Real Economy.

Peoples ideas of economy differ
widely. True economy does not con-
sist in going without, but in using
what one has in such manner as to
secure the most from it. That woman
exercises the truest kind of economy
who, having limited supply of pota-
toes, pares them so carefully that the
supply lasts seven days, rather than
she who, from pairing them lavishly,
is compelled to go without the sew
enth day for lack of material. That
waitress trained in restaurant where
as she said, all the profit lay Gin how
to slice thin," who was complimented
upon the acceptable manner in which
she sliced cold meat for the family
dinner, had learned, though inadvert-
emily perhaps, the secret of true econ
omy from more than one point OF
view.-ErchGnge.

Greatest Tunnel in the World.

An application by the Vanderbilt
Webb interests for power to construct,
maintain and operate subway under
the st. Lawrence between South Shore
and Montreal will come before the
railway committee of the privy coun-
Gil this week says Montreal despatch
to the New York Times. The plans
which are now at Ottawa indicate that
the tunnel will be the largest in the
world. 1t will begin at the South
Shore near Longueuil, pass under st.
Helen's Island thence into the city to
a central point of the east end, where
a central station will be erected. The
tunnel will not only be medium for
the Quebec Southern trains and for
electric street cars but for the inter-
changing of all business traffic be-
tween the South Shore, st. Helen's
Island and Montreal. The subway
will have two tubes each 81 feet wide
and 81 feet high. The first will be for
cars, passengers and freight, and will
be double tracked. The second will
be for teams and pedestrians, having
drives and footways. The cost is es
timated at from 81, 600, 900 to st, 900, 900.

What We Need.

l have discovered, what lots of
other folks are also learning, that
what we need in this life is simplicity.
Instead of making existence in
creasingly complex, we should make
it progressively simple. Who will tell
us how to apply simplicity in our
homes, our work, duties, life? For
one thing, have learned from exper-
fence to buy only what is either use
full or ornamental or both. I have
quit attaching myself to a lot of use
less junk, as I did form erly before I
screwed up courage enough to throw
this stuff out of my house.-Good

HOusewifely Duties.

The woman who makes homemade
bread which is ga heavy compound of
putty and lead" is guilty of criminal
incapacity and and lack of intelli-
gence which are far more contempt
ible and more far reaching in their
evil results to those who are depend
emit on her table than any other ignor-
ance. No intellectual achievement
of any woman whose position makes
her a housekeeper and puts human
health and life in her hands can be
considered if she fails in the primary
duties which are necessarily hers.
There are many women who are never
called on to cook or to supervise a
family who are successful lin other
ways, but the woman whose circum-
stances are such that she must
accomplish the duties of a house
wife and who fails to meet those du-
ties intelligently and successfully can
have no possible sympathy from any
intelligent person. 1t is not intellect
ual women who have made notable
failures in housekeeping, but shallow,
silly women, who would make failures
in any position in life. 1t is pleasant
to remember George Eliot's interest
in her cooking recipes and Charlotte
Bronte's tenderness toward the old
servant who failed to take the eyes
out of her potatoes, which Miss
Bronte removed surreptitiously, for
fear of hurting the feelings of the
purblipd old woman. Numberless
other instances might be named of
really great women who have been
exceedingly capable in household
matters.-N. Y. Tribune Farmer.

You can do better. Zinc is hard to mix: re-

mixed in, but ground in.

THE cATALpA spEcIosA.
More Ornamental or Useful
Than This One.

