WAR RECORDS.
Bow Thoy era Compiled in
the Washington Bureau.
■ !
A Work, Only Half Done, Which will
Take Eighty Odd Volumes. !
In Washington, on G street, at tho j
corner of Twentieth, is an old mansion
which, forty years ago, was one of the
most aristocratic dwellings in the capital.
Il is of peculiar architecture. Its square,
plastered, brick walls, small windows j
imd turret-shaped roof give it somewhat
the appearance of a mediaeval castle. On
its front is a small gilt sign, considerably
dimmed by the action of frosts and rain, ,
which reads: “War Records Office.”
The whole building is occupied by
Colonel Robert N. Scott and his corps of
assistants, who are engaged in the work
•if preparing the official documents con-
reeted with the war of the rebellion for
publication. I
“Do you publish everything in the
way of records connected with the war!”
was asked of Colonel Scott the other day.
“Bv no means. If we did that we
could* almost say in the words of the
evangelist, ‘the world itself would not i
contain the books.’ At any rate, it
w ould not be exaggeration to say that it
w-ould take thousands of volumes to con¬
tain everything. We expect to print
about 80,000 pages. That will take |
eighty volumes or thereabouts. We are
not half through yet. Our idea is to
publish everything that is of historical
value. The great mass, of course, is very
uninteresting. But occasionally some¬
thing exceedingly rich and spicy is !
reached. Some things that appear of
small importance now may prove to be of
great incidental value in thc future.” I
“As you go through the great mass of
documents do you find many things that
wre different from currently reported
statements of events?”
“Many such things occur all thc while.
It is astonishing how treacherous one’s
memory is when applied to events that
occurred twenty-five years ago. This is
seen in the current discussious that are
going forward ail the while in the peri¬
odicals. Men unconsciously add a little
here and subtract a little there and for- ]
get a good deal more, and finally the
thing related bears no sort of semblance
to the real thing that happened. 1 some- I
times almost doubt mv ovn eyes and
senses and absolutely have to go and rest j
my faculties to see whether I really do
know w hat I am about or not. A good
illu’-tration of this occurred only a few
days ago. An officer of veracity and
candor was relating the part his regiment
took in the battle of Shiloh. When he
had finished I informed him that his reg¬
iment was not in the battle of Shiloh at
all.
“‘What! not in the battle of Shiloh?’
he ejaculated.’ ‘You don’t mean to say
that, do you?’
“‘I certainly do,’I replied.
“ ‘Well, I should like to know your
reason for making that statement,’ said
he.
(( l My reason for making it is your own
dispatch written thpe days after the bat¬
tle, in which you say your regiment was
not in the battle,’ said I. And I showed
him the dispatch. He adjusted his spec¬
tacles, read it over several times and ad-
mitted his error. His story was spoiled,
but history was vindicated.
“And so it goes all the while. There
is nothing like the written record to go
by. Men forget thc motives and the
feelings which actuated them a quarter of
• century ago. The jealousies and asperi¬
ties of that time have passed away. It
was a time when big men rubbed hard
together in the stern realities of war. It
was a time when mistakes were made and
experiments were being tried. But I
suppose if we were to have another war
we would hardly do much better. We
would probably be obliged to mako
about the same mistakes and try the
same experiments over again. It is the
way of humanity. One generation has
never yet profited much by the mistakes
of the one that has gone before it .-Phil-,
adeljihia Times.
Origin of Card (lames.
The origin of card games can not prob-
bly be traced with any certainty. It
has been generally believed that “play-
ing cards,” as they are known at the
present day, were invented by a French
painter named Gringonneur, for the
amusement of liis imbecile king, Charles
VI, and it is evident from the following
extract from an account of this king’s
treasurer, that thU artist did make for
this weak-minded sovereign some elegant
sets of cards: ‘Paid Jacquemcn Grin¬
gonneur, painter, for three packs of cards,
in gold and colors, of divers devices, to
present to said lord and king for his
amusement, sixty sols-pariscs.” But it is
claimed that he merely made copies, pos¬
sibly in new designs, of cards already
well-known, and that playing cards cam*
from the cast, their origin being lost in
remote antiquity'. The Gypsies may have
been thc first to introduce them into
Europe, but these were very different in
design andpuvjio.se from the cards used
in France. They had in the accidental
combination of their emblematical fig-
ures, a fancied interpretation of the will
of the unknown Gods, the games being
a series of questions addressed to fate,
and to the results of which the players
bowed with reverential awe. As early as
A. D. 1120, China had playing cards,
said to have come from India .—Good

