In conversation with some friends, a prominent Boston man told of his sufferings from rheumatism and ner vousness, and one of his friends gave him some advice, which will be men tioned later, and which has proven to be of incalculable value. To successfully act on this advice, it was necessary to make a trip of over 2,090 mlies, but he undertook it, and now thanks his friend for the advice, as he finds himself fully re lieved of his old trouble and has re turned to his home feeling able to cope with his business demands, a new man. The advice given was to go to "Hot Springs," South Dakota, and there take the baths and enjoy the finest cli mate of any health resort in America. If this man was satisfied after mak ing a long trip, those residing within a few hundred miles and similarly af ilicted can certainly afford to try it, or rather can't afford to neglect to try it.

Cowles, of ' San Francisco, who enlisted in the re cruit battalion in the Fourteenth in fantry, and was later invalided home, who was with Mr. Alcroft, said: "We had a rather interesting experience when we first got to Manila. The Fourteenth regiment occupied the Spanish barracks in that-town, just across the Calle Real from the Nepa huts that held the Astor battery There was no place in our barracks for our officers, who accordingly took up their quarters in a convent about a quarter of a mile down the road lead ing to Paco bridge. At that time Aguinaldo had as many men within our brigade line as we had, if not more, and one of his regiments had Its headquarters near an old market that lay across the road from the convent wherein our officers were quartered, while back of the convent lay another regiment, and between it and our oar racks was still another detachment of the Filipino army. Our guards were patrollng one side of the streets while Aguinaldo's troops were patroling the other, and there was a feeling of un rest among the men that any mo ment might see the explosion that was surely coming. It was a great relief to our regiment when Aguinaldo with drew his men from the city at Gen. Otis orders, for had hostilities began at that time it might have gone hard with officers of the Fourteenth, sur rounded as they were by the Filipino army. Alcroft's mention of his height reminds me of an amusing story 1 heard concerning Gen. Merritt's cap ture of Manila. Lieut-Col. Potter, bf the engineers, who was on the gener al's staff, is some 6 feet 7 inches In height and when the general and his staff landed from the launch Colonel Potter hurried on and entered the city alone, some hundreds of yards in ad vance of his companions. It was a courageous thing to do, and he might have been shot for his pains, but the result turned out to be only laugh able, for the Spanish soldiery, never having seen the Americans close at hand, jumped to the conclusion that the colonel's height was simply that of the rest of the army, and so the gi gantic Potter marched unscathed and unmolested through the Spanish lines until he finally reached and turned in to the Paaccio in the walled city." Joabert to the British General. Those who met Gen. Joubert when he was in this city a few years ago as the guest of Henry George recall him as a plain-faced old man with a mass of black hair streaked with gray and a full, grizzled beard. He speaks Eng lish, but bis wife, a woman premature ly aged with domestic toil, spoke noth ing save Dutch, and sat patient.though unmistakably bored at the affairs to which she and her husband were in vited. With the father and the mother was a strapping son of sixteen or thereabouts, who strongly resembled Joubert The old general told with modesty of his negotiations with the British at Majuba Hill, and his eyes sparkled as he recited his reply to the British commander-in-chief. "It does not comport with these," said the Eritish general, pointing to the decora tions on his breast, "to accede to your terms." To which said Joubert,point ing to his riflemen: "And It does not comport with those to offer any oth ers." Joubert's best story, as illus trating the perils of South African life, was concerning the loss of a some what savage but valued cook, who was bodily carried off from the kitchen by a lion. New York Sun. Anecdotes of Cen. Robert E. le. Gen. Lee was seated In the rear of a car of a railroad train going to Rich mond one day during the war wheu a poorly dressed old woman entered at one of the stations. The seats were filled with officers arid soldiers. The woman, finding no vacant seat and having none offered her, approached the end where the general sat. He immediately arose and gave her his seat. Instantly there was a general rising, each man offering his seat to the general. But he said significantly: "No, gentlemen, if there was no seat for that infirm woman there can be none for mt." The effect of bis re buke was remarkable. One after an other the officers retired from the car and soon Gen. Lee and the woman had it all to themselves. -One night some soldiers were overheard