A Traveller and Some Monkeys

A traveller and sportsman tells an
amusing story of IN experience In
upper India. He had been shooting
some wild fowl on sultry day, and to
refresh himself undressed and plunged
into pool about four feet deep in or
der to enjoy quiet bath. He had
scarcely plunged in when his attention
was attracted by noise among the
branches overhead, and on looking up
he saw that some twenty or thirty
gray monkeys were seated grayely
watching his proceedings. Soon one
gray-bearded old fellow quietly came
down from the tree and took his seat
ON the bank and stared with all his
eyes. His example was followed by
the others, one by one, till all were on
the ground. There they sat In semi
circle-keeping quite still, all solemnly
gazing at the strange spectacle.
At last one small monkey leaped upon
the back Of another, steadying himself
by clasping his hands over the fore
head Of his friend. The two monkeys
looked so ridiculous that the bather
laughed aloud. At this unexpected out
break the whole troop of monkeys
took to their heels. scuttled up the
trees, and with loud and angry chatter
ing shook the branches in their indig-
nation at being laughed at. Not one of
them again came down from its lofty
shelter.

TRADE BAL ANcE FOR 1898.

Among the many items of unusual in
terest contained in the annual report
OF the Secretary of the Treasury for
the year ending June 80, 1898, none
Will interest thoughtful persons more
than the extraordinary showing of our
trade with foreign nations. Our eX-
ports during the past year reached the
phenomenal sum of 81, 36.5S7 $50. or
more than one hundred million dollars
per month. During the same period
our imports fell off greatly, amounting
to only $G46,97T7. 435, the lowest figures
for eighteen years, except the years
1851, 1855 and 1856, says the Silver
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. The figures given
include silver bullion, which must be
classed rs merchandise, since the minis
are closed against the coinage of that
metal. After offsetting imports with
exports, there is balance due the
United States of $G39,61O, 1874. This
represents the amount of gold the Uni
ted States should have received from
other countries during the year, and
our gold money ought to have been in
creased by that amount.
The Secretary's report, however,
shows that the excess of imports over
exports of gold during the year
amounted to only S1O4,9S5,2s5 or $534,-
624. $40 less than the amount called for
by the trade balance In our favor.
How does 1t happen that of the $780,
61O.l34 due us from other countries to
balance the accounts of last year we
actually received in gold less than one
fifth of the amount, or $1O4,9S5. 2S5?

influence Of the M,d muIlah.

Not much is known about the mad
mullah," the old man of India. He is
mad only in the fanatical sense. He
first made himself notorious in the
Chitral outbreak of 1895, when, al-
though more than seventy years old,
he was among the foremost in energy
and strategic ability. In the fighting
at the Malakand he lost two fingers,
and afterward the members were bur-
led with great pomp in the Bonair
valley, and n shrine was erected to
mark the spot.
The mullah is a native of the Bonair
country, and wields therein trcmen-
dous amount of influence. This intiu-
cnce he has used in skillfully turning
the cnmity Of the people in Swat
against the khan of Dir in the lie
had" or holy war. There is feud of
long standing between the Swatis and
the kahan. The kahan claims certain
parts of upper Swat, and at intervals
from before the British occupation I'M
til this day, he has been in the habit
of ralding the country. His agent, q
Khaki Khel of the Zuirat, near Now
shea, had spread terror throughout
the valley. but it is doubtful whether
the khan. with all his boasts-for he is
a weak man-would be able to main
tain his official position were it not
for British support.
The frontier will not be secure as
long us the mullah is at large. but the
suppression of the present outbreak is
likely to lead to an independent in
Iniry into the pretensions of the khan
o. Dir with view to a settlement of
the old controversy.-London Letter in
Chicago Record,

How to secure Large Potatoes.

