Since their" advent in tho World's Fair grounds hn sodnn-chair carriers, tho Turks liavo liad a good deal to do with fnt women, and tho Argonant avers that they have revised their esthetics. Joint-stock farming, by which larger agricultural operations can bo carried on under ono management than is pos fiiblo for tho single-handed farmer, will probably be ouo of tho fnturo de velopments of. our agricultural system. Thisis a practical way of reducing tho cost of production. ' An aerial elect rio railway, invented by Albert Leslie. Widdis, of Detroit, is expected to perform wonders.

Observes tho Detroit Free Press: "There is a certain amount of scientific .interest in knowing that it is not tho high temperature that makes the peo ple uncomfortable, Jmt tho humidity with which the air is charged. But un fortunately tho scieutifl.0 fact does not lessen tho sufTering. One is just as hot after finding it out as when he was in total ignorauco on the point.''

It is not necessary to carry any food for these animals, as they are able to subsist on the coarse grass and shrubs where horses or bullocks would starve. Statistics concerning tho failures of farmers iu tho first six months of 1893 throw bright lights on tho present de pression of agriculture in England. From last January 1 to last July 1 the number of failures among farmers has been forty per cent, larger than in the corresponding months of last year. In England and Wales more than 16,000 persons engaged iu agriculture are liv ing in sheds, barns, tents, vans and iu tho open fields. Thousands of unem ployed agricultural laborers are hover ing on the outskirts of London. In the same volume of statistics 52,484 persons are reported to bo living now on coasting merchant vessels and in land barges. Evidence of tho most direct variety places tho blame for the destruction of the British battle ship "Victoria on the Admiral who went down with his ship, states the Washington Star. All tho witnesses who testified before the court-martial at Valetta agree on that and every other material point and two of the officers heard Kir George Tryon confess the responsibility. In all great catastrophic there is gener ally an effort made to place the burden on a corpse, and when Admiral Tryon was first declared guilty many people imagined that the accusation was due almost entirely to the fact that he was dead and could not, therefore, defend himself, but it is now certain that he blundered and did so with persistent e that brooked no interference. It is satisfactory to tho Soieutifjo American to learn that tho geutlemen who havo urged the Now York botani cal garden project are nearly now in a condition financially able to begin ac tual preliminary work near the Bronx River. At least the sum of 9215,000 Las been received. There are several large subscriptions yet expected from weulthy citizens, and when these are received it is probable tho general public will be asked to contribute. There will be no pains or expense spared to make the garden worthy of the State and of the Nation. Kew Garden is the model which tho far-seeing men who have undertaken the charge of this en terprise have in view, and there 1? every reason to believe that their of forts will bo crowned with success. Tho silver producing States number a population but little moro than ono per cent, the total of tho United Stat os. A now order of things has lately come about in Siam, and tho young men aro getting a great and unusual share in tho government of tho coun try. From tho King downward thoro is scarcely a singlo minister who is above tho ago of forty, and many aro much younger. Tho piiro Arab horse is now being largely used in England to invigorate tho race horse, the hunter and the carriage horse. He is also used for the production of tho best clans of polo ponies by being matched with small Exmoor and Welsh mares. In those districts where ho is obtainable ho is in great demand by tho breeders. Not tho least interesting portion of tho nowspapers of New York, to the San Francisco Argonaut, is that which describes the efforts of the benevolent to better the condition of the women and children of tho poor. In Now York, before there were any such ex cursions, the mortality among the children of tho working-class was enormous. It has been greatly re duced since they came into vogue. Tho New York News thinks it is worthy of moro than passing notice when the speed record of the bicyclo reaches the astonishing paco of over 428 miles in twenty-four hours. This performance, achieved iu London, sur passes the distance covered in the first six days go-as-you-please pedestrian race in New York City. The