Food for Travellers.

An Augsburg, Germany, correspon-
dent writing to the Boston Transcript
says:
"On most of the railways here, and
in some cases on several connecting
lines, restaurants are all under one
management, and you may order
your refreshments by telegraph and
find them ready for you on a tray at
a station further on, which you had
designated. But you must be sure
that the train stops at that station,
and that it will be at least forty min
utes going there, for it is only for a
meal to be freshly cooked that a tele-
graph order will be received. Thus {:
"The fast train from Hamburg to
Berlin leaves at II o'clock and stops
at no place longer than five minutes
until it reaches Berlin, $50. By l
O'Clock you begin to feel hungry !;
you are then at Hargenow. You
hand to restaurant boy who passes
along under the car windows to take
such orders, card specifying what
you will have for dinner and where
you will expect it. The number of
your coach and the letter of your
compartment goes with your order
by telegraph, say to Wittenburg. Ar
irving there, tray containing your
dinner is placed upon your knees {;
you eat and drink at your leisure,
pass the tray and dishes out at any
station where the train stops, or leave
them in your compartment; the
owner gets them in either case"

Feed Beautifully, but Economically.

Spirit OF the Farm.
If there is a time for economy in
forage and grain for stock it is now,
when the barns are full. So many
farmers think because they have
plenty on hand there is no necessity
for saving, and therefore they feed it
with lavish waste. The charge is
justified by observation and expert
ence. The best way to avoid that
charge is for the farmer to attend his
stock at feeding time, and see that
they have no more given them than
they can readily eat up clean. Go
into the stalls of the average farmer,
and it will be seen that hay is liter
ally knee-deep on the floor, trOd on,
and defiled so that stock will not
touch it. If only enough is given
them, and the manger is properly
guarded by straps across to prevent
pulling out, this would not happen.
Again, it is common sight to see
bits of ears of corn, partially eaten
and slobbered over, so it is unfit for
eating. AS rule, farmers give too
much corn to horses any way. A
larger modicum of hay, and less corn
and OATS will keen tha horse in for
healthier order, and make him more
able to do his work. In advising
strict economy in food, we by no
means intend to stint them in food,
which is very bad economy. But
simple care taken at this time will
prevent the supply from running
short, and save the owner from the
chagrin of running all about hunting
food in the spring or summer.

Care of Implements.

Spirit of the Farm.
1t is lamentable fact that a large
majority of farmers lose more from Il
want OF proper care Of farming tools
than from the wear and tear of them.
Repeated wetting and drying in
lures, sooner or later, any kind of
woodwork the moisture getting into
the cracks soon begins the work of
decay. This may be prevented by
the timely application of some cheap

How John A. Logan Escaped Capture

Lexington (Ky.) Press.
For the number OF men engaged,
the battle of Huntsville, Tenn, was
perhaps one of the most desperate
struggles of the war. Two companies
of Gen. Hanson's brigade and por.
ton of Gen. Floyd's command were
pitted against the command of Gen.
John A. Logan. Among other Ken
lucky boys who took part in the bat
tie were II. G. Payne and his brother,
Lewis ID. Payne, of Fayette county.
When the Federals were routed, Gen.
Logan was the last to leave the field.
He was hOtly pursued, and scores of
shots were fired at his retreating
form, and when he saw that he would
either be killed or captured, he threw
himself from his horse, and laying
himself on the ground, face down
ward, "possumed" death. The two
Paynes were together, and seeing him
fall, and recognizing him as an officer
of high rank, they hastily dismount-
ed, took his sword and papers, and,
remounting their horses, joined again
the pursuing party. Returning again
from the chase, the Paynes looked for
the fallen officer, and found that he
had either been removed or gone
away of his own accord. When the
papers were examined it was found
that the officer who had so cleverly
escaped them was no other than Gen.
John A. Logan. The papers and the
sword were turned over to Gen. Han
son. This is a true story, which, in
the great volume of war literature,
has never before found a place.
