SENT UP WRONG SIGNALS.

Confederate Trick on the Yankees 'l‘hwt.})idn‘t Turn OQut as Well as Expected.

A group of confederate officers were seen together the other night in the Fifth Avenue hotel, New York, and they were talking away as lively as o party of schoolboys about the days when they wore the gray. One of them, who had won his title of colonei, saj‘s the Detroit Free Press, related several interesting stories which the newspaper man lurking gear failed to catch, but one of the party remarked: - : : “The colonel knows all about the jokes on the other fellows, but is a few chips shy as to how iie gave the wrong signal at Fort Hudson, and I shall give you the story.” ..The colonel looked nervous, but the speaker went on: “The colonel was a lieutenant then, and an officer in a light battery stationed at an advance post at the confederate right, and dangerously close to the union line. “The union troops had been directed at night by signals sent up from various points around Fort Hudson, and always some hard serap followed these skyrocket affairs, until Gen. Beale, second in command to Gen. Frank Gardner, commander of the confederate position, decided to counteract these signals. : *“Creeping out thrcugh the advance post spoken of, through the ditch dug for -the purpose, Gen. Beale said to the colonel here, then lieutenant: ¢ fThis is the very spot to send up signals to-night, as most of the union signaling is done from close tosyour post here. “The lieutenant agreed at once with the general. : “‘Now, we can utterly confuse their signals at all other points around the line,” said the general, ‘if you will get some rockets ready, and if they send up two I:eds, you follow with two blues, quickly, or vice versa—see?’ ~ “The lieutenant saw, and entered into the spirit of the plan with pleasure. “Two nights ﬂer, when the taps had been sound&® around the union lines—there were no taps, by the way, within the confederate lines, as the

Beale was not long in putting in an appearance, and the lieutenant asked: “‘How did the signals work, general?’ : e “‘See here, don’t fool with those signals any more, lieutenant, for, though I cannot blame you, fhe ones You sent were wrong, for it had been evidently decided to make a night attack, and they had changed their mind, 80 sent up the two blues, while your two reds, sent as all believed, from the same place, was the signal to attack.

“ “That is what I think, at least, and I don’t want any more fool signals sent up.’”? *“Yes, and I have been shy on signals ever since,” remarked the colonel, very seriously, in spite of the laughter of the others. And he added: *“lttaught me never to monkey with what was another man’s business.”

UNCLE SAM’S WAR TALES.

“I tell you, boys, we had lots of fun in the army, after all!” said Uncle Sam, according to the Western Chris= tian Advocate. ‘“We never lost a good time if we could help it, and we were willing to work pretty hard to get it, too.

“I'll never forget a sleigh ride we had down in Georgia.” . “A sleigh ride in Georgia? That’s something unusual, isn't it?” :

“Yes, I guess it is. We fellows woke one night and felt something cold pressing -against our heads; and it didn’t-take us long to discover that it was snow. No more sleep for us that night! We lashed logs together and made some fine bobs; and I tell you, I never enjoyed a sleigh ride so much in all my life! We flew around the camp, at a great rate; and how those bobs ever held together I don’t know, for durability wasn’t their strong point. We lost a log and a comrade or two once in awhile, but that only made more fun..

Did I ever tell you how we got our sugar for our blackberries?” 5 . “No; do let us hear about it!” “Well, we were camping down at Edwards Ferty, in Maryland, near the Baltimore and Ohio canal. Our provisions came by way of the canal, and we were sent to guard it from the enemy. There were storehouses along the bank, and one day when we were swimming we discovered that the deor to one of these storehouses was unlocked. “We got inside in a hurry, and when we found that th_ere*was sugar stored there we ‘were a happy set of fellows, T tell you! We could gather the finest kind of blackberries on the hills, but they were as sour as vinegar, and we had been keeping our eyes open for sugar to sweeten them. But how to get that sugar back to camp was a question. Finally, one of the boys hit upen’ a plan, and a fine one it was. We washed out our stockings (clean, too). and laid them on the grass todry a little. Then we swam back to the storehouse and filled our stockings with sugar from top to toe!l

“I tell you, it was no easy task to swim backito camp with those stockings lin our mouths, trying to keep them out of the water. 1t wasthe funniegt sight I ever saw. Each fellow had his head thrown back .as far as possible, and looked for all the world like a‘ Newfoundland deog carrying a bone to dry quarters! - : ; “The berries tasted fine, and we never ate sour ones after that, you may be sure—not while we had stockinos to carry the sugar in.” :

“You didn't always have stockings, did vou, Uncle Sam?” asked Jean.

