"A little more than your income, whatever that is." A young city clergyman on his first round of parish calls found a faiu'Iy on the verge of starvation. The ruan had been out of work frr months. lie had a wife and five c'.ildren, the youngest a baby. They hid just eaten the last bit of food in the place. The young clergyman gave thern $3 and collected for them $20 i more before the day was out. A few d.iys later he calkxl to see about getting work for the man. They were again on t'e point of starving. With the $25 the voman had bought a fine new baby carriage, some coffee and sugar. When the clergyman expostulated she Indignantly denied extravagance. The children had broken the old carriage, and it was necessary the baby should have a daily airing. As for the coffee it was the first they had bad in weeks. They were accustomed to it and needed it.

General Grant's Los Cabin. It was at White Haven, a farm of a thousand acres of hilly field and tinker land owned by Frederick Dent, that General, then Lieutenant. Grant met Miss Julia Ient. the eldest daughter of the house, and won her heart. As the Dent family grew up, Mr. Dent allotted to each member In turn a tract of land from the original homestead and from two to three slaves; so, if they desired, each one had his or her own home to go to upon marriage," and house servants to do the work. It Is of one of taese homes that Mrs. Emma Dent Casey the last of the Dents of White Haven writes In the Associated Sunday Magazine, in the hope that she may ho able to dispel the erroneous idea that the far-famed log cabin of General Grant was the mean, poor, makeshift affair that the public mind ef to-day bellt ves it to have been. Of course many saw this cabin at the World's Fair, writes Mrs. Casey, and to my assertion many will say "Bosh I We saw the cabin with our own eyes." " them I will answer that a house UL-.'CCupk'd for many years is not a home, nor Is it homelike; it is an empty .-hell, a body without a soul, r dead thing and unlovely. When Captain Grant resigned from the army, old Mr. Grant, his father, gave Lim a thousand dollars. With this he built and furnished a log housof five rooms on eighty acres of land, which my f ithcr had given Mis. Grant as a bridal present. The house was built after a plau conceived by Mrs. Grant, and was fashioned and furnished with an eye to the artistic, and to the end that it was !oth homelike and refined. Through the middle of the house ran a hall, on either side of Which were the sitting-room and dining-room. Above these were three bedrooms, two of pood size, and a small front room over a portion of the hallway below. The kitchen and servants' quarters were in cabins to the rear. Long before Sister Julia's marriage to Captain Grant father gave her three slaves, who remained, of course, at White Haven while she was there. Later, when Captain and Mrs. Grant were stationed at different army posts in the free States, these slaves were left behind, for obvious reasons. With these three servants, two white horses, a wagon, a cow, and the log "house on the eighty acres of land mentioned. th" Grants began elviliin life in Missouri. I do not doubt that there are several elderly men yet living in St. Louis, or on the Gravoise, as ths neighborhood where we lived was called, that remem!or the willing hands they lent to the Grant "house-raising party;'' for it was my sister's wish that inasmuch as her home was to be of the old-fashioned kind, It must and should be built In the old-fashioned way log laid upon log by friendly hands. Sr after several busy days for colored Kitty and Mary in the kitchen, and after a quantity of trees had been felled, the logs duly hewn, notched on the ends, and then dragged to the proper site, the neighbors from the Gravoise were invited in to the "raising;" and sooner than one would have expected, for all the feasting and merrymaking, the house was done. Later, carpenters from St. Louis put on the finishing touches. As I remember them, the window sashes opened outward from the middle. Each window contained two panes of glass separated by a strip of wiod as broad as a man's hand. This gave a pleasing and harmonious effect, and was in perfect keeping with the Grant log cabin. Betides the Grants', there" was yet another home at White Haven. Father gave my brother Louis two hundred acres near the Grants', and on this he built, after h!s marriage, a brick house and called It "Wish-ton-wish." an Indian name for the whlppoorwill. For all the two examples In homenaming, the Grants called their place by no particular name. They simply spoke of it as "Home." croci In the Army. 'It is not necessary to reert to the civil war to prove that American negroes are faithful, devoted wearers of uniforms," once said a man who has seen service In both the army and the navy. "There are at the present time four regiments of negro soldiers In the regular army of the United States two outfits of .cavalry and two of infantry. All four of these regiments have been under fire In important Indian campaigns, and there Is yet to be recuvded a single instance of n man in any of the four layouts showing the white feather and the two cavalry regiments of negroes have on several occasions found themselves In very serious situations. While the fact Is well known out or; the frontier, I don't remember ever having seen it mentioned In the east that an American Indian has a deadly fear of an American negro. The most utterly reckless, dare-devil savage of the copper hue stands literally in awe of a negro, and the blacker the negro the more the Indian quails. I can't understand why this should be, for the Indians decline to give their reasons for fearing the black man but the fact remains that even a very bad Indian will give the mildest mannered negro imaginable all the room ho wants, and to spar as any old regular army soldier who has frontiered will tell jou. The Indians, I fancy, attribute uncanny and eerie qualities to the blacks. "The Sioux will hand down to their childreis- children the story of a charge that a couple of the negro cavalry troops made during the Pine Kidge troubles. It was at the height of the fracas, and the bad Indians were regularly lined up for battle. These two black troops were ordered to make the Initial swoop uiwn them. You know the noise one black man can make when he gets right down to the business of yelling. Well, these two troops of blacks started their terrific whooi In unison when they were a mile away from the waiting Sioux, and they got warmed up and in better practice with every Jump their horses made. I give you my solemn word that in the ears of us of the white outfit the yelps those two negro troops of cavalry gave sounded like the carnival whooping of 10,000 devils. The Sioux weren't scared a little blf by the approaching clouds of alkali dust, but, all the same, when the two black troops were more than a quarter of a

