HERE'S NEW KIND OF BURGLAR
Leaves Typewriter Note of ExpIana-
ton and Also Appreciation.

France has a fairly representative
inals, but the typewriter burglar is a
novelty.
He broke into a flat of an apart
ment house in Toulouse the other day
and left the following letter neatly
typewriter on machine in the
room:
Dear Sir and Colleague think by
your untidiness that you are not a
lady, but untidiness means a busy
man. So | congratulate you. l can
see that you are professional typist,
like myself, and guessing that you
were one | looked into your box of pa
pers for your keys and naturally
found them there.
II have emptied the drawers of your
table, out of which l have taken fir.
2.10 al cents). This is a low price
for an evenings work, but l have also
carried off some of your work, which
| will study at my leisure.
Some of your translations are quite
good; | do a little of it myself in my
spare moments. l am not taking your
machine, for you and | know how very
nearly impossible it is to sell a sec
ond-hand typewriter.
you will forgive me, my dear col
league, for not signing this letter, and
you need not fear return visit from
me- There is nothing worth taking ir
your rooms"

Measures Hardness of Metals.

An instrument to measure the hard
ness of metals has been recently de-
vised, more especially designed and
found very useful in the manufacture
of tools like twist drills, where the
hardness has to be kept between mar
row limits. 1t consists of glass tube,
within which a steel ball of 10 grains
weight, treated by a special process
so as to have jewel hardness. falls
freely. The height of the rebound of
the ball measures the hardness of the
metal it strikes. Were the area of
contact between the dropped weight
and the metal larger, so that no APP
preciable dent We're made the rebound
would be a measure OF elasticity rath-
CT than hardness. The height of the
rebound is measured on a scale OF
which 100 is the average hardness OF
carbon steel, which is also found to be
the SAFETY limit for steel tools after
reheauns and tempering ready foi
use.

Indians, Bia Catch of Salmon.

The catch of Quinault salmon this

Seventy-fve thousand fish We're de

their frail canoes and then setting
their nets. Hundreds of fish We're
caught in the lagoons where they had

This enormous catch was made by

reached the lowest level known in
Egypt since 1877 and but for the ex-
istcnce OF the great dam at Assuan

pounded by it to supplement the low

Fish Chased Ashore by Whales.

A serious menace to health is
threatened at Nahant by the large
quantity of fish which have been
thrown up on the beaches and rocks
following, it is believed, the appear
ance of porpoises and large fish, sup
posed to be whales.
Although the fishermen gather them
as fast as the tide recedes, many are
overlooked. 1t is the opinion of the
natives that the fish, which include
mackerel, hake, pollock and herring,
all small in size, have been forced
ashore by the larger fish, which have
invaded the waters ently.-Boston

PENSIONS FOR LIFEsAVERs.

Congress will do well carefully to consider
the suggestion that fair provision be made for
the old age, or period of infrmities, of men
who patrol the coast and at the call of dis
tress risk their lives in order to save other
lives and property. These men are none too
well paid while in their prime; they are treat
ed unfairly during the summer recess; and
it is not surprising that the government stead
lily loses their invaluable training because they
must get work and larger income in the in
dustries. Of course, there is natural hesitation
about beginning civil pension system, but if
the government refuses to give adequate pay
during service, the least it can do is to care
for it's heroes in their old age. If the life
savers do nto deserve pensions what sort of
men do deserve them ?-Boston Herald.

THE NIGHTR1DERs AND THEIR CAUSE.

