sixty Thousand Seed. to the Plan


The common purslane is one of the
wonders of botany as far as seeds are
concerned. A single seed Of this plant
will produce about twenty seed pods
in season. The average number Of
seeds in each of these, by actual count,
is 5000, making 10000 in all. AS far
as we have been able to learn there is
no instance of similar fruitfulness in
any plant found growing in this coun-
try. A single plant Of either the James
town weed C'jimson"), the butterweed,
the ragweed and some of the vervines
produce an enormous number of seeds,
but it is doubtful If any one Of them
produces one-fourth as many in year
as the purslane does-St. Louis Re-
public.

The Iowa stockmen in session at Des
Moines last week voiced demand for
some reforms that will be worth much
to all the state if accomplished. The
resolutions adopted by the association
made demand for two cent railroad
fare for everybody; for law requiring
speedier transportation of stock trains
protesting against the present rate dis.
ordinations on live stock shipments
and against ship-subsidy bill. There
is no wool over the eyes of Iowa stock
men and grangers these days. They are
all posted and know what is what.

American Tourists and Their Way.

american tourists nnU Their Ways.
English people, as rule, try to en-
ter hotel drawing room or any other
public place as quietly as possible and
endeavor not to interfere with the
other occupants Of the room more than
they can help. A party Of French or
Germans will never dream Of stopping
to consider whether their piercing
voices are deafening their neighbors,
while Americans have particularly
maddening habit Of reading their cor
respondence aloud in public without
the slightest regard to other people
who are reading or conversing in the
same room. 1t is no doubt part of the
same lack of breeding which leads
them to hold conversations at the top
Of their very penetrating voices not
only in public picture galleries, but
also in continental churches, without
paying any attention to the fact that
solemn service may be going on
within a few yards Of them.-London
Modern Society.

Human Nose Two Feet In Length.
Elephantiasis is a peculiar form Of
leprosy in which the limbs and features
swell to horrible proportions and out
Of all semblance to the legs, arms and
faces Of human beings. Cases are
known where the legs have become so
swollen that they measured Az feet
in circumference. The ears of the same
victim, Walter Brisbane, an English
sailor, were eighteen inches in length,
and his nose elongated to upward Of
two feet when in the last stages of the
horrible malady.-London Telegraph.

Truly there is no pause in the persis-

ion have entered-the stepping stones

regnant with the promise and the
ptency of a richer and nobler fruitage

aboslt to enter. Luminous as has been
the past, it's light has penetrated only
the fringe of the dark mass of barbarism
sof ignorance, of poverty, which still
darkens large part of the world and
the under strata of society even in

world has made, even in our day, it has
brought us only to the foothills of the

The True Test of Oysters.

~The best oyster experts that know
Of" said the captain of an oyster boat,
Judge an oyster by the smell instead
of by the taste. There is something
about the smell Of any oyster that in
dicates it's condition to me much plain
err than does the TASTE People buy
them and eat them probably on ac-
count Of their taste. So also do they
buy tea, coffee and the various grades
of whisky and brandy for their taste,
but all experts on those things pass
upon them entirely by their smell. The
professional tea faster or whisky tast-
er, so called, never tastes them, but
simply arrives at their taste by their
peculiarities Of flavor or, to speak
plainly, smell. l can tell what price
load Of oysters will be rated at when
they arrive at the wharf here by open
ing up the hold Of the boat and smell
ing. In eight cases out of ten l am
right. 1t strikes oystermen as strange
when they see persons going about
from boat to boat, as they lie at the
wharf, tasting oysters before they con-
clude to buy. Taste is all right, but
if they don't smell right they will never
taste right. "-Washington Star.

TWO YEARS MORE FOR THE
WORLD.
York, Pennsylvania, Prophet Sees
a Dlreful Future.

York, Pa, Dec. Potts all over, or
soon will be. If you have enough
money in bank or in your clothes to
live two years, you might just as we'll
quit work and have good time.
Something big is going to happen. In
within two years.
If this story was "put up" in the
sporting department it would be la
beled zone best bet" They "dope"
things out in the sporting department.
That is, they figure on form do a
little handicapping, as it were. "Form'
is the thing.
And this is Lee j. Spangley, who has
form" down to the finest point when it
comes to foretelling the future. He
foretold the death of President Nc
Kinley, Queen Victoria and Mark Han
ma. After an early morning "tryout"
at the predicting game he said there
would be wars between the United
States and Spain, England and the
Transvaal, Russia and japan. The
easiest thing he ever did was to tell
about an earthquake going to destroy
most of San Francisco.
Now he says the stars will fall in
1908, King Edward will pass away as
the last king of England, New York will
be destroyed by fire, Russia will lose
her ear, Turkey her sultan, prominent
tinanciers will hang themselves, earth
quakes innumerable will be, many
towns will be destroyed, mothers-in-
law will be arrayed against daughters
in-law and the world will be destroyed.
Here is what Spangler prophesied
for 1906, only few Of which came true,
but he did hit the earthquake in Cali
fornia and the eruption of Mount
Vesuvius:
The dissolution of Russia.
The overflow of Turkey.
The assassination of the sultan of
Turkey.
The prevention of three wars by
President Roosevelt.
A protracted race war in the south.
Destructive spring floods in the
United States.
A destructive eruption of Mount
Vesuvius.
The activity of Mount Pelee and
Popocatepeli.
Volcanic eruptions in all parts of the
world.
The eruption of many volcanoes now
supposed to be extinct.
Great loss of life at sea by storms.
Destruction of two western cities by
cyclones.
Earthquakes in all parts of the world.
Destructive earthquake in California
and the Philippines.
Rebellion in Spain.
Great disturbance all over Europe.
Spangler said further that the sum-
mer of 1906 would be hot and] sultry
throughout the temperate zone, with
extensive death rates.
That God would wreak terrible VEN
geance upon the Russians for the mas
sacre of the Jews.

tablish selling agents, in Europe and America.
 An essential part of the scheme is the adoption of standard type of contract, classification of cotton by grade and color alone, the unit to be 50,0O0 pounds in stead of100, ,0o0 bales, net weight, and the handling of damp cotton under uniform rules. These points were embodied in the resolution presented by the com mlttee on relation, and these also wereunanimously adopted by the conference. Thus two long steps in the great work of the confer ence, the raising of the standard of cotton delivered to the spinner the simpler and more economical methods of handling, involving d saving, at conservative estimate, of something like S25, 100000 q year were taken.