mile away the Indians broke and ran if the old loy himself were after them, and it was then an easy matter to round them up and disarm them. The chiefs afterward confessed that they were scared out by the awful howling of the black soldiers. "Ever s-ince thi war the United

States Navy has had a fair representation of negro bluejackets, and they make first-class naval tars. There is not a ship in the navy to-day that hasn't from six to a dozen, anyhow, of negroes on its muster rolls, the negro sailor's names very rarely get enrolled on the bad conduct lists. They are obedient, sober men and good seamen. There are many petty otficers among them." A Mbt Panic in Georsla. Ou the 1th of July 1SG4. our regiment, the Twenty-seventh Indiana, had been marching and skirmishing with the enevny between Marietta, Ga., and the Chattahoochle river. Night overtook us while we were passing through a piece of timber with a dense growth of brush up to the edge of the road on either side. We were ordered to stack our guns ami lie in such positions as to get them immediately on the least alarm, with all our accouterments on. This wo did by lying in line of battle in the rear of our guns, and, being tired and sleepy from constant skirmishing and maneuvering around Kenesa w mountain for the past few days, were soon far away In the land of dreams; but about an hour after lying down, the most of us were aroused by the hurried commands of "Fall in, steady, men !" accompanied by the cracking cf brush ami the thundering of a cavalry charge (as we then thought) on the opposite side of the road from where we were. Some of the boys actually climbed in small trees to keep from being run over, and some of the most excited fired their guns at the supposed enemy and the officers called out, "Steady don't fire until commanded." For a few seconds suspense was dreadful, but we scon found that the enemy was as badly scared as we, and wire fast Increaing the distance between us. On investigation we learned that the scare was all brought abo.it by our "cattle" guards, who were driving in a bunch of cattle, and somo of the cattle, no doubt, while browsiag in the brush in the roadside, ran onto some weary soldier, who, being thus unceremoniously roused out of his slumbers, in trying to get away, ran onto some one else, who, in turn, ran onto some one else, and so on, and the cattle, getting alarmed at the racket, went off pellmell iu the opposite direction. Thus was the alarm mutual and our 4th of July celebration complete with 110 casualties save a few black eyes and broken noses, caused by the first ones who got alarmed running over those who were more slow in getting roused up. At the time we were dreadfully alarmed, but after it was all over we were Inclined to be ashamed of It, and I presume some of them are ashamed yet, for I have never seen any mention of it since. But why should we bo ashamed? It was a very natural inference. Lee's Surrender. The last pun was fired, the last roll was called. Half starved, half naked, grim, gaunt, unapnallcd, Stained with Mood and powder, the eld array stood; "I have done all things for your good I" Thus spoke their great leader, deep grief on his face. While a halo of glory illumined the place; Some trailed their muskets, and jomc Nheathed their swords, Thry had smiled at Grant's cannon, they wept at Lee's words. And Grant was courteous &s the grand knights of old, t No glad shouts were uttered, no loud drums were rolled ; And the victors saluted those gaunt men in gray, And the fire-winged tempest died slowly away.

