OUT ON THE TICKET LINE A Soldier’s Incidents of the Civil War. Swimming tho Ripidan Afler Tohi cjo, Tha Two Cavalrymen's Fata. Thomas .1. Murray, In the Washing- ton Republican, gives tho following incidents: AVhen our command was in front ol AVashingtou, and the viciou t syst n. of picket firing had been put nno l to, I frequently met on I he; j. I many of my college mates from Georgetown University who wove in the Union ranks. They used to twit me for deserting my "unionism,” for 1 used to wear the red, white and blue cockade when at college, but I got even with them one evening when a section of my company gobbled up a whole line of Federal pickets. That was on the occasion when General McCellan held a grand review of his troops beyond Arlington Heights, and 1 presume the forward movement we made was intended by General Johns¬ ton to ascertain whether General McCellan was preparing an immediate onset on our lines. At any rate I can say it now, although It was absolute neglect of duty as sergeant of the guard who had charge of the prison¬ ers the same night, I winked at the escape of my old schoolmates, and per haps some of them now living in the city recollect the matter well. AVhen I had become more seasoned and de- sciplined in warfare, they would not have escaped so easily. Then I would have held my own father if he had been opposed to our cause. A funny incident that I recollect— as incident to the topic herein talked of occurred on the Rapidan river in 1863, when the armies of the Potomac and of Northern Virginia were face to face. At that time, having full confl- dence in the strategy of Genera! Lee, we believed that we would finally win the fight. And that was in spite of the fact that rations were getting aw¬ fully low. But the pickets on either side of the river thought there was a dearth on the one side of the tobacco, and on the other side of coffee, and in spite of the official orders they deter¬ mined to exchange commodities. Strict orders had been issued by the Confed¬ erate generals against any intercourse between the opposite armies, and, in a measure, the edict was properly re¬ garded. But it happened that a young fellow belonging to a federal regiment stripped off his clothes and swam across the Rapidan to exchange with the rebels on the next hank. He had nearly got through with his “dicker ’ when the brigadier-general of the Confederates oame along, and tho Yank hid behind a clunp of bushes. The general knew his men and their practices, and, forcing his horse be¬ hind the bushes, he discovered the dis¬ comfited federal. The Confederate general agreed to release the illicit trader on the condition that he would "do so no more." But apart from that there are tragic circumstances brought to my mind. I have seen many episodes in the war between the States, hut 1 have never seen one that enlisted my sympathies more than the incident I will attempt herein to de¬ scribe. On a cold day in the latter part of December, 1862, the writer’s company was picketing on the hank of the Rap¬ pahannock, immediately at the point where Burnside’s lower pontoon bridge was laid. The river here is two or three hundred yards wide, swift and deep up to the bank. Two Federal cavalrymen came down to the opposite hank and shouted to us that they had lots of coffee and sugar which they wanted to trade for tobac¬ co. They were told to come over as they said they had a boat. They came across, and after the trade was com¬ pleted they started hack. Now the men were dressed in their heavy over¬ coats, with capes and high cavalry boots and spurs. The boat was a small plank scow, and we saw when they come over that it was leaking badly. They bailed it out before they started on their return trip. When within 40 yards of the opposite bank, in spite of the frantic efforts of the men to paddle it to shore, it went down under them, and, dragged down by their weight of clothing, they sank like plummets of lead in full view of their comrades, who were unable to render the slightest assistance, having no other boat. Frogs Without End. The Winnipeg, (Manitoba,) Free Press tells of an artesian well that belched forth frogs by the million. It is on the premises of John Benson, on Notre Dame street. They choked up the tank and the squirming mass had to e s ove e out, u e supply was practically unlimited; they came in as fast as t ey cou e ta en out The frogs could be seen bobbing up serenely through the tub in a contin- uous procession; and it kept two men busr ladling them out. The hens in the neighborhood had a regular jubi¬ lee over the unexpected supply of things, while several restaurant keep¬ ers negotiated with Mr. Benson for large quantities of them. What “D. C.” Means. “What do they always put D. C. affter Washington for?” asked Mrs, f Quilp of Mr. Quilp. “Why, my dear don’t you know that Washington was the daddy of hii country?" said Quilp with a snicker, H)lt THE FA It II AM) HOME. tV I liter I'nre of Tonis. The time of year when most farm Implements are used least is also the time when they suffer most deprecia¬ tion. They wear more by rust tiian by use. On the approach of AVinter all tools should he got under shelter and their iron parts oiled or painted to prevent rusting. A little rosin, in linseed oil makes a good coating and oue that will hold through the season. If the iron lias already