1t having been some time since I
have wrote to you in the interest of
the camp, will now endeavor to do
so.
Everything goes along in the same
way at the camp and the more used
to the weather we get the more drill
we get. On Wednesday of last week
while number of comrades nd my
self were in bathing near Alexander
bridge, we heard harsh calls for help
down the stream.and we at once hur-
'ried to point about a quarter of
mile from the brid ge where we saw a
crowd in search OF the body of a
young man by the name of Snure, of
Co. c., Winona, who with two COM
panions, had went for a bath. Im-
mediately after roll call Snure and the
two other fellows strolled off towards
the river. with the intention of learn
ing to swim. None of the boys had ever
had much experience in the water
and Snure to show the boys where he
would be at the front took the lead
and jumped into the river. The riv-
er is some ten or fifteen feet deep in
places and he had the misfortune to
get into one Of the deep places, and
after struggle of a few minutes,
without any one to assist him he went
down, his last breath had been drawn
and one who had left his home
against the wishes of his parents Was
no more. Scarcely had he been un-
der water when the alarm was given
and the hospital corps together with
nearly every one who could venture
} into the water was at the river. Search
lights were thrown out and skirmish
line drawn up across the river and at
9:15 the body was found it having
been in the water one hour and forty
five minutes. The hospital corps un-
der direction of DR.. W. H. Rowe of st.
James took charge of the body and
worked over it for two hours but all
was in vain, life was no more and one

city. Among more than dozen il
lustrations is good map of the fam

the Fourth of July lends interest to
the article on "The Making Of Fire

certainly be considered good auth

The Congressional delegates met

Congressman McCleary's picture
occupied the place where William
Henry Eustis' did at the late county
convention, and when L: ?. Hunt
hung it up there was faint applause.
II anyone OF the delegates had a
hammer about his person he kept 1t
concealed. Some Of the friends OF
Mr.. McCleary, however, were fearful
that someone would spring an oppos-
ing candidate and they were op the
anxious seat until the man who is a
gold man was named for the seat in
the lower house."
Now the work OF swinging the op,
position into line will commence. If
those opposed to McCleary permit
themselves to be lined up after the
way the candidate has knowingly and
intently deceived them, they have no
cause for complaint, as to the short
comings OF any candidate that may
hereafter be forced upon them.

Life of Women in Venezuela.

Miss Stevens, whose travels in Ven:
ezuela have given her a.. insight into
the life of the people there, told some
interesting anecdotes of the country
in her talk before the professional
Woman's League recently.
'"Ehe climate ef that region is not,
as one would suppose" she said,
Severely tropical. The summers are
not, indeed, at severe rs those in this
latitude, but the summer lasts the
whole ybar, and for that reason iBy
perhaps; more enervating. To the
warm climate may be traced the habit
practised by the women OF excessive
powdering of their faces, which is
one of the first things foreigner
notices. Every one knows how cool
ingly refreshing a sweet-smelling face
powder is on hot day. Another sim
gular custom is the Venezuelan's love
for riew shoes. she buys tie finest
she can afford, and will dance them
out in night. She must also have q
new pair to wear each time that she
attends mass, and, however expensive
these are, she will not appear on the
street in them a second time. Upon
returning home she will break down
the heel and shuttle about the house
in them as house slippers.
Everybody dances, with or without
music, but sort Of rhythm or time is
is produced sometimes by shaking
peas in gourd or by the clapping of
hands. Even the men in the cafes
sometimes get up O dance among
themselves and manage with this cer-
tainly impromtu kind of music. The
mode of dancing is not like OURS. For
instance the partners merely take each
other by both hands, OF by the elbows,
although the senoritas sometimes are
persuaded to dance with Americans
after the American fashion.
"Besides the beauty of the climate,
the charm Of living is increased by an
absence of all pests. There are no
flies, no mosquitoes, no rats or yer.
min; nor ate there any skin or throat
diseases. But there is form of i'll
ness which attacks infants, and from
which about only ten Per cent. of the
children recover. It is kind of in
digestion caused by the kind of bread
they eat.
"It is land without clubs, where
bicycles are unknown, but it is q
peaceful and picturesque country, we'll
worth knowing better than it is now
known. New York Tribune.

Grating Cherry and Plum Trees.

Both cherry ana plum trees are
reckoned difficult to graft, and as
while small the work can be easily
performed by budding in summer,
there is comparatively little of graft
ing done. But if the gratis are cut
early and packed in moist sand, so as
to keep the buds dormant it is no
more difficult to graft cherry or plum
than other kinds of trees. Both cherry
and plum trees put out leaves and
blossoms earlier than the large fruits.
No graft can be made to grow if the
bud on its terminal is already swelled
and nearly ready to burst into leaf.
1t takes time to effect the union of
the graft with stock which is neces-
sary to keep the leaf from withering
quickly if it starts too soon. In graft
ing cherry trees care should be taken
to graft only Mahaleb on Mahaleb
stock and never on the Morello, which
should also be grated on it's own
stock. They are distinct species, and
the habit of growth in each is differ
ent from the other We have seen
such grating successfully done, but
the union of graft and stock was less
perfect than if each graft had been
set on its own species. Nature thus
sets her mark of disapproval upon
hybridism even in plants.

