THE S101X COUNTY JOURN AL. L t. IIHNOIII, HAKEISON, I BR ASK A- IMjtmond Match Is still coming to the cratch. Measles has broken out In Vassar College. We believe it will be a hard Job to knock the sjhiU off those Vassajr glrhi. Physicians prescribe a bicycle for a man who is all run down, but bicycles aometimee are responsible for Just that condition of affairs. A Pittsburg pastor remarks that "we shall all ride bicycles hereafter." If that la true there Ik a fortune awaiting the fellow who patents an asbestos tire. It la said that Weyler la to experi ment with a new cannon that Is !oth nokielesg and smokeless. Thus far Weyler's cannons have also been harm less. Lieutenant Peary says lie can dis cover the north pole for ani.0"O. That aeema to lie cheap enough for any one who really needs such a thine but we couldn't ose It In our business. Paderewski has bought an American bicycle and will take it home with him. Paddy Is the only bicycle beginner we can recall who probably would find tailing a header positively exhilarating. The Buffalo Express asks: "Is there no other adjective besides "clever' which sporting writers could apply to professional pugilists?" Why, certain ly. What's the matter with "eloquent,"' "fluent," or "jawful?" Paderekskl's earnings this trip ex ceed $273,000, and still he is growling at the treatment he has received here. We don't lielieve Paddy ever will lie really happy nntil he learns the busi ness of bank burglary. Miss Nellie Wright of Delhi, N. Y., who wa supposed to be dying of con sumption, coughed up a tooth the other day and is now getting well. Persons who are accustomed to wear their teeth in their lungs will do well to make a note of this and cough. An American rainmaker proposes to rid London of its fogs by bombarding the cloud of mist as it rolls in upon the city, and be expects to spend $50,0)10 in experiments if the English will permit It. London fogs are thought by some authorities to rise out of the earth and apparently they close Irf from all sides. The man who succeeds in banishing them will immortalize himself. There is onlj one $10.0)10 I'nited States note in existence, and that has neyer been Issued, but is kept in the treasury as a specimen. There are three $5,000 greenbacks. Two of them are in the treasury; the third was paid out several years ago, and Is probably in the vault of some bank, lwcause It has never been heard from since. One-thou-iand -dollar notes are numerous. There are 74.146 in circulation, and over 15.0110 $500 notes, 237,000 $100 notes, 200.000 $50 note. 409.24.') $20 notes, 834,924 $10 notes and L152.7W! $5 notes in circulation. The Commissioner of Agriculture of New York has begun suit against Her man 0. Armour, of the Armour Packing Company, for violations of the Ktabe oleomargarine law during the year 1894. This was the year the law van put In force, and tt was claimed by the company that wben the oleomargarine was shippped into the State It could be sold in original packages without com ing; under the restrictions of the law. The courts have decided otherwise. The amount for which suits have been al ready brought !s one and a half mil lions of dollars. Each, sale Is a viola tion and subject the offender to a heavy jnalty. It is likely that other firms will also be sued, an the papers In their cases have been made out. What Is wauxed is an equally stringent law against filled cheese, which Is a worse fraud on the consumer than is oleomar garine, and which has done still greater Injury to honest dairy interests both in cheese making and bntter making. A riuggestive incident in the life of James (i. Blaine, by Gail Hamilton, is told in connection with the appoint ment ot his son to the responsible po sition cf Assistant Secretary of State. On one occasion father and son dis agreed on some question, and while yielding due deference to the authority of his father as bis guperior In office, the sou continued to maintain that he was In the right. Mr. Blaine felt hurt at this and remarked to a friend, "Walkei Is disrespectful." "Not at all," was the prompt reply. "It Is you who was disrespectful. You consulted him a 11 urn opinion was 01 value, ana men wben be did not agree with your views yon treated him as If he were a 5-year-old boy." It Is creditable to Mr. Blaine that wben bis son returned he gave hi in bis band, saying, "Walker, I owe you an apology." The response of the sou was equally creditable, "Not at all, sir, I owe you one." There Is far too little tt tlw iollcy of treating children at an Mly age as reasoning bejngs and capa ble of being governed by reason rather by brute force.

