A Story Of a Revolver. Though the, weapon wail cast into the sea, ibe oriine went not unavenged of men. I was walking along the dook one after- noon, when I ran into a primp who w fumbling over hep of rubbish ta an esti barrel. He flashed out a revolver, blindly had his band touched the 'weapon them tie threw the pistol to the ground. Towing to tne, he said ; I would like to take that iron with me." Well, there it is." " No, net for the world." " You are crazy." • “1 am not. How do I know what may have been done with that revolver ? Might it not have been med in some killing setup° ? You know, it's a superstition tunong thieves ead murdereis to throw away their shooting irons. It is censidered bad lack to hold them." is Why SO "Oh there's no telling. Now this revol- ver," he said, might oave taken a znan's life for all I know. There wee rust stains oo the beadle, See for yourself" I looked closely; There were dull stains there. They might possibly have been caused by human blood. Butonly the microicopa could determine that definitely DOw. "Maybe the than who fell before this gun was robbed of his =Money; maybe he bad si home and family; maybe it was some atrocious midnight surprise." As the tramp said this he looked intently at the engine of death in a refiectiire fashion. Thep, with a sudden movement he threw it far out in the tide. I thought no more of the incident Four month, later my business took me to a small town in Connecticut. ' "You are just in time," iaga friend . there's to be lots of sport here th-day. "How so ?" I asked inquisitively. Well, we're to have a hanging bee. We're going to make a man swing for a bloody crime Here is his picture in the peper. I looked and started with surprise. It was the face of my tramp friend. The Wife of Mr. Blaine. Mre. Blaine has been a most devoted mother to her children, receiving from thepi the most extravagant devotion in returnlot her years of unselfish care, writes Frank Whodberry in a pleasant sketch of the Wife of the famous statesman in the December Ladies' Home Journal. She is a most briV limit and churning hostess and delightfut convereationalist, with fine command of words and graphic power of description. In eppeerance Mrs. Blaine is pleasing, She is rather tall, and in figure is inclined to stoutness. Her hair is changieg rapidly from gay to white, and is always welt and tastefully arranged. Her eyes are a blue - gray ; her taste in dress is quiet but elegant. Uneonsciousness, unworldlinessonselfisli- neas and truthfulness, a power to make those, who know her enthneiristicany devot- ed to her, an industry almost limitless in •its accomplishment, cheerfUlness which never fails in the darkest of crisis, and frankness —these are the characteristics of the women who, though sa little known in her own personality, hai refleoted in her husband'i brilltant succesa the strength and nobility of her life. Burial of " Blue Bird." FROM THE SLIMS WHERE sHE LIVED Aim LAE0HED. , New York. Nov. 18.—One of the saddest and malt effective scenes which the inmates of the " Door of Rope" Rescue Missionat No. 102 East Sixty-first street, have wirer been celled -upon to witness, was the funeral service held over the body of Delia Latigh- lin, a reclaimed inmate of the WA dives of Ole city, who died two days ago of bon- sumption. Delia Laughlin had been knoivn al " thie Bird " by her dissolute friends, but since her conversion, seventeen months ago, , iiiie had preached and talked to hundreds, With good effect At the funeral the front iand back perlors of the mission were croWded with the dead woman's friends. The RSV. Dr.- Simpson, pastor of the Tabernacle at Forty-fourth. street and Eighth avenue, officiated. . - ' 4 The casket containing the body stood in . the front parlor, and was literally covered with white and pink roses and festoons of smilax: Above the coffin was the motto of blue on a pink background, "Chosen and sealed." After singing the hymn "At the Cross," Dr. Simpson offered; prayer, and thert all seng the hymn, "There is sun- shine in my Foul to -day," which had been Delia's , favorite hymn. The Rev. Dr. Simpson read a portion of the seventh ehapter of Revelations, and spoke briefly of the wonderful work accomplished by "Blue Bird" since her conversion. Then Mrs. \ E. M. Whittemore, who has charge of the mis- sion, told the listeners in a quiet, but earn - eat way, something of the young girrs life. , It wait in May, 1891, that Mrs. Whitte- more and her husband first saw Delia in a vile Mulberry Bend slum. "When I first saw her," said Mt% Whittemore, " she was surrounded by thieves. Over her eyes were two blue and ugly eats in her forehead and another deep gash acrost her ear and head, from which pert of the hair had been torn. We gave her ai pink rose and the next day, ail she told me afterward, she tried to forget , what we had said to her, but the sight of the faded rose reminded her of her life, and from that time ahe had worked every minute to seve those whit were as degraded as she was once. , Upi to the last moment of her life Delia never forgot her associates in the vieinity of Mulberry Bend, and knowing that many of them wauld wish to attend her funeral, but on account of their poverty and degra- dation