them the loss of the wife of his youth.
THE LATE Mrs. MASsoN-In speak,
ing of the death of Mrs. Manson the
Lynchburg Adrance of yesterday says /:
"a feeling of genuine grief was felt in
this entire community this morning
when the death of Mrs. Henrietta f.
Manson, wife of Mr. ~ C. Manson, jr.,
became known. She passed away at
about ) o'clock this morning after a
short illness. Mrs Manson was the
daughter Of Major George Johnston, of
Alexandria, who served on Gen Lees
staff during the late war, as his grand
father had served on General Washing
tons during the revolution. Mrs. Man
son, as Miss Eta Johnston, was well
known in Lynchburg society prior to
her marriage to Mr.. Manson, as she
often visited here as the guest Of Capt.
C. NJ Blackboard, having been a friend
of his daughter. the late Mrs. Withers.
No young lady who ever visited the
city made more friends or made a deep
er mark upon society. She was bril-
liant in her conversational powers,
wonderfully attractive and engaging i'll
her manners and had musical talents
rarely equaled. Indeed, her singing
had placed her in the foremost rank of
amateur performers in the State. What
she was in Lynchburg society during
her visits here, she was all the time in
Alexandria, and as much as she will
be missed here. the mourning for
her in Alexandria will be as great.
One year ago she married Mr.. \. c.
Manson, jr.. so prominently known as
a lawyer and the former Mayor ofthat
city, and on the anniversary of her
wedding she was taken sick and died
after two days illness. during most of
which time she was unconscious. In
her relation as wife and head of 4
household, she had so fulfilled every
duty rs not only tomakc her home one
of the most attractive iii this city, but
to cntwine her around the heart OF
every person who came in contact with
her. whatever their social status, and
whatever might have been her relation
to them. The popularity she had so
fully won was not the result of arti
fetal manner. but was the tribute which
is ever accorded to those who speak
aud act from the impulses of Il warm
heart and of that human sympathy
which is ready to weep with those who
weep or to rejoice with those who
are glad. 1t is only necessary to men,
ton the fact of her death to awaken in
Lynchburg a sorrow that = tender and
sacred.

When horses or cattle are long con-
fined in stables or small yards, where
but little exercise is permitted, the hoofs
grow to such length that the poor brutes
become lame and crippled. In freedom,
nature keeps these parts of animals
raspcd down by exercise, indicating just
what should be done when excessive
overgrowth of hoofs occur. Vicious bulls
often become crippled by overgrown
claws from close confinement. In bind
ing animals to have the hoofs pared, too
much care cannot be taken in making
them doubly secure, for if once released
by struggling it will be difficult to firmly
secure them. To tho strong overpowcr-
ing hand of man all animals readily SUBJ
nit, but to the vacillating seldom.
Many unsafe and vicious animals are the
result of lack of firm but kind manage

souAsnYINE RoREn.

Many thousands of farmers and
gardeners have been seeking for years
to find something that will effectually
prevent the attacks of the squashvinc
borer,a without finding it. The line
of search has always becn-and very
properly too--in the direction OF
prcventives, for it is very difficult to
discover the borcrs until the vines wilt,
this indicating their presence, but the
warning comes too late to save the vines.
AS the little moths look 80 much like
transpaIcnt-winged wasps that few per-
sons except cntomologists would rccog-
nize them, even if ever so abundant;
consequently, practical remedies must
take the form of some offensive SUBJ
stance that will repel the moths and
prevent the females depositing their eggs
on the vines. The best thing we have
found for this is coal tar, either mixed
with plaster OF ashes and worked over
until the mixture is brittle enough to be
freely scattered about the hill and close
to the stem of the young vines. The
application must be made early in the
season or rs soon as the vines have made
q growth of one or two feet, aud then
renewed often enough to preserve the
fumes of the tar about the hill. Other
offensive odors may rcpcl or drive away
the moths as well as those oil tar, but we
have not found any quite us olfectual-

His Habits Betrayed Him.

