In one of the finest pities of our west there'lives a certain man who has been prominent all his life in the work of building and managing theaters. He has been too busy at this to have much time for reading. When his pile was made h* started for Europe and visited the various countries. Among other cities he took in Rome. It chanced that he drove out in the country and was shown the Coliseum. The guide told him it was a theater. The old man was surprised. When he came back he was asked about his trip; he mentioned Rome. Naturally he was asked if he had seen the Coliseum. He had. He didn’t think much of it.

Hon. W. V. Sullivan, U. S. Senator froa Mississippi. Hon. W. V. Sullivan, United States Senator from Mississippi, in a letter recently written to Dr. Hartman from Oxford, Miss., says the following: “For some time I have been a sufferer fromcatarrh in its most incipient stage, so much so that I became alarmed as to my general health. But, hearing of Pe-ru-na as a good remedy, I gave it a fair trial and soon began to improve. Its effects were distinctly beneficial, removing the annoying symptoms, and was particularly good as a tonic. “I take pleasure in recommending your great national catarrh cure, Pe-ru-»a, as the best I have ever tried.” “W.

GREAT FODDER CROP. — n»e Cowpea, Which Has Been Steni* ily Growing ija Favor with Western Farmers. Herewith we Illustrate the cowpea. As will be seen, it is more of a bean than a pea. Bulletin 102 of the United States department of agriculture says of it: The cowpea has been cultivated in the south for at least 150 years. It was probably first introduced on plantations in South Carolina, the seeds having been brought from India or China. From this original introduction and from subsequent importations its cultivation has spread to almost every farm and plantation in the southern

COW PEA PLANT. •tates. Cowpeas are, in their relationship and habit of growth, really beans, a*d not peas, as the name indicates. They are annuals and are closely related to the lablab, lima and haricot beans of our gardens. Varieties—Cowpeas occur in every gradation pf habit, from a compact, stocky, upright bush having stems a foot high with very short lateral branches to those with trailing runners ^growing as flat upon the ground as sweet potato or melon vines, the prostrate stems 15 to 20 feet in length. The pods vary from four to six inches in length, and the peas are of every imaginable shade of white, yellow, green, pink, gray, brown, red, purple and black, of solid colors or variously moti tied and speckled, and of varying sizes j and forms, from large kidney-shaped to little round ones smaller than the gar* ien pea. There is a like variation in the length of time the different form* require to ripen seed, some requiring eight or nine months, a few ripening ir 60 days from the time of planting. FACTS ABOUT HIDES. Classification Recently Adopted by the Hide Dealers and Tanners ot Chicago. Green Hides—Hides just as they come from the animals, never having been salted. Part Cured Hides—Hides that have been salted, but not long enough in salt to be thoroughly cured/ Green Salted Hides—Hides that have been salted long enough to be thoroughly cured. ^ Greep Kip—All veal skins running 1 from 15 to 25 pounds shall be plassed as veal kip. All long-haired and thin skins running from eight to 25 pounds shall b^lassed as runners. Green^Calf—All veal skins running from eight to 15 pounds. Deacon Skins—All calf skins under eight potmds shall be classed as deaoons.

.Dry Jblint Hides—Are thoroughly dry hides that have not been salted. Dry Salted Hides—Are thoroughly dry hides having been salted while green. . Grubby Hides—Hides having one ox more grubs. All dry kip and calf shall be classed the same as hides;. All hides shall be free from salt, dirk meat, dung, horns, tail bones AfijiUemews; and before being weighed all such substances shall be removed, or a proper deduction made from the w-eight; and when the head hangs to the hide by a narrow strip, it shall be cut off; also when the head is not split in the center, it shall be made straight before being weighed. All bull, stag, tainted, grubby, badly scarred, cut, scored, and murrain Aides, both green and dry, shall be classed as glue stock. Dry hides, which are moth-eaten, sunburned ot weather beaten, shall be clasesd as damaged. All ldp and calf, both green and dry, shall be trimmed the same as hides, with the exception that the tail bone may be left in calf skins. All green cured hide^of 60 pounds and over shall be called heavy and all green cured hides under 60 pounds shall be called light hides. All dry hides 18 pounds and over shall be called heavy and all dry hides undex 18 pounds shall be called light hides. Why the Heat Kills Hoars. ' Prof. John A. Craig, of the Iowa experiment station, explains why the hog succumbs so unresistingly when overheated. The .man or horse when overheated soon has his body covered with perspiration, and the evaporation of this at once begins to reduce his temperature. Nature has made no such provision for the relief s©f the hog when heated by exposure to the sun or by excessive exercise. This ii reason enough why it should have an abundant and convenient bathing ox wallowing place, whether on summei pasturage or confined lot, and have plenty of green food that is laxative and cooling.

MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS Cheap chemical dyes threaten the great indigo industry of Behar, India, where hundreds of thousands of famllies have found employment. In the year ended June 30, 1807, the United States purchased 28,704,190 pounds of coffee from Mexico, valued at $4,573,865; the following year, 34,511,168 pounds, valued at $3,599,382; last year, 27,324,827 pounds, valued at $2,686,248. Prices are going down. A pet dog was chloroformed to death and placed in'*the arms of its dead mistress. Miss Elizabeth Webster, of Syracuse, N. Y. This was in accordance with the dying wish of Miss Webster, who had expressed the desire to ! have the dog buried in the same eofltn i with her. The death of Mr. Hamilton Y. Castner, the chemist, was announced a short time ago. He invented a process for producing sodium which enabled aluminum to !be produced at a comparatively low price. He also invented a process for the electrolytical production of alkali and bleaching powder from common salt, and a process for making cheaply cyanide of potassium. The noise of a thunderstorm aroused Miss Mary Maloney from a deep sleep in a hotel at Greenwood Lake, N. Y„ and she saw a ball of fire pass close to her head. It struck the foot of her bedstead and shattered it into splinters. The terrified girl crawled to the hallway, uttered a piercing scream and became unconscious. In a few hours she had entirely recovered from the shock she experienced. There is one family that admires William Mercer, pf Raccoon Creek, W. Va. In the year 1S6S, at the age of 19, he married Miss Jennie Moffatt, of that place. Since that time he has successively married her four sistets, Ada. Catharine, Missouri and Anna. His first four wives all died of consumption. He espoused the fifth sister a few weeks ago. The parents of the girls offered no objeMion to any of the marriages. There is honor among the lynchers of Alabama. At a lynching party in that state the discovery was made that the executioners had forgotten to bring a rope. In the victim’s pocket was found 40 cents, and this sum was invested in the purchase of the rope. At the close of the tragic drama the lynchers, with a fine sense of honor, considering the 40 cents merely h loan, collected and returned the sum to the victim’s family.

THE PUNSTER. Aathirsty physician must be a dry doeR. Actors do a lot of making up •without quarreling. A damp climate is undoubtedly the bust for raising umbrellas. No man ever produced the bubble of fume by blowing his own pipe. Worth formerly made the man. Now it is the amount of money he is worth. If you are at a loss to know how to take a man let him remain where he is. Always purchase umbrellas in dry weather, as they are sure to go up whenever it rains. A philosopher says a man occasionally gets light on a subject by scratching his head. So does a match. The ivy doesn’t cling to the stone wall half as tenaciously as the man who is engaged in repairingit at so much per day. A man is liable-to cast his thread upon the waters during his first rn^an voyage, but it’s his first excursion in a balloon that makes him soar. — Chicago Daily News. TO HAVE IDEAL SERVANTS. ^In brief, be businesslike. Complete freedom after work is done. Avoid personal supervision while off duty.
