Anolher story from the CrcIone.

An incident of Mondays tornado is re-
ported by n brakeman on the Wilmington
and Northern Railroad, who was over
taken by the gale ms he was going from his
work homeward. Seeing his danger, he
fell to the side of the railroad and held
fast to one of the track rails, and only
through his energetic grip was he saved
from being lifted by the wind. He speaks
of the cloud emitting strange odor,
which nearly suffocated him. In the ex.
treme southern portion of the county n
frame end of dwelling was totally des-
troyed, and in number of instances car
riages were picked up and dashed into

FIFTH AVENUE.

Owing to the absence from the city of
the majority of Fifth avenue residents,
the lack of mourning emblems on that
thoroughfare was noticeable until to-day,
rs compared with other streets. Thismor
ing, however, many of the finest residences
were appropriately draped by order of
their owners among them being that of
Jay Gould, at Fifth avenue and Forty
seventh street, and that of the family of
the late Ex-Governor Il. ID. Morgan.
AT 9.20 President Cleveland called his
cabinet together, and arrangements were
made for the order in which they were to
leave the hotel to take their places in the
procession.

The decorators had not been idle, for on
the front of many great warehouse We're
displayed emblems of mourning which
were not there the night before. But
perhaps the busiest men in the city last
night were those connected with the
street cleaning department. Every foot of
Broadway from the Battery to Central Park
had to be swept and thoroughly cleaned.
The hundreds of horses and thousands OF
men who did this work acted with such
promptness and efficiency that the great
thoroughfare was, this morning, in words
of Yankee parlance, ,as "clean asa whistle
Such was the anxiety of the department
to have the streets as clean as possible

SILENCE IN BATTLE. Silence is
never more ominous than during q
battle. Then 1t means that batteries
are taking new positions, battle lines
being changed and new plans being
brought into play. Let the roar Of
the battle suddenly die away on the
right or left and grim silence take it's
place, and those who are fighting like
heroes a moment before will turn pale
and tremble.
And under this harvest moon, with
the night breeze singing 10000 re-
QUEENS in the pines--with Heaven
looking pityingly down on the blood
stained meadows-with the torn and
trampled wheat fields burdened with
the dead and the dying, we pass the

Fences leveled--walls battered down
orchards swept AZ by a cyclone !
Blue and gray intermingled-dead -

For each Of these dead some one will
grieve--some home be desolated---
some other life desolated.
Cannon and musket are heard no

been stayed by the darkneSs. But,
with hands held up in pity--with

no longer seem human, 10000 wound

On the right---in the center--on

heard the groan Of despair-the call
for aid--the shrek Of pain, as the
poor victim seeks TO turn or to drag
himself within the lines.

A Coon PICKETT GuARD.--As an
interesting recollection of Gen. Grant,
Major Charles McCann few days
ago narrated the following to the
Richmond correspondent of the New
York Herald
Immediately after the surrender
at Appomattox Information reached
Major General George E. Pickett, of
Virginia, that Governor Holden, of
North Carolina, was about to make a
requisition for him as a fugitive from
justice, to answer charge Of the MUIR
der Of eight North Carolihians by ex-
ecution in the neighborhood Of New
berne, in that State. These North
Oarolinians were Confederate desert
ers captured in the Federal service,
who had been tried by court martial
and summarily shot for desertion.
General Pickett, fearing the pow
er of Holden ard knowing his inhu-
ence with President johnson and SEQ
rotary Stanton, took the train for
Washington in order to lay the mat
ter before General Grant, as comman-
der-in-chiefofthe United States Army.
Pickett was very naturally nervous
and suspicious as to the result Of his
visit, not knowing what course Gene.
raj Grant would pursue in the mat
ter. He Immediately called, howev-
er, on Adjutant General Rawlings
Grant being absent at the time--and
stated his case. Rawlings advised
him to call early the next morning.
It was a long and anxious night for
Pickett.
1.-THE next morning he took his
place promptly among the crowd of
visitors at army headquarters to await
the arrival Of General GIANT. It was
a long time before he oame> but at
length commotion on the stairway
indicated the approach of some one in
authority. It was Grant--army hat
and cigar. Pickett was on the land
ing of the stairway, ana a. Or. ~ Voc
about to pass he halted,
Dizing Pickett, said, exte,

shook hands cordially and vi,
ly. 1t was the first time the
met since in lS45, on Vanool
Island, and Pickett, when afterw.
relating his experience, said that
Immediately felt much easier,
"When it came to Pickett's time to
go in Grant asked, Rawlings, what is
it Pickett wantsY Rawlings at once
briefly related the case, when Grant
promptly and with marked emphasis
said, Rawlings, give hid full protsc-'
ton Then, turning to Pickett, he
said Pickett, come round and see
me. am busy now and cant talk
much Pickett thanked the General
and returned to his family at Rich
mond, feeling much happier man
than when he started. Nothing more
was heard Of Holden's demand for
Pickett"

Gapss In Chfckeu..

