DRY WOOD
ALWAYS ON HAND.

We hnyc n very choice lot of pine and
hard wood in stock. which we can sell
ut the lowest market price.
We wish TO emphasize the fact that our
wood is all kept under shelter and is
therefore always dry and in a strictly
first class condition.
Hundreds of homes recognize the high
standard Of our coal. We want thou
sands to appreciate the merits of both
our coal ana wood.

Life OF a South African LADY.

In South Africa the women some
times need a set of accomplishments
differing from those of New York. The
feminine graces might be at a disad-
vantage when not backed up by more
than the usual feminine force. At
least that is what the experience of
Mrs. Johann Colenbrander, who is now
being feted in England as a heroine
of Buluwayo, would seem to indicate.
Il cannot remember the time," said
Mrs. Colenbrander, to an English in
terviewer, when I was without a
horse and gum" Her familiarity with
these masculine belongings has more
than once stood her in good stead. For
amusement this sturdy lady has en-
joyed such things as a months lion
hunting with her husband and King
Lobengula, a three months visit at
Cecil Rhodes place, in the Matoppos
hills, where conferences with savage
chieftains and inspections of the Hill
camp were the entertainments. She is
said to understand the language, GUS
toms and prejudices Of the natives bet
ter than any other, living woman. in
addition to which she is handsome. and
an adept in the art Of dress.

A Stag Hunt, in Siberia.

The English traveller Atkinson de-
scribes the following scene which took
place in. Siberia: 1.-TWO hunters were
chasing stag and followed him from
valley to valley until they arrived at
a rocky portion Of the country. Tn
daunted, they kept on, and toward
evening had driven him to pass. with
precipice upon one side and a deala
upon the other. Here, while in hot
pursuit., they saw the animal hesitate.
as though afraid to advance. suppos-
ing that some wild animal barred his
passage, they kept on, when sudden
ly two bears leaped out of the bushes.
and joined in the chase of the stag.
The poor animal, turning short to one
side leaped, the precipice, making a
bound Of thirty-three feet, and landing
upon the summit Of rock detached
from the principal mass. One Of The
bears attempted to follow him, over
calculating his strength, fell into the
abyss, while the other stepped UPON
the edge of the precipice, growing
with rage. Our Cossacks sent him Is
rejoin his comrade in the heaven Of
bears, by shooting him, .

Curious Blunders.

Occasionally the English penny-a-
liner produces gem of unconscious,
humor. 1.-THE murderer" wrote one;
was evidently in quest of money, but,
luckily, Mr.. Duncan had deposited all:
his funds in the bank the day before;
so that he lost nothing but his life"
Another, describing street accident,
wrote: AaThe unfortunate victim was
taken to Guys hospital, where he now
lies, progressing favorably, although
he is sedulously attended by DE-: j. R.
Robertson, the resident surgeon. and
some of the leading members of the
medical staff" In a report Of a Glas-
cow newspaper of shipwreek of the
coast of Ayr this appeared: ":Ehercap-
tain swan ashore, and succeeded in
also saving the life of his wife. She
was insured in the Northern Marine
Insurance; company for five thousand
pounds, and carried full cargo of CO.

HER SUCCESSFUL SCHEME.

HOW an Ingenious Aunt Saved Her
Nephew from Drunkonness.
1t was a striking couple that entered
carriage last Wednesday in front of
the Hotel Savoy. Both were tall of
fine figure and easy grace, says the
New York Herald. The man looked
on the sunny side of so; the woman.
some years younger, was of the Juno
type. Their eyes and compilations had
a dash of the Spanish, while their talk
and manners were French.
Curious history that man has had"
remarked hotel lounger. HE comes
of rich creole family in the Pont-
chartrain district of Louisiana. They
were immensely wealthy before the
war and managed to hold on to most
Of their estates. His wife, also a Gre
ole, was educated with the most ex-
pensive polish abroad. Though mar
ried now for many years, they're lovers
yet. He was wild young blade.
drinking, dueling and gambling. His
family tried all means to curb him.
but he broke every bit.
Zone night he was taken home par.
alyzed with champagne His old
maiden aunt had an inspiration. She
hurried off a trusted negro to New
Orleans for burial casket-silver
handles, satin lining. Flowers were
picked from the garden and she ar
ranged candles and crucifix. when
the casket arrived the paralyzed youth
was placed carefully in it, while the
dear old schemer stayed up with "the
remains" It was some time before
he recovered enough consciousness to
grasp the funeral outfit, but the old
lady's artifice did the business. It was
the eye-opener he needed. That was
his last debauch.'

