Binghamton is probably the only
city in the United States that has the
distinguished honor Of having her cleo
trio lamps trimmed by one having the
royal blood Of Spain flowing in his
veins and who at one time, not many
years ago. rolled in luxury.
Maurice Gondalfo IS . name well
known throughout Central America
and among clubs Of New York. Many
years ago his father, who was, it is
said, - prince Of the blood" emigrated
from Spain to Central America, where
he rejuveDated tho depleted fortunes
of his family. It was here he met and
married . young and charming native,
one Ut the flowers of the ancient Latin
sristocracy.
The general was in the habit Of
strolling about his plantation supervis-
ing the work Of his men armed with .
short. heavy sword Ono afternoon,
- he was passing through . heavily
wooded portion of his estate. he was
attracted by . peculiar, powerful odor
issuing from . ravine which branched
OF the regular pathway. Forcing his
way through tangle Of vine and nm
dergrowth, . terrible sight met his
gaze. In cleft or cave in the face Of
the cliff stood one OF his native employees
armed with . short stick. fighting for
his life . score Of venomous reptiles,
which were Kissing and circiing about
him.
The brave old soldier, without thought
- to the consequences, drew his sword
and started to the rescue. It was .
terrible battle amid the poisonous Vi.
pers, but finally the last Of the reptiles
was dispatched and the general turned
to his companion, who was already
desthly sick. He had been struck in
two places and it was evident could
not survive. Before he died, however,
he told the general that the cave was
the entrance to . rich vein OF gold,
and though discovered many years
ago by natives, It had never been
worked, being guarded BY the veno-
nous reptiles
A gang of men under the generals
cleared the cave. It proved
to be gold mine and made Goudalfo
wealthy. When the general died Maui
rice, his heir, came to New York, where
he formed many scqusintances among
the clubmen OF the metropolis I'm

Improvement In Eastern Apples.

American Agriculturist reports that,
despite the partial failure of the apple
crop in New York state, the metropoli-
tan market has been more than we'll
supplied with apples the present season.
There are some notable facts apparent
in this seasons show of fruit. There
seems to be a greater variety of apples
than is commonly seen at this season,
and among these are some, now quite
plentiful, which have of late years been
extremely scarce, such as Newtown pip
pin, Esopus spitzenburg, Jonathan,
Rawle's Genet, Swaar, Seek No Fur
Their and Dominic. All of these have
been more or less plentiful, of fairly
good quality and free from scab.
There is no other possible explanation
Of this seeming revival Of. apparently
dying out varieties, says the authority
referred to, than that it has been brought
about by spraying and in some cases
by a more intelligent fertilization. That
this is the correct solution is further
shown by the improved quality of the
commoner varieties which come from
orchardists who are up to date, such as
the Baldwin, Northern Spy, Talman
Sweet, Rhode Island Greeuing, Ben D;
Wis, Hubbardston, Tompkin's King an,
earlier in the season of Gravenstein and
Fameuse.

Live Stock Points,

A man In Slsklyou county, Cal, says
that be feeds alfalfa to every kind of
animal on his place, even to chickens
and white rabbits, and they all do we'll
on it.
Now is the time to arrange where
you will plant the root crops and other
vegetables for the live stock Some
pumpkins for the hogs, in places where
they will grow we'll, are not to be for
gotten. Hogs like pumpkins as well as
people like pumpkin pie at Thanksgiv-
ing
A horse shows his character in his eye
and head. If he has good eye, open,
fearless, steady and bright, the chances
! are that, like a man with such an eye,
he will do to tie to.
An expert says that the best feet in a
horse are those that if they are held
| bottom upward, will contain water, like
cup; hence these feet are called cup
| shaped.
IA mutton form with fair coat of
medium wool is as certain rent payer
as the pig
A successful breeder of pigs recon-
mends giving boar an occasional bath,
with little oil in the finishing water
to soften up his skin. He says it re-
freshes The animal and makes him Wig
Orous.
Mudholes are no better for hogs than
they are for people. So far as their di-
gestive apparatus goes a hog and hu-
man are more alike than any other two
animals. This explains some things
A trade has sprung up in the killing
Of wild and worthless horses on the
western plains and canning their meat
for food. 1t seems as though a good
trade with France might be worked up
| In canned horse meat.

