Days of Applejack Are Conc.

A few years ago Orange county, N.
Y, made more applejack than any
other county in the Union, New Jersey
not barred, says an old-time farmer.
In the town Of Warwick alone there
were q applejack distilleries. We
turned out 100000 gallons year, and
paid the government. 100000 a year
tax for doing it. There was scarcely a
town in the county that didn't squeeze
Its quota of apples into cider and con-
vert the cider into applejack.
Orange county began the making of
applejack before the Revolutionary
war. There is in use in the Sayre dis
tillery near Warwick a kettle and
worm, the product Of which in APPLE
jack paid excise duty to King George
III. 1t was then in still somewhere
in the Hudson Highlands. The Sayre
still is the only one left out of the 27.
All the old stills in other parts of the
county has disappeared.

The Joponese Maid.

A Japanese maid is now an absolute
necessity to the society woman who
desires to be strictly up to date.
Prominent women in New York are
all adopting the idea. and they are
finding that the pretty Jap women can
attend to their wants far better than
the French maid, who for so long has
been in such demand by the smart set.
There are several reasons why the
Japanese woman makes a better maid
than the French, German or English
woman. In the first place she is the
most cleanly person on the face of the
earth, and that counts for whole lot.
Then she knows how to dress the hair
better than any of her sisters and she
knows more little secrets which are of
value in milady's boudoir than the
woman of any other nationality.

The Russian soldiers diet is largely
vegetarian. Favorite dinner dishes in
clude "stche"-a cabbage soup-pota-
toes, peas, beans, macaroni and vari-
GUS kinds of porridges eaten with on
ions and lard. Only half pound of
meat Is allowed each man daily, and
the Russian pound Is ten per cent less
than in this country. Mushrooms are
consumed in great quantities when in
season. Three pounds of black rye
bread are included in the daily rations
and IL any is left over the men are
at liberty to sell the remains. AS the
soldiers bread is very nourishing and
purer than the ordinary bakers, the
extra rations sell well. In the way of
drink, beer is too great luxury for
him. so he quenches his thirst with
"Qvas," a cheap substitute made from
fermented black bread. On high days
the soldiers are RECALLED with vodki,
often at their officers expense.
Their games are of the most primi-
tive character. Their greatest pleas
ures are singing, dancing and playing
on the "garmonika," a musical instru-
ment like concertina, or on the "bal-
lailaika," national musical instru-
The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1901-11-12

ment something like banjo, which
will keep them amused for hours.
Singing, however, is the soldiers
greatest pleasure, and chorus singing
is a great feature in the Russian ar
my's accomplishments. The number
of songs an ordinary soldier knows is
beyond belief Singing is encouraged
by the officers, and the men with the
best voices are especially rewarded.
Among illiterate people the singer will
always be able to exert a great influ
ence. One has hardly to see Russian
regiment on the march to understand
what moral power the singers can give
the soldiers.
According to the latest returns for
1901, the statistics for the Russian ar
my are as follows, on peace footing:
Infantry, 900 battalions of foot, or
4b0 900 bayonets; cavalry, SO regi-
ments, or 81 900 sabers; artillery, 400
batteries, or 1,700 guns; Cossacks,
$4,000 men and 108 cannon. The gem
eral total on peace footing, including
those not in the ranks, garrison
troops, and local reserve forces,
amounts to $4,000 men, with $4,000
horses. On war footing, including
the reserves, the soldiers of the car

SOME DANGER FROM WEALTH.
The Command of Luxuries Tends to
Stunt the Mind.

The Command of Luxuries Tends to-
Stunt the Mind.
A noted German philosopher said
that every fine dinner his friends had.
invited him to had injured his diges-
ton, and consumed an amount of vital
energy that would have been sufficient
for the production of an entire page of
good writing. Each of these dinners
he said, had blunted his brain and
incapacitated him for high thinking
and good literary work. One cluster of
grapes, one slice of bread, and a glass
of milk twice a day afforded him all
the nourishment he required. This was
a remarkable example of plain living
and high thinking.
In choosing an occupation 1t is OF
the greatest importance to choose that
which will leave one free to develop
the higher nature, to live a life as
complete as life is possible, says Sue
cess.
Considered from the standpoint Of
the welfare of the race, or from that OF
nature itself, scarcely anything could
be more unkind or cruel than to place
youth, with all his budding possibili-
ties depending for their development
upon the stimulus which the conscious
ness of necessity gives, in the midst
of great wealth and luxury.
Few things are so paralyzing to the
average ambition, so detrimental to.
the cultivation of the faculties, as the
consciousness of being placed beyond
the need of struggle. On the other
hand, nothing else so develops the
powers of youth, so stimulates the I'M
folding of possibilities, as the con-
seriousness of being entirely dependent
upon ones own exertions.
Many man lives in a palace sur
rounded by all the luxuries wealth can
purchase, while his soul grovels in the
mire. Many a millionaire frescoes in
the ceiling of his sumptuous home
with the richest figures that the mas
tiers can devise, but the ceiling of his
mind is frescoed with hideous. de-
moralizing pictures. His home is filed
with beauty, but his heart is black
and murky with the images of a dis
eased Imagination.

