For THE WEEK ENDING MONDAY,
: May 2, 1898.
The light and scattered showers in
the first half OF the week we're soon
dried up by the high winds, which are
said to have caused damage by drift
ing the soil, but a good soaking and
warm rain in nearly all parts Of the
state began on the 10Th or Both, thor
ouyhly settling the soil. The temper
allure has not varied much from the
normal, but some OF the nights have
been cold, with frosts, especially on
the morning OF the 10Th, but no dam
age resulted. Wheat and oat seeding
is about finished in the north, and
wheat is coming up nicely as far north
as Kittson county. 1t is growing
timely in more southern portions, but
that sown with drills makes a better
showing this dry season, dis it is more
regular than the broadcasted, part Of
which has been uncovered by the
winds. Barley and flax are being
seeded as the lana is prepared Corn
land in the south is we'll under prep
arAtiOn, and d few warm days will
make planting general. An absence
of Warm weather has kept the fruit
buds we'll in check. Fruits generally
have wintered we'll and promise a
good crop, but the snowless winter is
said to have injured raspberries.
EARLY Strawberries are beginning to
bloom in the South. EARLY potatoes
are being planted, and gardening is
we'll advanced, the market gardeners
having peas and radishes growing
we'll, and early corn planted. Winter
wheat is stooling.

A Great Naval Duel.

HencefOrward-to use Nelson words
about his own most desperate acCtiOn-
"there was no maneuvering, there was
only downright fighting" and great as
was Jones unqueStiOnable merit as a
handler Of ships it was downright fight
ing endurance of the most extreme and
individual character that won this bat
tie. When thus in contact, the superior
ity of the British eighteens over the
American twelves, though less than at
a distance, was still great, but far
heavier disparity lay in the fabrics of
the two enemies. The Richard was a
very old ship, rotten, never meant for
naval use. The Scraps was new, on
her first commission. The fight hitherto
having engaged the port guns of the
latter, the starboard lower gunports
were still closed, and from the ships
touching could not be opened They
were therefore blown of, and the fight
went on.
GA novelty in naval combats was
now presented to many witnesses, but
to few admirers, quantity wrote Lieu
tenant Dale, who was in the midst of
the scene below decks. 1.-The hammers
were run into the respective ships to
enable the men to load"-that is, the
slaves of the rammers of one ship en-
tered the ports of the other as the guns
were being loaded. 1--WE became so

The GlOved Pasha.

Mustapha Pasha Fehmi, prime minis
ter of Egypt, decorated by Queen Vic
toria with the grand cross of the Order
of st. Michael and st. George, is known
throughout Egypt as the gloved pasha,
owing to the fact that no one has ever
seen his left hand barred since the day
two and twenty years ago when, as one
of the chamberlains of the late Khedive
Ismail, he helped his colleague, Sahmi
Pasha, to strangle the Egyptian minis
ter of finance at the close of a supper
party given by the wicked old khedive
on board his steam yacht, lying at anchor
in the Nile at Cairo, just off the palace
of Gezereh.

Spanish Cruelty.

The cruelty of the Spaniard, or rather
his callousness, his recklessness of the
lives of others, and even of his own, is
a medieval and oriental survival, says
Irving Babbitt in The Atlantic, and
then, too, there underlies the Spanish
temperament know not what vein of
primitive lberian savagery. Nine.
d'Aulnoy relates that on a certain day
of the year it was customary for court
gallants to run along one of the main
streets of Madrid, lashing furiously
their bare shoulders, and when one of
these penitents passed the lady of his
choice among the spectators be bespat-
tered her with his blood as a special
mark of his favor.
Insensibility TO the suffering Of ami
mails, though general In Spain, is not
any greater so far as my own observa-
tiOn goes, than in the other Latin coun-
tries. Possibly medieval religion in so
exalting man above other creatures, in
refusing to recognize his relation to the
rest Of nature, tended to increase this
lack of sympathy with brute creation.
The Spanish peasant belabors his ass for
the same reasons that Malebranche kick
ed his dOg-because he has not learned
to see in it being organized TO feel
pain IN the same way as himself.

FEAR OF RAIN IN CUBA.
The Evil Effect of Water Is Not . Mere
Superstition There.

