President Buchanan had the mis-
fortune to be in a position which re-
quired qualities which he did not pos
sess, yet he had some fine traits. 1t
has recently been disclosed that in
1859 railroad company sent him
pass over its lines. He returned
1t with the statement that it had
been the practice of his life to pay
his fare because he vhls opposed 10
the whole system of granting priv
ileges to persons not connected with
the railroads. 1t has taken more
than years for this feeling to be-
come strong enough to induce con.
gress to prohibit the issuing of passes
on interstate railroads.

About this time" as the almanacs
used to say there is always a fren-
zied cry for help from the harvest
fields of the west This year the
same cry has been echoed from the
east. Even in some parts of thickly
settled New England, offers of $2.75
a day have failed to procure enough
men to harvest the hay crop. Fa-
theirs whose sons feel that they are
in need of new tennis rackets, golf
clubs or home gymnasium appar-
atus. says Youths Companion, should
paste this bit of information in the
sons hats.

A New York millionaire is reported
to have gone to his boyhood home in
Indiana, bought the old barn door on
which in youth he had carved his ini-
tials, and moved it to New York, to be
set up somewhere in his city house.
His "reminiscences must be of an un-
usually cheerful kind. To most men
the old barn door of their youth was
the drop-curtain to scenes which they
do not care to recall.

Hastings. Neb.-Two children of II.
II. Mohlman. aged two and five years,
respectively, were instantly killed in
peculiar manner at the farm home
of Fred Grothen, five miles northwest
of this city.
Mohlman was assisting Grothen in
scooping grain from a wagon TO the
bin after hauling it from the machine
When the children came from the
home across the road they sat down
in the shade of the sranary while the
men were emptying the wagon.
The children had been seated but n
moment on the ground, when the side
of the big bin, containing 1000 bush
els of wheat, gave way, covering the
babies several feet in depth, and be-
fore the grain could be shoveled away
both were dead.
There are four other children in the
family, one younger and three older
than the two deceased.

A well-known illustrator who visited
New Orleans grew most enthusiastic
with reference to the quaint beauty of
the old town. II noticed a remarkably
decorative effect in a street near the
French Market" said he to a friend.
"The second and third story windows
Of certain house were hung with pale
yellow bamboo curtains. These were
perfectly plain and all OF the same
shade, yet you can form no idea how
they set off the old place. They simply
glorifled It'll"
The friend, a New Orleans man, was
puzzled II don't recall the house.
Point 1t out to me the next time we're
In that vicinity"
A day or two later the friends were
walking In the locality referred to,
when suddenly the man from the North
uttered an exclamation. "There it Is 7"
he cried. THE house Of the bamboo
curtains 1t must contain a COLONY of
artists!
His friend smiled grfmly. THAT isn't
bamboo" he explained. You're en-.
thusing over a spaghetti factory. They
hang the stuff out there to dry!"

'To the ingenuity OF Herr Emil Cla-
viez, well-known Saxon inventor and
manufacturer, is due the production of
a paper yarn termed "Zylolln," that
has been successfully used in a wide
range of textile fabrics" So writes
Frank N. Bauskett in the Technical
World Magazine.
'The utilization Of paper wood fibre
In this practical way and the extreme
cheapness of the new material conn
pared with other yarns now in use is
really a most remarkable achievement.
This Is not haphazard discovery, but
rather the logical result Of years Of
palnstaking study and experimentation.
After the final development of the the
ory at first in mind into tangible ma
terial for all manner of uses in textile
industries, the paper thread and yarn,
loose or tightly spun, Of all thicknesses,
have since been woven into almost ev-
cry conceivable fabric and tested and
retested until the invention has become
an important commercial success. The
paper yarn has extraordinary wearing
properties, and as the full scope Of its
usefulness has probably not been deter
mined, 1t will, In all likelihood, lend
itself to other purposes yet to be dis
covered"

The Peanut Trade,

Peanuts have become an important
article Of American foreign commerce
in the last six years, especially on the
import side, In spite Of the fact that we
produce about 100000 bushels year.
Peanut imports have grown In value
from $1,000 in 1900 to $4,000 this
year, while our exports thereof will ap-
proxtmate 100000 When this fiscal
year closes we shall have to list pea
nuts for nearly 100000 Of our total
foreign commerce for the year, accord
ing to the Bureau Of Statistics, of the
Department Of Ommerce and Labor.
The peanut acreage in this country
increased 100 per cent and production
233 per cent between 1890 and 1900.
There are under cultivation now b17,-
600 acres, producing 11,905, 900 bushels
The crop Is concentrated in a few
Southern States, Virginia supplying
one-third Of 1t, North Carolina another
third.-New York Sun.

Growfng Cucumbers for Pickliag.
Factories for picking cucumbers are
being established wherever the farm
ers can be Induced to become interest
ed. Small pickles, not over 21a inches
long, usually bring about so cents per
bushel, bushel containing about 800
pickles. The average yield is estimated
at 100 bushels per acre, though sew
eral hundred bushels may be grown
upon an acre. The mlldew destroys the
vines In some sections, but this Is kept
down by spraying. The striped cucum-
Der beetle, which can not be destroyed
by paris green or ordinary insecticides,
Is formidable enemy where 1t makes
Its appearance. The long green varie-.
ties of cucumbers are used. Plenty of
manure should be applied. A fertilizer
consisting of one part nitrogen, one
part phosphorlc acid and two parts of
potash is about the proper formula for
cucumbers. Cucumbers are salted with
two quarts of salt per bushel of cucum-
bers, packed closely In tierces or bar
rels, and enough brine added to cover
them. The brine should be added daily,
as evaporation lowers the water In
the vessel and exposes the cucumbers,
which may damage them. Growers can
cooperate, form joint stock company.
and sell the pickles on the market,
thus securing the largest profit possi-
BILE from growing them.
