STRANGE AFFLICTION A. TOUWO OIRI. TRANSFORMED INTO A PEEVISH OLD WOMAN. Hrr Vitality Destroyed by an Acci dental Shock. Received In an Electric Light Dstabllsliniont. On tlio Hecksvillo rontt, about six miles from (he town of Lorraine, Ohio, lives a fnrmor named Max Hnrroan, who enmo from Pennsylvania about a year ngo, Hnrmnn 's family consists of a wife nnd three children. The oldest, named Mary, is a young lady nineteen years of nijc, who has passed through onu of the strangest and most painful experiences which ever fell to the lot of a human be ing. A short time ajjo she was a plump, rosy-checked jjrirl, in robust health and of a sunny disposition. To-day, through the influence of a most peculiar accident, she is in all but years a shrunken, peevish old woman. The story of this strange liietamorphosis is as follows: Mary was engaged to lie married to a Juan named Jacob Kbertin, who worked for Mr. Harmiin and made his home with the family. About two months ago the young couple came to Cleveland to make nomo purchases and see the sights. One of the young man's friends worked in one of the electric light establishments at the timo. Kbertin proposed to take his future bride through the place and show her the machinery. It appears that a broken wire of her panier or bustle, had, un perceived, worked its way thiough her dress. 'N'hilo passing along the wire came in contact with one of the powerful electric machines, and hrr hand, resting nil an iron bar at the time, completed the current, and she received a severe shock, and fell iuscnsiblo to the floor. In a few moments she revived suf ficiently to bo removed from the place, and was taken to her home. Medical aid was summoned, and for four days the girl lay in bed in a paralyzed condition. Then she regained the use of her limbs, but immediately bcean to lose flesh rapidly, the hair on the left side of her head turned gray, and began falling out. After four weeks Miss 11 arm a a was able to be about, but in that time she bad been transformed from a young, handsome girl into a feeble uld woman. Her form, which had been plump and rounded, was thin and bent, and the skin on her face and body was dry and wrinkled. She had been a sweet tempered, affectionate girl, but is now peevish, irritable and sellish. Her oice is harsh and cracked, and no one to look at her would imagine that she was less than sixty years of age. The Harman family are horrified and well nigh heart-broken by the fate of their once handsome daughter, while young Kbertin is almost frantic over the change in his affianced bride. The physicians claim that the electric current communicated directly with the principal nerves of the spine and left side of the head, and that the shock al most completely destroyed their vitality. Instances in which a person's hair has turned white in a single night from fright, grief or some excessive nervous shock are not rare, but this is supposed to be the first case in medical history in which a person has been known to step from the bloom of vigorous youth into the decrepi tudo of old age within a week. Jfeu York Graphic. Zeal Without Knowledge. A well-known New York lady, whose name is the synonym for all that is benevolent and charitable, especially re garding the helpless and poverty-stricken of her own sex, has her summer home in one of the most beautiful spots on the Hudson, surrounded by forest trees of grc t age and magnificence. It occurred to her last autumn that it would be kind to give to a party of city working-girls an opportunity to go "chestnutting" upon these grounds. But as a matter of fact the chestnuts were then very scarce; yet, not to disappoint the girls, a servant was sent to the city with instructions to pur Tt n a ,husJli'l .nr .iwatvtVthe nuts and scatter them around under the chestnut trees, where they would be most likely to bo found by the visitors. They were found by the merry-hearted young women, and their hostess would have derived great satisfaction from their en joyment and the success of her benevo lent little fraud if she had not chanced to come upon several of them sitting under a tree that clearly was not a chest nut, and heard one of them, who must at some time have lived in the country, dis discoursing after this fashion as they nibbled the nuts: "I say, girls, I can't understand how these boiled chestnuts came to grow on an oak tree?" They don't say "chestnuts" in that household now; they say "ttoiled oak nuts." A Test of Courtesy. De Musset cordially detested dogs. When a candidate for the Academy he called upon a prominent