Opinions of "gussptjos." lUMFTION is to success fect. It is the essential who i3 bigger than the his decree of success amount of gumption in The Iloosiers found say: "Gumption is the

grease where the squeak is." Isn't that the basis of power? Dewey had gumption whe- he cut the cable. It does not always take age to develop gumption; it Is born in a man and often shows at an early age, as In the case of two boys. They had no father and no Income, but wanted to go to the high school. Their older brother, a member of the large firm which he Iiad entered as office boy at 12, saw no need for further education. He had succeeded without it, and why cot them? and he thought It was high time for them to be earning their own living. The boys decided that it wouldn't be any harder to stay up at one end of the night than the other, so they worked up a morning paper route which eventually netted them $100 a month. They solved the problem by earning their own living and going to school, too. That's putting the grease where the squeak is! Every man has achieved his own greatness. To be great is to work out the strength within you, not to wear the cloak of power. The word gumption is peculiarly American. It names the quality in us which makes for success and progress. Wherever the American is, he should have gumption, he should be stronger than the obstacle that confronts hi in. It was the ability to sec what his -country needed that made Lincoln, our grandest American, tower over the Little Giant: it was the ability to carry out what he saw was needed that made Lincoln efiual to all emergencies. Patlcr.ce, Insight, courage and perseverance all of those qualities which make strength of character, which tjive the power to see and to do are suinn.ed up in this one word gumption.Chicago Journal.

ioun Kixrs cf money. O keep track of the different kinds of money In circulation seemed, a few years ago. no slight task. To-day it is much simpler; four etsily remembered classes practically include it all. These are gold, silver, national bank-notes and government notes.

Gold circulates almost wholly in the form of gold crtilicates, which stand for the metal in the treasury, the trunk-check which the railroad issues stands for the trunk. The certificates are easier to carry about. They are Issued in denominations of twenty dollars and upward. It is the present aim of the department to ive each class of currency a field of its own. Silver certificates, which are mainly In ones, twos and fives, hold the same relation to sliver coin, except that among the farm laborers cf the South there is a decided preference for the metallic dollar over its paper representative. On the Pacific coast generally, with all classes of people, paper money continues in disfavor; as in Europe, coin, both gold and silver, Is preferred. In this class must also be included 'subsidiary . coins," or those made of silver In denominations of Ies3 -thin one dollar, and the still smaller change, known as -the "minor" coins nickels and cents of which about ? thirty million dollars in all are in circulation. Besides these classes resting directly on metals, come "two forms of paper. The issue of United States notes,

man about town will award the palm to the woman who Is best dressed in the park. I have heard a man declare that he thought a woman never looked so well as when wearing a perfectly plain gown of some washing material, whereas it is obvious that some of the sex find us most attractive in what they describe as "full fig" or "war paint." And, speaking generally, I suppose a woman cloes have almost every chance in a becoming evening gown. But one can lay down no hard and fast rules as to when a woman really looks best. Much depends on the woman, much depends on what she Is wearing, and much depends on her environment; but I eannot conceive a woman looking her best when engaged in exercise which is either very violent or which dishevels her in any way; nor is she likely to lock her best when the dress dues not fit her surroundings. This Is a fact which should be well borne In mind by women of a certain age bent on ruralizing, and, Indeed, by women of all ages, at all times, and in all places. London World.

To talk about the rest of us. But so much has been said alout the dead man's abilities that the awful wreck of his life is positively startling. And the more we dwell upon his remarkable foresight in business and his remarkable power over men the more impressive does the lesson of the contrast become. A dozen art galleries and tens of millions of dollars where there was one would write the word "failure" all the larger. The perversion of character, the complete absence of any guiding moral purpose and of a decent respect for the opinion of mankind leaves a heritage of shame to the nearest of kith and kin and a taint upon every item in the vast fortune. Out of the wreck we can make nothing but a warning. Chicago Kccord-IIerald.

