At Mount Eagle, about eight miles
from charlottesville, Albermarle County,
Va, there is largo residence, on the
windows OF which from the outside can
be seen the photograph of a mans head
and shoulders, the head and shoulders
of woman and child, and In another
pane OF glass the distinct outlines of a
cat. The theory is that the parties
were looking through the windows al
the river during storm, aud fash OF
lightning photographed them indeli5ly
on the glass, but 1t is not known who they
were. The pictures cannot be seen from
the inside, but that they can BE- plainly
seen from the outside is vouched for by
prominent citizens of Charlottesville.

German
Syrup"

Here is something from Mr. Frank
A. Hale, proprietor of the De Witt
House, Lewiston, and the Tontine
Hotel, Brunswick, Me. Hotel men
meet the world as it comes and goes,
and are not slow in sizing people
and things up for what they are
worth. He says that he has lost a
father and several brothers and sis
tiers from Pulmonary Consumption,
and is himself frequently troubled
with colds, and he
Hereditary often coughs enough
to make him sick at
Consumptionhis stomach. When
ever he has taken q
cold Of this kind he uses Boschee's
German Syrup, and it cures him
every time. Here is a man who
knows the full danger Of lung trout
bles, and would therefore be most
particular as to the medicine he used.
What is his opinion? Listen II
use nothing but Boschee's German
Syrup, and have advised, presume,
more than hundred different per-
sons to take it. They agree with
me that it is the best cough syrup
in the market" q

M,,,ak. In the Poultry business.

The author of the following should
have due credit, but it Is going the rounds
credited to an "eXchange:"
To think that a man who has never
been able to make living at anything
else-who has failed in everything else
can 90 into the poultry business and
make a ''grand success" of it.
To try TO keep 100 fowls through the
winter i'm a house that Is none too large
for half that number.
To neglect to provide comfortable
winter quarters for their poultry.
To waste food by throwing it on the
floor instead of feeding In troughs or
some other vessel.
To dose we'll fowls with all sorts of
stuff to "keep them we'll"
To think that any poultry powders"
or any ''egg food in creation. will make
your hens lay unless they have proper
food. comfortable quarters, and good
care besides.
To cram 80 cents worth of drugs down
the throat of sick chicken that wouldn't
be worth even a quarter II 1t was well.
To ventlate the poultry house through
cracks In the walls aud floors and holes
i'm the roof.
To put off until tomorrow or next
day" the things that ought TO be done
to-day
To feed one kind OF food 365 days in a
year.
To keep lot OF old hens that are 3
or years old.
To allow the poultry droppings to ac-
cumulate in the house for weeks at q
time.
To neglect to supply green food
regularly throughout the winter
| To give all the waste milk to pigs.
To buy an incubator before you know
enough about poultry to set hen.
To hatch out lot of chicks In mid
winter. or very early spring, unless you
have a suitable place In which to raise

for months and sometimes a year. They
appear dull and stupid. stand with their
heads up and eyes Wide open. but show
no desire 10 keep with the flock. They
grow poor and weak and finally die
with the appearance OF having starved
10 death. AS there Is but little hope OF
saving a sheep that shows these symp-
toms from any cause the best way is TO
kill them and see that they are deeply
buried; or, II medicines are to be tried,
put the patient In pen where the excre-
ment can be scraped up and destroyed.
Turkeys are frequently troubled with
tape worms and show about the same
symptoms as sheep. Tut they are more
likely TO get rid OF them and recover,
may spread the trouble In that way.

IT FAKES a srEApy HAND.
Steering a Hook and ladder Truck No
Essy Work.


