TRACKINC A BISON. Soon the Tablet Were Turned, and He Wat Tracking Hit Trackers. The tracks are quite fresh, drops of Wood are on the leaves he had brushed against, and, with both rifles ready, we get nearer and nearer to him. We are going up a steep hill now, the jungle in places is not quite so thick—open patches here and there. “There he is!” from Chippani, who has eyes like a hawk, and a snort and a short crash above us tell us we are seen. “Shoot!” Chippani says, and to our cost I do. With no cover below him, no open place to meet him, and everything in the bull’s favor, I ought never to have tired, as by making a flank march I could easily have got above him and in comparative safety. However, there is not much time to think of these things, and, as I fire one barrel of the 10-bore into the thicket where the bull is standing, he comes down the hill like a steam en gine. I give him the other barrel, but nothing short of instant death would have stopped him then. I turn to get behind a friendly tree I had fortu nately noticed out of the corner of my eye, about twenty yards off, and in a second overtake Chippani and Ande making for the same retreat. A noise like a runaway steam engine tells me he is close behind, and he must have been within three yards when I fell flat on my face, bringing the two men behind me on the top of me as the huge brute goes right over us at the rate of a thousand miles an hour, catching my cheekbone with one foot and treading full on Chippa ni's thigh with the other. By some extraordinary chance he escaped hav ing his leg broken, owing probably to tbe ground being very soft, and con sequently bis leg giving way to pres sure. lamup in a second, rifle gone, blood pouring from my face, and dash tor the tree, from behind which I peer cautiously—or incautiously, I should say, as there he is, ten yards off, head up, tail in the air, a splendid sight, indeed, but that I was not exactly in the position to admire the beauty of the situation. He sees me, and with n snort dashes at the tree. I slip round it, but he is quicker than I, and I feel his breath and foam on my neck, while on the lower side of the tree, which is on the side of a steep hill, he just catches me on the ribs with his horn, and I am hurled into space to land twenty feet up in the air in a thicket of dead bamboos, where I lie, transfixed by thorns like spears, really thinking my last moment has come. But no; the side of the steep hill is too greasy for him to stop when he has got the pace on, and he disap pears, while I climb out of the bam boos, get hold of my rifle, load it, and count up tbe casualties. Chippani is lying on the ground with his thigh nearly ground to pow der, but Ande comes up smiling and cujoying the fun immensely. Leaving Chippani behind a fallen tree with the brandy flask, Ande and I run along the ridge to see where the beast had gene. We can just make out his back as he walks slowly down the valley, but as I am beginning to feel faint and sick I return to Chippani, and we lie there for an hour, my chief sensa tion being as if someone had given me an elaborate thrashing.—Badmin ton iVlagftzina.

They sold advertising space on the outside of the cars, had picnics, baseball games, horse races, shooting matches, drills and other attractions at the ends of the different enr routes, and showed much shrewd business sense in devis ing schemes for turning nimble pen nies. “ Powder and Patches Again. Women who are never satisfied with the color of their hair will no doubt be glad to learn that powdered hair is again to be in vogue. Not, of course, for daily wear, but for dinners and all manner of dressy functions. The effect is one that women have always liked to emulate, and its appearance in 1897, together with a host of other re vivals, will be hailed with delignt. Patches are, of course, the natural accompaniment of powdered hair, and they have not been forgotten. The wo man whose white locks are piled coquet tishly on top of her head plans a pretty contrast by scattering half a dozen little black patches over her cheeks and brow. The effect is still further helped oulj if she chances to have dark eyes and eyebrows that are slender dark curves. Siglitless Woman Farmer. There lives in Oak Hill, Texas, a blind girl who has from a few acres of land, cultivated by herself, cleared about S2OO each season for several years by the growing and sale of vegetables. She began with no capital and an unfenced piece of uncultivated laud. There is now a neat fence about her domain, a well and pump in the center, and she has, in addition to purchasing these, paid for a piano and hack to take her vegetables to the market, which is twenty miles from her home. Every evening during the dry season she waters a certain num ber of plants until she has gout over the entire piece, when she begins and goes over it again in the same way. Insect life she detects from her acute sense of hearing, and grass and weeds are easily distinguished from plants by the sensitive fingers of the blind garden er. How Queen Victoria Propose*!