I ,.,-,1 Salisbury and bis ministers at liberty to guess what course their inconveni ently clever antagonist Is going to take. But as to one possible line of action open to Krueger there can be but little mistake. "I Iiope." he said, "a meet ing between representatives of the Or ange Free State and representatives of the South African republic will shortly be held and plans for a chaser union tween the two countries will lie dis cussed." The significance of this decla ration is olivioug when It is rememlier ed that Krueger" g recent diplomatic vic tory has made him the strongest man ! among the independent or semi-Inde-j pendent colonies of South Africa, and ! that he has the prestige and Influence ; which would make It eusy for the sister j republic to follow his initiative in any : combined effort at perfect Indepeud I euce. I'p to the present Krueger has had decidedly the liest of it In the quar rel with Great Britain. That power does not assume the right to mix In the Internal affairs of the Transvaal, but now even her nominal position as su zerain is meuai-ed. It looks as though Krueger meant to arrange an offensive and defensive alliance without even so much as asking British permission, ami In the present status of affairs it would lie an awkward task for England to in terfere. It is not beyond the range of possibility that the stublioru resistani-e of Krueger may put a check ujsm for eign aggressions In South Africa and lay the foundation for a federation of South African possessions under a re publican form of government. John Thomas North, better known ns Col. North, "the Nitrate King," died suddenly in Loudon while attending B meeting of his company. His business career has lieen a remarkable one. Ib left England when a young man with about a hundred dollars in bis pocket and went to South America. Previous studies in mineralogy and engineering gave him a great advantage In ascer taining the value of the nitrate re sources of Bolivia and Peru, sulwe queutly the proerty of Chile by con quest. He began a series of specula tions in nitrate in a small way which turned out so well that they soon at tracted the attention of the Chilean gov ernment As the business promised to yield revenue to the latter It encour aged him to develop the business, and be went at it with colossal energy. He organized companies with English capi tal not only for working the nitrate beds, but al.no for securing control of the nitrate railways, and he also pur chased Peruvian bonds which had len Issued to the nitrate companies. In a short time he had secureo control of the whole nitrate product and was chief owner of the stock of nineteen compa nies which he nad organized. The Isiy who went to South America with a hundred dollars in bis pocket returned uuieu ooiittis iu nm ijoi -ftci rcmiueo England with a fortune amounting at least ten millions and made ma i.v , to to at least leu millions and made many other Investments. He lived In sump- , tuous style, and though of humble birth, . his father having been a coal merchant, his great wealth commended him to the friendship of the Prince of Wales, and this Insured him social distinction. In politics he was not as successful as In business, lie ran once for Parlia ment against Gladstone and, of course, was defeated. As an investor and pro moter, however, he showed consum mate energy, skill, and resolution mid he had his reward. hi i nous Gun Might. luminous foresight, for use In a ba4 light with guns of various kinds, has been patented In Euglund.

An Englishman asserts that he can tell pure claret from adulterated by the use of the rays. In Berlin they have been Introduced in a new farce.

Herewith is a sketch of a power erect ed on barn floor for cutting straw or corufodder. The large wheel is 12 or 14 feet In diameter, made of wood. The hub of the big wheel Is 4 feet In di ameter, made of Inch lioards nailed to gether, with square hole In center to fit post. The Jrtmkes. 8 In numlior, are 2x4 Inch scantling. Iiolted to hub with two -inch bolts in each. Tiie rim Is made of three tiers of inch lioards, cut HOME-MADE HORSE POWER. the projier circle and alsuit 7 Inches wide. The two outside tiers project over the middle tier 1 Inch, in order to make groove for chain to run in. The post A In diagram Is 15 Inches square, hard wood, rounded off at each end to run in bearings on floor and iu overlay. The big wheel Is fastened on iost high enough for horses to walk underneath. The chain B Is a size heavier than com ma n plow chain. The jack in ilustra tlon Is made from the gearing of an old Buckeye mower. It Is shown fastened to post in barn. C is a wooden pulley 15 Inches in diameter, with gniove for chain and bolted to ratchet wheel, orig inally on the main shaft of the old mower. 1 is the l-vel gearing and F is a wooden pulley tiolted to cog wheel for belt or rope to connect with cutting box. X is the tightening pulley, hing ed at (a) with weight U attached to keep chain taut Destroying Burdocks. If a burdock at any stage of growth Is cut U'low the surface of the ground and a handful of salt thrown on the cut surface, It completely destroys It. The moisture from the cut dissolves' the salt, and this In turn helps to rot the root, so that no sprout from it Is possible. The earlier this is done the less trouble It will be to cut the root below the surface. A sharp spade I best to do this. Very little salt Is needed, as when rotting Itegliis lielow the ground It Is apt to continue until the entire root Is a uia-ss of pulp. The burdock in biennial and not so hard to get rid of as many iiereniiials which have horizontal roots running under ground, which no application of saif can reach. The chief trouble with bur dock is Its innumerable seeds, one plant seeding making enough to stock aa acre, and the seed remaining in the ground for years waiting nn opportun ity to grow.

