An Englishman'sA Appreciation of One
Of Chauncey Depew's Lit
tie Jokes.

Once upon = time Senator Depew and
Mark Twain were fellow passengers on a
trip across the ocean. One night dinner
was given and Twain was called upon for
a speech. He made number of character
istically humorous remarks, and then sat
called upon, relates the Washington Post.
''Mr. Clemens and exchanged speeches
before dinner" he said, land he has deliv-
cred mine. His is SO bad that won't dis
grace him by repeating it," Then Mr.. De-
pew sat down, while every body laughed.
The next morning, while Mr.. Clemens was
pacing the deck, an Englishman came up to
him.
Mr. Clemens" he said, II always thought
that Mr.. Depew was smart man, but that
speech of his which you delivered last night
was certainly the worst drivel ever heard"

Cultivation of Cocoa.

A traveller in South Africa, where the
cocoa tree is largely cultivated, speaks
of the great care with which the young
plants have to be protected from the
sun, which if very strong is fatal to
them. To secure this protection ths
planters shield them by banana trees
and plantain trees, the broad leaves
of which give them the needed shade.
And even when they are fully grown
they need protection, which is given by
trees known as ''imnortels," OF, as the
planters call them. 1.-The mother of the

Earmarks of a Good Farm.

But wherever he lives, north or south
or in the center Of the state, there are
characteristics, earmarks, so to speak.
by which the farm of the up to date
farmer is quickly recognized. 1t has a
tidy appearance, the fences are in or
der. The gates are on their hinges and
swing free. There are no weeds by the
roadside. His house and barns are
painted. The doors of his barns are
hooked shut or open. they are never left
swinging. His animals are never call
ing for water, nor his windmill for oil.
Such a farm is benefaction to the
neighborhood and benediction to its
occupants.-Joseph Carter, in Farmers
Review.

R1pEN1NG OF CHEESE.
A Recent Discovery Which 1t II Ex-
pected Will Revolutionize
the Business.

A hitherto unknown element in milk,
a new ferment, has been discovered,
called galactose, which is proving of
value in the ripening of cheese. The
properties of this ferment are similar
to the secretion of the pancreatic or.
gan in the human body, says Scrib'
ner's Old cheese is predigested food,
and the digestion is wrought by the
galactose. 1t was found that the galac.
tose would go on working at very low
temperatur temperatures at which
bacteria were practically inert Cheese
was put into refrigerators and kept
frozen for months. Other cheese was
kept just above the freezing point. It
was found that the finest cheese is
cured at from 40 to so degrees Fahren-
heit. Practical cheese manufacturers
had maintained that 50 degrees was
the lowest temperature at which
cheese could be worked without becom-
ing bitter and worthless. The new dis
coyery will, it is believed, revolution
ize cheese manufacture, doing away
with all curing-rooms, the cheese be-
ing sent directly to the refrigerator.

Forming the Reading Habit.

In order to organize odd minutes
into fruitful hours one must have q
means of carrying it out within
reach. Too many people read the
books which come in their way in
stead of putting themselves in the
way of getting the right books.
They buy and without thought
or plan because they do not under
stand that reading ought to be re.
source as well as recreation. De-
eide in advance what books you will
read, and do not take up with those
which drift in your direction. Do
not burden yourself with scheme so
extensive that it discourages you; do
not, at the start, plan courses OF
reading so vast that you are weighed
down with their magnitude. Begin
in a quiet and easy way by planning.

WILL NOT HAVE SANITARlUM
Supreme Lodge of Pythians Decides
Place for Their sick Cannot
BE Erected.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 1s.-At the ses-
sion Of the supreme lodge of knights Of
Pythias today the proposition to erect
sanitarium at Hot Springs, Ark, for sick
and disabled knights was definitely de-
feated by the vote OF 90 to 80 and the re-
port Of the special investigating commit
tee adopted at the last session was com
pletely diregarded. 1t was the voice OF the
supreme lodge that 1t has no rights under
its constitution to tax the members of the
order for such purposes. The supreme rep
resentatives, however, expressed themselves
as individually favoring a sanitarium IL
1t could be built without taxation.
The sanitarium project has been before
the supreme lodge for twelve years, but
at each previous session 1t was referred to
committees until two years ago, when a
special committee was appointed to make
a final report on the matter. 1t came up
today, and after a prolonged argument was
definitely defeated. The government Of
fered to give lease OF fve acres of land
to the Pythians for a period OF ninety nine
years for the purpose Of building the sani-
tarium. 1t was proposed to erect buildings
at a cost OF s25O,0O0, the expense to be
borne by per capita tax OF 10 cents on each
member Of the order, to be levied semi
annually for period Of five years.

GERMAN CONSULAR SYSTEM
United States Consul MOnoEban Trans
mits Interesting Report Com
cerninE It's Growth.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1s.-As weighty
testimony Of the industrial and commercial
expansion of the German empire, United
States Consul Monaghan at Chemnitz has
transmitted to the state department an in
teresting report concerning the development
of the German consular system. The re-
port is dated July "a and was made public
at the state department today. In 1872 the
German system comprised some 556 con-
sulates. In 1897, which is the latest year
for which full statistics are available, the
number had grown to 7S9.
The United States has some 320 full con-
sulates abroad. These are all regular gov
ernment appointments and cannot be COM
pared with the 7s9 German consulates for
the reason that the latter are divided into
two classes; the consuls by profession and
the elective consuls. The former hold office
under civil service. The elective consuls
are chosen by the business men of the
foreign city wherein they are to act and
receive no flxed salary; their positions be-
ing honorary in nature.
However, though the United States has
enough commercial agents abroad to bring
the total number of United States consular
officials up to about SEQ the fact remains
that the German empire has the better OF
this country In the numerical strength of
its consular representations. Particularly
is the German predominance noted in Cen
trail and South America, where, as an
oficial OF the state department expressed It,
there appears to be a German consul
everywhere" The most rapid increase in
the number OF German consulates OF late
has been found in the United States.