HAS A BABY OCTOPUS. Antonio Martine Presents Specimen to National Moeom. Antonio Martinez, a "citizen if the wide world," who divides his time between fighting bulls, riding wild horses and harpooning whales, came to Wash ington a few days ago from Savan-1 nah, Ga., to present to the National luseum, through the fish commission, what he denominates a baby octopus, which he took from the stomach of a fish near Fort de France, Martinique, says the Washington Star. Martinez is a soldier of fortune of the true West Indian type. He was born In Cuba and took up the work of fighting bulls for the satisfaction It gave him to overcome the brutes. For the same reason he became an expert horseman and combined his exhibitions of bull fighting with rough-riding work. During the last Cuban war of lndeendence he was a soldier in the army Maximo Gomez and was one of the v Cubans that were of assistance to iue Americans on their landing in Cuba. His real work in life, he says, has given exhibitions of his skill civilized country, and In half of them has given exhibitions of his skll against bulls and in breaking horses. He Is said to be an expert harpoonist, and It was while serving in this capacity, and as second mate on a French whaler, that he captured the octopus he is to present to the United States government. The deep sea monster Is In the earlistages of Its development rnd eighs but a pound and a half, possibly a fraction more. It Is equipped, however, with ail the vicious tentacles It would hare when fully grown. According to Martinez, who claims to have seen several, the octopus is equipped with but two large arms or tentacles and eight smaller ones. The largest arms on the baby octopus Martinez brought here are about eight Inches long and the shorter ones but a few Inches less. The short arms grow out from around its mouth, the mouth being the center of a circle, the radius of which would touch the o'.nt cf each tin tads. These tentacles

commonly known as "greenbacks," is a fixed amount, and the notes are promises to pay in coin on demand. They were formerly of all denominations, but are now almost exclusively ten-dollar bills. Of national bank-notes there are now more than four hundred and fifty million dollars in circulation, which Is the high-water mark. Nearly half the government's bonds are held by the Treasurer of the United States as security against this circulation, which is chiefly in fives, tens and twenties. Of the kinds of money, gold represents forty-four per cent: silver little more than half as much; national bank-notes, which come third, considerably exceed the greenbacks in value. The total of this money, equally divided, would give to each inhabitant of the country an average of about thirty-one dollars. Youth's Com panion.

are equiped with teeth, such as tue crab has, and with suction cups. The long tentacles are equipped with suction cups only. With the long tentacles the monster seizes its prey and draws it into the radius of the shorter arms, which crush it Martinez states that while cruising :bout Martinique sibout the time of the ruption of Mont Felee the whaleboat in which he was starching for whales was seized by an octopus- that weighed three tons. The long arms of the monster were fifty-two feet in length. The whaleboat was crushed and it was with difficulty that the men in it escaped. They were picked up by a passing steamer and returned to their vessel, which was lying some distance from the scene. Last summer was the first time Martinez had a chance to revisit the Martinique coast, and he and his companions searched for the big octopus that had cause? them trouble, but did not find it. The octopus he brought here w. him he found in the stomach of a n that was caught during the cruise.

