Exercising Queenly Authority. The National Magazine tells this story of Queen Wilhelmina: "Two of the court children were missing one day and grave fears were entertained j .as to the probability of their being kid napped. A prolonged and careful search resulted in finding no traces of them and two attendants were ar rested as suspicious characters. On further inquiry it was learned that these two children were last seen play ing with the little queen the previous clay. On questioning her as to their whereabouts, she said that they were locked up in au old cellar that could be reached from the courtyard. It seemed they refused to do her bid ding, and so exercising her preroga tive as chief executive of the kingdom, she had imprisoned thom for rebel lion." Kmployinent in tho Attic. A story is told of a woman who was left to support herself after middle life. She had no idea of how to go to work to make money, and, though never having had an oversupply of this world's goods, she had been in com fortable circumstances. She had some wealthy friends, at whose extrava gances she hal often exclaimed, say ing, ''You throw away enough for some people to live on." When she became penniless, in try ing what she could do so as to retain her independence her mind turned to this so-called waste of her friend?. She asked them if they would let her have what they threw away, feeling that this was not asking charity. So ii was agreed that as things were no longer needed they should be put up in an enormous attic, covering the house. Here this ingenious woman went twice a year, sorted the stuff all over and sold ?iud disposed of it to such good advantage that she asked help of no one, and was able to live in modest MUI au *JJ LUU V/VM?..., and*au institution has been opened iu connection with Readiug college, where they will be trained specially for the work.

Consider the younger generation, howifis growing this winter most rapidly into very advanced tailor made fashiou. With the little girls this is? most noticeable, for they are as close of skirt and as braided of body as their elders. As to the small boy. there are few articles of his father's wardrobe he does not possess in min iature. It is true, of an evening he only wears a dinner jacket, as claw hammer coattails are net yet his, but very impressive is his little bell ci owued silk hat aud the amply frocked coat in which he trots to church, to family weddings, and to such func tions as the boy under 15 is entitled to participate in. The military activ ities of the time are also, reflected in juvenile raimeut,for the knee breeches of him who still takes an interest in mumblety-peg are by choiera of a rich blue cloth and show a band of narrow black braid down the outside/of either leg. The coat is cut od. the "pattern of an officer's fatigue' jack?t, hooking up snugly from hiplihie^to chin, and this, with a dark blne^ fatigue cap, braided in black, gives a fair idea of what the approved autumn school snit should be. Straight buttoned dark blue cloth coats, with a couple of capes, are what the little mou wear over these sitits on chilly days, and to furtheremphasize the exceeding man liness of their wardrobes, the school boys, when in full dress, wear shirts that have board bosoms and- lofty stiff collars. A touch ot' gayety is lent in scarlet ve i vet waistcoats with gilt but tons that the older masculines might profit. adopt, just as some of the small dinner jackets have their lapels faced with sky blue or bright red patin; Altogether the little boy is a very pleasing object to contemplate these days, even if he is a trifle pro gressive. Gowns for tho Trousseau. If the saying is true that all the world loves a lover.it is also true that all women are interested in wedding trousseaux, no matter whether the outfit is to be for'themselves or for somebody else; aud certainly every woman who is to be married wishes, very naturall", to provide a suitable outfit for herself. It is supposed that the trousseau shall contain what is snfficieut for 'a year at least; but of late it has been rather the fashion for women not to buy gowns enough for a year, but simply to buy what is necessary for the time being, and put the money aside to buy what will bo necessary the coming season. This is vastly more sensible now that fashions change so often; and not only the fash ion in gowns, but iu materials as well. Lingerie does not chauge so every year and consequently a good stock of it eau be laid iu. Pretty underwear is something every woman likes to have, and should be well provided with. "When buying a trousseau the best plan is to find out just how much money can be afforded, and then what is necessary should be bought* first, leaving for the last.what might bo called luxuries. It is very pleasant to own two or three silk gowns, but they are not a necessity. A street