had thrilling experience that almost
ended In disaster. While about TO
make the landing at Baresville, the
storm caught the boat broadside and
she nearly capslzed. All the glass on
one side Of the vessel was broken, the
steam pipes were disconnected, tho
bulkheads Jared loose and u small
amount of freight swept overheard.
When the vessel reached ParlSersburg
she was in bad condition. A panic
occurred among the passengers, and 1t
was only the heroic measures of the
officers that prevented loss of life.

Poultry in Orchards.

Mr.. Tegetmeier, the famous English
authority on poultry, in commenting
on report of the Rhode Island Ex-
pertinent Station regarding the value
of fowls to orchards, says: "For many
years have advocated the introduce
tion of poultry into apple orchards,
maintaining that they do good service,
in two very distinct modes-frst, by
manuring the ground, and, secondly,
by the destruction of insects and
grubs that hibernate in the soil.''
The apple maggot appears to be ex-
tending in America, attacking the ia
vorite Baldwin, which is so we'll known
as being imported largely into this
country, and rendering it entirely un-
fit for use, but the spraying the trees
with Bordeaux mixture anu Paris
green has appeared to prevent all seri-
Gus attacks of this insect.
In the mature state this insect is a
fly, which deposits its eggs in the pnlp
of the apple beneath the skin. The
young maggots grow within the fruit,
which they render worthless, and
when mature emerge from the apple
and 60 into the ground, lying in the
pupa state beneath the surface soil
among the grass roots. Samples Of
the earth, six inches square, were
taken, and the number of maggots un-
der the trees varied, according to the
size, from 1900 to more than II, 600
under each tree; the pupa somewhat
resembles kernels of wheat. Now
comes the point which was particularly
interesting to me. The experiment
was tried as to whether poultry, if
confined to a small range and encour-
aged to scratch, would destroy these
pupa. A large movable wire fence
was placed about tree, whose fruit
had been destroyed by insects. One
side of the fence was raised and fifty
hens were called into the enclosure.
The fence was let down and they were
confined to the space around the tree.
As soon as they had eaten the corn
they naturally began to scratch for
pupa, and in the course of three or
four days it was found that the latter
had disappeared. AS these insects re-
main in the pupa state from the fall of
the apple to the following spring,
when they appear, it may be expected
lat next year the number Of flies

REMARKABLE RECOVERY
OF Il Young Lady of Gasport, New York
From Anaema.
the Courier, Buffalo,, ". Y.

From Anaemia.
From the Courier, Buffalo, ". Y
Miss Lulu Stevens, daughter of George
Stevens, the well-known blacksmith, OF Gas
port, Niagara County, New York, has sur
prised her neighbors considerably, by not
dying five months ago, when the physicians
said she could not live.
This was quite a remarkable case. The
young woman, who is very we'll known, on
account Of her musical ability, had been q
very healthy girl, until about one year ago,
when she began to fail, and grew so pale
and apparently bloodless and so weak that
after few months she was given up to die.
Last winter a physician who was visitor
at Gasport met Miss Stevens and seeing
her emaciated condition and hearing from
the local doctors that the disease was an
aemia. prevailed on the girls mother to
make her try DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
Directly she commenced the treatment she
began to mend. and now since February,
when she decided to take them, she has be-
come well and strong and the picture OF
good health, The mother OF the girl, Mrs.
Stevens, says: Everyone in Gasport knows
that Pink Pills cured Lulu, and feel very
thankful that we heard Of them In time TO
save my child's life.''
Dr. Williams Pink Pills contain, in con-
densed form, all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves. They are also
specific for troubles peculiar to females,
such as suppressions, Irregularities and all
forms of weakness. They build up the blood,
and restore the glow Of health to pale and
sallow cheeks. In mer they effect radical
cure in all cases arising from mental worry,
overwork or eXcesses OF whatever nature.
Pink Pills are sold in boxes (never in loose
bulk at so cents box or six boxes for
$3.50, and may be had of all druggists, or
direct by mail from DR.. Williams Medicine
Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

Nav Weed in Fields.

May weed is not a kind of weed that
seriously troubles the careful farmer.
1t mainly comes in on hard, trodden
places by road sides, where if anything
else starts to grow it is crushed out.
The may weed, not being so easily
killed, survives. May weed cannot
thrive where there is an undisturbed
and thrifty growth of clover, but let
the clover be trampled in the mire by
stock, and the may weed will be ready
to grow and take the vacant place. 1t
is most often seen, aside from road
sides, at the entrance to pasture lots,
where clover and the grasses are
trampled to death by stock.