simple two-wheel contrivance has thus en abled man to travel as far in a day as his legsalouo would -take him in a week. ' Whoa Buffalo Bill's Indians got through thoir' work, in Chicago in tho afternoon, they like nothing better than to repair to a merry-go-round near the camp aud revolve to the musio of a bad hand-organ. " Tho passer-by stops to soe the show, for the bucks and squaws are in their full panopy of feathers and paint. Most people would ge enongb fun by riding horseback three or four hours every day without wanting to rido on wooden horses afterward; but, thon, you see, real horses have no hand-organ attach ments. In other flays the great area called Okofonokee Swamp in Southern Georgia was looked upon as utterly irreclaimable and worthless. It was lately sold by tho State for sixteen cents per acre and an enterprising company of lumbermen has penetrated the supposed swamp and found it to be a small iulaud sea with rich islands. It iB strange, muses the New York News, that this mystery was not developed long ago. " Many a time tho old wild cat banking system was satirized by bogns issues of the "Bank of Oko fonokee." Doctor Edward Everett Halo has not much patience with the idea that a clergyman must work six days over a sermon. Ho says: "A sermon con sists of about 2500 words. 1 take a cup of coffee before breakfast and write about six pages that is, 650 words. Iu the morning I dictate to my amanuensis 1500 words. I am in tensely interested in the' subject, and A this takes only a quarter of 4 an hour. In the afternoon I look it over and add 500 or 600 words, and the sermon is done. In all, I haven't put my hand for over two hours to paper." Says the Chicago Herald: "Secre tary of State Walter Q. Greshanr, will go down to history as the first member of the Cabinet who becamo acting Fresident in consequence of the ina bility of both the Fresident and Vice President. On the same day in July President Cleveland nd Vice-President Stevenson were both out of the country. Mr. Cleveland was on board the-yacht Oneida, muling out to find deep sea fishiug off the coast of Massa chusetts. Mr. Stevenson was on the steamer Corona, taking a- Pacific Ocean voyage from San Diego to San ta Barbara, Cul. Both wero more than three marine leagues, or say, ten and a half miles, from shore, which is the limit of tho jurisdiction of tho United States. It cannot be said they were the same as on United States soil, being on United States vessels aud un der the United States flag; for, if be ing on such a craft was the same as being ou the laud, they might havo suilcJ around the world, claimiug to be all the time in the United States. Per haps Mr. Greshaui did nut assume the duties of acting President, but that he was the legal actiug President wbihi Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Stevenson both were ten and a half miles from shore O.oes not admit of a doubt." PATIENCE, Bo patient ! Easy words to sp&ik While plenty Alls the cup of life. While health brings roses to tho chock, And far removod are care ami strife. Palling so glibly from the tongue Of those I often think of this Whom suffering has n")vor wrung, Who scarcely know what patienoe Is. Bo patient ! whon the suffror lies Prostrate bononth some foil disease, And longs, through torturing agoules, Only for ono short hour of enso. Be patient ! when the wearyjiraln Is racked with thought and anxious care, And troubles In an endless train Seem almost more than It can bear. To feel the torture of delay The agony of hope deferred To labor still from day to day, The prize unwon, the prayer unheard. And still to hope, and strive, and wait The due reward of fortune's kiss j This Is to almost conquer fate, This is to learn whift patience Is. Despair not 1 though tho clouds are dor!-, And storm and danger veil the sky ; Let fate and courage guide tby bark. The storm will pass, tho port Is nigh. Be patient I and the tide will turn, Shadows will fade before the sun , These are tho hopes that live and burn To light us till our work is dope. All tho Year Hound. AUNT SUSAN'S QUILT. F Jimmy and his bride ain't pleased with that, I don't know what would please 'em," said little Mrs. Doko . with rms akim bo and head twisted to one side, as she . stepped back and gazed with admiration at the object spread out on the bod. It was a care . fully-pioced quilt, of a somewhat in tricate pattern. "Jimmy's bride can't help being tickled with that," said Mrs. Pake, as she smoothed out a fold; "and if she knows anything about nice qniting, she'll see that wa'n't quilted in a day. V ell, I guess not ! I quilted ev'ry last stitch of it myself, and there's a Rood half-day's work income of them blocks with the feather and herrin' bone pat terns and tho shell border all 'round the aidgo. I had that quilt in the frames five weeks and three days, and I put all thetimo I could get on it, and there ain't no slack work, tired as I did get of seeingit 'round." She smoothed out another crease. 