Pigs ON Pasture.
$ The annual report Of the ol1laho1n:
Experiment Station SAYS:

The annual report OF the Oklahoma
experiment Station says:
April II, 1899, eight pigs were divid-
60 into two lots, one weighing ESQ lbfr
the other 270 lbs. They were placed ~
alfalfa plats Of about one-half acre.
each, one lot receiving no other food, D
the other full feed of Kafir meal or
shelled corn.
During five weeks the pigs with no
food but alfalfa made gain OF 81 lbs,
or 1926 lbs. each. For next three
weeks, to- June %, they gained only
seven pounds, less than two pounds
each. While there was good stand
OF alfalfa and the season was favor
able for its growth, the four pigs, av-s55
eraging about 80 lbs, each kept it well
eaten of. Y ~
The four pigs full fed grain with the,
alfalfa gained 1919 lbs, in five weeks,
or practically SO lbs, each in IS
days. In next three weeks they gained
125 lbs, or nearly one and one-haK
pounds per day. r
With this last was a SOW with a lit
ter of pigs. She gained 81 lbs, in
first five weeks, when she was removed,
her five pigs gained LAG lbs, in first
five weeks and Sc lbs, in next three
weeks. A young boar In same lot
gained 46 lbs, in 26 days, and 20 lbs.
In next three weeks
There was fed to all the pigs in this
plat 1858, lbs. corn and Kafir. They
made total gain in eight weeks of 764
lbs., using only 2.21 lbs. grain, in addf-
ton to the alfalfa for each pound OF
gain. Counting the small pigs with
the others the grain eaten was lessa1
than three pounds per day each.
Obviously the grain feeding =. was
profitable. Possibly equal or greater
profit might have resulted it only par
tial feed of grain had been given. The
plat pasturing the pigs with grain feed
carried at least one-half more stock
than the other. but the alfalfa re-
manned green and fresh.
Six young brood sows, with pigs,
were kept during same period on
to a very small quantity of the drop
pings and waste from feeding the work
teams. They gained SO lbs. in five
weeks, and 90 lbs in next three weeks
The sow which had been full fed grain
on alfalfa pasture during May, was put
in this pasture June and lost IL lbs. :
in three weeks. This trial illustrates
the fact that QUE native grasses will en-
able pigs TO- make some gain during
the early part of the season. They be-
come lass, palatable as the season. adj

The Fall Army Worm is ravagfne
the lawns in Chicago and other cities
IN the West. He Is also to some sex-
tent attacking the foliage OF the APP
pie trees, but this latter attack is OF
little Importance. He is sometimes
called the Grass Worm, but eats not
only grass but corn and small grain
We illustrate the moth and worm as
sketched by Riley. The Latin name
OF the insect is Laphygma frugiperda
Frof. 8. Az Forbes thus describes it:
The front wings OF the moth are
narrow, with apex broadly rounded.
General color brownishy gray, varied
with blue white, dusky and fulvous. A
plush white patch at the apex Of the
wing, usually containing few black
spots" The under surface of the wings
Is smoky but paler anteriorly and ter
minally. The posterior wings are trans
lucent, nearly white in some lights,
roseate in others, dusky on anterior
margin, and on anterior half of outer
margin. Head, thorax and abdomen
nearly uniform gray; thorax with a
V-shaped black mark in 'front.'"
THE larvae are dark, the general ef-
feet being that of nearly black In
sect with broad buff band below the
stigmata, and narrow yellow, sub
dorsal line. (These points can be fol-

Spraying with Paris green seems to
be the only method of protecting the
lawns. If they attack the grain field
a furrow should be turned around it
and when the furrow is partly filled
with worms a log can be dragged
through: it: This will kill multitudes
of them and do. much to. save the field.
If they once get into the new grain
in large numbers the only remedy
seems to. be to re-plow and re-seed the
field.
