1T the Age of 90 Mr.. Coz Renews His
Youth and May Live 90 Years More.

Youth and May Live 30 Years More.
At the age Of 90 George W. Golf. who
lives near Punta Gorda, Fla. has grown
young again. Up toa year ago Mr.. Golf
was blind, partially deaf and bald and
time, however, he suddenly recovered
his eyesight and hearing, and his hair
began to grow. Now Mr.. Golf hears
and sees as we'll rs he ever did, and his
head is covered with a growth Of black
hair. As his cveslght strengthened and
his hair grew a marked change occurred
i'll Mr.. COTS physical condition, and
from being a decrepit man, hardly able
to walk, he became as strong and active
as q youth Of 20 years. The wrinkles
ON his skin disappeared, and he now
looks fresh and youthful.
The case has puzzled the physicians.
They say the man is entirely rcjuvenat-
ed and may live 90 years longer. They
assert that the old tissues have been re-
placed by ncw, and that physically Mr..
Goff is not more than 20 years old. So
youthful did Mr.. Golf feel that last
week he married a handsome young
girl. To look at the couple one would
never suspect that there was any diff
ference in their ages, although the
groom is 20 years older than his bride.
Mr.. Golf was born in Georgia III
1905. He fought i'll the Indian war I'M,
der Andrew jackson and remembers Old
Hickory we'll. He also was in the Mex.
lean and civil wars and was wounded
at the battle Of Buena Nista.-St. Louis

Inhabitants Gather in the Towns and
Trade Everything.
A travelling man thus describes a
'horse-swapping day" in Tennessee:
Zone of the men was mounted on a
rawboned dapple gray, while the other
nag was of deep yellow and looked
much like a living, moving hatrack.
One was leading mule and the other
an old steed that looked like broken
down car horse. Presently the man on
The yellow horse said to the other:
'Well?' The answer was, Well" Talk,
You talk Well, what'll you do?'
Swap How'll you swap? Horse and
horse After dickering for some time a
trade was effected and one Of them got
dollar to boot. We wandered about
over the place and covered about an
acre and half until we grew tired and
then returned to the train. On the way
back We overheard two Of the strang-
ers talking. One Of these said he was
three jacknives and 1925 in money
ahead. We were told that these swap
ping days are held once a month. The
men meet at this place and swap any
thing from jackknife to farm. but
trading in horses is the favorite fancy
with them" ."-Exchange.

Thayers Berry Bulletin for May, 1898.
The fruit and vegetable garden re-
Cuire richest soils and best culture.
OF all farm work it pays best for
work done, and suffers most from neg
lect.
Cultivate often. It warns tho soil
in early spring. 1t allows even light
rains to penetrate the soil and retains
the moisture for use in summer.
Frequent cultivation stimulates an
early. vigorous growth. The roots
strike deep into the mellow soil, and
the ordinary drouth is harmless.
Remove the winter mulch from
strawberries. Cultivate between the
rows. Stir the ground around each
plant, replace the mulch, and large ber-
ries, and lots of them, may be ex-
pected.
Cultivated berries are less liable to
injury by frost or drouth.
Most fruit gardens are deficient in
potash. An application nf wood ashes
will supply this want and is especially
valuable for light sandy soils.
In pruning the raspberry and black
berry, cut off the long slender laterals,
forming an even, well rounded bush.
Remove all small weak canes from the
hill.
Severe pruning of laterals will not
only improve size and quality of fruit,
but greatly increase the yield.
If any plants newly set fail to live,
put others in their places at once.
This is especially necessary in the
bush fruits which are to remain sew
eIal years.
Much labor and profit is often lost
by this neglect.
Currant and gooseberry bushes are
often injured by the borer. The egg
is laid about June 1st. When hatched,

WHY DOESN'T 1T STOP?
A Wheel That Seems to Turn Of
Itself.

