III.Luck Made His Fortune.

Robert A. McCreary, Of Leechburg,
Kansas, just returned from the klon-
dixie, tells Of the strange experience
Of Gus Anderson, who preceded him
to the gold fields. Anderson is now a
millionaire and will soon return. He
went to the Klondike three years ago
with $500. A wave of Ill fortune
brought him wealth. Two miners had
stnked out claim on Ell Dorado
Creek. They heard Anderson had
money, and not having sufficient
means to begin work went to Ander-
son and offered to sell. Anderson re-
fused to buy, so the owners Of the ap-
parcntly poor claim proceeded to make
Anderson drunk The strangers made
out q deed for their claim, turned 1t
over to Anderson and relieved him of
his money. When he discovered the
action he was broken-hearted. Finally
he concluded to make the best OF his
hard lot. and went to work on the
claim without hopes. He sunk shaft
and q month later he cashcd out S.
200. The men who forced him to buy
then demanded fourth interest. An
derson secured help. The first year he
cleared $4,000 and the next S250,000
and the mine promises better results
this year. John Berger and McCreary
worked n claim next to Anderson's
and found nothing. They then went
10 work FOR Anderson at SO per day.

What Constitutes a Healthy Man.

One of our medical contemporaries,
the Texas Medical News, thus sums
up the qualities which constitute a
perfectly healthy man: He should
have a strong, healthy heart; not one
weak from disuse or the excessive use
of tobacco, alcohol or other causes;
lungs we'll developed and that expand
rhythmically with ample breathing
space for health and surplus for
iork or disease; muscles we'll round
ed and elastic, made hard and strong
by use and carrying, like the camers
hump, reserve energy for trying jour
neys; nerves, natures electric wires,
properly insulated and connected,
bringing all the various organs of the
body into one perfect system, and all
under the control of brain of just
proportions, we'll balanced and convo-
luted, not soft from disuse or de-
stroyed for the need Of rest, educated
for the high duties it has to perform,
not only to stand guard over and pro-
tect the health of and life of the in
dividuaI, but at the same time to fur
nish feeling and thought and pleasure
for the human being. All OF these or
gans, when properly constructed and
adjusted aud perfect in every detail,
20 to make up a healthy individual
and one possessing within himself a
power of resistance not easily over
come by disease-producing organisms.

travels Of +, Valuable Tin Box,

Mayor Foull1 of Piedmont, W. Va,
has received letter from William
Boyce of Philadelphia, stating that
while repairing a car in the freight
yard in the city he found under it q
tin box containing number of papers
belonging to the town of Piedmont.
At the mayors request it was for
wardei, and found to contain, besides
other papers, $795 worth of uncan-
celled coupons of the water bonds,
representing bonds to the amount of
$4,000. The coupons had been de-
tached from the bonds sold by
the council in 1897, and were for
three years. The box was taken from
the safe by some unknown party the
first part of last year, placed under
the freight car, probably while stand
ing in tho Piedmont yards, and has
since been carried all around the coun-
try until found.

When Coffee Ia Loft over.

With the most careful calculation,
says Mrs. Lincoln, there is frequently
coffee left over, not enough, perhaps,
for another serving as beverage, but
too much to be wasted. Do not leave
it iu the pot with grounds, but pour
it off or strain it carefully, and if it be
used again hot let it just come to the
boiling point. This will be much
nicer than to reheat it with the
grounds. 1t may be used to dilute
the egg for the next mornings coffee,
or as havoring in custards and
creams and ices; or as the liquid in
place of or with milk iu gingerbread,
cookies, cakes, etc., or when there is
sufficient quantity it can be made into
jelly. New York Tribune.

COVERED WITH EGGS.
One Gigantic Birds Neat in Leyson
Island, Near Honolulu.

