Sad Termination to a Career
That Promised Great Things
When at Its Height.

The death of Orestes Cleveland re
moves from Jersey City the most pic
turesque figure. perhaps. who has ever
been numbered among its inhabitants, a
figure of wonderful intellectual potency,
a figure tragic in the life-faiure which
it represents.
With the grasp of a statesman, Mr..
Cleveland's career, with one brief in
terval, was limited to local activity. With
powers which ought to have made him
powerful and famous, he achieved only
a narrow reputation and died entirely
shorn of influence in public affairs. Start
ing in life without any academic advant-
age. he became a scholar, a thinker, a
man of polish and refinement, He had a
high capacity for letters as well as for
politics; but all went 10 wreck together
in the downfall of Ill balanced ambitions
Orestes was born on farm which his
father owned in Schenectady bounty
New York, ON March O. 1929. His earliest
years were spent there, too, and all the
education he had was that of the district
school His first advance towards a
broader life was made in his fifteenth
year, when he was sent to New York
and placed in store as an errand boy
1t was not thought by his parents that
ne had robust enough health to work
on a farm, but they thought he might
amount to something in business life
This is the sketch given of him as he
was when he reached New York, 'a slen-
der boy. in poor health brought up. among
Quakers of abstemious and retiring
habits with little access to books, and
with painful consciousness of his own
shortcomings, he had little or no COM
panionship after his arrival in the city,"
He devoted his earnings to educating
himself. He lived much alone, and seems
to have been habitually melancholy.
At this time he fell in with William
A. Whitbeck, then just graduated from
Union College. who was afterwards well
known in New York City. He was taken

HIS WAY OF WINDING BABY.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 81, 1885,
Leonard Thornton, p years of age, was
left at home by his sister last evening to
care for the baby. A few moments after
she left the house pistol shot was
heard, and moment later Thornton
came out on the street, holding his hand
on his throat while blood saturated his
shirt and ran down his limbs. Friends
called to him, but he ran up an alley then
back to the street and entered the public
room at the Illinois House where he
threw himself into a chair. There was a
gaping wound in his neck and the blood

used such clamps, but as far as I know
they use pegs, strings and other devices

dance of wire suitable for making clamps

baling hay. The clamps should be just
large enough to go over the outside of
the frames from top to bottom. AS soon
as the combs are stuck by the bees the
clamps can be taken off and used again.

sixteen feet. He inquired how many
fowls we consider the proper number
for each apartment. We informed him
that we believed the best results would
be obtained by allowing plenty of room,
and that twenty fowls would not be too
many. He promptly replied that he
based his estimate on forty or fifty fowls
and could not possibly reduce the num-
Der, as his capital was limited, and he
must have the number of fowls for which
he had estimated. Filling poultry
house with hens and crowding them to-
gether will not conduce to egg produc-
ton. 1t is not the one with the largest
fiocks who derives the best results, but
the one who manages properly. Food
may be given bountifully and literally,
but it will not make the hens lay if the
other conditions e not observed. 1t
requires more capital to provide pl- nty
of room for flock, but the capital will
be better invested than if buildings are
used in which the hens are too numer-
Gus and in which they do not thrive.

Hens i'll Confinement.

When the hens have their liberty they
will not only have more exercise, but
also secure portion of their food. The
point will be to learn how not to feed:
that is, how to avoid giving too much.
Poultry-men are usually kind to their
hens when they take an interest and
pleasure in poultry, and cannot resist
the temptation to feed them more than
should be given, and they fail to make
a distinction between hens in confine-
ment and those having range. By OBJ
serving the Rock it will be easy to judge
of the requirements of the hens. II
they should have been able to pick up
a large share of food, they will have full
crops. or partially so, and they might
have eaten and digested quite guam
tity during the day, consequently the
meal at night should be light, nothing
being given them In the morning.-Ex-

Too Much on Limited Capital.

Concentrating the capital to small
area, and doing business in manner so
as to secure more than is possible, is a
source of failure to some. What we
mean is that those who build large
poultry-houseS do so upon an estimate
that the houses must accommod ate a
certain mum Der of fowls under all cir
cumstanceS? 1t is seldom that we find
too much house for the fowls, but it is
very common occurrence TO find too
many hens in house. Some poultry
men who pay largely for their expert
ence in the end seem to labor under the
supposition that in order to secure the
greatest number Of eggs they must keep
more hens than they have room for.
The fact is that in many cases one-half
the number Of hens on the space would
produce more eggs and at a much less
expense. This mistake is not confined
to the inexperienced only, for the ten
dency is to keep full house of fowls,
even by those who should know better.
Recently a poultry m presented plan
of a poultry-house and yards which
c)nd3 oi man excellent advantages,
the house being divided into two apart
ments, each apartment being twelve by

Poultry Parasites.


The principal insect pest of the poul-
try Rouse, and the chief cause Of all the
troubles commonly brought about by the
presence of so-called lice, is little red
mite, which is not louise at all, but a
species of red spider. This little pest is
scarcely one-fftieth of an inch long. 1t
has mouth ex, city fitted for sucking
the blood of it's host, and it plies it's vo-
cation lndustrlously. 1t is Of brown
1sh color when not distended with blood,
and has faculty for living weeks and
months without access to it's favorite
food, and being able at the end Of that
time to d. as effective work as ever.
Very often there are millions Of these
lice, or spiders, in the poultry house be-
fore the owner suspects their presence.
Their eggs are very minute, and are pro-
duced in such numbers that when the
insects are thick these eggs will look
like fine. white dust along the edges of
era cks and crevices.
The best time to fight lice IS during
the winter, when they are dormant.
The larger sorts can be killed with in
sect powder if it is sprinkled among the
plumage of the fowls. The insects that
produce scaly legs can be killed by
greasing the shanks thoroughly with
any kind of vegetable or animal oil.
This should be rubbed into the legs
thoroughly, and worked down until it
gets under the scales, where it will reach
the insects and kill them.
For the red mites heroic measures
are necessary If they are present in any
considerable numbers. The perches
and all nest boxes or other inside furnish
ings should be removed, and then the
whole inside of the house should be
drenched with boiling hot water, after
which 1t is good plan to paint the in
side with kerosene, and then thoroughly
whitewash the house inside and out.
The perches, nest boxes, ETC., should be
treated in the same way before being
replaced.
Two or three such treatments will.
about destroy The whole brood, as they
only commit their depredations at night,
retiring into hiding during the day.
Lice and mites are the curse Of poultry
keepers, and only radical measures will
keep them down.-Farm and Fireside

Bradstreet's OF Saturday said:-
General trade throughout the county
remains quiet, wholesale merchants con-

of general merchandise is almost Of a
hand-to. mouth character. AT larger
eastern centers travellers are preparing
to start out, but unfavorable features
in recent weeks with respect to cotton
and wooden and steel and iron indus,
tries show no change. Collections in
most directions continue unsatisfactory.
Exports of wheat (hour included as

bushels two years ago, and 1885, 600

whole, fairly satisfactory. The total
earnings of 116 roads, with $4,000
miles of track, aggregated $50, S51, 900
in April, gain of So per cent over
April, 1895, which month, in turn,
showed an increase of 40 per cent over
April, 1894. For four months this
year gross earnings show an increase
of 8 per cent over 1895, following an
increase in 1895 over 1894 of nearly

with a total of 265 business failures
throughoutthe United States this week,
against 267 last week and 2l0 in the

The prolongation of the waiting sea-
