And Such is Fame.

A short time ago some men were
seen in Pine street, near the Sub-Treas'
ury. "How's that for an eQuallzed
political quartet?". remarked a veteran
newspaper manEtoXa well-known dry:
goods merchant who has lived in this
city ever since he was born, sixty-two
years ago. "NNho are they:" was the
merchants rejoirder., Face Of the
small map is kind O. familiar" The
newspaper man collapsed. The quar-.
:tet were Alcnzo B. Cornell. once Cover
nor; William +. Sheehan, once Lieuten-
ant Governor: Hamilton Fish, twice
Speaker Of the State Assembly, and
the "small man" was once Secretary Of
War, Dan Lamont. Of course, now,
Fish Is United States Assistant Treas.
urer and will he known for a while,
for he is now again man of to-day.
Quite recently United States Senator
Tom Platt was seen shaking hands
heartily with a white haired gentleman
on Fifth avenue. Everybody knew
Plat, because he is man Of to-day.
"That's Edward Murphy, Jr., Of Troy"
remarked a passer-by, pointing to the
white-haired man. No person remem.
bered that he was Chauncey Depew's
predecessor as the United States Sena-
tor from this State. 1t happened one
evening that three men were at the
same theatre. No one in the theatre
but the manager knew who they We're;
no one recognized them going into the
theatre or coming out with the. crowd.
Yet they were former Mayors of New
York-Ely, Grant and Van Wyck, the
latter being only out of Office eighteen
nonths.-New York Press.

QUEER SUPERSTlTlONS.
BAD Luck Sure to Follow IL You A,

Ead Luck Sure to Follow If You Are
Broke on Thursday.
"However smart man may be, how
ever deep of brain, there is yet trace
Of superstition in his makeup" said a
thoughtful man, "and often 1t exists
and controls him in various ways with
out his Knowing anything about 1t. If
you should telelim thnt he was super.
stitious he would resent it, md in no
uncertain way, But all men are SUPER
stitious in some way just the same.
There are little things about which
men are q bit cranky, und they develop
into wellrounded superstitions. There
is Opie Reid, who has a queer little
notion that if he gets up Thursday
morning without money in his pocket'it
is bad luck, and he believes it so firmly
that he will not venture out of the
house and will not turn his hand to a
piece of work if it happens to him.
He is generally very careful to see
that he has something left over
Wednesday night, nest egg, as the
saying goes, for Thursday morning.
But sometimes he forgets, and sud-
denly discovers that he is dead broke.
That settles it, Not step will he
take from the house on that morning.
Now, how is that for superstition?
Yet, call him superstitious-well. you
had better do it at long range. l knew
another man in Chicago who has a
queer little notion that it is bad luck
to forget anything when you are leav-
ing home in TIE morning. One morning
we had walked to the car together.
lie suddenly turned on me with the
statement, 'I'll not 60 to the city to-
day. When I asked him why he said
he had forgotten something. It's bad
luck he said, and was unceremonious-
ly making tracks for the house when
he said it. 1 suppose we all have those
little notions and beliefs, but we are
not conscious of them, and so we are
apt to believe, and quite honestly, too,
that we are not the least bit supersti-
tious. But we are, just the same."-

TOMATO CULTURE IN THE SOUTH.
Attains Its Highest Degree OF Perfection
in Mississippi.

Attains Its Highest Degree OF Perfection
in Mississippi.
The place where tomato culture can
be said to have attained It's highest de.
gree of perfection is Crystal Springs
Miss, and the methods employed by
the growers Of that section can be
advantageously followed by every gar
dener, If not commercial grower. The
unusual feature of the system con-
sists in pruning the. plants, and the plan
has been followed By the writer in
his home garden since 1895, when he
learned Of It in the Florida winter to-
mato section.
Coincident with the appearance of
the third leaf of q young tomato plant
will come a sucker or branchs and as
the plant grows, additional suckers
will appear in the axil Of each leaf
until a vigorous plant will-have twenty
or more branches, the larger ones hav:
ing branches of: their own, and the
whole plant spreading over an urea of
ten or twelve square feet. Such a
plant, of course, requires an immense
amount of soil nutrition and moisture
to support in foliage. The Crystal
Springs planters set their tomatoes
somewhat nearer than do ordinary
growers-as close as three by three and
one-half feet-and when the first
sucker Is two inches long it is pinched
out, rs are likewise all suckers appear
|. ing thereafter. Before the plant be-
gins to fall, light pine stakes are driven
in the ground and the plants tied to
them with ordinary cotton strings.
The tomato is then trained up this
stake, requiring three or four tyings,
until 1t reaches the top, four feet from
the ground. Then the bud is pinched
out. This gives q plant with about
twelve or fourteen great leaves. four
times the size of the ordinary tomato
leaf, and FIVE or six clusters of mag
nifcent, perfect fruit. The patch now
looks like a diminutive orchard loaded
with fruit. Bushels Of ripe tomatoes
are in plain sight as the eye wanders
over the field. Under this method there
is no danger of tomatoes rotting OF
millewing; they ripen seven or eight
days earlier than If the plants are
left to their own devices or stalked in
the ordinary way, and it Is practicable
to get through. the rows at any time
and keep down Objectionable weeds,
and perhaps the most important, the
plants having comparatively small
leaf surface for Transportation do not
require nearly so much moisture to
mature, their fruit. ~.
If a somewhat bushier plant is de-
sired, the vine can be trained to two
instead of to a single sten.-Scientifc