One Gigantic Birds Neat in Leyson
Island, Near Honolulu.
Leyson island, which is perhaps the
most Interesting OF the Hawaiian
group, lies about eight hundred miles
west of Honolulu. 1t is not over
hundred miles in extent, but is exceed
ingly valuable on account OF the
guano beds which completely cover it.
It is an upheaval of coral reef, with
no forests, but numerous small trees
and shrubs. About twenty-five species
of birds are found there, including
ducks, boobies, gulls and frigate
birds,
son this small speck of land far
ont in the ocean," says John R.
Musick, in his book, Hawaii, Our
New Possession, the birds lay, hatch
and die by millions. When they fly
the sun is darkeped as if cloud had
passed over it. The decaying bones,
with disintegrated coral, help to form
tie guano, which is exported every
year by hundreds of tons in ships to
Hawaiian islands and the Pacific
coast. The birds seldom lay more
than one egg before incubation,
though often several in season.
They are very tame, and SO bold that
You can pick them up US you walk
along the path. They snap at the
trousers and dresses of persons who
are crossing the island, so that one is
compelled to carry stick for self-pro-
lection. They gather on the railroad
track in such numbers that man has
to sit in front of the car as it is drawn
by the mules with stick in hand, and
push them ont of the way
Sometimes parties of scientists or
hunters visiting the island find the
birds come tumbling into the doors of
their tent or any other opening, 80
that in order to sleep in peace every
aperture must he closed. Mr.. Frieze,
the manager of the island, told me
that he was often compelled TO keep
the door Of his house closed to shut
the birds out.
"'Wby, they tumble around us by
the thousands, and become q
nuisance, he said.
DO you shoot them?' I asked.
'Shoot them! No! Why waste
ammunition? If I want bird [
simply go out and pick it up. Often
they will run right into my hands, as
if they wanted to be caught.
''The eggs on Leyson island are
frequently gathered in wheelbarrows,
cars filled with them and schooners
loaded. This industry, however, is
improbable. owing to the great dis
tance they have to be exported.
1--WE hope the white man will not
consider the birds of Leyson island
one of his burdens and proceed to e1-
terminate them, as was done with the
buffalo and other animals by advanc-
ing civilization"
The manager, Mr.. Frieze, with
several Japanese servants, lives on the
island six months in the year.

Some Hints for Homa Building.

In considering the interior of q
house, those PORTIONS of it which meet
the vital needs of the family, the kit
cheus and bedrooms, are of first inn
portance. The kitchen should be
small enough for convenience and
large enough, if possible, for comfort
in warm weather. An oblong shape
seems desirable, short distance be-
tween the range and the serving table,
a long distance stretching between
two windows for good ventilation.
The kitchen should be so placed that
the prevailing winds will blow the
fumes from the house and not into
the living If the plan for cost
and size will admit, other windows
may be set above line of shelves,
where they will admit sun and air and
yet not occupy wall space needed for
furniture. A kitchen porch should be
added where vessels can be summed,
and where butcher and baker can de-
posit their wares and leave the kitchen
floor clean and the cooks temper con-
sequently unruffied,
Between the kitchen and the body
of the house there should be passage
way with openings opposite each other.
This is another insurance policy
against kitchen odors. which, howerer
clean and proper in the kitchen, do
not belong in the other part ofsha
house. We know that cooking md
cleaning must go OH in our homes,
but it is part of the housekeepG's
art to hide the machinery and show
only tie charming results. AS we go
towards the front of the house We
must pass, not through the dining
room and pantries, as in so many
houses, but through side passage,
small but we'll lighted and cut off
from tho li!chen and pantries by q
door. Good Housekeeping.

ITO THAT INDUSTRIOUS AMERICAN: ::
THE PACIFICATOR AND RE- {.
GENERATOR OF THE :.
UNITED STATES OF VENEZUELA, :.
GEN. ANTONIO GUZMAN-BLANCO. :.

And they did not misrepresent
the case, as monument sometimes do.
He may have acquired wealth him
self, but he made his country rich.
He may have exercised arbitrary
power, but they needed what he gave
them and were better for it. He may
have been cruel and bloody and ty-
rannical, but all his excesses of au-
thority never cost them in blood and
treasure what they paid when they
had no master.
Some idea may by the following in
cident be gained of his manner of dis
charging the commissions his own
power had secured. He was to buy
a new cruiser for his country and
might spend $3.50, 900 for it. He did
spen.. $500, 000-or, at least, he drew
that amount. But good men cay he
paid but S14S, 900 for the very indif-
ferent vessel he bought and put the
remaining 1852, 900 in his bank. He
raised the rate of interest on govern
ment bonds held in Europe and
lowered it OH bonds held at home,
getting good fee for the transaction.
He located immigration parties not
only on public land, but on r:ivate
land unoccupied. He demanded that
students who refused to adorn his
statues, as was the annual custom, be
shot, and he commanded the presi-
dent to enact much Guzman. .Blanco
legislation.
Of course the financial and CONNER
cial classes were alienated. Of course
the agricultural and mining interests
were antagonized. Of course the stu
dents famed into open and vociferous
enmity. And then, one by one, the
generals who were bound to the alb
sent dictator were reduced, and "the
illustrious American" learned what is
meant by the adage, "Out Of sight,
out of mind"
He might have rallied nil the force
in the country if he had appeared at
any port or in any capital. But he
was growing old. Ease had enervated
him. His lust for power was as strong
as ever, but he more and more dread
ed the awful labor that recapturing q
country involved.
So he died, the father of nine chill
dren, proprietor of a magnificent
property in Paris, the envied of mon
archs, the spectre of millions far
across The sen. And yet he was, when
ali is said and done, just what his FIVE
statues declare-''the pacificator and
regenerator of Venezuela.

