For' Thirty Years She �ua Witudereit About the Country. Visiting Important Citlee —Touch or ratites in lier Life. Mrs, Maher, known to railroad men all over the United States and Canada as the woman tramp,passed through Erie, Pa., a ' few days ago on her way east. This was her second viait to Erie this 888800, she having passed through the city laab March on her way to Pittsburg. Mra. Maher, who Is now about 00 years old, is one of the strangest characters liv- ing. She hae been tramping for the paet thirty years, and in that time has traveled distance mare than the equivalent of five times around the world. Winter and aunt - mer, good weather and bad,she ia continue ally on the go, and she probably will keep on tramping until s he fella dead by the roadside, There ie a pathetic side to the woman's strange life. For the last twenty years aha has been searching for her son Jimmie,who was stolen or ran away from her. The boy was 14 yeare old when he disappeared and had been tramping withhismother for about ten years. Those who knew him say he wee a remarkably bright lad, having been taugh. the common branches of edupation by his mother as they tramped aoross the country together. The employes of nearly every railroad in the country have seen or heard of Mrs Maher. She is wellaknown to engineers and trainmen on all of the trunk lines,and, as she makes annual trips, her coming is looked for from year to year. She passes over the same roads about the same time every year, and for a week before she puts in her appearance the railroad boys are on the lookout. Mrs. Maher was born in County Roscom- mon,Ireland. Her maiden name was Walsh. When she was 20 years old she came to America, and lived for a few years at Buffalo, N. Y., as a servant in a hotel. From there she went to Toronto, where she met James Carey, a plumber. BOUGHT BY VIE BOYS. "I was what you would call a good- looking girl in those days," said the old woman, "and the young fellows were all crazy about me. I was married to Carey and we lived together until the war broke one Carey was anxious to be a soldier, and he joined a regiment at Buffalo. He was killed on the field of battle,leaving me with a little boy to care for. He was named James, after his father, but I have alvvays called him Jimmie. I lost him twenty years ago, near Cleveland, but I think l'll find him before I die. He must be a fine young man now, and may be he's married to some farmer's daughter. I could piok him out of a million, he had such lovely brown eyes, and he had his father's nose." As near as can be learned it was about 1865 that Mrs. Maher started from Buftalo on the tramie with little Jimmie, who was then 4 years old. In the fall of that year she first made her appearance in Erie, and it was noeiceable that her mind was affeot- ed. She had brooded over the death of her husband in the war until her reason had partially fled. At times she was rational in her talk, but she had that peculiar gleam in her eyes usually found in an insane person. Those who remember Mrs.Maher's first visit to Erie say she was a woman of evident refinement. She was interesting in conversation, and the people marveled at her ability to talk on most any sub. ject. A year later Mrs. Maher was again seen in Erie. She sa-cl she had been so fox west as Chicago, and had also visited Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Detroit and other large cities. She carried a basket on her arm, mutili like the one she had when she first passed throuoh Erie, the year before. In this basket she carried a small teapot and some provisions that kind-hearted people had given her. She still carries a small basket and a teapot, and they look as if they had done service a good many years.

Lord Wolseley, the new comma.nder-in- chief of the 13ritish army, enjoys, in ad& tion to many other fine distinctions, the rare good fortune of having won the un- qualified approbation of Mr. G. W. Smalley, London correspondent of the New York Sun, who vvriteu as follows regarding the famous English soldier who was born in Ireland: "Lord Wolseley is 62 years old and by oommon consent the most accompliehed of living English soldiers. There are those who think Lord Roberts hie superior in the field or in the conduct of a campaign, but the two have been tried in such differ ent ways that there are no very good ineans of judging. Lord Wohteley's superiority as an administrator is hardly questioned, and it is in administration that the work of a commander.in•chief, certainly in peace, has to be done. If he had been passed over in favor of the Duke of Connaught or any- body Wee, the injustice would. have been glaring. He has a great opportunity be. fore him, He can do all he tried to do as adjutant general without the friction he then met. He cannot make England the military rival of any great power on the continent, but he can give her an army fit to defend her against invasion. That will be the measure of his success. "Of both the Duke of Cambridge and Lord Wolseley one thing may be said— both are delightful persono.11y. The Duke is the one member of the royal family who bates royal etiquette and court ceremony. He likes human intercourse on a human, basis. His talk is bluff, hearty, frank soldierly and to the point, and he has a geniality of manner and of character which has made him immensely popular. Lord Wolseley's conversation is among the best in London. He is one of the few men who speak his mind in all companies, and all his mind. He has an alertness, a fluency, a clearness of speech and a direct way of reaching his point which are more American Shan English. No trace in him of what we sometimes think over.deliberateness of thought. He is as rapid in speech as in thought,whereas the swiftness of movement of the American mind is e.pt to disguise itself in slowness of utterance. If such a word may be used of a man.Lord Wolseley is charming in manner and charming in character. He is a soldier to the tips of his fingers, but not too obviously a soldier. He conforms to the rule that a well bred man should not have any stamp,profeesion- al or other, too visibly impressed on him. He is not to be summed up iv a phrase, but may be said of nim that there is no better soldier, no more interesting companion, no more honorable man, no finer intelligence, a.nd certainly no man whom the great ma- jority of Englishmen more heartily wished to see commander.inechief ." LOQUACITY AND OLD AGE. Does Knell Talk Induce Louts Lire ? Inter- esting Speculations from Statistics of Freneill Gen te n art iins. Inc France a census of centenarians has just been taken, and the tabulation shows 213 persons in that country who are over a hundred years of age. Of this number only sixty-six are men, or less than one third. An amusing oomment on this has been going the rounds in Paris to the effect that the reason for this surprising comparative long - Mrs. Maher alwaya made it a point to evity of women is their proneness to talk get acquainted with the section men along and gossipat every conceivable opportunity. She different railroads, and it was in this Constant chattering, it is said, leads to the way she met Michael Maher, her second active oirculation of the blood, and thus husband.

