General Hartsuff, who at one time
commanded the Army of the Ohio, used
to tell q good one on General Manson.
When they were down at the front Gen
eral Hartsutf secured ten gallons of fine
old whiskey. The morning after it's
arrival General Manson rode up to
Hartsuff's tent on official business.
"Good morning, General; dismount,"
said Harsuff.
"Can't do it," said Manson; I have to
ride my lines"
4'But I have pint of fine old whiskey,
and"
"Hold my horse, orderly" interrupt
ed Manson, who was in the. tent before
the sentence could be finished. Manson
drank about half the contents of the
flask, and, handing it back. said:
'Put that away carefully; it is pre-
cious stuff, and the army cannot afford
to have it wasted" ~.
"All right, General; but you must
come back every day until the whole
pint is gone"
"Count on my presence said Manson
8 he mounted his horse, and he kept
his word for the next five or six days.
At the end of six days the pint flask was
still full, and when it was passed to the
General, he held it up and said:
"Hartsuff, have never been much of
a Christian, but this almost persuades
me, because it is like the widows cruise !;
it is fine whiskey, but great heavens,
how it does hold out for pint"

Many distinctive articles OF dress
and personal use have taken their
names from notable persons. Thus we
have the Derby hat and scarf, the
Byron COLLAR. the Wellington boots,
the Prince Albert coat, and the
victorine, peculiar fur cape named
after. Queen Victoria. Queen Eliza

lace ruff, and that Of Madame .Sonntag
to the comfortable knit Jacket SO
much worne by ladies' in cold wheath-
er. Louis Kossuth distinguished
his visit to this coun-
try by introducing into general use the
soft felt hats which were then called
Kossuth hats. The Gainsborough hat
took its name from the artist Gainsbos
rough, and the Re11bens hat from the
great Flemish painter The nameA of
Nine. Pompadour and Marie Antoinette
are associated with peculiar styles of
ladies' dress, and that of Mrs. Langtry,
the Jersey lily, with a tight fitting waist
now worn by ladies, called the Jersey.
Lord Brougham gave his name to a
species of cab, and Lord Lansdowne is
remembered by the Lansdowne collar.

Dr.. George shrady Of the Presby-

with signal skill. Bertha KistIer,

treatment Of the case was the filing up

Sometimes the doctor would try to per-

A singular feature of the case is, that
notwithstanding the suffering she must
have experienced, she has grown very
fat. She has been constantly the re-

of various kinds from people who though
perfect stran gers to her have become
interested in her singular and remarka-
bic patience. The gratitude she evinces
toward DR.. Shrady is immeasurable.

B Some Streaks If Moonshine.

: q
The Rev. DR. Willis, of Louisville,
KY, has been lecturing on the illusions
of moonshine, in which he tells some
truths and gets off some anecdotes: 4
The true mission Of wit and thun,or.
be says, is to be the spice of sensible
talk. An old preacher delivered q num-
Der Of sermons on Jonah, and even made
that dry subject. Said aparishioner::
IF the whale was as sick OF Jonah as i:
am, I don't wonder it threw him up, .
Moonshine, said DR.. Willis, is used to
express llusiyeness. Illusions attach
themselves to every ii passion, to
every faculty of the mind, to the
senses of the body, and TO all
periods Of our lives. An old gentle
man was with great difficulty persuaded
by his nephew to ride for the first time
on the steam cars In The car the old
man and the young one were separated.
Presently they came to q tunnel about,
which the nephew had forgotten to tell
his uncle. When they emerged 6rom
the darkness the old gentleman was
cropping his way through the aisle, with
his eyes tightly closed and crying out:

|. The best way to apply salt to paths,
to destroy weeds, is as follows: Boil
the salt in water, one pound to one gal

Eu1asc ulation ana Docking,

For profits sake we are forced to per-
form certain operations npon young an:
imals, as emasculation and docking.
These are far more easily performed to
ourselves and far less painfully to the
animals when they are young and their
nervous system has not become so acute,
or the organs have not become devel-
oped. I shall never forget how panied
I was to see some ram lambs a year old
suffer from castration. They were pets
and the operation was q severe one to
me, for they suffered far more than they
would have done i'll #slaughtering.
Since then I have always altered
and locked lambs when they,
were two weeks old when q knife was
not needed, nothing more than pair Of
sharp scissors for the former and
q sheep shears for the latter. And the
little creatures get over it in q few hours.
In emasculating an animal all risk Of
loss aud much suffering will be prevent
ed if the opening is made at the lowest
part Of the scrotum and 4 sharp knife is
used. The pms which always gathers,
in the wound will then escape freely
and the wound heals without unneces-.
sary inflammatio ion. II Another canton
may be given TO separate the cord and
the vessels as far up as possible, and to
do this by scraping them apart. This
prevents strangulation Of them IN the
wound which causes terrible suffering
afterward and prevents loss Of blood.

