A ItcmarkiiMo Shot. When Lee found himself at last hemmed in on all sides at Petersburg, and the once proud strength of the Army of Northern Virginia no longer capable cf obeying the master mind, the hour of a mighty crisis presented itself between the two veteran armies stretching, face to face, for miles, in compass before the beleaguered city. The 29th of March, ISC", was close at hand; ere the sun had risen and sunk twice again the whole Army of the Potomac w:ell knew the inexorable "Hammerer" would inaugurate his bold initial stroke to crush his shattered opponent. Gallant Sheridan had joined the army, and his sturdy troops were eaer for the bugle's resounding charge.i A strange and romantic incident marked the temporary bivouac of the cavalry that night of the 27th and the afternoon following. Located close by the , ripples of Chamberlain creek was a pretty yet modest dwelling; within were seated an aged lady and her daughter the latter beauteous of face and form, with eoft brown eyes and waving curls of chestnut hair. The two were the sole occupants of the ho ise; the husband and father was even then on the opposite side of those gray-manned earthworks destined to be the last ditch of the Confederacy. Suddenly there was a knock at the door, and almost ere the girl could step forward in answer to the summons, a captain of Union cavalry came hurriedly and familiarly into the little sitting room. -Mrs. Dean!" he saluted, "it has been long since we met: Isabel, I greet you!" "Ah. Harold Prentiss, this unexpected visit can hardly be realized!" exclaimed the girl, while she permitted him to take her hands warmly; "and you are. indeed.' with the army of the North?" "Yes, one of Sheridan's boys." His welcome was cordial, but he saw that there was some deep anxiety In their hearts. "Years," he continued, "since last we met. Just think, Isabel! ' And even the stern tide cf war has brought j.ice again together. You are triu blue, Isabel and your mother?" "We would- be, Harold," answered the mother, with bowed head, "but we must pray for the gray, because Isabel's father is with Lee." "There' do not weep, Mrs. Dean. Soon all will be over, and George Dean, we must hope, will come safely back to you. Hut now I have not many minutes. I have actually stolen the pleasure of this visit to ask Isabel as I asked her before I fled to join the warriors of our starry bannrr if she will be my wife? I have been true to my love for you. Isabel, all the.e years. The end of the war is at h ind: the great southern leader himself must know II. I speak, Isabel " "Harold. I cannot decide. Ah. did I not tell you. years ago, that I could not choose between two such lovers as yourself and Mart Diering?" "You still talk that way," he said, with latent reproach, "when you know that even In the long ago he resorted to tricks to win you from me?" "Ay, to-day," she rejoined, with drooping head." "I confess I love both too well to make solemn choice of either." "Can nothing decide you?" A third voice sounded unexpectedly. Across the threshold stepped another of Sheridan's brave captains. Mart Diering himself, and while Isabel did not shrink from the warm grasp he, too. gave her hands, he half faced about, saying: "I think I can suggest a way' to settle this, Captain Prentiss. You and I were famous marksmen when we roamed these same fields together before the war. Now. one of us must win sweet Isabel. What say? let us target for the rare prize, if she will give assent, the luckiest bullseye to be the winner." "Isabel, do you consent to this?" Harold asked, eagerly. An instant she hesitated, then anrwered: ( "Be It so. Whichever of you shall strike the target nearest to the very center, that one I will marry." "To-morrow afternoon we may manage this -affair in the orchard at the rear cf this house." said Diering. The rival captains separated. Prentiss communicated to his waiting orderly. Jack Danks, what was in prospect. "All right, Captain." said Banks, in an unnecessarily hard voice; "I'll mark your bullet with crosses, one on each side, so that there shall be no mistake when you plug the center, for I know you are a quicker shot than Captain Diering." Then the orderly turned his head and watched a skulking figure hastening toward Diering's horse. It was the latter Captain's orderly. "He heard me and that's what I wanted the rascal!" Banks muttered. "The bullet marked with crosses will b? fired by Captain D'.ering, but It will not win, or I am mistaken in my own hunter's cunning and my Captain's quickness." Notwithstanding the excited though systematic preparation for unleashing the army for the preliminary assault at Five Forks, the rival captains were at the orchard in the rear of the Dean dwelling, each accompanied by a few men from his company. A small target was improvised against a tree, and Banks, having become master of the ceremonies by skillful tossing of the button, he said: "Comrades and you, ladies this contest requires that the winner shall strike the target nearest the center. Comprehend my words, please." "It Is as you have stated," declared Isabel, grimly, but with fluttering heart. "Ready!" he cried. And the two marksmen gripped their weapons with Bteady nerves. "Aim! fire!" A double report, mingled In one, broke the stillness of the orchard. The face of Banks was beaming. He knew that, almost imperceptible as it would seem, the shot from the rifle of hU Captain was ahead by a fraction of a second. "Wait!" he Intercepted, as all would