Remember that the good cow cannot stand abuse. She must have good care. Spirits of turpentine may be used with good results in curing coughs in pigs. If j-ou cultivate your orchard properly, you will not have to renovate it so often. It costs no more to produce clean milk or cream than It does to produce the other kind. . Beauty in form and appearance is not a safe indication of the value of a sow as a breeder. Keep the cows out of the corn fields on cold or stormy days. It is expensive feed they get. It is a mistake to breed a sow too young; she should be at least 8 months old, and 12 is better. Tou should have a hotbed and a cold frame, so that you can have fresh vegetables in April and May. Give the seeds and plants plenty of room to grow, so that seeding will be easy and tangling of vines impossible. P.oup starts simply as a coll Germs seize upon the Inflamed parts as a good home and then we get a malignant, Infectious type. Look them over carefully, and select slosely; and send to the butcher every animal that is not up to the standard jf excellence. Fowls are valuable only when they are handled with a view to getting the best there Is In them. Once proved, a fowl is a valuable asset Nothing looks much better or prettier in summer than a well-kept hedge fence. On the other hand nothing can become a greater nuisance than one that has been poorly kept Sheep Increase so rapidly and mature at such an early age, and their flesh is so wholesome for food, that on the majority of farms a flock can readily be made profitable. Since no use can be made of sow's milk it seems unwise to be in a hurry about weaning pig when the mother's milk supply is still good. The suckling pig is making its lowest cost growth. There is a shortage of horses and mules. The only remedy for this situation is for breeders to hold good ones for high prices and breed the mares more diligently. The former move is the safest method. It is claimed that one sheep for each cow can be kept with very little if any additional expense as the sheep consumes much that the cow will refuse. All the same, sheep need good nutritious food, and pay for it In every neighborhood there is at least one man who bears the reputation of being able to do the most work in the least time of all his fellows. The reason usually lies In the fact that his machinery is kept in perfect repair and his methods are strictly up-to-date. The discussion seems unabated be tween the advocates of cultivation of fruit trees and leaving them in sod. rhose on one side seem to have as strong arguments as those on the Dther. The probability is that for roung trees cultivation is the best, and for old trees sod is just as gooü if not better. There will be no Investment for good blood on a farm where the owner does not believe in it. One has to believe before he is convinced that it Is a good thing. The fact that there are many scrub farmers trying to keep good steck on scrub care is increasing the ranks of skeptics. Good stock and good care go together. The weight of the grain from sn acre of corn is about the same as the weight of the cured fodder. Forty bushels of corn should weigh about a long ton, and the weight of the fodder will be nearly the same. There may be variations sometimes, but wie can estimate very close to the weight of the cured fodder by arriving at a knowledge of the number of bushels of corn from each ncre. The average American farmer would marvel at some of the things eaten by foreigners. Laplanders mix earth with their bread and Russian peasants use "rock flour." Some poorer classes of Hungary actually eat earth. Seaweed is sometimes used as a food from necessity. Chinese are said to eat "birdnest soup," whatever that Lv In Spain the snail is a luxury. Americans are eating many things In the absence of pure food laws,, that they have no desire to eat A large pecan; tree In Berrien County, Ga., has a spread of branches of 123 feet Its trunk at two feet above the ground has a circui if erence of 17 feet, and at a height of five feet it measures 9 feet around. It Is said to bear twelve to fifteen barrels of nuts annually, and as ti are of the unimproved or common variety, they never sell for less than 15 eents a pound, and the crop brings from $70 to $90. The tree Is supiosed to be between sixty and seventy years old. Measure accurately the length and breadth of your kitchen garden. It does not pay in dollars and cents, if you count your time worth as much as the market gardener's.

