BIG MONEY.
VIII of a Jersey City millionaire.


The will of Charles G. Sisson, the
Jersey City millionaire, who died at his
home In Tanafy, three weeks ago, has
been submitted to Surrogate McCague,
of Hudson county, for probate. The
will directs the executors to hold ST.
5000 of the property In trust for the
family heirs-his sons Charles G., Jr..
and Elias, and his daughters Eva B.
Browning and Elizabeth B. Sisson.
The executors are to keep $3.50, 900 for
each invested safely, and are to pay to
each one of them, in such manner and
in such amounts as they shall deem
most prudent, the interest of said sum
during his or her natural life. Except
III the case of his son Elias, the children
Of each heir shall have the use of the
share which their parent received until
they become twenty-one years of age,
when the executors are to pay over
the whole sum absolutely. Elias is to
lives, and his children are to en- Joy it
until they become twenty-one years of
>age. Upon their attaining their ma or-
ity the. share of the children by his
present wife is to go to children by q
former marriage, or to children of Elias
BY any other wife than his present wife.
The viii also bequeaths all his house
hold furniture to his daughters Eva and
Elizabeth, and they are to occupy, if
they so desire, his mansion on Jersey
avenue, Jersey City. To his sisters,
Esther Lewis and Lucy A. Bliven, and
to his niece, Lucy A. Jones, he left$250
annuity. 70 his brother Gilbert the
same amount, and as much more as may
be necessary to maintain him is given,
and on his death Gilbert's funeral
expenses are to be paid and
value $50, to be purchased with
moneys drawn from the estate. The
residue of the property is to be kept
and invested by the executors for twenty
years, at the end of which time it is to
be divided equally among his four chill
dren or their families, except that no
part of the residue shall go to the chill
dren of Elias by his present wife. The
will names as executors Lansing Zabris-
kie, son of the late Chancellor. Zabris-
kie; his son-in-law, John Hull Brown
ing; and Augustus A. Hardenburgh, !
cashier Of the Hudson County National
Bank. The compensation, allowed to
the executors for their services is $500
per annum. The reason assigned for
the clause cutting off the. children of
Elias by the lady who is at present his
wife is the fact that Elias married her
very much against his fathers wishes.

HOW LONG TO SLEEP.

The fact is that as life becomes concentra-
TED, and It's pursuits more eager, short sleep
ana early rising become impossible. We
take more sleep than our ancestors, and we
take more because we want more Six hours
sleep will do very we'll for pIowman or q
orickIayer, or any other maA who has no ex-
haustlon but that produced by manual labor;
aud the sooner he takes 1T after his labor is
over the better. But for man whose labor
is mental. the stress Of work is on his brainl
and nervous system; and for him who is
tired in the evening, with day of menta
application, neither arly to bed nor early to
rise is wholesome He needs letting down
to the level of repose. The longer the inter-.
val between the active use of the brain and
his retirement to bed the better his chance
OF sleep and refreshment. To him an hour
after midnight is probab as good as two
hours before it, and even then his sleep will
not so completely and quickly restore him
as it will his neighbor who is physically
tired. he must not only go to bed later,
but lie longer His best sleep probably
lies in the early morning hours. when all the
nervous excitement has passed away, and he.
is in absolute rest.

TO PRESERVE GREEN FODDER.

The farmers of Europe have method oil
preserving green fodder, such as turnip tops.
beet tops, etc., by which it can be KEEP:
good, for six to twelve months. A trench
two to fonr feet is dug in dry spot in the
field, and the tops of the roots, carefully
gathered when free from rain or dew, are
thrown into it. They are very compactly
->-AAond down ana when the pit is filed some
is heaped over the whole. In this manner
this product, which is generally wasted in a
great measure, is utilized
Salt is generally sprlnkied upon the fodder
and aids in its preservation. 1t would be
worth while when our root crops are BEING
gathered to preserve the tops in this way as
al experiment. 1t is notprobable that there
will be any difficulty on account of our colder
climate IN thus preserving for future use
very considerable amount of Winter fodder.
The principal requisites are to pack away the
leaves when dry, to compress them as close
ly as possible, and to cover them so com.
pletely with earth that all access to air is
prevented. 1t is by the exclusion of air that
they are kept from decay.

FARMING.

Many say that farming is a Woodworking
poor paying, but an honest way of getting
living. This is not so. Farming, if carried
on right, entails hard work, yet there il
, money to be made, as many man who hal
made himself rich by farming will testify
, So, boys, don't give up yet but stay on the
DAD farm get good knowledge of farming
before you go out into the world to make a
living. If you wish to farm you cannot
know TOO much about it stay there and try
your experience before you leave.
Many boy thinks he knows more than he
really does, and tries the world on his own
account but many get tired of this and go
back to the place where they first started,
and agree to work on the old farm.
If q boy wishes to make money, let him
take care of what he has, aud save all he can
get This is q fault with some farmers
they do not take care of what they have but
leave their farming tools out through storm
and rain. Every farmer should have house
or shed for his plows, harrows, wagons, hoes,
etc, and after he raises his crops he should
not let the pigs destroy them. The poet
gives us little hint about such things, when
he says: st
