Frank James on Train Robberies.

. Frank James, brother of Jesse James, the famous train robber and desperado, Is now engaged in the peaceful occupation of a ticket taker in a St. Louis theater. He was one of the '‘James boys," for whose apprehension $30,000 reward was offered, but now he is a quiet, peaceable citizen, with only a restless gray eye ito suggest the possession of'daring' and courage. Every nfcht he is to be found in the doorway of the Standard Theater. St. Louis. Frank James can - with difficulty be Induced to talk of his former life. A’ few days since, however, he read the report of a train robbery near San Francisco. He thinks such outrages can be stopped only by vigorous work on the part of the railway companies, and said: “When, a man engages in the train robbing business he is badly in need of money, and will take desperate chances to secure it. "lam opposed to train robbery, nnd the only way it will be stopped is td have armed guards on each train. Two or three would be sufficient, but they should be well armed and 1 encased in a steel cage of some kind. The ear should have port holes, through which the guards could command a view of the outside. _ •"One floint they should keep in view, and thatt is the space between the engine and the eipress car. This point should be watched, .because robbers co bld' uncbttple 'thfc' eipress car from the rest of 'the-train and with the engine pull it Several miles down the track, and with'dViiamite blow everything up. “The second and main reason is that the robbers would be awa re of Ihe guards’ presence in the car, and if they could get to the couplings of the car, all they would have to do would be to pull the engine away from the train lor a short distance, reverse the lever and come back against the train wit!) such force that the express car would be demolished and the guards* killed. Until these ideas are carried out, the robbers will continue to think that train robbery is a science." Jesse James, Jr., the son of the notorious outlaw. is now 20 years of age, and is employed by the Armour Packing Company at Kansas City. He lives there with his mother, Mrs, Zereida James.—New York Journal.

THINGS PERTAINING TO THE FARM AND HOME. Poultry and Egg Production Is Prof-itable-Influence of the European Wheat Crop—Working Horace Should Not Be Fed Grass—Form Notes. .. . . I Profit in Chickens. But few realize how profitable poultry and egg production can be made, provided as much time and attention is given to it as to many other less important vocations. Some one has decided that a hen can be kept for less than fifty cents a year, says Nellie Hawks in the Agriculturist It is a poor specimen of a hen that will not lay ten dozen eggs a year. At the low price of 10 cents, a dozen, this would leave a net profit, bf 50 cents. At this rate it will pay every farmer to keep a flock of hens and give them prober care. There is no danger of overproduction. As long as the United States annually imports millions of dozen of eggs, the market will not be glutted. Fowls to be profitable must be given proper attention. Those running at large will almost take care of themseuves for a part -Of the, year. They are our gleaners and economizers, for they evej-y day convert into eggs what would otherwise go to waste. However, fowls in confinement need different treatment. Meat food must be supplied. The most satisfactory means of providing this is to secure a green bone mill and give tlieflj green-cut bone. This meat food, or at least sort of a similar food, is almost . absolute necessity for yarded fowls. Tender green stuff is alsojvaluable. Last fall I sowed a patch of. ity# for early spring "groups.” Early, this season a patch of oats was put into furnish "green food after the rye had become tpo far advanced. Early each morning and every evening a basket of green stuff was eut with a pair bf shears and given to them. The results have been most satisfactory. We have had lots of fertile eggs, and nice, thrifty, healthy fowls. It pays to raise chickens a d to attend to their wants and needs. So far as this country alone is concerned the wheat situation would not justify the extremely low range of values which has been the rule of late. The w’iu>ter- vvheat-~croix-is certainly short, and the spring crop is not likely to be a large one on account of the reduced acreage. But in Europe the conditions are quite different, the outlook being very favorable'for a good yield. We must remember, too, that in wheat production Europe means a good deal more than it once did. Even France has increased its production of Wheh't of late years, while Russia is an enormous exporter as compared with five or ten years ago. Evidently the abundance of wheat abroad, as reflected in our ligh t ex por t Trade, Is the chief influence which is keeping wheat prices in this country close to the low water mark.

