A Wonderful Old Man.

One of the most notable of the won derful old men of Germany is Von Moltke. We could learn lesson or two from the Germans concerning the value of men, says Blakley Hall. In the United States man is shelved at 70. When he has reached that age in the German Empire it Is assumed that his faculties have reached their fullest de- velopment, and that his wisdom will then be of the highest value to the State. At all events, he is lifted to power and importance and the relns of government lie in his hands to the very last. Although Won Moltke is nearly SS years of age, he is as active as though but 40. Very often in Berlin I walked up to the War Office after breakfast, just for the pleasure of seeing the old Mar shal go to work. There was always a little crowd around the door waiting for glance at the famous commander, and when he jumped out of his carriage and walked briskly into the big building that is known as the brain of the army, because all the plan ming of that great organization goes on there, he usually walked between two lines of people. He smiled with invar- fable good nature at the crowd, and oc- casionally stopped to kiss the ruddy cheek of a child if it's mother pushed it forward for the honor. Then he trotted into the office, and half an hour later could be seen hurrying along the cor ridor with his hands full of huge official looking papers, as hard at work as though he had not earned 8 rest by so many years of toll. Like the sturdy old Elm peror, Bismarck, Blumenthal, and the rest of those wonderful old men, Von Moltke rises at seven in the morning, retires early at night, sleeps on hard camp bedstead, eats little, and drinks less. This military regimen undoubt- edly has much to do with the amazing vigor which they all show. To speak of man of eighty as " old" in Berlin is to cause general sensation of surprise, pity, and indignation. In our judgment of men we are not so wise as the sub- iects of William IT.

FELL DOWN THE SHAFT.
A Pennsylvania Coal Miners Fright
 full Death.

One of those horrible accidents whtc the c al regions Is reported from Nant company hand, 30 years of age, was at work the Susquehanna Coal Company. In some the platform upon which he was standing and fell headlong down the shaft, distance of over nine hundred feet, to the bottom strik- ing mass of rock near what is known as the stump" In the fall through the shaft, which is lined with blanks and rough boards, the body was completely stripped of all its clothing save here and there band about the ankle or wrist, and one shoe still clinging to the foot. Every bone in his body was broken and the flesh was rendered soft as jelly. Those who gathered the remains in blanket say it was impossible to tell the poor mans head from the trunk, so terribly was 1t mashed and flattened upon the hard roadway. The brains were scattered all around. and the entire body was mutilated beyond all human semblance. The si ght was a horrible one.
 A sad circumstance in connection with the tragic death of Mir. Thomas was the fact that on Sunday next he was to have been married to most estimable young lady of Nanticoke. The mine in which he was killed is the same ln which twcnty-six men were imprisoned two years ago last summer, and whose bodies still remain in the pit. Last summer James Bishop and Thomas Simmons lest their lives in the same shaft by falling from thn top to the bottom In the precise manner that Thomas did. Miners generally believe this colIiery is an unlucky one in which to work.

When hens are shedding feathers they often stop laying ana grow fat. Most people consider fat sign of he<h. The fattening of moult- ing hens, however, as with some people, pro- duces debility rather than health. Many of the worst cases of ronp are contracted, while the hens are moulting.
 The fo'd of moulting hens, If largely vege- tablet is fat-forming and not required for grow ing feathers. Therefore corn-fed hens get very fat. They need more nitrogen and phosphate elements in their food when moalting,w which if not supplied they stop laying, because the growing feathers have used all, and left no nj trogenous matter to form eggs. At this season, killing old hens and relying on young bullets is great mistake, where people have few hens and late bullets, Because, if properly fed, the hens will have their new plumage and lay well all winter; while the bullets unless specially treated may not commence laying until spring, when high prices for eggs have fallen one-half. Again an old hens egg will hatch moro viz orous chickens than bullets egg.
 John R. Jones, Suf1eld, Conn.,, breeder of prize winning mottled Javas, says:
 II find Sheridan's Condition Powder, fed once daily in the food, very valuable for moulting hens. have used it two years for exhibition birds. It assists in growing new feathers, makes the combs bright red, and gives a rich gloss to the plumage. It will also make hens lay and the eggs hatch we'll. 1 find when the other egg-foods are used in quantities to force egg production the eggs do not hatch."
 The above is the experience of many people in using Sheridan's Powder. If fed to young bullets now as directed, they will begin to lay before six months old. Commence at once using Sheridan's Powder. It helps old hens through moultng, and gets the bullets in lay ing trim before the season of high prices. Eggs will sell very high this fall and winter. There fore be ready to get all you can.
 l. s. Johnson & O., 2 CCs.t m House St.. Bos- ton, Mass. sole makers of Sheridan's Condition Powder to make hens lay, will send to any ad- dress for one two cent stamp, testimonials with full information how to make a few hens pay well; also how to obtain Sheridan's powder.