discussing the doctrine of evolution around the camp fire when a rough, honest fellow cut short the argument by saying, with great earnestness: "Well, boys, the rest of us may have developed from monkeys, but I tell you only God Al mighty could have made such a man as Marse Robert" From the Ladies' Home Journal. Officer by Brevet. New York Tribune: A. R. Johnston, of St. Louis,, has a. friend who is an officer in the army, on whom he told the following story. "My friend,", said Mr. Johnston, "had received a higher rank by brevet than the one he re ceived pay for in recognition of bis services in one of the Indian cam paigns. At the time .he was made the recipient of ' this honor he was' .sta tioned at one of the frontier posts, and decided to celebrate the occasion by a hunting trip after wild turkeys. So off he' started,'.accompanIed only' by his orderly, an Irishman,- who was thoroughly familiar with the region. An evening or two later the pair ,ran across a tree, upon a dead limb of which they made out in the moonlight a number of dark'ferms roosting. They crept up within easy gunshot and were about UTtake aim. when the or derly, began. "'But Captain'- A long Sh-h-h-h! was the only- response from that of the officer. The Orderly tried again, but this time, -drawing a "Shut up, youfool; do you want to care the birds -away?' in- an angry whisper (ram bit companion; held ith? peace. The officer, letting go both bar rels, dropped a bird with each, an was starting to reload, when he stroke to the fact that his orderly was taking no part in the game and had not fired a shot 'Here, you, don't you want to get any turkeys? Why don't you ire?' he hotly asked. Pat's chance to get even had come, and he made the moat of it as he demurely replied: 'Sure. Captain, dear, those ain't the rale thing. They're only foorkeys by bre vet They're toorkey boozards!' And so they were, as my crestfallen friend soon discovered." T. Atkins' Discipline. Tommy Atkins, more especially the Irishmen of that name, manages often to work in a little humor in conjunc tion with discipline. The Royal Innis killen Fusiliers, says the London Tele graph, were marching to their 'mus ketry camp and halted for the night at the little town of Kesh. The surgeon captain attached to the regiment for the march preferred to sleep in the hotel, 'and his tent was not pitched. Four men were told off next morning, however, according to custom, to strike the doctor's tent, but on marching to the spot where it should be they found a vacancy. "Where does the doctor stay, anyway?" asked the old soldier of the party, and he was told that the doctor had slept at the hotel. When the surgeon-captain came out of the hotel he found the old soldier and the three other men waiting outside, and asked them what they wanted. "Party to shtrike the doctor's tent," replied the old soldier, laconically. Whether the four gallant fusiliers had intended to pull down the hotel as soon as the doc tor was out of it did not transpire, for they were sent off to their company at once. Ifow Fnaston Became a General. At Santo Tomas the rebels proved to be behind strong works. It was here that Capt Albright was wounded, Lieut McTaggert killed and the little man of war was shot in the left hand. 1 hat night Funston was ordered in to Manila to have his wound properly dressed. While coming in on the train he received a telegram. There being no lights allowed in the car, he thrust the dispatch into his pocket After having his hand dressed at the quar ters he remembered the telegram and opened it It was from Gen. Otis an nouncing his promotion to a brigadier generalship. A little group of officers chatted together that evening in a con gratulatory way. As Funston rose to retire Major Metcalf said: "Good night, general." With prophetic meaning the little man of war replied: "Good night colonel." And Metcalf now commands the regiment Leslie's Weekly. Army Notes The Philippine army has twelve automatic guns, thirty-three Gatllng guns, twenty-one two-pounder moun tain guns' and twelve Sims-Dudley dynamite guns. A prize of $100 has been offered ty Dr. Louis L. Seaman for the best thesis on the following subject: "The Ideal Ration for an Army in the Tropics." The competition is open to all commissioned medical officers cf the United States army and navy. It is offered through the military service institution of the United States, and the competition will close March 1, 1900. At a recent Australian military re view the commanding officer of a large volunteer infantry regiment was un expectedly absent, and the onus of marching the men past fell upon the second in command, a heavy, stolid looking trader, who knew nothing of drill. Ere he had time to hunt up the adjutant for instructions, a gener al's A. D. C. galloped up with orders to march. "Um! Yes, of course," said the amateur warrior, gazing leisurely round. "Beautiful day, isn't it? Have a cigar?" The A. D. C. replied that he thought the general would be very angry if the regiment didn't