gown, oh tho contrary, is a necessity, as well as one or two smart and be coming gowns for house wear, and at least one gown that is suitable to wear i at evening entertainments. Thero ?3 no greater mistake made than for young people to give up their social life as soon as they are married; for while they are sufficient to each other for a time, it is but human for them to wish for the companionship of somebody else after awhile, and then they will want to be entertained as well as to entertain. Every woman who can afford it should have a wedding gown. It need not be pf silk or satin, or any of ^be more expensive materials, but it is prettier to have it in white, aud to wear with it a veil. There are many inex2Jensive white materials that can be bought now that are extremely pretty, and the gown need not be elaborately made.-^Harper's Bazar. >"o "SnperflnowB Women." The government has published a map showing for each state in the Union the number of unmarried men and unmarried women over 20 years of age. With a peculiarly childlike faith the census officials believe they know the exact ages of all the "unattached fe males," and accordingly they are grouped in five-year periods. In that particular tho statistics are manifestly untrustworthy, but apart from that the figures are absolute. And they are very astonishing. They show definitely that the "surplus woman" is a myth. There is no sur plus of women. There is a shortage of 2. 200,000. There are in the United States 5,427,767 bachelors over 20 years of age and only 3,224,494 un married women above that age. But this is the least astonishing part of the matter. The chart shows that in absolutely every state there is au excess of bachelors over maidens. Even in Massachusetts, where tra dition fixes tho home of the "surplus woman," there are 226,084 available bachelors and only 219,255 spinsters. In Rhode Island there are 2 per cent, more bachelors than- unmarried women, in New Hampshire 9 per cent., in Connecticut 20 per cent., in New Jersey and Virginia 22 per cent., while in Idaho the excess of bachel ors over maids is 1000 per cen t., there being 16,584 unmarried men and only 1426 women. Wyomiug and Arizona closely follow, while all the far west ern states have reason to regard woman as one of the "precious met als" because of her scarcity. But tho one fact of greatest interest is that there is in the country not ono single state which has not men enough to furnish a husbaud apiece for all its Medallions, open work blocks, mo hair and other silky wool braids in applique effects are very fashionably used as a garniture for stylish cloth costumes. The chief points in the new jackets and cloaks are their length, especially at the back; tho shaped frills attached to them and the enormous medici col lars and revers. Velvet is a favorite material for this season's wear. Not only is it used for wraps, but entire costumes are com posed of it. It is of light weight, which is a great advantage. now purple or plum red tailor cloths, velvets, satin brocades and Henriettas are exceedingly artistic and beautiful, and very becoming to either a blontle or a brunette with color. Waistbands are once more in favor. Some new fall jackets are belted around the waist or have a belt at tho back. Short basques are universal and finished with a belt made of broad ribbon, of piece material or of velvet or satin. Wart Wimrtt Dying with Hin Secret. Uncle John Pate, one of the last of the race of aute-bellum negroes left in this vicinity, is dying. He belonged before the war to the Pate estate, and is now 71 years of age. Uncle John nie has always been considered oue of the characters of the town. He was a racehorse rider in his younger days, and in a moment of frankness told a white friend that he only "threw" one race in his life, and he was paid to do that. Uncle Johnnie has always been looked upon with awe b" the other colored people of the city. This is because he bears a well-established reputation as a "conjuror." It is a matter ol' local tradition that when Uncle Johnnie does a "wart talk" those unsightly protuberances fade away as the mt ig dew before the sun. Uncle Johnnie has always kept his "wart talk" a secret. He says it was transmitted to him by an ancestor.and that it has been in the family since Hain started in to colonizo Africa. He will not accept money for his services as a wart conjuror, and says that even an expression of thanks will dispel the charin. He promised to iiupa?t the wart secret to some friend before ho died and give the formula of "wart talk," so that Cloverport should al ways have a real, live "conjuror" to conjure away its warts in au hour of necessity, but, as Uncle Johnnie is de lirious and nigh unto death, the chances are that his secret will oe buried with him, and that'ho will bethe last of tho "conjurors." - Breckenridge (Ky.)

