IN LEAGUE WITH MAGIC.
Some Heathens Who Did Good Missionar,
Work at Pump.

Lobengula, the late king of the Malta
belle of South Africa, was afraid of Rev
b. Carnegie, an English missionary at
Hope Fountain, several miles from Bu-
lawayo. The Matabele warriors, on the
other hand, looked with suspicion On
the missionary and all his works, but
they knew better than to modest the
friend Of their king.
Time after time in passing the mis-
sion house they noticed a force pump at
work, supplying water for the family
and for irrigating the garden. Not UNI
derstanding what it was for, their un.
tutored minds concluded it was some
sort of magic. 1t was "intagati, " or
bewitched, and they watched to see
how it was managed that they might
turn the white mans magic against
himself.
One moonlight night party of picked
warriors repaired to the bank of the
stream where the pump was. On try
ing it they We're jubilant to find that
two men at either handle could do the
trick. Turn and turn about they kept
the pump going for two hours, deter
mined that the missionary should have
all the magic he wanted and balance
in hand.
Then, exhausted, they went home
ward, ignorant of the fact that they
had filled the missionary s tank to over
flowing. His good wife hoped that a
similar supply of magic" might be
furnished every week. - New York

SOY BEANS.

peanut alone exceeds it in the amount
and digestibility of it's food constitu-
ents The soy bean requires about the
same class of soils as Indian corn and
will grow about as far north as that
crop can be depended on. The best re-
suits with it have been obtained in the
region between the thirty seventh and
forty fourth parallel east of the Rocky
mountains. The region best adapted to
it, then, is the "corn belt, /" circum-
stance which argues we'll for it's future
use and value in conjunction with corn
for fattening animals.
The soy bean should be planted in
late spring or early summer after the
ground has become warm. In general
the early varieties should be used if
seed crop is desired and the medium or
late varieties if it is to be used as for
age, it having been found that the lat
ter much excel the former in value for
that purpose. In some parts of Virginia
in alternate hills or between the rows at
the time Of the final cultivation. Usual.
~, however, it is grown as a main crop,
either broadcast for forage or in drills
when cultivated for seed. The amount
Of seed required when it is sown in
drills is less than when planted broad
cast, varying from two to three pecks
per acre and in the latter case three to
four pecks. The rate of growthsis quite
rapid, and unless the field is very weedy
the crop does not require much cultiva-
ton.
The crop should be cut for hay from
the time of Towering until the pods are
half formed. Later than that the stems
are coarse and woody and the feeding
value rapidly declines.
The crop may be converted into good
silage and for this purpose should not
be cut until the seed isnearly ripe. The
chief value of silage is that it provides
a succulept food during the winter time
when green forage is not available, but
as certain changes take place in the
silo which render large part of the
protein indigestible, it is better to de-
pend upon corn than to useAany legu-
minous crop for this purpose.
The ripe soy beans are among the
richest of concentrated foods The yield
varies, according to soil and season,
from to ID tons Of green forage. The

THE BREATH OF ARBUTUs.

What Is 1t in the summer air tonight
That brings me dreams of dear days long ago
And memories OF hearts that have for years
Been colder than the Alps eternal snow2
The dewy violet of heavily blue,
The faint breath of arbutus on the air,
Bring sadly back those dear dead days
And one who told me was fair.
We stood amid the flowers dewy sweet,
My hero in his coat of loyal blue
He kissed my tears away and said "Farewell!
My country needs me, dear, moro than do
you"
There came day. The sun refused to shine.
High heaven tried to wash away the stain
Night spread her mantle gently DER the field
The south wind moaned q requiem for the
slain.
Back in a corner OF the garrett dark
There stands an oaken chest, and buried deep
Within 1T lies package worn and old
But when It's ashes still my heart will keep
In sacred memory the love that gave
To me the sweet arbutus, faded, dead,
But gave to God and country all he had
And in the southland found q narrow bed
Ills this the south wind watts to me tonight
Fond mem'ry ia the harp DER which she
plays
The gentle breath of sweet arbutus flowers
And tender thoughts of unforgotten days

ToILERs OF THE AIR.