General of Vot

General ot Volunteers Nov. 2l, 1861, then
 Briga gadier-Generalo of the Missouri Militia. and
 on Nov. 20, 1862, was appointed Major General
 of Volunteers. Afterward he was Brigadier- General U. 8. A., and on March Is, 1Sb5, he was breyetted Major General for gallant servl-
 ces at the battle of Franklin, Tennessee. He served in the Army of the Cumberland, and participated in the invasion of Georgia. He was in action at the battles of Resaca, Dallas.
 Kenesaw Mountain and Kulp's Farm. He dis tinguishcd himself in the Atlanta campaign,
 and after the capture of Atlanta was put, under
 Gen. Thomas, in command of the forces which opposed the movement of Gen. Hood toward Nashville. Hood was in Schofeld's class at West Point. They chased each other around a good deal in the war. Gen. Schofeld became commander of the department of North Caro- lima, helped in taking Fort Anderson and Will
 mington, battled victoriously at Kingston, then
 marched to Goldsboro, where he united with the army of Sherman on March 9, 1865, and
 finally was in at the surrender of Gen. John
 ston at Durham station, N. O, April 26, 1885 He was detailed to execute the military con-
 vention of that equalization.
 After the war he was in service in Europe
 until Aug. 16, 1866, and then was in command
 of the department of the Potomac until March, 1867. His term as Secretary of War, during
 the Belknsp imbroglio, lasted from May 9S,
 1868, to March II, 1869. Gen. Grant made him
 Major General in the regular army as soon as
 he left the Cabinet. He attended to various duties until 1S76 when, in September, he as-
 stunned charge of the West Point school. He | remained there until January, 1881. Then he
 was in charge of the division of the Missouri Upon General Hancock's death in 1886. he was led to take the division of the Atlantic because it gave him chance to be near New York.
 Major-Gen Schofield is short, thickset, and
 fuddy faced, very like Sheridan in those three | particulars. His manner is extremely digni- | fled, yet there is warm and genial side to his
 nature. He was in Sheridan's class at West
 Point, and they were close friends. The only | time they came in official contact during the | war was when Schofield commanded the de- | partment of Ohio. After the battle of Mis-
 sionary Ridge and the raising of the siege of | Knoxville, Sheridan then in command of
 one of the corps. After the war their personal
 relations were intimate and their friendship | was clese.
 Maior-Gen. Schofield is Democrat.

Explorations in Canada.

News has been received from William Ogilvie, who left Victoria year ago last June with Prof Dawson to survey and explore the northern country in behalf of the Domini n Government. Professor Dawson returned, but Ogilvie procee led north from Chilcat, Alaska, and wintered on the Yukon. On reaching Yukon overland Ogilvie explored 1t for about seven hundred mics. In September he camped for the winter In March he left for Mckenzie River, which he will explore, and then proceed across country to Winnipeg, where he expects to arrive in November. There were seventeen miners who came out from the Yukon gold mines. Some who had been in two or three years came out with $3, 0Oo worth of dust, and others had more. Forty Mile Creek, branch of the Yukon, is scene of great activity. The gold, which is coarse, IS taken from the banks and bars of the river. Work can only be carried on two months ir the year at most.

Murdered for WitChcraft.

A man named Medina will shortly be tried in the city of Mexico for witch killing. In 3 village not far distant from the city an old woman levied monthly tribute on all the fam lilies, threatening those who refused with kill ing their children by sucking their blood through their noses She surrounded herself with all the paraphernalia of withcraft, such as brooms, tom cats and strange instruments. She would often go out on a large, open moor on top of the hills, where the superstitious in- ha.itants of the village watched her with awe, making wild gestures, uttering cries or gazing for hours together at the horizon. All the vil- Iage believed in her powers and regarded her with dread. A short time since godchlld of Medina's died, and meeting the witch Medina asked her why she had killed his godchild. She answered that she had done it because it's father had refused to pay her monthly tax. Medina then turned away, muttering that he would be revenged. The witch, hearing him, threatened to take the lis os Medina's own child, and he then attacked ner s-.d dealt her two or three furious blows, leaving her lifeless.
 All the inhabitants of the village are ready to testify that the old woman was really a witch and deserved her fate. The case shows how much credulity and superstition is still alive among the inhabitants of the rural dis tricts in Mexico.

A HERMIT'S WEALTH.
Bank Books Representing $2O,OO0
 Found in His House.

The recent death of Sally Turner, aged S2, in the nor hern Dart of Hanover. Mass, and the subsequent finding of a large amount of money and other property, is again brought to mind by the death of Levi H. Damon, aged GA, at South Hanover. Damon was born in Scituate, and spent his early life upon the sea. He seldom had anything to do with his neighbors and very little with his relatives. He spent very little money and led hermit like existence. He was last seen about two weeks ago, and as nothing was seen about his place to show that he was there, the neighbors broke open the doors and found him dead on the floor in his workshop. In a small hole in the attic five bank books were found which showed deposits in banks in the Cohasset, Hingham, Abingdon, Boston and Scituate to the amount of STOOD. In one book there was a deposit of $1, 100, made twenty-eight years ago, upon which no interest had been drawn. The same was true of the other books: and it is estimated that with the compound interest, there will be some ,000. He had a trunk which he had given some one to keep for him. In this trunk there is thought to be more of his papers, and also more money. His relatives said that he owned bonds, and as these have not been found, it is expected that the trunk contains them. One curious fact was that he always slept ill corner of the house and never used bed, preferring to lie upon some rags on the floor,