No Grass tor Working Horses. It is a great temptation to cut some grass, to feed either green or partly dried to the horses that have to work hard every day on the farm. It should be resisted, for grass will surely induce derangement in the digestive organs, which will make tile horses too weak to do effective work. After the plowing is finished many farmers think, the hardest work is over, but a hbrse cultivating all day will need good dry hay and grain no less than when plowing. The step is quicker in cultivating than lit plowing, and requires quite as much muscular exertion to keep at it all day.

Late Pens for Home Use. There i,s not generally a very good mirket for late peas, because after the first new peas have satisfied tlie appetites of lovers of this vegetable tlie price rapidly declines and it will not pay to grow and market it. But a fresh succession of peas until fall Is very desirable, and It- is easily in the power of every farmer to secure it by later plantings. The farmer ought always to have fresher vegetables and a longer season for them than the average city resident- can expect. It is one of the advantages of country life that lie should not only not forego butmake the most of. It. is hard work providing throe palatable meal* through the summer for mon at work on the farm. A plentiful supply of green peas will furnish food that is not only palatable but nutritious.

Storing Applvs in Boxes. Square boxes with open tops and separated by cleats nailed across tj»e corners so as to allow air to Circulate olver them are better than barrels tfi store apples in. We saw some recently in the fruit cellar of Dr. Fisher, of Fitchburg. The apples are put in these boxes In tlie orchard, loaded into wagons. and are then drawn to tlie cellar, where they are 'piled one above the other, nearly to the ceiling. The boies are made to hold a full bushel each, and can be easily handled without disturbing the iruit. There is great injury to fruit even from the most careful'handling. When tlie bloom is off. it can never l>e exactly what it was before. The square boxes take less room than the .samequantity of nppies would in barrels, and are inucli better than if pur in bins, where rhe natural heating of the ..ppples p!lt>d one upon tfle otlier indtiees rot. which once start)' ed quickly spreads. The boxes are made bt solid boanls, apd are therefore heavier as well as more costly that) the Imxes used In harvestiug potatoes.—Cultivator:

Hnrsetcia Cnrrinj;<;a Not Vet Uaeful. We once knew a’ man who worked for many years trying to solve the problem of perpetual motion, and he finally completed a machine that would run down hill. Those who have been working on horseless carriages seem to have met with a little better* success, for their ufaeTi'ines ■drill run down hill and on the level, but on the up grade they are useless. A recent test In New York showed conclusively that these machines are not yet adapted to road work, as they cannot climb even moderate grades without the assistance of horses. There has been great Improvement In them., however, and they may in time be further Improved so as to be useful. But It does not seem likely that they will soon be

made so good or so cheap as to displace horses, and the horse breeders who now _go ahead as If they had never heard of a horseless carriage will probably not regret it.—Exchange.