1t is a common occurrence to see IN the
daily papers reports Of a raid by the Night
riders. They are so called because their raids
take place in the night. Without previous
notice they will ride into town, commit the
acts Of lawlessness they came to commit, and
ride away again without anyone knowing who
they were and whence they came. Their field
of operation is in Kentucky and Tennessee,
in the district known as the "Black Patch. "
The "Black Patch !" is the local name given
to section embracing thirty counties in Ken
lucky and twenty-one in Tennessee, on account
of the very dark, heavy tobacco which it pro-
duces This black tobacco is too strong for
the American or English stomach, but is in
great demand in all the countries Of southern
Europe. Until few years ago the tobacco
markets in Hopkinsville, Paducah, Mayfeld
and other Kentucky towns, and in Clarks-
vile and Nashville, Tenn, were crowded with
buyers there to represent Italy, France, Spain,
Austria, Hungary and the merchants Of the
free city of Hamburg. Buying was done at
the warehouses in open bidding
Prices were high, the ruling price being in
the neighborhood of fifteen cents per pound.
Then the tobacco trust invaded the field. BY

GEN. HENRY LEES EULOGY ON
WASHINGTON.
D. H. SLOAN.

Gen. George Washington died at his estate
in Mount Vernon, Virginia, Saturday, Deem
Der a. 1899, one hundred and eight years ago.
He was buried on Wednesday, the 18th, when
his personal friend and eulogist, Gen. Henry
Lee, Of Virginia, declared in impassioned
tones:
His fame survives, bounded only by the
limits of the earth and by the extent Of the hu-
man mind He survives in our hearts, in
the growing knowledge of our children, in
the affections of the good throughout the
world. And when our monuments shall be
done away, when nations now existing shall be
no more, when even our young and farspread-
ing empire shall have persisted, still will our
WashingtOn's glory unfaded shine, and die
not until love Of virtue ceases on earth or earth
itself sinks into chaos.''
Although century has passed, Washington
is still first in the hearts of his countrymen
and his "young and farspreading empire - has
reached pinnacle Of development even his
great wisdom could not have foreseen-Maga-
zine Of American History.

THE JEFFERSONIAN.

buyers disappeared except those who were act
ing as agents for the trust and they contln-
ually lowered the price until for the same
quality of tobacco for which the growers had
received fifteen cents per pound only few
years ago they were offered but three cents.
This was far less than the actual cost of pro-
duction, and the once prosperous tobacco
growers saw ruin staring them in the face.
Then the growers organized, forming what
is called the Dark Tobacco Planters Protect
i've Association. The association managed to
borrow enough money to build its own ware
houses, store the crop and wait until buyer
came who would offer the right price. In time
the European governments had to have tobac-
co, and the price was raised again until it
reached about $12 for the same grade which
had once been $15 and had been hammered
down to So.
The Trust resorted to the usual trust meth
DDS to crush out opposition. It's agents were
instructed not to buy tobacco from an asso-
citation warehouse at any price, but to pay
premium upon the associations price for to-
bacco sold them by independent growers and
such members of the association as would
ton. Cupidity or necessity caused about one
half of the tobacco to be sold in this manner,
leaving the members of the association with
their tobacco unsold and no buyer for it. Then
the night riding began. Towns were entered
and the warehouses Of the trust were burned
and employees of the trust maltreated. The
plantations of the scabs who had sold to the
trust were visited, and the seed beds de-
stroyed This could reasonably be charged
to the members Of the association. But the
plantations Of associations members also were
visited by nightriders who committed like acts
Of destruction. AS association members could
not in reason be charged with this it appears
that there are two sets of nightriders, each
destroying the property of the other, and that
the tobacco trust, having obtained monopo-
ly Of the tobacco trade and having put down
the price to one-third its former figures is re-
sponsible for it ALL
It is a war between the tobacco growers
and the trust How it will end nobody can
tell Already several million dollars worth
Of property has been destroyed. Troops have
been called out and portion of the "Black
Patch" section is under martial law. Cover
nor Wilson, the newly elected executive of
Kentucky, has been trying to arrange COM
promise between the warning interests, but
so. far without success, and the nightriding
continues. A large section Of two states is
suffering ali the horrors and destruction of
warfare, production is fearfully hampered,
and instead of prosperity and contentment
