California. mustard Crop.

“This country is now growing a
larger part of the mustard put up in
England as well as” in this country,"
said a commercial man, “and Califon
nia is raising the larger part of it. The
mustard seed has just been harvestez'
in California, and probably will run
up to 16,000,000 pounds, or 1,000,000
pounds more than the crop of 1895.
The seed is kept six months before be
ing ground. The brown seed has the
best flavor and greatest pungency,
while the yellow produces the most
Oil. The English mustard-packers
have made the yellow the most fash-
ionable, however, and as a result
there are ten pounds of yellow pro-
duced for every pound of the brown,
though the brown is stronger and bet-
ter in every respect. Probably one-
half of the English mustard that is
used in this country grew in California,
though it was ground and packed in
England. French mustard is the
same as other mustard, the seed being
soaked in vinegar, properly spiced, for
twentyofour hours before it is ground.”

 

A Record Breaking Machine:

' President L. S. Woodbury of the
.‘reat Falls Iron Works has in contem-
plation the construction of what he
rheoses to term a horsecycle, whereby
a horse can propel a four-wheeled ve-
hicle on ordinary ground at the rate
of one mile in fifty-nine seconds. The
proposed machine can be made in two
forms, either one of Wth‘h Mr. Wood-
bury thinks will fill the bill.

The first is in the form of an ordi-
nary buggy. Instead of being hitched
ahead, the horse will occupy a posi-
tion between the four wheels and op-
erate a sort Of treadmill. Should the
velocity be so great as to attract too
much air, then it is proposed to inclose
the entire machine—horse, rider and
all—in a whaleback or torpedo-cut
shell, the propelling operation to remain
the same. The seat of the rider will
be directly behind or above the horse.
President Woodbury is "so confident
of success that he is willing to back
his bonds against Silver that a mile
can be made in fifty-nine seconds or
better. The machine will be a nove‘
one, and, if it should prove‘a success
will undoubtedly be a world-breaker

JAKE’S DEVOTION.

He Fell in Love but Once and Never Devl~

ated from His Allegiance.

One day my grandfather brought
home a new horse, one that he had ta-
ken in some trade; hitched with a
halter to the back of a wagon, he was,
when he entered his new home, be-
cause, forsooth, my grandfather had
not been able to mount him to ride
him home, says a contributor to the
Philadelphia “Inquirer."

“That’s a fine lookout,” said my
grandmother, as she stood on the long
porch at the back of the house and
heard this account of things, “and you
say he's dangerous in harness,'t00——l
admire your bargain, John.”

“Well, it was this brute or nothing
on that debt, and he’s a fine fellow if
he wasn’t so ill—tempered. Come here
and look him over yourself, Emmy,”
so said my grandfather to my grand
mother, for one was as good a judge of
horseflesh as the other, and that is say:
ing a good deal for both.

‘-All this time the new horse stood or
pranced listlessly, while a negro boy
held his halter. “Take care, Ole miss,”
cried the boy, when the lady stepped
up to the big gray brute; but she did-
n’t notice the warning. She took hold
of the horse’s head and drew it toward
her and looked in his eyes. Now, here
is as curious a part of the story as any,
and it is absolutely 'true; she and
“Jake,” as he was already named. na-
turally surveyed each other. and they
did it to such a good purpose that she
said after a moment to the negro boy:

“Tom, do get my saddle and bring
it here,” then, to her husband: “Now,
don’t say a word ; I know what I am
doing. See!” and she picked up the
horse’s feet, opened his mouth, took
every liberty with him, while he acted
as if she were Mary and he the lamb.
She put the saddle on him with her
own hands, then led him to the porch
steps, sprang into thesaddle and rode
around the yard, Jake stepping as
carefully as if he had a load of eggs
on his back.

