\ HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Mother and Child burned to Death.
Sickcning Sight

DENVER, COL, Dec. 3.-One of the
most horrible accidents Imaginable by
which mother and child wero burned
to death, happened at 2llS Delany
street last night, the victims being Mrs.
George Masten, and her infant son, Ed.
win T., aged one and 4 half years. The
victims are burned almost TO crisp
and their countenances SO badly Scared
and blackened MS to make recognition
impossible. When assistance arrived
they presented sickening sight. Tie
accident was caused by the little child
attempting to climb up to the table, and
in doing so caught hold OF the cloth, up
setting tho lamp which was on the
table. The lamp fell and broke,
the oil running down on the
chilli and catching fire, and in 4 mo-
ment it was mass OF flames. The
mother, who was in an adjoining room,
heard the crash as the lamp fell. See
ing the child in flames she grabbed it
in her arms and screaming dashed into
the street, threw herself and child into
large bank OF sand and began rolling
over and over to quench the flames,
with which they were entirely envel-
oped. Ncighbors were attracted by her
cries and at once ran to her assistance,
completely covering both mother and
child in blankets, thus quenchins the
flames, but not until both had been
burned beyond any possibility Of recov-

AMONG THE POULTRY.

PUSH the early-hatched chickens by
liberal feeding.
In many cases it will pay to raise
feed especially for your poultry.
DUCKS and geese can be plucked now
whenever the feathers are ripe.
A CHANGE of feed is desirable, as the
fowls tire of one kind if given too long.
THE brooder must always be kept SO
warm that the fowls will not crowd in
it.
A LITTLE fiaxseed meal will be found
valuable to add to the regular morning
feed.
IT is rarely the case that good
laying breed will be the best as a table
fowl
Coop pasturage is almost indispens-
able in raising ducks and geese profit
ably.
EVEN incubator chickens will be the
better for running out on warm, pleas
ant days.
UNDER no conditions should the
young fowls be fed along with the
older ones.
If the fowls refuse their feed, or do
not eat it up clean, let them miss a
meal or two.
ONE object in feeding is to get an in
crease in size as much as possible, but
at low cost.
CARE must always be taken not to
crowd the young poultry in too close
quarters at night.
PIP in young chickens can often be
cured by mixing a little black or
cayenne pepper in their food.
GUINEA fowls are not a good market
fowl by any means, but they lay a
large number of eggs and are good
table fowl
If the poultry must be kept confined
part of the run should be spaded up
daily for the hens to scratch Inst.

P. T. BARNUM, after making his will
in 1882, summoned several prominent
physicians to examine his mental con-
dition and to make affidavits to his san
ity, which they did. This was to guard
against any possible contest upon the
plea of incapacity.
P. Il. BARNUM's last marriage was
about as original as anything he ever
did. He saw the girl in the street-she
was a governess-and followed her
home. He then introduced himself to
the mistress and said he would like to
marry the girl. The mistress consulted
the girl, and the whole affair was ar
ranged inside of twenty-four hours.

The Price of Wisdom.

There is nothing stranger to youth
than the persistency with which age
proffers its experience; there is nothing
more trying to age than the determine
ton of youth not to accept it. The
fathers, mothers and guardians, who
have learned their hard lessons, would
be glad to impart their knowledge,
without its ruinous price, to those they
lsve. But the youngsters will have
none of it. No; they must buy their
own wisdom, ''dree their own weird, :"
pay the piper" themselves. Noyearn-
ing affection can shield them from the
trials and temptations they rush SO
gayly to meet But why should the
elders continually mourn that such is
the case? They have spent their lives
in learning hoH-to live. So did their
predecessors. Their children will do
the same. The law is universal.
knowledge comes only with age and
wisdom with the close of life. tt must
be that it was so intended. The blum
ders of youth, the struggles of maturity,
the regrets of age, are all part of the
inevitable training of each soul; train
ing necessary before it is prepared TO
enter on fuller life. -IiarpeT's BasaT,

FEEDING THE CALVES.
Take Them Away from the Cow as Soor
as Possible.

