Gen. Blacks Farewell.

Gen. John c. Black, who has just
retired from the Office of the head oil
the Grand Army of the Republic
crowned very successful administra
ton by presiding with marked dignity
and ability over the national encamp.
ment the proceedings of which were
characterized by unblemished good
feeling. earnestness and zeal. Gen.
Blacks address to the encampment
was touchingly eloquent and grandly
fraternal. We quote from it briefly,
as follows:
"A year since, at San Francisco, you
elected me COMMUNICATIVE of the
Grand Army of the Republic. In ac-
cepting the high Office l was enjoined
to use the power with prudence and
Judgment and with regard to the feel
ings of those associated with me and
only with one thougkt-the interest
of our noble order. This was the
charge laid upon me by that Senior
of us all whom we delight to honor,
and whose wise counsels have ever
been at his comrades service. The
obligation l then assumed | have to
the best of my ability kept and per-
formed; it is for the record now op-
ened before you to testify in what
measure l have succeeded. Touched
by unfaltering Time, our ranks are
thlnned despite all recruiting), but
they remain firm and united. Those
who survive are the Old Guard of the
who have never known over
throw, whose high ideals still remain,
whose noble obligations are unbroken,
whose deeds of fraternity charity and
loyalty still bind up brothers WOUNDS,
still minister to the wants of the
weary and worn; still lift on high the
lnsullied standards of country, hui
manity and God. For us all abides
one unalterable purpose-the Union,
he whole Union; one prayer-that it's
blessings of peace and liberty may be
vide as the world; one pledge-of life
and fortune and sacred honor to the
unfolding of starry Splendors of Free

Fun o.. Picket Duty.

Il can't see yet" said Dan R. An
derson, where those Russians and
Japs have any fun on picket. Now,
In the old days there was always
something doing in the First Ken
lucky, and it was more exciting in the
early days of the war to 60 on picket
than to 60 scouting. On one occasion
while we were in camp at Kanawha
Falls was detailed for picket with
Bob Murphy, Donald Brick and John
Banister Of my own company, and five
or six men from other companies. We
were sent down the river road and
posted at the lower end of the mar
rows. There was only one post and
the reserve held the road.
"The picket post was natural fort,
formed by detached rocks that had
broken loose from the mountain and
fallen SO as to make a rock.inclosed
bastion large enough to hold COM
fortably five or six men. On the side
next the mountain was a large rock,

Grant Wouldn't Scare.

Soon after Mr.. Lincoln's great spirit
had taken flight, April Is, 1865, Gen.
Halieck appeared at the Baltimore &
Ohio station to escort Gen. Grant to
the war department. They parted at
Secretary Stanton's private Office door
and Halleck paced nervously up and
down the corridor. At length, turning
to Grants staff attendant, he said:
Don't let Gen. Grant stop at Will
lard's. He will not be safe there"
"But, general" the attendant replied,
wouldn't such advice to my chief be
presumptuous?
After moments reflection, Halleck
so modified it as to request it's deliv-
cry as an earnest wish from him.
This was done in front of the white
house, eliciting instantaneous re-

The Cool Curing Idea.

The cool curing of cheese has been
matter that has engrossed the at
tention of our dairy experts for the
last two and three years. The sue
cesses obtained in the experiment 8
conducted in Canada and America will
surely exert a powerful influence on
the industry everywhere in the world.
We note that the largest cheese fac
tory in New Zealand and perhaps in
the world has adopted this process
which is apparently far superior to
every OTHER method In the first
place 1t makes the control of the con-
ditions easy and obviates the necessity
of building expensive curing rooms
where the temperature can be kept
at between sixty and seventy degrees
the whole season through. In cool
storing it Is merely necessary to place
the cheese in cold storage and the nat
ural forces in them will do the rest.
1t is infinitely easier to keep cheese
below the freezing point than it is to
keep 1t at any degree higher. More
over at low temperature the bac-
terra that make bad cheese do not
grow, while the desirable ferments de-
velop. This is way of getting ahead
of the elements that give bad cheese.
When this system is perfected and
adopted we may expect to have only
good cheese placed on the MAJ ket,
with consequent increase in the
sales.

Suffered in Libby.

Among the many old soldiers that
are still living in Wrentham, Mass,
says dispatch from that place, none
have passed through any greater suf.
ferings than those which Martin Van
Buren, Murphy endured while he was
confined in Libby prison for a period
of four months. Mr.. Murphy enlisted
from this town and filled up its quota
in the Twenty-sixth Massachusetts.
After the battle of Cedar Creek he
was sent out to reconnoiter with a
number Of others and was captured
by detachment Of cavalry under Mos.
by and sent to Libby prison. When
captured he weighed 100 pounds; four
months afterward he was exchanged
and taken to Washington hospital,
and after months treatment was
discharged, weighing sixty-seven
pounds.
The diet in Libby prison, he says,
consisted of an inch square of corn
bread with the cob ground in, and a
bit of mule meat in the morning and
at night another inch of bread and
cup of bean soup with dozen beans
in it.
When he was discharged from the
hospital in Washington he was in
time to see Sherman's army march
through the city, and the memory of
that grand spectacle still fingers in
the old soldiers mind.

WOMEN WHO WERE MARLBORO.
Records Of Amazons In the Annals OF
Most Countries.

