VICE PRESIDENT KING.
He TocU the Onth of Of ice Abroad,
hot Did IVot I.tve to Serve.
William Rnfiis King, bom April 0,
1738, died April 18, 1853, was a vice
president of the t'nited States who
never served In thnt enpa Ity and one
who took the oath of cftlo on foreign
soil, something which can be said of
no other executive ofllcer who has ever
been elected by the people of this coun
try. King was an invalid, but his
friends urged him to take second place
on the ticket with Pierce in 1852.
Both wero elected, but Mr. King's
health failed so rapidly that he was
forced to go to Culm somo two months
before Inauguration day. Not having
returned t: the tutted States by
March t, congress passed i special act
authorising the United S ntes consul
at Mata v.as, Cuba, to svenr him In
as vice president at abo it tho hour
when Tierce was taking tho oath of
oflico nt Washington.
This arrangement was carried out to
a dot, and ou tho day appointed, at
n plantation on one of the highest hills
in the vicinity of Matanzas, Mr. King
was made vice president of the United
States amid the colemn "Vaya vol con
Dlos" (God will be with you) of the
Creoles who had assembled to witness
the unique spectacle. Vice President
King returned to his home at Cahaw
ba, Ala., arriving at that place April
17, 1853, and died the following day.
A QUAINT OLD CITY.
Brace, the Chief Industry of Which
la Lace Making.
Bruges lace has been made In the
convents of Bruges by old women
whose hands have grown stiff clicking
the bobbins back and forth, who learn
ed when they were children from other
old women, who in turn hi d learned it
from other old women, ant so on back
for hundreds of years. Ln e making is
the chief industry of this city of Bel
gium, the capital of the province of
West Flanders, but that it has not
made for tho prosperity f the place
is attested by the fact tha : In a popu
lation of something like K,000 there
are 15,000 paupers. It is n very quaint
old city, the corporation of weavers of
Bruges having been coleb -ftted in the
time of Charlemagne. It reached the
height of Us prosperity In he fifteenth
century, when it was one of the great
commercial emporiums of the world
and was famed far and wide for its
tapestries. The great prosperity, how
eve?,' led to such extravagant habits in
dress and social me.thnt. Charles V.
was obliged to nass stolnTent sumntu-
ary laws. Complications rootween sub
sequent rulers and the people led to
the removal of all trade Jto Antwerp
and the ruin of Bruges tm a coinnier
clal center, but the name and fame of
its lace have been Imperishable. New
York Herald.
A Whale Jawbone!,
The jawbones of a whale are some
times twenty feet In length, and the
mouth, when wide open, Is 12 by 18
feet. The throat, however, is so small
as scarcely to admit h hen's egg. Tha
whale gets his living by straining the
nnlmalculne and small fish out of the
water he takes into his capacious
mouth. It must be slow work, but
then he has plenty of time and nothing
else to do, so he attends to his eating
bo rcgulnrly that he often accumulates
a ton of oil In his bulky system.
Early Rlalna; Royalty.
According to the following entry in
l'epys' diary of March 7, 1309, royalty
rose somewhat earlier in the day than
is the custom now for the purposes of
witnessing sport. l'epys says,."I hear
that the king (Charles II.) and tho
Duke of York set out for Newmarket
by 3 in the morning to see some foot

DECIDED AT POKER,
La Moure' Fl Vt Curd Draw Won tha
Hume of the Connty.
When the extreme western border of
Dakota was colonized there wns a live
ly squabble about what the new coun
ty Bhould be called. There were four
commissioners whose duty It was to
decide on the name, and at the board
meetings the vote for the name of the
county was always two and two, and
public feeling began to run high. John
Winn suggested that the four commis
sioners should take 500 white chips
piece and play a game of poker to
decide, the chips to represent $5 each.
