W., and Claude Kltohln are planttDf 100 acre In pecan trees. From this enterprise it la said that af ter tbe next ten years they expect to realise an annual Income of some 120,- (100. This should prove a profitable In , vestment, and tbe wonder Is that some of our people in this section, who hare "land to' burn," do not go and do likewise. There Is hardly a finer soil or climate in tbe world for successful pecan culture than we are possessed of. This has been demonstrated by a well known Lenoir county farmer who possesses a pecan orchard that yields some very fine fruit. Such fruit pays too. Of course the market price will vary, but 15 cents pound can eastlyJe bad for the fruit. Then there is another aspect of the ease. When we plant out trees for shade, especially In tbe yard ' and lot, why not plant out some frult-bearlng trees? To be sure they may not ma sure into good shade trees as rapidly as some others. But when they do mature, we hare tbe shade and the fruit both and that amply compw sates for , the waiting-. It will make , property more valuable to be set with frult-bearlng shade trees of the pecan, mulberry or some similar kind; and the future holder would hold his name blessed who was ' so thoughtful as to thus stock the land. There is much in this' idea of setting out fruit-bearing trees, not only In . fruit orchards, but as shade trees. Make ine trees both useful and orna mental. ' WHEN Senator Allison beard tbnt ex-President Cleveland bad positively decliit I to be , a candidate for preuuent in 1804, be remarked, "In 1808 Horatio Seymour said, 'Your candidate 1 can not be,' and yet be was nominated and accepted." Ex-President Cleveland, who for some years has lived at Princeton, N. J owns a bouse in .;. the neighborhood. wTofch he leased to a university pro fessor, a friend of his, for a very moderate rental, and In this con nection a good sto ry was recently told In Harper's Weekly. Last spring tbe ruins were unnsiiaiiy heavy, and the professor's cellar was frequently inundated, greatly to bis annoyance. Having found, upon Investigation, that a defect in the construction of the wall was responsible for the trouble. he called upon his eminent landlord to register a a rot est. "Mr. Cleveland," be complained, "my cellar is full of water." "Well," rejolued , tbe ex-presldent. "what do you expect for tbe rent you pay champagne?" OROVER CLEVELAND General Porflrio Diss, president of Mexico for over twenty-flve years, who. it is again said, is about to retire from tbe cares of state, has a strain of In dian blood in bis veins, which perhaps accounts for the affection felt for him by tbe common people. This good will was Illustrated a few years sgo when President Dlax was in vited to Cutoree, the chief mining camp A GREAT ENGINEERING FEAT. . On of the most Important events of . the closing, year has been the comple tion and opening of the new Willisms burg bridge in New York city. The nest bridge spans the East river from ManfiAttan to Brooklyn just above the old Brooklyn brldve. btmingiy illustrative of tbe won Atrnuturai industries of this country during the taqt quarter century is the! God. afference In time required for the com- ' p!etton of the two; for, while the bill authorising the new and far greater bridge only became a law on May 27, 1805, and the first actual work on the , bridge was commenced on the Man- ; httan tower Oetorr 2, 1800, active oporatlons were commenced on the Brooklyn bridge on January 8, 1870, and it was not opened until May 21, 1883, when, however, its roadways and promenades were all complete. Thus it ' seems tha the Brooklyn bridge was about 13 years In construc tion, while the new Williamsburg bridge required only about 7 years Tbe new bridge wrests from the old the distinction of possessing the long est suspension span in the , world, but the difference is only 4 feet 8 inches. It span Is exceeded but by one struct ure in the world, the Forth bridge, in Sootiand, which measures 1,710 feet, or 110 feet more than that of the Wil liamsburg S bridge, but the Scotch bridge is of the cantilever type. All the . experience and knowledge gained In the building of the Brook lyn bridge was brought into -use in planning and building its successor, and many difficulties met and con quered in the old were avoided, but it Is an Open question, , rather too late for any but the T idlest : disouson, whether, had, the engineer been left to hoose, they would not have built a cantilever Instead . of, the suspension structure made mandatory by the au thorising act. ' V-;; .V X .V, , , .The length of the entire' bridge be tween the terminals ts 7, 200 feet, and as 5,280 feet make a third, it wilt be seen that the bridge Is about .a' mite and a half la length. ; The bridge is 118 feet wide. It will accommodate two road ways, four trolley tracks, two ele? ted railway tracks, a bicycle path aid a foot walk. ' The total cost of t ie bridge, elu sire of the site, has been about ten million dollars.

Tbe viscount's father, tbe lati Marquis de Cbambrun, was for many years counselor of tbe French legation at Washington, and the present attache was born there in 1872.
