G.. Washout. Jones has been back
from Laramie several days, but a wild,
scared look still fingers in his bright
blue eye. He explains it by stating
that while he was in the Seem City "
a Laramie belle sought entrance to the
telegraph Office, and in her attempt to
get one foot through the door, smashed
in the side of the building. In this
connection it is gratifying to learn that
a plan is in progress for preserving
water-melons all winter; and now it
will be possible for a Laramie girl to
have something round enough to put in
the heel of her stocking when she
wants to darn it smoothly.

The Pay of the United States Army.

The amount required for the support
of the United States army during the
next fiscal year, according to the esti-
mates of the war department, is SOL
9S4, 9I5, 90, allowing y 500 fighting men
in the several branches of that service.
The house of representatives, it will be
remembered, proposed to reduce the
army to II 900 men, and approlriated
$52, 10000 for the ensuing fiscal wear.
The senate passed a substitute for the
house bill, leaving out the sections pro-
hibiting the use OF troops in South Caro-.
lima and Louisiana, which substitute ap-
propriated S26, 175, $3.50, and provided
that none of the money should be paid
for recruiting the army bevond the num-
Der of %, 900 enlisted men, including In
dian scouts and hospital stewards. But
the bill having failed, it is believed an
extra session of congress will be called.
The amount required for the pay of the
army, including commissioned and non
commissioned officers, privates, must
clans, Indians scouts, contract surgeons,
pay-masters, clerks, hospital stewards and
matrOns, extra pay to enlisted men, etc.
IS $l2,625, O75.50 1t is claimed that the
contracts for substance and transporta-
ton can be continued without violation
OF law but the officers and men cannot
be paid after the thirtieth of June next
without an appropriation for that pur
pose. The amount required for sub
sistance during the next fiscal year is
s., 90 for SUPPLIES for the quarter
masters department, including forage
for horses, etc, So, $50, 900, and for the
purchase and manufacture of clothing,
s695, 454. Although the army might be
fed and clothed until congress meets in
December next, the failure to pay the
0fncers and men would create much dis |
cord, especially among the privates, as a
soldier is forbidden by law from hypothe-
eating his pay.

Since the introduction of the Early
Rose there have been host of new

ALLEG ED EXTENSIPE FRAUDS IN
SILK APPROPRIATIONS.

Special agents of the treasury depart
ment are at present engaged in an inves-
tigation of the facts connected with the
Importation of silk at the port of New
York. Preliminary reports have already
been made to the secretary of the treas
ury. From these reports it appears that
conspiracy has been discovered for the
wholesale differentiation of silk imported
into this country. This is accomplished
by the aid of the manufacturers and
agents in Europe, and it is believed by
the connivance of customs officials in
New York. As nearly as can be learned,
the average differentiation is from thirty
to forty per cent. on an importation of
many millions of dollars. So extensive
have these frauds been that it is reported
that the largest dry goods houses in New
York, including that of A. T. Stewart
q Co., are unable to import silks directly
and pay the duties upon them according
to law in competition with the fraudu-
lent importations made by certain job

of importing their own silks these houses
purchase them of jobbers in New York
whose facilities sfor buying abroad are
not as good as their own. The investi- |
CATION of these frauds will be continued
and if they turn out to be of as extensive /
a character as the discoveries already
made seem to indicate, their exposure
will probably be one of the most import
ant ever made.-N. Y. Tribune

A SIeepless Young Man.

The st. Louis Republican has advices
from Davenport, Iowa, saying that there
resides in DIN, Jones county, young
man named Charles L. Mines, who for
the past SIX weeks has neither slept nor
slumbered for a moment, and according
to his account has no desire whatever for
sleep, and mentally and physically he is
as well as ordinary men. He says that
last fall he suffered from a severe attack
of measles, but whether that has any
thing to do with his inability to sleep IS
at present unknown. He has consulted
with no physician in reference to his
case, as he is not sick Yet every few
days strange feeling and confusion of
ideas will come over him and continue
for short time, followed by considerable
weakness. Mr.. Miner does not manifest
any alarm at his peculiar situation.
He will retire and remain wide awake
all night, and rise in the morning APP
parently as fresh as if he had slept

