One Woman's Trio OF Triplets.

q In an almost inaccessible mountain
fastness, in Mendocino County, eight
cen miles northeast of Ukiah. is the
home of nine children, all triplets.
The mother of this remarkable family
is Mrs. George Walters. All the
family are we'll and happy, and the
last trio are as healthy set of young
sters as can be found anywhere.
The Walters home is in an out-of-
I. the-way part of the Mendocino forest
district. Two of the sets of triplets
were by Mrs. Walters's first husband,
Orville Orrin Oates, Missourisn.
Three years elapsed between the birth
Of the first and second, triplets, and
twelve years between the birth of the
second and third sets.
Mrs. Walters's maiden name was
Ellen Elaine Emmery. She was born
In Quebec about 1855. She met her
first husband during the Centennial
Exposition at Philadelphia. After
their marriage they moved to Alton,
Mo. 1t was at Alton in 1879 the first
triplets we're born. They were named
Wheeler Henry, James Rutherford and
Martha Christine, being two hoys and
one girl. Tho family moved to Cali
fornia in the foil of'1SSO, and settled
at first in Inyo County. From there
they moved to the Little Bear Valley,
San Bernardino County. There, in
October, 1882, the second triplets
were born. They we're all girls, and
were named Matilda Ann, Rebecca
Elizabeth and Marie Louise. While
out on prospecting tour, seeking a
fortune for his fast-growing family,
Mr.. Oates became lost in the vast
deserts of Western Arizona, and was
never again heard from.
The widow then determined to move
to the upper part of the State with her
six children. They Travelled north by
easy stages, and on the way she met
Mr.. Walters. He helped her and her
children along the way, proposed mar
riaee, and was promptly accepted.
They kept on their way north, seek
ing for some far-away valley where
they could set up their home. They
found it in the location already do
scribed. There, in June, 1894, the
last triplets were born. They were
named Grover Eldred, Jasper Otis and
Ruth Ellen.
The children of the first two sets OF
triplets do not resemble one another
at all, but the last, the babies, look 80
much alike, that they cannot be told
apart. The only way to distinguish
them is to dress them differently, and
when put to bed they wear different
kinds of night dresses, so that the
mother in the morning can tell which
is which. San Francisco Examiner.

PLANTS FOR DECORATIONS.

The use of growing plants in pots
for the decoration of the table is
rapidly increasing, and the prsotice
has much to commend it, especially to
those who have good collections of
plants, and who either do not feel able
to afford the expense of cut flowers or
are e OF able to procure them because
of living in places where there are no
greenhouses, writes Eben E. Rexford.
I am also glad to encourage it for an
other reason it will have tendency
to induce amateurs to make special
efforts to develop fine plants, as such,
and such only, are available for use
on the table. An ill-shaped, unhealthy
plant there is far worse than none at
all.
In this paper I shall speak of such
kinds as can be grown successfully in
any window. In another of such as
can be grown in the home green
house.
Begonias are charming plants for
this purpose when compact and sym
metrical in shape and not too large.
Their foliage is bright and pleasing
and very ornamental in itself, and
when to this is added the charm of
their delightful flowers we have an
ideal plant for table use. Welto.

variety is a-gentea guttata, an upright
sort of spreading habit, having foliage
of rich olive, spotted with silver, the
under side being q dull red, which
throws the other colors into charming
relief. It's flowers are pale, pearly
flesh color, produced in large, droop-
ing, spreading panicles. This plant is
q larger grower than weltonoiensls, and
makes fine plant for the center of a
group, when it is desirable to combine
several plants for occasions requiring
special efforts in the wsy Of decors-

It Was the Bull.

At village near Accrington there
is q certain Wesleyan chapel where
bass viol has been introduced to assist
the choir. On recent Sunday, while
the parson was in the middle of the
sermon, big bull got out of his pas
ture and came staggering down the
road, growing as he came. The min
lister heard the low below, and look
ing up toward the singers seats with
grave face, said:
sI would thank the musicians not
TO tune during service time; it annoys
me.
The choir was surprised, but moth
ing was said. Pretty soon the bull
gave another grumble, and then the
pa.son became frantic. He stopped
short, and looking directly at the bass
viol player, said: 49,. .... ...-.
"I now particularly request Mr.. L.
that he will not tune his instrument
while am preaching"
This was more than the fiddler could
stand. Popping up in his seat, he
snapped out:
I. 'slt isn't me, parson-it isn't me!
It's the old town bull. "-Loudon Tele.

