On the 10th day of August he was at work at the bottom of an oil wel\ derrick, when a three-quarter inch iron bar 21 feet long, cut off square at the end, fell from the top of the derrick, 74 feet, striking him on the neck, passing through the body and coming out below the left nipple, entering the body at the thigh and coming out three and three- quarter inches above the knee, passing on down, severing the little toe from the left foot and sinking 18 inches into the ground. Over 3) feet of this rough iron rod passed through the body, and after •becoming unconscious some fellow- workmen discovered what had hap­ pened, and laid the poor sufferer down and extracted tb«e iron bar by pulling it •out. No one thought that he would live sun hour, but he recovered. . , TOPICS FOR FARMERS The Facts in the Case.

Farmer's Friends. Jjaet spring 1 planted a slxteen-acre field in corn; Part of the field had been mowed the year before and part had been pastured after harvest. The cutworms cut a great deal of it off. Some of this was replanted and some not, being afraid I would get it too thick. To give you some Idea how thick they were I will relate a little incident which occurred one morning when I went out to see if the squirrels were taking up the corn. I was on the point of returning home when I saw a little ground squirrel running tip a stump and sitting down to sun himself. I thought it was my chance. I shot him, but before he died be threw everything out of his bowels which he had secured for his breakfast, and much to my surprise I failed to find any corn but numerous worms. Upon counting I found exactly twenty-one; mostly cutworms. I have not killed any ground squirrels since. And I, therefore, think that the squirrel Is the farmer's friend. : y The corn did not do - well all sum­ mer and began to dry up very early. When we were cutting it, 1 noticed wherever the grub-worm had bothered it a hole had been dug around ths stock, and I wondered what could be the cause, when some one suggested the skunk as being the cause in its search of worms. I have come to the conclusion that had the ground squir­ rels and skunks been a little plentier we would have had more than 350 bushels of corn on sixtfeen acres. What do the readers think?--New York Wit­ ness. cFeedlng Unhnaked Corn. Some farmers have learned that ears of corn merely broken from the stalk and unhusked are eaten by cattle with less likelihood of injury than.if corn is husked and fed on the ear, the usual way. The husk makes a porous addi­ tion to the ration and prevents the grain from fermenting. But when corn is snapped from the stalk, there is a hard, rough stub at the butt of the ear that has little nutrition, and may very easily be injurious. If the stock is valuable, it. will pay for the. extra cost of busking and grinding the corn, in the greater amount of nutrition the animals will get from their food. Marketing Grapes. Grapes, like other fruits, need to be carefully handled to bring the best prices. The vines needTto be gone over frequently during the ripening season, gathering only those with full color, because grapes do not, like other fruits, color after being gathered. The bunch­ es should be cut'off with a pair of scis­ sors and so handled as not to disturb the bloom. Ordinary varieties may be at once packed from the vines into the basket that is Intended for sale. Choice varieties should be gathered in shallow trays or baskets, in which they should stand a day or two on shelves in/the fruit house, and then re-packed. By this treatment the stems,will wilt, and the bunches will then keep without molding and pack more closely than when green.