The Elusive Jewel.

1t was an Irishman who said, while
crowding his way through an excur-
sion throng, with his wearied family
in his wake. after a day Of tiresome
picnicking, I'VE could be happy but for
our pleasures" And, truly, the para
dox is not without its lesson. Max
O'Rell, thought the Englishman took
his pleasures with entirely too much
his criticism in scope Of comprehen-
siveness. Most of us are DER solemn
at our fun-making. Is it not princi
pie of philosophy advanced by Mills
that happiness is not in the seeking
but the acceptance of joy. He is most
content, and, therefore, most pleasured,
who, without specific purpose of hav-
ing a good time, has 1t in serene salts
faction of daily existence.
This thought is suggestion of the
summer outing season. 1t has grown
to a custom that all who can do so set
apart a certain period of the heated
term to be devoted exclusively to
pleasuring. The duration of time and
extensiveness of travel with attending
details of luxury or display, is regu-
lated upon a sliding scale of financial
resources. He who can not go away
for weeks, some for only days and
others yet for an excursion outing. a
days picnicking, as did the Irishman.
All are seeking pleasure recreation and
rest. All find worry, dissatisfaction
and weariness. Not one of them but is
glad to get back to home and occupa-
tion.
OF course, it is too broad PROPOSE
lion to declare there is no pleasure in
pleasuring. But that 1t is unalloyed,
none will maintain. That the vacation
life is as unsatisfactory as the work-a-
day existence in realization of happi-
ness sought seems true. That the
quieter joys of home and employment
are best, many will acknowledge. The
secret OF happiness is locked in box
of mystery and the key is lost. But in
occupation that holds the mind from
itself and surroundings Is nearest solu-
ton. Evidently, happiness is not found
in the purposeful seeking of 1t. nor Is
! pleasure made captive through open
pursuit.-Commercia. Tribune.

A WAR COLLEGE.
Brig. Gen. Ludlow Goes to Europe to

Brig. Gen. William Ludlow, Mrs. Lud-

States. The general is president OF the
board of war college, and on his return

to be gone until the middle of Septem-
Der. shall spend one week in London
and then go to Berlin, where much of
my time will be spent. On my return
will visit Paris. While In Berlin Will

construction, where the plans will be
accessible in the course of the next
month. Bidders will be permitted to
furnish their own plans, with propo-
sails. for the construction OF the ships ac-
cording to their own designs. II prob
ably will take four or five weeks to ex-
anime the bidders designs and TO de-
termine whether those propositions
will furnish better ships than the de-
partmental plans. Not more than two
of the vessels may be built at one yard,
or by one contracting party, and two

Pacific coast firms, provided the cost of
construction does not exceed four per-

INVOLVES A PRETTY ROMANCE
Interesting History Connected with
the spaidinH-Maysr
Wedding.

There, Is said to be a pretty romance
in the. marriage Of A. G.. Spalding and
Mrs. Elizabeth Mayer in San Diego,
Cal, the other day.
1t goes back to the time when he,
u young man, first pitched for the
Forest City baseball team of Rockford.
That was in 1868. There he met the
young girl who afterward became Mrs.
Mayer, and they fell In love. Both
were In their teens, but they became
engaged. fixing the time for the we'd
ding when Spalding should have
enough money to support wife.
But there came a lovers quarrel, and
Spalding left Rockford to go to Boston,
where. for four years his team won the
National association championship
He married and she married. Less
than two years ago his wife died. Mrs.
Mayer had become widow several
years before. A few weeks ago Mrs
Mayer went to San Francisco with an
invalid sister. Mr.. Spalding was there
on business, they met for the first time
in many years and the old fame was
rekindled

IMMENSE CONTRACTS.
To Be Let in Connection with Com
pletion of Chinese Railroad.
Russian Financier, Adolf Rothstein,
Intimates That S4O,OOO,OOo
worth of Work VIII Come
to United states.

