A large, good natured man was greatly attracted to a little girl in the dining room of an up-town hotel the other day. She was about two and a half years old, was beginning to run about and talk a good deal, and also appeared, to be at home in the hotel. After smiling at him across the din ing room and making friends with him at a distance he accosted her in the hall. He asked her the regulation questions put by strangers *o children, all of which she answered as promptly as her baby fashion would permit. Finally the man shook hands with her and said: "You are a nice little girl. Shall I bring you a box of candy to-morrow?" The little one looked puzzled a mo ment, then spoke up brightly: st "No; 'oo better doe det it nowl* / \ She got the candy that evening. / i Miss Alice M.

If dairymen would depend upon rais ing their dairy animals themselves, the result would be much more satisfac tory, as a rule; than to buy from stock men or speculators in a haphazard way any "pickups" that are offered. In order to.begin right, calves should be selected whose grandams on both sides had a,good record at the pail or churn; then there will be a reasonable hope that the calf will evolve into a profitable cow. If they are in the dairy business for milk, then the attention is drawn to ward the animal which will turn her food and energies into furnishing an abundance ot milk; but if the aim be cream or butter we do not care wheth er the amount of milk be. large or small, so it yields a proper amount of butter fat. But if the dairyman deems the rear ing of calves only a "side issue," and as a result gives only indifferent treat ment, he might just as well buy his own cows; for a stunted calf is a piti able object, and will never fulfill its destiny, no matter what its after treat ment may be. Extravagance iu the feeding of the calf is pardonable - parsimoniousness, never. Extravagant feeding-it would bz so called by many-means fresh milk from the cow or new milk for at least three weeks after the birth of the calf; and the calf that is not worth what new milk it can consume during the first few weeks of its life Is not worth the rearing. Let me emphasize that the first weeks of the calf's exis tence determines its value later on. Dairy Farmer. FATTENING CHICKENS IN COOPS. Although the cramming machine in the hands of an expert will probably give the best results in finished product, small coops for fattening chickens will be found the most profitable by most chicken raisers. These coops are ussd very largely in England and have been adopted successfully by the Canadian Government. The accompanying il lustration shows a coop divided into three parts, which will bold a dozen, chickens. These coops are built of lathe and one inch square pieces for the framework. Bach part is two feet long, sixteen incnes wide and twenty inches high, which experiments have shown to be the best size. / The coops are placed' out of doors In the sLade, either under trees,or in an open shed, but in severe weather should be placed in a closed building. A small V-shaped trougjy is used to hold the feed, and waterPis supplied in a cup, which may be, fastened to the slats. Young chickens from four to six months pf ag?f are commonly used for fattening. About four are placed in a coop, w/here they are fed three, times daily, as much as they v'll c-.t o.( ground grain, chiefly oais. Al or near the end of the period of fattening, which lasts from four to six weeks, a COOP yoa FATTENING CHICKENS. little tallow is added to the feed, which at all times ls mixed with skim milk. In a trial with 100 chickens, Profes sor James W. Robinson, of Canada, found that they almost doubled in weight in thirty-six days of feeding. For every pound of increase in live weight they consumed 5.44 pounds ground oats and C.43 pounds skim milk. At $1 per 100 pounds for ground oats and twenty cents per 100 pounds of skimmilk, the cost was nearly six and three-quarter cents per pound gain for feed only. While the increase in weight was nearly 100 per cent,, this gain was mostly of flesh. Three chickens dressed before fattening weighed, with feath ers off, eight pounds and eight ounces. After this period of fattening, three chickens, of the same quality at the start, weighed, with feathers off, six teen pounds four ounces, their bones one pound eleven ounces, and the edible meat seven pounds six ounces. Not only was there a gain of about 200 per cent in edible meat, but it was of much better quality. If all fowls, when fat tened for the market, are confined for a month in coops of this kind and fed in a similar manner, they will return a much higher price and greater profit. FARM NOTES. Paint all the buildings and tools, and thus keep out the moisture and double the life of the woodwork. When you get a new brush hold it with the hair end up and the handle down, spread out the bristles and pour in a spoonful of good varnish, allowing it to become dry. This has a tendency to prevent the brush shedding its bris tles when it is used, and also keeps it from shrinking and falling to. pieces. A cheap and durable paint is made of Venetian red, linseed oil and lacquer. Lacquer is a liquid drier, and ls used for the purpose of not only making a better paint, but for causing the paint to dry more readily. The