JOHN R. HEQEMAN.
Who Actod as Guide to' Ad
miral Togo on Sightseeing Tour.
New York, Aug. 15. In between
banquets and dinners Admiral Togo
stole forty-five minutes to see the
sights.
The admiral went to the Metropoli
tan tower under the guidance of John
R. Hegeman and William f. Tully,
where he watched the swift elevator
ns it took him aloft. He turned to
Commander Tautgushl. bis aid, and
asked:
"Why don't wo go all the way to the
sky and be done with It?"
Ho was then only n matter of forty
four floors up. The view from the
tower was somewhat obstructed by
the hazy atmosphere, but he was up
for an hour and a half nnd seemed to
take In the whole show with much
zest.
While watching the tiny forms far
below him a young girl who had a
camera turned it toward him. The gal
lant sailorman doffed his hat an an
cient Panama that has been no part of
the high cost of living for this season
at least, and smiled at the girl. She
clicked the shutter and bowed.
"Oh, thank you, sir," she said.
Two bicycle policemen escorted the
admiral's automobile back to the hotel,
where a police detail kept the streets
clear for him. Everywhere he went ho
found that the people crowded the
curbing nnd gave him noisy evidence
of his welcome.
DIES SEARCHING FOR HEALTH.
Liner Brings Body of Pennsylvania
Woman Who Died at Sea.
New York, Aug. 15. The bodies of
Miss Kate Brlce, daughter of the late
Senator Calvin S. Brico, who died In
Prance, and Luis Eugene Lefette, who
died while taking a trip through Swit
zerland, arrived from Cherbourg by
the North German Lloyd liner George
Washington.
Miss Matilda Bright, sixty-live years
of age, of Pottsvllle, Pa., a passenger
on the liner, died of heart disease.
Her body was embalmed and brought
in for burial at Pottsvllle, Pa. Miss
Bright had been traveling in Europe
with her nephew, George Bright, in
an effort to regain health. Finding
that there was no chance of her re
covery after consulting experts, she
started home, hoping to die in her
native land.
They Couldn't Help It.
During the American invasion of
Porto Bico, in the course of the war
with Spain, General Taskor H. Bliss
with his troops, was stationed near a
village held by an overwhelming force
of Spaniards. Orders were to keep
hi3 "eye peeled" and, if ho heard any
thing suspicions, to fall back about
eight miles. Instead of this his men
turned in one day nnd captured the
village, chasing the Spaniards out
Tho next day tho commander of tho
American forces coxno along to find
Bliss sitting in front of tho home of
tho chief man of tho village. The com
mander asked him why be had attack
ed tho Spanish force, when he knew
that he was outnumbered. "Couldn't
help it," said General Bliss. "You see,
my men bare boon hungry for some
days, and tho wind blew toward them
from tho village, and some squaw was
frying onions over there. And so"
Argonaut
Jefferson as an Inventor.
Not many people know that Thomas
Jefferson was a groat inventor. His In
ventions were all of articles of every
day us. He devised a three legged
folding camp stool that is tho basis of
all camp stools of that kind today.
Tho stool ho hod made for his own
use was bis ooostant companion on oc
casions of ootlng3. Tho revolving chair
was his invention. Ha designed a light
wagon. A copying press was devised
by htm and como Into general use.
Bo ah Invented an Instrument for
measuring tho distance bo walked. A
plow and o hemp cultivator showed
that his thoughts wore often on agri
cultural matters. His plow received a
gold medal tn Franco in 1700. Jcffor

Inventions, but believed they should

"Do you hpllovo the pen is mightier
than tho sword?"
"Of course It Is. Who ever had to

