Just Such Clothes - they Were Garrisd
In Sixty Years Ago - *,t.
A. year ago last spring, snyp Scran-
ton (Pa.) correspondent of the New
York Sum-. Mrs. Henry B. Shetland, Of
Gibson township, Susquehanna county,
said to her husband: Henry, we
ought to raise some fax this year."
The aged farmer hadn't raised crop
Of fax in thirty-nine years, so he
asked: "What for, Elizabeth" "Wsu,
you know, Henry" replied the good
old wife, '.if we live till O year. from
June We'll have been married sixty
years, and + thought it would be nice
to give party then and receive our
guests in the same kind of linen cloth
ing we wore when we stood up to be
married down in Connecticut in 1888.
We've got all of the old flax tools
stored away, and If you'll raise some
flax, Henry, I'll spin and weave it and
make nice homemade suit for each
of u.s."
Farmer Shetland was eighty-six and.
' his wife eighty-five at the time. Both
were rugged and healthy, and when
the old farmer had thought the matter
over for a moment he exclaimed: "By
George, Elizabeth, I'll do it." -.
A few days afterward the old farmer
prepared a piece Of rich ground back
of the barn and sowed a patch Of fax.
The aged couple watched its growth
every day with anxiety The crop was
excellent and when it had got ripe in
the fall Farmer Shetland gathered it,
beat the seeds from the tops, and
spread the straw on the grass to rot.
/ In November he tied it up in. bundles
and packed it away in the barn.
On beautiful sap morning in March
Farmer Shetland brought out the fax
and stood it up. along the south side of
the barn. The wind was in the north
and in day or so the fax was as dry
as bone. Then the old farmer broke
it, swingled it, and turned it over Il
his aged wife, who Immediately tied
up her head, shut herself in the l1itch-
en- and hatchelcd the fax till all the
tow was separated from it. The next
day she GoG the old spinlirg-wheel
from the garnet, oiled it Up, and began
to make it b!lzz unsteady. Farmer
Shetland came in smiling and happy
while his wife was spinning.
I'D rather hear that wheel than q
piano, Elizabeth" he said. "It is like
old times
$50 it does, Henry. But can't make
the wheel go as fast as used to-"
In few days the old lady had spun
all the flax and recIcd il into slseins
The next thing she did was to boil the
slieins i'll u weak I've of wood ashes to
bleach the yarn, and when that was
done Farmer Shetland ripaed tho
slSeins in the brook till all the I've was
out. Mrs. Shetland began at once to
weave the yarn in the old loom. and by
june 1 she had woven il I'LL into cloth.
Within three weeks tae old lady
cut and made q frocl1 and apron for
herself and n whole suit for her hus-
band, and june 2G last the aged couple,
dressed in their homespun linen gar
ments, celebrated the sixtieth ami
versary OF their marriage in COM
pany Of three-score relatives and
friends

Cider Oil and its Workings.

"Cider oil is the popular drink in the
Sullivan county, Pa, backwoods," +" said
a Scranton trout fisherman, sand the
free drinking of it made the natives do
some funny things while our party were
over there whipping the purling trout
streams last week Every adult male
imbibes cider oil in that interesting re-
gion of timber, locks, waterfalls and
pools and bibulous visitors get into the
same habit the first day they are there.
Cider oil is delicate compound, and
to the novice it is so deceiving that it
will floor him before he knows it, if he
isn't careful. But the natives know
Just how to handle it, and it is rare
thing for the delicious beverage to roll
one of them under the table. | can't
say as much on the part of some recent
visitors to that section. Cider oil, as
and several other city sports learned for
the first time last week, is composed Of
three parts of cider and one of whisky.
The whisky is mixed with the cider in
the fall, when the cider is new, and
by the next summer the liquid has be-
come so mellow and agreeable that you
are tempted to drink it indiscreetly.
They told us in one place that the
smaller ingredient in the deceptive de-
coctiou was cheap moonshine whisky,
but it was mighty good, even though
the United States government may not
have collected any revenue on it. One
generous native put up sixteen barrels
of cider oil last fall, and they said it
was more than half used up by
Christmas.
Whenever native teamster gets
loaded to the gullet with cider oil he
imagines that he can do wonders with
his whiplash, and he will bet you gal
Ion OF cider oil that he can kill fly on
horses ear with the cracker of his
wnlp without hitting the ear. A Phia.
delphla dude with light trousers was
staying where our party were, and in
an unguarded moment he was unsophis-
ticated enough to snap up bet that a
native teamster offered to make. The
teamster had been sippiug cider oil for
an hour or so, and the Philadelpbis
dude got around him and was inauisi.

would bet gallon of cider oil that he

wager instantly, and the crowd filed

the dude bent forward till the seat Of

unsuspecting young Philadelphian

Game Cock and Rather.

