Mr.. M'KINLEY's ROMANCE.
A Providence took Maj. Mckinley to Can
ton when he came to the milestone in life
that was to guide him to success or failure in
the affairs of men. There he first met Miss
Ida Saxton and subsequently, made her his
wife. She was the daughter of James A.
Saxtoa, one of the leading men of Canton.
There they first set up the home. The first
shadow that came upon this household was
the death OF their first-born, little daughter
three years old. This was followed by the
death of her mother, and soon the second
child, q baby.
The shock of this triple loss made an in
valid of Mrs. Mckinley for several years.
When her husband came to Congress she
took up her duties and was his constant COM
panion. She was close companion of Mrs.
Hayes. and was often called upon to assist in
the social functions of the White House.
Her experience, her culture and education
have fully equipped her for the duties she
is now called upon to meet.
She is singularly attractive In person.

THE STORY OF THE BOOK.

HIS IS, UNDOUBTEDLY, THE MOST
thrilling book of the great civil war The
enterprise described possesses all the unity of a
drama from the first plunge of the actors into
the enemy's country, through all their adven-
lures and changing fortunes, until the few
survivors stood once more under the old flag.
No single war story wildly presents SO many
of the hidden, underground elements of the
struggle against rebellion as this. From be-
ginning to end the readers attention never
wearies, and he rises from the perusal feeling
almost as if he had again lived through those
terrible days. The adventures traversed the
Confederacy in all directions; some persisted
as spies, all suffered terribly, and the wonder
is that any escaped alive.
Three events narrated In the story of this

Success with Caulifiowers.

Professor w. F. Massey, writing in
the Practical Farmer some tine ago,
referred to the difficulty experienced
in the south in growing caulifiowers
in the fall This called out a letter
from a reader in Louisiana, telling
how he succeeds with this vegetable
He says:

be made anywhere; at least, they are
eight to ten inches across and perfect

regularly for week, and they will
last till Christmas or New Year, when
they are always killed by severe cold
About the first of August I sow a
paper of seed in a rich seed bed, in
thirty-inch rows, about three inches
apart. This will give enough for an
ordinary family. This seed bed is

setting out. Sow the seed late in the
evening. Cover about half an inch
deep and then drench the bed with
water from fine rose water pot.
Next morning by sunrise, water
again, and cover the bed with sacks
TO keep off the sun. Take off the
sacks at shutdown and water again.
Repeat this process until the seed
begins to come up. Then remove the
sacks permanently, but keep up
the watering, which must now be
done from four to six times a day for
a while, or often enough to keep the
bed constantly wet. AS the plants
increase in size, they will shade the
ground and do with less watering.
In the evening will be enough. BY the
first of September the plants are large
enough to set. Have followed this
plan for years and have never made a
failure. | raise fall cabbage and let

ordinary cantaloupe, green and
smooth outside, of a conical shape,
tapering toward the blossom end. The
flesh is of pale greenish tint, but of
a peculiar delicate flavor, and more
richly sweet that the ordinary musk
melon, and is quite eata'ble to within
a quarter of an inch Of the outside.
Its keeping qualities are remarkable.

to ripen, it can be shipped a long dis

but rather dry pear, and by some is
best liked in that condition. Coming
into the market several weeks after
other melons have disappeared, the
Turkestan melon seems to be valua-
BILE acquisition, and as seeds have
been sent to parties in Orlando and
other points, it's merits will 'be fully
tested in Florida next year.

that are disappointing when grown
side by side with other varieties, says
Cottage Gardening:
1t would not, of course, be fair to
compare the great, coarse Drumhead
cabbage with the small-hearted gar
den cabbages, but it will require
very keen sense of taste to discern
any difference between such nearly
alike varieties as Wheeler's Imperial
and Early Rainham.
1t should not be forgotten that a
very great difference in flavor can be
impaired to all or any of them by the
kind of manure used, especially if
strong liquid manures are applied
In my locality some market cultiva-
tors who dress their land heavily with
nightsoil and sewage have great diff
ficulty in selling their cabbage and
other green crops, as the buyers say
that, although they look so fine, they
can tell where they were grown by
the odor emitted in cooking as we'll
as by the disagreeable flavor.
Celery, too, is very much affected by
the feeding, crop, nothing is supposed
to be too rank for it. The conse-
quence is that the fine-looling heads
have but little good edible material in
them, being coarse and stringy, and
the flavor not at all resembling the
nutty taste that celery has when
grown on less rank food. Turnips are
familiar samples of the effects of the
excessive use of manure. Any one
who has tasted what are called stub
bic turnips, or those grown on land
after corn without any fresh manure,
knows that they are sweeter than the
finest examples of garden turnips.

A New Watermelon.

