Tom" Murphy's Friends.

Away back 10 the '40s there was a large whole
sale hat concern located on Vesey street. New
YORK, says the Baltimore Netos They had an
Irish porter who was both smart and ambitious.
In those days the buyers used to come to New
as they do now This porter went TO his en-
blowers and asked the % to allow him to take a
case OF samples and call on the buyers at the
uptown hotels and see if he could not demon
strate that he was fit for something better tina n
sweeping out" They allowed him to try. He
made a successful salesman. Finally one of
the firm died and the young Irishman asked TO
be admitted to the firm.
He was taken in. 1t happened that this hat
house had-as all jobbing houses had in those
days-a western attorney who looked after
ham Lincoln of Springfield, Ill. In 1880 he was
elected President Of the United States. On his
way to Washington he was the guest for day
or SO in New York of his client-the Irish
porter salesman partner in the hat business
Result: President Lincoln took great fancy
TO his Celtic client. and aske1 him to go on TO
Washington and see him inRugurated and to
accepted, and he and Mr.. Lincoln became fast
friends.
When caps were wanted for the troops
Thomas Murphy's firm had the contract. Some
years afterward it happened that Mr.. Murphy s
house had an attorney in New York city. and
his name was Chest A. Arthur. Collector
Thomas Murphy-the same ''Tom"-when
asked to resign the office of collector Of the
port of New York. was allowed to nominate his
successor, and he named his friend G. A. Ar
thur. The n it happened that the same "Chet"
Arthur became President of the Unit States.
That is briefly the reason Thomas Murphy was
always so much at home at the whits house.

Killed by q Skyrocket.

An impromptu celebration that was
held in honor of the arrival of a delega-
ton of Turner's from Freeport, Ills., was
suddenly brought to a close by the al
most instant killing of man. A sky
rocket, supposed to have been set off by
a crowd of young boys, penetrated his
forehead, and part of the stick was
broken off and left imbedded in his
brain.
AS the procession reached the corner
of Blue Island avenue and Polk street
Philip Knopp, who had been watching
the parade from the sidewalk, was struck
by q skyrocket. The mans head and
face were covered with blood, and
Officer Halle, calling assistance, carried
him into a neighboring drugstore. DR..
Lahey was summoned, and Knopp was
sent at once to the county hospital. On
the way DIR. Lahey extracted part of the
stick, eight inches in length and three
eighths of an inch square. 1t had en-
tered just above the right eye, and had
gone through the brain until the end
was blunted against the back of the
skull. Knopp lived only a few moments.

CAB5AGES AS A FARM CROP.

The Cultivation of Intern ediate and Late
Varieties for Use in Winter.
Late cabbages are much more farm
than market garden crop, and as q
farm crop are often quite profitable. A
possible surplus as well as the waste
and all the unmarketable part of the
crop can generally be put to good use
in the cattle yard. The plants from
seed sown during the early season in a
seed bed are transplanted in June and
July.
Greiner, in his book How to Make
the Garden Pay" advises transplanting
in well prepared and literally manHred
soil during June, making rows three feet
apart and plants from ~ to 3feet apart
in the row, according to the vigor of
the variety and strength of the ground.
Or. SOW thinly during June in drills
three feet apart and afterwards thin to
the proper distance. In either case
thorough cultivation and frequent hoe
ing are conditions of best success. The
authority quoted says:
The intermediate varieties, sttch as
Winningstadt, Fottlers, ETC., viii often
give good heads in winter, at least in a
moist season, even if sown as late as

July. A handful of good fertilizer, bone
dust, potash, etc., according to the needs
of the soil, or a somewhat larger guam
tity of wood ashes or composted hen
manure scattered around the plant after
it has become well established after
transplanting, as also slight dressing Of
nitrate OF soda, is always great help.
All of our hard heading cabbages,
when they are approaching maturity
and are not soon gathered, are liable to
BURST open or crack. Heads showing
this disposition may be pushed or pulled
over to one side. This loosens part of
their roots and appears to counteraet
the tendency. Cabbages should not fol-
low cabbages on the same land, or club
root will be liable to develop.
AS to varieties, the Winn;ngstadt, an
intermediate kind and here depicted, is
one of the best in cultivation for general
use. Greiner says as sure header early
Winningstadt has no peer, and in spite
of its earliness it forms large cone
shaped heads, which are of good quality.
1t is the homegrowers and novice's sort,
and can be planted for early, iHterme-
diate and late by planting at different
times, sometimes as late as July, even at
the north. Among late varieties are the
Flat Dutch, Surehead, Mammoth Red
Rock, Stone Mason, Drumhead, Savoy
and Marblehead Mammoth. The last
named makes very large heads and is
especially recommended for warmer lati-
tudes. Red Dutch is one of the best late
picking cabbages and Fielder Kraut is a
German variety desirable for making

Corn for Ensi1age.

