TREE MEMORIES.

l S ——— The woodland stretched its arms to me, And into its heart I went, ; ‘While by my side invisibly Walked musing-eyed content.

The woodland spake no word to me, qu, oh! its thoughts were sweet; Against my spirit like asea Ifelt the thought-waves beat.

Before my viston starved and dull The wood-shapes dropped their gold; The young child trees were beautiful— More beautiful the old. .

Within their hells of memory : What heavenly scenes are drawji— The stream, the wild birds’ company; The sky's cool face at dawn;

The golden lances of the sun; Therain that feel s its way; The twilight steps that one by one Lead to the.moon's white ray;

The multitude of bright leaf forms Engraved on earth and air; - The black and gold of midnight storms; The blue that violets wear.

These throng the greenwood memories; Upon this perfumed track, ! Thd¢/ thoughts of all the silent trees Go wandering back and back:

This is the charm that cometh last, Of all their sweets the sum— - . ' The feeling of green summers past, And fair green springs to come. - -—Ethelwyn Wetherald. in Harper's Weekly.

He is of modest» demeanor and no boaster, and vet he has killed, in his solitary wanderings, more cougars, California lions, wolves and grizzly bears than would suffice to stock all the menageries in the Unitéd States. Unlike his fellows, he is a college-bred man, is a versatile talker and tells a good story. During the past five years Solberg’s range has been through northern California, eastern Oregon, Washington and Idaho. llis present hunting grounds comprise a wide expanse of rough country on the western siope of the Rockies; near the headwaters of Salmon river.

- Wonderful and thrilling as have been his past exploits, his last ‘‘big find,” as he calls it, beats them all. To a correspondent who recently met Solberg in Spokane Falls the hunter told the following gmueer story: It was early in September last that I started out to fill a Chicago order for a lot of cougar, black lynx and cinnamon bear skins. Having heard from remote settlers that game of all kinds had been driven down from the mountains by the severity of the past winter and sweeping forest fires; I directed my course toward the upper Salmon river, my objective point being two hundred miles southeast of Pierce City.

Besides Ben, a stout Lapwai halfbreed, my faithful hired man of all work, caterer, tent-keeper, etc., my outfit consisted of two Indian ponies for packing service; three old hounds, camp fixtures, two Winchester rifles, a shotgun, revolvers, and plenty of canned provisions and ammunition. Ben carried his own shotgun and belt knives. :

. Ben sometimes accompanied me on short exé¢ursions, but on such occasions we left a couple of dogsat camp to give the alarm in case of mischief, and we mnever went beyond hearing distance of their baying, if they should be disturbed. ‘

Monday, September 24, will always be a memorable day in my experience. Leaving Ben and one dog in camp, I started early in the morning for an allday trip, directing my steps toward the headwaters of a little stream near which we were camped. We had gone abouat two miles from camp when Tige and Fan struck a scent and bounded off through the dense thicket. I quickened my pace in the direction the dogs had taken and soon came upon the tracks of what I knew must be those of a large grizzly bear. Presently, as I anticiPated, the- hounds brought the bear to bay a few hundred yards ahead. “This was clearly evident from the altered tome of their cries. When I came up with the dogs, there, sure enough, was a big grizzly, sitting on his haunches and complacently taking in the situation. |

I poised my rifle and was about to fire, when, to my utter surprise, I saw a stout leath%r strap about the bear’s chubby neck, while from the brassring under his throat dangled a rosette and tassel made of red, white and blue ribbons. Besides, the animal’s coat was as sleek and clean as if he had just come from:a tub of soap and water. So long as I allowed the dogs to bark at a safe distance he 'sat bolt upright, perfectly still, neither sniffing nor growling, and with an air of stolid indifference. :

Was the brute an éscape from some menagerie? Was he a household pet, or 'was I dreaming? None of these, surely. We. were in the heart *» of a mountain wilderness, more than thirty miles from the nearest; border settlement, and ' two hundred miles from the nearest town ever visited by circus or menagerie. Besides, family pets are not made of grizzly bears weighing half a ton. Moreover, I was wide awake, and I had not tasted my brandy since leaving camp. e o I called off the dogs and put them in leashes. Strangely enough, the huge "beast plunged instanter into the thicket, and shambled off up the creek, while I followed as fast as I could lead the hounds.’” At a point 'about half a mile further up, the bear forded the stream, scaled the opposite bank and was soon lost in the brush. I followed, still leading the dogs, now furiously barking and madly trying to get loose. I could hear the crackling of dry twigs under the bear’s feet, and, quieting the dogs in order to catch his course, I heard a human voice, the shrill, treble voice of a woman, ; . **Ho, Dio! Dio! Dio-o!” it came. - Once more I wasdazed. All the fairy stories of bears and wolves I had ever - heard or read came back to me, and I was beginning to distrust the reliability of my semses, when o ery came

