Among the most notable characters
in Washington is Rev. DR.. Milburn,
the blind chaplain of the House of
Representatives. He is over 20 years
OF age. and hale and hearty. There
would be nothing remarkable in this
but for the fact that for the first half of
his existence DR.. Milburn was in very
delicate health and had no hope of
reaching the half century, or, indeed,
of ever being well. His experience may
be of value to many of our readers.
First, he is temperance man, though
veteran smoker. AS child he was
very fragile, and his eyes were so weak
that in school, from bending over his
books, he became affected with curva-
ture of the spide, curvature of the
breast bone, and disease of the heart.
Between 10 and 30 years of age he
weighed from l07 to lis pounds. At
the age of "a he became impressed
with the value of deep chest breathing,
and to this habit more than ANYTHING
else he attributes his long life and
splendid health. He increased his
chest measurement twelve inches and
his weight from fifty to sixty pounds.
lie cultivated breathing as the basis of
life, and he can now inhale and exhale
as large aquantity of air as any other
living man. He SAYS the average we'll
built man does not take into his lungs
over go cubic inches, whereas his
lungs ought to be capable of receiving
$50 inches. In the morning, before
arising, he removes all the bed cover
ing except the sheet, opens the win
dows TO admit fresh air, lies fiat on his
back, with knees drawn mp. and prac-
tees deep breathing for ten minutes,
taking in all the air his lungs will hold
and expelling it forciblv. He breathes
only through his nostrils, never
through the mouth He is careful as
to diet, cleanliness of person, regular
in habits, etc, but considers deep
breathing the secret which insures
cOo1 health

Clean Eggs.

One of the finest things for poultry
man to learn, says the Toronto Blade,
Is the fact that soiled and dirty eggs
should never be sent to market. Many
of the eggs that come in are tilthy-the
shells frequently stained with mud or
manure. Fastidious people-the only
ones who are willing to pay fancy"
pricc-will never buy such eggs if they
can help it. Clean the eggs before they
come to market. 1t will pay you we'll to

of going out in the cold, or any Over-eX-
ertron by carrying it. A zinc-lined box
is mounted on heavy brackets at the top
of the kitchen, or, still better, on the
floor of the attic. The heavy pipe shown
leads from spring or well into it, or it
may be made very large in the attic and
supplied from the caves. If the we'll be
depended upon a force pump will be
needed. When water has risen in the
box to a certain level it flows out of the
surplus pipe shown. The pipe running
TO the sink comes out of the bottom of
the box and caa drain off all the water
it holds, when it will at once fill again.
On a large scale, supplying the whole
house, the plan is an excellent, but costly
one. To fix for the kitchen alone is sim
pie and attended with little expense. 4
five-gallon can in which castor oil came,
can be bought at drug store for 10
cents. The housewife will gladly wash
it clean. Then little work. few feet

rowed pipe wrench will complete job

2tamn or EnyelOne

Do you moisten the stamp or the en-
celope when affixing the former to the
latter? Moistening the stamp has been
the prevailing practice, but if one uses
good many stamps he will be likely to
adopt the other method, especially if
the mucilage on the stamps is of the
quality that the government furnishes
to its patrons at times. There was
period during the Cleveland admins
tration when the muciiage was simply
vile, and no doubt many people then
formed the habit of applying the
tongue to the corner of the envelope
rather than to the back of the stamp.
This is in all probability the better
method; and in any case it sayesS most
unpleasant taste in the mouth if one IS
applying many stamps at time. With
a little practice it will be found quite as
easy as the more time honored custom,
and it has the inestimable advantage of
being more cleanlv.

An Everlasting Fence.


The best and cheapest fence on my
farm / built seventeen years ago, and it
is still good. The posts are cedar, set
eight feet apart with the end of the tim
Der which naturally stood up placed
down. This is the way to make the
fence: Let the posts 60 in the ground
thirty inches and project four and one
fourth to five feet above ground. A top
rail of two by four scantling is to be
mortiSed into the corners of the posts
and nailed fast. White oak pins are
turned uniformly one inch in diameter
and inserted in holes bored in every
other post. They must be previously
we'll seasoned and soaked in boiled oil.
The holes must be bored in the posts at
the exact point where the wire is to pass
it. To get the holes exactly right with
the least trouble, it is the best plan to
first bore a board for a pattern.
Now lay a wire along the line Of posts
coil one end of it around pin and
drive the pin in until its head imbcds the
wire in the post. Then drive a staple
over the end of the wire Now with
one man to handle and drive the pms
and another to stretch the wire by means
OF crOWbar or wire-Stretcher each time
pin is driven, fifty rods of fence may be
hung in one day. use five wires under
the scantling. Each time after pin is
driven the wire is slackcncd to allow it
to be twisted about another pin. These
pins are only placed on every second
post, the wires being staplcd to the inter-
vcning posts. The cost is as follows:
Two cedar posts at Is cents, 30 cents;
five plain wires, Nc. IL, Is cents; five
oak pins, ) cents; scantling, Il cents;
labor, 81 cents. Total, 81. The wire
rarely or never breaks as its contraction
and expansion are taken care of by these
pins George w. Humphrey, Onondaga

