An old man who has been a farmer
for 81 years in Missouri says: "When
l began farming, 1 plowed with a
wooden plow, cut wheat and oats with
a sickle and thrashed them out by the
tramping process, cut the meadow with
a scythe and used wooden tooth har
row. Much of the wheat and corn
raised was eaten by deer, turkeys and
prairie chickens. 1t was no uncommon
sight TO see as many as 20 deer in n
herd. Just think of the jump from an
OK team to a railroad! | remember Ty
first trip on the cars. 1t was in 1876,
l think. My wife and l drove from
Harmony to Ashley to see some
friends. When at Curryville, we con-
cluded to take n trip up into Audrain
county to Vandalia. Well when the
train started and we were moving over
the prairie the experience was so pleas
ing and novel that l couldn't help
thinking Of the wonderful age. 1t felt
so good to be wheeling through space
that we remained aboard until we
reached Mexico, the county seat of Au-
drain county. 1t was wonderful to go
that far and back in n day"

Furniture Polish.

A good polish for brass, nickel plate
and pewter can be procured of drug
gist under the name of tripoli. 1t is an
exceedingly fine powder made from
small shells and is sold for few cents
per pound. Moistened with sweet oil
it is used like whiting upon silver.
With these two simple materials, whit
ing and tripoli, on hand the house
keeper will have no necessity for spe-
cial preparations. Tripoli is the best
cleansing material for brass bedsteads,
andirons and fireplace fittings as well
as for exposed plumbing and for
bronzes. To polish fine carved wood
and cabinet work mix one-half pint lin
seed oil, half pint of ale and the beat
on white of an egg with one ounce of
alcohol and the same quantity of am
monia. Shake well. apply a little at n
time with a soft piece of old linen and
then polish with old silk. If well
corlied. the mixture can be kept an in
definite period.-He!en Ii. Hunt in

THE HOUSEHOLD.
How to Ventilatc n Room-By a wo-
man For Womcn-Some Beau
tiful Desserts.

But in spite of this constant changing
by natural renewal from outside it is a
good idea to give quick and complete
change once n day to the air of living
rooms, smoking rooms, bedrooms and
dining rooms. This is best effected
by opening windows that will make a
direct draft, keeping in mind that n
few minutes only are required to ac-
complish the purpose. Make this
change of air when a room is to be va
cant for, say, 10 minutes, which will
give time for somewhat heating the
cold air taken in. For the sickroom a
fireplace is the safest ventilator, lack
ing which adroit management or de-
vices too elaborate to be here detailed
will secure a proper atmosphere. In n
large house with few occupants this
clean sweeping out of stale air need be
resorted TO but rarely, as sweeping

THE PRESIDENT AT PLAY

You should have seen the president
at play few weeks ago. 1t was very,
pretty sight Little Leonora p,
child of or 6, came one day to the
White House to see Mrs. Mckinley.
Leonora arrived all Starched and frill-
ed and with her best and primmest
manners to the fore. Her old black
nanny nurse was with her. and 1t
was evident that Leonora had been in
structed to be very polite and not to
sit down in the presence of the mis-
tress of the White House unless press
ed to do so and, above all, to answer
all questions promptly. Both the pres
ident and Mrs. Mckinley received the
child. They did all they could to make
her feel at home, but Leonora was evi-
IDENTIFY a good deal awed. At last Mrs.
Mckinley, observing the years Of the
old black nanny, pressed her to sit
down and the child, too, but Leonora
said admonishingly to her nurse in an
undertone and holding herself bolt up
right:
mo, nanny. Servants must not
sit"
"Why, Leonora," said Mrs. McKin-
ley, much amused, "mammy's an old
woman. And you sit down yourself"
"Oh, yesm," returned the child
gravely. But, then, I'm people"
This reply nearly bowled the presi-
dent over, and he and Mrs. Mckinley
smiled broadly. Then Mrs. Mckinley
took out her watch, which contains
portrait of the president. She held it
out and said coaXingly:
'Leonora, you cannot tell me of
whom this Is a picture"
Leonora drew near and scanned the
open watch. A bright look swept over
her face.
"Oh, yes'm, | know who it Is"
"Well, who is it, LeonoraT

This was altogether too much for
the president. He went off into fit

A Famous Australian Gorge Scene

The Wentworth valley at the point
where the tourist looks down into it is
a narrow gorge into whose secret and
gloomy depths beautiful stream van
ishes in series of magniflcently grace
full cataracts. A glance gives you the
whole effect in its first fascination and
terror, while hours will not exhaust
the individual features of the land
scape. The ferns that gather at the
feet of the cataracts, about the pools
where the water rests a moment before
taking It's next plunge over the still
deeper precipices; the cliff climbing
armies of eucalyptus trees, the dark
rocks, the cloudy sky above, the dis
tant bird notes--all these blend at one
moment into single impression OF the
majesty of the place and at the next
moment invite afresh your closer scru-
tiny to see if haply you may not catch
and hold henceforth every feature Of
the landscape.