Chaining the hounds to a sapling, I plunged forward. I soon overtook the bear, which paid no attention to me whatever, but lazily walked along, as if his business was his own, and nobody’s else; halting, now and then, to munch a few berries from the bushes. As brein and I emerged from the thicket into a partially open space, what was my amazement to suddenly meet face to face a woman—a real, live woman! The apparition was clad in buckskin frock and leggings, with high ‘brogans buckled over her feet, and her head covered with a brown slouch hat, from beneath which streamed her long hair. ‘She was a blonde of the most perfect type. . " She snapped her thumb and finger and the bear walked to her side, reared up on his hind feet and licked her cheek, while she stroked his shaggy coat. : 5 i

_“Now, sir,” said, the woman, “‘will you walk home with me and see where I live with Dio and his family?” A twenty minutes’ walk on a wellbeaten trail brought us to a limestone cliff a few rods from the stream. This cliff was nearly perpendicular, forty or fifty feet high and in its face, onalevel with the bank of the creek, there was a broad opening or cave perhaps ten feet high and thirty or forty feet deep. Just within was a snugly-built log cabin, its front gablie end extending outside far enough to catch the sunlight and permit the escape of the smoke from a stick-and-clay chimney. This retreat was the home of the woman, while a family of bears occupied their own quarters in the further end of the cave. 3 i

Upon our arrival Mrs. Grizzly Bruin and two half-grown cubs made theirappearance, all exhibiting the same docile characteristics which so distinguished the great Dio. A big Newfoundland dog also bounded forth to greet us. The cabin contained three airy and welllighted robms, a studio or parlor, bedroom and kitchen. : :

Retiring to her bedroom a few minutes the lady reappeared attired in her “receptioﬁ‘ “suit,” as she laughingly called it. ~While we sat at luncheon she told me her history, and 1 assure you it was only the old story, with romantic variatins and’ practical illustrations. The gist of the whole matter was a love sorrow caused by the interference of unwise parents and resulting in the abandonment/of a comfortable home for the precarious life of a recluse. Orly two or three trusted friends know the secret of ‘her whereabouts and mode of living. :

Backwoodsmen built her the cabin five years ago, and about that time she bought a pair of grizzly cubs from the Indians and reared them on condensed milk. To this simple diet and the kindest treatment the philosophical lady = s "%{mw %‘ (I b ¢ @' \’\-h{ﬁ,‘ﬁ’ “I N g Jl/ ,N!“f' ’ RSN\ @ [ Wﬁm : 7 N\ ¥ L=l ’ ” r{// 4 é ol :/’/ : e YT g\ 1k »/ / 27 ‘ /) i PAN rt//ﬂ \ ////‘{ //\\\\*\ ‘ )/ W 7 / \)&\\\\ ; | A b/ 7 MY ' s.» i ' A\ g \ SHE SNAPPED HER FINGER AND THE BEAR !

The hermitess maintains that mercy between man and man and kindness to the lower animals must constitute the great panacea which, is to redeem animated nature, bring back the golden age and hasten the millenium. Growinng enthusiastic she cited many interesting facts in her own experience. It was a common thing every summer for humming birds to come through the open. windows, build their nests and rear their young in the evergreen foliage that decorated herlittle parlor. The parent birds would come at her call and eat honey from the palm of her hand. Large birds built their nests under the eaves of her humble cabin, while grouse nested in the neighboring trees and brought their chicks to pick up the crumbs that she threw to them from her kitchen window. A couple of well-bred tabby cats share the house with their mistress and keep the storeroom free from mice. Volumes might be written upon what she has already done with the larger animals. While she does not believe in a charmed life, she declares that there is mot a creature in the mountain forests round about that would harm her, — San Francisco Chronicle. .

HE CRUSHED HiM.

A Reproof That Wsds Delivered in a Round= _ about Way,

- Dr. Rosenvelt, describing in Scribner’s Magazine his life as physician in a New York hospital, narrates the story of a reproof that would have been more useful to him, had he been a Jess modest man. -

One morning the night nurses came, as usual, to report to me. John finished the general account of thé night’s events, and then began to stutter frightfully.. At first he was unintelligible, but at last I discovered that he was talking about Flannigan—the whining patient. I finally made out the following sentence: S “I was ob-b-bliged to c-c-crugh Flannigan last night.” .

