Like the young man in springtime, whose fancy "lightly turns to thougots of love," when summertime comes we all turn our thoughts to the consider ation of the important question of where we shall go for rest, recreation and health. There are all kinds of health and pleasure resorts throughout this broad . land of ours, some of them, unfortu nately, any thing but what their names imply, and apparently operated for no other purpose than to relieve the in valid and pleasure seeker, financial . ly.P So much so is this the case that it is indeed gratifying to the one seek ing rest Jand recuperation from the cares of the. business and social world, . as well as the pain racked invalid, who is -fortunate enough to discover a place where to 'use a popular expres sion, he "gets his money's worth." One of the most interesting, pictur esque and delightful places in this country is unquestionably the resort known as the Hagno Mud and Litbla Water Cure, located at Indiana Mine ral Springs, Indiana. Here come the overworked business man, the worn out devotee of society and the profes sional man on the verge of nervous prostration, as well as the sufferer from rheumatism, kidney and skin diseases for which the baths are es pecially beneficial. The place is also largely patroniied by those who only seek pleasure and recreation, its loca tion making it particularly adapted for tbis purpose. There are many roman tic and' beautiful spots and places of interest In the vicinity and it would be hard to find a section of country containing so many beautiful drives. The country is very hilly, but the roads are all graveled and kept in good condition. This is one of the things that makes the place especially attractive to those afflicted with rheu matism, as driving is about the only outdoor pleasure one .crippled with rheumatism can indulge in. Some of "the cures effected are really marvel ous and many who have gone to tha Magno Mud Cure as a last resort have returned home within a few weeks filled with renewed health and strength. The accommodations, service, table and attendance is all that can be de sired and the rates very reasonable indeed. The Springs is under tbe able management of Major H. L. Kramer and a postal card inquiry addressed to him will bring complete detailed information as well as a copy of the "Mudlavia Magazine," a unique and interesting publication.

The flag-ship Monongahela was an chored off the navy-yard at Pensacola Bay In 186-, and Admiral Farragut who was then in command was on board. He had been very busy the week before paying official calls on the mainland, and among those who had entertained him was General Canby. When, therefore, word was received that the general would visit the ship the next day, the admiral was deter mined to have everything ready to re ceive him in a style becoming his rank. The old boat was scrubbed and holystoned from stem to stern, the bright work was given an extra rub, and things generally were put into the best of order. Captain Heywood, now brigadier-general commandant of the marine corps, had a special inspection of his company of marines, and not a spot of rust or a dull helmet spike escaped his notice. When night closed in, darkness settled down over a very clean ship and a very tired ship's company. Bright and early the next morning the. admiral's launch was sent off to bring the general aboard. At the last moment it was discovered that there was no fruit for luncheon, and Pompey, the admiral's cook, was sent in the dingy to get some. Pom pey was a character in his way, and had been with the admiral for many years. He was very proud of what he called his military bearing, and wore his beard carefully trimmed to a point His hair and beard were nearly white, and although he was sixty years old. he ruled the other negroes with a rod of iron. By ten o'clock every one was standing by In full dress, when the quartermaster came aft and reported that the admiral's launch was return ing. The officers of the deck walked to the rail and took a squint at the boat through his glasses. A man clad in a blue uniform was seated in the admiral's cane chair in the stern, but as the gunwale struck him just below the shoulder and the awning hid his head, the officer of the deck was not certain that it was General Canby until, as the wind lifted the edge 01 the awning, he caught a glimpse of a gray beard. Word was passed that the general was coming off. The crew were beat to quarters, the marine guard paraded, and the gun squad, de tailed to fire the salute, took their stations. Everything was in readiness, and the admiral and his staff stood at the head o.f the gangway to receive the guest A hush of expectancy set tled over the ship. The boat drew nearer. Just as the launch scraped alongside, boom! boom! ! came the sa lute from the guns. "Present arms!" came the command to the guard, and at a sign from the flag officer the band struck up "Hail to the Chief." Amid all this military pomp and splendor the occupant of the launch was slowly clambering out feet foremost, and just as the last gun was fired he stood erect at the top of the gangway. Merci ful heavens! It was Pompey, with a bag of fruit in each hand! Confu sion! The honors intended for a gen eral had been rendered a negro cook! As the situation dawned on the men, even discipline could not check a gen eral shout of laughter. The old ad miral himself laughed until he could laugh no more. It seemed that in some way the dingy had gone off and left the old negro, and that he had man aged to convince the coxswain that "Marse Farragut was jes' bound to have dat fruit befo' the general came." Pompey wanted to land at the port gangway, but the coxswain Insisted that the admiral's launch never went to the portside, and that the old man would have to land on the starboard side, aft Had the awning been a lit tle higher.the mistake in identifica tion would not have occurred. As things were, no one could