A Printer-POet's Song.

Marching Through Georgia." was
composed by Henry G.. Work OF
Chicago, a remarkable song writer,
and published just after General
Sherman had completed his famous
''march to the sea-" Mr.. Work was
printer, and often composed the
words of a song at the case, as he set
up type, and then if he had access to
music type he would also compose in
his mind and set up the music. these
pieces seldom requiring more than
two or three alterations. Marching
Through Georgia." was thus com.
posed without ever being put in manu-
script. Mr.. Work published more
than two hundred songs, "My
Grandfather's Clock" bringing him a
handsome return.-Boslon Transcript.

BulWer Lytton and His Chorus.

The Princess Won Racowitsa met
Bulwer Lytton in the Riviera toward
the end Of the fifties. He was then,
she says in her autobiography, "past
his first youth: his fame was at it's
zenith. He seemed to me antedilu-
Wan, with his long dyed curls and his
old fashioned dress. He dressed exact
ly in the fashion of the twenties, with
long coats reaching to the ankles, knee
brooches and long colored waistcoats.
Also he appeared always with young
lady who adored him and who was
followed by a manservant carrying
harp. She sat at his feet and ap-
peared, as he did, in the costume of
1880, with long flowing curls, called
Anglaises. He read aloud from his
own works, and in especially poetic
passages his Alice accompanied him
with arpeggios on the harp"

with many branches, seldom over
three feet high, and is found from
Canada to Florida, growing usually in
cry wooded sections It is very abun-
dant in New Jersey, for which it is
named. 1t blooms profusely in July
and is so snowy, with it's many pam
icled white blossoms, as to be quite
worth a place in the gardens as an
ornamental shrub. 1t has a dark red
root, with leaves downy beneath and
very much veined, by which it is easily
distinguished from the pure tea. An
infusion of the leaves prepared in the
same manner as the genuine article
has somewhat the taste of ordinary
grades Of the tea of the orient, but is
not supposed to possess any Of it's

his widow continues to follow in his

many more such people in the world.
Ike Walker, the Spencer Brook

his way and was Obliged to circle
around for an hour or so before he

What Princeton needs more than
anything else is a frst-class flour

to give handsome bonus to the right

earthly reason why as good flour
cannot be manufactured in Princeton
as in any of the surrounding towns.

CYCLONE FORMATION.
Tho Mechanical Laws Are the Same
as In Whirlpool.

as In Whirlpool.
Any one can make the exact counter
part Of a cyclone if he so desires. Of
course a cyclone is caused by the air
over a big area getting warm and
light with small pressure This air
consequently tries to rise almost in a
body and leaves a partial vacuum be-
hind, but the outside cold air rushes
in from all Sides Now, it is scien-
tific and mechanical truth that when
fluid runs in from all sides toward q
central point it causes whirlpool or
rotation of the fluid. The exact anal
ogy Of cyclone, then, although with
the fluid water instead Of air, is seen
when the stopper is pulled out of the
bottom of basin full of water An
almost perfect vacuum, as far as the
water is concerned, is caused by the
water Immediately over the stopper
running out. The rest of the water
PUSHES in from all directions, and a
whirlpool is the result. There is one
difference here from the air cyclone
In the air the force with which it
PUSHES toward the center greatly COM
presses the air whirling at that point
and makes it very dense-so dense, in
fact, that straw carried in the cen
sral whirl can be driven into a big
block of wood without bending. Of
course in a whirlpool the water is not
compressed, remaining practically the
same in density all the time. That
Is one highly important property of
water; it is practically incompressible.
Nevertheless it is very interesting to
see the whirl form in a basin and
know that the mechanical laws are
the same as in the formation of a cv-
clone many miles wide.-Harpers

Death of Mrs. I. Mudgett's Cousin,

calling him to North Bay, Ont. -,
where his youngest son, Charles, lay
dangerously i'll. Mr.. Berry took the
evening express over the Canadian
Pacific road, but did not reach there
until after the death of his son, which
occurred Sunday. Charlie, with a
number of others, went to Ontario to
work in the harvest fields and while
there the young man was taken sick
and, in company with his brother-in-
law, Forest Fogarty, started for
home, but was obliged to leave the
train at North Bay and go to the hos
pital, where he was operated upon for
appendicitis. Mr.. Fogarty left him
in the hospital and came home, so
that Mr.. Berry might 60. The opera
ton was too late to save the mans

