Much Abbreviated.

of paper from his pocket. looked at it,
knitted his brows, shook his head, put

Protection from Hail.

The plan of protecting vineyards
from the rayages of hailstorms seems
to have been successful in part only, if
at all, in France and Italy. Some ex-
periments have been made in both
countries, but the inference drawn up
to this time seems to be that whole
parks of artillery containing many
guns of large caliber will be needed if
reasonable security against hail is to
be insured. And it is not altogether
certain as yet that even if hundreds of
sixteen-inch guns were to be discharg-
ed at short intervals the protection
would be complete. The bombardment
of the heavens cannot yet be considered
effectual,

A Horrid Mean Thing.

They sat In swing, half-hidden by
the fragrant shrubbery of an east end
lawn. She was trying to make him
jealous, which he had penetration
enough to desery and experience
enough with her sex to remain provok-
ingly calm.
All the rapturous adjectives Of her
high-school vocabulary were pressed
into praise Of rival, says the Mem
phis Scimitar.
'He is just the most perfectly lovely
man l ever met" she fervently de
claimed, clasping her hands above her
heart and lifting her lustrous orbs
moonward.
"He must be bird" he suggested
nonchalantly.
"Such adorable eyes; such low, mu.
steal voice, as full of soul as the muir.
mur of meadow brook. And, oh! he
sings diyinely."
Sorry l never met your friend" he
said in tone irritatingly practical, &C
companied with yawn artistically
audible.
"Oh, do SO want you to meet him
know you will like him. He is fond
Of poetry and music, and he drives the
loyeliest horses"
"Eh! Whom does he drive for?"
And few minutes later the swing
swung emptily.

Convincing.

The methods employed by ex-Gov.
Throckmorton of Texas to make clear
the claims Of his clients were perhaps
unlike those of any other lawyer, but
they often carried conviction with
them.
At one time he was defending a man
who was on trial for murder in Gaines
vile, Texas. He desired to make it
plain to the jury that the man whom his
client killed, although in his shirt
sleeves and without a pistol-pocket,
might have been well-armed.
"Can you see any signs Of arms about
mer demanded the General, taking Off
his coat, and standing before the ju-
rors.
They shook their heads.
"Watch me!n he said, dramatically,
and with that he proceeded to draw a
pistol from under each arm, one from
each boot leg, and from the back of his
neck bowie-knife of most sinister
aspect.

A new and interesting amusement
for young people is what is known as
''dot-drawing." This Is best done on
a slate, on which dots have been lightly
drilled with the point of knife blade.
There should be a square of about 25
dots each way, and they should be in
perfectly even and regular rows. This
will give enough room for almost any
kind of drawing. The advantage in
having the dots on q slate consists in
the ease with which lines may be eras-
ed, if necessary. during the work. with
out disturbing the dots; on paper, it
would be much more difficult.
Dot-drawing may be played as a
game. A subject having been selected,
the starter begins anywhere on the
edge Of the square. and draws line
from one dot to another. The next
player takes up the line where the first
one left off, and draws to another dot
and so on, until the slate comes back to
the starter, who continues the work

FIRST AND LAST lNDocRAT.
Late Senator Kyle of South Dakota al
the Word He Coined.

Late Senator Kyle of South Dakota and
the Word He Coined.
The late Senator Kyle of South Da-
kota, says the New York Sun, was edu-
Gated in three States for three differ
ent professionalism civil engineer in
Illinois, for lawyer in Ohio, of which
State he was a native, and for a clergy
man in Pennsylvania.
When elected to the United States
Senate from South Dakota, in 1891,
he owed his success to a fusion be-
tween Populists and Democrats. On
the first ballot DR.. Kyle, who was a
member of the Legislature, did not re
.ceive single vote from his associates,
and after the thirteenth ballot the few
supporters he had had on every ballot
after the second deserted him for other
candidates. 1t was not until the thir-
ty-ninth ballot that the hopelessness of
other candidates made possible the
choice of DR.. Kyle, and his name was
agreed to as a compromise.
When it became necessary, through
the requirements of the Congressional
directory, to supply political designa-
ficulty was encountered. He was not
Populist, and Populist votes did not
elect him. He was not a Democrat,
but Democratic votes in the Legislature
secured his election. He had received
some Republican support, too, and his
rrar, nv.at aIt I,
course in the Senate showed, was to-
ward the Republican party, of which
originally he had been a member.
As there appeared to be no way for
DR.. Kyle's partisans to arrange the
matter, it was left for determination
to the candidate himself, and his choice
Of party designation was original. He
described himself as an Indocrat. Thai
is, he was an Independent and Demo
crat-a little of each.
This word, awkward but novel, gain
ed ten years ago some political celeb
rity. Sundry candidates for elective
office in the West described themselves
as Indocrats, and the establishment Of
an Indocratic party was seriously pro
posed. But no recruits to it were gain
ed, and DR.. Kyle remained the last, al
he was the first, conspicuous Indocrat
either In the Senate or in the House o.
Representatives.
Senator Kyle drifted away from hi
former Populist associates, and whe1
reelected to the Senate in 1897 it wa
by Republican votes chiefly.

erature and customs He reads the
newspapers religiously and has ar in
innate acquaintance with the topics of
the day. He is fond of travel and likes
to meet all kinds of people. He sees
everybody who calls toysee him at the
legation no matter how unimportant
the person or trifing the errand.
Physically, heis of medium height and
medium build and clothed with mus
cles worthy Of an athlete. There are
few women who would not envy him
the perfect teeth, white, hard and
small, which he displays as often as he
smiles. He is graceful in his move
ments and carries himself always with
dignity that is enhanced by his flow
/ ing robes of silk. His manner of life
to all outward appearances is that of
any well-born American. There is
hardly an oriental suggestion in the
furnishings of his Washington home.
Madame WI, whom he married twenty
years ago in China and who looks for
all the world as if she had stepped out
of Chinese picture, pays, calls and
receives visits as regularly as any other
woman of her station. She attends the
theater with him and frequents public
places. His S-year-oId boy plays with
American youngsters and is getting
an American education He goes to
the public schools and beats all the
other children in their studies.
Minister WI has been in the highest
sense an ambassador to the American
people. Not since the time when James
Russell Lowell found his way to the
hearts of the people of England and
gave to our cousins across the sea
taste of the culture and refinement of
American life, of which they had hith-
erto had a crude conception, has any
diplomatic representative of any gov
ernment fulfilled quite the same kind
of mission that has fallen to the lot
of Minister WI during his residence in
| the United States.
Up to the time of the arrival of Min
lister WI, China was an undiscovered
country American public opinion in
its conception of the Chinese character
wavered between the cynicism Of Bret
hdFl0 anu Llie VI uldilly VI DeuulS
Kearney The "heathen Chinee" was
either person of subtle intellect to be
avoided, or an obnoxious interloper to
be stoned and spat upon. 1t has been
the fortune of Minister WI to convey
to the American people an entirely new
idea of his countrymen. In his own
personality he has contributed a new
type, which, through his actions and
utterances, the American people are
about ready to accept as the true type
of nationality hitherto inadequateIy
understood.
Minister WI is so years old and re-
ceived his education in England, where
he was admitted to the bar. He was
the first Chinese lawyer ever admitted
to practice before the English bar in
Hong Kong.

theme, 1--WE have turned every one to
