ADVANCE IN PRICES.
Binder Twine Market Rises Half a Cent and
Is Still on the Up Grade.
Confirming predictions in our former
comments on Binding Twine, prices
have advanced one-half cent per pound
on all grades. This advance is made
on the strong position of the fiber
market, and indications are that pres
ent prices will be maintained, although
even higher prices may prevail in the
very near future.
Consumption will be larger than an
ticipated as, from farm papers of the
Mississippi valley, a larger amount of
twine than usual will be required for
the oat harvest, an increase of at least
25 per cent by moet conservative esti
mate. Wheat straw is large and grain
lodged, thus demanding more twine
where only an average was looked for
a few weeks since. This means a
shortage of twine in the East.
A careful canvass of the Northwest
indicates that home manufacturers are
well prepared to take care of the market
of this section, and native pride would
dictate that, other things being equal,
home products should be given prefer
ence. Brands with no superior in
quality, and an excellence such as pos
sessed by the Cover Leaf Brand with
lower cost per 1,000 feet, also a market
near at hand, dealers should not hesi
tate in making up their orders. At
present, however, heavy shipments are
being made, and orders should be placed
at once as better attention can be given
to early orders than where bunched so
near harvest time.

JURE FOE THE BLUES.
HOW TO GET RID OF SPELLS OF
MORBIDNESS.
An Absorbing Interest or Occupation
Ia Best Remedy Victims of "Bine
Ievil" Are Too Much Taken Up
with Their Own Sensations.
Ia there anyone of the human family
who does npt Buffer occasionally from
that "loathed melancholy" called "the
blues?" It such a person exists be is
as rare as the great auk.
From whatever cause the blue devils
take possession of us. whether from
derangements of the liver or nervous
system, or from simple ennui, the cure
for them is the same, unless, indeed,
they are bred by organic disease -which
has taken vital hold of the system.
And this cure an absorbing interest
or occupation. People who ride their
hobbies In season and out of season
very rarely have the blues. Enthusias
tic collectors are also apt to be ag
gressively cheerful. If you suffer from
depression of spirits, then take the
advice of authorities on the subject
and look about for an interest In life. .
Ursula Gesterfeld, An one of her
books handles the blue devils without
gloves. She frankly Informs the vic
tims that what is the matter with them
Is not that they are "too fine for
earth's coarser uses," and that their
delicate natures suffer from contact
with the rude, boisterous world, but
that they are abnormally selfish, too
absorbed In their own sensations to
heed the fact that they are enveloping
themselves in an atmosphere of gloom
which must necessarily depress all
about them.
Her prescription is to smile, smile;
smile in season and out of season;
smile whether you feel like it or not,
and gradually the mental state will
adapt itself to the bodily expression.
A charming young women was heard
to say the other day: "I am too much
in love ever to have the blues." "Too
much in love?" echoed her astonished
auditors, surprised at this frank reve
lation. "Yes," she replied, provoking
ly, "too much In love with myself. I
regard myself as a mirror, don't you
see, put on earth to reflect all the joy
and gladness of the universe, and so I
cannot think of letting myself become
obscured and dimmed by such ugly
clouds as the blues. Ah, never! I am
too vain."
Charles Newcomb, that coiner of epi
grams, says: "There is no stimulant
that is more speedy and thorough in
Its action than the thrill of joy and
gladness. It Is a natural tonic, and the
entire system responds to Its exhilarat
ing vibrations.
Anything that arouses confidence in
life, with a larger sense of its use and
beauty, increases human energy and
prepares the best conditions of success
in all undertakings. We are never left
in life with an entirely empty cup
board. There is always some little portion of
fat to eat and sweet to drink If we will
only go our way and look about us, and
not allow the leanness of our grief
to absorb our thoughts or tears to
blind our eyes and fill every cup with
bitterness."
There Is a very old story about the
famous clown, Grlmaldi, who once
called in a physician to see if he could
offer any alleviation for the depression
from which he suffered. "Go and see
Grlmaldi," advised the physician. "I
am Grlmaldi," replied the "melancholy
Jacques" in the jester's garb.
Poor clown! He was suffering from
the reaction occasioned by the con
stant effort to be funny. He needed
change of thought. Interest and occupa
tion. "It isn't the 'unting as 'urts the
'orses, It's the 'ammer, 'ammer, 'am
mer on the 'ard 'Igh road."