College that by far the larger per cent of the new students entering last year came with the intention of earning all or part of their expenses while in college. The same authority says that more of the old students are working this year than ever before at Knox. At least ft per cent of the student body are supiorting themselves to some extent. Some are doing reporting work on the local newspaper, some have positions with the merchants of the city, especially the clothiers, others wait on tables at restaurants and lunch counters for their board, while still others find it better to do general work for certain families in return for board and room. r Type of Plow. A circular-wheel plow Is something entirely new in this line. Popular Mechanics descrilK'S it as follows : "It consists of a wheel infect in diameter, on the outside of which blades or cutters are driven counter to the direction Iu which the machine Is moving. "The wheel Is hung on a frame and has neither hub nor central axle, the sprocket wheel ly which It Is made to revolve applying force at the perimeter or rim. By this plan, so the inventor claims, the central lever strain upon the wheel is avoided and the knives are gently' forced through the soil, slicing off layers. One end of the frame on which the wheel is hung Is vertically hinged to the rear axle of a iover traction truck. Wire cables are attached to the outer end of the frame and carried over pulleys at the top of two upright iosts. Below this the ends are attached to a drum upon which the cables which lower and raise the cutting wheel are coiled." Keeping Apples in Ground. I have kept apples until the next year's crop ripened with little or no rot at a cost net exceeding 3 cents per bushel as follows: Pick them as soon as ripe; store in the coldest place In an outbuilding, or the north side of trees will do; cover about eight Inches with straw, hay or like material to exclude the sun and light, as apples keep better in the dark. As soon as freezing weather conies sort the apples carefully. Then dig a trench twelve Inches deep and about three feet wide and of convenient length ; put In two or three Inches of straw, hay orcrab grass I use the latter. This is to keep the apples clear of the ground. Then put In the apples about three high and cover with tho same material used to led them. On tep of this put about three inches of dirt, which should be patted with the back of the shovel, so it will shed water. When the ground freezes down to the apples (in fact, let some of the apples freeze) cover the trench with about twelve Inches of hay or corn fodder arranged to shed water and keep the frost till spring. About the last of April the app'es may be sorted and all those that show signs of rot placed Iu the cellar or any other cold place. You will find the apples kept this way will be fresh and crisp much better than if kept in the cellar. I put very few apples in our cellar, and that is when I take them out of tho trench i'S we wish to use them, as the trench is "unhandy to open and close. Care must le taken when opening to keep out frost and air and warmth Jacob Faith. Feed (be Land. One often sees an extended list of cheap or abandoned farms offered at bargain prices. Iu most instances the property can be purchased at less than one-half of "what the improvements cost. The, land has become so unproductive as to be unprofitable for cultivation. Yet the farms once produced fair crops and supported "their owners in contentment and comfort. The men who carved these homes out of tho primeval forests were fairly prosperous and many of them accumulated liberal competences. The original owners were industrious, frugal and prudent In managing their holdings and each year witnessed an Increase to their wealth. They practiced mixed husbandry nnd always made fertilizers of their forage and the bulk of their grain. They kept a reasonable amount of stock and grazed their animals on pastures seeded with clover and other nutritious grasses. The droppings of their flocks and herds fed the poll with fertility and the land became more productive annually. When rotation of pasture fields to cultivated crops occurred the farmer was assured of a liberal reward. The development of the rich prairie lands of the West prostrated the agriculture of the East. When continental railroads penetrated the government lands and afforded an outlet to the

