One of Natures Wonders.

At the sacred village Of Totatri,
about 40 miles from Tinnevelly, India,
there is one of the most wonderful nat.
ural curiosities in the world. 1t is an
oil we'll containing ineXhaustible guam
titles of the liquid. The well or spring
is situated within the celebrated tenn
pie of Narayan, said to be about the
largest sacred ediflce in India. AT
Baku, in the southeastern part of eau
casia, there are also wonderful oil
wells that spout petroleum high into
the air. In September, 1886, a we'll
tapped in the ordinary manner began
to spout with such extraordinary force
that 1t dcluged the whole district. For
eight days the outflow continued. final
ly reaching an output Of 1000 tons.
Another fountain broke out in March,
1887, and rose to height Of $50 feet,
leaving an enormous petroleum lake.

"Perhaps, then, you have sprained
your ankle, sir?"
With painful slowness the old mall
lifted his pet leg in both hands, set il
carefully on the floor, rose slowly from
his chair and, looking down upon the
unfortunate youth with mingled pity
and wrath, burst forth in the sublimity
of rage:

FARMING IN PORTO RICO.
Expert Reports That the Island Is
Best Adapted to Fruit and Truck.


Professor S. A. Knapp of Louisiana,
who was sent as official expert by the
department of agriculture to examine
the agricultural resources and possible
ties of Porto Rico and to arrange for
the establishment there of one or more
agricultural experiment stations. re-
ports earnestly against any attempt to
increase the area in sugar cane in the
island as greatly against the interest OF
the Porto Ricans, says a New Orleans
dispatch to the New York Sun. 1t
would tend he says, to drive many or
them out of the country. Grazing Is
equally out Of the question. as the
dense population of the island would
be out of employment should the lands
be given over to grass. Coffee, he
thinks, can be cultivated with success.
as the coffee lands In the main are too
steep to be cultivated with success in
general crops, but the best prospect In
the island is for the raising of fruits
and nuts, particularly pineapples,
oranges and cocoanuts, vegetables,
poultry, eggs and truck farming Of a
general character. There is an almost
complete absence Of vegetables. and
those produced are Of small size and in
ferior character.
Chickens cost from 40 to Is cents
each, eggs 36 cents dozen and are on
ly half the size Of American eggs. Pro
fessor Knapp thinks there are fine op-
portunitics In all these newer farming
industries and that notwithstanding
the crowded condition of the country
Americans would do we'll there with
small farms raising fruit, vegetables,
poultry. etc, near the large towns.
Land can be bought there at from So to

THE TIME I'VE LOST IN woolNe.

The time I've lost in wooing,
In watching and pursuing
The light that lies
In woman's eyes
Has been my hearts undoing.
Though wisdom oft has sought me,
scorned the lore she taught me;
My only books
We're woman's looks,
And folly's all they've taught me.
Her smile when beauty granted
hung with gaze enchanted.
Like him. the sprite,
Whom maids by night
Oft meet in glen that S haunted.
Like him, too, beauty won me,
But willie her eyes were on me,
If once their ray
Was turned away,
Oh, winds could not outrun mel
And are these follies going7
And is my proud heart growing
Too cold or wise
For brilliant eyes
Again to set it glowing?
No, vain, alas, the endeavor
From bonds so sweet to sever;
Poor VISIONS chance
Against a glance
Is now as weak as ever.

BIG CATTLE SHIPMENTS.
Ing Bu.inesa Upon y Greater Scale
Than Ever Before.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept 17.-Pur.
chases of stockers and feeders at the
Kansas City stock yards last week
by countrymen and cattle feeders
have been extremely heavy for this
season of the year and are almost
without a parallel. Thousands OF
head of cattle went hack to the coun-
try during the first four days of the
week, and the shipments for the week
will foot up to about $4,000 head.
That the farmers and cattle feeders
throughout the west intend to EN-
bark into the stock raising business
upon greater scale than ever before
has been evidenced by the immense
number of cattle that have gone back
to the country points from Missouri
river markets in the past few weeks,
the larger part of which have been
from the Kansas City market.
