GOING TO COLLEGE.
A Story Of a Boyhood Experience Of
Gen Lew Wallace.

When William Wallace, the elder
brother of the late Lew Wallace, de-
parted for college, 80 miles from his
home, Lew was inconsolable. In a few
days the desire for his brothers COM
partnership got the mastery, and the
small boy resolved to find his big
brother. In his Autobiography" Gen.
Lew Wallace tells of the undertake
ing:
1t did not occur to me as the least
needful to have my fathers permits
sion to make the change of residence.
There was living in Covington an
uncle not greatly my senior in years
or wisdom. To my delight, | heard
he was going to Charlottesville. The
chance was too good to be lost.
| went out early in advance of him,
and lay in ambush for the traveller.
What are you doing here? he
asked.
waiting for you"
what for?"
Il want to go to Charlottesville with
you"
Have you any business there?"
Eyes, l want to go to college,"
ITO college!"
He fairly choked with laughter. His
good nature finally overcame his
%scruples, and letting me mount she
hind him, he logged on.
The pony was fat and slow, and of
prodigious breadth of beam. My legs
cramped, and l suffered in every bone
and muscle, but l set my teeth and
gave no sign.
About the middle of the afternoon
we drew up in front of the basement
entrance to the college, and unloading
me, my relative pushed on to town.
A benevolent looking old man is
sued from the door, followed by half
a dozen young men Small wonder
that they viewed me askance. My
straw hat, ragged and rain-stained,
hung to the back of my head, and al
lowed my shocky hair the greatest lib
erty. My feet were bare and un-
washed. My trousers hung depend
ent upon a single %suspender of cloth
listing" My shirt, guiltless Of a
button, offered a display of neck and
breast red as a Mohawk Indians
The benevolent-looking gentleman
inquired: Where are you from, my

"Covington," I answered.
whats your name?"
Lew Wallace"
"a son of Gov. Wallace?"
Eyes"
ANY friends here?"
"Only William"
What do you expect to do"
go to college, if I like it,"
The circle hemming me in broke
into a laugh that put a stop to the
inquisition. In the midst of the fun
my brother appeared, himself a model
of attire and department. To his
credit, be it said, he did not disown
me.
why, Lew, when did you Gomez
he asked, taking my hand.
Just now"
What for?"
"To be with you and go to college"
There were tears in the good fell
lows eyes as he led me off to his
boarding house.

other thread, also pulled tight, it cuts
like a knife.
A good string must be long enough
to let the kite ascend a thousand
yards, light enough to let the kite bear
it at that height, and fine enough to
cut another string.
Making a kite requires as much care
as choosing the string, says the cor
respondent of the New York World.
The kite has to sweep through the air
with the swiftness of a swallow. There
fore it must be small, extremely light
and strong enough not to tear as 1t
rushes against the wind; for the edges
are not turned over and gummed down
all around, as they are in our kites.
In such a kite the balancing is a far
more delicate operation than in large
and heavy kites. Two pieces of bam-
boo are taken, thinner than a goose
quill, and are scraped even and
smooth.
These are shown in the diagram
as A, B, and G, E, F, D. They are laid
on a square which is from II to 16
inches square. No Irvine is used in
the making, but the bent stick is kept
in position with four small pieces of
paper gummed on at the points G, E,
F, D. The straight stick is similarly
fastened at the ends, but the piece OF
paper at B is two or three inches long
and triangular, for it acts as a light
rudder.
The kite has no tail. The exposed
edges of the paper along E, A, F and
C, B, D are not bound or protected in
any way and have to bear a consider
able strain when the kite makes a
dash against the wind.
A small piece of paper is also fas-
tened at G, where n end of the loop
of thread is tied, to which the long
string is attached. The other end OF
the loop is tied at the crossing of the
pieces of bamboo.
The diagram shows the back of the
kite; the loop is on the other side on
the face.
The best kite of this kind that can
be made does not cost more than n
anna, that is, two cents, although
wealthy kite fighters pay as much as a
dollar to a man who pretends he can
make a kite which will be unconquer-
able.
Kite fighters are most careful about
the balance of their kites, and when a
kite seems all right in the hand, their
intent eyes notice a fault as it flies.
and, pulling it down again, they add
a piece of paper the size of a postage
stamp or a small twist of cotton to
one side, or they pare one of the
sticks, and so get the balance per-
fectly true.

