Nature Really Beaten.
From the New York Globe.


Science is credited in these times OF
daily wonders. with doing so much that she
doesn't do that her real miracles are often
forgotten almost before they are accom-
plished. One of these is the commercial
production of artificial indigo. This purely
chemical process has been so far perfected
by the German chemists that ii has reduced
the price of indigo nearly 20 per cent and is
rapidly driving the indigo plant and plant
err out of business.
+ The value Of the natural dye annually ex-
ported from India has fallen in ten years
from $17, SIS. 800 to 81, $4,000. In the United
States the artificial, or, as II Is technically
called, synthetic, product came on the mar
ket about 1893, and cost a cents yound.
The price Is now down to IS cents. Three
fourths Of the indigo imports into Japan
last year were Of the artificial dye. Into
Germany comparatively insignificant
amounts of natural indigo are imported.
while her exports last year represented a
value of %. 900 600 marks. It is estimated
that already fully So per cent of the worlds
consumption of indigo Is of artificial man
ufacture. Somewhere back In the sixteenth
century, when indigo first began to come
into Germany in large quantities, a law was
passed prohibiting its use as a dye because
1t was running the home Industry dependent
on wood. Now as q sort of retrtbutive
Justice the German manufacturers flooding
the world with a laboratory product made
from coal tar which Is making waste land
OF the indigo fields In India.

NEUTRAL TINTED AUTUMN.
The Usual Blaze of Color In the Diving
Foliage Absent This Year,
From the New York Sun.

/
A remarkable feature of this years fail
Is the lack of color in the woods, owing to
the absence of frost. Usually by the latter
part of October the trees are afiame with
gold and crimson. but this year they are
fading in dull ochres and browns
The naples. whose splendid scarlet gem
orally holds the eye, are going to their long
sleep In a. robe OF faded gray lumber ex-
cept where their roots happen to reach
water. This extra GOODNESS has helped their
color. and among the swamps they have
assumed their crimson tints. Here, too the
sumac glints bronzly vermiion.
Some blight has affected the chestnut
trees. and many Of them are dying near
the city. What few leaves they possess are
falling rapidly.

sienna, and the white birches are changing
In dull gamboge, very different from their
regular hue of light chrome yellow. The
only trees which have donned their GUS
tomary dress are ths beeches. Their bright
bors In full glory. and the light underneath
their branches Is as golden as in former
years.
Another feature Is the extraordinary
amount of foliage remaining late on The
trees. In ordinary years when the Juncos

THE CENTURY,s CALL.
Deep unto deep. t eaIIeth.

Deep unto deep it ealleth.
 The century dominant cry; Over the desert and over the plain, over the peak and the mountain chain, Under the thrilling sky. The voice of mighty peoples.
 And the toesin ot war and woe, From East to West tis sounding.
 And man must rise and go He must leave the hearth of his mother, And fare to the Northern zone Traverse the waste and dare the dearth, Know the moods of the desolate earth, Live in his tent, alone For the century bids him hasten
 To find her hidden wealth, The lore she guards and the treasure She only yields by stealth. A man must fear no peril,
 He must ride like knight of old; To tourney and tilt, with a good right hand, That ceaves to the hilt for the love of the
 land
 And here's to the soldier bold. Who is pure of thought and action.
 Who is ready to serve his age, Who cares for the thing he doeth, And not for the soldiers wage. Deep unto deep. 1t eaIleth.
 The century s urgent cry. Splendid and strong is the eenturyss song. Valor and love to the battle throng, And it may not pass you by. From East to West tis sounding, The call for the brave and the true. lads with pulses bounding.
 That cry is meant for you. Wherever the need is greatest,
 Wherever the ill Is worst, Over the citys thousands thick over the deserts of stone and brick, Over the lands aCCurst. The cry for help is pealing
 Bitter with want and woe. brother, If you hear it,

