A HEROIC PRIEST.
Edmonton Bulletin ]

On the 18th of July last, at Muske g
Lake, Canada, G.. Choppeline, Roman
Catholic priest, missionary of that place,
having no food at the mission, left with
an Indian family in quest of ducks and
geese around the lake. The father and
1--we Indians sailed in the same canoe,
and two other Indians in the second. 1t
was blowing gale, and the priests boat
upset. The other boat came TO the res
cue and succeeded in picking up the
mother of the family and one of the lit
tie girls. They hastened to put these
ashore, and went back to save the others,
but ali had disappeared. The last seen
of the priest he was swimming with a
young girl on his back. The bodies of
three Indians were found shortly after,
but that of the unfortunate priest had

ANCIENT TROY.
New Excavations Nearly Com
nIeted-TMO Big Temples.


DR.. Schliemann has nearly completed
his new excavations on the site of
ancient Troy. His wife, in a letter to
the Athens journal, Hestia, describes
their latest discoveries: ''ClOse to the
spot which we consider the site of Troy
there are the remains of two buildings
which, in the opinion of our two archi-
teets, DIR. DOrCfield and Herr Offer, rep
resents two temples. The appearance of
the two buildings Is so different that
they cannot be said to resemble any of
the well-knOwn ancient temples, with
the exception of that of Hera at Olym-
pia. This, according TO Pausanian, was
erected probably about 11OO b. q. The
first of our two temples at Troy Is 80
metres long and 13 metres in width,
while the walls are IA metres in thick
ness. The other temple Is 20 metres
long and seven metres broad, the walls
being ~ metres in thickness. 1t Is
noticeable Q that the walls are built in a
different manner. In the first there are
no jOinings with clay, but in the second
there are large cOmmissures filled with
clay, which Is also slightly burnt. The
inference is that the two temples were
built at different periods, and that the
first described is older than the second.
As have above mentioned, the breadth
of the first temple is 13 metres, and the
length 80 metres. 1t is scarcely credi-
BILE that the roof could be solid and with
out any supports, though of the latter
at any rate there is nothing to be found.
Throug hOut the entire 'Iliad' of Homer
we find no mention of such supports,
while in the Odyssey where they are
spoken of, they are described as being of
wood. Assuming now that there had
been wooden supports in the first temple
they could not have stood on a floor of
clay. There must have been stone
foundation beneath them, yet nothing
of the kind is discovered on the spot"

The reason why DR.. David Kennedy's
''FavOrite Remedy" cures complaints of
the Liver, Kidneys, Bowels, and Blood,
is that 1t is compounded of the very
remedies which Nature herself has pro-
Vided for this purpose. Being at first
scattered through the woods and fields,
DR.. K. has collected them and condensed
their virtues in the form which he now
confidently offers to the sick and suffer

The New York Indicator thinks that
the lesse ening volume of money in the
East is largely due to the rapid expan-
sion of trade in the West. In this con-
nection it notices the fact that last year
the Minneapolis Millers' Association
handled about ten millions of bushels of
wheat, and this required the use Of 3d.
100000 In money. 1t is estimated that
the association will handle fully eigh
teen million bushels during the ensuing
year, and this will call for quite fifty
per cent. more money than was used In
1881. The prices of wheat, however,
will be lower than last year, and for
that reason the amount of money re-
Quired during the year will be lessened
to the extent of the difference in price.
Our financial cOtempOrary considers IL
good thing that in each year large
Of the wheat crop is being manu-
factured into -four for shipment abroad,
and assigns as reason thatthis insures
a large export price for the wheat crop,
affords employment for labor, and re-
tains the refuse for feeding purposes at
home. In 1901 the exports of flour
were 3,653,841 barrels, while in 1S90-81,
only ten years afterwards, the export
trade in this article amounted to 1885,
1856 barrels.

Prolific Potatoes.