i way In whun you could identify your bullet. Captain Diering?" "Yes. My bullet is marked by two crosses, one on each or opposite sides." "Good. Then let me tell you all that Captain Prentiss' rifle has shot no bullet at all. I loaded the weapon myself, and its missile was a portion of a ramrod. Now, forward, and let us see the result." Troopers and contestants crowded around the target, and there was instantly a murmur of astonishment. In the very center of the target protruded a part of a ramrod, with its cup outermost. In the cup was a partly fiattened ball, wedged tightly, and when the latter was extracted it bore the traces of two cross marks! "What does this mean?" demanded Captain Diering. angrily. "The terms were very plain." replied Banks, with a complacent smile of triumph. "Your bullet has not even touched the target; my captain has hit the mark plumb center " "A trick! It is not fair!" "These are war times, captain" maintained Banks, stoutly. "This is a conquest within the terms. Turning to Isabel, the faithful orderly continued: "Do not forget, lady, that all is fair In love as in war, where victory is tho goal." Harold was himself astounded, but quickly availing of Banks remarkable scheme, he stepped to the side of the beautiful gi'l. "Isabel, have I not won you?" "Yes." At that juncture a distant blast of bugles wafted through the orchard. A hurried kiss, a quick "good-by," and the captains were gJloping swiftly away to rejoin their regiments. Of the bloody scenes and valorous deeds which followed, when the boys of Sheridan swept to and fro in mortal combat pvith the gray between Hatchers Run and Dinw'ddie Court House, the new generation has read and marveled upon, and the clash of saber upon bayonet and the wild yells of desperate foemen are still In the ears of those among the stetl-brlstling horsemen cf the gallant generals who now survive. Both captains lived to see the triumph of the stars and stripes, and in the tranquil dawn of peace Harold returned to claim his strongly won bride, fair Isabel Dean. The Veteran Snr It All. An old man with silvery hair was led into the cyclorama of Gettysburg In New York by a bright-faced littl miss in a jaunty gypsy hat and dress, and sat down while she descrfbed to him the features of the picture in detail, occasionally asking her a question or shaking his head slowly, as if In doubt of '.he accuracy of her account. She had described to him in her own way the on-rush of Pickett's men and the lur.d-to-hand conflict at the stone fence where the Pennsylvania veterans met the charge of the Southerners, when he aked, "But whero's the artillery, Mag?" "Oh, you moan the big guns. They're over there on the hill in a row." "All in a row?" he asked. "Yes," she replied. He shook his head. "Iook around.' said he.. "There must be some more that are not in line." "Yes," she said. "There are some down here, but they are all upet and 5eem to be broke::. I think they are busted." "Is that where the men are coming over the stcne wall?" "Yes. grandpa." "Is there a grove of trees?" "Yes, grandpa. It seems to he full of men, but the smoke is so thick you cannot see them." "Oh, I can see them," he cried. It was then noticed jy several people who were listening to him that he was blind. The little girl said: "Oh. no, grandpa, you can't see them." "Yes, I can," he answered. "I can see them very well, and the broken cannon, too:' The child looked at him with innocent surprise as she said: "You are joking now." "No, my dear," replied the old man. "No. That was the last thing I ever saw on earth. There was a caisson exploded there just this side of that fence, and that was the last terrible picture I ever saw, and I have never got the picture of it out of my mind." An Incident at llnrper'a Ferry. Every boy in blue who ever got to that delectable place named above will probably recall the time3 he filled his canteen at the spring under the Odd Fellows' Hall. The writer of this squib often drank and was refreshed by Its sparkling water. If memory serves him right, after a lapse of nearly a quarter of a century, there were at the Ferry in the spring of 'C2 the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania. Tenth Maine, the Sixtieth New York Regiments Infantry, and the First Maine and Fifth New York Cavalry, a.nd of these commands, more or less, the rank ,and file drank from this spring; but what caused the sudden outbreak cf dysentery among the troops probably never was known to many of those who turned toes to the daisies In the hospital on the hillside. Across the village street lived a baker by occupation, and at heart a "Johnny" of the rankest sort. He poisoned that spring, and he did it well. The writer was one of his victims, but Surgeon Day of the