'Lomme see," sho went on. "There's 2147 pieces in tho quilt, and a good ninny of em are pieces of Jimmy s lit tie baby dresses. That'll pleaso his wife, I jest know. Here's a block made of calico like a little pmk dress ho had when his ma first put him into short ureases. I- remember it was made with a low neck and short sleeves, liko they mado baby dresses in them days, aud his little shoulders and arms was almost as pink as the dress. "And here's pieces like a little double gown he had 'fore he went into short dresses. And this piece of bluo chain bery is like a little shnbonnet he had, all linod with flno white jaconet. And here is a mece of fino muslin with little pink sprig in it like the Mt short dress Jimmy ever had. He did look so cunnin' in it, with the sleeves looped back, and a tuniblo-curl on the top of nis neaa ! "111 show his wifo-to-bo all those pieces, and if she ain't tickled with the quilt, sho 11 be a queer one. Then Mrs. Duke went over to nn old-fashioned mahogany bureau with brass knobs, and took from tho upper drawer a large, square cream-iiuted envelope, out of which she carefully drew the "invite" to Jimmy's wed ding. "Mr. and Mrs. William P. Holbrook invito you to bo present at the mar riage of their daughter Helen and James Barclay Larkin, Wcdnesduy evening, September 14." Then followed tho address of the bride's parents, iu a city 400 miles from Mrs. Dake's home. "But I'm goin' !" she said gleefully, as she slipped the invitation back into its envelope. "I'd go if it wus twice as far. I ain't seen Jimmy for near on to five yeors, and he always seemed like my own boy to me 'cause I never had none o' my own, and I hclpod to bring him up after his own ma died, when he wa'n't but just iu his first little trousies." "I aint been bo far from homo in many a long year, and I reckoned my travel in' "days was done, but I've got to go and see Jimmy married. I must seo Elviry Hodge right away about turning and making over my black silk, and I must seo Satiiatitha ltose about a new cap. I guess I'll havo to havo something kind o' smart for a city weddiu', where they'll all bo Uni fied up so. I don't want Jimmy to be ashamed of his old auuty ; but luwsy me! Jimmy wouldn't be ashamed of me if I went iu my plain calico house dress. Ho wa'n't raised to set clothes above his relations, and ho ain't got nothing to bo 'shamed of iu any of his folks." Then Jimmy's nuut, her face aglow with loving thoughts of seeing Jimmy again, folded up tho quilt carefully in an old sheet, and laid it away iu a lower drawtr of tho bureau, buying: "I s'posu they'll huvo lota of nice presents, but I'll warrant you they won't have one thutrepreseutsosmuch loviu' labor an that ijuilt. I had to cry a littlj when I quiltedtheiu blocks with the pieces of his baby dresses in 'em. His wife ought to think the world and all of the uuilt. 1 hope to tho laud bho won't go t J usin it com mon. " Mrs. Dake, who was a widow and child! ess, lived in a Bmall, remote country town in which her nephew, James Larkin, had been born, and from which ho had gono to becomo a successful young lawyer in tho citv. He had not been back to tho homo of his childhood for five years. As his Aunt Susan sad, he "wa'n't n hand to writo letters," but ho often sent brief notes and littlo gifts to his aunt to assure her of his affection and gratitude. Ho had not announced his engage ment to her, and the invitation to his wedding was one of tho greatest sur prises of Mrs. Dake s-uneventful lifo. "He jest wanted to give his old annty a big s'priso," Bhe said to Elvira iioilge, tho village Beamtreos, when she came to "fix over" Aunt Susan's black silk. "I couldn't believe my own eyea at first. It don't seem no longer than yesterday that Jimmy was runnin' 'round hero in pinafores ; ond to think of him bein married I de clare 1 can t git over it ! "But I'll givo him a s'prise, too. don t intend to givo him a hint that I'm comin' to his weddin', and if he won t bo took back when he sees mo marchin' in on him, my name ain't Susan .tilizauetu JJake ! Don t you reckon his wifo'll be tickled with that quilt, Elviry?" "They'd ought to be, that's sure," said JMvira. "I think it's a kind of special Provi dence that 1 put in the frames when I did. I didn't cal'late on quiltin' it until nex winter, but I had a kind of feelin that I'd botter