The great department stores have
been a serious problem to small trad
ers all over the country, and In several
states unsuccessful attempts have
been made to regulate their growth by
legislation. new plan is now to be
tried in Chicago In the form of a Co
operative department store to which a
number of small dealers are to contrib
ute their capital and their work. The
whole investment will be five hundred
thousand dollars, and II is planned to
sell everything from ice cream to a
coal hod. Each department will be

OF a single department will be

old customers with him, the enterprise
starts with rosy hopes.

A pair OF Kansas lovers the other
day went to Iowa to escape the law
which forbids the marriage of first
cousins. The same day in a Kansas
town a couple from Colorado took ad-
vantage of a Kansas law which per
mits a divorced person to marry after
the lapse of six months. These cases
led the Kansas City Journal to sug-
gest that the states send ambassadors
to each other with power to negotiate
treaties through which uniformity in
marriage laws might be secured.

comparative obscurity, is man VINO
once was prominent in the polltlcal
life of the nation, who occupied seat
in the United States senate and whose
vote saved Andrew Johnson from pc
ing removed from the Presidency. HIS
name is Edmund G. Ross and he was
once governor of New Mexico.
Gov. Ross, as he is known to the peo-
pie of New Mexico, is one OF the uDlQ-
uitous Ohio men. He was born 10
years ago in Ashland, Ohio, near the
birthplace of Senator William B. ALL
son of Iowa. Gov. Ross is one OF the
oldest printers living. When years
old he began learning his trade.
Thenceforth the printing office was his
only school. The slavery excitement

soon after took an active part in
bringing about a meeting in Milwau-
kee for the organization Of the party
at that place. Then he removed to
Kansas, and entered the fight for free
dom in the new territory. In 1865 he
founded the Topeka Tribune, one OF
the first newspapers west Of the Mis-
souri, river. AS It's editor he rendered
no small service to the anti-slavery
cause. When the fight for freedom and
the Union reached the war stage the
young editor followed it up, enlist1ng
as a private in the Eleventh Kansas
Cavalry. He saw service with his COM
mand throughout the war, and at its
end was mustered out with the rank OF
lieutenant-colonel. When Col. Ross
returned to Topeka the legislature was
in a deadlock over the election OF q
senator. His faithful and efficient serv-
ice to his party before the war and his
record in the army rendered him
conspicuous figure at the capital, and
the long deadlock was broken by his

But while the last resting place OF
the body may be in Canton. or Spring
field. or Cleveland, there is no reason
why a national memorial should not
be erected at Washington for any
president or for all the presidents. A
single magnificent presidential arch
would have room for many inscrip-
lions covering the succession for many
years. Or if it were desired to select
one man for special honor the struc-
ture might be made beautifully artis-
tic tribute of regard for him and his
work.
Such monuments could be built most
appropriately in the capital and with

Ross made several successive newspa-
ner ventures in Kansas, all of which
were failures. and short time sufficed
TO find him again eking out a precari-
ous existence "at the case" as in his
early manhood. In 1882 he went to
Albuquerque and shortly became fore
man of the job department OF one OF
the local newspapers, where he re-
NAMED for the next three years.
Soured by his summary dismissal
from the ranks of the Republican par
ty. Senator Ross became a Democrat.
and this change in political faith en-
abled President Cleveland in 1885 at
least partially to reward Ross by ap-
pointing him governor of New Mexico.
Upon his retirement in 1889, Gov. Ross
fitted up a small job printing office in
Albuquerque. Much of the time he
was the only workman employed. In
the humble routine of printing sale
bills. circulars and advertising "dodg-
ers" he spent the next 10 years.
Two years ago Gov. Ross sold his
printing Office and purchased fruit
and alfalfa farm of a few acres in the
outskirts of the city. Here in little
Mexican adobe house he is spending
the sunset years of his life, going into
town occasionally to work at his trade.

He had shown no indication of aspir-
ing to national leadership. He was
popular in the senate. His future was
full Of promise. When the congress
sional leaders at length determined
upon impeachment as a means for de-
posing President Johnson they never
doubted that they could rely on the
Kansas senator to the utmost. It was
we'll understood that several Republi-
AN senators were not kindly disposed
toward such an extreme measure as
impeachment, and toward the end Of
The trial Senators Fessenden, Fowler,
Grimes, Henderson, Trumbull and Van
Wrinkle announced their opposition to
sonviction upon any of the charges,
and several others had announced that
they did not believe there was any evil
dence to sustain several of the articles
of impeachment. At this juncture the
attitude of Senator Ross became a
source of much uneasiness to the op-
ponents of the President. After the
senate had been organized as a court
to hear the case, Ross had resolutely
refused to discuss its merits or to saw
what his vote would be. He would only
say that he would hear the evidence
and the arguments, and then cast his
vote in accordance with his oath to
give the accused a fair and impartial
trial.
