Prince cf Kagato was one of these, and

lltaiitime Prince Xagato throve and
flourished by the strait of Simonoeeki,
and failing ono day to wring tribnto or
blackmail by any ctby-r means he fired
on tlii Amrancan merchantman Pem
broke and killed a couple of her crew.
There was another diplontatic protest of
the combined foreign representatives to
tiie Japanese government, and Com
mander McLmgall, who happened to be
ia port with the Wyoming, suggested
that if the mikado could not take a fall
cut of his rebellious subject the Wyo
ming could and would without much
tirping. This rtrack the government as
good thing and an eay way out of the
interuatiuaal difficulty, to McDugall
was given carte blanche to settle ac
count with the Prince of Nagato in be
half of all the powers concerned, and
he forthwith sailed away.
It was the middle of July when the
Wyoming found hifstlf in the strait
of Siinonosfc-ki and in itight of the tihore
Liittcries which were a part of the
prince's defn.-es to seaward. Before
be bad time to n on the batteries
two Japanene gun boa U loonnjd up, one
lib cad and one a tern, in the narrow
strait, and presently a third came cruis
ing out from among the neighboring is
land It was a na.ty place for a fight,
HcDcguIl teing without charts or pi
lota, and the odds were more than
enough for Nelson himte-lf, being 48
guns of the three Japanese veanels to the
2(! if the eld Wyoming, to say nothing
of tho batteries on shore. There was
still a chance to run, barring some dan
ger of grounding in the narrow channels
aiuorjg tho islands, but the idea does not
eetn to have occurred to anyone aboard
the frigate.
Workiug to windward of the nearest
Japanese, tho Wyoming opened at long
range and worked down on her tilt
when close aboard, there was nothing of
the enemy left atanding above dn ks.
The other two vessels had come up in
the meantime and engaged the Ameri
can on either side, but ahe lay to and
gave them shot for shot, port and star
Imard, till her gunner wire smoke
blini and the ::.( i f tiie guns no lon
ger nerved to light the battiecloud that
rolled in white billows over the smooth
watevs of tlws strait. It was desperate
work in the shallow water, but the
Wyoming was the best vesl. aud she
outnianeuvered her two opponents from
start to finUh, though twicv aground
and once afire, with as many men kuock-
od out from splinters aud heat as from
the enemy's hbot.
Fighting themselves out of ne
smoke patch into another, the three com
batants circled around like two crows
and a kingbird till they had drifted
down ia rat go of the slure batteries,
which gayly took a Land in the game.
But McDugall ran acroM the bows of
one of hia enemies, raked Ler ait he
went and left ber a floating wreck, and
, then turned his atujiti.Ai to the bat
teriea. Tho Wyoming's men rigged tho
smith's forge on duck and tossed hot
shot into the works ashore till they set
them afire and the soldiers fled, aud the
other Japs on the remaining cruiser, de
ciding enough was as good as feast,
followed their example.
So McDtigall mended bis rigging and
patched bis bulwarks, and meanwhile
sent word to the recalcitrant prince to
come down and settle or Le v.ou!d sail
inland and shell the royal i ace about
its royal owner's earn.
The prince, who was no less discreet
than Colonel Crockett's coon, came
down promptly, and of the resulting in
demnity 3()0,000 fell to the lot of the
United States. It was many yours be
fore this money got into the treun-vy f

tate department bad charge of it and
had invented it to well that there was a
very little short of 2,000,000 finally
turned over to the government, which,
after all. was pretty good pay for one

but the fly beys all about him, young

Tha Hif-B Price wf Persia Laaak Capes
Accounted For.
The shah of Persia may be only in
the i :30 class in matters of diplomacy
and be does not dare exactly to slap
Oueen Victoria or Kaiser Wilhelm oa
the buck when the potentates chance to
meet but, so far as matters in Persia
are concerned, when the shah makes a
law it is generally enforced to the letter.
A case in point may be cited ia the
matter of Persian lambskin. Persian
lambskins are and have long been an
article of staple demand in the com
mercial world. They have commanded
such good prices that the supply was
hardly equal to the demand. Conse
quently, when the shah one day ordered
spring lamb with mint sauce, the cook
was obliged to confess that the dish was
beyond the command of the Persian
trtas-ury. Of course the cook was
promptly beheaded, but the shah could
not hud another cook who would agree
to furnish spring lamb whenever his
majesty desired to indulge in that deli
cacy. This naturally irritated the shah.
After consulting with three or four of
his most trusted advisers, who could see
no way out of the difficulty rad who
consequently disappeared fiom their
homes and society ia a mysterious man
ner, tho shah finally decided that the
commerce of Persia was threatened by
the extinction of Persian sheep and Per
sian lambs. Consequently be made a
decree that any person found with lamb
skins in bis poeession for purposes of
trade or commerce would be fined heav
ily. Since then the export trade in Per
sian lambskins has stopped with l

