, iespio Bialne died at il o'clock Ves-
terday morning. The immediate cause
of death was exhaustion. The disease
which brought about his end was a
chronic affliction of the kidneys, com
plicated with resulting ailments. Death
came without pais.
Mr. Biaihe was conscious to the last.
About his bedside at the moment of
dissolution were Mrs. Mlaino and Mrs.
Dararoscn, Miss Hattie Blaine, James
G. Blaine, jr., his sister-in-law. Miss
Abigail Dodge, the physicians. Drs.
Hyatt and Johnston and the nurses.
Mr. Blaine uttered no "last words.'
His passing away, however, while
silent, was conscious, and was marked
by a final sceno which gave proof of
his faith in God and heaven. The
scene was One to which some great
artist may at some future day give fit
ting expression.
Sutrbur.ued by the members df his
family and his faithful nnvsicians. Mr
; Biaine lay inert, helpless and still. He
knew that death was at hand. All
; those noout his beasiae had put
aside the last hope. The physi
cians had whisnered the warning that
tne fluttering heart could beat for but
a few moments more. Tho dying
man's eyes seemed to be the only evi
dence of life remaining in the wasted
frame. The power of speech was gone.
'Ihe very shadow of death had cast its
gray pailor upon the recumbent figure.
But tne eyes, staring with unnatural
brilliancy, turned from one to another
of those about the room, and at last
fixed themselves upon the countenance
of his wife. For a moment there was
nbsolute silence. Then Mrs. Biaine,
her eyes meeting the last fixed gaze of
her dying husband, leaned over the
bedside and whispered tho question:
'Jambs, do you know where Waiker,
Kmmons and Alice are?''
1 here was immediate response, a
new light flared into the almost sight
less eyes, a tremor ran through the
wasted form. For two days the uying
man had not moved of his own voli
tion ona of his limbs, but now tho
watchers' gaze met a surprising and a
beautiful reward. Tne right arm,
after a second struggle, rose from the
bed cover. The white, almost pulse
less hand closed itself, with the long,
bony index finger extended. It point
ed to heaven, and the eyes gave the
answer of his soul to tbe question of
his wife.
Thus with hand outstretched to
heaven, and With eyes fixed upon
tnoso of his wife. James G. Blaino
passed away!
Mr. Blaine's death at iast came
painlessly, but not without premoni
tion. Tne attending physicians have
said repeatedly in the latter days,
since hope of recovery was abandoned,
that when the end came it would prob
ably occur with at least two or three
hours' warning. This one announce
ment, at least, among many perplex
ing and contradictory statements, has
been verified by facts. The approach
of death was made evident to the fam
ily fuiiy two hours before its actual
occurrence.
It was between 9 and 10 o'clock
when the first dangerous symptoms
were observed. The family had laKen
their breakfast and the trained nurse,
Mrs. Price, had gone down for her
breakfast also, leaving tho patient
temporarily alone. James G. Biaine,
jr.. had on his hat and coat prepara
tory to starting off for his day's duties
in the office of the Pennsylvania rail
i oad company, whore ho is employed,
wnen his motner suggested to him that
it would be belter to wait until the
nurse came up. He promptly ac
quiesced. Mr. Blaine had passed a
restless night and bad been pronounced
no worse," even by his cautious
ohvsicians. But beyond a perceptible
I-increase of the languor, which had
marnea ms condition auring tne past
few days, there was no very alarming
change to be noted.
When tho nurse returned from her.
breakfast, however, her experienced
eyes at onco saw tbat. the end was
drawing near. Both physicians were
immediately telephoned for and ar
rived witnin a few minutes of each
other. The powerful heart stimulant
(nitro-glycerine) which had several
times before orought the patient out
of the valley of death was powerless
now. Dr. Hyatt at 9:30 o'clock came
out and said to the group of waiting
newspaper men that be feared tho end
was at hand. At 10:45 he lay so still
.that the window shades were raised to
give more light to enabio the physi
cians to determine if iife still lingered.
Fiften minutes later they proclaimed
him dead.
Returning from the visit to the
house of death. President Harrison is
sued a proclamation to the people of
the L'uitod States announcing the
death, giving a brief resume of tbe
public career of the late illustrious
statesman and paying a tribute to his
patriotism which had won for him the
gratitude and affection of his country
men and the admiration of the world,
and directing that on tho day of his
funeral ail the executive departments
at Washington be closed, and on all
public buildings throughout tbe United
States the national flag be dismayed
at half staff, and for a period of thirty j
cays tne department of state be draped
in mourning.