A theft has just been brought home
to u man by means of an egg. Some
days ago, NJ. Douet, pottery manufac-
turer, living in the Rue Goudou, Paris,
was disagreeably surprised on returning
from the theatre with his family to find
that his house had been ransacked,
almost all the furniture destroyed, and
o sum of $1,000 in gold and notes stolen.
The next morning he put NJ. Siadoux,
Commissary of Police, in possession of
these facts, who thereupon proceeded to
tho spot and opened au inquiry. In the
course of his search he found n broken
egg. from which the white only appeared
to have been sucked. He brought the
circumstance to the notice of NJ. Douct,
who then remembered thata carter named
Dclbars, who he had dismissed for dirty
habits, was accustomed to eat eggs in
this way. They arrested him along
with his brother. When questioned as
to how and where they had spent their
time on the night of the robbery, they
were embarrassed, aud finally confessed
that they had broken into NJ. Douet's
house for motives of revenge. = Galiy,

DIsciplining n Tribe.

The Sultan of Morocco has been
emptying the walls of his wrath upon tho
Benz Mir tribe, who had declined to
pay tribute. After punlshing them Sc.
verely in a sharp battle, about one hun
dred of their women came into camp to
ask the Sultan's pardon and humble
themselves before him. For hours they
sat before his tent, weeping and crying
for mercy, their faces unveiled in token
of deep contrition. They asked the Sui
tan to have mercy on their husbands,
their brothers and their children. The
next day they continued their piteous
wailing, and in the evening the Sultan
babe them return to their homes and send
their husbands into camp. He comforted
them with the assurance that if their tribe
obeyed him and refrained from highway
robbery he would not attack them again.

ENsIr.AGE FOR HORSES.

There is so much conflicting testimony
on this point, that it is high time some
of tho experiment stations should take
the matter in hand, either to determine
by experiment what its effect will be, or
to accumulate all the evidence TINT is to
be obtained. For our part we can not
see how it Is possible for cnsilage, prop
erly made, to injure horses. We can sec
how green corn ensilage sour aud imma-
ture may create gas in the horses bowels,
and tl,,s give him that collie that he is
always subject to under the slightest

a MATTER OF MUD.

After Il heavy rain when carriage roads
are covered with two or three inches
(more or less) of partly liquid mud, n
buggy may be driven for miles with such
care as to receive very little of it except
what adheres to the rims OF the wheels.
Or mud pool extending the whole
breath of the road may have to De passed
and would spoil the now varnish of the
vehicle unless the driver has learned by
trial how fast he must drive for the
occasion. We have seen careful driving
over q certain road with scarcely any de-
Placement. and again needless driving
over the same line with formidable
damage. If the horse is driven on
walk or about three miles an hour the
mud will adhere to the rim of the wheels
andlbe carried up by them as they rcvolye.
Its weight will cause it to drop on the
spokes and hub, and these in short
time will be covered with it in one adj

on a slow or moderate trot, four and

mud which is carried up on the rim of
the wheels will not drop, for the increased
circular motion now given to them will

mud to the wheel. The rim is the only
part that will be muddy. The spokes and

Making Harms.

This silver-throated instrument, for
many centuries the royal one, aud which
has come down to us practically In the
same shape which the ancient Goths had
given to Their harps as their warriors
swept down upon the domains of the
Roman eagle, has of late again become
the fashion, and the demand for it is in-
creasing day by day. AS to its sonor-
business there is no doubt, but there are
two difficulties in the way OF its popular
success, viz. The great expense and the
difficulty of playing it. A fine harp
made from an artistic drawing and with
pretty carvings, having six octaves of
compass and pedals as we'll, will cost
from $500 to $1000-hence is as expen-
sive as piano. But then it is really a
work of art. The column handsomely
carved and gilt, bent so that the strings
all drawing the same way-will not
make it deviate, is alone job. The
great difficulty, though, in the correct
building of II harp is the connection OF
the pedals with the respective strings 10

tone. The neck of the harp, too, is re.
quired to DO of extraordinary strength.
Hence it is made up of ten layers oil
wood, each of different grain aud all
glued together. Some harps have been
made here in Chicago during the last
few years which are considered the
acme of perfection aud elegance by
competent judges. = Chicago Herald.

rouLrny HOUSE cLEANINo.

