women and Jewels.

Jewels, candy, flowers, man
that Is the order of woman's pref.
erences. Jewels form a magnetic
mighty power to the average wo-
man. Even that greatest of all
jewels, health, Is often ruined In
the strenuous effort to save the
money to purchase them. IF a
woman will risk her health to get
a coveted gem. then let her fortify
herself against the insiduous conse-
quences ofcoughs, colds and bron.
chial affections by regular use OF

A beautiful effect is produced by pa
pcring the walls Of room, or more
than one, to initiate a network of vines
ending in a border Of blossoms around

PfNFEATHERS.

At this time there is no better place
, for the poultry than in the orchard.
Chickens fatten faster on cooked
than on raw food because 1t is more
easily digeSted.
The flavor and color Of the eggs de.
pend very much on the kind OF food
given to the poultry.
The old hens that are about through
laying should be fattened and market,
ed as soon as possible now.
Uniform chickens are not only pref
Ftier, but they may be fed to better adj
vantage than can flock which is made
lup Of large and small.
Diverted hens are liable to disease.
When leg weakness, egg bound, soft
eggs, large eggs, apoplexy or poor
matches occur, they may be attributed
to Overfeeding.

If you think no houses are needed,

ufacturers here. They will tell you
that 1t Is almost impossible to get
good help for the reason that
good, steady artisans will not come
here because they cannot bring

are looking around for desirable
places In the gas fuel belt to locate
their enterprises, want to know

this city depends upon taking care

what inducement Is there to bring
such a thing about? The people

on the streets. It was the advance
guard of "Boss" Shepherds 1egions.
Within the next three years, from
June 1, 1871, to June "a, 1874, "Boss"
Shepherd ruled Washington with a
rod of iron. Men who began by
praising him ended by cursing him.
AS improvements grew taxes in
creased. Many men were financially
ruined by the burdens imposed upon
them. Newspapers in other cities
were the only avenues for the male
dictions of the citizens; the local
papers were bound hand and foot by
the influence of the "boss" or ST
fenced by knowledge that he was
doing the right thing in improving
Washington, although it was unpop-
ular at the time.
Nothing halted his determination.
The city became n hive of municipal
industry. All streets of any impor-
lance underwent transformation.
They were graded, severed and
paved, and it is now admitted that
the work was well and admirably
done. Some idea of the improve
ments that Shepherd made in Wash
ington may be CLEANED from these
interesting figures. He planted
more than 10000 trees and paved rs
miles of streets, besides laying 2O7
miles of sidewalks. His army of
men dug and carried away 100000
cubic yards of earth. He had con-
structed 317,106 feet of pipe sewers
of 10 to IS inches in diameter, four
miles of sewers from 10 to 30 feet i'm
diameter and over five miles of sew
ers from 3 to feet in diameter. He
laid 30 miles of water pipe and near
ly 60 miles of gas pipe. In addition
to this he constructed 80 miles of
roads in the suburbs of the city.

Nelson rode down several times, and it
was on that occasion he was reported
to have said that mule was worth
more than a man. What he did say. as
a team of mules was foundering in the
water was: Jump in, boys; jump in
and save those mules. Don't you know
that. as we are situated now. a mule
is -worth as much to us as n manY
Several of the men. laughing at the
generals excitement, waded in and

the commissioned officers who crossed
the Tennessee river with him TO the
field of Shiloh. was with him in Lou