This was agreed to, and the game com
menced with tho entire population on
hand. For two hours little gain was
made, and then a Jack pot came
around, for which seventy-three hands
were dealt before it was opened. Fi
lially Commissioner Edwuvds opened
It for $100. He held three l ings, Judd
I.a Moure held a zltiza;;, end the oth
ers dropped out. Edwards drew ono
card. La Moure dealt himself llvo
cards, and the betting commenced.
Men with revolvers kept the crowd
from the table. After hi v.'i-nl raises
there was ?5,000 in the pool private
money, besides the chips. Then tho
hand was called. Edwards held three
kings, and I.a Moure had drawn a full,
three fives and a pair of fours. Ho
rose to his feet and cried, "Gentlemen,
this Is McKenzle county," and so it
was and is called. The game lasted
eighteen hours, and La Monro and
Winn were carried shoulder high
around the town, which saw no sleep
that night. The cards held by La
Moure are to be found among the ar
chives of tho count', labeled "La
Moure's Five Card Draw."
NAMING A VESSEL.
Why rrealdent Arthur Would Not
Call It the Concord.
While General Arthur was president
and during one of the summers of his
administration ho was on board tho
Dispatch at Newport, and Secretary
of the Navy Chandler wns pestering
him to consent to naming the new dis
patch bout, afterward the Dolphin, tho
Concord, after the first battle of tuo
Revolution. General Arthur was dis
posed to quiz Chandler about his pro
posed name. ITe preferred tho name
Dolphin as being more sttggivtivc of
speed at sea. When Chai dler argued
the Importance of keeping In mind the
heroic resistance of the colonial mili
tia and tho brilliant oppos'tlon offered
to I'itcairu's men General Arthur usk
ed him:
"What is It that you propose to call
this ship?"
"The Concord," answered Chandler,
giving the approved New Hampshire
pronunciation.
"There," retorted Arthur, Inviting the
attention of Captain Reeder. "Do
you hear that? Conquered. Do you
think that a good name to give a ship-of-war?
Then, suppose you, change the
pronunciation and call It Concord, Just
as spelled. Does It not strike you,
Chandler, that there is a degree of
Concord in the presence of n vessel of
war?"
The new ship was called the Dol
phin, but the Concord appeared after
General Arthur had ceased to have in
fluence in naming the ships of the
navy.
Sex In Anta.
The different species of ants are
pretty generally distributed over the
globe, and on this account the natural
ists infer that there is wo.-k for them
to do In the great economy of the uni
verse. In each colony ma'ei, females,
neuters and sometimes soldiers are to
be recognized. The males are Invaria
bly smaller than the females and, like
those of the feminine gender, have
wings in their original slate. The
neuters, which are the workers, are
without wings in any of their trans
formations, and the soldiers are recog
nized by the armor plates on their
heads.
Love of Work.
The love of work, which was one of
the characteristics of the historian
Froudo, is well illustrated In a story
told of his last illness. The cancerous
affection of which he afterward died
was slowly destroying his healthy and
vigorous frame. At one time he seemed
to be much better, andVuen the physi
cian came to see him he noted the im
provement and told his patient of it.
Froude asked whether it was likely
that he would be able to go back to his
work again. On hearing that this was
Impossible he said, "If that is the case,
I do not wish to live."
Animal and Colora.
The theory has been advanced that
the conspicuous colors developed in
various species of snakes, insects and
animals are nature's method of adver
tising the fact that such are poisonous,
either in the bite or sting which they
Inflict, or that the flesh Is unpalatable
If used for food. The believers In this
theory cite the wonderful display of
colors In the eclaza wasp, the coral
snake, the horrid iuin fish and the Gila
monster.

AN OLD WELSH HOME.
Dcaprlptlon of an Interior, With It
Nn mled Shite Flngca.