FIRES ALONG SHORE.
Millions of Property in New York Pro
tected by Fleet of Fire-Boats.

tected by Fleet OF re-boats.
A paper by Charles T. Hill in the
st. Nicholas, in the series on New
York's Fire Department, is devoted to
"Floating Fire-Engines." Mr.. Hill
says:
With the growth of a large city,
the protection of the waterfront from
the ravages of fire becomes an i'm
portant study of fire protection for the
city itself. Nearly every large city in
the United States owes it's growth to
it's nearness to some body of water,
either lake river or sea, which offers
exceptional advantages for the trans.
portation of immense quantities Of
merchandise, and also provides har-
borage for all manner of craft engaged
in this work.
This merchandise has to be stored
somewhere during the process of load
ing and unloading these vessels, and
the big warehouses and wharf-build-
ings along the waterfront serve this
purpose: but very often the most valu-
able cargoes are stored for a time in
the fimsiest kind of buildings, need.
ing but spark to start destructive
confagration.
As q city increases in size its i'm
portance as a freight-center grows In
proportion; and the value of freight
and merchandise stored along shore,
during transit, in big city like New
York, can only be imagined. No
reasonable valuation can be given, for
we should have to dive too deeply in
ITO the amounts of imports and exports
to get anywhere near he truth; but it
is safe to say that one hundred millions
would scarcely cover the property ex-
posed to the danger of fire, in a single
day, among the piers and warehouses
Of New York City.
Nor is this danger confined to piers
and arf-buildings alone, but vessels
in the act of loading and unloading
valuable cargoes, the big bonded
warehouses along the river front, the
docks for great ocean steamers, and
The freight stations of many big rail-
roads are also exposed to this risk,
and need to be we'll protected, for a
serious fire among them would destroy
more valuable property than perhaps
e. fire Of the same extent in the very
heart Of the city.
Fires along shore are difficult ones
to handle. There is always more or
less wind near the water; if gale is
blowing it seems to have twice as
much force on the waterfront, and O
fire once started here spreads very
rapidly. Then fires on the piers, or
or in the wharf-buildings, are usually
very hard to fght;-although there is
plenty of water all around, it is diff
cult to apply it to good effect. The
land forces can only fight such a fire
from one position-the street side;
and if the wind is blowing inland it
drives the smoke and fire directly at
them, and makes it nearly impossible
to hold this position. 1t is here that
the floating tire-engine or fre-boat can
do its valuable work; and New York
possesses feet of such vessels-three
boats that are fully able to cope with
a fire of almost any size, whether it be
among the shipping, alongshore, or
anywhere in the harbor.

Graves of the Klondike.

Although there are very few people
in the country, one is continually sur
prised at first by perceiving solitary
white tent standing on some promin-
ent point or cliff which overlooks the
river. At first this looks cheerful,
and we sent many hearty hail across
the water to such habitations; but our
calls were never answered, for these
are not the dwellings of the living,
but of the dead. Inside each of these
tents, which are ordinarily made of
white cloth, though sometimes of
woven mating, is dead Indian, and
near him are laid his rifle, snowshoes,
ornaments and other personal effects.
1 do not think the custom of leaving
these articles at the graves implies any
belief that they will be used by the
dead man in another world, but simply
signifies that he will have no more use
for the things which were so dear and
necessary to him in life-just as,
among ourselves, articles which have
been used by some dead friend are
henceforth laid aside and used no
longer. These dwellings of the dead
are always put in prominent positions,
commanding as broad and fair view
rs can be obtained. At Pelly we saw
several Indian graves which were sur.
rounded by hewn palings, rudely and
Enthusiastically painted, and sometimes
by poles Outing.

MIX Fever.