“To erush him, Johr; what do you mean?” e

“l m-m-mane t-to cier-crush himl! Didn’t I s-s-say s-s 0?” -

. “What did you do?” I' asked, with visions of a mangled patient flouting in my mmd. . }

_ “Well, he began t-t-talking about D-d-oct-tor R-roo-sevelt in a way I c-couldn’t p-p-permit. It was wakid’ the others, and d-d-isg-gustin’. the w-warrd.” s

‘““What did he say, John?” “Oh, he kep’ remarrkin’ an’ r-ree patin’ w-hat a foine m-m-man you are. An’ thin he be-g-g-gun s-ssayin’ over an’ over: ‘lf anything should h-h-hhap-pen t-to D-doctor Rrroo-sevelt-’until I went and cr-crushed him. I s-said, says I, ‘F-f-flannigan, sh-shut up! 1f you an’ D-doctor Roosevelt should fly out troo the r+-roof to-night, we'd ail llive here’” '

FARM AND GARDEN. MEADOWS AND LAWNS. Apply Ssalt Very Freely and Thoroughly ‘ . Break the Soil. : I am surprised that so few persons treat their lawns to a good annual dragging. Even if no manure is applied the best possible treatment in spring is to run.a harrow back and forth till the sod is thoroughly cut into and aerated. The advantage is in breaking hidebound spots, tearing out moss and weeds, and letting the air feed the roots.,

I like best to sow my lawns u;i?h‘ salt and ashes, and all the coal ash/ I can get from anthracite coal—not from bituminous. Then, if to be obtained, I use slaked lime or old plaster. Then the harrow is put on, and put on thoroughly. In this way a lawn that cannot be plowed can be kept in good condition for twenty years. When leaves blow over such lawns in the tall I let them alone to cover and protect the grass during the winter, and after the dragging in the spring the one cleaning takes away any leaves that are superflous. But most of such material is worked down about the grass roots and serves an admirable purpose as a summer mulch, and adds finally to the humus. : Salt serves a double purpose, and ought to be applied very freely. It kills some weeds entirely, such as moneywor t, and it fertilizes the grass. It takes a very heavy application to damage any of our lawn grasses. Last year while digging a large cellar I used the whole of the dirt as a lawn dressing, scattering even the tougher clay freely about. This, as it becomes thoroughly aerated, blends with the soil to decided advantage. By all means use the drag on meadows.—E. P. Powell, in Prairie Farmer. = ~ CORN EXPERIMENTS. Some Valuable Comparisons in Early and i Jate Sowing. : The results of a series of experiments in corn culture are given by Prof. W. C. Latta, Purdue university, Lafayette, Ind. In comparing late and early sowing for a period of five years, the range of dates of planting was from May 1 to 29. The average yield of the earliest planting was for-ty-seven bushels; that of the latest, thirty-six bushels. These averages are considerably reduced by the poor crop of 1893, which was less than half a crop. Experiments with deep and shallow plowing were continued for three. weeks. The corn ground was plowed four, six, eight, ten and twelve inches. The highest average crops were obtained from plowing eight inches, and the lowest averages from four inches. Experiments in deep and shallow cultivation. were continued for five years, the cultivation being one, two and three inchesdeep. The average yields from cultivation one inch deep, fifty-one bushels; from cultivation two inches deep, fifty bushels; from cultivation three inches deep; forty-nine bushels: — Farmer’s Magazine. L ;

GAUGE RUNNER PLOW. A Device That May Be Used ‘Without Stepping from the Kurrow. : The value of a gauge on a plow to regulate the depth at which the plow shall run is so obwious that nothing need be said in its favor. The cut shows an attachment for that purpose. A flat wheel out on the beam is so arranged that it can be raised or lowered by operating a lever on one of the handles, and, when set for any depth, “staying put.” This device may be used without stopping the plow or stepping from the furrow. The plowman . | PLOWING AT ANY DESIRED DEPTH. has complete and instant control. The wheel is made to fit either a wooden or an iron beam, and is held perfectly rigid. The inventor, has’tried it on a variety of plows and always with good results. Among its advantages are: When one part of a field is sandy, and another is comiposed of hard clay or is stony, the plow can be run at the same depth, and in a fruit orchard the plow can be instantly raised or lowered when passing near a tree, so as not to injure theroots.—D. G. Hobby, in Farm and Home. b AGRICULTURAL HINTS. Wuex land is in danger of washing try to get a good sod on it. It will save it greatly. : : : Ix fertilizing pastures never use barnyard manure, which disgusts the cows. Use prepared fertilizers. VenEN fertilizers are necessary, the wastefulness of letting the home-made manure;go to waste and buying artificial fertilizers should not be practiced. | : .

