a aew poagee coat I bad bought la
aa Jaaa lata aa old rag. I 4mad
myself on a high range of atom, aays
the Century. From a jibaro aegrass
I learned that I was half-way between
taa towas of Quemados aad Jaaaas,
aad that I would "flad a better trail
for my hone below. So I rasa dawa
a lovely greea valley, where plaata
ttoaa of coffee aad tobacco lay aide
by side. As It grew darker bats lew
an about ate aad I beard the even
ing cries of birds which sounded like
our whippoorwllls aad mocking birds.
At last I attack' the trail that the
womaa had BMntloaed. I rode ea a
little way, aad took the horse late a
clearing, where there was a spriag
well alddea from view, aad there I
hobbled his feet to the halter rope.
Unag myself oa the grouad aad went
fast asleep. The last taiak I heard
was the beautiful seag of the aoll
talre siaglag ia a copse above me. I
was awakeaed early the next moralag
by the screeching of the green par
rots, fuarrellng with other birds la
the top of a coceaaut-palm. I was
drenched with dew. but forgot all as
i thought of my horse. To my great
relief. I found him standing behind a
bit of oleander bush red with towers,
crunching the Juicy stalk of a prickly
pear. I watched him with latere as
he took the stalk and with his teeth
ripped off the skin with all ita thoraa,
He whinnied as if we were old frleada.
After brldliag and watering aha I
found the trail aad rode off southward.
On the way I at everythiag I could
tnd. from greea cherries aad gaava
plums to juicy mangoes, which stala
ed the front of my coat, and bell ap
ples, the meat of which suggested
mildew. There were slso custard ap
ples, a large green fruit not unlike
cream puffs laaide. The most aston
ishing aad the best of all was a frott
called pulmo in our language, eear
sap. It is about as large as a aaart

a afagle fruit was enough for a good

that they are also relished by degs.

Of thirst. If water was aot haady I

aad throw dowa the greea nuts, which
were filled with an abundance of
watery milk, more than I could driak

plenty, but many were more curious

says the Memphis Scimitar, in the
life of Queen Mary Miss Strickland
reproduces a wonderful state docu
ment. In which her majesty grants
special permission to one of her coun
cilors to wear a night cap in her pres
ence. This royal concession Is made,
presumably as a reward for valuable
services rendered. The earl of-Sussex
was the nobleman thus honored. The
earl was a valetudinarian and had a
great fear of uncovering his head.
Considering, therefore, that the colds
be dreaded respected no persons, he
petitioned Queen Mary for leave to
wear a cap In her presence. The queen
not only gave him leave to wear one.
but two alghtcaps If he pleased. His
patent for this privilege is unique In
royal annals: "Know ye that we do
grant to our well-beloved and trusty
cousin and councillor, Henry, earl of
Sussex, license and pardon to wear his

them at his pleasure, as well in eur

Maj. Lamar Fontaine- is probably
one of the most Interesting veterans
of the Confederacy. He is the only
representative of Camp Sam Cammack
of Koohoma county, Mississippi.
Maj. Fontaine has been a soldier
nearly all his life, and the story of his
adventures in all parts of the world
sounds like Action.
He served in the Russian army dur
ing the Crimean war. and at the siege
of Sebastopol was decorated by Czar
Nicholas with the iron cross of honor
for daring bravery during the battle.
At the time o fthe memorable charge
of the Light Brigade at Balaklava
Maj. Fontaine was sixteen miles away,
but could hear the guns and see the
smoke of that 'famous battle.
After leavlag the Russian army he
traveled about the world in company
with aa upele. but was living in the
South at the opening of the civil war.
and enlisted as a private in the Tenth
Mississippi Riles, but was later trans
ferred to Company K, Eighteenth Mis
sissippi regiment. While a member of
this regiment, in August. 18C1, He
wrote the well-kncwn poem. "All
Quiet Along the Potomac," which has
since beea- widely copied all over the
world.
He began his war work with the
Confederate army as scout and courier
for Gen. Stonewall Jarkson. He serv
ed In the same company with Gens.
Stewart aad Johnson and briely with
flea. Lee. He took part in twenty
seven pitched battles, flfty-seven skir
mishes aad over a hoadred individual
skirmishes ia which blood was shed.
Although he was but a private in tae
ranks, he was atone time entrusted
with a carteblaache order on the treas
ury of the Confederate states. He was
kaowa in all branches of the Confed
erate service as the best marksman
with rifle or revolver in either army.
He was wounded sixty-seven times,
and thirteen times "his lungs wsre
pierced. Five times in the course of
the war he was reported dead. On
two occasioas he was able with the aid
of mirrors to look iato apertures In
his leak aad watch the besting of his
aava heart'