more lacquer put into paint the sooner it will dry. As soon as you are through painting, wipe the brush clean, and wrap it in a piece of paper. Then hang it in a small, deep vessel containing linseed oil. In this way it will keep clean and always ready for use. It is a mistake to keep brushes in water, ns it will not preserve them so well as in oil. and does not keep them soft and pliable. Farra Journal. The Bread We Eat. The question of the relative nutritive value of different kinds of bread is dis cussed, from the scientific point of view, in an article in the current Har per's Weekly by Harry Snyder, chem ist of the United States Agricultural Experiment Station of the University of Minnesota. Some recent tilals made by the Department of Agriculture have shown some interesting results, says Mr. Snyder. A number of men in sound health-worSdng men, students, athletes, thin and fat men-were chosen as subjects. In one set of tests the men were fed for several days on graham bread and milk, then white bread was substituted for the graham. The conclusion reached was that the graham flour contained the highest and the patent flour the lowest percentage if total protein (glutinous matter), but that the proportions of digestible pro tein and available energy in the patent apur were larger than in either the en? i tire wheat or the' graham flour. On the whole, the question seems to be sett lid in- favor r* white bread. ?J .?, I MONUMENT TO GORDON, General Lee /lakes Suggestions Con cerning the flatter. Columbus, Miss., Special.-General Stephen D. Lee, commander-in-chief of the United Confederate Veterans, has issued an unofficial call to every Confederate organization to take im mediate action and organize to secure subscription for a monument to be erected to the late John B. Gordon at Atlanta. The call is in the nature of an appeal. The following is the cir cular: 1. The great demonstration of warm love and confidence shown at the bur ial of General John B. Gordon at At lanta, Ga., and the abundant evidence of esteem manifested everywhere in our beloved Southland and also throughout our great- republic, sug gests to the undersigned some concen tration of action necessary to a quick and successful movement to erect a monument out of such funds as may be raised this year. 2. While as commander-in-chief of the Confederate Veterans' organiza tion I do not think it proper to issue in general orders an appeal, still as the successor of ouf beloved comman der and his personal friend and ad mirer, I issue this call to every Con federate organization, to divisions, brigades and camps of the United; Con federate Associations; to the Ladies' Memorial Associations and Daugh ters, Sons and Children of the Con federacy, to take immediate action and organize to secure ^monument move ment. . 3. I also suggest to States, - cities and organizations generally to unit? with us in'building a monuments 4. I also suggest that a loca^com mittee be promptly formed alf'Atlanta to receive subscriptions fqr4he monu ment at the home of General Gordon. (Signed) STEPHEN D. LEE. 7 Postal Trials. Washington, Special.-In the postal trial the government introduced fur ther evidence tending to show the relations > existing between Machen, Groff brothers and the Lorenzs, in connection with the sale of letter-box fasteners to the government. Several witnesses from Cleveland and Toledo having connection with bank institu tions testified to various deposits by the Lorenzs of checks of D. B. Groff for large amounts and to certain debts made against their individual ac counts. N. H. Baumgartner, Mach en's brother-in-law, secretary of the Deposit Truut Company, Westminister, Md., also testified as to Machen's de posits with that company. A consid erable portion of the day was taken up by arguments by counsel on both sides concerning the materiality and admissibility of certain evidence of fered. The Subject of the coaching of witnesses by Postoffice Inspector May er again came up, during the discus sion of which Mr. Douglas, for the de fense, said he also would include Postoffice ' Inspector Gregory in the charge. The matter was finally passed over, upon the statement of Mr. Kum 1er counsel for the Lorenzs, that he would procure affldavitc to cupport the charge. He offered to produce one such affidavit today, but District At torney Beach objected to this form of evidence. Making Great Exertions. Washington, Special.-Minister Con ger ?as informed the State Depart ment that the Chinese government has appointed Prince Pulun as exposition commissioner to the Louisiana Pur chase Exposition. The minister says that the Chinese government is mak ing exceptional efforts to have a cred itable display at the exposition, and the appointment of Prince Pulun is a striking evidence of that fact, as he is a member of the royal family. Negroes Terrorized. Stephens, Ala., Special.--Negroes living near Bigbee, Washington county, are terrorized by actions attributed to a self-styled Dalton gang. Several months ago a turpentine still and saw mill were burned and negroes were suspected. The children of' Daniel Grimes, a negro, were fired on from the bushes last week. The same night Grimes' house was fired into. A notice was served on him to leave within five days on penalty of death.