N. C.. Butler
The only rational way to cure dyspepsia
is to remove the catarrh. Peruna cures ca:
tarrh. Peruna does not produce artiilciAt
digestion. 1t cures catarTh and leaves the
stomach to perform digestion in natural
way. This is vastly better and safer than
resorting to ARTIFICIAL methods.
Peruna has cured more cases OF dyspep
sia than all other remedies combined, SIM.
DIV because it cures catarrh wherever To-
Gated. If catarrh is located in the bead,
Peruna cures it. If catarrh has fastened
itsele in the throat or bronchial tubes, re-
runa cures it. When catarrh becomes ser

well in this location as in any other:
Peruna is not simply q remedy for dys.i

WORDS oF WISDOM.

Love is delicate; "love is hurt with
jar and fret" and you might as we'll
expect violin to remain in tune if
roughly used as love to survive If
chilled or driven into itself.-sir John
Lubbock.
Religion is not the conception Of Coz,
but the love Of Him. 1t is not the all.
stract idea of right, but the practical
doing of right. 1t is not the absolute
formula of truth, but the being true.
The substance is more than the
shadow.-Austin Carver.
If despair overwhelm thee in this
abode Of gloom, be wise and prepare
for -thyself a place of greater cheerful
ness. Wishest thou the night of the
grave to be luminous as day, carry
along with thee ready trimmed the
lamp of good works.-Saadi.
I see beginnings in man, no end;
wrestling, not achievement; unfolding,
not maturity. Still he sighs for light,
more light. Upon the borders of the
grave he stands, and stretches out his
hands to infinity and eternity for light,
forprogress, for new fields resplendent
with everlasting light and glory.-Or.
vile Dewey. ....... .....
"Quench not the spirit" 1t is word
of deep wisdom and warning. 1t
means, among other things, do thy
self no harm" Preserve your individ-
uality. Do not impair the life forces.
Do not disqualify yourself for receiving
impressions of reality from the world
around or illuminations from the light
within.-Charles G.. Ames.

In the blue morn, the new morn,
Beneath a sun-flled sky,
Oh, met little Love
When all the clouds were high;
A little owe, wistiul Love

I loosed his hands, and kissed his lips,
And bade him fly away.
In the warm noon, the sweet noon,
When all the air was gold,
Oh, I met a fair, great Love

So wise, so strong, so wonderful, :
Too high for my estate.

Oh. strange that he should comfort me

Governmental Positions Go Begging.

It is said that five life positions in
the Civil Engineer Corps of the Navy
Department, each with a salary of
$27O0 attached, went begging this
spring, because there were no satisfac.
tory applicants. The only explana'
tion suggested is that there is so great
a demand for civil engineers in private
life that these Government places were
not sufficiently attractive, and yet
most persons would be likely to think
that they would be eagerly sought
after, especially as the pay is in
creased after five years, and is made
$500 after ten years

Some important archaeological dis

a site in Egypt famous for it's painted
tombs and early architectural features,
are detailed by Prof. John Garstang,
Of University college, Liverpool.
A vast metropolis has been I'M
earthed, remarkable for the preserva-
ton Of the furniture in It's tombs and
for the wealth of material which these
supplied in illustrating the burial GUS
toms of the Middle Empire. Four hun
dred and n~inety-two tombs hewn in the
rock have been opened and examined.
More than 100 of them had never been
previously entered since their doors
were closed at the time of interment
1000 years before.
In the tomb of one Nefer-y, a chief
physician, the huge painted coffin was
surrounded by a numDe of wooden
models of objects and scenes familiar
from the wall paintings of the larger

Upon the coffin rested a great row

LIFE AND LOVE BOTH
CHEAP in THE CAUCASUS

In the northern Caucasus nearly half
the death rate of the Inhabitants is
caused by vendetta, and at least three
fcurths of the vendetta cases are the
result of a curious marriage custom
which is now decimating the popula-
ton. The native of those parts who
wishes to take unto himself a wife
cannot arrange the matter in the sim
pie offhand manner in vogue in west
ern Europe by popping the question"
He must go home, sell his belong
lngs, and buy her fairly and squarely
of her parents, the price ranging from
sf75 to 1000. This is a costly custom
Ia many ways. for 1t is not every young
man who can afford to invest such a
large sum in a wife, however accom-
plished. What generally happens in
such cases is that the INDECENT candi-
date for the order of Benedick induces
a few stalwart comrades to seize the
maiden and carry her off.
What too often follows then may be
