FRiGHTFUL EXPERIENCE.
How an Illinois Girl Lost and RegainoC
 the Power of Speech.

How an Illinois Girl Lost and Reeainod
 the Power of Speech.
 Miss Sue Sutton, of Mount Carmel, H., twenty miles south of here, some months ago suddenly lost her power of speech, writes Vincennes correspondent of tho St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Her voice was gone, and she could not utter g sound. The afliction baf11ed the aid of the physicians, who could not understand the case. Miss Sutton is very pretty and accomplished young lady twenty years of age. All other of her faculties were unimpaired, and she continued to go about her household duties, assisting her mother after the first shock produced by her affliction had passed oil. Thursday her mother sent her out to dig some potatoes. She went to the garden and stopped down and began to dig into the po- tato hills. Suddenly she felt 8 strange sensation and she strengthened up. She found herself nearly paralyzed. Her arms were entirely so. Almost overcome with horror with what she believed ts be null tiplication of her afliction, she managed to reach tho house. As she entered her mother sad: "Have you got enough potatoes al- readyw and looked toward her for an an- swer, which the mother expected would be made by motion of her head, as the girl could not speak.
 The young lady stood as if rooted to the floor. She could not move 0 muscle. Her arms were drawn up, half bent and totally paralyzed. The strange sensation increased. and for moment or two she stood looking at her mother with a peculiar stare Great drops of sweat stood out upon her, tremor passed through her frame. and suddenly all was over and she replied in strong voice: "Yes." To her great joy and astonishmept her voice had returned, her strange nerv. ous attack had passed away, and full use of her faculties had been suddenly and miracu. tously restored to her. Daughter and mother returned praise to the Supreme Giver of all gifts and rejoiced that tho strange a1liction had been remedied.

FACTS FOR FRUIT GROWERS

IT will pay to shake of a large proportion of tho fruit from trees that are overloaded.
 TIE codling moth does not lay It's eggs till the blossoms fall, and the spraying should not be done till the fruit Is the size Of small peas.
 GRAss growing around peach trees will do the tr6es more injury than any otacr source of damage. The peach orchard requires thorough cultivation.
 TIE strawberry patch should be given thorough cleaning of grass and weeds so as to allow the old plants to throw out run ners and to give the runners chance to root.
 Do NOT allow tho young tree to bear fruit the AfIt and second years. The production of fruit wi4 be at the expenseoof growth. Tho peach win often bear tho second year afteY planting. If kept back in that respect 1t will be In better condition for fruiting the next season.
 TIE largest branch starts from 0 bud, which slight movement of the fingers would haye broken oil. By going over young trees and rubbing oil buds that ap- pear where branches are not needed there will be very little pruning to be done when tho trees come into bearing
 APPLES should not be left fn orchards after picking. Dealers do this, and then after heavy frosts the fruit Is rushed into mar ket. 1t will not keep. Pick seasonably, ana at once store In cool cellars in shallow bins. The trouble of handling is not great when VIC consider the advantage of late keeping.
 ALL surplus fruit should be dried or evaporated. It Is 8 waste of land and fer tility to allow fruit to drop and rot It is expensive feeding for hogs, considering |%t, ooft ho inA nIy unless all fruit grown can be sold or ap- piled to family use it will pay to cut down the trees and devote the land to some other erOp

CREAMERY CULLlNGS.

THE deepcr the milk is set the less airing the cream gets while rising.
 CREAM makes better butter to rise in cold air than to rise in cold water, but 1t will rise sooper In cold water and the milk keep sweet longer.
 PoTAToBs at fifteen OF twenty cents . bushel arc cheap food for milch cows; better than turnips at any price, If fed in suitable proportion with grain and good hay.
 10 xAxB the fnest-davored and longest keeping butter the cream must undergo ripenine process by exposure to the oxy- gen of the air while 1t is rising. The ripen- Ing Is very tardy when the temperature is low.
 WHILE milk Is standing for cream to rise the purity of tho cream, and consequently the fine flavor and keeping of the butter, will be injured If the surface of the cream is exposed freely to air much warmer than the cream.
 AFTER cream becomes sour the more ripening the more 1t depreciates. The sooner 1t Ia then skinned and churned the better, but 1t should not be churned when too new. The best time for skimming and churning is just before acidity becomes ap- parent.
 TIE depth of setting should vary with the temperature; the lower l& Is the deeper milk may be set; the higher, the shallower 1t should be. Milk should never be set shallow in low temperature nor deep In Q high one. Setting deep in cold water econ omizes time, labor and space. WHEN cream is colder than the surround. ing air it takes up moisture and impurities from the air. When the air Is colder than the cream 1t takes up moisture and what. ever escapes from the cream In the former case the cream purifes the surrounding air, in tho latter case the air helps to purify the cream. The selection of 8 creamer should hinge on what is most desired, highest quality or greatest convenience and econ. omy In time, space and labor.

