A Vain Journey.

The gossips are saying that the widow
of Commodore Vanderbilt has Just been
refused by her first husband. You re-
member that she was a lovely Mobile
belle when first married, just before the
war. Her husband, who was "well-to-
do" If not rich, could not get along
with his mother-in-law. So, after fight
ing her awhile, he separated from his
wife, with her consent, Subsequently,
after passing through many vicissi-
tudes, she married old Cornelius Van
derbilt. She lived with him in luxury,
if not in happiness, until he died. Then,
it is said, she turned longingly toward
her first love. At her request he went
from his Texas home to New York. He
was glad to see her again but he did
not marry her. On his way back he is
said to have stopped here to ask the
advice of an old mutual friend. 'sOught
/ to marry her again?'' he asked.
'sFrom q worldly point of view,n said
his friend, ''you should, for she Is very
rich; but no marriage should be thought
of, in my opinion, unless mutual happi-
ness is its essence" 81 don't think I
care to marry her, said the former
husband; II think I could if I would,
but her mother is still alive. M z.

How 10 Build "A Rarbed Wire Fence.

:" My barb wire fence" writes cor
respondent of the Indiana Farmer, has
been severely tested by all kinds of
stock, from the road as well as from my
field, and nothing has ever been able to
get through it or even loosen wire.
My plan for building Is as follows: ! set
my posts Il use stone posts) sixteen and
one-half feet apart. At the end of each
fifty rods put il braces IN such a man
ner that they could not give particle
under any amount of pressure. [ brace
another post in like manner. [ used
each of those well braced posts to fasten
the stretching machine to. stretch the
wire as tight as the machine will draw
it, and fasten it with a staple at each
post, and put on six wiIes and one tx
II inch plank, between the twotop wires
to four feet high. This plank takes the
place of another wire and is q successful
warning to horses and cattle. Each of
these planks will make four upright
pieces, which | fasten half way between
the posts with staple to each wire, and
nail to the plank. A fence built IL this
manner is neat, durable and safe. My
fence is the admiration Of every one that
sees it. There are no weights to draw
it over, and the wind has no effect upon
1t, as 1t has upon plank fence"

/" johnny AppleSeed,"

Apples form an important part of
Ohio's annual products. The beginning
of the states immense growth OF apple
trees was made as early as 1901, by Jo-
nathan Chapman, who if he had lived III
these days, would have been called /" 3
crank" He was possessed by a mania
for planting apple seeds, whence arose
the name by which he was commonly
known "Johnny Appleseed." The
Granger Visitor thus describes the man
and his mission: In 1901 he visited
Ohio with a horse-load of appleseeds
which ne had gathered from the cider
presses of western Pennsylvania. He
planted bis seeds on the fertile spots, on
the banks OF the Licking Creek. In 1906
he was seen by settler drifting down
the Ohio River in two canoes dashed to-
gether, and loaded with appleseeds, dcs-
tined for the western border of the
white settlement. He often planted as
much as bushel of seed in one locality,
and then enclosed the spot with a slight
fence, or guard of brush, when he would
leave the place till the trees had In
measure grown. Planting one stock of
seed, he returned to Pennsylvania for
another, which he gathered from the
cider presses IN different places. He
first carried the seeds in linen bags, but
the dense underbrush, hostile with
thorns and bliers, made leatheIn bags
the only safe ones for his purpose.
Sometimes the bags found transporta-
tion on the back of an old, broken-duwn
horse, but more often on his own sturdy
shoulders He was a man OF vigorous
muscle, aud great endurance, or he could
not have stood the long, weary journeys
through the loEely and trackless wilder
ness for SO many years, journeys IN
which he was loaded like a mule ascend
ing the Andes. He always planted his
seeds IN some remote picturesque spot,
and there let them grow TO be claimed
by the settlers, whose homes sprang up
in the isolated clearings. In this way
the wilderness was made to blossom like
a rose. When the trees were large
enough for sale, Johnny either sold them
or left them to be sold by some settler
for him. In this business he was as
methodical as a merchant. The really
poor got trees for nothing, of others more
able he took old clothing, some meal or
anything he could use In exchange. OF
those able to pay he demanded money,
which he was seldom without. He usu-
ally took notes payable at some indei-
mite period. TINS done he paid no more
attention to the matter; quite often it
was the last time he ever saw the giver
of the note. His wants were few, and
he cared little about money. He used
what money he got in buying religious
books, which he gave to the settlers
where be stayed, and very often helped
poor families in need of the necessaries
Of life.

Don't Monkey with the Thermometer.

Superintendent Walling exclaimed, as
he entered bis Office yesterday: ct is
awful hot in here, officer; opeu the win
dow" An attendant obeyed the order,
and turned to regulate the fire. After
ten minutes he glanced at tie therlno
meter. It registered over 90. The mys-
titled blue coat shivered as he threw
open the door. Five minutes later
the mercury indicated the most intense
heat. With an expression fally as warm
as the temperature, the patrolman open
ed an outside door with bang. Amaze
ment gave way to anger when, on return
ing, he caught sight OF a Herald reporter
hastily Withdrawing a burning cigar
from the bulb containing the mercury.
Och, quit, quit" he cried; "do yez
want me broke? How the divil can I cool
thereon if yez keep fooling wild the Their

How the Creameries Gather their
Cream.

Having had four years experience,
says a writer to the Prairie Farmer, in
cream gathering, trying different
methods, none OF which proved satisfae-
tory to all concerned, we finally adopted
the following, which has proved most
satisfactory: Buying all good, clean
cream, no difference whether III deep or
shallow setting, whether twelve, twenty
four or thirty-six hours setting, patrons
doing the skimming. Our cream haul
ers are provided with pail twelve and
one-fouTth inches IN diameter, rule to
measure the cream, and book to record
the same. They are further provided
with & case containing sixteen quart
jars and dipper, for the purpose Of
bringing samples of cream to the fac
tory to De tested. Drivers are instructed
to mix the cream thoroughly by pouring
from one vessel TO another, as it cannot
be mixed evenly by stirring; then fill
Jar, label, and bring to the factory. This
jar holds, when filled, exactly one-half
inch of our measure. This sample IS
churned in O miniature ehurn, and the
butter is carefully washed and weighed.
The ratio Of butter thus obtained gives
the per cent. by which the patron S
cream is rated, until another test is
made, which may be the next time his
cream is taken, or the next week, or next
month. 4 patron never knows when q
sample VIII be required. Should pat
ron be inclined to be dishonest, it viii
very soon be noticed, and as he knows
not the day n0r the hour when the fatal
Jar may be presented for sample, the