rusted the rust may he removed either by kerosene oil or by a wash with oil of vitriol quickly followed by one of clear water, and then thoroughly greased, The oil of vitriol will make a polished sur¬ face very quickly provided none is left on the iron. But as soon as it has eaten out the rust it will begin on the solid iron and make a greater abrasion than before unless checked. It is a good plan to paint the woodwork of all farm implements once a year. After fall work is finished is as good a time to do this as can he desired. Pruning Young Fruit Tree*. Everywhere one meets with young fruit trees which sadly need judicious pruning. A young tree is made or married in its first three years of growth. If it is not directed aright it grows all awry and gets past thfc remedy of the ordinary cultivator. It is easy for any person to train a tree in the way in which it should go if he begins in time, hut a master hand i3 needed to bring an ill-trained tree in¬ to good shape without entire heading down and the consequent loss of three or four years’ growth. A general rule for the pruning of young trees may be laid down as follows; Leave no more than three or four maiu lilubs > and let tbese evenly balanced by cutting away superfluous growth; cut out ever > branch and twi « wblch g r0VV3 inward * leavin S- and prevent all cross 8 rowth of wood ’ le; ‘ving each main branch with an evea and regular set of small branches,which give a hollow, cup-like shape to the tree. This makes a basis lor a most conveniently form- ed and handsome tree .—New York Times. Polluting the Air. An exchange has the following par¬ agraph: ‘‘A putrid carcass polluting the air of a pasture will spoil not only the milk of cows running there, hut also the entire contents of the vat into which the tainted milk is poured at the factory.” Experience demon- strates the fact that milk possesses a peculiar strong absorptive power, and all dairymen know the necessity of absolute cleanliness in order to secure excellence in milk or its products. Disregarding any effect upon the milk of cows, no carcass should- be allowed to lie exposed above ground, because of the contaminating intluence which it exerts upon the at mosphere. Nor is that the only reason; every carcass contains elements of fertility that should not he allowed to go to waste. The system of a farmer of our ac- quaintifbce is well worthy of imitation. Not a great ways away from his barn a large hole had been formed by the removal of a large rock, and into this he casts the carcasses of all dead ani¬ mals, such as woodchucks, skunks, or animals destroyed upon the farm, or any domestic animals that might die of disease or he accidently killed, covering them with soil that was kept at hand; here the process of putrefac¬ tion and absorption goes on, and a valuable fertilizer is the result. This is carted off for use and the bones found (if any) in shovelling the mass over are picked out and reduced by boiling in a large kettle with crude potash, which breaks down the bones so that the mass can he pulverized and dried like phosphate and makes a valuable fertilizer. How much better than to let the animals throw out their stench upon the air .—Germantown Telegraph. Selecting; Fowls. The National Stockman has the fol¬ lowing to say about selecting fowls. Note the pullets that look as your best hens did at their age. If the shape is correct, do not fear to select your larg¬ est and heaviest pullets. Notice that the largest are often not the heaviest pullets, the difference occurring in the “fluffiness” of their feathers. While fluff is a good thing in a sitting hen, we prefer one that surprises you in her weight by reason of the closeness of her feathering. Notice particularly the shape of the back. In so man^ cases is it noticed to be concave or hoi- low, rather than convex or rounding, In both sexes notice the legs and tors carefully. If yellow is demanded do not be satisfied with cream white, a lack of uniformity in this par- t j cu j ar> ^ i8 an j m p or t a nt point in the 8how pen and ^ reater atlenti(m B h 0 uld be given it in the breeding pen. L 8@e thal a „ the female8 in a ■ d have a uniforillit f color , ,v . • : anJ 8tyla 0f cours(; it i8 mo9t in t . ant that the male be right in every particular, for though he may have a dozen mates, he is half the yard. Ob- serve that in him style, form and car- riage should out balance size. Never select a cock with a drooping, or “ewe” neck; and with the same care avoid one that fails to have a good strong, wide-spreading tail. One that carries a high head usually possesses a good breast, ami one that crows long, loud and often will usually be free from roup uud other ihtoat diseases. Choose 1 a comb in which each point has a haso sufficiently wide and strong to support it. A comb in which the points show the proportions of the letter M doubled is to he preferred even in the Leg¬ horns to one in which the serrations aie so deep that the points are likely to fall over, as the bird advances in age. Other things being equal, avoid a bird that shows too great an abundance of “red leather." As to the coloring, all must depend upon varieties, hut do not run the risk that some writers ad¬ vocate "strong markings in the females and weak or undistinct coloring in the males." How to Measure a lliisliel. There is a good deal of