♦' Easily Samoa's First Citizen."
The Department of Btate at Wash
ington has received a dispatch from
Consul-General Mulligan at Apia, re
porting tho death of Robert Louis
Stevenson. He writes: "It is with
profound sorrow and a sincere sense
of direct personal loss that I report
the sudden and wholly unexpected
death of the distinguished author and
great novelist, Robert Louis Steven
son, which took place at his residence,
Vailiina, near this place, at 8.10 p. m.
on Monday, the 3d inst., from astroko
of npoplexy received about an hour
and :i half before, while seated at his
own hospitable table.
"Aside from his world wide reputa
tion in literature, Mr. Stevenson was
easily the first citizen of Samoa, and
the centre of its social life. As is so
widely known, he was very frail, but
within the last few months had become
stronger and apparently more vigor
ous than ever before. His hospitality
was on a splendid scale, and was
equally constant and unfaltering.
"His remains wero interred on tho
very summit of the mountain over
looking his late homo at 1 o'clock yes
terday, whither they were borne with
inliuito difficulty by tho willing hands
of n great number of Samoane." —

(From the St. Louis Chronicle.)
One of tho most conspicuous figures in the
Stageland ot America to-day is John W. Nor
ton. Born in the seventh ward o( New York
City forty-six years ago, tho friends of his
youth wero Thomas W. Keono ond Frank
Chanfrau. We find Keene a star at the age
ot 25 and Norton in the flower of early man
hood the leading mau for Edwin Booth at
the famous Winter Oardeu Theatre. He
was starred with Lnwrenoo Barrett early in
the 70s, and alternated tho leading roles
with Charles Thome at tho Variety Theatro
in Now Orleans. Early lu tho Centennial
year, in Louisville, Norton mot our Mary
Anderson, thon a fair young girl who aspired
for stage fame, took her under his guldanoo
and, as everybody knows, led her to fame.
Mr. Norton is now the proprietor of tho
Grand Opera Houso in Bt. Louis, tho Du
Quesne Theatre, Pittsburg, and one of tho
stockholder* in tho American Extravaganza
Com pany.
Ono afternoon early in Juno ho hobbled
Into his New York OlTlee on Broadway nnd
encountered his business manager, George
McManus, who had also boon a rheumatic suf
ferer for two years. Norton was surprised
that McManus had discarded his cane. Who
cured you? ho asked. "I cured myself," re
plied McManus, "fflth Dr. Williams' rink
Pills."
"I was encouraged by Mr. McManus' cure
and ns a last resort tried tho Pink Pills my
self," said Mr. Norton to a Chronicle re
porter. "You have known mo lor five years
nnd know how I have suffered. Why, dur
ing tho slimmer of 1893 I was on my baok at
tho Mullnnphy Hospital, in tills city, four
weeks. I was put ou tho old systom of diet
ing, with a view to clearing thoso acidulous
properties in my blood that medical theorists
say is tho cause of my rheumatism. I left
tho Hospital feeling stronger, but tho first
damp woather brought with it thoso excru
ciating pains in the legs aud back. It was
the same old trouble. After sitting down
for a stretch of flvo minutes tho pains
screwed my logs into a knot when I arose,
and I hobbled as painfully as ever. After I
had taken my first box of Pink Pills it struck
mo that the pains wfcre less troublesome. I
tried another box, nnd I began almost un
consciously to have latth In tho Pink Pills.
I improved so rapidly that 1 could rise after
pitting at my desk lor au hour and the
twinges of rheumatism that accompanied my
rising were so mild that I scarcely noticed
them. During the past two weeks wo have
had much rainy weather in St. Louis. Hut
tho dnmpnoss has not had tho slightest effect
in bringing back the rheumatism, which 1
consider a sufficient and rellablo test of tho
efficacy of Pink Pills. I may also say that
tho Pink Pills have acted as a tonic on my
stomach, which I thought was well nigh de
stroyed by tho thousand aud ouo alleged
remedies 1 consumed in the past flvo years."'