Stylish Belts.

Leather belts have steadily de-
creased in favor for several seasons,
and this year they are not worn at all.
The belt adjusts itself to the new
buckle, which is most gorgeous af-
fair, and calls for ribbon or velvet,
usually of black. The buckle c5mes
in two, sometimes four, pieces. The
front piece is the ordinary clasp, only
much narrower md longer than ever
before. The back piece is facsimile
of the front, except it has an attach
ment for holding up the skirt. The
side pieces are like the old slides.
One is entirely unnecessary, but is
there anyway. The buckles are often
of steel with mock turquoises inset.

The Queen Regent of Spain.

The Queen Regent Maria Christina
is considered the most influential per-
sonage in Spain during the present
uncertain condition of that country's
fortunes.
Her subjects say that to her conser-
vatism, tact and sagacity are due, in
large measure, the maintenance of
peace between Spain and the United
States. She assisted in facilitating
the. change of ministry that caused
Sagasta to recall Weyler from Cuba.
The regent is a daughter of the
Archduke Karl Ferdinand and his Sec
ond wife, the Archduchess Elizabeth,
and is by birth an Austrian grand
duchess. In her youth she was gifted
with great beauty and amiability, and
in later life showed that she possessed
the keen intelligence and judgment Of
her house, the Hapsburg Lorraine.
Her son, Alfonso XIII, was born
shortly after his fathers death, in
1886, and during his minority she has
possessed all the power OF a queen,
and the education of the young king
has been her chief care. Her great
ambition is said to be to preserve the
monarchy for her boy.

wintcr-Bred Parasites.

It is we'll to look to animals stabbed
to see if there is any vermin crawling
upon them. In most cases there will
be, unless the animal is fattening. In
winter the hair is thicker than at any
other season. When it begins to fall
out use the currycomb freely, and as
each handful of hair comes out rub
over the place a weak emulsion of
kerosene oil and soap. Only n weak
emulsion will be needed,as the slight
est amouLt of oil on the sides of the
lice will close their breathing holes
and suhocate them. When cattle have
a run out of doors in summer they rid
themselves of lice by rolling in the
dust, which clogs up the lice just as
the kerosene emulsion does.

A Good Remedy for Burns.

If our readers are not familiar with
the fact that common baking soda
(bicarbonate OF soda) is particularly
good application to any comparatively
slight burn or scald, then, if used
when such an accident occurs, they
will probably receive the full value Of
n years subscription to our paper.
The way to use it is to sprinkle the
burn as we'll as the cloth to be ap-
piled, freely with the soda, wrapping
the injured part with the cloth and
keeping it well soaked with cold wa
ter. 1t may be we'll to repeat the ap-
plication, as the water washes the
soda away. BY this treatment scalds
that are pretty severe are relieved
from pain in the course of six to ten
hours. It gives relief at once.
Paste this up in the kitchen, if you
are forgetful, and be sure to have
some soda on hand for burns only.
When you need it you will want it
very badly. The writer knows from
experience. Farm, Field and Fire

Facts 10 Be Remembered.

All dry materials should be sifted
before measuring.
A cup holding just half pint is. the
standard measuring cup.
A cupful is all the cup will hold
without running over-full to the
brim. A scant cupful is within a
fourth of an inch of the top.
A tablespoonful of flour, sugar or
butter is rounded tablespoonful.
A teaspoonful of salt, pepper and
spice is level teaspoonful.
A heaped spoonful is all the spoon
will hold.
Half n spoonful is measured by di-
viding through the middle length.

BETTER Cattle Wanted.

Gradually return or get rid
of the common or plain class of cattle
by crossing the breed with the best
grades to. be obtained, and continue
this cross breeding until we have
nothing in the country but the half,
three-quarter and thoroughbreds, the
latter being desirable for breeding
purposes principally. as this animal is
not so profitable to the producer as
the half OF three-quarter strain, which,
generally speaking, is better pro
portioned and more desirable animal
for food than the thoroughbred.
Prepare and market your beef steer
either as a yearling or two-year-old;in
no case keep it beyond three years.
1t is during these years that the sap
is in the beef, and if fat the animal IS
in the best condition for the market
he will ever be or you can make him.
There is no surplus bone or fat that
natures after the third year that adds
to this marketable value, and then
again after that time greater guam
tity and heavier feed is required. The
heavy cuts of beef that were once III
demand are fast losing their prestige,
as now the general inquiry and de-
mand of the consumer is for prime
young light weights of beef. Evi-
dences of this may frequently be seen
in the market quotations of cattle
sales, wherein prime yearlings are
sold at the same price per pound as
prime four year-old matured and fin
ished cattle which have cost the pro-
ducer goodly sum per animal more
to make.-President Thompson be-
fore the National Live Stock Ex-

given up all hope of being well
again when I read of the great good

simply past belief. After taking four
bottles of Vegetable Compound and
using three packages of Sanativc Wash
