PORT JERvIs, May lj.-Word was re-
ceived here this morning of probable fatal

small quarry village of Stairway ten miles
west OF here, last evening. George Smith,
an old man living in a dilapidated dwelling
not far from the Erie railroad station at
Stairway, has had living with him for a
month or six weeks young woman named
Anna Smith. Smiths wife died some time
agos,- He went to New York and engaged
AaF81 To- keep house for him. A young
man of Stairway, named Heitz, fell in love
with Anna About II week ago they dis
appeared and Smith came to Port Jervis in
search of them. he failed to find them
and returned home vowing vengeance if
they should ever show themselves at Stair
way again. Smith was in love with the
woman. who is twenty-five years younger
than he.
The Killing.
Heit2 and Miss Smith returned to Stair

Ell MaIldf.

About the middle of the ninth century,
boy of four years old became Imam in
Bagdad Six years afterward he disap-
peared, and his mother and servants as
serted that he had gone down into a
fountain in the garden declaring that he
would return when he had learned the
will of the Lord. Since then the Shias
certain sect of the Mohammedans. have
taught that he was still living and would
reappear with the Prophet Elijah, and es-
tablish Islamism as a universal religion.
1t has always been expected and pre-
dicted that the "Mahdi, or Guide, +"
would appear in Arabia But the man
whose followers assert him to be this lost
Imam. and the Mahdi, is an Egyptian
named Ahmed Suleiman. He was for
merly acknowledgement of the Soudan.
He was also dealer in slaves, ivory, gum
arabic and other goods, md headed the
slave traders in their rebellion against the
khedive, when an attempt was made to
check their traffic.
DR. Tenny, who is probably the only
American who has seen the Aahdi, de-
scribes him as a spare, tall man with
dark olive complexion and brilliant eyes,
and clad in a white robe and turban. He
possesses in a high degree that peculiar
magnetism which controls large bodies
of men. He protests that he is not the
lost Imam, but is the ''Vcice OF Allah"
sent to "lead Islam until it covers the
face of the earth" His followers, how
ever insist that he l. the boy who disap-
pcared in the fountain a thousand years
agC.
Almost every nation possesses the ira
dition of lost hero who still lives and
will return to lead it to victory. In Asia
it is Gautama, or Buddha; in England
King Arthur was believed to have entered
into a ship and sailed away, into the fog
and mist. There are songs and traditions
yet extant which show how long and
how faithfully the Britons chtn@ to the
hope that he would some day return and
drive out both Saxon and Norman in
va1er. In Spain, the great Saracenic
chief, Boabdil, was believed for ccntu-
ries, by the lower classes Of the people, to
be lying in an enchanted sleep, i'll a cave
with his knights, some day to awake and
sally forth. Even in this new country,
we have the old navigator, Hendrix
Hudson, who according to Dutch ira
dition, only sleeps in the Kaatskills. and
bides his time to come out and see how
the world has grown since he has left it.

The Roman Soldiers Grave.

During the laying of hydrant before
the library of the University of Vienna
a Roman grave was discovered 1t had
been injured or opened before, for the
bricks on the top were broken. The
grave is walled in with large bricks
bearing the inscription "Lcgio Decima
Gemina" On the bricks being removed,
the skeleton of powerful man, probably
a Roman soldier, was found lying at full
length from east to west. The head was
wanting. At the side of the skeleton
was found silver coin of the third cen
tury of the Christian era, some pieces of
bronze, probably fragments of a dagger,
and simple round cup of clay. The
bricks of which the grave is constructed
arc well made, some being hollow and
others fiat, and on many the sign of the
legion is visible. The skeleton and all
the articles found have been delivered to
Herr Weiss, the keeper Of the city arch
ives. This is ne first Roman grave
which has been found in the district.

Tho Treatment Of Dairy Cows.