be blamed, and the affair was treated as a joke, while Pompey was nicknamed the "General." When an hour later. Gen eral Canby did come off. he was re ceived with all due ceremony, and on being told the story. laughed till the tears rolled down his cheeks, and de manded to see the man who had stolen his salute. Youths' Companion. In the British army a spy condemn ed for his offense to be shot is sur rounded by a detachment of infantry,' and after he has been provided with a pick and shovel he is marched off to - i- a secluded spot; there to cany ost what is perhaps the most terrible task any person 'can Jto called apoa. to per formto dig his own grave. This done, his tools are taken from him and Jils eyes bandaged for the last act of the awfoi drama. The attending chap lainnow" cosimeaces to read portions of the burial service, and from the ranks of the escort twelve mea are picked at random by the oaWer in charge. These men, having stacked their own rifles are led to -where twelve other weapons are awaiting them, six of which are loaded', with blank cartridges and the renialnder with ball, and one of these lsaaaded to each man, so that none knows whether the rile he holds Is loaded with ball or not, and none can say for certain that the shot which killed the .prisoner was fired by him. The firing party then-marches np to its appointed position. The successive commands, "Present!- "Fire!" are given, and scarcely has the last word died away before a volley rings oat and the un happy spy falls lifeless into his newly dug grave. Nearly every man is more or less affected on being selected to form one of the firing party, and many men have been known to faint right away on being singled out, while others have been so overcome with emotion that they have been scarcely able to pull the triggers of their rifles. Pea-Pleti f a Battle. What is a modern battle how doss it look and sound? Really, the field of operations is so extensive and the range of modem guns is so great that battle conditions have altered til there is no longer any general "clash of battle," or even any possibility of grasping or viewing an engagement from any single standpoint Inhere is no great resounding noise in war now adays. Tou hear one of oar big aims loosed three miles over on the right and another one two miles on the left If you are near one it makes a tre mendous noise, yet I have not heard one explosion as loud as a good, strong clap of thunder. Tou hear the guns of the enemy cough far in front of you, and their shells burst within your lines, with a nearer, louder sound but not a really great or deafening noise, by any means. Our guns cre ate almost no smoke, though our 1yd- dite shells throw np clouds of dost and smoke where they fall,' miles away. Because the Boers are using old-fashioned powder in their cannons there is a- small white cloud wherever one is fired and a spurt of red sand where their shells dig into the veldt The smoke of war, therefore, and the so-called "roar of battle" are both alike occasional, scattered, inconsid erable. The rifle firing has been the principal feature of our battles. It sounds, as I wrote once before, like the frying of fat or like the crackling and snapping of green wood in a bonfire. If you are within two miles of the front you are apt to be under fire, and then you hear the music of the bullets. Their song is like the magni fied note of a mosquito "Zzss" they go over your head; "x z s p" they finish as they bury themselves in the ground. This is a sound only to be heard when the bullets are very close. Tou kick up your heels and ran a hundred, or even fifty yards, and you hear nothing but the general crackle of riflefire In and before the trenches. The "Putt-putt" (or Vick-ers-Nordenfeldt) gun is able to inter est you at a distance of three miles. Its explosions are best described by the nickname given to the gun by one regiment "The blooming door-knocker." Its bullets or shells are as big as the bowl of a large briar-root pipe, and. they tear and slit the air with a ter rible sound, exploding when they strike. The firing of the gun was heard all over the largest of the bat tlefields, and the explosions of the shells sound a long way, because they are apt to take place on the quiet outer edge of the field. The whizz that even these missiles make in flying, however, is like the whispered answers of a maid in love only to be heard by the favored individual who is especially addressed. London Malt Baage of Field Oaae. Reviewing the work of the field guns in South Africa, the Engineer says: "The more we test it the more satisfied we become that little real effect is produced by a field gun at ranges over 6,000 yards. It Is Indeed conceivable that if we could Ignore moral effect it might pay to draw the enemy's fire at long ranges and thus waste ammunition previous to a fierce attack at real fighting ranges. Expe rience, we believe, however, teaches that this cannot be done without se rious moral loss. The impression is, produced that our guns are inferior to those of the enemy; that they can fire on us when we cannot reply and confidence in our own fire is destroyed. Confidence is, after all, the principal thing. Marmont used to say that a battle was won not by the number of men killed, but by the number of men frightened, and it has been laid down that some troops are stopped by a loss of 10 per cent, some 20 and all by about 30 per cent" There are excep tions to this rule, as experience shows. neater la Crlateaa War. Admiral Sir Erasmus Ommaney, who has just received a Greenwich Hospital pension, is eighty-six years of age, and entered the navy in 1826. He fought as a midshipman at the bat tle of Navrino, and served in Sir James Ross' expedition to the arctic in 1835. He was the first to discover traces of Sir John Franklin's expedi tion in 1850. He was in command in the White Sea in the Crimean war. and has been active in scientific asd geographical work.