would not care to go up to Sixty- first ; street, she had requested that the servtae be held down town. Delia Loughlin had been one of the worst drunkard and “ opium fiends " of the dives, but since her coatiersioa she had addressed convicts in Sing Sing and Auburn Prisons, and for some mouths had cherge of a branch missien in N eve London. , The funeral service t proper were held at the Five Points Mission. When Eddie Hearn, her old =Teuton in crime, carhe in to look at her for the last time, he plaeed a little wreath of immortells above her head, stopped and pressed a kiss to the bloodless lipe, then burst into teem,- as if he were a simple child,histead of a strong man steeped in erima. , During the evening two score or More of Delia'a old friends and compabions came to pay heir last tribute to the dead. " n JO “ JOItalian " was among them, and his eyet were d m as he turned away. ittAul berry Mag care- etoo, and so did " Big Pete" and " Reflead Mary." TheY eh braught a flower or two, and all had a kiod word to say of Delia, for the people a the Bend who had known her in het sin and in her penitence regarded her as oihnost a liamt. i Others caned next morning, and fresh dowers replaced the withered ones. jAnd then at noon a hearse drove up before. the mission door. Gentle hands lifted the plain casket; and the mourners, a. dozen or more eiatered carriages, and in an hour itr so 't Blue Bird" lay at rest beneath the god of Maple Grove Cemetery, within sight of the blue waters of Long Island Sound, 1 f News About Town. AL ABOUT THE_ FARM. THE WINTER CARE OF LIVE STOCK IS WORTH CONSIIJEtitATION. • The Advantages of Feeding ,nfileit Cows h Daily Ration of Grain—Other Items Of Interest and Profit for the Wide. -awake Farmer, If any of the farm stock are it little thin during the winter. they should regeive ex- tra attention, and food. If sheep, separate those in poor flesh, or the old ones from the young, and feed according to their condi- tion, for even if there is plenty of rack and trough room, the strong will crowd away the weak, and obtain the lion's share. If each is allowed only the food actually needed, the results will be different. It does not look well to see a flock of sheep in which some are so feeble as to be hardly able to rise alone, while others are plump and strong. Neither does it indicate good management for a farmer 'to sell each year, during the spring, a half dozen or more sheep pelts, taken from animals that died, from neglect. It is worse than neglect to take the sheep from the pasture in the fall. in good condition and in four or five months allow them to gradually fall away in flesh, and die. With old sheep that are allowed to become thin, it will require good management to bring them through alive, especially if they are to raise lambs. Those in this con- dition should have e. little ground feed four or five times a day, and be so isolated that others will not crowd or worry them. Give bright clover hay, pure water, an occasional apple or potato and they- will soon be in good condition. The cattle should have warm quarters at night, and spring calves should not be al- lowed with the older stook. Some cows that are very gentle and kind in the sum-. mer season, are very tryannical in the win- ter season. If there are no accommodations to keep such ones isolated, they should cer- tainly be dehorned, or at least haves the tips of their horns provided with knobs. hz fact all cattle that are confined should either be dehorned, or have their horns thus protected. The knobs prevent injury from hooking, improve their appearance, and cost but a few cents. If you do not do this, remove the tip end of -the horn with fine saw, rounding up with a sharp knife,. but knobs should be attached if possible.• If the cattle are obliged to go to the creek or pond for water, the approach should be carefully shoveled shoveled out, and if ice coters the surface, it should beroughened so that the cattle will not slip. This can be done on a cold day by throwing on sno!v, and dashing water on it, or cutting in the surface with an axe, as ninoh stock is seriously. injured each winter by slipping and straining while drinking. When cattle are protected by an open shed, there is occasionally one animal so ill-disposed, that all the rest are driven out from the shelter, and the others dare enter only when the boss is lying down. Either confine such a one separately or fit for market at the first opportunity. Nail up a small box somewhere under shelter, in which to keep salt at all times. This is better than simply silting them at odd times. By confining the cattle in stanchions dui.