The Power of the Fool.

A child was born one day
Whom God had blessed.
Fate chose him. as he lay
| Upon his mothers breast,
70 please the hearts Of men.
Through trying years he bravely wrought
And many hard, grim foe he fought
To find his ordered place, and when
Twas found he toiled through other years
And prayed for heavens aid,
And often shed despairing tears
Before his brush was laid
Upon the canvas that at last
Crowned all his efforts of the past.
Another child was born one day,
With little space between his eyes;
He grew and idled in the way,
With no desire to be wise,
No wish to stand among the great
But in his breast there burned the hate
Fools have for men who win the prizes Fate
BeStoWs on worth
Doomed from the moment of his birth
To drag among the crawling things Of
He saw no wonder in the autumn leaf, he
knew
Naught of the artists ecstacy nor tried
To learn the songs the wind sang as 1t
Among the golden sheaves the reapers tied
The careful work Of many years was done,
And Ipen beheld 1t and were full of awe;
A life's whole range was centred in that
Supreme creation, wherein neither Jaw
Nor lack was found-but even as they
gaZed
One with low, blank brow strobe forth
and raised
A cleaning blade,
And while they stood, COMPOUNDED and dis
mayed,
He cut the canvas down-The world with
vain regret
Beheld useless ruin where
The life work of genius had been set
Because fool had paused moment there.

MAXTMITF.

Maximite is the new explosive which
government for. use In it's big weapons
of war; and. according to Mr.. Howard,
Maxim its inventor, it is just about the
right thing. 1t was long the theory Of
inventors. says Mr.. Maxim, that high
explosives must of necessity be very
sensitive, and that it was waste Of
time to explore for one that would not
require a delicate mode of handling.
Yet this commonly accepted view
among the inventors did not deter some
from making continued experiments,
and neither did it satisfy the United
States government, which urged the in
ventors to redoubled efforts. What the
government sought for. says Mr..
Maxim, was an explosive which would
fulfill all. or as many as possible, of
the following conditions: In the first
place it must be perfectly stable, must
have a high explosive value and be suf-
ficently insensitive to stand, without
the least danger of premature explo-
sion the shock of acceleration in the
gun when fired from high power can
non. 1t also must not he too expen-
sive of manufacture in commercial
quantities sufficient to supply the
wants OF The government. 1t must be
hygroscopic-thati is to say, must not
absorb moisture from the air That
an explosive should possess all of these
requirements was sine qua non. 9th
erWse it would not have the least
chance of adoption because wet com
pressed gun cotton, which for long
time has been service high explosive

In addition to these ouali-
ties, the government wanted an expio-

RECRUITING TEXAS RANGERS.

The membership of the Texas Rang
ers has consisted always of those rest
less beings in whom the spirit of adven-
ture is the controlling motive. Most of
them have been graduates of that
school of courage, the cow puncher's
saddle. Some served their apprentice
ships as scouts and guides in the Indi-
an country; few are college men from
the east, who proved their staying and
fighting qualities on the plains before
joining the Rangers. No man who Is
not capable Of spending sixteen hours
out of the twenty-four in the saddle
could endure the hard riding that the
Rangers are compelled to undergo. No
man who was not a dead shot or who
would not face without fear the bust
ness end of a siX-shooter in the hands
of O. desperate would be considered for
a moment as a possible recruit.
The recruit is not subjected to any
examination as to his fitness beyond
that which the captain of the company
to which he applies may insist upon.
Preference is given, of course, to men
who are familiar with the country in
which the Rangers operate, but this is
not an essential requisite. II the re
cruit owns a plains hardened mount so
much the better, for the men are re-
quired to furnish their own horses and
outfits, only their arms, ammunition
and rations being supplied by the state.
With this equipment of cool daring,
ability and a good horse the
new conner enters the ranks. The skill

by the simple process OF pouring to
sJIidify on cooling, and which would
have fusion point sufficiently below
the danger point of explosion to render
the process perfectly safe.
Maximite is all this. and some more
1t has enormous explosive power, but
it cannot be exploded in any OF the
ordinary ways. 1t can safely be placed
in kettle over fire and melted like
so much wax If it should catch fire
it would simply burn slowly. Liquid
cast iron can be poured on it without
causing an explosion. In fact, it can
not be exploded by heat or sparks in
any manner. When melted and poured
into a shell it solidifies into a compact
mass and sets hard upon the walls of
the Drojectie When such a shell
strikes section oe armor- plate the
Maximite does not shift a particle, and
it is SO insensitive that it not only
STANDS the shock of penetration of the
thickest armor- plate, but it will
not explode even if the shell be
broken to pieces" In short, the only
thing that will explode a Maximite
shell is a peculiar decorating fuse,
which is the invention of an officer of
the United States army, and when 1t is
exploded it goes off with such terrible
violence that nothing can withstand it's
power.

United States soldier or sailor behind

mics to make themselves scarce.

4 E.dYORED NATION.

1t seems to be certain that though the
United States has an enormous wheat
crop this year a good price will be got
for it, From the beginning of the wheat
season the foreign reports regarding
the condition of this grain have been
unfavorable. Later advices prove that
all the big wheat producing countries
of Europe will have shorter crops for
1901 than for many years past Sudden
climatic changes practically ruined the
crop of Russia, while drought played
havoc with the crop of Austria Hun
gary. Destructive insects appeared in
both countries and added to the devas-
tation. There is considerable alarm In
France over the deficient wheat crop
there, and in addition to a pronounced
shortage the grain harvested Is very
inferior in quality. Wheat has risen
forty eight cents per one hundred kilo-
grams in France, and the price of a
quartern loaf of bread has already gone
from sixty-five confines to seventy
centimes. Estimates of the French
wheat crop put it at about 292, 314 900
bushels; others figure as small sup
ply as 1000 600 bushels, and deficien-
cy to come from abroad of 100 1000, coo
bushels.
The exports of wheat from this coun-
try during the next six months will be
large. Verify, this is a favored nation,
even if "the industrials' are weak

BIG QUARTERLY"
How it is Celebra ted by the Delaware
Negroes

How it is Celebrated by the Delaware
Negroes.
The Spectator has been visiting some
Delaware cousins and while he
was in the Diamond State big
Quarterly occurred. The Spectator
had never heard before of big
Quarterly" he confesses, and probably
the majority Of the world need the
explanation he received, which was
that the quarterly meeting of the
African Methodist Church. which falls
in August of each year, Is known as
big Quarterly" in this section of
country, and is kept as high festival
by the negroes. Their churches throw
all possible force and fervor into its
celebration, and hundreds of country
negroes pour into the town to attend
the meetings, which beginning on big
Quarterly Sunday last for ten days or
a fortnight. The whole thing has a
double interest first, because it is a
picturesque local affair, and second,
because it is rapidly passing away.
The whole town for a day before the
festival began, was flooded with
colored folk coming in from the coun-
try and from other towns on foot, by
train, or in wagons. The Spectator
noticed with much interest the old-time
types-bowed old men and wrinkled
women, with gray kinky hair and
quaint garb, queer pathetic turnouts
drawn by aged mules with harness
mended almost to the vanishing point,
venerable preachers wore canes and
spectacles and long, rusty frock-coats
and all the rest of it. big Quarterly
