Blind Man Who Finds Work to DO
Which Causes Seeing Men to Marvel.

Which Causes Seeing Men to MarveI.
James T.. Judge of 2222 Clinton ave-
nue. enjoys a singularly interesting dls-
tinction-that of being totally bllnd anu
at the same time one of the best steam
filters in the city. Mr.. Judge has been
blind for thirty-six years. His amlction
came as the result of an explosion ac-
eident in the copper mines of upper
Michigan.
He was working as a printer on the
Cleveland Plain Dealer when the war
broke out. During the second battle OF
Bull Run he distinguished himself FOR
bravery and recently received a natter
ing communication from Br1gadlef
General J. w. Coppinger. who was
wounded in that battle and left on the
field. Mr.. Judge remained by the sue
of the wounded man. under heavy hre
all the time. and finally removed him TO
a place of safety. Later on General
Conninper was taken to Washington by
Mr.. Judge.
Soon after having received his DIS
charge Mr. Judge went into the upper
Wisconsin copper country, where ne
soon secured employment In one Oh the
mines. 1t was there the accident oc-
cured which deprived him Of his sign'.
He was at once removed to st. MARY
hospital in Milwaukee, where, II tue
course of events, he became a steam
filter in most peculiar way.

Warm Shelter.

The heaviest tax farmer pays is the
one he inficts upon himself by econ
omizing in room in the stables. He
keeps too many animals in proportion
to space, and they do not thrive. In
connection with this is the tax paid in
food by keeping stock in quarters that
are not warm. In the winter season
the animal is warmed by the food, and
the greater the exposure to cold the
more food required Warm shelter saves
food and also prevents the chilling Of
young animals and the checking Of
their growth at an early age:

Profitable Small Fruits.

Some of the small fruits that offer in
ducements for growing them are entire

Of awberries, blackberries and rasp-
berries reaching the markets, currants
and gooseberries come in small lots, and
sell almost on sight. These fruits may
require a little more care than some
kinds, but it is the labor that gives the
price, and the grower should produce
anything that pays well for labor.

NEW SPEAKER OF THE HOuS

General David b. Henderson,, Who Has
Taken Tom Reeds Place.
The man who has succeeded Thomas
B. Reed as Speaker Of the House of
Representatives is far different kind
of man than the big fellow from Maine.
Reed Is imperious and satirical He
seems to take keen delight in saying
things that hurt others. On the other
hand, Gen. Henderson, the new Speak
er, is probably the finest type of the
traditional Hail fellow, we'll met" that
has ever been seen in public life.
Boundless good nature, a fondness for
the society Of his fellow men of high
and low degree, limitless tact, the live
lest sympathies and fine, healthy
manliness are some Of the attributes
that have won him the affectionate re-
gard of all his colleagues on both sides
of the chamber. No one ever thinks OF
finding fault with him, though things
which he has done would bring upon
others the severest criticism.
The qualities which have given Hen
derson his popularity can hardly be
said to be those most useful to the
wielder Of the Speakers gavel in the
lower house Of Congress, and yet some
of them are essential to the success of
great presiding officer. Henderson,
writes a Washington correspondent,
has never been regarded either as a
notable parliamentarian Or as debater

The WAY to Fold a Coat.

To fold mans coat, lay it out per-
fectly fat, with the wrong side down;
the sleeve should be spread out smooth
ly, and then folded back to the elbow
until each end of the sleeve is even
with the collar. Fold the revers back
and then double the coat over, folding
it directly in the center seam and
smoothing it out carefully so that there
may be no wrinkles. Unless space is
limited, do not turn up the tails when
folding a coat.-Ladies' Home Journal.

Curing Meat ON the Farm.

Curing Meat ON the Farm.
Kill your hogs early in the morning
and let them hang till after dinner, then
cut them up. AS fast as you cut the,
hams and shoulders up salt them well
and lay them out CD boards to cool.
Leave them there about forty-eight
hours, then commence packing in a
large tank or barrels. Put hams In
first, skin side down, pack in tight. The
shoulders go in next and the side meat
ON top. Weight down with large rocks
and then you are ready for the brine.
Use about eighty pounds of salt, four
ounces Of saltpeter and six pounds OF
brown sugar to 1000 pounds Of meat.
Take what water you think you will
need to cover the meat, put in the salt
and saltpeter, and bring to a boiling
heat; skim, and then let it cool before
putting over the meat. Let the meat
remain in the brine about three weeks,
then hang it in the smokehouse. Let 1T
hang two or three days before building
smoke under it. Use hickory wood for
smoking. Smoke till the rind has a light
chestnut color.
Now, as to dry salt. To each green
ham of eighteen or twenty pounds, one
dessertspoonful of saltpeter, one-fourth
pound Of brown sugar, applied we'll to
the f1eshy side Of the ham, and about
the hook; cover the feshy side with fine
salt, half an inch thick, and pack away
in tubs-to remain four or five weeks,
according to size. Before smoking, rub
off any salt that remains on the meat
and then cover with ground pepper,
about the bone and hook. Hang up and
drain twenty-four to thirty-six hours
before smoking. Smoke the same as
the brine meat-Kansas Farmer.