OUR DEBT TO BUMBLEBEES.
Tha Part These Bear Workers Play Ia tha
Fertillaaliow of Flowers.
Barney Hoskin Standih write
article on "The Bumblebee" for St
Nicholas. Mr. Standish says: The work
of the bumblebee in bringing about the
eros fertilizati'm of flowers as im
portant a that of the hooevote, and
these two stand at the head of tne list
of insects useful in this respect Each
has ita flowers which it alone visits,
but there are many flowers on neutral
ground visited by both. So we may'
say of the bumblebee, as of tho honey
bee, the more bumblebees the more
seeds; the more seeds the more Cowers
especially wild Cowers, as the tall
bellflower, touch me not Solomon's seaL
g.-ntian, Dutchmen's breeches and tur
tle head. But probably the most impor
tant work this insect does for agricul
ture is upon the fields of red clover.
There in abundant proof that this plant
will not produce seed without the coup-ration
of the bumblebee. It is im
ponsible for the wind to bring about the
fertilization of the seed, as it may do
in the case of Indian corn, groin and
some forest trees. The tube of .d clo
ver blossoms, too, it so long that other
Insects (including the honeybee) are
net regular visitant.
Here is proof that this plant must
Lave visits from the bamblebee. This
insect is not a native of Australia, and
red clover failed to produce seed there
until bumblebees were imported. As
soon as they became numerous the plant
could be depended upon for seed.
Again, the blossoms of the first crop of
the Medium Red clover of our own
country are just a perfect as those of
the second crop, but there are too few
bumblebees in the field, so early in tha
season, to produce fertilization, hence
little or no seed in this crop. If bumble
bees were sufficiently numerous, there
is no reason why much larger yields of
clover seed might not be expected tha a
at present
Here is what a well informed farmer
says about it :
"It was formerly thought that the
world rested on the shoulders of Atlas.
I can prove that its prosperity rest on
the bumblebee. The world cannot pros
per without the farmers' product The
farm will not be pniductive without
clover. We cannot raise clover without
seed, and we cannot Lave clover seed
without the bumblebee, because it is
this insect that carries the pollen from
flower to flower, securing its develoj-
nicut and continuance. Let us learn to
know and to protect our friends."

aat I'DlatereaUns; World. -
"It is a pity that more of ns cannot
cultivate the twofold way of looking at
things, " writes Edward W. Bok in The
Ladies' Home JournaL "There would
be less friction in life if we did, and
sweeter sympathy, kinder understand
ing and broader and fuller living. The
fact is that we never reach the dignity
of true living unless we do learn this
all important lesson. And that it may
be cultivated admits of no doubt It is
simply a question of schooling ourselves
not to condemn generally what indi
vidually does not happen to be to our
taste. If, for example, we prefer brown
as a color, there is no reason on earth
why we should condemn the taste of
any one who preferred to wear green.
WLut the vast majority of ns need is to
be a little more self poised, more judi
ciai, more willing to see Rood in the
tastes of others, although they do not
plcuse our own particular fancies. It we
all thought alike, read the same books,
saw the same plays, wore the same col
ors, this wimld be an exceedingly unin
teresting world
"We cannot see all things in the
same way, but we can come near to
justice and true respect by taking a two
fold view of things while still retaining
oar strong individual views. Seeing a
possible good or use for everything doe
not necessairly mean a weak individu
ality. The mont uncomfortable people
in the world are those who assert their
judgments in a Lard, decisive and final
manner, as if they were courts of last
rc rt On the other Land, the bright
est and best minds are those that have
most respect for the opinions of others. "