It is plain that if one wants high
duality of fodder or grows corn for ensi-
lage he must grow the fodder or ensilage
crop by itself and keep it separate and
distinct from the crop grown for grain.
It is either doing this or calmly and de-
iberately choosing to sustain loss of
some 40 per cent. of corn by harvesting
while it is still green.
The question then comes up how to
plant and handle the ensilage crop in
order to raise the maximum weight on
a given area. In trial tests made at the
Kansas station the heaviest yields were
obtained on the plats having the rows
to 31a feet apart. These plats pro-
duced heavier weight Of ears and
leaves in proportion to the stalks than the
naryew rows did. The closer together
the plants stand in the row the greater
the proportion of stalks to ears and
leaves as rule. This feature is really
an important point, because the stalk is
practically all wasted when corn fodder
is fed, as every feeder knows from ex-
perience, and even in the form of ensil-
age the cattle pick out the bits of leaves
and ears, and refuse the greater part of
the stalk. It is, therefore, of import
ance to have the highest possible per
cent. of leaves and ears in each ton and

A Queer Story of Two Apple Trees.

About sixty-four years ago Thomas
Carr, living near Medora, in jackson
county, set out an apple orchard on his
farm, about one-haf mile southwest Of
Middleville, and having two apple trees
left he gave them to his sons, John F..
and G. W. The boys set these trees out
along the fence, near the orchard, and
they both grew well. John was the
first to die, and on the day he died his
tree fell. G.. W. lived to be an old
man, became known as a colonel, was
chairman of the convention that framed
the present constitution of Indiana and
died only few days ago at Crawfords-
vile. It is a coincidence that his tree
also fell on the same day he died.-Cor.

Cowboy Sailors Not just the Thing.

Captain Hanson, of the new schooner
Spray, on Ler maiden voyage from the
Suislaw river, in Oregon, had a lively
experience with cowboy sailors. With
six of this new variety the captain put
to sea. Hardly had he got outside when
a strong southeast gale came up. The
schooner rolled fearfully and the cow
boys became terribly sick and lay in a
heap in the forecastle perfectly helpless
The captain and his mate succeeded in
lowering the foresail, and with the main
sail and jibs set the schooner was driven
before the gale at a terrific rate. Sev-
eral seas were shipped and one of the
cowboys was washed against the lumber
ON deck, breaking his leg. When the
weather moderated the captain put into
Port Townsend, where the injured cow
boy sailor was sent to the Marine hos
pital. Two sailors were engaged and
the schooner made the trip DOWN in
twelve days. The five cowboy sailors
nave decided not to go to sea any more.

Big Bills for Witnesses

DR.. q. De F. Smith has filed a claim
against the city for $500 for services as
an expert witness for the people in the
trial of Carlyle w. Harris, the medical
student, for the murder of his wife,
Helen Wilson Potts Harris.
Professor Witthaus, the chemical ex-
pert who made the analysis Of the con-
tents of the dead woman's stomach, has
filed with the district attorney bill of
$5 900 for that service.
DR.. Allan McLane Hamilton, another
expert witness in the case, has collected
a bill of 81 500 for his services, and
other bills from expert witnesses have
been filed which bring the total cost of
the expert testimony for the people up
to $4,000.
The bills of the medical experts who
testified in the trial of E. M. Field ag-
gregate $4,000, and none of them has
yet been paid.-New York Evening Sun.

Beating his Way Around the World.
An American from Boston h c roo clod

TGdCuoO
Paris on a voyage around the world,
personally conducted" by himself under
entirely novel circumstances. His
avowed object is to complete the whole
trip without the expenditure of any
money whatever, and, according to his
own statement, he has already crossed
the ocean and visited England and Ger
many in accordance with the conditions
of his self imposed task, which also con-
tains the stipulation that he must do no
work on the voyage. Needless to say
that our travellers rather unusual
methods do not meet with the approval
Of all the hotel keepers whom he honors
with his custom, and in Berlin he under
went one months imprisonment for fail
ing to pay his bill.
The only wonder is that this unusual
kind of traveller does not spend most of
his time in Jail, but, needless to say, he
is gifted with an unlimited supply of
what may be best described as "self
confidence" and is a past master in the
peculiarly American art of ''blufing."
AS he himself puts it, eff can only
make a man laugh I've got him!' and
certainly there is sublime assurance
about his system which must force a
smile even from his victims. Our cir
cnmnavigator has, of course, not set
himself any particular route for his
voyage, as he is dependent on ''free
passes," and has to be content with what
he can get in that direction. Thus, to
reach Paris from Berlin-as the railway
companies declined to oblige him-Mr.
Cook travelled via Bremen and London.
He is now hoping to reach the Riviera,
but what his itinerary will be is a matter
of conjecture even to himself.-Paris
