A Story of Thurlow Weed.

The late Thurlow Weed, who was
sometimes called "The Priam of the
Press" because he was thefather ofso
many newspapers, once told me an in
teresting incident of his life which has
been inadvertently omitted from his
memoirs. 1t was during the war OF
1912, when he was living in Coopers-
town, N. Y, the home of the yet I'M
hedged novelist, and was setting type
as q journeyman printer. II was 10
years old, and I fell in love with Cath
crime Ostrander, my landlady's
daughter, two years younger than I
was. Her folks objected. very prop
erly, to her marrying a strolling print
er, without money or anything else,
and agreed to wait
"About this time got into a bad
scrape. I, with three other young fell
flows, who were rather hard lot, was
arrested on complaint Of four girls
whom we met a IA prayer-meeting. I
had never seen them before, but we
walked home with them, and they
made charge Of improper conduct
against us ALL The others got bail,
but had no rich relatives and pre-
pared to 60 to jail. At the examin-
alton told the Justice I had no law
yer and no money to pay one, when to
my great surprise, a leading attorney
of the town, whom [ had never spoken
to and did not know, stepped forward
and gave bail for me and offered to de-
fend me- It was Ambrose l.. Jordan.
Twas delighted. I did not go to Jail,
and at the trial the girls voluntarily
declared that was not a party to the
offensive transaction. left town for
while, but came back in a year or
two and Catharine Ostrsnder accepted
me and we were married. never for
got Jordan.
"Some fifteen years after that, when
Twas in Albany in a position Of some
influence, we were making up the Wing
state ticket in convention. The prin-
cipal officers had been placed in NOM

was made our candidate and elected.
"When he came up to Albany he
said tome 'Ihave some conscientious
scruples about accepting this office.
You gave it to me because defended
you in Cooperstown when you wanted
q friend"
"'Not entirely or exactly I said. i
merely reasoned that man who would
come to the rescue of an unknown and
penniless youth for the sake of seeing
justice done had the right ideas to
make good attorney general
"'Well, he answered, I am not en-
titled to the credit you give me for
either sagacity or right feeling. Igave
bail for you and defended you simply
because Catharine Ostrander came and
made fuss about you and wouldn' t
give me any peace till did it. Better
appoint your wife Encouragement.

in the matter. She had never told me
during all those happy married years. y

Shelf characterization.

A narrow shelf or simple bracket
placed over a doorway and painted
the color of the woodwork of the room
is a pleasing and artistic addition, and
can be easily put up by any carpenter.
A few pieces OF pottery, good IN color
and shape, though not necessarily rare
or costly, may be grouped upon this
shelf, forming a very effective decora-
ton at a very moderate cost. A
PLAGUE of beaten ass,which any one
can make with little skill and prac-
tice, an olive jug, a slender vase Of
brilliant yellow Japanese crackle and
a clouded blue-gray jar, which, after it
is emptied Of it's contents in the kitch-
en-, is worthy of being promoted to the
position of artist bric-a-b rac,
will make an effective combination of
color and shape which will be q con-
tinual pleasure.

An AnlaZOn'S Land.

Adventures in New Guinea Port
Moresby / had heard of a woman's
land, land where Only women-per
feet Amazons-lived and ruled. These
ladies were reported to be excellent
til]ers Of the soil, splendid canoeists
in sailing or padding, and quite able
to hold their own against attacks Of
the sterner sex, who sometimes tried
to invade their country. At the east
end they knew nothing of this woman's
land, and nowhere east of Hula have
I ever heard it spoken of. To find SO
interesting community was of great
moment, and everywhere we went we
inquired, but only to be laughed at
by the natives; sometimes asked by
them, Chow do they continue to ex-
ist?' But that, too, puzzled us. As
no part Of the coast from East Cape
to Port Moresby would be LETT
unvisited by us, we were certain
to come across the Amazon ian
settlement; and when we did it
would be useful to keep q sharp
lookout, as have noticed that the
instigators of nearly all quarrels are
the women. L have seen at South
Cape, when the men were inclined to
remain quiet, the women rush out
and, as if filled with devils, incite them.
In the early morning we were off the
island and soon ready to land. On
crossing the reef we met two canoes,

boldly into enterprises which it takes
men years to prepare for. All our
girls can not expect TO marry moneyed
men; nor can they be sure, in the nn-
certain conditions Of our modern life,
that men who are rich to-day may not
be poor and struggling in a short year
or two; and surely these men have a
right to expect that the woman they
place at the head of the home they
have, in many cases, toiled hard to
win, shall be able to fulfill her duty.

bringing to it a full comprehension OF

far as it could be gained by conscien-
tious study beforehand, to perform
those duties we'll. 557 #..

& The Stables In summer.

From the Cleveland Plaindealer.
With summer stables the great lack
seems to be in the matter Of ventila-
tion, and the close barn in the morn
ing is often filled with the fumes Of
pungent ammonia and the odors Of
che floor. Horses and cattle are not
near SO liable to be frozen in the win
ter as they are Of being stitled with
foul air in the summer. There are
many farmers who keep stables scrup-
ulously clean at all seasons, and others
make spasmodic efforts to do so by
using great quantities Of lime, plaster.
and like material to absorb and 1skill''
bad smells. OF all material dry sand
or dust IS best, as the caustic proper
ties of lime are absent and there can
be no possible damage done to the
flesh Of the animals. An uncleaned;
stable floor IN summer soon becomes
the breeding place Of nn,lnlerable flies.