contest in which the store thieve are
invariably brought to grict
A a woman leading a little girl pass
ed from counter to counter in a Sixth
a venae store otie day last week another
woman closely followed and nerver took
Ler eyes off her. The woman with the
httle" girl walked and talked rapidly.
They aed for nothing; their ;yes
sought much. Their stop at variou
counters sehlom lasted more than a
second. When they Lad reached the
jewelry deparunent their paiw slack
ened As they paastd a counter where
a sale of gold mounted comb wsn
ia progress the woman' arm flew
out froa beneath a black cape and back
again. With the arm oa its return trip
Lad gone one of the moat handsome and
expensive comb.
Oa the woman and the littlo girl
passed until they came opposite a tray
of earrings. The clerk wa about to re
turn the tray to it case.
"What pretty stones, mamma!" ex
claimed the child
"Yes, my dear," responded the wom
an. " but we won't look at them today. "
. "Oh, yes. Let ttop. You know yoo
promised to buy me some earrings for
my birthday."
"I know, but your birthday ii still
faraway."
" Why, mamma, yen know that it is
next Tuesday."
"My goodness! The child tells the
truth. How time does fly! WeU. we'll
look at them, but I'll not prvie yoa
to buy them today. "
Then begin the examination of chil
dren's earrings. Mother and daughter
look at them critically they admire
most cf them. This goea on for several
minutes, the mother protesting to tho
child that the purchase should not be
made today. Diamond earrings of all
sizes are in the tray.
A enstomer stt tap to make an in
quiry. The clerk turn her eye for an
instant toward her questioner. One of
the largest of the diamond earrings
give a flash and is gone. The Lttle girl
cornea between Ler mother and the
counter. Whin the customer is gone,
the little girl has two small earring in
her Land and says:
"Won't you get mamma to buy me
thin pair?"
While the clerk smiles and the moth
er i. saying they will call again in a
day or two the largw diamond earring
is being fastened inside the cape. The
mother thanks tho clerk, then they
Lurry from tho store.
They are scarcely out on the sidewalk
before a command is whispered in tlm
woman's ear:
"Eeturu that stolen property."
The girl takes to her heels. A man
follows and catches her.
The woman calls it an outrage. She
proti sts; says she'll make thv m pay f ir
the insult She grow hystericaL They
lead the two back to a side door. They
take them into the searcher' room.
Then the woman detective carefully ex
amines all their clothing. The child
cries. The woman becomes silent She
6ees it's all up. What's the use of go
ing to the trouble of making another
scene? The child is 12 year old and baa
been but a week under instruction. Be
ing arrested is new to her.
A society takes the child Her teacher
in crime, the woman who posed a her
mother, is held for trial
This is but a sample case. In tho
same store List week there were 15 ar
rest for shoplifting. Thone of the pris
oners who had never been in uch
scraiies before wero released. This par
ticular store trie to avoid the court aa
much a possible.
One woman who was arrested wore a
thoplifter'a skirt This skirt consists
chiefly of pocket. There are pocket of
all width and depth. This skirt i
usually worn a an underskirt An
opening is provided in tho overskirt
through which tho pocket filled skirt is
easily accessible.
In the concealed pockets of the wom
an mentioned were found two piece of
embroidery, several roll of silk braid,
six remnant of silk, several pieces of
jewelry and a pair of shoe. Two of the
store detectives, a man and a woman,
had watched the purloining of all thca
articles.
It is the rule cf aaost stores that no
shoplifters are to be arrested until they
reach the street Scene caused by ar
rests are very undesirable in a place of
business. Besides this, tlioau placed un
der arrest iu stores often make the de
fense that they did not intend to take
the goods away they simply desired to
examine them in a good light
One shoplifter, arrested last week,
and one on whom the stolen good were
found had six children at home. The
youngest was 6 month old. The wom
an's husband has a good basine.-. He
furnished bail for her. When the pro
prietors of the storo learned that the
woman had a 6-months-cM child at
home they withdraw the complaint
against ber. The woman's husband said
be could not understand why she should
wish to steaL
Store detective deny that there ia
any such thing as kleptomania.
"Kleptomania i a mistaken notion
that some womeu Lave that stores are
easily victimized, " is the definitiui that
tho detectives give. New York Tele

It would appear from all accounts
that M. Chacot's enterprise of the man
ufacture of spiders' web silk is to be
pursued on a largo scale, a factory in
Paris Laving been taken for tho purpose
Here the spiders will be kept and work
ed at regular hours, and when one cf
them is used up be will be fed and help
ed back to condition again, while an
other will tako Lis place on tho bobbin.
An expert fully acquainted with the
habit of the insect will be in control
of the spider department of the factory,
tho care of them, feeding, housing, etc
In obtaining the requisite supply, if
the latter exceeds what is necessary for
tho industry, experiment will be made
with a view to ascertaining which of
the different varieties produces the finest
quality of silk, and in this way those
not favored with a fine web will be
weeded ont Trial will likewise be
made with different diet in order to
' determine whether or not it is possible
to train tha spider to give forth a web
that is an iciprovemeut ou the ordinary
product tho expectation being that
perse vcranco in this respect will result
iu securing a quality of silk hitherto
unsurpassed

