When to wean the Calf.

It is less trouble to wean the calf at
the start and feed it than to allow the.
calf to suck and wean it in the end. If
the calf sucks, you cannot well regulate
the amount of milk it gets, as some
times it will get more and sometimes
less, and by this irregular feeding the
growth of the calf suffers. It is less
trouble to commence feeding the calf
from the start, giving it whole milk
for the first ten days, then gradually
giving him skim milk, increasing the
quantity daily until all skim milk is
given. A little linseed meal jelly will
be helpful added to theskim milk. Give
all that it will drink, but none should be
left in the vessel.

AN EPISODE OF THE WAR
FOR INDEPENDENCE
Where Is the Oak Box Sent by the Earl
of Buchan to Washington

Our attention has been drawn to &
very interesting episode in connection
with Scotland aud the great republic
of the West. 1t seems that the Earl Ol
Buchan. the friend and patron Of Ro
bert Burns, was 40 delighted with The
heroic part that General Washington
took iu the American war of indepen.
dence that be sent him a box made
from the oak that sheltered Sir William
| Wallace after the battle Of Falklrk.
| The letter which we subjOin from Lord
Buchan will explain the story better
than We can tell it. But we are left to
solve An interesting problem, and we
appeal to any # ou' American friends
who can help us TO solve it, and that is.
to whom did General Washington give
the box, and in whose possession it is
now? The letter is as follows:
Copy of the Earl Of Bucban's letter to
General Washington, President of
the United States of America, sent

"Dryburgh Abbey, June %. 1891.
''Sir-To use your own emphatic
words. May that Almighty Being who

providential aids can supply every hu

the basis of law and equal administra-

This box was presented to me by
the Goldsmiths' Company at Edin-
burgh, from whom, feeling my own
unworthiness to receiue this magnifi.
Gently expressive present, requested,

over to the man in the world to whom
I thought 1t was most justly due.

There is question as to the cause
of a COW kicking. 1t, as a rule, is
caused by harsh milking, and whole
lot of people, I regret to say, have
never learned to milk COW with
comfort to the COW; and the result is
she resents by kicking. 1t is possi-
Bile you may hurt this COW when you
attempt to milk her. Again, there
are cows that object to being MIXED

II Must Come.

As inevitable as the changing seasons Of
the year is the change which comes to
every woman. And just as one anticipates
the changes of other seasons it is wise to
pare for it. In this way the discomforts
and disasters suffered by many women at
the period of change can be avoided or
overcome.
DR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, med
icine for every season of woman's life, will
entirely meet the needs of women at this
period of change. 1t cures the physical
ills and relieves the mental anxiety and
critical period. 1t tranquilizes the nerves,
encourages the appetite and induces re-
freshing sleep.

KIMBERLY AVENUE BRIDGE
 MATTER CONSIDERED.
No Definite Conclusion Rsaehsa-sss- rssary ofwar May be A.ksa ss Change Hi. Order : Corporation coanssl,. opinson-many Minor m.s.srs Gen. sidered.

A special meeting of the of aI-
 dermen was held in city hall last even
 ing. with all the members present ex- cept Aldermen Galigan and, Montgon-
 cry.
 The first business to come before the
 meeting was the reading of the corpor-
 ation counsels report as-to whether the orders of the secretary of war in refer
 ence to a stationary bridge over the
 West river at Kimberly avenue were mandatory. The report was a lengthy
 one, and after 1t was read by Clerk
 Moran, Alderman Spreyer moved that
 it be accepted and4tabled for printing in
 the journal. This motion was carried
 The report, in substance. was as fol-
 lows:
 In his opinion Corporation Counsel
 Daggett says that there is no method
 for the revision or modification of an
 order by the secretary of war by any
 other official or tribunal. In this sense
 the order is final and mandatory. The
 second question, in reference to claims
 that there had been no hearing given either to residents Of New Haven or the town of Orange regarding the proposed
 construction of bridge across West river, and the failure of the engineer to submit plans. is answered in the nega- tive. The opinion plainly states. giving time when and where such hearings were granted, that all provisions of the law had been compiled with. There is provision in the act under
 which this order has been handed down
 by the secretary of war that he may, of his own volition, change or alter the plans if recommendation is made by the
 parties affected and the, secretary or chief of engineers approves such recoin- mendat ion.
 Evaporation Counsel Daggett further states that, ''in view of the very evident circumstances of the case and of the fact that the order of October I, 1S99s was for a draw bridge, it can hardly be possible that the secretary of war should have intended by the recent or der to prohibit the construction of a draw or lift bridge. I am, therefore, unable to say whether a draw or lift bridge can be built under the order as 1t stands, but any doubt upon this point may be removed by ascertaining wheth- I CT draw or lift bridge would be re- |garded by the war department as a sat- isfactory substitute for the bridge pre- scribed by the order. am informed lthat the chief of engineers has in other tinstanaes approved of substitute plans which were not in exact compliance with the terms of orders, and have no doubt that such approval can be secur- led in this instance If So, no nnodifica Ition of the order would be required, though it seems likely that upon proper duplication the secretary of war would modify the order so as expressly to per- init the erection of a draw or lift bridge. | or fixed bridge, in the alternative, as might be determined. upon by the city and town of Orange

WH1sTLER,s BIRTHPLACE.
Letter from stonington Woman App
 parentIy Settling Question.

New London, July 2o.-The Morning Telegraph of this city is in receipt of a letter from stonington, Conn. claim ing to establish beyond question the birthplace of the late James Whistler, which has been in dispute. The letter says in part:
 We are connected very closely with Whistler, Dr. George E. Palmer having married his mothers sister. and much of his early life was spent here in Stonington, so that we are in position to give an authentic birthplace to him. He was born in Lowell, Mass, in a house on Worthing street whether now standing or not I do not known, but the boy was born and baptised, and the records is on the books of the Episcopal church in that place. He was born July 10, 1884, so could not possibly have been born in Russia. He did not wish to acknowledge Lowell as his birth place and just wanted to keep people guessing, as he did not care whether they got it right or not, probably think ing it was no ones businesss. But now he is dead and 1t is different, and So many papers have said the same thing that I would like this to be pub lished as a final answer to this mooted question.
 Yours very truly,t
