Like romance had been the life of
the little drummer. Born on bed OF
straw, he passed his baby days under
tent, amid the shrilling CT fife and the
booming of drum. He grew with the
cannOnading. and when six months old
made Journey with the army in a wick
er basket in baggage wagon. On the
14rh of Vendemialre, year II, the army
Quilted its cantonmentS at Roer TO take
winter quarters. The noise Of the drum
reused the babe, who, instead of crying,
held out his tiny hands.
"Ab, the rascal The 'si-fa-soi' of the
drum doesn't frIghten that baby. It's a
good omen; he'll make brave drum
Mer." and little Jeane was replaced i'll
his cot.
All his childhood knew the WEAKNESS
of war de was but five when he lost
his father. He could neither read nor
write What needed he to know but how
to follow the regiment? A tifer at eight,
drummer at ten, his debut@NaS not al
together fortunate. His lean body and
big head won him the nickname of ''Ihe
Cup and Ball" He was at Paris. at st.
Cloud and In the bivOuaes of the grand

1t was the 1st OF December.
In the morning the emperor had said
to Lannes, so as to be heard by his SOL
diers, and rubbing his hands as he
spoke: Good We have them They
are pre- cisely as | would wish" The
word passed along the line like a pow
der train, and the veterans echoed:
Tomorrow the tricolor will wear
plumes upon its staff. When the Little
Corporal promises victory it's as good
as won."
At 8 the emperor passed along the
line on foot with Savary. The troops
remembered that it was the third ami
versary of his coronation, and prepared
an illumination as a spontaneous trlD-
ute. Then, wrapped in his blue coat he
stretched himself upon bench ana pill
lowed his head upon his hat. He was
mounted again at 5, giving his last or

That day, when ali did more than

deep raviue, guarded by six pieces of

DEADwooD, S. D., Feb. 16.-Tne
Times will publish the following TO-
morrow from Agent Brown, Pine Ridge
agency: "Will you kindly have people
informed that leading Indians of the
reservation in council stated they de-
sired peace and peaceful relations with
the whites along the border: that the
action of Two Sticks band was in the
nature of all accident, but the punish
ment OF the murderers was proper in
the eyes of all Indians. The relations
existing between the Indians and cow
boys and other whites on the reserva-
lion have been friendly and cordial, and
the majority of the Indians are willing
to continue these relations. The dan
gerOf an outbreak lies in the reckless
action of the whites or Indians on the
agency, and if all use their utmost to
restrain an act of violence an outbreak
will be avoided. One of the greatest
dangers is giving liquor to Indians. and
hope that all will refrain from giving
it In the future. There are at present
several bands of Indians Oh the lower
part of the reservation hunting, and it
is of the utmost Importance that they
be treated civlly, as bad results will
follow other than-this treatment"

Shameful
Confession

It is a shameful confession to
make that many people are
willing to use adulterated arti-
cles because they are cheaper,
and in doing so often subject
ing themselves to injurious
effects, for it must not be
supposed that those who are
willing, at the cost of repu-
tation and for the purpose of
gain, to impose adulterated
goods upon the public, would
hesitate to use injurious
adulterants.

GLORIOUS BUT USEFUL.

I think skunks do a vast amount Of
good and not much harm, is the state
ment of D. A. Barper of Genesee
County. We had a twenty-five acre lot
infested with white grubs last fall, so
much so that you could not look on the
ground anywhere without seeing where
the grubs had followed the drill-marks
and eaten off the row of wheat for a
space of six inches to a foot or more. In
October skunks had been over the whole
field and removed the grubs so, that we
could not find one of the spots that had
been eaten off but what the grub had
been taken out. The skunk can put its
sharp nose right on The spot where the
grub is at work. We have had a few
hen-eggs eaten by skunks, but not
enough to notice. The most loss we
ever suffered from them was when an
old dog tried to pick up n about ten
rods from the house; then the odor per-
vaded everything near there. A crock
Of October butter at the house in ten
minutes Hes fit only for soapgrease, and
we were uncomfortable for some time
from the presence of such powerful per-
Fumery. Men and boys are tracking
,kunks to their holes and killing them
Tor their skins, SO l fear they will be ex-
!erminated.-New York Tribune.

POTATOES FOR BREEDING EWES.

Raw potatoes, beets, carrots, turnips,
aud other kinds of loots may be given
TO breeding ewes with great benefit, pro-
vided they are fed in small quantities at
arst, increasing the rations as the animals
become accustomed to such soft and sue
culent food. In no case should SO much
be given as to cause looseness of the
bowels, or what is usually termed scours,
and wheE there are indications of this
the roots should be withheld until the
~droppings have returned to their normal
conditions. If the potatoes are large OF
medium size they should be cut up into
slices, but very small ones may be fed
whole. One quart of cut potatoes and a
pint of bran sprinkled over them would
be a fair ration to begin with, and only
once a day, increasing to double the
quantity in the course of three Or four
weeks. A little salt, say a teaspoonful
TO each animal, may be added to each
ration, unless salt is kept where the sheep
can help themselves. 1t is common prac-
tice to feed breeding ewes grain OF some
kind with good hay on well-cured corn
stalks, but all musty, mouldy food should
be avoided, as it is likely to cause abor-
tons. There is nothing better to IN,
crease a flow of milk than sugar beets,
and every farmer who keeps sheep should
raise a quantity of these roots to feed his
breeding ewes.-New York sun.

