lison, Window and Randall are not gray,
but Edmunds looks like - seventy. He
is bald headed, his beard and what Is
left Of his hair are white, ne has the
dyspepsia and he is stopped and perma-
nsntly old in every way. Conkling was
also born in 1923. Logan has never told
bis age and gets angry when any n
talks about it. He cannot be far from
sixty. Sam Cox was born in 1924.
Grant was born in 1922. Don Cameron
was born in 1888, and John Mitchell
(they are the senators from Pennsyl-
v~ania), was born in 1888. Mr.. Arthur's
age is not far from the other statesman

who is still a very young man as you
will see by the figures-the only way of
testing it.

Mrs. Robert l.. Stuar. is the w~ealthiest
widow i'm New York, excepting Mrs. A.
T. Stewart. She is a Presbyterian of the
old and uncompromising kind. On
picking up her morning paper, she was
shocked by a report of ln%gcrsoll's bias
phemy, and she at once summoned her
pastor, the Rev. John Hall, TO a confer
ence on the suppression of such reading
matter. She was rather astonished to be
informed that her desire was impractic-
able. News is news" said the minister.
The next best thing that occurred to her,
and which her advisor deemed feasible
to some extent, was to use a printing
press in direct opposition. She set
aside a fund Of $4,000 for the Is
sue Of tracts in refutation Of Ingersoll's
doctrine. Such is the story told among
her acquaintance. Publicity is not
desired in the matter, and pains have
been taken to keep the project AS much
out Of sight as possible. But whenever
and wherever Ingersoll lectures, men
stand i'm front of the house with their
arms full Of leaflets, which they proffer
to everybody who goes in or out.
The replies to Ingersoll thus disseminate
ed are brief and direct, sometimes quite
personal, and even approaching his own
denunciatory style. Some Of them are
said to have been written by DR.. Hall.

president of n of the local horticultu-
raj societies in Switzerland gives, in the

great success with which plants are
cultivated in moss in these watch fac
tories. One great advantage in the use
of moss is the readiness with which
plants may be grouped in-large vases

occasional application of liquid fertili.:
,zers, will answer as well. Ordinary
sphagnum, or peat moss, such as is
used by florists in packing, may be en-
ployed but the writer prefers the moss
which grows in sheets upon rock and
around the trunks of trees at their base.
Wire baskets lined with this moss are
used, %iardinieres of metal, glazed pot
terry, etc.. taking care to provide suf-
fcient drainage. The liquid fertilizer
used on these house plants should be
without unpleasant odor; weak guano
water, solutions Of nitrate of soda or
sulphate Of ammonia may be employed,
and very fine -four of bone may be
mixed with the moss.

Woman Soon to Propos. Marriage.

Acorrespondent believes that the old
fashioned courtshlp is passing away,
and after asking what are to be the reg
ulatlons Of courtship during the tran
sitional epoch, answers as follows
"Nominally and theoretically the man
does all the counting, but really and
practically women are taking the mat
ter into their own hands. Enough OF
the restraint of chivalry has remained
to prevent them from openly proposing
marriage to the objects of their choice;
but there are q thousand ways in which
alady of tact may WOO, and yet not
transcend the bounds of etiquette. The
present method is q hybrid between the
one-sided courtship of knightly days
and the custom which will prevail when
women have their proper position in
the perfected society in the future. In
q word, courtship is now evidently
drifting womanward, by which we mean
that the ladies will constantly take a
more and more active part in it, until
in that day when oma shall have her
rights, the most important Of which is
marriage, it will be as common for wom-
en- to offer their hands to mel as it is
for men to propose to women. Oh,
lucky day for basllful bachelors!

An Execution in Vienna Rivalllng
that of Brooklyn in Horror.
ma Letter. in london standard.

Vienna Letter, in London Standard.
A ghastly scene occurred to-day with.
in the prison at Stein. This morning
a convict named Ferdinand Baumgart-
ner, who several months ago murdered
a prison warder, was to be hanged for
the crime in the courtyard of the pris-
on. The spectators who had assembled
to witness the execution included about
seventy persons, in addition to a COM
pany Of infantry especially detailed to
preserve order. The convict, who was
brought from his cell at Z o'clock, turn
ed a savage glare on the assembled per-
sons as he walked past with firm step
to the gallows. Arrived there, the exc
cutioner's assistants approached for the
purpose OF binding his arms. Nut
tering an imprecation he dashed the
first assistant down and began fight
ing with the second and third.
The struggle between the convict, who
rayed Like q wild beast, and the execu-
toner's men went on for several min
utes before the soldiers were ordered
to intervene. They soon oyerpowered
Baumgartner, and the executioner now
threw the roperound his neck. Another
terrible struggle then ensued. Baum
gartner, who caught the cord with his
teeth, kept his mouth shut and held the
rope with such force that the assistants
we're unable for some time to wrench it
from him. Even after they had at first
secured tho rope the convict seized it
again with his both hands and. uttering
loud oaths, defed them to carry out the
sentence. At length, however, the exc
c%utioner succeeded in forcing an irreg.
ular Jos on the mans neck. For sew
eral minutes the struggle was resumed,
and it vas only by the hangman using
his hands undergoing the convict down
that he succeeded in carrying the law
into effect, Baumgartner resisting the
last moment. During the night the con-
vict, who had refused, to see the priest,
had remained very quiet. He was a
powerful young fellow, and bad killed

q r Paragraphs.

