, A gorgeous costume flashed beneath the brilliant lights
of a ball room, The queen of society is radiant to-night.
s The nerrous hands of a weak woman have toiled day
and night, the weary form and aching head have known no
rest, for the dress must be finished in time.
To that queen of society and her dressmaker we would
lay a word. One through hothouse culture, luxury and
social excitement, and the other through the toil of necessity,
may some day find their ailments a common cause.
Nervous prostration, excitability, fainting spells, dizzi
ness, sleeplessness, loss of appetite and strength, all indicate
serious trouble, which has been promoted by an over-taxed
system.
For the society queen and the dressmaker alike, there is
nothing so reliable as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound to restore strength, vigor, and happiness.
Mrs. Lizzie Anderson, 49 Union St., Salem, N, J., writes :
Dkax Mas. Piwkham : I feel it is my duty to write and tell you how
grateful I am to you for what your medicine has done for me. At one
time I suffered everything' a woman could. I had inflammation of the
ovaries, falling of the womb, and leucorrhoea. At times could not hold a
needle to sew. The first dose of your Vegetable Compound helped me so
much that I kept on using it. I have now taken six bottles and am well

The- Kaballt Theatre Francalae.
The Rebuilt Theater Francaise.
All playgoers and Americans who
knew the old will be glae to hear that
few changes have been made in its re
construction. The plan designed by
the Architect Louis toward 1870 was
too admirable to have been tampered
with, and practically no modifications
have been undergone. The Interior
aspect and arrangement of the theater,
have tlso been preserved as far as
possible. The oval-shaped vestibule
on the groud floor remains unchanged.
The grand staircase will be restored
exactly as it was, and the public foyer,
where about everybody of distinction
has been seen between the acts, has
received no desecrating transforma
tion. Its architectural design has been
regarded as a sacred trust, and to re
place the interior as it originally was
has been carried out to a dot.

Took "Slttlac" of tk Dead.
There are those who recall enter
tainingly recollections of photograph
ing the dead, says the Philadelphia
Times. With one of these the narra
tor is acquainted, and in a recent con
versation he Indulged in tales of expe
riences that are worth repeating. Said
he: "I first took pictures of the dead
on the battlefield of Antietam. It was
& warm September morning.three days
after the great fight. I had a boy with
me to assist In preparing the chemi
cals. He only worked for an hour.
With boyish curiosity he went poking
about and picked up an unexploded
shell. He was then on the bank of a
creek about half a mile off. I never
knew how it happened, but the bomb
exploded and almost blew him to
pieces. A little darky came up to
where I was waiting for the boy's re
turn and completely unnerved me by
shouting: 'Say, boss, de red-headed
semmen has done gone and blowed
hisself up wif a shell.' He was a
bright intelligent boy, and I felt his
loss keenly, but I pressed the negro
boy into service and went to work. It
would be useless to go over the scene
of that carnage again to tell of the
ghastly attersights of that awful fight
which made so many widows and. or
phans. I was nervous and excited,and
you can depend it did not tend to quiet
my nerves when I unwittingly planted
one leg of the camera stand on the
shest of a dead union drummer boy.
By some means he had been partly
buried in a patch of soft soil. Noth
ing was visible but the buttons of his
blouse and one foot A 'darkroom' was
improvised by hanging heavy army
blankets from the limbs of a low tree,
ind after taking four negatives I pack
ed up my traps and started for Phila
delphia. It was a slow and dangerous
journey, but I made it safely and be
gan printing pictures. They sold like
wildfire at 50 cents' and 1 each. I was
nearly $2,000 In pocket In less than
two weeks and determined to repeat
the program after the next big battle,
it came with Fredericksburg. My anx
iety to get a view of the field after the
retreat of the union army led to trou
ble. I was captured by three confed
erate stragglers and taken down the
Rappahannock In a row boat They
suspected me of being a spy, I sup
pose, and the photographing apparatus
merely a blind. At any rate the valu
able camera, chemicals, jars and ev
erything else were dumped into the
river. I was taken before Gen. Lee,
personally, and charged with being a
-py. No explanation availed anything.
It was not believed that I was a pho
tographer. One of Gen. Lee's staff I
think his name was Murray proposed
that I should be tested. An aid de
camp galloped off' and procured the
accessary apparatus and I photograph
ed the rebel general and his entire
staff on a day cold enough to freeze
the words in a man's mouth. The offi
cers were evidently impressed with the
idea of my innocence. A short consul
tation followed, and then Gen. Lea
himself said to me: 'Sir. it appears
that yon are simply engaged in earn
ing a livelihood, and I believe honest
ly. You are at liberty.' I was blind
folded, put back in the boat and land
ed within twenty miles of where Burn
side had his winter quarters. From
that day to this I never ftnew where I
was. Here is the picture of Lee and
his staff," and the photographer ex
hibited the faded likeness which had
probably saved his life.
"I recall an Instance." he went on,
"which is probably the most remark
able thing of the sort ever related.

