No one outside of the army has an; idea of the variety of commissary ar ticles which are carried in the sub sistence storehouses at army posts. The present extensive stock la a grad ual growth since 1866, when the old army sutler was supplanted by the post trader, who in turn was driven out of the service by an exposure of cor ruption and collusion which involved even the wife of a cabinet officer and dragged the latter into retirement. The post trader carried a few ar ticles which be sold to the officers and men at exorbitant prices, and one of the choice government "snaps" was a post traderslilp, for which men were willing to pay large sums that they might bave the protection and license of the government In robbing the help less army officers and soldiers of re mote frontier garrisons. The variety of the post trader's stock was as lim ited as its quality was indifferent. When the post trader was banished the subsistence department of the army extended its system so as to em brace something besides the ration which it purchased and Issued to troops. It began to keep such articles as smoked fish, sirups, canned oysters and lobsters, jellies. Jams, flour, hams, coffee, candles and salt The list was a meager one, but It was the beginning of an elaborate system and an exten sive stock. The department has Im proved its supplies year by year, keep ing In mind the needs and the desires of the enlisted men, the officers and their families. These supplies are out side the regular ration and are sold at contract prices even to officers and men on the retired list, provided they certify that the supplies are Intended for their own consumption. In the list of foods there are now all kinds of canned and evaporated fruits, canned vegetables, fish and meats, four varieties of soup, four varieties of crackers and three varieties of white sugar. There are all kinds of spices and seasonings, sauces and Jellies, among which are four varieties of pickles and two varieties of table sauce. There are four brands of ci gars and four varieties of smoking to bacco, with other smoking articles and supplies. Sometimes these varieties do not meet all the demands of the army, and additional kinds are provided, but there Is a limit placed on certain arti cles, and the department does not pro vide more than ten varieties of cigars (none costing more than $6 per $100, or $12 in the open market), six varie ties of pickles or crackers and five of smoking tobacco or soup. Saturday Evening Post. DRUNKEN COWS IN A FIGHT. Sanguinary Conflict Takes Place After a Meal on Fermented Cane. The most exciting affair In the vicini ty of Bronson, Fla., of late was the fero cious combat between two of Farmer Hawkins' Intoxicated cows the other day, causing the death of one after a fight that would put a modern bull nght to blush. . Hawkins lives four miles from Bron son and prides himself upon his fine stock. He makes lots of cane sirup also. In the grinding season most of the farmers in this country make beer for home consumption from the "cane skimmings," but Hawkins is a stanch teetotaler and vowed he would give the SKimmings to his cows. So he filled the trough full the other afternoon, not dreaming of the tragic consequence to roiiow. Soon two of his pet cows came up and began drinking the liquid. It tast ed good, and the caws wanted more. Soon they had on a goodly "Jag" and they got belligerent One plunged at the other, trying to get possession of the trough." The other, with a bellow of defiance, gored her antagonist in the side with artistic skill. The other turn ed tail for a moment and then came rushing back, pinning the cow to a post and goring her frightfully. " The fight then became general. The infuriated animals bellowed and plunged at each other and fought with deadly earnestness. This was kept up for a half an hour, when one was knocked down In a dying condition, and the other was just able to walk around and bellow triumphantly. The men folks heard the uproar, but did not get to the scene of the warfare in time to stop It Mr. Hawkins Is out one cow, but has lots of experience. The old settlers around there say this is a common oc currence where cattle drink this skim mings, as it makes them fighting drunk and a scrimmage follows. , In the old times it was one of the boys' sports to get a drove of cattle In an Inclosure and feed them with cane skimmings and watch the fight that would follow. . When He Held the Jack "He was a softish sort of chap, but played a tolerably fair game of seven up," said ex-Sheriff Warren K.-Ridg-way, of Pike County, Pennsylvania. "We were sitting in, up at Lacka wanna, playing for a quarter, a corner. I knew he was dead gone on a girl up at the Narrows, and so remarked, casu ally, early in the game: . " 'Every time a fellow gets the jack of trumps in seven-up it's a sure sign his girl is thinking of him.' "Then I sort o' watched the young fellow, and the very next hand he picked up I noticed his eyes light up and a real nice flush of pleasure spread over his face. So I led out and, sure as pollywogs! I caught his jack, as I thought maybe I would. And it worked so well all the evening that I had a whole lot of his quarters when we quit :cBut he seemed pleased, and went up to the Narrows on the next train." New York Evening Sun. New Jersey Fossils. ' In the blue shales of a valley a few miles from Montclair, N. J, are found fossil fish of a kind which is almost extinct only three specimens now sur vlving. They belong to the order of ganoids, which possessed no interior bony skeleton, but only an outside cov ering of bony or cartilaginous plates. They were the earliest known verte brates. A number of excellent speci mens show distinctly the shining, bony scales of this peculiar species of fish, which, according to geologists, must have existed ages ago.