TO tev - Coaata d from Farmers Review Btea earafhle Report of Wiacenata Rouad-ws-Iastltate.) N. . Becker spoke on tile drainage, la part he said: The changes la the soil caused by draining are manifold. Plants are aot so easily killed by severe frosts in winter, because the ground is left more dry and porous. It allows cultivation earlier in the spring, and all through the year after heavy rains. It causes the soil to sooner obtain a certain warmth in such a degree that on simi lar kinds of soil a location from two to three hundred miles southward would not be better. It keeps the soil more porous and mellow, because it will sever be fully saturated with water, which would cause it to bake like a brick if very dry weather fol lows heavy rains. It gives more, effect to manure and mereiore insures better crops, and a greater variety of plants and cereals may be raised on so drained lands. On my own farm the first drain was laid In 1887, and many more since that time. The first ones were laid, of course, where we thought they would be most beneficial. Every year ver since they have proved to be- so. Where in wet seasons nothing would grow but weeds, the very best crop3 have been raised ever since. On most every farm there are de pressions and little vales, where in the first days of seeding time in the spring the ground is too wet; after they are drained they are much drier in the spring than those parts that lie much higher. Marshland, with a layer of peat to a depth of three feet or more should not be drained. It the water is tapped off from such ground, hard ly anything but weeds and a poor crop of grass will grow. Keep all the water In such land but the surface should not be covered by water for s big crop of even poor marsh hay is more valuable than a small crop of hay of still poorer quality. Land with a subsoil of gravel re quires no draining, but I have seen sandy land drained to good advantage. In clay soil, black mack and such, draining proves most beneficial. In the eastern part of the county I live in (Ozaukee) the subsoil Is red clay, which is almost imperyoius to water. It finds no way out and therefore'? the ground at times Is fully saturated with water, and On such soil draining proves to be of great importance asd value. Fraaes la California. A report from San Jose says that ac cording to the best figures' obtainable, California produced last year 110.000, 000 lbs of prunes. Careful men who are engaged in the fruit business esti mate that the state will produce this year 125,000.000 lbs. There are 7.000. 000 lbs. of prunes still on hand of- last year's crop. The Cured Fruit Asso ciation is endeavoring to get control of 90 per cent of the acreage. The officers believe if this is obtained the whole surplus can be marketed at not less than 3 cents a pound. It is thought that the surplus can be placed In foreign markets at small differen tials. At the headquarters of the as soclatloa it was stated that some acre age was coming in, but the association was still much short of the necessary percentage. The Io Caterpillar.

The insect appears to be wide ly distributed being found feeding oa the sugar maples in the north and in aUeef to on, Atom tat. the south on the leaves of Indian cors. sassafras, black locust false Indigo, wild blackberry. It also feeds on leaves of the willow, currant, cotton, clover, elm, hopvine, balsam poplar, balm of Gllead, dogwood and choke cherry. The eggs are top-shaped, at tached by the smaller end, in patches of about 30, on the underside of leaves. The caterpillars In the western states begin to hatch about 'the end of June, getting their growth In two months, after moulting five times. The spines are poisonous to the fingers, and the caterpillar cannot be handled without causing some pain and irritation. A government report describes this cat erpillar as "sometimes feeding late in summer on the maple, a large green ish, thick caterpillar, with fascicles or irritant radiating, sharp spines over the body, spinning a thin silken, co coon among the leaves, and transform ing the following May or June into a targe, stout-bodied moth; the males are yellow with a very large eye-like spot is the hind wings, aad the females purple brown, the wings of the latter risaarting nearly three laches. off STaaa.

