Early the next morning, when the
sultan, according to custom, went to
and admire Aladdin's
palace, his amaZement was unbounded
to find that it could nowhere be seen.
He could not comprehend how so large
a palace, which he had seen plainly
every day for some years, should van
ish SO soon and not leave the least
trace behind In his perpleXity he or
dered the grand viZier to be sent for
with expedition.
The grand viZicr, who, in secret, bore
no good will to Aladdin, intimated his
suspicion that the palace, was built by
magic, and that Aladdin had made his
hunting excursion an excuse for the re-
moval of his palace with the same sud-
denness with which it had been erect
ed. He induced the sultan to send a
detachment of his guard, and to have
Aladdin seized as n prisoner of state.
on his SON n-laws being brought be-
fore him, he would not hear a word
from him, but ordered him to he put
to death. The decree caused no such

CATCHING WILD ANIMALS.
Traps For Leopards-Grain Jar to
Hold Greedy Monkeys.

Leopards were caught in nooses
made of cat or monkey gut. The tiger,
the leopard and the panther have all
the cats habit of sharpening and
cleaning their claws on tree trunks,
but whether it is true that preferably
they will use a tree that bears previous
claw marks / cannot say.
1t would be interesting to have the
opinion of some one experienced on the
subject. However, the pursuers are
believed to have selected such a tree
and round and about the trunk OF 1t
set their strong gut snares; and some-
times the cheetah remained secured by
the leg. Sure it is that some snare Is
used for these beasts, for they are
still to be found in the native states OF
Rajputana, and probably elsewhere,
kept for hunting purposes.
A leopard secured for hunting must
be caught when he is full grown, and
accomplished in his knack of pulling
down game, otherwise, however much
he were trained, he would never ac-
uuire the quickness and perception as
i'm the wild state when he has to Sc
cure for himself each and every meal
he partakes of.
| have seen these cheetahs tied to
ordinary charpoys and taking quite
place of their own among their keep
ers' families, who seem to fear them

have been told that they are al
WAYS rewarded for a successful chase
with a cupfull of fresh, warm blood
from the victim, and some even say
the liver, cut out then and there, IS
given them. To take possession OF
these creatures when only noosed to
a tree by one leg must need great
courage and dexterity. though 1t seems
an easy enough matter to tame them
once they are captured.
Monkeys can sometimes be secured
by the absurdly simple method of put
ting some grain i'm heavy but small
mouthed chatty or gharrah. AS soon
as Jacko knows what is inside he pops
i'm his fist and fills IT full. The object Is
to have the opening too small To allow
his doubled up full fist to be with
drawn. He has not the sense and cum
ningness that is generally attributed
to him evidently for it does not occur
to him i'm this instance to empty his
hand of grain and so get free, for he
will go on struggling ineffectively
without doing so as often as not, prov
ing his own undoing.-Asian.

ace in a condition of exceeding humil-
iation. The lords who had courted
him in the days Of his splendor. now
declined to have any communication
with him. For three days he wandered
about the city, exciting the wonder
and compassion of the multitude by
asking everybody he met If he had seen
his palace, or could tell him anything
of it. On the third day he wandered
into the country, and as he was ap-
preaching a river, he fell down the
bank with SO much violence that he
rubbed the ring which the magician
had given him so hard by holding on
the rock to save himself, that immedi-
ately the same genie appeared whom
he had seen in the cave where the ma
gician had left him. What wOuldst

offer of help so little expected, replied,

- Columbia State: The cotton crop
of South Carolina has been damaged
to the extent of several million dol
lars by anthranOSe, disease when
has attacked the plant in many sec
tiOnS of the state. The state depart
ment of agriculture has been for the
past week flooded with samples OF the
havoc that has been wrought and
many of the farmers are seeking IN
formation as to how conditions may
be remedied. The department has
given information To all inquirers as to
how the disease may be eradicated.
Various estimates of the damages
wrought have been made. \ conser-
yative estimate of the damage is
about $4.OOO,OOO. The county farm
demonstration agents have also sent
many samples to Ira w. Williams.
the state agent employed by the Unit
ed States government. After making
I'm examination of several samples,
Mr.. Williams has addressed the fol-
lowing letter to a well known farmer
i'm Aiken county: THE cotton bolls
YOU sent me received. | thank you
very much for sending them. The
trouble, without doubt. is that you
have seen written about, called an
thracnuSc. There is nothing you can
at this season. our method of hght-
ing the disease is to select cotton seed
from the fields where the disease has
never appeared. as the germ will live
in the seed from one year To another.
If a field is affected it is best to rotate
the crop. putting some other crop in
the land for another year. as the
germs will live in the stalks and burrs
left i'm the fields. and therefore attack
the plant the next year. 1t also at
taCkS some kinds of cotton more than
others. The Cook cotton | have found
is subject To the disease. while Clcve-
land big boil is largely resistant"
Many letters of similar nature have
been sent out to farmers residing in
all sections of the state. All experts
are agreed that when Il crop has been
attacked there is nothing that Will
save the crop for that year. The rOta-
tinn of crops seems tn be the only plan
tu eliminate the disease, according to
those who have made Il study of ii.
Many of the farmers have been adviS-
ed To plant corn and secure pure cot
ton seed not affected by the disease
for the next year. The appearance of
the disease has caused much uneasi-
ness among many of the farmers.
Many thought that the boil Weevil had
arrived.

BLEAsE TO SUCCEED TILLMAN.
Some Think Governor Elect Will Go
After Senior Senator's Toga.


The Florence Times makes the fol-
lowing political speculations:
Now that Cole Blease has been
elected governor the question that Is
being asked most frequently Is what is
he going to do with the state and what
will the state do with him? The news
papers that opposed him will be stulti-
fled in the estimation of the public be-
cause their storm warnings are not
likely to he verified, and if any of his
acts are criticised by the press 1t will
be discounted He will then strength
en- his political organization and he will
absolutely control the state, which he
has captured by accident. He will
make it plain that the newspapers have
been deceivng the people, will weaken
their influence as far as possible and
point to his victory over their oppo-
stion every time that capital can be
made out of it for the furtherance or
his interests. He will make, certainly
to an outward appearance, the best
governor the state has ever had, he
will also be vigorous and dramatic,
turning all things to his own account,
and he will not rest satisfied with the
present victory. That is a cOnserva-
tive estimate of the situation.
1t IS suggested, WIFI lnucI Slo" VA
probability, that he will be a candi-
date two years from now for the SEN
ate held by Senator Tillman, and that
he will win whether Tillman runs or
not, and as it is said that Tillman will
not run, his mantle will fall on Blease.
1t is rather remarkable that many
Of the men who voted for Blease are
the most astonished at his victory and
the most apprehensive for many think
ing men voted for him in fit of pique.
Indignation or whatever they may call
it. The great apprehension is felt Tor
the influences which are feared will
surround the executive office. There
are many, however, who like Tillman,
hope for determination on the part
of the new governor, to really con-
found his enemies by wise and conser-
vative exercise of the powers acci-
dentally put in his hands.
