President Harrison wears boot the
style of which he created himself. 1t
is a combination Of the Wellington
and that worn by the life-guardsmen
OF London. The genuine life-guard
boot reaches far above the knee, and
has an enormous flap for the protec-
ton of the soldiers legs from Il saber-
cut. The presidents boot does not
reach quite to the knee, but the flap
is on the order ofsthe life-guard's.
This gives the upper part of his leg
free motion, especially when he is in
Il sitting posture. M
Senator Calvin S: Brice wears boots
almost constantly. - He wears two
kinds, the Butcher and the Yelling
ton, and likes one as much as the
other.
The boot dealer says that when the
fashion is at its height he has no
doubt that it will be greatly eXagger-
ated by dudes who will wear long
patent-leather boots on the life-guard
style on the outside of their trousers.

man who held small Office under the
government on returning to his home
for dinner noticed that during his alb.
sence his wife had a pane of glass put
in broken window.
"Who put that new pane in?" he
asked in an anxious voice.
She responded that Mr.. Lauderbact,
the glazier across the street, had put
in the new pane. The official sank in
to a chair. He turned as pale as a
piece of old tripe, and tearing out his
hair by the roots he exclaimed, in an
agonized tone Of voice:
1--WE are ruined family. Don't you
know that the glazier Lauderbact is
suspected Of disloyalty to the govern
ment? He is a socialist in disguise. II
the emperor hears of it shall lose my
position" and once more the official
groaned in his spirit like an old horse
with the collie.
His wife, however, with the quick
intuition Of woman, was equal to the
emergency. Selling her husbands
cane she smashed three window panes
and then sent for the court glazier,
who was, Of course, loyal and in good
standing with the emperor, to have
the new panes put in. But for this
happy thought the loyalty Of the off.
cial would have been compromised,

Australian Hospitality.

Australian station hospitality keeps
the latch-string always out and says:
"Come when you wish, do what you
like and stay as long as you can" A
writer in Scribner says that the Aus
tralian host places himself, his family
and all that is his at the service of the
guest-fshing tackle, breach-loaders,
horses and servants. Such hospitality
is rarely abused, though the writer
mentions one exceptional case, where a
guest prolonged his visit until it wore
out his welcome. To one station came
a visitor, whose original intention Of
staying a month was reconsidered, and
he remained two. Six months passed,
and he was still there. He enjoyed
himself hugely with horses, dogs and
guns, developed an encouraging appe.
tite, and his host did not complain.
After about nine months the hosts
manner became less warm, and at the
end Of the year he spoke no more to his
guest. The latter was not sensitive,
but fingered on for the space of a second
year, when he departed and went to
visit somebody else. During these two
years he was never told that he had
stayed long enough and would do well
to 60 away.-Youth's Companion.

Cornells. The house occupied a high
position, commanding a view of the
country for many miles in every direc-
ton. 1t needed but a glance to see
what kind Of farmers the Cornells were,
for on every side thrift and enterprise
showed plainly. There were no dilapi-
dated fences, no hooks and corners
growing up with weeds, no evidences of
half-tilled fields; but, on the contrary,
everything appeared to be in perfect
order. It was so different from the
generality Of farms had passed in nv

And what will you say, o mountGin-brook,

STOCK ITEMS.

