When the civil war broke cut an Im
mense meeting was held In Bridgeport,
Conn., and many men volunteered for
the army, says the Youth's Compan
ion. To the general surprise, tine oi
the richest men in the state, fellas
Howe, the inventor of the sewing ina;
thine, arose end made .this brief
speech: Every mad is caliied upon td
do what he can for his country. I
don't know what I can do, unless It Is
tb enlist ind serve as a private in the
Union .army. I want . no position; I
am willing to learn and do wnat I can
with a musket" But It soon proved
that the chronic lameness from which
Howe suffered Incapacitated him from
marching with a musket, even to the
ek'tent of standing sentry. Determined
to be of use, however, he volunteered
to serve the regiment as 11b jwstmas
ter, messenger and expressman. Send
ing home for a suitable horse and
wagon he drove into Baltimore twice
a day and brought td the camp its let
ters and parcels, it was said that he
would run dver half the state to de
liver a letter to some lonely mother
anxious for her soldier boy or bring
back to him a pair of boots, which be
heeded during the rainy weather. For
four months after the Seventeenth
Connecticut entered the field the gov
ernment was sd pressed for money
that no payment to the troop3 could be
made and there was consequently
great suffering among the families of
the soldiers and painful anxiety en
dured by the men themselves. One
day a private soldier came quietly into
the paymaster's office in Washington
and took his seat in the corner to
await his turn for an interview. Pres
ently the officer said: "Well, my man.
what can I do for you?" "I have
called to see abont be payment of the
Seventeenth Conm cticut," answered
the soldier. The paymaster, somewhat
irritated by what he supposed to be a
needless and impertinent interruption,
told him sharply that "he could do
nothing without money and that until
the government furnished some it was.
useless for soldiers to come bothering
him about pay."
"I know that the government is in
6traits," returned the soldier. "I have
called to find ont how much money it
will take to give my regiment about
two months' pay. I am ready to fur
nish the amount"
The amazed officer asked the name
of his visitor, who modestly replied,
"Ellas Howe." He then wrote a draft
for the required sum $31,000. Two or
three days later the regiment was
paid. When Mr. Howe's name was
called he went up to the paymaster's
desk and signed the receipt for $2S.G5
of his own money.
The officers of a neighboring regi
ment went over to the Seventeenth
Connecticut to see If they could not
"borrow their private."
Brltlah BeglsMntal Tats.
One of the articles in the English
Illustrated is that on regimental pets.
One of the most favored of these was
Bob, the regimental dog of the Second
battalion Royal Berkshire regiment.
Bob accompanied the Sixty-sixth to
Afghanistan in 1879, and distinguished
himself highly at the battle of Mai
wand. Though man after man was
cut down, he kept on running to the
front, barking fiercely at the enemy,
until at length a bullet laid him low.
The wound, howeter, was not fatal.
After a painful journey of six weeks
Bob found his way to Kandahar, recognized-his
old corps, and accompan
ied it once again into action. When
the regiment returned to England the
next year he received great honor at
the hands of the queen. A year later
Bob was run over and killed in the
Isle of Wight.
Jock Was tne name given to a dog
who attached himself to the band of
thfe Forty-second (Black Watch). He
had a favorite trick of begging for a
penny, upon receipt of which he would
trot off to the canteen and buy a largo
biscuit Once the canteen man thought
to get the best of him, and only hand
ed him a small broken biscuit in ex
change for his penny. Jock made a
great fuss, running up and down the
canteen, howling and barking, until ul
timately one of the men gave him an
other penny. Immediately Jock
jumped up to the canteen, showed his
coin, and bolted out to the canteen of
the next regiment, where his purchase
was duly made. From that day he ta
booed his own canteen, and whenever
he got a penny only put In an appear
ance to show his money and then took
his custom elsewhere. If all stories be
true, this one is.also.

