Climate and Crop Bulletin.

= I + s
The very wet conditions of previous
weeks continue in the Red River val
ley, SO that very little or no seeding
has been possible. In other parts Of
the state field work has been partly or
enterely suspended because of the wet
condition Of the soil. In the south
west considerable corn has been plant
ed, but elsewhere, except in small
areas, warmer weather is being waited
for before planting. Flax seed and
potato planting are generally well adj
vanced, and the earliest are coming
up. It is said that the soil is in isplen-
did condition for sowing flax on newly
turned sod. There seem to be poor
stands in few fields in the south
where broadcasted wheat and oats
were blown out or buried by the wind
storms of April, but generally all the
small grains are in fine and healthy
condition, the abundant moisture and
cool weather being very favorable for
these grains Stooling is going on
satisfactorily in the early sown fields.
Pastures are growing nicely, notwith-
standing the cool weather. Clover and
timothy promise well. The plum bios
SONS are nearly over, and apple and
cherry trees are ready to burst into
bloom.

A Gigantic Power station.

Gigantic Power Station.
i Much interest has been aroused among
all who follow the enormous strides
that the practical application Of engi.
neering and mechanical science is now
making by the recent completion Of the
great power station Of the Manhattan
Elevated railway, in New York city.
It is the largest power station in the
world. Its immense engine plant COM
prises eight units, each possessing a
maximum of 1850 horsepower, or 1OO,.
600 horsepower for the entire plant.
There are seven substaions, located at
different points in the city, and the
main station is capable Of delivering
10000 electrical horsepower in the form
of a three phase current for driving the
trains on the elevated railway system.
The alternators, with their rotating
magnetic fields driven by the engines
at the central station, are forty-two
feet in diameter and weigh each 4451h
tons. The rotating "leld" alone weighs
1S5 tons.

Linco1n,s Ingenious Scheme.

AT a dinner in Boston a former
resident of Springfield, Ill, told 3
story of Lincoln, which is sufficient
ly characteristic of the man, as the
country remembers him, to be unlike
most Lincoln anecdotes in being true.
The relater said: "The fire hose
company of Springfield was very
proud of it's well-equipped fire ap-
paratus, and, desiring to procure
some extra supplies, subscription pa
pers were sent around. The small
boys, myself among the number,
were given a share in the work. I
went up to some dusty rooms over a
grocery and entered the law Office
of Lincoln. He asked me numberless
questions, and I had to tell him all I
knew of this fire brigade and it's
members. Then he said: We'll, I'll
tell you what I'll do. I'll go home to
supper-Mrs. Lincoln is generally
good-natured after supper-and then
I'll tell her I've been thinking of Civ
ing $50 to the brigade, and she'll say:
abe, will yo never have any sense?
Twenty dollars is quite enough So
tomorrow, my boy, you come around
and get your 500 Troy Times.

FADs OF The FASHIONABLE.
lowers of the Latest in
Dress.

White pongee is recommended as
one of the most serviceable materials
for the blouse waist to be worn in the
morning with the street suit, says
fashion authority.
One of the special novelties in hats
is large toque of white chiffon and
ermine tails, trimmed with black swal-
lows.
The small French position, some
what wider at the bottom than at the
length, is attached to the newest Elton
jackets, lined with white satin.
Pink in all shades from the deep
claret pink, which needs perfect
skin for its near proximity, is to be
the highest note of summer color.
Pale shrimp pink, deep coral pinks,
delicate rose pinks, which seem to
change to white as one looks, and the
lovely strawberry pinks are all to be
seen in windows and on counters just
now.
Sable furs are especially distin-
guished with the white gown; and re-
ally about the most luxurious gown
you can have is white cloth trimmed
handsomely with Irish lace and worn
with sable, which are so effective in
contrast.
Very smart fur toques have a per-
fectly fat crown of ermine, sable or
chinchilIa, and brim underneath of
velvet, twisted prettily or made in a
series of tucks. This sort of hat has
a bunch of flowers put on quite fat
at one side.
Irish lace still holds a prominent
place in the blouse department. Tt
is used for both loose and close-fitting
boleros, in bands arranged in various
ways, and for collars and deep cuffs.
In pure white it is one of the prettiest
laces there is, for any purpose where
heavy lace is desired.