There Is an exceedingly bitter tonic
that all of us must gulp down sooner
or later, and that is that no one cares
a straw about our woes. The man who
laughs is the man who has friends by
the score, whose society Is eagerly
sought and who Is always welcouie.
but the woman who weeps very soon
learns that she must weep alone. "This
sad old earth has need of our mirth."

CHINESE EQGED AN ACTOR.
Celestial Edwin Booth Meets with a
Rather Forcible Criticism.
The artistic temperament Is, perhaps,
more highly developed In the Chinese
theater-goer than In his American
counterpart It certainly was manifest
ed strongly enough the other night In
San Francisco, for Chew Foo, the great
Chinese star who recently went to that
city after winning the highest praise
from the critics of the Chinese press In
New York, was petted with decayed
eggs and then made the target of in
numerable light firecrackers, all be
cause he failed to dress the part he
was acting In a proper manner.
Chew Foo stands In practically the
same light to the Chinese play-goer
that Edwin Booth stood to the English
speaking public. Yet there were occa
sions In the career of that great actor,
when he played "Hamlet" arrayed in
a long frock coat, his head covered
with a silk hat In place of the raven
hair of the mad Danish prince. There
la, however, no record that the audi
ences did not make all allowance for
delayed trains and washed away
bridges, which, were the causes of the
lack of costumes.
Hundreds of instances might be cited
of Indulgences shown by American au
diences to actors who failed to dress
the parts they were playing as they
should be dressed. These are instances
right In this city, says the San Fran
cisco Call, where but never mind,
these cases have nothing to do with
the riot which took place In the Wash
ington s tret theater because Chew Foo
wore the dress of a young man when
he should have worn that of an old
man.
Sergeant Conboy was there. He is
always there when any trouble arises
in Chinatown, bat he cannot tell the
cause of the row. He saw Chew Foo
on the stage. For a moment no one
in the audience moved, and then pan
demonium broke forth. There were
yells and catcalls In Chinese and then
a fusillade of Chinatown eggs began.
The eggs that a Chinaman will throw
away are beyond descripy-vi. Just
plain, ordinary stale eggs they eat amf
profess to like These had got beyond
that stage and were only fit to be
thrown away. Chew Foo got about a
bushel basket of them. After that the
men In the audience began to throw
lighted firecrackers on the stage. To
those outside the theater it sounded
like half a hundred men engaged In
pistol practice and word was sent to
police headquarters that half of China
town was engaged . In battle, murder
and sudden death, and that the war of
the Tongs had finally broken out in
real earnest.
Half a dozen policemen were rushed
to the theater, only to find the place
resting in perfect peace There was
no noise, no disturbance, and the play
was going smoothly along.
SAVED BY AN INDIAN.
How a Bloody Kevolt of Negro Slaves
In Mew Jersey Was Averted.
A bloody and desperate revolt was
one threatened by the negro slaves of
the Acqnackanonck district of -New
Jersey, and were it not for a drunken
Indian there would have been an awful
slaughter of the whites.
Shortly after the Revolution the
slaves demanded their emancipation.
Some of the New York farmers had
freed their slaves, most of whom went
to the Ramapo mountains, where they
found unoccupied land. Stragglers ap
peared among the New Jersey slaves
and had little trouble spreading dissen
sion. The Dutch farmers were not yet
ready to abolish slavery and refused
the demands made upon them. The
slaves became Insolent and hard to
manage. They even went so far as to
threaten dire vengeance, but little at
tention was paid to their mutterings.
The negroes formed a secret society,
and held meetings in the woods and in
deserted houses. At last their plans
were about complete for a general re
volt. A meeting was called in an old
distillery which used to stand near Pas
saic. Negroes came from every direc
tion, and by midnight nearly a hundred
were gathered there. The leaders made
excited speeches advocating the slaugh
ter of all the men In the community.
They were eager for a revolt and were
to be informed Just when to strike.
The slaves of each family were to take
care of their own masters. What was
to become of them afterward was not
considered, nor were there any plans of
escaping the punishment which would
surely be Inflicted on them. They were
for blood, regardless of consequences.
