metallist and b%imetallist controversies
by abolishing both, and making the
substitution Of a whalebone currency
possible, for there is no chance of an
oversupply Of that article, and it is
quite evident that it can not be imi-
tated. Numerous attempts have been
made to simulate it, but none has been
successful. Not very many years ago
whalebone could be purchasedf for $4,000
u ton. At the end of last season the
price was So, 900. To-day it is about
$11,O 600, and it may be higher still,
for the Greenland fishing this summer
has not proved an immense success.
At this price an old family gingham,
of which whalebone ribs we've gener-

prove a very handsome legacy, much
more valuable than a gold-mounted

TURKEYS.

There are not nearly as many tur-
Keys grown as there should be. There
is never a year that turkeys are not
more profitable than hogs, for they al
ways brirE a good price in the mar
kets, and the supply is rarely equal to
the demand.
The bronze turkey is the favorite
large size, and is about the hardest Of
all the varieties. The only rival it has
that amounts to much in the West is
the white variety, which is growing in
favor because Of it's beautiful appear
ance when dressed, and the fine quail
ity Of the meat. 1t does not grow as
large as the bronze turkey, at the same
age, but is preferred by many con-
sumers, and they are often willing to
pay something extra to get one.
Young turkeys (poults is the proper
nance are somewhat tender at first,
and must be carefully looked after for
the first few weeks Of their lives, and
early morning dews.
They should be fed for the first few
days on bread, dampened (not soaked,
in sweet milk. With this may be given
cottage cheese, made in the same man
Ter as for the table, but with less salt
and more pepper in it. After they get
started and begin to show the red cor
rugations about the neck {"shooting

allowed perfect freedom, and they will
roam widely, searching for insects.

TAKEN AT Els WORD.

An appeal to the methods of chance
III any disagreement or perplexity is a
very foolish thing. If one is sure Of a
point, he should stick to it no doubt;
Or If he is willing-as one should al
ways be when no principle is involved
to give it up to another, it is far
more graceful and satisfactory to give
1t up outright.

Jay Gould's Messenger Kidnapped.

Jay Gould was fond of throwing
watchers off the scent Of his Wall
street transactions by sending out his
orders by different messenger boys.
A group of shrewd fellows, whose
names I might tell, but shall not at
this writing, caught one Of these boys
on che way from the Western Union
building to a certain brokers' Office in
The Street, took him to a room in q
secluded side street, just a block away.
and, removing his uniform. put it on
another boy who resembled him. For
three days he was kept under lock and
key, a prisoner with all that his heart
could wish-new clothes, new shoes,
new hat and all the good things that
he could eat and drink. In the mea
time the new boy come and went be-
tween the Wizard and his brokers,
always, however, on each trip pausing
long enough at the headquarters of
the conspirators to let them read the
messages, reseal them and make what
use of the contents they desired. In
this way they learned o S.certain plans
of Gould, which they kRcked into q

the Emperor Of China Owney received
a passport bearing the royal crest and
dragon, permitting him. to travel in
the country. But Owney did not so

Eleven feet is the length of the hair
OF Nancy GARRISON, o colored woman,
who lives near Holly Springs, Miss.
No other colored woman in the world
who has we been heard of has such
hair.
Until 1878 Nancy had the usual hair
of her race. But in that year, after
having suffered severely from yellow
fever, as soon as sho became conva.
lescent, her Lair began to grow rap
idly.
In o years time it grew from three
inches to three feet in length, thick
ening as it grew. A few years later
and the crispY mass Of hair fell below
her knees.
About that time a change of color
took place, and her jetty locks turned
white as snow, and SO remained until
about two years ago. Since then the
hair has gradually been turning to its
natural blackness.
The growth, though not so rapid,
still continues, and the hair now meas
ures just over eleven feet.
OF the male sex, James Brown, of
Bennington, W. Va, seems to have as
long hair as any one. For thirty
years his beard and mustache were
untrimmed, and consequently. though
with his arms extended he stretched
fully six feet from the tips of the fin
gers of one hand to the same extreml-
ties of the other, yet the ends OF his
mustache, when held horizontally, ex-
tended beyond his fingers.
He braided his wonderful beard and
mustache, and tucked them under his
vest.-New York Journal.

Names Big County,.

There are many persons perhaps
living within the limits Of Aroostook
county, Me, who have a faint idea of
its size, says the Boston Herald. 1t is
truly a county Of magnificent distances
and immense forests. 1t is nearly as
large as the State of Massachusetts,,
and larger than some of the Kingdoms
of the Old World. Its forests are the
largest i'll New England nd there are
places that have been visited
except by the Indian or hunter. OF the
five largest counties in the United
States, Aroostook is second, one in
California (San Bernardino) being a
little larger. Only about one-ffth Of
the county is under cultivation.
