Thirty years ago, when visiting San
Domingo in an official capacity, he was
taken in hand by a newly appointed
Minister, who undertook to show him
around. Coming to the courtwny of
a prominent building. the guide point
cd to a doorway and remarked. as
complacently as if he were indicating
the name Of street: That is where
our last Emperor was shot"
In the course Of his sojourn he came
upon an aged man. held in high esteem
by the community because he had
been witness of a quite exceptional
number of revolutions and lived to
tell the tale.
How many have you seen?" the
visitor asked.
"Forty-two," the patriarch modestly
replied.

ReIt. Made ni CnMhidc.

A distinct feature of the up.to-date
masculine costume CIR the summer OF
1904 is TO be the cowhide belt. IL is
narrow. not more than one and half
inches wide. and is made of cowhide
with the hair on. The irregular brown
and white colorings are odd and strik-
ing. Also fad Of the season is the
handkerchief in colored effects TO
match the shirt worn. whatever that
may be. These come both in linen
and silk. The selfcolor shades in.
cluded are light blue, heliotrope. pale
green, very deep pink and champagne
Equally expensive, though perhaps in
better taste, are fine white haudker-
chiefs. hemstitched and having a bor-
der OF fine cords forming plaids.

Breaking 1t Gently.

A political lieutenant once announced
to Senator Quay disastrous defeat
making the announcement in blunt
brusque terms.
Senator Quay gave the man one of
his peculiar direct glances and smiled
slightly. Then ta said:
You have broken this news gently.
You remind me Of an Irishman. This
Irishman had great faith in his diplo-
macy, and one day, when a boy vas
killed at quarry he told the men to
leave everything in his hands, ard he
would break the news to tie boys
mother as it should be done.
80 he went home, put on a black
suit and black tie, and he knocked
at the door of the boys mothers house.
Good morrnin, ma'am.' he said.
'Tis sad accident yer bye Toms
gold watch has had
why said the mother, Tom never
had a gold watch
Sure, an that's lucky said the
news breaker, for there's twenty ton
of rock fallen on him."

MAY Be A SUTTON FAMINE.
Shortage Reported In the Production of
Vegetable Ivory.

The production of vegetable ivory
small and very heavy purchases OF
the available supply have been made
by Germany. the result OF the two
combined influences being that the
price OF this product has been ad-
vanced from twenty five to thirty per
cent during the last ninety days.
Though perhaps not one person in n
thousand is aware of the fact, nearly
every man and boy in the United
States is daily wearing vegetable
ivory. rs the greater part OF the coat
and vest button supply Of the world
is made from this product. The nuts
from which 1t is made grow wild in
the forests of Colombia and Ecuador
and are imported into the United
States In quantities varying from
100000 to 100000 pounds year.
Each pound makes several hundred
gross of buttons, which are dyed TO
match the color OF the cloth with
which they are TO be used
The nuts grow upon tree somewhat
similar to the palm. the fruit growing
in pod larger than cocoanut, which
contains large number of nuts. from
the milky inside of which is produced
the hard substance used in making
buttons. The nuts are gathered Ivy the
South American Indians and taken in
boats TO the nearest transportation
point. The market price here is from
two and a half to four aud half
cents a pound.

POTATOES NEED SPRAYING.

No one can now afford TO raise pota-
toes without the use OF the bordeaux
mixture and a spray pump; we always
spray twice and sometimes four times,
according to the season. We use a
common force pump set in Kerosene
barrel mounted on the front wheels
Of lumber wagon, which requires
two men to handle, one TO drive the
horse and the pump" and the other
to handle the hose This outfit will
spray from three to four acres the
first time when the tops are small.
and from two to three acres after the
tops are full grown. But in order to
be effective the spraying must be done
early as the mixture is preventative
and not cure for the blight. We in
variably mix paris green with the bor-
deaux mixture for the first application
to destroy the bugs
This method of cultivating the pO-
tato crop | have adopted after years
OF experiments in all kinds of soil and
under a great variety OF climatic condi.
tions. But in order to be successful it
must be thoroughly done in every par
ticular. the ridges must be straight
and even and of uniform depth. and
the narrowing both before and after
planting must be done at the proper
times, in order to destroy the weeds
and encourage the growth OF the
plants.
This will make all difference between
success and failure, but if all the con-
ditions are observed it is astonishing
at how small n cost per bushel large
crop Of potatoes can he raised besides
putting the soil in first-class condition
for succeeding crops.-George Aitken,
in The American Cultivator.

DRAIN TIE LAND.

Wet land should be drained. as IL
may be the most fertile on the farm.
BY the use Of drain tile there Will be
no unsightly open bitches. and the
Held can be cultivated as easily as any
other. If the land is not very wet the
cost of drainage will be but little. and
such land will he just as valuable for
pasture as before, with the added al.
vantage Of being adapted to greater
variety Of grasses than formerly. It
can then also come under the regular
crop rotation. If plot has been too
wet to use for ordinary crops it will
also be too wet for grass some years.
and when drained it will produce green

to slip a rope around her right leg. She
tried to kick it loose. but in doing so
got her left leg entangled in it, She
was thrown forward on her front legs
in a kneeling position. and then. with
a gentle push. sent rolling on her side.
Her four legs were then bound with
ropes until she was entirely helpless.
For an hour she was left in this plight.
then the ropes were removed from her
feet, and she got up a NEE, and sub
missive creature.
She stood still while a bit was placed
in her mouth and a saddle strapped to
her back. Captain Hayes climbed in
to the saddle, and Jennie consented to