Splendid Luck.
“Wliat luck did you have fishing

Austin gentleman of a well known im-

roa THE FARM AND UOMEt
f« Trap Kata.
Tlie etUtor of the Dural Fete Torker
has discovered a new method for ratch-
ing rats in a steel trap. After setting it
g0 it will spring easily, in any convenient
place where the rodents “most do con-
gregate," a piece of thin white muslin
about two feet square, more or le.ss, is
spread over the trap and over this are
scattered carelessly a few cookey, cake
or cheese crumbs. Having no fear of
evil from a white cloth, in eating the
crumbs, the rats are sure to get into the
trap, and the cloth does not prevent the
trap from holding them, When the
cloth becomes soiled or bloody it should
be changed for a fresh one. The editor
says the oldest and wisest rats are caught
as easily as the younger ones, and several
are often caught in quick succession in
the same trap set in the same place. The
method is certainly worthy of trial.

ficial to the hog’s stomach, when fed
largely upon corn. It is laxative and
cooling, allaying the feverish tendency
arising from the heating effects of corn.

1,oration of Farm lUiklclIiiRft find Or¬
chards.
The plan adopted by some farmers of
building upon the line of thc highway is
in bad taste, as the road is used some¬
what for barnyard, and in some instances
amounts to a nuisance and obstruction,
Having thus expressed disapproval of
the prevailing style, or want of style, thc
reader no donbt will-look for some plan
or suggestion that may be an improve-
ment. The best location for a farm is
on thc north side of the highway; as all
work seems to come right-handed as it
were, also receiving the direct rays of
the sun upon the fronts of the buildings.
Where the land is hilly and broken, wc
must make the best of thc situation, but
as most farms are level, or nearly so,
some general plan can be adopted, Do
not build west or southwest of the resi-
deuce, for sanitary reasons, ns the pre-
vailing winds come from these directions,
Build residences as central along the
highway as possible, and from four to
six rods back from the line; this will be
far enough to escape the dust from the
street, and make ample space for orna¬
mental purposes. Erect all outbuildings
in rear of residence, and in a line, on
one or both sides of a lane, being of
sufficient width for the easy turning of
teams; those in constant use first in line,
the larger hay and grain barns at farther
end of row, as their more central location
will shorten the haul at thc ingathering
of crops.
Another convenient plan is to build
along thc sides of a square, said square
forming a general purpose barnyard,
j Care .should be taken not to obstruct
direct view from residence into it.
The nndent custom of planting the or-
chard along thc highway should be nban-
doned in the future, as it greatly detracts
from a pleasing front view of thc farmland
obstructs a clear view of the roRd, which
is often desirable. The early pioneer m
1 his haste to raise fruit generally used the
fi r , t improvement made for this purpose,
j planting along the roadside, very close
to his dwelling, and in some instances
! surrounding i(. This lie regretted after¬
wards, for when about to erect perma-
nent buildings he not infrequently found
the orchard encumbering the coveted
ground.
Would it not be a better plan to post¬
pone planting orchards until more im-
prevements are made, then plant in the
rear of buildings, which in time will
form a beautiful background to them.—

