MRS MAHER IS THE GREATEST WO—
MAN TRAMP.
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.
--
Warm Praise for the New Commander.ln
Chief.
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 ."

AGRICULTURAL
The Use or the Sunflower.
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

very fine honey and wax when properly

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

SCOTT'S SARSAPARILLA
Vou may relieve 9' cold in the heiad
by local applica-
tions, but all the snuffs, powders, sprays,
salves and balms on earth won't cure catarrh.
Scott's Sarsaparilla, will, because it acts con-
stitutionally with pure blood, reaching every
part of the system, searching out the fount
of mucous accumulations, removing the cause
of their being. The reason it cures catarrh is
on account of the newly discovered properties
ton. it contains.

"Monsoon" Tea is packed under the supervision
of the Tea growers, and is advertised and sold by them
as a sample of the best qualities of Indian and Ceylon
Teas. For that reason they see that none but the
very fresh leaves go into Monsoon packages.
That is why "Monsoon,' the perfect Tea, can be
sold at the same price as inferior tea.
It is put up in sealed caddies of 54. lb., o lb. and
5 lbs., and sold in three flavours at 400., sec. and 6oc.
