Decoration Day.

Tho custom OF decorating the graves
OF the dead with flowers, grew out of
the smoke and carnage of the civil
war. When peace came, the victor
and the vanquished cherished the
memories OF their fallen comrades and
and have since perpetuated them by
strewing flowing the emblems OF i'm
mortality, on their graves.
Out OF this beautiful custom, in
augurated by the Grand Army of the
Republic, has grown the observance
OF May 30th. Originally intended as
Grand Army day it has grown be-
yond that limit and is now observed
by the people generally rs day to be

n few days ago and in an interview
with reporter OF the Road, in repl,
to the question OF what he thought
was the best course to pursue b!
friends of silver in 1896 he said.
~There is bnt one sensible or pa
triotic thing left to do, and the sooner

ton the better it will be all around
We have passed beyond tho period Of

honorable to all and it is the only
practicable course left. For the sill.

polled 100000 votes for our ticket
1t is IN evidence OF political imbocilty
for any man to suppose for moment
that any ono party opposed to the
Republican party can muster such u
force single handed and alone. Tho
head OF the ticket should be some
man OF Democratic antecedents like
,Sibley, who with drawn sword, hns
stepped out Of his party and declared

equally brave, and as pronounced for

shows that the well-bred and well-fed

When American sheep-breeders and
raisers follow the example of England
and breed for mutton the sheep will
again become valuable and the BUSH
ness profitable. The people will buy
good mutton, while the thin carcass of
the wool breeds will beg for pur chaser
or sell for song.
In a majority of cases the breed
ing sows are kept too fat, and especial
ly when the farmer is commencing
with one or more sows of some of the
better breeds. When they are allowed
to get too fat during CESSATION, they
will not bear either so large or as
healthy pigs as if only kept in good

THE TOPSEY OF PLANTS.
Trufiies Grow without Roots in the Vicinity
of Oak Trees.

| Truffies Grow without Roots in the Vicinity
of Oak Trees.
Concerning truffles there is much
mystery. Where do they come from
II 'spect they growed," Topscy might
have said of them; but nobody knows
exactly how they do grow. They have
not any root, and no one can tell where
they will be found, except that ex-
perience has taught that, as a rule,
they are most plentiful in the vicinity
of oak trees. There in the ground, a
few inches below the surface, lie these
corrugated balls, emitting an odor
which is rather sickly and overpower-
ing. Pigs and dogs have great Atm
ity for this scent, and formerly pigs
were used to direct the seekers after
tuffies to their place of concealment.
Dogs in these times are solely en-
ployed in Perigord, whence we derive
the bulk of our supplies. Some are to
be found in England, in Hampshire;
but these are described as having a
musty taste, and are without the
rich and delicate flavor which
makes the French truffie dear to
the heart of the chef. To indulge
one > dppeulJe LOT tTuuleS, ulUcr inc
taste for them has been acquired, is
very expensive luxury. They require
to be well selected. Some may be as
small as a nut, and some may weigh
fully pound, but the best ones, says
M. Benoist, who has specially studied
them, average or s to a pound. In
this country the consumption is not so
large; but it suddenly expands at
Christmas time, and it is possible that
when the supply is short, as it some
times is, picked truffles may be worth
sos per pound. At present, the market
price is 12s per pound in France, and as
Christmas approaches it may rise to 1ss
or Ell. AS truffies soon waste and go
bad, it is obvious that it is specula-
tive article, unless the demand is regu-
lar, as it is just now for havoring the
meat of stuffed turkeys, capons, pleas
ants or quail. The French have learned
to appreciate these dainties very high
ly, and the skilled cook can in illimita-
BILE dishes make effective use of them,
to the delight of the gourmet, if not of
the gourmand, or glutton. In Paris
more truffies are used in one day than
would suffice the needs of all England
for two months, served though they be
as vegetables, or with hot or cold
dishes. -London Telegraph.

