AN HISTORIC SADDLE.

The saddle used by Marshal John
Brown on Memorial day is the property
of Gen. c. w. Tilden of Hallowell Gen.
Tilden was in the thickest of the battle
of Gettysburg, where nearly all the men
of his command were mown down like
grass before the enemy's fire; the horse
upon which the general was riding was
shot from under him, and the general
with number of men was taken a
prisoner and carried to the famous Libby
prison at Richmond, Va. The story of
the escape made by few men through
the underground tunnel, of which Gen.
Tilden was one, is we'll known. After
his escape and the rejoining of his regi-
ment, the 10th Maine, at Mitchell's Sta
ton, Va, great welcome was extend
ed to the hero of Gettysburg A great
banquet was rendered him and when the
general thought the festivities about
over he was further surprised by being
presented, on behalf of his command,
with magnificent black steed and hand
some saddle and bride. Gen. Tilden
kept the mount and accoutrements,
using them through the remaining days
OF the war and after the surrender the
same property was brought home. The
horse lived until the miseries of old age
came upon him, when he was mercifully
shot and his remains now lie buried I'M
der the apple tree on the Lord farm on
hill just above the city. The saddle and
bride are used only on Memorial day;
they will be preserved as an heirloom to
go down, it is hoped, to the latest pos
terity Of General Tilden's family, carry
ing the contagion of honors the sire has
so nobly won and worm Exchange.

which came to grief on her way from
Port Tampa to Baltimore with phosphate
rock. Her passage, including repairs,
occupied So days. When the four mas
ter Lyman M. Law of New Haven, from
Portland for Baltimore with copper Gin
ders, was spoken off Diamond Shoal, she
had been out "a days and no one expect
ed to see her again. She had been blown
far out of her course. The four-master
John Twohy, from Bay View for Key
West with granite, had in lesser measure
the same experience. Blown to sea soon
after sailing, in IS days she regained the
coast only to go ashore at Newport. The
four master Lydia M. Deering left Bos-
ton for Philadelphia, and ten days later
turned up at Portland, which port she
barely made after an unwonted journey
of 500 miles in thu direction of the Old
World
Although the pioneer five-masted
schooner Governor Ames was not blown
offshore, she was once 35 days on a pas
sage from Newport News to Boston,
when that of the Dorothy Palmer, "a
days from Newport News to Portsmouth,
was considered much more lengthy than
the ordinary. So was that of the Boston
schooner, j. Manchester Haynes, which
took AZ days from Portland to Martinique
and occasioned some anxiety thereby
The British bark w. w. McLauchlan
was "a days from St. John, N. B., to
New York, and the Altoona and Lady
smith, square riggers of the same nation
ality, had long and eventful trips between
the same ports.
With her foretopmast and bowsprit
gone, the Boston three-master Rebecca
j. Moulton took A days to go from New
port News to Savannah, though spoken
several times on the way Boreas OBJ
viously accorded her much severer treat
ment than the tern schooner Ann J.
Trainor, from Norfolk for Stamford with
lumber, which lost all her spars but the
foremost and then reached her destination
in average time, being assisted toward
the end by tug.
Such disasters are as nothing, how
ever, when the comparatively fortunate
victims bring to mind the "never- heard
from" fleet, whose fate they so nearly
shared.

A PROBLEM FOR APPLE GROWERS.

Considerable Importance is attached to
the experiments being made by the Ag-
rlculturai Department to improve the
methods of picking, handling, packing
and transporting fruits to market. The
fruit crop of California is immense, the
orange crop alone last season amounting
to $50, 900, 600. If by better methods of
handling and shipping the market value
of the crop could be increased Is per
cent. there would be profit of 81, $780,
600 year. The government experts be-
leve that improved methods will add at
least fourth to the value Of the fruit
crops. With the Beethoven from one
section it was found that there was diff
ference Of two months in the keeping
qualities with apples picked at the same
time, but with delay Of ten days in the
storing of one of the lots. The investi-
gators also found that some of the
troubles attributed to freezing Of fruit
in warehouses was due to rapid ripening
of fruit during the delay between pick
ing and storing. Here are some good
lessons for New England growers. The
old-time practice of piling the apples to
allow of sweating" has largely been
checked but today there is call for urging
that the fruit be hurried into the cellar
or cold storage plant at once on removal
from the trees. One of our best growers
declares that no apple can remain in his
orchard two hours after being picked
from the tree, that his crops are barrel
ed, Immediately put upon the train and
started for cold storage. This fruit
keeps and comes out in April in prime
shape. DR. Twitchell in The Maine
Farmer.

