FARM AND HOME.
Calling the Angels In.

We mean to do it. Some day, some day,
We mean to slacken this fevered rush
That is wearing our very souls away,
And grant to our goaded hearts a hush
That is holy enough to let them hear
The footsteps OF angels drawing near.
We mean TO do it. Oh, never doubt,
When the burden of daytime broil is DER,
Well sit and muse, while the stars come out,
AS the patriarch sat at the open door
OF his tent. with q heavenward gazing eye,
To watch for tile angels passing by.
We've seen them affair at high noontide.
When fl. rcely the worlds not Hastings beat,
Yet never have hidden them turn aside
And tarry awhile in converse sweet,
Nor prayed them to hallow the cheer we spread,
To drink of our wine and break our bread.
We promised our hearts that when the stress
OF the life-wOrk reaches the lOnged-fOr close
When the weight that we grOan with hlnders less,
Well loosen our thoughts to such repose
AS banishes cares disturbing din,
And then-we will call the angels in.
The day that we dreamed of comes at length,
When, tired OF every hooking quest,
And broken in spirit and shorn IN strength
We drop, indeed at the door OF rest,
And wait and watch as the day waneS on
But the angels we meant to call are gone!

A Nursery Song i'm a Stage Co ach
from the st. Paul Globe.


Somehow, in conversation with
Mr.. Murray yesterday, the converse
ton turned on Josh Billings, and the
city attorney told how he became &C
quainted with the daughter of the
great philosopher. at was the one, "
said he, "who married the man In
South America. | was going to Cara
cas- one day in the coach. it was a
long ride, and there was only one
woman in the coach against about
seven men, all Spaniards. Nobody
else could talk English, and couldn't
talk Spanish, so kept very quiet IN
my corner, dying to get into conversa-
ton with somebody. The lady looked
tired, and she held little baby in her
arms. Pretty soon, Just to pass away
the time, I turned my attention to
the baby and began to chirp at it. AS
is generally the case, the baby took
quite a shine to me, and when l held
out my hands toward it, it smiled and
indicated that it would like to come
over to me. took it and the woman
smiled on me a sweet little smile, but
didn't say a word. l placed the baby
on my knee and began to sing that old
nursery doggerel, Trot, trot to Bos-
ton, to buy loaf OF bread, to it.
| had hardly finished the first line when
the baby's mother exclaimed in the
purest English, ooh, I'm so glad you

came good friends, and remained SO

Normandy Cattle.

The cattle of the great French prov
ince Of Normandy bear no little resem-
blance to those of the adjacent islands
Of Guernsey and Alderny, while the
cattle of Jersey, which lies farther to
thesouth and westward, exhibit a kim
ship to the little rich milk givers of
Brittany. The Normandy cattle have
from time to time been introduced in
to this country through the port of
New York. While in general style this
French breed exhibits a notable uni
formity, in color the animals vary ex-
ceedingly. In general, like most large
breeds which have not passed under
the ameliorating influence of careful
breeding, they are coarse in bone, and
rarely fill the breeders eye as hand
some animals. Yet they are soft
haired and hided, yellow skinned, and
are generous and very rich mixers.
The butter of Normandy is famous,
and large quantities are sent to the
London market.

DEAD BUT ALIVE.
Singular Predicament of Young Lady
at Omaha.