Samples of Canine Intolligence-A Cur
 That Climbs a Ladder.
 A large dog at ono of the Scranton hotels hscame very much attached to one of tho bcarders. He got in the habit of following this man on his leisure walks up town, ana the boarder liked to have him along. But on rainy day the dog didn't see the man start out, and the latter had not got around tho corner before the dog caught sight of him, The big dog was so ticklcd when he saw that his old companion was not far away that he dashed upand rubbed his great wet side against the gentleman's good clothes That was g form of boisterous familiarity not to be put up with, and the man spoke harshly to the dog and drove him back. The dogs sensitive nature resented this unkind treatment, writes a Scranton (Pa.) corre- spondelt of the New York Tribune, for from that day to this the man has never been able to get the dog to walk out with him, although he has dono every thing he could think of to win back the dog's friend ship, He followed the man once, but he did it much against pts will, and only after his owner had ordered him to. tt was thought the spell had been broken, but it hadn't, and he has refused to accompany the man except when his master has commanded him te, -~-.
 Another illustration of the dogs intelli. gence is told by the same gentleman. The dogs owner and he were in the reading room one day when the dog strode in and lay down on the carpet. "1 won't mention his nams or make any notions" said the landlord to his boarder, referring to the dog, "but I'll say something to you in an ordinary tone and sec if he will notice it." Then the landlord added: II think his place is behind the desk in front of the safe in- stead of in this room" The dog seemed to pay no attention to what had been said, but he got up right away, walked alowiy through the long hall, pushed the gate open back of the desk and lay down in front of the safe.
 Farmer Nicholas Griswold, of Random township, owns a mongrel dog that has learned to climb ladder. No one ever taught hlm how, but there was cozy hiding-place in mow of hay, where the boys wouldn't be apt to look for him, and the only way to get to it was up a slanting ladder. How he learned 1t Farmer Gris- wold doesn't know, for it is Q difficult thing for dog to do, but he did learn it, and when hc got tired of playing with the boys or when anybody whipped him or treated him in 6 shabby way, he slunk off to the barn, climbed up the ladder and hid him. self in the haY-mOw,

WELCOME FACE.
Tho Pro6l0 on thS Standard Dollar That
 Of Philadelphia Lady.

no FT0R1O on G0O SC0000f0 Dollar That
 of . Philadelphia Lady.
 Es:b scholar in tho Philadelphia Kinder garten Training-Scho who owns 0 Bland silver dollar possesses a first-rate picture of his or her teacher, says the Philadelphia Record. The confirmation by the Board of Education of the selection of Miss Anna M. Williams as instructor of philosophy and methods of kindergarten training is the latest laurel in the already fame -bcstrewn path of that lady, whose classic features have been stamped on millions of silver discs. Ten years ago Miss Williams sud- denly became famous when tho interesting announcement was made that her face was the original of the Goddess of Liberty on that much-abused, much-admired and equally as much disliked Bland dollar.
 The discovery was due to the efforts of reporter who worked eighteen months in tracing out the original of the goddess. The friends of Miss Williams placed every con- ceivable obstruction in the way, but un- successfully. The story of Miss Williams connection with the stamp upon the coin is interesting. In the early part of 1876 tho Treasury Department secured through com- munication with the Royal Mint of England the services of 8 clever young designer and engraver named George Morgan. Upon his arrival in this country the young engraver was located at the Philadelphia mint, and was assigned tho task of making design for new silver dollar.
 AfteP months of patient work ho com pleted his design for the reverse side of the coin, on which he represented the American eagle His attention was then turned to the other side and his first in- clinatlon was to place on 1t fanciful head of tho Goddess of Liberty. But the young designer was too much of a rcalist to be pleased with mere work of fancy. Final ly he determined that the head should be the representation of some American girl, and forthwith diligently searched for his beauteous ideal Through friend who had spoken to him of the classic profile of Miss Williams face he sought and obtained her acquaintance. Miss Williams was with difficulty induced by her friends to pose be- fore an artist, and after five sittings the 1 design was completed. The young design l CT declared that the profile was the most | perfect he had ever seen ip England or this l country. Miss Williams, around whom l this web of romance and fame clings, is a very estimable and modest lady. She re- sides with her mother and aunt at 1929 l Spring Garden street. She is still 8 pretty blonde, with pearl-like complexion, Is slight ly below the average height, and possesses | graceful, aplomb figure.