1t Has Too Much Bulk for the Amount of

correspondent inquiries: Can you
give me any idea of the nutritive value
of sugar cane-tropical-and its fat
tening qualities? 1t has been suggest
e.; that by the use of alfalfa, articholes
and sugar cane, pigs may be profitably
grown while the sugar machinery on
southern plantations takes rest"
The published analyses of sugar cane
are those made with special reference
to its value in the production of sugar.
On page 1886 of Handbook of Expert
ment Station Work" Bulletin No 15),
is given brief table of analyses Of
sugar-cane juice. While these show
an average of about 14.2 per cent. of
solids" in the juice, most of which
consists of sugar and glucose, and
nearly all of which would, in an
analyses with reference to feeding
value, be classed as digestible carbo-
hydrates and recognized as fat-form-
ers, the portions of the cane not in
cluded in these analyses are largely
fiber and indigestible, but they con-
oebii, iiSNSi piNlSoo,
ties of nutritive matter. Sugar cane,
however, is not well adapted for fat
tening hogs, Notwithstanding the
large percentage of hydrocarbons it
contains. The digestive apparatus of
the hog is adapted to concentrated
feeds, which sugar cane is not. It's
value for hog feed would not be great
ly different from that of corn fodder
from which the ears had been re-
moved.
The question then turns on the abili-
ty of alfalfa and articholses to correct
the characteristics of the cane. Green
alfalfa contains little over II per
cent. of digestible solids and nearly ~
per cert. of water Comparing this
with the best of all hog feeds-corn
and wheat-it will be seen that the
latter are far more concentrated feeds
than alfalfa. Thus, corn contains
nearly 80 per cent. of digestible nutri-
tive substances, and wheat is quite
as concentrated. Analyses of ar
tichokes are not at hand, but
they will not be found to
be much richer than the best of the
abundant. OF these, potatoes may 5,
cited, and they contain some 16 or L
per cent. of digestible nutrients.
1t will thus be seen that a ration
composed of the three articles named
in whatever relative proportions, mus

hogs could eat enough of them t.

desirable results. Any of the three i.

HUNGRY ON AN OCEAN LINER.
Didn't Know What "Brcakfast" Meant
and So Cos Nothing to Eat.

Didn't Know What BREAK fast" Meant
and So Cos Nothing to Eat.
When a man who is on board big
ocean-going steamship with his fare
paid for all the service Of first cabin
goes without eating for twenty-four
hours, it is usually because he is sea-
sick. But that was not the case with
Weber. Weber, after serving his full
time in the German army, decided to
do as thousands of his countrymen had
done and come to America. He thought
New Orleans would be a nice place to
make his home. But there were no
steamers leaving German ports for
New Orleans. SO Weber decided to
buy ticket for New York and then to
re-emloark for the southern port. He
landed in New York all right and
found that his boat for the south was
to leave the same night. The task of
getting his baggage through the
customhouse, purchasing his ticket,
and getting aboard the second
boat kept him so busy that he had
no time to get anything to eat. AS
soldier he knew how to fast and decid
lie sought his state-room and went
sound to sleep. He was awakened in
the morning by the sound, as he called
it, of a tom-tom beaten with considera-
bic force. Opening the state-room
door Weber looked out and saw big
negro walking down the corridor, beat
ing gong and calling in loud tones:
breakfast Breakfast"
Now Weber knew half dozen CONT
mental languages, but he did not know
English. Having heard that Amer
leans were half-savage race and feel
ing by the rolling of the ship that she
was out at sea, he thought that the
negro and the gong were part
of some propitiatory rite to Nep-
tune. But the word breakfast" puz-
zled him and he determined Ito find
what it meant. Getting out his die
tionary Weber looked for breakfast.
1t was an hour before he found tho
right word and discovered its mean
ing. Then he made hasty toilet and
rushed to the dining-room, only to
find the door closed and breakfast over.
The morning passed. He had had
|
before and was getting decidedly hum
cry. He did not want to be cheated
again, and getting out his German die
tionary learned the English equiva-
Tents for all the words he could think
of that had anything to do with eating.
At eleven o'clock the negro and the
gong again appeared. This time the
negro was shouting Lunch! lunchr'
Lunch" was not in Weber's CASTRO
nomical vocabulary, and for a time he
did not regard the summons as having
anything to do with the dining-room.
Then he searched his dictionary; il
was small one and did not contain
the word. An hour was spent in the
search. Then he reasoned that if the
negro and the gong meant something
to eat the first time they appeared il
was probable they meant the same or
the second occasion. So he hurried of
to the dining-room. The doors were
just being closed when he got there.
Determined not to be cheated again
Weber decided to watch the negro fol

Do You Wish
the Finest Bread
and Cake?

1t is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is
the purest and strongest of all the baking powders.
The purest baking powder makes the finest, sweet
est, delicious food. The strongest baking pow
der makes the lightest food.
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestible and wholesome
food.
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble?
Avoid all baking powders sold with gift
or prize, or at lower price than the Royal,
as they invariably contain alum, lime or sui
phuric acid and render the food unwholesome
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining accept any substitute for the
Royal which is absolutely pure.