Most young pigs make very rapid growth the first two or three weeks i of their life front suckling the sow But after that time as the pigs grow larger they require more, while th probability will lie that the sow given less milk than at first. If -there are as many cows In the dairy as there are litters of pigs to lie fed the dairy butter maker can do a profitable busiuess making pork. The skim milk will not be of itself enough to keep pigs In good thrift, but that wltb wheat middlings and enough linseed meal to make tip for the loss of butter fats In the cream will keep pigs growing at five and six months, old quite as fast as they di.f while at the test. In fact, when feed ing pigs we often though! that the growth of the pig from .Ml to l.Vi pounds was more rapid than bis grow th before he had learned to eat and digest all kinds of food. Hhrnnhsa Wheat for Poultry. The very best use of shrunken wheat, some of wWeb will be found In every crop, is aa food for poultry. The grain being shrunken Is deficient In starch. but It has all the greater proportion of gluten, which la the ehler element of the ear, while the outside busk or bran Is 'rich In piwaidiate, which belna to make r odd kr chop fob arid sf.ctio.ns. the egg shell. The poultry dealer can usually buy shrunken wheat at a lower price than the perfen grain, while for feeding fowl it is really better for being shrunken. Unprofitable tock It is very common to bear farmers say that their stock does not pay. This is really the severest psible reflection on their own management. Some kinds of stock cannot lie kept In certain lo calities, because the land is too valu able to make it profitable to grow the' feed for them. What should lie aimed at is stock good enough to pay for the feed they require when lionght at mar ket rates. Then it will not make any difference how dear the land Is, for the stock will pay anyway. The stock that is most often kept on purchase food is poultry. But with this some land is necessary, not so much to grow food on as to furnish range for the fowls and keep them iu healthy condi tion. If the owner of fowls does not find them profitable, instead of com plaining of bis hard luck he should study the defects in his management and remedy them. Watering Horse st Work. Horses hard at work need water be tween the morning and noon meal, and also between noon uud time for clos ing the day's work. If a handful of oatmeal is thrown in the pail of water. It will prevent any danger of injury, and it will also give strength as well ii refreshment. This stimulation lias no" bad after effects, and the horses water ed thus in the middle of the forenoon and afternoon will be less likely to In jure themselves by drinking at noon or night of cold water while they ar-' heated and exhausted by the hi bun they have performed. It pays to give the horse good care, for the more he can be made to do, the more effective will be the hired help that works with him. A Hogr-Feeding: Convenience, The usual hog's trough ami the usual method of getting food into It. are con ducive to a Iierturlied state of mind on the part of the feeder, lx-cause the hog is accustomed to get lMidily Into the trough, where he Is likely to receive a goodly jKtrtion of his breakfast or din- tier upon the top of Ills head. The or dinary trough, too. is difficult to clean out for a similar reason the pig usual ly standing in It. The diagram shown herewith gives a suggestion for a trough that overcomes some of the difficulties mentioned, as ft Ts easTTy accessllJe from the outside, both for pouring in food and for removing any dirt or Utter that may be In It. The ac companying sketch so plainly shows the construction that detailed descrip tion does not appear to lie necessary. Trees aa Grape Trellisea. We very often see tree of various kinds used as supports for grape vines. It Is usually done as the result of neg lect, for the tree trelll In the end costs more than one built of wood and wire. There is no advantage In having a trellis more than seven or eight feet in height. This will enable the grower to gather the era pea easily, and will also make the necessary pruning less ditli cult. On a high tree the extra cost of pruning th vine more than offsets any advantage it may have for the grae vine trained on it. Besides, a tree cov ered continuously in summer with a growing vine Is soon so smothered by the foliage that Its own top will die and lsi-come unsightly. Pruninat in the Uud. Successful pruning requires some cal culation and Imagination. The branch es that grow out of shape or run Into others and so spoil the tree were orig inally only buds that could be brushed off with I he thumb and linger. It Is far better to do this work early than to wait until the bud has developed Into a large limb, which leaves an ugly senr on the tree when It Is removed. Farm Notes. F.ggs are cheap now, but, considering the fact that the hens can pick up nearly all of their food, the eggs cost but very little, being nearly all profit Calico print works use forty million dozen eggs per year, wine claritiers use ten million doxeu, photographers and oilier Industries use many millions, and these demands Increase more rap idly than table demands. A short, compact Isidy In a sow In dicates a tendency to fatten, and not to bring brge lifters and furnish them with milk. Select those with long ImmIIcs, well-rounded ribs and ten to twelve teats, well spread apart. If the soli requires nitrogen the cheapest mode of securing It Is to grow clover, but a farmer should not wait before supplying nitrogen to the aolL The clover may lie ready next season, but It will pay to use nitrate of soda or sulphate of ammonia to get the de sired results this shi son. Aliout two ouncea of linseed meal added to the food of a horse once a day will cost but little and greatly add to the condition of the animal In assist ing to regulate the bowel and Improve the coat.