When calves are fed in the same lot
see that each one gets its share
Provide comfortable shelter for the
hogs and maintain animal heat with a
small amount of grain.
Where there is any considerable num-
Der of hogs it will always pay to grade
according to size and weight before
selling.
IL Is not common to find farm over
stocked With hogs Generally with
little care more could be kept to adj
vantage.
When a hog is sick, turn it out by
itself, supply it with plenty of water,
salt, ashes and grass or grain, and
leave it to its fate.
In feeding corn to fatten cattle it
will nearly always pay to shuck off care
fully, break into convenient pieces and
feed in tight troughs.
When cattle are obliged to go long
ways for water they are liable to go
without long time and then drink too
much for either health or comfort.
While not usually done, yet it is
easily possible to overstock with sheep
fully as readily as with any other kind
OF stock and is just as much of mis-.
take.
Where a considerable acreage of fall
wheat or rye is sown flock of sheep
can often be pastured all through the
winter, whenever the weathe- will PEI
init.
lndiscriminate breeding is one of the
causes of lessened profits with sheep as
it unquestionably lowers the quality.
Breed as well as feed the best should be
the rule.
Don't allow your stock to run down
in flesh before You begin feeding.
When the pastures are dry and bare
and the fields have all been CLEANED,
your live stock needs feeding, even if it
be only July or August.
At best, under present conditions,
the margin of profit in feeding cattle is
small, and every advantage should be
taken to increase them. Selecting a
good grade, giving them comfortable
shelter and care, so as TO maintain
good growth, are all important
With cattle, as with other stock, one
of the items necessary for profit is
steady growth from birth to maturity.
1t is, of course, an item to secure this
at as low cost as possible, and in win.
tering good shelter is necessary to
lessen the cost, for the reason that less
grain is needed.
One of the principal advantages ir
keeping cattle is that a better oppor
tunity is afforded of using up the rough.
ness. To do this to the best advantage
it is necessary to provide comfortable
shelter so that during growth, at least
very little grain will be needed where 3
variety Of crops is grown. A good sup
ply of rough feed may be readily Sc
cursd, and this can be fed to good
thrifty cattle.

Dampness in the coops is prevalent
cause of disease, especially among the

In the fall is a good time to clean the
trunks of the trees and in this way dis
lodge the vermin on them.

ling of apples will add to their keeping
value and market reputation.
Common barnyard fowls will be much
improved by using a thoroughbred
rooster of some of the best breeds
A box six inches high and two feet
square, kept filled with clean, dry dirt
makes good dust bath for the fowls.
A small allowance of bone meal in
the food will be beneficial to young
fowls that are afflicted with leg weak
ness.
The principal advantage in cooking
the food for poultry is that if the right
kind of ration is supplied the fowls
will fatten faster.
A grower claims to be able to make
more money growing grapes at two
cents per pound than in growing wheat
at dollar per bushel.
The fall or early winter is the best
time to apply manure in the garden,
and among the fruits the rain and melt
ing snow tends to bury the valuable
portions in the soil.
1t is claimed that grapes grown on
clayey soil are darker and more glossy
than those grown on gravelly soil, but
they are not as sweet or asrich as those
grown on gravelly loan.
Many people make pure ounce pre-
serves and small portion of these will
serve at a meal. But when pears or
even apples are put up with ounces the
whole will taste like ounce, and to
most people it is more palatable than
the pure ounce preserve. Sweetapples
are best for this purpose.
What would be thought Of a company
of farmers who would consent to pool
any other crop, hay for instance, as
they do milk? And yet the difference
in quality between poor, average, good
and best hay is no greater than may be
found in milk as delivered at any factory

PEARLS OF GREAT PRICE.
Mrs. Osborne Paying Dearly for the Har-
Grsaves Jewels.

