"Reminiscences of Oliver Wendell Holmes
When Oliver Wendell Holmes was in
England in 1886 he found himself on one
occasion at ''erush" in London among
great mass of people, including some
royal personages. He sat quietly in cor
ner, but presently, feeling little faint,
and observing refreshments in the dis
lance, he turned to an elderly person
age standing near, whom he supposed
to be- butler or something of that
kind, and asked for harmless bever-
age. The supposed servant brought
this with great alacrity, and remarked:
i am very glad to meet you, DR..
Holmes" The ''Autocrat of the Break
last Table" was a little taken aback, and
the stranger added: Il am Prince Chris
tlan." Dear me-" said Holmes, alive at
once to the joke, Il have not had much
acquaintance with princes, and, do you
know, l took you for waiter!'' At
this Prince Christian went off into a
burst of merriment. "Where is NV
wife?'' he said. 81 must tell her this.
She admires you immensely" Off went
Prince Christian to fetch the princess.

was soon the center of a circle of row.

A NEGLECTED FRUIT,

In Italy the American Pawpaw Is Cu,ti-
waited with Success.
One of the most luscious wild fruits
found anywhere in the world grows in
all The southern states and in all those
that are Immediately north OF the Ohio
river. 1t is also found in some parts
OF Michigan and Iowa. 1t resembles
the banana, but is sweeter and more
juicy. The trees that produce this
fruit are small, but extremely beauti-
full. Their trunks are smooth, their
branches graceful and their foliape
peculiar and attractive AS a lawn
tree it has few superiors. The trees
are easily raised from seed, grow rap
idly, need no cultivation, are pretty
and productive. So far as reported
they are not liable to disease or the at
tacks of insects. The fruit is known
as the pawpaw and is occasionally seen
in this market. Had it been discovered
in China or New Zealand it would have
been brought over to this country and
much ado made over it. But as it is a
native American product no one seems
to think it is worthy of cultivation. It
was introduced into Italy few wears
ago and is regarded as a great acces-
sion to the valuable fruits produced
there. 1t is extensively cultivated and
is known as the American fruit

AN EXPENSIVE CURL,
Origin of a Story Attributed to TWENTY
Handsome Women.

Handsome Women.
Lady Harriet D'Orsay was really, &C.
cording to Mr.. Sala, in his reminis.
cences published recently, the heroine
OF story which has been told in al
least twenty forms of twenty different
ladies' of fashion. She was presiding
at stall at a vente de charlie, OF
bazaar, held in aid of the fund of some
asylum or another, when there came
up the duke of Orleans, son and heir Of
King Louis Philippe. The duke, after
some polite small talk, began to extol
the beauty of her hair, and, indeed
her Henrietta Marie couture had never
looked glossier and softer than it did
this day.
"Oh!" said his royal highness, eff ]
could only possess one of those en-.
chanting ringlets!''
'How much would monseigneur give
for one?' asked Lady Harriet, gravely:
five thousand francs?"
Five thousand francs!'' repeated the
duke; "a mere bagatelle."
six thousand francs?"
Anything SO charming a lady chose
to ask"
Il will not be extortionate," pursued
Lady Harriet; 1--WE will say five thou
sand"
And then she very composedly pro-
duced dainty little pair of scissors,
shipped off the adorable Henrietta
Maria ringlet. wrapped it in silver
paper and handed it with dignity to
the duke. His royal highness looked
very straight down his nose, and, re-
turning Lady Harrlet's salute, stalked
somewhat gloomily away. But his
privy purse duly forwarded the money
next day.-Philadelphia Press.

Postcffice Robbery.

Sometime last February the post
Office at Cooper, short distance north
of this city WAS entered and robbed
Among the articles stolen were S32
worth of overdue stamps. A United
States deputy has been at work on the
case ever since, and it was not until
the other day that clue was obtained.
A number of letters have been mailed
at Forrest City and Wynne, on which
were placed overdue stamps. OF
course they were sent to the deadletter
office, and returned to the writers.
1t coming to the notice of the authori-
ties. the names of the writers of these
letters were forwarded to the deputy,
and it resulted III the arrest of white
man named Hugh England, i'm the
neighborhood of Cooper. The deputy
brought him to Forrest City Saturday,
and confined him in Jail until Sunday,
when he was conveyed to Helena, to
await investigation. England is about
18 years old. and claims to have bought
the stamps from another person, who
has so far eluded arrest.