Thousand of Lives, Characters and Fortunes Are Annnslly Wrecked AlonB the Gilded Pathway Having Ita Beginning in the Wine ioon. Chivalry of the War. Rev. Rolnrt Wilson, of Luke's Church, says: "In 1KM I met in Richmond a Col. McCoy, of Pennsylvania, who bad t-en a gallant wearer of the blue. We got quite chummy over a 'mixed wood' canipfire. and. wishing to put him at his ease, I told blm the story of Kershaw's magnificent reeoiiimlssaiH-e at Freder icksburg, which can never lie too often repeated. An orderly bad arrived in k..t lifk.t.. niili n command for !eli. Kershaw to have the enemy reconuoit ered at all hazards from a knoll which was swept by the tire of the shari shootcra of both armies. Kvery bush and trw bad Inch cut away by the storm of bullets, and it looked like cer tain death to the man who should at tempt it. Calmly slinging his field glass, and turning over his com maud to the next officer in rank. Joseph B. Ker shaw rode slowly up to the deatli trap, into which he would not send any oth er man. The sight of his heroic action as he sat amid the whistling minles. sweeping the opsmlng ranks with his glass, was too much for the chivalry of the Yankee commander, and the or der went down the Federal line. 'Cease firing on that officer!' The rifles ! cauie silent, the rccoiinoissauec was finished, and. raising his cap In ac knowledgment, lien. Kershaw quietly rode back at a walk, unharmed." "It was a splendid Incident." remark, ed Col. McCoy, "but I can cap it with a personal exx-rieiice of the chivalrous disposition of your men. I was on Jen. Meade's staff near Richmond, and one morning, with the general at our bead, we rode down to take a look over the river. As we turned sharply mil of the hushes anil ca t on the bank we found ourselves in point blank range of a Confederate picket drawn up on the other side. A volley would have emptied every saddle, for we were entirely al their mercy, but it would have been murder, for they could not cross anil capture us. Recognizing (Jen. Meade, the commander of the de tachment ordered tils men into line and They pivsentiil arms. We raised our caps in grateful iickiiowlcdgmeiit. rode slowly back into the bushes, and. as soon as we Were fairly out of sight, put spur to our horses mid scudded ck to the camp as if the devil was after us."--Charleston News and CoU-J I I Working of the T,iiiior Traffic. The following Hem, from the scrap txok of Mrs. Helen M. Cougar, Is an excellent Illustration of the workings of the legalized liquor traffic. She engaged the Chicago press clipping bureau to clip from the (iress all crimes leported to be due to the liquor traltie committed from Jan. 1 to May 1, 1Kj5. four months, uo duplicates or isilice Items to be furnished. She has these pasted on a piece of cloth the width ol an ordinary newspaper column. It makes lflJ feet, or sevetity yards, The summary stands: "Four hundred and fifty incidents, J 22 murderers. 1.'!4 murdered. li wom en murdered, li children murdered. 13 wives murdered by drunken husbands, 120 families ntllb-ted, !l." assaults, fights and brawls, 42 suicides, 14 women drunk. 0 divorces, ti emlM-zzlemeiits. The bureau read, at the time of fur nishing this, but nlsmt one-third of the papers of the country. I,et it lie re luemliered. also, that the telegraph Is out of reach of a large part of our country, and many crimes committed never reach the wires. She has In vestigated forty-three of the mobs and burnings of human beings, that make us blush as a nation for our brutality and lawlessness, and finds that the criminals were drunk nt the commit ting of their crimes and the mobs were fired by liquor before being roused to their brutal deeds." Children sad the Ksloon. No society In the lurid has done more rescue work among children than the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Children In New York, of which Com modore Jerry Is president. Last year It expended f"40,KKi) ami during its twenty years' existence It has rescued 230,HJ children of New York. In speaking of the work of the Koclefy Mr. (Jerry says: "But for the saloon the work of the Society would be great ly diminished. The very moment that drink enters the home parental nvm pathy gies out. The parents lose thelt fondness for their children as their fondness for drink Increases. Drink blunts their sensibilities, and they Ik-. come careless about their clothes, per sons, and health of their children. They neglect them in every way. As the re sult of association among drinking persons outside their own families, the society of their children becomes dis tasteful to drinking parents. Their feelings of love and humanity leave .them; and It naturally follows that in some besotted condition crimes are committed against the children. Then the Society steps In to protect them " Mglu.
