Wearers of the flannel shirt have
long been aware with what beautiful
versatility il will be warm in cool
weather and cool in warm weather.
A philosopher says the reason really
is that flannel is poor conductor,
and hence when the body is covered
with il. variations in atmospheric
temperature are less fast. \ good IL
lustration of this can be found IN
desert and parched countries, partie-
ularly Africa, where il is often neces'
sary for the white man to wear heavy
wooden clothing TO protect his body
from the sun and heat. The heat
and annoyance from persplration
, nre terrible under such conditions
but they are preferable to the agony
caused 10y wearing light clothing

Who would have suspected Senator
Sherman of harboring a Lincoln
story? No one, surely. Yet the dis
tingulshed OhiOan tells a good one,
if the Chicago Mail quotes him Alright.

lv after his election to the presidency.

political party that had won n great
national victory at the polls Presi-
dent Lincoln was the most prominent
figure in America, and | will confess
that had considerable curiosity to
see just how the great man looked.

would invest him with an air of sol

TWO STORIES WHICH RECALL SHERMAN 'S
FAMOUS EXCLAMATION AT ATLANTA.
| From an interview with Chauncey NJ Depew.
:" He told me an interesting story
about a prominent citizen of Savan-
nah who came to his headquarters
after he had captured that city. The
gentleman was in great trepidation
and informed the general that hehad
some valuable pictures in his house.
The general said they were entirely
safe. He said he also had a colec-
ton of family plate of great intrinsic
value, and, on account of it's associa-
| tiOns, very precious to himself and
his family. The general told him he
would put a guard about his house
if necessary. Then, in a burst of
frank confidence, produced by this
generous response to his fears, he re-
vealed to General Sherman that he
had buried in his back yard a large
quantity of priceless Madeira, of the
Oldest and rarest vintages, and es-
timated to be worth over $4,000

. | heard General Sherman once
narrate a very striking battle incl
dent. He had rallied his troops and
led them to a charge which was
everywhere successful. As he rode in
to the enemy's camp he saw soldier
lying on a barrow and an officer over
him with an uplifted knife. He
shouted to the officer not to strike,
and spurred up to the group to dis
cover that the men were both dead
the only solution being that the of
ficer, who was a surgeon, was in the
act of performing an operation for

How to Mount a Horse.

Any woman who lives in the coun-
try, and who is not too stout, should
be able to mount a horse from the
ground unaided, writes Carl A. Nye-
gaard in the Ladies Home Journal.
If she attains to be anything of an
equestrienne she should require no
more assistance than a man, though
she is handicapped Il little by reason
of her skirt. She should lower the
stirrup sufficiently to reach it with
the left foot, then placing the right
hand on the upper pommel and the
left hand on the lower pOmmel, by a
sideway motion, right shoulder for
ward, spring lightly from her right
foot and swing herself into the sad
die. Once there, she should take heI
foot out of the stirrup, place hel
right thigh in its proper position
above the pommel, and adjust hel
dress. The stirrup is shortened from
the right side by pulling up the straE
again.

The Value of Roots for Feeding.
Carrots are better adapted for
horses, producing sleek coat, healthy
appearance and good appetite. A
horse getting mess of them
every night seldom requires med
icine. Sheep having a fair
share of turnips or mangels
through winter and spring seldom
lose their wool before shearing: The
ewes have stronger lambs and bet
ter flow of milk, that brings them on
faster and earlier for the market, and
the whole flock go upon the
grass in good condition Milk
COWS give a larger flow of milk and
richer in quality, which means more
butter and better calves. The old
COWS can he made into excellent beet.
The young cattle can be brought into
value much sooner and with more
profit. The manure pile will be much
larger and of better quality. One
man in Ontario few years
ago issued 10000 bushels OF tur-
nips. A neighbor said to him:
"Mr. F., you had better sell 1000
bushels; they will bring you $1,000"
NO" he says, II want them all fed
on the farm, to GO into manure" And
he fed all of them. Farms on which
roots are raised and fed are getting
more productive every year. The
dairymen say they would dis
pose of their cows if they
could not have the roots for them.
Those that feed cattle for export say
they could not do it with profit
without them. One man says: II could
not educate my children as do IL 1t
were not for the roots" And num-
bers of others tells us they have lifted
that they could not have
done otherwise. In conclusion. let
me say that the root crop puts millions
of dollars into the pockets of the farm
ers of Ontario every year. And the
individual benefit cannot be estis
mated.

The Queer Streak in Kings.

The Queer Streak in Kings,
Boston Transcript.
The Kaiser has to all appearances q
sound mind in body which he keeps
by care and exercise sound. The
stories about his odd actions thai
come from Paris may be dismissed as
the inventions of the journalistic fancy
In the season when news is dull. The
queer streak in the HohenZollerns
has not, so far as the world knows
shown itself in the last two genera
lions. 1t was conspicuous in the third
generation back. The Kaiser's great
uncle, the Emperor William I. g
brother, acted queer long before his
sickness became what official language
called alarming. For the last four
years of his life he was practically
out Of the King business, the old EN-
peror William, then Prince of Prussia
acting as regent of the kingdom.
Frederick William w. had at various
the queer streak In odd performances
in insisting that tragedies should be
changed into comedies for presenta-
ton before him in order to make
things more cheerful, Once he is
said to have immersed his kingly
visage in plate of soup, subsequent
ly grinning decornm to the winds
through stringy mack Of vermicelli.
One of his predecessors In the last
century was sunk IN melancholy sloth-
fulness quite in marked contrast with
the MAD eccentricity of Frederick the
Greats father, who lavlshed treasures
on giant regiments and almost strang-
led the future conquerer in burst OF
mad rage. If the Hohenzollerns
think OF the fate that darkens their
glory, they have such consolation at
hand as is afforded by the reflection
that there are few royal houses that
are exempt from the threatening ter
Tor. The Bavarisn royal family is a
mad race, and Bavaria's king is as
mad as his suicide predecessor. The
Fiction that he rules is the maddest
thing of all, Prince Luitpold, the real
monarch reigning as regent. The
two Princes next in succession to the
Austrian throne are to put it mildly,
eccentric. One of them emptied q
plate ofspinnach over the Empereor's
Dust in mess room in retaliation for
reproof of singular act of insubor-
dination. The other stopped fune-
raj to jump mis- horse over the bier.
The little King of Spain is heir to a
royal madness that has appeared in
severed members of the liue. black
drop that comes both in the Austrian
and the Bourbon blood that flows in
their veins. English royalty has had
it's illustrou madMen, and the Czars
have, severed of them, walked in the
shadow of madness. People have
said that the late Alexander III. was
queer, and one of his uncles was sad
and the other mad. TITS bad world
my masters, and the masters of 1t are
often the maddest,
