Cadet Grey.

On visit to West Point, General
Scott explained the origin of sscadet
gray During our second war for in
dependence, at the close of June, 1914,
General Scott's headquarters were at
Buffalo. From there he wrote to the
quartermaster for supply of new
clothing for his regulars. Word soon
same back that blue cloth, such as was
used in the army, could not be obtain
ed, owing to the stringency of the
blockade and lack of manufactures IN
the country, but that there was suffi-
cient quantity of gray cloth in Phila-
delphia. Scott ordered it to be made
up for his soldiers, and IN these new
gray suits they marched down to Mag
ara, on Canada soil, July 4th. Be
heving them to be only Buffalo militia
celebrating Independence Day, the
British commander, Rally regarded
them with contempt, which changed to
respect next day in the battle of Chip
pewa. Because of the victory won
chiefly by them on that field, and in
honor of Scott and his troops, that style
of cloth was adopted at the military
Academy as the uniform of the cadets,
and has been so used ever since.

4 Successful HOiv Woman.
From the New York Home Journal.


A novelty in feminine enterprise has
attracted much attention among the
petroleum oil dealers here. A New
York lady, the wife of Mr. John Hope,
who had been operating in the oil re-
gions the past three years, while visit
ing Titusville and the wells through
the country, was presented with lease
to put down '"ladies' WE'LL The
liberal doner is Mr.. James S. McCray,
owner of one of the most prolific farms
in the oil regions. The only terms and
conditions are that it must be entirely
a ladies enterprise-no gentlemen to
be interested. Mr.. McCray is the hap
py recipient of $1,000 day income
from his wells at Petroleum Center.
Mrs. Hope contracted for engine
house, derrick, and all needed carpen-
ter work; purchased the engine, cas-
ing, and other machinery; employed
drillers, engineers and other workmen
to "run the well"
Mrs. Hoppe associated with her own
the capital of some lady partners, and
successfully finished the work on the
1st of December. 1t is now pumping
150 barrels of oil a day At prices,
this investment yields $500 every TWEEN
ty-four hours. After paying royalty to
the wife of the landowner Gor whom
the well is named "Lady McCray'D) },
and current expenses, the fair capita
lists are realizing handsome income
on their enterprise. This well is $50
feet deep, and the third, or sand rock,
is AZ feet thick. With spring and mod
crate weather, another well will prob
ably be drilled under the same super
vision, on this lease, and it is hoped
with an equally favorable result.

Crops for Clay Lands.
The Country Gentleman saws ::

The Country Gentleman says:
In all sections adapted to the crop,
probably wheat is the best grain crop
to grow on clay lands. The strong,
well prepared, and well worked clay
loans, are among the best and most
productive wheat soils; and few clays
are SO stubborn that understanding,
growing clover and thorough cultiva-
tion will not bring them into more OF
less pliable loan. Summer fallowing
for wheat also affords better opportu-
nifty to work such soils to the best adj
vantage, as the best time to plow, when
they will work up fine and mellow, may
be selected. The after cultivation and
preparation for the seed, by having a
much longer time than is possible for
spring crops, may also be done to bet
ter advantage Winter wheat is also a
good crop to seed clover with and af
ter such land is drained, two or three
alternate crops of wheat and clover
should bring the soil into good condi-
ton for more cereal crops.
Oats also do well on clay land, and
often give large yields but the ten
dency of the crop is rather to make the
land harder than otherwise. Perhaps
fall blowing for the crop, and leaving
the land in condition to be benefited
by freezing-s surface drainage having
been well attended to-may be an ex-
ception at least it is probable that this
is the best way to grow oats on clay
soils: Heavy clay soils are not adapted
to corn; but good deal of good corn
is grown on the clay loans. There are
also many Of the heavier clay lands
that, by understanding and clovering,
may be reduced to loan that will not
be bad for corn It must be pretty
stiff clay hat, after thorough draining
and growing few crops of clover, with
good vigorous clover sod turned un-
der in May and thoroubhly prepared, !,
will not be in condition to grow good
corn. AS rule, and in sections suited
to the crop, barley will answer where
corn does well. If the land works mel
low and don't bake badly, and the clo-
yer sod turned under for corn turns up
dark rich mould the next spring, bar
ley sown on this preparation ought to
do we'll

A Slight Mistake.