Robert Fowler hi his book, "Beauti
ful Wales," mnkes this pretty descrip
tion of an old Welsh home: "Tho floor
was of sanded slate lings and on them
a long, many legged table, an ouk set
tle, a table piano and some Chippen
dale chairs. There were olso two tall
clocks, and they were the most human
clocks I ever met, for they ticked with
effort and uneasiness. They found tho
bouts troublesome and did not twitter
mechanically over them, and nt mid
night the twelve strokes always nearly
ruined them, so great was the effort.
"On the wall were it largo portrait
of Spurgeon, several sets of verses,
printed and framed, in memory of
dead members of the fairlly, an alle
gorical tree watered by ti e devil and
photographs of a bard. There were
about fifty well used hoo'n near the
lire and two or throe men smoking
and one man reading some serious
book aloud by the only lamp, and a girl
was carrying out the week's baking of
large loaves, flat fruit tarts of black
berry, apple and whlnberry, plain gold
en cakes, large, soft currant biscuits
and curled oat cakes.
"And, outside, the noises of a west
wind ami a flooded stream, tho whim
per of an otter and the long, slow
laugh of an owl, and always silent, but
never forgotten, the restless, tower
ing outline of a mountain."
PARCHMENT.
It Wna Invented by the Greek When
FnpyrtiK Waa Scarce.
There Is nd evidence thnt papyrus
was grown for commercial purposes
outside of Egypt during the whole
Roman period, and the industry of Its
growth and manufacture must have
been a large and profitable one. In
the time of Tiberius a sedition was
nearly caused by a scarcity of paper,
and a rebellious paper maker. In the
days of Aurelian, boasted that he could
equip an army from the profits of his
business and did It too.
Parchment was Invented by the
Greeks when papyrus was scarce, and
the middle ages reinvented It. There
Is evidence tlwt linen ragi were used
lu paper making as early us tho eighth
and ninth centuries. In paper of that
period the fiber was chiefly linen, with
traces of cotton, hemp and other fibers.
The known specimens are of oriental
origin and appear to have been clayed,
like modern papers, 'the material used
being a starch paste manufactured
from wheat.
The oldest manuscript written on
cotton paper In England Is In the Brit
ish museum and dates from 1019 A. D
and the oldest on the same material In
the Paris National library Is dated
1050. In 1085 the Christian successors
of the Spanisli Saracens made paper
of rags instead of raw cotton, which
had been formerly employed.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Feedtaa; of Injured lloraea.
Feeding plays a more prominent part
in the healing of wounds In farm ani
mals thnn Is commonly supposed, says
American Cultivator. This applies in
particular In the case of horses. It is
a well established fact that liberal
feeding with grain Is very Injudicious
when animals are suffering from se
vere wounds. Such feeding Is found
to Inflame the system nud to retard
rather than hasten tho healing of any
Injuries from which the animals may
be suffering. For this reason veteri
narians always recommend the use of
coollug, laxative foods, such as bran
mnshej and green stuff, lu all cases
where animals are laid up with deep
seated Injuries, as broken knees or
deep cut wounds.
Tho Crib Dltlne Hnrac.
Wind sucking, often accompanied by
crib biting. Is quite a serious vice, nud
there Is uo absolute cure except pre
vention. There have been many de
vices triad to break up t! e habit nud
with very varying sum as. Among
them are tho following: Smear the
front of the manger with aloes or other
bitters; cover all exposed woodwork
within reach of the culprit's mouth
with sheet Iron; place a small revolv
ing roller above the front of the man
ger so thut the teeth may at once slide
off; apply a muzzle of stiff wire cloth
so that the horse cannot seize any ob
ject between his teeth. By persistent
effort the habit mny be broken, but it
is doubtful. Atlanta Constitution.
Summer I'runlufr.
Summer pinching Is of lit tie practical
use In the largo commercial orchard.
It Is, however, much used with the
brambles raspberries and blackber
ries to prevent the canes becoming too
long to be self supporting i nd to cause
a growth of lateral brunches. This is
done when the cane Is two or three
feet tall. It will still lengthen a foot
or more during the season. Tho chief
objection to the practice Is that It
cuuses moro suckers to spring up lu
red raspberry and blackberry planta
tions, which is such a decided disad
vantage that most growers of theso
fruits now postpoue pinning until
spring. Farm nnd Live SI ck Journal.
