the dwelling house Of g. w. Gents,
on his farm, situate two miles below

the children were iD the room at play,
when one came out screaming to her
mother that "the baby was burning
up" Rushing up stairs Mrs. Gents
found the child surrounded by fire,
the bed clothing and carpet being all
ablaze. SnatehiOg the babe from the
flames she rushed down stairs with the
other children, not thinking 10 her
fright to close the bed room door after
her, thus keeping the fire in check.

1t may require several years to de-
rive the largest profit from farm.
Farming is slow business, and although
the work is supposed to extend over
one entire year, yet whole years
work may be but beginning. A colt
or calf requires several years to ma
ture, and pastures do not pay for sever
al years from seeding.
Wet places around the cattle and
hog troughs soon become very muddy,
and in winter the troughs are at times
almost inaccessible to the animals. as
they are liable to become mired. In
such cases it is best to remove the mud
and cover the groud around the trough
with gravel, raising it high enough to
allow all surplus water to drain off.

Like produces like" and this rule
holds good with potatoes more so than
with many other crops. The bin
should be examined occasionally in
order to observe if the potatoes are
keeping well, and it will pay to assert
the tubers for the purpose of selecting
the seed. If this plan is pursued the
quality Of the crop will be improved
each year.
Meat Scallop: Take cracker
crumbs, macaroni, cold meat, the
gravy of the meat or soup stock. Boil
the macaroni until soft and put a little
cold water on it to prevent it from
sticking together. Cover the bottom

layer of meat cut in small pieces,
seasoned with salt and pepper. layer of

SECURE GOOD SEEDS.
II You Neglect to Do So, on Need Not

II You Neglect to Do So, on Need Not
Expect Profitable Crops.
1t is folly to expect that the corn at
harvest will be better than the seed
that was put into the ground at the
planting. 1t is a waste of labor and
manure to expend them on poor seeds.
Farmers do not give this matter of
seeds sufficient thought and study
There are some seeds, if he will take
proper care, that the farmer can prop
erly raise himself, while others can be
better raised by the seedsmen. One of
the most important differences between
the seeds raised by the skilled seed
grower and the ordinary farmer is
this: The former carefully ''rogues'
the crop. Suppose both are raising
dwarf peas of some kind for seed. The
farmer will take picking or two for
his table, lust to try" thus removing
all the early seeds; the seed-grower
will allow none to be taken and he will
also ''rogue" the crop, which means
that he will go along the rows and if
there is plant disposed to run up and
be no longer dwarf that plant is pulled
up and thrown out as a rogue" If a
plant shows difference in the color of
the flowers, in the size, shape and
abundance of the crop, or presents any
other marked peculiarities that show
it to be different from the average of
the crop, those plants are regarded as
rogues and treated as such. If his In
dian corn at harvest shows that it is
mAed-that some of the grains on an
cdr are of the wrong color-the farmer
wonders how this can be, as he planted
but one kind of corn. He forgets that
his neighbor has field of different
corn from his and that the rail fence
will not prevent the wind from floating
or bar insects from bringing the stray
pollen which has caused the mixing"
Do not think that selecting ears which
show no admixture will answer as well
for seed. If a crossing has taken
place, with results that you can see,
there will doubtless be a mixing in
other respects, such as earliness, num-
Der of ears ON stock, or number of
rows to the ear, which may be equally
important, but will only be manifested
in next years crop. If you have
select and favorable variety of corn
which it is desired to keep pure, and
there is danger that it may be mixed
with pollen from neighbours field, it
will be well to plant a patch exclu-
sively for seed in some locality as far
as possible from the neighbours field.
If the planting of this corn for seed be
delayed few days the corn will not be
lin silk" until the other from which |
Danger is feared has shed all its pollen. |
Money expended in securing a stock |
Of pure seeds in place of those of
doubtful quality is well invested al
though its wisdom may not be apparent |
lntil harvest. There are several |
novelties offered each year which are |
praised in glowing terms without in
,ent to deceive. Do not decry them |
because they ara new; they may be
'eaily desirable. Even a cautious man |
will try few-enough to yield seeds |
or next years crop if desired.