--Canadian Horticulturist. Cold Soil. What is usually called "cold" soil is due mostly to excess of water which finds no outlet by sinking into it, and is forced to evaporate from the surface. This takes so much heat from the soil that vegetation will not grow readily In it. Hence the cold soil is very often thin as well, coming quickly to the clay on which it rests. If this clay is un- derdrained air and frost will pulverize it, enabling deep-rooted plants to pene­ trate the soil and enrich it. So long as soil is filled with stagnant water it will only support ferns and mosses, whose roots run near the surface. Sortina Apples. The ease and convenience in assort­ ing apples can be greatly enhanced by using a table constructed for the pur­ pose as follows: Length feet, width 8y2 feet, height 3 feet. The top should consist of canvas or oilcloth securely nailed to the frame, strips three inches wide of inch stuff, and, for conveni­ ence, openings should be left in each corner large enough to admit a half bushel basket. These rest on supports fastened to the legs of the table, the latter being made three inches wide and two inches thick, all well braced. The writer can vouch for the ease, comfort and facility of the work per­ formed by its aid, and could not be in­ duced to return to the tiresome, back- aching method of sorting on the ground. £fot being patented, they are free to all, and are truly a great acqui­ sition, not only in the apple orchard but are desirable for handling pears and quinces as well.--Farm and Vineyard. Burying Loose Rubbish. It is well to have in the garden in winter an open trench, into which may be thrown the waste from the house that would otherwise lie around as rub­ bish. The earth thrown out of this trench may be used to receive the waste from chambers, and being ex­ posed to frequent freezing and thaw­ ing, this soil, when thrown over the rubbish in the trench, will be an ex­ cellent place to plant the very earliest vegetables. By having these trenches made in different parts of the garden each fall, In time the^ £oil of the entire garden will be deepened, thus greatly increasing its productivenessi ' with R.H Sauer>, Hose Cliy,Mich. reus of people afflicted RHEUMATISM Pnow In Forests. There Is no place on the farm where a uniform level of snow is so sure as in the forest, and hardly anywhere it does more good. The uniform depth of snow melting and sinking in the soil supplies the trees with water, and at the same time prevents the deep freez­ ing which injures the roots of trees and often destroys them. Whenever wood is to be got out of forests sleds on a good snowfall can be loaded much easier than wagons, and can be got out of the woods with less labor and danger of breakage. Snow in maple groves delays the beginning of sugar making, but it also protracts the flow of sap, besides making it more abund­ ant. After a cold winter, with little snow, there is always a short and poor maple sugar crop. Early Potatoes in Gardens. Almost every farmer's garden has its patch of early potatoes, planted there because usually the garden is plowed earlier than any other land equally rich. It often happens that these garden po­ tatoes come year after year on the same soil. Xo amount of manuring will make this successful. In fact, the excessive amount of stable manures predisposes the potatoes to rot, espe­ cially as the spores of the disease may be left In the soil from .the previous year's crop. Besides, these garden po­ tatoes are always an early marl: for the potato beetles, which have prob­ ably wintered under the rubbish and weeds that the garden too often fur­ nishes, or under the fence that eur- HE WAS IITTEO. <o*i: Incident in the Li^pf Henry Lauren Clinton. jjint of the man> the bar ls glven All interesting q.| nerof the admissl by Henry Lauren Clinton In a recent volume of reminiscences. He was one of about a hundred^ipllcants, arrang­ ed alphabetically Afti-a class, which brought him aboqt twelfth or fifteenth from the head, anqj^he examiner was Charles O'Conor, Jjie famous New York lawyer. ' . Mr. O'Conor was jj believer above all things in clearness ̂ nd common sense. He might pardon ai,young man for not knowing something but he had no mercy on any one who made a guess at knowledge. He opened the examina- . Frnit Trees by the Roadside. Tell us If you know any good reason for planting maples, elms and the like along the roadsides in place of, the practically useful cherries, chestnuts,, walnuts and other fruit trees, espe­ cially out in the country where the depredations of fruit-hungry city boys are not much to be feared. Of if one must have forest trees, why not the linden, that will after a while enable our bees to gather the choicest honey in abundance? When a Spaniard eats a peach or pear by the roadside, wherever he is, he digs a hole in the ground with his foot and covers the seed. Consequently, all over Spain by the roadside and elsewhere, fruit in great abundance tempts the taste and may be picked and eaten by anybody. This fruit is a great boon to tired and thirsty travelers.