E'sy Work.
~Perhaps you think Il an easy thing 60
steer fire truck; 80 10 is-when you
know how" said gray haired hre laddie
the other day, as he nimbly vaulted out
OF his lofty seat on the tail Of the truck
after returning from false alarm a few
blocks away.
There are pra etlcally two men on the
truck; the man who drives and the man
who steers, continued the veteran. @I've
done both duties now for more than ten
years, and fatter myself that / know
something about them, but think that
the steerer has the harder Job OF the two. "
IL Is probable that any one who has
thought Of the matter at all has come TO
the same conclusion, for the deftness
with which hook and ladder truck is
swung around sharp corners, In its mad
race 10 fire, is something to be wondered
at by the onlookers.
The truc1 ttself Is about forty feet
long, and carries from six TO eight exten-
sion and several ife.saving ladders, the
longest OF the former projecting out be-
hind about ten feet. The truck Is drawn
by three strong and feet horses, which
are driven by man sitting OH high
seat in front. The members of the com
pany find standing room on the low plat
form which runs along either side OF the
truck below the body OF the conveyance,
while at the extreme end sits the steeIer
away up in the air. You scarcely see the
men between for looking at the driver
and his coad utOr at the other end. The
latter has his hand on a big wheel like an
enormous brake on a freight car. on
which he keeps his lands firmly closed
Meanwhile his eyes are on the DIR ver
He sees the driver turn a corner, and he
Is ready in an instant If his eye was
not true and his hand brawny and steady
the unwieldy vehicle would he dashed
into lamp post or even into building
in twipk!ing
But the sloerer knows his business.
At just the critical moment he turns his
iron wheel this way or that way, and the
heavy wheels of the truck, which an
swers to his touch as the ship answers
her helm, barely touch the curb and In
moment swing into direct line with the
forward wheels, and the machine dashes
on until the same dangerous maneuver
is repeated at the next corner.
Every fireman connected with the sew
eral hook and ladder companies is Taught
both to drive and to steer but in some
way the duties are apt to devolve upon
the most competent in the company, and
so II Is that one man or another comes to
do the sane work year after year. and
good work gains for him reputation for
his specially. Beginners arc taught their
duties in that direction By handling the
truck on the returns from fires, and little
by little learn skill from experience

The enactment of law by which
liberal increase of endowment is made to
the agricultural colleges, is an evidence
that Congress appreciates fully the i'm
portance of technical education for fern
ers. Farmers, SAYS Henry Stewart in
Practical Farmer, are to be considered in
the light of public servants in great
measure. Their industry provides food
and clothing for the people. 1t is the
most important of all arts, and it is
based upon scientific knowledge which Is
not afforded by ordinary means of educa-
ton.
1t Is an accepted principle of our free
and liberal Government that the educa-
tion CT the young is public charge and
duty. This was fundamental princi-
pie of the ancient republics, and is UNI
ouestionably the basis of any tree aud
popular government in which every citi-
zen IL at once sovereign and a public
servant. This idea has been recognized
I'm the establishment Of agricultural col
leges and experiment stations, and under
our present system Of protection to ma
tive industries IL becomes right that
agriculture should receive its share,
which cannot be given In any practicable
way in any other manner than by giving
every facility to farmers to make their
industry as productive and profitable as
possible.
The greatest need OF the farmers OF
the present time is thorough education.
Agriculture Is based on vast system oil
scientific knowledge which is to be ac-
quired not only through well conducted
agricultural journals but by means OF
technical schools for the young. The
schools lay the foundation which the ag'
rlcultural press must be constantly
building upon and enlarging; and the ex
listing colleges need be made more eff.
cient- The new appropriation of Sl5,
600 annually for each college, with az
increase OF $1,000 yearly until the
amount reaches $4,000, Is thus JUS
recognition by the Government OF wha
| is a pressing need of the farmers.

Pellets have done their work.
It's a healthy movement, too
"a natural one. The organs
are not forced into activity
one day, to sink back into a
worse state the next. They're
cleansed and regulated-mild-
ly and quietly, without wrench
ing or gripping. One tiny,
sugar-coated Pellet is all that's
needed as a gentle laxative;
three to four act as a cathar-
tic. They're the smallest,
cheapest, the easiest to take.
Sick Headache, Bilious Head

Bilious Attacks, and all de-
rangements of the Liver,

Household Hints.

RICE, boiled very dry, is acceptably
served with fish instead of potatoes.
A SMALL bag of sulphur kept in a
drawer will prove an absolute preven-
tive to red ants.
STRAINED ankle has been ,,arad in m
honr by showering with hot water poured
from a height of few feet.
COMMON washing soda and boiling
water should be used to rinse all the
waste pipes at least once a week or ten
days.
IT Is said that whole cloves put into a
chest with WOODEN goods are a better
preventative against moths than cedar
shavings, tobacco or camphor.
SILVER spoons and forks in daily use
may be kept bright by leaving them in
strong borax water several hours. The
water should be boiling when they are
put in.

resumes its natural weight and returns
