PARIS, Oct. 1s.-It is semi.officially
announced that France will withdraw
the Marchand expedition from Fashoda

England it is understood, demanded

Kitchener's victorious British and
Egyptian army penetrated after de-

APPLES FOR VINEGAR.
Best Way of DispOsing of the Early
Varieties When They Can't he
Sold Mt a Profit.

Whenever there are more early ap-
pies than can profitably be sold, it is
a good plan to make cider from them,
to be later turned into vinegar. In
hot weather, all the stages of ferment-
alton are gone through very quickly.
1t cannot be kept sweet even three days
without beginning the alcoholic fer
mentation. Later in the season, fer
mentation goes on more slowly. But it
can be FASTENED by frequently chang
ing the cider from one vessel to an
other, exposing it as much as possible
to the air while doing so. One of the
most frequent ways is to pour the
partly fermented cider through coarse
shavings, taking care to use those
that have no offensive odor. Most
early apples are not rich in sugar. 1t
is good plan to add some sugar or
molasses to the cider when it is put
into barrels. Such cider in its alco-
holic state will be most dangerous
beverage, as the combination of malic
acid and alcohol makes the fighting
drunk kind of intox.cation. But after
it passes into the third stage, or ace
tuous fermentation, the more sweet
has been put in the cider the sharper
the vinegar will be. We have known
farmers who kept hand cider mill,
in which apples were ground all
through the year, making sweet cider
any time they wished it by pressing
through the old-fashioned cheese
presses that used to be in every farm
house.-American Cultivator.

STUDY YOUR COWS.
They Differ in Their Require ments in
the Way of Food Just Ms HUI
man Beings Do.

Maj. Henry E. Alvord, chief of the
dairy division, United States depart
ment of agriculture, says in the Dairy
Herd that cows differ in their tastes
and in their requirements in the way
of food just as human beings do, al
though perhaps not to the same ex-
tent. To feed all the cows in the herd
alike, day after day and month after
month, as is so often done, is an alb
surd and wasteful practice. Some are
sure not to get enough for the great
est profit, and others are likely to
get. more than they will use to ad-
vantage. This is to quantity only;
but differences in kind of feed may be
equally desirable. In thorough study
and comprehension Of the question of
feeding lies the greatest opportuni-
ties for the exercise of real economy
in the management of the dairy herd.
Each animal ought to be watched and
it's habits, appetite and condition
known at all times. If it leaves its
feed in the trough, or through lack of
taste for it restlessly throws it about,
at once shorten the supply of that
particular feed and try to find as sub
stitute something that the cow will
relish. It's distaste for that food it
has long been accustomed to is an evil
dence that the system is demanding
some change of diet rather than that
the COW has lost its appetite to hurt
full extent. Give her something she
will like and the appetite will be found
all right.

OUGHT TO LIVE A CENTURY.
II 1t Were Not for the Habit of Worry
ing Life and Happiness Would
Be Longer.

Almost al persons die of disappoint-
ment. personal, mental, or bodily toll
or accident. The passions kill men
sometimes even suddenly. The com.
mon expression ''choked with rage"
has little exaggeration in it, for even
though not always suddenly fatal
strong passions shorten life, says the
Boston Herald.
Strong-bodied men often die young,
and weak men usually live longer than
the strong, for the strong use their
strength and the weak have hardly any
to use-the latter take care of them.
selves, the former do not.
AS it is with the body, so it is with
the mind and the temperate strong
are apt to break, or, like the candle,
run; the weak burn out.
3 Man, of all animals, is one that sell
dom comes up to the average. He ought
to live 100 years, according to the
physiological law, but instead of that
he scarcely reaches an average of four
times the growing period. The rea-
son is obvious-man is not only the
most irregular and most Incorporate,
but the most laborious and hardwork-
ing of all animals.
He is almost the most irritable, and
there is reason to believe, though we
cannot tell what an animal secretly
feels, that more than any other ami
nal, man cherishes wrath to keep it
warm, and consumes himself with the
fire of his own reflections.

GOOD COUNTRY ROADS,
With Proper Drainage They Are
Easily Maintained at All Sea-
sons of the Year.

1.-THE great secret of success in road
making and bookkeeping is to drain
the roads, and keep the roads drained
by keeping the bitches open," writes
John Gilmer Speed on "How to Have
Good Country Roads," in the Ladies
Home Journal. "The old method was
to run plow through the side bitches
and throw the disturbed soil, sod and
all, in the middle of the road. There it
would stay till heavy rain came to
wash this soil back into the. bitches
and fill them up again. If there were
money enough this kind of thing would
be done over and over again, as often
as four times in year. Where there
were wet spots broken stone or gravel
would be placed in the road and left
for the passing wagon to wear this
metal into ruts. The money spent was
absolutely thrown away.
by the new process all the road
mender needs TO do is to provide ditch
es and outlets for them, and then so
shape the road that the water falling
In rainstorm will run off at once into
the bitches. The water must not be
suffered to run in the road, but off the
road. The rainfall, being thus simply
and effectively disposed of, becomes a
most beneficial instead of destruc-
tive agent; it cleans, and shapes, and
hardens the roadway, instead of wash
ing it away and deepening the ruts.
When there are wet places, such as
springs, in the roadway, gravel and
broken stone will not cure such things.
The water must be drained off under
meath the roadway and into the ditch
es by means of pipe or blind drains.
The whole thing is so simple that any
one can easily master the principles
and put the details into practical op-

The Busy GuillOtine.

In the classic argot of Paris the gull

and to be guillotined is ''espouser la
veuve" Ito marry the widow. These
marriages of late have been very fire.
quent and old NJ. Deibler, better known
as NJ. de Paris, the public executioner
of France, has been kept very busy.
In the last three weeks of June he ex-
ecuted three CRIMINALS, thus bringing
his record up to 522, which probably
no man this side of medieval times has
ever equaled. The first of the trio was
Georges Soulat, who in November last
assassinated an old man named
Rousseau. The execution took place in
Angouleme. Afewdays later NJ. Deibler
guillotined Carrara in Paris, and then
started for Vesoul,where he executed
Justin Priolet. Priolet murdered an
old woman at Volay, in the Upper
saone, cut up the body, put part of it
in a bed, and set fire to the house. Sta
tistics show that these revolving MUIR
ders, most of which are premeditated,
are steadily increasing in France.
This month NJ. de Paris will per-
form four executions, and if the
last half of the year shall prove as
fruitful as the first half, there will
have been performed more executions
than in any year since 1871. Then,
however, most of the executions that
followed the fail of the commune were
military, performed by a file of SOL
diers. AS far as the guillotine itself is
concerned its harvest of death in 1898
bids fair to exceed that of any year
since the French Revolutionary. Y.

Railway rr.xe, IN s,.,p.

The trains in Spain are certainly the
slowest in all creation. A rate of ten
or twelve miles an hour is considered
good average OF speed for everyday
travellers. When the Spanish officials
wish to put on style and show visiting
foreigners what they really can ac-
complish in the way of rapidity they
offer express trains. which dash madly
across the landscape at an average
rate of Is or 1S miles an hour. In one
way this proves an advantage, for the
traveller sees great deal more scenery
for his money han if he were rushed
past It more swiftly.