GROW SWEET POTATOES.
That Thoy Thrive Only In the South
Is Now an Exploded Fallacy.
While the sweet potato Is of u tropi
cnl nature and Is generally considered
a iregetablo to be grown only In the
south, experiments by the department
of agriculture show that it will grow,
and grow well, as far north as Michi
gan. The ridges for planting sweet pota
toes should be three to Ave feet apart
and the plants about fourteen inches
apart in tho row. Cultivate sufficient
ly to keep the surface soli loose aud
free from weeds, and tho vines will
soon cover tho ground, after which no
cultivation will bo necessary. In the
warmer parts of the country the seed
is not bedded, but is cut in small pieces
and planted in the ridges instead of
plauts. After the plants come up and
begin to make vines freely pieces of
the vines are removed and used as
cuttings for planting additional areas,
the cuttings taking root and growln?
the same as plants grown from seed.
In this manner three nnd four plant
ings are made, the last being as late as
the middle of July. If a rainy spell be
now RWEET POTATOES OROW.
selected for making and planting the
cuttings very few will fall to grow and
an excellent crop may be produced.
In tho north sweet potatoes are du;i
as soon as the vines are nipped by
frost. In the south tho potatoes are
allowed to remain in tho ground until
a convenient time for handling them,
nnd in Florida or Texas they are ixc
queutly left until required for use.
Sweet potatoes should be dug on a
bright, drying day, when tho soil Is
not too wet
On a small scale they may be dug
with a spading fork, and great caro
should be taken that tho roots do not
become bruised or Injured in tho proc
ess of handling: It is desirable that
the roots should He exposed for two
or three hours to dry thoroughly, after
which they may bo placed in a warm,
well ventilated room to cure for sev
eral days. The proper temperature
for curing sweet potatoes Is from SO
to 00 degrees F. and -45 or 55 degrees
F. afterward. A small crop may be
cured around the kitchen stove and
later stored in a dry room where
thero will bo no danger of their be
coming too cold. Sweet potatoes
should be handled as little as possible,
especially after they have been cured.
Hum of the Hive.
Remember that bees crawl up in
stead of down.
Send your honey to tho market In
ns attractive a form as possible.
Stand at the side of the hive and not
in front of it while handling your
bees.
Bo sure that your bees have a good
prolific Italian queen, and the ants
will not bother them.
Tho honey extractor saves the bees
much time in comb building, and thus
the beekeeper can secure more honey.
Improve your bees by always rear
ing queens and Increasing from col
onies that have gathered tho most
honey.
A large number of farmers are en
gaged extensively In honey production.
Some of thorn ship over a car of honey
each season.
Heartsease was formerly not worth
considering as a honey plant because
of its scarcity, but of late years it has
beebmo plentior, and now It la worth
many dollars; same with dandelion.
Honey nnd wax were never in great
er dcm4nl than at tho present time,
nnd beekeeping bids fair to take a
higher rank among the productive in
dustries than has hitherto been accord
ed it.
Tbo present improved system of
management requires that hives should
not stand too near each other. There
should be at least six feat between
them, nnd ten would bo a preferable
distance.
A beo export gives away this little
secret: If bees are kept in a shed the
cross est of them can bo handled with
out fear of being stung. A beo shed
ought to bo long enough to givo nt
least two feet to each hive and sutli
clcntly wldo and high, so that one can
work comfortably back of tho row of
hives. It should open preferably to
tho cost, bo as to get tho morning nlr.
Cleaning and casing honey must be
dono in a well lighted plaoo and a
largo bench or table provided for it.
Tho shipping cases to receive the
honey should bo placed so as to face
the packer and should bo arranged so
no propolis from scraping will fly into
them. It la desirable to have several
cases for each grado on tho bench, so
that honey of tho same shade and fin
ish may go Into the some case.
Waking the Sleepers.
In a diary kept lu 1040 It Is asserted
that "Allen Brydges has been chose to
wako the sleepers In meeting and. be
ing much proud of his place, must
ncedB.havo n fox tallo Used to the end
of a long staffo. wherewith he may
brush tho faces of them that will have
naps in time of discourse." This en
ergetic individual was likewise armed
with "a sharpo thorne" for tho benefit
of thoso who "he most sounde." Thero
Is a record of the use of this imple
ment upon Mr. Tomklns, who wnss
sleeping comfortably In tho corner of
his pew when Allen "thrust his" stiff
behind Dame Ballard to give him a
grievous prick upon the hand, where
upon Mr. Tomklns did spring much
above the floor and with terrible force
did strike his head against the wall
and also to the great wonder of nil
'prophanclle' exclaim In a loud voice,
'Buss tho woodchuckl' ho dreaming,
as It seemed, that a woodchuck had
seized him and bit his hand."
Packed at Home.
As tho new district visitor looked at
Mr. Leahy and noted his determined
chin sho had a momentary sensation
of reluctance to question him, but she
overcame it and began her appointed
task.
"Where do you deposit your wages.
Mr. Leahy, If you've no objection to
tolling mo?" sho asked. "1 am trying
to interest the neighborhood in the ex
cellent People's bank, lately started."
"Sure, I'd as soon tell you ns not."
said Mr. Leahy cheerfully. 'Tls tlu
dollars a week I earn. Whin I've paid
tho rlnt the provision and grocery
bills an' tho milkman an' bought
what's needed for Cella an' me an'
tho five children I deposit tho rist o'

sugar barr'ls mostly. They're a bit
larger and so holds more. But whin
I can't get thim I make shift wld
plain flour barr'ls." Youth's Compan
ion. Curious Forgetfulnoss.
It Is difficult to combine the attri
butes of tho beau and the business
man, and tho famous Lord Alvanley
did not attempt the task. Largely
as the result of that philosophy which
led him to cavil at a friend's weakness
In "muddling away his fortune in pay
ing tradesmen's bills," he one day
found himself in financial difficulties
and asked Charles Greville, tho author
of tho "Journals," to put his affairs
tn order. Tho two men Mr. Lewis
Melville describes tho incident in
"Some Eccentrics and a Woman"
3pent a day over accounts, and Groville
found that the task he had undertaken
would not be so difficult as ho had been
given to understand. His relief was
not long lived, however, for on the fol
lowing morning ho received a note
from Alvanley saying ho had quite for
gotten a debt of 50,000.
Her Early Resolutions.
This story was told by an English
man who lived a century ago. He was
dining out In London and sat by a lady
whom he did not know. Their conver
sation turned upon early resolutions
and how very seldom they wcro kept,
and the lady said: "Well, when 1 was
a girl I mado three resolutions first, I
determined that I would never marry
a soldier; second, that I would never
marry an Irishman, and, third, that 1
would not be long engaged. And all
those threo resolutions I broke. Whom
do you think I did marry? Tho Duko
of Wellington I Ho was a soldier and
an Irishman, and I was engaged to
him for twelve years." This was Lady
Katherine Pakcnham. It was an un
happy marriage, and the couple mostly
lived apart
Between Them.
"Yes," said Mrs. Catchem, "those are
my daughters over thero on tho sofa.
They have half a million between
them."
It was not until they were married
to those daughters that tho young, men
who overheard tho remark found out
that Mrs. Catchem referred to the
rich old gentleman who sat on the
sofa between the girls. Mrs. Catchem
could not tell a He, but sho knew how
to speak the truth to the best advan
tage. Suited to tho Occasion.