cautioned me that their stepmother
was violently opposed to having her
husband's body taken from the vaalt
for such a purpose and that she daily
visited the place of sepulture to pre
vent any such attempt It was agreed
that I should engage a couple of mem
to assist in taking the body out and
another to keep watch for the widow.
We went to the vault early In the
morning to avoid the woman.who usu
ally made her visit after 12 o'clock. It
took some time to get the body prop
erly posed against the side of the vault
and then It began to drizzle., We threw
a horse blanket over the coffin and re
treated to the shelter of a tree. About
noon the sun came out and I hurried
ly prepared to secure the negative.
The camera had just been placed In
position when our sentinel came run

gate, a quarter of a mile away. It did
not take half a minute to restore the
corpse to the coffin, screw on the lid
and carry all back to the vault I
packed up my kit and with the two
men got out by another gate. Four
months after that one of the sons
came to me with a 'most remarkable
story. He said his stepmother had
lost her reason. When' the dead man's
body was taken from the vault in the
spring in the presence of the widow
she insisted on having the coffin open
ed. The corpse was found partly
turned over and the lining disarrang
ed. The widow went Into hysterics,
under the Impression that her husband
had been buried alive. The stepsons
tried to reassure her, and finally con
fessed that they had authorized the
taking up of the body to have it photo
graphed. The explanation came too
late. The woman's reason was gone."

One of the sources of expense in war
may be described as "wastage" of ma
terial. In the bombardment of Alex
andria between 7 a.m. and 4:30 p. m.,
the British fleet In a somewhat vigor
ous fashion deposited 3,165 shells upon
Egyptian soil and about 500 Egyptians
were killed. This was undoubtedly
good shooting in- view of the fact that
it took the Germans, when besieging
Mezieres in 1870. at the rate of three
and one-half shells a minute. 193,000

Is to say; 643 shells a head, and that
the Boers, in the earlier stage of the
present war, dumped 2,680 shells into
Ladysmith and only killed eight per
sons, in the Crimean ' war the total
number of combatants was 1.469,500,
and they flred 89,000,000 shots, with the
result that 51,945 soldiers were killed
in battle and 66,397 died from their
wounds; therefore, to all intents and
purposes, 118,342 bullets found a bil
let and 88,881,658 were wasted. In the
Franco-German war, where the wea
pons used were of a superior quality,
especially as regards precision, the vic
torious hosts of Germans fired off 39,
000,000 small-arm cartridges and 365,
000 rounds of artillery, with the result
that 77.000 French troops were killed
outright or died from their wound.
The wastage, therefore, on the German
side, amounted to 30,286,000 shot and
shell, and that on the side of the
French would amount to quite as
much. The ordinary man will now

wanted to join. He was questioned
with martial-like severity, winding up
with the question: "Do you drink?" As
there was a spyhon of soda and some
thing suspiciously like whisky near it,
the would-be recruit conceived the idea
that he had been invited to partake.
Nevertheless he answered the colonel's
question with a modest, "No, thank

