Kricsnon'M Drawing Baard.
An engineer in the department of
docks. New York City, thinks that he
has discovered the old drawing board
on which Ericsson drew the plans for
his famous Monitor. The wood is stain
ed by age. and it is tilled with holes
from the thumb tacks that have been
driven into it. Ericsson was employed
by the Delamater Iron Works when
he designed the Monitor. The company
built a derrick fot the city a few years
later, and at that time the old draw
ing board was taken from their office
anil placed in the derrick. It was kick
ed around carelessly for several years,
and Anally landed in the office of the
dock department, where it has seen
much service.

The story of the proposed trolley line

other instance of modern enterprise. A
certain tract society commissioned a
painter to place religious texts on all
available objects in Egypt. He traced
this question on one of the pyramids:
"Do you want to be saved?"
"Another painter, in the interest of a

A VETERAN'S WIFE.
Affect© 1 With Heart I>iae:se and Given Up
to Hie. Saved in a Wonderful Way.
From ft a Press, Utica, N. Y.
There is no one bettor known or respected
in the village of firooklleld, Madison Co.,
New York, than Mrs. John Flak, the wife ol
an old resident and veterau of the war of the
Rebellion. In April of this year. Mrs. Flsk
lay at death's door from neuralgia and heart
disease, the family phystciau having recom
mended her to settle all her worldly affairs,
as she was liable to be taken at auy minute,
and inquiring friends expected at each visit
to hear tnat she had passed away.
But Mrs. Fisk, to the surprise of her neigh
bors and physicians, suddenly began to
mend, and now she is na strong an 1 healthy
a woman of her advanced age (76 years) as
can be found, and really does not appear
nearly as old as she is. The following is her
own story of how she was cured:
"I consider it is a duty to myself and the
community to tell of my extraordinary re
covery from what was thought by my physi
cians, my husband and friends to be a fatal
illness. I had loug been suffering from
neuralgia in its worst form, enduring agonies
that only those who have undergone such
torments know, until my heart be -ame so
affected functionally aud organically, that
the doctor said I was liab e ut any time to
pass away. He had done all in his power
for me, and 1 thank him much for bis kind
ness ami attention, and believe him t > be a
good, faithful physician. I was not disposed
to die, however, if I could help it, and lie
having done all he could, I felt at liberty to
use any other means that held out a chance
of life, and determined to try a remedy that
had been recomtnende 1 by a friend who
had been at death's door from rhaumatism
and heart disease, but who now is in good
heuii b.
"Whateverdoubt I may have had as to this
remedy's efficacy in a dissimilar disease, to
that from which he had suffers I, was dis
pelled on reading in the Press of a rase iden
tical with my own being cured, with the
name and ad Ircas of the person who hud
been so benuilte I. So my husband who now
was anxious that I should at once take the
treatment, purchased for me a box of Dr.
Williams' Piuk Pills. I tooktuem according
to directions, ami within u very short time
the pains began to disappear, my heart's ac
tions become nornia', and four weeks ago I
<*eased taking them, as I am entirely cured,
and able to do my housework as well as
when I was a young woman,
"I had always, uutil I tried Dr. Williams'
Pink I*llls, looked with suspicion on all ad
vertised proprietary mediciue*. but now my
ideas have nudergone a wondrous change in
that direction, for under God's all wise
Providence. 'Pink Pills' have renovated me,
and apparently given me a now lease of life.
"This is no secret in this locality, and I
hope this certificate maybe the means of
other sufferers in distant places securing the
same benefits that 1 have received.

Decline in Pearls.
A curious effect of the plague In In
dia has been a sudden increase In the
number of pearls reaching the London
market, and a consequent marked fall
in prices. This is not due to unusual
industry on the part of the divers, but
to the fact that the native dealers at
Bombay have been in such haste to
quit the stricken city that they have
eagerly disposed of their wares at far
below the customary market value.
One English firm of importers of In
dian pearls has accumulated a stock
which, if placed suddenly on the mar
ket. It is estimated, would send down
quotations fully 25 per cent.

LOCATING THE PEAR ORCHARD.
A slightly descending slope is most
favorable in order to precipitate
drainage and the discharge of surplus
surface water, but it is not essential
that any particular point of the com
pass should be secured. Shelter from
the rake of the wiDd is important.
The pear is a companionable tree and
will luxuriate when supported by
other trees around it. In close gar
den culture a degree of humidity is
preserved and there is less evaporation
from foliage where the strong winds
are broken, while the growth will be
more vigorous aud healthy. There
must, however, be sufficient air and
sunlight to mature the wood and the
fruit. If the site is high, it will be aa
advantage to plant au evergreen belt
to the windward, both for the health
of the trees and also to prevent the
tailing of the fruit during high winds.