**No, not always.. I had a little wife at home who used to knit them for me; but sometimes I didn’t get what she sent me. There were dark daysas well as bright ones, children; but I'd go again to-morrow, if the call came.”,

“Pedtime!” called the ,children’s mother. “Come!” - And soon Uncle Sam was left alone; but in memory he was surrounded by hiz old comrades of t& war; and he laughed again to himfelf as he pictured the boys swimming down the canal. . &

JOHN BURNS, OF GETTYSBURG,

A Citizen Who Went Into the Field .and Asked Permission to Fight for the Union. :

As Col. Huidekoper and Xaj. Chamberlain were chatting, while awaiting the attack, a unique, antique and most picturesque figure approached, writes Gen. Mulholland, in Philadelphia Ledger. It was Citizen John Burns, of Gettysburg. Tall and bony of frame, with deliberate step, he came to the front, carrying in his right hand a riffe at a *“trail” He wore a blue swallow-tail enat, with brass buttons, dark trouserz and a high hat, from which the nap had long since disappeared. Although three score years and ten, and bent witil age, he said: “Can 1 fight with your regiment?” Just then Col. Wister came up, and in his bluff manner asked: “Well, old man, what do you want?” “I wanta chance to fight with your regiment.” “You do? Well, where is your ammunition?” “Right here,” said the oid hero, slapping his frousers’ pocket, which was bulging out with cartridges. “Good,” replied Wister, *‘l wish there were more like you,” advising the old man to go into the woods and fight where he would be more sheltered. But John Burns was not the kind that looked for shelter, and he fought during the day, not only in the open, but in the very front. When evening fell he was|still there, but badly wounded. No Danger. ‘ “Here, my little fellow, is a penny for you; I was poor once myself.” “T’anks, sir; I s’pose dey ain’t any danger of yer ever gittin’ dat way again.”—Chicago American,

Oregon Experiment Station Tests Favor the Steaming of Ensilage, in Certain Conditions. : Nearly.2o years ago, when silage was an uncertain quantity, a student at an agricultural college suggested running a jet of live steam in at the bottom of a cement gilo. The argument was that this would cook the silage, and, if the silo were then tightly closed, give it just about the conditions under which fruit or vegetables are canned. Thkis suggestion was laughed at as absurd. From time to time we have seen reports of the use of steam for preserving stock food. In one casean English farmer had a"quanﬁty of musty or damaged hay. It was packed into a small barn—all the cracks and holes being closed. A pipe was run inside at the bottom of the hay, and steam forced in under powerful pressure. This was kept up until the steam escaped at the top. The result was that oL O > | i - ! I 1 l’ i : : & | g . 1v ] ?i r f‘ | l i : | E i 1 i s : L e i _ I ' i} . : ’ f@’_‘_l i L'"__:Ll. e (=== DEVICE FOR STEAMING SILAGE. decay of the hay wasprevented so that it made fair fodder. g Now we find in Bulletin No. 72 of the Oregon experiment station (Corvallis) an interesting account of steaming silage. The silos, made purposely for the experiment, were ‘constructed of well seasoned yellow fir =dressed tongue and groove lumber 185; inch thick, 31, inches wide and 12 feet lcng. When completed the silos measured approximataly five feet in diameter and 12 feet deep. They were constructed plain, having no doors, so that the only way of filling and emptying them was by way of the top of the silo. Five such silos were constructed; two of them, Nos. 1 and 5, were fitted with 11 -inch piping so that they could be steamed after being filled. The picture’ clearly shows how the ‘steam pipes were connected. In one case the steam was delivered near the bottom only. The/other was fitted “so that steam could be liberated in the silo within two inches of the bottom at G, and also midway between the bottom and top at F. The upright pipe EF in the silo was covered with a cap at F so as to prevent fodder from falling into the pipe. Ten to 15 holes three-eighths-inch in diameter were drilled in the pipe near the cap at F as outlets for the steam. The elbcw at G turng directly down and comes to within about two inches of the bottom of the silo. This elbow G prevents material from getting into the pipe GH. and serves as an easy outlet for the steam when forcing it into the silo near ihe bottom.”

The corn cut into these silos was quite green. It was cut into' three-fourths-inch lengths and packed down so that. each silo contained a little over three tons. Steam was introduced under pressure of first 20 and.,again later at 40 pounds. This was kept up until the steam escaped at the top and the temperature rose to 212 degrees. Then the steam was shut off and the pipe stuffed with sterilized cotton, while the top of the stlage was covered with the same material. As a result of the steaming the silage shrunk about 25 per cent. When opened there was some loss at the top, as the cotton did not prove a good protector. Below the moldy part the silage was bright and sweet—‘‘with the odor of cooked sweet corn—not at all like ordinary silage!” Analysis of this silage showed that it did mnot undergo nearly as great a chemical change as the silage put up in the ordinary way. Of course such a small silo does not give a fair chance for practical investigation, and this year the experiments have been repeated on a larger scale—in silos nine and ten feet in diameter. These have been filled with corn and green clover, and thoroughly steamed. While no actual feeding results can be given until this silage is taken out and fed we feel very confident that steaming. in tight silos, will be found very useful in some sections of the country.—Rural New Yorker. i

The Heifer’s First Calf.