Cause of Sheep Scab. Common sheep scab is caused by a species of parasitic mites which are larger than that kind which cause Ecab on horses, cattle and other ani mals, and is a distinct variety. This parasite inhabits the- regions of the body which are most thickly covered with wool; that is, the back,the sides, the rump and the shoulders. It is the most serious in its effects upon the sheep of any of the parasitic mites, and it is the cause of the true body scab. It is generally believed . by sheep-raisers that there is ,but one kind of sheep scab,but there are three other form?, likewise caused by para sitic mites. One of these is the sar coptic scab, which is limited alraoet entirely to the head. The second is the symbiotic scab, which affects the limbs and udder, while lastly is the rare affection of the eyelid scab. These forms of ?he disease appear to be rare and of a mild nature compared with the common body scab. Foprthiff Apples to Cows. We do not wonder that there is strong prejudice against allowing cows, and especially milch cows, to eat apples. For the most part it is well grounded. While it is possible to give a mi'king cow a few dry apples without drying up her milk percep tibly, that is not the kind of apples she usually gets. If the cow is in an orchard where apples are fal^ng, she runs every time she hears one drop and eats it greedily, however wormy, sour, green and bitter it may be. All apples have some malic acid in them, even including those that we call "sweet." This malic acid,, together with the tannin that is found in the apple peel, and especi'Hy in green, small apples, contra".s the cow's stomach. If she eats much of such fruit, it gives her the colic just as surely as it does the small boy. The cow's stomach was not made to digest such stuff,and so.sure as it is put into her stomach there is riot and rebellion. Every one knows that giving vinegar to cows, and rubbing her udder with vinegar will dry her off. We believe that allowing cows to eat many apples, even if they are ripe, has a bad effect ou their milk production. -American Cultivator. Clipping Wings. Many hesitate to clip the wing on account of an almost certain disfigure ment that is likely to be the result. If care it? taken in cutting, the wings can be clipped iu such a manner that finger of the arm tnax is norning tue fowl. With the right baud take a sharp pair of shears and cut the flight fea chers, or the ones on tho outer side; cut uutil you come to the natnral div ision between the flight feathers and the secondaries. The section . that should be cut is technically known as the "primaries." If the primaries are cut as close to the flesh as possible and the operator is careful not to .cut over too far and get into the second aries, the eflect will not be noticed when the fowl is in its natural posi tion. Except, in extreme cases this will provo just as effective in restrain ing high flyers as though the wing had been practically cut eutirely away. When this is not sufficient, which is seldom the case, more clipping will be necessary.-C. P. Reynolds in Orauge Judd Former. Variety of Feed for Hogs. I know very well that pigs cannot be entirely fed on corn wirb profit until they, are finished, unless they have grass. The past 'winter. I did not remember it until I had relearned it at some expense. January 15 I weighed a bunch of July and Septem ber shoats that had been full-fed on corn from the time they begau to eat. The first week I fed 7 bushels of oats and 29 bushels corn, which produced 7 1-2 pounds of pork for each bnshel fed. The second woek 2 bushel oats and 18 bushels c mi produced 8 4-17 pounds for each bushel fed. The third week 8 28-29 pounds, the fourth and fifth weeks 6 7-8 poends. No oats were fed the fourth and fifth . weeks. I sold part of the hogs and turned other?, out on a pasture ranee, as they were not doing well. They had all the corn they would eat, but always seemed to want sometning they could not get. Their stomachs were worn out aud were in a line shape for dis ease. I weighed 18 of the thriftiest, principally barrows. The first week they ate 2 bushels oats and 9 1-2 busbols corn, several buckets full of salt and ashes and tv;o or three bushels of partly decayed apples. 