Adolf Rothstein, the Russian finan-
cier, before sailing for Europe said of
the Chinese Eastern railroad:
"Up to the present we have expend-
ed some $4,000, 900, but before COM
pietion an additional $l00,0O0,0oO will
de afisbursed. The road will not be
COMPLETED for, l should say, quite is
months, as we find we shalt have to
bore a tunnel some four and half
miles long on the Russian side OF Har-
bin, the headquarters of the railroad.
The benefits which American manu-
facturers will derive in the shape OF
contracts viii be most important. The
proposal for the awarding~of the im-
mense contracts for material, etc, have
to be first submitted to the Russian
government, as II has guaranteed the
payment Of interest on the bonds OF the
road. Mr.. Witte, the minister OF
finance, has assured TIE, however, that
he will place no obstacle in the way
of contracts being sent to the United
States, which, in diplomatic language,
1 take to mean that he might OBJ
ect to the filling Of orders In other
foreign countries, i am therefore safe
In stating that possibly everything re-
quired outside Russia will be purchased
in this county, . 1t is hard; Mt the pres
ent stage to. arrive at other than ap-
proximate figures Of what The material
and rolling stock contracts for the
Chinese Eastern railroad will amount
10, but consider that they will reach
an aggregate OF about S4O,OOO,0OO |
may also state that as the cars gov
ernment is extremely friendly to the
United States 1t may be counted on
as a certainty that In the many com
mercal undertakings-both railroad
and ndustrial-whch Russia Is now
becoming interested in preference will
be given American manufacturers for
the supply OF requisite material, etc"
Besides his railroad enterprise. Mr..
Rothstein has secured a concession
from the Russian government for the
working of gold regions, situated
about 100 miles north of the city of
Viadivostock, in the Primorsk, state
of Siberia. 'Since | have been here,
he said, IL have received two cables
informing me OF additional rich dis
coveries of gold. Later on American
capital will be brought into the scheme
lnd. Of course, all the machinery will
be purchased in the United States"

wheat.
About sixty differently named sorts
of wheat are annually grown in com
parative tests at the Ohio Experiment
Station. In this test the different var
ieties are grown on plots OF one-tenth
acre, the plots being arranged SO that
standard variety, Penqute's Velvet
Chaff, appears on every third plot in
the series, and in computing the results
the yield of a given variety is compar-
ed with that of the two plots of Velvet
Chaff between which it grew.
Tshe.taeatment of the crop is as near
ly tinif5fm for all varieties as possible
The land Mas selected in the first place
for its apparent uniformity; tile
drain is laid at one side of every plot;
the blowing is done across the plots;
all are manured alike with barnyard
manure distributed by a manure
spreader, which Is also driven across
the plots, thus giving no opportunity
for differences in time of, plowlng or
manner of manuring to effect the yield,
and the greatest possible care is taken
in seeding, harvesting and threshing.
Below are the general results of this
test for the seven years, 1898 to 1S99
inclusive.
The followinsg sorts have exceeded
the Velvet Chaff in yield: Poole and
Mealy by an average of more than four
bushels per acre each; Red Russian by
nearly four bushels; Niger, Early
Ripe, Currell's Prolific, Gypsy and
Egyptian by two or three bushels;
Mediterranean, New Monarch and
Democrat by one to two bushels, and
Bearded Monarch, Valley, Deitz, Leb-
anon and Hickman by less than one
bushel each.
OF the sorts which have fallen be-
low Velvet Chaff in average yield are
Jones' Winter Fife, which has averag-
ed more than three bushels less;
Thesis and Silver Chaff, between two
and three bushels less; Royal Austral-
ion Cor Clawson), Early Red Clawson,
Yellow Gypsy, Missouri Blue Stem.
New Longberry, Leigh and Martins
Amber between one and two bushels
less, and Fulcaster, Hindostan and
Early White Leader, whose average
yield has been less than bushel be-
low that of Velvet Chaff.
These tests have been made on a
rather thin, somewhat sandy clay. On
gravelly loans the Valley has made a
relatively larger yield than quoted
above.
No variety has proved exempt from
attack by the Hession fly, but Mealy
Mediterranean, Fulcaster and Clawson
seem to suffer less from the fall attack
of this insect than most other sorts.
The Ohio Station has never succeed
ed in growing spring wheat.
