Curious Criminal Romance.

A dispatch to the New York Times
fom Cochecton, o., tells his curious
story: About thirty years ago. mar
am to the village who gave his name
as James Gardner. He was an English
man, and for some time worked as a
arm laborer, although he had an abund-
ance of money. One of the farmers by
whom he was employed was named
| Mitchell, and this NJ m had a daughter
named Matilda. After a short acqnaint-
once the couple were married, and
Gardner bought q farm near the village
and settled down. This was in the year
1854. During their residence there the
couple were blessed with five children,
four of whom are known to be alive. In
the year 1867, accompanied by their
children, they sailed for ENGLAND. Ar
irving in She latter country Mrs. Gard
ner discovered that her husbands name
was not Gardner. hut Isaac Poole, and
also that he had been forced to leave
England on account of crimes committed
there. After his wife made this discov-
cry Gardner deserted her and she was
compelled to return to her old home on
the farm. This she did in the year 1871
bringing all her children with her. Las,
August Mrs. Gardner was accidentally
killed on the 'sErie Railroad; the fou,
children separated, and their where.
abouts were unknown a weekago, when
a dispatch came from England, nm
%nouncing that Isaac Poole, known as
| James Gardiner. had dieo in England,
leaving an estate at 81 1000, coo to his in
| injured wife and children in America

Begging of the President.

In q compartment of a large walnut
bookcase at the White House, a num-
Der Of large brown envelopes are piled,
marked Eccentric" Their contents
are, in the main, begging letters from
all parts of the United States, addressed
TO the president for aid in carrying out
private enterprises. Que is from a lady
who signs herself q music teacher, who
asks the president to purchase her a pi-
ano, in order that she may give music
lessons to support herself. Another,
from . veteran of the late war, calls at
tention to the TACT that his pension has
been delayed too long to suit him, and
prompt action is urged in the matter
AL sorts of schemes are proposed for the
distribution of the presidents salary,
out thus far he has declined to pay any
attention To- the letters. A persisten,
crank sends a weekly communication in
relation to q patent for perpetual motion,
with the suggestion that a few thousand
dollars are alone needed to insure its
success, but the brief eccentric" on the
package is the only consideration tina,
it obtains. Nearly all of these letters
are received and opened by the presi.
dent, who refers them to his secretary.

Farming Paragranha.

A correspondent of the Country Gen.
tleman reports a new enemy to the po-
tato in the shape of a weevil which
preys upon the stock, entering it near
the ground, consuming the pith and
causing the stalk to dry up and die.
The editor advises burning the affected
vines and roots, as soon as the insects
work is noticed.
The New York Times reminds farmers
that smut is rapidly increasing, few
crops being free from it. A solution of
four ounces Of blue vit~rol-sulphate of
copper-dissolved in gallon of water
for each five bushels of seed, which is
stepped in it until it is absorbed, has
been found the most effective to destroy
the minute spores which produce the
fungus.
Provide a variety Of feed for the hogs.
Do not feed corn alone. Feed the
pumpkins that you raised among the
corn. Pick UP the potatoes too small
for market and the fallen anples not
wanted for cider, and feed them to the
hogs. Swing your large iron kettle in
the hog lot and cook those turnips you
have raised on the early potato patch;
mix with turnips, bran, corn-meal, and
a very little salt, and feed in troughs-
See thai the hogs get ashes, charcoal
and salt regularly. Save all vegetable
scraps and greasy water and refuse milk
for the slop barrel, which keep one
third full of bran and corn.meal. Begin
feeding the hogs three light meals per
day.
No farmer, says.the New York Times,
should omit to steep his seed wheat i'll
some ca'lstic solution that will destroy
the germs of rust and smut. A sllution
OF four ounces uf blue vitriol-sulphate
OF copper-dissolved in q gallon of water
TOR each five bushels of seed, which is
stepped in it till it is absorbed, has been
Iouudt the most effective. Strong lime
water, salt brine, and old chamber I've,
which contains a large quantity of ana
monia, have all been used with benefit.
Smut is rapidly increasing. Few grain
crops are free from,it, and all we can do
TO help ourselves to- prevent it is to use
these precautions.
The Albany Evening Journal, in an
swer to the question, "What holidays a
farm hand that hires oet by the year is
entitled to?" discouases pleasantly
about the duties and privileges of farm
service and closes as follows: "a farm
hand is entitled to-. as many HOLIDAYS Az
the season and the work can spare to
him without causing rea5 loss; of course
he is supposed to do the work involved
in caring for live stock seven days in the
week; and as for hours, he should be as
willing to work ffteena day in the stress
of harvest or shearing as he is to work
three and a hall in idle winter weather.
But he can have a better guarantee for
himself than most of the operatives
whose hours and holidays are fixed bv
law or usage, by being contented and
cheerful about his work, bv watching
his employers interests, and by trying
to make himself the most valuable farm
hand IN the section. They say that that
sort of a man has, gsown scarce on.

