Morgan's headquarters in this way: A

house and make for the woods. He
was ordered to stop or he would be in

and on finding himself in the midst of
Federal soldiers declared that he was

OF course it was not safe to trust this
story, therefore he was placed on horse
back behind one of the men and ques-
toned as the line proceeded. The in
formation obtained from him was that
he was in Greeneville about sunset and
that Morgan had his headquarters at
Mrs. Williams's brick house. Further
on cabin was reached. The occupant,
negro woman, told that she came
from Greeneville about dark, and Gen.
Morgan wasstopping at Mrs. Williams.
This confirmed the former witness. The
approaches to Greeneville were now

An Ice Locomotive.

At Fishkill (N. " Llnd.ng on a
freight car is a so-called Ice loco motive.
1t was built by New York inspector a;
an experiment for navigating the Hudson
on the ice. 1t is about six feet long,
with cab attached. The boiler head,
inside the cab, is supplied with throttle
valve, steam gauge, reverse lever aud
steam cocks exactly like locomotive.
Under the centre OF the boiler, connected
with the steam chest by side rods arc
two small cogwheels, twelve or fifteen
inches in diameter. Under each end Of
the machine are two steel runners ach
foot long and fashioned like circuit
runners. The co5s are expected to dig
into the ice aud thus move the machine
along over tue ice on the runner; at a
rate of speed not yet eitimitel by the
inventor. The cab is not large enough
for a person to get inside, but the ma
chine will probably draw, or is intended
to draw, a small platform car behind on
runners and from this car the throttle in-
side the cab and the reverve lever can be
handled. The whole machine weighs
1000 pounds.
Some years ago Mr.. Do III, OF Do Ids
Express, built a machine at FishSill
Landing for travel over the ice. All MI
chinery attachel to it WAS OF ponder
Gus character, so that Wlel the steam
iceboat was completed it weighed dive or
six tons. 1t was placed on the icl at
Fishkill Landing to test its spell. Tne
steam was let on, but the big CO 8, wlici
were to force the boat aloa3 over the ice,
instead of doing so, dug dogI into the
ice aud almost cut the mas OF iron and
wood through, and NJ. Doll cine near

No More ARTIFICIAL Teeth.

Old age is robbed Of half its terrors
and much OF its deformity by the
brilliant discovery of a Moscow den.
tist, DR.. Zuamensky, who according
to a possibly over-sanguine Russian
contemporary, has delighted The civ
ilized world by his skill in making
teeth to grow in t0othless gums.
After experimenting on dogs he tried
the effects of his method in human
beings, and the success was complete.
The teeth are made of gutta-percha,
porcelain, or metal, as may be desired.
The roof of the false tooth has some
holes bored in it. Holes are now
bored into the jaw, and into the hole
the false tooth is stuck as is nail in
wood. In a short time tender
growth starts up the cavity OF the
false tooth, and this growth harden
ing the tooth becomes fixed in posi-
tion. These new teeth can, accord
ing to the inventor, be placed in the
alyeolus OF a natural tooth, and thus
when a diseased tooth is pulled out
metal or porcelain substitute can be
inserted in its place without mourning
any risk of transferring disease, as
happened in Hunters days, when the
apparently sound teeth Of poor per-
sons when transplanted not infre-
quently conveyed disease. There are
several minor inconsistencies in this
statement, but it would be ungraci-
GUS to look such noble gift in the
mouth, especially as according to den-
fists of good authority our race is
destined eventually to become eden
tulous. Medical Press.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

The principal needs in melon culture
are rich, light soil and pure seeds.
Be careful in handling young fruit
trees to see that the roots are not exposed
to either sun or wind.
The Frederick Clap, OF comparatively
recent introduction, is promising pear
that ripens in October.
1t will be great saving OF labor to
spread manure as it is hauled on the
land where 1t is to be used. There will
be no loss in quantity or quality OF the
manure.
Many towns are now paying more
money for poor roads than good ones
cost, simply because they don't under
stand how to build right and don't real
ize what a tax poor roads are.
Mr. Powell says that stable manure,
supple rented with wood ashes or some
fertilizer containing good percentage of
phosphoric acid and potash, is the best
fertilizer for apple orchards and most
fruits.
Some asparagus growers claims that an
improvement of fifty per cent. can be
made in the asparagus bed by selecting
two year-old plants that bear no seed.
These are males, and tho shoots from
them will be earlier and larger.
A nurseryman says that be prevents
borers by bottling one gallon of soap and
adding to it one teaspoonful Of turpen-
tine. This is mixed with water until
thin. He then takes brush aud paints
the body of the tree with the solution
about March before the foliage begins to
start.
There are no disadvantages to be cited
against obtaining seeds, trees, ETC., from
points considerably north of where the
planting is done We are not so certain

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
THE nARNYARD.

Out Of the barnyard are the issues OF
crops. Some farmers have no barn
yards, and they are the ones who COM
7 lain OF hard times. The no barnyardl
system of farming will answer only in,
those places where the soil is still rici'
with the virgin fertility, and they are,
getting, like the bison, to be a rare,
thing in this country. Save the manure.
Waste your swill, and let the apples,dc-
cay upon the ground, if you will, but
save the manure. Let us look into a
mans barnyard in winter, and there,will
be no trouble in determining about tn,
size and fullness of the granary, and
how the daily table is supplied with
food. Build the whole farm upon the
barnyard. American Agriculturist.

A Hook and Ladder COMPANY.

There is generally misconception rs
to what is meant by hook and ladder
company. The use of the ladder is at
once understood, aad the necessity of it;
the hook is an implement used to pull
down portions of buildings with. The
hook is among the oldest OF implements
used for scaling walls, and dates back
from medieval times. The scaling lad.
ders are made of single length of tough
wood, with the rungs at right angles
with 1t, and passing through it. It's
upper end terminates with a metal hook,
which permits it to be alta ched to the
window-sills or copings Of house. In
ordinary cases ladders are used, but there
are many fires where, in order to obtain
access to the upper portions of a house,
the hook becomes a necessity. Ladders
are not always long enough to reach tlc
desired heights, aad thea the hooks sup
plemeut them.
Hook and ladder compau les are essen
TALLY c.saving in their duties. To each
fire battalion in New York there arc
generally assigned two hook AMI ladder
companies. There are tbirty.six to forty
hook and ladder machines, though theJ
may not be all in service at one time,
some being under repair. To a
book AMI ladder company there is
given an average of twelve men, and in
particular cases there have been as many
as eighteen. These men represent the
pick Of the service Us to physique. All
of them have passed through the school
OF instruction, aud have been specially
trained for their duties. 1t is not COOL
ness alone that is requisite, but that per-
feet reliance which comes from WELL
trained muscles.

A Jerusalem Hosiery.

In Jerusalem the finest, and, in
fact, the only, hotel is kept and
owned by a Philadelphia. Several
years ago he visited the ancient city
and saw that a good hotel would pay,
and he at once erected first-class
hostelry. Pilgrims from every land
bound for Jerusalem were only too
glad to find a clean, comfortable no
tel so far away from home, and 1t Is
now royalty patronized by travellers.
Guides are kept who are experts in
Biblical history and who pilot guests
to all points OF interest. The discus
sions around the hotel tables, in
which Moses. Jacob, Pharoah, Paul,
John and other figures Of sacred his
tory form the chief staple OF CONVEX
sation, are said to resemble very much
those of a minister's weekly meeting.