First Waa to Eater libby.
The town of Holyoke, Mass.,lncludes
among her citizens an interesting vet
eran of the civil war in the person cf
Philander A. Streetcr, who was the
first man to enter Libby prison at
Richmond. Mr. Streeter, a Vermonter
by birth, was mustered into Company
C, Second Vermont Volunteers, in
June, 186L He was captured after Che
first battle of Bull Run, through stop
ping to carry a wounded comrade from
the field. He and some other prison
ers were taken to Manassas Junction,
and shipped thence to Richmond, being
the first consignment of hated "Tanks"
to enter Libby. Streeter says that the
treatment they received from their
captors was about what might be ex
pected, but that the people of Rich
mond, particularly the women, were
abusive in the extreme. On arriving
there they were lined up, the Ver
monter in the lead, and marched Into
the grim and dingy old place, which
later was the scene of so much suffer
ing. After being In Libby Ave months
and fourteen days he was exchanged.
Having meanwmie been reduced In
weight from 165 to an even 100 pounds.
While In the prison he carved from
the ones that accompanied their
soups various little rings and other
knickknacks, which he still keeps,
along with the last ration of hard
tack which was served out at the
prison. This is still aa fresh looking
as ever and undoubtedly just as dry
and tasteless. He also has a large
collection of personal relics the coat,
cartridge box, blouse, cap cover, etc,
that he wore while In the war. After
a furlough, in which he recovered his
health in some measure, he again
went to the front, and with his com
pany saw hard service In the second
battle of Bull Run, In the battles of
tne wilderness, and before Richmond.
To a eoatlaeatal sylvlculturist whe
has aot had aa opportunity of seeing
what the resources of the country real
ly are In respect to timber-growing, it
might appear, from an examination of
the agricultural returns, that Britain
waa very 111 adapted for the purpose.
When our woodland area of some
thing like 3,000,000 acres Is compared
with those' of some of the principal
timber-producing countries of Europe,
it becomes dwarfed almost into Inslg-
niBcance; and when It Is taken Into
account that a very considerable pro
portloa of this area consists of land
occupied by ornamental and other
plantations, of various kinds for amen
ity, which would not be classed aa tim
ber land according to continental Ideas,
nnd of large tracts which practically
carry no crop of any kind, aa in some
parts of the New Forest in Hampshire.
the area actually under what might be
brought under the head of timber land
proper Is aery small one Indeed. The
whole woodland area amounts to less
than one-twenty-flfth of that of the
whole country (including land and
water), and'of this little more than one-
thirtieth is owned by the state. When
we turn to some of the principal timber-producing
countries of the conti
nent, we are confronted with a very
different state of affairs. Russia prop
er has over one-third of its whole area
under timber, fully one-half of which
In owned by the state; Sweden has
about one-half, of which one-third is
owned by the state; Norway about one
fourth, of which one-eighth Is owned
by the state; Germany fully one-
fourth, of which one-third Is owned
by the state, and a considerable por
tion by communes; Austria about one
third, of which one-tenth Is owned by
the state; and France about one-fifth,
of which one-tenth is owned by the
State. Looking more particularly at
the German area, which is undoubtedly
the most skilfully managed of all. we
And that, from the 34 million acres of
land under timber, there is an annual
out-turn of timber amounting to the
value of from 20.000.000 to 22,500.
000, without in any way encroaching on
the capital or growing stock, while the
expenses of management amount to a
little over 4.000,000. But what Is of
as great Importance Is the fact that
employment la afforded to nearly 600,
000 people, representing, it is estimat

In an old diary bearing the date of
1775, several pages are devoted to cash
accounts. On one of these is a quaint
ly worded statement, duly witnessed
and dated. The spelling is not partic
ularly commendable, but spelling was
an uncertain art in those days, snd
even now is a gift denied to some.