MATTERS OF FACT.

Turkey exports about $4,000, 900
worth of opium annually.
The production of cotton goods in
ItalF has doubled in five years.
The newest fancy buckles are of
gold or gilt metal, with a background
of black satin ribbon. Many of these
are set with real or imitation Jewels.
Use cheap varnish to attach labels to
maple strip cans, to cans of tea and
coffee, to boxes of spices, starch, etc.,
and all glass bottles. Never leave
glass bottle without a label.
The regular deficit in the Turkish
finances appears to be from $40, oo0, 900
to $12, 100000 every year; and at the be-
ginning of last year it represented an
accumulated deficit of $55, DOC, 900.
The crow and the blackbird fly much

LINCOLN AND STEPHENS.
Story of Vice President of the Con.
federacy and the Civil War
President.

Gen. Horace Porter, in his Cam
paigntng with Grant," tells story of
the meeting at City Point between
Alexander II. Stephens, vice president
of the confederate states, and other
southern commissioners, and Pres
ident Lincoln and Secretary Seward to
discuss preliminaries of peace. Many
officers, including Gen. Grant and Gen.
Porter, were in attendance on this
meeting.
Vice President Stephens was a sal
low, understood man, whose skin
seemed shriveIed on his bones. One
of the officers said of him, at the end
of an interview: "The Lord seems to
have robbed that mans body of all its
flesh and blood to make brains of
them"
On his arrival, Mr.. Stephens, says
Gen. Porter, was wrapped from his
eyes to his heels in coarse gray over
coat about three sizes too large for
him, with a collar SO high that it
threatened to lift his hat off every
time he leaned his head back.
The coat, together with his COM
plexion, which was as yellow as ripe
ear of corn, gave rise to a characterize
ton by Mr.. Lincoln which was very
amusing. The next time Mr.. Lincoln
saw Gen. Grant at City Point, after
the conference, he said to him:
Grant, did you notice Stephens
coat?"
ooh, yes" answered the general
''Wen," continued Mr.. Lincoln, "soon
after we assembled on the steamer at
Hampton Roads, the cabin began to get
pretty warm, and Stephens stood up
and pulled off his big coat. He pulled
it off just about as you would husk
an ear, of corn. couldn't help think
ing, as looked first at the coat and
then at the man:

RINGS OF JEwELED KEYS.
Bunehes of Them Are Worn by All
the Ultra Fashionable Girls
This Season.

Bunches of luck, that are made up
of numberless tiny gold ivory, coral
and silver charms, and that have for
the past year been collected and worn
by the faithful, are regarded as a triffe
less fashionable than formerly. This
is because those women who are sup
posed to display the ruling taste in
such matters, have taken of late to
wearing punches of keys, says fash
ion authority. Bunches of luck were
all right so long as a certain amount
of judgment and earnestness of feel
ing was shown in the selection of the
charms, which at first were supposed
to possess powers either for good or
evil, or to represent souvenirs of the
leading incidents in their owners lives.
When, however, women took to buy
ing ready-made punches of luck at
the department stores, the whole value
of the institution disappeared, and
among the elect rings strung with
charming keys have been substituted.
Anywhere from three to five keys are
worn on a ring and the ring is of
gold, silver or a richly colored alloy
of silver or copper. As a rule the ring
is attached to the hook that fastens
the wearer's watch to her long neck
chain, or it hangs with the silver side
bag, and is in itself a choice, artistic
possession. 1t is oval, round, wish
bone shaped, triangular or cut in the
form of an open trefoil. 1t is ex-
quisitely chased, or enamIed, or sprin-
killed. with chip diamonds, that are
sunk deeply in the metal and the keys
upon it are of gold, or silver and di-
verse in size and pattern. None of
them are over an inch and a half in
length and they are all the guardians
of precious secrets or possessions. One
of these keys is always the open
| sesame to a leather covered velvet
lined, silver-mountd topaz, or a small
turquoise is set. Another tiny silver
affair turns the equally small but new
ertheless exceedingly stout lock of a
Morocco, or Russian leather bound
portfolio, and a third-this always a
wee key of gold-secures a metal and
leather band that goes all the way
round the far ones diary.
Now as a rule on a welI-equipped
ring, there is fourth key that is most
of the time discreetly turned on that
small drawer of the dressing table, in
which divers little pots of perfumed
pomade, bottles of tinted liquids, ad-
Unstable ringlets, precious perfumes
ETC., are slowed away. A fifth key of
gold, decorated at the top with a
crown of seed pearls and chased with
strange and lovely designs was de-
scribed, by the girl who first wore one
of these rings, as the key to her heart.
The young man who was deeply i'm
pressed by the delicacy of this senti-
ment, and who rather openly limited at
his ambition to make practical use of
this key, was resentfully disguised a
little later to find that this damsel,
a. well as all of her imitators, really
utilized this fifth and handsomest key
as the means of unfastening the tiny
paddock that held their bull pups or
Irish terriers collar in place.

