HELPED THE CHIEfX ftew a sVayal Zagtaear DM His Brother Great Service. - MeadvlUe, Psl, Nov. 12. (Special) The Loyalty of the Members of the . Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers Is proverbial. A circumstance occur red in this city some days ago, whlea ' emphasizes this feeling. c Frank J. Zeller. is Chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers No. 143. He is extremely popular among- his fellow railway men. and one of the best known Engineers run ning out of Meadvllle. When the an- BntiBrAmrsnt was made a. short time ago that Frank wag pretty sick, it caused a great deal of regret among the boys. Soon he was missed from his engine, having had to "lay off" oa account of his back. A brother of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi neers, who had been ill with similar symptoms, some time before, and who . had been pulled through, called to see Mr. Zeller, and in a brotherly way. took with him a box of Dodd's Kidney Pills, the Remedy which bad curea him. He advised Mr. Zeller to try them, with the result that after seven boxes had been used, he was entirely well, audible to work. In an interview Mr. Zeller states: "I had suffered for four years with this affliction, being often kept awake at .night with pains, and at times un able to work. I tried several of the advertised remedies, and found that they did me no earthly good; Finally, a member of our Order, who had been eared of Kidney Disease by Dodd's Kidney Pills -brought me a box. and asked me to try them. I had little faith la them, but as a drowning man grasps at a straw to help him. so I took the Pills. I used seven boxes, and am today as well and strong a man as there is in Pennsylvania." Naturally. Mr. Zeller feels very grateful, and his complete recovery has delighted his many friends, and none more than the good Brother, who feels that he was instrumental in saving- the life of the Chief.

From January 1 to August 1, 1900, the imports were 3,020,000 gal lons of American and 2,840,000 gallons of Russian petroleum. The reason cfer this is said to be the fact that large Russian oil fields have been acquired by Englishmen. ScrlBtare's Paris. Medal.

Perhaps, you have just returned from Paris, enthusiastic over the sights there. Here' are some of the things you didn't see: Seven great forts about the city, eight miles away from its walls. Nineteen smaller forts, four miles out, each containing three' acres and mounting 'two 95-ton guns. Great stacks of -100-pound melinite shells, ready for these guns to hurl. Twenty-one miles of continuous fortifica tions about the town earthwork walls 150 feet thick at the base and fronted by 45-foot moats. Three hundred em placements along this giant wall for as many 95-ton cannon, kept free from rust in the Champs de Mars arsenal, and ready to be swung into place at any time. So cleverly are the forts masked by long slopes of green turf, and the' walls by trees and bushes, that one can pass 'in and out of Paris a dozen times and see scarcely a trace of its famous fortifications. The range of the" 95-ton guns is over ten miles some say fourteen. Beneath their, at present, untenanted beds on the ram part are stone casemates for ammuni tion, with x small, transfer wagons. These casemates open upon the-inner base of the wall, and a set of rails, standard gauge, runs from the door way to the top' of the fortification. You must look for these rails in the grass, the general staff is so modest. Suppose war comes and the 300 guns must be mounted. Well, the stast has thought of that The rails standard gauge that lie ready for the ammuni tion wagons can be linked with the tramway system of Paris. To work these guns, were every man of the gar rison drafted away, Paris has 50,000 trained artillerymen among her re servists. She could man every gun twice over, garrison all her forts with infantry reservists, and put a dozen cavalry regiments into the field for scouting purposes. Every, reservist, whether Parisian bom.?or- provincial immigrant, has a book containing his number, particulars of his service, and a memorandum of the barrack to which he must repair upon the calling of ''the reserves. In case of war lines carefully maintained would be switch ed into use, 'and the tramway system would be in communication with the enormous goods depots of the Paris termini. Not rolling stock only, but horseflesh would be requisitioned. Ev ery horse over four years old Is regis tered, together with his type, owner, and probable utility. The general staff could choose from some 120,000 horses. The military stores of Paris are boundless. In a day she could clothe and arm 450,000 fighting men, with 70.000,000 rounds of melinite car tridges.. At the army bakeries she reserves large stores of grain. In case of siege the general staff has a 'censor ship of prices ready in the Paris muni cipality, which at all times fixes the price of bread and would do so of other staples. Paris has an invisible defense the submarine boats that patrol the Seine from Asnieres and Ivry. Boston Post. Dogs of War. The dog seems aestined to play an important part in future warfare. The German army is now provided with a large number of four-footed soldiers. Ibe greatest pains are taken to train the animal; and its usefulness was quite established at last year's man euvers near Coblenz. It is employed in three ways. Its intelligence .and keep scent are utilized for discovering wounded men. The St Bernard would naturally be chosen for Samaritan duties of this kind but the object is to choose smaller dogs, which are less likely to be shot During the man euvers 200 soldiers were ordered to fall! wounded, in different parts of a forest Five Jiundred ambulance or derlies were instructed to find them.