There is fear on the part of those on the ground that unless 6ome decisive steps are taken during the winter there will be another poli tical outbreak In the spring. v FAMOUS MAN DEAD George Francis Train Dies After a Varied Life BE ACCOMPLISHED MANY THINGS Starting in an Humble Capacity, tie Forged Ahead to the Front Ranks in the World, New York, Special.-George Francis Train, who died here Monday night, probably was one of the most pic-/ turesque figures in the history 6t America. Only a year ago, when-he was then 74 years old, he dictated the reminiscences of his extraordinary ca reer, and the result was published in book form. Summarized An his own curious fashion, this contained infor mation about his life:/ "Shipping clerk, li; manager, 18; partner in Train & Co., 20, with an income of $10,000; established the firm of George Francis Train & Co., Mel bourne, Australia, 1853; agent White Star Line, income $90,000; started 40 clippers to California in 184b; built railroad connecting Erle with Ohio and Mississippi; pioneered the first street railway in Europe, America, Australia and England; built first" Pacific rail way, 1862-1869; owned 5,000 lots in Omaha, worth $3,0PC??KK>; been in 15 jails without a crime." Mr. Train's pifrents, with several brothers and sisters, died at New Or leans from yellow fever, and his child hood home was on his grandmother's farm in Massachusetts. Not long after entering the Boston shipping house founded by his cousin, he went abroad and from that time on he wandered all over the globe. - In 1873 he began a career as lecturer and agitator, and held public debates with some of the ablest orators in the country. A few years ago he made a trip around the world in 60 days, say ing afterwards that his psychic force enabled him to overcome all obstacles. When Mills' Hotel No. 1 was opened several years ago, Mr. Train went there to live, and since then made it his headquarters. One of the features of his eventful life was his admiration for children, and for years a familiar spec tacle in Madison Square was "Citizen" Train on a bench surrounded by a group of little ones. Mr. Train's last adventure occurred last summer, when he was quarantined at Stamford, Conn., in a smallpox iso lation camp and threatened that city with a suit for $50,000 damages. He war the author of at least 50 books and frequently asserted that his psychic power eventually would make him the most potent sovereign of the earth. Coffin Factory Burned. Burlington, N. C., Special.-One >f the most disastrous fires in the history of Burlington originated in the factory building of the Burlington Coffin Company of this place about 10 o'clock Tuesday morning. The plant consisted of three l?rge buildings besides the engine and boiler house, dry kilns, storing sh^ds, etc., and w?s one of the largest business enterpris es of Burlington, as well as one of the principal'casket factories south of Baltimore, and has been doing a very prosperous business. Owing to the in tensely cold weather this morning, work in the factory building was not resumed. The origin of the fire is un known, for when the fire was discov ered the entire second story of the factory building was in flames, which soon reached every part of the build ing and Rpread to the engrinp and bollix sr house, the dry kilns, and to an im mense quantity of lumber on the yards. The factory was equipped with a very complete outfit of machinery, most of it being of the latest and most improved designs, all of which was lost, together with the ent're stock of patterns, coffin bits and machine room. An immense quantity of lumber was in stock, more than 250,000 feet of which were burned, together with a large ?tock of covered casket shells. The total loss is estimated at from $25,000 to $30,000, with about $10,000 Insurance on the factory building p.nd the machinery. It is understood tnat the company will rebuild, probably upon an enlarged plan, at as early a date as practicable. Lee's Birthday. Atlanta, Special.-The anniversary of the birthday of Gen. Robert E.

