An Austrian Boys Luck.

A little Austrian boy recently met
with piece of luck. He lived in n
street in Budapest, and whenever the
Emperor Francis Joseph drove past on
his way to the station, the lad always
greeted his majesty by vigorously wav-
ing his hat. The Emperor noticed the
child. and whenever be was in the
Hungarian capital looked for his young
friend. This continued for quite six
years. until one day the boy was miss
ing from his usual post An hour
later n messenger from the Emperor
called at the house and inquired what
had become of him. On learning that
the lad. who was now IL years of age,
had been sent to schoc., the Emperor
promised to pay for his education and
afterward make an officer of him If
he were physically fit.

Schley's
Courage


Any event in the lives of Admiral
schley or Sampson which deals with
their physical courage in time of
great danger is Of interest Just at this
time when the controversy as to the
conduct of each at the memorable bat
tie of Santiago is raging. Attention
has been called by the dispute to a
magnificent act of Schley's-the rescu-
ing OF the survivors of the ill-fated
Greedy expedition in 1884. Though II
years have elapsed since Winfield Scott
Schley ventured into the solitudes Of
the vast arctic circle on a well-nigh
hopeless quest for the devoted band Of
explorers, whose fate had aroused the
sympathy of the world. the story of
the rescue yet remains one of the most
thrilling in the whole history OF arctic
exploration. Three years had passed
without a sound from Greely or his
men, and everybody knew that, II
alive. they must be in dire distress.
To Commander Schley. as he then
ranked, the charge of the relief squad
ron was intrusted. and such was the
confidence reposed in him by his su
'periors that Senator Chandler. then
secretary Of the navy. declined to give

Ouakers Dying ON.

Recent reports from the various
yearly meetings or conventions of
Friends indicate that this organiza-
tion is in danger of disappearing.
Thirteen yearly meetings report 924
deaths and 772 births, n net loss of
152. This loss occurs in all the meet
ings but three-in Ohio, where the
births exceed the deaths by one; in
Kansas, where the births are one-half
more numerous that the deaths, and in
Oregon, where they are twice as nu-
merous, though the meeting itself is
small. In ten eastern meetings the eN-
cess of deaths was 232. This falling
off is ascribed in part to the fact that
the younger members of the society
are leaving it and entering other COM
munions. This dark outlook for the
society is affected only in degree by
slight increase in its membership in
England to II total of 15,S36. The
great bulk of the denomination is in
this country, the number in 1891 being
sc-pe 81, 900. There We're in Ireland at

THRIvEs IN A DROUGHT.

Now Cereal which May Prove God
send to Western Farmers.
The drought and its alarming effects
on the great wheat lands of the United
States have caused the department OF
agriculture to hasten the publication Of
report which it has been preparing
for some time on a new wheat which
fourishes in dry lands. 1t needs no
rain to speak of and will be a godsend
to the farmers of the semi-arid lands,
while 1t should prove also to be the
means of converting the dry lands of
the Great Plains into wheat growing
regions. During the past few years
much interest has been awakened in
the subject of crops adapted to semi
arid districts. The new cereal is known
as macaroni wheat and may be grown
protitably on the plains of the United
States far beyond the Tooth meridian.
Macaroni wheat differs radically
from the ordinary bread wheats, and
in the field looks more like barley than
wheat. The heads are fiat, compressed
and bearded, the boards often being
black; the chaff is usually golden yell
low, but sometimes black; and the
6idihS are idi &c, AdEi, yel!OWlSn
white and clear, or, in wheats of the
best quality. sometimes translucent
The quality and quantity of the gluten
make them exceedingly valuable for
making macaroni. They are extremely
resistant to drought and resist the at
tacks of leaf rust and smuts to an un-
usual degree.
Macaroni wheat not only can be
grown in dry districts, but actually
must be grown there to produce the
best quality of grain. 1t thrives best
with n minimum of about 10 inches an
nual rainfall. the drier the season the
better, provided the rain falls at the
proper time and the soil is of the right
kind.

QUICK CHANGE FROM SAVAGE TO
MISSIONARY.
Transformation Wrought in Dusky
Native of Africa's Forests-Comes to
America, Receives Education and Goes
Back to Native Haunts.

Who can say that the days Of mir
acles are ended when such transforma-
tions are not only possible. but are ac-
tually effected. as have been seen in
the case of Wesley Symgrana Pittman,
young colored man. who sailed from
New York for Africa. where he is to
engage in missionary work? says Les
lies Weekly. Pittman is a native OF
the Cola tribe. of central Africa, a peo-
pie still in savagery. Seven years ago
he made his way out from his native
village to Monrovia, a distance of 500
miles. being prompted to this journey
by stories he had heard from older
men of his tribe concerning the big
Water" and the white Men," He ar
rived at Monrovia in a state of nudity
There he fell into the hands of DR..
Pittman, white missionary, who
clothed him and taught him to read
the New Testament. A little later,
Bishop Turner, of the A. NJ. E. church.
visited Monroyia on a mission tour,
and when the Cola lad saw him he
ran. fell down in the sand and clung
to the good bishops legs. declaring
that he had seen him years before in
his native wilds. Bishop Turner be-
came interested in the lad. had him
brought to America and sent to school
at Normal. Alabama, under the tute-
lage of Prof. w. NJ. Councill The boy
proved an apt, Industrious and ambi-
tious student. He rose rapidly in his
studies and gained the love and esteem
of his associates and teachers. Shortly
after his arrival at Normal some one
gave him $1.50. He cautiously handled
this capital in buying and peddling
peanuts. apples. ETC.. on the campus.
