PreIIer's Uneasy Ghost.

A ST. Louis dispatch to the New
York Times says: A ghost story OF
large proportions has been radl-
atlng from the southern Hotel tor
three days. In Room IA, in
April, 1886, Maxwell chlOrofOrmed

robbng the body, he packed it in
a trunk, where 1t lay for two
weeks. Siuce then the guests who
have occupied the room have had
strange experiences. The hotel
people at first laughed at their
fears, but the laugh soon turned to
a sickly smile when some Of the
brave employees tried to sleep all
night III the apartment. GrOans
and fTghtful noises, alternating
with the opening and shutting of
wardrobe doors, created panic
among the employees and guests.
Finally the reported horrors Of
room IA spread to such an extent
among the travelling public that
the room could not be assigned.
Then the hotel people changed the

had no effect on the circus. Last
week Que of the best-knOwn men
in the city occupied the room for
three nights, aud was then forced
out. He is a man Of sound sense

Live Stock Notes.

A ledky roof on the barn or
stables not only entails loss
through damage from moisture,
bat also ioj ures the health of the
stock.
If your supply Of hay is short
use your straw and fodder as part
of the daily ration. Any deficiency
in the coarse food can be supplied
with extra grain. In fact, any
ration can be balanced by the
iudlcious use of ground grain and
cotton seed OF Iinseed meal.
All American sheep will produce
creditable nut ton. But to pro-
duce mutton there must be the
proper food, and food will greatly
improve the quality of Mauno
mutton. Still the mutton breeds
are the more natural mutton pro-
ducers, and with proper care
readily produce the best mutton.

FARM and HOUSEHOLD.
FARM DEPENDENCY.

One of the principal advantages
in keeping up the fertility of the
farm, is that it places the farmer IN
a condition to increase the number
of stock kept on the farm. Fer
tihty of soil is an important item,
not only with the cultivated fields
but with the meadows and pastures
as well. If the farm is to feed the
largest number Of stock possible
keeping them in good, thrifty con-
dition, It is very important that
every acre on the farm should De
made to yield the largest possible
crop, and a nice soil is the tounda-
ton of this. 1t requires good
management-goOd farmlng-to
grow crops every year and at the
same time build up the fertility,
YET it can be done by adopting a
regular system of rotation, keep
ing a sufficient number OF stock to
consume all the products of. the
fArm, making, saving, and apply
,ag all the manure possible TAX
ing pains to secure the largest
yield by thorough preparation,
good seed and cultivation.
y rich soil IS one important item,
but in addition, If the best Weld Is
secured, it must be well prepared
the seed be of good quality ana
carefully planted in good season.
and then through cultivation be
given az the right time and in the
prop er manner. y failure OF any
one of these essential conditions
will affect the growth and YIELD
and in doing this will affect lndi'
rectly the number OF stock that
can be Kept upon the farm
Anything that increases or de-
creases theyield of the crops affects
the number Of stock that can be
kept, and the supply OF manure IS
dependent very largely upon the
number of stock kept, so that all
through a system of farm opera
items, one part is dependent upon
the other, and the increasing OF
one increases all OF the others, so
it is important to so manage the
farm operations, that the best
fertility is maintaiued.-N. d.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.

The best tool a farmer has IS his
brain.
Take time to read and study
about your work and you will ac'
complish more.
One advantage in keeping care
ful farm accounts is that they en-
able you to determine what pro
ducts of the farm are profitable and
which are not.
y crop OF colts, a crop of early
lambs, plenty of the best butter
from each COW, and lots of pigs to
sell is a good foundation tor sue.
cesstul farming.
Never too old to learn, Is very
applicable to the farmer, for IN no
other calling does a man have such
opportunity to learn from nature,
the best educator Of all.
Farmer fathers, give your boys
and girls such instruction that
they Will be leaders and bulwarks

whether they 90 into the city or
stay on the farm.
There are farmers in almost every
community who do not seem To
realize that this is az age Of
progress, and that if they are to
hold their place or 90 forward,
they must be alive, and keeuly
alive, to the times ia which they
live.

