Planta as Supply Stores. There are few plants that have not ben utilized one way or another by mankind for food, paper, drugs, or other purpose. Among many not so well known may be mentioned the Japanese wax tree, bearing bunches of fruit growing like grapes, which contain a species of wax used in mak ing candles. Another tree, found Jn the Pacific Islands, and known as the candle-nut yields a large quantity of oil, while the kernels are strung together on a tick and lighted as a candle. The fruit of the eandle tree is between three and four feet In length, about an Inch in diameter, amd of a yellowish color. A? they are seen hanging from the tree, they present the appearance of a number of wax csfndlei, and are in such abundance as to give the idea of a chandler's shop.

THE BATTLE-FIELDS.

OLD 60LDIER3 TALK OVER ARMY EXPERIENCES. The Blue and the Gray Review Inci dent of the L.ate War, and In a Graphic and Interesting Manner Tell of Camp, March and Battle. I was a member of the Ninety-third regiment of the Ohio Volunteer infan try. In the battle of Chickamauga, Just at dark on Saturday, the 19th of September, 18C3, my leg was broken by a musket ball sent out by the Johnnies in our front This occurred in the woods about half a mile to the west of Jay's Mill, and we were falling back at the time. Soon after our lines bad fallen back the Confederates established their pickets for the night. A squad (Ave, if I remember correctly) were passing to the front about fifty yards from where I had fallen. I called to them. They halted, and asked me who I was and what I wanted. I replied that I was a wounded Federal soldier, and wanted to be helped Into an easier position, as I suffered from a broken leg. They came to me promptly and assisted me as gently as if I had been one of their own men or a brother to a large tree where I would be protected from the fire of our own men, first taking off my woolen blan ket and spreading it down for me to lie on, placing my cartridge box under my head for a pillow and spreading my oilcloth over me. The tenderness with which they had lifted me touched me. and I said: 'Boys, an hour or two ago we were engaged in shooting each other, and now you are treat'ns me with tne greatest kindness. I hardly know how to thank you for it in return." The only reply they made was: "Well, old fellow, we are doing to you only as we should like to be done by. It may come our turn next," and they passed on to the front picket line for the night. I was suffering so at the time that I did not notice all the little details connected with this visit of the Johnnies that night; but the next morning, when I awoke from a halffeverish, dreamy sleep, I found that one or them had spread half of a home-made calico quilt over me, saying nothing about it, end doubtless keeping the other half to shelter him in his nightlong watch on picket post. Was there ever a more beautiful type of chivalry and Christian charity than this? ThU incident crows brighter to mo as the years go by. God bless you. boys, wherever you may be! I would love to have you for my neighbors. My command was the Ninety-third Ohio infantry, McCook's corps, but at that time attached to Thomas' corps, on our left (your right). The Confed erates near our part of the line were of Cleburne's division, in which were the Second, Thirty-fifth and the Fortyeighth Tennessee, First Arkansas, Third and Fifth Confederate, and Cal vert s Arkansas battery. I was kept prisoner of war most of the time at At lanta, Ga., and on the 17th of Febru cry, 1SG4, was included In a special ex change of prisoners (twenty-eight Tanks for twenty-eight Johnnies), all badly wounded. I should be glad to hear from some of the boys who treat ed me so klndy on the occasion re f erred to. W. C. Brown In Confed erate Veteran. How a Captain Won Distinction. "Speaking of war Incidents," f-?ald a veteran newspaper man, "a friend of mine in West Virginia, who wore the Union blue In the civil war, was the principal actor In an affair that was unique. He was promoted from captain to colonel for bravery in the face of the enemy, when as a matter of fact he was brave on the occasion which brought aoout his promotion because he could not help it. It was a case of bravery being actually forced upon him against his will. "It appears that the Union troops of which the captain's company was a part had become demoralized to come extent by the fire of the Con federates, and the soldiers were scattered over the battlefield In squads. The captain had secured a stray horse, and soon after mounting the strange animal an orderly dashed up to him and said: 1 : ""The general commands you to charge your men and take those works in front of your line.' f 'Turning to the scattered troops the capta! sang out: "'Bally men, the general has or dered us to capture those works ahead.' "As some of the soldiers were linlns up for the advance the captain acci dently touched the flanks of the strange horse. With a snort the ani mal seizing the bit in his teeth, sprang forward, and, going like a whirlwind, headed straight for . the enemy's works. "'Come on, men,' shouted the cap tain, as he clung on for dear life and rugged at the bridle in a desperate effort to bring the, excited beast to a standstill. But the more he tugged at the bit the faster the horse went toward the enemy. . "Bullet were 'zipping' uncom fort ably close to the captain, and he ex pected to be punctured by a minnle ball at any instant He glanced back ward and saw the scattered follow ers far in the rear. He was close upon the earthworks, when, gripping the reins and closing his eyes,v the meantime yelling, whoa! at the horse, he prepared for the worst With great bound the animal cleared the works and was on the Inside. The sole defender was a gray-clad Confed erate Infantryman, who had been peg ging away with his musket at the Union line. . "'Surrender, - you scoundrel,' the captain shouted, partly, in terror and partly to terrorize the solitary Confed erate soldier. "The Southerner dashed down a hll and disappeared in a nearby thicket, leaving the captain and. his excited prancing steed in sola possession of the works he had captured singlehanded and against h!a wilL "I tt3 simply ructtd into fame and glory by a crazy mzaway horse,1 till tha c-rtaln, 'Izt when ny promcl!;n ccm5, with a thrillinjj !:rrri