Maine Tenth, didn't tell this until after Antietam's battle, in September, 1862, or that Johnny would have received his dues in full and a comfortable overcoat made of wood to boot. Ilreaat Plate. Without the means of knowing to what extent, or if this is the only solitary instance of wearing treast plates, I will proceed to state the facts regarding at least one breast plate worn at tho battle of Shiloh. I was a subaltern officer in a Mississippi regiment, and we had captured quite a number of prisoners from Prentiss' command. Among these prisoners was a Captain II., of the Seventeenth Iowa, who entered Into conversation with me. After a little he took off hi., vest, and taking from it a metallic breast plate, presented it to me, remarking that ii had saved his life, but that he should probably have no further use for it. Upon examining the plate I founcl sure enough, an indentation made by a minie bullet directly over the region of the heart. The relic was esteemed a decided curiosity by all who saw it. The Gejman cavalry ha3 been equipped ith a powerful carbine fitted with a saber bayonet, to replace the saber. For short distances the salmon the swiftest swimming fish, 13

cv o 31 ore Walking:. What the inventor says will be a great boon to small farmers, as the Invention, it Is claimed, will do the work of six horses, Is in use in California, but It can be adapted to any locality. It is a gasoline tractor and is a help in plowing, harrowing and harvesting. It will keep running as long as it Is fed gasoline. Built with a two cylinder motor, the tractor has plenty of power. It has two speeds, forward and reverse, and Is easily operated from an extension seat, from much the same position a driver would occupy with his team. It Is particularly an orchard tractor, having low, wide wheels, narrow tread, short wheel base and short turning raidius. A special feature Is that the tractor may be driven from the seat of the ordinary wheel plow or harrow, enabling one man to drive and operate the levers of this plow and cultivator with perfect ease and convenience. It is a one man machine, light in weight, with all control levers conveniently arranged. To obtain the greatest efficiency tho front wheels are made the traction wheels; also the steering wheels. In the rear are smaller plain wheels, close together, with flanges to hold against side slipping, used simply as trailers, to which the plow, cultivator, Harrow or farm wagon is hitched the same a3 though coupled to the small wheels used on the rear of the ordinary tonguo when plowing with a team. Tbo power plant is built in a stiff stel frame, mounted rigidly to the main axle, and is composed of a two cylinder opposed engine of standard make, rated at twenty-four horsepower. ThuiUT lu riK. Thumps In pigs is caused by a surplus of fat and a lack of exercise. The thumping Is due to violent beating of he heart, causing shaking movement of the sides and flanks of the animal, üften It is so violent that the whole body trembles and shakes with tha. movements. In aggravated cases the pig Is weak and uncertain in his walk, and lie3 down most of the time. Before death the nose, ears and other parts of the body become red and purple with congested blood, due to weak circulation. Advanced case3 of the thumps are difficult to cure. When first symptoms are noticed reduce the bedding if there is much in their sleeping quarters; reduce the feed and compel the pig to exercise In the open air. Fresh air will purify the blood and exercjs? will promote circulation. When pigs become fat and lazy they will lie in bed a great part of the time, often completely covered with bedding, so that they breathe impure air and dust. This polsonä the blood and reduces the vitality in general, which, with compression of the heart with surplus fat, causes the malady. In the spring or summer when pasture Is good it is well to change pasture of hogs afflicted with the thumps so that they will be induced to take more exercise and cat green food. Reduce heavy feeding and keep the bowels of the animal loose by doses of castor oil. A little turpentine in the slop or drinking water is said to be good. Value of Cunl Aahea. There is niorp value in coal ashes than is generally realized by the farmer. For the amelioration of heavy clay land they are exceptionally valuable. This is particularly ko with the ashes of soft coal, as such usually are reduced almost to a dust. Coal ashes have a fertilizer value. This opinion, however, Is not held generally. The coal bed3 contain phosphorous, potash, nitrogen and lime, as well as the other less Important Ingredients. When the original trees out of. which were formed the coal beds were reduced to coal the mineral elements remained in them, and const j quently those same elements go with ' the ashf3. One authority says that j the reason why people have formed an Idea that coal ashes contain no fertility Is that the trees now grown have in them les3 carbon than those in the old days and thus the percentage of other elecnents to carbon 13 probably greater now than then, which gives a larger value to our wood ashes but does