r— 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 Housekeeping.

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. __ - rotator, a. 1*1* Food.

This is duc to the fnct that the P otato i8 com ’ posed so largely of starch as to make cooking an ulmost indispensable aid to digestion. A little raw potato is bene¬ 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. When fed to realize the most benefit from them for fattening, they should be boiled soft, and if grain be fed with them ’ the y should be boiled t0 S ether - Potatoes ™ d ™rn go well together, the formc ‘ r P ivin P bulk and thc lntter con ‘ <*ntrated nutriment.

Al- though mor* nutritious than other roots, the P° Uto > nevertheless, is 75 per cent. water, so that its nutriment value is fnr below that of corn. In fact, it takes 383 pounds of potatoes to be equivalent in nutriment to 100 pounds of dry com. 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.— Michigan Farmer. F'ftrni nitrl 4*ar<l«» IVolei. 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.

Jellied Chicken .—Boil a chicken until the meat slips easily from the bones, re- ducing the water to about one pint in the boiling. Pick off the meat in good sized pieces, taking out all the fat and bones. Skim the fat from the liquor, add a little butter, pepper and salt to taste, and add one-lialf an ounce of gelatine. When this dissolves pour it hot over the chicken, The liquor should be seasoned highly, as the chicken absorbs much of the flavor.

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 I, the choir , . to ... bring strangers into .... then circle, . , but when , such , strangers are so j ’ ; irreverent . as to write . notes in .... the singing ) , s “ books to excite . laughter, it . . time is more ! man of , God „ , can , bear in silence!” a _ I felt , , worse than , that , . goose, you bet, j and then have T I , tried , never since tc make , fun . choir, , . in a A Wity Out of llio Hifllnill}.
