The two railroads which pass through Mentor cut the Garfield farm. Tem- porary stations were built on the farm for the accommodation of pilgrims. Day after day the train would drop off hundreds and frequently thousands of curious persons who were bound to see the candidate. It was not long be fore the little path from the railroad stations became a broad thoroughfare entirely denuded of vegetation. The relic hunters began their work of stealing the flowers and plants from the flower beds. When these were ”all gone the trees and shrubbery were at- tacked for souvenirs. Then a raid was made on the cornfield. First to go was the sweet corn, which the Gen- eral had hoped to have for table use. Then followed the common field va- riety as it matured. Sticks and stones were carried away, and pieces of the fences and the buildings even were taken. One of the most popular relics with visitors was an apple from the Garfield orchard. Apples were very plentiful that year, and General Gar- field had an orchard of trees well la- den with fruit. Every apple he had was carried off by his visitors, and I venture to say that there are in the land, kept as precious mementoes of that campaign, thousands upon thous- ands of dried- and withered apples stuck full of cloves to preserve them. The owners of these relics do not know that most of them did. not grow in the Garfield place. The neighbors of the General had to come to his res- cue from this invading army of petty thieves, and they found a way to help him when they learned that the visi- tors had turned their attention to the orchard. Every night the neighbors would drive around to the General’s orchard and dump wagon load on wa- gon load of apples beneath his trees. It did not seem to matter to the relic hunters that there was a dozen differ- ent varieties of apples under one tree. and that none of them was the sort the tree produced; they grabbed at the chance to .get an apple and take it away as a reminder of the visit. By ‘salting’ the Garfield place with relics the General's neighbors and friends think they prevented his house from being carried away pleccmcal.”—New York Sun. WON WITH A GARTER. A Young Actress “7110 Knows the Art of . Wearing “ the Colors.” A young actress by the name of Lillian Green has recently married Mr. Charles Flamen Adee, who is a young man of social prominence, a graduate of Yale and belongs to the best clubs in New York, where he re- sides and is also a member of the Sev- enth regiment of that city. Last sum- mer Lillian sprang into fame by means of a garter. It was an elaborate af- fair, showing the colors of one of the regiment’s crack companies. The night she appeared on the stage wearing it, she was cheered to the echo by some of the regiment’s boys who were present, when with a whirl of her dainty petti- coats their colors came into view. Then the story leaked out that Miss Green for she- had not yet changed her name, was friendly with one of them, whom she called “Jack,” and who was away in Europe, and that the now famous ribbon had been given to her by another of the same com- pany named “Charlie.” When “Jack” returned from his travels he was not a bit pleased, and threatened, so they say, all sorts of punishment to the person who had trified with the colors of his corps. “Trifledl” exclaimed the lady, in- dignantly. She at once gave him up and encouraged “Charlie’s” rcdoubled attentions. Her engagement to “Charlie”"' was soon announced, and on its heels came the rumor that they were married. This she admitted and then denied. Her mother did the same, but now ac- knowledges the fact that her daugh- tbr is Mrs. Adee. Local Love Signs. In Kansas they say a young fellow is sweet on a girl when he helps her to pen the pigs. If a Kentucky maid- en steals the little silk bow from the lining of a young man’s hat and wears it in her shoe she expects him to pro- pose Within a month. In Maine the signs are favorable when a young man asks for a steady horse that will jolt along with the lines thrown about the whip. In Texas that absent-mind- edncss which .denotes love is attribut- ed to a young man who forgets his revolver when he goes to a dance. In Lower California the ardent inhabi- tant begs a wooden shoe from his .sweetheart to keep his'tobacco in. Unanimously Correct.

