Warning Given BY a Tree.

"I saw in the Star not long ago,
copied from a New York paper" said
lady living near Greeley, Pike Coun-
ty, Pennsylvania, ga story about an
apple tree blossoming in October, and
the fatal results Of 1t. The story was
told as coming from a man. and he
said that an apple tree at his home
had blossomed ten years before IN Oc-
tober, and shortly afterward his wife
had died. 1t had not blossomed again
in October for several years, and then
within a month his mother had died.
Then there was another lapse, and
when he told the story, which was
about the first of October. the tree was
again in blossom, and he was greatly
disturbed as to what was going to
happen next. Well, that story was
mine, and the reporter put it in the
name of man, because / didn't want
to appear in it. Two weeks after
had told the story to party Of friends
in which the reporter was, / went
back home, and within a week the
house took fire and burned to the
ground. It was so sudden that we
barely managed to get out with our
lives, and our chief articles of apparel
were bathrobes and blankets. 1t was
a country place, and we had no means
of putting out the fire, SO everything
was lost. The only consolation we
have is that the fatal apple tree stood
so close to the house that it was burn
ed to a crisp, and it, at least. will
never again be the messenger OF bad
luck, however much other trees may
bring with their October blossoms"

A Well-Earned Reward.

The gold watch and chain which our
government las sent to Captain Rich
ardson of the British steamer Orange
Prince for saving two American fish
ermen lost on the ocean is token Of
recognition and national gratitude far
above it's intrinsic value. The latter,
IN fact, is much less than the cost of
stopping a great steamer and using
it's time in the work Of rescue, and on
this latter account some recognition
should also be made to the steamship
owners for the services of their YES
sci. Too many stories are told of
steamers that pass men afloat on the
ocean and leave them to perish. They
cannot be compelled to stop and res
cue the sufferers, but something
should be done to encourage them to
do so.-Ihiladelphia Public Ledger.

1ha Picturesque Tartar.

The Tartar travels with his family.
and his followers. Wives riding strad-
dle.legged and children in baskets are
mounted on camel-back, and only the
actual leaders go afoot, with the long
string Of their charges following in
single file, tied together In line.
Warmly clad in heavy, wadded under
clothes, topped by enormous sheep
skins; their heads covered with long
cared fur caps, in addition to which
, they put on fur earbags, and on their
legs "Mongol socks"-that Is, soft,
high boots Of sheepskin, under felt
oyershoes, thickly studded with iron
nails-these people look to the life the
Tartar of the children's book Of types.
The Tartar differs considerably from
The Chinaman, or even from his ]lins-
man, the Manchu, in the ruddy yellow
Of his face and the pleasant frankness
of his glance. He seems to favor bright
colors, and on the top of his fur hood
he often sticks the gold.buttoned cap
of Chinese official rank, while his wo-
mems jackets are of yellow and scar.

FLOWER p1cKERs OF GRAssE.

The peasant women and girls of
Grasse. in the south Of France, are
kept. employed in picking and sorting
flowers for perfume. Grasse being the
centre Of that industry. Violet gather
ing begins in March; jessamine, orange
blossom, rose and tuberose in May:
the mignonette in August, and the
cassia in September. The work of
picking is done between 5 and II
o'clock in the morning. the remainder
Of the day being spent in sorting and
picking apart the flowers. The per-
fume making begins with spreading
the petals upon layers of pure lard
that covers plates of glass. and the
flower layers are renewed three or
four times before the fat has become
thoroughly saturated with the per-
fume. This perfumed lard is the
'1pomade" OF commerce, out Of which
are made extracts and fine pomades.

Winter Horse Raising.

The new method to make the farm
horse pay his way every day in the
year is to keep good, sound, sizable
mares and breed them in the fall, pref
erably November. The foal then
comes in October when fall work is
mostly finished and from then till
March or April, given comfortable
box stall, she will raise fine foal
during the winter period of idleness
and when spring opens up, the foal is
weaned and the mare is ready to begin
the spring work and will work mod
erately right along up to the following
October.
always practiced working my
mares right up to the time of foaling,
with no injurious results, as long as
the mares are being fed plenty OF
grain. A mare of 1000 pounds weight
worked hard up to near the time OF
parturition, needs not less than Ia
pounds grain. chiefly oats. Thus fed
the mare with foal can be worked
pretty hard Assuming that the mare
foals in October, no more work is ex-
pected from her all winter, though
light work will not hurt. A warm
well-ventilated box stall is provided
for the mare and foal; If water basin
is placed in the stall, all the better.
With plenty Of pure water all that
is necessary for the mare and foal all
winter is a generous allowance of hay
and oats, with an occasional feed OF
boiled stuff, as boiled barley, but il
roots are Fed generously, turnips OF
carrots, there is no need of boiled
messes. With an abundant supply OF
roots they may be fed every day. II
much corn is fed it should in all cases
be mixed with wheat bran, half and
half by weight. The foal soon learns
to eat hay and grain with its dam, and
will grow right along at q surprising
rate When the warm days Of spring
begin to open up, the mare can be
taken away from the foal, leaving the
box stall to the colt. All he now needs
is repetition of the feed given in
the winter. The grass is now or will
soon be ready and this will be the
best substitute for the dams milk

; a WEDDING At AN ARMY POST.
How Young Lieutenant and His eriea
Were Welded on New Years Day.