A Wheel That Seems to Turn Of
1t goes till it is stopped. There is in
the window of store on Post street,
between Montgomery and kearney,
small apparatus constructed almost en-
tirely of glass that is attracting great
deal Of attention, and there is not one
who looks at it but exclaims: "Perpetu-
al notion The inventor of the ap-
paratus is c. F. A. Sturts. who is
practical matchmaker. Il do not call it
perpetual notion" he said yesterday:
lit is only an illustration Of scientific
problem. but it is as near as perpetual
motion will ever be reached. As you can
see, he apparatus rests on glass up
rights. 1t is in the shape of hub with
eight arms or spokes, as you might term
them. The whole is one piece of glass;
the arms, which are hollow cylinders,
are part Of the hub. The outer ends
Of the cylinders are solid, but at the
inner end there is a small opening. In
each cylinder there are two highly
polished steel balls quarter Of an inch
in diameter, as round as human inge-
nuity can make them. and each of the
same exact weight. The shaft which
rests upon the upright is also part of
the wheel. When the wheel had been
constructed and the balls put in place
the air was extracted. just as the air
is extracted from an electric light bulb.
The reason of this was to allow the
little balls to roll in the cylinders with
out resistance. The little machine was
set perfectly level and allowed to turn.
The principle is gravity, and the wheel
will keep on running until I stop it,"
said Mr.. Sturts to the San Francisco
Call representative. 81 will add that it
has no power, but just enough to move
itself, and that it is not moved by cleo
tricity, magnetism or any other outside
force"

A new ald destructive bark louise
has appeared among the peach orchards
of the Atlantic states. In the illustra-
tion that accompanys this article is
shown section of peach tree with the
above mentioned lice packed closely
around it. They suck the juices from
the bark and thus weaken and kill the
trees.
Not till three years ago was this
species recognized to be new.
At that time on the grounds of the
department of agriculture at Washing
ton, some of the Seeding peaches were
found to be badly damaged. Tie youn6
and dry. An investigation showed
that the insect was the ''Diaspis lana
tus," first described as found in ia
maica. 1t may have been imported
from the West Indies, In Jamaica It
feeds upon the grape, cedar, peach, cot
ton and number of other plants. The
officers of the department of agricul-
ture have been trying to find out how
widely scattered the species is over the
globe, and whether it feeds on one plant
or on several. They have found it
widely scattered. Worst of all they
have found that it feeds upon great
variety of plants. For this reason it is
regarded as especially dangerous, and
it will doubtless be very difficult to
stamp it out. or to prevent it's re-intro-
duction when once it is stamped out.
In the United States, however, 1t
is found to feed upon only one or two
kinds of food. 1t can stand our win

Monongahela mine We're widely exaa-
stories have been sent over the cOun-
try. The exact facts are that at 1896
o'clock this afternoon a Pole carelessly
ignited a can of powder in mine No.
of the Monongahela Coal and Coax
company. and terrific explosion fol-
lowed. The accident occurred in the
main course leading to mine No. 2.
about 500 feet from the mouth of mine
No. 4, and the smoke was thus driven
through the different parts of the mine,
suffocating four miners. Quite a num-
ber Of others We're seriously but not
fatally effected by the smoke. The
names of the dead are:

WOMEN PAINTERS OF PARIS.

Rosa Bonheur the First to Win a Salon
Medal-Other Great Artists.
Mile. Rosa Bonheur's first salon
medal, won in 1S45, marked the open
ing of the gates to a veritable army OF
her countrywomen, says Munsey's Mag
azine. There are today in Paris sever
al hundred lady painters mere
amateurs or students, but artists whose
work is admitted to the salons and who
carry off a respectable share of the
prizes offered there.
Henriette Brown and Nellie Jacque-
mart were among the earlier leaders;
Madeleine Lemaire, Berthe DelOrme,
Nine. de Chatillon and Louise Abbema
are more widely known. Marie Bash
kirtseff made precocious success a
few years ago. and her Meeting
clever study of street boy life-was
purchased by that government for that
goal of the young French painters am
bition, the official collection in the
Luxembourg. Mile. Bashkirtseff's s
death prematurely ended career
esting.
1t is noteworthy that among the lead
ere of the artistic sisterhood of Paris
are several women with whom paint
ing is only pastime. A few years
ago Princess Mathilde took a medal at
the salon; Baroness Nathaniel Roths-
child has been frequent exhibitor;
Sarah Bernhardt has shown both pic
lures and sculptures which have at
tracted marked attention and much
praise, mingled with few ill-natured
queries whether the work was really
the ragedienne's own. 1t is an un-
doubted fact that she has talent, and
that she studied in earnest with Alfred
Stevens.
