A Picture Every Year.

We read in the Sun that there is a
New Yorker, 40 years old, wEo has
forty pictures of himself, one of them
taken in each and every successive year
of his life. The first dozen Of them are
daguerreotypes, all the others are pho
tographs In the first picture he is
seen in his cradle, as he appeared soon
after birth In the second he is two
vear-old, and so on till he grows out of
babyhood into boyhood, and yet along
till he reaches maturity, and still on
ward to so, and further yet till the age
of 40 is attained AS an observer runs
his eve along the line of pictures he
notices the fact that but slight changes
appear from year to year, and also the
fact that very marked changes appear
at every period of ten years. The face
of the ten-yea--old is not the face of
the two-year-old, and the face of the
young man who is just up to his MAORI
ty differs notably from that of the ma
ture husband of 40. 1t is interesting to
study the physiognomical changes that
have taken place during his life, and, If
he should live to be twice his present
age and should have his photograph
taken every year till 1880, it will be
even more interesting than to sean the
long line of four score pictures. 1t is
not an uncommon thing now for parents
to have pictures taken of Their children
once vear-it makes very interest

Marriage on Wheels.
from the Kansas City Times.

James Cumming and Miss Sue How
ard adopted novel way of getting mar
ried at Independence yesterday. After
procuring a license from Deputy Re-
corder Packard the young people drove
in buggy to the First Baptist Church
on North Pleasant Street. Here the
Young man got out of the buggy, and
entering the study-room of the church
and showing the license, told the pas
tor, the Rev. Mr.. Maiden, to follow
him.
The minister did so and was some
what astonished when the young man
got up in his buggy and told the rever-
end gentleman to proceed with the GER
emony. Mr.. Maiden asked the young
lady if she understood what she was
doing, and on her replying that she
did, pronounced them man and wife.
At the conclusion of the usual pro
ceedings the minister was handed fee.
and the newly-married couple drove
away rapidly.
The young people gave their resi-
dence as Jackson County, but no one IN
independence had seen them before OF
knew anything of them. They offered
no explanation to Mr.. Maiden, and he
asked few questions.

An Old Time Indian Terror.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald
They were talking about the present
| Indian outbreak when one of the party
who had been for many years a resi-
dent of Arizona Territory, remarked
81 tell you, gentlemen, that this In
| dian business is liable to become serI-
Gus before long. Why on earth the
| government don't enlist $4,000 men and
| have those red men rounded up once
and for all is something | can't under
stand.
| 3Why, down in Arizona we lived for
| eighteen years in a state of terror on
| account OF marauding band of A paches
that had things pretty much their own
way all this time, In spite of ali that the
government troops could do to keep
them in check.
81 call to mind particularly Old Vic
torio. There was warrior Tor you. He
commanded d band of some 200 bucks
They were the Chiracahua ApacIes, and
the murders, robberies and depreda-
tons committed bv that band during
those ten years in which they we're on
the warpath are almost incredible.
"Old Victoria was nearly 80 years of
age when the troubles began. He ruled
those redskins with rod of iron in
spite Of his years. And he was par
alyzed, too, completely paralyzed. He
was only able to use bis lett arm lit
tie, just enough to lift cigarette to his
mouth.
"He was constantly in the saddle, and
had to be strapped OH like a bale of
goods. His band had the finest ponies
to be found anywhere. They would
sometime appear at one place and in
less than twenty-four hours you would
hear of them at some place 100 miles
distante. All throughout Southern
Arizona and Northern Mexico old Vic
torio continued his raids until the set
tiers finally gave up III despair. The
government troops appeared to be ut
terly powerless in the matter.
"Why, that band of redskins would
sometimes plumber wagon train right
under the noses OF the trooper and by
the time the latter were :noU ted and
ready to start in pursuit, they Ould be
out of sight. The next day, perhaps,
the wires would tell Of soIi.e fresh
depreciation committed by the same
band in a section Of the country over 100
miles away.
'This old war dog, however, was
finally rounded up and Shot. He died
in the saddle, fighting to the last, and
his band, what was left of it, dispersed.
OF course the settlers heard of it and
were delighted. Dismay followed, how
ever, when Cochise TOOK the field This
Indian ran things pretty much the same
way for five years, and then came old
Geronimo.
"The Indians of the Northwest are
much more numerous and better armed
You may take my word for it, gentle
men, we haven't seen the last of these
Indian troubles. We've hardly seen
the beginning of them. The govern
ment will wake up to this fact before
long, too

A Sure Cure for EnnuE.
From the HOspita /.

