One ot the side shows of the Paris
exposition will bo a reproduction of
the notorious beggars' haunt of the
Middle Ages, which will be known as
"Paris In 1400." It has been planned
hy M. Collbert, a pupil of Vlollet la
£>uc, and the same architect who mod-
eled the mock Baatlle for the last ex-
hibition. The district between Notre
Dames des Vlctolres, near the Bourse,
and the Porte Saint-Dennis, has been
reproduced In panoramic fashion, with
appropriate imitation In miniature of
Ynrlous monuments and buildings. On
the Coiir des Miracles Itself there Is a
theater for the performance of plays
by the "truands" and other bad char-
acters of the epoch. The Mayfalr of
the Middle Ages is also shown, and the
exhibition, on the whole, promises to
prove an attraction as a curious recon-
struction of a picturesque portion of
old Paris—New York Tribune.

How Ponipey Ttdograpli
llattio and her mamma were on their
way to visit grandma, who lived over
one hundred miles from "their home.
They had taken a train early In the
evening, and would have reached
grandma's long before bod ti me If It had
not been for one thine—they had to
change cars nt a little station In the
country and wait a whole hour before
their train came.
Before the hour was over, llattle
grew very tired an<l sleepy. She had
tried each bench In the station, but had
found each one equully hard; she had
unpacked and packed over again the
little valise which papa bad given her
for her very own Just the day before
they started, and she had looked
through the little window Into the of-
fice where a young man sat making a
funny, ticking noise on a little Instru-
ment.
"I guess It's a play piano," she said
to mamma In a whisper, "but It doesn't
make any music only tick, tick, tick."
Mamma explained that it was a tele-
graph Instrument the young man was
playing upon, and then for some time
flattie was Interested In mamma'H ex-
planation of how a message could be
sent over the wires by meaus of those
little ticks.
But after a time all this lost Its In-
terest, too, and the nobte of the little
instrument grew fainter and fainter In
her ears.
Mamma discovered this and saw the
little head begin to droop, so she tried
to Interest Hattie once more In the
contents of her valise.
I think the young man must have
heard mamma trying to keep llattie
awake till the train came, for pretty
soon he catue out from the little office
and whistled. Then u little curly dog
that Hattie had not seeu ut all before
came out of the office, too, wagging
his tall vigorously.
Hattie opened her eyes wide at this.
"Here, Pompey," said the young
man. "show this little girl how you c-an
telegraph."
Hattie was very wide awake by this
time and sat up quite straight, and
what do you suppose the little dog
did? Well, he laid down on his back
on tho bare floor and began to beat
upon the boards with his tall, tap, tap,
tap-tap-tap, Just as the young man had
been doing on bis telegraph Instru-
ment.
How Hattie did laugh, and mamma.
to«f and then the little dog Jumped up
and wagged his tall, as much as to say,
"Didn't I do that pretty well?"
' After that Hattie found Pompey so
amusing that almost before she knew
It the train came putting into the sta-
tion. and she had to bid good night to
the dog that could telegraph, and that
had kept her from going to sleep before
she reached grandma's.—Julia D. Cow-

