What Did this Conference DoP
[FrOm the New YORK star.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.--Gossip is busy
with the visit of Colonel Dan Lamont, ,whC
returned to New York tonight, after what
to the uninitiated. would seem to be O
purely social visit to the Capital, where he
labored so faithfully for four years. The
Colonel was accompanied by Mrs. Lamont
and made a round of calls upon friends
among them Senator-elect Calvin s.
Brice.
The gossips make out that the genial
Colonel wanted to understand the exact
meaning of the gathering of presidents OF
Democratic clubs at the Brice residence
the other day, and the reason for the re.
ported exclusion from that meeting ol
Chauncey Black of Pennsylvania and
others supposed to be especially friendly
to eX.President Cleveland.

SUBJECTS OF GENERAL INTEREST TO
AMERICAN AGRICULTURIsTs.

Various Modes Resorted to for the Pre-
vention of sagging In Farm Gates
Methods Suggested for Securing Gate
Posts from Displacement.
A very common trouble with farm
gates is caused by continued pressure
exerted against the post by the weight
of the gate, producing sagging. The
gate then rests on the ground at its
latch end, and is dragged over the sur
face on opening and shutting. Under
this rough treatment they soon wear
out. II becomes important therefore to
secure the post from this displacement,
Various modes have been resorted TO.
Country Gentleman calls attention to
the following: Very large posts a foot
in diameter are used by some, and set
ting them four or five feet deep il
adopted by others.

half a foot or more beneath the hard
beaten surface is excluded from the air
and does not decay for many years.
An even more certain arrangement il
shown in the second figure, where two
pieces of timber are buried in snch n
position that the post cannot be moved
out of place without pushing those tim
bers lengthwise through the solid earth.
If the earth has been beaten around
them no force that can be brought to
bear can move them endwise through
the soil, and they will operate many
times more efficiently in holding the
posts from sagging to the right than fat
stones placed sidewise, large stones. or

reverses the lower court, and holds that
the second bond is void. Under this de-
oision the state will lose the Sl2 300.

What johnny waited For.

A story is told of a funny incident in a
suburban school. A new pupil came for
whom there was no desk. The bright eyed,
golden haired teacher told the boy ito sit
on the front seat for the present." He was
given some attention during the day, but
when school was dismissed still clung to
the seat. "Well, Johnny" said the teacher,
"are you not going homer" Eyes, ma'am," {"
the boy replied, but I'm waitin' for the
present. / want to take it home" The
teacher laughed, but attempted an explana-
tion, and Johnny walked sadly out, realiz-
ing that life is full of delusive hopes and
that "things are not what they seem."-

there are 700 homeless persons looking
at the burned acres. Half of them have
not recovered from the fright they were
thrown into over the fire. They are ut.

not which way to turn. They are mostly
fishermen and shopkeepers, and have been
formed by some of the level headed citi-
zens into great camps. There are hardly
twenty-five of them who were insured
and there is not one who has saved any
thing.
1t is believed that Mrs. James Miller
and her two children were burned while
the husband and father was away fight
ing the fire. Miller is frantically search
ing the streets for them today, and it is
possible they will turn up later.

went up in the hay loft to lie down.
He fell asleep and he swears that the