An Old American Sea Captain Tells Some
Characteristic Stories.
The Captain of the Ohio, r. w. Sar-
American seamen. He says: General
Grant crossed with me on his tour
around the world, and he was the most
interesting passenger that l remember
to have carried. had seen him once
before under peculiar circumstances,
and it goes to show the Generals re-
markable memory that he remembered
my face. 1t was this way: l was on
the flagship Agawam repeating the Ad.
miral's signals, and consequently it was
my business to keep close to the Ad-
mirars side. President Lincoln and
General Grant came on board to run
the rebel batteries and go up and in
spect the work at the Dutch Gap canal
AS soon as the rebels began to fire at
us the officers made the President and
General Grant crouch down under the
bulwarks, and being a youngster with
out much respect for authority l grim
ned at them as they stopped down-the
Presidents long body in that undigni-
fed position especially appealing to my
sense of the ridiculous. We were out
of the line of fire in a few minutes, and
that was all of the episode. But when
Grant came on board for his voyage he
looked at me after l was introduced
and said: Captain Sargent, I've seen
you before.
4 was near you once, General l
answered, during the war;
Don't tell me where said he, let
me see if 1 can't place you
1.-The matter dropped. Next day Gen
eral Grant said: i haven't placed you
yet-but wait
Next morning he came to my room
laughing and said: I've got you now.
You were on the bridge of the Agawam,
but what you were doing there or who
you were don't know. 1t was when
we were going up to the Dutch Gap
canal 1t was q surprising instance
OF his power of remembering.
'When we got into Queenstown" the
captain continued, "a delegation came
out in the tender to welcome the Gen.
eral, and John Russell Young told me of |
the monster reception which was being |
prepared at Liverpool for Grant 1t |
was to be kept a secret from the Gen
eral. but they wanted me to know so
there would be no contretemps- The
General was wearing a suit of travel

ventured to suggest that he had better
put on broadcloth coat He told me
that the clothes he was wearing were
quite good enough to go to the hotel

"HOLD THE FORT"
A Veteran Tells Where the Now Famous
Saying Originated.

A Veteran Tells Where the Now Famous
Saying Originated.
1t was grand scene to ascend the
heights of old Kenesaw Mountain at
night and view the camp fires of the
rebel army encamped to the east, being
led by General Hood on his memorable
and disastrous raid toward the north
and around Sherman's army that lay at
Atlanta, Ga. 1t was in October, 1864,
when Hood sought to drive Sherman
and his army out of Georgia by this
rear movement. He had got back to
the neighborhood of the stirring scenes
of old Kenesaw, where the Union
troops had made several desperate as
saults on their way to Atlanta, and his
army had seized the railroad and de-
stroyed it from Kenesaw Mountain to
Atlanta. The command to which the
writer belonged was camped at the
foot of Kenesaw Mountain, and we had
been skirmishing with the Confederates
on the 4th, and captured some prison
ers on the morning of the 9th.
In company with other members of
the command we assembled the heights
of Kenesaw to witness the fight at AL
toona Pass, to the north some eighteen
miles. There was on the top of both
mountains a station of the United States
Signal Corps. The battle had opened;
General French, with 5000 Confed-
crates, had surrounded the fort, which
was garrisoned BY John M. Course and
about Is, 600 men. General French sent
in word to General Course to surrender
and stop unnecessary effusion of blood.
General Course replied that he was
ready for the effusion of blood, and if
he wanted the fort he must come and
take it.
The battle opened and was desperate;
the Confederates reached the fort and
the Union lines were thinned by death
and were wavering, when the Seventh
Illinois Infantry, with their sixteen
shooters, came to the rescue and re-
PEELED the Confederate column and
drove it in defeat down the hill with
terrible loss. But while this is going on
General Sherman arrives on top of Ken
esaw and all eyes were turned toward
him to see what the great commander
would do or say at this critical moment.
He approached the Lieutenant of the
signal corps and said: Tell General
Course to hold the fort, / am coming"
The signal officer had not more than
time to deliver the message until the
signal on Altoona disappeared, and for
a short time deep anxiety prevailed to |
know the result of the desperate strug- |
gle that was going on at Altoona, where |
were stored a million or more of ra-
tions. Suddenly the signal corps again
appeared on Altoona and General |
Course sent that historic reply: Il am
minus one ear and a jaw, but can whip |
all hell yet" This was too good to
keep and the victory was announced on
top of Kenesaw and those up there
commenced the cheering which was
caught up by Sherman's army, which |
was passing around the base of the
mountain, and such cheering was never
heard by mortal man. The Southern
hosts had been defeated and the old
starry banner of the free waved in tri-
umph from the top of Altoona and
kenesaw, where originated the famous
saying, Hold the Fort. "-E. I. Lee,