BeSale Grave. A Kansas report says: This le th common short ..grass of the uplands throughout the central and western regions of Kansas and more or leas is many parts ofeasters Kansas. The leaves are short and early, and the ege has a characteristic gray color rather common In plants adapted to " BUFFAL04IAS dry regions. The plants form a soft sod, covered by two or three inches of soft cushion-like foliage. The plant spreads by runners or prostrate stems, which creep along the ground, rooting at intervals. The seeds are produced in little hard clusters near the ground among the leaves. The plant grows readily from the seed. It cures natur ally and furnishes sustenance for stock upon the range. There is 'no doubt that at an earlier period buffalo grass extended much farther east than at present When the prairies were tramped by countless herds of buffalo, all the grasses except this and grama grass were prevented from establish ing themselves upon the uplands. Deeea't Batoe Taloo of Steera, The hardest fight made against the Grout bill ta. congress was made by the packing houses In the name of the cattle raisers ot the United States. They insisted that the forbidding of the coloring of oleomargarine to re semble butter would kill, the business and thereby destroy a market for beef fat which would cause a depreciation of from S2 to 34 per head on cattle marketed in this country. These oleo margarine people never quoted statis tics or other authorities to prove this. They simply asserted it and let it go at that Now let us look into this matter. According to the report of the Agricultural Department of the United States there were slaughtered at forty-five points under government Inspection 4,600,000 head of ' cattle during.1899. Enough were slaughtered at outside uninspected points to bring the total up to 5.000,000 head as a low sstimate. The statement of Secretary Gage of the treasury department shows that there were used in the oleomar garine produced "In this country last year 24,491,769 pounds oleo oil, which Is made from beef fat This means a fraction less than five pounds of fat from each, animal, or to be specific, 4.99 pounds. At its value the past year this fat would be worth 9 cents per pound, or 45 cents. As tallow it Is worth 6 cents per pound, or 30 cents. Sell the fat for soap (for which there is always unlimited demand) instead of for bogus butter, and it would only mean a difference of 15 cents a head for steers so small an amount as not to be appreciable, when it Is consid ered that it costs 1 or 2 cents a pound to produce the qleo oil which does not go to the farmer. This country last year produced 166,000,000 pounds of oleo oil, of which 142.000,000 were ex ported. If the oleomargarine business were dead in this country the export trade would easily take the entire amount produced. It will be seen, therefore, that the manufacture ol oleomargarine in this country Is of nc practical value whatever to the live stock interests. Hortlealtaral OBoarrattoae. Reports' from large buyers of frail are to- the effect that very few fruit men pick, pack or sort their fruit properly When fruit is to be shipped long dis tances to market it is very necessary that only the best fruit be sent as the cost of transporting poor fruit is as great as the good fruit. This becomes a leading principle when fruit is shipped across the Canadian border and has to pay duty. If It Is not first class fruit the Canadian buyers do not find a profit in the transaction, and are not likely to again seek the Americas producer. Like many other fruits, the Kleffer pear has its fast friends and its un compromising enemies. The conflicts over it remind one of those that have taken place over the Ben Davis apple. But the Kleffer is a very valuable pear for several reasons. It Is good In quality when It Is rightly handled; that to, allowed to properly ripen. 11 to a deceptive fruit and looks ripe be fore it has attained that point in its existence. It must be allowed to lie for some time after it is picked, some times for weeks, before, its flavor to developed. Then it becomes a good fruit for all purposes. e e- e The new Fruit Growers' Association of California is making an attempt to do' away with some of the obstacles that have always been in the path of the fruit producers. About ef per cent of the fruit grows in the state to un der the control of the association. All the growing, packing and selling are to be done in the most approved ways. Members are not to pack or crate their fralt The mea that do this work are experts. 11 the association holds to gether. It will doubtless compel the other fruit growers in the state to pack their fruit better, as otherwise the association would take the entire eld, at least so far as desirable mar kets are concerned.