The Farms the Thing,

AS the United States has become
more and more manufacturing
nation, it has approached nearer and
nearer to the point where it consumes
the entire products of it's soil.
According to a late consular report,
Great Britain bought from Argentina
last year 4, 7l2,960 hundred weight of
beef, an increase of 7l3, 440 hundred
weight over the import of the pre-
vious year. At the same time she
purchased from the United States
95S, 720 hundred weight, which was
661, 92o less than her purchase of 1908
and 1,789, 760 hundred weight less
than we sold her in 1907. The trend
is clear and perfectly underestimate BILE.
But with Our enormous area of half
used and unused lands there is no
real necessity for such sudden and
violent changes in trade. We are
just beginning to get practical lessons
in the intensive farming in which
other countries are already adept.
Last year the shipment of pork to
Great Britain from the United States
shrank to 1870 hundred weight, while
the little Netherlands shipped 423, 800
hundred weight.
Denmark, country of swamps and
sand dunes, bit of land which could
be hidden away in one corner of the
state of Minnesota, alone furnished
England with 2,O27, 200 hundred weight
of bacon!
It is right to manufacture, but the
United States must also begin prac-
ticing the art of making two pigs
grow where only one has grown be-
fore, or we will soon be in the posi-
ton in which England is today.
When We look out over Minnesota
alone, it is clear enough that the ham
tree has hardly begun to bear yet

Jack Broughton appeared.
BrOughtOn revolutionized box
ing. Prior to his time. men stood
toe to toe and slugged with little
attempt to evade punishment.
Broughton introduced blocking
and parrying, and frequently won
| without a mark on himself.
Broughton stood five feet eleven
inches and weighed 1856. He had
something new in every big fight,
nonplussing men who believed
they knew his style. He was an
expert at wrestling, then permits
sible in fights.
Broughton had an academy, and
in 1884 promulgated his fistic
code, which maintained until after
the fight between Owen Swift and
Brighton Bill, in 1888. The orig
inal code as follows:
BROUGHTON'S RULES
I. That a square of yard be
chalked in the middle of the stage,
and every fresh set to after a
fall, or being parted from the rails,
each second is to bring his man
to the side of the square and place
him opposite to the other; and un-
til they are fairly set to at the
lines. it shall not be lawful for the
one to strike the other.
2. That in order to prevent
disputes as to the time a man lies
after fall, if the second does not
bring his man to the side of the
square within the space of half a
minute, he shall be deemed beat
en- man.
3. That in every main battle, no
| person whatever shall be upon the
stage, except the principals and
their seconds; the same rule to be
observed in bye-battles. except that
in the latter, Mr.. Broughton is al
lowed to be upon the stage to keep
decorum and to assist gentlemen
in getting to their places, provided
always, he does not interfere in the
battle; and whoever presumes to
infringe these rules to be turned
Immediately out of the house
Everybody is to quit the stage as
soon as the champions are striped,
before they set to.
4. That no champion be deemed
beaten unless he fails to come up
to the line in the limited time; or
that his own second declares him
beaten. No second is to be allowed
to ask his mans adversary any
questions or advise him to give
out.
5. That in bye-battles, the win

ming man to have two-thirds of the
money given, which shall be pub
licly divided upon the stage, not
outstanding any private agreement
to the contrary.
6. That to prevent disputes in
every main battle, the principals
shall, on the coming on the stage;
choose from among the gentlemen
present, two umpires, who shall
absolutely decide all disputes that
may arise about the battle; and if
the umpires cannot agree, the said
umpires to choose a third, who is
to determine it.
7. That no person is to hit his
adversary when he is down, or
seize him by the ham, the breeches
or any part below the waist;
man on his knees is reckoned down.
To Broughton is due credit for
the introduction of science and
humanity. Broughton also in
vented gloves, with which mock
contests were held for instruction
given without fear of injury.

fought John Stack, and, blinded
by a blow between the eyes, was
