cLEvERLY DISGUISED.
A Little Game Of Strategy That Mas
Played by Bismarck.

rlaycu py DteWarCks
The Iron Chancellor was not only
a statesman, able to handle abstract
theories Of government, but a
shrewd player Of the lesser games
of life.
When he represented Prussia at
the diet Of Frankfort in 1866 he
had reason to suspect that his let
tiers and dispatches were tampered
with by the Austrians. Other d.
plomatists suffered from the same
meddling One day after stormy
meeting Bismarck and the repre-
sentative from Hanover walked
away together, and as they walked
the Hanoverian touched on the sore
subject and asked Bismarck if he
had found a way to get his letters
through. The chancellor replied
that the representative should
know presently.
The prince as the two strolled
along led the way through dingy by
paths into a slum. Drawing on a
thick pair of gloves, he entered a
little shop where the poor bought
tea, cheese, pickles, lamp oil and
such commodities. The astonished
Hanoverian followed. A stupid
looking lad stood behind the coun-
ter.
"Boy," demanded the chancellor,
"do you sell soap?"
eyes, sir" responded the boy,
placing on the counter variety of
strong scented cakes.
When, after a careful examina-
ton, Bismarck had selected his soap
he thrust his hand into his pocket
and drew out an uninclosed letter.
He gave an exclamation as of dis
may and surprise. Apparently an
noyed at his forgetfulness, he cried,
'Boy, do you sell envelopes?"
Envelopes of cheap grade were
produced, and Bismarck put the let
ter in one. Then he asked for pen
and ink and set out to write the
address, but his heavy glove hinder
ed him. Here, boy" he exclaim-
ed, throwing down the pen, Gust
write this address for mep
When the scrawl was finished Bis
marck took the letter and left the
shop.
"There," said he, putting the let
ter to his companions nose, "what |
with the soap, the herring, the can
dies and the cheese l don't think |
they'll smell my dispatch under that !

ELEPHANT LABoRERS.
6tories That Are Told About Their
Wonderful Ceverness.

In eastern countries elephants dc
wonderful work in the way of drag.
lging and sorting timber and in
breaking up distractions caused by
dogs and miscellaneous hotsam in
streams. An English army official
says he has often watched the ele-
phants in a timber yard, and the
human way in which they will test
the weight Of a log requires to be
seen to be credited The tusker
will lift up one end with his trunk,
and if he deems { within his power
to lift the whole he will shift his
trunk gradually until he gets to
the exact center; then by kneeHng
down he will roll the log on to his
tusks and will carry it either to be
stacked or to the sawmill.
On tea estates the elephants are
occasionally employed to help IN
building construction by keeping
the masons supplied with blocks of
stone, and if the wall be not too
high they viii not only take the
block up, but lay it quite correctly
in its proper place. A Ceylon ele-
phant used regularly to lay stones
in this way under the orders of an
overseer, to whom he used to sig
nal to inspect and "pass" the work
done and to give permission for
fresh courses to be laid.
On one occasion the elephant
placed himself against part of the
wall, thus preventing the overseer
from examining that part of the
job. The latter, however, insisted
on the animal moving aside, and
the elephant, seeing his ruse had
failed, at once began to pull down
the wall which he bad just built and
which he was quite aware was bad
ly done at the very spot where he
had tried to conceal it from the
eye Of his master.
A Burmese ship captain also tells
a story of female elephant which
he, while anchored off the coast.
frequently saw come out Of the jun
gle to bathe in the sea, accompa-
MED by her youngster. The little
chap used to keep in the shallow
water while the mother ventured
farther out, but one morning, while
his parent was not looking, the
youngster got beyond his depth, be-
came frightened and made a great
to-do. The mother pulled him
ashore and gave him a good spank
ing with her trunk. Each succeed
ing morning the little one was com
PEELED to stand on the bank while
the mother first bathed herself and
afterward washed him down with
water fetched in her trunk.-Pear-
sons Weekly.

POWER CONCRETE MIXER.
Homemade Device That Is Useful or
the Farm.

Homemade Device That Is Useful or
the Farm.
OF interest to farmers who need
cement for any purpose, such as lay
ing floors or walks or making posts
is bulletin issued by the Colorado
experiment station which tells of mix
ing concrete by machinery and prints
the accompanying illustration of a
homemade mixer. which is described
thus:
Two pieces Of A by G form the sills.
Upon these two, uprights about three
feet high are fastened. A one and one
half inch pipe passes through holes
bored in the top of the uprights. Upor
this pipe the mixing box is turned, and
through the pipe the water is added
TO the mixture at the desired time.
The water is poured in at the top Of
the upright pipe and flows down and
out through holes which are drilled
in the lower side of it. The other end
of the pipe is closed by a wooden plug.