 T don't b'lieve can do it, said he.
 What! Pay a dollar. to have that hoss skinned!' cried Mrs. Samson. That neyern do! You go skin that hoss, Hoke, and go right off, too, before he's cold"
 Hoke set off with lantern and knife. having little stomach for the jeb He called at their neiehbor Robbins to borrow the pincers and succeeded in eoaxing little Jimmy Robbins to go with hlm to hold the lantern.
 The gray body did look rather un- eanny by lantern-light, lying the,e in the dark pasture, and some ans.- dog, probably. was sneaking rounG. lut siunk away as they approached. It cid not add to the eheerfulness that an owl began to hoot down in the swamp be- | low the pasture, and that ere long dog-perhaps the same one-raised q melancholy howl at a distance.
 Hoke felt queer all over; but he got to work after a shaky fashion. and pulled off the shoes from the two fore feet and one of the hind ones. The other, the under one. bothered him. The leg was drawn up, the tendons con- traeted, but they stretched out when he pulled at the shoe When he let go they drew back in an odd way.
 It came into his mind to cut the cords. and, seizing the leg by the fetlock, he began hacking with the large knife above the "gambrel joint" Quite by chance he partly severed. not the ten- dons, but the sciatic nerve. or what l corresponds to that in a horse.
 Instantly a singular phenomenon was exhibited. The cut through the nerve sheath liberated the residual nervous energy of the nerve trunk. The flexor muscles were first stimulated to contrac- ton; the leg jerked itself from Hoke's hand!
 This of itself was somewhat alarming, but even before he could step back, the extensors felt the reflex stimulus. and the leg strengthened powerfuly-muc as if a living horse had kicked. Hoke was standing exactly in line, and the result was that hoof and shoe landed pretty nearly over his solar plexus. with such violence that he was bowled over l backward and measured his length among the stones of the pasture.

after in a condition, mentally, that frightened his mother. although she was not a woman easily alarmed
 Hoke rushed in at the door. with eyes sticking out, and white as a sheet. Per haps it was partly the kick on his stom- ach. All he could say was that dead Old Rackabones had tried to kill him!
 The kick itself is easily explained on grounds of nerve action; but HGke knew little of nerves. He sal by the stove and shook like a leaf His mother could hardly drive him to bed The next day he pretended to be sick and kept in doors. For more than fortnight he could not be induced to go out after dark For, like most cruel boys. Hoke was a coward
 Meanwhile the selectmen had inferred Old Rackabones al the public expense. Hoke's courage rose a little after he learned that the old horse was under ground; but people noticed that he had a scared look round the eyes the rest of the autumn.
 In November he went 10 work with 2 gang of Italians exeavating gravel for new railroad that was to pass within a mile of their house He is still ex- cavating. That seems fit employment for him. It is, no doubt, better that a boy like Hoke should not have dumb animals at his mercy Pick and shovel do not suffer from his cruelty. Youths Companion.

OLD RACKABONES' LAS T .l.C.K
 BY ROBERT MERRILL, JR.

IT WAS avery queas thing to have

 But if Hoke Samson had been better boy, if he had been anything. in fact, except the ignorant, rough fellow he was he would not have been so badly fright ened.
 Hol1e drove a green-truck wagon into Bristol village every summer morning. The fresh young beets peas, cucumbers, potatoes and green corn which he ped- dled were all right, and for that reason the village housekeepers were glad to see him appear Yet it made every body's heart ache 10 see the way he used his old horse
 Whenever he stopped at house, or rather when he started on to another, Hoke would yell, savagely "Huddup, Old Rackabonesl" and beat the horse with his white oak whip-stock.
 It was plain that the animal could but just drag along with his load His bones stood up high in his rusty. rum pied gray hide, and his looks were those of hopeless dejection. Evidently he was half-starved. and the only reward for his hard days labor was; "Huddup Old Rackabones! and crack from the whip-stoek.
 The village people talked about it, and the Cruelty-to-An officer was notified. But the selectmen of Bristol argued that Hoke had mother and three sisters. and that if they took the old horse away from him the town would have to help them They threat ened him. however, and bade him feed the horse better
 Others. mostly women. remonstrated with Hoke time and again. till he grew insolent with them This is my hoss see? I shall drive him as I've mind to-see? Lots O folks git rich mindin their own business-see?"
 Compassion had been left out of Hoke. He was a little more cautious about beating the horse when he saw that people were watching him, but it was said by some that he more than made up for this when he thought he was out of sight and hearing on the road. beyond the village.
 What all who knew Hoke and his horse had long expected, happened one day last autumn. Old Raekabones died. On one of his trips to the village he fell in the shafts of the WeFon about a mile and half from his an that time even the oa to make him get ID. The only wonder was that he had not died long beforei
 Hoke was mad clean through that was what he said to neiehbor afterward-that Old Racka bones should up and de" in that mean fashion just as he was most needed to draw the win ter wood. Besides. he broke one of the wagon shafts in falling That was an- other mean trick! Ii he must fall. he might at least. have fallen forward. ana not sidewise on that shaft!
 Hoke unbuckled the harness. got the horse clear of the wagon. and then, pulling first by the tail then by the ears, he hauled the body out of the road and through a set of bars into a pasture. where he Jeff it to fate and the crows.
