $15O,O0O,0OO. The value of cattle in
creased 6.S per cent. over 1897, of sheep
2S.7 per cent. over 1897, and of hogs the
increase was 3.4 per cent. It is in cattle,
sheep and hogs that the improvement is
greatest. The total number of milch
cows is 1S, 485, 600 and their value $751;
$4,000, while the number of other cattle
is 32,30O,OOO and their value 5000, OIL
600. The sheep industry is reyiving con-
siderably. Farm prices for sheep have
advanced much more rapidly than market
prices, Indicating that the farmers who
sent their sheep to the slaughter houses
the last few years. are now buying sheep
with which to stock their farms: The to,
tai number of sheep is 32,5O1 600 and
their value $S1, 633, 600. That of hogs
5OOOO,OOO. valued at S212, O63, 600.
Swine raising is in a healthier condition,
with abundant corn supplies, rarity OF dis
ease and good prices and good consump
tive export demand. The food industries
of the country are enjoying a fair slice of
the general prosperity.-Pralrle Farmer.

Cows NJ the Manure Pile.

Late in winter cows often take a
strange liking for picking over piles of
horse manure, and eating bits Of hay and
even, of straw that they find there. In
most cases salt will stop this immature
craving, showing that this is what the
animals need. But often it is the phos-
phate Of lime which the cows find in the
straw stained by the urine Of horses that
is what is wanted. and it may also be the
potash. "a mixture of salt and phosphate
with some wood ashes will be eagerly
eaten BY cows in whom this habit is OBJ.
served. AS the time for parturition APP
sproaches. the growing foetus makes large
strengthen its bones The salt aud the
wood ashes probably aid digestion BY
preventing the fermentation of food in
the stomach, though If they are fed too
long, they will injure digestion by lessen
ing the Yigor OF the stonac Cd.