There should be no such thing as “pbreaking in a heifer” when she has her first calf. She should be so carefully handled that there will be no necessity for doing the thing after that; it should be done beforewcalving. If this has not been done before, begin some weeks before calving to familiarize the heifer with the milker. Stroke her, caress her, handle the udder, doing everything so carefully that any advance in the process will be unnoticed by the animal. Within a few days the udder can be handled at will, and the heifer will soon come to enjoy and even expect such caresses. If this work is carefully and kindly done there will be no trouble when milking time comes.—Cincinnati Commercial, ;

Very Hard to Undersiand.

Official records show that a new kind of American invasion is occurring on this continent, as 50,000 citizens of the United States have settled in the rich wheat lands of the Canadian provinces. Why anybody should wantto emigrate to Manitoba,wwere a sub-arctic climate provides "almost perpetual winter, while rich farming lands are to be had in Missouriand adjoining states, where an almost perpetual summer provides the most equable climate in the world, is beyond the comprehension of a citizen of a republican form of government—Rural World, ;

RURAL FREE DELIVERY.

Maintenance of a National Service Would Cost Not Less Than §24,000,000 Per Year.

The officials of the post office de-‘ partment look forward now to the extension of rural - free delivery throughout the entire United States. They have made their estimates as to what it will cost to deliver letters on every American farm or plantation in the sparsely settled and thickly settled parts of the country. The cost will net be trifling. To deliver every rural American his mail will take about $24,000,000 a year. Should the present service be extended at the rate of 12,000 routes a year until the 700,000 square miles of territory yet to be covered have been taken care of, there will be for several years an annual deficit in postal revenues of from $8,000,000 to $lO,000,000. This deficit will, it is asserted, disappear gradually as the revenues increase by reason of the improved postal facilities. . Not many years ago rural free delivery was a questionable sort of experiment. The farmers, for whose benefit it was intended, did not in, all quarters take kindly to it. They are not eager seekers after novelties, and the idea of abandoning the customary trip to the village post .office for mail, a trip which gave them a welcome opportunity to gossip with neighbors and discuss crops and elections, was mnot altogether attractive to them. But they appreciate fully now the advantages of the new departure. There is an increasing pressure for the establishment of rural routes, and the representative of a country district who cannot secure something .in this line for his' constituents runs the risk of losing his popularity. ; So strong is the pressure for rural free delivery. that the post office department officials are not dealing with .a remote question when they prepare estimates of the gross cost of a complete rural service. But while the cost will be large .it will ‘not frighten nmericans. Indeed, they are in the habit/ of looking unmoved ‘on' much larger appropriations for far less useful purposes. :

It may well be that when the letter carrier makes his trips to every farmer’s gate the farmers will. make a more extensive use of the mails than they do now, and that the revenues of the department will expand as they have in the past whenever better facilities have been provided. Even if this were not to be the case, the “general welfare” will be promoted by an expenditure which brings the farmers of the United States into closer touch with the busy world from which most of them are so far removed.—Chicago Tribune. .

THE VALUE OF WHEY.

For Feeding Pigs, the Wisconsin Sta‘tion Reports, It Is Worth Seven Centis Per Hundredweight.

At many cheese factories the whey is an incumbrance rather than a source of profit. It is usually disposed of at almost any price, yet it is of considerable value for pig feeding. The Wisconsin station has determined that whey for pig feeding is worth seven cents per 100 pounds, and if properly combined with other feeds is worth ten cents per 100 pounds. The greatest trouble with whey is that it rather demoralizes the handling of the milk supply. As soon as a patron empties his cans he wantsto fill them up with milk, and this prevents his cans being washed and steamed at the factory. There are various ways of getting rid of, this necessity. One method thatis practiced at some cheese factories is worthy of consideration. Pig pens are built far enough away from the factory to prevent the odor from reaching ‘that institution, but near enough so that the whey can be easily run to them on tram tracks. All the whey is fed at the factory in this way, and the profits from the operation go into the general fund. In this way the profits get back to the patrons. There are several advantages about this plan of feeding whey. One of them is that the whey can be fed in better condition than it usually is when it has to be hauled back to the farm. Spoiled whey at the factory is put into cans and is certainly not improved when it arrives at the farm. The cansthatcon~ vey it are never or seldom properly cleaned and the milk brought to the factory in those cansisinjured in quality —Farmers’ Review.