tisM. .tvith . satisiactofy- fesiilU .ftfr
several years, and which any"J person
understanding the use of the saw and
hammer can pdt teethes? In a. few
hoars, at a trifling expense. First
make the sides and ends of a trough,
out of well seasoned two-inch plauks
of the following dimensions:
From six to eight feet long (ac
cording to the size of your hogs) two
f-ie-fi bU fiet vide lit the top two
arid a quarter feet dt trie itofcidni rfiid
d"bqtlt?two.ari,d a b'alf feet deep. Th'e
end, pieces should be grooved h'alf an
inch into ihe s'ide, pieces, the frame
nailed together with twenty-penny
nails and further seenred by two irbn
rods at each end, which should bolt on
to small iron strips traversing tho
ends of the side pieces. The bottom
of the trough should be of one quarter-inch
sheet iron, lapped over about
one inch and securely flailed to the
outside of, the sides and ends. A
further addition may bo made by fast
ening two small iron chains by staples
td tlie sides df the tr'ddgTi, nbdut two
or three feet, apart When in use,
these can be dropped in and over the
trough, and by them a hog can readily
be turned or lifted. When completed,
the trough may be set on a cheap
brick furnace, or a small ditch may be
dug for the fire, which will answer
nearly as well. When not in use, the
trough should be first washed clean,
ptit away in a dry place, and by proper
care it will last twerity ye'ars.
Another writer says: The best ar
rangement I ever saw was a trough
made of pine planks, sixteen inches
high, six and a half feet long, wider
at top than bottom, with a round iron
kettle set in the bottom, water tight,
set in brick in the usual way, with i
block of pine wood turned to fit the
inside of the kettle; a windlass above
the front edge of the trough, with a
hook and ropes, a crade with bows
and hooks to slide hogs off on, and a
stout bench for dressing. Fill the
kettle with water, start a fire and as
soon as the water is hot and hog dead,
hitch one hook into the jaw and the
other into the gambrel; hoist over the
box and lower on the block, which
drives the water out of the kettle all
around the hog. When scalded and
raised out, the block floats, and the
Water goes back into the kettle again
for the next. I have never seen any
thing so convenient and simple.
Farmers' Voice.
The Future Rutter-Maker.
An exchange asks, "What is the fu
ture of the average butter-maker?" It
is hard to say, but the average work
ing man of any kind can only look
forward with the hope of obtaining
a fair living, and quite often this hope
does not materialize in the way he ex
pected. Tho average butter maker
is being gradually crowded out
and his place taken by one who is
above the average. Some men make
good butter when they have charge of
a well equipped creamery as Ion? as
everything runs along smoothlj-, but let
new conditions confront him, let some
of the machinery get out of order, the
milk come in with peculiar odors and
taints, the cream act a little different
than usual, the butter refuse to come
at the accustomed time, or something
of that kind happen, and the average
butter-maker is all at sea and his
butter drops off three- or four
cents per pound. It is not very much
of a task to go into a well managed
creamery and work a few months with
a man who understands the business
thoroughly and learn how to make
first class butter under those condi
tions. Any man of average intelli
gence can do it, and, as long as every
thing goes right, turn out the finest
product, but let everything go wrong
and he is helpless. He has learned to
go through only a certain scries of
operations, the mechanical work; he
does not know why he does this or
that; or what effect it would have if
he did something else; he is not ac
quainted with any of the principles
which underlie the work, or any of
the other subjects that underlie it. A
man wants to learn how to feed steers
and goes to some farmer who has
been very successful in that line. The
steers are in a yard where water is at
hand and where there is a comfortable
shed for them to run under when they
feel like it, and the farmer says:
"Give them so much corn,
and so much oil meal, and
so much hay so many times a day, and
haul in lots of bedding." The man
does as he is told and the steers make
good gains. Does that man know how
to feed steers? Only under those con
ditions and with those foods and steers
of tbat age. So it is with butter-making.
The butter-maker of the future
will understand the principles which
underlie bis practice; he will under
stand the dairy cow, what she should
be fed and how she should be cared
for, how the milk should be handled
before he gets it, as well as how to
handle it himself. He must under
stand, also, the chemical properties of
milk and its products, and the science
of bacteriology in its iclationstomilk,
cream, and butter-making. Men who
have knowledge of these things will
make the high-selling butter of the
future. Journal of Agriculture.
Shade Trees.