^ It may not be peuerally known that royal etiquette forbids any royal" per sonage of lesser degree to propose mar riage to a female sovereign. Accord ingly it became necessary that Queen Victoria should ask Prince Albert whether he would share her lot. For a young woman this was naturally an awkward and rather delicate duty, but the most trying ordeal was ■when the Queen had to make the announcement of her wedding to the privy oouueil. At one time there was a possibility that the marriage would not take place, owing to the desire of the Queen that sho should not be married too early. Iu 1830 Prince Albert confessed that he came to England with the intention of telling his royal sweetheart that if she could not then make up her mind she must understand that he could not wait for a decision as he had done at a former period, when the marriage was first talked about. It was at Windsor, at a ball, that the Queen broached the subject by giving the Prince certain flowers from the bouquet she carried, and her boy lover, understanding the significance of the gift, and being tightly buttoned up, from waist' to throat, in a green rifle uniform, made a cut in his tunic just above the heart and put the flowers within it. The next day the Queen put the critical question, and the contract was sealed Erom that moment,—London Tele graph, Smart Outing: Suits. Mohairs, alpacas anil brilliati tines, though not so popular as last season, are likeil by many women because of their light, wiry texture and the man ner in which they shed the dust. The latest idea in making them follows the fashion so much liked for etaminek, canvases and other semi-transparent materials; that is, the taffeta lining is made in a slip skirt, and the outside is attached to it only at the belt. They are gored in the usual manner, fitting loosely at the waist, with only a little fullness in the back and flaring to a width of four yards at the foot, where they are finished with a three-inch hem. The suits are completed with coats, blazers or jackets, personal preference deciding the choice as much as any thing else, although there is a slight disposition either to relegate the jack et to the most negligee of outing cos tumes, or to reserve it for dressier oc casions. Coats are of two styles, tight fitting and very short, with trim regulation' coat revers and velvet-faced collar, or half loose in front, fastening under a fly, and a trifle longer. Blaz ers are of the same length, but show more variety in the cut of the fronts and the shape of the revers. They sometimes fasten with one button above the bust, and again not at all; and are cut with square or rounded corners, and flare away sharply, or only enough to disclose the blouse front. The question of sleeves has regulated itself by common sense and artistic taste, and every one should be satisfied. For all tailor gowns the modified gigot is the regulation style, and it is large enough to be becoming and comfortable, and small enough not to be intrusive. —Demorest’s Maga zine. For the Summer ISulJi. The daily bath should be always taken at exactly the same hour. For summer, in the morning immediately on rising or in the afternoon just be fore twilight are the most propitious times. Never take a bath immediate ly before eating, and unless directed to do so by your physician, never take a hot bath. Never bathe imme diately before or after undergoing violent exercise, and remember to dry the body thoroughly if you have time, or not at all if you are in a vast hurry. Careful persons should make the temperature of the water about that of the surrounding air. This is an excellent preventive against taking cold, and if the bath is taken after a long, hot journey or in the morning after a sleepless night, no greater tonic can be found than that of poui*- ing slowly down the back from the base of the neck to the end of the spine a pitcher of truly cold but not icy water. This soothes and stimu lates the nerves exquisitely. It helps to redden the lips and cheeks of pale women, and revives one as does a cup of strong coffee. In summer bathing, beware, how ever, of lying long in the tub if hot and weary, or of too frequent use of cologne. To lie still in fresh water brings about weakness and pallor, while cologne dabbled often on the face produces curious fine wrinkles. When traveling in summer always try to carry a bottle of pure alcohol and a sponge. Especially in making long journeys by rail sponge off as well as yon can with the alcohol when a good tabbing is impossible, and when at sea and sick, take as much of an alco hol bath every day as you can. Excessive perspiration can be checked by using borax in the water, dabbing it on the sensitive parts, and letting the air dry off the moistnre, or, for very moist hands, a spoonful of pure alcohol rubbed between the p:rtms with a pinch ok bismuth will aid iu keeping the skin cool and dry, or a basin filled with (Sold water and a spoonful of aromatic ammonia, or toilet vinegar, applied gently with a sponge is equally useful. But whatever the bath, its invariable adjunct in sum mer must be a little talcum powder. Violet talcum powder, cooling and fragrant, comes in small boxes xvith perforated tops, and those who are sensitive to heat or dust find it most refreshing.—American Queen.

