Cssfl ' When Mr. Spurgeon first began his ministry an anonymous critic used to write to him constantly about his mistakes In grammar and pronunc iation. Mr. Spurgeon at first resented these criticisms, but he soon learned to proat by then. "After awhile." he said in telling the story, "I looked for his weekly memoranda with much in terest. If I repeated a sentence which I had used two or three Sundays be fore he would write: 'See the same sentence In such and such a sermon.' " Mr. Spurgeon, like everybody else, had his pet quotation, and he used this line, "Nothing in my hand to bring," rather frequently. So his commen tator wrote him : "We are sufficient ly informed cf the vacuity of your hand." Wheat 83 a Bushel.

Hail's Family 1'iHs arc tbe best The Work Will Coatlaae. The divisions of tbe Baltimore ft Ohio Railroad west of the Ohio river are to receive the same sort of im provements that have been made on the lines east of the Ohio. Not only are the grades to be reduced wherever it is practicable, but very much heav ier motive power is to be introduced. In order to carry the additional weight the bridges on all the divisions are being replaced with heavier structure; and the track relaid with heavier steel rail. It has been demonstrated by ac tual experiment that these changes will result in an Increase in train load ing in some places of more than 60 per cent, the average being about 42 per cent. It is the hops of the receiv ers that within the next two years the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad will be an 18-foot grade road from Chicago to Baltimore, with the exception of that portion of it which passes over the mountains where helping engines will have to be used. A great many of the estimates for the different portions of the work have been made, and those who have seen the plans state that the work can be done at a surprisingly low cost considering the return.

And the feud Is done forever of the blue coat and tbe gray All honor to the Tenth at La Quasina! mark and Red. It is well known that the colored troops in the United States army have proved very efficient in the service of tbe plains and frontier, but perhaps it Is not so well known that the Indians are more afraid of tbe black soldiers than of the white soldiers. That this Is the fact is vouched for by an army officer who bas been "interviewed" on the subject by the Washington Star. "The cavalry troop to which I be longed," this gentleman said, "sol diered alongside a couple of troops of :he Ninth cavalry, a colored regiment, during the last Sioux troubles. We were performing chain-guard that is hemming-in duty and our task was to prevent the Ogallalas from straying from the reservation. If any of them attempted to pass, we bad authority to prod them with our bayonets. "The result was the white troops often had to perform the risky job of forcing back armed six-foot savages with the bayonet, and there were some very dangerous moments; but tbe black troops alongside bad no such trouble. While the Indians were con tinually crowding upon the white sol diers, they let the blacks entirely alone. "Moreover, the black troops obtain ed from the Indians ten times as much general obedience about the camps as :ho white ones did. The Indians would fairly jump to obey tbe uniformed olacks. One day a black sergeant saw a minor chief, who was sunning him self at the door of his tepee, send bis squaw with a couple of pails down to tbe creek to get water. Tbe black ser geant walked up to the lazy savage and prodded him. "'Look oheah! he exclaimed, 'jes' shake yo' no-'count bones an go tote date watah yo'se'f! Yo heah me?' "The Indian did not understand the words, but he comprehended perfectly the gesture, especially when the black man took the pails from the woman's hands and put them into those of her lord and master. He went after the water, and at an astonishingly rapid pace." During the Pine Ridge troubles, when the Indians were on one occa sion in line of battle, the duty of charging them was confided to the two black troops. The negroes began to Fell as soon as they started, and their yell went on increasing with every Jump of their horses, until it seemed to the listening white soldiers as if the air were being rent with the screams of ten thousand demons. As soon as tbe Indians caught sight, through the cloud of alkali dust, of the black faces and