MARBLEHEAD, Mass, April 7.—The
Warren line steamer Norseman, which
went ashore on Tom Moore’s rock off
Marblehead neck more than a week ago,
was floated yesterday morning. She was
towed into Marblehea‘d harbor, where
divers made a thorough examination of
her hull, and, finding it possible to cover
the holes without beaching the vessel,
as the wreckers had planned _to do, it.
was decided to patch the apertures and

Our Little Girl Sufi‘ered With
An Awful Blood Disease
For Five Years!
She Was. lirhllfiiade Entirely
Well By Smith’s Glen hun-
' languish.
A Remedy That Has Given Hope to Thou-
sands of the Afflicted Through-
out America.
ERE is a case of a child
, suffering from a blood
disease that is particularly
harrowing.
. ' There is no need of par-
“ts allowing their chil- .
dren to show the signs of .
blood troubles any more 3
than there is need of older '
. people showing the raw
ages of such a disease; for
blood diseases, whether inher-
ited or contracted, can be an rely '
and quickly cured by the use of Smith’s
Green Mountain Ron orator.
Mrs. Clara. E. Holden, writes us
low, Vermont, as follows ;
“My little girl was 'a helpless cripple. She
suffered intensely for five years. Her trouble
was first-noticed when she was about live years
old. She had a. severe fall which seemed to in-
jure one of her bones, after which she suffered
terrible agonies. We employed the most skil-
ful physicians. She got worse, until there were
four running sores on her leg from the size of
a twenty-five cent piece to that of a silver dollar,
with several smaller ones appearing from time
totime.’ Finally her entire leg, from the knee
tothe ankle, was a. mass of sores, discharging
a great quantity of’small bones. I now have
one which measures three inches in length and
one inch wide. After failing to find any physi-
cian or remedy to help our daughter, we de:
cided to try Smith’s Green Mountain Renova-
tor. After she had taken a few bottles, she be-
gun to gain her strength, the sores gradually
disappeared, and finall y she was entirely cured.
For three years now she has enjoyed the most -
perfect health, and has gained the use of her
as entirely. I sincerely hope that others may
be blessed, as we have been, by nsmg Smith's
Green Mountain Renovator.”
Smith’s Green Mountain Renovator accom-
plishes the great good that it brings about in
the way of eradicating poison from the blood
by counteracting such poisons, and expelling
all depraved secretions from the body. through
the natural channels, in the meantime invigora-
ting and stimulating all the health maintaining
organs to perform this work. .The nerves are
strengthened and the patient is invigorated and
given strength in many cases in a. remarkably
short time. _ .
The fact that this specific contains no pogson-
our ingredients whatever is a great pomt in its
favor. _ , .

HANDY COMBINATION. .
Convenient Poultry Device \Vliich
Embraces Perches, Nests and
Feeding Troughs.
I have just been rebuilding one of my
poultry houses. The fixtures—perches,
nests, feeding troughs, etc—in the old
house did not suit me, and in looking
for a plan of Something better, I saw a
description of a combination of perches,
nests and feeding troughs, in an agri-
'cu1tural journal, that pleased me. Tak-
ing the idea from this, I have built 3. (led
vice, but have modified it to better suit
my purpose; and now I think I have
something very convenient. Anyone
that can handle a Saw, hammer and
square can make it. It can be set in
an part of the house, and is so made
that it can be readily taken apart for
cleaning, andkilling vermin.
First get some boards one inch thick
and 16 inches wide—12 inches will do—
and out two pieces 30 inches long for

end pieces, and two pieces 12 feet long—-
it‘ about 25 hens are kept—for top and
bottom pieces. Next out two pieces of
the boards same length for side pieces.
Next cut four pieces one inch thick,
four inches wide, and 24 inches long and
nail these cleats across the boards for
end pieces, four inches from one end, so
they will extend out four inches on
either side. Then out four more cleats
like the above, but only 16 inches long,
and nail these across the board 16 inches
below the other cleats, or 20 inches from
the ends. Now nail the long boards to
the end pieces where the cleats come, in
the same way as you would make a box
16 inches square, but hinge one of the
boards on the side for a door to open to
the nest boxes. '
Next nail two cleats 24 inches long
acress the end boards six inches from
the' bottom, so that the ends will ex-
tend out either side four inches, for a
support for the feed troughs. Make nest
boxes ten inches square, and eight
inches high, and s'et them in a row
close to the side next to the door, so as
to leave a space six inches wide for an
alley, from which the hens go to their
nests. At one end of the alley cut a
hole for the hens to come in. Cut two
pieces of board four inches wide to nail
on the sides of the platform under the
perches, then out two pieces six inches
wide to nail on the sides of the platform
to keep the manure on it. Make the
perches of 2x3 pieces, and cut notches
on top of the end boards to hold them
in place.
boxes may be hinged at either the bot-
tom or top; if at the top, it can be fas-
tened with a button. W’heu all is done,
give it a good coat of whitewash. The
nest boxes are easily removed and
cleaned, and if you have a setting hen
you can easily remove her on the nest.

