MRS. GARFIELD's FORTUNE.

The subscription raised for Mrs. Gar
field through the instrumentality of Cyrus
W. Field aggregated, when invested in
Government bonds, about three hundred
and twelve thousand dollars. General
Garfeld's life was insured for $50, 900,
the payment of which the companies, for
the sake of the extended advertisement it
would give them, if for no other pur-
pose, promptly made. Congress also voted
her the remainder of the salary which
would have been due General Garfield for
the first year of service as President,
which amounted to $40, 900. The little
estate which Garfield left aggregated
some $50, 900. This was all that he had
been able to accumulate after life of
unusual activity. This makes her total
estate in round numbers, about four hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars in money
well invested. From this an income of
probably sixteen thousand dollars is de-
rived. In addition to that she has from
Congress an annual pension of $4,000,
which is now voted TO the widows of all
ex-Presidents. This fortune hasn't de-
creased since James A. Garfeld's death.

A Prison Keeper's Nerve.

A shipmaster of my acquaintance, who
has been very successful as warden in
more than one penal institution, told me
that he once heard that criminal con-
fined under his control had said that he
would kill the warden on the first op-
portunity. Captain E. said nothing, but
the next afternoon, when hehad an hours
leisure, sent for the man. "Bill," let us
call him, found the captain strapping his
razor. "Oh, BILL is that yous" ex-
claimed the warden. "Well, never mind,
can you shave2" The man replied that
he had often shaved his companions.
"All right, suppose see what kind of a
barber you are2" With that he took a
seat in his chair, handed the criminal the
razor, and was shaved. "Bill" went faith
fully through his duty, and when he had
finished the captain said: "They told
me that you were watching for chance
to kill me, so I thought would give you
as good one as you could ask for; that
was all" "Bill" skunk sheepishly way,
and from thence the captain had no firmer
friend than the desperate criminal.-Bos-
ton ITareler.

CURIOUS BONNETS.

A novelty in bonnets which is an Eng
ish invention is called the "collapsible. "
It can be folded fat and used as fan. 1t
is 'sguinea" bonnet in England ($5),
made of silk and ribbon, and should GER
tainly be boon for travelling, for it is
said to be as stylish as it is light and uni
versally becoming.
The daintiest bonnets, however, for
summer are severely simple in trimming,
made of exquisitely fine fancy straw or of
plain black net or some sheer silken gauze
so transparent when pulled over the frame
as to show the coiffure beneath. Little
bonnets quite similar in shape to last sea-
sons remain the rule excepting for young
ladies. There are many charming pic
turesque hats for youthful faces. These
hats are varieties of the Directoire pokes
introduced at the beginning of the sea-
son, but less pronounced in style and not
so large. Such hats for country or car
riage wear are especially pretty made of
black Brussels net, exquisitely light and
almost transparent, trimmed with garland
of fine wild blossoms. English turbans,
of fine dark straw, with close turned
brims, simply trimmed with velvet bind
ing and close rosettes of fine ribbon OF
tulle, are used for travelling, shopping
and general wear by young ladies'

An Old ShOwman's Sleeping Van.

Old Adam Forepaugh has been in the
show business for forty years, and has
never missed a seasons personal attend.
ance upon his circus. While on the road
he has never been known to sleep in a
hotel. The show carries with it van
that looks like one of the animal dens.
It has an open top and sides, and is
equipped with a cot bed and toilet ne
cessaries. The old man sleeps in this
every night. He is given to a habit OF
arising at all hours of the night, and
making excursions through the tents.
There is no telling at what hour the
old man is likely to drop in, and the
result is that eternal vigilance is the price
of continued employment with 4-Paw.-

A. Wonderful Viaduct Bridge.

One of the wonders in railroad con-
struction is the Kinzua viaduct bridge
on the Bradford branch of the Erie Rail-
way. 1t il said to be the highest rail-
road bridge in the world, being 3O5 feet
high from the ground to the top of the
rail. By en- arrangement with the Erie
the Rochester 6 Pittsburg also runs over
it. A man is keep constantly patroing
the bridge to insure safety. Being To-
Gated in wild and beautiful region it is
a famous resort for picnics and excur-
sions, and as an attraction it is one of the
Erie's greatest cards. No person who
can spare the time ever misses the pleas
ure of visiting it when near Bradford

BUCKWHEAT.