member. At the gate of the chateau a dirty, ugly dog received him most affectionately and in sisted on preceding him into the drawing room, De Musset cursing his friend's predilection 'for the brute. The acade mician entered and they adjourned to the dining room, the dog at their heels. Seizing his opportunity, the dog placed his muddy paws upon the spotless cloth and carried off a bonne bouche. "The wretch wants shooting!" was Pe Mus set's muttered thought, but ho politely said: "You are fond of dogs, I sec?" "Fond of dog!" retorted the academi cian. ''I hute them!" "But this animal here?" queried De Musset; "I have only tolerated it be cause it was yours, sir." "Miue!' exclaimed the poet; "the thought that it was yours alone kept me from killing him." Cutset?). Food of the Canary Islanders. The splendid physical development of the Canary Islanders gives special in terest to their peculiar food. Five-sixths of the inhabitants, according to Dr. C. V. Taylor, subsist almost exclusively upon a fine flour made by grinding roasted wheat, corn or barley. This U called gofio. Being already cooked, it requires no preparation for eating except mixing to any desired consistency with milk, soup or any suitable fluid. Gofio is delicious, wholesome, highly nutri tious, and very convenient to use. For these reasons, and the important one that it seems to remove a tendency to acidity of the stomach, Dr. Taylor re commends the addition of this food to our own already large variety. Hugh Whit tell, a forty-niner, who died recently at Alamenda, Cal., at the age of seventy-seven years, erected his own monument some years ago. It is a splen did marble shaft, bearing his mine and the dates of hU birth and death, and this epitaph: "lie traveled over the first railway ever built in England and crossed the Atlantic iu the first steamship that ever plowed the ocean. He explored many lauds and died iu the fullness of the faith. Amen," FARM AND GARDEN. Pumpkins For Fattening Stock. Ripe pumpkins may be fed to beef came, milch cows and hogs. They stiouia not he allowed to rat the seeds, however, as they have a tendency to stimulate the action of the kidneys. By cutting the pumpkins iu halves, and dashing each half upon the ground the nonow part downward, tho seeds will nearly all fall out if they are ripe. When fed to stock it is better to either cut them fine or merely divide them into halves. If cut in largo square pieces they are liable to choke the animals. A steel barn shovel with a square blade ground to an edge makes a very convenient article for slicing them, and a clean barn floor is as good a place for the operation as can be found. When fed to hogs, it is considered more profitable to boil them, mixing them with menl and a little milk if it can be spared, than to feed raw. The seeds arc as in jurious to hogs as to neat stock. Cultivator. Teas For Milk. Teas have been found an exceedingly effective food for producing milk. In the feeding test of a noted Jersey cow, in which an average of seven pounds of butter daily was given for a week, six teen pounds of pea meal was fed per day. with sixteen pounds of oat meal, and twenty-four pounds of corn meal. Kx cellcnt pasture was nlso provided. This feed would supply an enormous excess of nutritive elements above those re quired for maintenance, giving four and a half times as much albuminoids, three times as much carbo-hydrates, and eight times as much fat as would be required for a cow in ordinary milk. Xo doubt, is a cow can digest sufficient food of tho right kind, oil for instance, a kind of butter might be produced which would far exceed tho enormous product above clnimcd for the Jersey cow. In such a case, a cow would act as a filter and merely separate the fats from the food, and pas it through the udder. There could be nochemical change in the albuminoida or the carbo-hydrates into fat, as is effected in the ordinary feeding of dairy cows, for the system of the cow is uuable to do so much work. The effect of the pea meal in this case was probably due to its effect in enabling the cow to digest the large quantity of corn and grass which was consumed. This effect of sonic food is of great impor tance. Tea meal seems to exert greater effect in this direction than any other food. American Agriculturist. How to Feed Pigs for Profit. Some Wisconsin pig-feeding cxperi ments by a Wisconsin farmer, furnished by Prof. Henry, of the experimental sta tion, for publication in the Wnttrn Far' mer, are interesting. Eight shoats fed on whole grain with warm drink gained in twelve days from