A HEAVY IVIORTCACE.
How a eerominent .1s:termer quickly
lifted it
-
A mortgage Iota been described as an
incentive to industry, a heavy mortgage,
as a sure sign of ruin. The last is particu-
larly true, for ff a mortgage is allowed to
run it will eat up the farm. In this con-
nection leIr. Hetery Fowler, of Huron
writes: "From me boyhood scrofula had
marked me for a victim and it seemed as
if it had a life mortgage on my blood. I
suffered fearfully with sores, and know-
ing my condition I have remained a single
znan. Doctor after doctor prescribedfor
me, and finally a Toronto specialist told
me bluntly that my complaint was a.
deep-seated, incurable, bleod disease.
Sarsattazilla I knew was a good blood
medicine and I sent for a bottle of the
best. Mr. Todd, the druggist, sent me
Scott's Sareapatilla, and 1 ilave stuck to
it. It has lifted my mortgage, for to -day
I am free from those horrible sores, my
eyesight is not blurred, my tongue is not
furry, and I have no irritation. I look
upon Scott's Sarsaparilla as a marvellous
needicine when it will cure a life long
disease in so short a time."
Scrofula, pimples, running sores, rheu-
matism and all diteases generated by
poisonous humors in the bloed are cured
by Scott's Sarsaparilla, The kind that
cures. Sold only in concentrated form
-at et per bottle by your druggist. Deft
from half to one teaspoonful.

ten is made to fill the gap at this end
of the feeding time, in the tields, But
nothing could be worss for the cows
than this. The. pasture is not only in -
nutritious, but positively unwholesome
and indigestilae, and, if used by other
animals, would probably bring on an
attack of black leg—the fatal anthrax
—whit= the cow onlyesempes because
i
the poison passes away n the railk. This
fact alone will speak volumes to the
dairyraen itt trega,rd to the extreme
• danger and the injury to the milk re-
' salting from the poisonous gases that
rise from the swamps at this season of
the year;
d. the noxiouscharacter of
the herbage grown on these lands,
1 with the unwholesome water that in
° times of drought the cows are compell-
, ed. to drink. There is no wonder that
the 'milk of cows so fed and watered
should produce the various fevers that
, prevail in the late summer, one of which
especially note -worthy, is that known
as milksick, by which, while the cows
escape as above mentioned, the major-
ity of persons who contract the dis-
ease through milk, or butter or cheese
made of the milk, perish.
"This is a.11 avoiciable. And at the
same time, while this is the case, there
is the far more profitable result of the
care by which the troubles are avoid-
ed, in the more excellent quality of
all the dairy products made at this
season under the best system of man-
agement of the dairy.
"The, pasture that has been reserved
for this season, if it has been kept free
from weeds, and the second growth
from former use for the cows, and has
been well cleaned of the old refuse, and
been sweetened by a light dressing of
lime and salt, is unexcelled even by the
fresh spring herbage. It is fuller of
nutriment than this,. for the grass is
more mature, and while it is young and
tender, it contains all the larger nu.-
triment of the mature pasture. And it
comes at a season when there is u.rg-
eau need for it, and when the market
price of the best dairy products reach-
es the highest point, or when the pro-
duct may be kept for later sale be the
winter at still better prices.
"But the climate of this continent is
not so favorable for grass—at least un-
der ow: lees skillful culture of the land
—as that of European countries, and
notebly England, with whose products
we directly. compete. Thus it is bet-
ter for as,at least those of us who
have not learned exactly how to main-
tain an excellent grew pastuse, to de-
pend on some grown crop to meet this
need. And here we have an equival-
ent in our inestimable cern. This plant
Is exactly. suited for the exigency, for
it is now en its most valuable condition,
that is, full of rich nutriment, sue-

neglects to reinforce himself with
safficient supple of green oorn for this
season of need, misses a great oppor-
tu.nity. And, as the season of frosts

GREAT PEACH FARM..
Now an Enterprising Grower Manages His
Orchard.
The great Hale peach cachard, in
Georgia„ covers 1,078 acres, 600 of
which are in bearing trees, and the re-
mainder in nursery stock. There are
avenues running north and south
through the orebard, 500 feet apart,
with a cross road every 1,000 feet.
There are two large packing houses
100 feet long and 40 feet wide and two
stories high, and a lodging house or
hotel has just been built for the help.
Last year some 400 helpers camped in
barns, wagons, tents, etc. At pick-
ing time about 500 men and women,
chiefly colored, and seventy-five horses
and mules, are employed, while fifty
men and thirty mules are employed
the year round. At the lodging house
rooms and beds are free, and board
costs §2.50 a week, while families and
parties can furnish their own food and
have it cooked for themselves if they
choose. This year the cumuli° attacked
the peaches, and Mr. Hale waged
prompt war upon the insects, jarring
the trees and catchiog the insects in
sheets tacked to light semicircular hoop
frames. Two of these were brought
I together about a tree, which was struck
by a rubber -padded dub, and the in-
sects which dropped were then thrown
into buckets and carried by boys to
barrels in wagons and drawn away to
be burned with the stung fruit which
dropped with them. Fifty men were
busy for nearly two months, from early
April onward, at this work, which cost
$4,000. Bot while in other orchards
from 60 to 90 per cent. of tbe fruit was
lost, and in some orchards the entire
crop, the Hale orchard alone bad a full
crop, and many of the trees were so
overloaded that they required severe
thinning by hand.