1 had noticed them chase the hens for their droppings. Takiug the hint I wheeled out from the hen house several bushels which they ate ravenously. This pro duced "'S 8-11 pounds of por i for each bushel of grain fed. * This gain was so large I thought I might Lave weighed the hogs at au unfair time. The next week I made the circumstances of weighing like the previous week. The shoats showed a gain of 12 1-2 pounds for each, bushel of grain fed. Quite a .quantity of ashes, apples and droppings were given. After the hogs had eaten a part of they would return at once to corn. There aro certain elements in these feeds that aid digestion. The hogs I turned on pasture range and gave a limited amount, of com have made a great improvement.-J. B. Martin in American Agriculturist. Mn kinT tho Best of Corn Stalks. Corn-cutting time never comes around without making the writer smile at the ideas which prevailed among farmers when and where he-was a boy. The first of corn cutting was always "topping" it, so as to secure fresh and green the top part of the stalks with tbe tassel. This part-being fine and small, it was supposed could bc eatou better than the larger stalks below the ear. Then, as all the val uable part of the stalk wan supposed to ba gathered, tba ears were left to ripen ou the long.butts,and after they were hushed stock was turned ia to -'-"T pick out what they could. AB by that time frosts had cut; the leaves and ruptured the stalks, they were then of little more value than dry woody fibre, as most of their juices had dried out- Naturally enough, with only the ?upper third of the corn stalk saved aa being worth keeping, corn stalks aa food for stock were little thought of, and not considered nearly as good tts hay. All this suddenly changed wheri farmers began tho cut corn from the field for soiling cows. Though they broke off the ears of corn so as to not make the food too rich, the cow al ways seized the corn stalk, not by its butt and still less by its tip. S!?e would grasp the stalk with her tong*-**} just where the ear was broken off, draw it into her month and double ir up, tuen' chewiug vigorously both ways until the taste did not suit her, when she would bite off a part of butts and the tassel, aud let them drop ont of her mouth on the grouud or in the ,manger. * If the stalk was not turned to woody fibre at the butt, very little of the lower part of it would bo thrown out. The tassel and some part of the stalk below it would, however, always be left uueaton, thus expressing the cow's practical judgment that this was the "least valuable and least palatable ?part of the stock. . . In eating corn stalks the cow knows what is best for her. It behooves men to leam from her if they would feed her seusibly. Just at the time flint corn begins to glaze, and most of its substance is in the milky stage, the stalk is sweet and full of juices down to the root. But immediately after thia the lower part of the stalk hard ens. * That cuts off most of the sap from the root, and the sooner after this the corn is cut the better the stalks will . be. Experiments have shown, too, that if corn cutting is de layed after this there is very little, if any, gain iu the weight of grain. Tho juices in the stalk and tue carbon elaborated from the leaves continue to fill ont the grain on the car, perhaps not as well as they would bofore the corn was cut, but enormously better thau they could if the leaves or stalks had been frostbitten. The safest rule, therefore, is to cut corn any time after the surface has glazed, and especially if there seems danger that frost will scorch and brown the leaves, thus at once stoppug their further use in helping to deposit starch in the grain. "When corn has been frostbitten before cutting the leaves have their sap vessels ruptured, and this poisons the sap, ofteu causing the stalks to turn sour. Stalks thus in jured cannot be kept in any way, ex cept by cutting them and packing so closely in tho silo that they will be ex posed only to the fumes of carbonic acid gas generated by their own de composition. This is the principle of the silo, and therefore there ida slight ly sour taste to even the best-kept si l?ge, and a very decidedly sour taste to that which is put up badly.-Amer? ican Cultivator. , ] '.ir m and Garden No ton. Sunlight and pure air are potent elements in promoting health and vin-nr in horses as well as other stock.