THE FREEDOM FIRE OF JAN. %. 1907

BY MRS. SUSAN J. FIVE
In the year January 2sth, nineteen hundred
and seven,
Between the hours of three and eleven,
There was neighing of horses and tramping
of feet,
And men shouting fire on every street.
They used the phones, and rang the bell,
To call the surrounding towns as well;
They responded from Knox and Montv;le
And soon our little town did fill
And of the landlord, what shall | say?
He was moving around IN quiet way
Until Judson Wiggin shouted fire,
And this touched our landlords ire
He said: "I'n1 trying to get my carriages out,
And the fire | was going to shout,
But now, | think it useless to call
For they surely cannot save Billings Hall"
They fought the fire as best they could,
But, really, it did not seem to do any good.
Some fought hard the fire to control,
And some never tried to help a soul.
j. H. Brown so loud did call
For people to save the Billings Hall,
And they tried so hard the hall to save,
But soon it sank in a fiery grave.
Oh, what sight our eyes did meet,
Next morning, as we went up High street.
There were the ruins of our hotel,
And the dear old Billings Hall as we'll
But all Of that has passed away,
And the darkness of night has turned to day,
And where the hotel and hall used to stand,
Is as pretty a dormitory as there is in the land.
And we really hope at some future time,
There will be gymnasium built on the same
line,
That sometime we can boast of Freedoms
fame,
And gather from the outside world great
name.

FOR FlETCHER'S
CA 3 TO RIA
MAUDE AND HER GARDEN.

Come into the garden, Maude, sang he,
For he was much given to poetree;
And then Maude came, and since that time
He speaks in prose and forsakes all rhyme
For Maude looked around that garden fair
And kept him working ten hours there.
She made him pull forty pecks of weeds.
She made him plant all her cabbage seeds.
She made him hoe
Row after row
Of later hlls.-two dozen or so.
She made him hitch up the garden hose
And water an acre of sweet-pea blows.
She made him take
Her brand-new rake
And scrape till his spine babe fair to break.
Despite his means
And his awful groans,
She made him gather five barrels of stones,
And squirt the patent old spouting- machine
That kills off the bugs with Paris Green.
She made him fix
Seven dozen sticks
With netting to keep out the neghbor's chicks,
And mend the leak in the fountain pipe,
And taste tomato that wasn't ripe.
She made him push the lawn roller about
Till his face freckled up like speckled trout
She made him prune
Half the afternoon
Till he cussed the Poet that wrote that rune.
She made him dig
Like hungry pig
A hole so deep, so wide and big,
That an elephant might have been planted
there,
While she bossed the job from swinging
chair
She made him tinker the garden WALL
And snip the dead wood from hemlock tall
She made him NOV all the nice lush lawn,
And lay out the lines for ten rows of corn.
She made him paint all the latticework,
And fill up the holes where the woodchueks
lurk,
And finished by using his brand-new cloes
To hang pole for to scare off crows.
And that is the why that l can't rehearse
The words that he speaks when he hears that
verse?

How Hill Got His Start.

That James J. Hill, Lord Mount
Stephen, Lord Strathcona and a few
others associated in the development
of the Hill railroads of the Northwest
have in about thirty years divided
among themselves the colossal sum of
$4O7 900, 900, exclusive of dividends,
interest or other emoluments, and that
this stupendous fortune has been made
from an original investment of moth
ing, is the amazing assertion made by
Charles Edward Russell in an article
entitled ssThe Heart of the Railroad
Problem" in the April number of
Hampton's Magazine.
Incredible as this amount is, the
present investigator has found it to
be ssonly part of the colossal profits
coined from an investment of nothing
by this most wonderful American
money making machine, and when
you come to see the full balance sheet
of these operations you will agree
with me that never before have there
been such marvellous results from a
beginning so inconsiderable. sgsss

Imnroxed COOKING utensiI.

Egg and cake beaters of fnnumer-
able styles and shapes have been in
vented to take the place Of the tedious
beating by hand. An equal number
of devices for stirring food cooking
on the fire have also been introduced.
The fault of the majority is in the
construction of the beaten, the latter
not being Of the proper shape. In
most cases the beaten fails to reach
the corners of the receptacle. An Illi-
nois inventor, recognizing the disad-
vantage, has constructed a cooking
utensil in which the stirrer or beaten is
of an entirely different form from
that generally in use. AS shown in

Tibetan Etiquette.

One of the queerest salutations in
the world is that of the natives of
Tibet. When two inhabitants Of this
isolated, mountainous country of CEN
trail Asia meet, each takes off his hat,
puts out his tongue and scratches his
right ear. These actions are performed
simultaneously. The whole perform
ance is analogous to our simple Gus
tom, on meeting. of nodding the head
and saying. "How do you do?"

Badminton.

This play is mixture of tennis and
battledoor and may be played in a
court or hall, out of doors or in or on

tennis net or one even smaller than
that which does not quite reach the
ground. Shuttlecocks are used instead
Of balls.
The rules of tennis are followed,
with slight changes owing to the char
acter of the shuttlecock. which does
not bounce like the tennis ball. All
the hits must be made on the fly. The
player must not touch the net either
with racket or clothing, nor must he
touch the shuttlecock with his hands
after the first service. The points are
counted just as in tennis.

many times daily Stretch the arm at
right angles to the body, holding the
muscles very taut; clinch the hand and
draw up to the shoulder, using as
much force as If lifting heavy
weight. Repeat until the arm begins
to get stiff.
Massaging the arms with hot olive
oil for fifteen minutes night and morn
ing will also help to make them plump.