Many horses, especially if fed grain, eat it much too fast to get the most good from it. If they took longer time to masticate it there would be less grain voided inf* their excrement. A good way to compel slow eating is to mix xvith the grain a feiv clean pebbles, that will oblige the horse to gather his food sloxvly. A stilt better xvay is to grind the grain and mix the meal with three times its bulk of cut hay,or txviee its bulk of straxv. Cure For Pig Fating Sow.

Place one of the hoops just back of the fore legs, another just in front of the hind legs and the third over the neck. Pad the hoops xvith a bran sack or some old bits of cloth. Place a strap muzzle over the nose, secure it to the first hoop, then turn in the pigs. From twenty-four to thirty-six hours’ con finement xvill tame the most obstinate and depraved soxv.—E. A. Wood, Nexv York. Spoiled in the Stnclf. If the aggregate annual los3 of hay by being spoiled in stack could be defi nitely , determined, the long string of figures required to express the loss xvould probably astonish the most of Us. Besides, much of the hay that is not throxvn out as “spoiled” is dusty and of loxv x’alue as compared xvith its condition when stacked. Clox’er is particularly difficult to keep in good condition. It should be very carefully stacked, keeping middle very full, and covered xvith long grass or other pro tective material.—Epitomist. Draught Houses on the Road. The strength of the draught horse enables him to make good time for a short sprint, despite the excess of weight he carries. But unless on soft dirt roads fast driving of draught horses should not be attempted, be cause the excess of weight makes the pounding of the horse’s feet on the hard surface all the more severe. It is well known that heavy horses are quite apt to have defective feet. This we believe to be the cause. Kept to their appropriate pace on the road and on the farm draught horses will live and do good service years after they are twenty years old. It is ner vous worry that shortens life, rather than hard, muscular toil, both in horses and in men,—The Silver Knight. "Working Butter. The object of working butter is to get the salt evenly distributed and to expel a portion of the brine. When it is worked but once, the butter-maker thinks it is worked enough, and packs it immediately. But there is, at that time, no way to tell whether the salt has been evenly distributed or not. A few hours afterwards ho samples the butter, and finds it mottled, which will seriously affect the selling price. He knows the cause is unequal salting, that the portions which have salt have changed to a deeper yellow, and the unsalted portions have remained of a lighter color. With the next churn ing he is determined to remedy this, and be sure to work enough. The chances are that this time it is worked too much, so that the grain is injured and the butter has a greasy appear ance. But after practice and the exer cise of good judgment these errors can be avoided to a great extent, and a fairly uniform and even product pro duced. An Easily-Made Crate. Our sketch shows an easy way of making crates for the handling of ap ples, pears, potatoes and other crops. A shallow grocery box has laths tacked to the inside, as' shown in the diagram, with strips of the laths nailed about the top. Put two laths iu each corner, SIMPLE FBtTIT CEATE. to give strength to the upper part, and nail the ends strongly with wire nails. Shallower boxes than that shown in the engraving can also be used to ad vantage. During the winter mouths, when the weather does not permit out door work, is a good time for making contrivances like this.—New England Homestead. Alfalfa. A most valuable bulletin of the New York station is that on alfalfa (No. 118). It gives a full account of the plant and many additional details as to method and time of seeding, cut ting, making hay and ensiling, and discusses the yields, composition and feeding value of alfalfa ns compared with other crops. Alfalfa being a deeper rooting plant than are the clovers, is thus better ena bled to stand drought; and it is a per ennial, continuing indefinitely when once established. It stands successive cutting well, giving four or even five crops of rich fodder in a single season. It is admirably adapted to supplement maize as a soiling crop, ns it is rich in the nitrogenous elements which maize lacks. At the station it has been