Casasseata and Criticisms Based Upon t tha Happening of tit Day-Hlstorl- aal aad News Note. ' rtttHT a hub tires of listening to a Wftggln' tongue. Borne girls marry for money because It la necessary to have some excuse. If you don't wnnt them repented, don't tell us good things about people. In after years a man may regret the fact that be attended his own wed ding. The czarina has written a novel. She must havo a good, careful nurse In the palace. It's easier for a woman to lore n man than it Is for her to agrco with another woman. Anybody who attempts to dramatise Mrs. Chadwlck will And that thoro Is limit to tho public patience. The Now York Tribune says Gov ernor Vardcman Is very much In tho public eye. Is ho a mote or a beam 7 Somehow, ono gets an ldcn that not withstanding their small statures tho Japs would mako pretty good football players. Oassle Chadwlck's husband is report ed to be modest and retiring In his manner. Well, with Casslo In action bo can afford to be. The Idea finally sifted Into even the Gear's slow Intellect that a man who Is good enough to fight rind bleed for his country Is good enough to voto. A new card game Is known as tho Sherlock Holmes game Dr. A. Oonan Doylo will doubtless object to having Sherlock Holmes made gamo of In this way. Our faith that tlicro Is something good In this country Is strengthened very time we think of tho trouble Cap tain Ilobson takes to keep It from go ing wrong. A new comprehension of tho vast ness of this country Is secured when It Is set down In black and white that we got away wWh 4,000,000 bushels of peanuts last year. Poetic license Is a mllo wide In Ja pan. The mikado dashes off a poem beginning "My heart's at peaco with II," and then goes out and blows a Itusslan gunboat Into smithereens. A Pennsylvania Judge has decided that chicken Is not an animal. This, however, does not Interfero with tho decision promulgated by the Treasury Department to the effect that a frog Is ft bird. The daughter of Krupp, the gun maker, has an Income of 12,400,000 a year. Mere Is a chines for some en terprising young American to avenge the United States for Its loss of Amer ican heiresses to European fortune hunters. Injection of gold or sliver Is said to be efficacious In curing pneumonia, ac cording to French scientists. That may do in Paris, but devotees of tho groat American game of poker can point to many cases In which tho ac cumulation of gold or sliver has caused cold feet. A German who applied for registra tion as a voter In New York Olty was ssked as to his birthplace. Ho replied that ho was born In Germany, and was told to bring his papers. Ho hur ried away, and reappeared with n trunk lid under his arm. "Iloro thoy are, gentlemen. I hopo they aro cor rect. You sec, I do not want to lose them, so I panted them In tho top of my trunk." Ills name was promptly put on the voting-list. Young women attending Massachu setts college have formed it Cross Country Club, to encourage the prac tice of walking, It Is required that each member shall spend at least throo hours a week out-of-doors, and mem bers are asked to keep records of their strolls, so that others may learn about the places of Interest In tho surround ing country. Hut that Involves an other faculty than the talent for podos triantsm. If we all had tho gift of seolng things, nobody would noetl to bo Invited out Into a world of beauty and fascinating activity. I.loutouant Gonoral Chaffee In his annual roport suggests that dusorteis be deprived of tholr civil rights as u euro for tho growing ovll of deuertloiiH from the army Ho can 11 nil no reason-able- cniiBo for desertions In tho treat ment given to soldiers, although ho admits that the "luexporleuco of com pany ofUcers affect a tho subject some what." The replies elicited from men In tho guardhouse to tho effect that "army life was not what had been an ticipated" indicates that Irksome subor dination to superiors, who mako up for their "Inexperience" by a display of rigid, mechanical mnrtiuotry, may bo more blamablo for desertions than Is conceded In tho report. Of course, In numorous Instances the fault Is Inher ent In tho man hlmsolf; and for such disqualification from voting would not bo a punishment too sovero. Hut for such the peuulty would not be a deter rent Sooner or later there will bo an Ir resistible movement for tho elimina tion of grado crossings, lit tho country well as In cities. The present care lessness of the puuitc safety for which the public itsolf Is largely re sponsiblewill In the eud bring Its own remedy, Self-Interest as well as legal restrictions will some day con VjBM railway companies In the Uulted Itatea, as tt has In the old world, that it la more economical in the long run to plaee their tracks above or below ether routes of travel and traffic, so that trains can be rua at any rata of peed desired without the present al ftejMUve kM of Uu r danger of a slaughter when crossing strtxtJs, rmin or other lines, steam or electric. "Tho farmers of this country have In two years produced wealth exceeding tho output of all the gold mines of tho entire world since Columbus dis covered America. This year's product Is ovor six times the amount of the capital stock of nil national banks, It lacks but three-fourths of ft billion dollars of the value of tha manufac tures of 1000, less the cost of materials used. It is threo times tho gross earn ings from tho operations of the rail ways, and four times tho value of all minerals produced In this country." This Is not a page from an Arabian Nights' tale, but Is tho calm, ofllclal assertion of tho Hon. Jas. Wilson, Sec retary of Agriculture In his annual report Sccretnry Wilson Imparts the comforting Information tlint tho corn crop of 1004 alone Is no profltnblo that from its proceeds tho farmer could have paid tho national debt and left n big surplus In the treasury. Tho hens have produced during the' year ono and two-thirds billions of dozens of eggs enough each month to pny n year's In terest on tho national debt. Tho value of tho total products of the farms for tho year Is estimated at 