No Use for Fast Steamers

Who wants to cross the ocean in a
iltfy? What shall it profit a man to
take vacation simply to be shot from
one place to another as from a Cata-
putt? Everybody agrees that the most
restful thing about journey abroad is
the ocean voyage. The time spent on
the water, where one is cut off from
business, from mails, telegraphs, news
papers, society, and all that worries or
annoys, is the best medicine imaginable
for tired Americans. Why wish it
shortened? When one can cross the
ocean in two or three days, the advan-
tages and attractions of foreign trip
will be greatly lessened.-hdiatdpoiis

and the sand either blown or washed
away, and were it not tor few of the
remains of the large stumpS 10 one
would suppose that the spot was ever
anything else than naked ledge. On
other hills where there were no rocks
the sand is drifting like the snow, and
on some farms there are many acres of
this shifting sand that a warranty deed
will not hold and that is being conveyed
without any legal process. On hills
where the soil is between these extremes,
the process of exhaustion is more gradual,
but Just as sure. And now that the hig Ii
lands are exhausted and denudcd some
farmers are prevented from clearing up
their low lands by the fact that they are
all they can depend on for woodlots.
But the time is coming when the deep
black deposits of vegetable matter which
we call muck bogS, as well the inferno
date strips between them and the dry
lands, will be cleared and improved, and
other conditions of the farm will be made
to conform to the change. These border
lands between the high lands and the
swampS are in many cases of the least
value, because they are harder to sub
due. The growth upon them is largely
spruce, fir, and cypress and the soil
is white or rusty sand, with a few inches

A DARING ROBBERY.
Three Masked Men 90 Through an Express
Car.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, August 2l.--A
special from Griffin, Ga, says: An ex-
press car in charge of J. r. Byne was
held up by three masked men and
robbed Just east Of Collins station last
night. Conductor Reid says he stopped
at Collins to let of colored woman,
and when the train pulled out saw no
one get on, but his engineer saw three
men standind on the side of the road,
and they got in front of the express car
Just as the train left the station.
Byne, the messenger, says one of
them entered the car with his pistol
drawn, followed by the other two, who
ordered him to unlock bis safe, which
he did, at the point of three murderous-
looking pistols. The men were Of
medium size and wore as masks por-
tions of black hats. They $50 wore
large black aprons. Immediately after
going through the car they rang the
bell and when the train came to a
standstill ran off through field.
Conductor Reed, who was making
his way to the smoking car, where he
supposed a row was in progress, saw
one of the men running, and says he
expected the fugitive had cut some
one and was making his escape. 1t is
rumored that the amount stolen was
$50, 900, though the express officials only
acknowledge to about s., 500. 1t is be-
lieved that the passenger who got Oft
at Collins was confederate.

GORDON WOULDN'T FACE ThxM.
The Georgia Senator Runs Away from the
Alliance Cross-EII mination.
From the New York Sun.

ATLANTA, August Ex-senator Cor
don has lodged the Alliance Conven-
ton, and now becomes the central
figure Of their agitation, The resolu-
ton calling upon him to declare him
self upon the Ocala platform asked
that it should be done before the Con-
vention should adjourn. 1t was given
out early this morning that Senator
Gordon would electrify the Conven-
ton at its morning session. Instead
of that motion was introduced to re-
consider the resolution introduced yes
terdav asking him 10 give his views,
but after considerable discussion it
failed. The Convention was Of the
opinion that since Senator Gordon was
figuring as an opponent of Alliance
principles, he ought to put himself in
accord with them.
Final adjournment came without
the appearance Of Gen. Gordon. The
feeling among the members was strong,
and fourN expression in such eXclalna
tons as "Nhen he wanted our votes
we couldn't shake him Off" It was
ascertained during the evening that
Senator Gordon was at the Governors
residence, where a plan Of campaign
was being arranged. When the con-
ference was over, Senator Gordon gave
out for publication short letter to the
Alliance at large, saying that his posi-
ton on public matters had been fully
set forth in speeches, and he was sur
prised that any further statement
should be necessary. He intended to
address the people soon, and hoped to
prove to them that he was their friend.
The letter is extremely non-committal
on the very point upon wh;sh the State
Alliance wished to cross-queSen him.

COLUMBIA, August Ex-senator But
ler, arrived in the city to night from
Asheville on his way to EGgetield. He
regrets that he was unable to accept the
invitation to the meeting at Batesburg,
which, as has been published, has been
postponed until September 10. He said
that his engagement with the naval
committee prevented his attendance
on the originall date, but that be will
be present on September 10. He eX-
pressed himself as highly indignant at
the comments reported to have been
made by DR.. Stokes and others Of the
part be took at the Prosperity meeting.
He holds that if DR.. Stokes intended to
reply TO anything in his speech he
should have done 50 upon its close, Dr..
Stokes having half an hour reserved for
that purpose or more if he desired.
Senator Butler says that it is not true
that he evaded Col. Tabert's speech.
There could possibly have been no eva
sion, because it was expressly stipulated
between him ard Mr.. Hardy that Col.
Talbert was not to refer to Senator
Buffers speech. It was a fair presump-
ton, therefore, that Col. Talbert would
say nothing which would demand !
reply.
Senator Butler said that he had not
seen the Cotton Plant in which he was
criticised, and could only at this time
speak in general terms and only on the
unfairness of the mode Of DR.. Stokes
attack.