Catalpa speciosa is a soft wood, and
all soft woods that l am acquainted
with, with the exception of this one,
are OF little value except for inside
work. What gives catalpa wood it's re-
markable durability is not yet well un-
derstood, but experience has proven It
to be far more durable than oak, both
in the ground and above 1t. 1t grows
very rapidly from seed. Iplanted some
seed in a piece of rich soil, and many
of the plants reached height of five
feet that season. The seedlings have
an immense tap root that goes deep
into the ground and makes the digging
of the seedlings, if well grown, no easy
task. The wood of these young trees
has much the appearance of cottonS
wood, and one would judge it to be of
little value, but as the trees increase
in size the wood becomes more dense,
though never hard like oak. No matter
how dry it becomes it is never hard to
cut or drive nails into, and for this rea-
son it would make a much better post
than oak, even If it did not last three
or four times as long as oak.
This is the wood for farmers to grow.
If they would plant billion trees this
year it would mean that the country
would soon be n billion dollars richer.
If you can buy the seedlings buy them.
They can be had for about three dollars
a thousand. If you cannot afford seed
lings buy an ounce of seed, sow it in
drills in rich soil, keep all weeds out,
and next spring set the trees where
they are to stand. Whether you buy
the seedlings or seed be sure that they
are Speciosa. Be doubly sure of it. If
you have a rough spot or side hill
cover It with this valuable tree. Set
them about six by eight feet apart, and
when they reach post size cut out each
alternate tree, leaving them eight by
IL feet apart. The catalpa must have
room. 1t will not bear crowding after
it gets up 30 feet or so. The seed is
winged like maple seed and should b.
covered about an inch deep. Drop them
about six inches apart. If the seed
does not all appear sound drop two in
hill. 1fplanted where they are to stand
permanently drop three in place, and
pull out all but one plant when foot
high. Both seed and seedlings can be
had at the leading nurseries.-Fred
Grundy, in Farm and Fireside.

THE GROWTH OF PIGS.
A Subject which shoud He studied
Patiently and Thoroughly by
Every Farmer.

1t is now pretty generally under
stood that sheep and cattle make
gains at the least cost near the birth
period, and also that most rapidly,
says the Farmer, of st. Paul, Minn.
This is owing to the greater activity
of the secretions when animals are
young. But this explanation does not
so well apply to the case of swine.
After several years of experimenting
at the Minnesota experiment station,
1T has been ascertained that pigs do
not gain nearly so rapidly when they
are young as when of more mature
age. When they are on the SOW it was
difficult to make them gain pound
day. After weaving for two or three
months they seldom made more than
one and one-half pounds per day, but
after, say, five or six months they
gained well on two pounds per day.
Thus it has been shown in several in
stances that between the ages of two
and eight months pigs have made the
most rapid increase in weight. The
experiments referred to were not
made. with a view to test this ques-
tion but these results came out incl
dentally in a large number of tests.
As result on the casual manner in
which these conclusions were reached,
the relative cost of the gains cannot
be given, but it is probable those made
near the birth period were the least
costly, owing to the small amount rela-
lively of the food consumed. This is
a great question. 1t ought to be fur
ther investigated. The experience re-
ferred to calls up the thought that it
may be possible to market pork too
young to bring the grower the greater
profit, even when swine are sold as
young as six or seven months, the pop
ular age at which to SELL These re-
suits in swine growing, so different
from those obtained in growing cat
tie and sheep, are well worth the clos
est study.

him leave his mother and come to
you across the yard or field.
If you have to work the mare, do
not let the foal follow as he gets
tired and leg weary. Young colts
spend great deal of time lying
down. Shut him in a box stall, or
what is better, in company with an
other foal. He will soon become con-
tented. AS soon as he becomes ac-
customed to eating, give little
ground oats and wheat bran in his
feed box, and if in the stable with his
dam, it is we'll to have box separate
from the dam where she cannot eat
his feed.
The colt should be taken from the
dam at from four to five months old
and put in n pasture by himself or
with other colts and have a regular
feed of ground oats and bran once
or twice per day. From the first
years good feed and care, the beauty
of the coming horse is developed.
You cannot begin to educate him too
young by handling his head and feet.
When three or four months old, put
on a halter. Take about 40 feet of
cord, double it, tie knot in the
doubled cord so that the loop will
slip over the colts rump or quarters
but not up under the tail. Have the
knot in the loop come about in front
of saddle. Run ends of cord through
each side of the ring of halter, stand
in front of the colt and give gentle
pull. If he does not come readily,
step little to one side and pull
quick. You will throw him off his
guard and balance, and in Is minutes
you will have your colt educated to
lead.
When older, coming two years old,
hitch your colt on the off side of a
gentle horse, for a few times. so he
will learn to drive, and in meeting
teams, electric cars, etc, he will have
what he will consider the protection
of the older horse. Then put him on
near side, changing back and forth
from one side to the other. Then
some day, after good drive, if your
colt is spirited, put on the single har-
ness and you will find very near
perfectly broken colt, safe to drive
past electric cars, etc. We used to
break colts with a whip; ROW we edu-
cate them without this cruel instru-
ment.-A. B. Donelson, in Farm and
Home.

