Discussion.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-. Nov. 23.-The Transcon-
tinental Passenger association failed to
finish UP the business on the docket today
and was compelled to take an adjournment
over until tomorrow morning. A number
OF objections made to the report OF the
committee on the Epworth league meeting
provoked a discussion which lasted several
hours at the end of which the entire matter
was referred to the committee with leave
to report tomorrow morning. While there
was no strong objections made to the rates
proposed which were S45 from Missouri river
points, $4750 from st. Louis and $50 from
Chicago, to San Francisco and return, con-
siderable opposition developed to the stop
over privileges and the limit fixed for re-
turn tickets. There was also opposition to
putting in similar rates to Los Angeles and
San Diego. The committee will probably
urravel these entanglements and submit
a satisfactory report tomorrow.

CLEVELAND, o.. Nov 23-Surveys are
now being made for a new railroad which
Is to be built by the Baltimore G. Ohio
after the beginning Of the year and which
is designed to give that company a shorter
line between Pittsburg and Chicago. The
new road will run almost in an airline
from Pittsburg to Canton, o., and will be
extended on to Warwick, where 1t will
strike the present main line to Chicago.
This connecting link will shorten the dis
tance between Pittsburg and Chicago by
twentythree miles and will also give the
Baltimore q Ohio an entrance into the
pottery region about East Liverpool. An
other link from Cleveland to Lodi on the
main line is also contemplated, which will
put this city in direct communication with
Chicago. The present line out of Pitts
burg to Akron and Cleveland will be used
for coal and freight. but not extensively
for passenger business.

GEORGE WASHINGTON.
He FOresavy the Grand Possibilities
of the Republic He Helped
to Found.

AS the nation which he fouu de d grows
in extent, in wealth, in population, in
grandeur and in worldly Importance
the fame of Washington broadenS and
takes on more and more the glow of
subliInity. 1t is only in looking back
from the immense present upon the
humble past that the vastnEss of
Washineton's work can be properly
appreciated. The foundations that he
laid still firmly support the mighty
structure that has risen upon them,
although st seems impossible THAI he
could have foreseen the immensely of
the results which were to follow hTs
efforts But that he did see grand pos
siblities for the poor little republics
which, after patient effort and in the
face of hezrt-breaking discourag@-
ments he fathered, is clearly shown
in his public; utterances. Washington
was not one of those who "builded
wiser than he knew" In his mind the
glory and tbs future power OF the
United States were certain. 1t was no
speculation, no nothing-to-lo dali
to-gain venture with him, and the
prophetic vision that he seems to have
had was no doubt responsible for the
firmness of the base upon which our
government rests
It is fitting, therefore, that the ma
ton should do him honor. It is well
that schools should have special exer-
cises on his birthday-that the chill
dren of the land should thus be i'm
pressed with the splendid character
of the man and the fitness of doing
him honor. It is well, too, that com
MERGE should i'm T. measure be sus-
pended; that the public should see fit
occasion for patriotic demonstrations,
and it would be- well if every citizen
could devote att least part of the
day to a study: of Washington's life
and achievements. No one could do so
without being better for it.-Chicago

which crept over her at the recoIlec-
tion-le had been surprised by the
band of Blindberry, the most detested
of all the tories in the neutral ground,
and unable to escape had been seized
by the men and hidden to give over
the gold which he was supposed to
have concealed somewhere about the
place. When the young patriot had
sturdily and steadily refused, his cap
tors had led him forth into the yard
and throwing halter over one of the
lower limbs of tree had suspended
him from it. Upon his repeated re-
fusa1s to reveal the hiding place they
at last left him hanging dead, as they
supposed, and departed. The grief
stricken young wife had cut down the
body of her husband, never once
thinking that he was still alive, but to
her incxpressible joy she had discov-
cred a faint futtering in the heart,
and through her careful nursing he
was soon restored and more deter
mined than ever to do his part in de-
Tending his home and country against
the attacks of the Hessians and the
lawless bands which had been quick
to turn the struggle to their own adj
vantage.
And now Mistress Fisher was again
expecting a visit from her husband.
It was true, she had not received any
direct word from him, but it had been
long since she had seen him and some
how she could not shake off the feel
ing that he would come that very aft
ernoon. Again and again she had left
her work and gone out on the low
piazza to gaze up and down the road,
but the sun had sunk lower in the sky,
the night would soon come and still
he had not appeared. She must be
mistaken, she thought, and resolute-
~ strove to drive her fears and hopes
alike from her mind. But with all her
efforts she could not succeed, and as
the long shadows began to lengthen
she once more left the house to take
her stand outside and satisfy herself
that no one was in sight.

TENDER CLOVER Hay.
with Sliced Roots Added to 1t,
Constitutes the Best Winter
Feed for Sheep.

The best possible dry feeding of sheep
isearly cut, tender clover hay, with the
addition of sliced roots. This is the
best possible dry, coarse feeding for
the winter. Ewes may be kept in the
best condition on this feed without
grain. The addition of some grain
later, when the lambs are to be thought
OF, will be necessary, but only a mod
crate ration need be given. Sheep are
naturally herbiyorous, and mischief is
frequently done by overcrowding them
with grain, when their digestive ap-
paratus is suitable only for herbaceous
fodder. Grain eating animals do not
need large stomach. nor series of
them. for gradual reduction of the
hard and concentrated food to soluble
pulp. Doubtless the ajority of sheep
lost during the winter feeding season
die on account of a misunderstanding
of this natural condition and require
ment.
Bulky food is essential to an herb
ivorous and Illuminating animal. Some
TIMES, for instance, cows have been fed
a whole winter on finely ground corn
meal without any coarse food what
ever, even hay. The result has been
that, rumination not being required
for the due maceration of the food, this
function was wholly suspended. The
size of the stomach even decreased,
shrinking, as the common adage goes,
ito the size of the ration" Life was
preserved, doubtless, and this might
have been useful in times of shortage
of coarse fodder, but we never heard of
any person but the discoverer of this
new method of feeding in the winter
who tried the experiment. This IS
typical instance of natural require
ments of herbiverous animals.
Nature has been an exemplary pro-
WIDER for her own needs, and the natural
habits of feeding of any race of animals
which has been in existence for we
know not how many thousands ofYears
cannot well be set aside or disturbed by
modern invention. The shepherd must
take his flock as they were made and
now exist. And the closer he can inn
itate the natural methods and habits
of the race, the better success he will
meet with in rearing the fock.-Amep-

HINTS FOR BEEKEEPERs.

