Yopp, a prominent citizen, while fishing yesterday at Middle Sound Beach , about six miles from this city. He was walking along the seashore and discovered on the beach &n empty pint flask which contained come printed matter. His curiosity was aroused by the occurrence so he broke open the flask to see what manner of document was contained therein. He found that the paper was a small pamphlet consisting of eight rages and of a dingy brown cover caused by the long confinement in the bottle. The title of the tract which is printed in the Spanish lan guage and the whole of which can be easily read, is "Testimony of a mor tal (or man) for Jesus," by Isabel Newton Williams. The pamphlet was T;ublished by "Sociedad Americana de Tratados at 1G0 Nassau street, New York," but no date is named. Mr. Yopp ctatcs that a strong order of Jamaica rum came from the bottle f.o it is very probable that" some Spanish sailor in the Southern seas 1 laced the tract in the bottle and tiirew it into the ocean. The paper inust have been in the bottle at least f cveral years, to judge from its ap I earance. Sentimental Ycuth (to partner, r.liaken by a passing tremor) Oh, 1 hope you don't foci cold?

Lying awake nights makes it hard to keep awake "and do things in day time. To take "tonics and stimulants" tinder such circumstances is like set ting the house on fire to see if you can put it out. The right kind of food promotes re freshing sleep at night and a wide awake individual during the day. A lady changed her old way of eating to Grape-Nuts, and says: "For about three years I had been a great sufferer from indigestion. Af ter trying several kinds of medicine the doctor would ask me to drop off potatoes, then meat, and so on, but in a few days that craving, gnawing feeling would start up, and I would vomit everything I had ate and drank. "When I started on Grape-Nuts vom iting stopped, and the bloating feeling which was so depressink disappeared entirely. "My mother was very much bothered with diarrhoea before commencing the Grape-Nuts, because her stomach was so weak she could not digest her feed. Since using Grape-Nuts she .is well, and says she don't think she could' live without it. ,'Tt is a great brain restorer and nerve builder for I can sleep as sound and undisturbed after a supper of Grape-Nuts as in the old days when I could not realize what they meant . by a "bad stomach." There is no medi cine so beneficial to nerves and brain as a good night's sleep, such as you can enjoy after - eating Grape-Nuts." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason." Parlor Car Amenities. From Puck. "Porter: said the fussy lady in the parlor car, "I wish you would open this window." The lady in the seat directly across the car heard the reouest, and drew a cloak about her. - linif CS "Porter, if tnat window is opened," she snapped, testily, "I shall freeze to death." "And if the window is kept closed," returned the other passenger, "I shall surely suffocate." The porter stood timidly between the two fires. "Porter," remarked the comercial traveler, "your duty is very plain. Open the window and freeze one lady. Then close it and suffocate the other." Many Other Crops . Tr is said to be the opinion of the Agricultural Department that diversl-1 fled farming has come ro siay m cotton region, although it still has od stacles to overcome. W. J. Spillman, who has charge of farm management investigation for the Department of Agriculture, re marks that the peopled of the South generally recognize the. desirability of growingv other crops ' -besides K cotton, b.ut witbmanyvlt tsrnot a, simple matter;-'' ' " 4 rin the old 1 day,i' said ' Mr. Spill man, "when the soil was not exhaus ted, the demand for cotton exceeded the supply, and the cultivation of the staple was immerasely profitable. Con sequently a single crop system of farming developed. Furthermore, cot ton is an easy crop to grow. Many of the laborers adapted to its culti vation are incapable of the proper management of dairy cows and other classes of live stock. Therefore for several generations the labor of the South was trained to grow cotton, and today naturally objects to innovations It is necessary, therefore, to train the available labor in entirely new chan nels." Mr. Spillman says the greatest de sideratum in the diversification of farm products in the South is the develop ment of live stock farming. This would give much greater stability to agricultural industries. It helps to supply extensive home markets and thus keeps money at home, and at the same time would add greatly to the fertility of the soil, thus increas ing production. It has been fully demonstrated on many farms that one third of the land now devoted to cot ton can be made to produce as much cotton as is grown on all of it, while the other two-thirds of the acreage is capable of producing the forage needed for farm stock, the fruits and vegetables required for home use and local markets, and with few exceptions all other food supplies which are now imported from other sections "The beginning of diversification on cotton plantations in the South," said Mr. Spillman, "should be the effort to supply home needs as far as these may be supplied from the farm. Af ter that the aim should be to supply local markets. By the time these de mands are met outlets will open for any surplus that may be produced, ex cept in the case of the most perish able products." Q ut of Sorts? It's your liver!

The reported destruction " by the Chilean earthquake of the Island ot Juan Fernandez lends a final touch cf romance, to the scene bf the lone habitation of Alexander -Selkirk,, the historic original of Defoe's "Robin son Crusoe." Since its discovery in the Sixteenth Century by Juan Fernandez, a pilot with Pizarro, the island has had a strange, history. It was the rendez vous of the Dutch pirates Le Mairr and Shonten In 1616, and for the next two centuries the , piratical, rovers ,.01" the -South Seas made it their base, it is doubtfully related of Sharp, the English buccaneer, who landed there during Selkirk's sojourn between the years 1704 and 1709, that, on being pursued by a caravel sent out bv the Governor of Valparaiso, he left be hind in his haste a black who be came Selkirk's companion and the protype of Crusoe's man Fridav. This is probably a myth. Indeed, tie true source of the entire plot of Defoe's tale may possibly be looked for in a Crusoe legend of undoubt ed antiquity, which is the inheritance of many peoples. The island was later successively made into a Spanish fort, a Chilean convict station, and finally, until the Valparaiso earthquake, a hamlet of peaceful inhabitants was situated in its valley. Juan Fernandez lies some 360 miles west of Valparaiso and the report of Its destruction is? at least temporarily admissible from the fact of its volcanic origin. Tales have been told of light emanating from one of the loftier peaks, which rose in inaccessible grandeur to a height of 3,000 feet above the sea. Exami ration of the stratified tufa, old lava formations, and greenstone, of which it was composed,- seemed to show, however, that the mountain must lave been long quiescent.
