A hitherto unpublished story OF
stenewan jackson Is told by former
Gov. Thomas G. Jones. Gov. Jones
was a student at the Virginia Military
Institute when Jackson was president
there at the outbreak Of the war be-
tween the States. Jackson was q rath-
ar stern disciplinarian. Jones had been
at the institute for two or three years
and had come to be a sergeant Of the
cadets. He had one day to drill an
awkward squad and he lost his temper
IN his work, whereupOn he made the
boys "double-Quick" around a tree. He
had them "going 1t hard when sud-
denly he heard from behind him the
short, sharp command "Double-Quick
therew "Double-quick." repeated the
vrathful future Governor Of Alabama.
mo! you. sir! Halt"
Jones looked behind him and there
stood "Old jack" as Jackson was call
ed by the boys.
You. sir! You double-quick your
,elfw
Jones looked at his superior officer in
lmazement.
"Double-Quick!' was the stern com.
mand, and instantly Sergt. Jones vas
.rotting around the tree at a great rate,
hot, thoroughly indignant and furious.
Iy angry. His awkward squad looked
IN.
Within an hour Jones had sent In his
resignation. In answer he received an
invitation to sup at Jackson's house
He declined. Then came an order fol-
him to report to jackson Instantly
That order was obeyed. After some
talk Jones said: But you, sir. humil
lated me before my men"
"You lost your temper" said Jack
son, calmly, "and, besides, you forget
that you are not an officer at all?' Tha'
ended the trouble and now nobody
more reverences the memory Of "Old
lack" than Gov. Jones.-Birminghan n

Some Tricks that Typify the Pres

I strayed into Q small theater In 70
kohama last year following throng OF
rather common japanese. who seemed
deeply interested and anxious to crowd
In. drawn by the fierce ringing OF an
ordinary boarding house dinner bell In
the hands Of piratical-looking chap In
front, who harangued the passing pub

seemed to catch the attention OF at
least half the people who heard him.
and they were drawn into the building
rs the children followed the Pied Piper
Of Hamelin, without seeming to have
voice in their own movements.
Going along with the stream found
myself in a square room, on one side OF
which was a rough stage. 1 learned
afterward that I had entered In the
middle Of the performance, and. there
fore. saw only the latter half: but 1t
was this second half that seemed to me
almost allegorical in its application to
the Japan Of to-day.
All eyes were fixed upon a cellular
subdivision of the stage, at the farther
end Of which, under a soft, pleasing
light, stood a skeleton Of a woman. The
bones were perfectly articulated: they
were not white. rs they usually are In
this country. but seemed like half-pol-
lshed s;eeL l was wondering what
there was In the skeleton to attract
such rapt attention from the crowd.
and my eyes wandered over the faces
Of the audience When again glanced
at the skeleton a change seemed to
have come over II. The bones were
less steely and less sharply defined.
Thenceforth did not look away from
the fascinating optical delusion that
was taking place before me.
More and more distinct grew the out
lines Of the skull, and less and less
forbidding grew the color Of the other
bones. Then, a. they seemed half
fading into gloom. became aware that
around all the bones was gathering a
cloud, - though q fog was clinging to
them. This nimbus became more and
more noticeable, until I saw that 1t was
taking the general human form. Still
faded the bony framework until the
shape Of q real hesh-and-blood woman
could be distinguished In a graceful
pose. Gradually, as the head. body
and limbs became more clearly defined,
another dim gathering outside the fig-
ure appeared, and the kimono and 9th
er external raiment Of the JAPANESE
belle declared themselves. At Inst a
wax-like statue stood before US. Then
1t began to take color In the hair. eyes,
cheeks, lips and dress, until without
warning the figure thus evolved from
the staring and grinning skeleton-a

A Nice Thing of Napoleon.

