Many farmers are very impatient to

as the snow disappears and they find
a few dry spots in the highway the
plow is brought out and started. The
soil being cold and wet, the upturned
furrow presents a smooth. glossy APP

not occur it will bake hard and firm,
requiring several harrowings to put it
into a proper condition for n seed bed.

but the soil at blowing is SO soft that
the horses at each step sink almost to

Story That Game TO Washington.
Washington, June 19.-Actual news
OF the situation in China was received
by the navy department yesterday in
two cablegrams, the contents of which
were made known as follows: 1.-The
department has received a cablegram
from Admiral Remey, at CaVite, dated
June Is, that informs the department
that Commander Tausslg cables that
the Taku forts at the mouth of the
river Pei fired Oh the foreign gun YES
sells and later surrendered to the allied
forces on the morning Of the 18th.
There was also one from TauSsig,
commanding the Yorktown, stating
that the British admiral was at Tien
TSin. The department instructed Ad-
miral Kempf to consult with the other
powers in taking all steps necessary to
protect all American interests
Gives Kempff Ample Power.
1t is explained that in the opinion Of
the authorities this order conferred
upon Admiral KemDff ample power to
seize forts, to fight, or to do anything,
in fact. on the sole condition that in
his judgment his acts should tend to
the protection Of American interests.
1t was learned at the British embassy
that there were two British admirals
in the Pei river efHo)-Admfral Sey
mOur and Admiral Bruce. Therefore
Taussig's reference to the arrival of the
British admiral at Tien Tsin does not
mean necessarily that Seymour has ne
turned with his foreign column.

Admiralty Weak ON Geography.


During the Boer war of 1880 the ad-
miralty was hopelessly ignorant of the
geography of South Africa.
The admiral in charge of the fleet at
Cape Town received strict orders that
he was not on any account to lombard
the town of Potchefstroom. Now, as
Potchefstroom is a good many hun
dred miles from the seacOast and lies
on the Moot river, which is barely 200
yards across and dry for three parts
of the year, this order was superfu-
GUS.
During the same period the fleet was
at Port Elizabeth, and the admiral
from that seaport By the next mail
he again sent dispatches, but happened
to head them Algoa bay.
The admiralty cabled out asking him
what business he had to change the
location of the fleet without instruc-
lions, sublimely ignorant of the fact
that Port Elizabeth and Algoa bay are
one and the same place.
By the way, the names AlgOa bay
and Delagoa bay are derived from the
outward and h0meward voyages of the
old East Indiamen who, on their vOy-
ages to Goa, in India, were wont to
call at Port Elizabeth on the outward
voyage and at Lourenco Marques on
the homeward voyage. Hence the
names Algoa Ito Goa and Delagoa
from Goa).-Stray Stories.

The sultan's Barbarous Capital.

European ladies constantly run away
with the idea that Constantinople is a
civilized town and act accordingly.
Then they are astonished when some
thing disagreeable happens, and con-
tinually one hears Of ladies being hus-
tied, pinched or kissed by Turkish SOL
diers. It must be remembered that the
soldiers are recruited from the widest
tribes ia Asia Minor, where woman is
considered an inferior creature, who
must give way to man. besides being
trained to avoid him on all possible oc-
caSiOnS
One can easily imagine that such a
soldier is: astonished to see a European
lady unveiled, boldly expecting him to
give way to her or at any rate not
avoiding him, and he naturally takes it
to be an advance on her part. Ladies
have often told me they have been
pushed by soldiers into the gutter, and
/ have nearly always found that it is
simply as I have explained, that mel

London, June 19.-Lord Roberts, ac-
cording to a Boer dispatch from Mach

suggesting disarmament and compii-
menting the bravery of the burghers.
1t was pointed out that the surrender
would be without diShonOr to the
burghers, and would prevent much suf-

days arnlistice in order to confer and
consider Lord Roberts consented to
five days Finally Botha declined to
accept the proposal and hostilities were

A FlSH-CATCHING FISH.
He Has a Mouth One-third the Size
of His Body

He Has a Mouth One-third the Size
of His Body.
Most remarkable of strange fishes is
the angler fish, whose very name seems
a paradox. The fishing fish is never
theless a reality and stern one to all
that approach those awful jaws of his.
With a body the color of mud he gen
orally lies in the shadow of some rock
on the bottom of the sea, waiting mo-
tionless for the approach of his prey.
He is provided with an odd kind of fin
just over the mouth. and this is held
out in front of him to give warning of
the coming of something to be swal-
lowed. One taken alive was expert
mented on, and it was found that if
this projecting fin was touched with
stick, even though the stick did not
come near the mouth. the jaws closed
convulsiyely. This shows that the fin,
by some provision of nature, closes the
jaws as soon as it is touched.
The mouth is tremendous, growing
to the width of a foot when the whole
fish is only three feet long. One of
these anglers was caught not long
since. and, though it was only % inches
long, a fish 10 inches long was found
sticking in it's throat. The angler is
provided with peculiar teeth set in
double or treble rows along the jaws
and at the entrance of the throat.
Some Of these teeth are a foot long.
He is not pretty fish to look at, but
he attends strictly to business and will
swallow anything that touches his
warning fin. whether it is meant for
food or not.
All kinds of things have been found
in the stomachs Of anglers, from bits
Of lead and stone to fish almost as large
as the angler itself. This is without
doubt one of the most peculiar and in
teresting fish in the whole ocean.-St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.

TEN DEAD AT A FIRE.
Six of the Victims Are Children and

New York, June 16-Two families
were nearly wiped out yesterday morn

Knowles and the heroine Mrs. Marion.
When the officer reached the Marion
apartments confusion of flame and
smoke burst into his face. In the
midst Of it all, with nightgoWns ablaZe
and their hair burning, four of the
children were tearing about the room,
shrieking in terrible agony. Mrs, Mar
ion huddled near the window. With
her bare arms wrapped about her
baby, she was gasping for air.
Three rushes were made into the
flames by the terrified woman, and
Margery, Frank, and Mamie were
brought to Knowles, after, he had
taken the baby. The Ulisters and
sears were swelling on his hands and
arms, but he. conquered his agony and
finished his work on the floor by finally
carrying the fainting form of the
courag eous mother down the frees
cape. A few moments afterward the
woman died She had literally sacri-
