Granville flasher who lived in Mis-
sissippi in 1861. appointed his Brother
Samuel his agent TO collect and trans
init TO him his share of an estate in
Virginia. Samuel Informed his brother
in 1851 that he had effected a division
of the property and that he expected To
get the money III Il short time. that he
did not desire 10 Keep 1t and would
write as soon as he received 1t. There
WAS no further communication between
the brothers. Samuel died in February,
1894 and in December. 1895. Granville
filed his bin charging that Samuel
should account 10 him rs his agent or
trustee, and pay what was due him.
Samuers administrator ana widow and
children We're made parties. The de-
PENDANTS pleaded that the cause of ac-
ton did NOT accrue within 90 years be-
fore this suit was brought
The lower court decreed in favor OF
plaintiff ana defendants appealed. The
court says:
We arc OF opinion that this decree
was erroneous. The statute Of lmitn-
tons was - bar to the action. See
Southern Lightning Rod Company v.
Clebun, 80 Gu ~ In chat case the
law. who has collected money for a
client ana retains II, is a trustee. The
court snid AN attorneys possession
Of the money of his client is more like

He has no right TO control aud man
age it as Il trustee in possession. In
this regard his poWcrs do not extend
beyond those Of an attorucy-in fact APP

AMAINE BEAR STORY.

An old she bear had been killing
sheep and soaring. the women and
children in a Maine township, and a
farmer, who was dead shot, took
an afternoon off 10 hunt the animal.
While passing through a blackberry
patch, be found a fat cub, and after
short chase, caught it in his arms.
The little fellow fought and bit until
the man choked and cnffed it into
subsection, and then the cnb cried
for it's mother. She came, and the
hunter acted quickly. Placing the
cub between his knees, be took up
his rifle and waited. The mother
bear had evidently seen firearms, for
she halted at respectable distance.
The man sQueezrd the cub with his
knees until it howled, and at this the
mother threw away her caution and
dashed on until rifle ball finished
her carer. The hunter went home
wi !! his prize, and after claiming
the cub in the barn. got the old bear
skin and tanned it in a rough way.
Then it was spread on the fl or by
the side Of his sisters bed. One
night about a week later, when the
young women was about 10 retire
for the night. she heard a commo-
tion under the bed, and saw some
thing hairy moving around under
meath. She screamed at tho top OF
her voice; her brother came running
and pulled ont another cub. 1t was
mate to the one in the barn; and
it had smelled out is mothers pelt.

Story of a Slave.

To be bound hand and foot for
years by the chain OF disease is the
worst form of slavery. George ID.
Williams oGManchester, Mich, tells
how a slave was made fee. He
says. "My wife has been 50 helpless
for FIVE years that she could not
turn over in bed alone. Af,er using
two bottles of Elect ic Buffers, she
is wonderfully improved and, able to
do her own work" This supreme
remedy Tor female diseases quickly
cures nervousness, sleepl.ssness
melancholy, headache, backsche
fainting and dizzy spells. This mir
acle working medicine is a godsend
to the weak, sickly, run down peo-
ple.. Every bottle guaranteed. Only
SO cents. Sold at Matthaci's Phar-
macy, 1870 N. Queen street.

VEGETABLES FOR THE TABLE.

The onion was slipped by the
Ancient Egyptians.
Asparagus was fashionable 900
years before the Christian era.
Parsnips were much thought OF by
the ancieat worshipers of Venus.
1t was the custom of the Greeks
to offer beets on a silver ira p to APP
ollo 10 his temple at Delphi.
Lord Bacon loved the onions so
that he declared the rose would be
sweeter plan ted in bed of them.
Asparagus promotes the appetite
while furnishing little nourishment
and is good substitute for clans.
Egg-plants with the inside scoop.
ee out and filed with bread crumbs
and butter, are favorite vegetables
for the table.
Tha caulifower is patrician
among vegetables and was taken
from it's Ceprus home in Italy and
England in the reign of Elizabeth
Parsley should always garnish a
dish containing onions, as it takes
away the odor most people object
to. 1t even prevents the aftertaste
if eaten by the individual who loves
onions and must have them.

Preserving Eggs.

Prot. Ladd, Of North Dakota Col
lcge of Agriculture, in bulletin No.
35, gives the following directions
for the use of water glass in keeping
eggs. Water glass is silicate OF
coda or silicate of potash, the former
being chtarer. 1t is rot expensive.
Ii wooden kegs or barrels are to
be used in which to pack The eggs,
they should first be thoroughly
scalded with boiling water to sweet
en- and purify them.
To each ten quarts OF water,
which should first be boiled and
then cooled, add one quart of water
glass. Pack the eggs in the vessel,
and pour solution over them, cover
ing well.
Keep the eggs in cool, dark place
A dry, cool cellar is good place.
II the eggs are kept in too warm
a place the silica,e is deposited and
the Eggs are not properly protected.
Do not wash the eggs before pack