Tho Absence OF 1t.

II there is any truth in the saying that hap
piness Is the absence Of all pain, mental and
physical, the enjoyment Of it can only be
found in heaven. But so lar as the physical
is concerned, 1t is within easy reach; at least
measurably so, as far as cure will go. The
sum OF human misery in this line is made up
of greater or less degrees of physical suffer-
ing. The minor aches and pains which
af1ict mankind are easy to reach and as
easily cured. There are none in the whole
category, which, II taken in time, cannot be
cured. They must in some form aff1ict the
nerves, the bones. the muscles and joints Of
the human body. They are all more or less
hurtful and wasteful to the system. st.

m111Er AZ A hay FOR sHEEP.

A subscriber living at Rossville,
Kan, asks Us if we cannot give some
thing which will enlighten him upon
the subject of mlllet as hay for
sheep; and after looking over the
facts which we have at hand, we find
ourselves bounu to confess that we be-
lieve that some other grasses can be
used in its stead which would not only
make better hay for sheep, but would
be liable to give much larger crop.
because of their ability to withstand
the elements.
Some time ago q leading agricul.
tural journal spoke editorially in re-
gard to mlllet, and advised its readers
to steer clear of it because of their
having been discovered in its compo-
sition, by weIl-known scientists, q
poisonous element which was exceed
ingly harmful to cattle when the mil
let was given in large quantities; and
we have no doubt whatever but what
this would apply to sheep as well as
cattle. This, of course, is no doubt
true, but nevertheless there are many
who claim great deal for millet, es-
pecially the variety known as the
Japanese.
One writer claims for this variety
that it is distinct from the ordinary
millet, growing much taller and
stouter, and recommends it especially
as a fodder crop. either for feeding
green OF for the silo, as it yields from
Zen to twelve tons of green fodder per
acre, and from seventy to ninety
bushels Of seed per acre when thlnly
sown in rows about foot apart. The
seed is relished by poultry, and
threshes very easily. For fodder, one
peck Of seed per acre is ample; in
drills for seed, three pints to two
quarts. The land upon which it is
sown should be that which would be
favorable to other grasses, and the
same will apply to the fertilizer.
Nov for the main point in the query,
Will it be suitable as a hay for sheep2
This We cannot learn from any accu-
rate source, but from tables which we
are in possession OF, giving the con-
stituents of the different folders, and
from others which describe that which
is supposed to be needed by a full
grown sheep in order to keep it in a
thriving condition, we find that it
ought to be suitable as part of ra'
tion, but by no means should it form
a complete ration, for it does not con-
tain all the elements which it is neces'
sary for the animals to have.
Upon the whole We believe that it
might be used as a fodder for sheep
with beneficial results, providing, of
course, that grain or roots were given
in some quantity, which in reality
would be the same course of feeding
which is generally followed by farm.
ers, only that the millet hay be given
instead Of the variety of hay which it
has been the custom to feed.-N

ESSENTIALS IN STRAWBERRY GROWING.
Professor Lozenberry recently gave
the following summary of essential
points to be kept in mind:
The most profitable varieties for the
commercial growers are those not
easily influenced by differences of soil
and climate. Those which succeed
we'll on wide areas are usually better
than those which have mere local repu-
tation. .. ' -... ...
l. Pistillate varieties. when properly
fertilized, are more productive than
the sorts with perfect flowers.
2. The value of variety tor fertiliz-
ing pistillate flowers does not depend
80 much upon the amount as upon the
potency Of pollen. ~. >
8. The flowers Of pistillate varieties
are less liable to be injured by frosts
than the flowers Of perfect varieties.
4. Varieties that are neither very
early nor very late in point of ma.
turity are the most productive and
have the longest fruiting season.
8. As rule, varieties that have the
most vigorous and healthy foliage are
the most productive, while those with
a weaker growth of foliage and greater
susceptibility to leaf blight are usually
unproliic.
6. Winter protection may be dis
pensed with upon well-trimmed sandy
soils, but appears to be necessity
upon heavier ones.
7. The leaf blight may be checked
by using the Bordeaux mixtures, be-
ginning just as soon as leaves appear,
and continuing the application every
few weeks throughout the season.

latter rumor is q perennial one, and
seems to csme up periodically from

some morning the world feminine will