Pigs, Not Hns«, Wanted, Almost everybody now agrees with the little girl who said that clean little pigs are nice, but it .was such a pity they would go and make hogs of themselves. Nrfbody nowadays wants the large hogs even for'pork. As the hog is fattened largely on corn bis fliges- ■ tion is injured, and the body becomes feverish and unhealthful.' This, of bourse, affects not only- the palatableness, but the healthfulness of the pork that the animal makes. Pig pork Is more generally fattened in a reasonable way, feeding so as to keep the pig growing and its digestion good. For this reason pig pork is generally sweeter and more tender than pork from older hogs. But let a pig be stunted on corn feed, so that it fattens without growing, and its flesh though fat will lack the fine flavor that the'flesh of a thirstily growing pig ought to Then and Nott. lii an interesting artiCle’Mr. Ingham concludes that farmers, might succeed as well as they difl forty years ago if they would bo content to live as plainly as they did then. We do not like the idea of farmers living as they lived forty years ago. Comparison should not be made that way, but between farmers and other classes of people then and n<yA*; ! ' We' presume that, forty years' ago farmers lived as well as did other people of the same resources, and they should now. The luxuries of those days are the necessities and comforts of to-day. Farmers as a class do not and should not deny themselves these things, qnd when it is necessary for them to do so to a greater extent than those .engaged in other industries something is decidedly wrong. .Strict economy is now a necessity with a great many farmers, and other people, too, but it does not and should not extern} to the plainness of forty years ago. —Farmer and Stockman. What Kind Of a Man Are You? We were recently shown somh replies from local banks received by a. large manufacturing house that was inquiring into the condition of farmers’ Some of the comment carried with it a world of suggestion, as will be seen by these extracts: farmer.” “A goofl man, makes money.”, “These are all successful farmers.” “Substantiial man, interested in all that advances the community.’ “These men all make money every year and could name 100 others who do the same,” says a report from Warrenton. Ga. “This man never renewed a note.” “He has a fine looking place, but heavily mortgaged, is a good deal of a blow.” “This farmer's word is as good as his bond.” Which of such opinions would be expressed about you?—Farm and Home. Poultry Remedies. A farmer's wife gives the following remedies for the worst troubles the poultry has to contend with—cholera, roup, lice and diarrhoea: Plenty of room, healthy food, and at first sight of disease, for choler.a, give one teaspoonful of carbolic acid in a gallon of water; diarhoea, one teaspoonful of tincture of Jamaica ginger in a gallon of water; for lice, one teaspoonful of siflphur in four quarts feed or mash; for roup, mix borasie acid with water .so that it can be poured down the throat, give teaspoonful, and they will -be • cured. - ■ 1 * Tlie Best Soil for l Rhubarb. It requires high manuring to make rhubarb growing profitable, especially as most of the money to be made is from the very early cutting, and these must be grown on warm, sandy land, which is not generally very rich. The plant is a great consumer of nitrogen, and this is not supplied early in the season by coarse manure. Either the manure applied must be well rotted, so that it will have available nitrates, of these must be applied in the form of commercial fertilizers. The rhubarb is easily grown with coarse stable manure, but its price is always very low. Well-Balanced Ration. About one-fdurth sheaf oats run through the eUtter with the fodder makes an excellently-balanced ration., and will make the latter keep better in bulk when cut a little green, and solve the problem of early gathering, say* Western Plowman. In the spring this feed can be wetted and mixed with bran, and makes a feed equal to ensilage. Odds and Ends. White spots upon tarnished furniture will disappear If a hot plate be held over them. Half a pound of broiled beefsteak twice a day is the best tonic fornervous .or rundown women. A hot bath taken on .going to bed, even on a hot night,of summer, is a better cure for insomnia than many drugs. A little powdered btJrax added to cold starch tends to give the linen extra stiffness, and a little turpentine put into the boiled starch adds luster. If an. upper pie-crust is brushed over with a little milk of egg before placing in the oven it will brown quickly and have a better color. , A handful of .carpet tacks will clean fruit jars or bottles readily. Half till the jars with hot soap studs, put In the tacks, cover, give vlgoious shaking and rinse well. 1 ’ y 5 Tlie correct way to drain a wet unibrella’ls to stand It handle down. If put the other, way the dampness remains in the center, where all the water collects and very soon rots the covering. A raw egg swallowed immediately will generally carry a fish bone down which cannot be removed from the throat by tluMitmost exertion and has gotten out of reach of the saving fin-” ger. Some people suffer very much from their eyes when peeling onions. It is said that if a steel knitting-needle is held between the teeth during the operation this discomfort wlll.cOase or be very much reduced. ’ *A heavy flatiron, weighing seven or eight pounds, will do better work if it is passed over the clothes once with a firm, steady pressure than a lighter Iron hurriedly passed over the clothes two or three times.

GOOD ROADS

Keeps the Roads Smooth. The smoothness of European roads is due in great measure to the use of wide tires. In France every wagon and market tart is a road maker. The width of the tires there runs from three to ten inches, most four-wheeled vehicles having a srix-ineh rim, and a rear axle several inches longer than the front axle. In Germany, where the main roads are models of smoothness, every,wagon for heavy loads must have at least a four-inch tire. Even the light vehicles are required to use tires not less thap two and one-half inches wide. The laws of Austria require wagons, ■built to carry loads of more than two and one-quarter tons. to have tires not less than four and one-half inches wide, and if the wagons are intended for loads of more than three and one-halt' tons the tires must be six and onequarter inches wide. In*'Switzerland the width,must not be less than one inchjto each draughCanimal. Wagons •for fhd transportation of articles must have tires of not less‘‘than six inches,—St. Louis Republic. :