February 7 to la an averago of seventeen pounds each, or 18(1 pounds for the w hole, being about one and a half pounds daily. They con sumed in the interval 8.17 bushels of corn, 3.80 of barley, and 0.75 of oats, the later ground and mixed with the water. With corn at 40 cents, barley at 45 cents, and oats at 25 cents, the value of grain was $5.1!), which made the cost per 100 pounds 3.38. From February 19 to March 14, twenty days, another experiment was tried, this time with ground feed half corn, one quarter barley and oue-quaiter oats. The gain was 855 pounds, the quantity of grain cousumed 57 bush els, and its value at above figucs, includ ing $1.0S for grinding, was 11. Hi. The cost of the 355 pounds of grain was at the rate of $3.14 per 100. The average daily gain per hop was 1.03 pound-", and the average total gain for each bushel of grain consumed was 13.14 pounds. The hogs were sold immediately on the con clusion of the last experiment at $5.25 per hundred pounds. The 355 pounds of gain made at a cost of 11.16 worth of grain, therefore, brought $18.(14; and at this rate the corn fed brought 74 cents per bushel, the barley 84 'cents and the oats 45 cents. The figures are especially instructive in showing, first, profitable ness of feeding mixed grain instead of confining hogs to an exclusive corn diet; second, the advantage of grinding feed,' and third, that almost double the market price can be secured from grain by feed ing it to thrifty stock. Wood Ashes. Few persons have a fully realizing sense of the value of wood ashes. A ton of well saved ashes containes 200 pounds of carbonate of potash, worth 12, and 100 pounds of phosphoric acid, worth 0. This phosphoric acid may be called in soluble, but it is in an organic condition, and hence is worth more than the min eral phosphates, because it is more easily made soluble in the soil than these. Eighteen dollars per ton or ninety cents per 100 pounds, or forty cents per bushel, is more than can be obtained for them in any other way ; hence farmers who have them should use them for the soil rather than sell them to the soap or potash makers, and should particularly avoid wasting them. Leached ashes contain ing but little potash, but much limo and magnesia, ajyl about sixty pounds of phosphoric acid, worth 3.00 to the ton, or fifteen cents per bushel for this alone, are well worth buying at the present uiuini-i. rnics. rooatn nou improvident fanners in Canada are selling ashes, which can be bought on our border by the car load, at reasonable prices, and such opportunities of profiting by other men's improvidence should not be neg lected. b A large quantity of ashes can be gath ered together by buiniug the coarse weeds w hich grow about the fences, on the road sides, in woodlands, and on swamps and neglected ground, all of which goes to wate where it docs the least good. French farmers make a prac tice of gathering this waste matter and everything that is combustible and burn ing it in small heaps covered with earth. These heaps are made near together in fields that need fallowing, and the ashes are spread over the surface, affording a most valuable fertilizer, at the same time ridding tho farm of unsightly debris. The writer is now doing tho same thing on a field which is being broken up for fall grain and grass seeding. A large quantity of stuff of various kiuck may be gathered that would be useless incum brances elsewhere. Tusmcks from a low meadow, roots and grubs from a piece of newly cleared land, rotten wood and loose rubbish, ferns from woodland, and abundant ragweed, from grain stubbles newly seeded, mown and ruked up, altogether furnish enough material to af ford 40 or 50 bushels of ashes to the acre. There is leisure for this work even now and favorable opportunity, and it is the onethiug netalful for the fall days when other work is not pressing the forehanded farmer. A'eia Yurie Tinut. Farm and Garden Notes. Barn and farm buildings well separated from the house reduce the risk of fire. Trees, as a rule, have good soil to grow in. Iteiuember this wheu transplanting. Cold storage for fruits appears to be too exacting a process for the average grower, Now is the time to gather and dry "everlasting" flowers for holiday deco rations. Tree planting can be safely performed in localities whero the climate is mild through autumn. Tho pyrus japonic, brilliant in blos soms ami handsome in foliage, is one of the finest and hardiest of shrubs for the lawn. Pigs should have the run of a yard, and should be provided with cut grass, clover, tares or lucerne, says