When the country was new everyone
wanted to get rid of shade trees as
they were entirely too plenty, but as
population moved West and the prairie
countries were settled up the people
missed the woodland they had been
accustomed to seeing and began to
plant groves, and ifcMs a fact that the
taste for growing trees has worked
from the West to the East and now in
all parts of the country there are those
who are inquiring what are the best
sorts of trees for shade on lawns arid
along streets. Among oar native trees
I there is a large chance for choice, as
we have many beautiful ones. The soft
J maple is a quick grower and free from
insect pests. Its habit of growth
is graceful, and its bright green
j leaves with aiiverv under sides, are
grateful to the efd while in the au
tamri rid ixce csri show a gfatr
varieiy df tiri& "f He tJiigat? maple" is
also, a very good shade tr'c'e', WritiU
slower of growth than the soft maple,
and it is Jriclided to grow taller, es
pecially if set in grodp'i The .elpa
does well in nearly every part of the"
country and it is a particularly grace
ful tree. It possesses one advantage
of being firmly rooted and does not
blow ddttd easily. Tho walnut is
rather too open to make d good shade
tfe though if carefully attended to
il wili dd ief well. It does not
tfarisplant weii add shorild be planted
tier's it isf tx stand. CHc3tnrits triake-first-class
shade wiieYc tJie'y will g row
and in a few years they will furnish a
supply of nuts that will make the
tree a pfofitsWe one to have. Oaks
do not transplant Tve1l,lnt if they
are taken up with great care they w)ll
repay the trouble. Grown by them
selves they make magnificent shade
trees and are of quite a different
growth from tho same tree grown in
tHe forest Thd linden or basswood
tree makes a beautiful sliatle and
should (be grown wherever it will do
welL It puts' forth early in the spring
and holds its leaves until severe frost
comes. It is a very rapid grower and
its well known quality as a source of
honey endears it to every bee-Keeper
in the land. In every yitft f the
country there are trees adapted to
planting for shade and at this day it
is not necessary to urge the desirabil
ity of having shade trees about the
placC
rfajtant"! Buckwheat,

ftiany dnd is' well liked, the" stfed be
ing larger thari other vell known va
rieties. Where the' corn wats drowned
out by floods, it might have been
sown. Years ago I frequently drove
by a farm where near the road was a
low, rich piece of ground yearly yield
ing an immense growth of iron-weed
and useless plants. It changed hands
one spridg. it was before the advent
of tiling, but when, the low, rich piece
of ground had dri6d out, it waff
plowed up, pulverized and sowed to
buckwheat, which put a quietus on
the weeds. The value of this ground
was ascertained, and yearly sinco it
has yielded good crops of different
kinds. Farmer's Voice.
Broiled rice is an excellent breakfast
flish, atld served with a poached egg
on each portion is valuably nutritious
and strengthening. The rice is boiled
the day before, and put away in a
deep dish. The next morning it should
be cut in slices, brushed lightly with
melted butter, and broiled on a fine
wire broiler over a rather slow fire.
The eggs are poached, and one put on
each slice of rice. Send to the table
on a hot platter garnished with cresses
or parsley.
Farni Notes;
Salt hogs regularly.
A small milker is often a good but
ter maker.
It is poor economy to allow the
teams to run down.
With all animals cleanliness is a pre
ventative of disease.
Many good breeders prefer training
mares after breeding.
Barley makes a good grain food for
either hogs or horses.
The man who has much to sell
usually has less to buy.
Corn lacks in muscle forming and
strength giving material.
In nearly all cases it will be best to
deepen the soil gradually.
The poor unthrifty hog is often the
prey of vermin or parasites.
If the hay is the least musty, always
moisten it before feeding.
In too many cases growing stock are
fed too much fattening food.
Overworked butter nearly always
presents a greasy appearance.
The more time it requires to fatten
an animal the greater the cost
Good roads reduce the cost of get
ting the farm products to market
Oats is ona of the very best feeds
that can be given to growing colts.
All ibod given in excess of the food
of support is the food of production.
The shoulder produces the best wool,
the belly the worst and the back and
sides the average.
Sweet oil is recommended for roup,
rub well over the heads and give a half
teaspoonful inwardly.
If you have better sheep than your
neighbors they are none the poorer
while you are the richer.
If working back into sheep again
look out for good wethers as well as
wool and try a combination.
Home Hints.
Boil a new clothesline and it will
not kink in after use.
Carpets should be shaken on a clear,
sunny d.iy when there is no wind.
Preserve tin-foil to cover the corks
used in bottling catsup and Chili
sauce.
A good way to clean stovepipes is to
rub them well with linseed oil while
they are warm.
Cork that has been boiled may be
pressed more tightly into a bottle
than when it is cold.
