Mr.. Sewcll is probably the most inllu-
entail Republican politician in the state
and has already served ii term in the Unit
cd states senate, where his desk stood next
to that of senator benjamin Harrison Of
Indiana. lie can never be president of the

was only Is years old when he came to
America, and he began the battle of life as

drove Il mule team on the Morris canal,
and his talent for driving has stood him
in good stead during his successful polit-
ical career. From the bank Of the canal
to the lnited States senate is long way,
but Mr.. Sewell has Travelled it once and
may travel it again.
He spent several years at sea as n sailor
and located in Chicago, whore he made
some money. just before the war he re-
turned to New Jersey and entered the
Federal army as captain of the Fifth New
Jersey volunteers He rose to the rank of
brigadier general by brevet and led
charge at Characteristic. Although
twice wounded in the shoulder, he did not
leave the field and left the army at the
close of the war major general by brevet.
He served nine years in the New Jersey
senate, was president of that body three
years and was elected United States scna-
tor in 1881.
Franklin Murphy is chairman of the
Republican state committee and "A native

gallant war record. He enlisted at 10

began the manufacture of varnish after
the war and is now IA wealthy man. He
has been chairman of the Republican state
committee for several years, and last year

A PORK PACKERS PALACE.


Philip u. Armour, Jr., son of the null
timllionairc pork packer is now building
what is said to be the handsumcst house
in Chicago and one Of the handsomcst phi
waite residences in the country. 1t stands
on II lot 1872 feet by 200 feet in dimensions
and occupies Il frontage of 80 feet on
Michigan avenue and 100 feet ON Thirty
seventh street. From the pavement to the
top of the roof which is four stories above
the street, the distance is 100 feet. Con
nccticut brown tone is used in the con-
structiOn on all four sides, and the roof is
covered with rcd tile. The roof finals are
of terra Gotta to match the tile, ana the
sky line is broken by numerous dormcrs
towers and chimncys.
The construction throughout is fireproof
and resembles that common in the great
office buildings in Chicago, New York and
other cities. All the floor beams are of
steel, and the hes and partitions are Of
tile. The architecture is Of the style in
vogue in the time Of Francis l. and the

A Comfortable and Slightly Shelter For
Thirty Fowls of One Breed.
1t is seldom worth while for those
who rear fowls for family use to keep
more than one breed requiring a plain,
cheap house and one yard. A comforta-
bic shelter for poultry, apart from other
kinds of stock, is desirable upon every
farm, for while access to the barnyards
and COW sheds i'll the daytime is worth
very much 20 fowls, especially in Win
ter, still it is a bad plan to allow them
to roost anywhere and everywhere they
choose, as they are not only exposed to
inclement weather and to two footed
and four footed thieves, but regard
for cleanliness and order will demand
that they be assigned to quarters of their
own. The mechanic or the city dweller
or other person not possessed of farm
buildings, who desires to keep a few
fowls for domestic purposes, also needs
small poultry house. In the construc

Wintering Parsnips,

The practice of leaving parsnips in
the ground through the winter is very
general. The prevalent idea that freez-
ing and thawing add materially to the
favor of the vegetable is erroneous, as
experience proves, writes a Vermont
correspondent in The New England
Homestead He says: The better way is
to dig them late in the fall and store in
a cool cellar. The advantages to be
gained by this process are the early date
at which they can be placed in the mar
ket and consequent higher prices obtain
ed, and the length of time they retain
their flavor and freshness in spring and
early summer. Parsnips thus cared for
have been kept into June with marked
success. Furthermore, it avoids the ne
cessity of hustling around to dig the
roots in the spring before the tops have
made much growth. Likewise worms
and rot are unknown.

CaDbages In Winter.


Gardeners are now quite busy with
their cold frames, getting them filled
with cabbage and caulifower plants for
next springs use. While this is very
common practice, it is an expensive and
poor one, as the plants named can be
wintered with far less work, at the
same time much better, according to
American Gardening, which says:
For plants to winter over the seeds
should be sown about the middle of Sep
TENDER in any good soil in field or gar.
den. Sow thinly, in order to get good
stocky plants. Upon the approach OF
cold weather make trench, six inches
deep, of any required size, in which
place the plants upright, with roots
down, in the same manner as the full
grown plants are put away for seed pur-
poses Place upright in the center Of
the plants small bundle of straw, say
inches in diameter. This is for the
purpose of allowing the warm moisture
from below to escape, which will pre-
vent the plants rotting. Then cover them
with foot of earth, which will be am
ply sufficient to keep out frost, or at
least freezing In this trench the plants
will make an uninterrupted but slow
growth the entire winter, coming out
perfectly healthy and fresh in the spring.
When set in spring, such plants will
perfect their heads in two weeks less
time than those grown in a hotbed, OF
from those that have been wintered in
cold frame,
