something sinful, carnal, worldly,

Samoan Gentleness in War.

War is savage in it's "ery nature, and one looks for war among savages to be peculiarly barbarous. IT., such is not always the case among the peo~ pie of Samoa is attested by letter sent from Samoa by an American gen. tlema1 who recently visited Apia, and who gives a description of Mataafa's army in camp after a battle between the rival claimants to the throne:
 We went all about among the huts where the savages were resting after the battle and making preparations for the next fight. It was very peaceful scene, for their arms were all conceal ed under the mats, where the men sat- and many of the soldiers were accom- panied by their wives and children They were amusing themselves by smoking and beating tom-toms
 "The Samoans are a most amiable race of savages, and white people are always perfectly safe among them Everywhere we are greeted with smiles and friendly mods and the salutation 'Talofa,' which means Love to you, from men, women and children.
 "One instance of their friendly feel ing occurred during the big battle. A white man, who lived in the street where they were fighting, saw that two of his horses had strayed out be- tween the hostile lines. He did not want to lose them, and he did not wan. to venture out in the line of fire. So he stuck a white flag out of his win dow. Upon seeing it, both chiefs or dered their men to stop firing and hos tilities were suspended while n white man went out and drove his horses l. a place of shelter. Then the combat ants went at it again"

First tn Malolos.

James ]. Corkhill of comyany E, Kansas 20th regiment, writes to the Alan (Kss.) Enterprise this account of how 1t happened that the fas of the goth Kansas was the first to float over Malolos, the insurgent capital:
 'We were halted in the shade just outside the city when Col. Bunston came ga;loping down the line and told our commander that the general want ed few men to advance ahead of the lines to reconnoiter. Lieut. ball and sixteen men from company k were chosen, your correspondent happening to be one of the lucky number. We cautiously advanced into the outskirts Of tho town and wended our way up Main street (although we didn't then know it was Main street., keeping as much as possible under cover of the bamboo shacks. We soon discovered that the negroes had breastworks thrown across the street and ill front of the large Catholic church. Almost at the same time they saw us and 8 volley of Mausers flew over our heads.
 Well, said Col. Funston, that's all the general wanted to know but after he heId a lrj.le confab whn Ll~ A.. Ball they decided on a closer acquaintance with cur dusky friends It's little risky, but think we can do it, said Col. Funston. Come on, boys, let's get them out of there
 'So away we went, up the street like whirlwind, yelling and shooting and making racket enough to scare whole army. Little Col. Funston, with his revolver in one hand, was waving his hat in tue other and yelling: Give it to them, boys Give it to them!' guess the negroes thought that his satanic majesty was indeed after them or that tf- whole American army was upon them, for, after firing a couple of volleys at us, they turned and ran as never saw any one run before. On through the public square we chased them and clear to the other side of the town
 Thus it was that sixteen Kansas boys. led by our brave colonel and daring second lieutenant, drove the in- &argenbs out of their capital city.
 An hour later, when we returned, we found that the army had poured in and filled the town and our regiment was sitting in the shade of AguinaIdo's doorstep. Before leaving the fnsur- gents h.ee v .cceeded in setting fire to the large church, which was now in flames. Mary of the Chinese remained in the town, and when our little squad dashed into the public square it was amusing to Kee the 'Chenomen crawl ing out of windows and cellars and from under bridges. each carrying little white flag and shouting: 'Agnego.

EARNED BY DOCTORS.

The large personal estate, some $1.- S75.0OO, left by the late Sir William Jenner of London. makes it interesting to recall the big fortunes left by other fashionable and successful medicos of recent times in England.
 pr. Thomas Armitage left over $1.- O00,O00, but the bulk of this was cer~ tainly not professional earnings; Dr. Paul of CamberweR amassed over $500O00 but he owned one. if not two, lucrative private lunatic asylums.
 The next largest personally to Sir w. Jenner's was that of Sir William Gull. He died in 1890, leaving s1,720,- 110 behind him. This, of course, was the result of professional fees, large proportion of which for a long series of years had been excellently invested
 Then comes the late Sir Andrew Clark, though there Is a large falling eff in the amount, S1,034, ,465. Sir An drew sank good round sum In real estate. Another big fortune was Sir Oscar Clayton's, about $735 900, and yet another of quite recent date, Sir Rich- ard Quain's, about $585, 900.
 Sir William Bowman, the oculist, Sir Prescott Hewett. Sir George Paget and Sir Risdon Bennett left substantial for tunes, but all were we'll under the S5O0,O00 mark. There has been specul- lation as to what incomes some of these successful doctors earned; $15000 or $20,000 year is a big income for professional man, but at one time Sir William Gull's professional fees most certainly averaged $1.00o week, if not more, while Sir Andrew Clark's talk ings at the zenith of his career must have amounted to an average of over $1,500 for every six working days. There are prizes in the medical pro tessiGn, without doubt.