On‘one of our small coast-survey .:hooners there was once a litter of apples belonging to the captain. .‘hcy were only to be allowed to re- .nain on board until old enough to leave their mother, but during their stay on board what scurrying, scam- pering, frolicsome nuisances they were! The smartest and most ener- getic puppy of the lot was a little fluffy black and white spotted fellow called “Spottycus, the Gladiator,” and he led the others into mischief. The puppies had their meals immediately after the ward-room officers. Spotty- cus evidently considered it an in: fringemcnt of his dignity to be rele- . gated to the second table, and so one day he led a crusade. It was a warm summer evening, and the ward-room Officers were just being helped to their soup, when there was a rush overhead, followed by a most fearsome succession of tiny barks. The officers looked up, and beheld every one of the open sky-lights overhead occupied by a little dog reaching over as far as he could get, his mouth open and his little red tongue hanging out. The first lieutenant arose from his seat in horror, but as if that had been the signal agreed upon, Spottycus slipped from his hold and plunged headlong into the turcen of hot soup. As in duty bound, the others followed his example, and for a while, in the midst of sounds of breaking glass- ware, the thud and splash of falling bodies and a prolonged and horrible yelping, squealing and whining, it rained puppies. - Their ncxt exploit was to fall over- board all together, being led as usual by the indomitable Spottycus, whose cheerful disregard of consequences was something appalling. They were rescued from a watery grave and wrapped up in hot towels. whence they escaped to eat a lot of poisoned fly-paper. They became deathly sick, of course, and all that night had to be attended by two of the officers and most of the crew. After this they were sent ashore, having been found beyond control. Finance in the Sunday School. The Sunday school needed money, and Mr. Smart, the superintendent, had a new way of getting it, says London Tid—Bits.._ He proposed giving each boy half a crown. At the end of ‘a month the principal, together with what it earned, was to be returned to him. The fourth Sunday found the super- intendent ready to audit the profit and loss account, and be commenced .with Johnnie’s class. “How have you done, Johnnie?” “My half-crown has earned another one,” said Johnnie, with the air of one having an option on a halo. “Good!" said the superintendent. “Not only is Johnnie a good boy in helping the school, but he shows bus- iness talent. Doubling onc’s money in a single month requires no com- mon ability. Who can tell but what we may have another budding Croc~ sus among us? Johnnie, you have done veil. And, now, Thomas, how much has your half—crown earned?" “Lost it,” said Thomas. “What!” Not only failed to earn anything. but actually lost!" said Mr. Smart. "How was that?" “I tossed with Johnnie,” was the re- ply, “and he won.” His Head Buried in kind. William a typesetter, was the victim of a most peculiar accident while out gathering chestnuts at Ro- selle, N. J.. in the autumn. Norris was up a tree shaking down the nuts, when a particularly hard gust of wind swayed the tree violently, and Norris fell to the ground, a distance of twen— ty feet. The ground beneath the tree is nat- urally soft and marshy, and the re- cent rains have left it extremely soggy and soft. Norris, in his fall, struck on his head in a lot of ooze and mud, and/ was buried up to his neck in it. When his companions reached Nor- ris, expecting to find him dead and with his neck broken, they saw him, instead, kicking his heels in the air and endeavor-lug to pull his head from its muddy place. They quickly dragged Norris from his slimy pillow, and he was as black as night when he sat up, dazed and gasping for breath. 7 ' Norris's nose bled freely for a time, and he suffered from a strained back, but after he had washed the mud from his face he seemed to be as well as ever. lorries, Stories of \Vebster’s Youth. As a boy Daniel Webster was not overproud of labor. On one occasion his father returned from a short journey and found certain work un- done. Summoning the boys, he asked, sharply: “Ezekiel, what have you been doing?” “Nothing, sir,” was the reluctant reply. “Well, Daniel, what have you been doing?” “Helping ’Zeke, sir,” was the prompt and cheer- ful answer, and the father’s anger was lost in his mirth. Onanother oc- . casion Daniel was put to mowing, but complained that his scythe “was not hung right.” “All right,” said his father,; “hang it tosuit yourself.” Thereupon Daniel hung the scythe upon a tree, remarking: “There; that is hung to suit me.” no more that day. The Only Way. Professor (lecturing on the gorilla)— Gentlemen, you must give .me your undivided attention. It is impossible for you to form a true idea of this animal unless you keep your eyes fixed on me. ' And he mowed ‘ ‘ c When a little one in t i expected in the family how who... , , lovingly the parents plan together for its future well- fare. They sometimes even forecast its education and career. Does this seem too early to anticipate while the child is yet unborn? It isn’t. The child’s des- tiny has already been partly mapped out by Nature according to thedisposition and habits of the parents. The best plan a mother can make for the future happi- ness of her unborn child is to maintain her own cheerfulness and health while her child’s undeveloped being is still a part of hers. Her health at this critical period is of tremendous consequence to the little one’s whole future existence. Every prospective mother will find direct nourishment, comfort and sustaining strength, in Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre- scription. It will maintain her vitality both bodily and mental; shorten the pen- od of confinement and make labor easy and almost painless. It imparts strength and elasticity to the organs concerned in par- turition, invests the mother w1th recu er- ative energy against any after .pen'o of weakness and depression, and aids in the secretion of healthy nourishment for the child. It is the unfailing cure of all “ fe- male weaknesses.” Dear Doctor—Your “ Favorite Prescription," is the best medicine to take before confinement that can be found.