Before going into tho winter quarters
tho chickens should all be turned out of
the poultry house and a thorough clean
ing and renovating of the place should
be attempted 1t is In tho winter time
that eggs bring thoir high prices, aud
tho fowls that can be induced to lay
heavily then will be moro than profitable.
They can only do this, however, where
clean, sanitary poultry houses are fitted
mp for their comfort. Fall cleininr of
tho house is moro essential han tho
spring, for tho filth and dirt that arc
left in the house in tho winter must be
shut up in tight places go that it will
tend to breed disease. Worms, mao pots
and lice will thrive in this filth, which
is kept warmer than tho outside air.
They will soon swarm about tho interior
in great numbers, aud naturally worry
the life out OF tho chickens. In add.
ton to this, tho chickens will havo to
breathe the foul air that cmanatcs from
tho gases of tho filth. This alono is
sufficient to cause sickness aud death.
A thorough renovation of tho house,
outside and inside, should be made.
Everything should be taken out, and tho
roof, ceiling, sides and floor should be
swept and then washed aud scrubbed.
There is nothing like thorough scrubbing
with soap and water to mako tho boards
clean aud hoalthful. Thon let the place
be aired for day, and, meanwhile, wash
and scrub tho iced boxes, the nest boxes,
the roosting sticks and everything TINT
was taken out. After this 60 into the
house again and whitowash all of tho
wood work. Do not DO afraid of tho
whitewash, but throw it on thickly, cs-
pccially in tho cracks and holes where
lice nud insects may be lodging. In fact
all of tho woodwork is thus washed OK
cept tho roosting-poes, which are
scrubbed with boiling water aud then
treated with kerosene oil. These should
be drcnched with oil nfterward about
once month, and then no disease can
very we'll nttack tho chickens. Tho red
mites are often very troublesome in the
winter, but this treatment will keep them
away. The house outside should DO in.
spected carefully, and every crack through
which snow or wind could como in must
be stopped up. Have no wind draughts
blowing on the chickens, but have good
ventilation. If such housekeeping is
given every fall ono may depend upon it
that he will have moro eggs and healthier
fowls in the wintcr.-Indiana Fdrmer.

nea.en only by a,e,nu.s,ah.

Henry Jenkins, of Bolton, Lanca-
shire, Highland, lived to be 100 years
old. Mrs. Anna Savlllc, writer Of
Jenkins time, has the following in
hor account of him: II questioned
him about his age. He said he was
l62 or l63. asked him what public
event he could longest remember.
lilo said tho battle of Flodden Field,
when Henry VIII. was King. Ha
said he was then between 10 and IL
years of age, and was sent to North
nllerton with horse-load of arrows,
but that bigger boy was sent to tho
army with him." All this agrees with
the history OF that time, bows and
arrows being then In use. The battle
OF floddcn Field was fought Sept. 0,
1913, and Henry jenkins was then q
boy between 10 and IL years OF age,
died Dec. 0, 1869, so that ho must
have lived at least 100 years, sixteen
year longer than old Parr, who was
born In Shropshire in 1883, and died
In 1885. If this account Of the age
of Jenkins is reliable, he lived longer
than any other man in the known
world, except Mcthuselah, concerning
whose age there has been much dis
quito.

A Soldier Who Never Made an Enemy.

Won Moltkc's grave face, says Lord
Wolselcy in the United Seroice Magazine,
was curious study. There was not u
hair upon it and its wrinkles seemed,
indeed, too deep and close together to
admit of beard or whisker growing
there. A self contained man, with n
heart full of sentiment and of chivalry!
Deeply imbued with religious feeling
and childlike faith in his Maker, he be-
levcd that God daily interposed in the
affairs of those who prayed for help.
Neat in his dress and proud of the uni
form he was privileged to wear, he yet
hated the feathers and even the small
amount OF gaudy glitter which relieves
the plainness of the simple and mex
pensive Prussian full dress. He is said
never to have made personal enemy.
If this be true it is indeed most extraor-
binary, considering the number of fools
and small minded men in and out of
office whom a Genera! in his position
has to deal with.

LEAVES IN FORESTS.