move at once. "Of course, of course!" calmly said the fire-eater; "fine body of men, these" (waving his arm round). "Won't move off for anyone but me, you know; er try 'em." The aid smilingly told the trumpeter to sound the march, and the regiment, of course. moved off. "Good!" said the volun teer warrior, admiringly. "You can't stop 'em, though." The A. D. C. mo tioned to the trumpeter, who sounded "Halt!" and the men immediately stopped. "My!" said the ponderous of ficer, with genuine admiration. "My, sir, you're a clever man." Height of VaTM. The measurements of waves by Dr. Scoresby, which are regarded as very accurate, proved that during storms, waves in the Atlantic rarely exceed 40 feet from hollow to crest, the space between the crests being 560 feet, and their speed 32 miles an hour. More recent observations taken in the At lantic give from 44 to 48 feet as the highest measured waves; but such heights are rarely reached, and, indeed, waves exceeding 30 feet are very sel dom encountered. The monsoon waves at Kurrachee breakwater-works were found to dash over the wall to the depth of thirteen feet, or about forty feet above the main sea level. The greatest height of waves on the Brit ish coast were those observed in Wick bay so famous for the exceptionally heavy seas which roll into it being thirty-seven and one-half to forty feet. Green seas to the depth of twenty-five feet poured over the parapet of the breakwater at Intervals of from seven to ten minutes, each wave, it is esti mated, being a mass of 40,000 tons of water, and this continued for three days and three nights. During severe storms the waves used to ride above the top of Smeaton Eddystone tower; while at Bell Rock the seas, with east erly storms, envelop the tower from base to balcony, a height of 400 feet Perils of the Lose; Skirt. From the London Dally News: In the course of a public discussion on women's dress at Berlin the other day, Prof. Rubner condemned the long skirt as a frequent cause of accidents and' as a promoter of neuralgic pains, which were brought on by constantly holding up the dress. Prof. Brock mueller, the artist, while not denying the gracefulness in general of trains, pointed out that in any quick move ment the effect was the reverse of graceful, and recommended short dresses, especially at dances. Mme. Seler advocated the short skirts be cause it was unworthy of women to yield to. a fashion which made the wearer a slave to her garments, and because the short skirts made those who wore them look younger. In the end the meeting resolved by. a large majority that long walking-dresses are irreconcilable with the modern re quirements of hygiene, liberty of .move ment and beauty. 1 Sometimes it is very difficult to sea i through an Interview.

I used to think, says a writer in Com mercial Gazette, that the only right way was to let the calf draw a part of the milk from the cow. But we now prefer to feed them entirely by hand even when trying to raise an. extra good calf. The only advantages in let ting the calf suck are that it gets the cream contained in the milk, it takes it in a natural manner, and at just the right temperature. Fed in this way they 'are not so apt to get scours as when fed by hand. But we cannot afford to feed butter fat which may be substi tuted, at first with oil meal jelly, and later on with mill feed, corn meal, etc. If careful to give the milk at blood heat, and keep the stall clean and sweet, there will be little trouble from scours. Our method is about like this: For the first three or four days the calf is allowed to run with the cow. Nothing is equal to the first milk to start the stomach and bowels to work ing right and the dairy writers tell us that this fosters the feeling of motherhood in the cow and tends to increase the flow of milk. It 13 then given its first lesson in feeding by plac ing the hand in the milk with the fin ger turned upward in its mouth. In a few days it learns to eat without the fingers, and then it is a light job to feed and care for it. At first it is fed new whole milk but by the time all fever is gone from the cow's udder, it may be fed on skimmed milk. To this should be added some oil meal jelly, made by dissolving about two table spoonfuls of oil meal in hot water. This may be gradually increased to half a pound of oil meal at a feed, but this is enough up to two months old. The calf should have access to grass or some fine, sweet hay, that it may early develop the first stomach and begin chewing its cud. At two months old it will eat quite freely of various foods, and should have all the mill feed, corn meal or ground oats it will lick up clean twice a day. By this time the oil meal may be left out though it would be better to still feed a little of it. The greatest trouble with calves raised by hand is scours. This may come from various causes, but is generally brought on by sour milk, foul stalls or by feeding too much at one time and not enough at another. Whct first signs are noticed give an egg