fey

a

m 0 products of unimproved Western prairies great herds of cattle and sheep' were produced on the free ranges or on' land that could be purchased at govern ment prices. Eastern farmers could' not compete with the Western ranch-1 men or wheat growers on cheap, fertilelands and the products of the Wostj soon dominated tho markets of Jhoi East. This meant to the Eastern farmer not only the elimination of animal husbandry, but also the deterioration of the fertility of the Eastern farms. Following a sj-stem of cultivated crops the land declined in productivity until the crops did not pay the first cost of production, and the sons of Eastern farmers sought employment and honu'S in the Industrialism of cities. Experiments are being made of reclamation of the abandoned and cheap farms of the East with artificial fertilizers. The humus, nitrogen, potash and phosphoric acid of the soil need to be restored to give tho soil its virgin vigor. While commercial fertilizers accomplish much in the restoration of worn ovit land, animal husbandry appears to be necessary for the reclamation of Impoverished farms. The droppings of animals and operations of legumes are the more rational regime for exhausted land fertility and to maintain the productivity of naturally fertile soli. iJoodall's Farmer. Bent Way to Fight the Weevil. One thousand cotton planters from Central Louisiana met at Baton Rouge to devise means for fighting the boll weevil. Government experts and boll weevil experts addressed the conference. Dr. W. I). Hunter of Dallas, who has conducted the government fight in Texas, delivered the leading address. The main points In the system of control were stated by Dr. Hunter as follows: 1. Destroy weevils In the fall. 2. Destroy weevils that may have escaped burning and bo found along hedge growths, fences, etc. 15. Prepare lund early and thoroughly. 4. Provide wind rows and plenty of space between the rows for the assistance of the natural enemies of the weevil. Ö. Insure an early crop by planting early maturing varieties. C. Chop early and give frequent cultivation in pursuance of the policy of making the crop. 7. Where labor Is sufficient, pick the first appearing weevils and infested s.juares, but do not burn the squares. 8. Use a cross-oar of iron or wood on cultivators. 0. Do not poison for the leaf worm unless its work begins at an abnormally early date. Baton Rouge Letter. DECENDANT OF PENN'S FRIEND. noextor of n Philadelphia C'lerejiiian Man nu Advicr of Founder. Almost within a stone's throw of the plot of ground where William Penn made his treaty with the Indians, and in a church whose membership consists mainlj- of descendants of old colonial rottlers, a historical sermon was preached Sunday night on the life of William Penn by a clergyman who boasts of being the great-groat-grandson of one of the Pennsylvania founder's dearest friends and counselors, says the Philadelphia North American. The church is the Emmanuel Episcopal at Girard avenue and Marlborough street, and the minister the Rev. Edward Giles Knight. According to the clergyman, there lias always .been a Giles Knight. About fifty years ago, because one generation forgot to name any of the boys Giles, one of the family had his first name changed by special act of legislature. Giles Knight, the first, came to this country with William Penn iu the good ship Welcome in KS2, auf? wheu the compact with the Indians was madet was an earnest adviser of his chief. Like William Penn, Giles Knight had quarreled with his father, then mayor of Bristol, England, over religious matters, and he sought refuge in this land that he might worship his Creator, in his own way, and when and how ho pleased. Ip his sermon Dr. Knight did pet touch upon his relationship with ti;o coionist, but devoted his talk to particulars of Feun's early life. Another member of Emmanuel church proud of his ancestry is John P. Eyre, one of the vestrymen, whose great-grandfather at one time owned the very spot of ground on which William Renn first landed.

SHIRLEY'S CREATION.

