A writer in the Outlook says that
some years ago friend of his wrote
short story which magazine accepted
and paid $50 for. The years went by
and the story still rested snugly in the
safe. Meanwhile the author of the
tale had become an industrious man
OF letters and had achieved some little
reputation. He one day met the edi-
tor, whom he had come to know.
and asked him when he intended to
print that story. The editor replied
that he could not tell, but probably
not in the immediate future. The
writer went home and thought the thing
over, and then asked the editor for
the privilege of buying the story buck,
The editor asserting to this, the au-
thor gave him $50 and received back
his story. He read it over, made a
few minor changes in it, put new
title to it, had it typewritten, and
then sent it back to the editor of the
same magazine from whom he had just
bought it. In short time came o

CULTURE OF GINSENG.

Ginseng has not been successfully
grown under ordinary cultivation. 1t
Is of SO wild nature that when re-
moved from the natural beds in the
woods it refuses to grow, just as some
wild animals refuse to eat in confine-
ment, and starve. 1t may, however,
be propagated by culture in woodland
OF the right kind, that is, with moist
soil, shaded by northern exposure,
and having good depth of black veg
etable soil. 1t grows from cuttings of
the roots with ease, but so far the
sowing of the seed has not been found
successful. 1t may be, however, that
by choosing the right soil and locality,
the seed will grow.-New York Times.

Miss Lillian Bell, the clever Chicago
authoress, prints rather caustic view
of "The Man Under Thirty-Five" in
the Ladies' Home Journal She asserts
that conversation with a man under
thirty-fve ''is impossible, because the
man under thirty-five never con-
verses; he only talks. And your chief
accomplishment, of being good lis
tener, is entirely thrown away on
him, because he does not in the least
care whether you listen or not.
Neither is it of any use for you to
show that he has surprised or shocked
you. He cares not for your approval
or disapproyal. He is utterly indif-
ferent to you, not because you do not
please him, but because he has not
seen you at ALL He knows you are
there in that chair he bows to you in
the street, oh, yesl He knows your
name and where you live. But you
are only an entity 10 him, not an in
dividual. He cares not for your likes
and dislikes, yorr cares, or hopes, or
fears. He only wants you to be pretty
and we'll dressed. Have mind if you
will. He will not know it. Have q
heart and soul They do not con.
cern him. He wants you to be tailor
made. You are a girl to him. That's

A CASE OF MILK FEVER.

The symptoms of milk fever are as
follows: The animal suddenly be-
comes unable to stand, and lies in
great pain, moaning; in short time
the pain increases until the animal
becomes frantic, dashing the head
from side to side, sometimes breaking
the horns, and bruising the face SER
iously. Then stupor occurs. and the
animal lies with the head on the flank,
the neck being stiff aud rigid. 1t oc-
ours about the second day after calv-
ing, and comes on lsuddenly, without
any warning. If the third day after
calving passes without an attack the
cow will escape or recover, but death
usually occurs the third day after the
attack. The treatment is to apply
pounded ice in bags to the head and
neck, to place plenty of soft straw
about the animal, especially about the
head; to give q powerful purgative,
as two pounds of EPSON salts, with
half an ounce of carbonate of ammonia,
and the same of nux vomica, The
body should be covered with sheets
soaked and kept wet with cold water,
the water being permitted to run
under the body. When there is NO
frenzy, the ice to the head is not
needed. As soon as the bowels operate
freely danger is passed. This disease
is most frequent with COWS either in
poor or too high condition, and per-
feet quietness and very light feeding
for few days before the calving will
generally prevent it. For this reason
it is advisable for every dairy to have
retired, half dark, quiet place in
which to keep the COWS for few days
before and three days after caIving.
With moderate feeding before this oc-
currence, and this quietness, this dis
ease very rarely happens. New York

A RETURN MATCH.

contest with the Portland
Athletes.
The chances of seeing the. Multnomah
athletic team perform in this City in Sep
tember or October are good.
Yesterday Leonard Gill, the captain of
the Olympic Club, received telegram
from the secretary of the Muitnomah Ath-
letic Club which stated that the request Of
Gill that the northern athletes visit this
City in September, will be discussed at the
next meeting of the club and If the matter
is given favorable consideration the lovers
of good athletics will have an opportunity
of seeing Talent, the great miller, measure
strides with Dave Brown of the Stanford
University. and Kerrigan, the wonderful
little jumper, clear sticks against Patter-
son OF the Olympic Club.
1t is said that the athletes of the Multi
nomah Club, who anticipated something
OF this sort in the way OF return
match, have been taking light exercise
since the meeting which was held in
Portland last month, and that unless the
athletes of the Olympic Club are up
and doing the chances for second victory
are favorable to the athletes of the north
ern club.
Gill says, however, that he can muster
a strong team and that Brown and Patter-
son will certainly turn the tables on Tai
lent and Kerrigan, but then there is moth
ing certain in athletics ana the Olympic
boys should not be too confident.

of the cruel and terrible murder OF Il
colored woman ut the hands of her
husband, Stephen Fairfield, near Au-

her all to pieces and burying her
She was missed yesterday and search
instituted. The man was seen placing
straw over fresh dirt and this caused
suspicion afterwards leading to the
finding of the body where he had bur
led it. Barrfield was arrested by Mr..

of his cruel deed. The coroner, DR..
Joshua Tayloe left for the scene this
afternoon.

By a Most Terrific Mine Explos-

AT TYLERSTOWN COLLiERY
The Full Number of Dead is Not
Yet Known.
THE WORK OF RESCUE GOING ON
ing Pits and There is Little Hope
That Any One Survived
the Accident.

Cardiff, Wales, Jan. 27.--A terrible
explosion has taken place in colliery
at Tylerstown near this place. The
shafts were scattered and the whole
town was shaken by the tremendous
concussion, causing a scene of wild eX-
citement. The after-damp was carried
to the connecting pits, from the Ty-
lerstown pit. Fifteen bodies have
been recovered, and 40 miners are said
to be missing.
The latest report places the number
of dead at 81, though it is feared that
the further exploration of the wrecked
mine will develop the bodies of more.
The mining population knew all too
quickly what the muffied, rumbling
of the explosion meant, and rushed to
the mouth of the pit only to have their
worst fears confirmed. The shaft was
found to be entirely shattered, and it
was evident that there was little hope
that any of those in the pit could have
survived the explosion. The despair
of the women who flocled about the
mouth of the pit was terrible.