Great 'Wealth Has Brought Ililtu—At
lie Is a Broken -Gown, Sor-
rowirtg Mart.
Doe$ it pay to be worth $100,000,000?
Does an income that piles up faster
than a man's whims can spend it, that
puts everything money can buy within
his grasp, insure happiness? One ans-
wer to this question is the story of the
life of Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt, bis
trimnphe and successes, and then the
latest obapter. This shows the pic-
ture of him as he sat in a chair at his
daughter's 'wedding last Tuesday, a
broken down ma,n at fifty-two, his
oldest son dead, his second son estrang-
ed froni him, his brother's children kept
away by the shadow of a scandal.
Here is the outline of his early life:
Nov. 27, 1843, he was born at New DorP,
Staten Island. At that time his father,
William E. Vanderbilt, was compara-
tively poor, His grandfather, the
"Comraodore," after whom he was
named, was rich for those days, but
not as rich men are reokoned now.
In 1794, only forty-rane years be-
fore Cornelius was born, the "Commo-
dore" came into the world in the one-
story cottage at Port Richmond, S. I.,
that sheltered. the house of Vanderbilt
in those days. In the boyhood of the
present Cornelius but a small part of
the wealth ana a still less of sedate:11s-
Unction were associated with the name.
It was a plain, thrifty family which in-
telligent industry was musing to pros-
per.
ENTERED BUSINESS AS A BOY.
After a school education (he did not
go to college) Cor.nelious Vanderbilt be-
gan his business apprenticeship as clerk
in a, bank. Ile showed an aptitude for
commercial life, and in 1867 was made
treasurer of the New York and Har-
lem Railroad. This was the beginning
of his life work, railroad financieriug.
Ten year later he became President of
the company. He worked hard and per-
sistently in extending the Vanderbilt
sestem. Goad luck helped him at every
turn. To -day he is director in more
than thirty railroad companies,
In 1870 he married Nese Alice Goinne,
of Cincinnati. It soon became evident
that he had social ambitions and was
desirious of making the family name
as distinguished for its social prestige
as for its rapidly inereasing wealth. In
this, too, he succeeded.
To -day he its the head or probably
the niost powerful American family
from -a. somal point of view and. one of
the two or three richest.
Ile is worth at a conservative esti-
mate $100,000,000. Some say $150,-
000,000. He is probably the richest in-
dividual in America.
No man has thu.s far contrived a
"happiness meter," so just the amount
of happiness Cornelius Vanderbilt has
extracted from his millions eau be esti-
mated only from the facts of his life.
HIS GREATEST PLEASURE.
He is said to have told a friend once
that hard work had been the chief
plea,sure of his life and that he had
impressed upon his sons that regular
employment was the essential factor
in contentment. Mr. Vanderbilt has
had. muoh hard work in the making
of his millions, but no one would say
hard work is a pleasure out of the
reach of all save the rich.
He has been a religious man, a devout
Episcopalian; but, like work, the conso-
lations and comforts of religion can
be enjoyed aa fully by the man who
carries the liod as by the millionaire.
Money has indeed been a factor in
his charitable work, for he is said to
be a large giver and to feel a moral
responsibility towards the poor; but
even here persons of vastly smaller
means can and do give probably more
proportionally. Thus to gratification
of giving Le not confined to the million-
aire.
On the other band the social dis-
tinction that makes men say "there
goes Cornelius Vanderbilt," and grati-
fies his pride, is due directly to his
$100,000,000.
So, too, is the great town house, look-
ing out across the park, as luxurious
and costly as the famous palaces of the
old world. So, too, is the great villa,
at Newport, the Breakers. So, too,
is the control he "wields over the hap-
piness of nearly 100,000 employes on his
variou.s railroads. So, too, Is his com-
mand of every material luxury the
fancy seizes him to wish for.
He may travel in private cars, or pri-
vate trains for that matter, all over
the continent. He may cross the ocean
in a private steamslap of his own. His
retinue of servants is limited only by
his inclinations.
THINGS MILLIONS HAVE BOUGHT.
Of things accounted desirable, these
in Mr. Vanderbilt's life are the ones
his great wealth has brought, which
he could not have obtained without
his $100,000„000.
Great social distinction, control of
the source of livelihood of 100,000 men,
two of the greatest houses in Amer-
ica, every material luxury in the world.
But if these are set down on the credit
side of the account there are certain
other items that go with them.
Mr. Vanderbilt's great prominence
has for its logical consequence a glar-
ing .publicity.
Has great wealth end authority as
a railroad magnate over thousands of
employees subject him to all manner
of appeals and threats from cranks
and the unbalanced and desperate.
The magnificence of his daily sur-
roundings, the almost royal elegance of
his houses, is a pleasure which probab-
ly as often petits as kindles into keen
satisfaction. Mr. Vanderbilt was not
born to it and it is probable that if
he is like other rich man who have
risen from more humble beginnings, he
often eights for his old StatenIsland
home.
Furthermore, the responsibility, of the
mere possession of $100,000,000 and the
power and opportunity it gives, brings
deep respoximbilities, and it is said Mr.
Vanderbilt realizes them. If he does
they must be a heavy load. '
Looking in this way• a.t the thinos
whieh affect the life of Mr. Cornelius
Vanderbilt,derived from hie wealth,
and weighing the advantages - against
the drawbacks, the possession of 0100,-
000,000 does not appear in itself to bring
happiness. It certainly has not brought
it to him. Study the latest picture of
him, the view of him on Lis daughter's
wedding dary. I 1 •

