Seven Chestnuts In a Burr,
ON the philadolnhlu Rncord

Z. w. Warner of Willamsport is the
owner of probably the oldest farm in Penn
sylvania- 1t is a chestnut farm, located in
the mountain district of northeast Iycom-
ing county near the Sullivan county line.
The trees. of which there are over 5000
are set In rows exactly as fruit trees are in
in an orchard. and Mr.. Warner gives them
as much-or more-attention as do the own
ers Of fruit trees. The original saplings or
sprouts were culed from a wide area of
chestnut thicket, trimmed into shape, then
grated with the American sweet chest
nut, native nut of Pennsylvania
The result has been marvellous This
year was the third bearing season for the
trees. and some of the nuts were aston
ishingly large, some of them measuring
more than an inch across and growing as
many as seven in a burr The flavor of
the nuts, it was feared, might be impaired
by their size, but thekernels are as fine
and sweet the choicest PENNSYLVANIA
chestnut picked up In the fields In order
TO prevent the trees from bearing too pro-
ILLEGALLY and thus endanger the growth of
the tree. Mr.. Warner went through his
orchard when the burrs began to form and
whipped Off at least one-half of the fruit
1t will be two or three years yet before
the trees will be permitted to give all their
strength to fruit. BY that time they will
have attained a good. rugged size, able to
withstand wind and to bear the weight of
the burrs. At the end Of that time too
Mr.. Warner expects that his novel farm
VIII be paying investment, as the fruit
from it can hardly be excelled In size,

GOuId's Yacht to BE Converted Into Il
GunbOat.

The New York Tribune OF today says: Gen
\. Bolet-Peraza, confidential agent in this
country of Venezuela, acting on instruc-
tons from President Cipriano Castro, has
purchased George J. Gould's steam yacht
Atalanta for that republic. She will be con-
verted into a gunboat. The negotiations
not even Consul General Gonzales was
aware yesterday that the deal had been
contaminated. The Ataanta is to cost Ven
ezuela Sl25.UD. 1t IS said that $4,000 of
this amount was paid on Friday.
The Colombian republic entered into nego-
tatiOns for the purchase of the Atalanta
from George J. Gould through the briggs
Seabury Gun and Ammunition Company
five months ago and paid $GU.UDO before it
actually possessed the yacht. Through some
hitch in the negotiations. according TO the
DrigSs-Seabury company, because the bal
ance OF the purchase price. $l2O.Voo, was
not paid in the time specified in the con-
tract, Mr.. Could regained possession of the
yacht.
Senior Emiliano IsaZa. the representa- tive
of the Colombian republic, is now suing the
Dr!sSs-Seaoury company to recover the 500
900 paid. alleging failure to keep the con-
tract their part.
That her most bitter enemy, Venezuela
has got possession of the coveted vessel
after herself spending $4,000 on il, will be
a hard blow TO Colombia. To what use
the Venezuelan government will put the At
beat does not appear. There has been i'll
feeling between the neighboring republics,
and 1t was said that Colombia wanted the
vessel to aid III war Venezuela This
story is diScredited here, the opinion being
that she was TO be used in operations
against rebels. 1t is thought that President
Castro wants the ATLANTA to form a part
of an increased navy.

TIMID LIONS.
FerOciOus Man-EaterS That Failed to
Work Properly.

From McClure's Magazine.
More animals are lost to the stage through
fear than through viciousness. The show
people dread d timd lion, tiger or leopard
lot only because in its panic it is likely to
In1ure the trainer, but because it is rnre-
liable, and may take fright and spoil per-
torrance at any moment from the slightest
causes. An incident at the Porte St Mar
tin Theater in Paris has become part of
the annals Of the show business. The chief
feature of the exhibition was turn con-
sisting of the casting Of d young woman,
securely bound into cage of lions her
aided as being the fiercest and most blood
thirsty of man-eaterS.
Unfortunately, the woman who had the
thinking part of the victim was taken
i'll, and substitute found in the wife
or one OF the trainers, herself a trainer of
some experience but without any ac-
qudlntance with these particular six lions.
As she was somewhat nervous she carried
small club ready for use should occasion
arise. Amid the GREATNESS silence of the
spectators, the ringmastcr explained the fe-
roclous nature of the lions and the terrible
FISK OF the woman, and she was thrust IN
at the cage door. In the excitement of the
occasion the door was nue securely shut
after her NO sooner she fariy in
side than the six monarchs of the jungle,
seeing that a strange person had been
forced upon them. raised a chorus of Shud-
dering terror, bolted for the cage door,
c!awed 1t open. and, with dragging tails
and cringins tanks, fled out through a rear
entrance and found refuge in a cellar
whence they were dislodged only after
great difficulty. 1t was week before the
ferocious man-eaters' were sufficiently
recovered from their terror to reappear in
public.

THE GLARS ILLNESS,
He Will Not he Safe Until He il Abso-
lutely Well.

