Such Is the brief Geographic announce
ment which carries a momeutary thrill of
mild horror through the reading public, the
particulars are scanned the comment is
made that engineers and inspectors should
be held to stricter vigilance, and then one
man goes to his farm and another to his mer-
chandiss and the explosion is forgotten till
another occurs. But at long intervals the
traveller in the west during the next twenty
years will be reminded on visiting some fam
lily that Corona" is still to them a name of
horror. So it is with every great disaster
to the public it is passing sensation, but to
certain families it is the great event in re-
cent history, the event that changed the
whole current of their lives.

PICTURE OF WASHINGTON.
The Personal Appearance OF Our first
President In lTss aud In iTps.


AS described by David Ackerson. in
1911, Washington had large. thick
nose, and Il was very red that day,
giving me the impression that no was
not SO moderate in the use OF liquors as
he was supposed 10 be. found after
ward that this was popularity. His
nose was apt 10 turn scarlet in cold
wind. He was standing near small
camp fire evidently lost In thought
and making no effort 10 keep warm.
lie seemed six feet and a half ia height.
was rs erect as an Indian, and did not
attitude.
Washington's exact height was six
feet two inches In his boots. He was
then little lame from striking his
knee against n tree. His eye was so
gray that il looked almost white. and
he had n troubled look on his colorlsss
face. He had n piece of wooden tied
around h.s throat and was quite hoarsc.
Perhaps the throat trouble from which
he finally died had its origin about
then.
Washington's boots were enormous.
They We're No. l3. His ordinary walk
ing shoes we're No. H. His hands were
large In proportion, and he could not
buy glove to III him and had to have
his gloves made 90 order. His mouth
was his strong feature, the lips being
always tightly compressed. That day
they were compressed SO tightly as 10
be painful 90 look at.
At that time he weighed 200 pounds.
and there was no surplus flesh about
him. He was tremendously musclcd.
and the fame OF his great strength was
every where. His large tent, when
wrapped up with tho poles. was so
heavy that il required two men 10 place
IL In tho camp wagon. Washington
would lit il with one hand and throw
IL into the wagon as easily rs IL IL were
pair Of saddle-bags. lie could hold
musket with one hand and shoot with
precision as easily rs other men did
with horse pistol. His lungs were
his weak point and his voice was never
strong.
lie WIS NJ lllal llllt III llit prime bl
life. His hair was u chestnut brown,
his checks were prominent, and his
head was not large In contrast 10 every
other part Of his body, which seemed
large and bony at all points. His
fsRer joints and wrists were 80 large
iIs 10 be genuine curiositics. As 90
habits at that period found out much
that might be interesting. lio was an
enormous eater, but was content with
bread ard meat, II he had plenty OF IL.
But hunger seemed TO put him In "A
rage. II was his custom To take n
drink OF rum or whisky on awalIing in
the morning.
or course all this was changed when
he grew old. saw him at Alexandria
Il year before he died Ills hair was
very gray and his form was slightly
bent His chest was very thin. He
had false teeth which did not fl and
pushed his under lip outward.-Al-

VARIETIES OF GLOVER.
Advantage Of the Mammoth aud Alslks
over the Commoa Red.

Until within few years not one
sowed any other variety OF clover
than the common red; but for somo
years past the mammoth, or pea-yine,
clover has been grown extensively,
and within the last three years the al
sike has been sown to some extent,
and will, | believe, be sown largely in
the future. have sown both these
varieties, and believe that there Is
legitimate place for them in our
farming. ] believe, when the main
object of sowing clover is To increase
the fertility OF the soil, that the mann
moth is the best variety TO SOW. Ii
makes much heavier growth. and
shades the land more perfectly than
the common red and furnishes moro
hahn TO plow down. 1t is not SO good
for hay as it is OF coarser growth, and
moro likely TO be damaged by lodg-
ing; yet this can be said in its favor.
that it will give nearly double the
quantity, and, as it is cut nearly
month later, it is better season TO
cure il, and | have had some OF the
most profitable hay crops | ever made
from this variety of clover-three
tons OF cured hay TO the acre, which
fed out as satisfactorily as any hay /
ever had.
In dry summer this will make
most satisfactory crop, for 1t will get
start in the spring, which shades tho
ground and protects the roots, and
will make a very heavy growth and
still stand up, and can be cured out
perfectly. In exceedingly wet seasons
il will make "A very heavy growth and
lodge. and then turn up and make
second growth, and will make very
poor hay. and IL is best then to cut IL
for seed, for the machine can be set 10
cut high and leave IA large amount OF
the straw on the land TO be plowed un-
der. This clover seeds in the first
crSp and makes heavier yield OF seed
than the common red. As far as my
observation goes, estimate that IL will
yield about onc-fourth more, averag-
ing four bushels OF seed TO the acre,
when the other averages three, and |
have known from five TO eight bushels
grown TO the acre This clover suits
the system OF farming here in tho
Miami valley, whore corn and wheat
are the great staples, for with our
corn fodder and immense straw stacks
we need but little hay. and it is almost
impossible for the farmer who has n
large corn crop TO cultivate TO spare
the time in early June TO cut twenty TO
thirty acres Of clover and mako IL into
hay. Then clover sod, II il can bc
plowed early, makes the best prepare
tion for wheat; but il we leave the sec
ond crop TO make seed. it is usually
too late TO break the field for wheat by
the time the seed is cured enough 10
thrcsh. With the mammoth clover
nothing needs TO be done until after
wheat harvest, when IL can be cut and
threshcd early in August. Cor. Coun-
try Gentleman.
