She rose from her chair. her dark eyes
full of tears. her lips quivering, and, in
spite of the emotion that overpowered
her, managed. after a brief silence, to
speak almost without faltering:

A Rapid Walk.

Attention is urged by n writer in
Wallace's Monthly to the walking gait
as the first to be developed in Il colt or
young horse, and by which great de-
gree of practical proficiency is attain
able. He enforces this idea by esti-
mates and examples: eve have
known numerous road bred horses
that would walk from four and One-half
to five miles in an hour without urging,
and many, i'll fact. Most well bred
road horses could be taught to cover
greater distances than this in the same
time if it were not for the pernicious
custom las we think) of putting the
colts to the trot as soon as they are in
the harness and before they are really
bride wise. Every farmers boy knows
that he can do better job of work
blowing, narrowing or cultivating corn
with Il fast-walking team which
makes the dirt fly than with slow
one. The saving on farm when the
horses walk three miles an hour, OF
even when they walk two and one-half
miles, is twenty per cent or, in other
words, the fast team can rest whole
day i'll the week and yet do as much
work as the slow team-dO it easier
anu w IL oClCCI' w HcH WOIh 10 pICSS-
ing or weather uncertain the fast team
is treasure. While every effort has
been made to increase the speed of the
trotter, the draft-horse men have been
working for pounds with little regard
either for muscle or walking speed. 1t
is very great mistake to suppose that
the draft horse cannot be trained to
walk rapidly. We have been breeding
to Percheron for four years that often
walks nine miles in one hour and fifty
minutes over Il hilly road, and his colts
are all rapid walkers"

How Doughnuts Should be Made.

''The trouble with doughnuts," said
lady who prided herself upon being
first rate cook, sis that they won't
keep long. Nearly every one can
make doughnuts, but they have to be
eaten directly after they are made.
Ny doughnuts will keep for several
days and be as nice as when they were
first fried"
"What is your recipe :"
"Doughnuts are made of sugar, milk
butter, soda, eggs, -four and spices.
Take a quart of -four, two eggs, pat
of butter about the size of teacup, a
cup of sour milk, cupful of sugar and
tablespoonful of soda. The spices
are nutmeg, cinnamon and salt, half a
teaspOnful of each. The butter should
be beaten to a cream and the sugar and
spices mixed with it. Then beat the
eggs and mix with the butter and sug-
ar. Dissolve the soda in little water
and put all these mixtures together
and the -four gradually. This should
be done in the evening and then left to
stand in a cool place all night. In the
morning roll the dough down to the
thickness of about half an inch, cut it
with a biscuit cutter into small round
cakes and make a hole in the center of
each. Fry these cakes in lard for
about three minutes and you will have
some of the incest dOughnuts ever
made"

A Novel Battle in Aroostook.

A man in Silver Ridge Plantation,
ArOostook county, started in company
with another, a few days since, to look
for his cows and oxen and lot OF
young cattle which were out in the
woods. They found their stock and
started for home. On the way they
saw three bears sitting on their
launches, ahead of them, directly in
their path. The oxen ran ahead of the
cows and then turned around, shaking
their heads as much as to say, "Keep
back, keep back! We will attend to
those black fellows" Then away they
ran for the enemy. One of the bears
ran away, while the other two stood
their ground and the oxen charged on
them. Upon this the bears fled and
one of the oxen chased one of the bears
a mile through the woods, tossing him
over his head in q fearful manner.
The bear was tossed up at least 30
times and evidently had rather a lively
time of it. Finally, the OK returned
with his horns all blood, which showed
that he had had fierce struggle and
had won the battle. The men say
they have seen the bears since, but
that they were afraid and would run
away every time.

Cancer and Its Treatment.

Summarizing the present state of
medical knowledge of cancer and its
treatment. DIR. Robert L. Morris says
in the Popular Science Monthly: 1t
is safe TO say that we shall never have
drug which will cure a cancer, in
spite of the statements contained in
the patent medicine advertisements.
Local applications of caustics for the
purpose of curing cancer are seldom
made by reputable surgeons today,
because a glance at the anatomy of a
malignant growth is sufficient to show
the folly of attempting to reach the
deeply infected lymphatic vessels with
anything except the fingers aided by
sharp eyes Very small malignant
growth can be cured by means of the
local application of caustics, and large
growths can sometimes be removed
temporarily and as this is easily done,
charlatans have found large field for
work by appealing to the patients
dread of the knife, and promising to
cure by milder means. While the pa
tient is trying other methods than the
one which surgeons of responsibility
employ, the disease is usually getting
such foothold that opportunities foI
help are lost. Many lives would be
saved daily if cancer patients could be
so educated that the decisions which
lead them to tamper with so-called

The New Pension Bill.