Mr.. George Hoffman, of Onondaga
county, New York, has raised about $50
bushels of potatoes to the acre this year.
William Cannon, of the same neighbor-
hood, raised 500 bushels to the acre.
Mr.. A. NJ. Williams, who visited these
farmers, writes of the formers field:
He dug few hills to show me. The
first contained twenty one potatoes, only
two too small for market, and most of
them very large. They were planted in
drills, from six inches to one foot in the
row, and rows three feet apart and two
eyes in place. Many of these hills, he
tells me, will contain twenty-six potatoes
most of them very large; in fact, most of
the hills he dug to show me did not con-
tain a single potato too small for market.
The varieties are Chicago Market, YER
mont, and Early Ohio; the last the ear
Hest. These crops, far beyond anything
I ever saw before, are on muck land !;
our greatest crops here are grown upon
muck.
But the great crops are not, as think.
due to any native richness of the muck;
if potatoes are planted on muck before
it is prepared, the result is small peta-
toes and few in hill To get this muck
land in condition to produces maximum
crop takes about five years. The land is
drained and heavily MANFRED, and thor
oughly worked each year. 1t is aston
ishing to see what an amount of manure

There is intense excitement in Europe
regarding the activity manifested by France
in increasing its armament. France has
just ordered nine hundred new cannon Of
Hotcbkiss, the American armorer, for the
French navy and other purposes. The
French government requested Mr.. Hotch-
kiss to double the capacity of his works at
st. Denis. The Germans are making sew
eral hundred new cannon at Madgeburg.
The French are building several new IRON
clads. Heavy special appropriations for
ordinance have just passed the French
Chambers.

The main dining room of the Continen-
tai Hotel, Philadelphia, presented beauti-
night. on the occasion of the first annual
festival of the New England society Of
Pennsylvania. Speeches were made by
Gov. Hoyt, Senator Frye of Maine, Presi-
dent Hopkins. Senator Rollins, in conclud-
ing, said that the next speaker, while not
bonn in New England, had done the best
he could for he had his children born there
and thus had made himself New England
ancestor. He thus introduced Mark T vain,
who sat to the left of Gov. Hoyt. Mr..
Clemens rose and in peculiar, sleepy man
ner began his remarks by thanking the
company for the deserved compliment to
himself and his posterity. Il shall contin-
ne to do my best, drawled out the speak
er. who continued as follows:
ooh! my friends, hear me and reform. I
seek your good, not mine. You have heard
the speeches; disband these New England
embellishments of o system of steadily
augmenting laudation and hosannahing,
which. if persisted in, uncurbed, may some
day in the remote future beguile you into
prevaricating and Dragging. Oh! stop; stop
while you are still temperate in your appre-
ciatlon of your ancestors. Hear me, be-
seech you; get up an auction and sell Ply
mouth Rock! The Pilgrims were sim
ple and ignorant race; they never had seen
any good rocks before, or, at least, any
that were not watched, and so they were
excusable for hopping ashore in frantic de-
light and clapping an iron fence around
this one; but you. gentlemen, are educated,
you are enlightened; you know that in the
rich lind of your nativity, opulent New Eng
land, OVERLOOKING with rocks, this one isn't
wo tn, at the outside, more than thirty five
cents. Therefore, sell it, or, at least,
throw it open to the patient medicine adj
vertisements, and let it earn its taxes.

Constant Red Glover.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
see, by note lately received from
one of your readers, that the statement
made by me in the Tribune, as to what
clover does in our Iowa soil, seems al
most incredible to Eastern farmers
Strange as it may seem, this clover,
which is a biennial, appears to be con-
slant thing when once started in our
soil. 1 myself am from the East, being
New-Hampshire born and raised. l
have now been in Iowa a little over a
quarter of a century, and all the time on
the same land took up wild twenty
seven years ago. The question of all
others to an Eastern man when COM
mencing farming here is, or was, 'the
for now with the most of Iowa farmers,
this question is settled in theory if not
10y practice.
For years 1 was told could not raise
tame grass and clover here on this loose
mellow soil. 1 have, however, proved
the contrary. I have now the most of
$40 acres seeded in timothy, red clover,
Kentucky blue grass and white clover,
the last two i'll pasture only. This year
I cut from $50 to 300 tons of as fine timo-
thy and clover as [ ever saw, Part Of
the fields moved over have been seeded
fourteen years. The soil is mostly sec
ond bottom land, light loan slightly
mixed , it'll sand, soil from three to five
feet deep and underlaid with sand and
gravel. Part of the time have cut two
crops and then pastured it closely fall
and spring. Some of it has had one
slight topdressing of barnyard manure.
The most of it never has had fertilizer
of any kind upon it. Until seeded
down it was cropped, mostly with
corn; sometimes with wheat and oats
If we once get catch of clover it seems
to be seeded for all time, for it gets thick
er every year. One winter, some four
years ago, the clover seemed to be killed
out, and cut most of the fields for tim
othy seed, bnt the next year the clover
came in again so thick that not one plant
in twenty could possibly live because so
thick. My theory is this: For some
reason this soil favors the production of
large amount of seed, and the ground
gets full of it, so to speak, and it keeps
constantly coming. Again, this soil does
not heave out the roots of clover by
freezing, as in eastern states on clay soil.
Blue grass and white clover once started
here, even on ever So small scale,
spread rapidly until the whole pasture is
covesed. Some of these facts about red
clover may seem strange to eastern
farmers. 1t was pleasing surprise to
me.
Morris tribune., 1882-10-19
Great Demand for Locomotives.

