When to Breed Young Fillies.

National Horse Breeder: There is
quite a difference OF opinion among
breeders as to the proper time to COM
mence breeding fillies.
We have had considerable experience
during the past fifteen years in breed
ing mares, having bred large number
during that time, both for ourselves
and those who patronized the stall
ions We kept for public service.
We have always advocated breeding
the fillies at two years old, ii it is the
intention to breed them at all, as in
our opinion they will foal their first
colt when three years old with less
danger to themselves than when four
and five years old, for the following
reasons, The mare not being so fully
matured as at four or five years old,
her bones and muscles are not so
firmly knit. hence will give more read
ily; also, the foal OF the three-year-old
mare Will generally be smaller at birth.
thereby lessening the danger OF the
mare having trouble.
We have never known a three-year-
old mare to have trouble in foaling.
although We have known quite a num-
ber OF fine mares being lost by not be-
ing able to toal their first colt when
five tn seven years old.
Two-year-Oh fillies should not be
bred too early in the season; il would
be better to have them foal i'm July
than before grass comes IN the spring.
as they will do far better ii they can
have run on grass month or more
before foaling.
We believe that mares that have
their first colts Mt three years make
better and more regular breeders, ami
i'm our opinion the breeder who allows
a good two-year-old to run over with
out being stinted to "a well-bred, ma
tured stallion is losing valuable time.
We say breed the fillies to matured
stations, tor III breeding horses, as
with all other kinds OF stock, ii young.
immature males be used the stock will

A GALLANT RESCUE.


PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 4.-The Ledger's
Cape May special says: President Har-
rison and Secretary Blaine, while
strolling on the beach this morning,
were involuntary witnesses OF a strug-
gle for life in the surf by several bath
ers. A short distance from shore a
raft was anchored. The tide was be-
ginning to run out, when an unusually
large wave came rushingin. The wave
struck the raft and swept over it.
sweeping some bathers on it into the
water. Among those who were swept
of was Mrs. Dimmick, niece OF Mrs.
Harrison, but fortunately, before she
realized her danger she was caught by
John Bickman and dragged into shall
low water. Miss Florence Hazard,
who 10 a good swimmer, had boldly
dived into the breakers, but she mis-
the power OF the outgoing
water and was being drawn out to sea
when she was rescued and brought to
the shore by her father. The big wave
also threw Miss McIlhenny OF Whining
ton into the water. and the tide car.
ried her out to sea. Carl Strauss went
to her assistance, but soon becameex-
hausted. A. W. Buck, seeing the peril
of the two, swan to them, but finding
himself unequal to the task OF bringing
them both in, told Strauss to save
himself and he would help Miss Nc
llhenny in. In the meanwhile the life
guard had launched his boat to 60 to
the rescue OF the struggling trio, but
before he got through the surf the boat
upset and he himself was dashed
against the raft and rendered helpless.
After struggle, during which Strauss
reached shore, Buck finally brought
Miss Mcllhenny to shoN. After Miss
was in safety Buck, ex-
hausted by the effort to save her. fell
in o fainting condition on the sands.
As Buck lay there the president kept
the crowd back. After a short time
Buck recovered sufficiently to go to
his hotel

vaseline for Cleaning Shoes.

1t is not generally known that the
easiest way to clean shoes or rubber
overshoes which have become muddy
is with vaselina. 4 little. .'swab" of
flannel on the end OF stick Is good
ior this purpose. Even il the vaseline
touches the hands it forms a coating
over them so that the task is not so
unpleasant as il otherwise would be.
Such n dressing as this is sufficient tor
some fine kid shoes, but Others may
need a coat OF polish. II the polish is
put on after a coat of vaseline it is not
liable To crack the leather and it last :
much longer. Rubber overshoes, e.
pecially, look much better and last
much longer II cleaned in this way
than if they are washed with water