open mouths of the charging blacks, and got the full ef fect of this mounting roar, they broke and fled, and were soon surrounded and disarmed. The chiefs afterward confessed that the braves were scared by the awful howling of the black troopers. These black soldiers can fight as well as they can howl. Their record on the plains has been one of absolute in trepidity. Two llrare Men. Smith was a gunner in the service of the East India company, was known as "the sweep," a derisive name given to mark some eccentricity, for the man was a character. He had charge of the boats belonging to the military station, and one day wrote the brigade major, asking, "When shall I have the bote ready?" The major replied, "Have ths boat ready at such an hour." When the major went down to the river with a party of ladles, he asked Smith how he spelled "boat." Un abashed by the presence of the Iadie3, Smith, without a symptom of nervous ness, answered the officer, "Some peo ple spells it b-o-a-t, but I spells it b-o-t-e." But Smith, notwithstanding his mocking nickname, was not a man to be laughed at. One day the roof of the building which held the ammunition caught fire. There was a panic; even the best disciplined soldiers lost their heads. But "the sweep" mounted the roof, pulled off the thatch, poured buckets of water over the flames, and saved the magazine. It was as plucky a thing as it was possible for a man to do; for there was powder enough In the building to wreck the station. There Is no telling what "a singed cat" will do. The present writer knew a Gloucester boy, so weak in body and o effeminate in disposition that his brothers, who were seamen, used to speak of him as our "poor little Da vie." At the, beginning of the civil war Davie enlisted in the navy, and being a high school graduate, wa3 made a petty officer. One day a fire broke out on the ves sel near the magazine. Davie, seeing that the men and officers hesitated to take the pipe of the hose down into the smoky between-decks. snatched It. jumped down and held it against the fire until the water had quenched It Then he fell down, senseless, overcome by the heat and smoke. Davie was again promoted, and had to listen to the commander's praise ut tered from the quarter-deck, the sailors and officers standing at attention. Da--ie almost fainted again. He Became a Hero. Some ex-ccnfedcrate3" were swap ping warslories recently, when one of them told the following. which conveys a wholesome lesson against hasty judg ment Just before the battle of Sfurfr boro a detachment of Morgans com mJ Mand was guarding a mountain pass few miles from Bradyville, Tenn. A portion of tbe valley leading tb the pass was densely wooded and swampy. Tbe marshy ground abounded in bull frogs of huge proportions, and the trees afforded a roosting place for numerous owls. Among the soldiers was a strlp pling by the name of Spreelcr. It was a wild and windy night when Spreeler was called upon to do guard duty. About one o'clock when the sky was of a leaden hue and the wind sighed Qtfully through the trees an owl on a near-by limb hooted: "Who who are you?" "John Spreeler." exclaimmed the sentinel, trembling in hla boots. Just at that moment a bullfrog, in deep bass tones, seemed to say: "Sur sur surround him!" "I'll be hanged if you do," .exclaimed Spreeler as he fired his musket and broke for the camp, which had been thrown Into the wildest confusion by the alarm, which was supposed to mean that the enemy was attacking the out posts. When the true state of affairs was understood the other men made life a burden fcr John until the Battle of Murfreesboro, when the Lincoln county stripling was promoted for conspicuous bravery. He was afterwards assigned to Bragg's army, and died like a hero at the "battle above the clouds" while in the forefront of the charge, trying to spike an enemy's cannon. The Soldier at Homr. