Grants Trast Fund.

It has been reported that the trustees
of the Grant fund of $3.50, 600, the in
terest on which only goes to General
Grant, had recently met and unani-
mously determined to allow the trust
fund to remain intact after General
Grants death, the incometo go to Mrs.
Grant. In regard to this rumor, Oil
yer Hoyt, one Of the trustees says, II
do not know that there has been any
meeting Of the trustees Of the fund,
OF that Mrs. Grant Is to have the
income Of the fund. According to the
terms Of the subscription of the $780,
900, however, General Grant was to
have the power to decide to whom of his
heirs he desired the $3.50, 900 togo. Isup-
pose he has made a will and ~bequeathed
it to his wife and family. 1t is virtually
his property, and it was collected to
be given to him, while the only reason
it was not given to him out and out was
that his friends feared lest sharpera
might get it away from HIM. To any
one who gained his confidence he was
ready to trust all he possessed. I sup
pose it grew out Of his training as a
military man, as in military life conf
dence in subordinate officers must be
implicit. 1t was one of General Grants
traits to trust his friends in that way.
The event proved the wisdom of the
trustees. Most Of the property is in
Wabash funds, not in the large loan,
but in mortgage bonds made early in
the history of the corporation. The es-
tate of D. D. Morgan is security for the

The Art of Early Rising.

Popular Science Monthly.
The proper time to rise, says the
Lancet, is when sleep ends. Doing
should not be allowed. True sleep is
the aggregate Of sleeps, or is a state
consisting in the sleeping or rest Of all
the several parts Of the organism.
Sometimes one and at other times an-
other part Of the body, as a whole, may
be the least fatigued, and SO the first to
awake, or the most exhausted, and
therefore the most difficult to arouse.
The secret of good sleep is, the ply
Biological conditions Of rest being
established, SO to work and weary
the several parts Of the organism as to
give them a proportionally equal need Of
rest at the same moment; and to wake
early, and feel ready to rise, a faint and
equal start Of the slcepers should be
secured; and the wise self-manager
should not allow q drowsy feeling
of the consciousness or weary senses, or
an exhausted muscular system, to be-
guile him into the folly ofgoing to sleep
again when once he has been aroused.
After a few days of s~elf-discipline, the
man who resolves not to doze, that is,
not to allow some sleepy part of his
body to keep him in bed after his brain
has once awakened, Will find himself,
without knowing why, an early riser.

Profit in Fruit Raising.

With all the tons Of grapes raised.
how is it there is not a grape syrup to

If you don't know that grape juice
boiled down to a clear syrup is the most

for consumptives, and to keep people
from getting consumption, to be eaten

merely cider boiled down, without any

Health In Rain Water.

The question, show may we get pure
water?" becomes each year more i'm
portant, we must look to the clouds.
Rainwater has no taste if rightly man
aged, and may be pure as the outgush
of the most limpid mountain stream,
and there is scarcely a roof which will
not intercept enough to quench the
thirst Of the jewellers beneath it. These
points he illustrates from suggestive
personal experience:
II built two cisterns, side by side.
One, six feet in diameter:and twelve
feet deep, received the ordinary flow
from the roof, and furnished washing
water. The other, eight feet in diane
ter, and sixteen feet deep, was design
ed to hold water for drinking and cul-
mary use. 1t was rugged with q chain
pump. The spout from the roof was
arranged SO that the flow could be turn
ed, at will into either cistern.
"When the cold November rain came
ard the windows of Heaven were fairly
opened, after the atmosphere was wash
ed clean, and the roof also, the spout
was turned into the large cistern, and it
was filed with pure cold rainwater.
This was a supply for two years.
"Never was the water more pure, linz
pid and tasteless. It Was cold enough
even in summer, and from strangers
who drank of it I often heard the re-
mark, What q nice we'll ron havs!'
When told that it was rain water they
were incredulous until they saw where
it came from, and then wanted to know
how I managed to have such delicious
rainwater.'

Cure for Pneumonia.

Pneumonia, writes q gentleman Ito
the New York World) who says he has
been twice dowa with it, can be cured
if the person ''will apply promptly wei
the lungs q poultice or draft made of
mustard and fax-seed meal, keeping
quiet and warm in bed. Prompt action
is of vital Importance, and there is no
occasion for waiting for the arrival of
an 'old-fashioned' or 'new-fashioned'
practitioner when so simple a remedy
may be applied by any one, and If
taken in season will, I think, always
be effective. In my first per
sonal experience, my determine
ton not to give up business, even for a
day came near costing me my life. The
case was neglected till an eminent Bos-
ton physician said that my right lung
would be of just as much use to me out
On the table as in the condition it then
was, a fact of which I was already pref
ty well aware, but the mustard and flax
seed poultice mastered the disease and
restored my lung to its normal condi-
ton, as good as new. In the second
attack, a year later, the case was taken
in hand promptly, the poultice applied,
quiet warmth maintained, and speedy
recovery ensured without a physician
being called. -

The New Hats And Bonnets.
From a Late Fashion Letter.