Washington, June 6.--The following
letter was mailed two days ago, and is
expected to appear in the Vicksburg
Herald tomorrow morning:
Editor vicksburg Herald, vicksburg, Miss.i
Dear Sir-The undersigned men,
bers Of the Executive Board, represent
ing the Executive Committee of the
Interstate Mississippi River Improve
ment and Levee Association, who
have been here for month In the in.
terests Of the river, desire to commu-
nicate through your yalsablo paper to
the public the fact that we regard the
proposed retirement of Hon. I. G..
Catcbings from Congress, If carried
out, as q positive calamity to the Mis-
issippi River interest.
This statement is made of our own
volition and wholly without the
knowledge of Mr. Catchings or his
friends, and we desire now earnestly
to protest against occupying the posi-
tion of debating in anywise to people
of your district as TO whom they should
or should not select as their Repre-
sentative. Mr.. Catchings occupies an
influential position on the Rivers and
Harbors Committee in the House.
ais place on that committee could not
be filed by new man, if one should
be placed there, but which will not be
done. We arc told by many members
of Congress here that Mr.. Catchings Is
regarded as authority on river matters.
His recent speech was very compre-
hensiye one, and Is so regarded here
by all.
We make this statement solely, but
earnestly, in the belief that we UNDER
stand the situation here, and that we
do not over-estimate his value in the
work that we came here to accomplish.
We are sure our labors here have
largely rcvolutionized public senti-
mcnt, and that the Mississippi River
and Valley stand better in public
opinion to-day than at any time here
tofore. Their value, commercially, is
being understood, and the best method
for protection of the alluvial country
against high waters is now engaging
universal attention.
This we have done by conferences
with members of Congress and by the
free use of printers ink in the dissem-
ination of correct facts relative TO the
river and It's control, in which work
we are still engaged.
Very respectfully yours,
THOMAS w. SHIELDS, Illinois,
PATRICK HENRY, Arkansas,
+. w. GOULD, st. Louis,
JOHN II. RICE, Kansas.
OF Executive Board.
In this connection IL may be stated
that in order not to make comparisons
invidious to any other gentlemen In
the House who are friends Of the river,
that the members of the Board who
wrote the foregoing letter did not state
as strongly as they might have done
the great value of Gen. Catchings'
services in Congress TO the Mississippi.
Living as he does on the river, he has
made Of 1t a most exhaustive study
and is always appealed TO when any
matter affecting its interests il brought
up. lie is easily the most influential
and best informed member In Congress
on the subject Of the river and bis
retirement is here looked upon as a
calamity TO the entiv= 49, <-'+1'- -

Your Committee has considered this
matter in all its bearings; are person
ally familiar with the unhappy results
produced by these overilows. They
deem the region thus affected of enor-
nous intrinsic value, capable of raising
hundreds of millions of dollars annual
ly in products, aud that its protection
by all available processes and means is
a work eminently proper and the duty
of the general Government to under
take and perform. Your committee
therefore recommend the adoption OF
these resolutions:
Resolved, That this Chamber re-
CARDS the continued overilows of our
great inland sea, the Mississippi
River, carrying with them losses OF
life and property and devastation of
most fertile regions, as national
disaster.
Resolved, That we respectfully
request the President of the
United States to bring this import
ant matter to the attention of
Congress, and we most earnestly urge
upon Congress the wisdom and im-
portance of adopting promptly such
measures as experience. the results of
the Mississippi River Commission
work and the Judgment of the United
States Corps of Engineers shall deter
mine TO be needed to create a pcrma-
nent protection against the overflow
of the river, aud that the required ap-
preparation of money to at once begin
and finally complete those measures
be made by Congress at this session.
Resolved, That q copy of these
resolutions be sent to the Chambers Of
Commerce of our sister cities through
out the United States, and that they
are hereby respectfully requested to
take such action as the Importance of
this great subject demands.
Resolved. That copy of these reso-
lutions, and Of the petition to this
subject, be sent to each member of the
Senate and House of Representatives
of tho United States and to the press
of the country, and that the chairman
appoint committee Of nine, of whom
he shall be chairman ex-oflicio, to go
to Washington and personally lay this
matter before the President and Con-
gress. Respectfully submitted,

Shortly after my arrival it came

when l was u boy. 1t was differ
ent from this. We had generally
about three shotes to kill, and we
waited most always until the
weather was so cold that we could
not pillow. Then we butchered.
We began about daylight to heat
water for scalding purposes. Then
we climbed the fence and began
series of uncalled for yet bitter and
personal attacks on the elder ma
ternal hog, while her ear piercing
squeals rent the sky and her hot
blood spattered our neat little over
alls. All day we alternately
scorched ourselves or froze to death,
and at night three fabby, waxen

of compassion or other viscera,
pried open so that the November
wind could sough through their
pulseless forms or daily with their
leaf lard through the long and
trigid hours, hung in row. Then
came the days when all through
the dear old homestead the smell
of nice hot lard sought out every
corner and even pervaded the beau
tiful brown linen Sabbath school
suit, which caught and retained
the ravishing fragrance for years
after.