The value of buckwheat as farm crop
is not fully appreciated by all farmers.
When thousands of acres of virgin land
was being cleared by our forefathers,
buckwheat was always the first crop to
be planted. 1t was the only crop that
would catch well on such land and loosen
the soil properly for better crops. Buck
wheat contains less of the albuminoids
than wheat, but a greater amount of
starch end fat. It is, therefore, very fat
tening, and makes an excellent feed for
pigs and poultry. 1t will grow the best
where there is light soil, and it will
flourish under a greater rainful than other
grains.
As a second crop buckwheat cannot be
surpassed. Crops that have been des-
troyed by drought, insects or other causes
can be succeeded by buckwheat with good
results. New land is benefited by it in
several way. It loosens the soil and ex-
terminates the weeds. It is such rapid
grower that it will outgrow the weeds
and kill them. On new land it acts we'll
as a green fertilizer. If not cut, but
allowed to die on the field, the straw
makes valuable vegetable manure, which
every soil, new or old, requires more or
less Washington Star.

Electricity Does Not Hurt.

The experience of an electric light en-
ploye in Virginia City, New, cannot fail
to be interesting. Henry Fault received
shock from which he remained uncon-
scious for fifteen minutes, during which
time his heart showed no signs of pulsa-
ton. The palm was burned where he
had held the wire. The current passed
down through the right side of his body,
leaving no mark save where 1t left the
foot, the toes of which were scorched
black. Fault gives the following account
of his sensations:
After grasping the wire he was i'm
mediately drawn upward with irresistible
force and endeavored to shout for aid,
but, although another workman was but
three feet distant, his voice was not
audible. Although suspended by his
hands, with his toes resting on the boiler
plate floor for scarcely a second, Fault
says it appeared to him that he was in
that position several minutes. He felt
no pain whatever. This is the last he
remembers until restored to conscious
ness.-Detroit Free Press.

A VERY REMARKABLE WOMAN.

Miss Mary A. Newcomb, the Seattle
Queen of Texas, in many respects most
remarkable woman, died of apoplexy
recently, at Henrietta, Texas. She was
the daughter of the late Charles New
comb and a granddaughter of Judge
Newcomb, of Keene, N. H. Her mother
was Betty Hallett, of Cape Cod. Miss
Newcomb was born at Canton, ILL.,, and
spent many years in this State.
She graduated from Knox College and
afterward filed many places of honor and
trust. At one time she was Professor of
Mathematics at Wheaton College. Upon
her fathers death she became the actual
head of the family and took upon herself
duties which impaired her health. When
her mother died she took an invalid
nephew to Henrietta, Texas. There she
engaged in the real estate and stock busi-
ness. She was one of the few who sue
cessfully passed through the years of
financial depression, and during the agi-
tation over fence-cutting she gained the
respect of all.
Within eight years Miss Newcomb
amassed fortune, and she became known
as "The Cattle Queen of Texas" Her
ranch, well stocked with cattle and
horses, was enclosed by fifty miles OF
fencing. Her success was brought about
by her integrity and perseverance. She
gained many warm friends and she was
idolized by the members of her family.
The remains were brought to Farming
ton, ILL.,, for burial. Chicago Times.

CURING HORSES OF TONGUE LoLLNa.

There are several forms of bits in use
for curing horses of the habit of lolhng
or thrusting out the tongue when at
work or driven on the road. But in all
the forms the idea is to prevent the horse
from thrusting his tongue over the bit
and out of the mouth. Sometimes the
bar is bent up in the middle or has a
plate attached to rest on the tongue. You
can make an excellent bit by using a
leather bar with rings attached to each
end. In the back of the leather bar
fasten two small screw eyes about two
inches or little more apart. Then take
a piece of number ten wire seven inches
long, and bend it with two right angles
and an eye turned at each end and in
serted in the screw eyes in the leather
bar. This wire should lie loosely on the
tongue, but it will prevent it from being
passed over the bar and out of the mouth.