How the Work on a Suspension Bridge Is
Done.
The workmen on the cables follow
closely after the builders of the iron
roadway. These men are engaged in
more perilous employment, if anything,
than the former. They climb nimbly
up to the very summit of the huge tow
ers, and then without dinohing proceed
to descend the inclined cables. It makes
the spectators below tremble for them,
so dangerous is the descent, but the
workmen have no fear, else they would
be untitled for the duty required of
them. After sliding down the cable
dozen feet, they stop and turn around
and face the towers. The men working
the derrick slowly swing out to them
the end of o cable about three inches in
diameter. Another man carries out to
them by means Of small hand pulley
and rope redhot band of steel, which
the cable workers seize with their
pinchers and clasp around the large cable
on which they are resting. Then while
the steel is still hot and malleable, the
small cable, with its end secured in
thick bolt Of steel, is brought into posi-
ton, and the end welded into the red
hot steel band encircling the main ca
BILE. The workmen pound and forge
away, hammering, twisting and bend
ing the metal before it cools off. The
welding must be done rapidly, and the
workmen have no time to stop and think
Of the dangerous position in which they
are placed. Probably the only support
they have comes from their legs, which
they wind tightly around the cable, as
they swing their arms and upper part
Of the body with violent exertion.
When this cable is forged into its
place, the wQrkmen take few moments
Of rest, and then slide down to the next
joint, where the same operation is re-
peated. Gable after cablesh attached in
this way until there is regular tangle
of steel work and dangling cables look
ing forall the world like a spider web.
But there IS order i'll this colossal spider
web such as never existed in the home
OF the insect that weayes the webs in
our homes and woods. Gradually one
part of the bridge after another is fin
ished, and when the ''false work. of
scaffolds is removed the structure stands
out in all the beauty of it's finished state.
The bridge builders must not only be
skilled in their work, but they must
have the hardihood and daring of the
sailor, for most of their work is per
formed at an altitude higher than the
topmast of any sailing vessel. They la
Dor in all kinds of weather-when the
sun is pouring down its torrid rays in
midsummer or when the mercury regis
tiers zero i'll winter.
To them their dizzy height is no more
than the 15 or 20 feet are to the ordi-
nary carpenter or house painter. They
seldom use ladders. They would be con-
stantly i'll the way. If they want to
reach higher framework, they climb
nimbly up the steel works or jump
lightly across from one truss to another.
A jump of three feet from girler to
girder is a commonplace occurrence to
them. George E. Walsh in Godey's

WINNIE DAVIS.

At Richmond, Va, on September 23rd
was buried, with pathetic services,
Miss Winnie Davis, the daughter of
jefferson Davis, and known since the
war as THE Daughter of the Confede-
racy." Upon no woman in the Southern
States, were the thoughts and good
wishes of the people so steadily fixed
as upon her. She became an outlet for
the feelings and sympathes of many
thousands who lost so much, and
suffered so intensely in the Lost
Cause"
A singular and almost romantic in
cident in her life, was her marriage
engagement about seven years ago to
Mr.. May, young lawyer, and son
of the noted abolition preacher Saml
j. May Of Syracuse. The hatred~of the
people of the South, and of majority
of the people of the North was concen-
trated until the Civil War upon Gar
rison, Phillips, May and other aboli-
wealth, who aided and supported them.
With the close Of the Civil War, came
the abolition of slavery. The elder
generation of the Southern people nat
urally retained their hatred of the
fire brands" The younger generation
did not manifest the same intensity of
hatred.
When it was announced that The
Daughter of the Confederacy" was en-
gagged to be married to the son of one
of these wicked Abolitionists, there
was much resentment expressed at first
in the Southern press. But the people
loved the girl, and felt that her choice
should not be criticised.
The engagement was finally broken
OF by mutual agreement, and in break
ing 1t both parties suffered severely,
bur recognized the wisdom of it. The
reasons are known only by a few.

