Talking with Major I. II. Norton
about some OF his war experiences wO
touched on General Nelson aud the
affair with General Jefferson O. Davis,
Both Of these officers were young, Mol
son being two or three years older than
Davis. Both had ServOdin Mexico, Nell
son in tho navy, Davis in tho army.
Nelson was Kentuckian, Davis an In
dianian. For some reason, probably
because a much higher relative rank
was offered hin, Nelson left the navy TO
accept from the gov@nor Of Kentucky a
commission as brlgadier general. Davis
was in Fort Sumter when it was bonn
bardNd in 1891. He was soon in COM
mand OF a brigade oil Indiana voiun'
teers Il was this brigade that caused
the trouble.

A Peculiar Disease.

al cannot say whether shall make
any detailed aud professional use of
my observations, said neurologist,
''but l do not mind telling you in a
general way that New Workers are fast
becoming race OF unconscious mono-
logists-- that is, of takers to them
selves without knowing it. Go down
into the business quarter of the city
and just watch the people there. L
have not got my percentages together
yet, but 1t is safe to say roundly that
you will see nearly half the people ex-
hibiting some of the forms of the dis
ease-for of course it is disease.
They are either moving their lips,
wagging their heads, puckering their
eyebrows, making gestures with their
hands, or doing something, while in a
great number of cases they are busy
carrying on imaginary conversations
between themselves and somebody
else, laying down the laws with much
emphasis, reading the riot act to some
one, or else meeting imaginary issues
with circumstantial replies.
"You will see men doing the same
thing in hotel lobbies, in the street
cars and on the uptown thoroughfares.
Women are falling into the habit also,
but not so much as men. The other
day, while was waiting for my coupe,
sat at the Office window, and / de-
clare that out of the seventy five peo-
pie who passed, eight were showing
some signs of monalogania.
'Of course the primal cause OF the
disease is that we never allow our
minds any period of repose. We are
so eternally full of plans and schemes
that anything like a quiescent mood
is unknown, and that condition OF
morbid mental activity supervenes,
which in turn is followed by distinct
weakening of the censory cells, o.
which condition elf-communicatior
is always one of the symptoms.
''At the same time it must not be
overlooked that undoubtedly much o
the habit is due to the fact that this
city is SO full of noise that one cannot
hear ones self think, and so peopl,
have to think aloud. New York Sun

CONSTRUCTION OF A PIT.

From lady skilled in Horticulture,
writes M. W. Early to Home and
Farm, have obtained the following
reliable directions for the construc-
tion of pit. ''Having successfully
tested the virtue and economy OF
having pit, says she, 81 would sug-
gest to others the advisability of try
ing the same. No one need be ap-
palled by fear of any very great
expense. 1 venture to say that the
sum Of SIS will secure a good pit, pro-
vided few necessary precautions are
taken in the structure. Six feet is
amply deep. Choose a warm, sunny
spot as little shaded by trees as pos
sible, on the southern side of the lot.
Begin by laying of the ground, nine
feet by fourteen. These dimensions
will furnish pit large enough to
hold more flowers than one person can
attend to out of pit, and leaves
room for any vegetable which you
may wish to start either by slip or
seed earlier than cold frame or hot
bed would enable you to do. Indeed,
there is no safer aud more convenient
plan for having early tomato plants
than to raise them in pit. They are
far more forward than any you at
tempt to raise in the house, and it is
great saving of trouble to have
them in the pit. "
After the pit is dug it is good plan
to dig little hole or we'll, three feet
deep and three feet square, to hold the
water which rises after rains or
SHOWS, and which is apt to produce
mould or mildew in the flowers,
especially those on the lower tiers.
This hole being dry, the next thing is
the frame or woodwork, and this re-
quires about a days work from a car
penter. The frame should be three
or four feet above ground at the
back, and should have a slop of at
least two feet from top to bottom.
Be very careful to haye the planks
tight and close. Havea double casing
OF the frame made after the four posts
are secured to the corners and frame
nailed to the outside. An inside casing
will give neater finish to the job
and keep out any little cold which
might force its way in. 1t is an ex-
cellent plan to fill up the casing with
saw dust. Be very careful to see that
the frame for the sashes of glass is ar
tight fit as possible.

FUTURE For MUTTON.

There is no doubt that the mutton
sheep has great future before it. If,
despite free trade and high rents, the
English farmer can find money in the
industry, the American, with his un-
rivaled natural and political advan-
tages, ought to be able to. 1t is not
true that the English sheep-raiser has
any idea of going out of business.
The number of sheep in that country
has declined, owing to last years
great drouth, but at this years au-
tumn sales at the sheep fairs high
prices have prevailed. A Lincoln ram
was sold for $3.50, and nineteen others
of the same breed averaged $3.50 each.
Another lot of twenty averaged $140
each. AT Scotch ram sale one Border
Leicester ram brought nearly $780,,
and the two others $500 each. The
same breeder sold thirty-two rams at
an average of over 5000.
To be able to pay these prices farm
ers must not only have made money
heretofore, but they must be satisfied
that there is still money to be made,
and that it is to be obtained only by
the use of the finest rams procurable.
The Importance of breeding only the
best has been too much overlooked in
America. We are only slowly realiz-
ing that it is quality rather than
quantity that counts. While we may
find that one good animal may cost
more than scrubs, it will also bring
considerably more when marketed,
and meantime the greater expense of
maintaining two animals must be set
off against the original cost. Col

strassburg,s strange Club.

