Knsw ha Had Gone for Good.

Mrs. Hannah Thompson, whose hus-
band until recently had been employed
as a Pullman porter, interrupted the
proceedings in the Harlem court In a
hurried effort to obtain divorce, says
New York news letter. She was
auieted down until case then being
heard was disposed Of, and then ques-
toned by the magistrate. When she
had explained that her husband had
left the previous morning 1t was sug-
gested by the court that there was no
reason to believe that he would not
return, and that Mrs. Thompson had
better wait before considering any
such move as a divorce action. but

shoes and light coat over his arm

door, makes big low bow towards me
and says: Goodbye, cold feet, good

STYLES of Trenches.

According to the description Of a
German officer, the Germans divide
their trenches into four different
classes. There are, first, the rifle pits
shallow excavations dug Ivy the sol
dier lying down under fire, about four
feet long and two feet wide, with
low earth parapet pushed up in front;
second, the knecling trench, simple
ditch about three feet wide; third, the
standing trench, which has a shelf-like
terrace running parallel with the bot
tom, where the men may stand and
shoot; and last, the improved or per-
mnnent trench, wide and deep, with
a trench "street" running along the
lowest level, and first shelf or ter
race two feet higher for the trench
garrison, and second terrace two
feet above the first and five feet below
ground level where the men may mount
to shoot.

Banana 10 City Of Future,

At the mouth Of the great kongo
river. here as wide as an arm OF the
sea, stands the important city with
the picturesque name of Banana. The
importance of Banana lies In the fu-
ture rather than the present. 1t is the
port of entry to that immense wilder
ness filled with thousand undevelop-
ed possibilities known as the Belgian
Kongo. If Belgium comes through the
war with her African empire intact
Banana will probably grow into the
leading Belgian colonial metropolis. AT
present It Is little more than name
and a possibility.
Banana consists Of an excellent nat
ural harbor and village OF few
score homesick Europeans. Consider
ing the importance of kongo trade
even today it is surprising that local
development has not gone farther.
There is no adequate wharf or pier.
There are no adequate unloading IA
cilitlss. There are only stretches or
sandy beach dotted with noble palms,
great mangrOve trees with their multi
tudinous earth gripping branches,
pier Of rotting and battered piles and
native canoes with their ebony oars
men. The prospect Is beautiful In
natural way, but there is a surprising
lack of industrial development.

SeIf-Hypnotism Nearly Fatal.

Records for keen imaginations were
shattered In the case of Edward Cor

himself with thought, Los Angeles
dispatch says.

he had quarreled. 1.-THE end will come

ulchral tones. Shortly afterwards he
was found in bed in comatose cOndi-
ton, and when his folks entered the
room he asked for priest to adminis-
ter the last rites.
Police Surgeon Zorb made a minute
examination and thought Corrigan had
taken poison. His eyes were dilated
and his outward condition indicated
poisonous symptoms. Treatment ap-
piled caused Doctor Zorb and other ex-
perts called In to believe that the case
was one Of self-hypnotlsm causd by
mental depression. When Corrigan
returned to his senses in the hospital

The History Of Pearls.

'"The modern recognition of pearls,
dates back to about 800 B. c., but they
were known to yet older peoples, and
especially to those Of the East" says
the author of book published under
the title, "The History of Pearls"
1.-THE Chinese records 60 still far
ther back, and oyster pearls were re-
ceived as tribute In the tWenty-third
century B. c. 1t is probable that they
were found In the waters OF Csyl0n
and India two thousand years ago. and
the Greeks Of course knew the pearl
and recognized its value. But 1t was
not until the Roman empire was be-
ginning to rise that the knowledge OF
the value Of the pearl became general.
1t seems that in early times Britain
played its part In the production OF
these gems, and Tacitus refers to Brit
tsh pearls, but calls them dull-colored
and dirty brown. Origen, on the con-
trary, declared that the pearls that
came from Britain held the second
rank In value. It was not, however,
until about the twelfth century that
pearls were used in England, when
they became conspicuous in church Or
namentation."

Only Woman Jalicr IN Worid.

Switzerland possesses the only Wom-
an taller in the world. She is governor
and warder in the prison of AiSle, IN
the Rhone valley. A good many years
ago she married the chief warder OF
the prison and sa"n proved to be
helpmate indeed, for, being strong
built woman, and with proper notions
of discipline, she made as good jailer
rs her husband, ana more than once
did his work when h. was away. When
he died the authorities asked her to
take his place permanently. ana she
accepted. All the year round the Aigle
prison contains from twelve to twenty
male prisoners, sentenced to terms or
Imprisonment ranging from three
months to three years, and although
the woman-ja jailer has no assistants she
has never had any trouble with the
prisoners. Strict disciplinarian though
she Is, the woman-jailer has the
kindliest of hearts, and takes great
interest in her guests" as she calls
them. Many prisoner has been set
on the straight path again by her wise
and kindly advice.

WHEN SHIP BECAME A FARM
Story ls Told of the Experience Of
Late Major Archibald Butt With
Cargo of Oats.

Truly, there Is nothing new under
hook, carrying fine cargo Of dried
Goldfish from where there Is ample
Goldfish to where the hungry natives
are yearning for Goldfish. She springs
seam, in flows the Atlantic. The
Goldfish drink copiously and swell up,
the straining timbers cannot stand
the strain and the Ponhook goes to
pieces. A yarn of the sea of the true
salty flavor, but is the incident unique?
Not at all, says the New London Day.
They used to tell story in Washing
ton years ago about the late Maj.
Archibald w. Butt and his cargo OF
oats that makes the tale of the Pom
hook sound like plagiarism.
In those days Archie was not ma
jor, neither had he attained to the
proud position Of military aide to the
president of the United States. He
had been a newspaper man and had
but lately entered the army Dis a lieu
tenant in the quartermaster's depart
ment. His first assignment" was to
chaperon cargo of oats from San
Francisco to Manila on one of those
weird transports which the govern
mert always managed to find in some
out-of-the-way dock in Spanish war
times. Half way to Guam the old tub
shipped heavy sea and couple Of
tons of water sluiced into the hold.
1t was what the oats needed. They
sopped 1t up and called for more. They
became insistent. Their impatience
burst all bounds, until the ship couldn't
hold them. They swelled and swelleda
and finally sprouted.
When the young quartermaster
reached Manila finally he had no cargo
of oats, but he had splendid farm.
Oats We're growing out of the matches,
they climbed the masts, they festooned
about the bridge, they burst through
every seam and hung down the sides
of the ship like an Illinois quarter Sec
ton atloat. The army authorities at
Manila Cancelled an order for new
machipe gun and ordered couple Of
reapers. And Archie Butt didn't know
whether he would be court-martialed
or be secretary of agriculture. Talk
about Goldfish.

Decline of EnuIish Agriculture.

Up to about the year 1886 all went
we'll with English agriculture and the
value of land and rents constantly In
creased. Then came few wet. ruin
Gus seasons, largely increasing imports
of grain beef, bacon and cheese from
the United States and heavy fall In
prices Of all kinds Of farm products.
What was the cause? Simply that the
Western prairie lands were opened up
by railroads and those big ranch own
ers sent their products East. What
was not needed In the Eastern states
was shipped to English free-trade mar
kets, with the inevitable outcome 9f
low prices.
In comparatively short while thou
