The American women have
the smallest hands in the world.
Gloves made in France for the
American market are smaller
and narrower than for any other
in the world, and the fingers are
made more slender, as any
American woman will discover
who has to buy pair of gloves
in any provincial city in Europe.
Probably no American with a
small;sh hand which excites no
remark here has travelled long
abroad without discovering that
it is only large shopsin big cities
which keep gloves small enough
for her, and y lady with a hand
lust below the American average
four, living in one of the largest
cities in Eastern Europe, recently
found herself forced to send
to New York regularly ior
her gloves. 1t is ieleness
that makes the hands small
work that enlarges them. Per
baps the foregoing is equivalen
to saying that American wome1
! are the LATEST in the world.

proprietor Or an editor-in-chief in
the country who keeps so close
watch of his Journals affairs as Mr.
Bennett does. He is in constant
receipt of telegrams from the home
office, and directs all the important
moves which the paper takes. He
gets up very early indeed for a
man of convivial habits, and de-
votes large part of the day to the
Herald's business. Messengers
are continually running back and
forth between his house and tele-
graph office. It requires horse
and wagon to bring up his daily
mail from the post Office. Every
day at the Herald Office there Is q
consultation of editors, and at that
consultation some word is received
from Bennett by telegraph, whether
he is in Newport, in Paris, in Pau
or in Africa. Every night before
he goes to bed he knows what the
tone of the Herald's editorial COM
ments will be In the morning. He
has private secretary constantly

line news paragraph, written across
it with blue pencil. He knows
who every man at work in the Her

How he was Caught.

The Rev. jeremiah White, domestic
chaplain to Oliver Cromwell, had the
ambition to aspire to the hand of the
Lady Frances, Cromwell's youngest
daughter. The Protector was infor-
med of it, and having no inclination
for such an alliance, was SO much CON
cerncd that he ordered the person who
told him to keep "A strict lookout
promising if he could give him amy
substantial proofs he should be we'll re-
wardcd, and White severely punished.
The spy followed his business so
closely that in little time he logged
Jerry White--as he was generally
called-to the lady's chamber, and ran
Immediately to acquaint the Protector
Oliver, in rage, fastened to the
chamber, and going quickly in found
Jerry on his knees, kissing his daugh-
ter's hand, Cromwell, in fury, asked
what it meant White, with great deal
of presence of mind, said:
" May 1t please your highness, have
n long time courted that young gentle
woman there, my lady's woman, and
cannot prevail. l was, therefore, hum
bly, praying her ladyship to intcrcede
for me-
Oliver, turning to the girl, cried;
What's the meaning Of this, hussy?
Why do you refuse the honor Mr.,
White would do you? Heis my friend
and expect you to treat him rs
such"
My lady's woman, who desired moth.
ing better, with very low curtsey
replied
"IfMr. White intends me that honor,
/ shall not be against him.

Cromwell " Call Goodwin tone of the
preachers); this business shall be done

The Rev. Jerry had gone too far to
recede from his proposal; his brother
parson came, and Jerry and my lady's
maid were married in the presence of
the Protector, who gave the bride $500
as portion, to the secret dlsappOlnt-
ment and Indignation Of the enraged
dupe Of his own making, but to the
entire satisfaction Of the fair Abigail,

The Smokers tatarrh.

Habitual smokers, says the British

local effect Of tobacco on the mucous

An Ext Consul Dies i'm Poverty.

Jalnos Madison IarletUu, It consul
general to Melbourne, Australia, during
two presidential administrations, and
collector of the port Of Mobile under
Presidents Johnson and Grant, died in
this city last night from want and eX-
posure. He had most varied and sin
gular career. Born in New Hampshire
in 1905, his youth was spent in Con-
cord, where he attended the best schools
of the city. Attaining to manhood he
embarked III business as a cotton mer-
chant in Mobile, Ala, in 1887. Here
he accumulated a large fortune, but
misfortune overtaking him, he was, on
his own application, adjudged bank
rupt in February, 1912. His property
was sold to pay his liabilities, and from
his papers it appears that his creditors
lost but little by his failure. In 1880
he was appointed assistant postmaster
at Concord, n. H., yGen. Lowe, post
master. Here he remained for some
years. 1t was at this time in his life
that friendships formed in youth ri
pened into the warmest ties. With
President Pierce, Governor Baker and
the foremost politicians of the state, he
was on terms of the closest intimacy.
When Mr.. Pierce became president in
1852, he appointed his old friend con
sui to Melbourne, Australia. This 20
sition he retained for the greater part
of Buchanan's administration, also.
Returning to this country, he again
took up his abode in the south. At the
breaking out Of the war, though still a
democrat, he was opposed to secession.
In 1862 he came north, and henccforth
was pronounced republican. lie did
not, however, forget his friend, and
while bitterly denouncing democrats IN
general, would never say one word
against Pierce. Under President john
son he was appointed to the collector
ship of Mobile and was only removed
in the subsequent administration of
President Grant. Since that time ms
life has been one of knocks and cutls.
Some four years ago he found shelter,
through the kindness of Mr.. +. i.
Burke. over the latter's store, 4 small
room. comfortably furnished, was
placed at his disposal and during all
that time, while feeding and clothing
him. Mr.. Burke has received no remu-
neration. Mr.. Burke speaks in the
highest terms of Mr.. Tarleton's hon
esty any sobriety. He never, even in
the depth of his poverty forgot the dig
nifty Of his character, and was as indie
pendent as though he was worth mill
ions. He Stunned old friends, seem
ingly ashamed u acquaint them with
his changed condition. Mr.. Tarleton
married Miss Fisk, of Concord, n H.,
daughter Of Francis NJ Fisk, a
wealthy merchant Of that place. The
brother of Mr. Tarleton married SIS
ter Of the late Senator Goldthwaite, Of
Alabama. The independent character
and naughty | ide OF Mr.. Tarleton,
that forbade him making known ms
condition while he suffered in silence,
doubtless FASTENED bis death

Fall Pasturing

The dairyman who pastures ordinary
meadows in the fall. robs his next crop To
an extent that he does not realize. The
writer was conversant with case where
seventy five acres averaged regularly
about one hundred and fifty tons of ex-
cellent hay. when no pasturing was allow
ed and the owner, having teuant who
had been rather unfortunate, allowed him
to pasture some twenty-five cows upon the
aftermath of these meadows for a single
fall. and the consequence was reduction
of the Weld from $50 tons down to 80 tons
the next season. and the yield was never
recovered until reseeding. II was esti-
mated that the whole value of the twenty
five cows in the fall was not equal to the
injury OF the next crop on the seventy five
acres of meadow.
This practice of pasturing meadows is
one of the most ruinnus of the mistakes
among dairymcn and causes them often
to be so short of hay as to iniure the yield
of their herds in the spring. Good feed
ing through the winter lays the foundation
for good WELD of milk the following
season with good cows. Good meadows
are very essential to success in dairying.
and therefore this question should be mos
carefully considered National Lire