I have seen of late many articles to
the effect that gapes in chickens could
not be cured, while once in q while
person has suggested something that
might possibly cure it. What pro.
duces the gapes 10 not generally un-
derstood. But If people would stop
to think and examine the cause, they
would see that IT, can readily be cured.
The gapes are produced by small
worms about one inch long, in the
windpipe, with a sort Of feeler about
one-fourth the length Of its body,
which circles around the pipe and
produces the hard gasping for breath
which is called the gapes. Unless this
worm Cor worms, as have often taken
out FIVE or six is removed, it will
surely cause death. tanr f8
To get rid Of them, get half-pint

where you can get il easily. Then
get a small feather from the wing OF a
grown fowl, strip the feather from the
quill, all but little on the small end,
put it into the oil and leave it there
until you have your chicken ready.
Hold him in your left hand, with his
head between the forefnger and thumb,
press them gently together, and you
have him with his bill wide open.
Then take the feather, which has be-
come well saturated with tho kerosene,
and being careful to insert it into the
windpipe, and not the throat, push il
gently down the pipe until you are
sure Of reaching the bottom. Twist
it around once or twice and pull out

any remain the chicken will soon

The disease commonly known as
"hollow horn" has no immediate con-
nection with the horns, as animals
without horns manifest the same symp-
toms, The disease in question Is the
result Of inflammation extending from
the mucous membrane lining the nos
trils, into the sinuses Of the skull and
horns, there being direct oommuni-
cation between these parts. Debility,
improper and insufficient food, ex-
posture, and all other causes that tend
to weaken the system, may give rise
to the condition. The treatment must
then be such as to counterfeit this de-
ficiency, and should consist Of good
nursing, Keep the animal in dry,
warm, well ventilated quarters, pay
particular attention to carding and
brushing, give nourishiDg food, and
little physic, If necessary. Rub the
spine frequently. Boxing the horns
is useless and barbarous, and il TO be

The Age of Horses.

A closely observing horseman gives
different rules for determining the age
of horses, extending to thirteen years.
They are as follows:
At one year the colt has q full set of
temporary front teeth, which are short,
round, and very white. At the age of
two the colt sheds two center front teeth
above and below, and horse teeth make
their appearance. At three -four others
are lost, one on each side of the first.
At our the corner teeth drop out. At
the age of five the new horse teeth at the
corners are up even with the others; the
mouth is full and the tushes appear. At
six the cavities or cups in the center will
be nearly worn away and the tushes are
up full, white and sharp. At seven the
cups disappear from the front middle
teeth, being brown curved lines. At
eight the cups are all out save the corner
ones. At nine all the teeth are full,
shut even, and present a fair appear.
ance. At ten the teeth turn yellow or
brown, the tushes are either blunt or
very long, the gums shrink away, giving
the teeth a larger appearance. At eleven
the teeth are black and foul and the
gums form points between them. At
twelve the upper teeth begin to over
hang the lower ones. At thirteen the
front teeth thicken and assume a TRAN
gular shape.
When older than this but very little
dependence can be put upon the appear
ance of the mouth. From this period
on the teeth grow more foul and long,
and are worn flat from side to side, the
under lip drops, and the gums appear to
dry up and recede.
A horse has forty teeth, twenty-four
grinders, four tushes and twelve i~ncisors
or nippers. The colt is born with eight
double teeth; at about two months of
age four more appear, one upon each
jaw. At one year four more come, and
at the age of two -four others, and at
three four more, making the mouth full
-twenty-four grinders.

entire country looked as though it had a
coating of blood. In the slang of to-day
the world was ''painted red" The
cause of the peculiar color was explained
by the fact that tons of dust had fallen.
and the red hue was the natural tint of
peroxide of iron. Nor was the color of
these rains confined to red. In 1916 a
yellow rain fellin France. and so alarmed
all the inhabitants that it is said that
wild animals took to the towns, and ut
terly lost their fear of man. This rain is
said to have originated in South Amer
lea, and Ehrcnberg estimated that hun
dreds of tons of organic matter was de.
posted about the surrounding country.
This must have crossed the Atlantic in
some extremely high current. The yell
low pollen of plants at times causes what
is known as yellow fog. and that this
coloring agent is carried along through
the air great distances the writer can
testify, as in 1888 the rocks on certain
parts of the Maine coast appeared Gov
cred one morning with a yellow powder
that resembled sulphur, and not a few
fishermen thought it was, but the micro
scope showed it to be pollen, and inves-
tigation proved that it must have blown
several hundreds of miles. - Cincinnati