Old Chairs.

With the revival of old furniture, the
straightforward rockers of our great
grandmothers seem to find a place in
modern homes. 1t is quite the fashion
to fit up the old chair which used tc
stand in the chimney corner seventy
tive years ago, and which has rocked the
children OF the past generation. If an
heirloom of this kind can be made pref.
" and attractive, why should it not be?
The old chair metamorphosed 80 that
our sreat-grandmother would never re-
cognize it, perhaps, is a reminder of the
dear old people who endured many
hardships in those early days. The first
thing to he done to modernize the an
cient piece of furniture is to
take ST the old paint and
smooth the rough wood with
glass and sandpaper. After this process
has been gone through with very care
fully, a coat of the best black paint is
applied; this dry, it is rubbed down
with very fine sand paper and another
coat put on. If desirable, lines of gilt
are run around the legs, or wherever
they will add to the general effect. The
chair itself renovated, it is next orr a.
mented with handsome plush cushions.

elegant cushions recently made for n
chair of this kind were of gensd'armes
blue plush. The one for the back of the
chair had two sprays Of g%olden.rod with
ferns and bright colored maple leaves
embroidered on it in arrasene. The
whole effect was charming and the old
chair chair compared favorably with its
elegant neighbors.

Study Your Farms.

Rich or poor, humble or ambitious,
the farmer ought to study closely what
will best suit his farm, examining close
ly the points and qualities of his own
cattle and those of his neighbors. If
he determines d%airying is best for him,
he must examine the question of guam
tity and quality of milk, and its value
for the production of butter and cheese;
the time that the COWS continue in milk;
the character of the breed for gentle
ness, their pr~edisposition to disease,
and the. natural tendency to turn nutri-
ment to milk; the ease with which she
Is fattsned and value as q beef when
she is given up as a mixer, the pro-
portion of food requisite to keep them
in full milk or to fatten when dry. II
grazing is decided to be the main bust
ness, then consider the kind of stock
which the farm will best be- suited for,
the kind Of meat most in demand at the
greatest profit in his neighborhood, the
early maturity, the 4uickness of fatten-
ing at any age, the quality Of the meat;
the Dart on which. the flesh and Fat are
principally laid, and last of all, the
haraihood and adaptation to the climate
and soil. When q farmer wisely settles
all OF these questions, he will End he

Keep the Babies Warm

How to keep babies warm in winter is
always a problem. The best way is not
only to provide them with knitted or
merino underwear, but also will, little
sacks to wear outside their white dress
es. These a easily be made either in
~6ne-checked flannel or crocheted: thew
need no be shaped at all, but simply cut
in plain, straight pieces for back and
front, a space being left for sleeves. and
a narrow hem at the neck, provided
with a fine ribbon string SO that it can
be drawn to fit. The sleeves should be
made with a hem at the wrist so that
they can be tied in the same way, fitting
tightly to the little arm. Such little
;acks aad immensely to the warmth
and therefore to the comfort of the III
tie one, and it is impossible to eyeresti-
mate the value of warmth in the health
of small children. Circulation is SO fee.
BILE with them that heat must be induced
by artificial means. Lace caps for out
door wear, ven when lined, are scarcely
warm enough. Very pretty hoods can
be made by knitting in white wool and
trimming with swansdown.

The PRINCE and the Beauty

The American beauty, Miss Chamber
laync. continues to attract great atten-
ton from the prince of Wales, but her
native good sense prevents her head be-
ing turned with royal fattery, and the
young lady is nearly as friendly withthe
princess as with her husband. The
prince admires Miss Chamberlayne i'm
mensely, and indeed appears to have
taken the whole family into his affec-
tons. He declares that Miss Chamber
layne should have been born a duchess
that her manner and bearing are per-
feet, while her beauty needs 40 praise
from him. Whenever he Is in the same
place as the fair Americana (Which is
pretty often) he dimes with the family
nearly every day. The prince of Wales
is admittedly one of the most fascinat-
ing men in Europe. and the Chamber
laynes are evidently much battered by
his attentions. Miss Chamberlayne, how
ever, is much likedby other members of
the English royal family besides the
prince and princess of Wales. She has
just returned from a long visit to the
duke and duchess of Albany.

Warmth and Pure Air for Stock.

