THE VANDERBILT CASE

is still dragging along. The proceedings
have been enlivened this week by the pres
enco of Cornelius, Jr., on the stand. He
swears in the most direct manner to a
conspiracy organized and engineered by
his brother William, to destroy the conf
dcnce of the old man in him, and to break
him down. He swears that William con-
spired to get him into II lunatic asylum,
and 10 do it, represented to him that he
had forged his name to cheque besides
other acts of similar nature. The coun-
sci Tor William squirmed terribly, and
William was much agitated while Corne-
Illus was on the stand, for it was evident to
them that there was some foundation at
least in the charges made by Scott Lord at
the opening of the ease, and that the pub
lie would he made TO believe them. And
then thay dread what is to follow. II
Cornelius can substantiate the fact that
William employed man to personato him
in disreputable places, there is no ques.
ton as to the fate of the will. 1t will b.
broken certainly. | hope it may be, fol-
one hundred million dollars is too much
for enc man to hold.

never was permitted to exist. 1t was rot
ten with fraud, honey -combed with per-
Jury and worm eaten With imbecility and
Encouragement 1t was sink into which
the peoples money went, the president
and directors each holding his sack at the
outlet. 1t will teach these swindlers II
lesson that will be remembered. There
are others to follow, and justice cannot
get on their tracks too soon.

many others. Whyi believe not, be-
cause our farmers cannot afford a few

zone half the world doesn't know how
the other half lives"-so saith the vulgar
proverb. But one thing all the world
may know, and that is the independent
farmers of America may live as we'll, if
they know how, as any other people on
the globe. We are not sure that our ru-
raj population in view of health and en-
joyment, pay enough attention to the art
of Giving" They may have at hand on
the cheapest terms, and in the richest
profusion, all the elements of diet and
feasting, but to use these without abuse
is an art which every housekeeper ought
to study in allegiance to sanitary consider
atoms. We venture to say that in the
progress of time this important matter
has received less degree of attention
than has been bestowed on any other
branch of home economy. AS rule, it
may be said, country housekeepers pay
less regard to the variety, quality, the
health giving and appetizing properties
of their table supplies than do their Sis
tiers of other professions. Every farmer
may, within few years, provide his
household with the entire round of fruits
and vegetables which the climate allows,
and with profusinn OF milk, butter,
poultry, animal meats, etc. But it is not
enough to have these good things; it is
necessary to know how to use them well
and wisely. 1t may be short-sighted to
stint his family in generous living in Or
der that his purse may become plethoric,
as it would undeniably be mean to deny
them all they can nationally enjoy of
books and schools. 1t is not the most ex
pensive living that is most enjoyable; but
it is due attention to culinary preparation
and domestic art that we invoke. No
special rules can be laid down in these
matters, for the situation, the tastes and
wants of individual families should be
consulted. We allude to the subject as
to one which has hitherto attracted but
little attention, and which is by no means
the least worthy of strict regard. In
fact, the way people live has powerful
influence on their elevation or degrade
ton as civilized beings.

A HUNGARIAN officer recently expert
mented at Pesth with an apparatus de-
signed to enable a horse to cross river
without sinking. The officer mounted
his steed on the Buda side of the Danube,
and actually accomplished the feat of
swimming the river on horseback at its
broadest part, with rapid current running
He kept the horses head up splendidly
while crossing, which occupied about
twenty minutes. The military men pres
ent were pleased with the invention.

Birdie BLINDs.-We never could see
what vice or deformity lay in Il horses
eye that should make it necessary to
cover it up and shut out its owner from
at least two thirds of his rightful field of
vision. The poets say that old age looks
backward, but we never heard of such an
idiosyncrasy charged upon horses. The
theory that horse is less apt to be
frightened when shut out from every
thing behind him we suspect to be a fall
lacy, else saddle-horses and warehouses
would be duly blinded. Every horse is
as familiar with his own carriage as with
his own tail, and as far as his "personal"
fortitude is concerned is no. more dis
turbed at being pursued by one than
another. AS for other scarecrows that
come behind, they are mostly familiar to
the animal, and the more fully the horse
can perceive them the more quietly does
he submit to their approach. Then it is
such pity to cover up one OF the most
brilliant features of this most brilliant
creature. The horse has borne such
hand in the civilization of this rough
and-tumble world that it seems not so
much a cruelty as discourtesy, as we'll
as disgrace to hide his form with en-
barrassing toggery. No wonder we esti-
mate the force in the world as horse
power; no wonder the Romans and Ger
mans, each in their own language, desig-
mated their aristocracy as riders; no
wonder their descendants made chivalry
a synonym for their highest virtues. Let
the horse be given his due, and unblind-