Tin may be scoured with little effort
if kerosene and powdered lime, whit
ing or wood ashes be used.
Poultry may be made profitable, or
an intolerable nuisance nfther, accord
ing to the treatment given.
To keep black ants a Way, sprinkle
black pepper in their haunts or draw a
chalk marl; across their runways.
All embroideries and colored gar
ments also should be ironed on the
wrong side whenever practicable.
Spots on the wood of furniture may
be removed by rubbing vigorously
with turpentine and sweet oil, and
then renewing the polish by brisk
rubbing.
Vinegar bottles may be cleaned by
crushed eggshells shaken in them with
soap and warm water. Rinse in clear,
cold water and shake as dry as possible
before using.
Steel knives, used at table or for
cutting bread, meat or anything for '
which a sharp knife is needed, should j
never be used for stirring or looking i
anything in hot grease, as it makes j
them very dull.
Polished floors should be rubbed two !
or three times with linseed oil, and i
then polished every week with turpen- J
tine and beeswax. The oftener Ihe ,
nil l rn"hViril 5n tr lumiji
darker the board will be.

WINTER IN ST. LOUIS, j
. 1
faatiaa; Parti. lea aad Coal Roth
CaaaarA Xaraa's Good Porta
St. Loins, Ma,. Jan. 2a In two. of
the great parks of the city, Lafayette
park and Forest park,- skaters, by
thousands, have enjoyed themselves
sinc'SHew Year's Day. The skaliftf?
in each of the parks is equally good,
but there is a social distinction be
tween thoso who skate in Lafayette,
and those who go out to the park. Id
Forest park, it was a good-humored
scramble all the time to keep out of the
way of somebody, whil in Lafayette,
most of the skaters know each other,
and the skating goes on with mnch
more formality. Some of the fashion
able" peO"p!e gave skating parties in
Lafayette parlc rfarfng; tho week. In
vitations, lettered inside tke pictcre
of a skate, would be sent out, and two
frizes wonld be given, one for the best
skate'r, rind the other for tho skater
who got the mofrt falls. It is seldom
that the cold weather ever lasts this
long in St. Louis, and the ice concerns
are making the best of it Some of the
companies aro cutting fifteen thous
and tons a day. This sounds enor
mous, but in fact; it in uthe report of
only one of tho seven ice-harvesting
syndicates of .the city. All of tbeec
say ttn5 the price of ice this summer
will be one-fotrrth less than it was
last season.
Speaking of ice, coal is H&liitmtty
suggesfeiJ,- snd it i worth while irt
say mat in every ci"jr of the size of St.
Louis, just now, the price ?f this fuel
is at least one-third higher thafl it Is
here. One can buy SDft coal here at
11 cents a bushel and anthracite at
$7.23 a ton from any coal dealer. Com
pare those prices with those that pre
vail in Sew York, Chicago, Boston and
Cincinnati feut and see what an ad
vantage St Lottis has These price?
re to the retail trade; -tliti wholesale
consutocrsy of course, pay much leas.
The reason for the low prices is one
that assures the St Lonia man that
his cheap coal can never be made
higher by a combine. The coal capital
here has tried to control the market.
Slid failed for natural chums. Withiu
thirty miles tff tbe city, in this Ktte
and Illinois, there are" inexhaustible
beds of coal, so near the surface tbnt
it takes but little money to mine it
Farmers frequently strike beds of coal,
while plowing, sink shafts with
their hired men, and then sell out to a
company of miners. New mines are
opened every year by new men, and
the supply ia kept up to the demand, so
that there is never any violent fluctua
tion in the price. In many cities, the
coal bill of the man of small mean's
worries him more than his rent In
St Louis, his coal costs him hardly
more thau his street car fare.
The true tales of money made in real
estate in St Louis just now, have sl.
pleasant sound to the car, like stories
one hears of fortunes got in mining.
There are so many electric railways
being built in and around the city that
ihe man who bought a lot last year
for a homestead finds rery likely this
year that it is too valuable for him to
hold for that purpose, and he sells it
and buys another still further in the
suburts, which he will probably find
himself selling next year for the same
reason. One instance of this occurred
to a hospital nurse. She had bought
a lot on time payments for a thousand
dollars, paying $10 a month. Her in
come was thirty and she lived on less
than twenty. Before she had paid
$300, tho Assembly gave a suburban
road the right to run by the block
where her lot was. A speculator
bought her lot for S.",000 cash. He
will make money, of course, but she
has got a sum of money whose inter
est will provide for her as long as she
15ves. Hundreds of similar anecdotes
might be told of people who have
bought suburban property in the last
ree years.