at Omaha.
OMAHA, Neb., Nov. ia most re-
markable case Of trance sleeping, cata-
lepsy, or similar mysterious malady
Is reported from farm house six
miles northeast of Columbus, Neb.
The victim of the physical phenom-
enon is Miss Minnie Dishner, daughter
OF John Dlshner, q well-to-do farmer.
She is or was a handsome and intelli-
gent girl 21 years old, and a. general
favorite in the neighborhood. The
facts as related are that Monday
morning, the Goth of October, Minnie
arose and assisted with the washing,
but about noon complained of a severe
headache, accompanied by an unusual
drO wsiness, which became so oppres-
sive that she found it difficult to move
about, and which finally ovel came
her altogether. She lay down and at
once dropped off into a heavy
sleep. After several hours her
mother attempted to awaken the girl,
out the latter seemed bound by a
stupor. Her mother called and shook
her again and again without effect, the
girl seeming to hear and make an ef-
fort to rise, but helplessly. AS if by a.
prodigious effort of will-power she at
last struggled to her feet, opened her
eyes, which had before seemed hermet-
ically sealed, and endeavored to speak.
Her lips moved and the muscles of her
face worked convulsively, but no word
was uttered. Once or twice Minnie
raised a hand with spasm-like mo-
ton and her body twitched from head
to foot, but she was powerless to stir
from the spot on which she stood.
After a few more violent muscular
and evidently mental efforts as we'll,
she again fell back on the bed and in
stantly relapsed into performer coma
tose condition She has lain thus
during the interim Of three weeks,
her limbs rigid and cold as marble and
her entire appearance that of death.
She has neither partaken of food,
spoken syllable, nor moved muscle
all this time. But perhaps the most
peculiar feature of the case is that the
last few days the girl has been subject,
at intervals, to crying spells, at least
tears have trickled from her motion
less eyes and down her lifeless cheeks.
This, together with the beating Of her
pulse and her breathing, both faint,
yet perceptible, is the only sign of life.
Every medical device has been tried for
her resuscitation without avail. The
Dishners have kept the matter very
quiet and visitors are not allowed to
see the girl.

Bright Outlook for the Iron Trade at
ChattanOOga.

Chattanooga.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Nov. 1.-THE
Chattanooga furnace, which was blown
out for repairs, resumed operations.
yesterday. The iron trade here is
much more active and manufacturers
are encouraged over the outlook. All
the mills and furnaces in Chattanooga
are now in full operation.
MONTREAL, P. O., Nov. 1.-THE
German hands recently imported here
by a cigar manufacturing firm struck
work, yesterday, claiming that the
firm was not holdingto the agreement
made with them.
COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 17.-All the coal
operators of the Hooking Valley, held
a meeting this forenoon, with the ex-
ception of w. P. Rend, of Chicago, who
is reported as having granted an ad
vance to his miners who would all
be at work to-day. Operators
say that they have received no
information of an advance by
Rend, except at Straitsville, where
men are preparing to go to work
this morning, but drivers struck for an
advance to $1.75 per day and 9hours,
which has caused another delay.
Miners were only asking an advanceto
60 cents and operators here think that
the statement attributed to Rend that
he had agreed to pay 70 cents a
mistake as he could have no object in
doing so. Operators hold another
meeting to discuss the situation this
evening

ends can be kept at rest, and that the
fracture does not extend nto q joint
having extensive motion.
The planting of a small grove OF
evergreens near the barn as a prOtec-
tion for stock from wind, and as a
place for them to run, Is advocated by
all intelligent farmers, and 1t certainly
would be a very profitable and hui
name Investment.
No more valuable help can be pro
cured in the gardens to disturb and de
strOy insects than a brood OF ducks.
They devour immense quantities OF
slugs and other injurious pests, and IN
their continual ranging disturb what
they do not destroy.
ALL garden and truck lots should be
plowed twice q year, in the fall and IN
the spring. The fall blowing should
leave the ground as rough as possible,
SO that the frost can act on more sur
face. Hard clay soil can be rendered
quite mellow by this method.
LABOR is a necessity on a farm, and
the amount which can be expended
on q very small piece of land
proftably is unlimited. Young farm
ers remember this on the bright win
ter days, and don't 60 off to the store
and loaf when there is work to be
done.
To prevent the splitting or bursting
of cabbages, J. J. H. Gregory recon-
mends to go frequently over the ground
and start every cabbage that appears
to be about to mature by pushing it
over sidewise. Heads thus started are
said to grow to double the size they
had attained when about to burst.

Keep OF the Grass.

Many farmers are quite too prone
to let their cattle into meadows dur
ing winter thaws and early in spring.
The animals are glad to escape from
the restraint of the barnyard, and the
owner looks upon the nip OF FROST
bitten grass they obtain as clear gain.
But nothing is more ruinous to mead
ows, and even pastures than the hoofs
of cattle cutting and poaching the soft
surface. The forage they obtain has
little if any more nutritive value than
oak shavings. Let no hoof touch
grass land while it is soft and spongy.

the Corpse of His Wife.