Kindergarten Knowledge.
A settlement kindergarten teacher
was trying to Inspire her small charges
with patriotism.
"I know who made this country,"
said a little one, her eyes bright with
the excitement of suppressed informa-
tion.
"Who?"
"George Washington."
Another hand shot Into the air. The
little Kirl vil told to speak.
"He was a king, she said.
"No; we don't have kings in this
country. They have kings In other
countries, but in the United States we
call our biggest man something else.
Does any one know what George
Washington was?"
There was silence and the little
faces were all wrinkled In thought.
Then the little girl that had volun-
teered the Information that Washing-
ton was a king, and whose father was
a gambler, said decidedly:
"Well, If he wasn't a king he was a
Jack."
The talk drifted to the recent war
with Spain. Here, too. voluntary In-
formation of rather startling nature
was not lacking.
"I know who owns the war." de-
clared a 5-year-old boy, after he had
been given permission to speak.
"Who?" he was asked.
"Dewey," came the reply.
A protesting hand went up
waved entreatlngly.
"Don't you think that's right?"
"No; Dewey don't own it all.
said, almost indignantly
Sampson owns half of It.
"Well. Dewey's the biggest man In
the world, all the same." declared the
little boy. looking at the girl with de-
fiance. "They ain't nobodv any blg-
fer'u Dewey."
The Hoys of Today.
The boys of today are the coming
men of America. In a few years they
m«£t take up the thread where we
leave off, and out of this number the
leading men of America must be re-
cruited—presidents of the United
States, legislators, professional men,
artists. All vacancies must be prompt-
ly filled by them, that Uncle Sam
may continue to be a growing and pro-
gressive nation. They will reap both
the fruits of our achievements and
misdoings, and likewise it will fall to
their lot to right our mistakes. When
we consider this from a patriotic
standpoint, we feel a keen desire to
place the affairs of our country ln such
a condition that will cast no reflection
on the Uncle 8am of today. We are
equally desirous of pointing them to
the trust that Is soon to be put in their
hands. Instead o utilising them tor
mere pastimes by taunting and urging
them to be quarrelsome, as some peo-
ple are wont to do. This so-called
sport may seem innocent pastime to
unthinking people, but It Is at that
stage of life when germs can be sown
In boys that, when they grow to man-
hood, may develop to no good results.
Of all the training boys get, peace and
generosity should be their first mot-
toes. Then the reforms we now help
to advocate may come through our
children. Every voter, to the chief
executive, should bear In mind that wo
are to a great extent shaping the des-
tiny of our posterity. When we ob-
serve tho unpatriotic actions of some
of the leading men of today, and then
see them fondle their children, it be-
comes evident that they do not see as
far in the future as Louis XV. of
France did, when he said: "The throne
is old, but it will last my time." This
evil king knew his follies would bear
like fruits, while some people today,
with their short-sighted, selfish love,
seemingly think their rascality will die
out without more ado. History Is
proof that deeds and actions bring
their fruits. Take, for Instance, the
patriots who fought and achieved tho
results of the American revolution. It
required more than one generation to
complete the work, for It Is not com-
plete. But the great satisfaction was
that the second generation had the
honesty and Integrity of their heroic
forefathers to build on, which mani-
fests that they bullded for the future.
We are also the victims of certain
wrongs which are the products of
small beginnings. Today everything
is Judged according to the letter, and
our posterity can judge our actions
better than our fellow men of today.
I have already wondered with what fa-
vor the coming generations will look
on the great peace commission which
Is being held at The Hague. Let us
build for the future, whither the world
Is drifting, aud encourage the boys In
their great undertaking.

end of ten dayi to two weeks half of
the leaf surface may bo brown, with-
ered and brittle, while the rest is of a
yellowish green color. Three weeks
or a month may elapse before all the
leavca succumb. Tho stems In the
meantime remain green, but they, too,
finally perish through lack of nourish-
ment. The tubers stop growing almost
as soon as the leaves are attacked, and
as a result the crop is practically
worthless.
Treatment—Early blight may be
held in check by the application of the
fungicide Bordeaux mixture. This Is
prepared and applied as follows: Pour
into u fifty-gallon barrel twenty-five
gallons of clean water; then weigh out
six pounds of crushed bluestone, or
opper sulphate, and after tying it in
a piece of coarse sacking, suspend the
packuge Just beneath the surface of
the water by means of a string tied to
a stick laid across the top of the bar-
rel. In another suitable vessel, such
as a tub or half-barrel, slack four
pounds of fresh lime. Slack the lime
carefully by pouring on small quanti-
ties of wuter at a time, the object being
to obtain a smooth, creamy liquid, free
from grit. When the lime Is slacked
add sufficient water to make twenty-
five gallons. As soon as the bluestone
Is dissolved, which will require an hour
or more, pour the lime milk and blue-
stone solutions together, using a sep-
arate barrel for the purpose and stir-
ring constantly to efTect a thorough
mixing. It sometimes happens that
sufficient lime is not added, and as a
result the foliage may be injured. To
be certain that the mixture is safe,
hold a steel knife blade in It for two
or three minutes, and if the polished
surface of the blade shows a copper-
colored tinge add more lime, but if it
stays bright the mixture Is safe to use.
Application of the mixture should be-
gin when the plants are four to six
inches high, aid should be repated at
intervals of twelve to fourteen days
until five or six treatments have been
made. By adding eight ounces of
Paris green to each barrel of the Bor-
deaux mixture a combined fungicide
and insecticide is obtained, and th^s
will prevent the attacks of the Colo-
rado beetle, the flea beetle and other
insects. Before adding the Purls green
it should be mixed with a small quan-
tity of water, and when a thin paste
is obtained this should be thoroughly
stirred into the barrel of Bordeaux so-
lution.