Swine Mango.

Mango in swine is caused by filth and
unnatural conditions. 1t is due to a mi
mute parasite, which burrows under the
skin. 1t can not be easily cured, but il
the animals are thoroughly scrubbed on
a warm day, using carbolic acid soap,
then well rinsed, and when dry thor
oughiy anointed with mixture Of four
parts lard and one part kerosene, two or

Good ON Wash Day.


A very hot iron should never be used
for flannels or woOlens.
Calicoes, ginghams and chintzes-
should be ironed on the wrong side.
Clothes lines are made much more
durable by boiling for ten minutes be-
fore they are used.
Table linen should be ironed when
quite damp and ironed with very hot
and very heavy iron.
Irons should not be allowed to be-
come red-hot, as they will never retain
the heat properly afterward.
Embroideries should be irOned on q
thin, smooth surface over thick flannel,
and only on the wrong side.
Linen may be made beautifully white

Improving Cattle Herd.

Every farmer sometimes has a good
cow-one above the average-in his
herd, and he does not fail to notice her
superiority. When such is the case the
cow should be a standard by which to
gauge all others. The object should be
TO have no cows that Go not equal the
best one. Sell off the inferior ones as
fast as calves from the superior COW
will replace them. Use pure-bred sires
and do not attempt to improve the herd
by buying elsewhere.

Brushing Improves the Hair.

The very best brushes should always
be chosen, and at the very least 100
strokes day should be vigorously ad-
ministered The bristles of the brush
should not be so hard as to drag the
hair out in case of tangle obstructing
their course. Nor should they be yield
ing. It is useless to brush the hair I'M
less the head of the skin be brushed as
WELL The friction stimulates it and
makes the hair grow. Brushing the
hair with slow and languid strokes Is
simply useless. Vigor and intention
are necessary to produce really good
effect and induce the bright, healthy
gloss that hair should have.

Wooing in Brazil.

On Sunday evenings the young man is
welcome into the parlor, where row of
chairs extends along the four walls.
The whole family seats itself, and
amidst a general conversation the poor
fellow is supposed to do the wooing.
IF he wishes to escort his fiancee to a
theater. the family and daughter will
walk ahead, while he follows by his
lonely self. In short. the couple arc
never permitted to be alone, and the
natural consequence is clandestine
wooing.

How IN Make a Rice Pudding.

How to Make a Rlce PUDDING.
A rice pudding is always spoken OF as
one of the simplest Of all puddings to
make, yet it is very seldom that one
meets with any one who can make any
thing but a thick mass of rice, lily ma
vored, that is called by the name OF
''rice pudding" There is nothing more
delicious than a plain rice pudding,
creamy and we'll favored, but the Ques-
ton seems to be, how is this to be,
done? Try the following recipe: TAKE
one Quart of milk, nine teaspoonfuls or
rice, one pinch Of salt, two teaspoonfuls
Of vanilla and nine teaspoonfus OF
granulated sugar. Put into e-quart
baking dish and bake in a moderate
oven for two hours. Make early In the
day and stand away in a cold place
until ready to serve.

O1d-Time Food.

According to our present notions'
some of the dishes in vogue In the Gays,
of Elizabeth were very quaint. Sea
pulls then were eaten, and among the
dainties we find picked goose, with
cloves and ginger, and soused turkey,
boiled in white wine and vinegar and.
baked for a month! Pear puddings'
were also esteemed: These contained
no pears, but were made Of chopped-up
fowl or turkey, mixed with flour, and
made savory with the addition OF cur
rants, eggs, cream, etc.; the mass was
nodded into the form Of a pear and then
baked. Hartshorn jelly, candied fruit
and ounce cheese were among the deli
cacies of the age.-Chicago News.

Sure Relief for Insomnia.


A Swiss physician, DR.. Otto NaegeH,
declares that the best way to overcome
insomnia is to initiate the breathing OF
a man who is asleep, and to make the

casionally makes while falling asleep in
a sitting posture.

white cornmeal and leave it for twelve
hours. For dry ink stains soak in milk

of the hospital were at loss how to

repair the break, so was allowed to try.
Through his sense of touch he soon
learned the extent of the break and
then began the work of repairing it.
This he did in such a workmanlike
manner that the hospital authorities
were highly pleased with him and en-
ployed him to set up complete steam

hospital had been. Mr.. Judge has done
many important jobs of steamfiting,
amoung them being that of the home