Brooke, com manding the department of the east at New York, which was made public at the war department recently, that a pressing necessity exists lor the reor ganization of the army on modern lines. He says: "For many years past the general officers of the army have shown the necessity for an increase which will place the army, on an efficient basis and enable it to perform its. duties with credit to itself and to the satis faction of the nation. The events since the commencement of the Spanish war have demonstrated beyond doubt the necessity for a reorganization which will enable this nation to main tain the position in which it" now finds itself placed, so that, in case of war, the army may form the bulwark be hind which the volunteer army may be created, as has always been done in our country, by organizing the peo ple." A Great Navy lard. The oldest structure in Charlestown navy yard is the long white brick building at the main entrance, the lo cation of many offices and the naval museum and library.. The next oldest is the present commandant's resi dence. The land and buildings at the yard were assessed a few years ago by the Boston assessors at nearly $7, Twelve escaped their search, but thess were all scented out by four dogs, which, on a repetition of the experi ment saved eighteen who' would otherwise have had no help. The dogs are provided with a little box full of refreshments and a packet of band ages. They are trained to' wait till the wounded man has used these, and if he is too ill to do so to run back and fetch an ambulance officer. The other services for which the dogs are trained are as sentinels and scouts, and, more important still, as ammunition-carriers between the wagons and the firing line. It appears that the German troops sent out to China took with them a number of these' faithful and. well-trained recruits. London News. The Automobile la War. A recent application to our war de partment for experiments with mili tary automobiles was answered with a prompt refusal on the ground that they appear to be the conclusion abroad, where France and Germany are experimenting with them. The question has been in the- hands of a technical commission in France since October, 1897, and eight automobiles were tested in Germany during the grand maneuvers of 1899 and the Ger man emperor has offered a prize ol 120,000 for the best military automo bile. In Italy after trial, a number of automobiles have been assigned to the army for the transportation of bag gage. Austria uses the Danier. Auto mobiles are used for army transporta tion, carrying a load of 11,000 pounds on a slope of 1 in 10 at the rate of from three to seven miles an hour. Belgium is having one of its army wagons for the transportation of sup plies transformed into an automobile. The new wagon weighs 4,400 pounds and its maxium speed is ten miles an hour. Sketch of Cea. Sicilies. General Daniel E. Sickles, most prominent of the union generals at the recent encampment in Chicago, is 73 years old. He was educated at the University of New York, located in his native city, became a printer, a lawyer, a member of the state legislature and a congressman, secretary of the United States legation at London, and a leader in the councils of Tammany Hall. That was his career before the war. When Sumter was fired on he raised the Sickles brigade, and after taking part in several battles, saw severe service before Richmond. After Antietam he was made commander of the Third army corps. At Gettysburg he lost a leg, but remained in active service un til 1865, when he was sent on a special mission to South America. The fol lowing year he was made a colonel in the regular army, from which he re tired in 1869 with the rank of major general. He has since served as Unit ed States minister to Spain, and has been prominent as a railroad mana ger. Cables for War Tldlajr A German officer, Major Wachs, has recently called attention to the wise foresight of England in laying down a network of cables over the whole world, thus making all other countries her tributaries. A statement made in 'the official bulletin of Le Progress Militaire is interesting in this connec tion. It runs as follows: "If we ex amine upon a chart the tracks of the submarine cables linking Europe with 'the far east we shall see that France remains, for much the greater part of the distance, but a tributary of Eng land, and shall hardly be astonished to find that we are the last to obtain any authentic tidings." ,It is high time we took a lesson from the experience of England in this respect, at least to the extent of providing for a Pa cific cable under our control.

