CABBAGE Foe vanauished.

For years the growing of cabbages
In Wisconsin has been one Of the
states most important agricultural en-
terprises. Every season hundreds Of
acres have been planted in cabbages,
which have netted the farmers large
profits. Not long ago, however, a
peculiar blight, popularity known as
"yellows" and scientifically as 'fusar-
ium conglutinans," in the form Of a
fungus, attacked the roots of the cab
bages, sometimes killing as much as
95 per cent of a bed. Sprays and new
fertilizers were tried by the farmers,
but to no avail. Then It was observed
in number of beds Of cabbages af-
fiicted with the, "yellows" two or three
heads appeared to be immune to the
disease. Many of these immune heads
were not the proper type for culture In
Wisconsin, but by repeated selection a
new cabbage has finally been evolved
which Is immune to the "yellows" and
commercially profitable.

STRANGE VIEWS OF MARRIAGE
Spinster's Will DisinherIted Relative
Because "She Entered Abhorrent

A Miss Graham, who died while en-
gagged in war work at Malta, and left
legacles Of 100000, held strange views
on the marriage question. On the
ground that her views indicated an I'M
healthy and unsound mind at the time
when she prepared her will refarfes
opposed probate.
In the evidence adduted II was
proved that the deceased had altered
a former will under which her relative
would have received a substantial
legacy and some valuable property be-
cause she had degraded herself" by
entering the abhorrent state Of matri-
mony.
The point at issue was submitted to
a jury, who held that strange marriage
views did not prove a state Of insanity.
with which the judge concurred. At
the same time the foreman expressed
the regret that the deceased had had
no experience of matrimony, when she
might have revised her verdict.

Duty Before Men Of Today.

Tn an address at the Homewood Gem
etery, Pittsburgh, Rev. j. Il. Norcross
Of the Shady Avenue Baptist church
said: 1--WE are living In the best period
of the worlds history. In spite OF war
and rumors of war humanity Is ad-
vancing. The rise and fall Of nations
form stages In the evolution OF the
race. National crises are not mere
happenings; they are the meeting
places of broken laws. God waits for
nations to move, but God moves while
we walt. Nations, as well az individ-
uals. reap their harvests. Much Will
be required OF us. To falter will be
reck0ned cowardice. Our strength
willbe equal to omnipotence IL we are
aligned with God. II Is our specific
mission to help America fulfil her.

HARPooNs USED BY FRENCH
Adaptation Of Weapon Used In whal-
Ing Employed to Bring Down
Hostile Balloons.

In peace days few people imagined
that they would live to witness in the
next war q revival of such antiquated
weapons as the catapult and mortar In
almost their ancient and medieval
forms. But these things were helpful
only as long as the other resources Of
modern military science were held ur
by still another ancient device, the
long, irregular ditch or trench.
The trench remains for us the hard
est thing to overcome, and though the
catapult Is rarely. II ever used nova
days, some Of the missiles used in con-
nection with the latest types Of anti
aircraft guns are so uncOmmonly like
the old ones that they might well have
originated in the armory of the
Romans.
The particular means that we on
this side have employed with so much
success against Zeppelins is stir,
mystery, says writer in the West
minister Gazette, but on the other side
the French apply the principle of the
harpoon for destroying balloons, free
and navigable. Most people know that
whales are captured by first firing into
their body barbed head or spear, con-
tanning a shank and line, through
which the electric charge is sent to ex-
plode the bomb in the head. Whether
the French, when attacking gas bags,
use high explosive bomb or special
kind Of gun for setting them on fire
l do not know, but the missile itself
Is, understand, nothing more than
modification of the common harpoon
aimed at marine mammals.

~ claims to have fired the last
~ shot of the war Of Seces-
sion--David n. Osyor, the
Columbus Dispatch states. He was II
member of Company +, Ninth Ohio
cavalry. On the morning of April II,
1865, that command was near Dur
ham Station, n. G. 1t was keeping
close watch on Gen. Joe Wheeler's
cavalry, which was on the opposite
side of an extensive swamp. Part of
the Union cavalry was ordered to dis
mount and wade across the swamp to
distract the Confederates, while the
rest constructed corduroy bridge.
They used their carbines so vigorously
that the Confederates surmised that a
very considerable force was coming at
them, and the road builders got along
fine with their bridge.
Near the other edge of the swamp
Osyor says Confederate bullet just
clipped his sergeant's chevron and the
skin on his arm. Looking for the
source Of the bullet, he spied the long
barrel of gun and the gray legs OF a
Confederate soldier In the forks OF "a
tree i'm front of him, and ne fired at
them. He saw the legs withdrawn
and the owner Of them crawl slowly
away.
Just then a flag Of truce came In
sight and the Union men were ordered
to cease firing. The occurrence, Osyor
said, did not impress him at the time,
hut that flag of truce was really the
sign OF the end of the Civil war, for
the general surrender came soon and
the troops were sent home.
A strange part Of the story Is that
long after the war OsyOr met at Biz
mingham, Ala, man named Amos
Thompson, who was lame-said ne
had been wounded in the Confederate
service and. comparing notes, they es-
tablished to the satisfaction OF both
that Thompson was the man who was
In the tree on the edge Of the Durham
swamp back In 1855, had shot at Osyor
and been shot In turn by him. Osyors
bullet struck Thompson in the knee
and made him a cripple for life. They
agreed that they had fired the very
last shot on each side In the Civil war.