RECENT INVENTIONS.
An improved milk pail used in Ger
many has a closed cover, which may
be used as a seat by the milkman, the
milk entering the pail through a spout
with an enlarged mouth, which carries
a textile strainer entirely covering the
opening.
A handy vegetable slicer is formed
of a series of knives set in the bottom
of a central opening in a standard,
with a slotted head hung on a lever
above to fit over the knives and force
tee vegetables through the cutters Into
a receptacle below.
Live minnows for bait can be at
tached to a hook with little Injury by
a new holder, consisting of a single
piece of wire bent to form an eyelet
in the center, with the ends pointed
toward each other, to be inserted in
the sides of the fish.
Racks for holding packages in rail
road cars are made adjustable by a
Texas man's device In which the rack
Is mounted on cords suspended from
pulleys in the top of the car, wltB
weights at the other ends of the ropes
to balance the rack3 at any height
In a newly patented variable speed
driving gear for bicycles two sprocket
wheels of different diameter are
mounted on the crank shaft to drive
chains on both sides of the rear wheel,
a clutch mechanism automatically en
gaging one wheel as it releases the
other.
Fruit can be shaken from the trees
without bruising by using a newly pat
ented gatherer, which is formed of a
canvas sheet suspended on stilts
around the tree, with one corner lower
than the rest of the apron to allow the
fruit to roll into a receptacle as it falls
from the tree.
Words can be automatically counted
on a typewriter by a simple device
which has a number of dials set in a
frame with a lever at one end to reach
under the end of the space bar as the
counter rests on the table to operate
the mechanism which moves the indi
cator on the dial.
The depth of water under a ship can
be quickly ascertained by a new sound
ing apparatus consisting of a casing
suspended from a sliding ball, which
Is attached to the end of a cord or wire
running to the deck, the weight of the
casing breaking the electric current
until it strikes bottom.
An Invisible support for bicycles Is
being placed on the market, a piece of
stiff wire being beat double aad lasert
ed through a slot in one aide of the
tube which carries the saddle post, aa
other slot being cut on the opposite
side of the tube and the ends of the
support being pulled dowa thnraah the
slots for use.
I4aae Water aa a Dislafeetaat.
The value of lime water as a puri
fier, a disinfectant and a germicide is
not generally known, says R. Crowe,
assistant dairy expert In Victoria, Aus
tralia. Ita adaptability for use in dai
rying puces Is fsr ahead of other
things on, that line. The ehief points
of advantage are in cheapness, ease
of application, efficiency and harm
lessness; for it is not poisonous, as
many disinfectants are. No remedy Is
known that will permanently sweeten
a badly contaminated churn which
should be destroyed. To prevent a
churn from going off, it should be
filled periodically, say once a week,
right up to the top with lime water
and let it stand over night This wa
ter may be used again to wash walls,
floors, etc
To make lime water put in a quan
tity of slacked lime in a tank or bar
rel. Fill up with water, then stir well.
After settling the water will be clear,
with a scum (carbonate of lime) on
the surface. Use the clear water with
out disturbing the lime in the bottom.
When emptied All up again with water
and stir, then leave to settle and so
on. The quantity of lime may serve
for many fillings of the vessel with
water. As long as the carbonate of
lime appears on the surface after set
tling it may be considered of sufficient
strength. Every factory should have
a tank in a high position with taps
laid on to places required. Lime wa
ter should be used by all milk sup
pliers to rinse buckets and milk cans
after cleaning. The cause of milk
turning sour In cans quickly is often
on account of the bacterial starter left
in the vessels used. A simple experi
ment will demonstrate this to be true.
Rinse one can, after cleaning, with
lime water, and after leaving the cover
on for some time compare with an
other which has not been rinsed with
lime water, leaving the cover on this
also. Again, if we take two cans, one
cleaned in the former way and one
In the latter, it will be found that milk
will keep much better in the one treat,
ed with lime than in the other.

The Inventive Age. published at

in its issue of October 15. 1898:
"The condition of business in the

A Good Food for Chicks.
We have had splendid success on the
editor's poultry farm this spring feed
ing a new chick food in the form of
what might be called Johnny cake,
says Reliable Poultry Journal. The
man In charge of the young chicks
takes cracked corn as It comes from
the commission man. sifts it through
a sieve made of ordinary wire screen,
such ms Is used for windows sad doors,
and uses the coarse and fine corn meal
that passes through this sieve, mixing
It into a stiff dough with sour milk,
enough baking soda being added to
counteract the sour milk, and the
whole mass being salted to taste snd
then baked aa brown as Johnny cake
in an ordinary oven. The chicks are
very partial to it, aad have done bet
ter on it than during any previous
year, despite the fact that the weather
with us 'has been changeable, with aa
uausual amount of rain accompanied
by chilly wIbss. We have little or no
bewel complaint among the chicks, and
from the first they have beea plump,
active and good eaters. Last year and
the year before we fed suite a good
deal of oat meal aad millet seed, but
eur chicks did aot do as well ss they
are doing this year.

Some time ago Pullman's Palace Car
company built three parlor cars for
the B. A O.'s New York trains, and the
radical departure from other cars of
this character lay in the toilet room
for ladies, which was eight feet in
length. Recently the same company
has built eight new sleepers for the
New York-St Louis line of the B. & O.,
and the designer of the cars has evi
dently been impelled by the popular
ity of the ladles' retiring room In the
parlor cars to give to the ladies a vast
deal more space thaa they ever had be
fore in sleeping cars. These new cars
are said by the Pullman people to be
the finest thev ever turned out, ana
the ladles' retiring room is exceeding
ly commodious, and contains, besides
other toilet necessities, a dresser with
a long pier glass. The cars are fin
ished in vermillion wood, decorated
with inlaid marquetry work, and the
upholstery on the backs and seats is
entirely new and different from any
heretofore used, being a sort of a m'o
quette with a dark green border and a
center pattern of bright color. A sim
ilar design of ornamentation lias been
applied to the ceiling, giving the car
an arabesque effect They are also
supplied with all the modern appli
ances, such as wide vestibules, anti
teiescoping device, air pressure water
system and are lighted with Pintsch
gas. A very pleasing effect is obtained
by the oval windows of opalescent
glass, the first that has beea used in
the construction of the sleeping cars.