- * the night and allowing them to run at large during the day in pleasant weather, a full grown cow or steer can be kept in bet- ter condition on half a. ton lessof hay, than by the old out of door rough and tumble plan. Of course this makes a little more work, but the manure, if piled up under shelter or drawn to the field during the win- ter, will well pay for the extra time be- sides most farmers have leisure time during the winter season, and may thus turn it into money. If possible never allow colts and horses to run loose with cattle. Colts, if they are kept in good condition, will certainly have their play spells and race the cattle about at a fearful rate. "Unless cattle are de - horned, when penned up, they will use their horns in a disastrous manner, and especially seem to have a grudge against horses and will, if possible, injure them at the first opportunity. Colts should be halter broken, led about and tied up during the day; treat them kindly so they will come to you at the call. This is easily titught them by .giving a littld sugar, corn, or Other food, when they approach you. Use the curry comb freely on both colts and horses, whether they are at work or not. It keeps the skin in a good healthy condition) and gives the stock a neat, trim appearance.— American 'Agriculturist. ,1 It is the current report about town that Kemps Beasam for the Throat and Lungs is making some re- krarkable cures with people who are troubled with Coughs, Sore Throat, Asthma, Bronchitis and Con- Sumption.

GRAIN FEED FOR PASTUREI00W8. lExperiments Show That a Daily Grata Ration for Cows Pays. Two summers feeding of grain to me summer milking cows has convinced me that grain does pay, though fed in limited quantity-. It is, no doubt, true that one feather does not make it clear how far its possessor could fly, nor feeding of a dairy some grain one summer establish a rule of profitable procedure for all dairymen, or all circumstances. Yet it is a fact that there are thousands of dairies that ivould be benefited by an increase of food of some kind, where there are only scores that would not respond to it because of surplus pasture feed, so nutritive in quality, that grain would riot, in its concentrated form, add to the nutritive quality of the dation. My own dairy has twelve cows that became fresh during the autumn of 1891. From the first of November, 1891, to the first of November, 1892, I sold at the creamery, actual platform weights, 70,840 pounds of milk. Therm cows have been fed grain of sorne kind daily for the last , two years, but at no time over five pounds a day. Again, this is not a home bred, or home raised, dairy, but one purchased out of Western droves of fall "springers" on their way to New York. These cows, afier being milked all winter, were turned •on pasture May 9th, and a grain ration of a pound and a half of oat dust, costing five-eighths of a cent, Was fed to each cow daily, as lcing as she gave milk. There has been no month during summer up to September first, that this dairy of "strippers" has not given over 5,000 pounds of milk, though after May 10th one cow was purposely dried off, and one Went dry by reason of an accident, so that ten cows made up the summer diary. After Sept. let, it became necessary to dry oft those nearest to coming in, so as to give them a month's rest, and the new, or father the fresh ones, kept up the flow. The question with me is, could i having luxurious pasture feed, have kept these "strippers" in fairly full flow of milk during the summer, and right well up to the time of calving, with- out the use of a little grainIt must be understood that these cows have no known heredity behind them to give them long milking habits, for it is a saying that all drift cows have been sold for cause, so that it is either grain, or some other teason, that has influenced them to thus prolong their milking season, some of them &fun year. Of course these cows were well kept last winter, but were fed the rathet heterodox\ ration of silage and "seconds," bf the latter five pounds each daily, and possibly four pounds of hay at noon, while the care was still farther from orthodox, by their being kept in the stable continueusly . from Thanksgiving until Hester Sunday. After the first of October the herd was fedafair feed of sweet corn once s day, in additionto the summer pasture and the oat dust. The after feed is not turned into at any time. If itis fed at all, it is cut high, with the mower, and fed at the barri. Six of the cows, yet to freshen this season for next season's work, are giving an average mess of ten pounds each doily.. The whole dairy 15 In one linen condiDion, winen is an argu- ment, along with the milk, that the indica-. tions are, that grain though inilimited quen- tities, hut uniformly fed,hits paid one dairy. man, at least, and confirms him in the faith that grain has adtimportant bearing in bet- teting the inilkhrg performance of a herd of grazing cows.—Anierican Agriculturist. TREATMENT OF CHICKEN CHOLERA, Bow: to Detect the Disease and, Prevent its Spreading Through the Flock. e symptoms of oblation cholera are as follows : The fowl droops and mopes about, with the feathers staring; the comb and wattles turn dark or pale, usually the form. er ; there is great weakness and manifest symptom of distress; digestion is arrested, food refused, the crop filled with sour and fermenting food; diarrhoea of a mild type firat, increasing in severity to the end; droppings at first of a greenish -yellow color, becoming more frothy and sulphurous as the disease progresses; pulse rapid and feeble ; high fever and greet thirst; sleepi- ness is a characteristic symptom. The disease is produced by a microscopic organism. In treeting this disease, as it is highly io- feetious, the first thing to be done is to re- move all the affected birds from the flock, and immediately clean up the premises— house and yard, drenching everything with water acidulated with sulphuric add. Then keep thirties clean and sprinkle daily, or a few days, with water in which a small quantity of -sulphuric acid has been mixed. The following treatment for the sick fowls is recommended by Dr. Michie. Take blue grass, eixty gdains ; pulverized camphor, thirty grains ; cayenne pepper, thirty grains ; pulverized rhubarb, forty-eight grains; laudanum, sixty drops. Mix,. and make into twenty pills. Give one pill to each sick fowl every three or four hours until they act fully on the bowels. When they have acted, give one-half teaspoonful of castor oil and ten drops of laudanem to each. 