pieht DAYS on the Witness Stand.

"The longest time ever saw one
witness on the stand" said a man from
Hardinsburg, KY, was during the life
of Judge Kincheloe, who was regarded
as one of the ablest members of the
Breckenridge bar. He was honored
by his people to the high office to
which he aspired, and he was always
respected in the highest as man of
learning and a ripe scholar. During
his active practice land titles were
much unsettled in our country, and
some of the most important suits came
up over titles. In the case Of Askins
VS.. Askins, in which Judge Kincheloe
and the late George w. Williams, Of
Greensboro, were the counsel, the TAX
ing fof testimony consumed two
months. It was then that Mr.. Askins
was on the stand continuously for over
eight days, and when the judge had
questioned him from every conceivable
point Of view, he said: We'll, MIR. AS
kins. you are excused, but I'm afraid
we've pumped you so dry you won't
have anything to tell your wife and
family when you get home. The wit
ness retired badly confused. but evil

CHEAP GRAIN BINS.

able First obtain the requisite NUM-
Der of dry goods Or grocery boxes, all OF
the same dimensions. Place these boxes
side by side, then nail together with
wire nails long enough to reach
through and clinch. Next attach a
cover to the top of the bin thus made,
and your work is done. Of course each
box should be of size sufficient to hold
all the grain Of any one kind that must
be kept ON hand, but this need not oc-
casion any alarm, for boxes of every
size and shape mentionable can be pro-
cured at grocery and dry goods stores
for merely nominal sum.

Washing Black Hose.

Never wash black hose in water in
which white clothes have been washed,
because the lint will stick to them and
soon make them look grey. The best
way to wash black hose is to take them
by themselves and wash in ammonia,
water with some good soap. Rinse i'm
very blue water, and hang wrong side
out in place sheltered from the sun,
but where they will dry quickly. Al
ways shake and brush stockings welR
before putting them into the water, and
they have mind to streak, the streaks,
will be ON the inside, where they will
not show.

But here hand came down upon his

away with each other, with pistols for
two and coffee for four" in their faces.
But this was eighteen hundred and
nlnety-seyen, and much is thought of
documentary evidence. In a retired
spot, where they could not be over
heard, the hapless Perlinas letters
were produced. Poor little Kolt read
with the bitter agony of youth the wo-

after his supposed death, and old
Downhill gave a groan over another
buried hope, as he read the lines in
which he was set down as superan-
nuated creature only taken notice of

After this the two gentlemen shook
hands. They mad no quarrel with each
other now. Neither of them wanted to
marry Perlina Milkin. She received two
little notes that evening telling her so.
That was last summer. This year
Perlina will not go to Saratoga at all,

her chambermaid, it is matter #

involved. This will answer several in
Quiries. Yes, we advise every one to
sleep between blankets and nave fan
mel night clothes as well. Never sleep
in room where the blaze of lamp is
turned low. 1t does not consume the
gas, and this is poisonous. Especially
should this rule be observed in a sick
room. If you must have light, and
it annoys the patient put a screen in
front. Yes, catnip is good for nervous
young babies, but for the spasms Of
childhood nothing equals gelseminunK

mine Of the South. If it grows near
you, about July gather a handful of the
root and make strong tea; four or five
drops of this every hour or two is suf-
ficient for three or four years old

the sight so that one object will appear
as two. 1t is poisonous and should not
be used strong enough to produce this

QUEER FLORIDA CRABS.
Have Peculiar Shells and Feed on Birds
and Insects.

Have Peculiar Shells and Feed on Birds
and Insects.
Haunting the rookeries of the birds
in the southern part Of the peninsula
Is large blue crab. He makes a hole
in the ground, usually under log, and
when he hears a noise elevates his head
and protrudes his eyes with startling
effect. He is able to take care of him
self, for his pincers are powerful and
his shell is hard. He is often as large
as a saucer.
There is perpetual war between
him and the birds. He wanders among
the nests at night and appropriates the
bits of fish left by the nestlings and
the young themselves if he can find
mother off her guard. But he has te
be sly or he is killed by the stroke O;
bayonet bill and eaten in his turn.
When a plume hunter has driven Of
or destroyed the parents Of rookery
these crabs swarm forth and devour
the orphan young in short order. But
while the mothers are allowed to do
their duty the crabs are ideal scaven-
gers and devour the refuse as well as
the insects that infest the bird cities.
Their bright colors, like those of the
tiger, make them less dangerous than
their appetites would otherwise be.
There is a little purple crab along
the coast of Southern Florida which
seems to feed almost entirely upon the
fruit of the cactus. This 1t so much re-
sembles that you are suddenly surpris-
ed to see one of the succulent little
balls move away from your fingers be-
fore you are aware that it is alive.
Step back and the crab will resume its
place, and seem to be as curious about
you as you are about him.
One Of the most beautiful shells found
along our coast is that Of a large snail
which climbs certain trees and grows
delicately fat on the young birds. The
shell is as thin as tissue paper, oddly
curved and almost as transparent as
the finest glass. It belongs to the FAM
| lily of edible snails so priced as del
| icacy on the coast of France, and II
properly prepared makes delicious
dish. It is most abundant about New
River Inlet, where the slight shake Of
tree about sunset will bring shower
of them to the ground. The breakage
of a shell seems to be of little trouble
to the snail-he repairs the damage
and moves on.-Jacksonville Citizen.

