A QUEER PREDICTION.-A remark
able old woman was Mrs. Betsy Jeasa-
mine, whose funeral was held In Water
town, N. Y, the other day. She had
lived ninety-four years, and up to
few minutes before her death was In
7 r., 11;,,o ;sons health and retained her
vigotEfs;. ,.N}tios perfectly. She asked
iiio" U"t IaculsS@ I'D remarked as che
for q glass of milk afUSSs,wlass to her
handed back the empty sss ssssS 9
son, THAT Is very good milk. II Il
the last shall ever drink. for I shall
be dead in an hour" She died before
the hour was up. Mrs. Jessamine was
married when only child in Canada,
and her eldest daughter, now Mrs.
Susan Woodford, was born when her
mother was only eleven years and nine
months old. The daughter is now
eighty.two years of age. The eldest
Rrandchild is forty-three and the eldest
great grandchild twenty.six. More
than fifty descendants, including
eleven children and score each OF
grandchildren and great grandchildren
were at the funeral, Mrs. Jessamine's
husband, Thomas, died several years
ago. They had lived In Watertown
thirty-fve years.

the packing houses of the west. Our
nome market Is well supplied by our
farmers with almost everything that
ls good to eat. Beef, pork, butter,
cnlckens, eggs, potatoes, turnips, cab.
| oages, beans and apples are in great
| abundance. OF course we can't have
mutton, for the negroes must have
| dogs and tho candidates must have
negro votes. l lost eight fine Merinos
In one night and my neighbor, Mr..
Dobbins, lost three hundred in five
years, and quit tho business. But with
all our draw backs, our people are on
the upgrade. Seven cents cotton has
helped greatly, and if our farmer will
cut down the acreage still more, it will
bring cents next year and leave more
land for wheat and cora. The South
ern farmers ought to form mig hty
trust and reg ulate acreage and price
Our own county could regulate itself
by organizing and combining with the
local banks. Our average crop is 10000
bales, and at 8 cents pound would
bring 100000. About one-half OF this
could be carried and held by the more
wealthy producers. Tho other 5000
bales could got an advance Of 6 cents q
pound. or $50 d bale, from the banks
on warehouse certificates. This would
take only $l50,0O0. Even $25 bale
would pay the cost OF production and
leave the margin for the producer,
and thia would require from the banks
only s12G 900. If every county was to
do this y l0,O0O,OO0 bale crop would
jump to : cents within sixty days.
That's the way to meet trust with trust
and defy the spectators. Why can't
1t be done?

How CURIOSITY WAS SATIsFIED.-
There Is handsome young woman in
Washington who had the misfortune
to fall downstairs few years ago, so
badly fracturing one of her knees thet
the limb had to be amputed. The
young woman, who walks with the aid
of crutches, is not in the least sensitive
about the matter.
One afternoon recently she got on an
T. street car, bound for the hill, and
found herself in the same seat with O.
sharp eyed woman who seemed to take
q whole lot of interest in her and her
crutches. She scrutinized the young
woman's face carefully for couple OF
minutes, then turned her attention to
the workmanship of the crutohes,
which she took the liberty to handle
curiously. Then she looked the young
woman over again, and leaned over to
her. Do you mind telling mo how
you lost your leg ?" she asked, raspily.
mot in the least" responded the
young woman, amiably, ~ lost it in
the battle of Gettysburg."

make l,200 revolutions o minute. He
WAS leaning over the machine when

wounded over the bridge OF the nose
and the wound which was o cut an
inch wide, was dressed as any ordinary
wound. One OF tho chisels was found,
but the other one was not. A few
days later Mr.. Barker suffered partial
paralysis and was taken to St. Joseph's
hospital. There Professor Tiffany OK.
