 Frenchmen kept landing at the is land, and were pretty sure to be mur- dered by the father and his daughter. One time, when two French vessels were wrecked off the rocks and the crews swan ash ore, this lovely pair killed them all. At another time, when a French ship was near laundering, the old man, moved by the lamentable cries of the poor wretches, spared their lives to his lasting regret. Here he parenthetically remarks that he is a man, and that before one grows hard and bad enough to be a king or minister he must have stifed all the feelings that belong to human nature"
 These French monsters proved un- grateful and put on the airs of mas ters. When they returned to their ship our hero, who had previously plunged his stiletto into the hearts of two of them, arming himself with brace of stilettos and four pistols, boarded the ship and slew every living soul on board. Then the father and daughter took possession of the ships furniture and treasures and dragged the bodies of the victims to their home altar, where the fumes of their burning flesh rose in "a novel incense which seemed to please the Deity"

NAPOLEON AS A NOVELIST.

Discovery of a Work of Fiction Written
 by Bonaparte in His Youth.
 Napoleon, when about to enter on his adventurous career, committed to his uncle, Cardinal Fesch, a box of MSS. containing papers written from his sixteenth to his twentyfourthy year. After the cardinals death these papers fell into various hands. In 1S47 Lord Ashburnam bought them for the ex- orbitant price of forty thousand dol lars. They now belong to the royal library of Florence, and will soon ap- pear in book form under the auspices of Mir. Frederick Mason. The story was written at Auxoune, it's author, a lieutenant of cavalry, being then in the garrison of that place, and nine teen years of age.
 As a youth Napoleon Bonaparte adored England, the prime author of his future downfall, and detested France, whose idol and supreme ruler he was yet to be. These prejudices came out prominently in the story, which is of the blood-and- sort and which, written by hand less fla nous, would be dismissed as the very crude production of youth whose i'm agination reveled in scenes of carnage and horror.
 A grim old Sicilian warrior, who has fled from civilization and with his daughter inhabits steep, barren rock in the Mediterranean known as the Island of Garzona, tells the story. He had led revolt against the hated French lasting eight years. At it's close forty of his one hundred soldiers had been executed, his parents, wife and seven sons cruelty murdered before his eyes, and his daughter carried off as prisoner. In dying his father had made him swear eternal hatred and vengeance against the French.
 He was not allowed to remain unmo- tested on his rocky island. One day seven Turks landed there with three prisoners, one of whom they killed One of the two others, who were set at liberty, proved to be the long lost daughter. The third, Frenchman, the old man drove from him, bidding him

FATTENiNG CALVES.

Skim MILK should Be Gradually aabsti.
tuted for Sweet MIX.
To fatten calves successfully on
skim-milk and grain to supply the but
ter fat, the calves should first be fed a
moderate amount OF new milk for a
few days, and then skim-milk should be
gradually substituted SO that at the
end Of a few weeks the calves would be
fed entirely on skim-milk. 1T pounds
Of corn meal, the western variety pre-
ferred, is mixed with 1 pound OF lin
seed meal, old process preferable, it
will make fairly good substitute for
the butter fats Of the new milk. This
meal should be fed in very broad bot
tom troughs, so that the calves will be
compelled to lick 1t, thereby insalivat-
ing it. Care should be taken not to
feed too much skim-milk. The very
best quality Of fine clover hay should
be placed where it will be accessible to
the calves at all times. To properly
fatten calves either by this method or
by letting them have new milk from
the COW or otherwise, 1t should be re-
membered that for at least two weeks
at the beginning, the calves should not
be fed all they want, but should be
restricted If the best results
are to be obtained. The last two weeks
before sending the calf to market the
feed may be increased and the calf
given all or nearly all 1t will eat pro-
vided the bowls are not affected. Sue
cess will depend almost entirely upon
the watchfnlness and the skill OF the
feeder. AS the calves get to be to 8
weeks old, very often they will eat a
few roots, but they should in no case
have many. 1t will take some two
weeks longer to make good calves by
skim-milk feeding than it would by
giving new milk. Again let me repeat
that success will be due to the judg-
ment and watchfulness of the man
who has the calves in CHARGE. P.

HOME DAIRY PRODUCT.

