Mr.. G.. w. Marrow; who lives in the

made 22A barrels Of corn and 1880
pumpkins on two acres of land this
year. He fattened 9 hogs on the pump
kins, which he counted as entirely
extra of his corn crop they being made
at no expense whatever outside of the
trouble of planting. He cooked them
and then thickened with meal, and
says if there is better food for hogs
he does not know what it is. Pump
kns are also very good for cows or
horses. For cattle they are better
cooked We have always thought that
our farmers do not pay attention
enough to growing such crops as pump
kins, turnips and the like for stock.

DR.. Judd's many friends in Louisburg

Hiring of nore.

One can hire gun or a violin, a house
or dresscoat, almost anything, in fact,
including dogs. Settlers and pointers
are hired for hunting purposes, and
they canIoe hired by the day or the week
or the month. Newfoundlands and ST.
Bernards are hired for watchdogs, usu-
ally for the summer. Watchdogs are
hired by caretakers of buildings in the
city, but oftener to take to c. ntry
houses, where, after being tie6 up for
a day or two, they become well enough
acquainted with their keeper to follow
him about.

They'd Rather sit with Men.

a noticeable habit Of women on
railway trains is that Of preferring TO
sit beside strasge man rather than
TO take vacant seat beside a strange
woman The window seats the whole
length of the ear being in possession of
earlier corners, the helated woman or
girl can be counted upon to pass by
seat after seat until she reaches one
where masculine visage is silhouetted
against the window pane, when with
a rs this seat eugaged?" she seats her
self shoulder 10 shoulder with strange
man. 1t would seem natural for a
woman of refinement TO find such close
proximity to IA stranger Of the OPP
posite sex little short of revolting-an
experience, in fact, to be avoided, if at
all possible. Judging. however, by the
conduct Of the majority Of the sex, this
is not point on which women are SEN
sitive.-Norue.

WHERE WIVES ARE SCARCE.

SDinsters Who Want Husbands Have
Good Chance in the Colonies.
The spinster who wants a husband
need only emigrate, for if all accounts
are true the different European colo
MES in Africa and Asia, as well as dis
tant regions in Canada, Australia and
Cape Colony, there are not enough wom-
en- TO supply the demand for wives.
But when the societies that promote
the emigration of women to the col
onies send out party, the last thing
in their minds, apparently, is the bet.
ter chance these women will have to get
husbands They simply send women
uho lack work to colonies that lack
women.
Their character and fitness for emil
grafton must be approved, and then
they are sent on the long journey in
the charge of matrons, who see to their
comfort and are responsible for their
safety until situations that will yield
them a living are found for them
The United British Women's Emigra-
ton association, the largest of all these
societies, would refuse to assist any
woman to emigrate if she should openly
avow that she was seeking a husband
rather than opportunities for work.

THE LOCOMOTIVE SHREK.
Its Invention Due to the Destruction
of LOad of Eggs.


1t was in the year 1888, according to
an English exchange, that the head
splitting shrek of the locomotive was
born. When the country roads for the
most part crossed at grade the engine
driver had no way of giving warming of
his approach except by blowing a tin
horn. One day in the year 1888 farm
er was crossing the railway track on
one of the country roads with a great
load of eggs and butter when a train APP
preached. The engine driver blew his
horn Justify, but the farmer did not
hear it. Eighty dozen eggs and so
pounds of butter were reduced TO one
common pulp, and the railway COM
pany had to pay what was then con-
sidered heavy damages
A director of the company, Ashmead
Baxter by name, went to Alton Grange,
where George Stephenson lived, to ask
if he could not invent something that
would give warning more likely to
be heard. Stephenson went to work,
and the next day had continuance
which, when attached, to the engine
boiler and the steam turned on, gave
out a shrill. discordant sound. The rail-
way directors, greatly delighted, or
reded similar contrivances to be at
tached to all their locomotives. And
this developed into the locomotive whis-
tie as we know it.