Of all the staple crops ln the world,
the potato takes the first place, the an-

bushels, against 2,500,000,000 bushels of
wheat and 2,600,000,000 bushels ol

produces fully seven-eighths, and one-
half times as much as her wheat, and

ery of life. Some plants do all their
sleeping in the winter, whta tnc
ground is frozen and tho limbs aro
bare of leaves. In hot countries, whore
the snow never falls, and it is al-
ways growing weather, the trees rest
during the rainy season or during pe-
riods of drought. They always choose
the time when they cannot work the
best for doing their sleeping. Just as
mankind chooses the night, when he
cannot see to work. A Norwegian sci-
entist has made some Interesting expe-
riments trjMng to chloroform plants,
and he has found that the fumes of
this sleep-giver make the plant sleep
harder and grow faster when It wakes
up.
Thought Coin Would Float.

a Dutch liner, while on her voyage to
Batavia, was committed under novel
circumstances. The thief, a steward
named Bruyn, threw the cash box con

then Jumped overboard, expecting that
it would float on the surface and that
he would be able to seize it and swim
to the coast of Egypt, which was in

and vhe ba(?.ed thief was captured be-

Spraying Wild Mustard.
The following account hy the Scot-
tish Farmer of experiment carried on
in England, for the destruction of wild
mustard, or "charlock," are of un-
usual interest. The following is a
brief account of an experiment con-
ducted *u t year by Mr. Ovens, of
Torr, on behalf of the Lancashire
County Council, in a field badly infest-
ed with charlock. Professor Campbell,
under whose direction the experiment
was conducted, could not find a field
badly enough infested in the County
Palatine, but Mr. Ovens was, unfor-
tunately, able to supply the deficiency
in a very marked degree.
Th« Held selected was under oats
after lea. A portion containing 110
square yards was reserved for spray-
ing, and another portion, of equal ex-
tent, was left unsprayed for compari-
son with It, and the remainder of the
field was gone over with a "charlock"
weeding machine. The spraying took
place on the 14th of June, when the
oats were fully twelve inches in length
and the material used was a solution
of sulphate of iron, diluted to 13 per
cent. A remarkable result was ob-
tained. The "charlock" was totally
destroyed, and In a few days the con-
trast between the two plots was strik-
ing to a degree. Where tho spraying
had been performed the field bore a
dark green hue while the unsprayed
plot was quite yellow, with charlock
in full flower. This is conclusive
enough as regards the destruction of
tho charlock, but the Important ques-
tion remains. What efTect had the
spraying upon the oats and the clover?
It is satisfactory to find that the an-
swer here Is equally conclusive. The
oarn were practically uninjured, and
the result In the harvest was equully
good, for the binder got around the
sprayed plot without a hitch, while in
the other It was being choked at every
round on account of the luxuriant
growth of the charlock.
Another experlmcr was carried out
in an oat field sown down with clovers
ami rye grass, and 'bo effect upon
these plants Is the question raised by
our correspondent. Naturally one
fears that what destroys charlock may
destroy clover, but, ro far as the Torr
experiment i.- concerned, this does not
appear to be the ense. The spraying
Rush men's Marvelous Sight.
1t has often been remarked that civ-
ilized people tend to become short-
sighted. This Is because In towns and - sm
cities their vision is mostly confined to j i —b
short distances. Savage races, on the
other hand, are generally gifted with
remarkably keen sight, and a few
tribes are more noteworthy ln this re-
spect than the African bushmen, whose
eyes are veritable telescopes, says
Chums. This power Is no doubt a wise
provision of nature, for bushmen are a
small race, and If they were not able
to Bee danger a long way off they
would be exterminated by their various
enemies, whether savages of other
tribes or wild beasts.
A traveler in South Africa relates
that while walking one day In com-
pany with a friendly bushman the sav-
age suddenly stopped, and, gazing
across the plain, cried out there was a
lion ahead. The traveler gazed long
and earnestly in the direction indicated
by the bushman, but could see nothing.
"Nonsense," he said, "there's nothing
there." And he went forward again,
with the bushman following at his
heels, trembling and unwilling, and
still asserting that he could see a lion.
Presently the native came to a dead
stop and refused to budge another
Inch, for this time, he declared, he
could see a lioness with a number of
cubs, a fact which made the animal
moro dangerous than ever. But the
European who could see no lioness,
much less its cubs, pushed ahead.