In an article in the Woman's Hor a.
|. Companion, entitled Holiday Week a
an Army Post" Harriet A. Lusk de-
scribes as follows q military weddin,
performed at an Isolated post IN Ari-
IONA:
ot"such unexpected things happen ;,
military, life! We nearly lost on:
breath when In the midst of our gaety
an order came for Mr.. Knox to go to
the Philippines. He and Miss Porter
were to be married next June, and be
insisted upon leaving her brIde, in
stead Of a fancee, hoping she might
Join him If not soon recalled.
ay@Qnly a few in the garrison had
known that the order to our senior
lieutenant was not wholly unexpected.
The colonel's family had guarded well
the. secret. -" - The cere-
mony,, with all its features, was so
picturesque and SO unlike those, we
have seen in civilian life. On the af-
ternoon of New Years day blue-coated
soldiery walked with formal tread up
and down the walk which led from
the colonels quarters to the chapel. At
the former place q national flag al
most hid the little veranda, which
was transformed into bower of flow
ers, and foliage. for the day was warm
and dry, as II Nature, too, smiled upon
the occasion. Soft rugs carpeted the
walk to the gate, and there the bridal
party formed after the guests had
been received. A tiny girl and boy
tastefully gowned formed fair ad-
vance guard for the party; and scat
tered flowers on, the way from the
Southwick home to the chapel. The
stage was a mass Of ferns, and IL the
center was a small silk American flag.
Here and, there on the walls Of the
chapel were military ensigns and guild
ons in beautiful colors, and portlere
of flags hid the balcony, behind which
stringed quartet struck sweet strains.
1.-THE ceremony was performed in
front of the stage, and the solemn
words Of the ritual were spoken to the
strains of the hidden music. Through
the .ribboned aisle the bridal process
sion retreated and marched to. the
colonels home. The regmental band
played in welcome, and squads of
soldiars stood IN attention about the
lawn, while Mr.. and Mrs. Knox, be-
meath the national ensign, received
congratulations before. refreshments
were served"

MONTANA'S WOMAN LAWYER.


Mrs. Ella Knowles Haskell, Of Hell
ena, Mont, Is the first woman lawyer
from the state of Montana, the first
woman assistant attorney general in
the United States, and she has receiv-
ed the largest fee ever paid to legal
practitioner of the gentler sex, which
fee was $4,000, for her services in a
case involving valuable copper and
silver. mines In Butte City, in which
James B. Haggln, the multi-mlllion-
aire' of California, was. the plaintiff.
She defeated Mr.. Haggin's attorneys
with flying colors.
"She Is the only woman says
Joaquin Miller in his History of Mon
tana,"' who ever went to Washing
ton ms the accredited representative Of
a sovereign state on official business. ;"
This was in her capacity as assistant
attorney general, and on this occa-
sion she saved to Montana school
lands amounting in value to 100000,
appearing in person before the Land
Office officials.
In 1891 she received the Populist
nomination for attorney general, but
was defeated by Henry ]. Haskell,
Republican, whom she married year
later.

Narrowing Whea..

Often a rain may come after wheat
has been sown, and on clay land so
beat down the soil that 1t Will crust
over or bake when the sun comes out
SO that many Of the plants cannot get
through. The use of light harrow
with fine sharp teeth will remedy this
very quickly without injury to the
plants that are up, or those that are
terminating. Nor does it injure wheat
to use such a harrow on it In the
spring when the clover seed is sown,
unless the roots have been thrown out
by the frost, in which case roller Is
needed to press the plant roots back
into the earth.

Experiments in France with cannon
firing to protect the vines from hail
storms are reported to have been sue
cessful. Threatening clouds have been
torn asunder by the explosions, and
beneficial showers have descended in
place of the destructive little balls of
ice. A novel plan to disperse the
thickest Of London fogs has been sug-
gested recently. This scheme involves
the use of a balloon and the discharge
of huge quantities of guncotton in the
upper air. When a British fog Is rent
apart in that way the sky will fall and
roasted larks will drop into hungry
mouths.

Best Treatment for Breeding Flock.


Glover hay is one of the very best
feeds. For a grain ration, my favor
ite feed is oats, bran and peas, with
roots or ensilage for succulent feed.
l prefer roots to anything else and
find that l never have too many. If |
do not have good luck in raising root
crops during the summer, put up en-
silage as the very best substitute.
Whatever feed is used, give it at regu-
lar intervals and not too much at a
time. Make up a schedule for feed
ing and then stick to it.
Good care and regularity are the
secrets OF success in the stock busi-
ness. l always have box of salt for
the sheep to run to and am seldom
troubled with disease. The time to
doctor a sheep is before 1t gets sick.
When it once gives up, it Is in most
cases lost. ! think 1t far more prof.
table to spend my time in finding out
what caused the sickness, in order to
keep the remainder of the flock
healthy, rather than attempt to doc
tor sick sheep.
l always know when my ewes ought
to begin to lamb, and put forth every
effort to have everything ready. Give
the young sheep good start, for early
development is worth everything to
the shepherd. The lamb must be
pushed from birth until ready for sale.
There is no stopping Dlace.-A. F.
White, in New England Homestead.