Met After Forty Years. They were, talking at the club on a recent evening of coincidences, relates the New York Herald. Finally, after the rehearsal of several more or Jess strange happenings, a middle-aged man who had been an attentive listener said: "I had last autumn the strangest coincidence of ray life. When a boy dur. Ing the civil war I lived with my pa rents on the south shore of Staten Isl and. Just across the narrows was ort Lafayette, whare many prisoners were confined. "One hot July day, a short time aftei he bloody battle of Antietam, I rowed n a boat across the narrows with two young companions and approached the fort, which, as you know, occupies a small Island a few hundreds yards from he Long Island shore. "It was always a temptation to boys o see how near the sentries who patroJed the walk around the island would let them approach. On this day the two sentries on guard happened to mve both walked on their respective rounds out of sight, so we were able to get close up underneath the Island and near the fort. "A prisoner thrust his head as far aa possible between the small bars of a narrow slit in the fort high up from the ground and called out, 'What news of the war, boys?' "We called out the story in brief of the battle of Antietam, of which oui fathers had told us that morning. Jus. then one of the sentries appeared and shouted to us to keep off. "Last autumn I am now a man of 4S I was traveling on a beautiful moonlight night from Cincinnati to Chattanooga. We were passing through the blue grass country, and I stepped out on the platform of the rear car to get the air and enjoy the beauty of the peaceful scenery, which I had nev er before viewed. "A tall, white-haired man stepped out and stood beside me. We fell into conversation, and he began to tell me of Incidents of the civil war in that section. " 'I am myself from New Jersey or iginally, he said, 'but my people were all Southerners, and so I fought on the Confederate side in the struggle, un happily, I was captured at the second Bull Run and passed two years in a Northern prison.' "somenow, I know not wny, I re called and tojd the 'incident of my youth above narrated. "lie listened attentively, paused a moment and replied, 'You amaze mel Truth Is, Indeed, stranger than fiction. I am Col. Y , and I recall the day and scene as if it were yesterday. I lost a brother at Antietam and when the sentry ordered you boys off I re member my presentiment that you had unconsciously brought me sad tid ings.' " Memory of Gen. L.ee. Soon after the Confederates began to enter the town (Elizabethtown) I met a friend of mine, the son of Dr. Doyle, who told me that his father had just been sent for to see Lee, and that I might go too If I hurried, says ä writer in the Century. It Is need less to say that I ran as fast as my small legs could carry me and we found the doctor Just starting. Dr. Doyle was a man who had been in communication with the enemy from the beginning of the war, but had so far managed to escape the fate of many innocent men. Two of his sons had been arrested a short time before and were lying in the Jail when theii friends arrived and set them free. The doctor was in his old rig, and, being an immense man, left no room for any one else in It, so we two boys sat on the springs behind. It was oh the Williamspart . pike, about half a mile from the town, that we met Gen. Lee. He had dismounted and way standing by his horse, a small sorrel mare, which, I was told, it was hh custom to ride on the march. His staff was brilliant In gold lace, but he was very simply dressed. No one could hr.ve seen that man without being greatly impressed with the dignity of his bearing and the beauty of his face. Hl3 hair at this time was al most entirely white, and those who had seen him the year before said he had aged greatly in the short space of time which had elapsed since the battle of Antietam. I could not help thinking of Washington as I looked at that calm, sad face. It has been said since by those who were near him that he had no expectation of conquer ing the Norrh, and that, at the most ho only "-hoped to win a great battle on Northern soil In order to affect public opinion in Europe and lead to the recognition of the South' era Confederacy. Ilowever that may be, there was nothing about his bear ing which looked like a great hope. Many Bronze Bnttons, "It will be a very long journey, thousands of miles," says General Wilmon W. Blackmr, commnder-ln-chlef of the G. A. R., "if one attempts to run away from the little bronze button. I tried it once. Two years ago I sailed from San Francisco for Japan and Manila. I wanted to see what the new comrade had been do ing for us. On shipboard I found sev eral old soldiers of our army, men who wore the bronze button of com radeshlp in the Grand Army. On our arrival at Yokohama the first person who met us was a man wearing the button, Comrade Arthur M. Knapp, a veteran of the Forty-fourth Massa chusetts regiment In China I found the buttons on the highest officers of the land, aud In Manila there were hosts of them. In Honolulu we were received by"a post, and our visit made pleasant by scores of veterans from every Bection of the Union. On shipboard, coming home, wo hld a campfire In mid-ocean, end showed the passengers, that America was a country to look upon with respect and at tention."