do it-when I did. and now it's turned out that there was a good reason why I should quilt it men. Thore was quite a company of Aunt ousan s friends at tlio littlo station to Bee her off on tho morning sho started. There was unusual color in her cheeks and unwonted sparkle in her eves. Sho bade each of her friends good-bye two or three times, and promised to take good care of herself. Some of them she promised a crumb of Jimmy's wedding cake, and a full account of the wedding festivities. "An if you could git mo a scrap of tnoDrnie s weddin dress an of any of herVther dresses for my silk quilt, SusaBI'dbe so pleased with 'em I" said old Mrs. Gray. "I will if I can, Nancy," said Aunt snsan. "mere s tho train comin ! I'm bo glad I could get my trunk checked clean through ! I'd be in a nice fix if that trunk should get lost with Jimmy's quilt and my bluck silk in it I here s my lunch basket? Oh. yoh're goin' to carry it away on the train for me, are yon, Hiram Drew? I'm 'bleeged to you, but mind you git nflPtl.a 4nin ' . .. e ' i i uu tuo linm luia 1 W OburiS. VJOOU-DyO, Nancy; good-bye all!" In a moment the train was on its way, Aunt Susan's handkerchief flut tered frpn ono of car windows as lone as tho trajn was within sight of tho lit tle station. All tho people in the car noticed tho happy old lady in her queer, old fash ioned garb. Somo had not seen for many years a shawl liko tho ono ehe wore, with its fringe a foot long and -:n- i i i A .i . sua, emuroiuery in me corners; out nothing was coarse or amiss in her dreBS, and there was a quaintnoss and charm about her that attracted tho sympathy of all tho passengers. Sho had not gone twenty-fivo miles uelore sue was telling some of them nearest her all about Jimmy and Jim my's quilt, and the wedding to take plaee on the coming Wednesday. She was delighted to find that a mid- die agod, kindly looking woman who was one of tlie passengers lived in the city in which young Mr. Larkin lived, and could easily show her his board ing house. "I'm bo much oblcegod to you !"said Aunt Susan. "I've boon dreadful nerv ous 'bout trying to find the house my self. I hated to write to him to meet me, 'cause it'll tako off tho best part of the s'prise. I jest want to walk right iu ou him.". ' That was jiust what Bho had the pleasure of doing tho next afternoon. James Larkin was taking his wed ding suit from the box in which it hud been Bent homo, when there came a knock at tho door of his room. Aunt Susan was trembling with ex citement when her nephew opened tho door. "Why, Aunt Susan !" he cried, and then ho took her into his arms aud kissed her on both cheeks. There was no lack of tenderness in her nephew's greeting, yet the chango in him was painful to her. He was a beardless, boyish-looking, young man when she had seen him last. Now lie was a tall, broad-shouldered, full- beurded man with a way that made it a littlo hard for her to call him "Jimmy." Ho did not say so, but she felt that ho would rather havo her call him "James;" and that sounded so cold and formal to her. Ho now had tho graces of a citv- brcd young man. Sho found it hard to accommodate herself to them, and to tho usages of the fashionable board- iug-huiise in which her prosperous young nephew lived. Ho might, perhaps, havo wished that Elviro Hodge hud made his aunt's garments more stylish when ho took lier down to dinner, but ho was iu no senso ashumed of her. When thev were going down stairs with her hand timidly resting ou his arm, ho mado her very huppy by looking down into her face und sayiiig tenderly aud heart ily, "I um so glad you came Aunt Susan." "I thought you would be," she said. patting his arm ulfuctiouutely. "You know yoii'ro tho only boy 1 ever had." "Ami you wero always tho best of mothers to we." But when sho was alone in her room she wondered if it Lad been wise for her to eome afti-r all. She did not doubt now that James was genuinely happy to see her, but she had discov ered that his betrothed as the daugh- tor of a rich man, and that tho wed ding was to bo an elegant affair. Aunl Susan feared she would bo out of place that sho might in her inno cence do or say something to givo James and his brido cause to bo ashamed of her. The wedding was to tako place tho next evening, and thero would be no opportunity for her to meet the brido or her family until then. All was bo new and strange to her I She had expected to "tako right hold" and help Mrs. Holbrook with tho wedding dinner, even if sho did "keep a girl.'! 