STORIES OF ROBERT BONNER.
His ecrupulous Exactness in Matter,
Invoivinu pavvnent. ~ Mouev


1uvolvinR Payments OF Money.
Robert Bonners personal characters
tics were@spronouneed, and he carried
most of his principles to an extreme
point. His constant refusal to borrow
money has been mentioned many times,
and the extent to which he carried this
Is exempli6eds by many stories that are
told Of him. He paid off his employees
every Saturday night, whether their nom-
inal salary ran by the week or month.
He always tried, too, to give exact
change to each man, although he did not
have it all counted out beforehand. Very
frequently he would find himself short
Of small change in paying his stablemen
off. and he would sometimes ask one Of
pened that the son did not have enough
change in his pocket, Mr.. Bonner would
not accept the loan even OF Il couple of
dollars over night, but would rather give
g S. bill for So in change. Although con
fined to his bed on the Saturday night
before his death, Mr.. Bonner insisted
that his son should pay all of the en-
ployes as usual.
A story that Mr.. Bonner was once
turned out of school for defending
schoolmate against a charge of which
he was innocent has been published, but
is not exactly true. Mr.. Bonner was
never turned out of any school, but he
did cause q good deal Of excitement in
one. His older brother was about to be
innocent. when Robert, "the old man."
restrained the teacher by force. Both
boys then remained out of school, with
the approval of their parents, until the
teacher apologized.
Mr.. Bonner made many close friends
anmong the well-known men of his time.
One Of his most intimate friends was
Henry Ward Beecher, who was a priv
iieged character about the Ledger Of
nee. Mr.. Bonner's private office was
sacred ground to almost everyone else
1t was always piled high with documents,
manuscripts, memoranda and exchanges
which. Mr.. Bonner used stoutly to de-
clare he had put in order within a few
days. Mr.. Beecher came in one day
when Mr.. Bonner was out, and left, as
record of his presence, sheet of fools
cap across which he had written with the
H. w. B."
Mr.. Bonner was repeatedly urged to
write an autobiography, but, while he
never actually refused to do SO, he never
began it. If an authoritative biography
done by Rev. DR.. Mcintosh, who has
thought of the matter frequently Mr..
Bonner had large collection of letters
and memoranda. One of his most treas
ured souvenirs was the original manu-
script of Edward Everett's speech to the
women of America on the purchase of
Mount Vernon. Mr.. Everett gave him
the manuscript bound in leather. As a
sort of preface appears copy of letter
inviting Mr.. Everett to speak in this
city: 1t is signed by a score of New
9ork's most prominent citizens, but Mr..
Bonner's name is not among them, al
though the original letter was in his
handwriting.-New York Sun.

ion. sometimes the latent force lies
asleep for years until something happens
to call it forth. And then, as a rule, it
is merely a bent, bias, which leads a
man on, step by step, gives him as much
encouragement as he needs, but does not
in its early stages assume the form of a
positive vocation. 1t seems to be at first
largely matter of faith, and thus the
young disciple finds it hard to explain
to others the inward urging which he
feels toward some particular VOCATION;
and perhaps he is obliged to bear some
criticism for his reluctant attitude
toward other, perhaps more lucrative,
callings. Even he himself will at times
feel sense of impotence and despair and
have fears that he is on a false trial.
But again the suggestion-the whispers
of mans true vocation will be heard,
and in spite Of himself he picks up the
thread and presses onward.

PURIFIES AND COOLS THE AIR.

Austrian Engineer Discovers q New
Matter Which He Calls "Electroid."
Francis Rychnowski, mechanical en-
gineer Of Lemberg, Austria, has discov-
cred strange and very subtle matter,
which he has called ''electroid," because
of certain affinity with electricity. Elec-
troid, produced by special apparatus
dissolution of certain matters under the
influence of the electric current. 1t
makes noise, and at the same time re-
freshing scent and cool breeze are expe-
perienced. This discovery induced Mr..
Rychnowski to make machine capable
Of refreshing the air to such q degree
that those present during the experiment
had the feeling that the window was
open, although this was not the case.
Electroid is very subtle matter, but
1t seems to be fluid, and it can be gath
cred and preserved; while falling on a
plate it reflects in a shape Of shining
sheaves.
The commission appointed by the Aus
trian government to investigate this dis
coyery reported that under the influence
Of electroid, plants grow rapidly, and the
buds of flowers unclose while one is look
ing at them. Electroid annihilates mi
crobes, and thus preserves organic mat
ter. These are physiological influences
of electroid. Among mechanical phe-
nomena the commission reported that the
influence of electroid is not stopped even
by brick wall and glass; that ii. at
tracts solid bodies and makes them shine
Ike moonlight-it makes them move and
attract other bodies; finally, that it acts
on Photographic plates and produces
sharp and distinct lines such as were
formerly possible only with very power
full lens. The conclusion Of the commits
sion was that Mr.. Rychnowski's discov-
cry will play great part if applied to
industry, as is the case with the discov-
covery Of his countryman, Jan Szczepan-

Culture of Tom atOes.

The general culture Of the tomato is
simple enough. On high, well-manured,
sandy land facing south, and planted
three feet apart each way, tomatoes will
give the heaviest crops with little trouble
except to keep the ground we'll cultivated.
Where u limited number Is grown for
family use it is better to train them on
better and is not liable to rot and crack,
as when allowed to sprawl over the
ground; they also look ornamental. They
may also be supported by placing brush
or branch under the plants to allow a
circulation of air. 1t will be we'll to thin
the shoots where they are too dense.
They require heat, moisture and nourish-
ment, and should not be planted out I'M
til about May Is, or when there is no
danger from frosts. 1t is a good plan
to make second or late planting by the
middle or end of June to keep up full
supply to the end Of the season. 1t will
greatly help to bring the plants into ear
~ bearing and sustain them during the
season if shovelful of old manure is
put in each hole, or better still for this
purpose would be half-shovelful of the
new soil.-American Gardening.
Feeding for Beef.
The amount Of profit made in feeding
cattle for beef is generally not very great
for the money invested; yet we would feel
lost if we did not have a bunch of steers;
to feed i'll the winter. 1t is true that
there is work connected with feeding cat
tie but it is work that seems to us like
pleasure. And we have never fed a
bunch that we could not count some prof
it in money besides the manure which is
quite an item. To feed cattle success.
full y, says writer in Commercial Ga
zette, we must have regular habits and
feed and water every day about the same
time. We begin stabling our cattle in the
fall, as soon as the. weat her begins to get
cool. This keeps their hair from getting
rough. We begin feeding grain and dry
feed before pasture fails and in this way
keep our cattle from losing any. We
never aim to crowd their appetite in
starting; in fact, we think it Improbable
to feed too heavy on grain at any time
We feed corn, mill feed, fodder and clov-
er hay. We shell most of our corn but
never grind any of it but follow with
hogs. We slop our hogs on mill feed
twice day and if there is not sufficient
corn in the droppings feed them as much
more as they will eat but never more
and we find that the hogs soon become as
contented as the cattle. Calves that we
r4lse should be hurried to early maturity.
we know of calf that was sold for
beef this winter that was less than a
year old that brought $34.S5. There is
good profit in such calves as this. In
buying feeders select such as are inclined
to get fat on pasture. If possible, get
grade Shorthorns for they are worth 80
cents more on the 100 pounds than scruh
cattle and it is very few JERSEY cattle
that can be fed for beef at a profit.
