When He was Twenty-One.

There is young criminal lawyer
in the city who, on the occasion of his
becoming of age, began the celebra-
ton of his birthday in a way that
caused his household a great deal of
CONSERVATION.
On the eve of the fete, shortly after
midnight, the young mans family
were suddenly startled from their
slumbers by loud voice in the house
calling, There's a man in the house!
There's man in the house,"
The valiant paterfamilias rushed
from his room, bearing in his hands a
heavy billet of fire wood, to learn the
cause of the disturbance and to
capture the intruder. His son was
standing in the hall, shouting at the
top of his voice.
Where's the man." exclaimed the
old gentleman.
Here, sir; here!" proudly replied
the young men, This is he. At last
I'm 21!''-Memphis Scimitar

Moonshiner Was Well Fixed.

Deputy Collector Ware and Deputy
Marshal Williams returned last week
from raid in Jackson and Washing
ton counties in Florida, in which they
captured and destroyed 16 illicit
stills. The raid was a notable one.
At one place a nice home was entered
by the officers, which was a surprise
to them in the way of comfort and
convenience and furnishings, and they
were doubtful at first of the informa-
ton they had received. The owner
was a man who had come from
Indiana. He was we'll off in the
worlds goods, and when the officers
entered his house they found the
floors carpeted with soft Brussels car
pets and the house furnished elegant,
ly. Then entered the kitchen and
found it model of neatness, while in
the stove was nice copper boiler
from which ran worm, and from the
worm there trickled tiny stream of
good liquor. The man was badly
scared and told the officers it was
his. first attempt at running an illicit
still. The outfit was, of course, des-
troyed, and the man served with a.
warrant to answer the charge of illicit
distilling.-Columbus (Ga.) Leader.

A Wonderful Daisy.

A daisy has been produced in Cali
fornia that is floral wonder
Measuring more than a foot in circum-
ference and with three or more rows
of petals of purest white, it is as yet
merely a beautiful curiosity, but be
fore long it is likely to find it's way
into general cultivation. The new
daisy is very hardy, easily grown and
an extremely free bloomer. 1t has
been named the Shasta daisy" and
the grower who originated it, Luther
Burbank, says that it was obtained by
crossing the common American field
daisy with the Japanese and European
kinds. The flowers when cut remain
perfectly fresh and in good condition
for two weeks or more. 1t is likely
to become very popular for decorative
purposes Boston Transcript.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Street railway mileage in Penn
sylvania since 1887 has increased
from SIG miles to 1859, or by more
than 200 per cent This period is
commensurate with the use of cleo
tricity as a motive power.
Employees Of the Michigan Central
railroad have voted down proposal
for service pensions, the fund to be
largely created from their own wages.
A similar plan presented to the en-
ployes of the Chicago, Milwaukee and
st. Paul railroad by the management
recently was also voted down by the
men. In both cases the attitude of
the employees was that they favor a
pension system when others create the
fund, and are against it when they
must create the fund.

The Illinois Central will expend

phone will make misunderstanding
almost impossible. When two men

Foice, it is incomparably easier to
reach an agreement than when the
mode of communication is an inter-
change of documents. Time is saved
and ambiguity avoided. Besides, IN
the present case, the use OF the tel
phone will enable the train dispatcher
to talk directly With the conductor or
engineer This is no small adVan-
tage. 1t eliminates the mlddle man

self about ANYTHING of which he is IN

any such fear. The telephone has so
many points in which it outclasses
the telegraph that, as improvements
are made, it's steady advance cannot

Facts for Our Farmers.

water, but it has not really reached
the boiling point 1T is only when the
thermometer reaches PIP degrees
Fahrenheit and the water is in rapid
motion that it can be said to boil; and
the atmospheric gases still continue
to be given off with the steam for a
considerable time after the water has
commenced to boil rapidly in fact,
it is difficult to determine when the
last traces have been expelled. 1t is
safe to suppose, however, that ten mill
utes boiling will free the water from
it's gases, make it tasteless, and rem
der it unfit for the making of tea, cot
fee or other light infusions of delicate
materials-Ladies Home Journal
Milk and Beef Cattle.
The growing popularity of the hand
separator makes the practice of allow
ing the calves to suck the COWS a
questionable one. 1t has been fully
demonstrated that good steers can be
raised upon skim milk, the lost fat be-
ing substituted by fiaXseed meal.
Gains equally large, and more eco
nomical, have been secured at the Iowa
experiment station when corn was
used as the supplementary food. If
labor is not so scarce as to preclude
the practicability of milking and hand
feeding, one cannot afford to- lose
sight of the difference between the
price of butter fat and of corn.
In calf feeding by hand it is import
ant to feed at a temperature as nearly
as possible the same as that of the
milk of the dam, to feed regularly
three times a day at first, and always
in limited quantities. AS the amount
of milk available gradually decreases
the supplementary grain feed is in
creased, and the calf is eventually
weaned and started upon grain and
fodder without any preceptible check

THE OLD COW BELL.

am carried back to childhood,
To the days of long ago,
When we wandered in the wildwood
Where the ripping waters flow.
There we gathered youthful treasures
Near the pasture by the mill,
And we romped, with thrilling pleas
ureS,
Till we'd hear the old COW bell.
Oh. the pleasant recollection
Of those joyous woodland plays!
How it links my hearts affection
With those happy childhood days!
How we rambled through the meadows
Even yet love to tell;
And, with evenings gath'riug shadows,
Listen for the old COW bell.