get many of the borers before these have had time to do much damage. This is, of course, an advantage, but if trees are wormed once thoroughly each winter and kept mounded during the summer, one worming will usually be sufficient Some farmers in New York State have found that it pays them to skin their hogs rather than scalding them when butchering. This change has been brought about by the demand for hog skins which has sprung up in recent years. It Is said that they bring from fiftv cents to one dollar each. When this plan is pursued it does not require the extensive preparation for butchering that is required in scalding. It is said that they get one-half cent per pound more for hogs dressed in this manner than when dressed In the old way. The practice is said to be spreading. To Brenk a Stable Kicker. To break a stable kicker, a writer In Epltomist says: The best means is to give him a sand bag to exercise upon. Fill a grain sack half full of sand and swing it up to the ceiling with a rope so the sack will hang just where the heels of the horse will have good play upon it. Tie the horse in the stall with a good strong rope and let him kick. At the first kick the bag will swing away and return, giving the horse as good as he sent. For the next few minutes there will be a lively nilxup between the horse and sack, but the sack will hold its own, returning all it receives with interest. The horse, in bucking against the real tiling, will soon come to a realization of the fact, and will be thoroughly cowed. Leiive the sack behind him for a week or so and then remove it. If he even shows a tendency to get into his old habit of kicking, give him another punching bag to exercise with. Working the Urood Glares. Judicious working of brood mares doe5 good iustead of harm, but some of the leading horse breeders never put their brood mares in harness. They provide exercise In other ways in order to keep the stock in vigorous health. As a rule, these breeders have extensive grass pastures, into which the mares are turned for several hours each day throughout the winter season. Horse breeders who neither work their m:s nor turn them out daily invariably fc'et a small proportion of increase. Some foals are lost immaturely, and others are born so weak that they die soon afterwards. Most horse breeders, especially those of long experience, prefer that mares In foal should have regular exercise In the form cf light work, but jerking and straining should be avoided umler all circumstances. Treating; Rotation Crop:. It is granted by every intelligent farmer that rotation of crops is necessary in order to preserve properly soil fertility. There may be a difference of opinion as to the crops which should follow each other, but this is largely due to what individuals find works best in their own particular cases. It is an accepted fact that any soil that will produce good sruin crops will produce good grass crops, so that corn and grasses are two of the natural rotative crops, although they are not always correctly treated. What is meant is this: Timothy is frequently sown in clover, the idea being that the clover will fertilize the soil and largely die out the tirst winter, leaving the soli free for the timothy. This Is good argument, of course, and the plan works nicely when the timothy is cut the following season, but too often it is permitted to make a second crop, and this uses up the nitrogen taken into the soil by the clover, so that none of it is left for the benefit of the grain crop which Is to follow in the rotation. To a certain extent the mistake Is made with the grain crop La the same way, the first crop being so large the owner Is tempted to try a second sowing of the same crop on the soil, and thus breaks the chain in his system of rotation and falls on the second grain crop or on the next crop in the rotation which follows the grain crop. The future fertility of the soil depends. In a larger degree than we think, on the rotation of crops, but this rotation. whatever it may be, must be carefully and religiously carried on year after year to produce results. Feeding; the Cow.. If we admit that the cow Is entitled to more than enough food to keep her alive we must ascertain what proportion of the food given Is for that purpose and then, if we desire a milk return, which we do, feed so as to get such a return. Of course, the properly balanced ration must be given to obtain 'the desired resultSv It is estimated that fully GO per cent of the food consumed by the cow is needed to keep her in normal condition; that is, to live without giving any milk nor adding materially to her weight It Is plain, therefore, that rations of considerable quantity must be given or else the food must be concentrated, the major portion of It if the cow Is to be all that is desired as a dairy anlniaL What the ration shall be will depend largely upon what one has to feed, assumtng that all of It is not bought; if this should be the case, it is comparatively easy to obtain the balanced ration. Where corn must form a major portion of the ration, in many cases 'It is the only concentrated portion, then the roughage must supply the protein. Here Is where alfalfa comes in so nicely. A first-class ration would be ten pounds of alfalfa, corn stover ten pounds, corn ten pounds and either bran or cotton seed meal two pounds. This is probably one of the least expensive rations for winter feeding known. If timothy or corn stover must be used in place of alfalfa the quantity can be increased one-half and the bran or cotton seed meal should also be increased slightly. With the foods suggested as a basis for a nw of average weight, it should be easy for one to work out by a tew -roerlxnents a ration suited to his par

OUTDOOR WORK FOR WOMEN.

