MAMMOTH
CABBAGES
Largest on Earth Grown
In Famed kimbres
Valley.

Mr.. Sim Ebey presented The
Graphic last Monday with the
largest head of cabbage we ever
saw in all the days of our life.
The cabbage tips the scales with
graceful ease at Is lbs, and most
people might think it has the
big head" just because it hap
pened to be born in the famous
Mimbres Valley. While the
cabbage head in all its ponderous
glory would be excusable for
entertaining vain, egotistical ideas
that might cause such an abnor-
NAL state, yet we know it to be a
fact that this particular cabbage
came rightly by its big head by
reason of the wonderful fertility
of the Mimbres Valley soil, ard
to say it was not the genuine
article would cause it to rise up in
wrathful Indignation and smite
you to the earth a bleeding, shape
less mass Of humanity.
Mr.. Ebey has a fine place up on
the Rio Mimbres and is one of the
old standbys Of this country He
came here about the time Cook s
Peak was first kissed by the
glad rays Of the morning sun
and has been happy over it ever
since. He had a wagon load Of
his fine cabbage in town and was
not long in selling them out.
The entire lot were very fine fe!-
lows and the equal of any ever
grown on earth, and the Mimbres
Valley is worthy of uplifting
commenda,,n for The fine prod
uct.
Through the kindness of Mr..
Ebey we expect to have cabbage
on hand for the balance of our
life, even though we outwit the
three score years and ten.

THRILLING
EXPERIENCE
Passenger Narrowly Cheats
Death by Falling
Under Train.

A fearful tragedy was narrow
ly ayertcd at the union depot
last Friday when No. 8 pulled
out for the coast. When the
train came in passenger, who
got Off with a number of others,
entered the lunch room of the
depot and was still adding to the
joy of the inner man when the
train pulled out. Rushing pei
mel out Of the depot he ran to
the train and tried to board it,
but instead was thrown head
long under the car onto the
track. A shudder of horror ran
through the crowd when they
saw the man fall, as it looked as
if no power on earth could save
him from a horrible death. How
ever, the train was moving slow
ly at the time, and before the
rear trucks Of the car could run
him down, having fallen back of
the front trucks, he had pulled
himself from under the train and
out Of danger. The crowd gave
a mighty cheer when they saw
the man fairly leap from the
jaws Of death. The train was
stopped as soon as possible and
the passenger resumed his jour
ney. 1t was impossible to secure
the gentleman's name. However,
in all likelihood he was too badly
frightened to have told it.

Few stop to consider the amount Of
labor performed daily by the human
heart The inexhaustible supply Of en-
ergy displayed by this oyerworked or
gan is marvellous Calculation has
shown that the work of the heart of
an average person Is equal to the feat
of lifting over five tons at the rate of
foot an hour or 1875 tons in twenty
four hours A certsin DR. Richardson
once made a curious calculation In re-
gard to the work performed by the
heart in mileage. He presumed that
the blood was forced out of the heart
at each palpitation in the proportion of
sixty-nine strokes a minute and at the
assumed distance of nine feet At this
rate the flow of the blood through the
body would be POI yards a minute, or
seven miles an hour This would make
ITO miles day. or $1,000 miles a year
Thus In a lifetime Of eightyfour years
the blood in the human body would
travel over 100000 miles. The num-
Der of beats Of the heart required to
send the blood that far would be over
3,OO0.0OOO00

distinguishing one John or William

necessary. Mechanics derived from

from some personal popularity were
tackled on to his Christian name. and
plain John became John Smith As
yet there We're no minister's" in the
land. Some John Smith accumulated
more wealth than the bulk of his fell
lows-became perhaps a landed pro
prietor or an employer of hired labor.
Then he began to be called in the Nor
man-French of the day the 'maistre"
of this place or that, Of these work
men or Of those In the time the
"maistre." or MASTER as it soon be-
came got tackled on before his name.

any kindly mere possession OF wealth

less consideration and Importance.

In the article on the GlenRarry
branch Of the Macdonalds James Loe
gan, in his The Clans of the Scottish
Highlands" says:
AT the castle Of Aros the lords of
the isles held their parliament and
passed the regal DEGREES, which distant
tribes were bound to respect. The SIM
pie form In which important rights
were conveyed by these princes may
be illustrated by the following brief
but binding charter, which loses In
translation from the original Gaelic:
L, Donald, the chief of the Macdon-
aids, sitting on the hill of Dun Donald,
give the MacAodh a full right to Kill
mahomag from this day till tomorrow,
and so on forever A lesson was af-
forded by one of these lords which
might greatly benefit some stickiers
for presidency. He had at banquet
been placed by mistake at the bottom
of the table. on perceiving which con-
siderable emotion arose among the
company, who dreaded the conse-
quences Of the supposed indignity, but
the great ceanncinnidh (head of his

sions by eXclaiming emphatically.

Hannibal HamIIn's First Try For the
United States Senate.
When Hannibal Hamlin was speaker
of the Maine house of representatives,
away back in the forties of the last
century, there was in that body GER
tain gentleman of faultless attire,
pleasing manners, good address and
some reputation, but he had one foible.

had habit of carefully stroking with
bandoline or other preparation each

while in the chair as speaker Mr.. Ham

smooth and polished pate, said with a
chuckle:

hairs of your head crossed over the
other"
You insult me, sir You insult me!'
Aepleu lue ueluDeT, Will unexpected
and altogether unnecessary indigna-

to reason or explanation, he left the
speakers desk and returned to his seat.
When Mr.. Hamlin became a candi-
date for the United States senate this
gentleman was member of the upper
house of the Maine legislature. AL
though a member of the same party
and only one more vote was needed to
secure Mr.. Hamlin's election, he posi-
lively refused to vote for the man by
whom he believed he had been insulted.
He was defeated for a seat in the
senate-by hair, but when the next