The aggregate value of honey and beeswax in 1900 was $G,GG3,000. Skim milk and llcseed meal will substitute whole milk for calves. The Italian bee works better and is more easily handled than the black one. The tows should have a month's vacation and during August Is a good time to let them lay off. Corn and clover hay make a ration that Is hard to beat, and that is a cheap one to produce in nearly every part of the comtry. Don't blame the nurseryman If your trees don't grow, unless you have done your part in planting them and have kept on doing your psirt by cultivat ing them. A ncTr idea to destroy the dreaded borers fs to place large flat stones, tarred cn the under side, close to the base o2 the tree. The tar works into f the earth and kills the borer. If yen have a horse to sell, make him faV-"ft as a hog." This may not male the horse any stronger or in any wfty better, but It will make him sell better and at a higher price. The Quantity of iline required in bordeaux mixture varies considerably with the quality of the rock from which it is made. For this reason It is advisable to test each lot of the bordeaux mixture af.te, It Is made up. Every bit of poor butter sold by the farmer is bought up, worked over nn renovated and sold at the highest price. Why don't you make good but ter in the first place and get 30 cents a pound for it Instead of 10 or 12 cents? Some cows give large flows of milk Immediately after calving, but do not keep it up very long and often go dry in five or six months and produce comparatively little butter fat; while others give only a medium flow of milk when fresh, but keep it up for ten montas and produce over 300 pounds of butter a year. Better stock and more of It is what you hear most about when you visit the South. Teople in that section are awakening to the necessity existing for a better grade of stock. Breed ers throughout the country should investigate the opportunities of the South and see what could be done along the line of finding a market for a good share of their surplus. It will prove a profitable venture to the bretxler who gets in on the ground floor. A successful poultry keeper once received a letter from a man who thought he would like to learn how to run a farm. This man wrote: "I could do the light work and the heavy thinking for you." The answer that went back by the next mall was: There Is no light work on this farm, and I am capable of doing the heavy thinking myself!" The suggestion from this man will illustrate the way some people regard farming. They have an Idea that a fanner needs some on to think for him, and that this "thinking" can be done by an out sider who never did farm work. How absurd such a thing would be in connection with any other branch of busi ness and good farming requires more planning and hard thinking. than any other trade. As for this . hunt for 'light work" why cannot people see that only the hardest and most pains taking toil fits a man to really think hard? Seed Better Than Soil. A gTeat many farmers seem to think that just as good results can be ob tained by using soil from an old al falfa field on uninoculated ground as from inoculated seed by government cultures. The misleading statement has been published that 100 pounds of soil will inoculate an acre of ground. This is a mistake, and the farmer who tries it will not only lose his la bor but his crop. The agricultural department says that it it requires 500 to 1,500 pounds of soil to the acre to get the best results and that there is great danger of transplanting soil dis ease and .seeds of obnoxious weeds. By the use of nitro-culture applied to the seed there is no reasonable doubt of success, because every seed comes In contact with the culture. When In: oculated soil Is spread over the ground it is plain that not more than one seed in & thousmd can be touched by the bfccterla. Birds Dcserre Well of U. A French naturalist asserts that If the world should become blrdless men would not inhabit It after nine years time, In spite of all the sprays and poisons that would be manufactured for the destruction of Insects. The bugs and slugs would simply eat up our orchards and crops. There is no telling what would be come of the farmers If Jt were no. fort various species of sma 1 birds that eat the seeds of weeds and so dimin ish the reproduction of these noxious plants. Some of the most pertiferous weeds yield incredible numbers of seeds, a single plant maturing as many as 100,000 In a season, so that a single individual, ft unchecked, might conceivably produce In the spring of the third year 10,000,000,000 healtry offspring. Against foe3 so enromously prolific the farmer is almost helpless and they would likely overwhelm him, but for his friends the birds, which flock In myriads each fall and winter to the agricultural districts ana feed upon the ripened weed seeds. Striped Mules. The latest beast of burden to at tract general attention 13 th "zzb-