14,000,000 even after excluding tho valuo of farm crops fed to live stock. This Is 0.65 per cent moro than tho valuo of tho crops of 1003 and 01.23 per cent above that for the census year 1800. Tho Increase In capital Invested In ag riculture since 1000 Is estimated at $2,000,000,000. This Is excluslvo of tho IncrcaBo In farm land values. Hank doposlta havo Increased, from 1800 to 11)04, In Iowa 104 per cent, In Kiiiihuh 210 per cent and In Mississippi 301 per cent. Tho general lncreaso for the wholo country Is 01 per cent. Agri culture used to bo popularly looked upon os tho backbono of American In dustry. Of rccont years tho enormous development of trusts and the almost fabulous figures used In connection with tho rnllwny and banking Inter ests havo blinded us to tho solid In dustry that still furnishes tho founda tion for all other business. HOW TO LEARN TO SHOOT. Practice with tho Hide Declared to lie Heat Method. I bollove prnctlco with tho rlflo Is tho truo way to learn to shoot best with tho shotgun, says u writer In Outing. Tho old Idea was that shoot ing a rlflo mado you too slow with tho Hhotgun, and that tho shotgun spoiled your rlfle-shootlng. Tlicro Is something In the latter, but not much In tho for mer Idea. If ono wcro shooting con tinuously with either and should sud denly change to tho otlicr ho might not at once do as good snooting as If ho had tried both; It might tnko a few days' practlco to get used to the new conditions. Hut rlfle-shootlng can In jure shotgun-shooting only by making one too slow, and my experience la that ono cannot be ao Injured except temporarily. Hy beginning with tho rlflo you clttn lnato at once most of tho troublo from excltcmont, because you knowyou can rarely hit a flying bird. If It makes you slow you will find llttlo troublo In becoming quick enough. Tho mun who begins with quick shooting and be comes ft good shot after tho expendi ture of barrels of ammunition doea not become so by virtue of making a ma chlno of himself. It Is because In making a machine of himself ho Is un consciously acquiring the habit of seo lng the gun and gamo In tho samo glauco, which ho could not do at first A quick shot thus becomes nccurato with tlmo, and a slow shot will becomo quick with time and with far lest practice. Thoro Is no reason why ono should not learn In ono season to get Htifllclont enjoyment out of tho gun If ono will but remember that tho pleasures Is not In tho size of tho bag or In tha clean uess of tho score, and never was. Kplsodo in Tunnel. Maiden seated In tho train, Pocket full of money; Duwn beside her sits a mun Maiden thinks It funny. Quickly speeds the train along, In a tunnel enters; Maiden's thought most anxiously On her pocket centers. Quietly her llttlo Imml, Toward the money stealing rinds a hand already there, Itobbery revealing. Fiercely clutches she the hand On hysterics versing. Waiting till tho train shall bi From tho dark emerging. Into sunlight now at Inst Train shoots like a rocket; Maiden flmU she has her Imiul In the stranger's pocket. Modern Society. Translated Into Vernacular. "Cap'n" Jothum Slow had strong ob jections to what ho tailed 'tho now minister's high talk." Since his settle ment over tho Ohuntown parish, Cap'n Jothani had been heard to wty that "church was for them that needed It," and his conduct seemed to imply that ho was not of thut number, Cap'u Jothiun's own language was of n primitive and unadorned variety, and nothing pleased him moro than u chauco to translate the minister's re marks to Cap'n Wlltton Pegg,' the best Ohuntown story-teller. Cap'n Pegg was deaf, and tho minister's voice often failed to reach him. Ono ulght at u neighborhood gather ing Cap'u Pegg, lu the course of a vivid narrative, had referred to "the big tiro In 'ill." "Was It tho consensus of opinion," said tho minister, lu u mild and In effectual tone, "that tho conflagration was tho result of sumo accident or Uio work of an Incendiary Y' "Heyl" said Cap'u Pegg, staring dully at tho minister and then turn ing to his faithful friend for light. "What he wants to know," called Oap'ii Slow, lu his shrillest tone, "is whether tho big ttro was sot or ketch edl" An Unconscious Humorist.

P. Putnam's Sons, New York, stands peculiarly alone. This edition is a two vol ume, 8 vo one called "The Trail of Lewis and Clark, lNH-MOt". Tho author, Mr. Olln D. Wheeler, is the well known wrltr of the popular Wonderland series of the Northern Paclno Hallway, In connection with which he made hla studies and researches for this work. Mr. Wheeler has traveled several thousand miles over the route of Lewis and Clark. He lias camped out, climbed mountains, followed old Indian trails, and Visited remote points made memorable by those explorers. Their route across the Bltterroot mountains has been followed, identified and mapped. "The Trail of Lewis and Clark" la Illustrated In color and half tone from, paintings, drawings and maps, by Paxson, DeCamp, and Russell, made under Mr. Wheeler's direction, and from photographs taken specially for the purpose. The writer tells his own story and supplements it with pertinent extracts from Lewis and Clark, and a host of other historical and narrative writers that connect the post with the present Exact excerpts and photographic reproductions, in half tone, from the Original Manuscript Journals of Lewis and Clark are given. A chapter Is devoted to the Louisiana Purchase, another to the preparatory meas ures for the exploration, and another to the history of each man of the expedi tion so far as known, including a discussion, of the death of Captain Lewis. The Louisiana Purchase Exposition at St. Louis, and the Lewis and Clark Centennial to be held at Portland. Orscoa, la IMS, make this work peculiarly timely because written from tha standpoint ot actual knowledge of past and pres ent conditions of the old trail and country. "The Trail of Lewi' and Clark" should be found In every public and private library In the land and the general reader will find la reading through its page of large, clear type that truth Is, ladeed, stranger than Action.