TREES.

It is estimated that 400, 900, 600 feet of logs will be cas in Maine tbis sea- son.
 That wood will stand the passing of centuries as well as metal is proved by the unearthing near the Nile of some Egyptian boats nearly 5000 years old, which are in good condition.
 Norway and Sweden export an irn> mense amount of lumber. In one year s16,000,000 worth of manufactured lum~ Der was sent out by Norway. while Sweden exceeded this sum by $20, ,00o.- 900 worth of sawn and hewn lumber alone
 The most noted grove of walnut trees in the United States, containing ffty-one black walnut trees. all of them of enormoos size, was sold at Cassopolis, Mich, for $10, ,000 cash. The purchasers were German and English parties. The logs will be cut and squared for shipment. It is estimated that one of the trees will produce S1,- 200 worth of choice lumber. It was oyer 100 feet of good logging size, it's largest diameter was feet, circumfer- enee 21.99 feet and it would require five men hand in hand to encircle it.
 A curiosity exists near the Red Bluff Primitive Baptist church in Ware county, Georgia. It is a mammoth mulberry tree and the heart has long since routed. Out of the heart of the mulberry grows a cherry and peach tree, both of which are eight inches in diameter. They grow to a point ten feet above the ground. All three of the trees are alive and bear fruit every year.

Rats as a Diet.

That the Chinese consider rats de- sirable as diet is well known, but the reason is not familiar. A China man is quoted as saying: What car rot is to a horses coat a rat is to the human hair Neither fact can be ex- Blained, but every horseman knows that a regimen ef carrots will make his stud smooth and lustrous as vel vet, and the Chinese, especially the women, know that rats used as food will stop the falling out of hair and make the locks soft, silky and beau tiful. I have seen it tried many times. Utica Press.

The Largest Bicycle.

The largest bicycle ever built was the product of an American concern, and was built for advertising purposes. The framework was made of six-inch tubing. The wheels had circumfer- ence of forty-fiye feet, and were fitted with single-tube tires eighteen inches in diameter. Half a dozen men could readily find room on the gigantic sad- dle.

To Prevent Squalls.

Here is the published remedy for in- fantile sleeplessness discovered by an Englishman who has suffered much in the cause: "As soon as the squaller awakes prop It up in a sitting position with pillows and smear it's fingers with thick molasses or syrup. Then put half dozen feathers into his hands, and baby will sit and pick the feathers from one hand to the other until it falls asleep.

a Corn Harvester.

In company with Fred Zutavern. D.
T. Armstrong and A. S, Allen we drove
out to Walter Cornelrs place, just
south of the Arkansas river bridge,
Tuesday of this week to see a test of
the working of a Mccormick Corn
Harvester. The corn was large and
heavy, the ground soft, and quite
weedy, but the machine did its work
all right, binding the corn in bundles
as a self binder handles wheat, and
dropping the bundles off at the pleasure
of the driver. We doubt if the average
corn field is as heavy as the one where
the test was made; and certainly most
fields will be freer of weeds and sun.
flowers, and the ground less rough.
Three good horses-or the same team
required for iister-are needed to pull
the machine. and the corn can be bound
from ground as fast as the ground was
listed, or s to 10 acres a day for one
man and three horses. The bundles
of fodder can be easier handled ID shock
ing, hauling or feeding than in the case
of sledded or hand cut corn.
On next Saturday, the 10Th. at P.
M, another exhibition of the machine
will be given, at the same palce, just
south of the Arkansas river bridge.