London A writer in the American Garden says that a tomato vine "can bo made to clamber to a height of eight or ten feet." If horses are uniformly well and com fortably bedded, they require tho mini mum amount of currying and brushing to keep them clean. The guinea fowl is recommended as a great forager, and destroys numerous in sects that hens will not touch. Beside, they do not scratch the garden. It has been well said that colts in tended for farm use should be well trained to all kinds of work when two years old, and to light driving before. Mr. Waldo F. Brown well savs that most farmers do not know what really profitable cows they possess, simply be cause they havo never properly fed" and tested them. The Cultivator savs clover hay is very nutritious anyway, but tho second crop, for calves, colts, sheep or milch cows, is worth nearly half as much again as the first. A Massachusetts farmer recommends the Southdown sheep as the best breed for small farmers who would raise their own animal food and become independent of the butcher. The Western Plotrman takes a very sen sible view as to raising nut trees. It predicts that in the future trees good for nothing but wood will bo grubbed out. and walnuts and hickories put in their place. Experiments with commercial fertil izers in England indicate that nitro genous manures appear to be of little use the second season on grass. Super phosphate and kainit had more lasting effect. Chickens are cheaper than beef, and, an exchange remarks, there are no per sons who can better afford to enjoy a good broiled chicken or chicken soup than the farmer, and the late chickens should be put to home use. An exchange suggests that sand may be used to advantage by mixing it with manure, or dusting it over stable floors, or using it as bedding. It prevents tho manure from becoming too compact and lumpy, and makes it like old compost. Dr. Salmon last month told the Society for Promoting Agricultural Science, in New York, that limo will kill the germs of hog cholera. The lime need not be applied at a greater rate than fifty bushels per acre upon land used as a hog pasture. The feeding places of poultry should be spaded up and put in some kind of a crop. They are excellent locations for small gardens, and usually produco well; but if they are not convenient for gar den purposes sow oats on tho ground, then turn on the fowls when the oats are six inches high. A correspondent of the Cultivator favors fertilizing potatoes in the hill: "The well-skilled cultivator knows too well that the great volume of the roots of plants lie near the surface, and that the absorbing roots of any plants are thick est near the plant and decrease about as the square root of the distance increases. Beyond a peradventure the greater por tion of the soil between the rows is not touched by a root, during the time it is being cultivated. As much manure should not be given to a few long roots, as when the roots are very thick." The most suitable soil for rose culture is a strong rich loam, made richer, if necessary, by frequent applications of manure in liquid form. Cultivators use ground bones, soot, wood ashes and sheep manure. Good results are secured through a variety of fertilizers. The soil should be. dug and hoed, not merely to keep down tho weeds, but to insure" the health of tho plant. A good time to stir the surface of the soil is after having thoroughly drenched the rose bed. By this method one prevents the top of the ground from becoming hard. Mr. Henry Klauke, Clough P. O., Hamilton County, Ohio, communicates the following remedy and preventive for hog cholera: When you observe your pigs losing their appetite and seemingly sleepy, give them about half an ounce of pepper dissolved in warm water to the hog. Keep the pens cle-.n and it will turn out ail right. He also gives the following remedy for proud flesh: Open a prune, take out the pit, and apply the flesh side of the prune to the diseased flesh, keeping it bound on. The wound will rapidly get well disappearing in twenty-four hours. The Taylor Brothers of Tennessee. "Bob" and "Alt" Taylor.of Tennessee, visited 'Change this morning. "Bob" is the man who fiddled himself into Con gress when he was only twenty-seven years old, and last year into the Guberna torial chair, with Alf as his opponent. Bob is the Democrat, Alf is the Repub lican, and they look alike and dress alike, except that Bob wears a silk tile and Alf a slouch hat. When as'ted to talk about the politics of Tennessee both will start off, Bob for Democratic success and Alf for Demo