NOTES FOR BEEKEEPERS. I
A small hive increases the tendency.
to swarm.
Seme queens are very prolific, much
more so than others.
Melt. candied 'honey very slowly or .
the flavor will be spoiled.
If necessary to use candy now use it
in wooden butter dishes.
Rosin should never be used to fasten
in the foundations; it spoils the combs.
The first honey of any account in
the spring comes from the golden wil-
low.
Take good care of the empty frames

spring.
Scrape sections when the propolis is
brittle, rather than in a warm room or
on a warm day.
, There is no danger of communicnt- ;
ing foul brood to a hive by use of a
comb foundation.
Winter disease or dysentery may
originate from impure honey, or from
long confinement.
It requires only a litile capitaltocom-
mence in beekeeping, two or't-hree col- ;
I
onies being enough.
Bee paralysis develops very slowly.
Often bees showing symptoms in the 3
fall do not die till spring. .
As soon as deep cell foundation is
given to the bees they begin to thin
down the walls to natural thickness.
When the cases are supplied with "
drawn comb and the beesare fairly at
work the desire to swarm is lessened.
l Bees will ,build combs in wired
frames just as readily as if no- wire
.were present. "They will deviate to
make a separate comb where the wire
is.—St. Louis Republic.
0nzlon Peeling in Nests.
One of the best materials for making
hens' nests is the outside peel of onions.
It will drive away if it does not destroy
hen lice. These peelings, or a piece of
the onion itself, ought to be always in
nests where hens are sitting on. eggs.
The warmth of 'the hen’s body will so
scent her feathers that the lice will be
glad to clear out, and the hen will be
equally glad to have them do so. With
a good place for rolling in the dust, un-
‘der cover, so that the} dust will not be
turned into mud, it is not difficult to ‘
keep hens free from vermin.

A Novel Buffalo Hunt
By John. H. Whitson
”WWW“
NE OF the foremost men of the
'West was Ben. C. J. Jones. of Gar—
den City, Kan. He had rare experience
as a plainsman, and, in days gone by.
won for himself the title of “Buffalo
Jones.” '
0n the .‘20th oprril, 1885, Jones, ac-
companied by Charles Rude and New-
ton Adams, left Garden City for the
Stakcd Plains of Texas, to hunt buf-
faloes, knowing that the remnant of the
great southern herd. was to be found in
that section.
Their outfit consisted of two mules
and three horses; one large wagon.
loaded with provisions, feed, tent,
blankets, ropesfind water barrels, and
a. spring wagon in which to reconnoiter.
They took their last supplies at Ken-
dall, on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe railway, and, after fording the Ar-
Pkansas by doubling teams, started in a
general southwesterly direction.
The country between the Arkansas
river and the Staked‘ plains is a level or
slightly rolling prairie, except along the
North and- South Canadian, where it- is
very blufi’y and abrupt, with occasional
sand hills.
Plenty of antelopes were seen, but
nothing of note occurred. until the 20th,
when they came upon a buffalo hull of
large size. .
He was alone, and when discovered,
made an effort to escape. Jones fired
from a. distance of 300 yards, and the
shot was instantly fatal.
The bull fell upon his knees, and died
in that position, instead of rolling over
ion his side, as usual. He was truly a
magnificent specimen, and weighed
nearly 2,000 pounds.
No more were seen until May 1. Signs
had. bee-n discovered on the previous
evening, and on that morning one of the
party remarked:
“I think we will strike buffaloes to—
day. I wonder who will be the one to
’get the first shot?”
. Events proved that Jones was to be
fortune’s favorite.
After traveling about five. miles,
their field glasses revealed a small herd
in the distance. Lassoes and ropes
,were'hurriedly got in order, and they
drove rapidly until within a half-mile,
when they saw that the herd consisted
of 20 old buffaloes and four calves.
As they had not yet- taken the alarm,
the horses were quickly saddled, Jones
walking by the side of his until he was
within about 400 yards of them.
He was strangely accoutred for abuf-