fhere Are Some Finer Things than Ilxcluiiivc Dcslgrnft. The hat was a creation. Shirley, plnalng it on her pretty hair and looking critically at tho result in the glass, aodded grdly. It was stylish and har monious and individual and she had oinde it every bit herself. She took it jff, and putting it upon her little sewing table, walked round.lt exultnntly, to view It from every point. It was such a delight to be able to make a pretty thing all herself; it was such a delight to have a new hat as stylish as Rhoda Seligman's imported ones; above all, for Shirley was. It must be confessed, rather an exclusive small person, it was a delight to have a thing all her own, different from anything that could be bought. She wore the new hat to church the next day. Perhaps sli would not have been a girl had she not been conscious of the glances of the other girls. Norah Barnes, she noticed, could scarcely keep her eyes from it. Shirley, taking off the creation when she came home, looked at it soberly for half a minute. Poor No rah Barnes! II must be hard for a girl to have no girls' things in her life. Norah was very plucky, trying to go to school and everything with her whole shiftless family pulling her back. But the next Sunday Shirley forgol about the shiftless family. She was looking at Norah with eyes full of Inj dignation. For upon NoraU's straight dark hair, above her plain, wistful face, was Shirley's hat. It was cheap and, stiff and clumsy, but that made It almost worse, for nobody could possibly miss the imitation bit by bit, it had been copied exactly. Then suddenly something happened. It was only that Norah looked up just then, and Shirley caught the expression Df her eyes. The girl with the creation ?at very still. She did not hear much rf the sermon that morning, but if the Did minister had known ho would have said : "Bless you, child, did you think I was the only one preaching? I learned bet ter than that years ago." After church, by a common impulse, two girls met. Norah's eyes still held the look that had startled the other girl, wistful, discouraged, appealing. "I 1 didn't think till afterward, Norah stammered, "that maybe you wouldn't like it. It was so pretty, and I wanted something pretty Just for once. But It's awfid I know it is. My fingers don't know how to do It." The pretty face under the creation looked very pretty Just then. "Suppose," Shirley said, "that you hrlmr It over to me to-morrow. I had some tulle and ribbon left over. My ten fingers aren't worth one of j-ours, Norah Barnes, but I can do this little thing. Will you let me because I want to?" "Oh, will you?" Norah cried; and suddenly Shirley knew that there were finer things than exclusive designs, af tcr all. Youth's Companion. r V r a rTi TiTrrvn titp tt a ti V A STARVING BISHOP. When Bishop Ifompas was in charge of the diocese of Athabasca ho under went many severe experiences, among which should be reckoned a narrow es cape from starving. II. A. Cody quotes, in "An AiMstle of the North," the ac count which Mrs. Bonipas gives of her husband's adventure. She was roused one Noveiuler night b. a loud kuocking at the door. Two Indians announced, "We bring tidings of bishop: he Is starving." It seems that the bishop had reached Tort Simpson some days later than was expected. Finding that ice was rapidly forming on the river, so that to procctd northward by canoe was impossi u;e. he started with one Indian, on a -mall raft, which was hastily and badly constructed. On this they readied at last La Violates1 house at Little Rapid, and there had to remain for ten days, until the river was fast bound. Then the bishop started to walk tho remaining distance with four Indians, one of whom went after a bear in the woods ind lost sight of the others. Their supply of provisions was most Insufficient, and from losing the right track, the Journey occupied twelve days Instead of, as is usual, six. At last, when within a day's reach of this place, the bishop was so overcome with ex haastlou as to be unable to proceed, their only meal, some time previous, having been a fish and small barley cake between four men. The Indians left him In the woods and hurried on to tell me of. his con dlllon. t My heart sank low at such tidings. But I felt that there was no time to lose, and my first effort was to Induce one of the young Indians to set off Im mediately to discover the bishop and take him the relief I would send. "Whu-tale, bishop Is starving in th woods. I send him meat chlddi, chid' ill! (quick, quick!) You take it to him, eh?' Whu-tale, with true Indian .impassiveuess, replied, "Maybe to-morrow. "No, Whu-tale; to-morrow bishop must be here. He cannot stand until lie lias eaten meat. I want you to take It now, and go to him like the wind. If you go directly and bring bishop safe, I will give you a fine flannel shirt." Whu-tale then responded a little more briskly : "Then it would not bo hard for me lo go, and perhaps like the Avind." The next moment saw me emerging from my house, wrapped In my deerskin robe, up the hill to the fort, where I had to rouse the Hudson Bay Company's oIBcer from a sound sleep to obtain a supply of moose meat. The thermometer was nearly 30 degrees below coro, and wolves In a starving condition had been seen lurking near the fort; but I thought of neither the one nor the other, and only rejoiced to get WhuJ tale off, and waited with enough anx lety through the succeeding hours. After darkness had set In on the fol lowing day the travelers appeared, trudging along on snow shoes, wear md footsore, my nusnaiid looting hard !y able to stand, and with his beard fringed with icicles.

SterUag ECZEMA ALL OVER HIM. Xo rYlg-ht'a Rest for a Year and Limit of III Endurance Seemed Xear Owe Recovery to Cutleur. "My son Clyde was almost com pletely covered with eczema. Physicians trtated him for nearly a year without helping him any. Ills head,. face and neck were covered with large scabs which he would rub until they fell off. Then blood and matter would run out and that would be worse. Friends coming to see him -said that if he got well he would be disfigured for life. When It seemed as if he could possibly stand it no longer, I used some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent. That was the first night for nearly a year that he slept. In the morning yiere was a great change for the better. In about six weeks he was perfectly well. Our leading physician recommends Cuticura for eczema. Mrs. Algy Cockburn, Shiloh, O., June 11, lOO?. The Traces of the Beaata. On every side In the Malay wilds the traces of the beasts which here live as scheduled, as safe from molestation, as did their ancestors in preAdamlte days are visible on tree trunk, on beaten gamo path and on the yielding clay at the drinking places by the hurrying stream. Here a belt of mud nine feet from the ground shows that an elephant has rubbed his itching back against the rough bark of a tree, and, see, coarse hairs are still sticking in the hardened clay. There a long, sharp scratch repeated at regular intervals marks the passing of a rhinoceros. Here, again, is the pad mark of a tiger barely an hour old. and the nltted tracks of deer of all sizes and varieties surround the deeply punched holes which "are the footstops of an elephant.

Not relishing the prospect of such com pany, the Scotsman said In his smooth est tones, "Ah, this Is a smoking car rlage, my good woman!" The fishwife took ,no notice, but pushed In. "My good woman, this is a smoking carriage," repeated the male passenger in louder tones. The fishwife put her creel in the corner and sat down opposite to him, and the train starfcM Then the woman put her hand in a pocket of her blue petticoat, took out a large black pipe, lit it, and, blowing a cloud of rank smoke that nearly suffocated her companion, remarked, "And so, my raannie, ye thocht naebody could tak' a draw bat yerself."