--The Gar­ den. One Dollar tbe Averace. Experiments made in different GCC- tions show that the cost of feeding a hen one year is about $1, and that the profit is about the same, the gross re­ ceipts from the hen being about $2 a year. Of course, this varies according to the breed, cost of food and location, being sometimes more and sometimes less; but it is accepted that $1 pays tbe cost and ?1 profit is made from each hen. With small flocks, where table scraps are put to use and when the labor is of but little value, the cost is reduced and the profits larger.--Poul­ try Keeper. Poultry Pickings. Always select the cream of your flock for breeders. It pays to Improve. There is not one-half the amount of labor in keeping fowls in health as there is in trying to cure disease. Do away with condiments and condi­ tion powders; each tends to weaken in­ stead of strengthen your poultry. Don't fail to supply your birds with plenty of grit. Bear in mind it takes push and grit to make poultry profita­ ble. Farm Notes. There is no black grape to-day su­ perior to the Concord for general pur­ poses. It Is the universal market grape. It may be a long while before a superior variety comes to the front. Much of the manure hauled on farms Is not worth the labor of so doing. Hun­ dreds of farmers haul straw several miles to livery stables, and haul a lot of dirty straw home, valuing it as ma­ nure. Wherever there is a low place be­ side the road accumulating the wash from the roadbed the soil will prob­ ably be rich enough to pay for plowing up and carting into adjoining fields. This will improve the road n* well, as it makes a place into whi its sur­ plus moisture will flow. A sheltered yard would be very ser­ viceable in winter. This may be se­ cured by the use of boards or by grow­ ing an evergreen hedge around the in- closure. to serve as a windbreak. If the cold winds can be kept from stock they can stand quite a low degree of cold and enjoy themselves in the open air. A Pennsylvanian has a simple plan of feeding bees. As he has never lost a colony that had a queen and enough bees to keep it warm, the plan Is worth testing. He makes candy of granulated sugar and pours this Into shallow pans. When cool he lays It on top of the frames right over a cluster of bees. Low-down wagons with wide metal wheels are being used with good re­ sults, as they are more easily loaded and the wide wheels do not cut up the roads, but assist to pack the surface. \> ide wheels are not necessarily heavy, as improvements in wheels have gain­ ed width and lightness, metal being substituted for the heavy hubs and spokes to be found in wheeft made of wood. « \ There is much work on the faqm that can now be more cheaply dope by steam power, even though*""^ leave horses idle in the stable. The horse has saved man much labor now let man uSe the cheaper devices of modern in­ vention to save the horse whenever this Is possible. There is no danger that steam power will supersede horse power, for the latter can be used in ways that will be pleasanter for the farmer, besides being less expensive. There are plenty of uses for the horse that the steam engine cannot fill. Taxing Mines in Minnesota. An effort is being made In the Legis­ lature of Minnesota to have the Iron mines of the State taxed for some­ thing approaching their real valua­ tions. As illustrations of the present methods, it is said that one of the es­ timated value of about $10,000,000 is assessed at less than $225,000, and an­ other capitalized at $10,500,000 is as­ sessed for $305,000. Still another, world famous for its great value, is taxed for less than $170,000. There is something about a girl with money in her own right that is awfully hard to resist.

