some Of whom are connected with the
Northern Pacific railroad in official capac-
tiles, and were shown letters from some

be that the Cascade branch is to be built

ion that the work of construction would
be vigorously resumed early in the 81 ring

The New York Times prints hor-
rible story purported to be founded
on documents now in possession OF
the naval authorities at Washington,
to the effect that the missing men Of
the Greedy expedition were eaten by
their comrades. When taken from
the graves nothing was left of the
bodies but the skeletons, the bones
having been picked clean. One man,
Charles b. Henry, was shot for steal
ing food, and then eaten. All those
who died were eaten except three or
four who died OF scurvy. The men,
bers of the resculng party were eau
toned to maintain silence on the sub.
ject, but full report was made out
aud filed with the Navy Department.
Some of the crew of the rescuing ex-
petition were interviewed on the
matter, and confirmed some of the
stories.

Effeminate Dandyism.

Men appeared in Elizabeth's tine in
ruffs. plated, and plated rs daintilv as
any dame; they carried fans and
pocket glasses by which to arrange any
occasional d sorder in their dress Then,
too, they carried NUTS. and revived a
fashion of wearing earrings. But lest
it would seem that this arragement of
men is. piece by piece, taking from our
forefathers all title to our respect, it
should be mentioned that t) men orig
inally belongs the right to wear rufls
by virtue of original ownership. 1t was
only when ladies invaded masculine
privileges, and took to ruhs, that a
keen competition began, in which each
sex strove to outdo the other in extrav-
az ance. and the heads Of people ap-
cared as if b,rle on linen trenchers.
Earrings, too, were worn by men be-
fore the conquest. This cannot te held
to exonerate men from blame nor divert
us from the CONCLUSION that at certain
periods men have generally adopted an
unseem'y display and been guilty of an
e1eminate refinement in dress.
1t IS not so much to the discredit of
Englis hmen that they wore petticoats
and stomachers in early days, when
those things were recognized parts of
male co tune, as it is to the disgrace of
their descendants who took up the wear
ing of fripperies and f;neries proper to
wOmen-the dissolute cavaliers who,
after the restoration, pranked themselves
out in laces and ribbons and feathers
and flowing ourls, or the cravatted and
bewigged dandies and maccaronics Of
the succeeding reigns, who, W th their
garnished coats, lace cuffs, silk brcech-
es, clocked stockings and buckled shoes,
were at least as fine and certainly no
less developed than their fathers. 1t is
well that masculine dress has now dis
tinct lines of demarcation, and has be-
come generally dark and somber in
color. so that, although ''mashers" and
''dudes'' perpetuate edeminacy in man,
they have not at least the advantag S
which gaudy apparel and common gar
ments might give them in parading
the degenerate daintiness of which they
seem so unworthily yain.-Amertcan

His Dead Child.

The other day New Orleans man
had occasion to go over the lake. On
his way back, and when the train stop
ped at the bay, he noticed a man get
ting into the car in front OF him with a
little baby in his arms. After the train
had got under way the conductor came
and said Come with me; | want to
show you the saddle t, strangest sight
YOU ever saw and he led the way into
the next car There sat the man whom
he had noticed with the babe; his
precious little bundle lay quiet on the
seat in front Of him, and as these other
two men watched he leaned over and
looked long and earnestly in tie little
ia e, and then kissed the frail finger
tips he held so gently in his hand.
'Jhat babys dead" said the conduc-
tor. at died this II morning at the bay.
He couldn't bear to put it IN coffin,
becaus, then it would have to go with
cut him in the baggage-car, and so he
is ju-t carrying it home to New Orleans
in his arms" Stricken to the heart
core he sat there quiet and unheeding,
watching over his dead child, kissing
the fingers that would never again soft
ly clasp his, looking down upon the
white lids that had closed over the
bright eyes as the petals of sensitive
flower close at night time over its deli
cate heat, and the world was nothing
to h Nh. O. Tines Democrat

Point About Raising Turkeys.

The one thing that has paid the past
year is turkeys. They had quick sale at
Thanksgiving for 20 cents pound, and
at Christmas for u to % cents, and the
farmers could have had 25 cents at the
last season if they had known as much
about the market three days before
Christmas as they did three days
after. And this price is not exceptional.
The average for good New England
turkeys for the last twenty years, / be-
lieve, will exceed Is cents pound, if it
does not reach 20 cents.
1t q farmer has reasonable '1uckn-
that is, if he has as good luck as gener-
ally comes of intelligent care-he can
make l,C00 pounds of turkey meat for
800 easy, and sell the same for
$500, or, putting it better A flock of
100 turkeys viii not cost him in grain
feed out, over S75, if they are killed
before Thanksgiving, and they ought
to average twelve pounds each, viii h
makes 200 pounds in all. and to sell
for 20 cents a pound, or S24O. have
raised turkeys for many years, most
years with fair success, and, whatever
the success, they have always been the
best paying production Of the farm.
This is my plan: Keep over ten hens
and a tom; the hens the best birds in the
fall flock; part old and part young.
Old hens of good habits are to be pre-
ferrcd. Feed lightly all winter. About
March increase the feed and provide
places for their nests near the house,.
When they begin to lay be careful that
the eggs do not get chilled. Do all
you can to get your turkeys to setting as
early as possible. Early turkeys are
twice as kelly to live as late ones.
When the young come off put them in
little board pens in a warm place for
week or more, feeding them six or eight
times day with coarse meal and
chopped hard boiled eggs, mixed with
water, or, what is better, sour milk.
As soon as they are strong enough
give them a pasture range at first, then
turn them into meadow, but by al!
means feed them at noon, and to this
end drive them up to the hou e. This
VII get them accustomed to coming up
