WAS Bonn IN ,77G.

Louis Vatican, an Indian who Was born
in lI76, living at Lake George in his l06th
year He is in his second childhood in many
respects. His health is good, he has good
appetite, and he enjoys his pipe in true In
dian fashion. He was born at st. Francis,
now known as Pierreville, Canada. For his
bravery and superior qualifications as war
rior he was commissioned by Queen Victoria,
during the second year Of her reign, the first
or grand chief of the Banagwois tribe of

How Palace Cars Were Invented
and Introduced.

Senator Wagner got the idea of building
the sleeping cars from a man living above
Palatine Bridge, who had built one of q
clumsy pattern. Mr.. Wagner was impressed
with the idea of building sleeping cars, but
be had little capital, and applied to VIM. II.
Vanderbilt for the use Of an old car TO illus
trate his theory. The Hudson river night
boats then had a monopoly of the sleeping
passenger traffic. 1t seemed to Mr.. Wagner
that much time could be saved merchants and
others by providing sleeping accommodation
on the faster trains. The experimental car
was given Mr.. Wagner, and he worked for
months to get it into presentable shape.
Some trouble was experienced in inducing
Commodore Vanderbilt to look at the car
Through the influence of VIM. H., however,
the old man was finally induced to make an
examination of it. One Sunday morning in
1858 he went to the Thirtieth street depot,
where the car lay, and Mr.. Wagner explained
its construction to him. The old gentleman
walked back and forth through the car, close
ly examining every part. At last he turned
abruptly to Mr.. Wagner, and said:
How many Of these things have you got
on band!"
Mr.. Wagner replied that he had only one.
Go ahead and build more,'' said the Com
mod0re. 'It's devilish good thing, and you
can't have too many of them
This was the beginning of the Wagner
sleeping and parlor cars. Vanderbilt, how
ever, insisted that the cars should be built by
company, and he have an interest in it.

The proposition of erecting a Depart
ment of Industry as advanced by Com
missioner Loring does not meet with the
appreciation of farmers generally. As
projected. the present Department of Ag-
riculture would be the grand centre around
which would group other industries such
as mining, commercial manufacturing and
railroads; while at the head of this De-
partment should be man of the greatest
ability, who would be member of the
Presidents cabinet This sounds very
well. But would the utility of the Agri-
cultural bureau be embraced by this ac-
ton We fear not. Would not the agri-
cultural department founder in the midst
of these other powerful industries and
eventually be lost sight OFF The grangers
say that it would; at all events, this new
departure would be likely to seriously
cripple and curtail the present usefulness
of the department. Farmers Should be
keenly alive to any changes which may
be made and see to it that nothing radical
is consummated in connection with the
Agricultural Department without their
concurrence.

refused $500 per barrel for their apples
in the tall, or are holding them with the
expectation of realizing $500 or more Tor
them in February or March, had made
slight mistake. A leading Boston firm
who handle large amounts of apples write
in letter of recent date: I'VE cannot
see any time very soon that growers are
going to realize. S. 90 for apples. and think
they have got to sell at $3.50 or less. We

There are thousands of mechanics and
others in the vicinity of the cities who
keep one COW to furnish their families
with milk and dairy products There is
no better breed of cows for this class than
the Jersey. Indeed. she is the ideal fam
lily COW. Although she does not give a
large quantity of milk. it saves consid-
cradle labor in milking, especially if the
COW milks hard, it is very rich. almost
like cream, and is nice for tea or coffee
When you want to bring the butter no
complicated churn is needed; simply put
the cream into pail or other dish. stir it
few moments. and it is hard. golden,
gilt-edged butter, fit TO grace the Queens
table.