THE AM0K SIGNAL.
When Javanese Goes Mad ane Kills
All Within Reach.


On every side of me the violent
closing of doors and shutters re-
sembled rapid fire volley from ma
chine guns. The Parapalang was
deserted, and not a thing stirred in
any direction. Not a sound was
heard except the repeated "rap,
rap, rap, rap"
1t was the amok signal. II had
started at some point in the city
where an agent Of police or posi-
bly, a citizen had first taken from its
hook a stout, solid wooden club and
had struck a long, also solid, beam
that hung suspended from an ada
cent portico. 1t had been taken up
instantly at many different points
in Weltevreden by citizens and po-
lice agents, so that the amok signal
was flashed all over Weltevreden as
quickly as if central telephone or
telegraph operator had flashed it
over European wires. The signal
meant that some unfortunate little
brown Javanese had gone Suddenly
mad-mad as only Malay can be-
come. The repeated signals warned
all who valued their lives to escape
the maniacal rush of the dreaded
amok runner.
Around the corner | came upon
native stretched out stark and
then upon a dog that was limping
along with frightful cuts across its
body. A hundred feet farther |
saw the first signs of life since the
dreaded signal had first been sound
ed. Almost at the same moment
that ! saw small group Of police
agents, natives and a few Euro
peans gathered on a lawn down the
street there came the "fnish" sig
nal of three short raps repeated in
rapid succession. This signal, like
the first which gave the alarm, con-
cerned the amok runner, only the
signal now meant that the madman
had been caught or dispatched. 1t
was taken up in all directions. Peo-
pie emerged from their houses, and
soon the little group on the lawn
had grown into a veritable surging
mob.
When / came upon this scene
found a small, wiry Javanese
stretched out on the lawn. He had
evidently been stunned by a blow
from a club in the hands of a po-
lice agent. Near him lay a knife,
and the knife showed that it had
been put to awful use very recently.
The warning amok signals had
been altogether vain in the case of
one European, for near by, in the
entrance to his house, lay a promi-
nent planter, the victim of the mad
Javanese. He had been stabbed to
the heart. Before the dead plant
er reached the bed that was to be
his last the little Javanese outside
had recovered from the amok fever,
was wondering what had happened
to him and still more so at what he
had done and was led away for his
execution.-Emile w. Voute in
Harper's Weekly.

CITY MEN FOR FARMS.
Many Would Make Good Hired Hand s
if They Had Chance.

many Woutu wake AOou r1iTeO T1anO
If They Had Chance.
Many farmers throughout the coun-
try find it a difficult matter to get
hired hands, while in the great cities
there are thousands of men out Of
work. The problem Of inducing some
of the down and outs of city life to go
out on the farms is claiming the atten-
tion of social students.
A commission of the New York leg.
islature recently has been making an
inquiry into the matter. though it has
not taken up the subject exhaustiyely.
was present at one Of the sessions and
made suggestions.
The chief trouble seems TO be that
those in the cities who are always
deep in poverty know nothing of coun-
try life. seldom If ever having seen
the green fields They were born to
their conditions and know nothing
else.
Thousands Of these men, no doubt,
IL they should be taken out and given
jobs on farms would return to the city
as soon as they earned money enough.
That is because the city sights and
sounds have become second nature to
them. They would pine for the filth
and furore Of their native element.
But, on the other hand, there is no
doubt that many men in the cities
would welcome chance to get away
to the country for themselves and
their families and would develop into
excellent farm hands. The problem is
TO put these men in touch with farm
ers who need them.

Fans In shakesp.ars,. rims.

Fans in Shakespeare's time seem
to have been composed of ostrich
and other feathers fastened to han
dies. Gentlemen carried fans in
those days. According to an old
manuscript in the Ashmolean mu-
scum, Sir Edward Cole rode the cir
cult with prodigous fan, which
had a long stick, with which he cor
rected his daughters. - London

Diseases of Fowls.

Most of the diseases that affllct
fowls are the result of carelessness
and Indifference on the part of the
owner as regards the surroundings
and conditions of his poultry. No
poultry will show to advantage on the
credit side Of the cash account unless
they are healthy and well cared for.
How to prevent disease should be the
watchword rather than how to cure