California la the Country for Those Who Would Take It Up. California seems to be the country for women who wish to earn their living by out-of-door work. A magazine devoted to the industries of the State gives some space to the work accomplished by women in farming, bee keeping, etc., and one learns that most of these women were ignorant of the woik they went into, had little or no capital and in most Instances came from other States. Intelligence, common sense, energy and enthusiasm, seem to have achieved most of the successes recorded, necording to the Xew York Globe. For instance, one reads of a tired-out college girl, who arrived in Glen Ellen fifteen months ago to engage in poultry raising. She is now, we are told, strong and healthy from active outdoor work, and ieculiarly independent. Mrs. O. II. Burr id go, of Los Angeles, was Impressed by the fact that California imports every year from the middle west hundreds of carloads of eggs and dressed poultry which have paid large percentages of their value to the railroads and at least two middlemen. The prices of dressed poultry and eggs are always so high that a good living can be made by supplying hotels and private families. Mrs. E. I. Buckingham became a fruit grower. She began with a little farm of twenty acres, but has extended her domain until to-day she owns 110 acres, covered with trees and vines. She engaged an overseer G feet 8 inches in height, but he did not seem to share his employer's enthusiasm, and she made up her mind that she might get a new man. But as she walked through the fields one night in the moonlight an ovl answered her anxious thought by hooting: Oh who who? Another owl near, by replied: Oh you you! She took the hint, dismissed her tall, slow overseer, an:l hired herself in his stead. For several years this woman has marketed GOO tons of fruit annually. Mrs. J. P. Ames has successfully applied her womanly exi?rionee to the keeping of bees. She attributes her success to the application of two rules : , First, tbat animal and insect life must be properly nourished, and second, that nature must be supplemented by intelligent methods of keeping and use. It is said that women with a small capital to buy suitable buildings, land and live stock can gradually earn a comfortable subsistence. But they will do well, unless they have had previous experience and training, to apprentice themselves for a time to arsons already successfully established in similar industries. HER MAJESTY'S THRONE ROOM. Deanty of the Great Central Hall In the Winter Pnlnee. Her majesty's throne room at the winter palace in Pekiu fronts on a court which was surrounded by wellbuilt walls with curiously shaped doors and windows and ornamented yellow and green-tiled designs at intervals. In the center of the wall In front was the immense gateway, with wooden folding doors, which had just opened for her passage. The veranda of the throne room had two rooms projecting upon it, making of it a rectangular space with walls around three of its sides. This veranda was quite different from any at the summer palace, where they run the whole length of the buildings, back and front. Entering, I was struck by the beauty of the great central hall the harmony of its proportions, the somber splendor of its color. It seemed to me the most satisfying, the most picturesque, of all the restful, harmonious Chinese interiors I had seen, with its dnll red walls and its splendid coffered ceiling glowing in color and glinting in gold, the central dome, with elaboratelj- carved pendentives, being painted In brilliant primary colors, subdued into a rich harmony by the demiobseurity, for it had no "lantern" and received its light from the windows below. The curious feature of the domes in several of the palaces in the Violet City, so effective from within, giving elevation and space to the interiors, is that they are not visible from the outside of the edifice. The beautiful straight line of the roof, with its upturned corners, remains intact in its purity and retains its restful simplicity. The hall was paved with great blocks of highly polished black marble, which dimly reflected the glowing splendor of the walls and ceiling. In the center of one side was a low dais, richly carpeted, on which stood a great antique throne and footstool of red lacquer, framed in ebony and inlaid with cloisonne; the three-leaved screen behind was of bronze, with landscapes iu low relief. On each leaf a poem In golden characters gave the needed touch of brilliancy to the somber inassiveness of the dull bronze. Great wooden doors, with huge gilded dragons in high relief, opened into apartments to the right and left of thi splendid hall. These portals were always thrown wide and heavily ! padded satiii portieres hung from the lintels. The front and rear of the hall were almost entirely of glass, with the pillars that supported the roof standing clear between the windows. the lower half of plate glass, the upper of transparent Corean paper.

The First Cffeet. Now, suppose Congress should determine to revise the tarilT, what would be the first effect? Business would halt the country over. Prudence, conservatism and safety would bid the manufacturer to curtail the output of his factory, the wholesaler, the jobber and the retailer would wisely reduce stock, enterprises underway would stop, enterprises in contemplation would vanish; capital, commerce and manufacture would await the outcome. There might not be panic, but there would be loss. This is not a fanciful statement, but a rehearsal of what has always occurred when Congress has had tariff legislation under consideration. Whence comes the demand for tariff tinkering? Possibly, as alleged, certain schedules give some trusts undue advantage. Yet in free trade England the trusts are as powerful as in the "uited States, and it would seem that we must look to some other means than tariff legislation to stay their hand. Then, too, certain trusts or combinations are asking for the repeal of some rates, especially on raw material, and which if conceded would add to their profits. And out-and-out free traders we have always with us. But the people in general, busy and prosperous, while conceding that were it possible to adjust some inequalities without weakening the whole structure they would like to have it done, are not calling loudly for tariff revision at this time. They evidently believe jn the maxim: "It is better to bear the ills we have than fly to others we know not of." New Castla (Ind.) Courier. Whether a reciprocity treaty between the United States and Germany designed to remove the barrier et up by the landlord party sgainst tbe importation of American meats and meat products into Germany, is ratified or rejected the inexorable law of supply and demand will In the not distant future assert itself. The embargo on American meat products has already produced a meat famine in Germany. The price of fresh meats and products of every description has gone up so high that the (;erman workmen are compelled to feed on horseflesh. When the supply of horseflesh has boon exhausted there will come bre id riots and sot iall.stio uprisings that will swoop the agrarian? out of the CJerman Parliament as a potential political force and compel the repeal or revision of all laws and regulations designed to prevent and obstruct the importation of foodstuffs Into Germany from the country that is able to furnish the largest supply at the lowest price. Om alia Roe. What Ther Oissht to Know. If the shoemakers of MasaehuefN do not know that the removal of tin duty on hides would be accompanied by the removal of the duties on leather and U products they ought to know it.

Tlioy will not endure to be trampled upon, even If It pays. Hut they would not bo outvoted.