On the day of Waterloo it was late
before Napoleon left his quarters
About noon he came down from his
quarters to take horse. The equerry
having gone off to snatch hasty meal
the duty of helping the emperor on
horseback fell to a youth named. Gu
din. The lad had had no experience
in this line, and gave, the little Cor
sican such a vigorous hoist that he
nearly rolled off on the other side. Ma
poleon called him a little fool and rode
away in a fury, Gudin. very clown in
the mouth following him some way
behind. By-and- bye the youth saw the
staff officers open, to right and left, and
Napoleon came riding back. Laying
his hand kindly on the boys shoulder
he said, MY child, when you help a
man of my size to mount, do so gently
Fifty-seven years afterwards, as Gudin
now grown gray general, related the
incident, his eyes filled with tears al
the memory Of Napoleon's thinking at
such moment OF the wounded feelings
of the young man. 81. 4 II

World for a Year.
While the world-thanks to- the
fields of North America has probably
grown in 1889 the greatest crop Of,
wheat ever harvested as one result of
the depletion of American herds and
the devotion of an otherwise impossi-
BILE ten million acres to wheat pro-
duction, says Self-Culture, yet We must
not lose sight of the fact that, while
the years harvest probably exceeds the
great world crop of 1894 by some To-
100000 bushels, requirements have in
creased by more than 00,O000,000 bush
els, and that the product of the har-
vest Of 1899 was drawn Upon a month
earlier than usual, in order to exc ous
defective supplies from the harvest Of
1897-S-that is, while the world harvest
of 1889 appears to be some 50,00O,G00
bushels greater than the greatest pre-
ceding one, yet it is defective by rea-
son of great increase in require
ments since 1894, as well as by the
fact that it must meet the needs OF
thirteen instead of twelve months.
Basing an estimate of requirements for
the 1889 harvest upon the known in
crease of population and the consump-
ton of recent years, as indicated by
estimates, mostly official, of production
in such years, the 'bread-eating'' pop,
ulations of European lineage inhabit-
ing Europe, the United States, Canada.
Australasia, Argentina, Uruguay, Chilli
South Africa, Siberia, and the whites
OF the island and tropical colonies of
Europe will need some 1880, 10000, 900
bushels of wheat, plus the 160, 00O, 900
or more bushels required to cover the
thirteenth month. Accepting the high
est reputable estimate of the outturn of
the 1889 harvest in the regions
named and adding 40,O0O,O0O bushels
of possible imports from southern Asia
and northern Africa, the available sup
ply aggregates 2,380,O00,0O bushels.
Granting that these estimates are ap-
proximately correct, it will lie neces-
sary to make anticipatory drafts upon
| the harvest Of 1899 for about 14O ,OO0,-
600 bushels, showing that even with
| the largest outturns the accumulation
! of reserves to tide over such defective
harvests as that of 1897 is no longer
possible, the power to make such ac-
cumulations having disappeared in the
absence Of acreage increases propor-
| toned to the increase of the consum-
| ing populations. :s5Sz 4 5I 5=

mothers reply, said:

we have once got it here "

talking together. <...>..,,. ! -

Lilly waited to hear no more; that
Was enough to let her know that deep
down in her heart she loved Percy; and
sinking down on her knees she prayed
for strength to battle with that love;
for was he not going to marry an
other?
Then, hearing a step coming, she
arose and bathed her face, just as a
knock was heard at her door.
Opening the door, she found Mrs.
Monroe there with message from her
son, requesting her to come down to
the sitting-room.
And Lilly, walking as one in a
trance, went down.
Percy, standing at the window, look
Ing out, did not seem to notice her at
first. And Lilly hesitated
and said in a low tone:
Mr.. Monroe, did you wish to see
me?"
he turned, and reaching out both
hands said:
Yes, Lilly, darling, I do wish to see
you; l want to tell you how much I
love you, and to ask you to be my

been very satisfactory, to judge from
the happy faces that came into the
room.

tent seem to hang like a curtain about

Ball Bearings on the Farm.

IL is probably a safe prediction that
al manufacturers Of harvesting ma
c!hlnery will eventually adopt ball bear
lngs wherever it is possible to use
them. In 1891 the Deering Harvester
company of Chicago equipped all their
machlnes with ball and roller bear
!9gs' and the great popularity OF the
luea led other manufacturers to ex-
pertinent with several styles of roller
bearings, hoping to apply them to their
machines without appearing to initiate
the orlginators too closely. The appli-
catlon OF ball bearings is more costly,
out popular demand will yet force all
competitors to follow the lead of the
Deering Company.