Diseases OF Cattle

Rheumatism, which is the result Of
a cold, may be treated by giving half
an ounce OF aloes, flor a horse; for ON
OK give q pound OF epson salts, and
afterward give one-ounce doses OF hy-
posulphate Of soda daily for two or
three weeks. Apply a mixture Of am
monia and sweet oil or any active lin
iment to the affected parts three times
q day. M. Il Nj. /.
/ A horse which is gaining in flesh un-
der any treatment is certainly improv-
ing in digestion, because all growth is
from the food that is digested. No
horse will do well upon corn and tod-
der alone. Some bran or linseed
should be added to the food. If half
a peck Of bran well scalded is given
daily no doubt q horse will improve
in condition very perceptibly. II
It is not necessary to use any medi-
cine or condition powders to keep cat
tie in good health. Ii animals are well
fed, clearly kept, and comfortably
lodged they do not require medicine OF
any kind. But when overfed, 'irregu-
larry watered, and ill-kept they may
need at times some simple tonic, and
the common condition powders will
serve useful purpose. "a
Lice upon colt or any other cattle
may be driven off by brushing the
animal with a. brush upon which g.
little kerosene oil has been rubbed.
The oil scents the hair and becomes
disagreeable to the vermin. Amy ami
NAL may be kept free from lice and
feas by regular brushing and curry
ing, and every colt, call, and cow should
be as regularly brushed as horse is.
1t is excellent for the health.
Scours or diarrhea in calves is al
most always caused by overfeeding
and indigestion. Three quarts Of
milk is quite enough for one meal for
calf OF any age, and it is better to
give an extra meal a. noon than to
increase the quantity. 10 treat OBJ
stinate cases Of diarrhea give only one
quart of milk warmed to 90 deg. with
one pint OF we'll boiled rice water added,
stirring in a teaspoonful of ground GIN
ger, O. tablespoonful OF sugar, and a
teaspoonful Of salt. Give this three
times day, with one teaspoonful Of
caster oilbetween the meals three times
in the day.

Guiteau's Bullet or DR. Bliss?
"a Casual Observer, in the Graphic


says:
deputy Collector Rockwell, a broth
er-in-law OF President Garfield, repeat
ed q lecture upon the career Of his IL
lustrious kinsman, in the course of
which he expressed the deliberate
opinion that Garfeld's death did not
result from Guiteau's bullet, which had
become encysted, but from the errors
in treatment of the attending physici-
ans. The many regretable things sur
rounding this distressing case seem to
have followed as consequence of the
connection with it of DR.. Bliss, of un-
enviable reputation. The connection
Of this Washington physician with the
case was never pleasing to Mrs.
Garfield. We are stating moth
ing Of a private nature when we
say that a this good lady not
only did not sanction, but from first
to last disapproved of the professions
al relations of DIR. Bliss to her hus-
bands case. Mrs. Garfield knew that
the general reputation of DR.. Bliss in
the District Of Columbia was not good.
She knew that his hasty conclusion
that the wound was necessarily fatal
was lnwarranted. tt was manifest
that the unskillful probing was based
upon that assumption and that prop
er treatment was too long delayed. IL
is now obvious that the latest and
best precautions against blood poi
soning were not at first taken. And

How Parents Can Make Childhood Sea.

Detroit Free Press.
The time OF childhood ought essen
TALLY to be a time of Joy, as far as it
lies in the parents power to make it so
for their children. We older beings
know full we'll what cares and pains the
years will bring to each and all. The
glad, awakening soul of q child sees
only a world Of sunshine, with fair
flowers growing by the wayside ready
to be plucked by the eager hands. The
fields, the. trees, and the blue sky
overhead are sources of unfailing
delight. Give @ child plenty OF
fresh air and sunshine, with full lib
erty to tire it's little. limbs in

and torn garments. A healthy child
,will not keep clean for ten minutes to-
gether, do what you will. They must
be here, there and everywhere until
night brings peaceful sleep. But we
must not think child has no sorrow.
No, they come and go quickly, leaving
small trace behind They are very
real while they last. The heart OF
sensitive child is strange and delicate
structure, and should be most gently
handled. Many an. unjust action or
unkind word on the part of the elder
is laid up and remembered by the
little one perhaps for years. Be-

Silver spoons that have become dis
colored from contact with cooked eggs
may be easily frightened by rubbing
with common salt. A lump Of gum
camphor in the closet where silver or
plated ware is kept will do much, good
towards preventing tarnish. Coal gas
and near the presence of rubber in any
form, are two things that cause silver
to. tarnish quickly. The rubber ring
around the neck OF a fruit jar will tar
nish a whole closet fullo of silver in the
space OF one night, while a siNerspoon

The flannel is sure to absorb any mois-

prettiest.

DR.. Flint is reported as having said
that many lives are lost by starva-
ton owing to an over-estimate OF the
nutritive value of beef tea and meat
juices. In typhus and typhoid fevers,
he says, there is no good substitute

A house at Schenectady was for q
long time infested by reaches and
water bugs. Last fall servant, hear
ing that toads were all andsdote, caught
three ordinary hop toads and put them
in the kitchen. Not roach or water
bug can now be found in the house.
The toads have become domisticated,
never wander about the house, and are
so cleanly and inoffensive that there is
no objection to their presence.
