Signs of an Open Winter.

"What kind of a winter are we going to have, uncle ?" asked 8 reporter of an old squirrel hunter and mink trapper, who makes his home in the hills of h. diana.
 CT kinder calculate that we will have a rather mild winter; all the indications point to such?"
 "What signs do you go by, uncle ?"
 "I have good many signs, and l never knew one of them to fail yet. When say we are going to have a mild winter, you can depend on it. Haven't I lived in this country for forty years, and haven't watched the winters right along, and oughtn't I be able to tell p
 Are the corn husks thin this year ?'
 "You had better reckon they are. There are only two or three layers of them, and they are as thin as calico. Why, the corn is all dry enough now to go through 8 snow without injury. The one or two frosts we have had have sucked all the sap out of it..
 "Are there any other indications be- sides the corn husks ?"
 "You better believe there are. Now, when the sun crossed the line the wind blew from the southeast. That indi- cates mild winter every time. If it had blown from the north you could have been prepared to hear the wind blow great guns.
 "Is that all p
 "Not by long ways. could tell you enough to fill 8 book. My dog hoied a ground hog the other day. I had nothing to do, so set to work and dug the animal out. He didn't have a leaf or twig in his hole; hadn't noth, ing in the shape of 8 nest.'
 "Isnt it too early for ground hogs to make their nest?'
 "Now see how little you know about 8 ground hog. A ground hog has his | hole dug, or has picked out his hole, by the first of September. If it's going to be 8 cold winter he has it filled with leaves by this time"
 els there anything else?''
 "Yes. The coons haven't commenced to gnaw the corn. That is splendi( sign. And another sign, and slgr that never fails, the woodpeckers haven commenced to drum Now, if this wat going to be cold winter all the deat trees would be covered with redhead pecking away at hole in which to stor' nuts."
 "Isn't it too early for that yet?'
 "Not bit. They should have thei holes all pecked by this time and b ready to fill them. There IS not smarter bird than the woodpecker; h knows what he's about when he is peck ing away at an old limb from mornin till night"

Forty Years Ago.

Forty years ago wood ashes were saved and sold to the farmers for fer tilizing material; it served also as an inn portant factor in the "leach- tub. Every family kept & "leach-tub" for the manu- fracture of s'lye." "Lye" was made by allowing water to drain through the ashes at the top of the leach barrel and accumulate in cavity prepared for it at the bottom. Once year the family called this into requisition in the making of their barrel of soft-sosp, for which the refuse fat (soap-faD had been ssaved. Soap-making, putting up sweet-meats and hog killing were important periods in the yearly family history. Spare ribs" and pigs liver graced the table on hog-killing days. Sausage-making fol- lowed. The family sausage was put up in long bags and hung in the cellar. The sausage was cut off for cooking in slices, the cloth adhering to the rim of each slice. Nor were these sausages reck- lessly and mechanically put together. The proper fixtures of beef, pork Qas and lean), and other seasoning with sage, summer savory and other herbs were matters to the housewife of deep and l careful study.

SOMETHING ABOUT CHESTNUTS.
Prices, GrRftinR, Worms, Chestnut Flour Horse Chestnuts Medicine.

