AN ILL FATED SHIP.
Mystery and Tragedy That Encom-
passed the Greet Eastern.


There was a mystery abou nat iii
fated ship. Nothing went right with
her She stuck at the launch, and 1t
cost an extra $350,000 over and above
the sum set aside for the purpose to
get her into the water. On her trial
trip her boilers burst, killing some of
the stokers. Then she ran aground
and carried on so outrageously that
her crew thought her surely bewitched.
She had started badly. While she was
building pay clerk sent by one Of
the contractors with $4,000 in wages
for the men disappeared. 1t was not
unnaturally assumed that he had bolt
ed with the money. His wife and
family were left unprovided for, with
the stigma of his supposed crime upon
them.
Thirty years after her launch the
Great Eastern went into the cemetery
at Birkenhead to be broken up. While
she was being taken to pieces the ship
breakers discovered between her inner
and outer castings of steel the skeleton
of a man. Papers which had fallen
from his clothes enabled his Identity
to be traced 1t was the skeleton of
the pay clerk who thirty years before
had disappeared. There was no mon
ey; that was never recovered.
The supposition is that the poor fell
low on going on to the ship was pounc-
ed upon by workmen who knew that
he had the money with him; that they
stunned him and, having small place
in the side of the vessel to complete,
| crammed his body in and built him up
in it. No reward would have induced
sailor to sail in that vessel had he
known of the terrible secret sealed up
In her walls.-Chicago News.

THE "C0UP De JARNAc."
A French Adase and the Incident Upon
Which II Rests.

The .'coup de Jarnac" has become a
French proverb, and 1t serves to dis
tinguish a stroke as decisive as un-
foreseen which intervenes for the set
tlement of any affair. The adage rests
upon an incident In the life OF Gui
Chabot, Seigneur de Jarnac, a noble
OF the court of Francis l. The lie pass
ed between him and LIE Chateigneraie,
the dauphin's favorite. King Francis,
however, forbade the duel. At the sue
cession Of Henry III. the old quarrel
was revived, and the overdue duel was
fought on the plain of St. German
with all the formality Of the ancient
judicial combats and In the presence
of the whole court. Jarnac was weak
er and less agile than bis adversary,
who was one Of the noted swordsmen
Of the time, but he had taken lessons
from an italian bravo. In the duel
Jarnac waited for an opening and
then dealt La Chatelgneraie a heavy
and unexpected stroke which ham

In Place Of Cedar Wood.
Consul Frank S. Hannah. Of Madge-
burg, furnishes the following infor.
nation concerning a new German
composition to take the place Of cedar
in the manufacture of lead pencils: ~
About two and one-half years ago
a small company was formed to per-
feet and exploit an invention which,
instead Of making use OF the expen-
sive cedar wood, substitutes a com
pact mass. the main ingredient Of
which Is potatoes The invention has
finally been perfected and the pen
ellis are being manufactured in large
quantities preparatory to being placed
on the market
II have seen and used some OF
these pencils, which, while slightly
heavier are the same in size. form
and appearance as those at present
in use, admit Of sharpening i little
more easily, and can be produced at
very nominal figure. A permanent
company was founded in March at
Berlin, acting under patents in four
teen countries, with a capital Of 1884,
700, of which $4,000 represents the
costs of patents, while $59,5O0 has
been retained for working capital.
OF the working capital $4,000 will
be used in erecting factory, with
six presses and daily output of 49,.
900 pencils. The cost of manufact-
ure, all expenses included-rent,
light, power, wages, composition,
lead, selling cost, etc-is estimated
at $00O92S. A second quality pencil
will be made, whose cost will be
only sO.OO595.
"At the estimated production Of
$4,000 pencils day three hundred
working days year the yearly pro-
duction would be 14,400,000 pencils.
According to recent statistics, the ex-
port from Germany to foreign coun-
tries, equalled 1876 tons, with the
total number of pencils at S,033,200,-
600.
"The cedar wood used at presen.
in the manufacture of lead pencils
is expensive and the quantity limit
ed, while on the other hand, the
cultivation of potatoes is advancing
each year For these reasons this
invention may mark the beginning OF
a new era in the production Of lead
pencils"

uMsAvoRY TRADE METHODS.
Chinese Commerce Injured Ly I'm.
scrupuIous American Adventures.

