Date GROWING I'm Arizona.

II present advices are correct an
other important industry, that OF date
growing, has been inaugurated in this
country. Through the efforts of our
Agricultural Department the date tree
of Algiers has been successfully trans
planted and successfully acclimated in
Arizona. and the beginning of another
profitable industry has thus been made.
II is predicted that in few years
American orchards will supply the en-
tire home demand for dates 1t would
seem that not only Arizona. but New
Mexico, the ''staked plain" region of
Texas, and considerable patches in
California and the Indian Territory af-
ford the peculiar conditions of soil and
climate necessary for the date. 1t does
not appear to thrive In regions where
tile humidity Is so great as In our Gulf
States. A single tree yields from 10O
to 400 pounds of dates per annum.

The big sea lizard dug out of Kansas
chalk two years ago has been mounted
at the American Museum of Natural
History. and is now on exhibition. The
skeleton, chestnut colored, is mounted
upon plaster panel twenty-five feet
long. Every bone lies In the original
chalk in which 1t was deposited. Mr..
Bourne. lawyer of Scott City. Kan,
discovered the skeleton while hunting
for fossils in the Bad Lands Of the
Smoky Hill River in western ~lnsas.
The tail stuck out of the side of Il
chalky gulley. The skeleton was cut
ont in dozen or fifteen chunks Of
chalk. which were shipped to the mus
eum Here the successive slabs We're
developed with delicate instruments.
and It was found that an entire moso-
saur was imbedded, from the tip of the
long pointed snout To the tip of the
tail. 1t was slightly less than thirty
feet In length. and belonged to the larg-
est AMI most powerful type OF sea liz
ards which ravaged the great Ameri-
can Mediterranean Sea in the chalk
period.
The animal lies exactly az II persisted
upon its yentral surface. with the fore

backbone thrown into an S-shaped
curve The tip OF the tail is missing.
The skull is four feet long and the
hind paddle three and half. II is
estimated that the girth of the body
behind the fore paddles was nine feet.
The jaws are armed with powerful
teeth The neck Is only two feet long.
The back Is eight feet long and the tail
fifteen feet in length. was evidently the
greatest propeller of the body.
The specimen agrees closely in size
with the fragmentary skeleton of a
similar animal described by Prof. Cope
in 1871 at Fort Wallace. Kan. In the
neck and chest region it was found
that the cartilage supporting the
trachea, forming "A broad band along
the abdominal line and supporting ten
nf the anterior ribs. were all well pre-
served. This renders possible a COM
plete restoration of the chest region.
Upon this turns the much-debated SCI
entific question whether these animals
are sea -serpents or sea lizards.

Let go or die. That's the alternative
of the shipwrecked man with the money
bags. If there was only some one TO
throw him a life preserver, he might
save both life and money. Without
help it is let go or die. A great many
people have a ike alternative before
them. Business men come to a point
where the doctor tells them that they
must "let 60 or die" Probably he adj

all that you desire, stop and think .

thing that you will miss almost as soor
as you arrive. 1t is a good plan after
having taken out all your things 10 &c
over to your drawers and closets again
in case you have overlooked something
that will catch your eye the second
time.
A stack OF tissue paper Is necessary
for complete and proper packing. as
so many things require wrapping. All
shoes should be carefully busted.

Dresses or waists OF light dainty ma

Lay all dress hooks inside. so that

Care will repay you in packing as in

and stuff out the loops on your hats.
After the hats have been put in po-
sition in their compartment tuck tbs.
sue paper around aud over them.
Put all your trifiing belongings in the
tray OF the trunk. and If your trunk
has a second skeleton tray 1t is good
place for your best waists with towel

The woman who really wants TO look

HOW FOSTER BEGAN LIE
Addison G. Foster of Wash

His Own Exertions Started AS
aPoor Farmers General Boy.