The Evil Effect of Water Is Not q Mere
Superstition There.
The average Cuban is dreadfully
afraid of rainwater. He believes tnat
drenching in rainstorm, followed by
exposure to the rays of the sun, pro-
duces fever-not necessarily yellow fe-
yer, but an attack something similar TO
what is known as swamp fever in Mis-
sissippi br chagres in the isthmus of
Panama.
The same belief prevails in Central
and South America, but in a greater
degree. On both coast lines Of Nicaragua
light shower is the signal for gen.
eral scampering indoors and a disin-
clinatiOn to come out again until the
sky is perfectly clear. Up on the high
plateau on which the city of Caracas in
Venezuela is situated and where there
should be little or no fear Of fever the
natives are afraid to get even their
faces wet. At the first appearance of a
rainstOrm the cab drivers, Of whom
there are more than 400, put up oilCloth
screens in front of them and direct the
course of the horses through a couple Of
peephOles, avoiding even a slight splash
in the face.
All strangers from northern latitudes
visiting Caracas are advised that not
only is rain dangerous, but that it is
not safe to take bath within ten
days after their arrival. Men accustom-
ed to a daily plunge find this advice
difficult to follow, especially in such a
warm climate. Most of them disregard
it and find that it does them no harm,
and that it is a superstition based upon
the laziness that follows a residence in
an atmosphere so enervating that the
dogs are too tired to get out of the way
of the horse if the horse wasn't too
tired to step on them.
The Cuban fear of rain, however, is
based upon experience and is not a mere
superstition York Press.

Slow Eating May Be Bad.

According to The Journal Of Mental
and Nervous Diseases, slow eating is
as bad as fast eating. 1.-THE important
point is not that we eat slowly or fast,
but that when we do eat we chew with
energy. OF course where the haste is
due to some mental anxiety this may
injuriously inhibit the secretions. Slow
eating begets habit of simply num-
bling the food without really masticat-
ing it, while the hurried eater is in
clined to swallow his food before proper
mastication. Hence hurried eating is
bad, but rapid mastication is advan-
tageOus. 1t concentrates our energies
on the act in question, and hence more
thoroughly accomplishes it. Moreover,
energetic chewing stimulates the secre-
tiOn of saliva in the most favorable
manner. These various points are so
commonly misunderstood, at least by
the laity, that they demand our fire.

The Eirecracker.

The fiIecracker so extensively used by
Americans in celebrating Independence
day is a Chinese invention and is sup
posed to have been used in China in
prehistoric times as universally as it is
now used in the Flowery Kingdom upon
nearly all ceremonious occasions. Its
original use is supposed to have been
to frighten away evil spirits, and in
some parts of the Celestial empire it is
still regarded as an effective weapon
against ghosts and hobgoblins.

Ar Aneedote of the Revolution.

Senator Bate Of Tennessee told the
following anecdote of Colonel Tom
Sumter: Sumter was a great big giant
of a fellow, with a voice like fog
horn. 1t is said his "holler" could be
heard for miles. On one occasion when
he was off ON foray the Tories came
and captured his wife, Molly, and
stripped the plantation of everything.
When "Old Tom" came home and found
Molly gone, his rage knew no bounds.
Gathering together such forces as he
could he put after the Tories. He over
took them on the third day and hung
about until midnight. Then he deploy-
ed his forces around the camp and told
them to await his orders TO fire. He was
afraid of Molly being shot in the melee.
So when he got everything ready be
opened his big mouth and let out yell
that fairly made the earth tremble:
"Lay down, Mollyi Lay down, Molly"
and Molly. recognizing those stentorian
tones, fell prone ON her face. and after
the last "Lay down, Mollyl" came the
command fire and charge. Molly Was
rscaptured without hurt

GOLOENROD.

I know a field, sunny field.
But not in sunny France,
And there is neither CLINT OF shield
Nor gleam of pennoned lance,
Nor does the wind toss knightly plumeA
Nor silken tents unfold,
And yet in autumn il becomes
The field Of the cloth Of gold
For when the haze Of summer days
Has melted from the skies
And we, without reproof, may gaze
Up into heavens eyes,
A host their plumes and banners shake
In ioust with breezes bold,
And goldenrod's bright champions make
The field OF the cloth of gold.
The butterflies with blazoned wings
Are heralds for the fight,
And many lovely lady filings
Her token to her knight.
And so amid their gorgeous suite
With pomp and wealth untold.
Summer and autumn royalty meet
On theafeld Of the cloth Of gold.