discussion just now about the size and capacity of a bushel. It is a natural conse¬ quence of the great variety of such measures in use among dealers in dif¬ ferent articles of merchandise, and which are variously encumbered by special conditions and custo ms founded upon some peculiar necessity. Thus a common charcoal bushel in Michigan and New England is 2,750 cubic inches, which Is more than a standard heaped bushel, and the al¬ lowance is made on account of a cer¬ tain loss in measuring, by the break¬ ing down of the brittle material into dust, and which causes so much loss. A standard U. S. bushel contains two thousand one hundred and fifty and four-tenths cubic inches, and is a cyl¬ inder eighteen and a half inches In diameter, and eight inches deep. This is the truck bushel, used for measur¬ ing grain and meal. A heaped bushel is a common bushel heaped up with any loose substance, as potatoes or apples, to a point in the centre. The cone thus formed will have a height equal to half the depth of the measure and its cubical contents, it is very clear, will be e <jual to one-fourtti those q[ lhe measure ltself . Then two thou- sand one hundred and fifty and four- tenths inches, plus one-fourth, will be two thousand six hundred and eighty- seven and five-tenths inches, which is the exact contents of a heaped bushel. In use this bushel is called two thou¬ sand six hundred and eighty-eight inches, and is the Pennsylvania coke and charcoal bushel. It would be a great convenience if all farm produce were sold by weight, including eggs, milk, iruits and garden vegetables. It would be exact and fair to seller and purchaser, and would save a good deal of dispute and useless discussion. We have far too many differences in meas¬ ures : there are three tons, one of 2,000 pounds, another of 2,240 pounds, an^ a third of 2,268 pounds ; three gallons, the imperial, the beer gallon, and the U. S. Standard, or Winchester gallon ; two sets of pounds, ounces, etc., and what is very curious, an im¬ perial (English) gallon of water weighs ten pounds avoirdupois, which is equal to 70,000 Troy grains; while a standard gailon of the United States weighs 58,972 Troy grains, or eight and a half pounds avoirdupois. As both of these measures are confounded in discussions about the weight of a quart of milk, there is a beautiful and lively state of uncertainty about it. Then we have the metric weights and measures, which are used in scientific calculations, and the grams (not grains) and centimetres thus used are bewildering to ordinary readers.— American Agriculturist. Household Hints* To brighten the inside of a coffee or tea pot, fill with water, add a small piece of soap, and let it boil about for¬ ty-five minutes. The juice of half a lemon makes a very pleasant addition to either iced or warm tea. Of course milk should not he used with it ‘‘There is,” says the Scientific American, "a qualitative test for but¬ ter so simple that any housewife can put it into successful practice. A clean piece of white paper is smeared with a little of the suspected butter. The paper is then rolled up and set on Are. If tho butter is pure the smell of the burning paper is rather pleas¬ ant; but the odor is distinctly tallowy if the ‘butter’ is made up wholly or in part of animal fats.” Kectpea.

Horseflesh Is largely used for food In Manchester, England. The weight of Jumbo was 71-4 tons and his height 11 1-2 feet. A military haloon just invented in France is shaped like a whale and presents an extraordinary appearance when raised in the air. The people of Ceylon use honey in¬ stead of salt for preserving meat, A traveler says meat so preserved is of exquisite flavor. It is kept in earthen pots and remains good for several years. At a recent grarge fair in Lunen- burg County, Va., the wife of Hev. Mr. Allen exhibited a curiosity in the of „ lady , , , , bonnet _ made . entirely , shape a s of fire-cured tobacco. It was a beau- tiful specimen of ladies’ handiwork. The first Sunday school in the Unit¬ ed States was held in Roxbury, Mass., in 1674. A Sunday school was estab¬ lished in Ephrata, Pa., in 1740. The first of modern Sunday schools in this country was instituted by Bishop Asbury, in Hanover County, Pa., in 1786. The Greeks devoured the flesh of thS hedgehog. When it has been w ell fed it is sweet and well flavored, and the flesh is eaten in many places in Eng¬ land and on the Continent. An American gentleman who partook of this dainty stewed, on the other side, says it reminded him a good deal of quail. Mr. Hallam observes that though the English law never recognized the use of torture, yet there were many instances of its employment in the reign of Elizabeth and James. He further adds that during the latter part of the reign of Elizabeth “the rack seldom stood idle in the tower.” Attention has been called to two races of men that must soon become extinct. At the present rate of de¬ crease, the Maoris of New Zealand— now reduced to les3 than 45,000 men from 100,000 in Capt. Cook’s day— must have disappeared by the year 2000. The Laplanders are estimated not to exceed 30,000 in number, and are gradually becoming fewer. The First World's/fair. In a history of World’s Fairs the Chicago Herald gives the following account of the first one ever held, in 1850: That was the first of the "World’s Expositions.” Victoria’s