He read the Bland act of

changes. He read the Bland act of
1878 Which was compromise for free
coinage and stated that Carlisle made
speech upon that bill which attracted
the attention OF the civilized world.
The Bland act reads as follows:
"Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives, of the Uni
ted States of America in Congress As
sembled, That there shall be coined. at
the several minis of the United States,
silver dollars of the weight of four hun
dred and twelve and a half grains troy
OF standard silver. as provided i'm the
act of january eighteenth, eighteen
hundred thirty-seven, on which shall
be the devices and superscriptions pro-
vided by said act ; which coins together
with all silver dollars heretofore coined
by the United States of like weight and
fineness, shall be legal tender at their
nominal value, for all debts and dues
public and private"
IT seemed strange that i'm recent
speech in Kentucky Mr.. Carlisle had
declared that he never had been in
favor of free coinage of silver. Mr..
Young also devoted considerable at
tention to your uncle Josiah. He said
that Josiah was his baby, that he had
frequently warned Mr.. Carmack to
keep hands off of Josiah; that while
Josiah needed spanking, and that hard,
he was his meat and he proposed to do
the spanking himself.
Mr.. Young touched upon the ques-
ton, What is our unit of value? He
read the following, which is our first
coinage law. and was passed in 1892:
"DottarS or units, each to be of the
value of a Spanish milled dollar AS
the same is now current, and to con-
| tain three hundred and seventy one
grains and four-sixteenth parts of
grain OF pure, or four hundred and
sixteen grains OF standard silver"
This fixed the unit and regulated the
weight of gold coin ,and fractional silver.
The law is PLAIN and needed no further
argument OF comment.

personally, for Mr.. Carlisle. Mr.. Young
denounced him as the most contempt
ible public character in the United
States.
After an earnest, friendly appeal to
the populists who had strayed away
from the democratic party, to return
thereto, pointing out the hopelessness
of their organization into a new
party, and that they could accomplish
nothing between the upper and neither
millstones, he closed. amid great ap-
plause.
II. j. Williams then stepped forward
and offered several stirring silver reso-
lutions, which were unanimously
adopted.
1t was then announced that the pro-
gramme was exhausted aud the crow d
departed, each one feeling that he had
learned many valuable points of infor-
nation, that he had listened to an in.
tellectual treat, that he was glad to
have been there, and il the Lord was
willing he would work and vote from
now until November 1896 for the tri-
umph of this great cause.

HOW TO BUY a HORSE.

Words of the Seller.

BE Careful, and Place No Faith in the
Words of the Seller.
An old horseman says in the Scien-
tific American: If you want 20 buy a
horse, don't believe your own brother.
Take no mans word for it. Your eye
is your market. Don't buy a horse in
harness. Unhitch him and take every
thing off but his halter, and lead him
around. 1.-The has a corn or is stiff, or
has any failing, you can see it. Let
him go himself a way, and if he walks
right into anything, you know that he
is blind. No matter how clear and
bright his eyes are, he can't see any
more than a bat. Back him, too. Some
horses show their weaknesses or tricks
in that way when they don't in any
other. But. be as smart as you can,
you'll get caught sometimes. Even
the expert gets stuck. A horse may
look ever SO nice and go a great pace,
and yet have fits. There isn't a man
who could tell it until something hap
pens. Or he may have a weak oack
Give him the whip and off he goes for
a mile two, then AL of a sudden he
stops on the road. After a rest he starts
again, but he soon stops for good,
and nothing but a derrick can
start him The weak points about a
horse can better be discovered while
standing than while moving. If he is
sound, he will stand firmly and square
ly on his limbs without moving them.
with legs plumb and naturally poised;
or if the foot is taken from the ground,
and the weight taken from it, disease
may be suspected, or, at least, tender
ness, which is the precursor of disease.
If a horse stands with his feet spread
apart or straddles with his hind legs,
there is a weakness in his loins and
the kidneys are d~isordered. Heavy
pulling bends the knees. Blush,
milky cast eyes in horses indicate moon
blindness or something else. A bad
tempered one keeps his ears thrown
back; a stumbling horse has blemished
knees. When the skin is rough and
harsh and does not move easily to the
touch, the horse is a heavy eater and
digestion bad. Never buy a horse
whose breathing organs are at all
impaired. Place your ear at the heart,
and if a wheeling sound is heard, it is
an indication Of trouble.

Examine Your Stock OF seeds.