CHANCES MURDERERS TAKE.
CRIMINAL PROCEDURE ENCOUR.
AGES THEM TO A GREAT
EXTENT.


District Attorney Fellows, after
years experience as official in
that capacity for the city of New
York, thinks that criminal law
may be improved in many respects.
One thing which bandicaps dis
trict attorney is the power OF the
criminal condemned to death, to
appear at the very last moment
and thus take desp crate, chances
for the preservation for their lives.
"In this way continued Colonel
Fellows, "the peoples represen-
tatlve is bound hand and foot, at
the mercy of the convicVs ounsel.
Counsel know this, and so does the
convicted man. He hopes always
for the best, for so long as he lives
he hopes. BY appeals to higher
courts, and to the Governor, or by
technlcallties of the law, there are,
he thinks, chances sure to turn up
in his favor. Through a long
education of this kind criminals in
this town have become hardened
and careless, quick to kill a victim
when their blood is reused. When
a man is arraigDed at bar for
murder, and both he and his
counsel know that a murder was
committed, the prisoner Is willing
to take a fighIiDg chance. You
say he's got to take a fighting
chance : That isn't the notion i
wish to convey. He is willing to
take a fighting chance before a
Judge and jury, just as be was be-
fore he committed the murder, and
that's the kind of sentiment in the
community that breeds murder. A
soldiers chance, did you ever think
what it is? Every soldier knows
the story that 1t takes ton of lead
in the shape of bullets shot on the
battle. field to kill y soldier. Every
sold Ter who goes into battle thinks
he will be one to escape death,
otherwise you would not get an
army of men together. IT twenty

about SIX miles long, and l was at
the right Of the second line. AS
we came into action, and the sound
of the musketry grew louder and
louder yet, the balls whistled
around me on all sides, above and
below. The infantry drowned the
noise OF the artillery. What Inn

HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS.

Dark carpets do not need 10 DO
swept oCtener than light ones, II
you give them a good busting, say
twice a week, with flannel cloth
tied around an ordinary broom.
If you are building, put the
hooks in children's bedroom closets
low enough to be easily reached by
them. 1t is also a good lGea to
have a closet SO arranged that
sleds, rocking horses, aud all large
playthings can have a place.
Rags, unless of new cloth or one
knows they are clean, should be
washed before being put IN the
bag; and it must be remembered
that rags which may appear clean
to the sense of sight may be OBJ
iectionable to that OF smell.
Old tablecloths, which are thin
in spots, will last a long time II
the best parts are made into dish
towels; also Lancaster or other
spreads, when past use on beds,
NAV be utilized as face towels;
being rough, they answer IN a
measure for those known as
Turkish.
In teaching a child to unite a
double bow kuot-that is, one with
two loOps-be sure he has hold OF
both ends Of the strings before he
begins to pull, else the chances are
that he will get it into hard knot,
which will require much time and
patience on MS part, or less on that
of the teacher to get out.
A convenient article for a house
keeper is a kindlDg box. 1t is an
oblong box, long enough to hold
kindling wood, having a parting
through the middle, thus making
a place for shavings also. The
partition should be higher IN the
middle than the top of the box,
and contain slit wide enough to
allow the four fingers to enter, thus
forming a handle.
1t sometimes happens that a
housekeeper by changing her stove
for new one, or by a purchase at
auction, or in some other way,
finds herself in possession of a
kettle steamer which Is too small
for the hole of the stove. In such
a case an iron ring, made to fit IN
side the hole will remedy the
trouble and allow the use of the
utcusll. These rings may be 90
tanned of a stove dealer.
Dust has such a sad way of
insinuating itself wherever there is
a place for it to lodge or work
through, that hOusekeepers are al
most distracted to find brOOms and
busters that will fit in every nook
and crevlce. A long handled
feather buster, a shOrt-handled
feather duster, a toy broom, a
whisk broom, a fat bristle brush, a
paint brush, and the ordinary
cheese,cloth busters seem to do all
