Mexican Mesquite Introduced By Priest Now Proves a Valuable Crop. To an accidential afterthought of the old Spanish priests who came here many years ago from the Southwest mainland is due the springing up of a new industry as novel as it is immensely profitable. This after thought was the intro duction into the island of the in- i significant Mexican mesquite, the first of which was planted near the convent on what is now Fort street. The priests, however, were ! astonished to" see this little scrub, ! with witch they were so familiar over seas swell into a large gnarl ed tree. Almcst half a century has passed since that convent tree was planted, and now on the entire eight islands the semitropical rains and fecun dity of the soil have produced im mense groves of the transplanted mesquite, sDmetimes covering 8,000 acres at ' a stretch- But the trees have lost their old appearance.The former little scrubs are now averag ing the size cf large apple trees, sometimes twice as large, but the leaves, the order, and the scraggy j appearance are unchanged. ' The bean has grown with the tree The "kiawe" or "algeroba," as it is known in the islands. bears immense crops of great yellow beans.twenty tons to the acre be ing an average estimate. For years is has been known that this bean is one of the best fodders for live stock ever discovered. It posseses more nutriment to the pound than the barley and wheat hay does com bined, and costs nothing to raise.. The wilder the trees are permits to grow the thicker and faster they do so. Until lately it has been impossi ble to grind the bean in order to make it palatable to the stock. Ov,Ting to its gummy nature, it has clogged the mechancial efforts of 30 years- In that time experts have even been imported from Germany tn devise means of preparing the bean, but all have failed. Finally a Honolula man succeeded in invent ing a machine that met every re quirement, and tons of the crush es beans are now being turned out for the daries immediately sur rounding Honolula. About two months ago, Japan sent, for a large sample of prepared be?in, and is reported to have suc cessfully experimented with it, pre paratory to adopting it as a food for itt cavalry stock. On,, the great Hawaiian plantations, however, are hordes of horses and cattle, and an immediate market is at hand. The agricultural board has pre pared estimates which show a great profit in the bean. From one 8,000 acre tract on Moloki, covered with the kiawe, it is believed that 160, 000 tons can be harvested yearly. At the current rate this means a clear profit above shipping of $3,200,000. ingof Externals Is the one Standard prep aration universally and enthusiastically endorsed by Doctor, Druggist, Lay man.

Had not the Kentucky parentage of Gov-elect Lee Cruce of Oklaho ma been made known previously to the public, he must inevitably have been discovered as the result of van interview attributed to him in which he was quoted as giving reasons for his refusal to wear a dress suit at the inauguration ball. The stat esman whom Oklahoma delights to honor averred that dress suits are all right for them as likes 'em,but concluded he would attend the af fair clad in his jimswinger, which he considered ought to be the sum mit of sartorial aspiration for such as he. That was about all the explanation he gave. But that word "jimswing er" what Kentuckian would not have known, immediately upon hear ing it, that Kentucky had become mother .of another governor?Here where Gov. Cruce was born, the jimswinger has in considerable measure been discarded in favor of the ordinary sack business suit of the "Prince Albert," and we wear dress suits just as elsewhere. When a man desires to dress up there .is often .nothing to bridge the chasm between sackcoat and cla whammer. It is highly probable.how ever, that in some sections of the State the jimswinger still prevails as the height of conventional at tire for formal occasions, such as county court day, election day,Night Riding Bees and the like. The jimswinger, be it known to the benighted, is what is called . in other sections of the middle West and South a "two-tail" or "frock tail" coat. In the tailors' catalogues it is listed for the city man as a cutaway. The cut of jimswinger favored by the Kentucky elite has a generous length of tails, these flapping almost to the knees. In each tail there is a pocket, capa cious as a saddlebag. In one pock et one usually bestows his handker chief, and his store of eatin . 