LOSING USE OF LAND.
Bmall fruit growers ought to fertil-!
ize their land thoroughly, and when
this is done they should keep it al
ways producing something. If the
strawberry patch is running out,
cither the red or black cap raspberry
can be planted the rows. In
this way the year after tho strawberry
plantation is cultivated under the
raspberry canes will bo in full bear
ing. It is tho same with tho larger
fruits. A young apple or pear orch
ard will grow strawberries, raspber
ries and blackberries nearly as well as
if the orchard were not planted until
it gets fully into bearing,—Boston
Cultivator.
GALLED SHOULDERS.
Galls of all kinds are best treated as
Boon ns they occur, or they may be
difficult to heal, especially when tho
gall is on tho top of tho shoulder, as
in this case the bruising of tho mus
cle may causo interior inflammation
that may result in an abscess difficult
to heal. Hot fomentations of the part,
followed by a poultice when tho skin
is not broken, but only a swelling,
with soreness, is to be seen. When
tho skin is broken the beet application
is calomel dusted on the raw place.
This will form a protecting crust,
under which the soro will heal; but
the horso should rest until the skin is
formed over it. Then some protec
tion should bo given by a cushion
over tho tender part. 111-fitting 00l-
Jars or harness will surely produce
these sores, and therefore should not
be used.—New York Times.
IMPROVEMENT OF BEES.
It is argued that by exercising the
principle of selection tho different
strains of bees may be bred up just as
well as horses and cattlo nnd the type
of beo greatly improved. For in
stance, suppose we havo six hives of
bees, the result from each may bo
very different. At tho beginning of
tho honey season wo placo upon each
a "super." Two of our six Btoeks
start ahead with a will, and fill their
"supers" as fast as they aro replaced.
The other four perhaps refuso to
euter, or after all only partially fill
their "supers." Then they may oßeh
swarm two or three times, thus furn
ishing us with an iuereaso from which
we hopo to havo great results in the
future.
But our apiary has not been in
creased with a typo of beo whoso in
stincts lead them to amass honoy far
in excess of their needs, but with a
typo whoso naturo impels them to
start new colonics, and thus this type
will be strongly impressed upon tho
bee lifo of tho future in our apairy.—