“Tell, he was a lady’s horse with a
vengeance from that time forth. for no
one but my grandmother ever mounted
him. No one else could! but between
those two the ties that had been
formed when they first looked in each
other’s eyes, continued down to the
day of Jake’s death, years after. NO
better understanding ever existed in
the whole romantic field of friendships
between horses and riders. The lady
was not then young. She was already
a grandmother (though not mine), and
one of her frequent rides was to a
married daughter’s five miles away,

and do you want to know how she.

amused herself on that trip? She used
to throw the lines on Jake’s neck, trot
him to a gallop, draw out her knitting
and so, knitting and riding, progress
to her journey’s end. There you have
one little bit of pure history about a
woman of ye olden time way down in
Tennessee.

Need of Intelligence in an Operator.

A. M. Pierce, one of the oldest As-
sociated Press operators in the city,
tells an interesting story to illustrate
how important a place the operator
upon the railway lines occupies, even
the operators in the small and lonely
stations, where no train stops except
it is flagged.

“People who travel on the cars,”, he
said, “have no idea what close shaves
the trains have every day. When I
first began work for the railways I
was located at a little station twelve
miles from Batavia, ‘ called Byron.
Eight miles east of Byron was the
station of Bergen. This was on the
New York Central. It happened that
just beyond Byron there was a high
hill; it was difficult for trains to
mount, and they sometimes had to
wait there for another train to come
along and help them over thehill. One
night I received a telegraph message
from the operator at Bergen ‘that, as
the train was passing, he noticed from
the sound that one of the wheels on
one of the cars was in bad shape. He
suggested that I stop the train.

“Acting upon his suggestion, I put
out my flag and stopped the train. The
vngineer was pretty sulky, and the con.
ductor got off and wanted to know
what in hades I had stopped them for.
I told them the message I had re-
ceived. They cursed some and started
out to look for the broken wheel.

“A broken wheel was a serious mat-
ter going over that hill, with the possi-
bility of plunging the train off the
track and rolling it down the precipice.
As it happened, the conductor had his
wife and child aboard, too. Well, we
looked down one side of the train, and
we looked down the other without suc-
cess. But in looking down one of the
sides we had a bad light, I went down
again, and found a quarter of one of
the wheels broken.

“Well, sir, when the conductor came
up and saw that wheel he picked me
up in his arms. and I believe if I had
been a little younger. he would have.
kissed me, he was so glad. I speak
of it as illustrating how important the
operator may become to the railway.—
Detroit-News Tribune.

 

In]: on Tickers.

In every stock and news ticker is a
little steel type-wheel, from which the
imprints are made. It is a costly
piece of work, and when the ticker
was first introduced the company
controlling them was embarrassed to
find that the ink used had such a
corrosive effect that after a few days’
use the wheel was wOrthless. By way
of experiment, one of the steel wheels
was placed in a bath of ink. In 24.
hours it had disappeared entirely. An
operator who has since become a re-
porter set to work and patented an
ink which is now used in all tickers.
By its use the life of a type-wheel is
prolonged to nine years. The ink is
absolutely non-corrosive.

' POISONED ARROWS. "
The Deadly Venom Used by the Apache:
and Plates.
“Rattlesnakes are the chief element
in the poisons of the Apache and
Piute Indians.

“The desert rattlesnake is a dreadful

enough customer any day in the year,
but during August takes on the fulness
of its frightfulness, both in appearance
and in conduct. About the middle Of
August, when the weather is “insuf-
ferably'hot, this snake becomes bloated
from some cause until it is a third
larger than its normal size. Its appear-
ance is as if the snake had been blown
up like a bladder or charged with gas
like a balloon. “

“A Piute Indian who wants to lay
in a stock of poison for his arrows
kills at this time of year enough of
these rattlesnakes for his purpose. He
cuts off their heads and takes them to
his lodge. He places in one of the
rude earthen vessels that are among
the Piute household efiects ten or a
dozen of these snake heads. To them
he adds perhaps a pint of tarantula
killers, as the big hairy Texan or Mexi-
can spider is called; or, rather, he puts
the abdomen of the spider in with the
snake heads. This spider has a sting
that injects a poison powerful enough
to kill almost inscantly a tarantula,
which is itself about as poisonous a
member Of the animal kingdom as one
would care to meet. The poison sac
of the tarantula killer is in the lower