however, he could dimly make out an
object moving across the horizon.

the receivers decided that the only
wise course to pursue was to practi-
cally rebuild and re-equip the railroad.
The physical condition was bad. its
equipment antiquated and Inadequate
to handle business and Its insutticiency
was such as to seriously injure the
revenues. The receivers' plans were
discussed by the security holders and
as a large majority agreed to the pro-
vision of enough funds to place the
road in a condition to handle its traf-
fic, they obtained permission of tho
court to Issue certificates for the pur-
chase, by means of equipment trusts
and receivers' certificates, of new cars
and locomotives and to Improve the
physical condition of the property.
The plan also provided for the payment
ln full of all receivers' Indebtedness,
the entire floating debt of the com-
pany, represented by promissory notes
and negotiable obligations and of all
car trust obligations, enabling the com-
pany to begin the fiscal year of 1899-
1900 with all Its obligations paid. For
the reason that reorganization was
possible without a foreclosure, the orig-
inal charter of the company remains in
force, and the next annual meeting of
the stockholders will be the 73d. The
new stock of the company Is held by In-
terests which cannot fail to be of great
help to the property and much new
capital has been Invested ln the se-
curities, and there Is a sufficiency of
money for still further improvements,
which are ln progress, with a view to
still further reducing the cost of trans-
portation.

Accumulations ln any housekeeping
are to be avoided, nnu this is the mo-
ment to weed out the establishment,
says "House Beautiful." As for toys,
and games, and books, it seems selfish
to pack them away, or still worse, to
allow them to gather on the shelves.
Hospitals and poorer houses are full
of children to whom such things are
godsends. And as for outgrown and
half-worn dresses and coats, and above
all, old-fashioned hats, there is no
earthly use In preserving them. The
day has gone by for making over,
unless the materials are so rich as to
be perennial In style. Accumulations
are crpntslve and useless. It is safe to
say that a man's hat, once out of date,
never is of the slightest use. except as

Much has been done, and by the low-
ering of grades, elimination of curves,
laying of new steel rails and the pur-
chase of heavy motive power they have
very materially added to the number of
cars per train. But It was not until
the 17th of March last that a demon-
stration was made of what might be
expected of the new Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad. Enough new 60-ton capac-
ity steel cars had been delivered to
give the operating department a chance
to experiment. Fifty steel cars, each
weighing 34,000 pounds, were loaded
with an average of 98,000 pounds of
coal. To them was coupled a new
22x28 Inch consolidation locomotive
weighing lfi8,700 pounds and having
64 inch driving wheels. The start was