Ho will, give them their food in ns palatable a condition as possible, though not necessarily in what may be termed a fancy style, which would be impracticable. ?fl .vat ?ivers Ari Called Upon to Do. All large vessels are now built of iron, and. in order to keep np the requisite spoe^, their bottoms need frequent cleaning;also,should tho screw become fouled or deranged, from various causes, the diver can always put it in working order. Should tho anchor become fouled with the cable-chain of another vessel, the diver can go down and free it, and so avoid the loss of the anchor. In many other cases a diver supplied with the necessary out fit may be instrumental in saving a valuable vessel and cargo by repairing leaks from collisions aud other acci dents. Onr diver may also be employed in the laying and inspection of moor ing chains, the clearing.of dock-gates aud sluice-valves, iu inspecting the foundation of bridges, removing ob-, structions in rivers, entering shafts of mines overflowed with water to clear the outlets, aud in the repairing of the pumps. Should a well-pump under water need repairing; a com peter t diver understanding this branch of engineering can accomplish tho re pairs with ns much ease as though he were on dry land. He can lay tubes and pipes for waterworks under the beds of rivers, enter into and repair gas-holders, descend into dangerous places where foul air and noxious gasses have collected, suchas the fire damp in mines or gases in old wells. Of course a man undertaking such work must not only be a good diver, but he must also understand his trade - engineei iug, masonry, rr>rpentry, well-sinking or bridge building.

REMEDY FOR HOG CHOLERA. Dukcys Used Chiefly for Preparing the Im mu?e Serum. After exparimenta extending over 'period of twenty years, and the ex penditure of many thousands of dollars Ihe ?nited States Government is at last combating successfully those most pernicious diseases, hog cholera and swine plague. The results ob tained by the Bureau of Animal In dustry of the Agricultural Depart ment, especially during the last year, have been highly satisfactory, and the scientists who have devoted so much time and labor to the work feel amply repaid' for their efforts. Thc discovery of a serum which renders hogs immune from the ravag 2s of cholera and plague is an impor tant one. It means a great de.?.l to one of the foremost American Indus . tries, and tho benefits arising from it ar? almost incrjculable. The propa gation of the serum requires the use of many animals. At the experiment station, where it is made, there are donkeys, cows, calves, ,mu'es and horses, all patiently submiting to the process of inoculation and blood drawing. Strange as it may appear, not a single hog is used in making the antitoxin lluid which is such it blessing to his family. ?logs have not been found well adapted to the pur pose for which the Government uses the other animals. Donkeys are thc favorites with the 'experimenters. The station at Betbssda, Md... eight miles from Washington, is a unique institution. On tbs well kept farm there are dozens of horses and mules that are strangers to the plow and harness. There- arc cows wose days for giving milk are over, and whose lives, in thc eyes of the scientist, are devoted to'higher objects. The ff arm is presided over by Dr. Ernest * C. Schroeder, a man who, although still young, has made a name in the scien tific world. Dr. D. E Salmon. Chief of 1he Bureau of Animal Industry, said a few days ngo: "Wc 'have used serum on 1,000 ani mals this year and have saved over 80 per cent, of those treated. While the treatment was going on observa tions wore made of 1,100 hogs in other herds not treated for the lack of serum, and 80 per cent. died. Last year the percentage of hogs saved ont of 240 treated was 7r>, while in oilier herds not treated 85 per cent, died. A Oncer Legacy.

Many persons have thpir good day and their bad day. Others are about half sick all the time. They have headache, backache, and are restless and nervous. Food does net taste good, and the digestion is poor; the skin is dry and sallow and disfigured with pimples or eruptions; sleep brings no rest and work is a burden. What is thc cause of all this? Impure blood. And the remedy? It clears out the channels through which poisons are carried from the body. When all impurities are removed from the blood nature takes right hold and completes the cure. If there is constipation, take Ayer's Pills. They awaken the drowsy action of the liver; they cure biliousness. Welto /? oap DoctaPi Wo iiavo tho csclnslvn snrvleeB of some of tho most eminent physicians in tho United Stated.