A WORNOUT pasture may be improved by going over it in the spring With a slanting tooth harrow, and sowing blue grass and clover. Then you may top dress with some prepared fertilizer.

GooD pastures are valuable in one direction that is not always thought of, the cow does not need to wear herself out in getting what she wants to eat. She will pretty nearly do this on a thin pasture.—Farmers’ Voice. 2

FEEDING early in the spring is often advisable to stimulate breeding and to keep the colony strong, so that when the eaily bloom comes, it may be suificiently strong to gather the honey. Coffee and A sugar reduced to the consistency of honey is the best for feeding in place of sealed honey. -

Why Eggs Fail to Hatch.

In her natural or wild state, the hen lays in the spring and summer, when the conditions for success are favorable. She is the companion of a vigorous male who may have battled with some competitor for her favors. The eggs from such a hen always hatch and produce strong and hardy chicks. When the; domestic hen lays in the spring, the eggs usuvally hatch well. In the fall and winter, when the hen is stimulated to egg production, has just passed through the molting period, is overfed and confined, and is mated with some worthless male, the conditions are not so favorable, and to secure good hatches from her eggs is:a matter of chance to a certain extent. The season affects both laying and hatching.—Prairie Farmer. -~ Ir manures are permitted to remain outdoors in the storm, it is estimated that sixty per cemt. of their value is leached out. Bt

MICHIGAN’S BENEFACTOR

An Oft Repeated Story of True Philanthropy.

What Chas. H. Hackley Has Done for ¥Western Michigan. °

(From Grand Rapids, Mich., Evening Press.) ! The most beautiful spot in all this city is inseparably associated with the name of | Hackley. Chas. H. Hackley has been in the lumber business here continuously since 1856 and in that time has amassed a fortune which gives him a rating among the wealthy men of the nation. But with wealth there did not come that tightening of the purse strings’which is generally a marked characteristic of wealthy men. : It is not a wonder then that the name of Charles H. Hackley is known- at home and abroad. His munificence-to Muskegon alone represents an outlay of nearly half a million. For the past twenty years he has been a constant sufferer from neuralgia and rheumatism, also numbness of the lower limbs, 80 much so that it has seriously interfered with his pleasure in life. For some time past his friends have noticed that he has secmed to grow young again and to hayve recovered the health which he had in youth. To a reporter for the Press Mr. Hackley ‘explained the secret of this transformation. “Ihave suffered for ower 2) years,” he said, ‘with pains in my lower limbs so severely, that the only relief I could get at night was by putting cold water compresses on my limbs. Iwas bothered more at night than in the day time. The neuralgic and rheumatic pains in my limbs, which had been growing in intensity for years, finally became chronic. I made three trips to the Hot Springs with only partial relief and then fell back to my original state. I couldn’t sit still and my sufferings began to make life look very blue. Two years ago last September I noticed an account of Br Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People and what they had done for others,,anrf some .cases so nearly resembled mine that I was interested, so I wroteto one who had given a testimonial, an eminent professor of music in Canada. The reply I received was even stronger than the printed testimonial and-it gave me faith in the medicine. “I began taking the pills and found them to be all that the professor had told me they would be. It was two or three months before I experienced any perceptible betterment of my condition: R/lIY dr%sease was of such long standing that I did not expect speedy recovery and was thankful even to be relieved. I progressed rapidly, however, towards recovery and for the last six months have felt myself a perfectly well man. I have recommended the pills to many people and am only too glad to assist others to health through the medium of this wonderful medicine. I cannot say too much for what it has done for me.” =’ - Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are for sale by all dru§gists, or may be had by mail from Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y., for boc. per box, or six boxes for $250. -

HOW BAD HABITS ARE FORMED.

The New York Tridune says: ‘‘‘The habit of taking ‘headache powders’ is increasing to an alarming e)%teut amoug a great number of wo-. men throughout the country. These powders as their name indicates, are claimed by the manufacturers to be a positive and speedy cure for any form of headache. In many cases their chief ingredieut s morphine, opium, cocaiune or some other equally injurious drug. having a tendency to deaden pain. - The habit of taking them is easily formed, but' almost impossible to shake off. 'Women usually. begin taking them'to relieve a raging headache and soon resort to the powder to alleviate any little ?aiu or ache they may be subjected to, and finally like the morphine or opium fiend, get into the habit of taking them regularly, imagining that they are in pain if they happen to miss their regular dose.””- = In nine cases out of ten, the trouble is in the stomach and liver.- Take a simple laxative and liver tonic and rémovg the offending matter whiclr deranges the stomach and causes the headache.[ Dr, Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets are composed entirely of the purest, concentfated, vegetable extracts.
