children AMI husbandz Mr. Parton tell the fol-
lowing story Of General Jackson's wife:
When Gen. Jackson was a candidate for the
Presidency in 1923, not only did the party opposed
to him abuse him for his public acts which If un-
constitutional or violent, ware legitimate subject
of reprobaticn hut they detained the character of
lis wife. On cae occasion newspaper published
in Nashville was laid upon the Generals table.
He glanced over T. and his eye fell upon an article
in which the character os AIrs, Jackson was Yio-

gate Of the yard Of the Hermitage, 10y which the
General would have to pass. She had not been

JAPANESE FRuiT.-The Buffalo EyDrsss has been
shown by gentleman who has lately returned
from visit to Washington, Japanese lemon, OBJ
tanned by him from one of the members of the
Embassy, which is a most astonishing specimen of
mammoth fruit. i, weighs three pounds, and
measures in circumference eighteen inches in one
direction and fourteen in the other It las much

color, but looks and 7me5 nnci. more fIuitY, rich
and tempting. 1t is said that this is quite a med.
um sized specimen of the fruit, they raise it by
forced culture in that singular corntry-that they
sometimes produced them OF the weight of seven
pounds. In artificial fruit and floral culture the
Japanese undoubtedly surpass every other people
in the world. They have singular passion for
these arts, and have carried them to curious Der
fecton, apparently subjecting nature to entire obe
dience to Their wills and wishes They enlarge
and dwarf he: productions, almost ut pleasure.
Among the curiosties brought by the Embassy,
we're fully maturei fruit bearing apple and pear
trees, in little boxes of earh only three and four

iiAT atAKIxG.-A, the season Ter making hay is

Don't dry your hay TOO much. Hay may be d-ied

WIND " WseoSs.-Some time ago we mentioned
that Mr. Andy Dawson, of Oscal0oss. was con-
ssructing wind wagon. in which he intended to go
TO Pixies Peak Since that time, the machine has
been finished, AMI realized the most sangline ex-
pectaton of the protector, carrying him through, in
twenty days. Encouraged by this success, other
parties in the same town set about the construction
of the same kind of wagons, and on Monday a
party of eight started out the praries to try
which had just been finished The wind was blow
ing gale at the time, and everything worked to
charm. The occupants, gliding swiftly over the
prairies, were delightng themselves with antcipa-
tons of speedy and comfortable trip to The mines
when tho velocity OF the vehicle created lively
alarm for their safety. The wagon sped onward
before the driving wind, faster and faster yet until
the axeltrees broke and deposited them all upon
the ground, and in somewhat damaged condition,
from broken heads, bruised limbs and bodies. The
speed of the machine is said to have been fsrty
miles per hour. We suggest the use of brakes =

Havat you got hands and feet, and body

don't you call them capital ? What more

they are more than money. If you will

Is time you we're learning. Take hold OF

Your capital will soon yield you large

don't want TO work you want money or
credit, that you may play the gentleme n