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, in his talk to the Rough Riders, gave them some timely advice, which is worth the attention of every soldier who 13 re turning' to take upon himself the du ties of peace. Here is a motto fcr all military heroes: "But, boys, don't get gay and pose as heroes or lie on your laurels, because they wither. Be careful of your con duct in tbe future, as you bave In the past. The world will be kind for ten days, and then, in those cold words that the world is capable of speaking at times, it will declare you're spoiled by going to war." The beneficiary of this advice, if it is taken, says the New York Tribune, will be the soldier himself far more than anybody else, and when the sol dier is warned to be modest it is not because of any lack of appreciation of his bravery or of the splendid work he did, but from a realization of the tendency of human nature to reactions of sentiment due to slight causes. The American people today are profoundly grateful to the troops who responded to their country's call, deeply grieved over the fatalities which attended the prosecution of the war and much dis turbed over the mishaps which have caused needless suffering. It is desir able that they should retain these feel ings, and both for their "own sake and the sake of the soldiers never think lightly of the soldier or teach future generations that military service can be forgotten. The Volunteers. In the management of the men, writes a correspondent with the army in the Philippines, lies the whole weak ness of a volunteer army. It is diffi cult to impress the volunteers with the idea that they are bent on serious business; most of them act as if they were on a pleasure trip. It is per haps not policy to dwell on the distinc tion between our small trained army and our multitudinous volunteer force but some facts it is the duty of ev ery observer to bring to public notice. It Is the opinion of the majority of good Americans that, when the occa sion requires, we can raise an army of volunteers and "lick the world." This crude idea of war has been fostered by the late rebellion, where both sides were volunteer forces. Fatal as such a crude doctrine .is. the attitude of the public is likely to find support in the easy victory we had over the Spaniard, In spite of the fact that that victory was made possible by our highly train ed navy. The weakness of our volun teer force should, therefore, be well noted, that we may not be led in the arrogance of our easy victory to rush headlong Into a new war. Itrttnlt or the War. One consequence of the war Is to be seen in the contract given by Russia to the Cramps for two battleships and a protected cruiser of-the Olympia type. Speaking of these Russian ships, Mr. Cramp said: "Wc shall begin to lay at once their keels. The battle ships will be of 12,700 tons displace ment and must maintain a speed of eighteen knots for twelve consecutive hours, with all ccal, ammunition and ctores on board, and these stores, coal and ammunition are i0 per cent greater than those carried on any ship outside of Russia. This speed, under these ex traordinary conditions, must be n.ado with ordinary, natural draft." PERSONALITIES. With the death of the earl of Mans field, at the age of 92. the number of survivors of the unreformed parlia ment is reduced to two. the duke of Northumberland and the earl of Mex borough, unless, indeed, there may be still okp surviving commoner who sat in it. This is, however, improbable, as those who entered the old parlia ment at a very early age were gener ally sons of peers as is also the case, by the way, with the modern parlia ment. It seems almost incredible that the earl of Mansfield attended the cor onation in 1S2G of Czar Nicholas I., great-grandfather of the present czar. But, on reflection, it does not appear so remarkable. That czar was born on ly a year before his brother-in-law. Kaiser William I., and only ten years before Lord Mansfield. Capt. Alfred S. Barker, who succeeds Gapt. Clark, was the Oregon's first commander when she took her rough initial sea trips. He is a son of Mas sachusetts and had not yet completed his four years' course In the naval academy at Annapolis when he was ordered out" to the steam frigate Mis sissippi. He took part in the capture of New Orleans and in the fight at Port Hudson, where the Mississippi was lost. Dr. Joseph Loachim, tbe famous vio linist, has just passed his 67th birthday. He bas been a remarkable musician almost from infancy. He studied un der Bohm in Vienna, and when only about 12 years old he entered the great Leipzig conservatorium.whose founder, Mendelssohn, observed his ability. Fernande, the daughter of Ferdinand de Lesseps. who accompanied her father- on bis visit to this country, hav ing secured a divorce about a year ago from Comte de Gontaut Biron, is now about to marry the Comte de Mira mont.

