HOW GRANT MET DEATH.
HIS Physician Thinks Him the Braves
Man He Ever Saw.

HIS Physician Thinks Him the Bravest
Man He Ever Saw.
''Ihe bravest person in the face of
death l have ever seen was General
Grant," said DR.. Shrady in recent
interview. General Grant in his last
illness was an example of man who
could face death without fear. Grant
was a man who had faced death manv
a time and had schooled himself to ex-
pect it.
HE was prepared in every way for
it, and | think that every thing that
has been said about his bravery and
his firm determination to be hero to
the very last has not been exaggerated
at all. To one who saw him during
his trial-and it was one of the most
severe trials any one could have-he
appeared to be the typical hero.
He was the type of thoroughly
well-educated man, who, like all edu-
Gated men, did not expect impossible
things to occur, and knowing that he
had to die, he faced it bravely. He
said to me one day:
"T have been thinking of taking
this journey all my life, and now that
the time has come am ready to start.
''This was the only reference 1 ever
heard him make to his approaching
end.
His great idea was to be free from
pain if possible, and he asked me if it
could be guaranteed, thus showing that
his mind was fully made up to the in
evitable character of the disease and
the end that was to come. | assured
him that it was quite possible, and we
kept our promise.
He died without pain, which was
his reward. He faced the music like
the grand old soldier that ne was.
He was no doubt buoyed up by the
sympathy Of his friends. He would sit
and look off in the distance in a sad
and dreamy sort of way, which i'm.
pressed those about him with the fact
that his thoughts were beyond the line
of time.
TO sum up, he was type to all the
world of how a man can meet death
with calmness and bravery. IN. Y

Build Barns So That They Can Not Harbor
Rodents from Terriers.
Most of the barns put up in our
country are about as perfect rat war;
rens as can be contrived. The floor Of
the cellar should be cemented, and It's
walls made of brick or stone. If rot
then gets down the stairs into it, he is
easily caught by dog, as he can make
no hole here to crawl out. Nothing
in the upper stories should be piled so
close to the sides of the building as TO
prevent a small dog and large cat
getting between, to catch any vermin
nesting there. All grain or meal bins
and boxes must be covered with tin,
zinc or sheet iron, to prevent rats and
mice gnawing through to eat them.
Many rats may be got rid of in the
following easy manner: Take four
pieces of joist, three feet or more long,
and nail boards to these to make
square space inside. Set the lower
boards three inches or more above the
foot of the joist, so as to leave space
for rats to run under them Scatter
corn on the ground in the center of the
pen, a yard or two long and wide; lay
down joist at two ends OF this, and
then cover the corn with boards. Place
this near the barn. and it will make
nice warren for rats; and by tolling
them with few kernels of corn from
hnfs 70 e
they will soon make their home
under the boards inside. After get
ting well settled there, sink the
foot of each post so deep into the
ground as to bring the edge Of the
lowest board of the pen close to the
ground, SC that no rat can crawl uu.
der it to escape. Now put into thepen
one or more dogs. that have been
trained to hunt rats; lift up the boards
under which they have harbored, and
there will be lively time in catching
them.

have before me several inquiries
about the best modes of planting Irish
potatoes, and l will dispose of them,
rather summarily, by giving a review
of what ] consider the essential points.
1. Prepare the land so thoroughly
that the whole depth of the surface
soil is perfectly broken up and mel
low.
2. Be liberal with fertilizer, select
ing high-grade, special potato ma

the particular case besD, applying
part of it broadcast, and part in the
drills above the seed pieces.
3. Strike out burrows three feet
apart. running a trenching pillow or
winged shovel pillow repeatedly in the
bottom of the furrow without going
into the subsoil; then refill the burrows
partly before planting, so that the seed
will be four inches below the level Of
the ground,
4. Select varieties known to do we'll
in your particular locality, and use
fresh, plump seed.
5. Place a good-sized chunk, with as
few eyes as you wish, every six to
eighteen inches apart in the row, ac-
cording to variety whether dwarf or
tally, size OF pieces and local con-
ditions; then cover two inches deep,
putting the fertilizer on top
g. When the young plants begin to
push through the two-inch covering,
gradually fill up the trenches by Civ
ing the field thorough narrowing
with the smoothing harrow. Repeat
the narrowing once or twice, until the
plants are we'll up.
z. Afterward to keep the surface of
the ground between the rows thor
oughly pulverized by the free use of
the horse-hoe-one with very narrow
blades.
8. Prevent injury from potato
beetles, by keeping the vines well
busted with a mixture of Paris green
and plaster-one pound OF the former
to barrel of the latter-well shaken
before taken.
9. At last cultivation, just before
the vines occupy the entire ground,
use blades that will throw just enough
soil upon the rows to choke out what
weeds may have started among the
plants. and Fireside.

