KITCHENER AS A SPY.
Incident of soudan Campaign Illus.
trating the Sirdar's Versatility.

London Academy: The following
story of the sirdar which comes to us
bearing the authority of Il relative of
Lord Kitchener, illustrates more han
any, perhaps, his readiness of resource,
his determination and his painstalling,
far-seeing preparedness for events.
One evening as our forces ncarcd
khartoum dervish spy was discovercd
in camp, and promptly taken to head
quarters for examination. 1t was a
tjuncture at which information as to
the enemy's position and plans was of
the highest Importance, but neither
The richest brides nor the direst
threats could elicit one word from the
prisoner; he affected to be both deaf
and dumb. Scarcely was his hearing
over--if hearing it can be called when
another spy was led in, who proved
equally obdurato. 1t was maddening;
and i'm 1.-THE good old times" torture
and short shrift would have been the
fate of these brave gentlemen. AS it
was, they were led away bound, and
placed for the night in we'll guarded
tent About half an hour later, when
all WAS settling down to rest in camp.
there was a fresh stir and hubbub,
and third spy was dragged in who,
also. would reveal nothing. and was
finally placed in the tent with his fell
.ows. Soon the guards outside heard
murmur of voices from within: the
dumb spies had found their tongues;
but it was impossible TO overhear their
talk distinctly or to understand it. An
Hour on more passed. Then the door
Of the tent was thrown open, and the
third spy appeared and asked to be
conducted to headquarters. 1T was the
sir,lal.. who, in Disguise, had discov
arcd all he needed 10 know. II seems
that Lord Kitchener always takes the
greatest pains to make himself master
of the vernacular OF amy country to
which he is sent. He seizes every OPP
portunity of talking with the poorer
folks. until he literally speaks like Il

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Mule breeding has been profitable
and will be again.
Wheat is good for hogs. 1t should be
soaked or coarsely ground.
The horse has the same diseases and
symptoms that human being has.
If the head is immersed it turns the
color of the comb and gives the eyes
shrunken appearance.
Thin is good time to clear the farm
of rubbish. Clean out the fence cor
ners and burn all the trash.
According to an experience in the
Russian cavalry, aluminium horseshoes
last longer than steel. Certainly they
are lighter.
Teach the colt to eat grain before
taking it from the dam. 1t will then
be ready to go right along in growing
when it is weaned.
1t is best to train colt to go without
binders. 1t is not best to take off the
binders from horse that has always
been used to them.

Sum Eclipscd at Midnight.

London Times: The ordinary almanac
gave for December Is partial eclipse Of
the sun, invisible at Greenwich. And in
deed the expression as to Its invisibility
might have been put much stronger, for
it was to be seen in no inhabited region
of the earth. An Antartic expedition
might possibly have sailed within its
sphere of influence, but as 1t was 1t
passed unmatched by human eyes. This
being so, and the eclipse one that was
necessarily wholly unseen, 1t would seem
as If nothing more could be said about
it, and as II it might be passed without
comment. But, unseen as 1t was. the
eclipse was by no means devoid of inter-
est. First of ALL it offers us an example
of what seems a paradox-an eclipse of
the sun taking place at local midnight. II
is, moreover, the first of three eclipses
falling within period no longer than a
single calendar month. December q will
bring "a total eclipse of the moon at Green
wich--January II a partial eclipse of the
sun And the three are very intimately
connected with each other. The latter in
nearly all its characteristics stands in

POTATO STALK wEEvn.
More Destructive Than Anyof
It's Predecessors.

A new insect that has been numerous
the past year in Kansas, and is at pres
ent the most common, is the potato
stalk weevil, and is said to be the most
destructive that the grower has to con-
tend with. Little Is known Of this new
pest, as few understand the insect or
Its work. The potato-stalk weevil does
not confine its attacks to the potato
plant, but is to be found in weeds of
different denominations. AS many as
eight adults have been taken from the
stalk OF the ground cherry. The horse
nettle, cookie bur, stick weed and bull
nettle are other weeds which are af-
fected by the insects. Wherever these
plants are permitted to grow wild they
are constant menace to potato grow
ing, in that they support in large num-
bers the insect to infect potato fields
in the spring. The effect of the pest
upon these weeds is not so noticeable
as upon the potato, as their vitality is
so slightly affected. 1t is shown clear
~ in the potato by the whiting and
dying of the plant, especially in dry
seasons. The adult is small snout
beetle, and belongs to the same family
Of insects as the plum curculio, and
has the peculiar beak that characterizes
this family of insects. 1t is of an ashy
gray color, about one-fifth of an inch
long, and marked by three black spots
at the base of it's wing covers. Spray
ing has been successfully tried upon
this pest by the Kansas state agricul-
tural college, and we advise spraying
the vines either with London purple
or Paris green, taking care that the
stocks and branches are reached by
the poison. AS precautionary meas
ure, rid the place of weeds.-Western
Plowman.

bounced Il valedictory and described
the emotions Ell n statesman about to
tetire from public life. In the confu-
zion of the closing session and the rush
of events this speech was overlooked,
but it contained some statements of
AN extraordinary character. Perhaps
'hc most important was the opinion he
expressed of the ability of the senate
collectively, which is not entirely COM
pllmentary. They tell story of the
ate Senator McDougall, of California,
who remarked that he spent the first
year of his term wondering how lYr get
there and the remaining five years
wondering how the other fellows got
there. The late Senator Hearst pro-
