Dewey and the Cables.

Admiral Dewey grew reminiscent as
the LIST Of May rolled around this year.
he narrated to a number OF friends
the manner In which he learned that
there were two cables instead OF one,
as be supposed, In Manila bay.
Il had found and cut one cable, "
said the admiral, "and thought that

communication went, when a captain

oade me alight and partake Of his hos

At q recent dinner which was attend
ed by a number Of clergymen President
Buckham OF the University Of Vermont
told the following Of Bishop Hall OF the
Episcopal diocese OF Vermont, In re-
Spouse to some good natured chat
about the liberal views Of the Congre-
Eational church and the ease with
which almost anybody could join It
He said he had heard Of q nero who
had many times applied for member
ship In St Paurs church at Burlington,
but had not been able to satisfy the
bishop that his state OF mind entitled
him to admission. The negro had been
advised to pray that his spiritual con-
dition might improve.
After doing so he made a new appli-
cation. The bishop said to him:
well, Erastus, have you prayed as I
told you tor

In consequence of the wording of a

about 400 people, among them majori-
ty of women and children. The death OF
so many human beings is sad enough,
without the imputation of cruelty
against the Ne,herland soldiers. What
happened is this:
All students of Malay and Hindu his
tory know that one of the most horrid
customs in those countries is the poo
pootan," what l should like to call the
tribal suicide. A Bali prince, with the
instincts of his warrior race, declines to
surrender, but prefers death, and he
with all his people seek death. The
Prince of Badoeng did this. He turned
a deaf ear to all suggestion of settle
ment, but he and all connected with
him, men, women and children, commit
ted suicide.
Nearly the same thing happened in
1895 in Lombok, a neighboring island.
The old King had surrendered, but one
of his sons, a cripple, walked out with
his relatives. dressed in gorgeous car

Chautfeurs existed long before there

History tells us that along about the
year 1895 there Sprang up i'll France,
principally III the eastern and central re-
CONS. Enthusiastically dressed men with
their faces blackened with SCOT and their
eyes carefully concealed who gained ad-
mittance to farm HOUSES and other iso-

They had an atrocious habit especially,
from which they obtained the name that
p0sterity has preserved for them. They
first garroted their victims and dragged
them in front of a great fire, where
they burned the soles of their feet. Then
they demanded of them where their mon
ey and jewels were concealed. Such in

A TOMATO ORCHARD.
You Can Have One in Florida with To
mato Trees Fifteen Feet High.

If you could keep the frost away from
tomato vine for couple of years. it
would get to be a fair sized tree At
least the Texas Farmer says 50 and
claims that it actually occurs sometimes
IN tlorida-in years when the frost king
leaves that state alone.
by the same sign you can plant to-
matoes in winter in Florida and have
them grow all the spring and summer
and fail, and Ender the right conditions
they become very large. Tie midrib cf
the leaf of such a tomato plant will
grow TO be eighteen inches long, YER
table tree limb.
AS a result of having seven acres of
winter tomatoes frozen out during the
great freeze in Florida Ole grower
learned something about how they stake
tomatoes in Mississippi. lie tried three
quarters of an acre of it in Florida, and
the rows of tomato plants, hanging full
of fruit, looked like Il dwarf fruit
orchard.
1t takes lot of work, though, and
time to stake and prune tomatoes, but for
a kitchen garden supply, north or south,
especially if space is limited, the meth
cd is ideal. Six feet is the height to
which the tomatoes should be trained.
and pruned to a single stem. They can
be made to grow ten or fifteen feet as
we'll, but this is an inconvcnient height.