'ere M big, new kitchen apron in her trunk, brought with Aunt Susan to be worn while she was "mak ing herself useful in Mrs. Holbrook's kitchen." It disappointed her to be told by her nephew that her services would not be required, and that a caterer would provide the supper. She did not know what a coterer was, and felt confused and uneasy, and went to sleep half wishing herself home. Whon, tho next evening, she found herself in tho beautiful house of Mr. Holbrook, surrounded by finely dressed ladies and gentlemen who looked curiously at tho odd-looking little old woman in the qneerly-niado and old-fashioned black silk, she heart ily wished that she had not come. Mr. and Mrs. Holbrook wero as at tentive to her as they could be with a house full of guests ; but Aunt Susan soon found it convenient to Blip off into a corner, where she hid liko the little oountry mouse Bhe was. But sho was glad, after all, that she had como when James, looking bo tall and happy and handsome, came into the great parlors with his bride on his arm in her trailing, white satin dress and long veil. Aunt Susan was bo com pletely overawed by this magnificence that, instead of going forward with the others to offer her congratulations, she slipped off up-stairs to the room in which she had taken off her bonnet and shawl. In it was her wedding gift to Jimmy the quilt that had but yester day seemed to her as beautiful and ap propriate a gift as she could bestow upon him. Across the hall was the open door of a room almost filled with shining silver and glittering glass, with pictures, and rare ornaments, and beautiful books, gifts to James and his brido. Aunt Susan folt that her own offer ing, although it was the gift of her own labor and love, would be out of place. It might offend her nephew ond his brido to see it there. Some one might laugh and jeer at it, aud she could not bear to think of that. It seemed bo poor and trifling, now ; sho could not bear to think of allowing Jimmy and his wife to know that she had brought them such a gift. She turned back a corner of the quilt, and looked at a piece of the pink and whito musHn of which oue of Jimmy's first garments havo been made. A flood of tender memories filled her heart, and sho buried her faco in her gift and cried as she had not cried for years. There sho sut for a long time, pay ing no heed to tho noise aud merri ment downstairs. Presently Bho heard a rustle of silk and satin in the hall, and a low murmur of voices. In a moment a pair of soft arms were around her neck, and a girlish voice was saying : "I am so glad that we have found you at last ! We havo been looking everywhere for you !" When Aunt Susan looked up she found tho brido kneeling by her side, while James was bending low over her. "You haven't been np here all this time, have yon?" ho said. "We havo wondered where you vere. Helen was so anxious to seo you. " "Uf course 1 was," said the brido. "Thero is no one hero I am so glad to soe. James has told me all about you, and it was so good of you to come bo far to boo us married. You must kiss us both aud wish us joy, won't you?" ' if you 11 let me, said Aunt Susau, with the tears still in her eyes. "Let you !" said James. "We should think it very strange if you didu't. What have you here? It looks like one of the quilts you used to make. It is a quilt, isn't it?" Aunt Susan tried to conceal the auilt. but James took it from her and un folded it. Suddenly he said : "Why, Aunt Susan, didn't voubrinu this for a wedding present?" "Well, t I did think I d give it to your wife, James," said Aunt Susan, soberly. "I thought that well well, you see, I made it ev'ry btiteh myself and and there's lots of pieces "in it from the first clothes you ever had, and I thought maybe she'd like it be- causeldid it ev'ry stitch mysolf.aud " "Liko it?" tried Helen. "I shall value it above any gift 1 havo had ! It is beautiful 1 never taw such exquis ite needlework ! What weeks of labor it must huve cost you. 1 am so proud of it!" "She said them very words," said Aunt Susau to half u dozen of her de lighted friends who came to seo her the day she reached home. "She was so tickled over the quilt. Sho fairly cried when I showed her the blocks made out of pieces of Jimmy's things. "'he said she'd think tho world und all of it. She and Jimmy had to go off their weddiu' tower iu about uu hour, aud 1 expected to come ou homo that night; but Mr. and Mrs. Hol brook wouldn't hear to it. "They made me stuy there a wholo week, and they treated me us if I was ono of the greatest ladies iu the laud. They took mo to ride ev'ry day, uud they never seemed to mind a bit ubout my old-fubhioued wujs and clothes. "I had a beautiful time; and the best part of it is that Jimmy and his wife are coming to' make me a visit on their way home from their tower next week.