Oma KeutHckr Villare from Which the ssiacs: man xa isarrea. Calvert City, In Marshall County, In Kentucky, la one of tbe few places In the world that has effectually solved the race problem. Not a negro Is to be found within a radius of a dozen miles, and the negro is yet to be discovered who has any permanent desire to come he.re. To threaten a' negro with Calvert City Is to bring before his frightened vision pictures of death more horrible than by lynching. The peaceable, law-abiding spirit that prevails in the little Kentucky town is swiftly banished when a negro ap pears. If he keeps going be is not molested, provided be attends strictly to his own affairs and does nothing to provoke the ever-alert hostility of the residents. But he can neither take up his abode there nor remain over all night, and so disastrous bave been ail past attempts to break this unwritten, but none the less, stringent law, that no negro would to-day dare to move Into Calvert City and announce his intention of remaining. The town itself Is a small place of a few hundred inhabitants, situated on the Illinois Central railroad, only a dozen miles from Paducah, tbe metro polis of Southwest Kentucky. The intense hatred of the negro dates back twenty years or more. Pew pro fess to know its origin, and many claim that it was born in the people, but some of the older inhabitants declare that It had its inception years ago, when two' negroes married white women and set tled there. The aversion of the people became so great that numerous at tempts, resulting In considerable blood shed, were made to expel the mismated couples, and eventually they were driven away. , This aroused the bitterest hostility among the negroes, and the white peo ple soon grew to so hate the sight of one that every negro was aultimately run out of the vicinity, and one has never been known to live In those parts since. In recent years there has been no serious trouble, but It is estimated that no less than ten or a dozen negroes who had settled in the neighborhood have been shot from ambush or otherwise mysteriously killed. This reprehensible means of exter minating them, however, was always adopted as a last resort, and no one was ever punished for relieving the community of their presence. Old Servants Prizes. On the Austrian emperor's fete day a number of prizes were distributed to servants who have been a long time in the same situation. The prize was about 15 in each case. First on the list was a valet, aged 71, who had served forty-six consecutive years in one family. The second was a nurse, 72 years old, who had served forty-two years in one family; a maid of all work, 77 years old, who had served forty-one years in a nunnery, came next; then an under cook, aged 51, who had served thirty-nine years in a boy's or phanage. There was a maid of all work, aged 76, who had served thirty-nine years in one family; a kitchen maid, 69 years old, who had been in the household of Princess Clementine of Coburg for thir ty-nine years, came next, and then, 68 years old, came one who had been a lady's maid to Baroness Chley for thirty-eight years. Altogether there were twenty-one names on the list and the shortest term of service was thirty years. Our cor respondent remarks that the mistresses Of these good people deserved prizes, too, for they must surely have lovable tempers If they can go on being waited upon by ladies' maids and maids of all work of the ages named. Siberian Rivers Well Lighted. One of the most remarkable features of the Russian navigation of Siberian rivers consists in the thorough way In which each verst of the navigable 3,000 or more is lighted. There Is always a lamppost in sight, and these are paint ed white or red, so as to be easily dis cernible during the day. This must necessitate the employment of at least 1,000 lightkeepers, who also patrol and sound the river's depth within their re spective beats. Each Isolated woodpile must have Its guardians, who live near by In a log hut or two. An Exceptional Lake .An Interesting exploration of Lake Tanganyika and the country north of it, finished recently, revealed the fact that while certain sea molluscs are found In this lake, it Is the only one of all the large African lakes in which such phenomena are observed. This lake Is only a short distance, some eighty miles, from the great Congo ba sin, much of which, without doubt, was once covered by the sea. Bicyclists in France. k There are in France chiefly in Paris- over half a million registered bicyclists. In 1894 the number .was 203,026 and in 1899 483,414.

Motor cycles are to be used by postmen for collecting letters In Paris. ' Female School Teachers. Women are rapidly displacing men as teachers In the schools of New York.

AH IHTERESTIKG CASE. fiEESTS OF GROWING GIRLS WILL APPRECIATE IT. The Story Is Told br a Fatber Who Is Grateful for Hia Dang-hter's Recovery. No. 91 Lincoln avenue, Cortland, N. Y., was once a bouse of sorrow and sadness. Tbe daughter of George Loucks, the pride of the household, seemed going into a deoline as she reached her early womanhood and ber condition oaused the greatest anxiety in the family. The happy ending of the matter oaused considerable excite ment in the neighborhood and, when questioned by a reporter, Mr. Loucks made tbe following statement: "About two years ago my daughter, who was then in ber 16th year, was in bad health. She was pale and thin, without strength or vitality, intact ber condition was that which is generally called all run down. We were, of course, worried about her and employ ed the best physicians to attend her. They studied her case and although they did everything possible, gave her no relief which was permanent. The late Dr. Angle had first called my at tention to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and my wife bad heard they were a fine tonic, so we decided to try them for my daughter. - We did so and inside of eight weeks the pri mary cause of her trouble was remov ed and she showed a decided gain in health, strength and flesh. ' 'A great many people will buy a medicinb and take a few deses. Then if they are not cured they throw it aside as no good, or take it spasmodic ally. We believe in a lair trial in strict accordance with directions and our faithfulness was rewarded for she was, greatly benefited by them. Her color came to ber cheeks and she con tinued to gain in weight and strength. We have told a great many people about them and bave been glad' to do ao." Signed, GEORGE LOUCKS.
