The Salisbury Sun says that
Miss Mamie Owen, a young lady
of that town, received a letter
from an old lady in Califorpia
informing her that the latter had
made a will and remembered her
to the amount of $30,000. The
cause of this gift in her will was
that while both of them, then
strangers to each other, were in
Wasbington City in 1892, Miss
Owens saved the old ladyTs life
by getting her out of the way of
an approaching street car that
would have run over her. They
immediately became friends and
a correspondence has since been
kept up between them.

Florida Orange Crop,
If the owners of the Florida
orange groves had given careful
attention to their groves immedi
ately after the freeze, instead of
neglecting them, asa large pro-
portion of them did, the orange
crop this year would be some-
thing like 1,000,000 boxes, instead
of 250,000, as it is estimated it will
be. Of this 250,000 boxes about
200,000 will be marketed outside
of tue State. Withia about four
years, if nothing occurs to give
the groves a setback, the orange
production will be as great as it
was before the freeze"about 5,-},
000,000 boxes. {t is estimated
that fully 10 per cent of the
groves injured by the frost were
abandoned, but many new groves
have been set out in that section
of the Siate which was not notico-
ably hurt by thefreeze. It would
fot be at all turpnsing if ten
years hence Florida should be
producing 10,000,000 boxes of
Oranges a year."Savanna Nows.

ment of a trio of the worst diseases

eases are typhoid tever, yellow fever

Netley, is using the serum at Maid-
stone with encouraging results. The
vaccine is said to produce only some
slight local soreness and a few hours
of discomfort.
A serum for the actual cure of con-
sumption is also heralded; but this
report is neither so authentic in its
source nor so credible in itself. A
New York physician, it is asterted, has
treated six tuberculosis patients with
Professor MaraglianoTs serum with
marked improvement in each case.

have been checked. Theserum which

On account of
~ot our American forest tracts there is
some likelihood that Congress at its:
approaching session in December will
be called upon to adopt stringent
measures looking toward the preven-
tion of this evil,
Much depends upon the maintenance
ot cur forest areas. Science has long
since proved that cyclones are due in
large measure to the existence of vast
denuded tracts of Jand which offer no
resistance to the stormTs career. Un-
doubtedly it 18 also true that the yearly
overflows of the Mississippi river are
due to some extent at least to the de-
vastation which is steadily going on
about the sources of its tributary
streaurs. Some two or three weeks
ago the national irrigation Congress,
which met at Lincoln, Neb,, adopted
resolutions calling attention to the
vrgent need of etringent regulations
for preserving our forest tracts. In
European countries tne deepest solici-
tude is felt on the part of the govern-
ment in the preservation of forest lands.
Severe penalties are inflicted upon all
who are guilty of carelessness. in ex-
posing forest lands to firs, and special
wardens are employed by the govern-
nent to see that the forest laws are
rigidly enforced. Something like this
must be resorted to in this country if
our vast forest areas are preserved, and
the national calamities which flow from
their heedless destruction are averted,
The matter is one which demands the
serious attention of our law-makers."

The Democrats of North Caro-
lina must be made to realize that
if they lose the State again next
year and the Republicans carry
the country again in 1900, there
will be ten negro office holders
in this State where there is one sy
now. The negros of North Caro-
lina cast about three fourths of
the Republican vote of the State,
and whatever they may have
done heretofore, they are now
beginning to properly estimate
their power, and, with continued
Republican success, will make
demands of their white leaders
to which the iatter will be con-
pelled to yield."Wilmington

Every yoar commercial fertil-
izers take millions of dollars out
of the State. It is estimated that
the farmers of this State have
alreadz bought 213,000 tons of
guano this year, against 187,000
last year, an increase of 26,000
tons. At the prevailing price
this will drain the State of four
million dollars this year. Is not
there some way of making here
at home a fertilizer that will take
the place of the expensive guano
that weimport? It is a constant
drain on the tarmers to pay for
the fertilizers they use."Char-