An original idea in the way of clubs
has been conceived in Strassburg. A
number of people in that city are said
to have formed themselves into So
ciety whose principal rule requires
that each member shall make the as
cent of the cathedral spire at least
once day. The club is thus compre-
hensively entitled Strassburgermunst
erthurmplattformalletageeinodermeh
mahleersteigerungsverein. The word
is certainly an admirable one if, as
may be presumed, 1t has been designed
for pronunciation by members during
the Observation-Disclosures Gazette.

soil artichokes yield enormously, and
one acre will fatten twenty-five or
thirty hogs, with few bushels of corn
to harden up their flesh at the close Of
the season. In localities where the
ground does not freeze hard in wni-
ter, field of artichokes will be found
most excellent food for pigs and swine
that are TO be kept over as stock ami
mails. The artichokes viii not spread
into adjoining fields, and if you give
the hogs a chance at them you will
not need to resort to other means for
killing out the plants. The tubers
can usually be obtained at seed stores
if orders are sent in early or during
the winter months. New York Sun.

THE DRAuaHr HORSE WANTED,

Horse buyers go from Europe and
the United States and Canada to find
good Clyde or Shire weighing not
under 1900 pounds from three to
seven years old, good head, we'll
shaped neck set upon full shoulders,
large girt or full heart, barrel round,
and straight heavy quarters, heavy
bone-fat, wide and oordy; short in
pasterns, hoofs good size, we'll shaped
and kind, and a good walker.
For animals of this kind the de-
mand is considerable. The prices
paid range from $3.50 to 5000 in the
local markets, and to the first cost of
animal must be added the expense Of
the trip and the cost of transporta-
tion. 1t would seem that our farmers
might make money by raising such
stock. New York World.

Pnlseometer.

A pulseometer has been invented
which, it is claimed, it is possible TO
tell to fraction the exact condition
of the heart beat. An electric pen
traces on prepared paper tho ongo-
ings, baltings and precise peregrina-
tions OF the blood, showing with the
fidelity of science the strength or
weakness of the telltale pulse. This
should, it is considered, be of special
advantage to life insurance doctors,
as well as to the profession at large.

A Curious Dream.

My husband was a minister at a
large church in n New England vii
lage where he had served several
years.
One night I had most curious
dream. seemed to be In front of q
long mirror, and reflected in il was
the face of woman l had never seen
before. She had light golden hair,
while mine was dark, and her whole
appearance was different from mine in
overy way. I remember I thought it
peculiar that / should have changed
80 suddenly. Then I woke mp.
The next night dreamed the same
thing again, but while was standing
before the glass the woman came into
the room. turned and pointing to
the mirror, asked her what il meant.
"Ohl" she said, "that is the way you
will look /" The following day told
the family about my dream, and they
all thought it very strange.
A few months after this, ms I was
walking out of church one Sunday, l
passed pew with strange lady in it
she turned ms I passed, and what was
my surprise TO see the very face of the
lady l had seen in my dream.
Six months later my husband died.
One afternoon the maid announced
lady and gentleman to see me. went
down to the parlor and came face to
face with the lady of my dream
the same one had seen in church.
She introduced her husband, who she
said was minister and who had been
chosen rector of that parish.
soon left the parsonage and my
dream partly came true; for this lady
did take my place and became mistress
OF the rectory. Illustrated American.

TnE WIDOW cor rAMAdrs.

In 1890, Mrs. Mary E. Sawyer, OF Saline
County, Nebraska by her attorneys, A. G.
Wolfenbarger and w. Henry Smith, OF Lin

eral saloon-keepers for constantly supplying
liquor to her inebriate husband, causing his
death, and thus depriving her and her minor
children OF nsedful support. The evidence
produced at the trial showed that Andrew j.
Sawyer, the husband, was an honest, hard
working farmer when he began patronizing
theSaloons of tho defendants in Crete that
he continued drinking until he became inca-

1889, by his reckless squandering OF his prop
erty through drink, he and his family were
reduced TO abject poverty, and friends and
neighbors assisted the mother and children
with food and clothing to keep thsm from
starving. The case was bitterly fought by
prominent ex-distrlct judge and his associ-
ate on behalf OF the liquor men, but the wild
ows lawyers won judgment OF $500 for
her and the children. The liquor men car
ried the case TO the Supreme Court, where it
has been pending since 1892. Judge Morris
appeared for the saloon-keepers and A. G.