cratic defeat. They were never known to agree on any one point except their attachment foreach other. When they were children Bob would eat cake and Alf would cat pickles. Bob will say something good about his party, and Alf will shake his head sor rowfully and remark: "Poor Bob; so young to lose his mind." Alf will say something favorable of his party, and Bob will look at him commis erately and remark : "Who would have ever thought that JAlf would wind up in an insane asylum?" So they kept it up, these two whole souled and brainy brothers, until the crowd around them was convulsed with laughter. Bob says Cleveland will carry Tennes see by 30,000 majority. Alf says Blaine will carry Tennessee by 80,000 majority. "You pays your money and takes your choice." St. lxiui Chronicle. Hints for Modern Barbers. Our Saxon ancestors appear to have devoted considerable attention to the subject of their hair. Thouah ignoraut of macassar oil, they discovered that dead bees burnt to ashes, and seethed in oil with leaves of willow, would stop hair from falling off ; but should the hair be too thick, then must a swallow be burned to ashes under a tile, and the ashes be sprinkled on the head. But in order altogether to prevent the growth of hair, emmets' egs rubbed ou the place are found an elf eetual depilatory ; ' 'never w;u any hair pome there." ftineUenth Cm Thews and notes tor women. Dark blue cashmere garments for girls I are braided with scarlet or pale blue nrai.ls. Velvet appears to be a favorite mate rial for tho waistcoat, collar and cuffs to wool dresses. Black and whito French lace scarfs are revived for tho strings and trimmings of velvet bonnets. Phot moire ribbons, silks and velvets, plushes and wool and silk novelties are a feature in fnbrics. Fancy woolens, combined with plain twilled wools, aro conspicuous among French importations. Tailor-made basques are invariably pointed in front, and much trimmed with fine fancy braids. Mrs. Mackay, wife of the bonanza king, allows herself one hundred and four new gowns a year. The ex Empress Eugenie uses an um brella which cost 2,000. The handle is a mass of splendid gems. The competition among dressmakers nowadays seems to bo which can deviso tho worst looking sleeve. The tendency to make the bodice of one stuff while the skirt and its draperies are ot anotner grows in lavor. The newest bonnets havclqng crowns, and many have long pointed poke fronts filled in with a slight face trimming. Tho amount of braiding on frocks, wraps and garments of all kinds is enor mous, and the braid designs this season are very fine. Wax flowers were first introduced into England by the mother of Mary Beatrice, wife of James II., as a present to her royal daughter. There is in England a society con ducted by ladies for tho promoting of long service among servauts. Valuable prizes are given. Even feathers are made in two-tone ef fects to match the changeable or shot ribbons and stuffs brought out for dress and miliuery purposes. Bustles are no longer worn by pcoplo who can afford to pay skilful dress maker. Bouffant effects are now obtained by springs or rcods set in the dress itself. Miss Grace, an English cricket player, recently stayed at the wicket a whole af ternoon and" scored 217 runs against the good bowling of four men. Tho Empress of China has composed six bundled stanzas of poetry within tho past year, nnd they are said by Chinese critics to be richer than the songs of Persia. Mrs. Langtry says she began to prac tice fencing several years ago because she found it tho best substitute for tho exer cise she had been accustomed to in hei long walks. Jackets mado of the same material as tho dress must be tight-fitting, those suitable for wear with any dress may be loose-fitting in front, but must set suugly to the back. Mrs. John W. Mackay is having a cloak mado from the breasts of birds of paradise. Thcso cost thirty shillings each, nnd about five hundred birds will bo necessary. Tho women of New York have been granted more patents than their Bisters in any other State. Tho womcu of Mass achusetts, Ohio, Indiana and Wisconsin rank next in order. . Camel's hair shawls are coming into fashion again for the reason that tho manufacture has practically become a lost art, and they ore getting to be exceed ingly hard to obtain. The Greek styles of coiffure do not be come popular. Tho fact is they require more hair than most "modern womeu of these degenerate days" eitherjiave nat urally or feel like buying at present high prices. A new idea in jewerly is that of set ting single stones of