The Tonoue Of sslasm's Ass.

Congressman Mccall of Massachu-
sets tells story of Sunday school
superintendent in Boston, who was
questioning the pupils concerning Ba-
laam's ass; and he asked them what
language was used, whether or not II
was necessarily Hebrew, in order that
Balaam might understand it; and a
bright boy gave answer:
"Of course it was Hebrew; for the
ass must have been a Hebrayist."

ALL WOMAN T0ILERS

SEVEN HUNDRED OF TRADE UNION
LEAGUE PLEDGED TO THE
CAUSE.
Jane Adams Declares Sex Can Be Helped
Only by Effort, Not by Mere
Optimism.

New York, March 27.-Rafsing their
hands as a sign of fealty to the cause,
100 women have pledged themselves at
conference Of the Women's Trade
Union league, to help organize all the
women wage earners Of this country into
trades unions.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, and Miss
Jane Adams of Hull house, Chicago,
addressed the meeting.
THE number is Increasing Of those
optimists in this country" Miss Adams
said, who are prone to say that every
thing is right and will come out right i'll
the end. But wage earners are inclined
to think that the conditions of women
need Improvement, and that their condi-
ton will be bettered only as we concen-
trate intelligent thought on the subject
and are active toward that end"
The meeting was the public part Of
the first national convention of the WOm-
ems Trades Union league. Mrs. Ellen NJ.
Henrotin of Chicago was chosen presi-
dent. Besides representatives of the
working women, there were present many
persons well known in society.

Teaching a Horse to Stand.

AS soon as the colt is fairly gentle
and has been ridden a few times,
throw the reins down, and with
strong but soft rope hobble his front
legs. Fasten rope twenty feet long
to one front leg and the other to
stout post or stake. Ordinarily the
horse will not move when thus fasten-
ed, but If he does he soon comes to
grief A few lessons of this sort will
never be forgotten.
After a while it will only be neces-
sary to wrap the reins around the
horses front legs, and later simply
dropping the reins to the ground will
be sufficient If any time the horse
gets to moving around and fOrgets his
early training, pass the reins through
the stirrup and then up and over the
horn Of the saddle. This pulls the
head around to one side and the horse
will generally not go far.-Farm and

NEW WAY TO MAKE
SPURIOUS CASH FOUND.
New Workers Counterfeiting Outfit Is
Revelation in Scientific Progress
Within the Profession.

New Haven, Conn, March 27.-Two
men supposed to be William Gober and
Samuel Eastow Of New York, were ar
rested early today at the point Of re-
volver in a boarding house here, and in
their rooms was found a new counter
feiting outfit, which had turned out sew
eral spurious 81 bills, the police assert,
almost as good as the genuine
The police believe that an entirely new
counterfeiting method has been discov-
cred. The plan apparently was to take
a new bill of any denomination, pour a
fluid, said to be from Russia, over the
bill, and then stamp the bill on plain
sheets Of specially prepared paper. Aft
err the pieces are pressed together for
sometime the whole is taken off and
placed on a cylinder, much the same as
a record is placed on phonograph.
This is followed by an electrical pro-
cess that makes perfect reproduction
on the white paper. The original bill is
not spoiled by the process.

AIRSHIP FLIES LIKE
BIRD; HAS BIG WINGS.
CALIFORNIA; Aeroplane, 5000 Feet High.
Turns at Will and Sails Against
Wind

San Francisco, Cal, March 27.--Prof.
John Montgomery's aeroplane sailed, or
flew, 5000 feet above San Jose Saturday
night for half an hour. Montgomery
machine can be guided, and it flies with
no use of motor or gas.
John Maloney took the machine up
5000 feet by hot air balloon. Then the
aeroplane was released, and after sailing
about landed at Montgomery workshop.
The machine, the Santa Clara, looks
like a huge bird. The frame is of spruce
timber, tough and supple, and the eight
wings are of fortified canvas.
In each wing is an upward curve con-
structed with the same concayity found
in the wing of a bird.
The operator sits on saddle and
works the wings partly with his hands
and feet.
Soaring at six miles an hour the aero
plane could be stopped and turned within
q 4Ofoot space. A contrary wind makes
little difference in the speed.

Useful Bovine.

comparatively few can tie. It is a

tration will show exactly how it is

bring a over b, bringing tie end up
through the loop as in the next fig

as in the final figure. It is impossible
for this knot to slip when properly
tied It is useful in all sorts Of emergen-
cies. In loop thus made a man can
safely be hoisted to any height with
no danger of the knot slipping. 1t is
especially useful for the farmer. An
animal can be led by means Of it with
no danger Of the knots slipping and
choking the animal, no matter how

Remedies in the Barn.