Recently a new play was pefformel in Prague, the principal characters in which are a beautiful yomjgiady and a brilliant young offlcer$ut are unable to marry because the? are as poor a* church mice. True^tne young ladz has a very rich ujicie, from whom shey hopes to obtain-aid, but shs very sooa discovers thaf he ls an arrant miser and will n*jt give her a farthing? / The woes of the lovers touched the"? hearts -gr many in the audience, but only one person proved really equal to th? o?caslon. This was a worthy and wealthy baker, who had actually been moved to tears by the distressing, scenes on the stage. At last his heart overflowed, and the moment the rich uncle vanished with a bitter sneer at his niece's folly on his lips, he rushed from his seat to the footlights, and, taking a well-filled purse from his pocket, handed it to the astonished ' heroine, saying: "Here, take thi?-you'll find a good dowry in it-and have nothing more to do with that wretched miser." Every one in the theater roared at the good fellow's simplicity and gen erosity, but he could not see that he had done anything unusual, and, as he refused to take back the purse, th? heroine, with a smile, laid it on a table, and the play went on. Simplicity. One need not be a Buddhist to real ize the folly of many human wishes. It is too evident that the desires of today are artificial desires. They are created on the one hand by those who have things to sell and on the other hand by those who have so much money that they must spend it foolish ly to show that they have it. Someone's desire for profits or some one's desire for display are often at the bottom of the desire for this and that and the other desire which you feel for bric-a-brac and gewgaws of dress. - , Beautiful things are not neces sarily expensive, they are usually simple In line and color. Dook about your room s*nd pick out all the un necessary. But you do not want ten beautiful pictures in one room nor ten beautiful vases. Simplify your roomB? V r Then look at your clothes and no tice the unnecessary trimming which adds only to the bill and to the labor of those who make them. The effec tive gowns on the stage, are always simple; they depend for their beauty, too, upon line and color. Simplify your clothes! But if you do neither of thes?^ things in the right spirit if you do not simplify first af all-your dress. Impossible to Square Circle.

Gnowing How/Hard lt ts to Drive Folkp Into Matrimony. Once uD#h a time, before everybody had learned to attend strictly to his own affairs, a man and a maid were in love/with each other, but, though this wiiS patent to all their friends, neither fit them knew lt. However, their ' friends said unanimously: "We will demonstrate it to them and write a triumphant Q. E. D. upon their wed ding morn." Therefore, the maid never was in vited anywhere that she did not find I the man invited also; nor was the man invited anywhere but that he found the maid likewise a guest. Further more, the man always was detailed to take the maid in to dinner, and they could not so much as glance at each other without everybody eue having an errand out of the room, and society b?came a vast manufactory of oppor tunities for them to rt vol in each other's company alone and undis turbed. Now, before this had time to become a habit with them, both the man and the maid penetrated the dark plot. Whereupon the maid tossed her head, saying: "They needn't think I have only one chance," and immedi ately betrothed herself to an impeculi ous fortune hunter whose only rec ommendation was his title. And thereupon the man hastily mar ried himself to a grass widow from Chicago, whose reputation, they do say, was responsible for the big fire. Consequently all their friends nod ded their heads sagely, and whispered to each other, "Didn't I tell you so?" Alex Ricketts in Philadelphia Ledger. Bank Account Long Untouched.

Young Maiden's Dream of Romance Sadly Shattered. Maisie was the daughter of a rich merchant, and therefore she could afford to be romantic. To her most young men with black mustaches ard an inclination to cheat the barber of his just dues in the matter of hair were heroes of a high order. Papa Spillkins' cashier was this sort of young man, and Maisie decided that her heart and both her 6% hands were his alone. One day she met him in the street, but he passed her by with an abstracted air. "Papa," she said sadly that even ing, "I saw that handsome cashier of yours this afternoon. It is sad to think that he should be chained to the dull routine of an office. He is a poet, I am sure. He has such a heavenly, far-away look in his eyes." "Yes," snapped old Spillkins an grily, "and that far away look isn't confined to his eye. It's all over him just at present. He bolted this after noon with as much of my money as he could lay his hands upon." The promises of Providence are to those who dig for their bread and not to those who dream about big loaves.

'The British Parliament would not stand for a clay tne slaughter that goes on upon the railroads of Ameri ca," said .lohn Burns, the famous la bor member of Parliament, in a re cent London speech. His words are emphasized by the fact that last oat iirday thirty-two people were killed on our railroads by accidents that might have been prevented., "The slaughter on our own rail roads is bad enough," said Burns, "but it is child's play to what goes on in America. The casualty list of the American railways equals that of a first class war. * "I have been accused of calling in dustrial America a slaughter house, and if you ask me for proof I point you to the death roll of the brave men Who lose their lives In the hoarding up of millions for the rail road magnates." Last year there were 3.G00 people killed by the railroads-nearly ten a day. The law says that the railroads shall make the work of their employes "reasonably safe."