Gilmore of Fredonia. Kas.. ismore" practically- familiar with the production of English blue grass, or meadow fescue, having raised it oa a larger scale, than perhaps any other man In the middle west At the re quest of Secretary F. D. Coburn he has written an account of his experi ence, which appears in a recent report of the Kansas department of agricul ture. Extracts from his article fol low: athis. grass has a two-fold value; for its seed crop and for pasturage the relative importance of each being de termined by the view and interest of the grower. The seed crop brings early cash, and It is for seed that the grass is chiefly grown in Kansas. It's heaviest yields are given in the first three or four years, which run from six to twelve bushels per acre, accord ing to soil and season. Kansas Is be lieved to produce seventy-five per cent of the seed crop of this country, and at. least ninety per cent of the total crop of the United States is sent abroad. On any lands fairly adapted for corn (in eastern Kansas) it can be advantageously grown; but on Hght, whitish soil, it does not show strong vitality nor resist extreme dry weather, 'and is brief lived. The ground should be plowed some time before seeding (as. for wheat) that it may settle, but if freshly plowed can be improved by going over it with a float The best state of tilth attainable is highly important The nearer the ground can be made like a garden, and the more even and level before drilling in or sowing the seed, the better. A majority favor drilling, but other very successful growers sow broadcast and harrow in lightly; and some fall plant, while others prefer the spring for seeding. I favor the fall, if the ground can be prepared and rains sufficiently moisten the soil by September 1 to 15, but am aware that ample moisture can be expected in the spring, and, therefore, a good stand is surer. But a fall start brings a seed crop a year sooner, and the grass gets dominant in advance of noxious vegetation. It is not easily winter killed if the fall is not unfavorable and the ground was early plowed. I do not like the hoe-drill so well as a shoe-drill, nor the eight-inch so well as the six-inch-apart drill rows, though some have used the former .with satis factory results. The quantity planted per acre varies from a peck to three pecks when pro ducing seed is the paramount object and from three pecks to a bushel and upwards when pasture alone is sought A Jialf-bushel per. acre when seed crops are the first consideration and it is drilled in, .is enough on .'rightly pre pared ground, for then every seed is covered; if showers follow harrowing in, almost every seed will sprout and take root An inch is ample depth to drill, and, if the ground surface is uni formly leveled, scarcely 'any of the seed is. put too deep.. When har rowed in, the harrow should be set to run as for millet and similar light seed. The seed should be cleaned and freed from cheat and weed seed, if possible, before planting. Fescue is ready for cutting for seed right after wheat with the self-binding harvester, and is shocked as are wheat and oats. The bundles are somewhat ragged in appearance and bulky at the butts because of the heavy blade growth, the straw of which is valuable winter feed for cattle. It Is stacked or thrashed out of the shock by the regu lar thrasher men, and the cost per bushel ranges from the wheat charge to double the same, according to the quantity. If sold, the seed Is taken. from the thrashing machine direct to the railroad, loaded in cars, in two bushel bags, and shipped. The points id favor of raising this grass in the portion of Kansas where it best thrives are several and substan tial. It is not especially risky nor ex pensive for seed and labor to get a stand; the same implements and ma chinery used for the other crops are employed in its planting and harvest ing; the seed Is a fairly profitable crop in itself with a yield near the' aver age, and at a price of from three and one-half cents to four cents per pound; the straw after thrashing (probably one-fourth of a ton per acre) leads all other straw for roughage, and stock cleans it up with avidity. Ilortlealtaral OassnnUIoas. The Roman Stem apple originated in New Jersey and is very successful along that coast and as far south as North Carolina, according to the re ports of the American Pomological Society. It also succeeds very well in all the strip of country between New Jersey and the Rocky Mountains, be ing successfully grown as far south asthe southern line of Tennessee. It is fairly successful in the New Eng land states and New York, Ohio and Michigan. Among experts the apple is regarded as of above medium ia flavor. It is a late-keeping apple. In color it is a combination of yellow, red and white. , The question of-the purity of Paris green Is coming to be of first import ance. The Paris green now on the market varies in value from full price to nothing. Many of the non-successes of spraying are directly due to the inferior quality of the Paris green used. Some of the stuff being sold for Paris green Is of no more value for spraying purposes than so much salt or land plaster. This charge is not rashly made, but is based on care ful investigations by the California and other experiment stations. It Is said that pure Paris green cannot be sold under 30 cents per pound, but that much'aow oa the market is retailing at 12 cents and under and paying a handsome profit The California ex periment station sent out Inquiries to nil the stations in the United States asking the experience of the. officials as to the Paris green sold in their respective states. Some of these re plies showed that little fault could be found, so far as the officials had learned: " On -the other hand reports from other states showed an alarming condition of affairs in this respect The report of the California station shows that in that state, three kinds of Inferior Paris green 'are sold. One of these the report designates as bogus, another as adulterated and the third as low grade. The kind styled bogus is absolutely worthless, the adulterated asarly so aad the Jow grade) may ha esTeetive if enough of It im meed. It might well be said that Bone of these are worth baying. The low grades are solsV as high grades, and the asers figure the proportions to mm ea. that Imam, with the immlt that the essays are mr teo weak to aar aoli . Every maa Interested la fruit grow ing should ha a member- of his scats hertknltaral society, as he can in that way get iaformatloa that will be. of iaestimable benefit. The dues to most af these societies are but H per year, aad many of them charge only $5 for a life membership. He will have the benefit, of the experience of all of the great fruit growers la the state and the bound volume that he annually receives win be worfch more than that to him as somethiag that he can pat oa his 'shelf and "refer -to year after -year as new causes for such reference arise. For instance, a life member ship In the State Horticultural Society of 'Illinois costs but 85 aad. the new member gets a set of volumes as far back as the society can furnish. This set of volumes alone is worth far more than the sum charged for annual mem bership, and- in addition the member gets a. volume a year without extra charge as long as he lives. The so ciety can do this because the state makes an annual appropriation for the use of the society aad its expenses are met in, that way. The fee Is charged to in some manner regulate the member ship, It being taken for granted that a man will not pay the fee unless he is really Interested in horticulture, and If he is the fee will not be a barrier to ills becoming a member.

