A HEROIC CAPTAIN.
ONLY 10, BUT HAS RENDERED
GALLANT SERVICE.
Said to De the Most Youthful of His
Rank In the Navy-Made Himself
tsin.

The youngest captain in the service
States is Smedley Darlington Butler,
OF West Chester, Pa, who although but
19 years of age has served with dis
tinction In Cuba, the Philippines and
In China. In the attack on Tientsin,
during which he was wounded, he so
distinguished himself that he won pro-
motion to a captaincy. The young
captain is the eldest son of Congress-
man Thomas S. Butler, and springs
from two of the most prominent Ches-
ter families. When the Spanish-Am-
erican war broke out young Butler was
student at college, but becoming i'm
bued with the spirit of patriotism,
determined to volunteer his services.
Going to West Chester without his
fathers knowledge he enlisted with
Company l, Sixth regiment, N. G. P,
but failed to pass the physical exam
nation, his eyes being a little at
fault.
Learning there was to be competi-
tive examination for lieutenants in
the marine service at Washington, he
resolved to try it, but his father OBJ
iected. Finally he consented to the
trial, but would tender no assistance.
The boy went to Washington, passed
the ordeal OF examination, and out of
a class of over 200 was second. He was
given a second lieutenant commission
and assigned to duty on Admiral
SIMPSONS flagship, the New York.
Although at that time not yet II
years old, he saw active service and
plenty of 1t. He was one of the lead
ers of that gallant band of marines
that landed on Cuban soil at Guam
tanamo and engaged the Spanish
forces in the guerilla warfare that en-
sued for several days. He was on board
the New York during the destruction
of Cervera's feet and at the conclusion
of the war was mustered out of serv-
ice.
But he was not satisfied. A few
months later, having again overcome
the family objections, and when the
trouble in the Philippines arose, he
again submitted himself to a competi-
tive examination, and once more
passed well up at the head of the class.
Butler was assigned to duty in the
Philippines as first lieutenant of com
pany G, First marine battalion. He
served here with great credit until he
was ordered to China. when he won

What One Grain of Wheat Did.

Did you ever stop to think Of the
possibilities of a grain of wheat? We
are 50 used to seeing the field sown
with wheat and the crop come up and
ripen that we quite forget how each
little grain does great work through
the summer days In multiplying and
adding TO the farmers harvest y
farmer near Phoenix, Ariz., planted
one grain of white Australian wheat,
and at harvest time from it had sprung
1860 grains of large, fat wheat He
planted ten acres of this wheat and
harvested III sacks, each weighing
13S pounds. The single grain spoken
of produced SO stalks, so you see even
q grain of wheat helps wonderfully.

Punctureless Tires,

A German scientist has patented
what he asserts to be puncture proof
tire filling. The filling is jelly made
of glue. Glycerine is added to prevent
hardening, and an antiseptic prepara-
ton that keeps 1t from fermenting.
The mixture is first heated until it
liquefies and is then beaten to d stifr
foam. When in this frothy condition
it is introduced into the tire or saddle
and allowed to cool and partly solid
ify. The result is a light, spongy ma
terial of cellular formation, exceeding
ly light in weight and proof against
tacks, nails, glass and all puncturing
objects.

The trolley roads are asking permis-
sion to carry freight In some sec
tions they fairly gridiron the country
districts, and will no doubt become
important factors in bringing farm
products 'esh to the markets, collect
ing milk for city trade and for large
central creameries. With such possi-
bilities in view towns should in any
case compel new lines to widen mar
row highways, bridges, etc, over
which they pass. Freight traffic over
narrow roads would become an intol-
cradle nuisance to farmers travelling
the highways, while over wide roads
the hours devoted to freight might be
so arranged as to cause little incon-
yenience, says the American Agrlcul-
turist.

Mark Twain on the Stump.

Only once did Mark Twain appear in
public as a political speaker. AS a
conscientious Republican in his politi-
cal preferences Mr. Clements took an
active part in the presidential cam
paign Of 1880. While visiting in Ell
mira, N. Y. in the fall of that year, he
made a short speech one Saturday
night, introducing to a Republican
meeting General Hawley, of Connecti-
cut In the course of his remarks Mr..
Clemens said: Gen. Hawley is a men,
Der Of my church at Hartford, and the
author of Beautiful Snow Maybe he

Crows at the National Capital.

A well-known supreme court official
was busy at his desk the other day
when his attention was attracted by
the cawing of crows near the roof of
the capitol The cries We're so frequent
and loud that he concluded there
must be something unusual going on.
Looking out of the window, he saw
two big black fellows alight on the
roof near by and begin to claw in a
raln-spout They soon had nest of
young sparrows exposed, and it took
only a few moments to dispose of the
whole sparrow brood.-Washlngton

MENACE FROM lcEBERCS.
Frozen Wanderers Which Are the Great
eat of Commerce Destroyers.