or two, beaten fine, in its milk. This will usually check it but if not a handful of wheat flour fed in the same way will be found good. The scours will easily be detected by the smell in the stall. It is almost useless to try to cure the calf and keep it healthy unless the stall is kept per fectly clean and dry. The Oak Fraaer. On this page we illustrate an insect known as the Oak Pruner. In the cut "a" is the larva, "b" the beetle, "c" pupa, "d" end of twig cut off from tree by larva, "e" reverse end containing insect, "f" same from side split to show pupa within, "g" leg of larva; these are all enlarged. The scientific name is Eliphidion. villosum. The Oak Pruner is its popu lar name, from the fact that it cuts off limbs of the oak tree principally, though it also cuts off limbs of a few other trees. It is regarded as a re markable insect and is believed to show remarkable intelligence. The egg is laid by the beetle in the twig of a tree and when it hatches the young grub starts in to tunnel down the twig through the axis. He takes a branch that is about the size of a man's finger, and works down it, feeding on the wood till he is well-grown. Then he apparently reasons that he is about to change into a pupa and then into a beetle, in which state he will not have boring apparatus that would make it possible for him to escape from the wood. He therefore begins to cut off the limb in which he is living, but cuts it just far enough so it is held by the bark till the first heavy wind. This bark not only holds the limb on the tree for a time, but keep3 woodpeckers and other birds from finding him. Af ter making the cutting to the necessary extent the worm backs into the tunnel he has made and stops up the door with some of the wood dust he had made in the operation. Then he gets ready for the transformation that is to come, and goes to sleep. When he wakes up he is a beetle. The wind has blown off the limb, and the beetle merely scrapes away the wood dust that blocks his cavern and the way is open. Keeping the Calf Healthy. The best writers Ave have ever read advise mixing the ground feed with the milk. It is not the intention to set up my own opinion in opposition to these, but some of the worst attacks of scours we ever had were brought on in this way, says a writer in an ex change. There is no mistake about this. Of course some calves are worse in this respect than others, but I have come to regard the practice with sus picion. We now feed all ground feed dry, in a rather large trough, so it is compelled to eat it slowly. Thus the saliva in abundance is mixed with the feed, and this first step in digestion is helped. The calf should never be fed sour milk, especially when young. Clabber, dishwater and buttermilk are good for the pigs but they are linger ing death to the calf. It is a mistake to allow the calf to run with the cow. After it is a few weeks old it wilL al most worry the life out of the cow. For all ordinary purposes it never pays for this kind of raising. After weaning it is too dainty. There is nothing good. enough for it to eat It pines ant! frets, loses in condition and at a year old is not much better than if properly raised by feeding on skimmed milk The calf that is well raised by hand is always ready to eat anything tha is good. There is no check in its growth from weaning. It is healthy. 3leek and saucy, and every time you teed it you have the proof before your syes that good calves can be raised by hand. In growing -the calf, or any other young animal for that matter, let ut remember that every pouad of fXin growth represents so bebcb fool. Thsra is no game of chance in any line ol stock feeding by which we may some times get something for nothing. In this ail Is .even handed Justice so much growth for so much feed aad cars but never so much growth for nothing. Gl We herewith illustrate Bermuda grass, which Is well-known by name to most of our readers. Farmers' Bulle tin 102, of the Department of Agri culture, says of it: Bermuda grass is to the South what Kentucky blue grass is to the North, and is the best hay and pasture grass for all soils that are not too wet. It is the most common grass in all of the Gulf states, and the vigor of its growth is very good indication of the quality of the soil on which it is found. Its leaves and stems are so fine and its creeping stems lie so close to the ground that it makes an excel lent lawn grass. Bermuda grass is never injured by protracted drouth, and is unhurt by the most frequent grazings and cuttings. Its root stocks are so strong and wiry that it is the best of soil binders, and is used ex tensively for protecting levees and em- bankments. It is one of the best grasses for grazing, and may well be used In the Gulf states as the founda tion for all permanent pastures. As a hay grass it is unexcelled. In favor able seasons it will give two cuttings, and on good soils its yield is from two to four tons of hay per acre. Bermuda grass is usually propagated by transplanting the