BREAKFAST BACON.

One important deduction that may
be drawn from the desirability of
ham and bacon from comparatively
lean hogs lies in the relatively large
proportion of the muscular tissue to
the fatty. The selection of the ami
mails in not too fat condition for
table use may conduce to the superb
ority of the products.
From the lower part of the side

choicest bacon meat in the whole

Two years ago two men from Chi
cago were the guests for a day of an
extremely rich and prominent old man
in Memphis, says the New York Trib-
une. Their host had been member of
Forests famous cavalry during the
Civil War and was noted as a fire
eater. One afternoon the old man and
his two Northern guests got on a
street car together at one of the prin-
cipal street corners in Memphis.
It happened that one side of the
street car was pretty we'll filled. At
one end of the other seat half dozen
people were sitting, leaving more than
enough room to accommodate the new
Corners. But midway in this vacant
space sat a young and loudly dressed
negro man:
The young negro looked up as the
three white men entered the car, but
made no sign of moving over so as to
leave space for the three of them to
sit down together. The old Seutherner
said nothing. He sat down beside the
negro, put his hand into his waistcoat
pocket and pulled out small and
dainty penknife. Deliberately he open
ed the smallest blade of this knife
about half an inch long-and reaching
over jabbed the negro in the leg with
it. The negro gave a wild yell of ter
ror and teaped from the car. Still
calm and deliberate the old man closed
his knife, put it back in his waistcoat
pocket and with a courtly gesture to
his two friends from the North who
were still standing. said:
"Sit down, gentlemen"
Nor did he ever again refer to the
incident. As for the two men from
the North, they were too greatly ass
tonished to call attention to it.

A GODDESS OF WAR.

One of the busiest industrial CEN
ters in Europe is Essen, Germany. 1t
is a city of 100000 population, depending
entirely upon one corporation for its
sustenanee. It is the greatest steel
manufacturing city of Germany. The
fires in its furnaces and on its FORCES
never go out. During the twenty-four
hours of the day the clang Of ham
mers and the roar of forced air
draughts through beds of living Goals
make the city's air vibrant with noise,
and the atmosphere Is always heavy
with smoke and vapors from the great
shops The Krupp works at Essen
manufacture steel rails and some
structural materials. but the bulk of
their output consists of implements of
war The works are the armorers of
Europe. Krupp cannon of various cal
ibres are TO be found in every army
and navy of Europe. and OF Asia as
we'll The armies of the Car and the
Mikado are fighting on the Yalu with
Krupp field. siege and mountain guns.
The fleets on both sides at Port Arthur
and Nladivostok mount Krupp guns in
their barbettes and turrets. Krupp
guns went to the bottom with the Petro-
pavlovsk and the Variag, and Krupp
guns fired on them from Admiral Togo's
ships. The projectiles. too, were from
the Krupp works at Essen. Wherever
there is war between powers of i'm
portance, there the name of Krupp
figures largely.
1t seems the irony of fate that so
monstrous an agency for the destruc-
ton of human life and property as the
Krupp works certainly are should be
owned and presided over by a tender
young girl, who would pity and rescue
a fly that had fallen into a cream jug.
died his property descended to his
daughter, a comedy, attractive Teuton
maid now just entered into woman
hood. 1t is true that the actual man
agement of the vast property was left
in the hands of a governing board, but
it is fact nevertheless that the owner
ship is vested in Miss Krupp and it
is within her province to change or
countermand orders of the heads of
departments or of the board itself
Thus in a way she has some of the
strongest governments of the world
more or less at her mercy. If Austria,
or Russia, or Turkey, or Italy, or Spain
and others could buy no more guns
from Krupp's for either army or navy,
that country would be In bad way
as a power. 1t is easy to understand,
therefore, that Miss Krupp carries a
heavy load upon her young should
ers. in addition to the burden of the
millions she inherited.

PRORLEMs IN soUTH AFRICA

The BOer war in South Africa didn't
settle all the problems in that country.
The main cause of the war was the
refusal OF the Beers to permit the new
comers-those interested in the gold
mines-to have such a share in the
government as the latter thought they
should have. AS the British were vic
torious 1t would naturally be thought
they would encourage the emigration of
white people to South Africa, but it
seems that such is not the case. Re-
Gently the Transvaal government en-
acted a law permitting the gold min
ing companies TO import Chinese labor
with which to work their mines. This
law the British government has APP
proved. and the task of transporting
Cinnamon TO South Africa has already
begun.
Before this movement of Cinnamon
ceases il is probable that hundreds of
thousands of them will be residents of
the land of the Beers. OF course the
Beers don't want them. as they have
comparatively little interest in the
Mines which are practically owned by
London capitalists. The Beers, how
ever, would like to know what is to
be done with the native Kaffir labor
the labor that has heretofore been en-
ployed in working the mines. That is
a problem which the mine owners are
not interested in. In fact, they don't
care anything about the welfare oil
the country.
The greed for gold was at the bottom
Of the Boer war, and 1t is making
these new problems for South Africa
With improved machinery and white
men the mines could be worked as
cheaply as they can with cheap Chi
nese labor. but the mine owners don't
want white men in the mines. because
they are afraid they would take pos
session of them, practically, by
means of their labor unions, as they
have of mines In Australia. and they
Cont want Kaffir labor because it is
too unreliable. And So for the ben
eft of the gold mine owners. the coun-
| try is to be filed up with coolie labor
This would seem 10 show that England
| fought the Boer war on the demand
of, and for the benefit of. the gold mine
owners. AS a matter of fact she Is
making them pay heavier taxes thar
the Beers did. ana In order that they
can pay heavier taxes she is letting
them work their mines with eoolie
! labor.
The Savannah morning news., 1904-05-09

