Much is said of late about steriliz-

The best use to which wood ashes
can be put is on the grass land. Land
that is intended for scarlet clover this

value, but every ounce of wood should

1t must be remembered that those
dairymen who report 800 or $50 pounds
of butter per COW annually have come

An experiment has lately been tried
of feeding geese with turnips, cut
in small pieces like dice, but less in
size, and put into a trough of water:
with this food alone the effect was.
that six geese, each when lean weigh

twenty pounds each in about three
weeks fattening.
The advocate of turning cows out

The Misfortune That Has Overtakcn Lord
Randolph Churchill.

Randolph Churchill.
The mental difficulty OF which Lord
Randolph Churchill is the victim and
which threatens 10 compel his retire.
ment, is no surprise to those who have
closely followed his career. a nervous
and delicate temperament has at last
failed TO respond to the heavy and reg
Mar drafts that have been made upon 1t
for years past. His career has been full
OF surprises and contradictions. Like
his rival, Balfour, Lord Churchill en-
tered parliamentary life under indepen-
dent colors. as privateer carrying
letters OF marQue and reprisal, permit
ting him 10 cruise where be liked, and
saucilv board the numbering craft that
sailed the old course on the political
seas. Unlike Mr.. Balfour, who soon
entered the regular service, Lord Ran
dolph has wandered backward and for
ward from one command TO another,
mailing up one flag to-day, only to pull
it down tomorrow for more attrac-
tive banner Lord Randolph does not
stick. When not throwing over q poll
tical party, a political party might be
dispensing with his mastery services.
There IS one thing that must be said
OF him-he has never gone about with
a mask. He has let the politicians know
what he thought OF them. He openly
expresses his likes and dislikes, and the
candor with which he describes his own
motives has been phenomenal. Never
theless, il has been impossible to know
where you will find him at any
given time. But II Lord Randolph has
had few political allies, be has had
hosts OF personal friends, aDd the cour-
age OF his convictions In choosing them.
One night last year he gave dinner to
the Prince Of Wales at the Junior Carl
ton Club, in London, and the guests
were drawn almost equally from the
ranks of the various political parties.
Lord Randolph is fond OF horses, as
well as of the House OF Commons, and
he is q familiar figure at the races. Lord
Randolph has very much more ability
and seriousness OF purpose than his op-
ponents have given him credit for. He
has plenty OF time TO prove this,
for he is not much beyond
Ralfour's age. Undoubtedly he
would like to lead the House,
ard, by preference, the Tory party
| But there he will have Bafour TO reckon
with, and possibly another. He is a
capital debater aud good speaker. He
has played many roles, and in many
styles He is versatile performer.
"Give il 'em hot, Randy" cried the
man in the gallery when his lordship
addressed 3 political meeting. And
Randy has always given 1t EN- hot"
Socially Lord Randolph is very agree
able and entertaing. BE is unaffected,
interested IN whatever is going 90, and
has an opinion on all subjects. He has
done remarkable things and held high
honors for so young q man, and he will
do and hold more should be recover his
health, which now seems hopelessly
shattered.

A HEROIC LITTLE MAID.
General Forrest Protected From Federal
Bullets BY d Brave Guide.


By way Of preface to the recitation
OF his poem, THE Veterans OF the
South" at the Birmingham Confeder-
ate reunion, Henry Clay Fairman, edi-
tor OF the Sunny South, related the
following thrilling story, given In the
Birmingham Age Herald, as having been
vouched for by General \. b. Forrest
himself
"My authority" said the speaker, sis
Colonel John Goode, Of Virginia, who
related 1t to me and two others at
Richmond last May, with the remark
that nobody ever heard the General re-
repeat the incident without heart thrills
and watery eyes"

bold and unexpected enterprises which
nave immortaized him as knight OF

Night was upon him and river was

The blow must be struck at once or
the opportunity OF surprising the
anemy would be lost,
At the head of his eager and devoted
columns he stopped al the door OF log

appeared In answer TO his call, he
said
"My good woman, want to ford tho
river right away"
"You can't do it," she answered; TITS

by working rs locksmith and making
trips to other parts OF the world, out
always returning TO London.
The story OF what is known as the
Benevento attempt. as told by DR.. Gin
nassi is as follows:
1.-THE attack was not made upon Ben
evento at all, but upon two small towns,
LettiHo and Gallo, near Benevento.
Lettino has J, 900 Inhabitants and Gallo
5000.
1--WE were only twenty-six or twenty
savep people, and of course could do
nothing, but we stirred up the working
people of these towns to the point OF .
revolution.
1--WE gathered o great crowd Of peas
ants as we marched on Lettino, and as
we entered the town on one side the
police went out on the other, and left IL
at our mercy.
1.-THE people OF the town rallied round
Us ana we went straight to town hall,
whore we secured the archives, the pub
lie documents and property titles, ETC.,
and making q great heap OF them in tbs
public SQUARE, set fire to them. Our
object in doing this was to destroy all
the records OF the ownership OF private
property.
1.-THE town was at our mercy and we
had no opposition. In three or four
hours time the news Of our actions had
travelled 10 Gallo, which was three miles
away, and q oeputation OF the working
people of that town waited on US and
asked us to come and establish the COM
mune there.
"Reinforced by about 800 men from
Lettino, and all armed with flint lock
muskets, we started for Gallo, and
meeting with no opposition, carried out
the same programme there.
ave then started for another town
of about 10000 inhabitants, the name
of which l forget, but on the way
learned that the troops had taken pos
session of It, and not feeling strong
enough to attack them, we dlsOanded
our followers.
1--WE spent six or seven days in the
country wandering around, alter that,
and sleeping in the open air.
zone night, however, snow storm
came on and we were forced TO take re-
fuge in a barn, the proprietor OF which
recognized us and betrayed US to the
soldiers who were hunting us. When
we woke in the morning we were sur
rounded. and being overwhelming y
ut.numbered surrendered without max
ing any resistance.
1--WE were tried and, despite Merlino's
defense, were sentenced to ten years
imprisonment. King Victor Emanuel,
however. died after we had been locked
up eighteen months, and general am
nesty being declared, we were released.
After that tried to live In Italy
but every week my fathers house was
searched for papers. etc, although l
took no moro active part in the move
ment.
II was stated In the dispatch that
Merlino would probably be sentenced to
twenty years imprisonment, and while
DR.. Ginnassl thinks that this is likely,
he laughs at the idea that the sentence
will ever be served.
"MerIiuo VIII be out again in six
months" he says. Tine Italian gov
eminent is like the Brazilian war, all
bluff and buster aud no performance e.
Meriino will be tried by a military
tribunal and sentenced, and In few
months the process will be reopened in
the civil courts and he will be either re-
leased or allowed TO escape. They Will
think that they have done well il they
get him out Of Italy"