An old lady, but little acquainted
with the ways of the worlo, went into
one of the drug stores in East Bridge
port, Ct, the other day, and asked for
a dose Of castor oil, at the same time
inquiring the best method of tking it.
The proprietor informed her that soda
water was one Of the best methods
known to the profession, and the old
lady appeared satisfied with the infor
nation. Supposing, of course, that
she desired to take the dose herself, he
prepared it by putting the oil in a tum-
bier and filling it with soda from one
of the most approved fountains,
and then handing her the glass she
drank il with a zest that showed she
liked it, After drinking, she quietly
took seat by the counter and waited.
The proprietor, noticing that she con-
tinued her stay long time, inquired
what more he could do for her. 81 am
waiting for me dose of ile," she replied.
'oWhy,n said he, F'you have taken it in
the soda water, already" ooh dear, "
says she, 'the lie wasn't for me, it was
for somebody else" She was not lit
tie frightened, and after being assured
there was no danger of it's killing her,
another dose was dispensed, and taking
the bottle in her hand and cramming it
quickly into her pocket, she left, in
wardly exclaiming: .'Oh, dear, what
a careless set of fellows the pill-makers
are; suppose it had been pisen, it
would have killed me, shure. " ..-.

The report, published few days
ago. of the discovery of delinquencles
on the part of some of the officers of
our national banks, appears to have
had foundation in fact, and yesterday
all mystery was dispelled. There are
two cases, one in the Webster National
Bark and the other in the North Ma
tional Bank. The defaulter in the first
case is Ellery c. Daniel, the cashier
and discount clerk, and the amount of
money taken about $4,000. He began
te abstract funds few years ago to
cover losses In speculation, and has
continued the practics since as occasion
demanded, but owing to his skill as an
accountant and his double position In
the bank was enabled to avoid detec-
ton. A short time ago, Mr.. Ransom,
United States bank examiner, and Mr..
J. J. Eddy, his assistant, made their
usual examination Of the bank, antlc~
ipating the time few days. This un-
expected visit, and the searching in
.vestigation which was made, combined
to show that there was deficit, and
when the charge was made Mr.. Daniell
admitted that the funds of the bank
were not intact It is stated that one
method adopted by Mr.. Daniel to CO
yer up loss was to write letter TO
the corresponding bank in New York,
stating that such funds had that day
been remitted to them for the account
of the Webster National Bank. The
letter was duly copied, but the original
was never sent. The outside coverings
of notes which had been left for collec
tion were altered, and the dates carried
forward, aud in one or two instances
amounts passed in on notes left for col
ectton were not credited to the accounts
of the depssitors, and were used as
funds on hand. thus deceiying the ex-
aminers and directors.
The delinquency is said to have been
occasioned by unsuccessful speculation
about four years ago, when, in the hope
Of retrieving losses, or to meet pressing
obligations which would entail losses
if unfulflled, the money of the bank
was temporarily diverted.
The other case is deficit in the ac
counts of the receiving teller of the
North National Bank, Mr.. Henry W.
Pitman, amounting to about S.. 900.
Mr.. Pitman has made full acknowledge
ment of his delinquency"