The whole science of butter making seems to revolve around tbe question of cleanliness. The problem of dirt is the one that is hardest to solve. The man that thinks that he Is dairy ing in a cleanly manner Is almost al ways mistaken, for cleanliness re quires far greater effort than most of us suspect The microscopist comes along and looks into our "clean" utensils and finds microbes there that will certainly corrupt the product. He looks Into the stables and finds other microbes there, but in greater num bers. He goes into the milk-house and he finds the dirt there, and, mixed with it, swarms of microbes. This is so, though to the eye all is clean. We do not take into proper account the smallness of the particles of dirt nor the smallness of the minute plants we call bacteria. Wo wash the pails till they are clean to all appearance, but time and events show that they are not clean. We wash out the milk cans and think we have removed all remains of the milk and dirt and mi crobes. But put in the top to tbe can and let tbe can set for a day. Then open it, and the nostrils will be sa luted with the foulest and rankest of smells. The very air inside the can seems to have become a breeding medium for these bacteria. Scientific dairying requires the scalding out of these cans by steam, and even steam will not do the work unless the time element be taken Into consideration. Wc have an illustration of how hard It is to keep dirt out of the dairy by the way in which the bottling system bas come into disrepute in some sec tions of the country. It was believed that bottling the milk was a great improvement over the old way of dip ping milk for each customer out of a can. This was on tbe presumption that the bottles would always be prop erly and thoroughly washed, as any defect of this kind would be made known in the unclean appearance of the bottles. The trouble proved to be that the bottles were not sufficiently washed to kill any disease germs that might have obtained a lodgment in them. Thus at West Point and in Philadelphia it was believed that scarlet fever was spread by this means. The bottles, after being emp tied of their contents, stood open in the houses where this disease was present. As the bottles were not washed by the people that used tbe milk, the little milk left in the bottles became a good breeding medium for the germs of the disease. When the bottles were washed at tbe bottling establishment the baptism of beat was not sufficient to kill the bacteria, and when the new milk was put into them the disease germs found a new and enlarged medium for their multipli cation. The same is' true of the germs that cause milk to sour and butter to spoil. Heat and acids are necessary to give the cleanliness required in the dairy. Rattan Fowl " In the human family we find oc casionally fine physical specimens of the species that are of no practical use in the world, and the same rule will apply in some degree to all ani mal life; and I bave concluded that it depends largely on the breeder wheth er a domestic animal or fowl is sim ply a thing of beauty or built for busi ness, says a writer in Indiana Far mer. If a fancier's aim is wholly with a view to have a fowl of handsome feather and comely appearance, or in other words, "a winner at the show," it is not surprising that such a bird may not be a success as a layer of eggs. My experience teaches that if a person wants money making busi ness hens, he must keep that point in view, culling closely all drones, loaf ers, and doubtful characters, and breed only those that are most prolific in money making qualities, without so much regard for fine feathers. I want eggs and plump meaty hens, for in them there is money, and while these requirements are filled, it matters not whether they are pure blood, or of any fancy strain. Disappointment awaits the poultryman who buys eggs for hatching on the recommendation of others. My hens may do well for me under the diet and peculiar condi tions they are accustomed to, but transfer them to another climate, dif ferent feed, surroundings changed, and they perhaps will prove very unsat isfactory, and it is for this reason that I in some degree account for tbe oft icpeated accusation of misrepresenta tion on the part of sellers. Therefore, don't depend too much upon others; read good sound poultry literature, and be guided by your own good sense aud experience. Raising poultry is a legitimate business, but needs, to be studied, built up, and taken care of as any live merchant or manufacturer takes caie cf his affairs, and keeps up with the times. It Is by no means simply chance or luck, but hard work, that brings success, and he who thinks otherwise had better look elsewhere for a "soft snap." Theie Is money in the business, we have ample proof. There are some failures the same as in every other line of business; but this is no reason why the hen should retire from busi ness. Bone ami Kgc. In selling eggs at market price the question of profit hinges on the co.--t f the production of eggs, writes H. B. Geer in Agricultural Epitomist. The keepers of pure bred poultry that Is. the fancier, who raises only fancy stock and who gets from one to five dollars a sitting for his eggs, and the same figures for bis fowls has no need to count the cost so closely in the pioduction of bis stock, as the prices obtained are sufficient to cover even extravagant outlay, and to leave a good margin of profit. Witii the marketer, however, it is quite differ ent. He must bring his bill of ex penses low in order to realize any prof it in eggs. In this connection we would suggest the free use of one of the modern inventions for the poultry yard the bone cutter; not the dry bone crusher, but the green bone cut ter, and tbe liberal use of green cut bone in feeding the laying stock. With the writer, green bones, fresb from the butcher, aio obtainable at fifty cents per one hundred pounds, aud their value as food, in the production of eggs, is worth from three to five cents a pound. In fact, in fresh cut hone we find tbe best and cheapest egg food that we can buy. There is certainly a good margin of profit in selling eggs at market prices when the hens are fed plenty of fresh cut clean bone. Of course it must not be fed exclusively, but It may, we believe, constitute one third of the feed given the hens with out any bad effects. MRS. PINKHAM TALKS ABOUT 0VABIT1& Ltttor from Mr Ouxio F.
