Feeding Value of Apples.

The experience of careful farmers in
dicates that apples are worth more for
feeding than the usual cider mill price.
A Massachusetts dairyman who had a
lot of low grade apples began on a
large, old COW. which was nearly dry,
feeding her in connection with her sum-
mer pasture exclusively two quarts Of
hard Greetings and Baldwins at night
and the same quantity in the morning,
gradually increasing until at the end of
a week she was eating about one bushel
per day. Her milk increased from four
to six quarts per day. Where there are
short pastures and the necessity of Civ
ing cows some extra food inferior grade
apples may be turned to profitable ac-
count-Farm and Home.

A SILK STRING CURE.
Effective In n Severe Case OF
Lumbngo.

In Gen. +. c. Latrobe's varied and ex-
tensive mail during the pa st year there
have been hundreds of letters begging
him to send the writer's some of his
renowned silken strings for the cure
of lumbago, reports the Baltimore
Sun.
While Gen. Latrobe was attending
the sessions of the last legislature, and
was incidentally nursing a severe case
of lumbago, S. w. Pattison met him
one day and suggested that il he
would simply tie a silk string about
his waist next to the skin he would
be cured. The general experienced
an unusually severe twinge that night,
and in desperation ordered his man
servant, Robert, to tie on the string.
From that time the lumbago began
to depart until the next day, when
it entirely disappeared. Gen. Latrobe
was enabled to stay in Annapolis.
The story Of his cure becoming
noised abroad, letters began to come
in by the score, until finally, in order
TO find time to attend to any other
business. Gen. Latrobe referred all let
ters to his man Robert, whom he there
upon gave the name Of DR.. Wilson.
Since that time CDR" Wilson, spe-
cialist in lumbago, has been making
a tidy little income selling silk strings
of the proper curative kind.

FEW ROYAL DIVORCES.
Separations Have Not Been Numerous
Among the Titled During the
Last Century.

A royal divorce is very rare event;
indeed, those which have taken place
during the last century-even. .inc,ud-
ing the most famous of all, that of
Emperor Napoleon /. and his unfor-
tunate consort, Josephine may be
counted on the fingers of one hand,
says the Detroit Free Press. To these
must now be added the divorce, on
grounds of hopeless incompatibility
of temper, of two of Queen Victoria's
grandchildren namely, the grand duke
and grand duchess of Hesse. The
grand duke is the only surviving son
of the late Princess Alice; he has
several sisters, of whom the best
known are the empress of Russia and
Princess Henry of Prussia, while yet
a third, Princess Louise of Battenberg,
has now lived for many years in Eng
land. The grand duchess is the second
daughter of the late duke of Sake
Coburg and Gotha and she spent much

How Travellers Are Treated.

The accommodations and conven-
fences offered their patrons by the
American railroads are known the
world over, but one part not often
noted is the arrangements made at
the principal stations for the varied
wants of travellers.
A notable example of this will be
found in the Philadelphia terminus of
the Philadelphia & Reading Railway.
"The Reading Terminal" 18th and
Market Streets, Philadelphia.
Travellers allghting in this magnih-
cent building will find uniformed por-
tiers (pald by the Company to assist
ladies, or other passengers, cucumber.
ed with baggage. They have within
reach rolling chairs for use of nvalds
or decrepit persons.
On the train (or second) floor of
the building is a commodious waiting
room, with separate ladies' room in
charge of an obliging matron, broad,
easy flight of stairs leads from the
waiting room to Ticket Office etc.
Two elevators with obliging attend
ants are ready to take travellers, espe-
cially ladies, aged or inhrm persons,
either way between the two floors
On the same floor is the "Bureau
of Information" equipped with all the
latest time tables, and prepared to
furnish information in reference to any
railroad, etc, in the country. A part
of this department is package room
where parcels, grips, etc, can be
checked at slight expense. A fine
well-equipped Barber Shop, Shoe
Backing room and good Restaurant
where hurried lunch or a frst-clas'
meal can be obtained, ladies entrance
from Waiting Room.
On the ground floor, entrance di
rect from Market street, are located
the Ticket Office, Messenger, Tele

large number of those present had
come to the same conclusion, they
accepted his dlctum and adjourned.
-
A sharp tilt occurred recently in
the Senate Committee on Inter
Oceanic canals when Senator Nor
gan, chairman of the Committee,
openly accused Senator Hanna OF
wilfully obstructng canal legislation.
Senator Morgan, so l am told, even
went so far as to accuse the Senator
from Ohio of greater solicitude for
his friends, the trans continental rail
roads, than for the individually ex-
pressed wishes Of the American peo-
pie. Senator Hanna is said to have
turned very red under the Alabaman's
charges and then to have denied
them in no uncertain terms and a
more severe encounter was only pre-
vented by the interference of the
other members of the committee.
When the canal question comes up
for consideration on the floor of the
Senate the same accusations are like
J ly to be implied but in a more velled
form and 1t is hardly likely that the
dlgnifed Senate will be treated to the
dramatic scene which occurred in
Senator Morgan's committee room.

vania, told me yesterday that he was