The Public Highways. The question of good roads is pressing itself more and more on the attention of the public. During the past few weeks there have been no less than three conventions held to consider this matter—a State Convention at Richmond, Va., a State convention at Columbia, S. C., and the National Road Congress which assembled in Atlanta. The subject of good roads appeals to the whole public. At tlie north and wherever there is a large population the question is a very simnlo .one—inexulx. a matter of organization and enthusiasm. But where the poptilirtlbn is sparse the question is surrounded by immense and almost insurmountable difficulties unless public opinion can be prevailed on to perceive—and that clearly—that the interests of the State are involved. It is an easy matter for some counties, to make permanent improvements, but in counties’where the population is sparse and where there is no considerable aggregation of capital, the question bf good roads takes the shape of a very seripus and difficult problem. • So that while some communities have the means to carry On permanent road Improvements from year to year, other communities, less fortunate in that respect, will be compelled to let matters run on pretty much as they have been running, unless, indeed, public sentiment so crystallizes as to, compel legislation on the subject. Just when and how this is to be brought about it would be difficult to say. The public highways have bilm neglected for so many years—or woJ.se than neglected under our deplorably bad system—that bad roads have eome to be regarded as a necessary evil. The cost that they entail on the public and the losses that are sustained- by both producers and buyers, are beyond computation. As this cost and these losses fall on the public at large, irrespective of county boundaries, trades or profession, the question would seem to invite general legislation for the benefit of the whole State.

If the improvements that are necessary were to be mhde at once the question would be settled in the negative. It would be out of the power of the people to engage in the affair. But it is not necessary. In this respect the people, if they move in the matterat all, will have to follow the example of other countries and other communitit's. They will have to go slow, in order not only to keep down the average of taxation, but to give a solid and a permanent character to the work that is done. Slow and sure is not a bad motto in any enterprise or in any line of business, and it is especially applicable to the matter of road improvement. A mile of permanent roadway built every year would, in the course of time, give a splendid system of public roads, and would nearly double the value of the taxable property of the State, to say nothing of the money that would be saved to the producers as well os to the consumers. This question, like all other questions of public importance, lias Its ramifications, and in one way and another, it affects the Interests of every man. woman and child in the State. In spite of this—or, perhaps, by reason of it—it is a very difficult problem to solve.. If it is ever solved the solution must necessarily be the result of State legislation; and this is a very delicate matter. There is one reform, lioWtever, in regard to Wlch public sentiment is rapidly crystallizing, and has to do with the road question it jnay be briefly referred to here. It is the belief on the part of the people of all classes that it would be better for the State convicts to lie set to work improving the roads than to hire, them out to compete with ffee labor. This reform lit now ready to seize upon the Legislature and make itself heard.

Cheapest Postage.

The popular idea, even among well informed person#, is that Japan lias the cheapest postal system in the world; a letter can be conveyed to any part of that kingdom fpr 2 sene equivalent to about three-fifths of an American cent. In reality, however, the Indian empire takes the palm for cheapness. Post cards there cost 1 farthing each, letters are sent for 1 halfpenny 1 each, newspapers up to an ounce and a quarter in weight for one-eighth of a penny and Itooks and patterns 3 farthings for four ounces, or threepence per pound. Talk about some men being poor at relating anecdotes; did you ever he-ar a woman try? Girls, there-, are few men worth the attention and hard, work necessary to Batch them. „

HEALTH IN OLD AGE.