From the New York Herald
With the news that the Car of Russia
has typhoid fever is coupled the statement
That the distinguished patient is doing as
well as might be expected. So far the tenn
perature has not been excessively high the
pulse has been reasonably slow and reg
uiar, and there has been little II any head
ache. Ali this gives a reasona BILE promise
that the course of the malady will be mild
and that ultimate recovery will be assured
In disease following a regular and ex-
tended course very much depends upon the
constitution of the patient as to the out
come. Even In the mildeSt case of this
particular fever the vital forces are quite
severely strained in fighting the weakening
processes of long-continued high tempera-
ture. increased heart action and deranged
nutrition. With the best of recoyeries the
sufferer usually comes out of the long
struggle emaciated and enfeebled and COM
monty requires an extended period of con-
Eaiescence before he is able to resume his
accustomed work
In the earlier dispatches there appeared
to he some confusion of statement in re
gard TO the possibility Of a supposed attack
OF influenza inducing one of typhoid fever
ms was an error on its face as the Two
maladies are entirely distinct are governed
by entirely different laws of propagation
and have no leading symptoms in common
save those of low fever and accompanying
lassltude. Indeed. it is quite possible thai
these Initiative symptoms were mistaken
Tor those of grip when they really belonged
to the fever in question.
IN taking chances with this insidsous,
tedlous and treacherous malady We must
recoilect that on the score of considerations
and their attendant dangers the patient can
never be considered safe until he is ahso-
iuleiy well. 1t Will be no wonder then, If
the temperature curves in the cars case
be watched from day to day with Incoming
interest and deep concern.

Messrs. Charles Maurice Smith and VIM.
Z. Ambrose. attorneys for Mrs. Rosa Eir-
gnia Cunningham, widow Of Policeman
William Cunningham, have applied to
the District Commissioners for recon-
sideration of the question of a pension for
their client. The matter was referred to
Maj. Sylvester. the chief of police who has
informed the Commissioners that the officer
retired April ID. 1891. for injury to
his left foot which incapacitated him for
duty, the examination revealing no other
stability or disease.
May 4, 1898. the retiring board, after hear
ing testimony with a view of determining
whether Mrs. Cunningham was entitled to
pension after her husbands death. re-
ported adversely, declaring that there was
no evidence of positive character that he
died from disease or injury received in the
service 1t therefore remains, thinks Maj.
Sylvester, for Mrs. Cunningham TO estab-
lsh by proper evidence, which would. he
explains, be medical. that her husband died
from such injury. If such evidence can be
produced. he states, 1t should be offered for
the consideration of the retiring board
himself, the accounting officer of the Dis
trict, and the Commissioners.
The substance of this report will be COM
municated to Mrs. Cunningham's attorneys.

Old Egyptian Quarries.


On the way to Phlae and. the head of tho

we come upon the ancient quarries which
supplied granite for the columns. statues
and obelisks throughout Egypt for MANY
centuries. An obelisk which We saw lice

length. and three sides have been carefully
cut, but for some unknown reason ii was
never separated entirely from the parent

1t was to have been reduced at the sides
1t is supposed that the stone was split from
its bed by drilling holes in the rock and fill
ing them with wooden wedges which were
afterWard saturated with water the swell
Ing wood furnishing the power From H.
lustratlonS in the temples, it Is clear that
these great monuments were fioated down
the river on fatboats and RATS and then
carried inland by artificial canals or drag
ged overland by thousands of slaves In
one of the tombs at Beni-Hassan is a pic
ture illustrating the process. The great
stone Is loaded upon a huge sled drawn by
a multitude of workmen. One man is en-
gagged in pouring water upon thG--unners
to prevent friction. Another stands at the
left of the statue and beats time that
the men may work in unison, while over
seers, provided with whips, urge the laborers
to their task. What king desired to -extri-
cate this block from the quarry, why il was
left here, what II was to commemorate, we
can never know. The riddle of the Sphinx
is solved, but the riddle of the obeIisk In
the quarry. will no doubt remain with US
forever.

He Scratched His Ticket.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean,
Much amusement was caused in one of
the polling places in the south end of Pull

had come there to vote. After giving his
name and residence he was handed ballot
and entered one of the booths.
1t was evident that much time had not
been spent In splitting the ticket for he

nance and self-confident air indicated that
he felt as if he had been loyal to his party
and had exercised his full right of citizen

was asked. somewhat patronizingly, by one
of the bystanders: well, Pat, and did
you vote for Mr.. Bryan"
Faith, and indeed 1 did, said Pat land

But are you quite sure you voted your
ticket correctly?" some one inquired.
And indeed l am said Pat. "Shure and

top of the republican ticket and scratch

After the roar that followed this an
nouncement had subsidized and Pat had been
given to understand that he had voted a

fitted when told by the judge that he could
not vote early and often in that box. 49,.

Our Japanese Students.

SFrorn the Ohio State Journal.
When we think of the tide of immigration
fc ating to our shores we usually overlook
the pIucky brainy little Japanese. who are
SO firmly srasping western civilization AMI
culture. They are not coming to at once
be gin labor. but they do come to work for
, educations. and succeed.
Education is relatively hard to get in
Japan, where wages are so low that a stu
dent cannot support himself and go to
school too
We find these ambitious. Studious Japa n
csc in nearly all of our great colleges, but
where they are particularly noticeable Is in
California. The public schools in San Fran
cisco and the two universities at Berkeley
and Palo Alto are free to them, and they
are taking advantage of the fact Many
of the upper-class Japanese who attend
these schools work servants in private
houses and hotels while preparing to take
their degrees
In 1890 there were only 1,223 japanese on
the whole Pacific coast; two years ago
there We're 5000 seeking education in Cali
fornia alone, 1857 arriving during 1892 and
1854 during the last fiscal year.