New Use for GARNER Pigeons.

Carrier pigeons have been put to
novel use by a physician of Rockford,
Me. On one occasion he was called to
an island twenty miles distant 70
attend a patient who was seriously i'll.
To reach this island he was obliged
to make dangerous trip. Before he
returned to the mainland he gave
the family of his patient six homing
pigeons which were to be used as
messengers to inform him of the
patients condition. A pigeon was dis
patched as often as necessary, carry
ing assurance to the physician of the
patients steady progress toward re
covery.

A Telephone "Meter."

Thomas Baret of Sydney, New
South Wales, has recently obtained a
patent for an invention by which the
actual length of the time that tele-
phone is used on any occasion can be
measured, so that the company may
charge the subscriber only for the
actual service he has had. A sub
scriber who, in the course of day,
should use the telephone for an hour
would pay for that length of time, and
not the same amount as another sub
scriber would pay who would perhaps
use his telephone several hours each
day. The telephone meter" consists
of a clockwork mechanism which is
quiet when the telephone is not in use,
but which begins to move the moment
the receiver is lifted from the hook,
and so registers the length of time the
instrument is employed. The appara-
tus is so arranged that the up-and-
down movement of the lever switch
winds up the clockwork. A dial plate
indicates how long the telephone has
been in use.

Winter Shelter.

A mistake made by great many
with the mutton breeds of sheep is
putting them inside whenever there is
little rain or rough weather, and in
the late autumn many put them in ut
night. Sheep used in this way are
much more liable to disease than those
allowed to take the natural course.
We can see large flock of Shropshire
sheep after heavy rains and SHOWS
shake themselves and be nearly dry
on the outside and perfectly dry on
the inside of the fleece, and never any
indications Of catarrh about them.
Keep sheep in the most natural condi-
tons possible with plenty of whole
some food for best results. Robert

new train man is proposed by
writer in Chicago paper, in discuss
ing the question How to Avoid Rail-
way Wrecks. He says: Il have
suggestion to make which IN my
opinion would materially reduce the
liability of railroad wrecks. Provide
each train with a train pilot-a re-
liable man to do nothing else but
have the movement Of the train in
charge. He would receive all orders
from the dispatcher and send reports
to agents or blockhouse keepers as to
the whereabouts of his train, time OF
arrival and departure at and from
each station. This pilot should be
dressed in an entirely different uni
form from the other trainmen, so that
in a short time the travelling pubic
would know his duties. AS it is the
conductor no matter how capable he
may be, has so many things to annoy
and vex him which tend to take his
mind off his train orders. He has to
collect fares, give receipts, answer
thousand questions, remember sleepy
passenger, besides watching for sta
lions and other trains and making up
his reports. The engineer has to look
after his locomotive, which is two
engines, and he has plenty to do be-
sides keeping so many orders in his
mind, and fretting and worrying about
a few minutes time lost. The fire
man is also busy man, and so is the
brakeman. A man who has sufficient
ability to be conductor of a passen-
ger train and not make mistakes
should have far superior position
he should be president of the road. Ii
the railroad companies will give full
charge of each of their trains to one
competent man, and have him do moth
ing else, they will save millions of dol
lars worth of property and many
lives

Resembling each other in general way, but coming from different ends of the world. are the HlaWarra palm. 8 native of Australia, and the mountain cabbage. which, in the West Indies, furnishes from among it's cluster of leaves a much esteemed vegetable. These, together with the sago palm. date palm. umbrella palm and fan palm, are on exhibition.
 Passing from the palm house to the west wing of the buildings one smells the pleasant odor of pineapple plants. Here also is the curious pitcher plant from the East Indies. with its pitchers half filled with water. hanging from the ends of the leaves by a slender green pipe about eight inchs long. Farther on, in one of the larger houses, are ba- mana trees from Abyssinia. with most perfect leaves, fully twelve feet long. Nver having suffered from high winds, the leaves are not whipped to pieces like those that grow outdoors. It would probably be rifficult to find anywhere better proportioned specimens of the banana. They are now in fruit, which will ripen in few weeks.
 In the same house with the century plant are specimens of the screw pine, a tree that is unique in many respects. As it grows the trunk and leaves grad ually twist themselves in the form of giant corkscrew, and it seems to have the power of carrying out this effect without becoming distorted The roots of this tree shoot out from the trunk above the ground, and in the course of time find their way into the earth.
 Among the cactuses are the night blooming cereus. whose beautiful flow CTS give off a most powerful perfume, the common Turks head, the prickly pear and variety that grows like a fiuted column. The latter is about twelve feet high, and is entirely cov- cred with needles. There are hundreds of other varieties, too, one of which de- serves mention. This is the CroWn-of- thorns, rOpularly supposed to have been the plant used at the torture of Christ. It is an interesting little plant, with pretty pink flowers.
 Those who have never seen orange trees covered with yellow fruit can find them at the conservatories. The fruit, though not large. is perfect. Just as interesting are the Australian tree ferns. twelve feet high and the ferns with leaves that look as if they are coated with silver.
 So large and diversified is the eXhi- bition that it is not possible to gain an adequate idea of it's proportions in one visit. The gardeners use many of the tricks of their profession in caring for the plants. One is to train creepers to climb the trunks of the tall palms, and another is the use of potatoes for catching insects. Half a potato is placed on the top of the soil in each pot, and the insect, instead of attack ing the leaves of the plant, in many cases crawls to the potato, where it is caught and destroyed.-New York Eve ming Post.
