INSTALLING A NEW HAwsER

Captain Olsen of the tug Fearless is
installing a fine new hawser on the
vessel. 1t is a IA inch coir hawser
and is thought to be far superior to
the Manila hawser that is ordinarily
used. There is So fathoms of the new
hawser. 1t will be used in heavy tow
ing and in hauling vessels off the reef.
The stretching of the hawser will be
quite an interesting occurrence. Cap
tain Olsen will test the new hawser
and straighten out the kinks in it in a
few days.

EFFECTIVE AT LAST.

We get from Kalamazoo the story Of
the death of William G. Pattison in his
seth year, as the result of his excessive
use of tobacco, for he had smoked
cigars for 20 years at the rate of 5000
a year, or nearly an average of II
day. When he was young and drove
stage in the Mississippi valley, he
smoked even more. But how long it did
take to kill him!

NOVELIST GoRKY A GAMBLER.

Gorky, the Russian novelist, seems to
be making money at the gaming table,
as well as from his books. 1t said
that he was begged to take a hand in
little game at st. Petersburg, and
when the birds began the traditional
search for the worms which had been
out all night, Gorky was sitting in the
rear of $1,000 rubles, which is equal to
$4,000. And on top of this comes the
news that he is to give up depicting
low life in his novels, and that his next
will be of high society and what it
does ..15l&E.ld

Land Lost to Texas.

"Three portions of the boundary
lines of the state of Texas are under
dispute, and in each instance the ter
ritCry of the Lone Star state is cut in
to-" said Marshall y. Golden at the
New Willard There was recently
filed in the land Office of the state a
report of the work under the act or
congress requiring the secretary OF
the interior to establish the Tooth me-
ridian which farms part OF the east
ern boundary Of Texas. 1t was at first
believed that Texas would gain an
eight-mile strip from Indian terri
tory. but on the contrary, according to
the report, Texas will probably lose
strip three-quarters of mile VIDE
Should this report be considered as
final people holding property on what
was always considered the Texas side
will lose the title. as a Texas deed to
the land will not be legal.
1.-THE same condition prevails along
the entire panhandle on the western
end of the state. Surveyors have liked
the 1881 meridian so as to cut on a
strip three miles wide. embracing
300 OOO acres, from the Lone star
state, and it has recently been brought
to light that New Mexico disputes the
boundary line extending from the west,
ernmost point of Texas, and the Lone
Star state is about to lose more land
to Now Mexico. "-Washington Star.

ChromoS and CorpSeS.

In speaking of the impositiOns prac-

some special line, in Lippincott's, Mrs.
Cornelius Stevenson relates the follow

"A young woman of more than usual
refinement called upon me one day to

artistic excellence of floral chrome
to be issued as a bait to subscribers by
Il leading Sunday paper. | can see it
nova huge bunch of wildly white

smaller than the newspaper itself. She
had been likewise instructed that

judges of the Orphans Court. Find
ing the court in session. she sat down
near the throne to await the recess.
His Honor, however, who recognized
her, wishing to spare her long wait
ing. came to the bar during pause in
the proceedings and cOurteOusly asked
what he could do for her. She de-
INJURED, and replied that she could
wait; but he kindly pressed her.
Whereupon to her intense embarrass,
mcnt, she was obliged to unroll the
| chrome before the entire court and
| then and there to state her absurd
errand. Tho flush of modification was
! still upon her cheek as she told her
| story: and when | burst into an uncon

The weepina willow.

"Did you know that all the weeping

from twig planted by the stepson OF
George Washington at his place at
Abingdon, few miles from Mount
Vernon" asked a tree-lover who has

estates. at was this way: Young
Gusts, as a member of Washington'S
military family, sometimes carried
messages, under flag between the
helligerent commanders, In this SER
vice he became acquainted with a
Young British officer. who, like others.
had come over with the impression
that the rebellion would speedily be
crushed out, and that he would then
settle on the conlscated lands of the
rebels He had even brought twig
from the weeping willow near Pores
villa, at Twickcnham, carefully
wrapped in oiled silk. AS his visions
of n castle in America faded away he
gave the twig to John Parke Gusts,
who. on his return to Abingdon in the

LONG AGO.
BY Eugene Field.