Again Mr. O'Conc# passed on with­ out remark to the- n'ext, a\}d that un- fortuuate carried t.Wlmistake still far ther. So' it went'Bii down the row, becoming steadily"%ore complicated, elaborate and abst^rct with each reply, until young Clintdir Vas reached, by which time Mr. O'tkinor's ingenuity in framing questions1 $h that particular case was nearly exhausted. "Do you agree, Clinton," he ask ed, "with those in the class above you?" "No. sir." was tfi&1 reply. "Suppose such proceedings as those above you in the tlfliss described had been taken, and ytm were retained on the other side; whSS' steps would you take? riease stafe them in their or­ der." "First, I would ,apply to strike the attorney from the'roil who applied for tbe order of arrest. ' Second, I would have the judge w6'6p"granted the order of arrest impeached"; and " "Bring an action ;'for false imprison ment against all parties?" interrupted the examiner. , ift "Yes, sir!" responded Mr. Clinton; and then for the 'iirst time the crest­ fallen young meri'ttbove him realized their blunder, autf'tliat it would not do to take anything for granted in the presence of Charl^ O'Conor. Shortly after tUgt/fxamination Clin ton and O'Conor r^ocame acquainted and were soon oivvery friendly terms, though the elder,(lawyer did not re­ member having me};, him before. But five or six yearsnlater, at a dinner where both were present, O'Conor told the story of that lamination as "one of the best things.^e ever knew," giv­ ing Clinton's answers word for word A friend of both inquired, "Who was the young man t'iiat made such an­ swers?" O'Conor replied that he did not know. "Bqt Hyjierever he is, if he lias not yet reached the head of the pro­ fession, I have ncffdoubt he is well on in that direction." "Mr. O'Conor," sjtid the friend, turn ing to Mr. Clinton, "permit me to In­ troduce you to th^| ̂ voung man!" an In­ troduction which the interested guests received with.laughter and applause.-- Youth's Companion, ' * Dangerous Habit. The spitting habit and Its danger to public health was^ the subject of an elaborate report lately made by the pathologists of the Board of Health of New York City. Aside from the breach of good manners iitfvblved In public ex pectoration, the nfc*ed of sanitary regula­ tions to protect pl&'ees and conveyances used by the comlhunity at large is ob­ vious. rf ' The germs of different diseases, such as consumption, diphtheria, influenza and the like, are'&mtained in the ex­ pectoration of pet-sons suffering from them, and these maladies may be in duced in others Who come in contact with this offensive matter. These con­ siderations show 'the necessity of abat­ ing a public nulsahce, which is at the same time the means of diffusing dan­ gerous and infectious material. It may be of service to quote from the report what these specialists say about one terrible disease:, JO "It has been shown with reference to diphtheria that mild cases are frequent ly not recognized'and are not regarded as diphtheria, While the diphtheria bacilli present iiiothe throat secretion may, if trans^itltod, produce as viru­ lent diphtheria in other persons as the bacilli from tlie severest types of the disease. These cases are often not confined to tbeir'^fiomes at any period of the affect{onv Also, during conval­ escence from mofe severe attacks, often for several weeks the throat secretions may contain 'Virulent diphtheria bacilli." The expectoration of a person whose case Is repor^pd k& "mild" may thus in­ duce the disease lu a. form terrifying to the community. It would be we.ll for men and boys who "cannot help^spltting" to note the fact that few women and girls are guilty of the vicjfous practice. Oldest Marriage Proposal.

Jewell, of 96 Hill avenue, Indian- , apolis, Ind., who is Well known to the dramatic profession, when a boytoF'TT years old enlisted in Company H. 13th In­ diana Volunteer Infantry, the first three years regiment that marched to the ftont from the Hoosier State. In the fall of 1862 he was honorably discharged, be­ cause of disabilities contracted in the ser- tice. After a short time spe«t at home he went to New York and entered col- lege. He was a bright young fellow, a diligent student and a great future seem- edopening before him. But he again heard the bugles and the fires of patriotism were again aglow in his bosom. He enlisted as a recruit in Company M of the 2d Har­ ris Light Cavalry, Kilpatvick's famous old regiment, and was soon again at the front. There was a great demand for cavalry in V irginia, and the active-young trooper found plenty of lighting up and down the Shenandoah Valley and in the various campaigns on the Potomac. In 1864 he attracted the notice of the dash­ ing and dauntless Custer, and was select­ ed as one of his famous body guard, in which he served until the close"of the war. After the war Mr. Ye well began to be known as r. skilled newspaper writer, and (SOrrespondent. and lie was later in de­ mand as a theatrical writer and press