Tbe White House and it's approaches resumed their normal appearance, there being no crowd around the gate nor any gathering on the porch The clerical force at the White House resumed their routine duties, which have been altogether neglected since the tragedy. Were it not for the presence of the military guard the casual visitors would hardly suspect that anything unusual had oc- cured. A report had gained circulation, causing much uneasiness among the people, that the ball had lodged against the wall of the abdomen and threatened danger from blood poisoning. Secretary Brown, however, said there was no truth, so far as he knew, in the report. The condition of the sufferer, he said, was accurately described in the bulletins as they were issued. The people eagerly awaited the first official bulletin, which was issued at 9:15 a. m. and was as follows:

 THE ASSAssIN'S FIRST B

Quite mystery hangs about the where abouts of the first bullet fired by the assas-
 sin. The first report was that it had lodged in his arm, but this proved untrue. It merely struck his coat sleeve. but what became of it afterwards is a mystery. It could not possi- ply have passed out of the room and yet both walls have been carefully examined There is no mark of a bullet upon them. The room was carefully searched, yet no traces could be found of it. The Presidents bleeding was
 largely exaggerated. The newspapers through out the land were replete with accounts of
 how the clothing of the President was soaked with blood and the floor of the depot slip pery with it. Oddly enough the President shed no blood at all. The only appearance of any was a single small spot of crimson dye on the inside of his vest. The wound did not bleed

Barbed Wire for Fencing.

Pref 5. A. Knapp in Ameiinaa AFricaitari.t.
Experience has demonstrated tie
practical value Of the following sug-
gcstions for constructing barbed- d-wire
fence Set substantial posts one rod
apart; the post at the starting point
should be braced by cutting a notch
in it two and a half feet from the
ground, and running a strong pole
from the notch 10 the foot OF the sec
ond post, where it is fitted to rest
firmly, and is supported about three
inches above the ground by means
Of a short block driven down beside
the fence post. This method of brac-
ing shonld be repeated once in forty
rods. 4 faulty construction would
be TO cut the notch in the starting
post four feet from the ground. make
the brace shorter, and allow the low
er end to rest upon the ground for
the moment the wire is frightened
upon the fence the short brace acts
as n fulcrum to lift the initial post.
When the posts are set wire Is wrap
ped firmly around the first post, four
feet and two inches from the ground:
then the coil is unrolled forty rods
and the wire drawn tight by means
Of 4 set of small pulleys with grap-
Piles. After this wire has been secure
ly stapled a second Is similarly fast
ened one foot below it, and third
and fourth below this, leaving = fccs
space between the respective wires;
the ground space Is fourteen inches.
Four wires thus arranged make : per-
feet cattle fence. For horses the
lower wire should be without harbs to
prevent cutting the knee, and tifth
wire should he placed upon the posts
five feet from the ground.

Tim Bunker IN American AErleaItarst.
Jake Frink seemed To be nettled
by Pastor Spooner's allusion to the
White Oaks, and the charcoal busi-
ness, which bis son Kier still follows.
lie said, :" guess there's more truth
than poetry in what Mr.. Spooner
says. The White Oak looks jest as
1t used to when | was boy, and, for
the life o. me, don't see emmy chance
for improvement. Ye see, the coun-
try is rocky, and the sile takes as
materially 10 white birches, pitch pine,
and scrub oaks As duck does TO

up there, he's got to- git it selling
wood, aud charcoal. Nuthin' else
pays, and that don't much. If
feller undertakes 10 clear up land IL
costs more than it comes To To git
the stones out, so he can plow, and
IL he sows rye, or plants corn, the
crop gon't pay without manure, and
where's your manure coming from
when ye're ten miles from the shore
and sea weed, and haven't got any
thing but charcoal or wood to buy it
with! Ye see. it's uphill business
for the White Oaks, and it is no use
to talk about the fairs doing the
white Oakers emmy good. Fact is,
they don't 60 much, and it's just "a
well as If they did. And it amt
much better here in Hookertown.

Bunker and them folks that had mon
ey plenty raised better things than
they used TO, and took premiums, and
they might make it pay. but he had
sent things TO the fair for several
years, but never got red cent for a
premium. Ny wife. Polly, gets pre-
miums on butter, bread, and bed
quilts, sometimes, and comes home so
sot up that there's no liyin' with her

qualities of most of the leading va.
rieties of wheat:
"There is wheat and wheat. Two
fields alike in every respect may vary
greatly in yield by reason OF The
kind of wheat grown. One may he
very short in the head and the other
twice as long In one the spikelets
may be very loosely placed on the
rachis or stem, and the other may
have them more crowded. In some
kinds of wheat the spikelet has three
grains, frequently the central foret Is
empty, and instead of three grains
there are but two In each spikelet.
This makes difference of one-thiri
In the yield of the crop in favor of
the completely filled spikelet. But
let US 60 further. We find In one
head, which Is short or loosely put
together, but six or seven spikelets
on each side, and in another as many
as twelve or even more. This makes
another great difference In favor OF
the better variety OF wheat. We
then count up the grains, and in the