Beeswax is usually dark, because Of
the impurities mixed with it, such as
particles of pollen, cocoons or propo-
Lis.
If honey is kept in a damp place it
Will absorb moisture and soon become
thin and watery, and lose its rich
flavor.
If not otherwise protected from the
high winds, tight fences or hedges OF
evergreens should be placed around the
beeyard.
When the hives are troubled with
ants little pine tar smeared on a
board placed near the hives will keep
them away
The use of comb foundation not only
saves a great deal of labor and time to
the bees, but it also secures straight
combs in the frames.
Two cIrones cost as much to raise as
three workers, and after they are raised
they Keep on eating, while workers la
Dor for you while they live.
During the winter is a good time to
study up on bees. Read good books on
bee management. Much may be learned
from the experience of others.
One person with a little help can
readily attend to 100 colonies if comb
honey is the product; if the honey is.
extracted more help will be needed.
Tt is important to have an aIighting-
place convenient for the bees to enter
the hive, and an east or south front is:
desirable. Bees should not take a.
fight while there is snow on the.
ground.-St. Louis Republic.

REGULARITY PAYS.
Feeding the Hens Between Meals Ks
Practice That Is Not to-
BE Commended.

Have a regular hour for feeding the
hens, and promptly appear on the scene
with the feed at that time. Give MOTH
ingi the intervals between these hours
We have seen it advised to Keep pail
af grain in the poultry house from
which a handful may be taken and
scattered on the floor every time the
place is entered. The theory is that it
has tanning effect upon the hens, and
inspires confidence in and affection for
the owner.
When this is done. however, the hens
will always be petitioning forfood when
the owner is in sight. They viii tumble

Of his footsteps, and Will crowd up

expectancy whenever he Dears the
house or yard. The hens Viii be more
quiet and contented if they are given to
understand that there are regular feed
ing times and they can expect nothing
between the hours appointed for that
purpose. They will devote themselves
more industriously to- scratching out
the grain which has been buried in the
litter and will not discontinue this work
to claim a bonus at the hands of the
owner every time he appears in the vi

she suddenly stopped and peered in
tently before her. Down the road just
where it left the woods she could see a
man running swiftly toward her house.
Her first thought was that it must be
her husband, but why was he in such
haste? He was running desperately,
and the frequent chances he cast behind
him showed that he was in fear of some
thing coming from that direction. In
an agony of suspense Mistress Fisher
clasped her hands and watched the
man. She was tempted to seize the one
gun in the house and go to his aid, but
restraining the impulse, as she realized
that the man was coming toward her,
she paused and waited. Once he STUN
bled and fell and low cry escaped
the waiting woman's lips, but in an
instant he had regained his footing and
dashed forward with increased speed.
On and on ran the man, still casting
occasional chances behind him, and
soon she could see that he was not her
husband, but a reighbor, Mr.. Butler,
one of the stanchest wings in all the re-
gion.
1t was evident, however, that he was
/ in trouble, and Mistress Fisher, relieved
as she was to discover it was not her
husband who was being pursued, wait
ed with almost breathless eagerness for
him to approach. He was near now,
and she could easily see that he was Ia
boring under great excitement; the
perspiration poured in streams down
! his face and his alarm was evident in
every movement. He was soon near
the house, and as she thought he was
going to pass without recognizing her,
Mistress Fisher called:
''Mr. Butler! Mr.. Butler! What is
it? What is it ?''
The fleeing man glanced up, and in
stantly changing his course, darted into
the house after her.

too, as witness the following letter
written about a young lady who was
contemplating a second marriage 1t
was evidently in response to some ap-
peal for his advice that Washington
wrote: For my own part never did,
nor do I believe [ ever shall, give adj
vice to a woman who is setting out on
matrimonial voyage. First, because
I never could advise one to marry
without her own consent, and, second

TO advise her to refrain when she has
obtained it. A woman very rarely asks
an opinion or requires advice on such
an occasion till her resolution is
formed, and then it is with the hope
and expectation of obtaining a sane
ton, not that she means to be gov
erned by your disapprobation, that she
applies. In word, the plain English
of the application may be summed up
in these words: I wish you to think
as do; but if. unhappily, you differ
from me in opinion, my heart must
confess, is fixed and have gone too
far to retract.' Troy Times.

The Right KIND of sheen.

The sort of sheep required a few
years ago is not wanted at all at the
present time. Feeders are having the
same experience with mutton that has
been experienced with pork. The fat
is no longer wanted. We are to-day
catering to finer taste in both
classes of meat, and this finer taste
calls for something which is not over
fat. You can find some frst-class NUT
ton in all sheep of all breeds, but if
the carcass is made overfat we have
got to trim off a lot before cutting
chops for our customers. Even in the
cheaper cuts of meat, fats are no long
er wanted. What is required is good
leg and plenty of lean side cuts.-Mr.