How to Secure Large Potatoes.
1t will pay to thin potatoes to one
stalk in place and SO give all the
strength and moisture of the land to
those that remain. 1t might be well
to cut all eyes of the potatoes when
planted, except such as are desired to
grow. and so save the trouble of thin
ming out the field to some extent. There
is no profit In growing n large crop of
potatoes unless they are of merchant
able size. The largest potatoes are al
ways found where the largest and
strongest stalks grow, and the small
ones where they are small and weak.
1t is mistake to plant small seed. or
to cut the large ones TO one or two eyes
to save seed and to reduce the number
of plaats. as the common practice is.
1t is much better to plant whole pota-
toes of good size. or, If large, to cut
them at most only in halves. OF course,
1t will cost more to seed field, but
with good seed properly 1nlnned, much
better results can be obtained.
Ii one desires to raise the largest
quantity possible from few seed,
great results can be obtained by taking
off the shoots and transplanting, but
the potatoes will not grow large. 1t
may not be known to some people that
each eye In potato is capable Of pro-
ducing large number of shoots; as
fast as taken off others will grow. Usu-
ally not more than two or three to each
eye will start when planted, but that
number is far too many to be left to
grow.-Orange Judd Farmer.

Attacked by a Trapped Wildcat.

A ChaumOnt trapper while on his
rounds for muskrats, mink, etc.,
heard the most appalling screeches and
cries. Curiosity overcame his fears
rs he crept nearer. until he finally
came within sight of n wildcat, which
had been caught by one leg in trap.
The trapper hadn't much time to lay
plans, for when the beast caught sight
of him it sprang for his throat, max
ing a leap of twelve feet through the
air, the length of the trap chain, with
every hair erect, its eyes glistening
like balls of fire, and uttering the most
terrifying shrieks Guernsey says he
is positive that had he been unarmed,
he would have been blinded, throt.
tied or killed on the spot, for no hui
man being could withstand IN attack
SO swift and violent. But he met the
beast with Il Ratchet. felled him and
quickly dispatched him. The cat
weighed thirty nine pounds,-New

What the Fifty-tifth Congress was

two quite different things.

currants for Profit,

There is no kind of small fruit that Is
so sure crop il kept from the worm as
the currant. 1t also generally sells at
n good price, with the advantage to the
grower that the currants will remain
on the bushes two or three weeks, not
only without injury, but each day
growing better after they are colored.
THIS may not altogether prevent glut
In the market, but 1t at least gives the
currant grower more time in which to
market his fruit. The only drawback
to currant growing is the currant
worm, but this is so easily killed by
timely applications of hellebore pow
der that 1t is really an advantage to the
grower who uses 1t in time, as it de-
stroys the currants of so many others
who would otherwise be his COMPETE
tors. There is nothing usually to be
made in what everybody can produce
very easily.-American Cultivator.

Moines Gets the Republican conven-
ton To Experiment in Road Making

The people in Williams are satisfied
that the mystery of the skeleton found
half buried under debris of the Fiddler
drug store is solved at last. The dead
man was Fritz u. Schrader. an heir to
100000 marks, about 100000. He was
Prussian who left Rreslau twenty-six
years ago. After making a tour of this
country he came to Williams, where he
landed as a tramp in 1887. He worked
for money enough to buy what whisky he
wanted and became n celebrated clarac-
ter, sleeping in barns, box cars and under
houses. A recent letter from Germany
says fortune of about 100000 marks has
been left to Schrader by relatives in Prus-
sia. Schrader disappeared from Williams
about eleven years ago, and it is now be-
lieved that he went to sleep under the
Fiddler drug store and died of heart dis
ease. The skeleton was found when the
store burned recently.

Cotton-seed meal is extremely diff

spots in the meal is almost entirely in

can digest it better. but 1t is so concen-

Malt skim mings a. Feed.

Only the barley that comes up to
standard weight, 4S pounds per bushel,
is good for mailing. Where there are
nearby malt houses the skimmings of
the malt vat, which consist of light
barley with some oats among 1t, may
often be purchased ut a low rate. 1t
makes an excellent feed for growing
hogs or for horses. But the grains are
swollen, and therefore do not contain
the same nutrlment that they would
have for the same bulk that had not
been through the mailing vat.
