married at the age of II to Francis T.
L. Turner and was widow at 20. Thus
bereft of a field at home where her be-
nevolent spirit could appease suffering
and make life more enjoyable, she turn
ed her attention to the work Of benefit
ing her countrymen. Her ancestors had
been soldiers, and the martial spirit she
inherited caused her to begin relief work
for the Federal soldiers when they were
fred upon in the early days of the civil
war i'll Baltimore.
After the war her interest in the sol
der continued, and III 1879 she became
a member OF the Woman's Relief corps,
five years before it became national
body. Her first Office was that of guard,
the most lowly, and her faithful service
in this and more important Offices has
caused the corps to unanimously elect
her to the highest place in its gift. She
is q woman of fine presence and has a
marked executive ability and great force
of character. Like Caesar, she once re-
fused the national presidency upon the
ground that she loved the order better
than she did her own ambition, but at
Louisville recently she was persuaded to
take the place.
Mrs. Hirst enjoys peculiar distino-
ton in these days of third term talk.
She is the only member of the Ladies of
the Grand Army of the Republic that
has ever been twice elected to the office
Of national president. She is a native Of
New York and is the daughter Of G. e.
Drake, who served many years as a
Scotch soldier. Her husband was q
member Of the One Hundred and Tween
ty-fourth infantry. Mrs. Hirst is now a
resident of Louisville, but her name and
her good work are known to soldiers all
over the country. She has probably
given decent burial to more INDECENT
veterans than any other person, and her
purse is always open for the relief Of
any man who fought for the flag. When
tho Louisville Soldiers home was closed
several years ago because of lack of
funds, Mrs. Hirst from her own income
supported 80 of the old soldiers and pre-
vented them from going to the aims
house. She is the mother of six children,
but always finds time to do charitable
work

TRAPS FOR 0RAssHOPPERs.
A Tin Trough with Coal OIL in # Proves
Fatal to Bushels OF the Pests.


Prof Lugger, the state entomologist,
has in operation in the Red river valley
and in Chicago and Pine counties, Min
nesota, 400 hopper dosers." These are
machines about eight feet long and two
feet wide, made on the plan of a dust
pan, OF tin and on three runners on
which they are pulled over the stubb1e
by team of horses. At the rear of
each is a trough the entire length Of
the machine, in which is an inferior
grade Of coal oil, while at the back is
q sheet of canvas. The grasshopper5
jump into the pan to get out of its way.
Those that fall into the kerosene die at
once, while those that are merely
touched by the oil may live two or
three minutes before they succumb to
a sort Of paralysis. The canvas at the
back Of the machine prevents them
from jumping clear over it. 1t costs the
state $3.50 to make each of these ma
chimes. They can be made by any tin
smith and are given to the farmers in
hopper-infested communities in order
to encourage them in getting rid OF tho
pests. Prof. Logger claims that with
his 400 "hopper-doser' he kills off an
average of 500 to 200 bushels of grass
hoppers every day.

Premier Cecil Rhodes recently came
into possession of white rhinoceros.
and has intimated his intention of pre-
senting ii 10 the South African mu-
scum. It is very fine specimen of
class of beasts now nearly extinct. It
measured six feet four inches across
the shoulders, and its long and short
horns are two feet eleven and one-half
inches and eleven and three-quarter
inches respectively. Mr.. Rhodes has
sent the carcass home to be properly
stuffed at his own expense, and the
value of the gift is very considerable.
Baron Rothsehild recently paid s., 900
for white rhinoceros, and the museum
would have been prepared to offer a
similar price had not Mr.. Rhodes come
to the rescue. Mr.. Rhodes rhinoceros
was killed in Mashonaland.

COLUMN OF CRAZY CHINA work was a pill
larlike stand having for its foundation
round tile and christened by the artist 3
column of crazy china. The materials
consist of broken bits of crockery and
china, much putty, gold paint, and, if
not a drain pipe, anything else you like
to ornament. Besides these you will need
8 mallet or a small hammer to break
the already broken pieces, if they prove
too big, and 4 proper putty, or even q
palette knife, to spread the putty and
prepare it for the mosaic of china. 1t is
fortunate, for this purpose, that our
servants are generally great destroyers
Of the material chiefly needed, and any
household can furnish only too much
from its own breakages.
Another phase of the crazy scrap ma
MA includes materials various and pecuI-
lar and varying from broken bottles to
old keys and from half a walnut shell
to old thimhles, buckles, etc. A novelty

Marie of Naples.
Although it cannot be pleasant to be
queen out of job, there is enc thing
about it-none of the ex-queens Of to-
day is in want so far as the comforts
and even the Injuries are concerned,
ave the luxury Of a throne to sit upon.
As this, however, is the one luxury which
Bx-queens are supposed most to desire,
it is likely that more or less unhappi-
ness is now the portion of the seven Eu-
ropean women who were but are not
royalties.
It is not easy to say which of these
women is most interesting. Eugenie,
the ex-empress of the French, has prob
ably had the most romantic and pictur-
esGue career, and probably also she is
most unhappy, since she is utterly with
out kin among reigning families and
mourns the death of son, the prince
imperial, who was killed i'll the Eng
Esh-Zulu war, as we'll as that Of hus-
band. Concerning this son it is stated
that when, driven to desperation by his
mother constant repinings against fate,
he announced his design of going to
fight the Zulus, twoscore young French
men offered to go with him and act as
guard Of honor. This, however, was not
pleasing to the ex-empress, who said her
son must be protected as much but no
