How a Chinaman
PLAYED Safe in Mexico

There was Chinaman of Parral
who had weathered several revolu-
tons and any number OF Sundays at
faro. He first began to acquire ex-
perience Of the vicissitudes of Mexi-
can upheavals, when Colonel Francis
CO Villa took the town. One morn
ing Pancho sent a bunch of peons
up the mountain side to gather fire
wood for the locomotives he had re-
Gently captured.
When they went out the password
was viva Maderof' to be rendered
with loyal fervor. The natives fooled
around all day on the job and on re-
turning that night were stopped by a
sentry in the outskirts.
"Quein vivi?" he shallenged-"Who
goes there"
With one voice they sent up glad
shout of "Vivi MaderoT And the
sentry promptly marched the whole
gang into the presence of Salazar,
who ordered that they be shot. He
had seized the town during the day
and "Viva Orozco" was now the
slogan.
Observing which things the Celes-
tial pondered deeply. Time passed,
and one faction succeeded another.
Came a crowd ofsoldiers along the
street one evening, singing and ca
rousing. They were strangers to
him.
ali, Chinop they yelled. lets
hear you cheerF
The Chinaman rubbed the fingers
of one hand softly over the back OF
the other.
you cheer first" he suggested.
That is the predicsment in which
most Mexicans find themselves to-
day.--Saturday Evening Post.

Downturn In Value Of Wheat Continues

Chicago. Juno l6.-Downturns In the value

a fresh setback.

tended to Keep the market here easy almost
the entire session, The close was unset

Active demand from commission houses

largely on a theory that the stock of corn
obtainable fop immediate delivery was about
exhausted After opening unchanged to NC

Further upturns resulted from gossip
that half OF the domestic visible supply
was under contract for Export. The close,
however. was nervous OF tho same as yes

Oats developed strength owing to reports

The Chicken Business

- The chicken BUSINESSES no place for the
unframed or unread man or woman. It's
simple but there's lots to know and wrong
path leads surely to disaster. Little use to
set hundred eggs, hatch fifty, raise twenty,
have these grow up unthrifty and the hens
lay perhaps fifty eggs year.
The Lee Library Of FIVE booklets was writ
ten by an expert of thirty years experience
in poultry work. 1t tells about Lees foods,
insecticides and remedies--true; but it is
more than an lad" 1t points out the stum-
bling blocks, the little pitfalls that Cause so
many failures with poultry.
We show how eggs can be made 90 per
cent fertile; 90 per cent or better Matched;
90 per cent Of these raised; every normal
hen made to lay fifteen eggs per month
every month in the year, and summer eggs
preserved absolutely fresh for winter sale
or use; then there's big money in chickens.

Tonnage Of Ships -
Is a Confusing Term

The different uses Of tonnage terms
when speaking of ships are causes of
confusion to the lay mind, state Cap
tain c. A. McAllister, engineer-in-
chief, United States coast guard. For
example, steamship companies in
order to impress upon the travelling
public the size, and consequent rela-
tive safety of their craft, will adver-
tise the sailing of certain steamer OF
10000 tons, meaning, OF course, gross
tons. The company's agent, in enter
ing it at the custom house, will take
great preeaution to certify that it is
of only 7,340 tons, when paying ton
mage taxes. He then is referring to
its net tonnage, and in fact that
standard is used only when paying
dues or taxes.
Displacement tonnage is almost ex-
clusively applied to warships as they
do not carry cargoes. Strange to say,
the tonnage of battleship varies al
most hourly, as coal or other weighty
objects are used or taken on board.
The tonnage of warships is, however,
fixed; they are referred to in terms of
the fixed tonnage.
A statement that 10,000-ton battle
ship sank l0000-ton merchant ship
does not mean that the ships were Of
equal size. The merchant ship would
be much the larger owing to the diff
ferent meanings of the term "ton," as
applied to the two types of vessels. 1t
is absolutely impossible to give rules
for the relations Of these terms,-as the
conditions vary too greatly. Generally
speaking, the gross tonnage OF a>ship
is from 50 to 100 per cent greater than
the net tonnage. Tons displacement
are, always in excess OF tons gross;
lightweight tonnage is on an average
from 80 to so per cent greater
than gross tonnage.-Popular Science
Monthly.

from the big decline this week. and while
a generally firIner trade was expected, The
advance was n surprise TO all hands. Light
receipts all around the circuit and con
siderably better demand were the principal
causes OF the upturn.
with a light run Monday. packers paid
prices that were at least 2bc higher than
the close of last week, and on each sue
ueeding day there was similar upturn,
medium kinds showing even more advance
than that at times Friday not enough was
here to make n market, but tho feeling was
that, had normal run showed up. the mar.
ket would have been anyway csc higher.
The result is that closing quotations on
best lambs Of all kinds are sl.26 higher
than a week ago. while medium stuff shows
more advance than that In many cases. This
best spring lambs are selling at $1,000

TRAGEDY DUE TO TooTHAcHE
French Monarch Tormented by Agony
When He Signed Revocation Of
Edict of Nantes.

That the failure Of king to take
proper care Of the teeth, with the re-
suting toothache, was the cause Of a
step that made torrents of blood
drench the soil of France, seems to
be an historical fact
Louis XIV. who on October IL, 1856,
signed the revocation Of the Edict of
Nantes, which action took from the
Huguenots their right to freedom Of
worship and provoked the uprising of
the Camisards, who for nearly two
decades withstood the armies of the
king, had teeth so unsound that before
middle age, all those in the upper jaw
had been lost or reduced to scraggy
stumps.
He naturally became a victim to
severe dyspepsia, and during the me-
morable year Of 1855 the royal dentist,
we learn, was sometimes with him for
a whole day. Inflammation once re-
suited from the removal of a root be-
meath which an abscess had formed.
This was said to be during the very
time when he was apparently wavering
between his conscience and pressure
brought by the more radical Of his adj
yisers as to compliance with the lat
, ters demand that the Huguenots be
suppressed.
The two Colberts, Seignelai and
Croissi, and even the young Dauphin,
urged delay, but the king answered
them in such d tone of irritation that
they were silenced one of them saying
to the others: Ills majesty is tor
mented by toothache; we may not in
trnde.'
And so the edict Of Nantes, which
had been granted by Henry of Navarro,
as Henry Nv Of France, and had. as
sured peace and calm throughout
France for more than two-thirds Of a
century, was abrogated, religious strife
broke out again, and thousands Of
Huguenots We're driven from their ma
tive land.