A writer in the Western Farm Jour
nal recommends for smallflower garden
the following lists, as they do not require
treatment, are good sturdy varieties, will
stand neglect yet do well: Asters, bal
sans, dianthus, petunias, phlox, calliop-
sis, verbenas, sweet peas, mignonette,
zinnias, marigolds and portulucas. The
same writer again says: The plants
have named win afford a Profusion of
flowers from June till October. Phlox
will be the first to blossom, and then
petunias will come on, and both of the
flowers will continue to increase in
beauty until hard frosts come. Asters
will be in perfection in August and Sep
TENDER. Calliopsis begins to blossom in
July, and nearly all the others come on
early in that month. If old flowers are
removed and not allowed to go to seed
you will have much greater profusioT
of bloom. IF you do not remove faded
flowers, but allow them TO perfect seed
you will soon see that your plants arr
losing large share of their former glory
You can't expecta plant to ripen seed anC
blossom profusely at the same time.

AGRICULTUR4L.


One secret of getting this forward
early consists in planting or sowing In
very light and rich but not rankly ma
nured soil, and in warm situation. A
strip of good soil along the front wall OF
a dollhouse is an excellent place to SOW If
there is sufficient depth of soil. The
heat from the wall makes n sensible
difference of temperature of the ground
for several feet outward. The seed
should be sown in drills six inches apart,
and the young plants should be thinned
cut as soon as they can be laid hold Of
first, to one or two inches asunder, and
the last three to six inches. This is not
allowing much room, but it is enough to
produce nice little compact heads.
When the plants are growing they should
never be allowed to get dry at the root,
but kept constantly moist, to encourage
aquick succulent growth and early heat
ing.

A Man Who Never Told a Lie.

drillers was standing over the hole, when
she suddenly spurted up agin, and, blast
nv eyes, if it didn't take that drilIer
right up with it. The stream was a pow

hundred feet. You've seen those little
balls as dance about on top of those little
squirting fountains, such as they have in
the cities? Yes, wal that's the way

How long has he been up there?
"About four days and four nights"
"He must be very hungry by this time.

"But he must have frozen to death /
before this time" /
"Why, man, we've sent him up ON the
anne stream bed and bedding, small
tove and wood, and we're going to build
i'm a small house, an then he can live
here as comfortable as prince"
His face was as innocent of deceit as a

bv hand, when there is no cheese mac lie,
and the cream only is churned, the skim
milk is all that is required, as the calves
will do much better not to have any
thing mixed with the milk. have
raised calves for forty years, and fed
them ten years before that, for it was
my Job from the age of ten to help the
servant girl feed the calves
In England the raising is done by let
ting the calves suck for a week, an d
then warming the skim milk, which is
sweet there when skinned but twice a
day is quite sufficient for feeding, and n
winter the calves have hay and son le
turnips cut, as soon as they will beg N
TO eat, which is geneally when about a
month eld-the Attorneys week 'or
ten days sooner.
The least troublesome way Is not TO
let the calf suck at all, as it will take to
drinking the milk in few minutes aft Fl
trial. Give the mothers milk war a
| from her for the first week; then 81 Ve
| skim milk. a little warmer than new
milk, night and morning, and when
grass comes let the calves lie in pad
dock with shade in it, and they will eat
as much grass as will do them good and
/ this is all they will require if they can
/ have about six quarts of the skim milk
every morning, and the same quantity
at night. When three months old they
will do very well on any good pasture
but they will grow faster if the milk il
continued longer
When cheese is made the whey has to
be given, and that is poor feed but some
thing mixed with that, as Mr.. Miner
advises, will do good, care being taken
to give little at first, to guard against
securing. l have raised a great many
on whey, and given nothing but what
the calves could pick from managers OF
troughs; though in these cases milk was
continued longer from the COW, and some
mixed with the whey the first few feed
ings.
OfaII the stupid ways of raising calves
the custom in the south and southwest
of letting them suck at milking time
!, beats Others, for the COW will not giv'
her milk down till the calf comes to her
and there are thousands of poor, Ignorant
men and women who think cows can not
be MIXED without the presence of the
D calf and have no idea of using more
= than one land at a time in milking.
! The time is approaching when all th'
2 heifer calves will be raised, and then thu
] cream will be SKINNED of and churned
l and the milk given to the calves. Thel