A favorable report has been made in
the senate on the bill known as the
sfGrand Army Pension BILL" and so
called because it was matured by prom
inent Grand Army men. Following
are the points of difference between
this bill and the Dependent Pension
bill which the president vetoed last
year:
By the second section of both bills
pensions at the rate of Sl2 per month
are granted all persons who served
more than three months and were
honorably discharged, and who are or
NAV hereafter be suffering from men,
tai or physical disability not the result
of their own vicious habits or gross
carelessness. They differ, however,
in the language by which they define
the degree of disability which shall en-
title Il person to a pension. On this
totally incapacitates them for the per-
Torrance of manual labor :" while the
language of the vetoed bill was: "Dis-
ability which incapacitated them for
the performance of labor in such a
degree as to render them unable to
earn support, and who are depend
ent upon their daily labor for support"
The new bill also limits it's provis-
ions to those who served in the late
rebellion, while the vetoed bill extend
ed to soldiers of any war in which the
United States was engaged. The bill
further differs from the vetoed bill in
the addition of another section grant
ing pension to the widow or minor
children under l5 years of age, or, in
case there is no widow or minor chill
dren, to dependent mother or father,
without regard to the cause of the
death of the pensioner. The section
also increases the pension of minor
children from 81 to s. per month, and
declares that the pension of idiotic or
helpless minors shall continue during
life or the period of disability.

Heroines of the Great Blizzard.

Eta Shattucl1, the Nebraska school
teacher, who was imprisoned for three
days in hay stack at the time of the
great January blizzard, died Monday.
Both her legs below the knees had
been amputated. The teacher who
spent the whole night fighting death
to save her three little pupils in an
open field, Louise Royce, had part
of one foot and one hand removed, and
now the surgeons have amputated her
other foot just below the ankle. A
fund of about $4,000 had been raised
for Miss Shattuck. and subscriptions
are in progress for Miss Royce and
Minnie Freeman, who saved l6 chill
dren by tying them to one another
and to herself and leading them three
quarters of a mile through the storm.

An authority on pigs says that he
never thinks of cutting off the tails of
his pigs. The tails are the indicators
of the porkers' condition. If piggy
doesn't feel well, if his food doesn't
agree with him, his tail begins to
straighten. The sicker the pig the
straighter the tail, and the healthier
the pig the tighter the curl.

This wonderful remedy, whose praise is
upon every hody's lips, must be the most
marvellous in its curative powers of any
remedy ever discovered. We hear every
day of remarkable cures of nervousness,
nervous weakness. exhaustion, paral ysis or
other nervous diseases effected by this
great nerve tonic and restorative. Here a
person rescued from the grave, as was Mrs.
Annie Donovan, of Attawaugan, Conn. !;
there case saved from that terrible dis
ease. insanity, as was Mr.. w. C. Miles, of
40 Blue Hill avenue, Boston, Mass; again,
cures of paralysis of years standing, like
that of MIR. Alexander Horn, OF the Marine
Asylum, Philadelphia, Pa, who had not
been able to walk before for years; or re-
storation from the se*eFest neuralgia and
rheumatism, like the case of Mr.. James
Bown, of q Market street, New York City.
Cures of sleeplesssess, with nervous and
physical exhaustion, are very frequent, the
wonderful cure of Mrs w. L. Able, of l9
Affieck street, Hartford, Conn, being only
one among thousands. Altogether, the
markable powers of DR.. Greens's Nervura
Nerve Tonic in curing all forms of nervous
diseases like the above, and restoring TO
health sufferers from nervousness, nervous
weakness, nervous debility, dependency,
depression of mind, headache, trembling,
numbness, dyspepsia, indigestion, consti-
patton, the opium or chloral habit, &c,
have demonstrated it to be a remedy OF
wonderful powers, and at times of almost
miraculous effects In curing disease 1t is
not TO be wondered at, therefore, that drug
stores every where are overwhelmed with
orders for this remarkable remedy, and it
is almost impossible TO supply the demands
from the hundreds OF thousands of sufferers
from nervous diseases. All druggists keep
the remedy, at 81 per bottle, and its low
price places il within the reach of all. If

rERHAPs no crop the farmer grows
can be the subject of more imaginative
speculation than corn fodder. Its pos
sIbilIties are immense. Thirty tons per
acre are easily grown on rich land, and
with the large varieties planted closely
more has been produced. Thirty tons
is an immense anount of feed. Pre-
served green 1t will give sixty pounds
day to the cows for one hundred days.
Divide this by half or by three for a
moderate yield, and it still gives far
ahead of the capacity for keeping stock
by an acre of ordinary hay. 1t must
be remembered, however, that corn
fodder at its best is not a perfect ration.
1t is always deficient IN the elements
for making muscle and bone. When
grown in excessively large crops corn
fodder is besides watery and innutriti-
Gus. Considering the amount of labor
required to handle these large yields,
It is better to plant so as to allow cul-
tivation and at least some nubbIns of
ears. Ten or twelve tons of fodder
may be grown on an acre in this way,
and with, i'll most cases, more profit to
the feeder than the larger aud more ex-
penslve crotl.