POISONOUS WALLPAPER.

Some New Facts Prescribed by the BIOS.
ton Medical improvement Society.
The subject of poisonous paper
hangings has lately been discussed. in
the light of some new facts. by the
Boston Society for Medical Improve
ment.
Some of the important papers still
contain arsenic in quite dangerous
amounts. and even American manufact-
urers, though they use less arsenic
than formerly, are not yet wholly
within the limits of safety. 1t is found
that one-tnird of a grain to square
yard is decidedly deleterious; but
papers are in use that analysis shows
to contain ten, fifteen, and even twenty
grains.
The following are important facts in
the case:
l. The harm varies, as would natur-
ally be supposed, inversely with the
individuals power of elimination.
This power may be fully adequate in
some persons, and quite inadequate in
others.
2. The symptoms of two persons in
Juriously affected by the same expos
ure and the results may be quite diff
ferent. Inflammation of the kidneys for
instance, may be induced in the one,
and not at all in the other
3. Arsenic may not give rise to the
ordinary symptoms of arsenical poi
soning, but may stir up and strengthen
dormant, morbid tendencies, and thus
divert attention from the true disturb
ing cause.
4. While one-third of grain to a
square yard is likely to harm an adult.
young child may be injured by a
mere trace, and the cause of the trouble
may be wholly unsupported.
5. While arsenic is not a cumulative
poison, like lead, yet it is very slowly
eliminated from the body. It requires
weeks, and sometimes even months, to
effect its complete expulsion after re-
moval from an arsenious atmosphere.
Hence inhaling it constantly, perhaps
day and night, may cause very dan
gerous accumulation of the poison in
the system. This accumulation will
be very rapid If the organs of elimina-
ton, one or more of them, are feeble.
6. A new and conclusive method of
detecting the presence of arsenic in
the system has been discovered, which
leaves no room for doubt This test
has been applied in many cases, and
has led to the removal of the paper
from the wall, or of the patient from
the room, followed by relief, and. in
due time. by full cure.
z. The covering of arsenical paper
by non-arsenical is not sufficient to re.
move danger, for though this expedi-
ent may prevent the arsenical dust
from impregnating the air, yet it is
surmised that moisture develops a
volatile arsenious compound, which
readily finds its way into the air of the
room Youths Companion.

MONTAGUE, TEX, July 1O.-The
weather for the past few days has been
very warm. This, however. has been
favorable for the. cotton crop. The ele-
ments indicate rain soon. While this
section has had great deal of rain, it
has not done the damage that other pOr-
tions of the state have sustained. Far
mers generally have got their crops in
fair condition, and the prospect for q
heavy crop of corn and cotton has not
been better for a number of years.

A Western Montana paper reports this
gloomy condition of things: EVERY
day pasturage in the Bitter Root valley
becomes more and more scarce, and it
will only be matter of a few months
till all the cattle and sheep in the valley
will have to be transferred to more fer
tile pasture ground. Farmers have been
complaining continually of the scarcity of
feed for cattle, until now it has reached
a climax where even sheep are
forced to give way to a more
destructive element-the grasshoD-
per. Unless rain IN large quantities Is
soon received there is little prospect of
rauchers beng able TO winter any of their
cattle in the valley. Everything, crops,
hay and produce of all kinds is whitening
up for want of moisture, and the outlook
at present is dc9iaedly gloomy for the
the ranchers in that district hay
famine, and one of the worst kind !,
should be prepared for by all the cattle
owners in the country