husband had it in his head that he ought to do some¬ thing besides the special something that he always did. He conceived the Idea of a “World’s Peace Congress.” To the Queen his word was law, and Sir Robert Peel was then her Prime Minister. She appointed Royal Com¬ missioners; Prince Albert was the head of course. The commission took out a royal charter, and by way of starting the thing borrowed $1,000,000 from the Bank of England. The city of London subscribed $386,000, and the royal commissioners borrowed $158,- 000 from private sources. The com¬ missioners erected a splendid crystal palace in Hyde Park on plans of Sir Joseph Paxton, and after the show this was removed to Sydenham, where it was the starting point of a greater building. This is perhaps the only world’s fair or exposition that ever ie- sulted in profit. The London Woild’s Fair of 1851 w s a bonanza. The building cost $695,000. It sold after¬ ward for $365,000. The total number of visitors was over 6,000,000. There were 14,000 exhibitors. The gross re¬ ceipts were $2,952,585, and the expen¬ ses were $1,424,882, showing a balance of over a million and a half in favor of the Exposition. But the English managers were shrewd commercial men; they made every penny count The heavy receipts were in the earlier days of the show, when a guinea was charged. This gradually went down until the close. Again, they made use of privileges. They sold rights and exacted royalties. For instance, from the care of umbrellas alone they got $4,000. From their catalogues they got $16,000, and from their ice cream stands alone they cleared $27,000. The net results of the great London Exhi¬ bition of 1851 was a million and a half of money and a wonderful boom in the way of the world’s arts, and a million and a half of reasons why the show should not be repeated, unless a simi¬ lar show could be conducted under similar management. Fnll Houses at F,very Lecture. “Yes, I’m in the lecture business,” said the long-haired passenger, "and I’m making money, too—big money. I’ve got a scheme, I have, and it works to a charm. Big house, wherever I go” scheme?” "A “Yes. I always advertise that my lectures are specially for women under thirty years of age, and for men who are out of debt. You just ought to to sec the way people come trooping in.” —Chicago Herald. Boss of His Boots. During one of Col. Tom Scott’s visit to SL Louis, he was hailed on the street by a little bootblack with, “Boss, have your boots shined?” The colonel pleasantly shook his fin¬ ger at him, saying, “My boy, 1 am no boss.” The little waif swung his box over his shoulder, and, eyeing the great railroad king front head to foot, re¬ plied, "You are boss of your hoots, ain’t you?” Wise Woman of the World. The people who all are the going fun to reform it, the world by taking out of os you can the juice of a lemon, saya a writer in the Weekly Star, are wailing about the dreadful strain endured by a woman of society who atterds to her nocial duties. This may shock them, but it is the truth. A wise woman of the world is as well taken care of as a thor¬ oughbred racer, and so she does not break down. With exactly Maud the 8. is same precision os if she were she rubbed until her satiny skin glows, takes her beef tea when she comes in at night (in place of a warm mash), and is wise enoU gh, while she enjoys a good dinner, not to allow herself to eat too much or too often. She is not the woman who devours great quantities of sweets and ices at luncheons or teas. Instead, you will find that she is the wit, and “ or « dian often the wisdom of the aflair. fche is not the woman who j a( . Pa much—that will make her nose red and her digestion had—nor is she the one who never walks. AVhile she may despise the being who goes in for being au athlete, still the woman of the world takes sufficient ex¬ ercise to give a glow to her eyes and make her conscious of the luxury of her furs. Why, the most charmiug women of the day, those near whom men are eager to be placed at dinner, are women who have been in harness all their lives and seldom very young as far as actual years ionger go. The crudity of youth is no their’s, but in its place wonderful they have something much better, that ability ward of comfortable. making even the This mo.-t has awk¬ boy with come the not only from their contact world, but also from the education which it imparts to those it deems worth teach¬ ing—the knowing how to feel agreeable and the making of one’s comfort conta¬ gious. For comfort, like many a leas desirable sensation, is very contagious. Mandolin playing is one of the last fashionable crazes in Washington society. The Swedish Minister is said to be an ex¬ pert, and among the young ladies who are proficient in handling this instru¬ ment are Miss Myer, daughter of the late General Albert Myer; Miss Howell, Miss daughter of Admirable Howell; that and is Kilbourne. I he fact there no professor of the mandolin in Wash¬ ington is a matter of much regret to the other young ladies who are envious of the accomplishments of their more for¬ tunate companions, who, it is said learned to play abroad .—Chicago Ledger. Prof. C A. Donaldson, of Louisville, Ky., the well-known pioneer, in eighteen rid years spent $10,000 in trying to get of his rheumatism and failed. At last he used St. Jacobs Oil, was cured and sold his crutches.