The manner of Lexer's collapse was
dracnUc, br.t nclhir.g about it partakicg
In the least of surprise. Repeatedly dur
ing the last two mojiib.it it hae been sbowu
that wheat could not continue to come
forward from the farm a it had done
without breaking the market Wheat
did come forward, and in spite of exports
almost beyond precedent the market col
lapsed. With it collapsed al.o estimates
of last year's yield, whether official or
private. The government estimate fare
worst as uu aL If there wan only
lrib bushels, aa the La-tt estimate by the de
partment reported on February 3, with
SSjlaftl boahel visible anpply increased
by half for other stocks last July, the en
tire supply vat SV5,tstif' bushels, from
which over T,0 ,) bushels have al
ready been taken or the osoal consump
tion and exports, and yet nearly twenty
million bushels wero left last Monday in
visible ?tpply alone. This puts the gov
ernment eetiiiiate demonstrably in error
about eevent milium bushels.
Mr. Snow's estimate, though nearer
right than any other, also collapse. He
put tha yield at O,!o),t, and the visi
ble supply on June, 1, ItC, was l-eTSCV'l.
and, iuereauxsl by half for other Mock at
tiie lowest point of the crop year, gave &r
the year'saupply uIT,Lt.io bushels. The
ce-nsunip'.iou calculated at the rate loot;
sustained by experience, -4 2-3 bushels,
upon the mean population for the year
according to treasury ae-counta, has been
34V,7ou,lj)ti bushels for the year's fool, and
something over .HCtjtj.m) bushels for seed
since the acreage has increases!, but a ilh
;6.C,7.Vi,i) bushels then distributed the
exports in eleveu and a half months have
been JeeSO.iVi Imthels, while 19.Md.uu
bushel remained in visible supply last
Saturday. Thus no less than (OJt"iu
bushels are accounted for already, benidea
ueb exports as may yet appear, and
some allowauee for invisible supply on
July I. but also for any decrease invisi
ble supply. Sin.-s March I. wheuMr.
Snow estimated l.7,0uv7o bushels in far
mers' hands, with y,i,nii visible, there
Lavebeeu aliout twenty million bushels
used UiT spring seeding, and !l.,Vs,t)
bushels for consumption at the average
rate for four mouths' population, and
a.ti71.1 15 bushels have beea exported i a
fifteen days of June, with lO.tl.it) bush
els in visible supply, making Jl'sVO. It-i
bushels already dintrilsited, over f,nttL-
(i bushels more than the entire supply
on March I, aa then estimated.
All these data prove that the yield of
IsIC was something over fiJ),l"i,iW bush
els, and how much over cannot 1st ap
proximately determined. Issibtiess high
prices much of the time bnve led farmers
to sell freely, but they have not sent to
market wheat they did not have to send.
It in open to anytssly who chouses to say
that estimates of prior years were much
more ia error thto any one supposed.
But the data here used have been con
stantly at the command of any Inrge
"merchant" like Mr. loiter diiriD(T all
the rre-ent mouth, and yet bo perst'.t
n holding and buying more to keep up
the market, until Mr. l.eiter the elder
refused any further aid.
It is the custom to say that incaN-ulable
injury has been indicted upon the people
by such sperti!ation. At any time and f
necessity some injury is indicted, but
the circumstances this year have render
ed the operation, on the whole, extreme
ly beneficial to the farmers, to the thou
sands of working men who bare secured
larger employment and belter wages in
coisu,uence of the enormous demand for
good from the farming region, and to
the whole eoontry through the great in
crease in the balance due to it from for
eigners. What rise in prices would bave
resulted naturally from the unprecedent
ed needs of other countries cannot of
course. Is? accurately judged. The actual
advance for the last half of V, compar
ed with the last halfof was Scents
a bushel, and for five months of lsiet,
compared with the same mouths of 1-1(7,
it was over .10 cents a bnshel, 13).ot),U
bushels l aving lieen exported in the first
half and 7y,UV) ia the lite months of
lrtn. If Leiter was responsible for half
the difference, he increased by f.'L'm),-
the sum paid by foreigners to this
country, to say nothing of the rise ia
other grain through the influence of the
wheat market The increase of profits
to farmers, and of purebasws by I hem re
suiting in lieuefils to traders, manufact
urers and workingtnen, has obviously
been much larger. Mxny bare paid a
little more for flour and bread, but it
may well be doubted whether any of
them have failed to seen re a greater bene
fit through the assured prosperity of the
country and the exceptional prosperity
of the agricultural states.
