A committee Of the Planters society
has made report on a special mode Of
growing sugar cane which has been
tried at Havana, says the Philadelphia
Press. It consists Of planting the cane
ia rows four yards apart, each plant or
group of shoots being three yards from
the next, thus allowing the roots and
foliage fun scope. Only those shoots
and pieces Of cane which are full
grown are cut, the smaller ones being
left to ripen The committee says that
by this means the yield TO the acre IS
enormously Increased 1t is said that
the yield in weight of cane Of the
piece OF land on which the experiment
was made was 100 per cent greater
than Is obtained by the present meth
Cd By which the cane Is grown much
closer Further experiments will be
made.

One Of the anecdotes related OF the
pope by Hall Game in Household
Words is Of special interest. as #
shows IN a vivid manner the ties Of
kinship in the Peeci family. He says:
Since the Italians entered Rome in
1870 the attitude OF the Vatican has
been one Of protest against the power
which has arrogated its sovereignty.
One form Of this protest has been the
absolute retirement Of the pope within
the limits Of his exterritorial domain.
1t is held by the Catholic party that
for the pope to 80 ont Of the Vatican
for an hour or for even So short
journey as the width Of the piazza OF
St Peters would be to compromise his
claim, to acknowledge the supremacy
of the usurping king and to expose
himself to the insults Of an unbelieying
and rebellious populace. BE that as 1t
may, the conviction Is deeply rooted in
the Catholic mind that since the date
Of Italian unity the pope has never So
much as set foot ia the streets Of
Rome, and that having entered the
Vatican as a cardinal he can only come
out Of It as a corpse. This IS not the
fact Once, at all events. Leo XIII
passed through the city of King Hum
bert, and the occasion Of his doing so
was so proper, so human and so touch
ing that the highest considerations Of
diplomacy and dignity must sink out Of
sight in regard to it

All persons are required to kneel
when before the pope. Catholics are
expected to kiss the papal ring and It
is left optional with them whether or
not to kiss the pope's foot Protestants
are, Of course, required to do neither.
Many of them, however, voluntarily
kissed the ring, for the gentle bearing
and simple dignity Of Leo XIII. Inn

occasions were rare indeed when Amer

rare exceptions were of trivial impor-

then a leg and gradually the whole
body into it. The chill, once ac-
customed to, is virtually worn off.
In few minutes Everett had thor
oughly neutralized the mesmeric
quality radiating from Franklin, and
the two men were now on even terms.
But Everett was hardly prepared for
the reckless audacity of the man,
who, without any concealment, went
straight to the object of his BUSH
ness.
II presume" said Franklin in HIS
most overawing manner, shat you
are perfectly aware Of the object of
my visit?"
Mr.. Everett came very near being
thrown off his guard, but he recov-
cred in second and replied indiffer-
emily: mot being mind reader,
colonel, should not undertake to
say what the object of your visit
was. Be kind enough to explain your
self"
II came after that paper"
MT. Everett did not display the
slightest emotion of surprise, en-
barrassment or indignation, but there
was u cold defiance in his blue eye
and metallic hardness in his voice
as he replied: "Col. Franklin, you
will have to adopt some other method
If you wish to transact any business
with me. have never allowed any
man to take that tone with me and
! shall make no exception in your
case"
Franklin laughed nervous, dis
agreeable laugh and then said: "I
meant no offense, sir, and you should
have taken none. But it is perfectly
apparent to me that you have q pa
per which belongs to me-"
"You are mistaken, have nothing
that belongs to you"
"As you please. If am informed
correctly, O paper which was .taken
Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1903-06-03

my word of honor that no copy has
been made of the paper now in your
possession"
But he took out huge bundle of
papers and rapidly went through
them under Franlslin's close inspcc-
ton. The drawers in the safe were
taken out and their contents exam
med. AT last Franklin was satisfied.
Mr.. Everett courteously escorted him
to the front door and wished him
good night. Then he went back to
the library, softly chuckling to him
self.
Irving was brought in moment
after, and he was surprised to find
Mr.. Everett in such radiant humor.
Irving" said he, II have just sold
piece of property belonging to you
and me for $1O,00O"
What do you mean7"
Il have disposed of the copy Of the
agreement which you made tonight"
"How did you do it?"
"Col. Franklin insisted on 1t at the
point of his pistol"
why didn't you call me"
Il didn't want you. One Of us
would have been hurt, and besides,
1 was glad to get rid of the copy.
Franklin is now satisfied that there
is no accusing paper out against him,
and the original, which tossed be-
hind the books in the case yonder,
is safe. We will have vacation now
from thieveries and assaults, and all
sorts of diabolical schemes. I feel
immensely relieved. Besides, here is
$4,000 made by us in single even
ing"
you can use some of that in con-
Quoting the cases you now have on
hand. I like the idea of fighting
these people with their own money"
Now, Irving, am ready to try
Herbert Wright's case"
The next day the original agree
ment was deposited in sealed envel-
ope in the vault of the bank where
Mr.. Everett kept his account.

Artificial Limbs.

Artificial legs and arms are made SO
perfectly these days that 1t is absolute
ly impossible to tell that some people
are wearing them. Artificial legs are
made so that the lower part has nll
the action of the human foot and are
made to wear the same size shoe as
the opposite foot. The shoe on the real
foot will wear out in half the time the
one on the artificial one, which is said
to be due to the heat from the real
member. Artificial hands are made so
that the owner can pick up a pin.
Hard to believe, isn't it? But there is
a magnet in the end Of the artificial
hand.