On the other hand, a low, cold and
peaty position, subject to fogs and
frosty nights, is objectionable. A
strong, retentive loam inclined to day
is a preferablo soil.—Fruit Grower.
RESTORING 80IL FERTILITY.
Restoring fertility to the farm land
is of the greatest importance all over
southern Illinois, writes William
Dyke, of Illinois. I have learned
that land here runs together like
mortar, after rainfall, forminga crust
which allows subsequent raicfall to
run off instead of soaking into the
subsoil. Years ago, when surface
soils were full of decayed leaven and
roots of plants and grasses, this crust
did not form so readily and evapor
ation was not so rapid. Henoe, the
advisability of getting the soil back to
the original condition by plowing un
der heavy crops of vegetation, as a
substitute for the leaves and roots
which have disappeared by the con
tinued cultivation dunug the last
thirty or forty years.
1 would recommend for this pur
pose the cowpea, sown with a wheat
drill set at l \ bushels per acre, all the
spouts being open. If seeded very
early, every other one may be closed.
In the fall, when the peas are ripe,
the vines should be plowed under and
tho field seeded to rye, to hold the
nitrogen which has been gathered by
the peas. In spring, rye may be pas
tured some if the ground is not too
wet, and then turned under in time
for planting a crop of corn.
Farm lands suffer loss of fertility by
being left bare during fall aud winter
aud should always be covered with
growing crops, if possible. When tbe
surface layers have again become filled
with humus or decayed vegetable mat
ter, there will be little trouble in
securing a catoh of clover, and when
we cau feel sure of a stand of clover
after seeding, almost any crop which
has heretofore been profitable in this
section can bo grown. Chemists tell
us that clover hay is worth more than
$6 a ten to turn under as a fertilizer.
I believe it, consequently it is worth
considerable effort to get the land back
into a condition to secure a stand of
clover.
Methods of culture have considera
ble to do with the retention of soil
moisture. Practice fall plowing and
subsoiling, which will create a reser
voir for the retention of large quanti
ties of winter and spring rain 6, to be
used by growing crops later. The
turning under of leguminous crops
will do more for farmers than all leg
islation, State or national. —American
Agriculturist.
FEEDING SHEEP.
Professor Harcourt, of th 9 Guelph
experiment station, publishes a sum
mary of various experiments with
sheep which have been conducted both
in the United States and Canada. He
regards the following points estab
lished beyond controversy:
The most rapid bodily development
of the lamb is made during the first
two months of its life.
Of late years the most profitable
branch of sheep husbandry has been
the production of early lambs lor mar
ket, and to this end breeds character
ized by early maturity are most de
sirable.
Lambs taken from their dams at ten
days old made rapid gains on cow's
milk. Bating whole milk at sixty
cents per 100 pounds, the gain cost 31
cents per pound. Skim milk fed in
combination with crushed oats and
green clover produced an average gain
of half a pound per day at a cost of 2i
cents per pound.
Ewes which breed earliest aro gen
erally the heaviest milkers and pro
duce the finest early lambs.
It pays to feed grain to lambs from
their birth, if they are intended for
early market. Besides yielding sixty
cents more profit per head on mutton,
tho grain fed lambs sheared two
pounds more wool, eacfi, at woaning
time, than tlioso which had no grain,
and the wool was of a higher grade.
It does not pay to feed grain to
suckling ewes running on good pas
ture. The lambs of such ewes were
no better than those of ewes having
no grain. But in all cases where the
gram was fed to the lamb instead of
to its mother, the profit was marked.
In Canada and the northern United
States rape is a profitable sheep feed.
One acre of rape will pasture twelve
lambs two and one-half months. - '
Constant close housing is not profi
table for even lambs. Neither is un
limited exposure. The proper prac
tice is to shut in close barns in stormy
weather, and give them open lots in
fine weather with sheds along the
north side opeu to the south.
The idea that fattening lambs suf
fer from the heat of their coats to such
an extent as to retard gains is erro
neous. It does not pay to shear them,
either in early fall or early spring.
Silage makes mutton more slowly
but at less cost than roots.
Giving unlimited ration by self
feeding devices has not been profita
ble at any station where the test has
been made.
Rating prime bay at 83 per ton,
other feeds are worth the following
prices for feeding sheep: Corn fod
der, $t per ton; roots, 82; ensilage,
82; wheat bran 813; linseed meal,
325 ; cottonseed meal, 828 per ton ;
corn, 40 cents per bushel; oats, 30
cents; wheat, 53 cents; peas, 60 cents,
and barley, 45 cents.