'tobac co. In the other there is - room enough for a bottle of "licker"large enough to tide a man over a whole camp meeting. Finally the garment drapes itself about the person of the wearer in such fashion as to afford ample concealment for a young cannon in the hip pocket without hindering speedy access to the armament. The whole affair is both tasty and convenient, and it is to be hoped that Oklahoma.even in the forefront of progress, will take a leaf from Gov.. Cruce's fash ion book and adopt it as the cor rect thing for gentlemen's wear, both for daylight and evening oc casion. DEATH RATE GOING UP! Hungarian Nobleman Rushing Home to Slap Faces and Fight Duels. From the New York Tribune. r '.. ; There - is no little excitement In Magyar circles over a trip which Kalraan Gyoergy, a nobleman . of their race, is making to Hungary. If the icy breezes that have been sweeping the Atlantic do not cool his fervor, they say, there will be duel after duel following his ari val. Kalman Gyoergy, or George Kal man, as it is in the English ver sion, came to New York eight months-ago- He is incensed because mal icious tongues and gossipy pens spread tales in his native Hunga ry that he had violated some of the sacred tenets of the nobility. - One of the stories was that he, a blueblooded Magyar of ancient stock, dating as far back as even Arpad's time had forgotten ' his noble caste and not only descended to living in dingy room in a tene ment part of the East Side in this city, but also had associated with menials,., whereas he had lived in a. splendid, apartment near River side drive, where he and his friend Eugene von Deuth, had their own servants and entertained friends in a most liberal manner. The publication of stories in the Hungarian newspapers, was followed by long cable messages of inquiry from friends at home,which were the first intimation that Kal man got that his honor had been assailed. When the papers arrived, with- their two columns of gossip his rage knew no bounds, and h rushed aboard the Lusitania to speed to those in any way connect ed with the circulation of these degrading yarns, to challenge them to combat. Will they fight him? He will make them, he said. The moment Kalman reaches Bud pst he will begin to slap faces right and left, for his anger is di rected not alone against a man whom he consideres his worst ene emy, but also against editors of 30 or more Hungarian newspapers, which printed the objectionable sto ries. Now, this slapping of faces will not be done for punishment, but for humiliation. It will be an in cident merely in the plan to get the only sat icf action proper to sat isfy a nobleman whose honor has been attacked. It will be done in public, and Kalman, it is said,may be trusted to select the most crowd ed public places. Thus the - man whose cheek has come into con tact with Kalman's hand will have to challenge him to a duel or be looked upon as a coward for the rest of his days. Kalman's friends don't doubt that if he does the slapping he will have to do the fighting. They say that he will refuse any other weapon but pistols, and they think that his progress through Hungary will be one grand fusillade. Eugene von Deuth, Kalman's clo sest friend in New York, said yes terday that- he was convinced the young man would carry out his plans in all details. 'George Kalman comes from a fighting stock," he said "and though his father was killed in a duel, this memory will by no means serve as a damper on the young man's spirit, but will add to his desire to show the world that he is as courageous as his father was."

Further exploration of the island of Dutch New Guinea by the party led by Mr. Goodfellow, and includ ing Capt. Rawling and Dr. Eric Marshall, shows the country in a more unfavorable light than ever, it is clearly a place to be avoided. Part of it is "virgin jungle nev er before trodden by the foot of man; to its hidden depths the. na tives are complete strangers; Pigymies from the hills shun it a-nd the natives from the low lands fear it. The outskirts and more often parts bor dering the- river are. frequented by cassowary (a kind of emu,) boar, and wallaby (a smajl variety of kan garoo), and are the haunt of the greatre bird of paradise.whose shrill joyous call enlivnes these dark depths. Less than -a-mile . from the river it is impossible for a man to stand at any spot without be ing touched on every side by tree stems- - . "It is the haunt cf all creeping things from the deadly puff adder to the greater, yet comparative ly harmless, python; Noxious -insects abound, and leeches swarm on the saturated moist-ridden trees and undergrowth. Everything de caying; no air seems to circulate there, and what little there is is fetid and stifling. JDismal dark, drip ping! Four weeks arduous work lias resulted in the cutting of 5, 900 yards (3 1-2 miles) of road." The inhabitants of Dutch New Guinea are not an attractive race. "The native woman," says Dr. Mar shall, "drags up" the children.cuts the firewood, brings in the sago, ing her skill as a warrior in the works the cacioes, occasionally prov family and village .quarrels, and al ways coming off best with her ton gue. She is usually content with a strip of bark cloth. When in mourn ing she dispenses even with this. The male sex predominates, and most of the men have to be con tent with one wife. "On the death of a man, the wid ow, clad like Eve, but as ugly as Satan, crawls around the grave wail ing and chanting, performing weird movements with arms - and body which may or may not be meant for dancing-" The explorer also adds some fresh particulars of the mountain pygmies. "Farther inland," he says, "in the foothills of the mountains we have discovered a still more primitive race. Pygmies, or little men averaging 4 feet 6 inches to 4 feet S inches in height, wild, shy, and treacherous little devils; these little men wander over the .heavy jungle-clad hills and moun tains, subsisting on roots and jun gle produce, hunting the wallaby, pig, and cassowary, and fishing in the mountain torrents.".