The loss FROM unnecessary exposure of
stock in western ATTITUDES amounts to
millions of dollars in this country every
winter, and the Importance of the ques.
ton Of shelisr for stock needs to be- adj
yocated. There is usually much loss ex.
posure OF horses than cattle, and the
former are better enabled to bear the
~1nclenency of weather if accustomed TO
it. Cattle are naturally sensitive to cold,
and While with a IN abundance of hearty
food before them they are capable of en-
during much severe weather, yet econ
omy requires that due attention be Civ
en- to the subject, and suitable means
for shelter and comfort provided.
Many farmers allow their stock to be
unnecessarily exposed in winter, from
mere carelessness and ignorance of the
laws pertaining to the health and com
fort of all animals. They need to be re-

London Letter to Pitsburg COMMERCIAL
Gazette.
It is a matter of current gossip in
court circles that Miss Chamberlayne,
who is, ! believe, q member of a well-to-
do Cleveland, o. family, still continues
in the good g1aces of the Prince OF
Wales. He is said to be on the most in
timate terms without ceremony, often
staying an hour or so chatting with the
American beauty, who, however re-
ceives him in the presence Of one or
bothsof her parents. When he enters
the room the whole family rise and
make Q profound obeisance. Then
ceremony is thrown aside and he is treat
ed as any other visitor would be. The
prince is admitted to be one Of the mos
fascinating men N Europe, but it is un-
derstood that the Cleveland girl regards
him simply as a friend, and knowing
something of the nature of American
ladies, | can agree with a society jour-
nal OF last week, which states that on
that footing his royal highness is alone
received. Miss Chamberlayna would
seem to be generally in savor with the
members of the royal family, as she has
recently paid q long visit to the duke
and ductess of Albany. Friends of the
family say that Mr.. and Mrs. Chamber
layne speak most enthusiastically of the
prince of Wales. They say that he is

Something About the AstOrs.
New York Corresponds ce of the Philadel.
mia Record.

New York Corresponds ce of the Philadel-
phia Record.
Look at the Astors. Only a few gen.
ersiiaRs ago they were butchers, selling
meatffaanyone who wanted to buy it;
now they are 'considered the most e x
elusive family. in New York. The Astors,
by the way, will celebrate the centen-
NAL of the arrival of the first Astor in
New York saMe time next month. Old
John Jacob Astor came over here from
Germany. a hundred years ago and set
up a butcher shop in the bowery, where
ne ade q great deal of money. The
brothers OF this original Astor were mu-
slcai instrument makers, and when the
famous John Jacob started in the fur
business in New York he had musical
instruments as one of the departments
OF his trade. Between flutes and fnrs
he made about $3.50, 900 in sixteen wears.
They were real merchants in those DAYS
and owned their own ships, and Mr..
Aston used to load his vessels with furs
and send them to London: from
London they would go to China and re-.
turn to New York with q cargo of teas.
1t Is said that he often netted as much
as $4,000 on a single importation of that
article. The greater part of his money
however, was made by judicious invest
ment in real estate. The Astors bought
property up town, when other people
were buying below Canal street. | be-
lieve they W as many as 500 houses in
the most thickly-populated uptown dis.
tricts. Most of their houses are built OF
graylsh yellow stone. and are devoted
entirely to renting. The Astor home is
Is now on Madison avenue-at least that
is where William 3. Aston, the senior
member Of the family, resides-and it is
bullt OF the same colored stone us his
tenant houses. Over the front entrance
IS a glass and stone enclosure devoted to
flowers, which breaks the monotony of
the stone walls and gives it a very pref
ty appearance from the street. Mr..
William B. Astor looks every inch the
millionaire. He is not pretty,
but he is distinguished looking, is tall
and stout, with a suddy complexion and
close-cropped mustache and longish
side-whiskers that grow straight down
from the ears. But Mr.. Astor is very
much afraid ofgetting too stout, and used
to walk all the way from his office, which
was in the lower part of the city-Prince
street, / think-up to his house on Mad
ison This is about the only ex-
ercise that most of the New York men
get. They dislike walking for walking's
sake, but will walk up or down town
once a day as a sort of duty. I fancy
they find it necessary, because most of
these bankers and brokers are high liv-
ers. and if they do not take some exer-
else are very apt to be visited with ills
that come fr.m high living. The wealth
of the Aston family now is said to amount
to $50, eco, 900 apiece for William John
Jacob, the two oldest. John Jacob has
but one son., William W. Astor, fam
iiiarly known as Willie, the present
United States Minister to Rome.

minded that the heat IN ali warm
blooded animals requires to be kept at
nearly the temperature, and that when
the weather becomes cold or stormy,
as in winter, some provision must be-
made to keep up the animal heat to
it's normal degree. This may usually be
accomplished by feeding the animals
heavily of strong concentrated food, but
it can be done much cheaper by provid-
ing suitable protection against the cut
ting winds and pelting storms. Fresh
air is the vital element of health, and on
the hills of our dairy counties the supply
from November to May is ordinarily
ample for all demands; it is, up to the
present writing, not controlled by any
combinations, or likely to be locked up
by a ring, but in many and many a sta