1t has been our prlv1le:,e within the
last few months to inspect an inereas
ing number Of hospitals, many of them
in the provinces Few occupations
could have given greater pleasure or
satisfaction than we have received from
these visits. How many man and
woman groans at the winter months es-
pecially, and wonders what to do to
pass the time in the afternoons Of many
days. How many there are who be-
come subscribers 10 our hospitals, who
give an order to their bankers Tor the
payment of the annual subscription,
and who then forget all about the mat
ter. We would suggest to such people
that they have not got full value for
their money. 1t is all very we'll to sub
scribe to a hospital, or to any other
charity, but to stop there is to show an
absence of appreciation little creditable
to the individual. 1t is an old saying
select the tune, SO those who sup
port our hospitals are bound, not
only in the interest and welfare
of the public and the patients. but in
their own interests, too, to become
familiar with their methods OF works
and to strive to possess some small por-
ton, at any rate, of the spirit which
undoubtedly animates the large MAORI
ty of those who constitute the official
staff of these institutions. We have
beenimpressed over and over again with
a feeling that hospital nowadays is a
cheerful place, where people are con-
tented and all are genuinely happy.
Even the sick feel that they are safe
when they find themselves in a hospital
bed; and as to the children, why, a
children's ward has proven a paradise
on earth to many a little sufferer and
waif, as all our hospitals can testify
We would say then, to every governor,
"Get full value for your money" and if
we were asked how we would say" By
making point of visiting the hospital
with some regularity and so learn les
sons in life, lessons in suffering, and,
what is even more important, learn to
appreciate the privilege of being able
to give, and moved to give, to the sup
port of institutions like these"

Advances in Gun Making.
From the Philadelphia Bulletin

From the Philadelphia Bulletin
How the science Of gunnery has been
improved during quarter of century
of peace When, during the civil war the
Swamp Angel" threw shells distance
Of five miles, into Charleston, it was
considered a wonderful feat, and there
were probably not a dozen guns in the
world that could have equaled it. Re
Gently, a new gun that was being
tried at Sandy Hook threw shells an
estimated distance of nearly fifteen
miles, and caused less surprise by the
achievement than its Charleston prede-
cessor did by sending them one-third
as far. Every great nation now has
guns that will carry from ten to twelve
miles, and those that will reach further
are not uncommon. This particular
piece of ordinance is much more note
worthy from another point of view
1t is, We believe, the first cast-steel
gun to stand a thorough test, and, there
fore, heralds new departure in gum
making

WINTER ON THE FARM.
Which Land is the Best?


When all of the battles are lost and won.
The last word spoken, the argument done.
Which, which is the best land under the sun?
AS gayly we're sailing this summer sea,
But as to the answer we disagree.
20, the very best land" says the German sis
And his heart beats quick, and his moist eyes
shine
AS he fondly sings, "Die Yacht am Rhein.'
But the Frenchman jeers at the Germans praise
" bile tribute to France you hear him raise
In the fervent strains of the "MsrSeillaiSe."
At the Frenchman's Boosting the scotchman
cries:
What land so bonny beneath the skies
AS the land where the great Sir Walter lies?"
Then a Muscovite voice is heard dec1are
Were my fellow creatures but wise and fair,
Theyd cote, to a man, on the Russian bear
The Irishman answers, with scornful smile:
"Go over the universe, mile by mile
And you IL find no land like the Emerald Isle. y
The Englishman comments, in accents bland:
Il m thinking there's only one civilized land,
And Britain S Its name, you must Understand"
The Yankee rising, with deep emotion,
Exclaims: I'm firmly set in the notion
My Eagles the gem of land or ocean"
80, after the battles are lost and won,
The last word spoken, the argument done.
Which, which is the best land under the sun
The question is pondered by you and me,
AS gayly we're sailing this summer sea,
And on second thinking, we all agreel
We are not divided. saving in name;
In essence each choice is really the same;
1t springs from common, inetfa BILE flame.
Whatever our race, VIII erever we roam,
The spot that is dearest TO each is home:
The toast drank deepest is home, Neet home!

Have IA Good Fire.