not annihilate (he value In the coal ashes. Ashes can be used to advantage without sifting, but large quantities of half-burned coal are by some considered a detriment to the soil. Seletlnr Seed Corn. In gathering the corn crop, It is well to look out for next year's seed. Next to good soil and good cultivation, is good seed. Do not place too much confidence In abnormal Individual ears, iect good ears frc.ni rows which produce a large yield. And when seeding time comes next year, do not rely too much on the character of the seed. With well-prepared soil and thorough :ulture, a large crop of corn can be 5rown from almost any kind of seed, which will germinate, but good seed will increase the yield, and will fully repay tho trouble and cost of obtaining It. The Ilee'a Senae of Direction. A French beekeeper made a test yhlch satisfied him that the sense of direction is more finely developed in the bee than in the pigeon. He took

a dozen pigeons and a dozen bee3 about eight miles from his garden and there

released them. To recognize the "bees he dusted them with flour, and had a friend stationed near the hive and well in view of the dovecote. The first bee arrived home exactly fifteen seconds before the first pigeon, and their companions followed In due order. uet Poa thole Anger. An Invention that will be found useful by fence-makers and farmers generally, is the post-hole auger designed by a Michigan man. This Implement digs a narrow, fence or other post hole and digs it quickly. In appearance the auger resembles a clean hole, just the right diameter for a huge auger of the ordinary carpenter's kit. It Is pressed down into the earth, the jaws taking in the amount of dirt a post would replace, and then withdrawn, bringing up the dirt just as a dredger would. Indeed, the implement works much like a dredging machine. The advantage of auger is in ' the small, clean hole It makes. Without it a post hole must be dug with a spade and the smallest spade not only makes a hole too big, but one that necessarily slants from the rim to the bottom and must be filled again. It Is easy to understand that a post will stand much more firmly in a hole that does not have to be filled in. Snatla and Slugs. A woman gardener wrote to State Zoologist II. A. Surface at Harrisburg, Pa., asking for Instructions how to overcame the gnails In her garden. Prof. Surface replied: "Snails and slugs, although very great and serious garden pests, especially where the gardens are damp and the vegetation rank, can be prevented by the use of an impassable barrier of powdery substance around the beds of plants to be protected. Soot Is excellent for this, although dry ashes will serve the purpose, and alr-slaked lime will be found very good. Also, you can kill them by dusting them with some freshly slaked lime mixed with paxis green, using about thirty parts of the lime to one part of the paris green, which is dusted abundantly over their bodies. Also dusting their food plants with flour and paris green will destroy them. Another method is to poison some leaves of plants of which they are particularly fond, and put this where the snails will find and eat them and be. destroyed. Another method is to place boards loosely on the ground, as traps, and in the moraing examine them and pick out and gather the snails and brush them into a vessel containing salt, which will kill them. If the ground is dry and cracked pour salt water into the cracks and thu3 destroy them. The barriers mentioned above should be kept dry, or renewed every time after a rain. Keep the vegetation around the garden mowed low, or keep the ground cultivated, so that these pests will not find suitable places where they can multiply." The Poultrr Yard. Eighteen hen that were fed milk last winter lail more eggs tiian 100 fed on cut bon and meat. A flock might just as well roost in trees as in K house full of cracks and holes, which chills the birds in spots and poduces bad colds. A hen too fat gets lazy; she takes no interest In life. One too poor cares nothing about her egg record. The happy medium is a happy hen. Some people aro willing to pay an extra price for eggs on one color. Many people get a cent or more a dozen for sorting their hen fruit according to size and color. Cn some farms the young chickens are allowed to roost outdoors during the summer and fall. They should at ence be trained to winter quarters, and the sooner this is done the better. It is worth the poultry raiser'a while to remember that an earth floor is tyihealthful when the location is naturally wet and not well drained. With this kind of location it will pay to put in a board floor. ' Take no chances by having too many chickens together in one flock. If you see they are getting to be crowded in their winter quarters, make thrift and health a certainty by dividing them up, or selling some of them. You may have an Idea that poultry can hunt their own grit. You are wrong. Grit is as essential as feed. Get a grit box, fill U with crushed rock and oyster-shell, and hang it on the wall where dirt will not be scratched into it. Farm Journal. Homemade Feed Cntter.