Mr.. J. A. Smith a Western dairy
man, writing Of the importance of
iced and proper treatment of dairy
cows, gives some excellent suggestions
on this topic. He saws that dairymen
are often surprised at the light weight
OF their milk the next morning after a
cold rain-stOrm, through which their
COWS have suffered unstabled, and it is
only natural result Of such treat
ment. The cow does not eat as much,
Tor one thing; and another is, part OF
what she does eat goes to repair the
waste of her system in withstanding
the effects Of the storm, and that keeps
per cent. out of the milk pail, until
She has recovered from the effects of
such exposure. 1t is also true that
Cow, affected by short feed or painful
Exposure, not only loses in the quantity
.Of her yield Of milk, but in the amount
.Of fatty matter it contains. In word
mature has so organized the cow that
.shc revenges herself on her owners
pocket, for cruel neglect and short
feed; and farmer might just as well
.tly TO dodge taxes and wealth, as to
.esr pc the unwise treatment of cow.
.In point Of fact, when thus treated,
She takes the cream first, and gives the
|OWner what skim-milk she cannot as
|simiIatc. The only way to get a profit
out Of her is to fiji her so full that she
runs over, and take the surplus for
your gold mine.

Origin of the Sweet Potato.

The sweet potato is native off the
East Indies, and was introduced into
Europe by the way of Spain. When
early writer's speak of the potato (be-
fore the middle of the seventeenth
century, it is usually the sweet potato
that is referred to, though the Spanish
also introduced our common potato
from South America in the beginning
of the sixteenth century, but it did
not become popular us an article OF
food for m9re than hundred years
after, aud it was not even mentioned
in the !" Complete Gardener in l7l9.
Though they belong to entirely differ
.ent species of plants, the common
name of both would seem to be derived
from the botanical name (batata) of
the sweet potato.

The Artof Hay-,Inking.

Here are some timely suggestions on
hay-making which are not new, but
Are nevertheless useful and well
worth reproducing:
In cloudy weather grass dries but
Slowly, and is liable to be stacked or
housed without sufficient curing
therefore the wisdom, when practi-
cable, of cutting meadows in fair
Weather. The precaution should also
Be observed of cutting only SO much
grass at one time as can be properly
handled.
Fl Grasses dry much more rapidly if
cut after the morning dew is off than
they will if cut when the moving is
Zone. Rapid drying is an absolute
necessity when the best quality of hay
Is desired. There is nothing that as
NSiSts in quick curing more than good
tejder; farmers who have much grass
40 harvest will do we'll to provide
themselves with SO valuable an imple-
ment.
Thg true art of hay-making consists
IN curing grass Just up to the point at
Which it will do to put into the barn,
and no more, in order to arrest the loss
oi sugar and starch at the earliest
possible moment. Grass quickly cured
Is, other things being equal, more nu-
NitiouS than grass longer exposed to
shifting winds and scorching sunshine
Some farmers consider one good hay
day sufficient in which to expose the
grass before being housed, while
others require two, even three days.
Some prefer TO let title on the ground
Just as it was left by the mower:
others cure it in the windrow, and
still others cure it in the cock.
This difference of practice in the
method of curing results chiefly from
fhe difference existing in the curing
Quality of the various grasses. Timothy.
or instance, cures more readily than
herds grass. while the common grasses
require still longer time than the
herds grass. Timothy will dry sutfi-
Riently in one day if the weather be
ropitious. During the early part of
ne season two days are usually re-
auired for properly curing heavy
krass. Later, when the grass is nearly
pc it can be cured in one day.
Clover contains more water than

longer time to cure it properly Cur

exposed long enough TO dry the hay
which lies close to the ground.
Glover, as it lies scattered by the
mower, will be injured if the dew falls
upon it. Glover hay VIII not shed
rain, and hence when stacked out in
the fields should be protected either
with patent covers, thatching or 3
thick empowering of wheat straw.
Great care should be exercised in
properly forming the cocks, in view OF
wet weather, when meadow hay is to
remain in the cocks for an indefinite
time. First of all, do not make the
cocks too large, and let them be rs
sharp at the top as possible, with the
sides nearly perpendicular, and finally
provide them with cloth caps