agent, a profession in which he achieved signal siicess,. He was a hero in private life as he had been on the field and. in the camp, and few of those who knew the genial and versatile Sol. Ye well had any idea that he was a great sufferer from diseases and disabilities, contracted dur­ ing the war. Such, however, was the fact. He suffered from rheumatism, hemorrhoids and chronic tonsilitls for years. "As if these were not enough," said Mr. Y'ewell. the other day, at the Marion Home, relating his experience to the reporter, "1 was doomed to fall a vic­ tim to the grip in 1890. This last fell monster accentuated all my previous trou­ bles and added, seemingly, half a dozen new ones. It was in November of that year that I was compelled to give up work and came to the Marion Home. Creeping paralysis or locomotor ataxia developed, and in 1892 I went to the hospital, where I remained for several months. My con­ dition became so alarming that the sur­ geons here, who are my very good friends, were eompelled -to admit they could do nothing for me. My locomotor ataxia was attended with vertigo and I was lia­ ble to fall at any unexpected moment. The surgeons having nothing else in mind recommended that last resource--a change of climate. So in May, 1894, I went to Boston, Mass. I had secured employment at the Columbia Theater there as press writer, as I was determined to do some­ thing. I remained there two seasons. . "My vertigo and paralysis continued to distress me greatly. I consulted a num­ ber of eminent physicians in Boston and became a patient at the Harvard College clinic on Bennett street. The surgeons there appeared to desire to make much of me as a patient and 1 was willing. One day a doctor there gave me a box of pills. The wrapper and all identifying marks were gone, but the coating of the pills was of a pink color. "I had scarcely used the box before, much to my surprise, I found that the lo­ comotor ataxia was leaving me. On the second box the vertigo entirely disappear­ ed, my paralysis or locomotor ataxia was gone and I began to have my old-time confidence in myself. Yes, all these ail­ ments under which I had suffered were leaving me. 1 used about four boxes of these pills before I knew what they were. At the close of the dramatic season of 1895 I took a vacation, going up into the White Mountains and into Northern Ver­ mont. I asked my doctor and insisted upon knowing the name of the wonderful pills that he had been giving me. He laughed and said. 'I have been giving you a remedy called Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People.' "I' said. 'I think they are the best medi­ cine I. ever took, and I can directly trace to them all the benefit that I have re­ ceived. I should have said that along with my other afflictions I was at times seriously troubled with a valvular affec­ tion of the heart, but the pills have prov­ en to be a splendid remedy for that also. I certainly believe they strengthen and correct the nction of that organ." Mr. Yewell lias a clear, fresh complex­ ion, the hue of health, weighs 220 pounds, has a first-class appetite, and, to use his own words: "I sleep like a top." He is 52 years old, and while Williams' Pills have not made a young man they have restored him so that he bids fair to see many years of usefulness. "I will leave here soon," were his part­ ing words to the reporter, "as I have an offer to go to Boston and take up my old theatrical work." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shatter­ ed nerves. They are for sale by all drug­ gists, or may be had by mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y., for 50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50. Two Cents' Worth of Gas. In a lecture recently delivered at the Royal Victoria Hall, London, Prof. Carl­ ton J. Lambert stated that thirty-seven cubic feet of gas, which is valued at one penny (two cents), and weighs about 1% pounds, can generate about one pound of water when buriaed, and about nineteen cubic feet of carbonic acid. It can heat thirty gallons of water from 50 degrees to 110 degrees for a bath, or it can boil eight gallons of water in good kettles, and make tea for sixty-four persons. It can work u one- horse power gas engine for one hour, or lift a weight of eighty-eight ions ten feet high, doing the work of six men for one hour. It can melt ten pounds- of iron, and make a casting in twenty minutes, which ordinarily would re- quire two hours and thirty pounds of coke. It can braze a metal joint in two minutes, wnich would require twenty minutes In a forge. If burned in a six- inch flue for ventilation purposes, it can induce 80,000 cubic feet of pure air. It can give you a brilliant light (Weisbach incandescent) of fifty caudle ppXvcr for nine hours. It can, in a good radiating stove, comfortably warm a room six­ teen feet square for an hour. It can easily cook a dinner for eight persons.-- Practical Engineer. The Spartan Virtue, Fortitude, Is severely taxed by,dyspepal«.