'Let the drink be scalded sour milk, with fifty drops of sulphuric acid to the pint, . well stirred in. As soon as the evacuations change to a more solid and less characteristic appear - awe, give strong white oak bark tea; or water In which some tannic acid is mixed, and allow no other drink. The droppings must be drenched with the water and sul- plitirie acid to kill the germs. Fortunately this terrible disease is not common in the cooler portions of our coun- try, but in the warmer sections it is often very destructive, sweeping off whole flocks. A hen, dead from this disease, is capable of spreading it through a large area. Such dead hens should be burned, or, if not burned, butied several feet beneath the soil where there is no danger of their being dug up by a stray dog.° Burning is the sureet way of destroying the bodies. Or, they might be treated by pouring over them water to which a liberal amount of sul- phuric acid had been added, and then buried. Care of Dairy Utensils. - In no ‘ther work is there as great a de- mand for cleanliness as in the three parts of the dairy business, milk, butter and cheese. The most attention is needed to maintain the cleanliness of the tnilk receptacles, such as pails,. pans,, , cans and churns. In the first place there should be n sufficient sup- ply of pans that those emptied and washed in the morning need not be used until even- ing or the next day. After washing they should be placed in the sunlight -until used. On cloudy days they can be thoroughly dried about the stove and not nested when they are wet, and llowed to thus remain for several hours, as in that condition they cannot dry, and when separated at night they will give off a disagreeable odor, and the warm milk placed in 'them is certain to be contaminated. ' All tin -.dairy utensils should be first washedin boiling Water, then thoroughly rinsed in clean cold water, and turned bottom side up to drain and dry until again used. All vessels about the dairy should be cleaned as soon as emptied, and not allowed to stand neglected for hours thereafter. The shelves, benchs and I racks upon which the pans' are set should be washed with soap and water every time they are cleared. Even a few drops of milk allowed to remain on them to mold or gum up with butter fat would prove un- healthy, and detrimental to (the milk in the same apartment. Where only a few I cows are kept the same scrupulous cleanli- ! ness should be observed. The surface of the butter in the tubs should be covered with a cloth saturated with strong brine, both during and after the filling is com- pleted. Locate the filled tube in a cool, dark portion of the cellar, examine once a week, and if the brine is found ' oozing through the staves, it should be wiped away and not allowed to remain and stain the wood, giving it a most uninviting look. • Short Yarrows. The most valuable farm product is a happy family. One never grows fat by having to eat his own words. The wind never blows to suit the man who rises late. "Silence is golden" when talk keeps you from work, Kicking a horse is a poor way to make a friend of him. The easiest way to appear wise is to keep your mouth shut. The road to ruin often looks as if it led to the land of plenty. The fifth that never eats flies is not apt to be caught on a hook. Trying to keep cows tat that have no other protection from the winter's cold than the leewe,rd side of a straw pile is like try- ing to warm up all out of doors with * No. 7 heating stove. Some men never practice economy except when they are buying for their wives. It you want to learn to grow rich many, go sit at the feet of some old codger who never made a cent in his life. • A Blanket of.Snow. A winter covering of snow for the fields, grass or grain, is extremely beneficial, pre- venting deep freezing of the soil, keeping the plants and their roots at an almost urn - form temperature, and the almost daily freezing and thawing that occurs on land not thus protected. The covering of snow should be made as uniform as possible by placing branches of 'evergreens Or any other obstruction about the open spaces in fields and especially upon the knolls and other ' elevations where the wind sweeps away the fallen snow. These Obstructions need net be placed in position Until the ground is frozen solid, when other farm work is not preuing, and should there be an open, win- ter the protection afforded by the obstrue• tions alone will amply repay the labor and expense. • IM l'OR.TANT NOTICES.