Frank Virgins of the chamber of
Times, has received from the division
of pomology in Washington some
seeds of new melon known as the
Turkestan, of which he will distrib-
ute a small quantity among those
who will agree to note the facts in re-
gard to it's growth, and report the
same to the chamber of commerce.
In forwarding the seed S. B. Heiges
the pomologilst, writes as follows:
81 take the liberty of sending you
a few seeds of the Turkestan melon,
which [ hope you will distribute to
parties who will give them careful
culture. Our specimen was received
from Cuba via New York, and evil
IDENTIFY was plucked before it was ripe.
1t was larger than an average-sized
cantaloupe, externally resembled
watermelon in texture and color of
skin, with very delicate netting. 1t
was very sweet and tender, thick
fleshed, and could be eaten close to
the rind. The seeds differed somewhat
in shape from the cantaloupe, being
dished.
81 believe that if it were allowed to
ripen on the ground it would improve
in quality. I will send you report
shortly of all the specimens of fruits
you have SO kindly sent us. By the
way, my native county, York, Pa,
was decidedly the victor as to size of
ounce until you sent the specimen
that capped the climax
81 inclose a newspaper clipping
that is a pretty fair statement of the
Turkestan melon"
Following is the statement, above
referred to, from the Jacksonville
Times-U Union of Florida.
Specimens now being sold were
grown in Cuba, and, of course, might
have been grown in Florida just as
well. 1t is somewhat smaller than the

Growing Artichokes.

the name indicates, this vegetable be-
longs to the sunflower family, having
small yellow flowers on the matured
stalks that resemble diminutive sun
flower. The artichoke rests it's claim
for appreciation in the vegetable gar
den simply on it's quality as a materi-
al for pickles. 1t affords one of the
incest and at the same time the
cheapest pickles that can possibly
be made. A great many people pre-
fer a well-made artichoke pickle to
most every other kind.
There is no crop more easily grown
that the artichoke, and under good
culture hundreds of bushels can be
grown on an acre. The culture is ex-
actly like that of the Irish potato, but
the artichoke, when planted early in
the spring, continues to grow and in
crease it's crop until the killing frost
comes.
They must not be dug when the
can lie in the ground all the winter
and be dug just as they are needed
but they must be gathered before the
tubers begin to sprout, which they
are likely to do in February. Near
the cities and large towns consider
able profit ought to be derived from a
1o1f in, oh
This vegetable is not appreciated as
it should be, thought; if it were, d
thousand barrels or pickles would be
put up in the south where one is now
and the poor would use them as reg
ularly as they do any other article Of
food.
AS an autiscorbutic nothing is su-
perior to an artichoke pickle.
There are several varieties of the
Jerusalem artichoke-the red, purple,
yellow and white. The mammoth
white doubtless is as good as any, for
it is very productive. Medium-sized
tubers cut in half and planted eigh-
teen inches IN the row, WIN rows
three to four feet apart, is the simple
method of planting, that only needs
good soil and enough culture to keep
the crop clean, to produce anywhere
from $50 to $50 bushels to the acre.
Over 1000 bushels have been grown
on an acre, but $50 bushels should be
very satisfactory crop.
The seedsmen demand So to So per
bushel for seed artichokes, but this
is very exorbitant. Money can be
made in growing them for IS cents
per bushel.
Artichokes sliced and fried, stew
ed or baked makes a very nice dish to
be sure, but, of course, they are never
likely to compete with Irish potatoes
as an article of food, but the Irish
potato on the other hand can never
compete with artichokes as a material
for making pickles, the only quality
we are claiming for it that entities it
to garden culture. Those who are cog
infant of it's value on the stock farm
need not be told how valuable crop
the artichoke is for hogs and COWS.
Hogs can not be raised to the great
est profit on anV farm without the aid

Tim Olin, ten-year-old boy who be-
cause AN accident is compelled to wear
two wooden legs, lives high up in the
Cumberland mountains of Kentucky,
near the Virginia line. Having heard
that forest fires were doing great dam
age on the other side of the range, he
climbed to u peak and saw that in the
track of flames was cabin where two
aged sisters and their blind brother
lived. Although not fit for travelling
over a mountain path he made the best
of his way to them, hitched their horse
to sled, and got them all away safely.
The fire reached the cabin that night.

Deacon Capen is dead. His title to
distinction is that, living all his life OF
81 years on wooded and rocky farm
near Sharon, Mass, and following no
pursuit but farming (and economizing)
he accumulated fortune of 100000.
Of this sum he made over some years
ago over SSs,ooO in securities to the
Massachusetts Baptist association and
100000 to the Baptist Home Missionary
society, of New York, stipulating that
while he lived he should receive an
nually sum equal to six per cent. on
the amount given. He denied himself
what others consider the comforts OF
life and was proud of his economies

There is a great deal of talk going

MCKINLEY. The latest design is two
separate cars, which when fastened to-
gether make one extra large car. This
idea is the same as the c. III. s. d. Ry.

the vestibules extend the full width of
the car, and when the car is coupled to-
gether make one continuous train. Per-