Late In August or early In September
select a cool, moist, partially-shaded
place for the teed-bed, dig the soil
deeply, and make It as fine as possible.
Sow the seed thinly In drills, one-halt
inch deep and six to eight Inches apart
cover lightly, but firm the soil well
after, covering the seed. If the soil Is
dry It should he well-watered after the
seed Is covered, and then place a light
covering of hay or straw over the bed
until the young plants are well started;
this mulching Is not necessary If the
season Is moist at the time of sowing,
being used only to keep the soil frost
baking and comparatively cool and.
moist during a period of hot dry
weather. When the young plants are
well started push tae mulch slightly
aside from the rows, and when they
show three or four .leaves remove -It
entirely and work up the soil Into a
flne, loose condition between the rows.
Treated In this manner the young
plants will be ready for transplanting
to the beds In which they are to
.grow. If these beds are locaiea on
south side of a wall or tight fence
they will live through the winter, but
when the ground freezes up solidly they
should have the protection of a mulch
of straw or leaves spread two or three
inches thick over the bed. This not
only prevents the soil from freezing
so solidly, but also serves to prevent
the small plants from being thrown
up out of the soil by rapid alternations
of freezing and thawing. The best
plan, however, especially north of Phil
adelphia, Is to winter the young plants
in a cold frame covered with glass
sash, as they will make larger plants
and begin to flower much earlier In the
spring than the plants wintered in the
open beds. While the. regular not oea
sash is best for this purpose, any old
window sash will answer for the pur

such asoa the south side of a wall
or tight fence. Make a box of boards
of the proper size to be covered by the
sash, allowing the latter to project
slightly on alt sides;8 the front part of
the box should be about six Inches in
height and the rear twelve inches, with
sloping sides to lit the sash. Fill the
box or frame with rich soil, leaving
four inches of clear space below- the
sash at the front end, which will make
it ten inches at the back, and at the
same time slightly bank up the earth
outside the frame to insure good drain
age or protection from the heavy rains.
When the bed Is prepared set the young
plants in it eight inches apart each
way. Do not place the sash on the
frame until the nights are quite cool,
and remove it entirely on all warm.
bright days. During the winter, when
it is too cool to take the sash off en

raising the front sash a few inches.'

during severe weather. It may be left,
alone until bright clejcr weather, when
it should be cleared off and the plants
again treated to. fresh air. In severe
cold waatherthe frame may have the
additional protection 3f' old carpets or
other covering placed over the glass at
night Cared for in this manner the
plants should begin blooming quite
early in the winter, and when the trees
start out in bud the covering may be
left off entirely, or the plants taken up
and planted in the flower bed and the
frame used for starting fresh young
plants, from seed. When these young
plants start-blossoming in the frames,
some of them may be taken up and
planted in pots or boxes for flowering
in a cool room in the house, where they J
will bloom nicely if kept cool, not too
wet, and supplied with an abundance
of fresh air as frequently as possible.
Hew a Herd Is Built Vp.
Prof. F. E. Emery, of the North
Carolina Agricultural college, thus
tells how a herd of milkers was built
up. The work is based on record keep
ing. He says:
When this record began In 1891, the
experiment station had four cows In
its stable, one a registered Jersey, one
unregistered and one grade, the fourth
belonged to the Agricultural and Me
chanical college. The registered cow
was stripping and the unregistered one
had been milking about three months,
having come in milk prematurely by
an injury which resulted in permanent
lameness. This reference Is also the
one by which may be found the method
of making the record. It Is simple
and easy. The wonder is any farmer
will keep a cow and feed and care for
her by the year without knowing
whether it pays, when by simply keep
ing a record he would be sure, and
where several cows are kept this would
point out the profitable cows.
How much milk should a cow give In
order to be classed as a profit maker?
Evidently the amount depends on the
cost of feed and value of milk. A
number of years ago the New York
state dairy commissioner estimated
from a large mass of data which came
to his office that the average yield
from New York cdws was not above
3,000 pounds. The United States cen
sus figures show that North Carolina
cows produced 2136.5 pounds of milk
each in 1879 and New York cows 3987.6
pounds. Later statistics gathered in
New York show a gain for New York
cows:
The first year's record here showed
that of seven cows kept and milked
long enough to publish their records
four yielded above 3000 and one of
these about 4,000 pounds of milk dur
ing that year, 1891.
. In 1892 3,000 for a grade and 4,000
for a pure but unregistered Jersey
were the highest yields and neither of
these was in the list above 3,000
pounds in 1891. Late In this year a
heifer began to yield milk which has
developed into the deepest milker of
the herd.
In 1893 there were eight cows yield
ing above 3,000 pounds, and only one
of these to reach that limit in previous
years was of the list and she barely
In It Of the other seven one yielded
nearly and two above 4,000 pounds, one
5,213 pounds and another. No. 5, the
second highest yielding cow, reach 6.
607 pounds.
In this year's record nine cows out
of eleven yielded above 3.300 pounds
and one of these other two was a
heifer which was in milk only two
months, but yielded 1,166 pounds in
that time. Five records were close to
4.000 pounds, one 4.506, one 5,186 and
one as high as 6.175.2. The ten cows
averaged 4.102.5 pounds, and their but
ter yield averaged 246.7 pounds.
la 1895 the heifer Spot and cow No.