An old Indian had spent the day at
the distillery, and the man In charge of
the vats had amused himself by getting
the redskin drunk. He fell just outslda
the door, and lay there In a drunken
stupor. He was awakened about mid
night by the loud voices of the excited
slaves, and after a time realized the
purpose of the meeting. He knew that
the farmers would reward him with
whisky and tobacco if he carried them
the news, and lost no time in doing so.
He went to several farm houses before
he could find any one who would be
lieve the story, for no one thought that
the slaves really intended to make trou
ble. Investigation showed that he was
telling the truth, and the farmers sur
rounded the distillery. The leaders were
arrested and carried to Newark in
chains. Many of the slaves were lash
ed by their owners until all thought of
r jrvolt was beaten out of them.
BLOWING UP OF THE MAINE.
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee's Theory of the
Destruction of the Teasel.
In his Interesting address In this city
Monday evening General Fitzhngh Lee
gave his theory regarding the destruc
tion of the battleship Maine, says the
Indianapolis Journal. After relating
the circumstances of the explosion and
describing the scene of fire and car
nage he witnessed on visiting the local
ity a few minutes after the event, he
said:
"My theory is that it was done by
young officers who had been attached
to Weyler. After the catastrophe they
disappeared. Young officers of the
Spanish army did not take the trouble
to hide their pleasure over the horrible
affair. Many of them dropped their us
ual potations of red wine and opened
bottles of champagne in the cafes.
The government of Cuba immediately
tried to forestall European opinion by
sending a dispatch which stated that
the explosion had been caused by the
carelessness of the Americans them
selves. As to that 1 want to say that
the keys to the magazine of every
American man-of-war are brought to
the captain and are hung on hooks at
the bead of his bed so that he can
know where they are all the time.
When the divers went to work on the
Maine Captain Sigsbee said to them:
"Go into my cabin and see if the keys
to the magazine are hanging where
they ought to be.' The divers came up
with the keys. They had found them
hanging by the side of the captain's
bed. Furthermore, the Investigation
brought out that the plates of the fore
part of the ship were bent upward.
showing clearly that the force of the
explosion bad been directed from the
bottom. The court of inquiry heard j
plenty of testimony which showed that j
there had -been two explosions; one ,
when the torpedo went off and tore its ,
way to the ship's magazine, and the
other when the magazine itself ex-.
ploded with a roar."
The real cause of the destruction of
the Maine is still a mystery, though
there is strong reason for accepting
General Lee's view. The report of the
United States court of Inquiry sus-.
tained the theory of an outside ex-,
plosion, but said "the court has been
unable to obtain any evidence fixing
the responsibility for the destruction
of the Maine upon any person or per
sons." The solution of such mysteries
come in time, when those who are In
possession of the secret think the right
time has come.
Used It in His Business.
"I tell you," exclaimed the slim Indi
vidual, "that water is the greatest gift
to man."
"Are yon a Frohlbltlonist?" asked a
bystander, taking him cordially by the
hand.
"No, sir," was the contemptuous re
ply, "I sell milk."
Whenever we see the word "felic
itous," we have a better understand
ing of the feelings of a boll when ho
sees a red flag. ,
DOGS LIKE THEIR MASTERS.
Association Causes the Brute to Imi-
tate the Human Beins
One of the most carious traits to be
found In the animal nature, said an ob
servant citizen. Is that which grows out
of the unconscious ".: imltativenesa of
creatures of the lower order. 'I have
observed many Instances of where the
creatures of a lower order have taken
on the characteristics in some notice
able degree of members of the human
family. One might know, for instance,
the beggar's dog, just from the look of
the dog, from the droop of the eye, the
pathetic hang of the lip and a certain
general air of despondency and hope
lessness which seem to speak in the
very nature of the animaL I mention
the beggar's dog because it is a fa
miliar example. The beggar's dog never
looks cheerful, never smiles, never frol
ics, bat simply sits by his master and
broods and begs for whatever charity
may give.