TELLING THE AGE OF CATTLE.
It is well known that tho most com
mon way for anyone to tell the ago of
a cow is to look at the wrinklos on her
horns, but as dehorning scorns to be
so much in vogue now-a-days this will
harilly hold good in a great many
cases. The Berlin Agricultural Asso
ciation gives tho following rule as re
liable to tell the age of cattlo by their
toeth; Chango of teeth begins, as a
rule, at the ago of ono nnd a half
yoors, when tho milk middle front
teeth aro shed and replaced by tho
permanent front- tcoth, which come
completely into position at tho end of
tho second year. At two and a half
years, as a rule, the inner milk front
teeth fall out, and their successors aro
fully in uso towards tho closo of tho
fourth year. From four and a quar
ter to four and a half years tho milk
teeth continue to fall out, and their
successors are in u6o at the end of tho
fifth year. Animals got in calf boforo
the end of their twentieth month have
tho chango of tooth hindered, while it
takes place sooner in early maturing
breeds, especially the Shorthorns.—
New York Witness.
now TO MAKE DAIRYING PAT.
This was tho subject of a paper read
by B. P. Morton, at ono of the lowa
Dairymen's Association meetings. Iu
it ho stated that ho is milking twenty
nine cows, and makes3l3J pounds of
butter per cow. His butter is all
shippod to tho cities of Duluth aud
New Orleans, and nets him twenty
four and one-half cents by the year,
an average of 870,66 per cow. The
food consumed by each cow he esti
mates to bo worth anywhere from S3O
to $35, and that the skim milk ho re
ceives pays for all labor. Ho feeds
ensilago the year round, pasture in its
season, and grain about seven months
in tho year; tho grain being barley,
oats and corn in equal quantities, tho
whole being ground together. This
composition is mixed half and half
with bran, aud oaoh oow is given a
peck measure full twico a day. Tho
cows have all tho fresh, clean water
they care to drink, which is given
them in tho barn. A separator, he
finds, is ono of tho best investments a
dairyman can make, claiming that it
will pay to buy ono if only six or
sevon good cows arc kept.—New York
Witness.
V
BLANKETS FOB HOUSES.
Tho horso stablo should bo so built
that its occupants will be comfortably
warm at all times in winter, and cool
in summer. Stabla blankets should
not bo required ou even the coldest
days, as tho closing of tho ventilators
during tho severest storms should
keep in sufficient heat. But it is
cruelty to take o horse out of a warm
stablo into freezing winds, aud neither
blanket him nor permit him to keep
himself warm by the rapid exercise
which he naturally desires. When
ever a horso has to stand still outdoors
in winter weather ho should be closely
blankoted.
Wool is the test material for blank
ets, thiu in summer, thick i i winter,
but it is often desirable to have some
cotton or linen threads one way of the
i fabric, to prevent tearing nnd shrink
mg.
! The btaaket should bv tiUed to the
size and the form of the horse, and
should have sufficient straps to keep
it oloso and snug to his body which
will prevent it sliding to the ground
on one side to bo trampled fand torn,
nstead of protecting the horse.
A rubber or oil eloth rain blanket
should cover tho woolen one in oold
wet weather, and be worn alone in tho
warmer rains both winter and summer.
Both blankets are useful during win
ter storms, for horses which are in
motion, adding an extra woolen blan
ket whenever the horse has to stand
still.
. In summer linen or cotton blankets
may bo worn to keep off the flies and
sun, though leather or linen nets are
generally the best protection.
Whenever a horso has to stand still
after rapid exercise he should be blan
keted to prevent chilling, whether
profusely sweating or merely warm.
Though most horses aro hardier than
men both aro subject to many of the
same diseases upon exposure, and both
require extra protection against severe
or changeable weather. The man will
generally take care of himself, but the
horso usually can not do so, unaided.
Whenever a man needs extra exercise
or wrap 3 to keep warm, his horse
needs extra protection.—Farm, Field
and Fireside.
BEBBY BULLETIN,
On an acre of rich, well cultivated
land there may bo grown five hundred
dollars' worth of berries, says M. A.
Thayer, Sparta, Wis. Every enter
prising farmer, with a little effort,
has within his reach a continuous sup
ply of healthful fruits. On every farm
large, luscious berries may be grown at
the rate of two hundred bushels per
acre. If less is produced, we may
look for tho following causes, and
briefly suggest a remedy:
First, land defloient in fertilizer, or
plant food. Apply fino composted
manure, plow undor and top dress.
Also ashes broadoast.
Second, improper preparation of
soil. Plow deeply and harrow until
fine, light and mellow. Extra prep
aration makes plant food moro avail
able.
Third, varities not ndapted to your
soil and climate. Use only such as
has been well tested in your locality,
or recommended by responsible par
ties.
Fourth, poor plants. Buy only
best hardy, vigorous plants from re
sponsible growors. Nover sot poor
plants.
Fifth, careless sotting of plants.
Nover expose plants to sun and wind
beforo setting. Have roots well spread,
and tine dirt firm about them.
Sixth, too many plants, in hill or
row. Freservo only strong, vigorous
plants, give each room to develop and
perfect its fruit. Prune soverely.
Seventh, imperfect fertilization.
There is sex in plants. Pistilates (fe
male) must havo staminates set with
them to insure good crops.
Eighth, noglect in cultivation. The
ground at all times should bo fine,
mellow and free from weeds.
Ninth, no protection. Muoh in sum
mer with coarso manure, grass or
greon clover, in winter by a suitable
protection against extreme cold. In
tho Northwest, laying bush borries
down and covering with dirt.
Tonth, frost and drouth. Tho most
diflicult to overcome. Borry fields
well cultivated aro several degrees
warmer than uncultivated fields, there
fore, les3 liablo to damage by frost.
Retain mulching as lato as possible on
strawberries in spring.
Damage by ordinary drongths may
bo prevented by summer mulch and
frequent cultivation and heavy mulch
ing.
FARM AN'D GARDEN NOTES.
Tho grooming of horses is second
only to diot in importance.
Gluten moal is a valuablo food for
horses while doing spring work.
In genoral, level culture is best.
Tho modern cultivators and harrows
make cultivation easy.
Give a colt plenty of opportunity to
exercise and ho will grow faster and
mako a better horso when matured.
Our cultivated crops should be al
lowed in orchards early in tho season.
Grain and hay should never be grown.
Bono dust and hardwood ashes,
though good fertilizers for clay soil,
havo proved of no benefit to deep black
prairio sail.
Trees, espeoially apples, are often
trained too high, because of tho diffi
culty of working close to them. Mod
ern tools will bring the heads within
reach.
Moisture is retained in tho upper
soil by very frequent but shallow till
age, by means of which tho surface cf
the land becomes a mulch for the soil
beneath.
Tillage should not exist for tho pur
pose of killing weeds. Weeds havo
taught tho most important lessons iu
agriculture, to be sure, but the school
master should now bo able to retire.
Tho Agricultural Department has is
sued a bulletin on the culture, proper
ties, and uses of sweet cassava, which
is found in the Southern pen
insula of Florida and well up to tho
frost belt.
Fall plowing may bo advisable for
farm crops, but it should generally be
discouraged in orchards. Tho land in
orchards should be left compact in tho
fall, and it is advisablo to cover it with
some close herbago.
Salt may bo beneficial to an old as
paragus bed in some cases, but gener
ally there is little or no effect. Being
a salt-water plant asparagus can stand
almost any amount of salt without in
jury, yet it shows no partiality for it.
Late cultivation may be injurious
by inducing a lato growth. At all
events it can bo of small utility whou
tho tree begins to mature and rains
become frequent. This season of re
spite gives tho grower tho opportunity
of raising a greoa manure, and of
adding fertility to his land at trifling
expense and with uotam to his tree*
from her Experience,
After years of practical use and a trial of many brands of baking pow
der (some of which she recommended before becomlffg acquainted
with the great qualities of the Royal), Marion Harland finds the
Royal Baking Powder to be greatly superior to all similar prepara
tions, and states that she uses it exclusively, and deems it an act of
justice and a pleasure to recommend It unqualifiedly to
American Housewives.
The testimony of this gifted authority upon Household Economy
coincides with that of millions of housekeepers, many of whom speak
from knowledge obtained from a continuous use of Royal Baking
Powder for a third of a century.