Chamber of Commerce to the organic

lowing words;

as Governor for the Territory OF Ha-
wall who has been an official of the
Islands"
This request, like that OF the Com
mttee of the American Union Party,
will probably be treated with contempt
| by the President, who will have the
| appointing power He will treat it
with contempt, because it is so utterly
un-American in its spirit. 1t suggests
either that the memorialists here have
| forgotten the American habits of po-
| litical thought, or have such rancor-
Gus hatred of their fellow citizens, and
mistrust of each Others capacity and
sense OF justice, that they are willing
to proclaim the unfitness of the mem
bers OF the present Government TO con-
tinue or hold Office.
There are a score OF men here who
are capable OF filling the office Of Gov
ernor most acceptably. When the time
comes for making a selection or nom

readily be made. That event may not
happen for many months.

tive. Persistent efforts have been MADE
to show the marvellous excellence Of
the adml nistration Of the laws Doc
uments have been freely circulated
over the Mainland, detailing the I'M
usual fitness of the members OF the
Cabinet to lead the march OF Ameri-
can civilization" on these Islands.
We know that some OF these sup
porters Of the Government made these
statements only in the interests Of an
nexation. Just as the old farmer, when
he is trying to sell sick COW, Is reck-
less in his description OF the virtues Of
the animal. But these many words OF
lofty commentator are on record. in
the press, and emphatically so in the
platforms Of the annexation parties.
The political power has now passed
to Washington. The men who hold the
power have been educated to have an
abiding faith in the capacity and in
tegrity OF the members OF the Govern
ment. There are scores of prominent
men in Congress who will be surprised
10 hear that the men who were select
ed as leaders OF the annexation move
ment, are really not approved OF by the
men who supported them.
Instead of creating a prejudice in
Washington against the members of
the Government, the requests of the
memorialists will raise strong sus-
plclon there, especially in the mind Of
the President, that pipe laying has
begun, and that the memorialists have
an axe to grind. but dare not say SO.
On the whole, the action OF these rep
resrntative bodies in making their
strange requests will do much good.
They tell the story plainly of the jeal-
ousies and intrigues of men Who hope
to be political leaders. The dangerous
men in politics are those who play the
game without showing their hands. In
this case, the hands" have been
shown with childlike simplicity. For
this we should be thankful. The Ad-
vertiser will never quarrel with the sit
uation under such circumstances.

THE POWER OF THE COUNCIL
OF STATE.

The power 10 appropriate public
moneys by the Council of State, dur
ing the time intervening between the
sessions of the Legislature is confined
10 the emergencies of war, invasion,
rebellion, pestilence or other great pub
lie necessity" This Is the language
OF the Constitution. The Supreme
Court has just decided, as 1t could not
otherwise do, that the Council OF State
must decide for itself, when the occa-
sion arose for such an appropriation.
The Council Of State, therefore, has
virtual control over the public expendi-
lures. The Federal Government has
no such power. Not has any State.
But the trainers Of the Constitution
adopted this provision for wise rea-
sons. The power OF the Council was

Japanese Indemnity, the power was
used to good advantage.
1t is an elastic power in the hands
OF the dominant party to make appro-
priations, without legislative act. and
1t is only checked by public opinion,
which changes Its moods from time to
time. Emergencies" and public ne
cessity" are just what excited men
choose to make them. No courts can
define them. Questions regarding the
use of this power generally arise when
men are excited, and are determined
by prevailing sentiment, and not by
any well considered convictions. For
this reason the people are reluctant to
confer such power over the public
purse. Probably Congress will not re-
tain this provision in any laws passed
for the Government Of this territory.