SAW rHRoueH HIS noaE
1OdeFn Researches Prove the Truth
OF story Which Is Centuries Ola.

1OdeFn Researches Prove the Truth
of a story Which Is Centuries old.
Several authors Of the sixteenth CEN
tury mentioned the existence OF a man
who. having lost his eyesight. could
See through his nose. The story, much
doubted at the time and pronounced
fabulous by physicians, is nevertheless
true if the researches Of T. Douliot
prove correct, says the Philadelphia
Record. II seems that the victim had
lost his right eye early in life and later
on while climbing cherry tree fell
upon fence. the pickets horribly mu-
tilating the left eye, the cheek and the
nose. The surgeon called in considered
the eye entirely destroyed, sewed UP
the wound and it healed in time, form
ing large scar where the eye had been.
year later the man, then considered
stone blind, lay in the grass when he
surprised himself by discovering that
he could perceive through the cavity
of the nose the sky and the color of the
flowers on the meadow around him.
From that time on he practiced for
five or six years to see with his nose.
which to him became practically the
organ of vision. He gradually became
more proficient in seeing in this way
and could see verifying beneath him,
while he remained quite insensible TO
the light from above.
The condition of this nan can be ex-
planned scientifically. Although the
lens Of the eye had been torn from it's
socket by the fall the optic membrane
and the nerves at the rear of the cav
ity of the eye had retained some of the
seeing power. When the eye had healed
together a small hole in the bone over
the nose must have formed, which acted
as lens in the same way as a pin hole
can be used to take a Photographic pic
ture. This also proves that the retina
of the eye acts like a camera obscura
where the objects from the outside be-
come visible when the rays of light ar
rive there after passing through a small
opening.

MAKE THEMSELVES USEFUL.
Dogs Perform Many Services for the
Miners in Frozen Alaska.

Dogs have suddenly become more
valuable than horses in this section of
the northwest. This state of affairs
results from the great and growing de-
mand for dogs TO be used in hauling
sledges in the Yukon country, Alaska.
While thousands of horses for which
their owners cannot get three dollars
head are roaming over the plains Of
eastern Washington and Oregon, good
sized dogs are bringing from SIS to $50
each in the local market. at Juneau
the IT value is double what il is here,
and on the Yukon river a good dog
brings from 500 TO $3.50 To the Yukon
miner the dog has become what the
reindeer is to the Laplander and the
pony to the cowboys of Texas and
Mexico-a beast of service and a most
valuable one.
Every steamer sailing for Alaska for
three months past has borne north
ward several dozen dogs destined for
service IN front Of heavily laden
sledges. They are taken by boat to
Dyea, at the head of salt water naviga-
ton, and there put into harness TO assist
in hauling outfits and supplies on er the
Chilkoot pass and down the farther
slope to the series of fresh water lakes
forming the headwaters of the Yukon's
tributaries. Up to May, when the ice
breaks up, dog teams slide over the
smooth surface of the lakes with sur
prising rapidity, considering the loads
they haul. There are portages TO be
made around dangerous rapids, and
here again their services are invaluable.
Arriving at the central parts, such as
Forty Mile or Circle City, both men and
dogs are put into harness again for the
trip to the diggings.
The sledge dogs are too valuable not
TO be well taken care of where that Is
possible. Their owners first thought
in this respect is to obtain plenty of
food for them. Their foe consists
principally of fish, usual salmon.
caught in the Yukon river vs. the ma
tives. An ordinary dog will eat daily
two pounds of dried salmon. which
equals seven pounds Of fresh fish. At
Forty Mile last winter dried salmon
sold at from 20 to so cents pound, and
bacon that was fit only for dogs TO eat
sold for 37h cents pound. In some of
the larger camps on the Yukon dog
boarding houses have been established.
where the animals are properly cared
for AT from six to fifteen dollars a
month, according To the season and the
price Of dog food. Forest and Stream