"Chestnuts are scarce this year, and will be dear," said MT. Charles Helfrich, recently. Virginia nuts, which are the best, are sold at $11 and $12 bushel, and State nuts at $1O to $11. The pros poets are that the crop will be very light, and worms plenty. There is lit tie green speck to be seen in almost all chestnuts. Some dealers say every chestnut has one. This speck is the egg of 8 worm, which has been laid in the blossom, and the nut grows over it. Sometimes it never gets to be any more than speck. Bus with 8 sufficient amount of heat this speck soon gets to be worm, and eats his way out. The worms soon destroy crop. They grow, no chestnuts in California, and the only way to preserve nuts long enough to get them to the Pacific coast Is to have them kiln-dried. This destroys the worm, but it evaporates the moisture.
 " Most chestnuts come to market in bags, which keep them cool. As soon as possible they should be spread out in thin layers on the floor. This will pre- vent the matching of the worms. The season for native chestnuts lasts until Nov. 1. Then the Italian nuts come in. They sell for 10 and 12 cents 8 pound, or $6 and $8 bushel. I have seen American nuts sell as high as $16 and as low as $1. 50 bushel. They are sweeter than the Italian nuts. In Italy chestnuts are much used as food because they are cheap, but the Italians in this country find other food to be cheaper. There is a flour made of chestnuts, which is sold at the Italian stores. The bread made from it is very nutritious, but rather tough.
 (" The, supply of chestnuts varies very much. Sometimes we cannot find enough to meet the demand, and at other times the market is dull. Attempts have been made to cultivate chestnuts, with varying success. A man on Staten Island has succeeded in raising some, by cultivation, of 8 size midway between Virginia and Italian nuts. The improve, ment was effected by grafting.
 " As the woods are cut down the SUD- ply of nuts decreased. The decrease in this State has been rapid. Considerable quantities of nuts have been sold for ex- | port Foreigners like the flavor of oul chestnuts. As to horse chestnuts, dc not know that they have any market
 value. There are some who use then
 for medicinal purposes. There isa wide
 spread superstition that the carrying O
 a horse chestnut is Q preventive of dis ease. "-NeaU Fork Sa1e. ,'

The Black Flags.
Lin Yang Fu's Proclamation Against the
 French.
water. ,


 Lin Yang Flu, commander of the Black Flags, has issued the following chal- lenge:-
 ' You French freebooters look like tigers on the world, seeking how to give vent to crafty schemes and cruel deeds. There is no land for which your mouth does not water, no riches you do not de- sire to to devour. Religious teaching you employ to undermine and injure people. International commerce is to you pretext for swallowing countries.
 "Your cruelty is infinite. Your wickedness is extreme. On your strength you rely to debauch our women, which excites the indignation of gods and men and is uncomfortable in heaven and earth. Now you want to avail your selves of an excuse to endeavor to &C., quire Annam, and under the pretext of international commerce to depart from the treaty, trying to befool the world in order to give vent to your martial de- signs and seize cities, storm towns, slaughtering officials, robbing the reve- nue, killing the innocent and encour- aging secret bands. Your outrages and cruelties have reached far and wide. Year crimes are almost too numerous for words. Your shame could not be washed out though you were to exhaust the water of the West River.
 "The issuer of this proclamation hay ing received commands to avenge the wrongs inflicted by you, and having sworn with his army, with justice on his side, to lead the troop to the slaughter of your vile lot, his first desire was to proceed with lightning speed, beat down your rabbit holes, and exterminate youl pack of foxes without pity.
 'This would be matter of great re joicing to the heart of man and would manifest Heavens vengeance. But, re- fecting that Hanoi is also 8 territory belonging to the government, and that the traders there are all respectable loyal people, I could not endure tha that city be reduced 10 ruins and young and old killed at the edge of the sword I therefore issue this proclamation tha you may know that, on the day tht proclamation arrives, you French rob bers, who have already acted unlawfully may lead forth your crowd of dogs an( sheep to meet our army of heroes"

A Long Swim.

The Russian cavalry stationed at War saw recently made an interesting expert ment. During the maneuvers in the neighborhood of that city a division, consisting of three regiments of dragons and one regiment of Cossacks, 1,8OO strong each, was ordered to swim across a river some 75 feet wide. The depth was 12 feet. The General and his staff started ahead and the regiments fol- lowed them in perfect order in two single files, on account of some difficulties in the formation of the banks. It took the whole force two hours and half to cross the river. Not horse was lost. A few men fell off but were fished out by some small boats stationed on watch.

THE MILLING INDUSTRY.
Prospects of an Extra Fine Grade of Flour
 From the Present Wheat Crop.