Straw Is Yalnnl c.
Our fathers dumped trj straw al
most anywhere. If they even thought
of tile conservation of fortes, certainly
straw did not figure as a i actor there
in, says a correspondent of American
Cultivator. It was Just as valuable
then as now for feeding purposes, and
yet seldom was It Judiciously combined
with the winter's hay for forage. To
day we are as careful of lis preserva
tion as we are of hay even though we
may have no opportunity to ship It to
the paper mills. It Is safe to sny that
oat or rye straw when properly cut and
cured Is equal to one-third or one-hnlf
the same quantity of hay.
Proper Care of Poultry.
To succeed with poultry absolute ne
cessities are dry floors In the poultry
house, a dry Interior to the buildings,
reasonably good accommodations and
cleanliness of the entire poultry build
ing, including nests, roosts, dropping
board and floors. This does not mean
that the poultry house must be daily
cleaned throughout It refers to keep
ing the premises tenantable for the
poultry nnd clean enough for the at
tendants to go about and do their
work without being nauseated or un
comfortable from the presence of foul
air aud dirty surroundings. Farmers
Advocate.
Remorlna; Stone.
Many fields have large stones in
them, which are In tho way of farm
implements, says a correspondent ot
American Agriculturist. A good way
to remove them Is to put a charge of
dynamite under thorn, break the stone
into small pieces and haul out with
wagons. I have also tried digging a
trench about them and attaching a
heavy logging chain to which is hitched
a strong team of horses. l!y rolling in
this way very largo stones may be re
moved, which would otherwise be diffi
cult to remove without great labor.
Feeding the Coir In Summer.
The milk flow cannot be kept up un
less the cow has a siilllcleut ration,
says L. W. Llghty In National Stock
man. The man who has a good lot of
silage kept over for August Is on easy
street, likowlso the man who has a
succession of soiling crops coming on
to piece out the failing pasture, but
where neither silage nor soiling crop
Is available It Is profitable to stable the
cows part of the lime and feed them a
ration of grain nnd a mil!. dent quan
tity of clover hay to entirely satisfy
their appetite.
Barley Hay.
When ready to cut barley can bo
Mown and soon after shoull be put In
cocks, where It can remain for several
days to cure. This will n so make It
much better to handle whet putting in
the barn. Barley Is a g' od crop to
raise, being one of the best to seed
to grass with, making an excellent
feed for fattening pigs and other kinds
of stock. American Cultivator.
Selecting Seed Potntnea.
Varieties of potatoes may be pre
vented from running out and even im
proved by selection. To select pota
tatoes dig by hand picking, which will
separate and select the seed from the
best hills. In a few years by this
process the yield of merchantable po
tatoes con be vastly Improved.
Root For Stock.
I believe in plenty of roots, such a
beets and carrots, to feed to stock In
connection with the hay, writes a
Maine farmer in Amerlcan'Cultivator.

Amid the admiring applaudlts et

rounding the Immense Point acerage,
opsn mouthed wonderment expressive
at every turn, so pleasurable have
the $200,000 extra expenditures this
year added to the always attractive
chow at the junction of the three riv
ers. JJumrosch and his New York (Sym
phony orchestra entered spirit and
heart Into the opening, and long before
the first selection, an overture from
Ricnzl, was given, muuh hall was
j'uckod almost to suffffocatlon' to hear
tho popular orchestra le.iuer. Even
In the two concerts the ver popular
bandmaster won hundreds of new
friends, and during the poet-artist's
stay of ten days in Plttsb.ir? a varied
selection of musical off.;rliii;s have
been arranged for the series of con
certs, afternoon and evening. Choice
novelties are to bo heard at every
concert and the enthralling encores
of rhythmical strength aro always evl
de"e of Mr. Damrosch's popularity.