The most rapid gains have been
made on a ration of oorn and peas ; the
greatest gain per pound of food eaten
was made on a ration of oorn, oats
and oil meal; the ration which pro
duced gains at the least per pound of
gain was composed of corn, corn fod
der and corn ensilage.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
To get clean strawberries use cut
straw or salt hay under the vines,
which prevents the sand or dirt from
adhering to the fruit and also protects
against loss of moisture.
Linseed meal is excellent for poul
try, containing the nitrogen which is
ot benefit to thorn. A spoonful once a
week is not out of porportion, and it
will serve as a tonic to the bowels, as
well as a food. It is not intended as a
daily food.
A consensus of opinion among
poultry keepers is that buckwheat is
an exoellent food for fowls. Some
ascribe their profit to its use, chiefiy.
Of course, this means that all the
other conditions of care and food are
properly supplied.
Bone, shells and feather contain and
demand phosphates, therofore limo
should bo a factor in feeding. To this
end broken oyster shell is valuable
and easily got, usually. Elements in
strumental in the growth of bono are
more needful at times than food.
Those who raise vegetables ,to sell
should grow as great a variety as pos
sible. Bo not depend on only one
crop—tomatoes, for instance—but in
clude beans, peas, early onions, early
cabbage, etc. There is too much risk
of loss when a single crop is grown,
not only from drouth, but from in
sects, which may attack certain plants
without disturbing others.
The Southdown sheep is not as large
as the Oxford or Shropshire, but it
still holds its place at the head of the
mutton breeds for quality of meat.
One thing in its favor also is its hardi
ness and ability to forage over fields
where the larger kinds are not well
adapted. Where the common flocks
are to be improved it will be an advan
tage to begin with the Southdown, as
a ohange for the better will be notioed
the first season.
The most of the work required with
early lambs is before the farmer be
comes busy. February and Maroli are
the months when the lambs come and
they require but a few weeks' atten
tion before they are able to help them
selves. A piece of land that is of but
little service may be given over to
sheep upon whioh they will thrive with
but a small allowance from the barn.
Tho land occupiod by sheep never be
comes poorer, but is sure to be im
proved.
He Saved Johnson.
Ex-Senator Edmund G. Ross, of
Kansas, who, though a Republican,
saved Andrew Johnson from being de
posed from tho oflico of President, has
written and account of tho part which
he took in the famous impeachment
proceedings. His course during that
trial exposed Mr. Ross to fierce charges
of treachery to his party, and there
were more than hints that he had been
paid for tho vote which alone pre
vented a verdict of guilty ; but calm
observers oven then were convinced
that his action was conscientious. Mr.
Ross is now a very old man, having
been born in Ohio in 1826.
Suez Canal Statistics.
Suez Canal business for 1896 was the
most remunerative on record; the
traffic aggregated 816,930,435, says
United Statos Consul-Goneral Pen
field, of Cairo. England supplied two
thirds of this traffic. The total num
ber of steamers passing through the
canal in 1896 was 3407, with an aggre
gate tonnage of 8,594,307. The re
ceipts were abnormally increased by
the number of Italian soldiers going
io and returning from the Abyssinian
war. Not a single ship carrying tho
American flag passed through the
oanal last year.
Curing Shoplifting
A story is related of a London shop
keeper who cured a female kleptoma
niac by inviting her into a private
room and leaving her alone with his
muscular maiden sister. The sister
sent for a couple of birches, and
"birched" the shoplifter until she
howled for mercy. The shopkeeper
says she has never troubled his store
again, and he thinks she is thoroughly
cured Of tho mania to appropriate that
which does not belong to her.
SCIENTIFIC AND INDCSTKIAL.
It is estimated that 2,000,000 ton!
el pure silver are held ID solution by
all the waters of the earth.
The banks of Newfoundland are
formed by the sand, ice and stone
brought from the north by the ice
bergs.
Within the last fifty years the rate
of speed of ocean steamers has trebled,
and the usual horse power inoreased
from 700 to 10,000.
According to the deductions of a
well-known astronomer, we receive as
muoh light from the sun as could be
emitted by 680,000 full moons.
Nicola Tesla says that the cause of
the curious sunburn effects upon the
hands by the X-rays is not the rays
themselves, but the ozone generated
by them in contaotwith the skin. The
hands may be proteoted by immersing
them in oil beforehand, and thus pre
venting an access of air.
Gypsum has been discovered in large
quantities in Big Horn County, Wyom
ing, and is being used by the settlers
for roofing their houses. Mixed with
a thin mortar and spread upon the
roof it soon becomes as hard as adam
ant and makes a most excellent pro
tection against the elements.
A company has been formed at San
Antonio, Texas, for the purpose of de
veloping the wonderful asphalt de
posits situated iD the state of Tamau
lipas, Mexico, which was recently de-
Boribed by United States Vice Consul
Von Vilenberg, of Matamoras, Mexico.