the Corpse of His Wife.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 2O.-An
interesting story hangs on the arrival
at the Broad Street Station this morn
ing Of two men and the corpse of O.
woman. Tive years ago William Men
sing, alias Donnely, was superintendent
Of the North Cedar Hill Cemetery
Company. In an evil hour he
was induced to go into stock
gambling operations. His own
funds soon went into the vortex and
81, 500 belonging to the company fol-
lowed suit. Then penniless and dis
graced the defaulter fled West. Pinker-
ton detectives hunted for him for
months but without result. Anew days
ago the detective department of this
city received word that he was in ST.
Louis. The authorities were wired to
arrest him, and when they went to the
house they found him with the dead
body Of his wife, which he had been
unable to inter for want of means.
He made no effort to conceal his
Identity, and agreed to return without
trouble, if allowed to take with him
the remains of his dead wife. This was
acceded to and the corpse having been
themourning defaulter and
the detective, with their sad burden,
left for this city. Mensing will be AL
lowed to witness the interment of his
late wife, this afternoon, and will be
arraigned at the central police station
tomorrow.

He Outlines a Policy That He Thinks
Would be Successful.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 17-Gen.
Sheridan in his annual report, says of
the Indian question:
On account of the rapid growth of our
Western settlements, the army is Obliged,
in some places, to protect white people
from Indians, while in other places it is
protecting the Indians in their persons and
property from the whites. The Indians are
the richest people in this country
as communities. Their reservations in
clude some of the best lands; and if
divided among the heads of the families,
each family would have thousands ofacres.
II | may be permitted to suggest, would
recommend that each family be given and
located on the 800 acres now provided for
them by Jaw. In case of actual settlement
the government should then condemn all
the balance OF each reservation, buy it in
at S1.25 per acre, and with the proceeds
purchase government bonds to be held
in trust by the Interior Department,
only giving to the Indians each year the in
terest on the bonds for their support. Let
this money, if you please, be disbursed the
same as the money appropriated each year
by Congress. The practical working would
be about as follows: The Crow Indians,
for instance, have nearly 100000 acres
OF land. There are not more than &, 300 of
them, and counting five persons to a family
"a large estimate could be
settled separately on 800 acres for each
family, and then have over 100000
acres left which the government could buy
of them when condemned. If the proceeds
were invested in government bonds, and the
interest nsea for their support it would be
more money than is now appropriated by
Congress for their yearly maintenance. 1t
would he their own TnnDnv and take the
question of annual appropriation for them
out of Congress-

A Grabbed COnceit.
TFrom the New York Express. ]

From the New York Express.
Uncle Alexander Taylor, the veteran
who keeps the Long Island Hotel in
Front Street, was seated in large
armchair at the end Of his bar chat
ting with several Fulton Market deal
ors, when George Smith, of Patchogue,
sent the colOred waiter over to the
market to have dozen hard-shell
crabs steamed. A select quartette
slipped out in advance of the waiter
and procuring a large live crab dipped
him in a pot of red paint. Then they
intercepted the waiter on his return
and placed this crab on top of those
which had been cooked.
When the waiter returned with the
basket Mr.. Smith placed It on the floor
and raised the lid said: ''Come, boys,
help yourselves" The uncooked crab
lost no time in getting out of the bas-
ket. Mr.. Taylor saw him and shout
ed: ''Look at him walk! Catch
him! !"
"Catch what?" asked one of the
iokers.
''It's the first time I ever saw a
boiled crab walk" cried Mr.. Taylor.
By this time the crab had rounded the
corner Of the bar and slowed himself
away. Then the jokers began to ad-
wise Mr.. Taylor to call in a physician
as his nervous system was evidently
shattered, and recommended brandy
and soda as a beverage. Mr.. Taylor
sat up all night with wet towel
around his head. In the morning he
found the painted crab walking around,
and now he's mad.

Al SENSATION SPOILED.
The Resurrection Story Te1egraphe d
Over the Country Sensational Tale.

