Ed. Register-The drouth was not
broken in this vicinity until the after
noon of the 23d instant, when a heavy
rain fell here; during the night fol-
lowing another heavy rain fell and,
consequently, vegetation of all kinds
was refreshed and iuvigorated. Corn
stood the drouth we'll and, in most
cases, is growing we'll. Wheat and
rye are, generally. quite poor and
promise but a light yield. Meadows
with very few exceptions, are very
weedy and the grass on them short.
Though the rains helped meadows
much, they came too late to ensure a
good yield of clean hay. A good gar
den is a rarity hereabouts. Much
fruit dropped off the trees, but in most
instances, sufficient remains on the
trees for a satisfactory yield, if it prop
erly natures.

NOTES.


It was a sure thing the celebration
would bring q rain.
There were between four and five
thousand visitors in town. Two thous-
and came on the trains.
No one made any money, so to speak,
except the saloons. They did a thriv-
ing basiness all day long and far into
the night. One establishment cold
t~hirty-two kegs of beer and other bev-
erages in proportion.
The street sprinkler from Farming
ton was sent for Monday evening and
Tuesday morning Main street was Civ
en- a general sprinkling. OF course,
that helped to bring on the rain, too.
The band contest did not take place,
but the boys from Poplar Bluff aud De
Soto treated us to some very fue mu-
sic. indeed.
Our boys band wagon was univer-
sally admired.
There was no occasion for any one
to be hungry. Refreshment stands
and lunch counters were on every
hand.
The storm in the evening prevented
the balloon ascension. just about the
time the balloon was inflated the wind
and rain came and the ascension had
to be abandoned.
Que hundred and twenty-five gallons
of ice cream were consumed on the pic
mic ground by four o'clock in the eve
ming.
1t was a big crowd, but the visitors
seemed we'll pleased with the treat
ment accorded them.

Last Monday evening. in response
to IN invitation extended by Rev. l.. q.
Wernert and the good Sisters, as well
as the young ladies of the school, the
newly uniformed a. V. Cornet Band,
in its elegant chariot, vent over to
Arcadia Academy, and an exceedingly
pleasant time resulted. At the Col
lege door we were welcomed by Father
Wernert and the Mother Superior and
escorted thence to the recreation hall.
Music by the band and excellent rendi-
tions by the music class alternated for
about two hours. We like music
that much the reader, we presume,
will take at our word-but Of all music
of whatsoever kind, none other appeals
to US so strongly as that of a chorus
of youthful voices. Resonant with
purity, earnest and sincere, their in
Is symbolic of the untainted
fount whence flows the expression of
the hottest emotion granted the soul.
AS the flood of melody filled the hall
it required no strained effort of the
mind to sever the relation of those
sweet young girls from the sordid
things of earth and transport them to
that fair realm where all is harmony,
love and gladness. God bless them, one
and all! One incident of the evening
was peculiarly grateful to the writer:
the presentation to him of q beautiful
bouquet of choicest flowers by a dainty
miss of seven years. If his prayers
avail happy indeed will be her lot. At
the conclusion of the concert, in a few
we'll chosen words-his remarks are
always h~appy-Father Wernert invit-
ed US to a table of refreshment spread
al fresco. That ample justice was
done to the delicacies put before us
goes without the saying. Then cigars,
a few more selections by the band, the
words of parting, and the return home.
On behalf Of 1.-THE boys" we tender to
those who did US so much kindness and
pleasure u hearty thanks.

REPTILE FASTS AND DIES.
Queer Creature Called Cyclodus
Breaks All other Previous
Records.

All previous records in the fasting
line have been broken by a queer rep
tile called a cyclodus, owned by Jo-
seph ST. Clair, a cigar merchant of 1o4
Hudson street, New York city. After
a seven months fast, during which the
cyclodus took nothing in the shape of
sustenance, it died last Sunday night.
In the seven months it increased from
eight to is inches in length and grew
stouter in proportion.
The cyclodus is a species of sand
lizard, belonging to the family of scin-
cidoe. In color it is silver and gray,
with brown spots and dark gray rings
around its body, and is found on the
rocky shores of Australia. The most
peculiar feature of this reptile is that
it is double-headed. The four legs are
jointed so that it can walk in either
direction without turning round. The
cyclodus is web-footed. The foot has
four fingers and thumb, while the
joints on the legs are made on the same
principle as a mans elbows.

a series of letters from scientists en-
couraging the expedition, and one
from his friend Fourville warning
him against the proposed trip. This
was indorsed: Possibly he is right;
but it is now too late to withdraw"

The jealousy of naval officers
of civilians is remarkable. Not
only have they fought the ac-
ceptance of the submarine Hol-
land, for instance, but now that
it has been proved a success in
spite of them, they oppose the
building of more of such boats
and are trying to devise some
boat or other that will take its
place.

NEGLECT Is COSTLY.
Torpedo Boats Rapidly Deteriorate
from Lack of Care.
Government Compelled TO Expend q
Great Deal Of Money in Making
Repairs That Might Have
Been Saved.

Carelessness of naval officers at the
Brooklyn aavy yard has cost the gov
eminent a good deal of money in re-
pairing torpedo boats, which were
hauled out of the water with the idea
of preserving them from the ravages
of winter. There exist no facilities for
taking care of these craft during the
cold weather, although for two years
the navy department has had at it's
disposal $150,00O for the construction
of a torpedo boathouse at the Boston
navy yard.
The advisers of the secretary OF the
navy never could agree as to the means
of providing protection and the meth-
DDS of handling the boats. Chief Con-
structor Hichborn prepared one
scheme and other officers had other
ideas, with the result that nothing has
been done or is likely to be DONE
When it came to hauling out the
boats at Portsmouth, New York,
League island, and Puget sound this
winter the constructors were obliged
to employ the most primitive means,
such as CREASED planks, and the boats
are protected by such temporary COW
ering as loose lumber affords.
At New York, it appears, the en-
gineers or the line officers, who now
are acting as engineers of the navy,
failed to take care of the boilers of the
boats. The mechanism consequently
deteriorated to such an extent and so
rapidly that it was found necessary to
remove the boilers. This could only be
done by cutting through the steel
decks or hull covering.
Three or four of the torpedo boats
such as the Dupont and the Ericsson,
were operated upon in this way at
great expense. The incident has been
guarded as departmental secret, al
though the correspondence between
the office of the secretary and some OF
the bureaus concerned in the matter
has been tart.
This situation, brought to light in
the session of the board on construc-
ton, induced the chief of the bureau
of navigation, Rear Admiral Crownin.
shield, to recommend that line officer
be detailed to the permanent duty as
inspector of torpedo boats He further
suggested that all torpedo boats be re
moved from the water and placed il
storage at the Norfolk navy yard
There they could be obtained as the,
are wanted and could be kept in repair
and in readiness for sea service.