A curious . incident which is re ported from the provinces . illustra tes how deep is the ignorance of Russian officials on some matters and how bitter is their hatred of even' the mere mention of the name of the late Count Tolstoi.says a message from St. Petersburg. The arrival of a couple of musi cians, in a town , was seized upon by the local aristocracy as the ba sis for the organization of a con cert at their club. In accordance with the law, the director notified the police that a concert was to be held, and forwarded a copy of the program therein appeared the item "Kreutzer Sonata-" Across this the chief of police wrote "Tolstoi prohibited." Wonder ing what connection the remark., had with their program the promoters ol the concert proceeded with their plans, and police officers . who were present at the performance found The next day the local newspaper duly recorded the fact that the "Kreutzer Sonata" had figured in the club program. ' Seeing this, an infuriated chief of police summoned the. directors of the club beforeth egovenor. "How dare you disobey orders? they were asked. -."You were told Tolstoi was prohibited." Light dawned upon the concert promoters and they quickly explain ed that the "Kreutzer Sonata" which appeared in the. program had no reference to Tolstoi's book of that title, but to a musical work composed by Beethoven. "Everybody knows Tolstoi", snapped the goven or, "but who knows-your Beetho ven?" It was only by a telegraphic ap peal to M- Stoljfpin, who assured the govenor that there . was such a person as Beethoven, and that he had. written a "Kreutzer Sonata", that the club" officials were able to convince the governor that in his iorp.orflnce he had jumped to a Ifl4 I' I 1 II tV m II i llVJ M.M. Southern Farmers Have Not Yet Leariied the Secret of Properly Attending to Their Lands. By C. R. Hudson, State Department o Agriculture. The farmer wLj expects tobuild up his soil so that he can grow large crops, and grow them profitably should give special attention to the very important part of getting deep soil on which to grow such-ciops- This is especially true in re gar.l to corn growing and is valuabi; for all crops. Southern farmers taken as a whole have never really succeeded in corn growing. This is most largely due to ti e fact that they have nearer prop erly deepened their soil by plowing !1 big yields of corn which have been reported have been grown on deeply plowed lands. The time of doing the deep break ing, the manner of breaking and u-e condition of the soil and sub soil should all be considered in do ing such work. Other things being e-iUal during fall and early plowing. This is true because we' get the beneficial effects of the atmosphere ard of the freezes for several weeks before spring planting comes on.This veathering" of the soil is very valuable. In some sections of North" Carolina there has not yet been sufficient rainfall to prevent deep plowing now. Of course care and judgment should be -used to ascer tain that neither the top soil nor the subsoil are too wet. The land should be thrown up in ridges, or "edged up" rather than left flat The subsoil should not be put on top until it has been weathered by cieep breaking for two or three years. The farmer who waits till spring to dohis deep breaking often fails in one or more respects- When the top soil has dried out sufficient ly to be in. the best condition for plowing the subsoil is still too wet, to be plowed without considerable injury. By the time the subsoil is dry enough to be plowed, the top soil is usually dry enough to break in clods. - It is almost impossible to make good seed bed on cloddy lands without, much rolling and pulverizing. Often the clods remain in the field till the crops are laid by. With' spring breaking, too.very little . weathering can take place before planting. Without a deep soil the farmer cannot obviate the detrimental ef fects of the two extremes, wet wcatl er and dry weather. In wet weath er . his crops are drowned- In dry weather they fail for lack of mois ture. The thoughtful, successful fan er, therefore, is watching conditions and is deepening his soil as fast as they will permit. Twp exceptions to deep plowing should be noted. A" deep, porous sandy soil, without a clay subsoil, 13 net benefited by deep breaking unless the water is gotten out. But with humrs and with proper drainage, deep break-? ing is good for both. i