'abdomen of the insect, and it is this

that the Piute brave mixes with his
rattlesnake head. He then pours in a
pint of water, seals the lid of the ves-
sel on with moist clay, and places the
vessel in a pit. where he has made a
bed of red-hot coals. He buries the
vessel in these coals, and, besides that,
builds a blazing fire on top of it. This
fire is kept burning fiercely for several
hours, when it is swept away, and the
Indian digs his vessel out Of the coals.
With a long pole he knocks the lid off,
and does not venture near the pot until
the steam that arises from it has en-
tirely ceased to appear.

After the fiery ordeal to which the
snake heads are put, brownish
residuum is found at the bottom of the
kettle.

The Piute tests this poison before
trusting his arrows to it. He cuts a
gash in the fleshy part of his legr and
draws the blood, which he allows to
trickle down the leg. “’hen the red
stream has run six or seven inches he
dips a stick into the poison and touches
it to the lower end of the bloody
streak. If the poison is all right it
actually burns the blood almost like
hot iron touched to water, and rapidly
runs up the trickling stream. The In.
dian has his knife ready and scrapes
the poison Off dry. If it was permitted
to reach the wound it would be all up
with the Piute. The arrows are dip-
ped into the poison, and the Indian
feels that whatever such an. arrow hits
had much better not have been born.

The Apache collects, his poison in a
much simpler way. He places the
liver or heart of a deer. freshly torn
from a victim sometimes not yet dead,
in front of a snake, within easy strik-
lng distance. The snake protests
against the presence of theiobject and
fquickly sinks its fangs into it again
and again. In a few 'seconds the
heart or liver will take on a purplish
black hue, so quickly does this poison
affect it. When the Indian thinks the
receptacle has drawn all the venom
from the snake’s head it is removed
and hung up in the sun. It is left there
until it is almost ready to drop to
pieces from putridity.

After he has jabbed his arrow heads
into the putrid and poison-charged
heart or liver they are ready for use."

A Question of Age.

A middle-aged woman entered a
Woodward-avenue car, and finding
every seat occupied, hung on a strap
and prepared to stand. Presently
another woman rose and offered her
seat.

“No, thank you,” said the woman
who was standing. “I will not deprive
you of your seat.”

“But I insist,” said the woman
am much better able to stand than you
are.” -

“What makes you think so?”
the other woman, suspiciously.

. “Because I am the youngest.”

The gauntlet was thrown. The old-
er woman did not hesitate to pick it
up. .
“There maybe two opinions about
that,” retorted the angry passenger.
“I’m sure any one can see with half
an eye that you are no chicken.”

The passengers Were getting excited,
and one man-said under his breath.

“Now comes the tug of war.”

Then the woman who had resigned
her seat concluded to take it again, but
first she sent in another deadly shaft:

“No, I’m no chicken. and don’t care
to be, but I would rather be a chicken
than an old hen.”

And she flopped into her seat, which,
however, was now occupied by a smart
woman who knew when to seize a bone
of contention—Detroit Free Press.

Lives “mm a Broken Neck.

Barney Baldwin of Birmingham,
Ala., has lived for nine years with a
broken neck. He was formerly an en-
gineer on the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad. in an accident near Bir-
mingham he was horribly injured.
Several ribs were broken, both legs
and one arm were crushed, his skull
wasfractured, his watch was driven
into ‘the abdominal cavity, and his
neck was broken. Despite all these
injuries he recovered, and is now
sound and hearty, but suffers from
the inconvenience of having to wear a
steel harness to hold his head up. He
has traveled all over Europe and
America, exhibiting himself at medi-
cal colleges. Doctors are unable to ac-
count for hisrcondit‘ion and his Sac-em-
lng defiance of the laws of nuatmny.