ABOUT PARTY CALLS.
A Social Duty Whose Observance Is f.

Social Duty Whose Observance Is Ex-
pected Among welI-Br-d People.
There are certain small things all
girls ought to know abOut-little forms
of etiquette, the observance of which is
expected among all well bred people.
Some understand by instinct, or in
heritance, or by observation. but
others appear to need mint. A lady
once told me that she was much
chagrined at having been guilty OF not
making party calls in a city where
she had spent part OF a winter and had
been invited to several houses. She
was refined and cultivated, but had
never been much in society in large
towns, and actually did not know what
was expected of her until it was too
late. She said that just before return
ing to her home she heard lady in the
house where she was boarding ask an
other, Have you made your party
calls?" The matter was puzzle TO
her. At the first opportunity she
asked a friend to whom she was not
afraid to betray her ignorance the
meaning of the EXPIRE ssion, and found
that by the etiquette of society it was
the polite and proper thing for her to
made a call at each of the houses
where she had been invited. Imagine
her chagrin on being told what a party
CALI was! She did not wish to be con-
sidered crude or rude. but as crude or
rude those hostesses must regard her.
In some cases, like hers, it is ignorance
and in others it is negligence; but the
lady who has invited you will be likely
to set persons down as under bred or
i'll bred who fail of this small courtesy.
A good many instances have come to
my knowledge since then of young
girls who have been hoEored by invita-
ton to choice garden party or indoor
party, and never afterward took the
trouble to call. l have known even a
more discreditable thing-it is incredi-
BILE, bnt true, that young people have
actually left such party without taxi
ing leave of the host and hostessi--

with, and the matter was so delicate a
one that dropped it and went to one
of his friends. A second trial was at
tended with no better result. The Gen.
eral intimated very plainly that he did
not want to be bothered, that there was
nothing the matter with his clothes,
and that there would be plenty of time
to change at the hotel. In despair /
went to Mrs. Grant, vowed her to secre-
cy, and told her what we wanted. She
said she would attend to it, and few
minutes later she came to my room,
where the General was chatting with
some friends, and said:
General, come down and change
your clothes
"'All right, mamma
"And he went
"And when he came back on deck
there was a quiet twinkle in his eye,
and he said as he passed me: ''Well,
you got that soup into me, after all,
didn't you?"
He had no intimasion of the recep-
ton, however, and as we swung up the
river l asked him, Mrs. Grant and
Jessie to come on the bridge and look
at the scenery. Two ships passed by
dressed with flags, and saluted us, and
the General remarked that this seemed
to be a gala day in Liverpool, asking
me if l knew why. | suggested that
the City of Brussels, which was sup
posed to have been lost, had got in, and
that the rejoicing was on that score.
The explanation satisfied him. As we
approached the city, however, it
dawned upon him that he was the
honored guest All the shipping was
ablaze with bunting, flags were dipping
to us as we passed, and at the landing
stage was gathered thousands upon
thousands of the citizens of Liverpool,
waiting to do him honor. There never
was such an ovation given by the city
before or since, and the cheer that went
up from those people as we steamed
slowly by the landing stage could be
heard for miles. / stole a glance at the