In Chileli and Kunio. the SUX1110Wer is conoidered 4 valuable plant, aud it is raieed for its seeds AG 04 rate of nearly half a million pounds annually. The poor farm• era of Italy and ludia likewise attach gifeet importance to the plant,and the seedare harvested for animal food and for poultry. The eunflower has long been ranted ie this oottutry for ornamental purposee, but with the exception of a few poultry raisers who fatten their fowls on the 'feeds no one takes the trouble to utilize either stalks or seeds. Nevertheless, there are few plants that yield more useful ertioles of commerce than the sunflowers. Their velue is already being appreciated by scientist, and a more general oultivation of the plants is recom- mended, In their wild state the sunflowers are smeller than when properly cultivated, but very little attention is required to give them a aplendid growth, Soil that will produce any other farm crop will yield a heavy supply of sunflowers. One of the moat important uses for the sunflower eeeds is as food for poultry and cattle. It has long been valuecl by pro. grese:ve farmers as an excellent and cheep food for fowls. Nothing makes them fatten quicker, and they will frequently leave ell other food for them. The seeds make the hens lay better, and greatly in. orease•their weight, They can be raised cheaper than corn, and give better results. As a food for cattle the results so far obtained are vary satisfactory. In Den- mark remarkable success has been obtained in mixing sunflower seeds with barley and oats for cattle. Nearly all farm animals enjoy the seeds, and eat them freely, especially when mixed with grains. The food has no deleterious effect upon the flavor or quality of the milk, but rather increases its flow. Sunflower oil made from the eeeds is in great demand in this country. In Russia millions of pounds of the seeds are raised annually for the oil, and large quantities of this oil are exported from that country. In the crude state it is used by painters for inside work, but it does not quite equal linseed oil for varnish purposes. It is mixed with most of our cheap paints, and also with many prepared some. in Russia itis used to some extent for burning, but not where there is any market for it. It takes about one bushel of seed to make a gallon of oil, and about fifty bushels of seed are produced on one acre of land. When the oll is selling at $1 per gallon, the profits are large. Of late year efforts have been made to refine the oil so as to sell in competition with olive oil. In fent, purified sunflower oil is used quite extensively to adulterate salad oils. Many consider it equal to the ordinary grades of olive and almond oil for table uses. It is of a pale yellow color, flavorless and palatable. In Maryland oonsidere:ble of this oil is made to supply the Baltimore trade, and ate. recent experi- ment with it the hotel men of that city said they preferred it to all others for salads. France, Germany and Italy are enlarging their plants for making all kindsof seed oils, and among these the sunflower seed oil is conspicuous. The present outlook seems to indicate a time when the sunflower will become an importnut factor in the produc- tion of the best seed oil. • After the oil is extracted from the seeds the residue is made into cakes for cattle food, and while not so nutritious as the food made from the fresh seeds, it is of considerable value. The factories that ex- press the oil sell the seed cakes at a merely nominal sum. In the poorer districts of India and Europe a fair kind of bread is made from sun flower seeds, and the natives depend upon it for a steady article of diet. Their cattle are fed with the same diet, only the seeds and heads are chopped up together, and even the leaves are fed to the animals, The stalks, when stripped of their leaves andheads are dried. and used for fuel. One acre Of sunflowers will yield a great many cords of good fuel. The stalks are large, tough, brittle and good burners. A few acres of such fuel will last one all winter. Many cheap cigars are made from the leaves of the vunflower. la hen properly cured the large leaves make excellent wrap- pere for cheap cigars. When pulverized and mixed with an equal quantity of tobac- co, the combination is not inferior to many of the cheap grades of tobacco. In fact, the sunflower leaves give a peculiar aroma- tic flavor to the tobacco that is liked by many smokers. Cheap cigarettes have considerable of this kind of tobacco in them. The stalks find other uses than that for fuel. In China the fibre is treated like flax, and woven to a great extent in silk fabrics. The stalks have to be gathered at the right time for this use, and then shreded either by hand or 'machinery. The fibre is fine and silky, very strong and endurable. The Chinese use it to give strength to their silk fabrics, but their methods of ob- teining and curing it are very crude and slow. With improved modern maohinery the fibre of the sunflower stalks could be made of great value in this country. Factories once established would find no difficulty in getting farmers to raise enough sunflowers for their use, for, with the seeds and leaves, and stalks in good demand, the crop would prove extremely Prgevfitaebralel.minor articles are made from the sunflowers. From the bright yellow blos- soms a yellow dye is made that stands use very well. Moreover, the flower produces very fine honey and wax when properly treated. In England the honey and wax are made more successfully than elsewhere, and as a side issue the manufacturer of these two products is very profitable. Finally potash eau be made from the stalks. Thie proves that the plants possess a good percentage of one of the most important of soil elements,and that the crop would prove valuable as a fertilizer, if it could be pro. duced to an available form.
