The largest tree in the world is
said to have recently been discovered
in Africa in the region of the Upper
Nyanza. Its height is said to be half
again that of the tallest trees in Cal
ifornia, and its thickness double that
of the largest giant redwoods. The
particulars are however, suspiciously
vague.
Dogs have a great history. They
did not spring from the wolf as pop
ularly believed, but from species of
wild dogs, which still exist in some
countries. They have been wor.
shipped by the ancient Egyptians;
Queen Elizabeth had 500 trained
blood-hounds to fight the Scotch;
Alexander built city in honor of a
favorite dog; and in England dogs
used to be fattened and driven to
market for table use like our hogs.
An extraordinary scene was witness.
ed at the corner of the Rue des Math.
urins in Paris recently. A man in mis-
shirt sleeves was seen holding a
string, the end of which was down a
sewer grating. A hook was attached
baited with meat. An enormous
crowd gathered, and the man caught
IA rats in 25 minutes. He was liter
ally fishing for them. The police in.
terferei, and the man, with two bas'
ketfuls of rats, was taken TO the po-
lice station. He explained that he
was catching the rats for rat-killing
contest for dogs, and was released.

POULTRY POINTERS.

A safe rule in feeding Is to give
enough to satisfy and no more.
Droppings should not be allowed to
accumulate In the poultry house longer
than a week.
Bone dust supplies an abundance OF
bonemaking material and counteracts
any tendency to diarrhea.
When possible. give the poultry house
n southern exposure and furnish that
side with an abundance Of light.
While wheat Is one Of the best grains
to feed to fowls, 1t should not be fed to
excess or It may cause diarrhea. Feed
It with other grains.
LOSS OF feathers Is generally caused
by want Of green food or want OF a
dust bath. Supply both. and, as local
application, use mercurial ointment.
Breed the best flesh formers for mar
ket; then feed them up to as great a
weight as possible. Well fattened. well
dressed poultry bring the best prices.

4 STORY Of TWO FLAGS.
How . Mans Life Was Saved At the
Very Last Moment.

How q Mans Life Was Saved At the
Very Last Moment.
The following stirring incident Of the
two flags happened at Valparaiso.
Chile. and was related at Montreal In
1881 by the Rev. DR.. ]. o. Peck. DR..
Peck said: b..
1.-THE man who gave me the facts
am about to relate was Mr.. Haskins,
an American sailor who had sailed to
a port in Chile. On going ashore, he
said, to enjoy his day Of liberty he
drank a little and became hilarious.
One Of the police officers, instead Of
warning him not to make noise In
the street, drew his sword and. strik-
Ing him a blow, knocked him down.
On that the American sailor got up
and knocked the policeman down In
return. He was on that arrested and
tried and condemned to be shot In the
morning Of the following day.
"Mr. Loring, the American consul. ex-
postulated with the authorities that 1t
would be monstrous to shoot the man
for such an offense. but they paid no
attention to him. 80 he thereupon made
a formal protest In the name OF the
United States government against the
barbarous act Mr.. Haskins. the sail
or, was in the morning brought out
pinIoned to be shot.
"As the English consul was prepar-
ing to hoist the union jack he saw the
crowd in the field opposite, where the
execution of the American sailor, Of
which he had heard. was to take place.
Rushing over the American consul. he
said, 'Loring, you're not going to let
them shoot that man!
"'What can l dor he said. 4 have
protested against It l can do no more.
"Ouick as thought the English con-
sui shouted. Give me your fag! And
in a trice the stars and stripes were
handed to the English representative.
At once, taking his own union JACK IN
his hand, he FASTENED across the neld,
elbowed his way through the crowd
and soldiery. and, running up to the
doomed man. he folded the American
flag around him and then laid the un-
ion lack over 1t. Standing few PAGES
back, he faced the officers and soldiers
and shouted deHantly, Now. shoot, II
you dare. through the heart Of Eng
land and America!
"And they dared not do 1t. for they
feared the consequences, so the man
was at once released. In telling me-
said DR.. Peck, "Mr. Haskins SAID 10
me. with tears streaming down his
cheeks even then. They loosed me
then, and, oh, how longed to embrace
those two fiagsr anglo American.

attorney Mir. Morrison relinquishea that office in February last. The re- mainder of the editorial from which the above paragraph is taken is as truthful and correct as the statement that MT. Morrison is the present Unit ed States district attorney of the ter ritory." MT. Morrison's nomination was advocated by a host of his friends. and after mature delberation the con vention nominated him because it was forced to choose between two eXcep tionally able and popular men. The moment the vote was tabulated he be- came the unanimous choice of the en- tire republican party of the territory. and if the democratic press does not discuss the issues of the campaign more intenigently than it has treated the incidents of the convention.

Kansas mas auopted the uniform text book plan. and contracted with a certain book company to furnish books to the school children. The competing companies, aggrieved at the award be- ing given to their rival, it is believed. induced a labor union to secure an injunction against the successful com pany, alleging some fracture of an agreement between the latter company and the union. The enioiners waited for an oppOrtune moment; as soon as the books ordered to equip the schools of the state had arrived at Topeka, the depot of the concern, the injunction was served. Not book can be dis tributed until the injunction is dis solved, and. waiting upon the usual processes of the court, it will be three weeks after the time appointed for the schools to begin before the matter can be settled.

Save Your own Seeds.

Why not save your seeds? 1t Is
wiser, better, cheaper. and adds ma
terially to the pleasure Of gardening.
You desire the best. To secure that,
select the best of that which suits you
the best. There is a great diversity
of taste; some prefer one form OF
color, another quite a different one.
This is an individual matter, and In
no way affects the principle. We all
have our preferences as to species.
We all want the best defined Of o
given type. To secure this result, Sc
lection is necessary, and selection
means choice. 1t means the most Wig
orous plant that produces the flower
or vegetable best suited to your taste
Save the geeds from such for future
use. Great care is required to make
the selection valuable. After q choice
Of plants Is made, the first flowers
should not be allowed to seed, as they
are never so perfect as those that
come later. If the second flowers are
all that can be desired, If they are i'm
proyements over those Of previous
years, carefully remove all the un-
developed buds on the plant, so as to
give the blooms the full strength Of
the plant for the ripening Of their
seed. This is the way all new varie-
ties are produced, and the way that
others may be. If a flower shows the
slightest change Of color or marking
1t is sure indication OF new variety
From this plant save the most marked
even though the flowers in other re
spects may not be desirable. Save
the flower for seed that shows the
greatest change, and do not trust an
other to bloom until that seed is rip
ened. Follow this up for a few years
and variety may be produced O.
/ more money value than the cost of the
whole garden during those years.