PowDERy

Professor Beach, of the New York
Experiment Station, says that the first
indication of the powdery mildew which
attacks the apple, peach and plum seed
llngs is the appearance of oobweb sppots
on the leaves IN spring. These spread
until the whole leaf is covered, The
aisease attacks both the upper and un-
DER surface, but does not enter the
tissues. 1t can be kept in check by five
or SIX applications of the ammoniacal
solution OF copper carbonate at intervals
OF about twelve days, the first to be
made when the leaves are about half de,
veloped. Both upper and under sur.
faces should be thoroughly sprayed. The
cost, aside from the labor expended in
making the applications, is about ten
cents per 1000 trees.-New York World.

Water Everywhere, But None to Drink

Sailors assert that sea birds may be seen
futtering under a rain cloud and drink
ing the drops as they descend. They
further assert that these birds discern q
rain storm from enormous distances and
flock toward it from every point OF the
compass. In all probability, however,
this is one of the many tales OF the sea
which are more picturesque than vera"
cious. The power of flying possessed by
many sea birds is so enormous that they
are, practically speaking, never out OF
the reach of fresh water; bus this re-
mark cannot apply to such comparative
" feeble wanderers of the ocean as the
stormy petrels, which are found IN It's
remotest parts. In all probability she
explanation as regards these n other
birds similarly situated is that they OBJ
tain SO large an amount of oil from the
fish on which they subsist that 'a's
almost entirely obvlates the necessity io'

Masts From Washington.

+ L. Cunningham is the senior mem.
har Of the Boston firm which nearly en-
lows a monopoly in supplying masts for
gsssels built on the Atlantic coast.
Twenty years ago, says MIR. Cunningham,
sossels were smaller than now and tim.
hsr for masts could be had in New Hamp-
.h;re and Maine. When the forests there
we're thinned out they fell back on Michi-
gan.

long if we wanted. 1t is little trouble
10 get a stick $50 feet long without a
knot. The lumber business in Washing
ton is extremely dull, and half the mills
along the Puget Sound are idle. A stick
that cost $110 a year ago can be bought
to-day for $50. The reasonf The South
American and Australian markets have
been overstocked, and there is no de-
mand. The markets are giutted. Why,
4 year ago the freight on 1000 feet of
lumber to South American ports was
s24. 80. To-day it is $3.50. And the
worst OF it is, there are no prospect of
Improvement for the present"
It may surprise many to know that for
twenty years this firm has been shipping
timber for masts from the Puget Sound
country. At first cargoes were onlysent
every few years, but of late a cargo a
year is the rule. The timber is shipped
in the rough, and the masts are shaped
at the various New England and Eastern
shlpyards.-St. Paul .(Minn.) Pioneer

A TAR ROOF FOR A ROOT HOUSE.

A serviceable covering may be made
over a root house, under the gangway of
a barn, by first covering with cedar logs,
as suggested, and these covered with a
concrete of tar and sand. But something
must be used under this covering to pre-
vent a loaded wagon from shaking the
support and SO cracking the concrete.
This protection will be afforded by LAYING
three-inch planks W the logs, and then
covering these with the floor of concrete.
Lighter planks might do, If a few inches
of earth or gravel be laid on them, and
the concrete then laid down. The earth
would give the requisite elasticity to the
wagon way. The concrete is made by
mixing the sand, first heated on a sheet
iron pan, with the hot tar, until the tar
is all absorbed and will not run. This is
then rolled firmly and cleau sand is
spread Oh to take up the surplus tar as
it may work to the top. Beating with a
fat plank rammer will dc as well as the
roller.-New York Times.

PEAsE FOR PIGS.

One of the mostSeprofitabie crops for
pigs that can be planted in the spring OF
the year is pease, and land cannon De
made to produce any crop that returns
80 much to the owfo!r. The pease may
be raked, stacked and fed to the pigs
from the stack, or the swine may be
turned into the field and allowed to eat
what they will. In the early part OF
August those that are needed for seed
should be gathered. On every five acres
of pea ground turn about twenty-five
pigs loose, and il they have been fed a
little corn through the summer they will
be in fine condition for the first market.
The first market is always the best, and
the first pigs that are fattened on the
pease will ave the corn for other pur.
noses. In addition to this the land after
the pigs have eaten the pease from it will
be in excellent condition for winter wheat.
The best soil for the field pease IS
moderately rich. sandy loan, and timothy
sod on such soil AM be turned over Tor
the crop very successfully. On low, wet
cold grounds the pea vines will not thrive
we'll enough to warrant one IN planting
them. Too rich soil is bad for them'

grows harder with age.
q. What are kalsomines made FRONT
A.. From Writings. chalks, ciays or other
inert powders for a base, and are entirely
dependent upon glue to hold them on the

decays in a short time by exposure to air
and moisture, and the binding qualities of
the material are then gone.
g. Does the Alabastine contain any in
furious substancei
A.. Alabastine has been most carefully
tested, and is recommended by leading sani-
tarians throughout the country, on account
OF It's sanitary nature.
