He Bought a Section.

A Pittsburger who has money to
spare had to go east on short notice.
He is a man given to exclusiveness,
and he detests travelling in a public
conveyance because he is thrown in
with SO many persons of whom he
knows nothing. When he does take a
trip, he takes stateroom wherever he
can get it, or, failing in that, if his
business is urgent, he takes a section
in the sleeping car. He had little time
to make arrangements last week, but
his first thought was of stateroom.
He called one Of the employees and
hurried him to the ticket office. /.
Get a stateroom, if you can," he
said, "and, if you cannot, get section.
You know what section 'is-two
berths."
eyes, sir" replied the man as he
started off.
He returned soon with the informa-
ton that there wasn't stateroom to
be had on the train.
But l got two berths for you, sir,'
he said, handing out two tickets.
He nearly lost his job when his en-
ployer examined the tickets and found
one for upper 3" and the other for
upper s. "-Pittsburg News.

Turtles Trained to Eight.

You want to go to China to see ami
NAL fighting reduced to science.
There are hundreds of young men in
the larger cities there who make liv-
ing by training animals to fight and in
exhibiting their savage qualities to in
terested audiences. They catch both
mud and swapping turtles, feed them
on raw meat and some sort of drug
that warns them up, and at the end Of
six months they become savage enough
to fight tiger The jaws and teeth
are filed and sandpapered until the
mouth becomes dangerous thing to
go near. The turtle is tantalized each
day with a piece of wood OF a bunch of
cotton until its temper reaches a white
heat. When confronted with another
turtle that has been trained and badg-
cred in the same way. they go for each
other with distended jaws, and there is
sure to be fight to finish.
They have each been starved for a
week. Each is handled by his owner
who has leased it to the killing point
The two turtles are then placed in a
small ring, and only one comes out
alive. The fight lasts from one to ten
hours, and death generally comes only
when one of them has secured throat
hold on his doomed antagonist Cleve-

Crabs In oysters.

''The demand for that little southern
delicacy, the oyster crab, is always
larger than the supply, and have all
I can do to obtain the so or 60 gallons
which are daily required for favoring
stews and making omelets in the lead

in New York to Washington Star

contain the little dainties, so l am
obliged to buy them from the oyster
shuckers along the York, Rappahan-
mock and otEer southern rivers. The
Chesapeake bay shore oystermen send
us some also.
''The little crab found in the oyster
is not, as commonly supposed by two
thirds of the oyster eating community,
the young of the blue crab, but is a
distinct species. 1t is messmate of

being therefore a benefit instead of a
detriment to the latter. In return for
the oysters kindness in protecting it
against it's enemies the little crab
catches and brushes food which in its
entire state could not be taken by the

Accommodating Diseases

Perhaps the record for school attend
ance belongs to a Walworth lad named
Thomas Ward, who was never absent
or late during his II years of school
life, beginning with his fourth year.
The local mealber of the school board
for London tells the story that when
the proud boy received the attendance
medal for the eleventh year, which
had to be specially struck to meet his
case, the mother was questioned as to
how her boy had been able to make
so remarkable record.
Has he had the usual children's
complaints?" she was asked.

INTEREST IS LESS.
Money Lenders Receive Lower Re
wards for Capital Than Ever
Before.

'sOur industrial and agricultural con-
ditions are more promising than they
have been for many years: probably
more so than they have ever been.
Prosperity abounds everywhere
throughout the republic. Irejoice that
the southern as we'll as the northern
states are enjoying a full share of
these improved national conditions.
and that all are contributing so largely
to our remarka bic industrial develop
ment.' -William Mckinley.
1t is rarely that a paragraph as strlk-
ing as this has been written by The head
of the government. The money lender
receives lower rewards for his capital
than if it We're invested in actual bust
ness. The rates of interest are lower
than they have ever been in this coun-
try, while those things which are pro
duced on the farm and in the workshop
and the labor producing them have adj
vanced in value" Perhaps never be
fore was the chief magistrate of an adj
ministration able to make such re-
port of the success of the policy for
which he was as man. magistrate and
statesman so largely responsible.

Our Financial Strength

AS visible evidence of the finan-
cial strength OF this country. which
accounts for the fact that the credit
of the United States government is
higher than that of any country. it
may be stated that on September l.,
1900, there was in the treasury bal
ance Sl35, 10000 gold in addition to
the gold reserve of $50, 100000 and
the volume of our currency is great
err per capita than it has ever been.
1t was S2l.1O in 1896. 1t has increased
to $26.50 on July /, 1900, and S26.S5 on
September l, 1900. Our total money
on July /. 1896, was S1.50G, 134. 500; on
July !, 1900, it was S2.O62, 425.4 400. and
So ,096. $50. o-i2 on September 1, 1900.
The splendor of these figures startle
the world. The success of the admin
istraticn is no less striking.

Slow Growth of Arkansas.

The slow growth Of the population OF
Arkansas affords some food for
thought. The population in 1900 is
1.@:l 564. as compared with 1.12s. 20 in
1890. an increase of only 1925 per cent.
in the decade The rate of increase is
only 1wo-afths of the rate from 1880
to 1890. when it WAS 40.5S per cent.
and less than fourth of what it was
from 1870 to 1850 when it was G5.G5
per cent. Prior to the civil war the
population more than doubled every
ten years. The state plainly needs re-
juyenation. education. manufacturing
and energy. The days Of the Jones
regime should be ended.
