ARrnve Engineer.

THE bravery of locomotive engineers has
often been dwelt upon, and many heroic acts
by the brave fellows have heretofore been
chronicled. One of the most heroic deeds on
the part Of an engineer yet recorded was per-
formed recently by Engineer Bond, Of Wabash
Engine 327. His engine left Toledo Sunday at
5;55 p. IN, pulling the No. 3west-bound passens
ger-train. When nine miles west Of Defiance,
Ohio, one of the driving-rods broke in twain
on the engineers side. The fragments tore
up through the cab, and threw Bond, stunned
and bruised, back on top of the coal in the
tender. There was great danger of the broken
drlving-rod throwing the engine from the
track and wreoking the train. The broken
rod kept chopping up through the very.
spot where the Whiste-cord hung, so that
'brakes-dOwn" could not be called The mo-
mentum of the train gradually increased, and
the danger Of ditching the whole train was
paramount in the engineers mind. As he re-
covered himself a happy thought struck him.
The train was supplied with automatic air
brakes. If he could but cut the pipe and allow
the wind to escape the brakes would set them
selves. He put his ideas into action by putting
his penknife between his teeth and climbing
down the rear end Of the tender, and getting
between that and the first coach; he reached
down while the train thundered along at fifty
miles an hour, and at the risk OF his life sue
ceeded in cutting a slit in the brake-ho8e. The
brakes, fatiktulto their duty, set themselves
and brought the train to a halt without any
further damage. OF course the passengers,
when they heard of their narrow escape, were
loud In their praises Of Bonds bravery.-Chs-

-Adolphus Andrew Hoagland, OF
Shadeville, Va, is seventy years old,
and has had three wives, The first was
a widow when he married her, and had
a little daughter. When this wife died
her daughter was a widowed mother,
and Hoagland within few years mar
ried her. There was some feeling, he
says, against his making his stepdaugh-
ter his wife, but they we're happy
couple, and the prejudice died out.
Ten years ago the second wife died.
Her daughter was then fifteen. Five
years elapsed, and then Hoagland again
married his stepdaughter, who was also
his step granddaughter. She is still
living, and her husbands 5 age, aside
from the fact that she had no daughter
when she became his wife, precludes the
idea Of his peculiar system being car
ried any further. He has children Of
his own by each of the three wives, and
the complications Of their relationships
are almost endless. Hoagland declares
that his matrimonial experience, cover
ing about fifty years, has heen exeep-
tionally happy. The last two wives in-
herited the good qualities Of their moth
ers, and all were so much alike that
they have seemed to him the same
woman, with her youth occasionally re-
neWed.

Horse SHOES KEPT ON TOO LONG,
There seems to be no doubt that this
causes more injury to the feet of horse
than anything else; for as soon as the
shoe is fastened on double action be-
gins, as his hoof grows down and presses
against the shoe, and the shoe is ham,
mered forcibly up against the hoof every
time the hoof is set back on the ground
after being raised. This makes the dou-
BILE action which is so apt to prove inju-
rious. To obviate this, it becomes neces-
sary to have the shoe fit nicely and
easily at all times to the horses foot.
To insure this it should be taken off and
reset about once fortni ght; and in
doing so care should be taken to first file
off the clinching part of the nails outside
of the hoof, so they cannot make large
holes or tear the hoof as they are with
drawn. Some let shoes remain on the
horse two or three months. Nothing can
be more injurious to keeping up a sound,
good foot than this. The change twice
month or so allows the foot to expand,
and keeps it in healthy. natural form.

COUGH AND HIS CIGARS.

John B. Cough, who has faced over

that on one occasion, and one only, he en-

GREASE CHEESE.

The learning of the chemist, the ava
rice of spectators and the skill of
inventors appear to have combined for
the purpose of getting into the human
stomach by fraud and force all the grease
which is picked from the stomachs of
the millions of cattle, hogs and sheep
killed in this country. 1t is evidently
the doctrine of these fellows that peo-
pie that can eat grease and won't, must
be made to. and acting upon this theory
they have put upon the market as butter,
oleomargarine, sueine, butterine, lard
inc, and dozen other ines which are
simply specious devices for the purpose
of crowding grease down our threats.
And now we have another similar abom-
ination having the same general purpose
in the shape of grease cheese.
In regard to this Mr.. Crapser of St.
Lawrence county, N. T.. was forced to
make confession by committee of the
legislature the other day in which he
stated that he owned twenty-one facto-
ries in st. Lawrence county, which are
entirely devoted to the manufacture of
lard cheese. He says he takes milk
and extracts all the elements of butter
from it. He then takes the skim milk
and to every hundred pounds of it he
adds one and one-fourth pounds of re-
fined hogs lard. This lard has been
previously heated to temperature of
100 degrees, and then runs through a
cylinder machine which contains 10000
teeth. The lard is churned and beaten
in a cylinder till it resembles cream.
The lard thus transformed and the skim
milk are put in cooling tank together
When in the proper chemical condition
there is added to them rennet and salt
and the joint product is transformed into
cheese by the same methods that are
used in making ordinary cheese. Mr.
Crapser in conclusion said that last
summer he received ten cents a pound
for his "lard cheese" and is unable tt
fill the orders of merchants for it.

CULTIvATING ORCHARDS.

There is an extraordinary error in
supposing orchards cannot prosper unless
the soil is cultivated, an error also with
regard to manuring If the orchard is in
grass, and sheep and calves or yearling
cattle Craze it, the droppings from the
animals will be sufficient to keep the
land. OF course the land must be rich
when the trees are planted or there will
be little grass for sheep and young stock
to eat. and consequently little manure
from them.
In England all the orchards are on old
grass land, and the trees when young
are protected from being barked by hav-
ing thorn-brush tied round the stems
with tar cording or willow wlthes, and
sometimes frame called "crutch" is
put round to keep the stock from gnaw-
ing its bark or rubbing against the tree.
The harm in recommending keeping
orchards in grass is that it is not ex-
planned that the grass must never be
allowed to grow long, but must be grazed
close. If nice, comfortable shed or
two are in the most sheltered parts, and
the animals are fed with nourishing food
every morning and evening through the
autumn, the sheep and calves will, by
going about the orchard, drop more ma
nure than is due to the grass eaten, and
thus enrich the earth very much. A
good orchard near farm house is very
handy for keeping calves which are
weaned on skim milk They ere used
for this purpose good deal in England.
On the Island of Jersey, orchards are
grazed good deal with the mich cows,
which have their heads fastened to one
fore leg in a way which gives free action
excepting to reach upward. This is
where the trees are at full size.
