"The Chautauqua meetings in the
country are the manufacturing centres
of material to re-enforce played out
and sluggish cities" said tn, Rev.
Frank w. Gunsaulus before the fifth
annual session of the International
Chautauqua alliance in Victoria Hotel
yesterday afternoon.
"The country boys best chances for
education are found at the summer
meetings. How many have benefited?
A recent canvass of the city has shown
this:
"Out of one hundred of Chicago's
prosperous business men I found that
eightyfour, beginning with Marshal
Field came from the country. Seven
ty-siX out of one hundred of the best
lawyers came from the country.
Seventy-one out of a hunderd of the
best physicians came from the coun-
try.
"The idea prevailed that the best
privileges of life belong to q class Of
self-constructed aristocrats, but the
fact is that these privileges belong to
the poor, ordinary man, and the Chau.
tauqua meetings have taken them TO
him. The purpose Of the meetings is
to build the real American ciyillza-
tiOn."-Chicago Inter Ocean.

A curious instance of a dogs intelli-
gent jealousy is reported from Liam
ishen.
A'happy family there consisted of a
lady, a cat, a kitten and Yorkshire
terrier. All four were on excellent
terms until the terrier took umbrage
at attentions which its mistress be-
slowed upon the kitten.
The terrier straightway began to dig
hole in the garden, and finished its
task to its satisfaction in three days.
= Then the kitten disappeared. A
search was made, and as the terrier
was seen patting down the earth over
the hole which it had refilled, the soil
was removed, and the kitten was
found to have been buried alive.
The dog was punished, but it took
the kitten to the grave again, and the
following day took it to a ditch and
left it there.-London Daily Express.

darkness for the Honduras border. Be-
fore daylight party of Ezetas noted

'Near the border Brannon's mule
was killed and he received bullet in
the thigh. Jeffries strapped him to
his own mule, and in the darkness
they crossed the line into Honduras,
where they were safe. 1t was five
days before Brannon received proper
medical care.
"In 1893, under the rule of the benev-
olent old Don Ponciano Leiva, his
nephew. Nuilla, started revolution
at Truxillo, and Jeffries was sent out
with a small party to capture the reb-
ell. The task proved an easy one, and
Nuilla was captured in narrow
mountain pass in less than a week,
losing only few men.
"From Honduras to the United
States of Columbia was only n short
step for Jeffries. His work in behalf
of the Government last year is quite
well known.
"He came to New York two years
ago and married the girl of his boyhood
choice, and she remained with him
during his last campaign. Jeffries
owns about 10000 acres OF valuable
timber land on the line of the Panama
Canal, so that his interests, naturally,
are with the new republic. He can be
counted upon to give good account
of the little flotilla under his command

The largest potato ever raised in the
State and probably anywhere in the
world was grown this season by James
Warren on the Hoover ranch, nine
miles east Of Greeley. 1t weighs nine
and three-fourths pounds and is COM
posed of several outgrowths. 1t shows
only one stem and gives no indication
of ever having been more than one
potato. The Hoover ranch is located
on the extreme eastern edge Of the
cultivated section and close to the open
range The field from which the tuber
was dug produced 200 sacks to the
acre and it was an easy matter to find
hundreds of potatoes in the field weigh

LIGHTNING tops ON SHIPS.
Experiments of Many Years Have Proved
Them Useless.

Them Useless.
Several European shipping periodi-
calls are advocating the use of light
ming rods on ships which convey ex-
plosive compounds. One of these
papers notes that on recent voyage
the foremast of the Umbria was
struck by lightning, which shattered
1t to bits. The writer of the article
stated that "if the ship had been fitted
with lightning conductors the current
would have been DETECTED from the
ship"
The value of lightning rods for ships
was investigated by Captain Folger
of Nantucket, Mass, brother-in-law
of Benjamin Franklin, the inventor of
the types of lightning rods in common
use the world over until few years
ago. After FOlger, many other Ameri-
can and British shipmasters studied
the lightning rod question, with the
final result that thousands of expert
ments with masts fitted with lightning
rods adduced the belief that they are
of no value in warding Off lightning.
AS a matter OF fact, abundant evil
dence exists in the achives of Ameri-
can, British and French scientific So
cieties that thousands of ships pro-
vided with lightning rods were struck
by lightning. Time was when naval
and army magazines We're fitted with
lightning rods. That practice ended
years ago. 1t is only among believers
in divining rods and fortune tellers
that confidence in lightning rods exists.

There are larger birds than the fla.

plumage, but no other large bird is so
brightly colorcd, and no other brightly
colored bird is so large. In brief, size
and beauty of plume united reach their
maXimum of development in this re.
markable bird, while the open nature
of its haunts and its gregarlousness
seem specially designed to display its
marked characteristics of form and
color to the most striking advantage.
When to these more superficial attrac-