saddle and fired askapidly as possible.
The fourth shot took effect in her neck,
' and she drew ofli about a hundred yards,
where she ;stood angrily tossing. her
head. ,
This gave him a chance to, secure the
calf’s other leg and remove. the lasso.
Then .the cow Charged again, and, with
retreating herd, which was now nearly
while it lasted, but she was soon dis—
tanced. ' . -
'As he again came up, the cows that
fight. They retrea’ted- slowly, and were
evidently angry and».tired.
In view of his late eXperience, he
feared to loop another calf in the midst
of the herd, and the lasso had drawn
so tightly about his horse’s neck, he
could not easily undo it and- attach it
to the saddle.
Watching his opportunity, he sepa-
rated a calf, but the three cows instant-
ly charged 3him. Again and again was
this repeated.
Then he urged his horse straight at
the herd. It broke into a. hasty and.
straggling flight, and one of the calves
in a little while dropped behind.’ As
soon as it had. been left far enough, he
faced about to meet it, and had lassoed
it and tied one leg, when the cows
charged, and: he- was compelled to re-
mount.
There was now but one calf remain-
ing, and he was determined to have
that.
The. herd had resumed its flight.
After hard riding, he cut out the calf
and its mother. The cow fought des-
perately, and the calf kept so closely
to her, he could do nothing.
Finally, he fired in such a way as to
sting her slightly, when she made a sud—
den belt and changed her course. The
calf, however, kept straight on. Now
was the golden opportunity.
Around and around swungthe whis-
tling rope, and settled gracefully about
the head of the last of the four victims.
. There was nothing now to do but to
tie the calf down, and go insearch of
his companions, who were found far
back on the trail.
He then took the spring wagon and
went after the calves, but the one which
had a. hind leg free could not be found.
The next day they struck another
herd, out of which they got a fine speci-
men. They also found the lost calf, that
had somehow escaped the wolves, and
then headed for a ranch, distant about
50 miles. '
They remained at the ranch two days.
Then, having thoroughly rested, they
left the calves, and, taking eight days’

lasso, together with a number of singu—
larly—constructed ropes, hooked over
the horn of his saddle.
When it. is stated that his object was
, to capture the calves, the reason for his
singular outfit. is explained. One e-ndkof
the lasso was fastened about. his horse’s
_ neck, and the ropes upon the saddle
each consisted of a large loop, intended
to go around the calf’s neck, to which ,
were attached two short ropes, ending
in slip nooses 'to go over its hind legs. .
The mutual agreement of the party
was that no buffaloes wereto be slain——
except, of course, in self—deufense and
what might. be needed for meat—but
take the calves.
field to himself, and the others, being
practically out of the chase, followed
after with the spring wagon to pick up
the captives.
i Thinking he was close enough, he
‘ mounted. and, lasso in hand, made a
dash at the herd.
The’ buffaloes stared stupidly for an
instant as he came on, and then broke
,into a lumbering gallop that carried
them over the ground- at a rapid rate.
As soon as he drew near, the lasso -
' hissed through the air like agreatser- 3
pent and settled firmly over the neck
of the nearest calf. '
He then dismounted and dropped the ,
loop of onevof the small ropes over its
. neck. I
With considerable difficulty Jones
slipped the small nooses over the calf’s
hind legs. Then, remounting, he
dashed on after the herd, leaving the
. captured animal to get on as best it-
could. As he closed in with them, he
threw again and missed. Again the
circling rope whirled through the air,
' and with greater accuracy. This time
. he slipped the loop over the. calf’s neck.
' and had secured a leg, when he heard
an angry bellow. '
Looking up, he saw the calf’s mother
charging down on him with savage fe-
rocity. Her eyes had a dangerous
glare. and the thundering of her hoofs
seemed to shake the ground. ,
There was no time for hesitation, no
time for reflection. With one boundthe
reached the saddle. The infuriated cow.
was not two yards away. He spurred
his horse forward, and instantly found
himself riding a circle, of which the calf

rations, started for the Staked plains.
i To many the name suggests only
‘ deserts of burning sand. Ranges of
snodhills are occosionally encountered,
but the general character of the coun-
' try is that of a plateau, covered with
short tufts of buffalo and mesquite
grass. ,Thc cactus abounds in all its
cuf‘ious shapes and varieties, in many
; instances growing to the height of a
" man’s head. Water is occasionally
found in small lakes and pools, while
the deceptive mirages paint cooling
fountains and shadowy landscapes on
; every hand.
i in this region, in a flat between two
long ridges, theparty came upon about
300 old buffaloes and 50 calves.
Riding boldly into the midst of the
,' herd, Jones succeeded in roping a calf
and tying it. The buffaloes were in mo-
tion, and he left it with Rude and
Adams, telling them to follow and keep
the wolves from the calves he caught.
The buffaloes moved swiftly on. He
secured another calf, tied it, and had
started off, when three hungry wolves
came creeping toward it through the
short grass.
He rode back and wrapped it in his
coat to frighten them away. .
l The wolves were every moment grow-
ing bolder, and the bulls had again
formed a cordon for protection.
Dashing through this, he seized and
tied a third calf, and’lifting it to his sad-
dle, bore it to the outside and placed it
i near the sheltering coat.
In this manner be secured six. The
last struggled violently, and made a
great deal of noise. Its mother rushed
to its defense, and a number of'bulls
also came at him. ' '
As it was tied, he leaped on his horse
and abandoned it. Then he started the.
herd, and cutting off a number, tried to
drive them in the direction of the camp.
The mist baffled him, and his horse was
so worn down they escaped.
He had become entirely separated
from Rude and Adams, and only found
them after a long search.
Two days later tliey..reached their
ranch, and with their 11 calves, started
on the return journey, arriving at Gar~
den City, May 19, having been absent a
month. .
In this time they had traveled the
Cimaron, the North and South Cana-
dian, the San Franciscoand many other
rivers, and visited ‘a country of which,