No intelligent woman would think OF
sitting down to sew with a needle de-
void of a point, or attempting to write
without pen or pencil, yet many a one
will ruin temper and food by attempt
ing to cook with a poor fire. Some
times, it is true, economy must be
closely studied, where the stove has
done duty for many years, and the way
is not clearly shown to obtain. new
one with modern improvements. But
many housewife will spend much care
and labor in the preparation of some
elaborate dish, and then spoil the whole
by attempting to cook it with an indif-
ferent fire Although more or less cooks
burn their food the greatest evil
seems to arise from too slow fire, so
that from the oven emerge soggy pie
crust, heavy cake and partially cooked
roasts. A well-beaten omelet is spoiled !,
because, the fire being low, the cook
does not wait for the frying pan to
become thoroughly heated, trusting to
'1uck" that it will come out all right"
The doughnuts ''soak fat" because the
fat had not been brought to the prop
er heat. Fifteen minutes are wasted
in stirring pudding, because it would
take the milk SO long to come to boil
that the impatient cook added the eggs
and corn starch before the milk boiled.
Many a woman spends all of Saturday
forenoon with her baking, which might
easily have been done in two hours, and
with better success, had she begun with
a good steady fire.-GOod Housekeeping.

Farm Work in Winter.

Wherever good sleighing prevails adj
vantage should be taken to get as much
team work done as possible. On the
road, and still more in drawing loads
over fields, q team will do more work,
and do it more easily, on the snow than
at any other time The amount Of load
ON level road makes little difference to
a good team. AS much as can be piled
on the sled is drawn as if it were light
load. In drawing out manure to field
the sled is more convenient for loading
as it is low down, and few tracks across
a snow-covered field makes as good a
roadway as can be desired. There is
still another advantage in doing as
much work as possible in winter. 1t
gives employment to the poor in the
neighborhood, and enables a farmer to
command a better supply Of help the
following summer.

Grape Vines as Ornaments.

A few lastly painted treIlises in the

Growing the vine SO as to cover a

two vines, one on each side, takes only
a few wears. 1t is true that as good
fruit may be grown on vines trained to
stakes or wires, but it is hardly as salts

Seeding Varieties of Fruit.

The dependence on nurseries rather
than on homegrown fruits diminishes
the chance for finding new and valuable
seeding varieties. Occasionally graft
or bud fails, and the natural sprout
taking its place is supposed to be the
improved variety until - gets into bear
ing, Unless these Instances are wrongly
reported, larger proportion of seeding
fruit has considerable more value than
is often thought, The proportion would
be still larger if seeds from only the best
of fruit grown in years favorable for it's
highest excellence were used for raising
nursery stock. The plan of many
nurserymen is, however, to get apple
seeds from the refuse of cider pomace,
in which only small and inferior fruit is
used for grinding. In this way they
claim to get more vigorous stocks, but it
is at the expense of fruit 1t is likely
also that these stocks when grated are
longer in coming into bearing than
stocks raised from cultivated fruit of the
highest quality would be-

it was passed back TO him with the
remark that it was mo good.
Hasn't the man got any funds

Yes, small balance. He has been
drawing other checks of this kind of
late" said the teller.
Well thoughtfully remarked the
man with the check, ''I'll see if
we can't stop it. What's his exact
balance pr
It was against the rules of the bank,
but the teller gave it. Then the check
holder stepped over to the receiving
teller;s window, and, pulling out a
roll of money, SAID he desired to deposit
50 to the credit of Mr.. Blank.
Now said he to the paying teller,
'spay this check" The latter did SO
and then closed Mr.. Blanks account

Mr.. Blank can be jailed" saying

Home Supply of Horse Radish.

Considering how easily and cheaply
it is grown, no farmer is excusable if
he does not provide bountiful home
grown supply of horse-radish, A few
roots, the trimmings from that sold in
market, planted in any rich, deep soil,
to the depth of ten or twelve inches,
are enough to start with. In a years
time these tiny roots will be swelled
into a large succulent root, extending
to the surface Of the ground, while be-
meath, and occasionally at the sides,
will be some small sprangles that
should be carefully saved for replant-
ing. Too large bed to dig entirely
over in one season is not advisable, as
after the first years growth the root be-
comes woody and stringy. But the
well-grown rse-radish always COM

as roots or grated and put up in bottles,
for which a ready sale can be depend
