Queer LapSCS OF the Memory.

About three years ago l came to Har-
rlson Square in the cars and mounted
my horse for home. After galloping
about mile | suddenly found or i'm
agined [ had gone wrong / could not
recall the surroundings. I turned my
horses head back and went near to my
starting-place; again turned and rode
home over the same familiar road that
| had so often travelled The loss of
mind or identity of locality did not last
more than twenty minutes. On pre-
vious occasion | took the boat for Ma
liant at , o'clock, dined with a friend,
and slept at the honse of another
friend. The next morning l went
home quite well. Awakening the next
morning my wife alluded to nv visit to
Nahant the day before, of which | had
given her full account on my return.
l answered that l had not been to Ma
liant, and stuck to it. The whole
thing had left my memory. Being
alarmed, my wife sent for the doctor,
who came and found me asleep. [
awoke and found him feeling nv pulse.
and asked him why he had come, and
my wife stated the fact of nv having
denied the visit to Nahant 1 replied:
You have been dreaming, l am very
we'll, and do not require the doctor"
The whole details of my visit to Nahant
were fresh IN my memory, but the fact
of my having denied all knowledge of
them had become completely blotted
out. Many years ago, when navigating
ship through Java Sea, one night
about II o'clock we passed close to two
little islands called the Brothers. l

officer of the deck to call me at > a. m.

locality. | awoke soon after 3 o'clock,
wholly unconscious of having been
called, and went on deck and scolded
the officer for not calling me at ,
o'clock. He answered that he had
called me and informed me of the state
Of the wind and weather as in duty
bound, and that l, apparently wide
awake, had ordered the course altered

CLOSE TO WAR.
How General European Struggle Wa,
Ayerted.

How General European Struggle Was
About two months ago we were on the
eve OF a European war.
Some of the advisers Of the Gar in
sisted very much on the deslrabilitv Of
Russia declaring war against Germany,
as the defective ornaments of the Ger
man troops would give Russia great ad-
vantage over her opponent. 1t was
1urther pointed out TO the Emperor
Alexander that France was five months
ahead of Russia in the matter of arma
ments.
In order to ascertain the true facts of
the case the Gar sent his brother, the
Grand Duke Sergus, TO Rome, Paris
and London. By some indiscretion the
object of his Imperial Hlghness' visit
became known to the Spanish ambassa-
dor at st. Petersburg, who telegraphed
1t to Madrid, from which city the news.
IN some unexplained manner, found its
way to Berlin.
1t Is added that the Emperor of Ger
many at one moment thought war un-
avoidable.
The result of the Grand Dukes tray
els established the fact that, in the
various countries visited by him, there
was not that inclination of war which
the Gar 8 advisers would have led His
Majesty to believe. FiGGr0.

Exercise for Cattle,

Many farmers are utilizing their
bulls or growing heifeYs to run tread
power for various kinds Of farm work,
such as running the separator, pump
ing water, churning, and saving
wood. There can be no question that
such exercise is capital thing for
the general health and usefulness of
the bulls, and some think that bulls
worked thus are not SO likely to be
vicious and unruly, which stands to
reason. There can be little doubt
also that a moderate amount Of ex-
ercisc is good for growing stock, but
it should not be carried too far; the
young stock should never be worked
till tired; and COWS in milk will prob
ably do better with very little or no
exercise at all.

The other night StcubcnviIle man
coming home with his wife, discovered
his property scattered over the floor
and the burglar looking out of the win

arousing the burglars suspicious, took
aim and fired. The burglar fell 10 the
floor. The householder approached
the PROSTATE figure, and, to his aston
ishment, found that it was only boil

that when his brother entered, it fell

IrIitS ON ihn Farm.