There is no better fodder crop than
clover hay as food for sheep.
Chloride of lime in the runaway of
rats will both drive them away and serve
as an excellent disinfectant.
Sorghum makes an excellent fodder,
either when used green or cut and cured
like common grass and then fed out as
wanted.
Watch the potatoes, d they are
spouting rub off the spouts and reduce
the temperature of the cellar as much as
you safely can.
Do not keep different breeds of sheep
together. The conditions best suited to
some are not the best for others, and
w hcn mixed, the result will be that all
will come short.
Cane sugar, or sarrharo.se, occurs
chiefly in sugar cane, sorghum, thc sugar
beet and from the sap of thc sugar
maple; it also occurs in corn-stalks and
in small quantities in the grasses.
Grain-raising and pasturing may be
made mutually profitable for a time with¬
out a rotation of crops, but the time is
certain to c/jme when the grain farming
needs to be alternated with grass.
A hill of raspberry plants, after being
trimmed in the spring, should only have
three or four canes, about three and a
half feet high and nearly on* inch in
diameter at the base, each cane having a
few 6ide spurs about ten inches long.
Ho is rated the best farmer who cuts
the greatest number of tons of hay and
can keep a corresponding numberofcat-
tie to the hundred acres throughout the
year without the aid of foreign supplies. ,
It will not do to run a plough through
an orchard, as the roots of the trees
may be cut and hacked to pieces so |
greatly as to do injury. A light cultiva-
tor may be of service, however, as by its
use weeds and rank grass may be kept
down.
Sickly looking plants may he taken out j
of their old pots, the roots washed, and
weaker branches trimmed and placed
into as small pots as the roots can be ,
placed into. Let such a plant remain ,
there until by good growth it have shows its |
healthy roots, then it may more'
earth in a little larger pot.
There is a great difference in the value j
of barnyard manure, and much of it, if j
analized, would show that the quantities
usually applied pe, ae,e eoa.ala ee.,1,
less plant food than the common dress- i
ingsof commercial fertilizers. But the
rotting of manure in the soil helps to de-
eomnose ^ the latter and is thus a double
help -
A successtul grower of carnations has
found lime tobea good fertilizer for
them. They will be roue nergrown
in soil containing lime than in any other.
It also prevents the attack of worms.
The red spider and green fly may be
overcome by the application of tobacco
water, although many tourists prefer
fumigation with tobacco smoko.
In planting a now bed of asparagus
the first and most requisite thing is the
selection of suitable soil, which should
be a light, sandy loam or clear sand,
without stones or gravel. Seed should
be carefully selected from the largest and
most productive roots, and planted as
early in the spring as possible, in heavily
manured, clean land, in drills about one
foot apart and eight or ten seeds to the
foot.
The natural course of any stream
of water is crooked and interferes
with profitable cultivation even of
grass, as in these days all the mowing
has to he done by horse power and ma¬
chine. It is a great advantage to open
a straight open ditch through a meadow
where the brook runs. The fall will be
better in a straight line, and if tile or
stone drains art- run into this open ditch
from all the low places the land thus re¬
covered will almost certainly be the most
productive on the farm.
The peelings and refuse cut away from
potatoes in preparing for cooking are
usually thrown in the swill barrel and
fed to the pigs. This is not the best use
that can be made of them, especially
when green food is scarce. If the small
amount thrown out every day is saved
for the horse or the milch cow, it will in¬
crease the appetite and help keep the
animal in better health. Fed to a cow
it will increase the milk supply, and thus
feed the pig nearly or quite as well as
raw potato parings would do.
ilouMeliold Hints.
Tin ware washed in soda water will
look like new.
To keep postage stamps from sticking
together, rub over the head; the natural
oil on the hair oils them.
Salt extracts the juices from meat in
coo king. Steaks ought not therefore to
be salted until they have been broiled.
In darning woolen socks, make the
first layer of stout thread, and the cross
threads of woolen yarn. It makes a firm,
smooth darn, which wears well.
Try one of the smallest coal oil lamps.
It looks like a toy, but for a hand lamp
it will make as much light as a good tal¬
low candle, and will not drop sparks.
Finger marks may be removed from
varnished furniture by the use of a little
sweet oil upon a soft rag. Patient rub¬
bing with chloroform will remove paint
from black silk or any other material.

Rvprimantletl in Church,
It was years ago, writes Ned Buntlinc
in the Detroit Free Pres*. I had no gray b J
. hairs . in . my top-knot, , no wrinkles . ,, in . my
face, few griefs in my bosom. I had
business in Quincy, III., and had to stay
over Thanksgiving day there. I was invit-
ed by a fair friend j who ,,, belonged , to , the ,
choir of a popular church to go with her
to hear the Thanksgiving sermon.
It was one of the old-fashioned kind,
long, theological and dry. I sat where I
could look out, on a vacant lot beside
the church. In that lot alone, wandered
one poor goose—apparently seeking in vain
some way to get out. I saw it and a
thought struck me. I wrote a paraphra-
sic verse on the blank leaf of my fair
friend’s singing book. These were the
words:
'Twas the last goose of autumn
Left standing alone;
All its feathered companions
Were slaughtered and gone—
Not a goose of its kindred,
Not a gander was nigh
To list to its sorrow,
Or yield sigh for sigh 1
I handed the book over to the lady and
pointed to the unhappy goose in that
back yard.
She tittered and handed the book tc
the next member of the choir.
The verse was read, the goose looked
at and so it went all through that large
choir.
And all this time the preacher was
watching me while he went on with his
sermon. When he saw that the choii
was in full blast of glee he broke out:
“It .... is bad enough , for r the members ol
