A Real Genius.

The man that sharpened shoe pegs
at both ends and sold them for wheat
was a genius, but he has his equal in
Mexico. Some time ago one of the
habitual revolutionary fare-ups was
about to commence in one of the bel
ligerent little South American Presi-
denotes which masquerade under the
title Of republics. A couple of hundred
men marshaled in opposition to the
government, swore solemn oaths, and
met nightly in an abandoned hut at
the entrance to a swamp. Enthusiasm
was plentiful, but arms were scarce;
so purse was made up, and three of
the party set off to buy ammunition.
They went to Mexico, where cargo
of powder was delivered to them, and,
after inspection, was shipped to the
revolutionary headquarters. A signal
gun was mounted on a hilltop, and
when the day and hour arrived the
field marshal Of the revolutionary army
touched q match to the fuse of the
piece. There was no response. The
marshal used all the matches in his
silver matchbox. but the gun refused
to fire. An investigation by the "War
Office followed, and that cargo of
powder proved to be nothing but ma
hogany sawdust, which had been Wig
orously stirred up with powdered
graphite to give it the proper color and
appearance.

and produced vegetables and plants
that compared favorably with the
products of gardens almost anywhere
in southern ATTITUDES. The peas were
especially prolific, and the turnips, rad
ishes, parsnips, parsley and satisfy pro-
douced roots as good as can be found
anywhere. Some of the turnips weigh
ed five pounds each, and some even ten
pounds, and were Of excellent flavor.
Potatoes also were a decided success.
Many of them weighed each a pound
or more.
A more important test, however, was
made with grains and foliage plants.
Oats and barley were grown at Sitka
and Skaguay with gratifying results.
Several varieties of Norwegian and
Russian barley were grown with the
same excellent result as with the oats.
Of forage plants there were seeded
several varieties of Norwegian clover,
timothy, hairy vetch and Riga fax, and
all were successful, the clover being
especially vigorous, measuring over
two feet high.
Alaska is pre-eminently land of
small fruits and berries. The flavor of
most of the native berries is pronOunc-
ed to be so excellent that it is said they
are worthy of introduction into the
States
Cattle were introduced in Alaska
long ago by the Russians in their varl-
GUS settlements, and, according to re-
ports, they always did well. Professor
Georgeson reports that the cattle now
found at the little towns along the
coast thrive and appear to have be-
come well adapted to the climate. This
excellent condition, Prof. Georgeson
saws. is evidence of the nutritious quail
tiles of the indigenous grasses.
The soils of Alaska are largely OF
vegetable origin, and to great degree
resemble the black earth of rice lands
or neat formations. In the southeast
ORR norton of Alaska there are deep
denosits of this rich soil everything slate
or conglomerate bedrock. The organic
content of many Of these soils Is very
much higher than in any of the agri-
cn1tural lands of the States. Ii these
soils are so situated as to be well dram
cd they should be capable OF producing
enormous crops, and, with an abun-
dant and well distributed RAINFALL Iney
would be adapted to almost any klno
ne cron suited to the general climatic
conditions of that portion Of the coun-
try.

Lost Child OF the Miamis

In ITO, when a mere child, Frances
Slocum was stolen from her parents by
a rowing Indian band at Wilkesbarre,
tide of Indians and was finally adopted
by chief of the Miamis. Her parents
searched far and near for their miss
ing child, but were unable to locate her
until she had been adopted by the
Miami tribe, and when Overtures were
made for her return she declared that
the life in the Indian camp had such a
fascination for her that she had no de-
sire to return to civilization. She was
extremely popular among the members
of the tribe, and the village southwest
of Wabash, Ind, where she made her
home was known as the white wom-
ans village. AS she grew to woman
hood, adopting the savage customs, at
tire and language, she married She-pan-
can-nah, meaning the Deaf Man, the
chief of the Usage village, and by him
had four children, two sons and two
daughters She accompanied her hus-
band to the Usage village and after
ward to the Deaf Mans village, and
lived there long after the white man
had invaded the wilderness and begun
to clear up the dense forests.
She-pah-can-nah died in 1888, and in
1917, fourteen years after. she died at
the age of 80, loved and respected by
whites and Indians alike Frances Slo-
GUMS Indian name was Mah-cones-
quah, or Young Bear" Her daughter,
Observation-Disclosures, became the wife Of
Capt. B. Broulliette, and died on March
13, 1S47, aged AZ. The other daughter
was s-shing-quah, who mar
ried Tahoe nah, and he dying she be-
came the bride of Wah-pah-pe-tah, and
several of her children by the last mar
rage live on the Indian land south of
Wabash in abject poverty. She died in
January, 1877, the last of Frances Slo-
GUMS children.

ing have been achieved. The northern
part of Holland is the seat Of the Edam
cheese industry, and the consequent
cleanliness of the relish lis therefore
dOubly assured. In making it the fresh
cows milk Is carefully strained and the
renet added. AS soon as the milk cur
dies the whey is drawn off and the
curd, thoroughly kneaded, is pressed
into molds. This process is repeated
until the whey has all been extracted
and the curd is comparatively dry. It
is then wrapped in linen cloth and
kept for ten or twelve days until quite
solid Then the cloth is removed and
the cheese put into salt I've. Afterward
a little more dry salt is sprinkled on the
cheese, until the maker thinks it is salt
enough to insure it's keeping It is next
put into a vessel and washed with
whey and scraped to remove the white
crust. 1t is next carried into cool
room and laid on shelves, where it is
frequently turned. The ripening proc
ess lasts from two to three months, the
round balls growing the fine yellow or
reddish color peculiar to Edam cheese.
The cheeses intended to be exported
to this country are rendered still more
brilliant by dyeing the rind with veg
etable dye.-New York Tribune.