Arabian Horses In Battle.
Arabian horses manifest remark-
able courage in battle. It is said
that when a horse of. this breed
finds himself wounded and perceives
that he will not be able to bear his
rider much longer he quickly re-
tires from the conflict, bearing his
master to a place of safety while he
has still sufficient strength. But if,
on the other hand, the rider is
wounded and falls to the ground
him, unmindful of danger, neighing
until assistance is brought.
Kreaa and Old Age.
Siv Isaac Holden, the millionaire
member of parliament from York-
shire, now nearly 90 years old, be-
lieves with John Wesley that phos-
phates of lime, in which flour is so
rich, are good for growing children,
young people, young mothers, but
shorten the life of the elderly, by
making bones dense and weighty
muscles rigid, o~furring�T the large
blood vessels like an old boiler and
ochoking the capillary arteries.�T
So he eats hardly any bread, his fa-
vorite food being oranges, bananas
and meat. When he eats the latter,
he eats nothing else. Roast apples,
with a tiny pinch of bicarbonate of

similarly treated are important

JUMPING ON BUFFALOES.
Tiger Jack's Truest Story of a Marvelous
Escape.
oSneaking of liars,� said the
western Wansus man as he knocked
the ashes out of his pipe and looked
at the real estate ayent out of the
corner of his eye, ~~] think western
Kansas can show up some as rare
specimens as I] ever set eyes on.
Now, there was old Jchn S. I'l] not
give his full name because the old
man still lives out somewhere near
Kiowa, and if he was to get in print
az anoted liar he might get hot.
When I read an account of Speaker
Bill StreetTs speech up in Jewell
county at an old settlersT picnic,
where he said that he had stood ona
knoll and seen a dense, moving herd
of buffalo as far as the eye could
John to mind.
oWhen I first struck the short
grass country, old John was there.
He got me cornered one day and was
so tickled to get a fresh victim that
he hardly stopped even to take a
drink until he had stuffed me go full
that I was partially paralyzed for a
month afterward. He gave me to
understand that for years before he
camo to Kansas he was one of the
most dreaded desperadoes and In-
dian killers that ever roamed
through the Rocky mountains. 1
iearned afterward that he wouldnTt
fight a cat and actually trembled
with fear whenever his hatchet faced
wife turned loose on him with her
tongue, but when I first met him his
bloodthirsty talk fairly made my
blood run cold.
~~He informed me that he was
known far and wide through the
mountains as ~Tiger Jack, the terror
of the Rockies,T but I was going to
speak of his buffalo story. I asked
him one day, just to bring him out,
if he ever got into any tight places
when he was hunting buffalo. . ~Oh,
ITve been in places that I suppose
most fellers would call ticklich,T he
replied, ~but never any place that
rattled Tiger Jack but once, and
that time I own I was a little wor-
ried.
~~~T was huntin buffalo down the
Medicine valley along in 1870. The
country was just alive with the crit-
ters, and I was knockin ~em right
and left, when all at once somethin
started a stampede, and 3,000,000 or
4,000,000 buffalo came rushin down
the valley, just makin the ground
shake as they come. I seen at once
thatI would have to get out of there
or be run over, but my pony was all
fagged out, and the herd kept gain-
in on him at every jump. I saw
that them buffalo was goin to run
that pony down and that something
had to be done and done quick.
Well, sir, Iseen that there was just
one thing to do. I waited till the
head buffalo was right on my ponyTs
landed right on that buffaloTs hump.
~Then, sir, I just went jumpin
from the back of one buffalo to an-
other an shootin as I went"thought,
maybe, you know, that I could scat-
ter the herd and get a chance to get
down on the ground. Well, sir,
when I struck the rear end of that
stampede I was only a mile from
home. I went out the next day and
measured the distance from where I
jumped from my pony to where I
~hit the ground and found I had trav-
eled on the backs ot buffalo for 634
miles.T ITll tell you honestly, mister,
I think it was a little the closest