LONDON, Feb. 5.-Mrs. Florence
Ethel Osborne, who was arrested at
Divers, yesterday, upon landing there
from the Calais steamer, charged in
connection with the famous Osborne
Hargreaves stolen pearl case, with OBJ
tanning the sum of $3.50 from Messrs.
sphinx & Sons, jewelers., of Bond street.
the amount alleged to have been paid
to her for the stolen iewelry, vas
brought up q prisoner this morning in
the Guild hall court. The lord mayor
Of London, the Hon. David Evans, pre-
sided. Mrs. Osborne, who was deadly
pale and in q fainting condition, was
escorted TO O seat at the solicitors
table.
At the opening of the court by the
lord mayor there was n long painful
delay and much whispering TO and by
the court. Apparently there was some
hitch in the proceedings Then it was
reported that the treasury officials had
decided not to prosecute on h
charges referred to above, but to
arraign her upon the more serious
charge of perjury. AS the time wore
on and nobody appeared for the
treasury, the lord mayor became inn
patient and finally sen a messenger,
bearing a warmly worded note, TO the
treasury department, asking the reason
for the neglect of the treasury
to send n representative TO pre-
sent the charge against Mrs.
Osborne and notifying the depart
ment that the prisoner would be dis
al lA-. thA ~aaary xuaa
promptly represented at the Guild hall
The result of the lord mayors message
to the treasury department was that
an official from that branch OF the gov
eminent appeared ut the Guild hall
and announced that the treasury did
not intend 10 offer any evidence
against Mrs. Osborne. The lord mayor,
so soon as he had recovered from the
state Of dumbfouudedness in which ne
had been plunged by the announce
ment of the treasury's determination,
discharged the prisoner, and she left
the court room amidst applause from
those who had gathered to witness her
discontinue.
The treasury's representative
twas questioned as to the
reason for the unexpected
step on the part of the government,
but the official mentioned, refused to
cnlighten his questioners as to- the
reason his department had for
refusing to press the false pre-
lenses charge against Mrs Osborne.
Later in the day it transpired that
Mrs Osborne was rearrested shortly
after leaving the Guild hall, placed in
q cab and driven to the Bow street
police court, where she was
formally charged with perjury. The
prisoner was crying bitterly when
placed in the dock of the famous police
court. After hearing the evidence
Mrs Osborne was formally remanded
for a week without bail.

DE aRAZzA's BIG SCHEME.
Psogress OF the French Plans of Annexa
tion In Central Africa.

tion In Central Africa.
PARIS, Feb. GA dispatch has been
received here from NJ. de Brazza, the
we'll known French explorer, who is
In command of the Chart and Lake
Tchad expedition in central Africa.
He says he finds ). the wiser plan not
to carry out his intention to punish the
hostile tribes which attacked Four
neau's expedition, sent last year to ex-
plorc the valley Of Sangha Bayen,
Central Soudan and the French Congo,
but that he should coniine himself to
establishing friendly relations with
h~ospitable chiefs, with the view TO
forming u chain of military posts from
the coast to Lake Tchad. Such a
course, he adds, would be a great aid
in the extension of French influence in
that part of Africa.

toned was attacked by natives in
May last. Sixteen of it's members were
killed and t~hirty-one, including Four
neau himself, were wounded All the
merchandise and many rifles were cap
tured by the natives and the expedi-
ton was compelled to retreat, being
followed for u long distance and con
stantly hurassed by the enemy. 1t is
claimed that the result of the expedi.
ton is of Importance as it has deter
mined the general direction of the
Sangha and its principal atfiuents and
has explored the valley of the river
up to 6 degrees 80 minutes latitude.
1t also demonstrated the fact that a
majority of the tribes are disposed to
be friendly, n few warlike chiefs only
interfering with the expedition. N
de Brazza's operations contemplate
the annexation to France of the i'm
mems stretch Of territory between
Senegal and Lake Tchad.

There were all sorts of rumors float

them were that Thayer would wait for

best of authority that Thayer had
wired Majors to come and take
possession, while seemingly well-au-
thenticated rumors pointed to an inn
mediate surrender to Boyd. One rumor
seemed TO be as strongly backed as the
others and 1t vas a simple matter of
pick and choose. Thayer could not be
found. He left his Office before noon
and has not been seen since and no in
formation could be obtained from his
clerks 1t was finally pretty truth
fully established hat he had gone to
Omaha to have another conference
with his attorney, John l.. Webster.
Tom Majors came in from Omaha on
the noon train to confer with Thayer,
but was unable TO find him,
and claimed to be as much in
the dark as TO his whereabouts
as everyone else. The truth of
the whole matter probably is that
Thayer realizes that he must immedi-
ately declare his intentions. There
can be no doubt but that at first he
was determined to hang on as long as
possible. but such influence has been
brought to bear upon him that he is
compelled to at least listen to it 1t

Webster he will try and come TO a de-
cision which will be announced either