One day last week a tom turkey be-
longing TO Mr.. Arnold S. Ormsby, a
Krinkle Root Ridge, Pa, farmer, COB
bled so long and noisily in the door
way just before dinner time Saturday
that Mrs. Ormsby wiped her hands on
Der apron and ran out TO see what the
gobbler meant by making such a rack
ct. She soon discovered that the tur-
keys noise was caused by rattlesnake
that lay coiled on the grass, and that
the gobbler was dancing around the
snake in state of anger that made his
rattles look fiery red. The snake was
as cool as a cucumber, Mrs. Ormsby
said, but. as the maddened fowl strut
ted and gobbled around it, the reptile
wagged the tip of its tail as though it
was getting mad also, blinked devilish-
ly at the noisy bird, and repeatedly ran
out its tongue as if it was trying to say
to the turkey: "Don't you dare to
come an inch nearer, old fellown'
Mrs. Ormsby grabbed the gobbler by
the tail and flung him over the fence.
The rattlesnake bowed its thanks 10
her, drew in its tongue, stopped wag-
ging its tail, and tried to look rs inno-
cent and harmless as an angle worm;
but its modest manners didn't deceive
Mrs. Ormsby particle, and she imme-
diately trotted into the house and got
kettls of boiling water, intending to
give the inuading reptile hot shower
bath.
Just as she reached the doorstep the
tom turkey and one of Mr.. Ormsby's
game cocks flew over the dooryard
fence and huttered toward the rattle
snake. The turkey gobbled angrily,
and the silent rooster stretched out his
neck and glared at the coiled reptile
pugnaciously, acting as if he was about
to give battle to creature of his own
race. Mrs. Ormsby pat down the ket-
tie. got broom, and attempted to
shoe the rooster away, but she wasn't
quick enough, for the snake instantly
struck at the rooster, and the alert
game cock evaded the deadly fangs by
! jumping up and rapping the rattler on
each side of its head with both spurs.
The snake recoiled and struck again
with a vengeance, and the agile roos-
Ter few over its head, wheeled like a
flash, and jabbed his spurs deep into
the back of the rattler's neck, just as
the snake had coiled for the third time,
following it up with another savage
thrust, before the astonished reptile
had chance to act. The wounded
rattler was unable to coil itself ,agair.
1t began to writhe so violently that the
pluckygame cock failed to reach its neck
although he jumped at it three or four
times, and it finally jammed its fangs
into its own sides repeatedly, and tore
about so fiercely that the rooster back
ed off and eyed it for a moment. The
tom turkey continued to gobble threat
eningly, and the game rooster, seeing
that he had completely disabled the
RATHER, flew upon an oleander bush
and crowed Justify. Then Mrs. Orms
by marched out with her kettle, but
she didn't waste the hot water, for the
snake had stretched out and was life

signed with due military precision, but himself
aud three men were not called upon to check
Fitzhugh Lees cavalry, as he doubtless had

They were William NJ Rogers. of Utah, and

The colored man in the navy made Just as
good fighter as the colorcd man in the army
but little is heard Of the part the colored men
took in the battles Of the sea. There are about
200 coored members OF the Naval Veterans
Association, but most of them live in the sea-
board cities, where they were discharged after
the war was over. Many OF them were unable
to attend the meeting of the association at
indianapolis on account OF the failure of the
railroads to make a cheap rate. Samuel Smith,
of Detroit, is the only colored member OF the
station at Detroit, but he came to tie meeting
He served one year and three months in the
navy during the war, and in that time served
on seven vessels. having varied experience
He enlisted at New York with half-dozen
other colored men. While on board thu Crocus
Ec was shipwrecked with the crew on small
island between Hatteras and Roanoke, and
there remained for week until picked up Dy
passing vessel. There was lively skirmish

wood at the last bombardment Of Fort Sumter
He was also member of the crews of the
Brsndywine, Minnesota, Vermont, and the
Hunchbaek.
Gen. Harrison was conspicuous figure at
the Encampment and numerous were those
who called upon him. Ex-Secretaries Rusk
and Noble visited him with a delegation of