]. L. Rodgers, American Consul
General at Shanghai. .deplores the
methods practised by certain class
of INSCRIPTIONS Americans who have
been operating in China and impos-
ing upon it's people to the detriment
of American trade. He says:
There are many things which can
be given as current reasons for re-
tarding American trade in the Orient.
The advent of class of Americans
like those who came from Manila af-
ter brief experience there, and
those who tried their fortunes in con-
nection with the events Of the Russo
Japanese war, has done great deal
to injure the American name and
reputation with the Chinese. This
class, unusually INDECENT, has, by rea-
son of imposition upon the Chinese,
destroyed to some extent a conf
dence which has existed for many
years and which had borne good
fruit. Inadequate laws, under tho
extra-territorial right, are largely re-
sponsible for, such condition, since
the consular. officer is rendered prac-
tically powerless in the most import
ant cases those calling for the re-
turn of fugitives from justice.
However, this class in all the i'm
portant treaty ports is being reduced
to a minimum, owing to the restOra-
ton of peace and the growing inn
preston that China is no longer re-
garded as a paradise for the fugitive
from America, the camp follower, the
adventurer from Manila and the pro-
verbal beachcomber indigenous to
this part of the world. Nevertheless
there are good reasons for saying
that every American firm which con-
templates sending representative to
China should be very certain of his
character, and, other things being
equal, should choose the quiet, order
ly person rather than the reverse
type, in spite of the current opinion
that such are indicted for the Orient"

J. All nurserymen bud their cher

the stocks are in thrifty growing
condition, usually in this latitude
about August If the stocks are of
Mazzard variety, it is generally nee
essary to do it earlier than if of the
Mahaleb variety, as the latter usu-
ally continues to grow later in the
season. If cherries are to be grated,

MARSH CROPS ON UpLANDs.

Celery we all know is plant that
likes humus-laden moist land, hence
people who have not tried, calmly
state as fact the cheerful fiction
that celery cannot be raised on
market garden soil much above the
water level. Having raised the sweet
est and crispest in our back yard,
which has been titled for century or
so as a vegetable garden, we have no
hesitancy in planting various varie-
ties at No. l experiment station of
the Long Island Railroad, having
been assured it would not even grow,
but we took second prize at the coun-
ty fair with this celery. No. sta
ton, according to the U. S. Geologi-
cal Survey, is 112 feet above the sea
level, therefore it required very lit
tie nerve to plant a small patch of
celery at station No. 2. Although
the soil is somewhat lighter, the alti-
tude is only sixty-four feet above sea
level. Humus is absolutely and en-
tirely lacking, caused mainly be the
annual forest fires" due to cheerful
neglect of precaution by neighbors
burning brush to the north of us, in
that section of the island at present
given over mainly to cord wood in
dustry. A shallow ditch was dug.
humus was furnished by barnyard
manure, celery plants set out, and oc-
casionally, or to be more exact, semi
occasionally, the irrigation sprayers
were turned on the celery plants, and,
as is the ambition of all plant life,
they grew and station No. 2 turned
out celery that holds its own in COM
petition with that grown anywhere.
We shall continue to grow celery at

sells well and makes an excellent va
riety for the now noted Long Island

PLANTING OF TREES

Fall is presumed to be the best
time to set shade as we'll as fruit
trees, although there are some strong
advocates of spring planting. In
either event it is q certain mistake
to expect that trees demand no at
tention after planting. If it is ex-
pected that the tree is to- grow rapid
ly and produce either fruit or shade
in short time, it needs good cultiva-
ton as well as any other crop-dig-
ging around the trunk three or four
times a season, or if the trees are in
rows, shallow blowing and cultivat-
ing. 1t should be remembered that
trees make practically all their
growth before the middle of summer
and the constant stirring of the sur
face soil in the spring, provides aer-
alton and affords the roots the use of
much moisture which would other
wise evaporate. American Cultiva.

WATCH FOR SAN JOSE SCALE.

1t will be we'll to remember that
the San Jose and other scales are
capable of doing some of their most
serious damage to our fruit and or
namental trees. Prof. j. B. Smith
once suggested a very easy proof of
this. Cut a scale infested branch
from a living tree. In a few months
the scales will all be dead, while
those yet remaining on the tree will
be living. Clearly the scale lived on
the juices it was able to suck. Other
commoner trees and shrubs, which so
into the winter in fair condition, are
dead by the spring, having sue
cumbed to the effects of scale, when
perhaps want of water or lack of
hardness has been ascribed. There
