If the name began with “de,” which
the particle indicative of nobility, it
was an easy matter, the only thing
necessary being the separation of the

name, says the Nineteenth (entury.
Yor instance, M Delamare became M.
de Lamare; M. Delestrade was trans-
ormed into M. de Lestrade, and M.
Dervilley signed “D’Ervilley.” But the
operation became a little more trouble-

monplace one, such as Durand, Reg-
In that case the

the elevated circle in which he moves,

The subject of this sketoh is fifty-six:
Jour of age, and actively engaged in farm-
ng. When seventeen years old he hurt his
shoulder and a few years after commenced
to have rheumatic puins in it. On taking
a slight cold or the least strain, sometimes
without any apparent, cause whatever, the
trouble would start and he would suffer the
most excruciating pains. %
He suffered for over thirty years, and the
last decade has suffered so much that he
was unable to do any work. To this the fre-
quent occurrences of dizzy spells were add-
od, making him almost a helpless invalid.
IN ALL SORTS OF WEATHER.
Ilo tried the best physicians but without
ising benefited and has used several snecific
rheumsutic cures, but was not helped. About
ono ye: xr and six months ago he read in this
paper Jf a case somewhat similar to his
which was cured by Dr. Williams’ Piuk
Pills and concluded to try this romedy.
After taking the first box he felt some-
what better, and after using three boxes,
the pains entirely disappeared, the dizzi-
ness left him and he hei now for over af
year been entirely free from all his former
trouble and cnjoys better health than he
has had siuce his boyhood.
Ho is loud in his praises or Dr. Wi'liams’
Pink Pills for Pale People and will gladly
corroborate the abovestatements. His post-
office address is Lorenzo Neeley, Horton

Viviparous Fish.
A doubt that has troubled scientists
for years—whether there exists a vivip-
arous kind of * , one that gives birth
to its young © | living state—was defi-
nitely settler a the amrmative the oth-
er day wheu the City Hall fountain of
the capital of Arizona Territory was
cleaned out, Insurning the water out
of the big cement basin, where a gold-
fish variety of the carp family has long
disported itself for the edification of
the Phoenix nurse girl and the Mari-
copa’ County hobo, it was found that
many of the fish had given birth to
progeny fully forined and ready to dart
about in search of food at the moment
of coming into their watery world. Oth-
ers had given birth to tiny creatures
that were globular in shape, except
for the protruding eyes and a nascent
tail fin, that could scarcely. be seen
without a strong glass. From all evi-
dences, it was clear that the clean-up
had been made during the breeding
season, yet there was no sign of fish
roe or eggs. Many specimens of the
strange young fish were collected, and

About Farming Machinery. bh
This is the season for storing farm
machinery, and why do not manufac-
turers make them so they can bestpred
more easily? © If horse - rake thills
could be unfastened or a mowing ma-
chine pole be removed without taking
the machine all to pieces, it would be .
much better. The old-fashioned
mowing machines were made with a
wooden platform for the feet so the
driver could shift his position and
balance himself better on changes of
surface, but now improvement has
made two little foot rests or stirrups,
with a seat that keeps the . driver's
body at an angle of 45 degrees and
every motion of the spring tends to
throw him further out of balance.
This is all wrong,” ‘The machine
should be so made that the feet can
be moved to support the body and the
spring of the seat fixed so that instead
of throwing the driver’s body back-
ward and downward, it will give it a
vertical motign, which is more natural
and less injurious.—American Agri-
culturist. , ;
Russet Apples, 3
The russet or rusty coat apple, as it
ased to be called, is an old standard
variety, but so far as the English rus-
set is concerned, is valuable chiefly
for its late-keeping qualities. ~ It is
tough, and deficient in flavor. But
what is known as the golden russet of
western New York isa larger “apple,
niuch better flavor, and having a.
lighter-colored but still rfissety = coat.
It-is very nearly as good a keeper as
the English russet, and as. good a
bearer. It should always be preferred
when setting out orchards where late-
keeping apples ate desired. One of
the peculiarities of the russet is that
if its skin is bruised it will dry up
without rotting. All kinds of russets
have this peculiarity. It is due to the
tannin in their skins, which prevents
fermentation and -decay. There is
one variety of russet which is sweet.
It grows much larger than other rus-
vets. probably because the sweet rus-
set is a shy bearér. It has no com-
‘mercial value because the yield is not
so great as that of better-known sweet
apples. : >
Thawing Frozen Soil.
It is very difficult to make an exca-
vation in frozen soil as is often needed
when the building of a house or base-
ment barn is begun in winter. The
work may be greatly helped by gov-
ering the surface it is desired to thaw
with unslaked lime, applying just
enough water to start it to slaking,
and then covering the lime so that as
much as possible of the heat shall be
kept in. Heat does not readily pass
downward, and it will take from five
to ten hours to thaw down, depending
for time on the depth to which the
soil is frozen. =~ Where very deeply
frozen; as it is apt to be in dry, sandy
30il, it may be necessary to dig out
after the first freezing what sail has
been thawed, and then make a second
trial of lime. A When once the lime is
below the surface it is much easier to
Lin-the first application. Work on city
streets is often done in winter by first
thawing the frozen surface with coal
fires made in coal furnaces that reach
confine the heat it gives off than it is | missing what it takes to keep
striet feed when the cow begins to
fattén and the milk to dry off. Prob-
ably, even then, some succulent feed,
in place of part of the grain the cow
receives, will check the tendency to
fatten and hold the cow to her milk
longer than she otherwise would. The
trouble with cows tliin in flesh is that
their milk will have always less o
butter fats than that from cows which
are in good condition, but not fat at
farrowing time. An old farmer once
said that a year when hay was plenty
and cheap, and corn or other grains
were scarce, was always followed by
high prices for butter the next season.
Too many farmers rely wholly on
coarse feed for their cows during the
winter months. © Some grain in addi-
tion would be much better. So that
the cow is not made too fat to have
her. -calf come safely and: without
caked udder, for herself the more fat
is put inte her, the more she will put
into the milk pail next ‘summer.

