An Old-Time Fire Department.

In the last century, when English
cities had no systematic arrangements
for putting out fires, the city Of Lisbon,
Portugal, boosted of a fire department
which was the admiration Of travellers.
The water which the people of Lisbon
used was brought and sold to them by
watermen, who carried it on their backs
in barrels. These watermen were d.
yided into wards, each member of
whom took command Of the rest In
rotation.
Every man was obliged by the city
ordinances to carry his barrel home full
Of water every night, and in case of fire,
the waterman who had command went
around routing out of bed all his fel.
lows, who then picked up their water
barrels and ran to the fire.
This sort of a fire department would
now be regarded rs extremely slow;
but the Lisbon houses were all built of
stone or brick, and burned so slowly,
IL they took fire at all, that the barrel
brigade really had time to assemble
before much harm had been done.
An English sailor, who happened to
see a fire in Lisbon, was disguised at
the very slow progress that the conf1a-
grafton made.
A fig for such a fire." he exclaimed.
There's no spirit in this country. Why,
In England we should have had a dozen
houses burnt down by this timer

Extraordinary Story Told by q Wo-

In a charmingly furnished fat on

woman who claims to be the eldest
child. of Victoria, Queen Of England.
She processes to possess ample proof
Of this astounding declaration, but for
reasons best known to herself has not
yet pushed her claim to relationship.
Briefly her story is that Prince Albert
Of SAKE Coburg Gotha. the late hus-
band of Queen Victoria, vas in his
youth married privately to the count
ess Reuss, Of the German nobility. On
being united to the British sovereign
the former marriage was annulled,
but occasionally visited his discarded
spouse. A daughter was born to each
of the two wives about the same time,
and Mrs. Kent insists that she Is the
child Of Victoria. The Countess Reuss
sent for the prince c0nsort, as he was
called, and threatened to make q scan

, Rotating the Garden.

There is a decided advantage in DC.
c%asionally changing the location Of the
garden. The crops in the garden re-
Quire heavy manuring. As they occu-
ny the land every year there is no
chance to seed with clover, and the
soil, though rich enough, becomes too
heavy for profitable working. Where
4 clover sod Is plowed under the soil
is friable, and holds moisture without
becoming sodden. Many farmers do
not think OF changing their garden
spot until spring. Then it is too late
to make the soil rich enough for gar
dening purposes; but il a clover ley Is
top dressed heavily with manure in
the fall, and then plowed early in the
spring, it will be rich enough to grow
most kinds Of garden vegetables.
Such q plat of ground that had been
frequently In clover will be less weedy
than n that has been always used as
= garden.

Visitors to Mount Vernon and the

Gen. Washington, and for sixty-three
years he has been one Of the fixtures
of the Washington homestead. Except
for about two years service in the
Union army this man since 1S41 has
been a constant and faithful servant
about the spot which is dear to the
heart Of every American. After the
Mount Vernon estate passed into the
hands of the present owners, Parker
was designated to watch the tomb,
and during all these years he has kept
this vigil as faithfully as the virgins

Agreed With His CrOss-Examiner.

Mr.. James Hyde, once a lawyer in a
small town on Long Island, tells a
good story about himself. He says: u,
ut was when I used to practice law
in a little town near the center of the
state. A farmer had one of his neigh
bors arrested for stealing ducks and 1
was employed by the accused to en-
deavor to convince the court that such
was not the case. The plaintiff was
positive that his neighbor was guilty
because he had seen the ducks in the
defendants yard.
How do you know they are your
ducks? I asked.
%, I should know my own ducks
anywhere" replied the farmer; and he
gave a description Of their various Pc
culiarities whereby he could readily
distinguish them from others.
why, said I. those ducks can't be
Of such rare breed! l have sec some

Property Rights Among Birds.
Birds and other creatures apportion
the earth among themselves just about
as man does. A bear has boundaries
beyond which his fellow bear does not
trespass with impupity-the Wild rah-
bit you see on your lawn in the moon-
light Is the same little innocent crea-
ture you have been seeing every night
all the summer time-and ven the
robin that gathers the early worm
for his breakfast from your garden,
will show fight when another comes
narauding on his preserve. Nor does
this last a year only, for there Is good
evidence that the same bird will come
back to the claim it staked of the
year previous.-Meehan's Monthly for

Charcoal For Corn-Fed Hogs.

Charcoal For COrn-Fed Hogs.
A diet wholly of corn is very hard
to digest. If food does not digest in the
stomach 1t must sour, for it's tempera-
ture Is always at SO deg, which is ex-
treme heat for a summer day. When
souring of the stomach occurs, it is
remedied by feeding charcoal. This is
not, however, a permanent remedy.
The charcoal is cnrbonacecus, and
therefore the larger part of it is like
the corn. IT is the potash mixed with
1t that corrects the acidity. But the bet
ter way is not to let the sto. mach get
Feed eve the fattening hogs

BRAND THE CLAIM AS FALSE.

Worlds Fair Ofacials Expose q Pretender
to an Award.
Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 24.-One Of the
odd results Of the Worlds Fair is the
claim now made to awards by some
who were not even exhibitors. Off,
Gals of the Exposition have not as yet
taken final action in the matter, be-
lieving the quick wit Of the people
will detect the spurious claims. Bet
to the case of a Sew York baking
powder, that has been widely adver.
Using an award, the attention of the
Chief of Awards Of Agriculture, has
been directed. He brands the claim of
this pretender as false, declaring
sNeither the records Of this depart
ment, nor the official catalogue Of the
Worlds Columbian Exposition, show
that this New York company was not
exhibitor; consequently it could not
have received an award at the Worlds
Fair"
Those who fairly o the honors at
the Fair seem disposed to treat this
fraud as any other fraud should be
treated. The price, Baking Powder
Company, Of Chicago, having receiv-
ed the highest award, say they are
convinced their claims, and those OF
all other holders of rightful honors,
will be fully indicated by the public.

Teaching a Calf to Drink.

There are just two things required
In teaching Il calf how to drink; the
first is a little common sense, the Sec
ond is patience. The common sense
comes in when you consider that it's
nature is to look up for it's food sup
ply. and il you touch the top Of it's
head Or nose you must expect it's ten
dency will be to follow up that di-
rection to find what it is after. Don't
think a calf Il day or two old can have
a great amount Of experience, SO don't
expect to show very much reasoning
power. You must do that for them.
When your patience begins to waver,
just ask yourself how much more you
knew when you were at the calf's age,
and it may help you to credit the calf
with a little sense and enable you to
overlook a good deal that you might
otherwise attribute to pure cussed-
ness.