roots. This may be done at almost any time except during the coldest winter months, and the work is not more expensive than the seeding of the ground in the or dinary manner. Shave off sods an inch or two in thickness, cut them in pieces about an inch square and drop on the ground about two feet apart each way, stepping on each one and crowding it into the soft ground as fast as dropped. Being expensive and unreliable, seed is seldom used. When once established, Bermuda grass is difficult to eradicate, and this is occasionally an objection to its gen eral cultivation. The best method of destroying it is to plow the ground immediately after the hay is cut, leav ing it as rough as possible. Plow again in November and sow to oats, and when that crop is harvested plow again and sow quickly of cow peas, which will smother the few plants that may have survived the oats, and will leave the land in fine condition for any future crop. Ton for ton, Ber muda grass has a feeding value fully equal to that of the best timothy, and many horsemen prefer it to any other hay. Horticultural Obserrations. Great possibilities lie in the use of the atmosphere for the regulation ol temperatures in cool storage houses. We predict that the time is not far dis tant when a new science will be devel oped along the line of low tempera ture houses in fall, winter and spring. As yet we have but begun to consider the matter, though a few attempts have been made, more or less success ful, to construct cool storage houses. With a cool atmosphere above in win ter and a cool zone below In summer there is no reason why science should not supply details sufficient to make them available. In fact, the problem is much easier of solution than might appear, so far as most of our needs are concerned, for we need not consider at all the question of keeping fruit except through the winter. If we can have an abundance of facilities for keeping our fruit well along toward spring the fruit supply will be quite generally exhausted by the natural de mands upon it. In the summer fresh fruit is always available and we do not feel the need of fruit keeping as in the winter. The orchardists that arc trying to keep fruit In their cellars this year are doubtless having a hard time of it. The ordinary cellars are so warm that the potatoes have already begun to sprout, and this temperature is even more destructive on the keeping abil ity of apples and pears. There have not been enough cool nights to affect the temperature of the cellars, except where the cellars have been handled with a particular view of reducing the temperature 'and keeping it down. It should be a settled order, as long as this kind of weather lasts, to open the cellar windows at night and close them sn the morning. There will be little danger of freezing the contents of the cellar, as most fruit can stand a tem porary cold far below the freezing point without being injured. This of course is more so in the case of the fruit and potatoes being put up in barrels or piled in large quantities in bins. A good thermometer should be kept in the cellar and another should be hung out of doors. They should he consulted before the time comss for retiring at night. A good supply of cold air may be put into the cellar every night and kept there throughout the day. The Garden-Pharmacy. The fann er's garden should be not only his larder, but his pharmacy as well. It can be made to grow his food. It may be made to grow his raediclne3 also. Perhaps it is better to say that, in growing the farmer's food, the garden may be made to produce food that shall make medicine an unnecessary thin? in his family. This may be done by growing vegetables and fruits that are distinctly health-preserving as well a3 nourishing. It is hardly possible to find a garden vegetable that is inimical to the consumer, although one person may not like or be benefited by one or another vegetable that is pleasant and beneficial to another.

There is a story from Buffalo County going the rounds that illustrates the resources of a Nebraska farm: A farm er up there from Missouri got discour aged because he didn't get rich the first year, and as there was a mortgage of $700 on his farm, wa3 about ready to jump the whole business, but deter- . mined to make one more effort and sowed eighty acres in wheat. It hap pened to be a poor year for wheat and the stand was not very good. Conclud ing that it wasn't worth harvesting he pulled up his stakes and moseyed back to Missouri, leaving the farm to fight the mortgage all by Itself. The farm was equal to the occasion. The wheat ripened, fell down and de posited the seed in the soil again. Next spring the wheat begin to grow lus tily. Some of the neighbors were hon est enoueh to" write ahmit it ilnwn tn w , au uv t'l'- H litis t3VtV ' his voluntary crop. He sold it for enough to pay off the mortgage and. the rest of his debts and had a tidy lit tle surplus over, with which he moved his family back and now declares there is no state like Nebraska.
