clear profit of $3.50 a year on produce
shipped to the northern markets, most

bright as any city in the south. The
Southern railway recognizes her many
points of superiority, as was shown
by locating the principal Atlantic ter
minus of the system there, and the
acquisition of the valuable property.
Besides, the Southern will put on new

EFFECT ON THE IMAGINATION,
Deer-Hunters Quite as Good story-Tellers
as Anglers.

Next to n fish story, or probably
snake story, the deer hunters can be
depended upon to get up and circulate
the most exaggerated stories of their
achievements upon returning from,
hunting trip. This is again forcibiy
illustrated in the appended Special
which was sent to the Ledger by cor
respondent in the interior of Pennsyl-
Nania, and who was serious in all he
said: THE deer-hunting season,which
closed to-day, has been marked with
greater success TO the sportsmen of this
part of the state than any season for
number of years. To the writer's GER
tain knowledge there have been well
on to two score of these creatures
brought to earth. and one improvement
over past years is noticed in the face
that not one Of this number was
killed purposely for market, as has been
done to such an extent in Pastyears.
among the number killed were some
very large ones, notably one killed by
Harvey Mann, which weighed 25e
pounds; another by Robert Gunsallus,
so tipped the scales at from IT'S to 200.
Naturally, the season could not pass
without a number of tales that sound
like old hunting stories, but the fol-
lowing is all true. and so the more in
teresting therefor.
But one of the most remarkable
deer-hunting stories, and which is
| vouched for as true, is told as happen
| ing to Joseph Mann. of Bald Eagle val
| lev. Mr.. Mann and friend were out
on the hunt for wild turkeys, and in
| going down a decline Mr.. Mann saw a
deer get up behind log and stretch it
self. He fired, and when the smoke
cleared away, there stood the deer,
Having a double-barreled gun he pulled
up and fired again; as before when the
smoke cleared away there stood the
deer. BY this time his friend was
near, and asked MIN what he was
shooting at. He beckoned him 20
approach, and, pointing at the
animal, told him that he had
shot twice and the deer never moved
and that he should try his luck. The
second man shot and the deer dropped
Then the two went down to see their
game, and what was their surprise or
arriving at the spot to find, instead Of
one animal, three fine deer. 1t seemed
that they had been sleeping there, ant
/. as the first one was shot another go
up, and so on, until the three were
killed."-Philadelphi Ledger.

Another Vanderbilt Wedding.

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-Cornelius
Vanderbilt, Jr., has written to a
friend in this city, announcing his
engagement to Miss Grace Wilson.
The letter came from Paris, but
young Vanderbilt is said to be now
in Egypt with his fiancee and her
parents.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cornelius Wander
bilt are much disturbed over the
news. They do not believe that
Cornelius, Jr., has found his heart,
but that he is going through the
preliminary stages known as calf
love. II this marriage takes place
it will be fitting sequence to pre-
vious alliances made by members
of the Wilson family.
Soon after Richard T. Wilson
acquired fortune the family came
to New York and settled down in
the fashionable section of Fifth
avenue. Then the weddings be-
gan. The eldest daughter married
Ogden Goelet, one of the richest
men in town. Marshall Orme
Wilson, the eldest son, married
Miss Carrie Astor, the youngest
daughter of the late VIM. B. Astor.
A second daughter married the
Hon. Michael Henry Herbert, of
the British diplomatic corps. Now
an alliance with the Vanderbilt
family is expected. Miss Grace
Wilson is good looking young
woman of blonde type. She is 80
years old and nine years the senior
of young Vanderbilt. Two years
ago she became engaged to Cecil
Barring, OF London, but Mr.. Bar
ing's solicitors demanded too much
dOwry, and Mr.. Richard 7. Wilson
broke the engagement off.

arUinciai seeming OF Flowers.
Flowers that have lost something of
their perfume are now scented arti-
ficially by watering them with an alco-
holic solution of essence, using little
glycerine to fix the odor. Thus, for
violets, the liquid is composed of 100
grammcs of glycerine and ten grammes
of essence of violet. In many places,
while scented violets are very rare, the
unscented kinds grow wild in great pro-
fusion. These are now brought up in
large quantities, scented artificially and
put into the market in advantageous
competition with the perfumed violets
grown by the horticulturists. Cut
flowers which have wilted from time OF
transportation are revived by being
plunged into a weak solution of sal am
moniac. Flowers which have little OF
no scent are also perfumed for sale by
being put into a box with ice, and ther
saturated with a current of carboniC
acid charged with perfume.-LondoI