read ily eaten by stock of all kinds, aiidbas proven an economical addition to the rations. It will grow on a great variety of soil but will not stand stagnant water or a water level too near the surface. Considerable care is required in start ing a field, as it is essential to secure a good stand in a mowing crop which is to last for several years. The ground should be plowed the fall before, and fitted well just before sowing the seed in the spring. Alfalfa has been quite handy at Geneva, but may not be so much farther north in the State. In a favorable year and on rich soil it may sometimes give one or even txvo good crops the first season; but usually no crop need be expected until the sec ond year. The yield then increases for three or four years, and may re main constant for ten j years or more if weeds and grass do not gain a foot hold. At the station the averago yield from five crops of four cuttings each, xvas over seventeen tons of green fod der per acre. A Stack Cover. Herewith is presented a sketch of a stack cower which we saw a neighbor using and afterwards used ourselves with very satisfactory results, for upon removing the cover, the hay is found nice and bright clear up to the boards. There is usually a little damaged hay at lower edges of cover, but the loss here is light. IIP HAYSTACK COVES!. The stack is made in the form of a rick of any desired length, as several lengths of boards may be used. It should be well balanced; tbe bay should, if possible, he pitched on to stack from both sides. In topping out, bring up to sharp ridge and tramp xvell along centre. In good w eather it is best to let stand a few days, then re-top and cover. Cover is made of hoards Ixl2 inches, ours xvere four teen feet long. Bevel the edge of one board and nail it and another together in the form of a xvell-spread triangle, using 10d. nails. If not spread suf ficiently, nail xvell and jump up and down on top of it. Have au attendant take one end, you take the other, carry up on ladders and lay on centre of stack. Carry another board up in same manner; or bettefr, have some one pass it up to you, slip edge under first board, lapping two inches or less, and nail. Now move around to op posite Bide of stack, put one iJp there, and so on till roof is wide as you xvant it. Pass wires over top and weight down heavily with rocks. Don’t leaTO it any time without xveighting, for the wind can remove a roof of this kind in much less time than it took to put it on. Watch the stack closely and don’t let it get started tipping, for if it does, the weight on top will pull it over rapidly.—The Epitomist. Farm anil Garden Holes. Do not allow chaff to accumulate in the bottom of the manger. It becomes musty and sour, and bad for the horse. The horses ought to have a little salt with their feed once every day. This is a great deal better than a larger quantity once ft week. Don’t yell at your horses, and do not have a man on your place who can’t control his temper when handling animals. Horses are highly sensitive, and the best results can only be ob tained from them when their nervoUs system is respected. Many orchardijsts have mistaken the common oyster shell bark-louse for the pernicious scale. The scale of the bark-louse, under which the eggs are protected during winter, is spray proof, the opportunity for successful attack being in spring, after the eggs hatch. Kerosene emulsion is the ammunition to use against these minute sap-suqk ers. A good milch cow has broad hind quarters and thin forequarters, thin and deep neck, pointed withers, head pointed between the horns, flat anij flue boned legs and fine hair. Choose one "with udders well forward, wide apart and large enough to he easily grasped. A medium-sized cow will give more milk in proportion to the feed she eats. In most farm gardens it will be the easiest possible matter to raise a luxuriant second crop. t The way to pro ceed is to let the ground severely alone after early crops are gathered and the weeds will “volunteer” to produce an immense crop of seed. Of course you will have to work like a Turk next year in order to keep them down; but that’s another thing. Potash is the mineral that is most needed for the potato crop. But it is much better distributed as atop dress ing over the whole surface than ap plied with the seed potatoes in the hill. The potato roots very early in its growth and fills the soil between the