From Swamp and Marsh,

From land left saturated by receding floods,
and from pools stagnating in sunken lots on
the outskirts OF cities, rises vapor preg-
nant with disease. Its name is miasma. and
it is laden with the seeds Of fever and ague,
bilious remittents, and other malarial disor-
ders. How TO cope successfully with these
destructive maladies is = problem solved
more than quarter of century ago by the
discovery Of Hostetters Stomach Btters,
which has proved itself an absolute specific
for miasmatic disease in every form, its sure
eral Alternative Of disordered conditions Of
the system. Irrefragible evidence To prove
this fact has been accommodating for years,
and scarcely day passes without some fresh
of it. Eminent physicians
have, after thorough test, pronounced the
article perfectly efllcacious and absolutely
pure, and the American people long ago
adopted it as their favorite household rem.

ArtichOkes for Live Stock.

Mr.. E. F. Brockway Of Washington
county, Iowa, writes to the Pdtrons
HELPER on this subject as follows:
''Some time last spring one of your
subscribers, writing for your paper on
the subject of "Artichokes for hogs"
suggested that some one that was able to
do so would try the experiment and re-
port. At that time had planted seven
acres, intending them for my Poland
China pigs, Of which l am raising $50.
Although this is only the second year
have planted, l no longer consider it an
experiment. Three of my neighbors
have raised them; one of them several
years rather extensively, and it was his
success that induced me to try it. He is
one of our most reliable men, and says
he considers one acre of artichokes equal
to ten acres of corn; he has raised 40
pigs this summer, and has scarcely had
any loss Of pigs or trouble with his sows,
and he thinks much of his good luck
due to his fields of artichokes. would
have planted year or two sooner, but l
feared they were humbug. Now l re-
greet that did not invest in them earlier.
Had done so my corn crib would not
now be empty. My seven acres are now
taller than my best corn, to large to
pillow, and have only been plowed twice.
/ will turn my hogs on them the last of
September or first of October, and let
them have the run of the field until the
middle of May or first of June. never
ring my hogs, and am not troubled with
their roofing when turned on good pas
ture in June. When you ring hog, or
cut his nose to prevent him from roofing,
you lock him out of his apothecary shop,
and endanger his health. When the hogs
are turned off the artichoke field in the
spring, it should be leveled with har-
row, which is all the care and cultivation
they will need.
81 think from 400 or 500 bushels per
acre an average crop. The variety we
use is the red Brazilian. My greatest
fears were that they would be difficult to
eradicate when once planted. have
seen one field almost entirely rooted out,
and think when hogs are left in too late,
or too many hogs on a small field, there
is danger of there not being enough left
in the ground for seed. When mine have
ripened l will dig square rod or two
and report the product, and by next
spring l will be able to give more salts
factory report of the trial. l do not
think their fattening qualities are as
great as corn, but think they are better
for producing bone and muscle, and
building up the system, and placing
them in the best possible condition to
finish with corn. When our farmers
learn to use greater variety of food for
their hogs, grass and pure water in abun-
dance, with artichokes, beets, turnips,
bran, shorts and corn to finish with, not
forgetting good dry place to sleep, then
will we hear less complaint of hog chole-

dollar and quarter per bushel, aud a

1t also solves the mystery Of the spark
ling new top-buggies and sleek horses

why the country minister's salary is only

Do NOT FACE THE LIGHT WhEN AT
WORK.-Statistics kept by oculists en-
ployed in intirmaries for eye diseases have
shown that the habit Of some persons in
facing window from which the light
falls directly in the eyes as well as on
the work, injure their eyes in the end.
The best way is to work with side light,
or if the work needs strong illumination,
so that it Is necessary to have the work
ing table before the window, the lower
portion of the latter should be covered
with a screen, so as to have top light
alone, which does not shine in the eyes
when the head is slightly bent over and
downward toward the work.
In the schools in Germany this matter
has already been attended to and the
tables 80 arranged that the pupils never
face the windows, but only have the side
lights from the left; and as light sim
ultaneously thrown from two sides give
an interference Of shadows, it has been
strictly forbidden to build school-rooms
with windows on both sides, such ilumi-
nation having also proved injurious to
the eyes of the pupils.
We may add to this the advice not to
place the lamp in front of you when at
work in the evening, but little on one
side; and never to neglect tho use of a
shade, so as to prevent the strong light
shining In the eyes. This 10 especially
to be considered at the present time,
when Kerosene lamps, with their intensely
luminous flames, become more and more