Moving Evergreens.

Mr.. ". D. Boynton inclines to prefer
spring for transplantirg evergreens,
but thinks "the when is not so impor-
tant as the how" and hs gives, through
The American Garden, these sugges-
tons in reference to the necessary care:
MY main precaution is to secure the
mould immediately around the tree that
contains most Of the feeding roots in a
tree Of small growth. have this lift
ed out carefully with the tree in the
centre, as little disturbed as possible,
and then wrap coarse sacking about the
whole, drawing it up around the trunk
and tying firmly. In this shape they
can be loaded into q wagon box
that has a thick layer OF
straw in the bottom and taken home.
They should he set out at once, watered
and staked. If they are to be shipped,
the mould must be detached, and moss
worked in among the roots and bound
around them, wrapping, coarse sacking
around the whole, and fastening around
The stem. The whole mass is then
moistened, after which treatment they
Will stand quite journey. Ii the
planter finds that the roots are at oil
dried up when he comes to set them
out, the tree may as we'll be pitched in
to the brushleap at once, for it will
sooner or later find it's way there.
Never use manure of my kind around
the roots of young evergreen tree.
Vegetable mould is good, but they
do not need rich soil. They should
always be staked firmly, for they offer
thick top to the wind, and if twisted
about, the roots cannot geta hold"

Curious Management Of an Estate.


A curious state Of affairs was dis
closed by an application made last
week in the Surrogate's Court at Albany,
to compel an accounting in the estate Of
Julia Kranz . Young girl who died re-
Gently. The application was made in
behalf Of Mary J. Freeberthuyser, o
half-sister Of deceased. Julia's father
died in 1893, leaving her $1,000.
She Was then only three
years old. Her mother, as
guardian, took # charge Of
the fund, and when she rendered an &C.

dead girl was in her debt $50. This
was brought about By her mother charg.

Rouse Plants.

House Plants thrive better in the
kitchen than in any other room of the
house, because of the moister atmos-
pherd that prevails here, as result of
the steam escaping from the stove Or
range utensils, In greenhouses similar
but improved conditions exist also,
which accounts for the comparative ease
fonnd in growing plants in these
structures. These facts point to the
Importance Of supplying some moisture
to the atmosphere wherever there are
plants, if we would have fine specimens.
Watering as freely as is admissible for
their health, spoonging the leaves all
over occasionally, and setting some YES
sells of water among them, are some Of
the easy ways of accomplishing this. A
suficiency Of moisture to suit the plants
will be not in the least injurious to the
health Of persons.

"My wife is the smartest woman in

Have you not heard such remarks?
Beware, husband; nature will have
her revenge, and if you want that
'smart" woman to care for you in your

Summer Dresses.

There IS nothing particularly new in
regard to the making of the thin dresses,
the only novelty being the occaional III.
PRODUCTION Of the exceedingly fashion
able waistcoat. Rutfled skirts, with
round apron fronts and sash drapery in
the back, are still best liked, and the
half-fitting basque with vest front is the
only variation from the belted waist
with yoke of embroidery, and usually
sleeves of embroidery also. Offering a
pretty contrast to thesa dainty and
deliberately embroidered dresses is one
of sheer linen lawn both simply
and oddly fashioned. A deep hem
borders the skirt, finished with
marrow drawn work heading. Above
the hem five tucks are placed, each
an inch deep and half an inch distant
from each other. with half of the space
or a quarter of an inch occupied by a
| band Of drawn work similar to that
heading the hem. Several inches above
this cluster Of five t,,cks a similar clus-
ter of three is placed, also with drawn
work headings. The belted waist is
| tucked both back and front, with the
hem in frons made for button holes,
| finished at either side by narrow Dor
ders Of drawn work. The sleeves are
also finished by tucks and drawn work,
and the wide sash encircling the waist
is made with tucked ends, similarly
! decorated The effect OF the whole
dress is very odd, and the design one Of
the prettiest displayed this season.
Some of the pretty sateen dresses are
made as follows: The skirt of the plain
sateen is side-p leated all the way round,
and above is graceful Langtry polon
aise, Topped high on each side, and trim
med from throat to hem down the front
with jabot of Oriental lace. The pol

divided one from the other by three or
four rows Of gauging, with draped