HOTEL SERVANTS ARE HONEST.
They Are Often Accused of Stealing,
but Are Rarely Guilty.

they Are OFTEN Accused of Stealing,
but Are Rarely Guilty.
"a curious thing happened here to-
day." said the head clerk at one Of the
leading hotels in New Orleans to a
meS-Democrat man. about mouth
ago a gentleman and his wife, from
Milwaukee, spent couple of days in
the house, and on leaving the lady
missed valuable ring. She was posi-
tive she left it ON the dresser and equal
ly positive it had been stolen by one of
the servants. We set an investigation
on foot and promised to forward the
ring if found. A little later the hus-
band wrote to inquire whether the
search had been successful, and when
we replied in the negative he notified us
that he proposed to sue the hotel. He
claimed we had shown great negligence
in not arresting suspected employee,
and his comments were bitter in the
extreme. That was two weeks ago.
Nov here is the sequel in the shape
Of third letter that arrived this morn
ing. He says that he and his wife
reached home few days ago and in
unpacking the luggage found the ring
in one Of the trunks, and he is manly
enough to add very handsome apol-
ogy for his hasty conclusions. Strange
to say, that is the first time in the his
tory Of the house that any guest has
frankly admitted such a blunder after
taking his departure, and blunders of
that kind are of almost weekly occur
renee.
cit is the commonest thing in the
world at all hotels for persons to go
away declaring that they have been
robbed by the help. We know the miss
ing article subsequently turned up, be-
cause the subject is never referred to
during later visits, but in the mean
while score or so of humble, but hon
est and hard working people, have been
placed under suspicion that is wholly
unwarranted and unjust. That is a
point the average traveller, doesn't seem
to consider. Hotel chambermaids are
continually returning valuables which
they find in rooms. Dishonesty among
then is so rare as to be almost I'M
known

death with his own club by Herman
Mueller. Kossow was trying to quell a

SOW was the biggest man on the force
and one of the strongest and most active.
Mueller was his equal in size. The two
men struggled together until Mueller got

Big Cranberry Crop.

There is probably no business to-day in
the farming line in Wisconsin that pays
so well as raising cranberries. A. O.
Bennett & Son, whose cranberry marsh
is five miles north of Cranmoor, raised
this season on seventy acres 2,4OO barrels
of cranberries, which are now gathered
and in his storehouse, and, if sold at pres
ent prices would bring about 1000, and
as the expenses Of raising the 2,4OO bar
rels would not exceed $1,000, he will real
ize good profit. All other cranberry
growers in that district have done proper
tionately we'll this season. Gaynor-Back-
Stone Company, 1000 barrels ON thirty
acres; G. e. Lester & Co., 800 barrels
on twenty acres; Arpin Cranberry Com
pany, 1000 barrels on thirty acres; w.
Fl. Fitch & Son, ninety barrels on 21a
acres.

Queer Jap Funeral.

Lieut.. Yoshibumi Fuka gawa, Of the

to his family few days prior to his
death, which occurred the other day in
his native district of Hizen. He OBJ
served to his family that as he had
never had the time to investigate relig-
ious questions deeply enough to enable
him to determine which faith he should
en- brace, he was neither prejudiced
against nor partial toward any form Of
religion. However, he himself was OF
the cessation Of his life, while his re-
mains. would crlImble to dust There
fore he did not wish to have any relig
ious service performed on his behalf
The funeral, also, should be as simple
as could be; and flowers and similar
offerings be strictly declined. No an
nouncement should be made Of his
death to friends Of his until four or five
days after the funeral. Two or three
weeks after his death his relatives and
friends should be invited to banquet,
and they should be asked to join the
occasion as heartily as possible. A
priest might be invited, if the presence
of such a parsonage was deemed de-
sirable AT the funeral, also, nobody
should accompany the bier; except, if
considered necessary, one Or two repre-
sentatives on behalf of the family and
relatives might follow the remains to
the grave The tomb was to be of the
simplest description, only his name be-
ing inscribed upon it. A memorial tab
let was entirely tabooed.-Japan Times

Dennis Quinn was found dead at the
junction Of the Milwaukee and North
western tracks in Beloit. His neck and
hip were broken and above his eye was
bruise. His clothes were soaked with
water, which indicated that he might
have fallen in the river nearby. How his
clothes could be in this condition with his
body lying on high ground near the track
is mystery that is bothering his friends
and the police. Inasmuch as he notified

an attack from someone unnamed, sup