"I have seen the dog character mold
ed under happier Influences and the dog
become more cheerful He was a light
hearted, free-and-easy sort of creature
and seemed to get something of the sua
ner side of things. I am almost tempt
ed to say that if you will show me a
man's dog I will tell you what manner
of man -the owner iswlth particular
reference to temperament and his
moods. The melancholy man, the man
whogrovels mentally along the gloom
ier grooves; the pissimistic man, who ia
always looking at the dark side of the
picture; all the men who come within
these unhappy classifications rarely
own a cheerful dog. The dog uncon
sciously takes to the ways of his mas
ter, and In his moods imitates the mas
ter's way of thinking. But turn to the
dog of the jolly, cheerful fellow. Watch
him show his teeth in laughter when
the master approaches. He is darting
across the yard and dancing and frisk
ing around the master's feet in the hap
piest way imaginable, and be is up to
all kinds of pranks and does all kinds
of little things to indicate the good na
ture that Is in him. He does as his mas
ter and seems to take the same general
view of life. These are small things, I
guess,- but they show just how import
ant one's actions are in life. Even one's
way of thinking may Influence one's
dog and change his whole view of life.
New Orleans Times-Democrat.
Three Ages of the' West.
Twenty-five years ago potatoes were
so high In price in certain towns of the
Rocky Mountains that the merchants
handling them often reserved the right
to retain the peelings, which, in turn,
were sold for planting purposes, the
eyes of the potatoes thus having a con
siderable commercial value, obviously
in proportion to the distance from the
nearest railroad or steamship line, says
the Century. This situation could not
forever endure. There must come a day
when we could afford to throw away
our peelings, and threw them away cut
quick and carelessly. Equally true Is
it that the time is coming in America
when we shall gather up our potato
peelings and cherish them. There you
have the three ages of the West.
Another instance of changed stand
ards in the West may be seen in the
revolution as to petty prices. Up to
twenty years ago, in most Rocky Moun
tain communities, the quarter dollar
was the smallest coin in circulation.
With the railroads came the dime, the
nickel, and at last the penny; but they
came to the West that was no more.
An Ancient Chinese Gun.
There have been placed on exhibition
li Memorial Hall in the park at Phila
delphia an interesting old Chinese can
non and a remarkable piece of carving
in the form of an antique Japanese
sword and sheath of heavy ivory,
measuring over three feet in length,
made from sections of elephant tusks
and elaborately carved over the entire
surface with battle scenes and Japan
ese warriors In curious armor.
The cannon was taken from the groat
wall of China at Shanhai-kwan In 1S99
by E. E. Diffenderfer and presented to
the Pennsylvania museum. This wall
is supposed to have been erected about
250 B. C. The cannon, which is ap
parently made of iron and is a yard in
length, was found built In the fop of
the masonry, with only the muzzle and
touch-hole exposed, where It had been
imbedded for probably 2,250 years.
A remarkable feature of this venera
ble relic, says the Philadelphia Record,
Is that, while It is thick and clumsy
and much corroded, it rings when
struck with the clear, rich, sustained
tones of a silver bell.
Fraudulent Giants.
The teeth and bones of the fossil ele
phants found in Europe were formerly
assigned to giants, and many remark
able stories were circulated regarding
what was supposed to have been an ex
tinct race of men "with teeth weighing
from four to ten pounds." The last of
these finds, which was believed to be
the remains of a giant of the genus
homo, was discovered during the reign
of Louis XIV. and was referred to as
the giant of Dauphlne.
These gigantic remains were discov
ered by a surgeon, who stated they
were inclosed in an enormous sepulchre
covered with a stone slab which bore
the Inscription, "Teutobochts Rex," and
that In the vicinity there were also
found coins and medals, all of which
showed the remains to be those of a
giant king of Cimbri, who fought
against Marius and was slain. It was
afterward proved that the surgeon dis
coverer of these gigantic remains was
as great a fraud as the man who manu'
factured the plaster cast known as the
Cardiff Giant"

have money lying idle, can by the use
of these certificates get interest np to
the very date on which they withdraw
the money. If, for example, a farmer
had to make a payment on the 15th of
December, and he held one of the Port

HOW ABOUT IT?
When you strike a stamp with the ordinary
posh cat mower, something happens about as
shown in the above Illustration, and they are
ail push cnts, and all will do this except the
Champion Draw Cat Mower.
This serves to show that presmiro against the
bar will raise the wheels from ground, decrease
traction and catting power. With the Cham
pion Draw Cat the contrary Is the result pres
sure against the bar in heavy cutting gives
downward pull, holding the wheels tighter to
the ground. Increased traction, more power,
making the most powerful cutter on the mar
ket. This fact stands undisputed, and if you
want the best mower made, buy the Champion
Draw Cut