rula," a half horse, half zebra mongrel, which has been tried with great success In South Africa and will be, it is said, brought to Europe and America. The zebrula. on account of its form and general bodily condition especially the hardness of the hoofa Is thought to be specially adapted for all transport work heretofore performed by mules. The zebrula Is much Ufelier than the raule and at least as ntelllgent The sebra stripes are ofttfn well preserved, while the undertone of the skin is generally that of the mother. A full-grown zebrula fs fourteen hands high and the gin?! circumference about sixtythree inKies. The experiments so far have ben so successful that it Is predicts-. that the zebrula during the present tentury will completely supersede the mule.

Boots for Pasture. Experiments have repeatedly shown that it pays to let swine do their own harvesting with certain root crops, although it must be remembered that other feed constituting as nearly a balanced ration as possible must also be fed. Mangles or beets (sugar beets) sown now and cultivated more or less during the summer will make a pas ture crcp on which the swine may be turned In the fall with excellent results. When turned on to such a pas ture thry should be permitted to do as they please, which is generally to consume the tops and then dig out the roots. Of course, the seed must be sown on fairly good soil and soil that does not bake too hard, etc the swine cannot get at the roots. We make it a practice to turn them into this field for about two hourt daily and keep up the barn feed of i mixture of corn meal and middlings, which, with the roots, constitute an almost perfect ration. Sometimes a pasture is varied by giving them a turn on to the last crop of rape or on to grass of some kind and the change is satisfactory. Handled In this way the cost of preparing the hog for the fattening period is comparatively small and the animal is in excellent shape to take on weight quickly. Peddling Vegetable. Located near a thriving summer resort, the writer has for years observed the methods employed by truckers as well as by the men who buy all they sell, and has observed that, in nine cases out of ten, the latter are the best merchants, and generally because the vegetables they buy have been graded by the wholesaler so that they are presented to the consumer In an attractive form. The man who raises vegetables, on the other hand, hates to see anything he cannot sell, and he tries to get rid of cull stuff by hiding it among the better vegetables. As a result he sooa loses his trade. A lady housekeeper in town recently remarked that she rarely bought things of farmers because she found their products were not reliable. This is certainly a sad state of affairs, for who should better be able to deliver first class stuff than the man who raises it. And who is better able to know what first class stuff is than the farmer? There is not a man in the country with a thriving town within easy reach who should not be able practically to control , the best trade In that town in the products of his farm,, at least against the middleman, if he will be honest In the grading of his goods and put them up as attractively äs the competitor. Surely the average housekeeper prefers the vegetables fresh from the ground to those that have been shipped from a distance; but, on the other hand, she has no wish to find culls among tho things for which she has paid a fair price. See the point? Indianapolis News. Clover Is Farmer' Standby. Clover Is a mortgage-lifter and a seil enrlcher. It fills the hay mow and the granary and the milk-pall. It thrives In a great variety of soils. It only refuses to grow upon acid soil, though it prefers soils with lime In them. It carries the bacteria that draw nitrogen from the air, and thus enriches the soil In plant food. It provides a forage rich in flesh and bono builders. It is not nearly so choice of soils as alfalfa. It is the safe forerunner of corn and grass. Red clover Is strictly speaking a biennial plant, it grows for two years, then dies in its natural course. The first year It makes a strong root and gets ready for Its serious business In life, the blcom and seed. The second year It maks seed and dies. There are individual plants that do not make seed the second year, or, making seed, make so little that they survive In a weakened state another year or more. There are plants that bloom and die the first year. Therefore, blooming the first year should bo discouraged, for the best development does not come until the second year. The mower will prevent seed forming the first year. It will not pay to continue the clover meadow past the second year unless there is grass sown with it to carry on the sward. As to the best variety on worn souls the mammoth Is the best. Always help clover with manure, bone -meal or phosphorus. It may be well to add potash to the ration. It is astonishing how red clover responds to a light manuring with stable manure. Feed the baby clover plants, they will then be the stronger to forage and gather foods for the enrichment of the field. It will be Veil to use a light seeding of oats, say three pecks to the acre, with the clover and cut them for hay when getting into bloom. Do not omit tb clipping, it is vita? as the oats will rob and kill the clove? If cHowed to rlrea.