Rs Possible.
Whenever it is an item to make all
that is possible out of the milk it will
be best to feed the calves rather than
to allow them to suck the cows. The
principal advantage in this is that in a
short time some sweet skim milk can
be added to the sweet milk, and this
can gradually be increased and the
quantity of fresh milk decreased until
the return can be almost if not entirely
skim milk.
All things considered, the best plan
is to take the calf away from the cow
as soon as possible after it is thorough
ly dry. The advantage in this is that
all trouble in weaving is avoided. The
longer the calf is allowed to suck the
more trouble it is to wean. both with
the cow and the calf Milk the cow
clean and while the milk is warm give
it to the calf. A calf feeder can be
used, or, with little trouble, the calf
can be taught to drink and after the
first trial or two will give little if any
trouble. When the calf is ten days old
it will do to begin, using small guam
tity of skim milk, making sure always
that it is sweet and milk warm.
The cream can all be saved in this
way to churn into butter, and
the calf will make fully as good a
growth, while all the trouble
of weaving is avoided, as well as the
difficulty caused by sore or cracked
teats. The calves should have a warm
shelter when they come early, and
after the weather gets warm and dry
they should have a pasture to them
selves where they can eat grass. They
will learn to eat very soon. Some
let the calves suck a few days, and
then take them off and feed; but the
cow viii worry less, and, all things
considered, it is less trouble all around
to take the calf away without allow
ing it to suck at all, and, when it is an
item to get all the cream possible, this
is much the bestplan of managing

WORK IN THE GARDEN.
What Should BE Done i'm Spring to In
sure Good Results.

What Should BE Done i'm Spring to In
sure Good Results.
Spring is here and work plenty in the
garden. One advantage of the north is,
that for the winter months but little
green buds begin to push out and the
grass to grow, people are itching to be
doing something to help matters along.
Pretty nearly everybody who has plot
of land will make some kind of an
effort to clean up in springtime. The
first thing to do is to clean up all
leaves, rubbish, etc, and where this is
admissible, the better way is to bury it.
1t helps, on decaying, to furnish ma
terial for building up new plant growth.
Flower beds and places where anything
is to be planted require spading up, if
small spaces around the house, if large,
the pillow will do it more expeditiously,
and it should not be forgotten that a
coating of manure is beneficial to work
in the soil.
Anything in the way of shrubs, trees
or hardy border plants that are now
being more thought of than2formerly,
should be planted as soon as the ground

last moment it is often too late, as de-
ciduous trees and shrubs do not trans
plant favorably when the leaves have
burst out. Flower-beds that stand for
a long time in the same place and
year after year are expected to grow
about the same kinds of plants will, if
not heavily MANFRED, be found to fail
to furnish the display they did at
first. This is because some particular
part of the soil that is necessary to the
well being of the plant has been eX-
hausted. Some gardeners, where the
f1ower-beds are cut out of the grass or
lawn, make new arrangement, re-sod
over the old spots, and cut new ones
from fresh soil. Another way is to
add u portion of fresh new soil to the
bed, and cart away a corresponding
portion of the old. 1t is all on the prin-
ciple of rotation of crops, that the
farmer finds beneficial in keeping his
farm in what is called good heart

TO THE QUEENS TASTE.

THE queens daughters are not only
good needlewomen, but good cooks.
QUEEN VICTORIA has presented rich
ly caparisoned Indian elephant to the
emperor of Morocco.
THE queen of England firmly believes
that objects made by blind people bring
luck, and she has had the cradle for the
young princess of Battenberg entirely
made by blind men and women.
WIEN Queen Victoria dimes at the
palace, whether in public or private,
the name of every dish put on the table
bears name of the cook who is respon-
sible for it. This sounds as if her maj
esty was afraid of being poisoned, but
usage dates back to old times and is of
German origin.
QUEEN VICTORIA always takes her
own mattresses with her when she goes
travelling. These mattresses cost ninety
guineas each and the queen is as sensi-
tive about them as the princess of
crumbled rose-leaf fame. Not long ago
one of them was made about half an
inch thinner than usual, and her males
ty detected the difference at once and
had it altered
QUEEN VICToRIA's table linen is all
made by hand. Her tablecloths have
the star of the garter in the center, with
the royal arms. On the large rays of
the star are woven the names of the
greater dependencies of the crown, and
the lesser names are on the lesser rays.
A beautiful wreath of rose, shamrock
and thistle intertwined about the crown
imperial is woven in each of the corners.