FIannels.

Flannels that have become badly
yellowed through neglect may be
whitened in this way: Boil four table
spoonfuls flour in four quarts of wa
ter, stirring free from Jumps. Pour
one-half this mixture over the f1annels,
cover and let them stand a half hour.
Rub with the hands, but use no soap.
Rinse the f1annels in clear water of
the same temperature, then heat the
remainder of the liquid and pour over
the flannel again. Proceed as before,
rinse thoroughly, then hang out to
drain and dry. Never hang flanneis in
cold or frosty air, as that always
shrinks them.

Oriental Garments Are Costly, But Elk
tremely Pretty.

There is an extraordinary demand
at present for oriental garments, espe-
cially the national costume of China
and Japan.
"The Chinese coats which were the
popular opera wraps of last season
have been replaced this winter by real
mandarin coats, imported direct from
China, which vary in price from $25
to $500" said a city dealer.
"A few years ago Chinese coats and
Japanese kfmonos were used as dress
ing jackets and gowns. Now they
take the place of the theater or ball
wrap and the tea gown. The most
elaborate wraps are heavily orna-
mented in gold and silver. We re-

Tobacco Statistics,

The total sales of leaf tobacco on
the Louisville market, Jan. 1 to March
81, 1907, were 50,329 hogsheads,
against 60, 752 hogsheads sold during
corresponding period last year. The re
jections during these three months
were 1894 hogsheads, against 6,93S
hogsheads rejected during first three
months of last year.
OF the total sales this year, $500
hogsheads were Burley and 14,709
hogsheads dark tobacco. Up to March
81, we had sold of the 1906 crop 81
as hogsheads.

Size of EqqS.

For several days the Indiana pa
pers have contained accounts of eggs
of enormous size laid by Industrious
and en~terprising hens. Harry Albert
has a Plymouth Rock hen which has
supposed the record. A few days ago
this hen is said to have laid at his
home, 1909 East Oak street, New AL
bany, an egg that measured S4 inches
in circumference from end to end and
6A inches at the center. 1t weighed
over a half pound and was equal in
bulk tc a half dozen ordinary eggs.
When broken it was found to contain
another egg perfect in every way and
of the usual size.

Fruit Seriously DAMAGED.

According to reports from different
parts of the state the Kentucky fruit
crop has been materially damaged
by the recent cold snap. The fruit is
said to have been destroyed in some
localities. 1t is thought the damage
to the crops will be more serious be-
cause of the exceedingly warm wealth
or which prevailed for two weeks be-
fore the cold came, affording the trees
a fine chance to bud. 1t is not be-
lieved that the middle west will ex-
p~erience another cold season equal in
severity to the one just passed.

To Care for Turkish Rugs.

If Turkish rugs are left on the floor
through the summer-and they are
quite as well there as anywhere, a
weekly exposure to the fresh air and
sunshine, with a good brushing with a
stiff broom, will be all that is neces-
sary. If they are soiled. a thorough
washing every year or two will keep
them in splendid condition. If large
they are better sent to a rug cleaner;
but small rugs may be washed at
home, using cold or lukewarm water,
a scrubbing brush and any good soap.
Rinse well and hang in the open air
to dry. If one has a hose the rinsing
is more easily accomplished by turn.

Tennessee the canteloupe State.

The increased acreage put into
canteloupes this season is surprising.
In Lawrence county the acreage has
persistently increased for the past
three years, and it looks as if the
agricultural classes are now more
aroused than at any former time.
Hundreds of new acres were
planted on the first of April that never
smelled a delicious Rocky Ford be-
fore. Many country people, too, have
caught the melon enthusiasm and are
turning their corn fields into .ante-

The man who claims that it costs
no more to keep a pure-bred COW than
it does a scrub makes a mistake. 1t
does cost more to keep a p%ure-bred,
if she is a heavy producer. At the On
tario experiment station last year the
COW that gave the largest milk yield
cost $47.33 for her feed, while the low
est producer was only $22.12. But the
best COW gave a profit of $117.1S over
the cost of food.

India knows nothing of flying kites