THE TEACHER'S FOE

A LITE ALWAYS THREATENED BY 1TEBV0US PE03TEATI0U. . One TVho Ttroke Down from Six Tear cf Overwork Tells Haw She Escaped Misery of Unforced Idleness. 'I had been teaching in the city schoolä steadily for six years," said Ltiss James, whose recent return to the work from which she was driven by nervous collapse has attracted attention. "They wero greatly overcrowded, especially in the primary department of which I had charge, and I had been doing the work of two teachers. The 6train was too much for my nerves and two years ago the crisis came. I was prostrated mentally and phy sically, sent in my resignation and never expected to be able to resume work. It seemed to mo then that I was the most miserable woman on earth. I was tortured by nervous headaches, worn out by inability to sleep,, and had so littla blood that I was as white as chalk. "After my active life, it was hard to bear idleness, aud terribly discouraging to keep paying out the savings of years for medicines which did mo no good." "How did you get back your health?" "A bare chance and a lot of faith led me to a cure. After I had suffered f oi many months, and when I was on tha very verge of despair, I happened to read an account of some cures effected by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The statements were so convincing that I somehow felfc assured that these pills would help me. Most people, I think, buy only one box for a trial, but I purchased sis boxes at once, and when I had used them up, I was indeed well and had nq need of more medicine. "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills enriched my thin blood, gave me back my sleep, re stored my appetite, gave me strength to walk loDg distances without fatigue, in fact freed me from all my numerous ailments. I have already taught for several months, and I cannot say enough in praise of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." Miss Margaret M. James is now living at No. 123 Clay street, Dayton, Ohio. Many of her fellow teachers have also used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and are enthusiastic about their merits. Sound digestion, strength, ambition, and cheerful spirits quickly follow their use.

Then her people had the marked char acteristics of a free and independent race and Vermonters have ever shown themselves worthy of the brotherhood of "the old thirteen," whicn they were the first to enter after the adoption of the constitution. The sturdy traits which made the sons and daughters of this common wealth famous in the eighteenth century have been communicated in large degree to their descendants. Aside from recent additions to the population by French from Canada Vermont always has been singularly free from foreign admixture. Its people are almost entirely agricultural, and manufacturing is carried on by only a small percentage of the population. No slave was ever owned in ermont and it was a Vermont judge who brought to book a Southern slaveholder showing a bill of sale for a slave he sought to reclaim. The bill was refused status in court and when the haughty Southerner demanded to be told what sort of title would be ac ceptable Judge Theophllus Harrington replied: "A bill of sale from God Almighty!"