Idlewild is the romantic name of
the mammoth cave discovered about
one year ago at White Pine, Nevada,
and which has within the last few days
been partially explored by party of
five gentlemen-P. A. Wagner, DR..
Robinson, W. P. Taylor, Colonel Rob
inson and G. Jackson. The cave is
situated near the north end of Blue
Hill, short distance west of the
Truckee mine, and first came into no
tice by the bottom of the shaft then
being sunk in the Idlewild mine " drop
ping out" The party was lowered down
this shaft thirty feet to the entrance of
steep incline nearly three hundred
feet in length, formed by the hand of
nature
On each side of this incline are large
vaulted chambers, from fifteen to thirty
feet in length and width, and about
twenty feet in height-the roofs and
walls hung with stalactits of beautiful
colors and fantastic forms-the arches
in the chambers being composed of
large masses of them. The entrance
TO tie incline from the shaft is small
sufficient only to admit the passage of
an ordinary sized man crawling through
the opening At the termination of the
incline is an immense chamber which
could only be judged of by the eye-the
entrance being choked up by large
boulder Enough was seen to know
that it's size was much larger than any
yet explored. There is strong draught
downward from the entrance, showing
that there must be another opening far
down in the bowels of the earth to some
unknown region, OF else, that a living
stream of water flows underneath. The
only living thing seen in these silent
vaults was bat fitting through the
chambers White Pine D0i{y NoeOS.

Particulars of the Wreck of the Freno.,

Sir Harry Verney has received from
a gentleman laboring in France in con-

of the French sick and wounded. few
particulars concerning the loss of the lie

wrecked on the rocks off Cape de La

Z On board lie Cert we're 1,080. French
wounded and convalescehts, and d crew
of $50 men, Of the latter ten saved
themselves on spars, etc. The letter is
dated Calais, Saturday last, and says
In the fate Of this ship we are all
most deeply interested, as it contained
1,090 wounded soldiers, marines and
sailors all of whom had been cared for
bydifferent members Of the National So
ciety for the Relief of Sick and Wound
ed. They had been sent to Calais from
various parts of the north of France
for enlbarkation, their destination
being Cherbourg, Brest and Bordeaux,
from which place they would be sent
on to their homes Many of them
were the sons of gentlemen They all
arrived here without q sou in their
pockets, clothes in rags, and were bill
leted on the poorest people in Calais
and the fishing villages, at whose
houses they slept, and had to seek their
food at the casernes twice a day;
piece of dry bread and little greasy
water called soup was given them,
and there never was enou gh.
Thus these poor starved soldiers, who
had suffered almost a martyrdom for
their country, were to be seen daily
wandering about the streets, faint,
weary, cold and hungry. The French
Societe pour Secours aux Blesses gave
them meal on their first arrival
nothing more. The wounded men on
board the Ill -fated Cert were each and
all delighted to tell of the noble gifts
that had been sent them from England.
At Metz, directly after the capitulation,
the first food they had was from Eng
land, and how many lives have been
saved III consequence!
Hundreds were ON board who had
been wounded at Villers Bretonneux
and Amiens on the Goth and 9th of
November these had been cared for
entirely by the English from the Gay
of the battle until the last day of their
departure, and each carried with him
some substantial proof of England's
sympathy for France in her hour of
need. Saturday and Sunday, as they
were departing, they came by dozens
to thank their nurses. Others were

Washington Telegraph Correspondents.

A Washington correspondent of the
New York Nation says:
"Of the political features, one of the
most striking is the representatives OF
the public press, not the newspapers
themselves, but the individuals who
conduct the telegraphic correspond
ence. If person writes letter to
one of the papers in the great cities,
this letter is subject to revision by the
editor, and may be altered or rejected
entirely. But the telegraphic matter is
sent off. at midnight to appear in the
morning paper. 1t is paid for by the
word, and cannot therefore be wasted.
It occupies the most prominent place,
and is read by everybody. ~ The result
is that there is not member OF either
House of Congress who does not stand
in positive awe of the 20 or 80 young
men in the reporters gallery. 1t is
amusing to see the respect with which
men, having lively sense OF their own
| Importance, return the salutatlons or
receive the advances of others much
their interiors in age and station. AS
to the men who fill this important posi-
ton, they seem to be generally OF falr
character and capacity, aiming to furn-
ish news without the coloring of per-
sonal impressions, but they cannot OF
course be wholly impersonal; and it
excites singular reflections to see the
channel of information to the country
represented, in the case of one of on
largest commercial journals, by boy
ish youth, with the appearance of a re
tail dry goods clerk, and conversation
indicating an education and habit o.
mind by no means Puritanic.