Not only should the farmer use
every means to have all kinds Of fruit,
but he should endeavOr to have the
various fruits TO come in as early in
their season as possible. He should
select the earliest as well as the best.
Early fruit, though Of inferior quail
ity, will be of more pleasure and
profit than if later and of better
quality. Nv experience in market
ing fruit for the last eighteen years
has been to this effect. Seek the
earliest to begin with, the best quail
ity in all respects for main crop and
the latest to quit on. The first and
last or latest fruits are generally in
ferior, most especially with small
fruits. But to grow fruits to attain
the most pleasure and profit, they
must be planted on good soil, well
prepared and properly cared for after
wards To plant any variety of
fruit on poor SOIL, unless it is well
and properly manured, will not only
prove an Improbable investment,
but will discourage the anxious
grower and foster the idea that there
is no pleasure or profit in its Cultiya-
ton. While truths are very generous
in their demands, still, all varieties
of fruits prefer and should have, as
far as practicable soils genial to their
wants, where they flourish best ard
grow to perfection with smallest
amount of manure and cultivation.
Different situations, | have noticed,
make difference in the time Of ripcn-
ing, size, and quality Of fruit. l
have taken strawberry plants Of
the same variety of pure stock,
and set at the same time two
beds, one bed facing the southeast
and the other on level ground. There
was several days difference in the
time of ripening. Those facing the
southeast ripened first and sold for
% cents per quart, while those SCI on
level ground were as fine, if not finer,
but came in later, when there were
more berries in market, and sold for
only l25 cents per quart Thus, the
level bed would have deprived us of
the pleasure Of setting the first her
rieS of the season before our neigh
borS, and enjoying the same dainty
dish ourselves besides COnSidcra bic
profit. Thomas ID. Baird, i'll Farm

Crossing Poultry Breeds.

If we were called upon to givet adj
vice on crossing we would say Cfon't.
A breed is the result Of many C :osSes
in the first place, with judicious mat
ing for many years, and combines
within itself certain characteristics
that were sought. If you cannot
find the merits desired in on breed
then try another. Crossing entirely
destroys and obliterates both breeds
that may be used for the purpose
But If you will try crosses, then never
use common stock, but cross Two pure
breeds. In selecting them ise breeds
Of the same color. Never ross black

suits, when crosses are made, come
from maturing stock of un iform color
and characteristics, but II is safe to

A Foxy Postmaster.

An odd story is told of post-office
that WAS established in Connecticut
few years ago, near the New York state
line. 1t was such little one that the
department here was astonished at the
large orders tor stamps received from
Its postmaster. Investigation devel-
oped the fact that the postmaster had
two sons in New York City who had a
large correspondence as a business firm.
Instead of sending their mail from the
metropolitan post-otlice they shipped il
regularly by express to their father,
whose stipend from stamp sales was
thus increased from a normal 800 to

MRS. MS STORY.
Her Husband Misrepresented His Wealth
Before Marriage

-
Before Marriage.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, March 27.-Mrs. Eliza
beth Durham has story to tell of her
side of the divorce, the complaint in
which was filed Saturday by r. w. Dun
ham, ex-president Of the Chicago Board
of Trade and ex-member Of Congress.
1t is probable that the story will not be
fully related until it comes out in court,
but in the absence of Mrs Durham, At
tornev Mayer to-day outlined the mat
ter. The divorce suit, according to Mr..
Mayer, seems TO be the outgrowth OF
disputes over the carrying out of mat
rimonial contract, the end and essence
Of which appears to have been dollars
and cents. Thsre Is a direct charge
that Congressman Durham obtained
his wife on false pretenses. 1t is repre-
scented that he was worth 81 900, 900,
and he WAS not. This IS deemed suf-
tcient to MAKE any lady of spirit indig-
nant, and Mrs. Durham is admitted
to have spirit to spare. This, however,
is only the basis of the marital trouble,
the cause of the first outbreak. Then
came other troubles and it is asserted
that Mrs Durham has suffered IDtensly.
Mrs. Durham comes rom a prominent
family in Phlladel phia and is we'll off in
her own right. She married after a
years engagement. BY an anti-nuptial
agreement Mr.. Durham agreed after
marriage TO convey to her his home

THOu.iiticSS Farming.

1t is very difficult for the average
farmer to get out Of what may be
termed 'rut farming" There is a
disposition to adhere to old methods,
regardless of results.
At an Institute lecture, Prof. l. L.
Roberts of Cornell University, said:
Il farmcd without any plan until |
was 30 years old. Then one day |
sat down and said, Roberts, what is
all this for, and what am | receiving
for it: Why do l rise at three or
four o'clock and work at twelve at
night at carpcnterIng. after my rcgu-
lar work is dOne?' / received no sat

set me thinking, trying to do more
with my head and less with my
heels. | began to study, plan, and
think to do better. Now when l
have anything to do, | plan, stop,
and think"
This planning, stopping, and think
ing is what is reyOlIItiOnizing meth
DDS in farming. We do not desire
any such calamity or misfortune to
befall any farmer as being burned
out, but if something would occur
that was harmless in its effects, but
would set farmers to planning, think
ing, devising some means whereby
they can secure equivalent results
with much less labor, something
that will lead to the adoption of ways
ana means that have been found to
he productive of good, even if they
do come under the head or scientific
or book farming. This is an age Of
progress in all directions, and there is
no good reason why farmers should