THAJTKSGIVING DAY.

Cniiada'a Day of Thanks a Month. Karller than In the United Statea. For some reason, better known to the Canadians themselves than to the people on this side of the line, our Canadian cousins celebrated their Thanksgiving a month or more ear lier than we do. It may be that the Canadian turkey had become impatient, and sounded a note of warning, or it may be that the "frost on the punkin" declared itself. But whatever the reason, their Thanksgiving day is past. It may have been that the reasons for giving thanks so much earlier than we do were pushing themselves so hard and so fast that the Canadians were ashamed to postpone thfe event. They have had reasons, and good ones, too, for giving thanks. Their great broad areas of prairie land have yielded in abundance and here, by the way, it Is not uninteresting to the friends of the million of Americans who have made their home in Canada during the past few years to know that they have participated most generously in the "cutting of the melon." Probably the western portion of Canada, comprising the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, have the greatest reason of any of the provinces to express in the most enthusiastic manner their gratitude. The results in the line of production give ample reason for devout thanksgiving to Providence. This year has surpassed all others in so far as the total increase In the country's wealth is concerned. There is no question that Providence was especially generous. The weather conditions were perfect, and during the ripening and harvesting period, there was nothing to interfere. And now it was well it was so, for with a demand for labor that could not be supplied, there was the greatest danger, but with suitabla weather the garnering of the grain has been successfully accomplished. There have been low general averages, but these are accounted for by the fact that farmers were indifferent, relying altogether upon what a good soil would do. There will be no more low averages, though, for this year has shown what good, careful farming will do. It will produce 130 million bushels of wheat from seven million acres, and it will produce a splendid lot of oats, yielding anywhere from 50 to 100 bushels per acre. This on land that has cost but from $10 to $15 per acre many farmers have realized sufficient from this year's crop to pay the entire cost of their farms. The Toronto Globe says: "The whole population of the West rejoices in the bounty of Providence, and sends out a message of gratitude and appreciation of the favors which have been bestowed on the country. The cheerfulness, which has abounded with industry during the past six months has not obi iterated the conception of the source frc.ni which the blessings have flown, and the good feeling is combined with a spirit of thankfulness for the privilege of living in bo fruitful a land. The misfortunes of the past are practically forgotten, because there is great cause to contemplate with satisfaction the comforts of the present. Thanksgiving should be a season of unusual enthusiasm.'. llov to Head. Reading is not a lost art to the same degxee that conversation is, but it has In most cases an arrested development through so much reading that makes no demand upon aesthetic sensibility, so that one is. apt to bring to n fine story full of delicate shades of thought and feeling the same mind which he yields to a newspaper, putting a bluat interrogation as to its moaning as conveyed In the terms of a rational proposition, and the writer's charm is wholly lost upon him. While the reader's surrender to the author must be complete, his attitude should not be passive, but that of active responsiveness and partnership. H. M. Alden in Harper's Magazine.