Proper Things in Colors, Belts, Bows and Trimmings Generally. in dress this winter, and there is red in our hats, red linings in our dresses and wraps and red gowns. Tailor gowns of black cloth, with bright colored cloth boleros braided so closely with black that the color just shows through, are popular this season, and red is the favorite shade. Zouaves trimmed with gold buttons are pretty for cloth gownsfhud the wide ceintures are very often [Hilde of chino silk. Plaid silk waists, made with a bolero, and soft, full vest of black chiffon striped across with nar- row black satin‘ribbon, and a jabot frill of chififon, edged with ribbon, are effective with black cloth skirts.‘ Empire belts and belts of all sorts are the most conspicuous detail of dress this season, barring, of course. the little bolero, and they are made of satin and velvet and embroidered with beads, covered with an ap- pliqué 'of a contrasting color or draped plain as you wish. Some have a narrow double box plaited frill in the upper edges, and othcrs have a deep fringe at the bottom, but the most becoming belt is shaped wide un~ der the arms and tapers down at ‘the back and front. Leather bolts are all very narrow, and. the very latest nov- elty is bright scarlet. Walking gowns of cloth made with a coat and skirts to match are the latest fashions in Paris. And one novel example is in blue cloth with a loose sacque coat, cut short and rounded under the arms somewhat in the style of a bolero, giving it the ap- pearance of stole ends back and front. Two square tabs are cut on at each the fronts are lined with chinchilla, Which gives the effect of revers when the coat is open. All the edges are handsomely braided with black, and the skirt of the gown is cut in scallops on the bottom to show a plaiting of red silk, and each one is braided. Among the new cloth gowns there is 'every shade of red, but the dark rich reds are the most desirable. One of these is trimmed with bands of gray-green satin covered with guipure lace edged and crossed with black vel- vet ribbon. The yoke is of satin and lace, and squares of cloth trimmed around with velvet ribbon fall over the full cloth bodice. Another gown of moss-green cloth shows a full skirt platted on either side of the front. The. basque, platted front and back, is of green velvet trimmed with guipure, jet, and turquoise beads, and the lower part of the bodice, which is laid in crosswise folds, is of fawn and pink shot silk. ‘ Care of the Hal-3., ' Never drop anything into the ear un- til it has been previously warmed. Never attempt to apply a poultice to the inside or the canal of the ear. Never wet the hair if you have any tendency to deafness; wear an Oiled cap when bathing, and refrain from diving. ' Never scratch the ears with any- thing but the fingers if they itch. Do not use the head of a pin, hairpin, pencil tops or anything of that nature. Never put milk, fat, or any oily of pain, for they soon become rancid and tend to excite inflammation. Sim- ple warm water will answer the pur- pose better than anything else.

Simple Method of Testing the Eyes. The woman who rests every day is the woman who keeps young and fresh. If she is a woman of leisure, she may indulge in an afternoon nap, af- ter vial-cl: she will rival her daughter in userulnass. If she is a busy housewife. she should snatch at least half an hour a day for lying still in a darkened room. If she is a business woman, she must break into the afternoon with the only sort of rest. she can command—sitting still for ten or fif- teen minutes with the eyes closed, thoughts banished and muscles re- laxed. “Which advice,” some old bachelor remarks, “not one woman in 500 would think of doing nor could if she would.” A Good Disinfectant. One of the best disinfectants in the sick room is a basin of fresh water. Water is a great absorbent of nox- ious gases. Water that has stood open in the bedroom soon gathers im- purities and is unfit to drink. A wide- mouthed vessel of pure water will often do more to bring refreshing sleep to a nervous patient than will ‘ an opiate. This is not a story, but experience. - .