TRAINING OF VOLUNIEERS.
The Difference Betirecit Tactics and Strafe
egy—The Greatest minters Virtue.
In a. recent address on "The Tactical
Training of Volunteers," Lord, Wolse-
ley, tbe coramender-in-chief of the
English array, said that there was a
general tendency to confound tactics
with strategy. When one talked of stra-
tegy he talked of science, but when he
talked of tactics., he talked of an art.
It was very desirable that those. wbo
hold high positions in military forces
sboued have a very extended knowledge
of strategy and military history, from
which the rules of strategy were de-
rived.
Tactics, on the other hand, was an
art very easily acquired, and related to
outpost duty, rear -guard duty, and
work ofethat kind. Ile believed any,
competent captain of a company could
teach it to his subordinates, and he
wouli even go further and say. that
tactical instruction might be given in
a room. Of course, he did not wish to
deprecath the instruction which was
given in the field. On the contrary,
the more officers of both the army and
the volunteers who could go into camp
and be taught tactics and tactical op-
erations the better it would be for
them.
IMPROVING IN DRILL.
It had been said that regiments and
regimental officers were what the coin-,
mending officers made them, and be
believed that to be entirely the case.
When he remembered whet the volun-
teers had been, and knew what they
were at present, he could not but con-
gratulate them upon having done so
much in recent years to improve them-
selves. They had improved both in dis-
cipline and drill. He referred particu.-
lady to the drill, because it had rather
been lost sight of in the discussion,
and, although no one worked harder
than he had done to get old-fashioned
drills abolished in the army, he had
always thought, and would continue to
think, how great was the value and
importance of drill. It was not only
discipline for the bogy, but for the
mind, and taught men m the first ru-
dienents of obedience.
IINQ,ESTIONING OBEDIENCE.
If he were asked what was the,great-
est military virtue—greater even than
courage—he would say that it was
• unhesitating, unquestioning obedience.
With regard to the suggestion that
volunteer officers should be required
to pass a compulsory examireation in
tactics, though there was a great deal
to be said in favor of it, one had to
deal with actual' facts, and could not
lay down in writing what he conceived
would be the best possible process for
imparting a knowledge of tactics. It
was necessary to take volunteer offi-
cers as they were found, and make the
best of the force, but, above all, he must
not do anything that would injure the
patriotic feeling which called the force
into existenc,e.
Instructors should take every oppor-
tunity of instructing the officers in a
knowledge ot tactics, but they could
oot lay down a hard and fast rule; and
say that volunteer officers must pass
an examination in tactics, or their ser-
vices would. be dispensed with. On
the other hand, however, where they
got a bad commanding officer in a bat-
talion, and it was evident that the de-
fects of the battalion were due to the
commanding officer, they must say to
him: "Sir, you have done your best,
but your best is not good, enough for
us, and you must go."
WHY IS WHEELING DELIGHTFUL?
• The cause of the pleasure aristng from:
riding a beeyele is discussed in the
French Revue Scientifique by M.
Charles du Pasquier. He rejects
the opinion- of another man of science,
Monsieur Tissie, who thinks the pleas-
ure of wheeling cameo from the "nutn-
erous associations of ideas correspond -
tog to the veriou.s attitudes assumed
in, the effort to keep one's balance,"
and asserts, on the contrary, that the
• pleasure is due to the absence of vari-
ety itt the motions and attitudes of the
rider. The latter feels himself mov-
keg swiftly and easily by means of a
simple and uniform effort of his mus-
cles, and hence his, pleasure. But ac-
cording to Monsieur Fasquier, the mo-
notony of the movement, while it tends
to quiet the .nerves a,nd exalt the sensi-
bilities, may, if theeexeroise is carried
too far, remelt itt imjury, by reducing
the nervous activities of the rider to
a Minmona. He asserts' that overindul-
gence tends to narrow the activity of