It'll a bad policy for q farmer to cul-
tivate only one crop. II that fails he
has lost his entire years work; but ifhe
%cultivates several crops some of them
are almost sure to succeed, and some
will command o renumerative price.
A citizen of Iowa estimates that there
is enough consumed by the dogs of
that state to feed 100, 900 persons, and,
with the damage done the sheep inter-
est, cost more than the sum required
annually for educational purposes.
A COW that produces only half 3
pound Of butter per day will cost as
much for its keep as one that produces
two pounds. This difference in head
OF fifteen or twenty cows is sufficiently
large to make all the difference to a
farmers family between poverty and
wealth.-Rural Canadian.
There is no need bothering about q
cows pulse to find out if she is we'll or
not; simply look at her nose. If well,
it will be moist and cold; if feverish,
dry and hot. She is like a dog in this
respect. A staring coat or q hollow eye
are also points indicating trouble, and
as symptoms of disease they are more
to be dreaded than the dry nose.-
American Dairyman.
The English agricultural societies
practice n thing worthy of attention
lere. It is the giving of premiums on
a farm dairy as q whole. The judges
visit the farm and inspect everything
connected with the dairy. A farm of
one hundred acres must have at least
forty cheeses on hand at the time of in
spection. For such a dairy the first
prize is $50. Then ten cheeses selected
by the farmer, must be sent to the fair
for public exhibition, when the prizes
are declared.
Professor Henry says: Iwould urge
that u farmers give more oats to
young stock, colts as well as calves.
There is no food 8 easily attainable
that will so we'll correct acidity Of the
stomach and keep the whole system in
good order. To those who wishto raise
calves on very little milk / would say,
use oats and oil meal freely, and BY
studying the wants of those calves you
will be able to raise fine animals on a
small allowance of milk.

THE HOME CIRCLE AND FARM.
Homo Hints.

Cure for case of tic douloureux: Yolk
Of one egg beaten with two teaspoonfuls
of sweet oil; then put over a moderate
heat and stir, letting it harden; add
two ~teaspoonfuls of laudanum; stir we'll;
and lastly add two teaspoonfuls of
spirits of ammonia; stir quickly, and
apply at once to the part affected. This
I have known to cure several cases, one
being Of long standing.
A good plan for preserving a paper
is to sew together the papers Of each
month; no one will tear them up acct
dentally, as it will be evident to all
that some n values them and intends
to preserve them. Lay them in a
straight pile with the first number OF
the month on top; the last one at the
bottom, and sew through the backs
with strong thread.
Still another way to utilize the juice
of fruit which you do not need to put
with the fruit into the cans. Add gela-
tine to the boiled and strained juice
and make delicious jelly. To q pint OF
juice a little over a tablespoonful of the
undissolved gelat;ne should be added,
dissolve it in q little of the cold juice.
Then stir it gradually into the rest of it,
which should be hot. Let it remain
over the fire for three minutes, or about
that length of time, then pour into 9
bowl or mould.
Bright, Durable Rag Carpet, is used
on many kitchens. Where people dc
not employ several servants it is a great
saving Of labor. If it is thoroughly
swept every day it will keep fresh and
clean a long time. The majority Of
housekeepers do not pay as much at
tention to their kitchens as they should.
They should be kept scrupulously
clean, and should not contain but the
necessary articles of furniture. Some
people carry the craze for decoration
into their kitchens, and ornament the
walls with all kinds of gimcracks.
This may be we'll enough on a fiat,
where the housekeeper does most Of
her own work, and when she is a dainty
individual; but it does not do in an or
binary kitchen. Painted walls, paint
ed or rag-carpeted floor, and we'll
startched white Swiss curtains are what
are needed in kitchens.-American
Queen.

The signiaoano. Of ninrs.

1t is understood that agentleman who
desires to marry wears a plain or chased
gold ring upon the first finger of the
left or heart hand. When he becomes
engaged the ring passes to the second
finger, After marriage it passes to the
third finger. If, however, the gentle
man desires his lady friends to clearly
understand that he is not ain the mar
ket" and does not wish to marry ut all,
he wears the signet upon his little fn-
ger. This will inform all ladies that he
is beyond reach. With the ladies q
plain II chased gold ring on the little
finger of the left hand Indicates mot
engaged" or ready for an offer. When.
engaged the ring passes to the
third finger OF the right hand. When
married the third finger on the left
hand receives the ring. When q
young lady desires to defy all suit
ors she places rings-one on the first
and n on the fourth finger. A writer
OF the subject of rings says: Though
the ring of gold has long been looked
upon as a necessity in the marriage GER
mony, it is by nj means indispensable,
and civil marriages may be contracted
without it. The Puritans abolished
the ring, or. rather tried to do so; they
looked upon its use as superstitious and
of heather origin, hut the ladies Of that
persuasion has shown a decided perfer-
ence for it's continuance on account of
the individuous position in which o mar
ried lady might be placed for the want
of it. Wedding rings are placed on
the left hand to typifyo obedience. The
converse is probably the reason why
the engagement band is placed on the
third right-hand finger Of q fancee, who
still possesses a large amount of freedom,
and frequently exercises her power in