From a Late Fashion Letter.
There is little that isnew in shape in
bonnets, but much that is new in trim
ming. The small capote still fingers,
but shows many varieties of brim.
Some are curved in at the top and flare
like little outspread wings. Others
copy the Marie front of the Marie Stu
AIT head-dress. Still others show q
modified poke. All have a brim of
some kind, and are not mere crowns
fitted to the head. The hats are the
more aggressive in appearance. The
majority are so unlike what one
would naturally select for q modest
girl to wear hat it is surprising
how they could have been manufactured
for such use. The crowns are enor-
mously high and are still more exagger-
ated by the arrangement Of the trim
ming. The whole effect is bold and
very pronounced, and for such costumes
as will not tolerate styles Of this de-
scription the milliners are using all
their ingenuity to .tone down and mod
ify by o simple arrangement of quiet
materials and softly blended tints and
colors. The general impression of the
bonnets for spring and between"
wear is not very different from that
of the autumn. Indeed, the styles
might very we'll be interchange
able. The same netted gold and
embroidered crowns; the same gold
wheat and balls of pins and other or
naments; the same gold lace, and the
same dark shades of colors. There is
an entire absence, as a whole, of the
freshness that one welcomes and Graves
in the spring, and it is only a critical
examination in detail that reveals here
and there a quaint little bonnet Of pale
ecru straw or transparent lace, the
former trimmed with the new, wide rib
bons in soft colors and medieval designs
set up on the top Of the crown in loops.
after the Alsatian fashion, the folds
pinned down with small gold pins with
tiny hammered heads or scorn tops in
miniature. The interior OF the brim is
faced with q scant putting Of soft plain
silk, the tint of the ribbon ground, but
there is no other trimming except the
strings, which may be of velvet, and tie
at the side.

women's Head Gear.

The vendors Of bonnets say that this
seasons millinery is more tasteful than
ever, and so they will continue to do to
the end of time. Those dealers who
may be regarded as endowed with
prophetic wisdom insist on the superior
claims of the Milans among the straw
braids, with a kindly word for the Eng
lish split varieties, when the more deli
cate straw braids are being considered.
They also admit the possible popularity
of the small and medium bonnets in
Tuscan braids, lace and other fancy de-
signs, for summer wear. The materials
showed are scrim, a canvas-like tenure
of the softest and most beautiful wool,
tricotines, or stocking-net jersey tex
lures in soft wool or tinsel, closely
resembling samples of ancient manu-
facture shown by our grandmothers, Of
tricotines made wholly OF tinsel. EN-
broidered grenadines will bs seen in
French aud oriental designs, as well as
printed and embroidered crepe de chine,
Brussels net in black and white, en-
broidered with gilt and silver. Indeed,
Brussels net is found in all colors, and
many curious in~terweavings Of silk
and wool with gold, silver and steel
thread are fashionable. Ribbons are
to be from one to twelve inches in
width, plain ottoman and satin lined,
with plain colors. Striped and plain
satin ribbons from three to eight inches
wide will also be the correct thing
to year. Embroidered and plain
gauzes are from six to ten inches in
width. Embroidered scarfs of scrim,
surah and velvets will take the usual
place Of ribbons for hat trim
mings, and embroidered, printed
and bordered kercl.iefs Of surah crepe
and other silk textures are used for
making bonnets. the brims being of
fancy Tuscan braid, lace or bead work.
This season favors flowers in a remark
able degree. Among the novelties in
ornamentation are metalized bird wings,
birds and butterflies in various colors,

NOTES FOR THE FARM And HOME.
Shorter rhiuss.

DR.. Henry Stewart characterizes the
enormous cruelty of the Western sys-
tenn of stock holding, without shelter or
food as 20 horrible and gigantic re-
proach to humanity"
Take the weak sheep, pig or other
animal, that is sighted by not getting
its full share Of food, away from the
herd. and give it o fair chance by it.
self.
Mention is made in The Medical and
Surgical Reporter of n man who has
chad no bad colds since he learned to
sleep with open windows"
The Iowa Homestead hopes the day is
e when farmers will cease shipping
q bushel of grain out of the State.
Mr.. John Eastman, Milford, Mich,
has contracted to raise seventy acres of
cucumbers for the Highland Pickle
Factory, at 42t cents per bushel, de-
liyered.
It is estimated that forty thousand
sheep have died In Greene county, Pa,
in the last three months. The scarcity
of feed and the unusual severity OF the
winter and spring weather have COM
bined to bring about this result. Far
mers say that the wool industry has re-
ceived a backset that it will take years
to recover, and they are very despon-
dent concerning the future.
1t is not advisable to give horses or
cattle food in such q way that they will
have it always before them. They will
then foul what they do not eat, and,
eating when they are not hungry, keep
the stomach overloaded, and so suffer
from indigestion. The food is thus
doubly wasted. A good ration for a
working horse is three pounds of cut
hay and four pounds of ground oats and
corn given three times a day, with a
little long hay in the evening. They
will do we'll on oat or rye straw cut in
stead Of the cut hay.
Pigs require a little salt, as all other
animals do, but not so much as the
wholly vegetable feeding animals.
When pigs run in fields or wood lots
they gather many grubs and other in
scots and swallow some earth, all of
which contain saline matter; but when
they are confined in pens they need
some salt given regularly, md it is for
the neglect of this needed salt that they
are induced to swallow filth which
otherwise they would reject, so that a
supply of salt is not only heathful in
itself, but it avoids source Of unhealth-
fulness,

Ostrich feathers may be in favor for the
warm season. The styles shown now
may be somewhat modified later on, but

to delay their opening beyond May 1,
for the longer they put them off the