eat of Commerce Destroyers.
The glory and the terror of the sea
is the iceberg under cover OF the
night or the fog its dread form steals
silently over the broad waste OF
waters menacing commerce and pre-
senting, at a safe distance and IN the
broad sunlight, a spectacle OF rare
beauty. There is short summer sea-
son In the far northland, and When
the suns rays are powerful enough
the rivers, which are immense glaciers.
begin to move toward the coast, and
reaching there, freeze the waters OF
the ocean far beyond the shore; then
as this mass of ice increases, its
weight above the water becomes too
great to be supported by the layers
underneath, and crash into the sea go
fragments of ice enormous in size.
Frozen to the bottom of these noun
tains of ice are rocks and large pieces
of earth torn from the river bottoms
and carried down to the sea. This
berg launching is accompanied by
laundering and splitting noises such
as never greeted any warship gliding
from the stays. Strong currents,
formed by the motion of the earth,
sGize these enormous frozen blocks
and hurry them southwark toward the
banks of Newfoundland. Hundreds
and hundreds of miles they travel, in
vading a region where icebergs are a
novelty, and where also they are a ter
ror to the crews and passengers of
vessels whose path they are likely to
cross. A collision with one of these
vast Accommodations of ice is certain
destruction to any ship that floats, and
during certain seasons the navigators
of the deep keep sharp lookout for
them, lest they encounter one in the
night
Many miles off the coast of New
foundland the bottom of the ocean
rises in n remarkable way and forms
comparatively shallow basin enor-
nous in extent and surrounded by water
five miles deep. This region is known
as the Newfoundland Banks, and is

ciless fogs and ice-clad brotherhood of

the warmer climate the action of the
sun and water upon them is remark
able, and does for them what the
sculptor's chisel does for the block of
marble. Out of shapeless masses ap-
pear forms of the finest architecture; a
drifting mountain careeEs, topples
over, and finally twists itself into a
beautiful cathedral or a many-turret-
ed fortress, set high upon an elevation
of clearest marble; vast interiors
formed by Icy arches springing from
great bits of n breaking berg; and all
these forms draped with rich traceries
of cream-white lace in designs un-
dreamed of. Then, too, the melting
ice on the crests of these bergs falls
down the slippery sides and into the
sea in streams and cascades; and,
strange as it seems, this water is al.
ways fresh, despite the surrounding
salt of the ocean.
Sometimes the government sends n
warship securing over the waters to
crush or blow up these great enemies
to navigation, but, despite this they
still stand very near the top as COM

A Model Village.

The Dalecarlian village of Orsa
seems to offer advantages as a place
of residence to peprsons of small in
comes. The municipality owns extern
sive forest lands, and by the judicious
sale of some of them the village has
a revenue of about $4,000 a year.
The inhabitants pay no taxes of any
kind. A first-rate education is pro-
vided for their children without the
cost of penny, and each village in
the district has its telephone, which
is open free to the public use.

Denver Republican: american sol
dicrs are less dependent upon their
officers than the men of any other
army, and in these days of open fight
ing success depends in a high degree
upon the individual ability of the sol
diers to do the right thing at the right
time. 1t is out of such men, when
promoted to commissions, that good
officers have frequently been made.
General Miles and General Chalfee are
not West Pointers, and yet the former
is commander of the entire army and
the latter is in command of the Amer
lean forces in China"

In the opinion of Department of
Agriculture experts it will be neces-
sary to educate the British to the use
of American sweet potatoes. To this
end officers Of the department advise
that small circulars, giving the va
rious recipes for cooking and serving
our sweet potatoes, be printed and
distributed i, England. 1t is thought
that a remunerative trade can be built
up with England for this product.

KILL ed BY BANDITS

One of the boldest hold-ups in the
history of the west took place recent
ly near Hugo, Col, in which William
J. Fay, prominent and wealthy resi-
dent of California, was killed while
resisting the masked robbers. The
hold-up occurred about l o'clock in
the morning. The train left Denver
early in the evening east bound and
at a place called Limon Junction two
masked men got on. When the train
was going at full speed they drew
their revolvers and ordered the con-
ductor to lead the way through the
coaches and wake the sleeping pas
sengers one at time, The frightened
passengers were made to hand over
their money and valuables, the con-
ductor holding the bag for the plum
der One of the passengers, William
]. Fay, would not submit so easily to
being robbed, and drawing his revol-
yer fired at the men. The shot was re-
turned, and Mr.. Fay fell dead, bull
let entering his mouth and passing
through his head. The bandits secur-
ed 500 in money and number OF
valuables. They then ordered the con-
ductor to stop the train and escaped.

keeping Yeast.

Any yeast of any kind should be
kept, when stored, at temperature as
low as possible above freezing. When
we remember that yeast is plant
and consider it as we would house
plant, we will not allow it to freeze
CT to be scalded. When we are keep
ing yeast we wish to prevent the plant
from growing and yet not injure it;
therefore we keep it dormant or at as
low a temperature without freezing
it as we can. When we wish the plant
to grow, to raise bread with 1t, we
raise the temperature around it to
about 9s degrees. or blood heat and
this starts it 10 growing rapidly, for.
like all lower forms Of vegetation, its
growth when once properly started is
very rapid. providing it is kept at an
evenly warm temperature. Yeast grows
rapidly in a room where the temper
sture is 50 or even 20 degrees, or much
less than blood heat.-N. Y. Tribune.