all sorts and sizes in a plain crown setting, so arranged that they can be sewn on bands of velvet in such combinations as may suit the owner's fancy, and thus utilized cither as bracelets or "dog-collar" necklaces. In Finland, according to Bayard Tay lor, the women resent as an insult a sa lute upon the lips. A Finnish matron, hearing of our English custom of kiss ing, declared that did her husband at tempt such a liberty she would treat him with such a box on the ears that he should not readily forget. Both black and white lace is used as strings and as trimmings on the winter bonnets The milliners, as usual, think French lace quite choice enough for this purpose; but one may use something better if one has it. Since that Alen con bonnet of Queen Victoria appeared, anything seems allowable. A Parisian wig maker is selling switches so mounted that they may be worn as a long rippling wave that would make a mermaid envious. These are to be used when one is walking up and down the beach to dry one's hair next summer, which, having been covered with oilskin, is not wet, and is combed in with her false tresses. Trades Unions in China. The trades unions are generally com posed of retail traders and artisans, and are of a more modern date, than the mer chant guilds, few of them being a cen tury old, says the St. JnmcJt Otuttte. With regard to mechanics the unions are generally composed of masters and work men, united as against society. In some trades where workmen are numerous journeymen have their own combinations, but generally, wheu they have occasion to combine against employers (of which instances are rare), they meet in some temple, commence a strike, peacefully ac complish their object and disband. Oc casionally the unions enforce their de crees iu a terrible manner. The Gold beater Union of Soochow the Athens of China some time ago wreaked a ter rible vengeance on onu of their craft. Gold leaf was needed to an unusual amount for the Emperor. One of tho craft represented to the magistrate that if he were allowed to take a number of ap prentices the work would be greatly ex pedited, and having obtained permission he proceeded to engage a great many ap prentices, violating thereby a law of the trade which disallowed an employer to take more than one apprentice at a time. His conduct infuriated the ctaft, and the word passed round: "Biting to death is not a capital offence." One hundred aud twenty-three of them rushed on tne mis erable man, each taking a bite. Death soon relieved the victim of the fiendish rancor. To make sure that none shirked duty on that occasion, no one was al low sd to quit the shop whose bloody lips and gums did not attest to his fidelity. The murderer who took the first bite was discovered and beheaded. He Wasn't Anxious. "Oh, John !" suid Mrs. Smith, tear fully, "ma litis cut her thumb dreadfully and tho doctor says there's danger of lockjaw." "lie ueedu't be afraid of that," re plied (smith, sarcastically; "she'll never give it a chance to lock." HeteYork Hun. A Revival la Headgear. A revival of an almost forgotten fashion is said to be impending in the French capital. The Parisian exquisite is about to appear on his beloved boulo vards in the headgear affected by John Bull in the early years of tho present century. If tho forthcoming hat is not actually made of "beaver," it will bo simply on account of the increasing scarcity of the animal, which is gradually disappearing before the encroachments of Western civilization. But the beaver is not "gone" yet; and with only that amount of encouragemont which is afforded by the absence of constant molestation, he would soon again largely contribute to tho world's store of valu able furs. The mighty hunters who aro now beginning to penetrate the few re maining sanctuaries of animal life would do well to remember in time tho fable of the goose and the golden eggs. Unless some breathing space is now permitted to it in its principal settlements, the ex tinction of the beaver is within a very easily measurable distance. In America the prices of beaver skins have risen from 3 to 5 each during the last six years. A consignment of fur, not long since, shipped from Winnipeg by the Hudson's Bay Company, represented tho destruc tion of over .1,000 beavers, which ex ceeded that of all other fur-yielding animals of the district, with the one ex ception of the marten. It would be an infinito pity if this most interesting creature were to be wiped out of the book of nature. . Paid In field Coin. In Dec., issa, l.s. Johnson A Co., S3 Custom Hons St., Hiwton.
