' THE AMATEUR GARDENER. An IllnatrtlT sample at What H Doh Mot Know About I ardanaliiff. One of the recently married eou ' pies rented a house In the suburbs and started to housekeeping on their own account, relates the Memphis Bcimnar. They planted a garden. Recently the husband was looking over ine new vegetables as they were bursting through the ground, and with his wife was discussing the .appearance of the different plants as they appeared above the ground, most of which were new to them. They came to the row of beans which were just shooting their heads into the air and marveled that the seed should be thus thrust up. It appeared to the husband that the or der of their appearance was re versed. lie pondered the matter over and, a ter giving it due consideration, d ided that it would be a pity to have the beans ruined through their ignorance of the proper manner of coming through the ground. To save them this catastrophe, he pulled them all up, and reset them with the sed underneath, where he thought a good seed should be. "When the Southdown drummer re turned to the city the other day from his regular run over the Illinois circuit, says the Chicago Inter Ocean, it was evidence that he had run across a "new one" during the week. Being an un usually acute observer, he rarely lets anything go by him, and, therefore, the Iea;;-year doings down in the corn b'-1' have not ?. oti. tin noticed. " v Ml. sir. it's a fact." he said in to!'!n.' of the trip, "that the matri monii business has fallen of? about 50 P r cent, thronr-bout the rtrit?.

DIDN'T LIKE THE EAST ROOM. Womi YlaJtor at the Whit How Wm Hot Favorablr opmm4 with Faralahlaaa. "Is it soUd gold?" The eager questioner was a country woman, a member of a large party which a railroad agent was piloting through the East room at the white house. She pointed to the piano with the gold-leaf coating aa she asked the question. The guide attempted to evade the woman's question by referring to the seals of the 13 original states which adorn the hides of the instrument, and explained that it is the one hundred thousandth piano manufactured by a prominent American firm, says the Washington Times. Is it solid gold?" the woman inter posed. Still the guide did not answer. "You will notice that there are 13 settees in this room, one for eaeh of the original states," he continued. ut l want to know whether the piano is solid gold," the woman in si6ted. "No, madam, it is not solid jrold."the guide remarked, with a slight display oi temper. iiun: the woman retorted. "I've seen calliopes that looked better and m nopen mat it had value to recom mend it. When there's only one real piece of furniture in a room of this size a person sort of expects that it'll oe worth while cominerto see. I can't find anything fine about this room but the view you sret from the south win dows." A TERRIBLE PENALTY. Makes digestion sod aeeimilatfon per feet.

The bust of Thackeray in Westmin ster abbey had several years ago upon its cheeks thote ptndant whiskers that are called "weepers" from their resemblance to the foliage of the wil low. To-day the whisker are no longer there, says n Lon!n paper. Their destruction wr due to YVi'ilimM H. bainbert. of riii!.':i'eiphia. the great est collector f Ttisrkeif.yana in this country, who has many portraits in oil and mmv in inl. pencil and v.nsli sketches of Tliaclf r?iy, and heree should know how the novelist loikcd at every stage of his life. Mr. Lambert is sure that Thackeray never wore "weepers," and. therefore, he volun teered not long sir.ee to stand the ex pense of the removal of the objection able whiskers from the otherwise ac curate and spirited Mnrochetti bust. Mrs. Thackeray Ritchie arranged the matter; the bust was taken for a brief space out of Westminster and the whiskers were trimmed down to the proper length. Mr. Lambert was per- mi Med to have a repllea made of the Westminster bust, and 14 now stands on one of the landings of the stairway of his house in Qermaniown. The Law Times makes the following comment on the sentences passed on the Humberts, the notorious French swindlers: "Some of the comments in the press on the sentence paaaed on Mme. Humbert and her husband (the other pair of culprits cane off more lightly) betray a very imerftct appre ciation of its nature. Five years' re clusion, or solitary confinement as it is understood in France, is not only a rigorous but a terrible penalty. Our own code orfars no parallel to it and it is prolnide that a life sentence of penal servitude in ibis country would bo far more easily endured. The solitude of the prisoner In reclnsion In all but ab solute. The strictest, silence is enforced. Presumably ths consolations of religion whatever that may amount to in so dreadful a situation are not entirely withheld; otherwise the prisoner is for bidden to speak, even to his gu&rdiAn. Rooks are dtnied and (which must be almost the worst infliction of all) the most complete idleness is .'.!; rctJ; no employment of any desTir,Ucu may mitigate the appalling va ancy of days, weeks and years. Half an ho-ir'a ex ercise is allowed dally, in a hood which covers everything except the eye?. This horrible life In death may end in the tomb, but it is more likely to end in the padded cell of the maniac." ss. State of Ohio, County of Toledo; Frank J.

The commissioner cf Internal revenue has decided that it Is permissible for state prisons to manufacture tobacco or cigars for its own inn?1?R without pay ing Ucenee. The comn.isinnor pays: "I would say that upon careful consid eration of the question involved. It ls held that a charitable or other Institu tion conducted by the stale and under state authority, with its own operatives, has the right to manufacture tobacco, cigars, or any other tobacco product without the payment of tax when all puch manufactured tobacco is used ex clusively within the stat Institution. 'The tobacco must, ticwcvc r. be manu factured within the limits of the stato Institution, and no portion of It be re moved therefrom. If any portion of such manufactured tobacco is found out side of the limits of the institution, it will be liable to seizure and forfeiture, the 6ame as any other unstamped manu factured tobacco w hich niieht be found upon the mar' et." MINING AT GREAT DEPTHS. Ooppar 9 aft In Lake Superior R. Son Bartnda NMarljr a MUe Under Grouad. In no other district In the world are active mining operations earried on at such depth as in the Lake Su perior copper region, says the Chi cago Chronicle. The No. 5 shaft of the Tamari'ii mine is the deepest in the world, having attained a verti cle depth of -l.SMO ftet. nearly a mile. Not far behind it is the lied Jacket shaft of the Calumet A Hecla, which is down 4.C20 feet. Another deep shaft of the Calumet & Herds ie the No 4 of the Calumet branch of the property. This in down 7,800 feet on an incline of a mile and a half. In view of the marvelous efficiency of the modern hoisting engine no considerations of a mechanical na ture need limit the proapective depth of shafts. The greatest obstacle to deep min ing is the proportionate increase in temperature. In the Lake Superior copper district State Geologist Lake has ascrrtained vhat the temperature in the mine varies one degree for every 110 feet. The temperature in the deepest ahnfta at the Tamarack and Calumet & lleola varies between S5 and Xx degrees, and in view of these conditions it is evident that considerable depths ean yet be at tained in this section. Brewer DUa't Kaow Htft, Congressman Ruppert, of New Yrk, is one of the best known brew ers in that city. It is of this same brewer thst a story is told which is worth repcati. He was traveling in the upper part of New York state along the line of the New York Central railroad, when he noticed some vines growing in great profusion. "What kind of vines are those, con ductor?" afked Mr. Ruppert. "I no tice a great" many of them along the railroad here." "Those," said the conductor, Lops."