A Reporter’s Interesting Interview with a Lady of Seventy-two Tears, Who Tells a Marvelous [Story. _ From the Union, Port Jervh.'. N. Y. j But a short time ago,-in a distant’partof the country, we heard of a cure by th® use“of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, which seemed almost marvelous, aigl more recently another,, substantial evidence of their value reached our ears. Being of an inquiring turn of mind. and wishing to know just how much there was in the story, a reporter was sent to interview the person said to be thus benefited. If the narrative as it had reached our ears was true, it was only simple justice to let it be known—if it proved untrue, it would be well to knqw it. The person alluded to above as having been thus greatly benefited by the use of Pink Pills is Mrs. .lane Hotalen. of Hainesville. N. J., a pleasant hamlet in Sussex County,, about fifteen miles from this office. The reporter had no difficulty in finding Mrs. Hotalen. It was nearly noon when we reached her pleasant home, a double house, one part of which is occupied by her son. She is.a pleasant-faced old lady, lookirtgtO/be about siXty-live, but is in reality seventytwo years of age. After a few preliminary remarks in explanation of, the call, she was asked if she had any objection to giving us the details "of the case and how she* ca'me to try this now famous remedy. • . “Not at all,” said she. “If my experience can be of any good to others, I’am sure they are welcome to it—it can ddaue no harm.” “When were you taken sick and what was the nature of the malady?” was asked. "It was about two years ago. The trouble was rheumatic in character—sciatica. they called it—and it was very painful indeed. The difficulty began in my hip and extended the whole length of the limb, crippling me completely. ’ I_ suffered intensely from it, and the ordinary treatment gave me not the slightest alleviation. I was under treatment about a month asstated, but grew worse instead of better, and was fast becoming discouraged.” “What brought Pink Pills to your notice?”-;;- <-> “.My son called my attention to an article in a paper, in which it was stated that_ a Mr. Struble, of Branchville, a village in this county, had been greatly benefited by their use. and suggested that it would be a good plan to try them. But I was skeptical in regard to their value—in fact, I had no 1 confidence in their efficacy and rather laughed at the suggestion. But the trouble increased and I was badly crippled. A few days later my son was about to vjgit a neighboring town and suggested again that it might be well to try this much-talked-of remedy, and I then He bought me a box of them and I began taking them at once. At the end of a week I noted a marked iffiprovement, and by the time I had taken the first box I was able to wall!'without a cane. I continued their use, taking several boxes, and am, as you see, in a very comfortable state of health.” “Have you had any return of the trouble?!’.-, . , , ■. . “Not as yet, though at my time of life, seventy-two, it would not be surprising if 1 should have. If it comes, I’should at once begin the use of the pills. I suppose I inherit a tendency to troubles of this kind—my mother died from them.” “Did you ever note any ill effects from the use of Pink Pills?” “None whatever. They never disturbed my stomach in any way or caused me any annoyance. Neither did I find it necessary to increase the dose, as the directions say may be desirable. lam able, as you see, to attend to my own work.” The reporter thanked Mrs. Hotalen for her courtesy and ba.de good day. It is not often that one can witness such a complete recovery from such a pertinacious trouble at such an advanced age, and sflch instances cannot fail th produce a profound impression. Readers of the Union may rely on the absolute accuracy of all the statements here given—nothing has been exaggerated, nothing withheld. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain, in a condensed form, all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are an unfailing specific for all forms of weakness either in male or female, and all diseases resulting from vitiated humors in the blood. Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent post paid sn receipt of price, 50 cents a box. or six boxes for $2.50, by addressing Dr. Williams’ MedjcineCp.,Schenectady. N. Y. ■’

A Test of Honesty.

The highly respected French simpleton, Monsieur Calino, discovered the other day that he had left his umbrella somewhere. Ae he had visited three stores, he knew it must be in one of them. So he started back and visited all three in turn. “It has not been found here,” he was told in the first store, and Monsieur Calino shrugged his shoulders a little and went out. At the next store the same response was made. Monsieur Calino shrugged his shoulders still higher, and went to the third store. There the umbrella was waiting, and was promptly turned over to him. “Well,” he exclaimed with satisfaction, “I must say that you are more honest than they are at those other stores'.”

A Hen’s Nest in a Willow.

It.is pleasant to thirik that the lower animals have - their individual traits,, not less than m®n, and can be n« “queer” as the queerest of specimens. 'Such an instance of originalityis recordeA-fiY Ihe San Francisco Examiner, the subject of the story be-' ing a domestic hen, owned by a Mr. Landgraff of that city. Some weeks ago, as it appears, the hen—a fierce and quarrelsome bodyleft the roost provided for her and her associates, and took up her quarters among the branches of a willow ip her master's back yard. There she soon began getting together materials for a nest,- which she built securely in the crotch of two branches. After a proper time had elapsed— the family, in the meantime, having obr seryed iler strange maiioeuvcrs with much interest —Mr. LandgrafFs man • climbed into the tree in a temporary absence of the hen. There in the nest were about a dozen chickens. While the man was looking a£;theni the mother returned, and, as the Examiner says, “made things interesting” for him. In fact she flew about fiis head so industriously that in his hurried retreat he toppleel over the step ladder and came to the groutfd with painful suddenness. At last advices the mother hen was still feeding her chicks in the nest, while the family and neighbors were waiting to see how she would contrive to get them tothe ground when such a proceeding became necessary.
