The State board Of Health.

The State Board of Hea th desires respect
fully to call the attention of al municipal
authorities, councils of cities, or boards of
trustees of towns and villages in this State TO
the fact that th.y are by law endowed with
certain powers for iha prote ction Of the lives
and health of the communities over which they
preside. If the Legislature has net made the
exercise of these powers compulsory, it i sim
ply because il could not conceive of bodies of
intelligent men, occupying positions of such
grave responsibility, neglecting duties so obvi-
Gus. The Board is convinced that cases Of en-
tire forgetfulness of the obligations sometimes
occur and lis Inquiries lead it to conclu lie that
in but few munic palities is their full ex teat ap
preciated, while from not few have requests
come for definite instruction and informa tion
IN detail n re gard t, them. The Board has,
therefore, felt itself called upon to draft code
of sanitary laws which may be adopted by any
city or town, vi b su notifications. oms

Farm Work for June.

This is the busiest of months for the
farmer. Corn planting, which is "plant-
ing" par excellence, over large part
of the country is not over before corn
tillage presses, for the weeds grow very
fast, and the grass grows, too, so that
haying ought to begin. Millet and
fodder corn must be sowed and in many
sections Swedish turnips or rutabagas
need to be in as early as the 25th,
though in others good crops may be
depended upon when sowed a month
later. Those who have orchard grass
and clover in some fields will be glad
that they may begin the hay harvest
by cutting these long before timothy
and red-top meadows are ready for the
moving machine. This saves great
deal of worry, and when the timothy
is ripe it may be cut at once if proper
calculations have been made. As to
the age when timothy should be cut, ii
is well TO bear in mind that for ones
own use it can hardly be cut too green
after the heads are well out, but fol
sale for city feeding it is preferred as
old az it can be without the seed shell
ing off from the heads. 1t is used not
30 much as nutriment as for bulky food
with oats or ground feed.-1mericd,

Buchanan's Tragic Love Story.

Washington Letter 10 The chicago Ne,cs.
President Buchanan's love story is
historic, and reads more like the con-
ventional novel of fifty years ago than
plain fact. But it happened just as
tragedies happen every day that are
many times stranger than fiction.
When he was a poor young lawyer he
became engaged to Miss Coleman, who
belonged to one of the richest, staidest
and, it may be assumed, narrowest-
minded and most purblind families in
Philadelphia The Colemans by no
means approved of the match, but
nevertheless the Young couple became
engaged. Mr.. Buchanan was then
practising law in remote part Of
Pennsylvania, and in those days of
siage-coaohes and saddle. bags CORE
spondence was liable to Interruptions.
Miss. Coleman's letters became irregu
lar and then stopped altogether. He
wrote repeatedly, but got no reply. AT
last he determined to go to Philadel-
phia, but at Lancaster the stage met
with an accident and Mr. Buchanan
suffered broken leg He wrote again
as soon as he was able, but still heard
nothing. Laid up in country tavern
in the midst of phenomenal snow
storm, for six weeks, embittered him
and he wrote Miss Coleman letter of
fierce reproaches, and then wrote no
more. Now for Miss Coleman's part.
Her eminentlv respectable family from
the beginning intercepted all of her
letters and all of Mr.. Buchanans. She
made all the appeals to him a woman
could make, but she never had a line
from him after he left Philadelphia,
excep, that last cutting lelter-and as,
unfortunately, it contained nothing
but his renunciation of her, she could
know nothing of what had preceded it.
The eminently respectable family were
sa,istied-,he match was broken off by
means that woIld have landed them
all IN the penitentiary in these days.
A year or two afterward Mr..
Buchanan was in Philadelphia and at a
ball came face to face with Miss Cole
man. Neither spoke, and Mr.. Buchan-
an paid marked attention to Gnother
gill present. That night a young
friend who was staying with Miss
Coleman said to her, while the Two
girls were alCne in their room: "Did
you see Mr., Buchanan's attention to
Miss - Now they might have
been yours had you recognized him.
Miss Coleman began to sob violently.
She would not be soothed, and her
friend, becoming alarmed, called the
family. OF what next happened two
accounts have been given: one was
that she had taken poison and her suf-
ferings aiterwar1 came from that
but those who We're near her said that
she was simply suffering from uncon.
tollable mental anguish. Toward
morning, when her pulse had got so
low that it was scarcely perceptible, ,aud
her nervous excitement had changed
into a profound stupor, the doctors
were sent for. But she was past help. |
They never reused, her and she died
the next day of what the doctors call |
ed nervous exhaustion, but which goes |
by the name of broken heart Then |
the truth came to Mr.. Buchanans ears
and from that day his bachelorhood
was assured. When he was President
the story was generally known, and
there were no reports about his marri-
age as long as he was in the White
House.

The Prodigai Hospitality OF the Great
American Patriot and Statesman.
Not until the days Of General Grant
was the English form of giving nation
al gratitude pecuniary Som observed
by even part of the American people.
Not few Of the great leaders of the
revolution were allowed TO die in
poverty, verifying the spirit, II not
tho letter, of the lines.
"And balins may seizo his last blanket to-
day
Whose psll shah bo upborns by heroes to.

Congress, In two or three cases,
showed q tardy sense Of gratitude by
purchasing the papers and libraries of
those whose public service had caused
them to die insolvent, thus enabling
their families TO live in something ap-
preaching comfort
Thomas jefferson, toward the close
of his life, was so iniirm and poor that
he applied TO the Legislature of Vir-
ginia for permission to dispose Of his
large estate by lottery lie hoped by
this method to realize q sum sufficient
TO pay his debts and to give him COM
petence. Public duties prevented him
from looking after his estate during
many years, and n profuso hospitality
exhausted his means. MIR. Jclicr

American citizens, and people came
from far and near to see him, prompted
by curiosity or affection. Lifo at Mon

Members Of Congress, oilicc-holders,

to see the great statesman, and to par

were entertained one night, and whole
families came in their carriages, and
remained for months One family of
six persons came from Europe and
made a visit of ten months. Then they
made q short tour through the States,
returned to Monticello and remained
six months longer.
A gentleman asked Wormlcy, Mr..
Jeil'crson's favorite servant, pointing to
the three carriagc-houses, each Of which
would contain n four-horse coach,
