Billy Edwards, the one time light

long and peaceful reign as house
detective at the Hoffman House in
New York. BE had the smoothest,
pieasantest way imaginable OF get
ting rid Of Objectionable persons.
His reputation as a great fighter
was SO well known that he simply
would not strike an ordinary man.
The writer saw well dressed
young negro begin to raise a dis
turbance at the Hoffman bar one
night because he could not get any
thing to drink.
Billy Edwards pushed his way
through the crowd and encountered
him as if by accident.
ooh, Mr.. Morgan, how do you
do!" said Billy, extending his hand.
"This is a great pleasure. I haven't
seen you in years. You must join
me in little drink. Let's sit down
at our ease"
The negro looked puzzled, put
away a roll Of bills he had been
flourishing, hooked his hand inside
of the arm Edwards offered and tod
died away in silence.

BRIDLEH.

Brides were in use in very dis
tant ages. Ancient Thessalian coins
often represent q horse with long
rein touching the ground. The
young Romans we're trained to ride
and mount unassisted, but the use
of the bride was known from the
first. According to Livy, Aulus
Cornelius in a battle with the FL
denae ordered tho Roman cavalry
to unbridle before charging, proba-
bly, to give them more weight.

Inquiries to be Made into Rice Cultivation

WASHINGTON, April 1G-Secrctary
Wilson has decided to send cut an ex.
pert to scour the rice growing ooun-
tries OF the world and thoroughly in
vest'gate important matters connected
with the industry. This mission.
which is t stretch into the civilized
and uncivilized parts Of the world.
probably will be entrusted to Prof.
Knapp, of Louisiana. who returned
about year ago from an official trip
or investigation in she orient. TIE
start will be made about next July.
IL is proposed to hunt out the rice
growing countries, ascertain what they
feed both to the beef animals and the
work teams, what rice can be grown
on highland that cannot be irrigated,
what legumes can be used for for
age Tor animals, used in the rice in
dustry and host of other kindred
questions.
Great SUCCESS in rice growing is re-
ported in the rice fields along the gulf
coast of Louisiana aud Texas, and
Secretary Wilson predicts that year
hence will witness the production in
the United States of all the rice re-
quired within the country. The rice
consumption per capita will increase
very materially, he says. The United
States is now exporting red rice and
other second-class rice, which makes
excellent food, to Puerto Rico. There
is good market for it there, although
the second-class rice heretofore had
been fed to animals or sold to brew
ers. Secretary Wilson believes that
the future will fnd this country in tho
first rank of rice growing countries and
the coming mission to the cast with q
view to gathering information on the
whole subject is expected to yield
good results.

AN OLD CUSTOM.

Once upon time Charles vi of
France gave masquerade ball, and
he and five courtiers took the part
of satyrs. To do this artistically
they were clothed in loose linen
habits, bcsmearetl with rosin and
then stuck all over with down. One
Of the company, in IL frolic, lighted
one Of the satyrs with torch, and
in consequence four. of them were
burned to death. This is supposed
to be the origin Of the tar and feath-
er custom.