Clover Hay for Horses.
There seems te-be a great prejudice
in the minds of ‘the public against
clover hay. for road or driving horses.
That this is common, especially so 1n
cities, is fully proven by the greater
demand for timothy hay, and its very
much higher price over clover.
Cliemical analysis shows, writes J. |:hat a boy&ott
S. Woodward, in the Prairie Farmer,
that clover has by far the greater
feeding value, especially in those ele-
ments necessary for the fast-driving
road horse, and ‘the experience of
every one who has “sensibly experi-
mented in the matter fully substan
tiates the claims of chemistry.
The facts.are that clover hay ismuch
better for all hay-eating animals, and
that they can do more nd drive
farther on the same wei ble

unfit for fast driving. It is like fill-
ing a boy with some dainty ‘of which
he is very fond and then putting him
to hard work or close thinking), or like
turning a lot of hungry cows .into a
fresh clover pasture, from which they
are sure to be troubled with hoven,
not because the food is unwholesome,
but so good that they eat- so rapidly
as to retard digestion.
With mangers filled ever so {full of

his appetite. :
To feed clover hay. to a road , or
driving Horse the feeder should use
his judgment and give just what the
horse needs and no more. Let it
be eaten ever so quickly, the horse
should have no more until the next
feeding time.
The feeder’s brains and not the
horse’s belly, should be the judge as
to-what he should receive. = >
There is as much digestible, muscle-
supporting food in one pound of
clover hay as in. two and one-half
times as much timothy, and as much
carbohydrates, weight for weight, and
fifty per cent. more fat or food of
energy. . : .
Early cut, bright, well-cured clover
hay and oats make an ideal food for a
driving horse, fed a proper quantity.
Then, if the owner wants to amuse
his horse between meals, “fill his man-
ger with any kind of straw; but if the
straw 1s bright ‘and has been well
housed he will eat too much for
own good in fast driving.
For a growing colt there is no food
so good as clover hay and wheat bran.

CYCLING NOTES.
Yrving Harrison, of Hackensack, N. J.,
| rode more than 26,000 miles on his bicycle
last year. .

after ride bicycles as an aid to delivery.
| They prefer to ride in strgat cars, after

anti-bicycle tax petition to the Legislatnre
is being circulated throughout the State.

A new tire which it is said combines all
the merits of a punctureless tire has been

it need not be pumped up. Itis made of a

acute as to inform her of the approach of
vehicles she is perfectly safe and fearless
wherever she rides. :
It is expected that the tricycle will
again be brought. into popular favor
among-the elders of the leisured classes in
England. The demand for some vehicle in
which the joys of cycling can be tasted
without the fear of consequences that
may result from the propelling of a two-
wheeler, will probably bo answered by the
return of the tricycle.

Milk From Thin Cows.
It is a great mistake to allow a
milch cow to become very thin while
she is giving milk. If she be a deep
milker, she will never become very
fat, however highly fed. All that the
cow-receives in feed in such case,
‘above what is needed to keep her in
thrifty condition, goes into milk and
butter, and is worth more ‘in that
form'far more than what it ‘costs as
feed, It will be time énpugh to re:.

There is no better floor-than. one of

If you do not want the chickens in
