GRADUATES OF AGRICULTURAL
COLLEGES.

We are now beginning to get some
rather interesting statistics as to
whether the graduates of agricultural
colleges contribute their due share to
agriculture after being graduated at
the states expense. During the past
ten years the Illinois College Of Agri-
culture has graduated 1874 men. classi-
fed as follows: 115, or 62 IL per
cent, are now farming; 40 are teach
ers in colleges of agriculture or work
ing in experiment stations; seven are
in the United States department of
agriculture, and one is an agricultural
editor Ninety per cent, therefore are
connected with agricultural pursuits,
and It is estimated that two-thirds of
these are in Illinois. Sixteen others
are teachers. II would be very inter-
esting to farmers generally to have a
similar census of the graduates of our
agricultural colleges In other states as
wcll.-.Farm and Ranch.

Sacred Nuts Of japan.
DORA

Although well known to travellers
and collectors Of curiosities. the horn
nut, or sacred nut" Of Japan was al
most wholly unknown to fruit and nut
dealers In this country prior to 1898.
when a New York commission mer-
chant received the first large consign-
ment. They are called sacred nuts"
because used In certain forms Of jap
anese worship, where they are placed
on the altar and ignited. Being very
rich in oil. they burn with hot, blush
fame and give off peculiar odor, the
fumes being supposed to rise as an ac-
ceptable incense to the gods. They
grow under water and have, a leaf like
an American lily. the form of the nut
itself being an almost exact counter
part Of an Asian buffalos head, droop-
ing horns and all. In the raw state
they are har,l and tasteless, but when
cooked the favor resembles that Of
boiled chestnuts. They are said to re-
tain their edible qualities for upward
of twenty years.

A HENRY CLAY STORY.
Fate Of the Resolution lnstruoting Him
How to Vote.

Fate of the Resolution lnstruoting Him
How to Vote.
Adlai Stevenson in Something Of
Men | Have Known" commenting on
Henry Clay. tells this anecdote:
Possibly since the foundation of the
governmen. no statesman has been so
completely idolized by his friends and
party as was Henry Clay. Words are
/ meaningless when the attempt is made
to express the idolatry Of the Wings
Of his own state for their great chief
tain. For a hfetime-he knew no rival
His wish was law to his followers
In the realm of party leadership
greater than he hath not appeared. At
his last defeat for the presidency
strong men wept bitter tears. When
his star set il was felt to be the sig
nal for the dissolution of the great
party of which he was the founder.
In words worthy to be recalled. when
the tidings came like wailing over the
state that Harry Percy's spur was
cold the chivalrous. felt somehow the
world had grown commonplace"
The following incident along the line
indicated may be considered charac-
teristic. While Mr.. Clay was sena'
tor Il resolution, In accordance with
some time custom, was introduced
into the Kentucky house Of represent
atives instructing the senators from
that state to vote In favor of a certain
bill then pending In congress. The
resolution was In the act of passing
without opposition when hitherto
silent member from one Of the noun
tain counties, springing to his feet,
exclaimed, "Mr. Speaker, am to I'M
derstand that this legislature is under
taking to tell Henry Clay how to
voter The speaker answered that
such was the purport of the resolution.
At which the member from the noun
tains, throwing up his arms, exclaim-
e., Great heaven" and sank into his
seat. 1t is needless to add that the
resolution was Immediately rejected
by unanimous vote.

since the river has changed its course
and Henderson s point, of old, has been

Later Capt. Francis took his boat
down Bayou Teche and wrecked the
Old fine w-pressure packet JnO. Cor
ton, that wore herself ont in the New
Orleans and Bayou Sara trade as
semi weekly tripper He also wrecked
the Diana and Rob Roy, all of which
were run down the Teche during the
Civil strife and sunk across the chan
ntl by the COnfederates to purposely
block navigation as a precautionary
war measure and necessity.
Capt. Francis still prizes silver
fork with the name of w. r. Carter
stamped in letters upon it, a souvenir
from one of the wrecks mentioned l.

MANNINGToN, June 16.-The home
team got sweet revenge yesterday for
the drubbing they got at Fairmont the
day before, for they held the league
leaders down to. no runs and but one
scratch hit.
Chambers was the lad who turned
the trick and he gave one of those bril-
liant exhibitions Of slab work which
characterizes him s the leading twirl-
err Of the league. At no time was he in
danger and the one safety that was Sc
cured by FaIrmont was a gift from
three flelders who went after 1t and all
OF whom stood still and allowed It 10
fall between them.
Pete Knicely, who was injured sew
eral days ago, was back in the game
and was an important factor. He
made homer and batted in another
ofthe locals runs
Beer was on the mound or Fairmont
and he failed to prove himself q puz-
zle to the local batters. Eight safe
ties were made of his delivery He
made the only error on Fairmont's side.