the esdy oass of foarteea oa

ISM, MM aad 13.4 pounds of hat
ter; ar. at World's Fair rate of St per
eeat .fat. the yields were 253.7, 339.C
aad 216.1 pounds, while the Jersey,
Dora McKee, with a yield of 3204.4
pounds of milk, was credited with
238.9 or ISO pounds of butter.
It would seem from this that this
herd was eatltled to place an easy
standard at ISM pounds of milk and
308 pounds of hatter per cow per year.
If tea moaths are allowed as the
proper length of lactation In- every
year thea each cow to reach the stand
ard mast average twenty pounds of
milk aad one pound of butter daily
for this time, 300 days. The yield
should be double these amounts at
their highest point and be held for
longer or shorter time accordingly.
During the year 1897 the more val
uable cows of this herd were con
demned because of spread of tubercu
losis which was also found in many
of the heifers from these cows. In
1897 and 1898 the following records
were made.
The highest yields per day previous
to 1890 was 36.3 pounds, by Daisy E.
and 35.9 by Spot
- The highest yield per day has now
been 38.454 pounds, by May, Short
horn. The highest yields per month have
been by. Daisy E, 10006 pounds, and
May, 1,026.4 pounds. The cow that
yields two gallons of milk per day for
tea months will exceed 5,200 pounds,
and she should yield nearly four gal
lons per day when fresh. The highest

Swlate Pasture Peaces.
The director of the Montana Exper
iment station says: To profitably pro
duce pork the farmer must pasture
swine, both old and young. This ne
cessitates a pig-tight pasture fence.
Of materials employed for fence con
struction lumber is parhaps the.best
However, it is expensive In its first
cost and subsequent maintenance, and
its tendency to collect snowdrifts
makes it objectionable. Wire fences
are cheaper and more durable. We
have tried swine fences built of thick
set barb wire, wire three inches apart.
tightly stretched, stapled to posts 16
feet apart with stakes between posts;
four feet apart It would seem that:
such a fence would turn the pigs, but
it did not The cuts and scratches
caused by the wires heal rapidly on
swine, and the little fellows would
wriggle through. Indifferent to the
barbs. Later we have used a fence
made of smooth wire, three different'
numbers, woven into a close mesh
fence.
On the college farm at Ames, Iowa,
oats and barley are grown together
for the use of the cows. Last year the
yield was reported at 70 bushels per
acre. There are so many other feeds
that are used In the dairy that the
Americans have never given barley
much attention.
Iavestisstlag Forest Fires.
Investigation of the causes, effects,
and means of prevention of forest fires
in the west Is being carried on this
summer in Washington, Oregon, Cali
fornia, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah,
Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho,
South Dakota. Besides fieldstudy, de
signed chiefly to discover means of
preventing the evil, the division is
making a historic record of all impor
tant fires which have occurred in the
United States since 1754. Although yet
incomplete, this indicates that the an
nual recorded loss by forest burnings
in the United States is. at the verj
lowest, 120,000,000. It will probably
run far above this sum, as the Pacific
coast states have been only partially
examined. Accounts of over 5,500 dis
astrous fires have -been obtained in the
seventeen states already examined.
Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin
have suffered the most severely. These
records are taken chiefly from news
papers, and where it has been possible
to compare them with the figures of
practical lumbermen, it has been found
that the tendency of the press is to
underestimate the damage.