Dake Stands Uadar Oar Flag;.
An Irish duke photographed beneath
the stars and stripes! Who cares about
seal fishing and arbitration treaties
when Irish royalty condescends to
have its picture taken beneath the
American flag?
The Duke of Connaught 'was the
priuce who so honored America. The
occasion was in 1896, when the warlike
organization, the Ancient and Honor
able Artillery of Boston, the oldest
American military body, visited Eng
land. Col. Bradley, the commander of
the "Ancients," was photographed
with the duke at Aldershot. Probably
for the first time in the history of the
two countries has a member of the
English royal family posed beneath the
stars and stripes, much less been pho
tographed in such an unpatriotic po
sition. Stoves for Soldiers Pocket 1.
When Lord Dundonald was in Kash
mir some years ago he noticed that the
peasantry kept themselves warm by
means of small vessels which contain
ed burning charcoal, says the London
Times. The expedition to Gilghit was
in progress at the time, and numbers
of the carriers employed were perish
ing of cold in the mountain passes.
It then occurred to Lord Dundonald
that If some safe and portable means
of burning slow combustion fuel had
been available their lives might have
been saved, and, further, that such a
means could not but be useful In time
of wr.r in all countries and climate.?.
He therefore experimented until he
produced a little warmer which is
called the "Instra." its interior being
"instratified" with an incombustible
arrangement of five strata of sub
stances. In this it is possible to burn
powdered charcoal fuel in a safe, port
able and cleanly manner. Thinking
that the Indian frontier at this mo
ment was just the place for the "in
stra," his lordship next brought the
matter before Lord Wolseley, who
thought it worth a trial, and communi
cated with the Indian office, which has
forwarded 500 "instras," offered by
the inventor, to the Tirah expedition
ary force. Accompanying each "in-
'tra" are eight tins holding seven re
fills apiece. One tin would afford
about twenty-one hours' warmth. If
this trial should prove a success. Lord
Dundonald holds that a general will,
by using the "instra," be able to send
away a force from camp and be. com
paratively indifferent whether the
blankets arrive or not. Men. too,
will be able to march every night and
still keep warm. In appearance the
apparatus is not unlike an old-fashioned
muff warmer. These, however, de-
.rived their warmth from hot water.
The fuel slips into the middle and is
kept in position by- a cone which
screws on to the top. The partitions
I which make its resting place are of
wire and the outside of the radi?tor
is perforated with small holes, so that
the heat easily escapes. The whole
thing is quite light, and with a small
tin of refills would go conveniently
enough in a coat pocket.

A German inventor, Ernest Salzberg,
has made an improvement in incan
descent gas burners which the United
States consul at Crefeld thinks may
prove of much importance. The in
vention depends upon the fact that
when the pressure of the gas upon the
Incandescent body from which the light
is derived is sufficiently increased the
light becomes very intense, although
agreeable' to the eye. Gas is supplied
to the burner under a pressure of three-and-a-half
atmospheres, and it is said
1 that a single incandescent jet of the or
dinary size can be made to emit a light
equal to that of more than 1,000 can
dles. The inventor asserts that the
cost of this light is much less than that
of the electric arc light

Jieen ..tttjrtjhjy n investigated -and
discussed by leading apiarist, fjP
of our best apiarists claim that bees
fly in search of. honey and gather it
from three to six miles away, from
choice. Others that are more reserved
say they prefer to gather and do gather
the bulk of the honey crop within
three miles of the apiary. As for my

it frequently occurs that, as in your
case, this cannot be done, and the next
best, thing to do Is proper. I believe
the.l8ealit aiia ftlMtt hfts Something
to do with this matter., I. brieve thSt,
bees will not succeed as well-in going
long distances In a prairie country
where winds are prevalent as ttxy
would otherwise. It may be to 1HB
extent Imagination with me, as I have
not thoroughly experimented in that
ling ttiierg, 1 ,5S ho. i6cated; but it
seems to me that my bees, hre. ih tje'ri-'
tral Kansas, do not go as far, in search
of honey as they did in Ohio, where t
formerly kept them. In this I shall
have to say "In general." for I know
of an exception. During last spring
my bees visited a peach orchard, when
the trees wefe in full bloom, eight
miles from the apiary. ..But of ctfflfW
this was a very fine, calm day,, and I
do not hesitate to say that it It, were
not for the prevailing winds of thi3
country bees would go farther, and
make a success of gathering honey
much faither away than in hilly coun
tries. I am firmly of the opinion that
bees will secure a -much greater crop
of honey If they can get it within a
mile or two from the apiary; at th.
same-time they will get a good paying
crop within, three riiiles. Being sit
uated three miles from alfalfa fields,
the advantages wduld depend soiiie
what upon the direction you aVe id
eated from the same, if the frequent
winds come from the direction of the
alfalfa, so that the loaded bee3 wotild
come, with the wind, it would be much'
better than if it were the other way. It
takes a pretty strong wind to check
the flight of honey bees it not laden
with honey or pollen, but, on the other
hand, when they are heavily loaded
with honey or pollen they cannot msike
much headway in the wind. One
thousand acres of alfalfa might sup
port two or three hundred colonies of
bees, but it would depend upon the
manner in which the clover is handled.
If harvested before or just at the time"
it come3 Into bloom, it would not be
safe to riskany great number of cdl
onies. unless there be other forage fdr
the bees to live on outside df alfalfa.