The company has seoured a lease for
fifty years on the property.
A Kansas man has been granted a
patent on a device for fastening houses
together and holding them on their
foundations, wbioh is simply a series
of rods fastened to opposite sides of
the house and to foundation walls and
roof, and fastened by means of turn
buckles, the idea being to prevent
houses from blowing away in cyclones.
Telephone wires seem to liavo an
important influence in preventing
lightning from striking, according to
the investigations of the German tele
graph department. Three hnndred
and forty towns with telephone sys
tems and 650 towns without them were
under observation. In the former the
lightning struck three times for every
hour of storm, in the latter five times.
Moreover, the violence of the light
uing was much less in the former esse.
A Child's l'lea.
A pretty little golden-haired girl of
seven years walked timidly into a New
lersey polioe court room the other
day and asked for "the man who sent
my mamma to jail." The judge hap
peped to overhear her remark and
asked the little miss what she wanted.
Tears came into her eyes as she turned
to the judge and asked, "Did you send
my mamma to jail?" When told her
name, the judge recalled that a short
time heforo ho had sentenced a woman
to jail for sixty days for drunkenness
and told the child so. Looking up into
the kindly face of the judgo she asked:
"Judge, did you ever have a mam
ma?" and then, choking with sobs, she
could control her feelings no longer
and begged piteonsly for her mother's
release. "Your mamma has been very
naughty," said the judge. "She gets
drunk and abuses her neighbors."
"But she is so good to me, aud I love
her," sobbed the golden haired plead
er, "and if you'll let her go I—l—
won't let her bo naughty any more—
I love her so. Please, please, oh,please
let her go." That was too much for
the gray-haired, kind-hearted magis
trate, and as he turned away to order
the release of the mother, he used his
handkerchief vigorously and his voioe
was husky from a "bad cold," which
bad suddenly developed.
Nettle Plant Fiber.
The nettle plant has long been known
to have a fiber finer and better than
hemp. In 18G9 the sum of $'25,000
was offered to the discoverer of a ma
chine to separate the bark from the
fiber. It seems that while no machine
has been found the chemists have had
good success. Tho fiber was used be
fore the art of writing books; likes
cloth is used to wrap around the mum
mies in Egypt; for nets and lines it ie
the best thing known ; it is sometimes
called "China grass;" it is well known
to the Chinese, Malays, and Hindoos.
It has been worked up into ropes,
canvas, and even clothing.
An English chemist, a Mr. Gomess,
uses zincate of soda to take out the
gums that are in the fiber; the fibei
comes out white and strong; it can bt
worked into any kind of cloth and fai
exceeds linen for laces, handkerchiefs,
etc. It is very light, too. One thou
sand yards of lihea weighs as much a>
600 yards of linen. It will probably
become ono of the prominent produc
tions of India. The common wild
nettle that grows largely on the road
sides in the United States is a varietj
of tho Rhea plant, and it may be thai
it is susceptible of like treatment.
Big Orchid Collectors.
There is an idea abroad that Mr.
Chamberlain is the greatest amateui
orchid grower in the world, but this
is not the case, the collection of the
Empress Frederick of Germany being
worth nearly double that of Mr. Cham
berlain—probably about $200,061).
Miss Alice Rothßchild is nn cutkusius
tic lover of flowors; her collection o)
roses alone is said to be worth $50,-

If expectant naotliers would fort- vf \
for twenty years has sustained ' '**
thousands of women in this condition, there would be fewer disappointments
at birth, and tliey would not experience those annoying "longings."
In the following letter to Mrs. Pinkham, Mrs. Whitney demonstrates the
power of the Compound in such eases. She says:
" From the time I was sixteen years old till I was twenty-three. I was
troubled with weakness of the kidneys and terrible pains when my monthly
periods came on. I made up my mind to try Lydia E. Pinkham s* Vegetable
Compound and was soon relieved. After I was married, the doctor said I
would never he able to go my full time and have a living child, as I was
constitutionally weak. I had lost a baby at seven months and a half. The
next time I commenced at once and continued to take your Compound through
the period of pregnancy, and I said then, if I went my full time and the baby
lived to be three months old. I should send a letter to you. My baby is now
seven months old and is as healthy and hearty as one could wish.
" I am so thankful that 1 used your medicine, for it gave me the robust
health to transmit to my child. I cannot express my gratitude to you: I
never expected such a blessing. Praise God for Lydia E. Pinkhara s Vegetable
Compound, and may others who are suffering do as I did and find relief, and
may many homes be brightened as mine has been."—MßS. L. Z. WUTMTEY, &