She had only covered half the dis
lance when a team of carriage horses
swung around the corner.
Too late the coachman saw her.
There was a little scream, two horses
jerked back on their launches and
Madge lay on the pavement, uncon-
scious, with one little arm broken.
Men rushed to pick her up; but one
tall form was ahead of them air Lin
coin, with all the tenderness in his
great heart aroused, stopped and
picked the little form up in his arms.
where does she live ?'' he asked, and
man standing at his side, with
Madge's basket in his hand, volun-
teered to show the way to her home.
Lincoln could have called an ambu-
lance or sent her home in a carriage,
but that was not this great mans way.
Where help was needed he gave it him
self, and so it was that those who were
on Pennsylvania avenue that Lincoln's
birthday saw the president pass along
with little injured girl in his arms.
A short walk and they reached the
house, where Madge's father, steady
ing himself on crutches, met them at
the door.
'Your little girl has been injured;
show me bed and I'll place her on
it," Lincoln said.
A doctor was called and soon Madge
opened her eyes and said:
Papa, the president"
eyes, dear, the president is here and
only waits to know you're all right,
before leaving"
Lincoln bent over the bed and plac-
ing one arm around little Madge said:
won't you give the president a kiss
before he goes?"
Madge raised her head and Lincoln,
lover OF all children. kissed her and
said. 'Gnod-hE, little one, shall look

a very large one was used now.
Little Madge had become an expert
at making sandwiches; never getting
the slices of bread too thick and al
ways having. just enough meat be-
tween them.
She felt rather timid about going
out alone; but what was there to do?
Somebody had to go, for they needed
the money; so she buttoned up her
coat, pulled on her gloves and brave
ly started out.
By keeping away from the crowd
ed streets little Madge soon reached
the place where she and Bonnie al
ways stood.
She had never seen so many people
out before. Everybody was hurrying
along and all were talking about the
latest news of the war. It seemed as
though all Washington was expect
ing to hear that peace had been de-
clared and the war over.
"Good morning. Madge," deep
voice called, and she looked up to see
Congressman Chambers close beside
her, waiting for his usual bunch of
violets.
"where's the brother?'' he asked.
''Sick, sir, but guess he'll be out
again soon"
BUY him something good with
this" the kindly congressman said,
and pressed some change into her
hand.

Suffering Children.

Few mothers realize the Importance
of the care of the throat and nostrils
of the growing child. Enlargement OF
the tonsils and nasal distinctions
are common, and growths fire.

sician says that these troubles, nota-
bly, the latter, becoming chronic, are
often the sole cause of suffering.
''This ailment," says the physician,
''by stopping the nasal channels and
forcing children to breathe through
the mouth, actually binders the re-
freshing activity of breathing, and at
the same time the ability to speak and
think. Often the removal of these ex-

memory and the speech of children to
the degree that indicates their pres
ence to have been the chief cause of