Lake sturgeon Becomins Scarce.

Inspector o. b. Sheppard of the Ca
madam department of fisheries says in
his annual report that unless some
thing is done to prevent it sturgeon
soon will be practically extinct in the
Lake Huron and Georgian bay district.
In the northern part of the district es-
peclally in Lake Nipissing and rivers
leading therefrom, they are still plenti-
full, but they are being slaughtered at
a fearful rate, one firm having shipped
10000 pounds of caviare in the season.
AS the roe is the part of the fish that
Is of the most value, and ii Is taken

a friend some time ago while in the
country. He was ploughing over be-

were we'll wooded almost down to the

is noted for making wildcat whisky,
and this fact threw me off the track,
as will appear hereafter. I was ap-

Suddenly l thought he glanced at
me, and at the time he rushed around
hurriedly to the singletree, unlocked
the trace chains, threw them across
the horses back, and the animal struck
out on dead run down the turning
row which split the ravine. My friend
followed, and it was a race for who
laid the rail, as they say in the coun-
try. l could see through ii all in a
minute. My friend had been making
moonshine whisky, and he thought
was a United States marshal. l split
my sides laughing over the thought of
the thing, and then I struck out down
the ravine after him. l travelled some
! distance before catching sight of my
friend and his horse. Finally 1 found
them close to a branch, and my friend
was stopping down occasionally pick
ing up something and smearing it on
his hands, face and neck.

This paragraph, it is believed, will
enable certain peers and peeresses
whose marriages have not been in ac-
cordance with their rank to gracefully
find excuses for not being present.
They can say that they forgot to put
in their application in time, or some
thing of hat sort.
1t is very certain, for instance, that
the Marchioness of Headfort, recently
Miss Rosie Boote of the Gaiety Thea
ter will have another engagement.
Possibly the Countess of Clancarty, for
merly Miss Belle Billion and the Coun-
tess of Orkney, at one time Miss Con-
ME Gilchrist of the Gaiety Theater,
will forget to send applications.
Then that worthy old lady, the Mar
chioness of Donegal, who had some
little trouble at a police court over the
wrongful possession of leg of NUT
ton, will not trouble the Earl Marshal.
Perhaps the new Countess IF Clonmen,
formerly Miss Rachel Berridge of the
chorus. etc, will put off meeting their
Majesties.
1t is to be doubted if the young
Duchess of Manchester, formerly Miss
Zimmerman of Cincinnati, O., will be
present.
Not that she wouldn't be very well
come on her own account. but the
young Dukes bankruptcy temporarily
suspends his peerage privileges. That
same impeachment, by the way, will
prevent the attendance of the Marquis
| of Donegal, and of half dozen other
noble lords of various ranks.
Much disappointment is being doubt
| less felt by number of widowed peer
esses who have remarked commoners.
! They cannot be present. as officially
they have ceased to possess privileges
| of peerage, except by courtesy.
Consequently the Dowager Duchess
| OF Sutherland, who will be remembered
in Philadelphia as Mrs. Blair. and who
| is now the wife Of Sir Albert Rollit,
| will have no occasion to attend.
The Duchess of Buckingham and
| Chandos. who is the widow of the
| Duke who was such an intimate friend
| of the late George w. Childs, will be
able to attend the coronation, despite
| the fact that she is still called Duchess
and has remarked. But. then, her Sec
| ond husband is a peer, the Earl Eyer
ton of Tatton, and consequently the
| Duchess of Buckingham will wear the
| Countess coronet in the holy of HOLES
| at Westminster.
The Duchess OF Marlborough. nee
Vanderbilt. will have a leading seat
| among the duchesses, and there will be
another half dozen OF American peer
esses, at least. to remind King Edward
! that his great-grandfather, George the
| Third. was crowned King of the Amer
| lean Colonies, among other titles.
OF course the American peeresses
! will include the Countesses Essex. Or
| ford and Craven, but Lily, Duchess OF
! Marlborough, will have no place in the
| Abbey unless she manages to marry
| another peer between now and Jan. L.
| al present she is officially only the
