captain, in the Chicago Inter Ocean.
"When Turchin about-faced his brig
ade and moved straight on the con-
3federates behind him he left the Twen-
ty-frst Indiana battery in position in
the extreme front of the southern part
of the Kelley field. After Gen. L. A.
Kings death the Second brigade of
Reynolds division went to pieces, and
the battery was unsupported on the

of the Twenty-first Indiana guns got
off in the smoke and confusion. One

HELPING WEAK COLONIES.
How to DO Away with One of the
Direct Causes of the 'So-Called
Spring Dwindling.

When the fall flow of nectar is light
the bees dicontinue brood rearing
early, and consequently go into winter
quarters very light in number, and
rather old to insure successful winter
ing. This is one of the direct causes
of the so-called spring dwindling. 1t
must be prevented by late brooding.
Those who leave their bees to starve
in a poor season are not deserving of
honey in good one.
To obtain the best results from our
bees they should be fed to stimulate
brood rearing, so that our colonies
will be very strong at fruy bloom.
To do this we must begin to feed as
early as the weather will permit the
bees to fly at least once week. Some
mild day soon after removing them
from the cellar, all colonies should
be closed on what combs they will
cover with sufficient stores to last
two or three weeks, placing the un-
occupied combs in the outside of the
follower.
When feeding time arrives prepare
your feed, either poor grade of
honey, maple sirup, or better still
granulated sugar, which should be
about the consistency of newly gath
cred honey. If sugar is used the pro-
portion is equal parts of sugar and
water. 1t may be fed without heat
ing, but l prefer to bring it to scald
and to put it in the combs and feed
while milk warm. Take the combs
to be used, uncapping what honey
they contain, and fill the empty por-
ton with the sirup. Rest the comb
over the tank in slanting position
with the top bar up and dip the sirup
on it with dipper having perforated
bottom. Place one comb next to the
cluster once n week. removing the one
given last.-Orange Judd Farmer.

cold climate, where ice and snow

in Norfolk was considered an evil

Find. Very Ancient Coin.

William Z. Davis, n veteran of the
Forty-second Indiana infantry, living
at Flora, ILL.,, has a Roman coin which
he found while campaigning in the
Philippines and which numismatists
claim is more than 1,600 years old.
Authorities say the coin was struck
by the Emperor MaXiminus in 236 A.
d. The coin is in an excellent state
of preservation and the inscriptions
are legible. 1t is the size of an Amer
lean dollar and is made of bronze.
The diverse bears the head of the
emperor and the inscription reads,
'Maximinus Plus Augustus Germani-
GUS" and the reverse has the figure
of a man bearing aloft an olive
branch and bears the words, Pax
Augusti." 1t is supposed the coin
found its way from Spain to the
Philippines years ago and was lost

president Roosevelt" said an old
resident of Washington, has many of
the tastes and traits of Gen. Grant. Of
course he is more loquacious and do
not doubt that he will make better
administrative officer, but, like Gen.
Grant, he doesn't wish to have sort
of halo thrown around him because he
is the president of the United States.
He walks to church and he permits his
children to romp. Gen. Grants chill
dren were not so young as the Roose-
welt heirs, but just the same they ruled
the unofficial end of the white house.
"Gen. Grant walked nearly every
where he went and a stranger who had
never seen his portrait would probably
have taken him, on one of his trips from
the white house to the capitol, for a
countryman seeing the sights. He was
the greatest window gazer / ever knew.
Anything novel would attract him. l
can see him now, in my mind, with the
inevitable cigar between his teeth,
standing in front of some store in
Pennsylvania avenue looking at bau-
bles designed to atttact women and
children. And so democratic was
President Grant in his habits that the
crowd passed him by.
81 SUPPOSE" continued the Washing
ton pan, according to the New York
Times, that If the president to-day
were to stop on the street to look in a
window he would be- hemmed in by a
crowd. Not so with Gen. Grant. He
came and went like an ordinary citizen,
returning salutations in his austere
way, and without seeming to realize
that ha occupied the most exalted po-
sition in the land"

HE CAUGHT THE PRINCESS.
Although Disguised She Was Caught

An entertaining story comes from
the French Alps of Dauphiny, relat-
ing the futile efforts of the Princess
of Croy, who desired to enter the
monastery of the Grande Chartreuse,
a habitation from which women visit
ors are rigidly excluded, says an ex

The story runs that the princess
dressed herself in boys clothes, and
accompanied her husband to the in
stitution. The gates were opened to
them, and the prince sent his card to
the father superior, with line to the
effect that he was accompanied by a
friend.
Just as they were about to make
the round of the building, the word
was received that the father would
like to see the prince and "his friend

monk kept gazing sharply at her.
At last he exclaimed suddenly:

time throwing at her a large pear,
The princess was startled and, thrown
completely off her guard, made a
feminine motion to grab up her skirt

in her confusion.
Then the father stopped smiling
and said, with great gravity:

mong commercial authorities that
he 1901 faxseed crop of the United
tates will prove to be the largest
ever produced in this country. Early
in the season considerable divergence
of opinion was expressed both as to
acreage and yield, and estimates of
production ranged from about co.
100000 to 32,000,000 bushels. Lately,
however, the range has been mar
rowed and now there is practical

CHICKEN COOP DOOR.

Experience is necessary in planning
and making preparations for winter.
1t is not an easy matter for mex

had given perfect satisfaction.

construction that any farmer who
