A Terrible Mistake.

JoNEsBoRo, MAINE, March 12.-Yester-
day Colby Pert said huge wildcat was
prowling around his lumber camp, and
seizing his gun pursued it. The animal
eluded him for some time. AT last Pert, as
he supposed, saw the creatures head partly
covered by underbrush. Quickly leveling
his gun he fired. A deep groan followed
the report, and to his dismay Pert discov-
cred that he had killed his father-in-law,
John W. Feeney. The dying man was con-
veyed to the nearest village, but life was
extinct before his arrival

We had the pleasure a few weel

since of attending preaching at Fishing
Creek, Wilkes County. Rev. j. K.
Forston, the regular pastor, occupied
the pulpit. He gave us a good sermon
on the training Of children. The pews
were filed with an intelligent audience
and plenty of pretty young ladies. But
the belle of the occasion was the bright
eyed, dimple-cheeked beauty of Fishing
Creek. Long may she live to be the
center of attraction to large and ad-
mirable circle of friends, and may the
same sweet and innocent smiles that
now deck her face so profusely remain
through a long and happy life.-Ogte-

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Star says
Secretary Bayard has taken steps for the
formal withdrawal of all treaties pending
in the Senate. This will leave the Senate
with nothing to do but to pass upon nomi-

is that the session will not last more than
two weeks longer.

- Butter should always be churned several
degrees colder in Summer than in Winter. The
reason is that the casein0us matter of milk
more rapidly attaches itself to the butter
globules i'll Summer than in Winter, and that
this adhesion can hest be prevented by a cooler
temperature of the cream when churning is a
fact.
- Regarding the canning Of fruits and vege-
tables it is estimated that during the past four
years there were canned, of tomatoes, 2,22o, 900
cases of two dozen each, or $50 900 dozen cans,
at one bushel per dozen cans. At an average
of 400 bushels per acre this would make an
acreage devoted to tomatoes for canning pur-
poses of 2l,125. There were canned 100000
cases of peaches, or 100000 dozen, and other
fruits amounted to 100000 cases, or 1000, 900
dozen. Meat and poultry also furnished /, 300-
600 cases, or 100000 dozen.
The shot water cure" TO hard milking
cows may be applied in this way: Before milk
ing, put two or three handfuls of hot water
upon each teat, as hot as the hand will bear.
After giving the teats a thorough soaking, wipe
lightly with a dry cloth, or strip with the hand
until there is no danger Of the water dripping
into the pail; then milk at once. By this
means hard mixer can be MIXED i'll half the
usual time.

Sugar is fed to the COWS on q large dairy
farm near London, England, with good results.

food in the manger, instead of leaving part, as
cattle usually do. The sugar also improves the
flavor of the milk.
The average American farmer seldom
tastes any kind of small fruit of his own grow
ing. He is not yet educated up to the full en-
joyment of his privileges. He does not appre-
ciate the value of small fruits to his family,
both as food and medicine. He does not con-
slider that each fruit, in its season. contains
element adapted to the wants of the body at
that time, and that free use of each would
save much suffering, and perhaps large amount
of doctors bills. Neither does he realize that
when he neglects to provide himself and family
with these health-giving fruits he is respon-
sible for the bad results.
commissioner Colman has Just established
in the Agricultural Department a bureau whose
business it will be to investigate all questions
affecting the interests of the dairy. In con-
nection with this matter il is stated that one
of the scientists of the Department has already

MIR. HAGGIN's HORSES.
SOLID FOR SILVER.
That's Callfo1 MAS Reai Reason for Op-
posing Half Eagles.

SAN Francisco, October 1O'-An order
from the Secretary of the Treasury at
Washington to the superintendent of the
United States Branch Mint to coin nothing
but half eagles creates great dissatisfaction
among bankers and business men in this
city. The following telegram, signed by
John Mckee, president OF the San Fran
cisco clearing house; H. L. Dodge, president
OF the Chamber of Commerce; j. B. Stetson,
president OF the Board of Trade, has been
sent to the Secretary OF the Treasury:
1.-The Superintendent OF the Mint here will
pay half eagles only in return for deposits
OF gold bullion. There is already surplus
of this denomination in circulation on tlis
coast and further issues by the Mint will
great tly Inconvenience the public. A larger
gold coin il wanted. We respectfully re-
quest that you order the resumption of
the coinage and payment OF double eagles
in return for deposits OF gold bullion at
THIS mint"
The late large arrivals here OF Australian
gold bars and sovereigns which have been
recoined have largely added 357! to the pleth-
claim the right to say W to the the Mint what de-
nomination of coin their bullion shall be
coined in. Preference is given to the double
gle it being more convenient and more IN
accordance with the requirements OF the
trade on the Pacific Coast The cost OF
coming one $50 piece is less than coming
four So pieces, while the proportonate loss
from usage is also less. Another strong
argument against smaller gold coinage is
that it interferes.with the silver circulation.
COMES DOWN GRACEFULLY.
It is just learned this evening tha the
Secretary OF the Treasury at Washington,
has telegraphed instructions to the super
intendent OF the mint in this city to max
the coinage for the mex month (November),
one-third half eagles and two-thrds double
eagles.