Over the Country Sensational Tale.
PORTLAND, Me-, Nov. 18.-Diligent
investigation of the sensational tale
of resurrection telegraphed hence, last
week, has resulted in the discovery
that Blanche Edwards, who told the
story, loved one Charles Archibald, of
Cape Elizabeth, in 1884, and for some
unknown reason he courted her under
the name Of Joseph L. Dyer. At the
time and place she described, he re-
ceived injuries from which he died.
Miss Edwards attended the funeral,
and wore mourning until very recently.
Her parents objected to her wearing
mourning for one whom they had never
seen, and their daughter drew on her
imagination to create antecedents for
her dead lover She produced three
photographs, which she said were por-
traits of his deceased father and
mother and of himself when a
child. She then wrote letters
to herself, signing them "Mrs.
Dyer" in order to carry still further
the deception which she considered
necessary in order to be allowed to
mourn her lover undsturbed. In one
of these letters it was stated that
Dyer had left her $4,000, to be paid
when she became 20 years of age.
This, of course, became a matter of
interest to her parents. Before long
the young woman was forced to sub
stantiate her story in some way. she
resorted to the startling narration
about the grave giving up its dead.
Blanche certainly did not anticipate
the interest such an announcement
would awaken, but stuck to her story
until it was proven false in some of its
details by outside evidence. Tonight
she made g. clean breast of it. Several
reporters confronted her in the pres
ence of her family with the evidence
which they had collected disproving
her statements. The newspaper men
had found the originals of the photo
graphs referred to above to be other
people than represented by the girl.
This and other points were presented
to her, and she broke down, saying
that she was led into the deception by
her devotion to her lovers memory,
which her parents had been inclined to
ridicule. Miss Edwards is a bright
and pretty girl of 19, and is very much
Inundated at finding herself SO notori-
Gus a. character.

incubation for the Disease Said to be
Decided Success.


Decided Success.
New ORLEANS, La, Nov. 18.-Dr.
Joseph Holt, president of the Louisi-
ana State Board of Health, has re-
ceived a letter from DIR. ]. McF. Ges-
ton, of Atlanta, Ca, inclosing com,
munication from DR.. Domingo Freire,
the noted physician of Rio de Janeiro-
Brazil, and giving interesting and novel
information about incubation for yell
low fever. DIR. Freire stated that he
had this year performed nearly 5000
NEGOTIATIONS, the result of which
proved an absolute success, for none
of those who were inoculated died;
whereas over 400 persons who
were not inoculated have already
succumbed to the disease. The
inoculated persons dwelt in the same
infected quarter, and a great number
inhabited houses wherein deaths had
occurred. A large number of foreign
ers have been inoculated; and also sew
eral hundred children who are no less
subject than foreigners. incubation
is effected by hypodermic injection,
one gram for adults and from one
fourth to one-haf gram, according to
age, for children. The region selected
for the injection OF the liquid, is the
deltoid. The phenomena following
incubation are those which characters
ize the prodromeia of the disease the
last two or three days, and require no
medication. DIR. Holt will lay this inn
portant question before the Louisiana
State Board OF Health, and also make
use OF it before the American Public
Health Association, which meets in
Washington December /.

There is in Atlanta a beautiful young
lady who is deaf and dumb, but in
spite of her infrmity she is a regular
attendant at church. Unable to hear
q word of the sermon or note of the
music, she is nevertheless a devout
worshiper. Last Sunday an old man
sat near her with an immense ear
trumpet leveled at the preacher. The
spectacle of these two people worship
ing God at such a. disadvantage was q
severe rebuke to more fortunate people
who seldom go to church.

Not the Right Grass.

When some Americans, who had
overheard the r6mark that Strassburg
was famous for ..'pate de foie gras, :"
reached that old town one day recent
ly they sailed forth IN quest OF the thing
referred to. 1t is said that they actu
ally went into a book store and asked
the clerk for q ''pate de foie gras," and
that, being a true-hearted human be-
ing, he took them aside, whispering
that what they wanted was goose llv-
er pie" Then, unabashed, they went
to an eating house andfound the pie
a. thing awful to look back upon they
say, since it was so very ''high" as to
suit only the trained palate OF the cpl
cure.

Comfort for Hogs.

Hogs kept in uncomfortable quar-
tiers may eat a large amount of corn
and increase in weight but very little.
The hog will show the money value o.
comfort better than most any animal
kept on the farm. Again, the feeding
Of corn differs very greatly. Many
farmers sell their best corn and keep
that which is not merchantablet feed
to their hogs. The soft corn does not
contain thefattening quantities fthat
which is sound and dry. The condi-
ton of corn when fed will exert a great
influence on the amount of pork pro-
duced. To obtain the best possible
results, the corn should not only be
ground, but thoroughly cooked.
Whether it will pay to grind and cook
food for hogs will depend on several
circumstances, such as the price OF
fuel, the cost of grinding and the ex-
pense of labor.-Chicago Times.