Unless 1t Is Of the Best There Is No
Profit In 1t.
In the fight against oleo every dairy
man has part to perform. Not the
least Of this with many dairymen is
the improvement of their own product.
Oleo advocates claim, not without some
show of reason, that oleo finds ready
sale because there Is so much poor but
ter on the market, Oleo, flavorless, or
nearly SO. colored and put up in at.
tractive form in imitation of the
choicest butter, is fraudulently offered
to consumers as butter Thinking that
it is butter, consumers buy 1t in prefer
ence to genuine butter that is off fla
vor. For months past, during the low.
est business depression ever known,
choice dairy products have brought re-
munerative prices. What stronger in
ducements than good prices and fair
profits are needed to encourage Inn
provement in the quality Of the product
of the farm dairy? Better care OF the
cows, better methods of handling the
milk, cream and butter will make the
desired improvement, and they are
within the reach Of every butter-maker.
Improved dairy apparatus saves time
and labor and makes it comparatively
easy to turn out gilt-edged product.

GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.
It ID Being Very Generally Urged b.
Progressive Farmers.

Progressive Farmers.
A Wisconsin correspondent is appar.
emily much opposed to the sentiment In
the country favoring an Improvement
Of the highways. He says: "The fault
finders are the city people, who are &C.
customed to Nicholson pavement, and
they do not find our roads smooth
enough to suit their convenience. But
the people at the bottom OF the affair
are the wheelmen, and they, as q rule,
pay very little toward keeping the
roads In repair" The fact is that the
movement for the Improvement OF high
ways is being very generally urged and
carried on by the farmers themselves,
who are the real sufferers from the
wretched roads that are almost uni
versal in the west. It is the farmer
who cannot afford that the presentsys
TEN continue. People In cities do not
20 into the country until summer, when
roads are dry and passable, nor dc
wheelmen do much travelling in the wet
weather.
But the farmer, living five miles from
town, is compelled to use the roads
constantly, rain or shine. His produce
has to be taken to the station and his
groceries brought from the village
store. Whether the mud is hub deep
or the roads dry he has to use them. In
the wet months he can take no advan.
tage Of the markets, because his prod
uce cannot be delivered. What he has
on hand in the fall he must hold until
the ground freezes. The mill, meeting
house store and school are four times
as far from him In muddy weather az
they are In dry weather, so far as time
is concerned, and an infinitely greater
distance when the question of comfort
is considered.
But the correspondent takes the
ground that "the fewer exchanges he
(the farmer) makes the better he Is
off," Then the best estate of the farm
er is that of a hermit, clothed in sheep
skins, surrounded by his children
dressed as he is. Does the correspon.
dent mean that the farmers of Wiscon.
sin would have been better off If they
still held the s3O, b21, 900 worth of corn,
wheat and oats they raised last yearq
The truth is that no portion of the
business community receives greater
benefit by multiplying opportunities
for exchange than the farmer. and
nothing will so largely increase the
means Of exchange as good country
roads.
This can be brought about by an Inn
provement Of methods rather than by
increasing the burdens of taxation, and
no time should be lost in putting the
improved methods into effect Chicago

New Filling for Thermometers.

Quicksilver, with which thermome-
ters are ordinarily filled, is not as use
full as it might be, from the fact that
Just when it is wanted to register an
extraordinary degree Of frost it has 9
knack Of becoming solid. Alcohol,
which is used for the same purpose,
frequently contains water, SO that its
registration can never be altogether
depended on. A new filling has been
discovered. 1t Is called by chemists
"tuluol," and is highly spoken Of. II
is extracted from coal tar. It CON-
tains absolutely no water, can stand
a much lower temperature than quick
silver without freezing, and when ex.
posed to warmth extends with great
regularity. Besides possessing these
admirable properties, It is very cheap;
and as it is much lighter than quick
silver the tube Of the thermometer can
be made much larger than Is now
usual, and thus it will not only be
much easier to read the record, but
greater exactitude in registrations will
be secured. The dark blue color OF
tuluo, is another element which will
contribute to the ease Of reading the
thermometer.

Gardening by Electricity.

