Tropical Disease. In French Army

Tropical Diseases In French Army.
Nature states that in the French ex-
petition to Madagascar in 1896 only
seven men were killed by the Hovas
and "a wounded, while the deaths due
to micro-organisms numbered 5000,
and the sick list from the same cause
$4,000. From these facts it infers that
to acclimate Europeans all that is nee
essary is to exterminate these micro
organisms, which are the cause OF So
called optical disease, and that when
they are subjugated the inhabitants Of
the temperate zone can live in the trop-
les like natives. #

THE LARGEST ORCHARD IN THE WORLD.

A letter from Chanute, Kan, says {:
"The largest orchard in the world is in
Kansas, and belongs to Fred Well
house, who came from Indianapolis,
and was once the editor of the In
dianapolis Farmer. He was the first
man who had the courage to engage in
fruit-raising to any extent, and has
been well rewarded for his faith and
enterprise. He is the apple king of
the world, has made handsome for:
tune, has retired from active business,
leaving his orchard in charge of his
sons, and lives in handsome residence
at Topeka. Mr.. Wellhouse devotes
his energies and abilities these days to
the encouragement of fruit culture, as
president Of the State Horticultural
society. He planted his first orchard
in 1876, and now has 1,945 acres in
apples alone. His largest single orch
ard consists of 500 acres at Wakarusa,
Usage county, and his smallest is a
patch of III acres at the village of
Glehwood, near Leavenworth. He
has apple farms in four other counties,
including altogether about 100000
trees. Mr.. Wellhouse considers the
Ben Davis apple the best staple, and
has 620 acres, or more than one-third
of his orchards, planted to that varie-
ty. Four hundred and nine acres are
planted to the Missouri pippin, 100
acres to the Jonathan, 160 acres to the
Gano, $50 to the York Imperial, and
IA acres to the Winesap. He treats
his apples as if they were jewels. His
trees are tended with the greatest
care. He employs experienced and
careful men. His fruit is picked by
hand as fast as it ripens. The perfect
apples are wrapped in tissue paper

mines to Kings Mountain and will go
into the lumber business. He contem-
plates spending the summer at his old
home-in England across the water.
........'Little Laura, infant daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. c. Stroup, died Thurs
day May 1S, at the age of one year
and eleven days. The little one was
taken sick on her first birthday ami
versary and fingered eleven days. $500
Little Eunice, infant daughter and
only child of Mr.. and Mrs. Stamey
Smith, died last Saturday, just before
noon, after brief illness, aged five
months. ......""About 9 o'clock Friday
morning, Chief Alexander was called
to the phone by Kings Mountain and
asked to keep look out for two runa-
way darkies. One had stolen bicy-
Gle. He walked up to the depot and
saw a man answering the description
pretty we'll but he held his hands in
bis pockets. "Take your hands out OF
your pockets, and let me see them, "
asked Mr.. Alexander. The absence of
two fingers showed the policeman that
this was the man be wanted. Both
fellows were soon in the clutches Of the
law. One of them had watch and
SIS. "Where's the bicycle ?'' ats at de
shop" To "the shop" Mr.. Alexander
went and found the bicycle. The Ne
gro had sold it for the watch and S5.
..........The removal of Mr.. Edgar
Loves business interests to Lincoluton
gave Messrs. Gray and Love an oppor'
tunity which they availed themselves
of to buy the grocery store next door.
Changing and overhauling has been
going on with a rush for week. In
the rear, a large section of the dividing
wall was cut out between the stores.
An arch was built in and an Office for
both stores will be arranged under the
arch. Upstairs another door is made
through the wall, opening up over the
grocery store a large carpet depart
ment. The grocery store is white
washed and painted anew and some
what rearranged. A cash register sys-
tenn will be used, and acetylene lights
put in. Several changes have been
made in the clerical force. Mr.. T. l..
Clinton retires and Mr.. Star Wood be-
comes book-keeper for both stores.
Mr.. J: A. Page is transferred to the
Banking company, and Mr.. Grafton
Sewer is wrapping clerk in charge OF
the railway cash system in the dry
goods store. Mr.. J. F. Thomas is
manager of both stores. The new
management is certainly turning things
around. They will give special atten'
ton to their retail trade ; but will not
handle fresh meats, preferring to leave
that to the regular meat markets.

raE 1t is rare, indeed, said Eli Per
kins at dinner recently, that we car
tell a good story on the chief justice
of the United States, says the Ne"
York Advertiser.
Twenty years ago Chief Justice Ful
Ter was practising before Judge NC
Arthur in Chicago. In his speech De-
fore the judge he pleaded his clients
ignorance of the law in extenuation o
an offense he had committed. The
judge said: every man is presumed
to know the law, Mr.. Fuller"
81 am aware of that, your honor
responded Mr.. Fuller. every shoe
maker, tailor, mechanic and illiterate
laborer is presumed to know the law
Yes, every man is presumed to kno"
it, except the judges of the supreme
court, and We have a court of appeals
to correct their mistakes"

and packed in boxes, which are sent
TO cold store houses and kept in an
even temperature of about 40 degrees
until the market is favorable. Then
they are shipped to Chicago, New
York, St. Louis, Denver, San Francis
CO and the City of Mexico, and a con-
siderable quantity goes to European
markets. Queen Victoria and EN-
peror William eat apples from the
Weilhouse orchards. There is always
demand for them, both at home and
abroad, and some years the crop has
brought as much as S95, 900, more than
half of which was profit.

who used to teach the grandfathers OF

A HARD PROvIsIoN.-One OF the
Boston theater managers was down on
the seashore last summer, and while
wandering about the hotel piazza ran
across friend who touched him for a
pass. The manager searched in his
inside pocket, and then shook his head;
"I'd give you one willingly, but l
didn't bring my cards. l don't see
how can do it without the pass"
The deadhead looked blank. Sud-
denly the manager spoke:
"I'll tell you what can do. Instead
of using card, I'll just write Pass
bearer on your shirt front, and that
will get you in all right. Will that doT'
The man assented, and the pass was
written. That evening the deadbeat
showed up at the theater, and the man
at the gate nodded when he looked at
the shining bosom.
Gall right; that's good"
The deadhead passed through the
gate and started into the theatre. He
had only taken few steps when the
gatekeeper called him back. The man
looked surprised. :.
"What's the matter now? Isn't 1t
all right ?" w L..
The gatekeeper nodded. eyes; but
YOU must surrender the pass"