Milk fever is a disease to be dread
ell by the man who has frst-class
dairy COWS, and who feeds and cares
for them in such manner as to make
them large producers. The man with
scrub cows, that have to rustic for
themselves during the winter round
the straw stack, never suffers from loss
by milk fever when his cows come in
in the spring. 1t is true he gets no
profit out of his COWS, and he rarely
gets product enough from them to pay
for the little feed and care they do
have. But he can, and does, console
himself by saying he never has milk
fever with his COWS like those men do
who "stuff and pamper and baby their
COWS"
We have lost, within the past fifteen
years, several valuable COWS with this
disease. We think we now know how
to prevent. A heifer with her first
calf never has it and very rarely with
the second calf. A COW that is milked
continuously right up to calving is not
liable to have milk fever, at least we
have never known one to. We hesi-
tated to write that last sentence for
fear some one would accuse us of ad-
vocating continuous milking. That
we do not, but still feel bound to state
that fact. A COW that is starved, or
fed just enough to live on, will never
have milk fever.
One way is to dry the COW up six or
eight weeks before she is due to calve
unless she is such persistent milker
as to make that impracticable); at the
same time reduce her feed by taking
nearly, if not quite all, the grain from
her. Her bowels should be kept loose.
If the COW is in flush pasture, and she
is one you have reason to believe like
ly to have milk fever, the only safe
way to do is to keep her upon dry feed.
We know it is hard for the man who
has been in the habit of ''babying"
and petting his COWS and feeding them
to their full capacity to refuse them all
they want to eat, but it is the only
safe way to do with some Of them.
After q COW has had milk fever once
she is more liable than other COWS to
have it again, and if she does have it
second time she will be always most
sure to die.-Hoard's Dairyman.

Supplying Pulpits.

One of the problems the summer
season always presents to those inter-
ested in the practical working of
church and the one most difficult
to solve with satisfaction to all con-
cerned is that of supplying the pulpit
during the absence of the regular min
ister. The question of pulpit supply,
as it is known technically, sometimes
is taken care of by the church officials,
but not infrequentlY it is left to the
minister, although in the latter case
he is apt to be hampered throughout
his period of rest by anxieties as to
whether the visiting minister is salts
factory to his congregation.
The compensation received for pulpit
supplying services varies greatly. As a
rule the rate is low when compared
to the character of the churches
served and the men who perform the
service. Probably the best paying
churches, as class, are the Presby-
terian and Congregational, their rates
running from 500 for a whole days
service to SIS, with few at the former
figure and o great many at the latter.
Methodist churches pay from $25 to
s5 for whole days service, while
among the Baptist churches the rate
is from $50 to $5. Sometimes the
minister has his expenses in addition
to this, but, as a rule, the lump sum
is expected to include the whole
transaction. In some places no fixed
sum is stipulated, a sliding scale be.
ing in use and operated on sliding
basis of one per cent. of the regular
salary of the pastor.-New York Press.

A Wonderful Hen.

A most wonderful phenomenon has
recently occurred at Boston, England.
A poultry keeper placed hen on ff
teen double yolked eggs and twenty.
nine chicken were the result. 1t is
said that the hens bewilderment at
this extraordinary brood from such an
ordinary number of eggs was very pro-
uounced. The chickens, which are
black Minorcas, are now about three
weeks old, healthy and peckish, and
have been viewed by scores Of incredi
BILE curiosity hunters. London Times.

Child Sent by Post.

A novel parcel for delivery by ex.
press post was recently handed in al
a Birmingham (England) Postoffice
A workingman, who had been out Of
town with his three-year-old child, ar
rived at Birmingham in time to reach
his place of business, but not in suffi.
cient time tc take his child home. He,
therefore walked into the nearest post
office and rendered the youugster az
an express parcel. The authorities,
under the rule regulating the delivery
of live animals, accepted the child and
delivered it at charge of nine pence.

The Old and the New.

The difference between ancient and
modern slang was amusingly illustrated
in recent incident at the Chautauqua
assembly, when the teacher of English
literature asked, "What is the mean
ing of the Shakespearean phrase Go
TOP" and member of the class re-
piled, "Oh, that is only the sixteenth
century's expression Of the modern
Come off," The two phrases, while
apparently opposite, do, in fact, sub
stantially mean the same thing.

breeding from the apple maggot will
be greatly diminished in the localities
where this plan is followed.
From personal experience, extend
ing over many years, I can speak posi-
lively of the advantages of allowing
fowls and chickens a free range in
apple orchards. They not only ma
nure the soil and destroy all insects
harboring in it, but they find, for some
weeks, a considerable portion of their
own food-the windfalls, which they
devour greedily, with any grubs they
may contain.
The raising of poultry for sale may
be much more advantageously carried
on where the land is made to produce
two crops-namely, apples and eggs
than where only one is gathered.
