Honor to the Palmetto.

BY vote of 80 to 81 the South Caro-
lima house of delegates has passed q
bill to prevent the use by the State dis
pensary Of the palmetto tree on bottles
and labels, except the stock on hand.
One OF the advocates Of the bill said he
did it cut of respect to the Confederate
and Mexican soldiers. Another dele
gate said he was moved to Indignation
when he saw a soldier lying in the gut
ter drunk. with bottle sticking out of
his pocket, upon which the palmetto
tree was the most prominent object to
be seen. For this reason, he said, the
palmetto tree should be debarred from
use OH the dispensary bottles, and the
vote showed that IL majority of the del
egates were Of the same opinion

Pocket Flash Lights.

The man who has trouble with his
key hole is indebted to the inventor
OF an electric pocket lamp, which was
patented early in January and is now
on the market. A wellknown retail
house on North Broadway, always on
the alert for novelties, has put in the
first supply in St. Louis.
a light, from 81 to 5! volts. can be
flashed at any object by gentle pres
sure on button. From 5000 to 5000
flashes, each fash lasting from one to
two seconds, are stored in the battery,
which can be replaced at the nominal
cost of from % to so cents.
The lamps are easily portable, being
OF tube shape, and very light. Garry
ing it by the ring, with which the
contact is produced, it looks like
pretty music roll, such as singers are
wont to use to roll their sheet music
in. The small sized lamp, which is
about 8 inches long and measures q
inches in diameter, easily slips into
man overcoat pocket. This lamp is
adapted for house use, and affords
quite brilliant illumination of dark
space. It's light is far stronger than
that of the ordinary burglars lamp,
and being suddenly flashed into the
face of an intruder, should have a
wholesome effect on him. For identi-
tication of all sorts Of marauders in the
hands of policeman this new contri-
vance will prove valuable. Manager
Sparks, who thought we'll enough of
the electric pocket lamp to add it to
his stock, flashed it into the face of a
policeman on the Levee few even
ings ago. The guardian of the peace
was the most startled man he ever saw,
and heartily in favor of it, when its
use and operation we're explained to
him. In the darkroom of the photog-
rapher the lamps will prove themselves
very valuable.
The largest sized lamps are l2 inch
es long and 4 inches in circumference,
and are especially made for finding
leaks in places where the handling of
match or ordinary lamp would lead
to explosions. Oil wells, gasoline
tanks and manholes come under that
head. Mine inspectors would find them
handy in their business.
The large lamp yields continuous
illumination of eight hours, the small
one proportionately less. While these
lamps are not intended for continued
lighting purposes, they can be used
in that way, where other means of H.
Elimination fail.
The inventor Of the pocket fash
lamp is real benefactor of mankind,
for he has only shown the beginning
of new use that may be made of the
storage battery in the service of the
individual st. Louis Republic.

The Largest Ranch.

The y. |. L. ranch, in the extreme
northwest corner Of the panhandle of
Texas, the largest ranch in the world,
has an area Of 5000 square miles. ac-
cording to the Ladies Home Journal
It's herds of cattle aggregate l2O, ,OO9
head, besides, 800 horses, and the
calf crop branded in 1897 exceeded
81 900. Surprising as it may seem,
all the work on the ranch is done by
10 men, one man to every 1900
acres
1t seems natural that the largest
ranch in the world should be found in
the largest State in the nion-Tcxas.
Indeed, this ranch is so extensive
that some States could not contain it.
Connecticut, for example, could not
hold it by several thousand acres. The
two States of Rhode Island and Della
ware combined could not contain this
immense ranch which consists of B.
GOO, 900 acres. or about 5000 suuare
miles.
About dozen years ago, when
Texas needed new State capitol, the
legislature adopted a novel plan to
get A promise was held forth that
vast tract of unappropriatcd land
would be given in exchange for suit
able granite building at Austin. Among
those tempted by this offer were ex-
Senator Charles B. Farwcll and his
brother John, who ultimately formed
a syndicate in Chicago and took upon
themselves the responsibility Of erect
ins The proposed capitol. Their part
OF the agreement appears to have been
carried out to the satisfaction of the
State, and in due time they came into
the possession of the immense domain
known as the Y. l. T. ranch. h.-.Sun
