A Question of Anteceients.
From the Philadelphia CALL


g You know, ma. that in Philadelphia
people always ask who ones GRANDPA
Their was, and as am going there soon
you must tell me. Was my GRANDPA
Their judge, or governor, or presi-
dent, or anything?"
"Well DO, nay dear. He became
very rich, though, and You may say he
had something to do with banks
"But what was his profession or
trade ?"
Oh, never mind about that"
But those Philadelphia people will
ask me, you know"
Well, the only trade he ever learned
was shoemaking"
"Shoemaking Oh, well, he got rich,
so that is all right.
Yes; he made shoes a great many
years. He learned the trade and worked
at it in penitentiary, but you need not
mention that"

The Chemistry of the Stomach.

AS in the most delicate processes of the laborato
ry, 1T is essential that the reagents employed Il
produce chemical changes in matter should be un
contaminated, so also 1t is imperativey necessary
that the fluids Of the stomach, which act chemically
upon the food. should be perfectly pure. When the
stomach is acid IL is because these fluids vtiated
or diluted. Similarly, other forns indigestion
arise from efficiency of the chemical properties OF
the gastric juices. The most direct and agreeable
way 10 restore their purity and improve their quail
ty, is to take before each meal wineglassful of
Hostetters Stomach Biters, which corrects acidity
renders digestion complete and painless and over
come the constipation which it produces The
nervousness and weakness resulting from chronic
dyspepsia, also disappear under its influence

Getting Rich ON Squirrel Scalps.

Il. Dawley is in the sqrirrel-destroy-
ing business. He hires four men. His
reward is 5 cents bounty for each scalp,
paid by the county. He assigns his
men TO different districts. Farmers
pay the men 81 day and board for 60
ing over their ranches. That pays ex-
penses, and the bounty on the scalps is
largely profit. Dawley has a poison
that knocks the squirrels out the first
round, and generally before they can
get into their holes. He says he has
scalps enough on hand to clean ont the
squirrel and gopher bounty fund. He
presents his scalps only as fast as there
IS money to pay the bounty. He has
81, 600 worth of scalps, awaiting an in
crease IN the fund.

Agriculture IN Alaska.

ttrOn the san francisco Bulletin.
Tue vlsi or TO Alaska is at once struck
by the luxuriaDce of the vegetation, aud
is apt to hastily draw the inference that
farming would be successful. But there
are two obstacles IN the way. In the
first place, the surface of southeastern
Alaska is exceedingly mountainous. At
Bartlett's Bay, near the entrance OF
Gracier Bay, there Is an extent Of COM
paratively level land, but no expert
meDts have yet been made TO ascertain
It's capabilities, But even were the land
all that could be desired the climate
would be against the success of any
such experimt III. The average humber
of rainy days is two hundred ard forty
FIVE, and the average rainfall is not con
fined to any one portion OF the year, but
even III July or August ten consecutive
days OF tair weather are exceptional. 1t
will be readily seen that fruit or crops
have no chance to ripen. Near Juneau
hay has been raised this year, but even
In the latter pert OF Jnly it was not
ready to cut. Such vegetables as pota-
toes>and turnps have been raised with
fam success at Sitka and Fort Wrangle,
but these places are still dependent up
on the more southern countries for sup.
plies. Salmonberries, biueberries,
Gran berries, whortleberries, end many
others grow abundantly in Alaska, and
some have been exported to San Fran
cisco.
The interior of Alaska is a large
plain, covered with wild grasses four or
five feet nigh. The country Is well
adapted for grazing, if the herds can be
we'll protected from the severe winters.
Near the coast several small herds of
cattle have grazed for several years and
are found to do very well. A few years
ago Mes-rs, Faikner, Bell a. Co. ex.

Planting EnreSts

A writer IN the American journal OF
Forestry, IN pointing out the requisites
for success IN stocking artificial forests,
lays down two very important essentials,
namely, thorough preparation of the
soil AID the selection OF healthy and Wig
orous plauts. Prairie and other land is
to DE very thoroughly plowed and hal
rowed and reharEowed till reduced to q
complete stats Of pUlverization. 1t will
do no harm to plant the ground thus
prepared for one season with corn aud
potatoes, IN order to continue and per-
feet lis condition. The young trees be-
fore setting out should be well examined,
the writer asserting, no doubt with
truth, that very large percentage of
all the forest trees planted on the north
western parties are practically dead be-
fore tuey are set out. This is especially
true OF evergreens, and the trouble Is
aggravated by the fact that many plant
ers do not know a dead evergreen from
live one, and set out much stuff which
Is only fit for the brush heap. This re-
mark viii apply to other than forest
planting, Judging from the number of
dead evergreen trees all through the
country wlthia a few months after trans
planting. There is great deficiency IN
the proper and intelligent care of young
trees from the moment they are lifted
from the nursery row till well and prop
erly fixed 10 a mellow soil where they
are to remain; and the remedy appears
to be line upon line until owners aud
their employees understand that trees are
to be treated with care equal to that
given to young animals, and that they
cannot be thrown about and exposed to
the air at the roots with impunity. No
planter should value himself on his skill
until he can take up and set out thous-
| and or even ten thousand young trees
without single lost one, for il all have
q good aud equal chance none will die.

Penetrating Qualities

The penetrating qualities of petroleum are
wen known to those who have any knowledge
OF It's properties at all. The common wooden
barrel will not hold If, and it runs through
stone jugs like flour through sack; in fact,
the penetrating properties of crude oil is what
makes It SO valuable as hair producer Car
boline is nothing but crude oil deprived OF its
odor and color

The Impudent InterIOper.

A Washington Post writer tells the
following incident which occurred when
Hale. of New Hampshire, and Foote, OF
Mississippi, were In the senate: Foote
was bald-beaded, with a venerable
fringe OF snowy white hair running
around the base of the shining dome OF
his skull. One day he startled the sen-
ate by walking In with dead black
curly wig covering his head. Hale arose
at once TO a question of the highest
privilege" He said, in explanation that
the senate was too familiar with the ven
erabld and distinguished features OF she
senator from Mississippi to be 70. one
instant de ceived by the impudent aud
audaeious interloper, who, upon the ba-
Sis of mere facial emblance to Mr..
Foote, had introduced himself into the
senate and into the very seat of the ven
cradle senator. "Loob," said be, amid
great laughter, sat this youthful I'M
postor," aud then, with a characteristic
flourish Of satirical suggestion, the New
Hampshire senator moved the appoint
ment of q committee TO investigate the
case. When he concluded, Foote turned
very coolly toward Hale, and, lifting his
black wig from bis head, said: Do
you recognize me now? Do you think
il necessary to have special commit
tee ?" Hale withdrew his motion.
MAN on the cars having several thou
sand dollars In greenbacks in his possess
sion, and fearing to 60 to sleep sitting in
his seat, on account of seeing some s:.s-
picious individuals in his neighborhood,
slyly slipped his money into the Bible
belonging to the train, and on the fol-
lowing morning woke up to find his cap
ital gone, and to learn that the men who
slept with their cash in their pockets
hadn't lost cent. This fable teaches
MS that while it is a good thing TO be
Just sharp enough, it is very dangerous
to be- too smart, and that when the smart
man gets left, he is the most colossally
left man that ever was left.