I once knew all the birds that came
And nestled in our orchard trees;
For every flower had a name
My friends were woodchucks, toads an'
bees;
knew where thrived in yonder glen
What plants would soothe stone

Oh was very learned then
But that was very long ago.
I knew the spot upon the hill
Where "hcckerberries could he found;
knew the PUSHES near the mill,
Where pickcrel lay that weighed
pound!
| knew the wood-the very tree
Where lived the poaching, saucy crow,
And all the woods and crows knew me
But that was very long ago.
And, pinng for the JOYS of youth,
| tread tn, old familiar spot,
Only to learn the solemn truth;
! have forgotten. am forgot,
Yet here's this youngster at my knee
Knows all the things | used to know;
To think | once was wise as he
But that was very long ago.
/ know it's folly to complain
OF whatSoe'er the fates decree;
Yet. were not wishes all in vain,

III wish to be bov again,
Back with the friends | used to know;

King Edward Always Is Up at Seven
KAISER Breakfasts Then.

KAISER Breakfasts Then.
While the great mass of his subjects
are still comfortably asleep in bed
King Edward has risen and is seated
at his desk, desp in the consideration
of state documents, for, though his
majesty does not lie down with the
lamb he gets up with the milkman
1t is always after midnight before
the king is in bed. but by Z o'clock he
is astr. Very often he rises couple OF
hours earlier, in order to keep abreast
with the enormous quantity of work
which presses on MINI. At Windsor he
usually attends the early services at
st. Georges and has accomplished the
days work of an ordinary man before
most of his subjects have finished
breakfast.
This spectacle of the king up and
doing at a. M, while so many of his
subjects stroll lesurely into their Of
fees five hours later, is notable and
suggestive. Americans assign as one
! reason for their marvellous nrnrr"Ge
that New Workers are at business al
80 or 8 a. m, while L.ondoners are
full hour later.
There are no harder workers than
modern monarchs, and they, at all
events appreciate the value of the
morning hours. The German Emperor
breakfasts punctually every morning
at 7 o'clock. Very often he has been up
for hours. Not very long ago the col

Without a word the Emperor motioned
the officer to his post and watched the
drill in silence, but on that evening
the colonel received from his imperial
master neat little alarm clock.
Soon after 8 a. m, the Emperor is at
the foreign office in consultation with
Count Won Buelow His ally the king
of Italy is likewise an early riser,
and requires his officers and servants
to be the So me. Soon after his Access

the king required strict punctnality

of this action of Victor Emmanuel
is that the Italian civil service esti-
mates have been considerably reduced

hours rendered superruous. The Car

Plants may be poisoned just as well
as animal organisms. A lack of OXy-
gen will result in asphyXiation just as
surely as it does in man. The effect
may not he so quickly attained. but 1t
is none the less sure. An eXpPrimentcr
Mt the Imperial Agricultural University
of Tokyo has recently been studying
the poisonous effects of caffein and an
tipvrin in high dilutions on plants.
Onion and celery plants were the sub
iccts of tho investigation. 1t was
found that the former plants remained
alive for NEARLY four weeks In Soill-
ton containing one part of caffein in
1000 of the nutrient solution" In other
experiments on celery plants these
same alkaloils proved fatal in about
two weeks. the death of the plant being
heraldcd by the whiting of the leaves
1t is quite remarkable that the tea
| plant which contains comparatively
large amount of catfein in the leaves
| should also be susceptible to poisoning
| from cnffcin when fed to the plant
along with nutrients. 1t is slrmised
that the caffein found in the tea leaves
is so surrounded as to protect the cells
from injury.