the life of her hair by frequent washing
in hot and cold water. We send out
from the house nineteen hands, who dress
hair by the season, contracting for the
entire family. They plan to give each
head combing twice week, and by
special arrangement make house-to-house
visits daily. Not a drop of water is put
on the hair, and every head is kept in
clean and healthy condition. We pin
our faith to a good brush, and prefer
short -bristled, narrow brush, backed
with olire or palm wood, to the elaborate
articles bound in silver or ivory. A brush
of this sort costs IS ceuts, but wear one
out every month. You see I use it not
only on the hair, but the scalp as well.
GA maid has to be taught how to
dress head of hair just as instruction is
needed in school-teaching or bread
making, and this training is part of my
duty. One object lesson is worth a
term of theory, and so in teaching one
novice operate on another.
'The first thing to do when the hair is
unpinned is to loosen it by lightly toss
ing it about. The operation need not
tangle it, and as the tresses are being
aired they fall into natural lengths. In
stead of beginning at the scalp the first
combing should start at the end of the
hair. In other words comb upward to
avoid tsngling, breaking and tearing the
hair out. This racking of the hair will
remove considerable dust. The scalp
should be cleaned in spots and sections,
and a fine tooth comb is indispensable.
It is not necessary to draw the comb
down through the hair. Dandruff can
be removed by combing the surface where
it has accumulated, and by slanting the
fine comb it may be brought from the
scalp without having to 60 the whole
length of the hair. As T said before, the
head should be cleansed in spots. When
the dead skin has been loosened, q thor
ough brushing is all that is required to
remove it. By thorough, I mean to spend
a full hour, first brushing the head and
then the hair to free it from the scurf
and eruptions of skin. Frequently this
can be accomplished by shaking out or
tanning the hair, and subsequent brush
ing will give the hair the glossy, silky
finish for which so much pomade is used.
"We have on our books family in
Guiding seven girls, for whom we have
done work since 1870. The hair was so
very poor that at the mothers suggestion
we tried the experiment of dry dressing;
that is, no water. Two of the daughters
have not wet their head, except while
bathing in the ocean, in thirteen years,
and in both cases the hair is abundant
and very beautiful in quality, one suit sur
passing in quantity that of the mother
and five sisters combined. It ismy ex-
perience that actresses, who take better
care of themselves than any other class of
women, are averse to wetting or washing
the head, depending entirely on maid
to keep it clean and orderly by means of
a comb and brush. ."-Neao York World.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Forethought is one good harvest hand.
The best incubator in the world is the
hen.
It is highly extravagant to use low
priced mower oil.
As rules black bees are not more
hardy than Italians.
Grow the pigs from the day of birth to
the day of slaughter.
Twelve hours with system harvests
more than sixteen hours without.
A well-known agriculturist claims that
Canada thistle can be eradicated by
smothering with clover.
An experienced poultry raiser Of Geor-
gia is confident that at the South poultry
cannot be made a success without good
shaded run for the fowls during the hot
months.
Rye which has been sown for pasturago
must be kept fed down closely. If it be
allowed to grow too much it will become
tough and woody; if fed closely it will
sprout, and if the ground be rich the
food will be abundant.
A correspondent of the Southern C,tlti-
gator emphasizes the hardness of Lang
shan fowls saying that they stand the
cold winters of the North and the hot
summers of the South better than any
breed he is acquainted with.
Poultry droppings make the best Of
manure for the garden. If you have not
already built tight bin for their preser-
| vation, you should do SO this winter.
Their droppings will buy one-third OF what
they will cat in twelve months.
How to make good warm breakfast
for forty fowls: Boil heaping half peck
of potatoes, mash them; add one quart
each of shorts and bran, tablespoonful
each of salt and pepper; add hot water
enough to mix into stiff dough.
That the farmer may establish quick
growing, beefy kind upon his farm, he is
only required to secure growthy speci-
mems good feeders-of breeds not akin,
and he will straightway obtain what he
desires. It is largely the throwing III of
new blood that tells upon herd, wise
selection never failing to make better
ment.
The testimony accumtlates that it is
better to feed mich COWS but twice per
day, as it is alleged that well fed COWS
can put in their time resting and remasti-
eating their food more protftably than to
spend it in any other way. The man who
thinks cow ought to be cantering all
over half bare pasture to get liveli-
hood doubtless does not believe IN the
above.
The introduction of the Pekin duck,
together with rapid strides In artificial
Matching, has made duck raising profit
able industry. Ducks are very hardy, en-
tirely free from vermin, and liable to few
diseases. They take to confinement much
better than fowls, and cheap (very low)
fence is sufficient to keep them in the de-
sired place. They stand transportation
better, either alive or dressed, than most
kind of fowls. They are great egg pro-
ducers, and their feathers are Of consid-
erable value.

TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
MAKE HENS DO YOUR FERTIL1zING.

A small flock of hens can be made very
useful if they are confined and allowed to
scratch over a pile of manure which is
placed under cover. They will make
the manure very fine, and thoroughly
mix it with whatever substance you may
desire to put with it, and besides will
find large part of their own subsistence
in the bugs and worms. Give them a
small pile at first, and add to it gradual
ly, after each days work. They do not
mind confinement as long as they are en-
ployed and find pay.-Farm, Field and
Stocbnaan.