The writer has recently erected a
small closet in the barn, in which is
kept a few articles such as experience
has taught us should be handy. At
the suggestion Of the mother Of the
family a large bottle Of witch hazel
and several bottles Of vaseline were
added, together with a roll Of partly
worn muslin. The very day this closet
was completed and it's contents placed,
one Of the horses by accident struck
its head against the side Of the stall
so that there was a decided brutse
around the eye. Out came the witch
hazel, and by frequent applications Of
it during the day the swelling was
subdued and the horse made more
comfortable.
We have two bottles Of vaseline
each Of the plain sort and the car
boIated vaseline, and this last has been
found very useful on a number of oc-
casions. "A calf had an ugly spot on
it's side, a raw proud-fesh sort Of
eczema, for which we could not &C.
count. We took a spoonful Of flour
Of sulphur and made a batter Of II
with a little carbolated yaseline and
treated that spot for a week, healing
it perfectly. Have little closet as
described and keep odd things in it,
but don't forget witch hazel, vaseline
and a roll Of soft, clean muslin.-IL-

BABE SAVES WOMAN.
Mrs. Mary Rogers Rumored to Be in
Delicate Condition in Yer
mont Prison.

Windsor, Vt, March 27.-Athough the
board Of prison directors has had two or
three meetings since the rumors have
been circulated that Mrs. Mary Rogers is
in delicate condition, the reputed father
Of the unborn child being one of the jail
officials, no denial Of the story has been
given out, and the good name Of the state
and its principal penal institution suffers
from a scandal which it will take years
to overcome. Mrs. Rogers is awaiting
execution for the murder Of her husband.
The prison employees from Supt. Cakes
down will neither admit nor deny the re-
ports. What news the outside world gets
leaks out through their intimates. A per-
sonal friend Of Miss Durkee, the matron
in charge Of Mrs. Rogers, says that there
is not a word Of truth in the story.
Doctor Discreetly Silent.
She is cognizant of the condemned
WOman's condition, and would soon de-
tect anything wrong with her. The pris-
on physician DR.. j. D. Brewster, will not
say when he last visited Mrs. Rogers, nor
what her condition is at present. Under
the laws Of the state a woman criminal
cannot be put to death when about to
become mother.

said that the next state institution to be

as the evidence is all in relative to the

statement by the fact that Attorney Gen
eral G.. G. Fits Of Brattleboro was in
town last week, and was looking for
rooms in which to conduct the proceed
ings.
Driven to Resign.
The Oakes-Harpin controversy caused
by the charges brought against Supt
Cakes before the legislative committee Of
the Vermont Assembly last fall, which
recommended the resignation of the su-
perintendent and the directors, has
reached an acute stage, and both sides
are claiming that sensational facts will
be brought out at the Investigation.
The cause Of the recent dismissal Of
the head keeper, Harpin, and his son
Harold will be looked into, also the scan
dals and charges of graft which have
been brought against the superintendent
The reason given for Supt. Cakes resig-
nation is continued i'll health but the
truth is that the annoyance and worry
caused by the charges made against his
management has impelled him to take
this step.

Sheep ShearinGs.

Sheep are more economical meat
producers than steers.
When breeding to improve ewes
should be two years old when bred.
To secure the best returns in feed
ing have the sheep as even as possible
The more sheep you can keep and
keep right the less per sheep viii the
cost be.
Under ordinary conditions the man
ure from sheep should pay for the la
Dor Of caring for them.
A good foot rot medicine must be
somewhat caustic, in liquid form and
cheap enough to use freely.
Sheep should be charged with the
value Of the food consumed and what
the pasturage is worth.
If sheep are pastured on low, wet
land, care must be taken to keep their
feet we'll trimmed.
Sheep cannot be fattened probably
when they are full of parasites. Kill
the vermin and then fatten.
If the best profit is realized, not
only the wool, but the mutton and the
lamb, must contribute their part
It will pay, if you intend to sell
your sheep at public sale, to have
some one grade them up in even lots.

Is United States Losing Ground!
Dr. Saunders, director Of expert
mental farms in Canada, is authority
for the statement that there were pro
duced in the Dominion last year about
$4,000 600 bushels Of wheat. In the
contest for the production Of this GER
cal Canada possesses many adyan-
tages over other countries in soil and
climate. Canada's chief competitors in
the British market in the future, in
DR.. Saunders opinion, will be Russia,
Argentina and India. He pointed out
that the exports Of wheat from the
United States are rapidly declining.
In 1902 American exports Of wheat
to Great Britain amounted to 81 ,0OO,-
600 bushels, or 81 per cent of Great
Britain's total needs; in 1903 these ex-
ports were 100000 bushels, and last
year only 100000 bushels. American
flour exports had similarly fallen off
from 100000 hundredweight in 1903
to 100000 hundredweight in 1904. Is
the United States to be superseded,
relocated to a place farther down in
the line of wheat-producing countries