Thomas A. Edison not long ago told
a friend the story of his first acquaint-
ance with any big sum of money, says
Success. 1t was when he was strug-
CLING with HIS earlier Inventions. and
he had about as clear an idea of the
value of a bank check as the man In
the moon. He had finally sold his pat
ent on the gold and stock indicator to
the Western Union Telegraph Company
and had called at its office to close the
deal. After few preliminaries he was
given q check for $4,000. He eyed II
curiously and appeared to be puzzled
what to do with it. Observing his per-
plexity, Gen. Lefferts then president of
the Western Union, told him that IL he
would go TO the Bank of America, in
Wall street. he could get the cash on
his check.
so 1 started said Edison. latter
carefully folding up the check, and
went toward Wall street. So uncertain
was l in regard to that way of doing
business that l thought, while on the
way, that if any man should come up
to me and offer me two crisp thousand
dollar bills for that piece of paper
would give him the check very quick
IY'
On his arrival at the Bank of Amer
lea he half tremblingly showed his
check out to the cashier. The latter
serutinized it closely, gave him a pierre
ing glance, and said something which
Edison, being hard of hearing, failed
to understand. That was enough. He
was fully convinced that his check was
not worth $4,000, and again thought,
as he rushed out of the bank, that any
man who would give him $4,000 for it
could have it. He hurried back to the
Office of the Western Union and said
he could not get any money. A clerk
was sent to the bank with him to iden-
tify him.
This man." said the clerk. lis Mr.,
Thomas A. Edison. to whose order the
check is drawn
why, certainly, Mr.. Edison" said
the cashier; how would you like your
money-in what shape?"
"Oh. any way to suit the bank; it
doesn't make any difference to me, so
long as l get the money"
Edison was given $40, 600 in large bills.
After dividing the roll into two wads
of $4,000 each, he stuffed one into each
trousers pocket, and made all speed
out of Wall street. The next day he
began work on his first laboratory in
New York

GOOD OUT OF EVIL.

The cotton boil weevil is an evil and
a menace the danger Of which can
hardly be overestimated. 1t is calcu-
lated that in Texas alone last year il
cut off the cotton crop by hundreds of
thousands of bales, thereby entailing
very heavy loss upon the farmers.
Should the weevil's progress continue
as it has begun, the damage done
throughout the cotton belt would be
prodigious and well nigh disastrous.
And yet, according to a Galveston pa
per, the experience of Texas with the
boil weevil last year will not be with
out beneficial effect.
In the first place, the ravages of the
weevil thoroughly aroused the farmers
to the Importance of diversifying their
crops. This year, while the cotton
acreage of the state as a whole may
be increased, as compared with that
of last year, almost every farmer in
the weevn belt viii plant provision
crops as well as cotton. Thus the
whole dependence of the farmers will
not be placed on cotton, and if that
crop for any reason should prove a
whole or partial failure the result Will
not be so serious as if no provision
place, the farmers have learned the
necessity of planting early and cuiti-
waiting highly, with a view to securing
early maturity of their cotton. This,
il is believed, will gave a larger yield
and a better class of staple on the
same acreage. In the third place it
has been learned that a fair and mer-
charitable quality of cotton may be
thrashed out from bolls prevented by
frost or other causes from coming to
maturity. The thrashing of unopened
bolls was not resorted to until late last
fall, after early frosts and the aban-
donment Of many fields; but a con-
sentative estimate places the value of
the cotton thus procured at not less
than 81 100000. In former years what
ever lint was left in unopened bolIs was
lost. Hereafter the thrashing win be
feature of the harvest. Furthermore,
the attention of cotton growers and
others has been attracted to the manu-
facture of by-products from cotton
stalks. Representative Lowering OF
Massachusetts said in Congress the
other day that a fine grade of paper
could be manufactured from cotton
stalk fiber, and that steps had been
taken to develop that industry in Tex
as. 1t seems that the stalk fiber can
also be used ins the manufacture of
smokeless powder, and that factories
for its use in that way are to be con-
structed in Texas. Thus 1t will be
seen that the visitation Of the weevil,
bad as it was, was not an unmixed
evil.
