General Fohn (. Breckfnrdge was prince among lis fellows the hand semest man in all Kentucky, which is saying q great deal Though regarded as ;ln alisto"rat, he was very popular with the masses of the people. for he had the most winning manners of any statesman of his time and he needed , all the methods of elccti0necrfng. for the district which he three times rep resented ill congress was the old Ash land district educated in Nhig prin- ciples by Henry Clay. Thomas r. Mar. shall, Richard II. Menifec and others of shining talents. It was normally Whis@iSh by about | thousand ma. .jor- ity. Nevertheless General Brtckin1.idge always managed to carry it against the strongest men the Wings could put up
 Dancing For Votes.
 The toughest game the general ever tackled was old Governor Bob I4ctcher Il veteran of tine huStingS. The dis tlict then extended into the mountains They were up there campaigning to- @ether, as Was the custom in those good old days. Among BreckinlIges many accomplishments W;s that of be- ing an excellent fiddler Bob Taylor was not the first man that tiddlpd him self into congress. Breckinrdge per formed that caper nearly half a cen tury before Taylor did it. and some body else may have preceded Breck in ridge at that game. However that may be. the general took his fiddle to the mountains with him. and he would fiddle awhile fer the dancers between speeches. varying the sport by dancing with the pretty mountain lasSieS while some mountaneer played on his fiddle, for even playing on his fiddle had come to be considered an honor. N'iih his speeches, his tiddling and his daroins he Nas stealing all the hearts and votes in the mountains from Gov erIlor Bob, who saw that something deSEer Htr had to he doHe CT he was q gone "a aWnskin.

Old Dr. Whinn's Dernier Resort.

Judge COoney does not believe much in the perfection of human govern mentS In talking on this subject one day he said: The more l see of the operations of political governments and the laws that are made for them the more l am reminded of a big bot tie that always sat upon the shelf in 1 the office of old Dr. Whim. Dr. Whim l practiced medicine in a country town on the Missouri river. It was a rule with him never to waste anything. and 1 therefore when any prescription or l compound remained untaken after his | patients died or recovered he would empty it into that bottle until it became l pound that no theory could classify or science a,ialyZe. \ young medical stu dent who was studying in his office asked him the reason for it. The doe tel hesitated d little and then replied 1 tlat in ordinary cases he knew what
 to do. but there were instances when all his medical skill failed him and that at such times, when hc was com pletely fioorfd with doubt. it was his custom to resort to that biz bottle. and
 With a dose from it he left his patient
 to nature and accident to accomplish a
 cure, and will you believe it.. hc add ed, my most brilliant successes have
 resulted from it:'" CHAMP CLARK.

JapaDese Swords.

The blades Of Japanese sabers are
formed of q metal prepared from mag
aetic iron ores and ferruginous sand. The
steel is produced in the form of thin lami-
aae, and the workman commences by fix
ing one of these to the end of an iron
rod, which serves as a handle. To this
are soldered other sheets until the mass
has length Of from six to eight inches,
width of two inches, and a thickness Of
rom one-quarter to four-ffths of an inch.
This bar, brought to white heat, is
doubled upon itself and hammered until it
aas taken it's original dimensions. This
process is repeated fifteen times. -Four
similar bars are then soldered together,
doubled upon themselves, resoldered and
heated, this operation being repeated FIVE
times. BY this process the superposed
ayers of metal become so thin that sa-
Der is estimated to contain at least a
.housaDd sheets Of metal. Sometimes al
ternate layers Of iron and steel are SOL
lered together, and thus the blade pre-
sents a veined appearance. - London

olive oil has harmed the industry.
There" is a good and growing demand
all over the United States for olive
products. The profits in the olive in,
dustry lie principally in the production
of pickles, the larger fruit being used
for this purpose and the small sized
made into oil.
The olive seems especially adapted to-
certain parts Of California. For this
reason the only State agricultural sta
ton which has done much work with
the olive is that Of California.
The olive tree is a slow-growing ever
green, of great longevity and produc,
tlveness. In some Of the older coun-
tries about the Mediterranean trees
hundreds of years old and sometimes
twenty feet or more in circumference
have been reported. When grown nat
urally the tree attains height of forty
feet or more, and has somewhat
rounded form. The leaves are small
and lance shaped, dull green above and
sllvery beneath, and generally opposite
The flowers are small and white, with
Il four-cleft calyx and corolla. The
fruit is drupe, usually ovar or nearly
globular.
Two food products of Importance are
made from olives, olive or salad oil, and
pickle olives. a third product, little
known in this country, is the dried
olive, much eaten in Greece and some
other neighboring countries. The ripe
olive fruit is not unlike an oval damson
plum in form and size. In color it
ranges from various shades of purple
to almost black. 1t has sour and per-
sistent bitter flavor. The oil. like all
fats, has a high fuel value, and on this
its value as food depends. The Cali
fOrnia station insists that the picked
ripe olives are more than a relish: that
they really possess large food value,
much more than the picked green fruit.
The green olives are simply a relish
and to be used in limited quantities in
the same way as picked walnuts or
cucumbers. A meal Of bread and ripe
olives is not only palatable, but nutri-
tious and sustaining, and the amount
eaten is to be limited only by the same
considerations as that of any other
good, wholesome food. In Southern
Europe and other regions the ripe olive
is used as staple article Of diet.

MISSISSIPPI RIVER CATFISH.

Sent to Chicago and Canned as a Sub
stitute for Salmon.
The story that Mississippi River cat.
fish are being sent to California and
canned as a substitute for salmon is in
correct only in matter of detail" said
a local dealer the other day. "They are
not being sent to California, for the
very good reason that the haul is too
long and transportation charges would
be prohibitive, but they are going to
Chicago for the exact purpose named.
At present the industry is in it's expert
mental stage, but have private infor-
nation that it has proved a complete
success, and the people behind it are
going into the business on huge scale
next spring. 1t is quite a geographical
joke when you come to think about it.
a factory in Illinois for making Cali
fornia salmon out of Louisiana catfish:
but that is exactly what they propose
to establish. They will utilize the cats
that are too large for the regular mar
ket and that are at present simply a
nuisance to the fishermen. The can
ming process is, of course, secret, but
understand that the meat is lightly
smoked, and then put in solution that
gives it the characteristic salmon pink
color. After treatment they say it is
impossible to distinguish it from the
real thing. and it is no doubt equally
good, as the objections will be entirely
of a moral and ethical character, which
don't go very far in modern business.
Canned salmon is one of the staple
food products of the world, and there
nodenying the fact that the Columbia
River supply is beginning to run short.
| The catfish, on the other hand, are ap-
parently inexhaustble, so there seems
to be big future for the industry. II
it proves feasible, shall look to see
canned salmon factories established in
the vicinity of New Orleans, for there
Is no logical reason why the fish should
be sent 50 far away from home to be
put up, and the transportation charges
will add materially to the expense
Now that they are beginning to find
out what useful fish the Mississippi
River cat really is, it wouldn't surprise
me to see it figure among table delica:
[cies in a number Of different cities. =