When He Was Asked If He Was an
Entirely Seif-made Man, He Told
the Story Of How He Had Become
Rich, and Attained His Present
Position.
mo man ever gave me dollar" said
Addison q. Foster, the new United
States Senator from Washington. when
asked if he was a self-made man.
Clark. the new Senator from Mon
tana, dEg a fortune out of the ground
with his hands. Scott. of West Nir-
ginia. panned gold In Colorado to get
his start in the world. Foster began
with AS little as these men. but he
made his money in trading and manu-
featuring and in real estate. He is a
Republican.
Il was born in Massachusetts" said
Mr. Foster, but came West with my
father when | was boy and settled
In Wisconsin. There were no railroads
and we came by the lakes OF Sheboy-
gan. l helped my father hew farm
out of the virgin forest in Wisconsin.
We had to cut down the trees and have
OK teams drag them away before we
could plant anything. Later we went
TO Northern Illinois. just west of chi.
cago. and farmed there.
Farming ON prairie land was easy
to anyone who had farmed in tile Wis
consin forest.
AFTER time my brother and l went
out into Kansas and did some farming,
hauling our products into Kansas City.
But got tired of that and give il up
to go into town in Minnesota and
teach school. That was where l earned
the first dollar that ever came to me
through my own exertions alone.
The new Senator looks the business
man He is of medium heigth. stout,
With gray hair and mustache. He talks
in the straightforward, business-like
way which is becoming more common
in the Senate every year. He said he
did not expect TO make a great reputa-
ton as an orator: but IL he does he
will be with the majority.

HEAVY GAIN IN CIEARINGs.
Bradstreet's Report Indicates In
crease in Business and Trade.

New York, Oct. 5.-Bradstreet' will say
next Saturday: September bank clearings
returns confirm early advices of the main
tenance of the country's general trade
and productive industry in exceedingly
large volume. When ii is recalled that
owing to holiday 0bservances at leading
cities the number of business days in Sep
TENDER was the smallest OF any month
except February, the facts that the ag-
gregate clearings at seyenty-slX cities e&-
ceeded. 81. 001, 00u, eco, were larger than those
of August and nearly as heavy as those
of july are evidence in the absence OF
any particular activity in stock or other
speculatioEs of the immense volume OF
business which was done.
AS illustrative of the great advance IN
business in this over preceding years, the
nine months clearingS returns are no
less significant. The total clearings for
nine months this year aggregate a sum
greater than the entire 1898 total, though
there are three months yet to elapse be-
fore the year is complete. In. this con-
nection the annual report of Manager
Sherrer of the New York clearing house
shows that the aggregate bank clearingS
in the year ending with September were
the heaviest ever known. exceeding by
nearly $4,000, 000, 600 the record total of 1881,
and this too in the face of the fact that
now less than ever before do the New
York City bank clearingS represent spec
ulative transactions, and on the contrary
more accurately represent legitimate
business transactions than at any pre-
ceulng DeflOQ.
The aggregate clearings at seventy-six
cities for the month of September were
s., 0l2 So. 22l, a gain of nearly per cent
over August, of 2S.6 per cent over Sep
TENDER a year ago and of Y per cent over
1897. while they are slightly more than
double those of September, 1896, and
nearly AZ per cent in excess of those of
September, 1882.
As Indicative of the fact that the eX-
pansion in the country's business is of d
particularly even and general character,
il is further to be noted that theHgain in
clearings at cities outside of New York
is almost identical with the gain at all
cities. Gains by groups Of cities for Sep
TENDER are more pronounced than were
to September last year having shown a
drop from the total in August. whereas
this year a contrary movement occurred.
The heaviest gain by any group is that
made by the far western cities. 40 per
cent. The smallest gain of any group, 10
per cent, is reported by the southeastern
cities. Here again the evenness of the
trade development the country over is
illustrated by the fact that five groups
of cities show gains within a compare
lively narrow range of "A TO 81 per cent.
For the nine months, as already re-
marked. the clearings are very large, eX-
ceeding. in fact, the aggregate for the
entire year 1898. which is the theaViest
there is any record of. As compared with
the nine months returns of $685. this
years returns show a gain of Il per cent,
are u per cent larger than those of 1897.
are III per cent heavier than in 1894, and
536 per cent heavier than in 1892