If you have a tenant you want to hold, it will certainly mot drive him away to give him an opportunity to repair his house and fix up such conveniences as he needs badly. 4

DR. PARKER DEAD.

Great London Preacher and Pnstqr of the City Temple Passes . : Away.

London, Nov. 29.—Dr.'Joseph Parker, minister of the City Temple, who had been seriously ill for some time past, died at five o’clock Friday afternoon.

_ Dr. Parker'’s end came peacefully. He had been in extremis for several days past and had taken no nourishment since Wednesday. He rallied on Thurscay night, giving the doctor’s hope that he might live a few days longer. He retained consciousness to the last. A simple white card, without a black border, hangs on the door of his residence ‘at Hampstead, inseribed: *At five o’clock p. m. Dr. Parker ascended.” Dr. Parker suffered from a complication of ailments, the most serious of which affected his heart and was the immediate cause of death. He had been afflicted - with insomnia, not having enjoyed a natural sleep for six weeks. His amazing vitality and strength of constitution led his friends to hope for his recovery, and he himself only abandoned hope a few days ago. He took no farewells, as he was

During his last hours he took evident pleasure in the singing of hymns by those around his bedside. . Dr. Parker was born in 1830 at Banbury, a quaint old town. As a‘boy he showed a predilection for the pu!pit, and when he was 15 yéars old he preached his first sermon among the miners of Northumberland. He was ordained in 1852, and when only 23 was made pastor of a Congregational chapel at Banbury.

Dr. Parker commenced his Londou ministry in 1869. He occupied the pulpit of the Poultry chapel in Cheapside. The church of which Dr. Parker of late years was the head is the oldest Congregational church in London. It was formed in 1640 by Dr. Thomas Goodwin, who was at one time chaplain to Oliyer Cromwell, president ot Magdalen college, and member of the Westminster Assembly of Divines. This church is the City temple, and r. Parker’s sermons made it even more celebrated than it ever was. Among the more prominent of the ‘books published by Dr. Parker are the following: ‘The People’s Bible,” “Ecce Deus,” “The Paraclete,” “The Pulpit Bible,” *“Springdale Abbey,” “Well Begun,” “Might Have Been,” “Tyne Folks,” “None Like It,” “Today’s .

DMy abdomen is swollen, and I have had flowing spells for three years. -My appetite isnot good. - I cannot walk cr be on my feet for any length of time. “The symptoms of Fibroid Tumor given in your little book accurately describe my case, so I write to you for advice.” — (Signed) Mrs. E. F. Haves, 252 Dudley St., (Roxbury) Boston, Mass. ; Note the result of Mrs. Pinkham'’s advice—,al-' though she advised Mrs. Hayes, of Boston, to take her medicine — which she knew would help her — her letter contained a mass of additicnal instruc= tions as to treatment, all ef which helped to bring about the happy result. : : .+ “Dear Mgrs. Prxgmay:—Sometime ago I wrote to you describing my symptoms and-asked your advice. You replied, and I followed all your directions carefully, and to-day I am a well woman. “The use of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound entirely expelled the tumor and strengthened my wholé system. I can walk miles now. - “ Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is worth five dollars a drop. I advise all women who are afflicted with tumors or female trouble of any kind to give it a faithful trial.” —(Signed) Mrs. E. F. Hayes, 252 Dudley St., (Roxbury) Boston, Mass. Mountains of gold could not purchase such testimony —or take the place of the health and happiness which Lydia E. Pinkhgm’s Vegetable Compound brought to Mrs. Hayes. . Such testimony should be accepted by all women as convincing evidence that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound stands without a peer as a remedy for all the distressing ills of women; all ovarian troubles; tumors ; inflammations; ulceration, falling and displacements of the wombj; backache; irregular, suppressed-or painful menstruation. Surely the volume and character of the testimonial letters we are daily printing in the newspapers can leave no room for doubt. Mrs. Hayes at her above address will gladly answer any letters which sick wormen may write for fuller information about her illness. Her gratitude to Mrs, Pinkham and Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is so genuine and heartfelt that she thinks no trouble 1s too great for her to take in return for her health and happiness. Truly is it said that it is Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Coms pound that is curing so many women, and no other medicine ; don’t forget this when some druggist wants fo sell you something else. . 3500, FORFE]T if we cannot forthwith produce the original letters and signatures of abovc testimonials, which: will prove their absolute genuineness. - b Lydia E, Pinkham Medicine Co., Lynn, Mass.