BY the use of electric light Hon. w.
w. Rawson, of Arlington, Mass, claims
that he makes a gain of five days in
each Of his three crops Of lettuce
that is, two weeks in a season-that
the gain on one crop pays all the ex-
penses Of the electric lighting for the
season, thus giving him the gain on the
other two for extra profit. His atten-
ton was first called to the usefulness
Of the light by the advance made in
the growth at the ends of his green
houses next the street and in the glare
of the electric light. This was so
marked that he introduced the light
through his lettuce and cucumber
houses. Dr. Bailey, Of Cornell univer.
sity, says as the result of. his own ex-
periments that the influence of the
light is greatly modified by the inter-
position of glass roof. Plants In
jured by naked light were benefited
by the protected light Five hours
light per night at distance of twelve
feet hastened maturity week or ten
days, but proved injurious to young
plants and those newly transplanted.

Disappointed by previous failure, tho

disappointed Dy previous failure, tho
men made the personal search as strict
as possible, but IL was without result
One OF the inspectors even approached
fidele, and insisted on examining the
rug with which the dog was covered, as
1t might contain something hidden In
its folds. Fidele gave low growl at
being thus disturbed, and its master
took 1t up gently, and said; "Poor
f1dele Is not accustomed to be treated
roughly. Well, you have found moth.
Ing. l told you SO. And now suppose
we may proceed on our journey"
The chief examiner, bowling low, as.
sured his excellency that he would not
be further detained, and he was soon
In his sledge once more, carrying his
pet dog in his arms. The horses paved
impatiently, and the merry bells began
to tinkle chime Of departure. In o
moment the swift sledge was out OF
sight, leaving the disappointed customs
officers bewailing their i'll luck.
1t was again brilliant evening scene
at the winter palace. The young en-
press was surrounded by her court cir
Gle, and, when the ambassador ap-
preached, not little curiosity was
aroused as to the result of the wager.
1t had become lively topic Of specula-
ton since his departure, and bets had
been high on both sides. Even the EN-.
peror, who generally kept aloof from
such trifies, was amused at the Incl.
dent, and was Gu rious to know how the
marquis would explain the affair, as
the baff1ed Sc arch at the frontier had
been promptly communicated to st.
Petersburg. The empress felt triumph
ant, and naturally concluded that the
ambassador, rather than risk a failure,
had given up the idea altogether.
"Welcome back to ST. Petersburg"
she exclaimed, graciously extending
her imperial hand, and smiling as he
bent down over it. What news from
Paris? fear you did not find any
thing there worth smuggling, II may
trust the report Of my officers, who
seem to have treated you most unmer-
cifully, and searched every possible
corner"
"Your majesty certainly has no oc-
casion to find fault with your faithful
subjects, for can bear witness to the
kenness Of their eyes and An gers" the
marquis replied, with slightly amused
smile at the eager looks of the circle of
auditors. "But still, did bring back
a trifle, which perhaps you will allow
me to show You. My valet is in the
anteroom, as / could not well intrust
it to other hands, and perhaps your
majesty will give permission for him
to enter here"
With an incredulous look, which was
reflected on the faces Of her court, the
empress gave the required order, and
as Alphonse entered with Fidele in his
arms she could not suppress laugh, in
which her whole circle joined
"What a pretty little dogl" she ex-
claimed. "But 1t scarcely comes under
the head Of contraband, and If this 10

wager and my diamond ring Is safe"
The marquis did not look discon-
certed, but taking Fidele from the arms
of Alphonse, he placed it on the ground.
Now, Fidele, good dog, make your
bow to her majesty" and In the most
absurd way the dog kept nodding It's
head several times in succession.
"Now, Fidele, die," said the marquis,
putting his hand ON the dogs curly
head Fidele wagged his tail, gave
hoarse bark, and in another moment,
to the surprise and horror of the as
semblage, Its head rolled on the carpet.
There was an involuntary scream
from the ladies, and even the empress
cried out: "Oh what is that?" as the
marquis, bending down over the head
less body of Fidele, quietly drew forth
from the opening at the neck long
white roll of lace. Unfolding 1t care
fully, he held up to the astonished gaze
Of those present an exquisite dress of
the far-famed Chantilly lace, so finely
wrought as to be almost priceless A
murmur Of admiration was heard from
all. Gracefully kneeling before the
empress, the marquis presented the
lace.
"Will your majesty pardon my pre-
sumption and kin dly deign to accept

"How very beautiful it isl" the en-
press exclaimed, taking the delicate
fabric in her hand. 'It is truly a mag

playfully; and, taking the diamond ring
from her finger, she placed 1t in the

great interest, and it's head being re-
