New On FIELDS.-The reported
discovery of wonderful oil field in
the Caucasus has sent several of the
biggest French capitalists scurrying
toward Grogui to arrange for exploi-
tation. The supply far exceeds that
of Americas richest wells. At the
shallow depth of 400 to 5000 feet
tons of naptha are turned ont daily,
in quality to pure that it requires lit
tie refining. NJ. Eiifel, the designer
and owner of the famous tower, as
also principal owner of the new oil
field, declares that the product of the
latter will drive Americon petroleum
from all European markets.

Some Little-KnOwn Facts.

Only eighteen per cent. of all the
families in America employ domestic
help, leaving eighty two per cent.
without even one servant.
If all the dressmakers known TO
exist in America worked twenty four
hours of each day for a whole year,
without stopping for sleep or meals,
they would still be able to make only
one dress apiece for less than seven
eights of the women of America.
Not six per cent. of all the women
In America spend as much money as
fifty dollars per year on their clothes.
Out of twelve million American
families the income Of four million
of these families is less than 34OO
each per year, and the incomes Of
nearly eighty per cent. of the entire
number are less than $1,000 each per
year.
mere are scores OF places IN this
country where only one mail comes
every fourteen days.
Ask the average person where the
central point Of area is in the United
States and he will fix it somewhere i'm
Illinois. Tell him it is nearer san
Francisco and be will be incredulous
until he remem bers that Alaska is
within the boundaries of Uncle Sam.

GRABBED THE BABN.-Edward G..
Flanagan, the Oekalb county. Ga.
multimurderer. broke from his cell
IN the Jail. As he dashed through
the door and past the guard, who had
the murderer's breakfast in his hands.
he suatched up the two-year- old baby
of Sheriff Talley. Drawing "a long
knife from his sleeve and clasping
the child to his breast, the prisoner
fled down the Jail stairway through a
corridor leading to the Sheriif's resi-
dence, the only avenue of escape.
Sheriff Talley happened to be in the
room into which Flanagan dashed.
Mrs. Talley. the child's mother, was
also there. The father and mother
simultaneously sprang upon the pris-
Oner, Mrs. Talley welding broom
and the Sheriff clutching Flanagan
by the neck. The guard came up at
this instant, aud the three overpow-
cred Flanagan and tore the child from
his grasp and drove the prisoner back
to his cell.

Circumstantial Evidence

a good story is being told about
Juror who was drawn for service in
the criminal court recently on a muir
der case, says the Buffalo News. He
was one of those men who was will
ling to do his part as good citizen.
but he had prejudice against cir
cumstantial evidence which was so
strong be could not dispel it from
his mind, and it finally became nee
essary to excuse him.
He answered the questions put to
him by the prosecuting attorney to
qualify, but when the attorney for
defendant got down to where he ask
ed him if he would convict a person
on circumstantial evidence he hesi-
tated.
why do you hesitate :" asked the
Judge.
"Well, I'll be frank with you, ,,
replied the juror, Il don't believe in
it"
"it the evidence was so overwhelm-
ing that there could be no doubt of
the guilt of the prisoner, wouldn't
YOU vote to convict"
No"
why"
Judge, can whisper to you:"
YES"
There was three minute conver-
sation between the Judge and the
juror, at the conclusion of which the
Judge smiled, and then he said: ''Ju-
ror, YOU are excused"
The attorneys did not forget the
incident; and at the end Of the day' ;
session they asked the Judge what
the trouble was with Mr.. -. nam
ing the juror who was excused.
The Judge said the man told him
he was the owner of farm in Check
towaga and among his livestock was
handsome pet calf. One day while
he was out IN the barnyard chopping
at fence with an axe this calf made
break to get out of the yard. With
the axe still in his hand he ran after
the animal and caught him bv the
tail Just as he was dragging it
back from an opening in the fence
a member Of the family happened
along, and seeing him with the axe
in his hand, concluded be was suf-
fering with an attack of senile dem
entia and in his fury was trying to
hack the poor beast into veal outlets.
Judge, was perfectly rational.
and ! protested that | was attempt
ing anything Of the kind said the
juror, "but appearances were against
me, and to this day | am unable to
convince my family that | was not
trying to murder that calf. That's
the reason | am against circumstan-
tial evidence"

a Giant Poplar

The oldest and largest tree in Tai
bot county, Md. is dead, saws the
Baltimore sun. IL is "a mammoth
tulip poplar on a farm near Easton.
where it has been known for 200 hun
years. Poplar Hill Farm being part
Of the original Platter grant in colo
NAL times. 1t stands alone in an
open field, seen for miles on all roads
and from water courses; is $50 feet

which undoubtedly FASTENED its end.
Scientific men who have visited the
tree say it would take 1000 years for
this species of poplar to grow tosuch
a size IN this locality. 1t probably
saw the beginning of the tenth CEN
tury, and died just before the begin
ming of the twentieth.

NAMING TwINT-An exchange
tells a good story of father and mo-
ther who were trying to find names
for their twin babies, who. bv the
way. were girls. 1t was decided that
the father should name them. After
casting about and finding no name
that exactly suited him, he determin-
ed to end the strain of his mind and
call them kate" and "Duplicate. ="
In course of time another pair of
twins came, and they were boys. This
was the husbands opportunity to get
even and he wanted his good wife to
christen the boys. Imagine his feel
ings when the mother one day told
him she had named the boys "Pete'
and "Repete."

~ Word TO THE WISE, ETC. -
The young man had taken off his
coat and hung his hat carefully on
the hall rack. Coming into the par
lor he went to the fire and held ont
his hands to warm them. The girl
waited for him to speak, but it was
evident that he was bashful Young
man, and knew not how to begin the
conversation. Finally, he said:
1T was very, very cold last night.
| stayed at home and hugged the
stove all the evening"
The girl turned her great brown
eyes toward him and said, with Just
a tinge of art in her voice:
81 don't see any use in hugging a
stove"
1t didn require a house to fall on
the young man, even if he was bash
full, and he promptly resolved not to
hug any more stoves.