The potato Is extensively attacked. The insect is well known in Europe and Australia. We may hear a good deal from It in this country. Its eggs are laid upon the leaves, and the minute caterpillar bores between the surfaces of the leaf, making a flat mine, often of considerable size, with a gray dis coloration visible from both sides of the leaf. Frequently there is a dis tortion when the mine occurs, near a large vein. In this country it has been observed by Professor McCarthy i tintlarna.' nyapfc at ietCaaaaa Mngat-asauied as mining in the leaves of horse net tle (Solanum-carolinense) on the mar gins of tobacco fields, and is recorded by Mr. Quaintance as mining in the leaves of tomato and in the leaves and boring into the fruit of the eggplant We have, therefore, as its food plants, potato, tobacco, horse nettle,' tomato, and eggplant Sarlae Items. A Marengo, la., correspondent writes that hogs In his .locality- are healthy and are going to market in nice shape and bringing good prices. The sea son's crop of young pigs is about ten per cent larger than last year's. In New Zealand many of the swine growers ' have combined and estab lished pork markets In-which' is sold mostly dairy fed pork. Such pork finds a ready sale, as the people prefer It to much of the other pork obtain able on the markets. On a farm with reasonably good buildings and a clover pasture the cost of a gain of a pound of live weight on a hog up to 150 pounds is not very much in excess of two cents, says an exchange. To this must be added the interest on the value o the brood sow, the cost fl her keep, the risk of acci dent the cost of the grass, etc. The Australian coasting steamer Kameruka, while going from Eden to Sydney, traveling at full speed, struck on a reef at Moruya Head. There be ing no rockets on the ship the captain tied a life-line to some pigs which formed part of the cargo, and had the animals put overboard. The pigs swam to the shore, taking the lines with them, and by establishing communica tion every soul on board was saved. Statistics embodied in a recent re port of livestock in Great Britain show a considerable decrease in the pig stocks for the year. Among the Scottish counties, Ayrshire bas the largest pig population, her numbers being 13,920 head. Aberdeenshire fol lows with 12,346 head, and is closely followed by Wigtownshire, which has 12,020 head, while Dumfriesshire comes fourth with 10,915 head. At the Dominion Experiment Station at Ottawa feeding experiments' have been undertaken with hogs to deter mine the causes of soft pork. One hundred animals 'are being experi mented with. Some are .being fed on rape and grain, some on clover and some on grain and a variety of grains is being used. Combinations Includ ing barley, clover, oats and peas are used and one lot has been turned into a' field of artichokes. Among the special features of the Pan-American exposition at Buffalo next year will be a fine swine exhibit which will be held the latttr part of September, and which It Is expected will attract a large representation of twelve different breeds of swine, In cluding the' Suffolk, Victorias an J Tamworths which arc but little known In the United States. Canadian farm ers: are better acquainted with them and will doubtless contribute exhibits. A special exhibit of hogs adapted tc j the production of bacon is promised The managers of this department ol the great show count on not less than 1.500 animals. 2few Eaaay af Tobacco.

That daughter is a precious legacy, and the responsibility for her future is largely in the hands of the mother. The mysterious change that develops the thought less girl into .the thoughtful woman should find the mother on-the watch day and night. As she cares for the physical well-being of her daughter, so will the woman bo, and her children also. When the young girl's thoughts become sluggish, when she experiences headaches, dizziness, faintness, and exhibits an abnormal disposition to sleep, pains in the bade and lower limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude, and a dislike for the society of other girls, when she is a mystery to herself and friends, then the mother should go to her aid promptly. At such a 'time the greatest aid to nature is Lyclia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound. It prepares the young system for the coming change, and is the surest reliance in this hour of trial.