Why Use SO Much Fertilizer?

A New Jersey farmer was asked by
the author of Chemicals and Clover
why he used SO much fertilizer. Here
is his answer:
When we put fertilizers on our pota,
toes, we look forward two years to the
grass crop. That is why we use SC
much. For years and years we thought,
with other farmers, that fertilizers were
SO soluble that it was only safe to put
on just enough for one crop. That is all
nonsense On ordinarily level ground
we find fertilizers as safe in the soil as
out of it-safer, too, with wheat and
grass coming along to make use of them.
The more fertilizers I use the more
money make.

Hanks became renowned the world
over. Her fastest record was made at
Terre Haute, Ind. She belongs to Mr..
Malcolm Forbes of Boston. Now indeed
it was thought that the trotting limit
had been reached, but Nancy Hanks
only held the record one year, when she
was beaten in 1894 by Alix. The chief
owner of Alix is Mr.. Morris Jones of
David City, Neb.
Alix is bay, now about years old.
Her notable points are her long, musca-

that no piece of horseflesh would ever
beat her.
But in a few years came Sunol and
advanced the worlds trotting record by
half a second, in 1891.

Bonner, is a product of the Palo Alto
farm in California. She is daughter

Dehorn the Calves.

Dehorning cattle of all kinds is COM
ing steadily into favor. 1t is no more
unnatural than some of the other proc
asses it is necessary for domestic ami
mails to undergo and not SO painful as
these. The transit of beeves on ship
board would be robbed of large part
of its horrors if the steers were hornless.
The operation should be performed on
the calves when the horn is just bud
ding. A stick of caustic will do the
business then. Later saw and no end
of trouble are necessary.

GENERAL GRANT.
How Near His Personal Memoirs
Came to be Lost.

A Valuable History Written by . Dying
Man. Proper Nourishment Enabled
the Author to Live Until the Compile
ti0n Of His Book.
The fortitude shown by General Grant
in writing the second volume of his per-
sonal memoirs while he was literally on
his deathbed, excels even the remarkable
courage exhibited by this famous soldier
in his many achievements on the field Of
battle.
Col. Fred Grant, speaking Of his fathers
last illness, says:-
"During the last four months Of his
sickness, the principal food OF my father,
Gen. Grant, was Bovinine and milk; ana
it was the use of this Incompatible 1000
alone that enabled him to finish the second
volume of his personal memoirs"
DIR. Il. ii. Douglas, Gen. Grants physi-
clan and friend, cordially Endorsed the
above statement.
What Bovinine did for Gen. Grant it
has done, and is now doing, for thousands
every day. 1t is the most wonderful con-
centration into small bulk of all the
life-ciyinc, muscle, flesh, and blood-mak-
ing elements of lean, raw meat ever pro-
duced.
1t is in no way medicine, simply a
food invigorant, that by its strengthening
qualities gives the WORKOUT or disordered
vital centres of the body an impetus that
again starts them performing their natu-
raj functions.
1t is Endorsed by eminent physicians
everywhere, and blessed by thousands
whose lives it has actually saved.
To neglect to use this wonderful food
in all cases of debility, wasting diseases,
overwork, stomach and nerve diseases, or
for weak infants, chronic invalids, loss of
vitality in old age, is to throw away ona
of the greatest chances of saving life.

The Kind That Cures
SARSAPARlLLA

1t is an honest medicine, the dis
covery of an honest physician,
working in the interests of man
kind. That he has succeeded in
his aim the stories told by those
living right in your own vicinity
prove.
The life of MRS. A. BASSETT
of EAST VASSALBORO, ME-,
was for eight years one of great
suffering. Tormented by Dyspep-
STA, induced by Cancer in the
Stomach, life was a continual mis-
cry. Physicians and their medi-
cines, and widely known remedies
were used without effect. The light
est food distressed her. DANA'S
Sarsaparilla CURED her. Do you
wonder at her faith in it?