The Baldwin Locomotive Works, of
Penn sylvania, recently refused to take an
order from Lehigh Valley railway for delivery
earlier tina 1888; and they would only agree
to deliver at the rate of three month. At
the present time an ordinary eight wheel
passenger engine sells for S13 500; three or
four years ago it could be built for $1,000.
There are fifteen locomotive works in the
United States. Their capacity varies at
from eight to fifty engines per month.
The past year they built two thousand sew
en- hundred locomotives; next year they will
turn out three thousand. Besides this
number the railroad companies annually
build three hundred to four hundred
engines. There are eighteen thousand To-
comotives now running on ninety-four
miles of track, which is being ex-
tended at the rate of ten thousand miles o
year. But one thousand locomotives yearly
give out. So that it will be seen there is
at his old friends with representa- gaze,
the poor man added, half triumphantly:
"Ah! yes, knew well that in time you
would return to me, every one of you;
those rascals at the steam mills are prisoners
and thieves. Have not said so from the
first? and did not do my best to prevent
you going to them2" In the first ardor Of
their sympathy and self-reproach, the
neighbors would have borne Corniue
in triumph to the village, mounted
upon their shoulders: but the old man shook
his head and said, with pathetic smile:
"No, no, my good friends; a thousand thanks
for the honor you would do me, but can do
nothing until have fed my mill. Re-
member how long it is since the poor thing
has tasted foodt" And there was not an
eye but filled with tears to see the poor old
miller's happy face, as he stood among his
sacks, turning busily from one to another
as he emptiea them each in turn, his gaze
fixed upon the great wheel as it revolved
slowly, crushing the ripe wheat and send
ing high up to the ceiling cloud of white
dust, which awoke the spiders from their
nap.
1t is only justice to the villagers to add,
that from that day TO the last hour or his
life the old miller was never again allowed
to lack work; but when one bright morning
Cornille died, and the wings of his beloved
mill ceased to turn in the summer air, they
were permitted to be at rest forever; their
labor had ceased with the old mans simple
life.

The Army Chaplains Choice.

The following "Reminiscences of the war
of the rebellion. related by Chaplain G. of
the---New Hampshire Regiment has not
before, We believe, found its way into print.
1t was in the pioneer days, when military
tactics, it seems, were not the only thing
that would occasionally get little overdone,
that the boy, unluckily, once upon time,
got the temperature of the earth even rath-
er Ii ID for the good of the Sunday morning
baked beans, and as they ratified out of the
pots, they reminded the hungry soldiery
considerably more of distant roll-call
than of anything savory for their sharpened
appetites. The quick eye of Colonel T., as
he came into camp, took in the situation at
a glance; and drawing his broad. rudy
face into an expression of we'll feigned
gravity becoming the occasion, he quietly
said to the officiating clergyman, Chaplain.
the beans, as you see, have got pretty
hard bake on 'em this morning, but if you
think they are worth asking blessing over,
go ahead. Whether or not the second
blessing descended in due form is matter
of conjecture. 1t Is certain, however, that
the good humor which followed the hale
coloners remark proved to be much more
salutary condiment that day than anything
found in the pepper boxes, excepting, per-
haps, for the goodly few who still retained
a faint recollection of their catechisms.