While the hundreds wero showing
appreciation of Damrosch and his or
chestra, equally as many wore taking
In the Interesting views in the other
suctions of the lmmenso bulldingsl
"Fighting 'the Flames," the spectacu
lar, thrilling and wonderous exhibition
depicting a corp of twenty firemen res
cuing, fighting and performing heroic
deeds in machinery hall, attracted and
enthralled hundreds. To picture the
work of the firemen In the fire show
would require columns. Half of the
machinery hall Is taken up with tho
exhibition. A half square of tall build
ings was erected especially for the
show, all sheet iron covered, picturing
a portion of a busy street scene in
Mew York. Then comes the cry of
fire as the 100 or more pedestrians
are traversing the streets In front of
the Immense hotel, near whore the
fire originates. Fire engines, drawn
by prancing horses, hook and ladders,
hoso reels are seen In a dr.sh of real
ism emerging from the lire engine
house on the stage. Men, women and
children can be seen at the hotel win
dow appealing tn the firemen to res
cue thena. Then the fiiemen, with
Pompier ladders, are on' the scene.
The work of rescue begins.' Up, up
the walls of brick the firemen scale.
The inmates aire rescued. The fire is
out. The laddlos return to their
quarters.
Never has such a spectacular pro
duction been given before the Pitts
burg public which so app;aled to the
hundreds who saw It ou the opening
night. It is safe to say that but brief
mention will be necessary for the
spectacle from now on. It is one
which wlil advertise Itself.
There was an air of happy Joyful
ness about the first night crowd
which seemed to pervade everywhere.
From the entrance at the main foyer
where the Canadian exhibit has been
placed until the passing of the big Fer
ris wheel in the amusement area, some
thing interesting appeared at every
moment. The Canadian exhibit Is a
novelty in Itself, and the crowds
blocked the foyer. On every hand are
seen grain and soil products of every
description, fresh from the Canadian
country. Fruit3 are on view In the
booths, while the pictures pf Cana
dian rural life add to tho attractive
ness of the general exhibit.
Crowds centered about ttietiew feat
ures of the seventeenth season's Ex
position. Perhaps the Chamber of
Commerce display In the main build
ing attracted the greatest numbers.
There tho body of Pit tain rg business
men arranged a display of instructive
data which seemed to please the out-of-town
guests Immensely. The relief
maps of Greater Pittsburg and the
proposed canal to Erie were centers
of Interesting groups from the start
to the finish. The Gallery of Nota
bles of Pittsburg's 200 most prominent
business men also drew large crowds,
while the fish and game exhibit was
most popular. The section of handi
craft designed by the pupils of the
Allegheny vacation school, by the
boys and girls from Morganza and
newsboys of Pittsburg formed three
Interesting exhibits which were more
than appreciated by the out-of-town
visitors.
The theatorlum with its vitagraph,
has lost none of Its popularity, and
during the first evening was well
patronized. In the amusement area,
the merry-go-round, roller coaster and
Perris Wbes'., the wheel being the
largest ever built In Pittsburg, were
all gathering places for large and en
thusiastic crowds. The "In and
Around New York" show proved more
than a drawing card for the merry
throngs, and as the passengers board
ed the stationary car and took Imag
inary trips through the highways and
byways of Gotham, the trai pictures
giving the idea of a flying trip over
the busy streets, many were the ex
clamations of delight.
Preparations have been made by the
various railroads to carry thousands
of sightseers to the Expoilton during
the eight weeks until October 21, the
closing day. Special rates have been
granted of one single fare for the
found trip, plus 15 cents admission to
che Exposition. These excursions win
be he'.d three times a week, on
Wednesday, Thursdays and Satur
days. The big excursion days will be

Half fare for children over Ave years
and under twelve will be charged.

the subject of universal Intercut. He
accepted my bouquet and without hesi