s. H. Seamans, Secretary of the Ma tional Millers' Association, takes an en- couraging view of the outlook for the flour milling industry in the crop year which is now commencing. Speaking on the subject to a newspaper corre- spondent, he said: 'I think we are going to have better gradn of flour the con- ing year than we have had for good many years, Starting as we are at pretty low prices, think the prospects for millers are very encouraging, al- though the markets, both domestic and and foreign, are at present very dull. noticed by the latest cables that stocks of flour in London are being reduced quite rapidly, and it would seem that just as soon as these large stocks have gone into consumption we shall have a good demand and better prices. At yresent, however, there is no margin of profit in the export business. The stock of four in New England IS nothing. Like everybody else, buyers there are waiting for lower prices. As soon as they appreciate the fact that prices are not going to be much lower they will naturally take hold and lay in stocks, instead of as at present buying only from hand to mouth." Speaking par ticularly of the wheat now being received here, Mr. Seamans remarked that we were getting better quality of wheat from the spring wheat section than has been grown for several pears past. AL most the only complaint from millers has been on account of the presence of smut in some of the receipts, a very unusual thing in spring wheat. Smut has been previously most confined to winter wheat. A great deal of the spring wheat is going into lower grade on account of smut, and there seems to be no machinery capable of removing it en- tirely. 'sI learn" said MT. Seamans,
 ''that good many of the millers have been suffering from this smut, but think the inspection here now is pretty thorough in regard to it, so that most o it will be kept off No. 2 and the higher | grades"

STORIES OF FORTUNE.
How n Water We'll Became an Oil We'll and an Oil Well a Water Well.

''Talk about tumbles in the price of oil, said 8 veteran operator on the Brad ford, Pa., Petroleum Exchange, ''nothlng like the one of the winter of 1860 has been known in the modern days of the trade. That was the winter that Jesse Heydrick put down the old Farmers and Mechanics we'll, or rather the company that he formed put it down, and that was the first company ever formed to develop the oil territory. The we'll came in good for about 5000 barrels 8 day, and half of it couldn't be taken care of, but ran down the creek in a regular flood. Oil was oil then, and was worth $13 bar rel. Pittsburg was the only market, and we had only one way to get oil there, and that was by running it in barges down the Allegheny River from Oil City. Of course it was necessary to have fresh cts to transport 1t in this way. The winter that Heydrick struck his we'll the river was frozen over, but he was bound to get some oil to Pittsburg. He suc- ceeded in cutting way through, and ran ten flat boats down. He sold all his oil for $13 barrel. The next day a thaw set in, and in two days the river broke up. Then the boats began to run, and in short time the market was overstocked, and in less than week oil was selling at 90 cents a barrel.
 "The early days of oil production were attended by many curious incidents. One of the queerest was streak of luck a well owner struck on the creek in 1863 He had drilled well down to the third sand, but found nothing but water, and three days continuous pumping failed to bring anything else to the surface, SC he abandoned thewell in disgust. The next day neighbor of his, who wal operating on an adjoining lease, came over to see the disgusted well owner and informed him with much excitement that since the pumping of water had ceased at his well great trouble had re suited at the other well, which hat yielded thirty barrels of oil day as long as the water was being pumped, bu upon the stopping of the water pumping had filled up with water and produced no more oil.
 "The result was that the man who owned the producing well hired the les' fortunate operator to keep his puml going, for which he paid him $40 week The producing we'll was thus restored k its former condition, and things worked satisfactorily for six months, when sud denly one day the we'll that had beer yielding nothing but water began pump ing oil. and the one that had yielded oi in turn became 8 water well. Tn, changed situation resulted in 8 lawsuit which was won by the owner of the vel that had at first yielded nothing bu l water !"

How Did Maine Get Its Name.

In paper read before the American Antiquarian Society Hamilton R. Staples said that the name of Maine was given to that State descriptively, since in the original charter it was considered "the Mayne Land of New England" MT. William H. Smith writes to the Portland Press quoting this assertion and saying :: "I have heard that our State has been named for Frankfort-on-t the Main; for the Province of Meyne in France. Will liamson says, Vol. l., section 1, of his history, that the Maine was called Mayo shen or Mavooshen by ancient voyagers and writers. In Purchas's Pilgrims Mr. Haklynt describes it to be a country lying to the north and east of Virginia between the degrees of 43 and 45. It is 40 leagues broad and 50 in length, lying in breadth east and west, and in length north and south. It is bordered on the east side with country, the people whereof they call Tarrentines; on the west with Ephistoma; on the north with great wood called Senagloconna; and on the south with the main ocean, sea, and many islands. In Mavooshen it seemeth there are nine rivers-the west ernmost of which is Shawacotoc (Saco). At the head of this river-to the north west there is small province which they call Crokemago, wherein is one town probably the Indian Peywaket.'