MEET AFTER Al YEARS.
Cousins who Parted In Anger to En-
ter the Two Armies In 1861
Meet Again.

John c. Anderson and r. L. Dobson,
of Louisville, KY, were lately visiting
at the home of Policeman Frank Dob
son, Mechanicsville. Mr.. Anderson is
a cousin of Policeman Dobson, and Il.
l., Dobson, brother. Mr.. Andersonis
a stone cutter. Mr.. Dobson is cornice
maker, relates the Knoxville (Tenn.)
Journal.
Mr.. Anderson, who is now in the
sixties, has not visited Knoxville since
he left here in 1861, to join the confed-
crate army. His departure was dra-
matte and his return closes a quarrel
which he began when he left. He and
another cousin, Il. NJ Eliza, of Kern
Place, North Knoxville, were young
men and much together a short time
before the civil war began. AS the
war came on and sectional bitterness
and prejudices rose to a high pitch,
the views held by the two cousins grew
wider apart. One night in the early
days of 1861, they were up town to-
gether. They argued the questions
and discussed the issues, Anderson
ably upholding the southern side and
Eliza just as ably upholding the union
side. They walked home, all the time
keeping up heated argument. When
near large sycamore tree, which yet
stands on Jacksboro street, they
stopped and continued their discus
sion. Under the sycamore the cousins
quarreled over the issues of states
rights and slavery until late in the
night, each trying to convince the
other that he was right. Finally they
parted, Eliza declaring that if he met
Anderson in battle he would treat him
as he would any other rebel. An
derson told Ezra that, should he see
him in battle he would shoot him as he
would any other Yankee. They parted
in anger, and, eager to defend their
respective principles, both left that
night to join their respective armies.
The fortunes of war were not un-
kind to either, though both felt the
dangers and hardships the older, and
both were wounded. Anderson was
severely wounded at one time; Eliza,
on returning from the war, was aboard
the ill-fateo Sultana, and was one of
the survivors of the horrible explosion
of the boats boilers.
Eliza returned to this city, and has
made his home here since. Anderson
went to Louisville, the Mecca of thou
sands of confederate soldiers at the
close of the Neither man had for
given the other, though as the years

THE CROSS AND

Jasper Flint was an an

DRoFESSoR Jasper Flint was an an
tiquarian, and Aramaic scholar, a
collector of coins and an atheist. Coin
collecting was mania with him. Jas
per Flint was as hard in his heart and in
his life as is the stone from which he
took his name. Unlike the flint, how
ever, no steel, or anything else, for that
matter, could strike fire from the pro-
fessor. With him religion was sneer.
The only things that he loved were the
coins in his collection case, and his
work in the Oldberry library, where he
translated ancient manuscripts for a
livelihood.
it was the first bright afternoon Of
spring. The southern sun came warm
through the plate glass window of the
little library-room where Prof. Flint
sat all alone at his work of transla-
ton. He had gone through some
Syrian material thoroughly, but with
little interest. The air was close; he
felt drowsy and twice he nodded. Sud
denly he saw lying on the table be-
yond the little wicker paper basket a
cylinder with the end open. He took
st up and found a roll of parchment pro-
truding. The professor was surprised.
The librarian had not told him of this
addition to the afternoons work. He
unrolled the parchment and saw in an
instant that the characters were
Arabic. He read few lines and a
look of amazement came into his face.
He finished the reading and trembled.

which were drawn in a corner. "The

In 1864 Gen. Sheridan, under orders,
burned every barn from valley above
Stanton to a point below Winchester.
A band of angry confederates fol-
lowed the union troops, waiting for a
chance to pick up stragglers. Among
those who fell into their hands was a
Pennsylvania Dutchman.
He turned quietly to his captors and
irquired "Vat you fellows going to
do nit me?"
The reply came short and sharp:
"We're going to hang you!"
"Oh, very WELL" he said, meekly;
"vateffer is de rule"
His unexpectedly calm and good
natured reply threw the confederates
into n roar of laughter, and saved his
life.-Philadelphia Times.