REMARKABLE YIELD OF WHEAT,
Mr. Fred Oliver and the Charlotte Oil &
Fertilizer Co. Lead the Country.

Mecklenburg County, North Carolina,
has no doubt again lead the United
States In growing wheat. The Charlotte
Oil and Fertilizer Co., had l45 acres
and Mr.. Fred Oliver 21O acres, making
355 acres of wheat grown BY one man
ager, Mr.. Oliver.
This wheat suffered from the excess
siYe rains and cold weather experience
ed by the whole Winter wheat territory
last Winter, and the yield was cut oil
at least so per cent by the damage done.
1t gave an average yield, however, OF
20 bushels per acre. Many acres that
were so situated as to be protected by
good drainage and by surrounding
woods, gave yield OF over 40 buihels
per acre. Mr.. Oliver claims he can raise
40 to so bushels of wheat per acre wita
favorable seasons.
The fertilizer used last season cost
s4.00 per acre. and 1t would no doubt
have given double the yield of wheat
the weather had been favorable
Why raise cotton when you can ge;
more money value from wheat, with
less labor and expense, and at the SANG
time have chance to grow on same
land, same season, another crop either
OF peas, millet or corn. The farmers
in the South will be much more indie
pendent when they raise all the wheat
corn and hogs and cattle that they con
sumo, and only half as much cotton rs
Is now grown.
You can crow good wheat, corn and
hay, and gather two crops per year
You can improve your land and make
1t worth double in fye years what II
will now sell for. You can not do il
by raising cotton alone, you mus
farm on a broader minded principle
and use fertilizer freely, and above all
use the highest grade fertilizer on the
market, 1t is cheaper than the Lowest
grades, quality considered.

Poultry Notes.

Keep the moulting hens ont Of the
rain and do not let them roost in trees.
Nice plump-bodled chickens always
find a ready market. Try to supply
that kind.
:. Gather 4 few barrels Of road dust
for the hens bath this winter.
Repair all leaks and cracks in the
poultry house now, and arrange the
scratching shed for winter.
Don't expect your hens to lay when
you neglect them. and then complain
thnt there is no profit in poultry.
Don't let your fowls roost in damp
house, and then wonder why they
wheeze and have swollen heads.
One hundred hens will consume one
hundred pounds Of grit during the
year, and still some people foolishishly
neglect to supply it.
Don't neglect to give fresh. cool
water to the fowls twice daily. Many
of the so-called diseases have their
origin in failure to get pure water.

New Resettine Revolver.

An Austrian gunmaker, who has
devoted great time and attention to
reYolvers and repeating rifles, has
patented a new form of revolver. In
the present type Of weapon the gas
generated in the discharge is made
use of for reloading and resetting the
revolver, but in the new one the
functions are performed By mechan-
ism. Climatic conditions affect the
gases and render the weapon less
effective; this state of things is avoid
ed by the new patent.

stains On Tnblc Linen.

Before sending table linen to the
laundry, at this season especially, it
should be carefully looked over, and
all stains removed. Ordinarily, frnit
stains may he readily taken out by
spreading the stained part of the
fabric over the top of bowl and
pouring hot water from the teakettle
through the stain. Peach stains will
not yield to this treatment; but if
rubbed in alcohol before. putting the
linen in water, they will usually dis.
appear. If more heroic measures are
necessary. use Javelle water, but rinse
with the utmost thoroughness after
ward to prevent the eating OF the
cloth.
