This story OF the mysterious disap-
poarauce that made president was
told 10 me by the late Judge Noah il
Davis a year or two before his death.

Judge that long before their national
convention met IN Philadelphia In 1888

Taylor was from Louisiana, and aa

Chinese Egg Examiner.

The artificial incubation of ducks eggs
is II thriving industry in some parts of
China, more particularly in Canton,
where a large and ready market encour-
ages the business. The first thing to be
done is TO secure suitable eggs, and this
is done by men who devote themselves
entirely to the task during the summer
months. The examiner sQuats on the
ground and holding the egg up to the
light, turns it round and judges its suita-
bility by the state of the she'll and the
clearness of its contents.
The least appearance Of cloudiness en-
tails its rejection, SO particular is the ex-
aminer, but nevertheless only from per
cent. to 10 per cent. of the eggs are re-
jected; none over seven days old are ac-
cepted. The skillful examiner can deal
with 6000 eggs i'll a day. The selected
eggs are placed in shallow, saucer shaped
baskets with q lid similarly shaped, and
each basket is set upon a wickerwork
cylinder over a stove in q darkened room
heated by charcoal braziers.--F

led into the cyclorama of Gettysburg

tail occasionally asking her a ques-
ton or shaking his head slowly as If

count. She had described to him In
her own way the on-rush Of Pickett s
men and the hand-to-hand conflict at
the stone fence where the Pennsylva-
MIA veterans met the charge OF the
Southerners, when no asked, But

The Future of Flight.

At present we cannot certainly fore
tell whether transit by air will in a few
years more be as common as travelling
by train today, or whether it is likely to
be confined to certain limited purposes
Of business, warfare or pleasure. 1t
seems at least possible that the mental
effect on humanity may be as great as
the material advantage. Men swan be-
fore they sailed, and drove the horse be-
fore they harnessed steam. But the hui
man frame unaided was incapable Of
mounting into the air: and the old legend
of Icarus long stood for the type of a
universal but unrealizable dream. The
development of the machine heavier than
air promises to bring actual fight with
in the reach of mankind In a way which
has never been suggested by the balloon,
and at comparatively small cost. If flight
becomes the habit Of civilized man, 1t is
conceivable that it may supply him with
a new force of mental inspiration.-Lon-
don Times.

Kentucky's Biggest Cornield.

The biggest cornfield in the state Of
Kentucky is now being laid by. 1t is
the field outlined by the gigantic horse
shoe sweep of the Ohio river from Hen
derson round past Evansville to Green

corn continuously for 5000 or 1000 acres,
unbroken by fences, unrelieved by any
other crOp-no hay, no tobacco, oats or
wheat-just corn, corn, corn, and then
more corn.
1t is estimated that over 100000 bush.
els of corn will be raised In this monster
tract this year, and this is in spite of
the fact that the farmers were scared
out of years growth by the high water
and for a time were not quite sure
whether the high water would let them
raise any corn.

LIGHT CATCH OF FURs.
Reports from the North Indicate That
Fine Pelts Are Extremely Scarce

Reports from the North Indicate That
Fine Pelts Are Extremely Scarce
That there is going to be a very light
fur catch all through the north this year
seems a certainty, according TO adviees
just received.
White. black and red foxes are very
much scarcer than ever before. The
beautiful silver fox is entirely missing
this year. The richly furred red fox of
the Arctic is also very scarce, as is also
the snowy white fox which was formerly
abundant
No good lynx skins seem to have been
taken this year. Only a few poor sum
mer skins of this animal will be sent 70
market from here this year.
A trader who deals exclusively in fox,
| lynx and ermine skins has just reached
| civilization from the Kotzebue country.
In this trip of over 800 miles through
what was once the richest fur producing
region of the Arctic he was able to buy
only eight fox skins and very few ermine
skins. He visited every Esquimaux viii
| lage and every detached igloo on his
way, offering good prices.
| Not only are the finer furs very scarce,
| but the trade in polar bear skins, which
/ has until now been extensive, is also af-
| fected. Even when plentiful large polar
bear skins, properly dressed, have
| brought over $500 IN several eastern
| cities; but these large skins, which some
times exceed II feet in length, are not to
| be seen in the Arctic this year
| Nothing is known at present concern
| ing the fur situation on the Siberian
| side, but the catch in Arctic Alaska will
| be less than half of last year.-Ottawa

Shoes to Prevent Hook Worm Disease.

The public health and marine hospital
service has completed it's investigation
of hookworm disease and announces that
the negro is becoming immune, though a
large carrier of the germ. The blacks
are said to have brought it here from
Africa. 1t is the presence of the germ
in such numbers in the negro, the Wash
ington experts say, which reduces his
general power of resistance and renders
him so liable to tuberculosis. Thus the
hookworm germ Is the indirect cause Of
consumption. The hookworm germ is
said by the government scientists to en-
ter the system mostly through the feet
and ankles. though it Is also received
into the stomach through the eating Of
raw vegetables and the drinking of con-
taminated water. The wearing Of shoes
would therefore. they say, do more than
anything else to Danish the disease How