rows. When mineral manures are plied in the hill, unless care is taken to mix them thoroughly with the soil, they may eat into the cut seed, and effectually destroy the germ. When used broadcast on the surface there is no danger of this. Some farmers have all confidence in the uprightness of their own particu lar bull, and let him accompany the cows to the pasture, whence all are driven up together at night by the children. Some men follow' this plan too long, to their lasting regret. Bulls that are known to be vicious seldom hurt anybody, because they do not get a chance to do so. All valuable bulls are vicious at tinges. Tie or pen the bull in a comfortable place; make all secure, and you will know better where he and yourself “are at.” It is not difficult to read a horse’s character from his face. The tractable animal is broad and flat between the eyes; the bony ridge of his face dishes slightly from the point where - the face narrows towards the nostrils. His ears are well set, sensitive and fqr apart, with a well-defined ridge of bone extending across the top of the head between them. Always look for this ridge in judging a horse. The eye should be large, clear and bright, with a prominent ridge of bone along the inner and upper ridge of the socket. _.a: Pistols and Pestles. The duelling pistol now oocupies its proper place, in the museum of the collector of relics of barbarism. The pistol ought to have beside it the pestle that turned out pills like bullets, to be shot like bullets at the target of the liver. But the pestle is still in evidence, and will be, probably, until everybody has tested the virtue of Ayer’s sugar coated pills. They treat the liver as a friend, nolens an enemy. Instead of driving it, they coax it. They are compounded on the theory that the liver does its work thoroughly and faithfully under obstructing conditions, and if the obstructions are removed, the liver will do its daily duty. When your liver wants help, get "the pill that will,” Ayer’s Cathartic Pills. The Jews in Palestine. The Rev. J. Hertzfteld, a converted Jexvisli rabbi, says that there are now three times as many Jews in Palestine as returned xvith Ezra and Neheiniab. “The Jews,” he says, “will soon erect a temple in Jerusalem, and will estab lish the sacrifices of old. I received a letter from my home a short time ago, in xvhich they tell me of a meet ing xvith an English lady xvho xvas studying art and sculpture in Milan. She said that xxdiile in Milan she en tered one of the largest xvorkshops, and saxv there a magnificent pillar. She asked them about it, and they told her that it was for the nexv temple of Jerusalem. In Rome she also saxv an other pillar xvhich xvas being finished for the temple. It may be possible that some of the influential Jews are quietly preparing for the erection of this temple. The time is fast approach ing xx-hen Palestine xvill be xvliolly peo pled by the Jexvs. The sultan is in dire straits for money, and may sell the country to them at any time. When that comes to pass I believe that the toil tribes of Israel xvill be gathered there from all parts of the world. ” A Crying Need. “What this city needs,” said the man in the golf suit, “is a laxv that xvill require pedestrians to take les sons in xx’alking. ” “For xvhat reason?” demanded the youth in the tennis suit. “Oh, they take up too much room noxx',” explained the man in the golf suit. “We can’t tell just where we will find them next, either. They wabble too much. If they xvould stick to a straight line they xvouldn’t bother us so much xvhen xve take to the sidexvalk for a block or two to avoid a muddy street. In the ideal community pedestrians xvill bo trained to walk on the curbstone, so ■ that bi cyclists can have both the street and the sidexvalk.” —Chicago Post. Purely a Local Disease.

A Russian loc Breaker. A gentleman in Vladivostock, Siberia, quoted in The Boston Transcript, thus describes the new iee breaker Hope that the Russian government has sent there: “Imagine to yourself a Dutch wooden shoe rigged out with two masts and an enormous funnel, and there you have her shape. She was built in Copenhagen, and contracts to smash six feet of ice without winking. If the old ice breaker Selatch had one foot of ice to contend with she was usually the party that got smashed. She is of 300 tons and was built for a revenue cutter. The Hope is of 3,000 tons and was built for business.