NsOSS NOuNNrteS.
There is scarcely a country with.
out its women warriors, who for love
OF man or love of country have dis
guised their sex and fought side by

the name and record of Phoebe Hes

been erected at Brighton.
Christian Cavenagh was another

America has long list of Amazons,
beginning with Mrs Seelye, who
served throughout the civil war as
common soldier. field nurse and
spy, fighting all day and nursing at

Stotsenburg, who fought side by side
with her husband in the trenches of

Frozen Milk in Europe,

In Europe good many experiments
are being made with frozen milk Up
to the present time the matter of
shipping frozen milk has created the
most interest in Germany, where the
practice has been inaugurated of freez-
ing milk in bottles. The men that
have made scientific study of the
process say that the rapidity of cooling
regulates to considerable extent the
preservation of the milk. The freezing
Is evidently not so complete that
changes do not go on, for the observ-
ers say that the milk can be brought
back to its original consistency only
II 1t is kept few days or weeks at
most. Where it is kept for months
insoluble compounds are formed that
do not redissolve. The French have
paid little attention to this matter,
probably because the French people do
not as rule use ice extensively. Any.
one can see the advantages of frozen
milk If it can be handled perfectly. It
will doubtless be found that the de.
mands on the transportation COM
paEies will be considerable offset to
the advantages of the cold 1t would
take only very short time in uniced
cars in summer to change the frozen
mass in the bottles into liquid, and
the freezing reduces the keeping quail
ity of milk, if we may trust popular
belief and apparent experience.

TALK ON ADVERTISING
The sunshine that makes q business

The sunshine that makes business
plant grow is advertising.
Growing a business nowadays is
something like growing an appletree.
You may select good seed, plant it in
good soil, water and work with it, but
the tree will not produce fruit until
another and most powerful, energiz.
ing and life-giving element Is brought
to bear. You must have sunshine and
lots Of it. Can you expect to ripen
apples in the dark? Can you expect
to grow q profitable business plant
nowadays without the sunshine of pub
lie favor produced by advertising?

tration Of that law. 1t seems but
short time ago when I put few men
at work in the carriage house of the

began making Postum coffee.

Yet, roll and pack upon his back,

And followed, followed as he sang,
TIL on a tlampled trench he lay
Among the dead at Liao-Yang.

The greed of gain, the dread Of loss;
He marched with orders to the field
To bear his rifie-and his cross.

The pelting hail that snarled and sang
And gave his patient blood away
Among the dead at Lao Yang.
Among the glitter of his court
In safety sat the mystic cZar;
Safe sat the scheming minister
Who cast careless die for war;
They could not hear the shattered groan
The horrid chant of death that rang
Where unconsulted thousands lay,

He had no cause to battle for;

Astronomers Have Another Question
Over Which They Can Dispute.

Astronomers Have Another Question
Over Which They Can Dispute.
Everybody who has seen chart OF
the moon as drawn by astronomers
knows Of the curious, irregular. rag.
ged rings which have been called
moon craters" for many years.
Now astronomers have raised the
question whether or not they really
are the craters Of extinct volcanoes,
as has been supposed for 80 long.
One Of them asks:
"How would the ocean bottoms OF
the earth appear to man in the moon
II all our seas were to disappear"
Exactly as the moon craters look
to u.s." Is the answer.
So now some Of the astronomers
are interested In the attempts to
prove that the moons curious surface
is not at all volcanic, and that the
"craters" are nothing more or less
than coral reefs and the remains Of
other coral-like structures which have
been left high and dry by the evap-
grafton of lunar oceans.

apple tree Of fine quality but how to
develop our work and turn the apple

It needed sunshine and the kind Of
sunshine that is spread by the news

Dry Parchment Paper.

The use of parchment paper has be-
come quite common with makers of
butter whether on the farm or in the
creamery. AS a usual thing it has
been advised to not only wet the
parchment paper but to soak it for
hours or even days in strong Urine.
1t has been implicitly believed that
this would prevent its becoming a
means of spreading molds which so
often become detrimental to the keep
ing quality of butter. A professor in
Belgium has been making some ex-
periments to determine whether the
soaking really does help the parch-
ment paper to keep the mold away.
Butter was wrapped in dry parchment
paper and in wet parchment paper.
For six or seven days there was no
difference in the keeping quality of
the butter, but after that the butter
wrapped in moist paper took on dis.
agreeable smell and in time became
rancid. The butter wrapped in dry
parchment paper kept eight days long
er than the butter wrapped in moist
paper. The report of the experiment
does not, however, say whether the
paper hal been moistened in strong
A-ine or antiseptic solution or wheth.
er unsteIilized water was used. If
the latter was the case the experiment
aas little or no value.

In ancient days newspaper publish.
ers considered an advertisement an
evil but a necessary evil, and that It
should be hidden away as carefully
as possible, so that no one would dis
cover that the paper was trying to
make little money by inserting pub

way today would fail.
The most successful opponents OF
the new plan Of doing business with
Ink and paper are using every posi-
bic means to make the Announcements
attractive and sought after by the
readers.

Dairy Cows Pay.

Leading dairymen declare that cows
pay better than any other kind of farm
live stock, for the reason that the
money is coming in every day. This
is apparent to every one that has con-
sidered the dairy cow in comparison
with the steer. The COW pays better
but requires more constant attention,
which Is the great point against her
and will continue to be unless some
way is found of extracting her milk by
machinery. The price for the beef
steer comes in but once and that a
long time after the original invest.
ment has been made, while the profits
from the dairy COW come in continual
ly and sometimes she pays for her.
self in single year. Under some
conditions good dairy cow will pay
for herself twice over in year. That
they will continue to pay well is evil
denced by the fewness of the men
that go into dairying. In other kinds
OF commercial effort the fact of profit
is enough to draw men into the BUSH
ness until the trade is crowded. Not
so with the dairy COW. The farmer
does not like to be confined to his
farm and will forego the profits for
the sake OF a more enjoyable life. No
one will find fault with him for this;
but the fact remains that the profits
in the business are assured. Espe-
cially is this the case with farmers
living near cities or towns where they
can deliver the milk themselves and
get six or seven cents a quart for it.
