Charles w. Fairbanks has been a citi-

previous he had visited Indianapolis as
a delegate from the Phi Gamma Delta
Greek society chapter at Ohio Wesleyan
university to the national meeting of
that college fraternity. He liked the
town and after his admittance to the
bar in Ohio he went direct to Indianap-
oils and hung out his shingle. He was
slender six-foot country boy, who had
already attracted enough attention in
Union county, o., where he was born,
May II, 1852, and where he had grown
up farmer, to be offered the prosecut-
ing attorneyship, which he had de-
clined. His legal ambition lay in an
other direction from criminal practice

Whitewaslipu ApDle Trees.

1t was once common practice with
many orchardists to whitewash the
trunks of apple trees just before winter
came on. We could never see much ad-
vantage in this, though as more or less
of the rough bark was scraped off pre-
paratory to embarrassing it destroyed
some injurious insects that had prepared
to make this shelter their winter home.
But most of these insects would be de-
stroyed by that most valuable friend of
the orchardist and the grower. the wood
pecker, which remains here through the
winter for that purpose. TO kill off in
sects by other means is to some extent
cheating these useful friends, provided
the work is done in the fall. The white
washed trunks make striking appear
ance when the trees leave out in the
spring. But we could never see that the
trees were benefited. A really helpful
wash would be to dissolve hardwood
ashes in water, and wash the trunks
with this. That would make no show at
all, but it will clear the trunks of most
insects, and if some carbolic acid were
put in it, the wash will be good one to
apply in summer to repel the borer.-'Thc

Christmas Trees in China.

The Christmas tree in Europe, which,
like the yule log, is a survival from the
festival of the revival of the sun after
the winter solstice, finds it's counterpart
in China as elsewhere in the world.
DR.. Schlegel has recently pointed out
the historical references to this subject.
According to the. Antiquities Of Tsin,'
an old principality which lasted until
PAT B. c., the tree, with 100 flowers and
lamps, was placed, on New Years day,
between the three steps leading to the
audience felicitation hall.
The lady Han-Kwoh, the celebrated
PRINCESS Yang, the all-powerful favorite
of Minturang, Emperor of the Tang
dynasty "a: D. 713- 1850, caused "hun-
dred lamp Trees eighty feet high, to be
erected upon high mountain; it was
lighted during the New Years night, and
it's shine was seen for hundred miles,
totally eclipsing the light of the moon.
DR.. Schlegel states that as far as he
is aware the Christmas candle-tree is
now no longer lighted in China, it be-
ing replaced by the enormous quanti-
ties of candls which are lighted every
whore

The Next Thing to 1t.

The coffee habit is not us bad as the
liquor habit. but it is the next thing to
it. Coffee and tea drunkards are get

produced. and always aggravated, by
indulgence in coffee and tea. Yet peo-
pie fancy they can't get along without

Awful Fate OF a Chinese Lad.

had been arrested at kinkuei for acct
dentally causing the death of his mother,
and that the child had been sent under
custody to Sooehow to be there in1pris
one,l until sentenced to death in accord
ance with Chinese law, has unfortunate
ly been fully corroborated by a trust
worthy foreign resident of Soochow. I'm
der the draconic law of China, when a
parent has been killed no circumstances
of intention or of age are permitted to
interfere with the intliction of the pen
atty. which is that of lingch'i, or slicing
by the ox-eared knife, followed by decapi-
tation by the executioner's heavy two
handed sword. Any mitigation of this
cruel sentence would be considered by
the Chinese as aiming blow at the fun
damental principal of filial duty, which
is supposed to be the groundwork of their
code. No doubt even an appeal to the
Emperor would be in vain, for any at
tempt to change the law in the case of
this unfortunate youthful matricide
might endanger the dynasty itself

among the folks along the North noun

Winter Care of Manure.

So little can be done on the farm dur
ing the winter that it is probably the
best use that most farmers can put at
least part of their time and labor in
caring for the manure made ut this sea-
son, says the American Cultivator. There
will be already quite a large pile of it
around stables from the stack which has
been put up q month or more before. If
possible, the manure from cows and
horses should be piled together and COW
cred with little gypsum to prevent loss
of ammonia. The German potash salts
are even better for this purpose, as they
add the mineral in which stable manure
is most deficient. The effectiveness of
the manure may be greatly increased if
some much-diluted sulphuric acid is
poured over the heap. The art of COM
posting is not so we'll understood by
American farmers as it ought to be, and.
we fear, is often not practiced as well as
it is understood. The frequent turning
of manure so as to prevent it from fire.
fanging and putting the whole in fine
filth requires much dirty as we'll as hard
work. Yet no farm work pays better
than this. Coarse unfermented and fire.
fanged manure may do as much harm
as good What the farmer wants is
such manure as the market gardener
has, which will give quick start to all
seed put in contact with it in the soil.
The farmer may get such manure. just
as the gardener does, by composing his
barnyard manure before drawing it on
the field.

A Venerable sham Exposed.

William Tell has dwindled into a
myth. Rousseau's tomb, which has been
the bourne of so many pilgrimages
during the last hundred years, has
now been discovered to be unten-
anted, and now Downward, the prisoner
of Chillon,'' so beautifully sung of by
Lord Byron, is shown to be something
very much akin to fraud. Visitors
to the old castle of Chillon, on the Lake
of have th ro Long gazed with
pavement around the pillar to which the
captive was chained during his long in
generation. This year the famous foot
prints mysteriously disappeared. An in
quiry was made in the Cantonal Legisla-
ture as to what had become of them.
Thereupon M. Vecqurat, councillor of
state, rose and unblushingly explained
that they had never existed at all, but
were artifcially manufactured to satisfy
the demands Of sentimental public.
This year the usual repairs were done SO
late that there was no time to renew this
venerable sham.

CT Feed for Horses.

Almost all farmers practice feeding
their horses while at work with cut hay,
moistened and mixed with ground corn
and oats. The hay is much more easily
digested when cut and wet, and the meal
on it causes the horses to more thorough
" masticate it, as they like the taste.
There is also much less waste in feeding
grain after it has been ground, especially
after the mastication which is made nee
essary when cut hay is fed with it, and
which thoroughly mixes saliva with the
food before it goes into the stomach.
There is economy in steaming cut hay for
feeding all through the winter. when less
meal is required When the hay is
steamed, and corn and oatmeal sprinkled
over it, the flavor of the meal permeates
the cut hay, as it cannot when only cold
water is used. But care should be taken
not to give at any time more of this cut
feed than will be eaten, and especially
not to allow poultry to come into the
stable and soil the managers and feeding
boxes, as they surely will if the horse barn
is near the henhouse Or poultry is allowed
near it.

Frozen Milk.

According to the Newark Advertiser,
may experience new form of competi
ton from long distances in the sale of
milk by process now in successful use
in Denmark and Sweden. The milk is
collected at a central station, pasteurized
and frozen. Blocks of the frozen milk
are placed in stout, wooden casks, hold
ing about double the volume Of the
blocks, the extra space filled with steril-
lied milk and the casks Theoretically
sealed. The milk is thus safely trans
ported as far as England, and is pre-
served for more than twenty days. BY
this process milk from the middle West
could be set down in New York in as
good condition as milk fresh from Essex