Examine your stock Of seeds; throw
out all that are of doubtful utility.
The vitality of seeds is soon ascer-
tanned by planting a few in a box, in
kitchen or greenhouse. If they fail
to sprout promptly, or To give strong
plants, throw them aw&y. Also throw
away all seeds, no matter how fresh,
if you are in doubt abuut the variety.
Make out a list of ali good seeds on
hand, and another one of seeds needed
for next season. Then make out
your orders and send at once to your
favorite scotsman, or the one whom
you think will do rest by you. AL
ways order early, to be sure of having
the seeds on hand when you want to
plant them. Amateurs want variety;

standard sorts most popular in their
markets. American Gardening.

birch, the magnolias and the tulip
tree, three species of catalpa, several
kinds of ash. the different elms, the
poplars and the willows. Intelligent
ly grouped together on the grounds,
no observing person could fail, after
a time, to know more of all these diff
ferent trees than many others do in a
whole life time.
The same mode of planting might
with great propriety be adopted for
the larger and m~edium-siZed hardy
shrubs. Each of the following en-
braces many species and varieties:
Cydonia, Spiraa, Syringa, Diervilla,
Cornus, Deutzia, Philadelphus and
others. These are commonly planted
irregularly and in II promiscuous man
ner, but III groups composed of the
several allied species they would pos
sess great additional interest as we'll
as instructive value.
BY way of Illustration we give a
simple plan of grounds laid out and
planted in the proposed. The
taller trees are of course planted in
the rear or more remote portions of
the larger grounds; and for small
places shrubs only would be used, as
occupying less room, admitting nearer
planting and as not growing beyond
reach. Such climbing shrubs as the
several species of Ampelopsis, Akebia,
Lonicera. Menispermum and Bignonia
might well occupy the more remote
and secluded portions of the grounds.
In this plan, when there is enough
open lawn to render visible to the
view at one or more different points,
the different paintings, the medium
and larger groups OF shrubs are placed
towards the front of the dwelling on
the nearer sides and the trees in the
more remote portions. The position
of the evergreens, shown by the darker
shades, may be governed by circum,
stances, and in some cases they will
be found of value as partial screens
from prevailing winter winds. -Coun.

How to Heat Them Successfully and Eco
pomically with OIL.
The plan submitted herewith is given
as a suggestion for those whose green
houses are exceedingly small; perhaps,
indeed, being but a glass room built on
to the side of the dwelling house. 1t
is well demonstrated, we think, that
the heating of such plant rooms with
oil stoves is entirely practicable. 1t re-
mains then only to find the best method
for utilizing all the heat produced by
these little stoves, aud for distributing
it evenly to all parts of the room. The
plan here figured calls for a brickwork
Enclosure for the oil stove, with a
sheet-iron tank placed or top of it, in
which the air is heated, though the
lamp Enclosure and the tank may be
both of sheet iron, If desired. The
hot-air tank has a shelf for a broad
water pan, over which the heated air
must pass to reach the inclined hot-air
pipe that u m beneath the benches.

ABOUT TREE PLANTING.

How an Excellent Landscape Effect May
BE Produced.
In planting ornamental grounds for
landscape effect, much interest as well
as instruction may be impaired by Civ
ing attention to natural affinities
among the trees and Shrubs, as well as
to the general pleasing effect. A
maple tree, for example, is a hand
some ornament as it stands by itself;
but if a well-arrayed group of the sew
eral species be placed together, not
only a pleasing effect is produced as a
portion of the landscape, but a valu-
able lesson is taught by presenting to-
gether the distinctive characteristics
of each species. The owner, visitor,
or the young members Of the family,
without any special effort or hard
study, will easily become acquainted
with these several species; and this
mode of planting, carried through the
various kinds of ornamental trees, be-
IN valuable in the way of practical
education. 1t will be better than
merely studying the printed descrip-
tions. Among these natural group
ings we may place the many species
of American oaks, the several kinds OF

OIL HEATING ARRANGEMENT.


This pipe has small openings at regu.
lar intervals, through which the hot
air escapes. An opening at the bot
tom of the tank admits the cooler air
farther below the benches, which is
heated aud carried up the pipe to be
distributed again. A small pipe passes
from the lamp chamber up through
the hot-air tank and up through the
roof, SO that 40 odor of combustion of
kerosene oil remains in the green
house. The tank and pipes can be had
at small cost of any tinsmith. The
size, and whether more than one such
heating apparatus shall be used, de-
ponds upon the size of the room to be
heated and the degree of cold ex-
perienced in winter. 1t will probably
be advisable to have an apparatus of
this sort at each side, SO that each of
the side benches may have a pipe be-
meath ii. Only a hig h-grade oil should
be used, and the Enclosure around the
lamp should be secure Of course,
there must be a small opening at the
bottom of the lamp chamber to admit
sufficient air for combustion. Nv Don

For MuIchinC Strawberries.

Corn stalks cut to one or one and a
half inches in length serve a good pur-
pose for mulching strawberry plants,
as il is only necessary to have a cover
ing of one thickness of stalks to make
a good protection. These small pieces
of stalks may be placed closely around
the plant by the use Of a common
field rake, whereas with straw, hay or
uncut stalks the covering must be
done by hand, which is a tedious oper-
alton. After fruiting the cut stalks
can readily be hoed in the soil about
the plants, which is not the case with
hay, straw aud long stuff.