with my boys on the Berkshire hilli,
writes S. E. Hatch in Farm and Home.
I found if j-ou buy a place with good
buildings and good location, you will
have to pay for it There are some
very cheap places if you know where td
look for them. To renew New England
farming lands and make them look
like prosperous farms and homes they
must have protection, not in tariff, but
protection from the meat packers'
trusts of the west There are thou
sands of acres of as good grazing lands
as stock needs that thirty years ago
were covered with cattle and sheep,
that are now growing up to bushes and
weeds, because the owners cannot com
pete with Chicago butchers. I asked,
"Cannot you sell beef cattle so the
meats can be sold at the prices we
have to pay?" The reply always was,
"Yes, and for less, but Chicago butch
ers won't let us. for they put their men
in and run prices way down and we
nave to quit." In a discussion in the
United States senate last spring be
tween Senators Hoar of Massachusetts
and Tillman of South Carolina, in
speaking of the trusts and monopolies,
Senator Hoar claimed the national gov
ernment cannot restrict them in the
states, but the states have the power
Individually to enact laws controlling
them. In that case the New England
states should combine, pass the same
laws in each state, and farmers can
again cover their hills and valleys with
cattle and sheep, working men can get
meats for less than they have to pay
now, and the western men can sell their
meats at a fair profit if they will. Put
a stop to their conspiring to beat the
farmers and the local butchers out of
their legitimate business for a living;
that is the protection we want.
Farm Depression in England. Agri
cultural distress is very prevalent in
Great Britain, and a correspondent of
an English paper puts the situation in
the following way: "Wheat used to be
the farmer's main crop in the past.
Now through foreign competition the
wheat crop is an unprofitable one. In
the past the wool crop was a very use
ful one for the farmer's pocket; but
now it is only worth half the money.
Beef in the rast was worth from 10s to
12s per stone. In the present day it
only fetches from 6s to 8s per stone.
Pork at the present time is hardly
worth raising. Barley and mutton
have been the only props left for the
farmer to rely upon during the last few
years, and even these seem ready to
break under the strain. Ex.
Improvement in Irish Butter. Irish
butter, since the introduction of dairy
instruction into Ireland, is beginning
to recover the position it had lost be
cause of inferiority. It is now finding
a good sale in England, but owing to
its bad reputation it is sold as "Danish
butter." How well this fact illustrate
two economic truths: (1) That in
struction, if practical, does really he Jo
the producer; (2) that a reputation
for the production of good products is
an easy thing to lose, a hard thin? to
get back, and a good thing when it i3
got back. In some districts of Ireland
the average price of tutter made in the
districts has imprcTfd 3d a pound be
cause of dairy instruction. Ex.
A wealthy Englishwoman, Lady Mur
ray, is establishing a home for poor
authors at Antibes, France. Those
sent thera who are not incurable, but
who are likely to benefit by the change,
will pay 5 per week.
The question of what influence the
stock has on the scion is still a live
one, and there seems to be no general
experiments to which we can refer
that conclusively prove either side.

A GREAT TIDE OF PROSPERITY.
Canadian Loan Companies Getting Money

Probably in the history of the con
tinent there never was such a tide of
prosperity enjoyed by any country as
the Dominion of Canada is being fa
vored with. That portion of Canada
known as Western Cadada Is attract
ing thousands of people, who are Seek
ing homes on the arable lands df that
new but rapidly developing country.
Possessed cf exceptionally good rail
road privileges, the best school sys
tem in the world, church03 .in every
small settlement, while in the towns
and cities all denominations are rep
resented, and with markets ifi close
proximity to the grain fields, most of
the requirements for a comfortable ex
istence are met. The development
that is now taking place in the min
ing districts gives an Impulse to agri
culture, and good prices, with good
crops, bring about a state of affairs
ttat the crowded districts ot more
populous centers are taking advan
tage of. The Associated Press dis
patches a few days since had the fol
lowing telegram:
Toronto, Feb. 4. (Special.) Loan
companies that made advances on
Manitoba pmaerty years ago report
that the retu.ns from the west during
the past three months have exceeded
expectations. One company has taken
from Manitoba over $20,000 interest,
and discharged mortgages, many of
which had been written off a year ago.
Directors ot leading loan companies
are taking a greater interest in busi
ness of their institutions, and are in
quiring into many properties on which
advances have been made.
The climate in the western provinces
of Manitoba, Alberta, Assiniboia and
Saskatchewan is excellent, there be
ing no healthier anywhere. The Can
adian government is now offering spe
cial inducements for the encourage
ment of settlers, and they have their
agents at work throughout the United
States for the purpose of giving In
formation and distributing literature.
Among those going to Canada are
many ex-Canadians, who have failed
to make as good a living as they ex
pected in the United States.

the preparation and prosecution of
their applications when crowded with
work as we are at present. The work
of examination in the U. S. Patent

now combines a series of bell-shaped
partitions with the separating bowl
and provides each partition with a
fixed tube to serve as a milk conduct
or and to retain the partitions apart.
We have prepared and filed in the