The Mnn-Katlng Brute wns Induced to .lump Into a Big IMt Secured After a Hard Flglit. ANY men havo been around the world four or five times, but a man who has mado tho circle twenty-one times is an exception. This record-breaking globe-trotter, savs tho Now York World, is Mr. J. B. Gaylord, of Inde pendence, Iowa, Mr. Gaylord is known to all the circus people of this coun try as haviug owned shows of his own years ago, and having been foreign agent for P. T. Barnum for a number of years. He has amassed a fortune in bringing wild animals from their native jungles to the United States. He has enptured and handled moro tigers, lions and elephants than any other man alive in this country. A year or so ago he severed his con nection with the Barnum show, and is now about to make another animal collecting tour of the world for a new zoological garden about to be opened in a Western city. Mr. Gaylord looks upon tho captur ing of tigers and lions as a matter of ordinary interest. He says the work of trapping wild animals is done so systematically now that there is no more danger attending it than catch ing a tamo pet. This is how he de scribed the way the largest tigor . ever brought to this country, Juno, now being trained at tho Barnum head quarters in Bridgeport, was captured : "First wo located her drinking place. Then wo set a forco of 150 natives to digging a holo sixteen feet square at tho top, twenty feet deep and twenty-fivo feet squaro at tho bottom, and carried the fresh earth a quarter of a mile offiu tho baskets. This was necessary, for if we had left any fresh Boil about the boast would scent it and change her course in going to drink. Long before nightfall our trap was ready for the tiger. The surface of the ditch was covered over with light bamboos very carefully. Then dead leaves and foliage were spread about until there was no sign that thero was an excavation anywhere in sight. This last work was done with extraordinary precaution, for if we had left any traco of our prepara tions our work would all havo gone for naught. Now, in all thiB work there was absolutely no excitement or thrilling escapes m beating off other animals. We knew wo were laying a trap for the largest man-eater ever seen on tho Malay peninsula, but what of it?" "Well, after wo had covered the holo carefully, we took out our young lamb and placed him in a specially prepared jacket of straps and hung him in gypBy-kettlo fashion directly over the centre of tho big holo that had sloping sides. "Now, I suppose youthiiitho tiger just walks into that holo. Not at all. He is uttrueted by tho lamb's bleating, and prepares for his meal. He reaches the trap, but instead of walking right up and putting up his paw to seizo the lamb, he circles round and round at a distance. Ho is wary. But tho de sire for a meal gets the best of him, and ho makes a leap for tho lamb. He has gauged tho distance so well he lauds right over the center of the pit. Down he goes with a roar a roar of rago and fear, for ho has found him self in a bad hole at last. "Juuo mado a great fight. It was more than four hours before she was exhausted, as all we had to do was to wait until she hud completely tired herself out by attempting to leap out of tho pit. Then we brought up tho tiger cage, a ten-foot squaro bamboo affair, with ono side open. Tho bars of bamboo wero a few inches apart, and about four inches thick. These bars wore securely fastened by smaller bamboo and ropes of wiry grass. Our flock of natives grasped tho cage on all sides and let it down quickly on the exhausted beast below. As the cago was let down over the tiger a score of the natives quickly slid down on top of it. Juno was too exhausted to make another struggle, and sho lay quietly in the cage. "Wo took a number of prepared bamboo poles about an inch thick and pointed at one end. They bend but do not break, and are very strong, Tho men ou top of the cage in the ti ger pit poked these pieces of bamboo under cage and tiger an euHy matter, as the soil was very soft. They fast ened them lengthwise and crosswise a great many times until the tiger was in a cage so strong that if she had tho btrcngth of a d(zcu animals she could not get out. "Hopes of bamboo wero put down ond cage uud tiger wero lifted to the surface aud placed on a litter of poles. A score of natives picked up cage und tiger and trotted off to the seaport town. "There are men who make a splen did living out of trapping tigers ami lions. The king of tlieiu all is a man who lives at Pudaug, ouo of the Malay Island towus. For three generations tho relatives of this man, who is known us Siueen, huve been tiger uud lion-killers. They have killed uud captured more lions an I tigers tliau any other known family, uud Siueen has broken the record, too. lb' ii al most an object of worship at 1'adang. lie has been in the business ull his life and kills or captures ubout loll tigers every yeur.