Photographic Competition.
No better proof could be found of
the wonderful advance which has been
made in the art of instantaneous pho
tography than a competition which
has just been arranged in Genova be
tween members of leading camera
clubs and photographic societies of
Switzerland, France, Austria and
England. The subject proposed for
the competition is the determination
by photography of tho shape assumed
by a drop of water while in the act of
falling through the air.
A series of prizes in the form of
medals is offered for the mo st success
ful photographs. It is reqnired that
only distilled water rhnll bo used;
that the size of tho tube from which
tho drop is 4 caused to fall shall bo ac
curately ascertained.
Moreover, it is required that it
shall bo known how far the drop has
fallen at tho instant it is iilioto
graphed; and that effectivo precau
tions shall be taken to prevent any
current of air from disturbing the
drop in its descent.
Only a few years ago it would have
seemed chimerical to proposo such a
photographic feat as this, but now
that running horses, leaping athletes,
flying bullets and lightning havo been
compelled to print their images on
tho sensitive plate, it appears an easy
thing to photograph fulling water so
perfectly that science may thereby
learn, for the first time, precisely, tho
shapo of a raindrop—The Amusing

Monster of Former Ages.
L. W. Stacy, who is in from Pow
der River round-up, tells of the find
ing of tho carcass of somo extinct
monster whoso remains are as large
but unlike the mastodon. Mr. Stacy
says it was on tho east fork of the
Powder River that a number of men
were out when one of them discovered
an immense spinal column in the sand
equal in size to that of tho mastodon.
The head of tho animal is gone, but
there remains, including the tail,
thirty feet of tho vertebra* and tail
bones.
It was at first supposed that the
bones found were of some monster
serpent, but on closer examination it
was found that tho remains of legs
wero buried in tho ground to the
depth of seven feet.—Yellowstone

Japanese candy is mostly made of
rice flour, with a small admixture of
sugar, and tastes rather insipid to the
average palate.

Inventing New Roses.
Although roses have been cultivated
from time immemorial, the origina
tion of new kinds seems to have been
neglected until the beginning of this
century. The first systematic effort
to get improved roses from the seed
is recorded at the time of that lover
of roses, the Empress Josephine.
Dupont, her gardener, was among tho
foremost in this effort. He grew
seedlings from all tho choicest roses
that could be obtained from the-other
countries of Europe; yet in 1811
there wero only 182 varieties, while
in 1847 there were 4500, and now their
name is legion. —New York Post.