Heat for Hot Houses.

The old-fashioned coal furnace with
f1ue is now out Of date for cheap and
safe production of heat for hothouses.
It is almost always used by beginners,
because it's first cost is less. But the
coal fire is not always reliable, and the
heat can not be regulated as to preserve
an even temperature. Sooner Or later
pipes with hot water will be used, and
In this way the dollhouse can be saved
from either extreme. Too many forget
that in growing vegetables in winter
under glass an excess Of heat may
prove as serious an evil as frost, as 1t
is harder to recover from.-American

Supports for Peas.

The expense of supports for peas is a
detriment to their cultivation, and for
that reason many prefer the dwarf va
rieties, which, though early, are not as
prolific as the taller growing kinds. 1t
has been suggested that 3-inch mesh
Of woven wire be used in the rows for
peas, having the rows run north and
south, planting early peas on the east
SIDE and later kinds on the west. When
the peas are removed set out large pot
grown tomato plants. The wire should
last for several years.

Alfalfa for Pou1try.

Every one who has used alfalfa clover
in winter, or at any other time, knows
the great value of it as a poultry food
and an egg producer. 1t is easily pre-
pared in winter when the hay is dry.
With little pounding it is astonishing
to see how little bulk there will be Of
the stems This chaff, we'll sprinkled
with bran or shorts and scalded with
hot water, makes a feed for poultry. in
winter that may be equaled, but it is
doubtful If it can be excelled.-Kansas

Grain Bins.

In most cases feed chests with COM

are necessary conveniences in both the
barn and stable, but often the con-
struction Of such a bin is matter OF
considerable expense and labor If the
ordinary course is adhered to. With a
view to assisting farmers whose bank
accounts do not permit extravagances

Ginseng Culture.

Every year there is new interest in
ginseng culture, yet l have never
known nor ever heard of man who
made any money growing it, outside of
those who have seed to sell. 1t is true
that the Chinese esteem it very highly
as medicine, and pay large prices for
it, but these prices are quoted because
of the scarcity of the tubers. If any
considerable increase in the available
supply We're to be put on the market
it would result in great reduction in
the price. When some man comes for
ward and gives evidence that he has
actually grown crop of ginseng and
received at the rate of from $1,000 to
$4,000 an acre for it there will be am
pie opportunity to go into the business.

Farm Exner1menting,

Experiment work ON the farm may be
performed on small plots at a moderate
cost. There is no system of education
that can equal the work of the farmer
himself in experimenting, as soils diff
fer, and work done on one farm may
not apply to another. When farmer
begins to experiment he finds out
where he made mistakes, and when
mistakes can be avoided the greatest
difficulties will have been overcome.

How to Grow Asparagus.

A row of asparagus 100 feet long will
afford an abundant supply for an ordin-
ary family. The best way to make a
bed is to dig a trench 2 feet deep and
2 feet wide. Fill in with 10 inches OF
clean horse manure, and on this SOW
mixture of 25 pounds of bone dust and
40 pounds of sulphate of potash.
Cover with six inches of rich dirt, and
then place on this dirt two-year-old
roots, placing the roots two feet apart,
as they win thicken in rows in years to
come. Cover the roots with two or
three inches of dirl, and after the
plants are we'll up and grown above
the surface fill the trench with equal
parts of well-rotted manure and rich
earth. The object of using so much
manure is that it will be difficult to ap-
ply it deep after the bed is Established.
Common salt may be used on the sur
face every year. Mound the rows every
year, so that the plants will not be
grown on a level, but in long hfM.
Soapsuds are especially beneficial to
asparagus and celery, and when put
ting in the manure and earth suds
should be used freely. Make a drain
by the side of the row and let all suds
flow down the drain.

Biggest Flower of All.

The largest flower in the world grows
on the Island of Mindanao, one of the
Philippine group. 1t was first discov-
cred there some years ago by Ger
man explorer. 1t is a fye-petaled bios
som, nearly yard wide. AT distance
the buds look like giant cabbage heads.
A single flower has been known to
weigh twenty 1.-TWO pounds. The natives
call it the bolo. Specimens sent to Eu-
rope were recognized to be of the spe-
cies Raftiesion, plant discovered in
Sumatra, and named after the English
governor of that island, Sir Stamford
Raff1es. The bolo is only to be found in
the neighborhood of the crater of Apo,

the level of the sea.-Philadelphia
