Without qualification that th lte;uiU

been no doubt for a long time. As to

et Careful, conKervatlve rni'ti, such
Mr. Payno la known to be. do not
hesitate at this time to predict Mr.
Root's nomination for the Vice Presi

year.
That Mr. Root la willing t: go on
the ticket with Mr. MeKlnley there H
not the slightest doubt. It may be
said that even the Secretary la am
bitious to procure the vico presidential
nomination; In fact. It Is known that
Li haa aspirations of that tharactci.
He la perhaps better equipped for the
place than almost any other New York
man who has been mentioned In thlj
connection. It Is believed that he
would be acceptable to Senator Piatt,
"who by tho way, was largely instrumen
tal lu having him appointed ikcretary
Alger's successor In the cabinet. When
Mr. Piatt was asked to-night whom ho
favored for the Vice Presidential
nomination, he said:
"Any good New York man would
ult me."
"How about Mr. Root?"
"Mr. Root would be satisfactory."
was Mr. riatt'a reply. "McKinley will
be nominated by acclamation."
Aa to the matter of nominating the
entire ticket by acclamation, there is
reason 3 e"eve that the text Re
publican national convention will es
tablish such a precedent. Senator
Hanna haa conceived the lde.i ard It Is
remarkable how favorable it is being
received. The Senator has confided
his proposition to a few friends and
they fife enthusiastic over it. Mr.
Hanna believes that Inasmuch a3 Mr.
MeKlnley will be renominated in that
manner, his running mate should be
accorded the same distinction.

While In (ireensbcro thin time Dr.
Lewis made another discovery which
goes far toward proving the correct
ness of bis fofmer report. In t'c3t re
port he gave I: as Ills opinion that tlv.
cauf;e of the fever vad Impure v. ell wa
ter. This opinion was barne o:t
by a bacteriological examination of the
water by Dr. Albert Anderson, but it
was noted as u remarkable fact that
only students who lived in the college
dormitory were kick, while tlie day
scholars living In the city were not
affected.
This, however, va3 explained Wed
nesday when the janitor of t'a? College
building, Zeke Robinson, a negro from
thy city, on being questioned said that
he had been accustomed to fill the wa
ter coolers In the buildings, from which
both day and boarding pupils drank,
with water from a mineral spring near
by. But the servants in the kircien. It
was learned, supplied the table with
water from the central well the one
found to badly infected. And this ex
plains how it was Uiat the boarders
became pick while the day pupiLs re
mained well. Robinson, who is a vary
reliable negro, on being questioned as
to why he hud made the change in the
water, said it was because Mr. Forney,
the burscr, had complained that the
well water tasted bad.

Feetlin-r of Lime to Fowl.
It is a general supposition that limo
must be given fowls in tho shape of
grouna or cracked shells, mortar, etc.,
but a close examinatiou will show
that lime exists in all food, and in
sufficient quantities to snpply the ne
cessities of the birds. Oyster shells,
or old lime, consist of carbonate of
lime, which is insoluble iu water.
The birds can derive no benefit from
it until it is dissolved. Whether lime
or oyster shells is chemically changed
in the gizzard or digestive organs
from a carbonate to a muriate, or some
other form, is difficult to state, but
the lime probably undergoes no such
change. It is, of course, mechani
cally reduced to a very fino condition
by tho gizzard, and is passed into the
intestines, but that it enter3 into the
circulation, or is directed to the for
mation of the egg shell, i3 a matter of
doubt on the part of some. Ground
shells assist the gizzard to reduce the
food. If pounded or broken shells
are placed before the hens they will
select the sharpest or roughest pieces
to be found and care but little for
those that aro liner, which is evidence
that they swallow the shells for the
purpose of grinding the food. The
lime in the food exists in many forms,
and if the ashes of the foods be exam
ined lime will be found in excess, thus
demonstrating that tha shells come
from the food rather than from the
lime taken in the crop in the shape cf
oyster shells or mortar. In taking
this position we may be in error, but
as hens lay well where there is no
lime obtained except through the food
consumed, while others - lay soft
shelled eggs though freely supplied
with lime, it leaves room for reflec
tion. Farm, Field and Fireside.
.
Nerves and Food.
It is the nervous cow that gives the
greatest amount of good milk. One
inclined to go to fat makes an ex
cellent beef cow, but a relatively poor
milker. As the nervous cow is apt to
be smaller in proportion than a large,
fat, beef-making cow, the idea gains
some headway that she requires less
food. Indeed, there is a tendency in
some quarters to reason that a cow
needs food in proportion to her size;
that is, a large cjow requires more
thau a small one. This is an error
of a most pronounced order. It is
nervous energy that absorbs and uses
up food, and it requires more to feed
such a nature than it does one cf a
phlegmatic disposition. If anything
tha opposite to what i3 true in general
practice should be observed. More
rich and highly concentrated food
should be given to the small milker
than to the large beef maker. The
good milker, if her digestion is good,
can change more of her food into milk
than another animal can convert into
beef or fat. A good deal of this food
that is given to the milker is con
verted directly into milk,' and is thus
more profitable than when fed to the
beef cattle.
The nervous animal's mechanism
is more easily deranged than that of
the heavy beef-making animals. A
plow horse can stand more abuse than
the high-strnhg race horse. Many
dairymen do not appreciate this thor
oughly,, either in their feeding or
caring for good milch cows. As the
whole value of tha animal's poducts
depends very closely upon the condi
tion of her digestion, a study should
be made constantly of the cow's
health. In a normal condition she
can take a great amount of food and
convert it .directly into milk. This
food should be given with the best
possible caution, bo that it will not in
jure the health of the animal. Give
all to the cow that she will eat np
clean is a good rnle to go by, but if
her appetite declines there is some
thing wrong -with her digestion that
needs instant attention. Very fre
quently this cause is so simple that
one overlooks it. In nervous cow
a sudden fright, undue excitement or
running in the field, or anything that
will upset the nerves, may cause the
flow of milk to stop temporarily, and
upset the digestion so, that the full
quantity of milk will not be given for
weeks. It is to guard against such
slight accidents that the dairyman
must exercise his supervision and
authority. His cows aie higb-strung
milking machines that will easily give
out under abuse or misuse.-. W.

A Weed Careen.
It Is remarkable how many really
beautiful flowers are discarded be
cause ordinarily they are classed as
weeds. A woman who had plenty of
land and 11 taste for experimenting
made a "weed garden" this year which
Is a great success. She doesn't know
the names of all the outcasts she has
gathered in. but she noticed last year
all the wild thing; that grew and flow
ered neglected by the wayside, and
transplanted those that appealed to
her most strongly.
"The main reason." she urges, "that
they attract so little notice when grow
ing wild is that they are not massed
and arranged as we place cultivated
flowers to get the best effect. Now,
that is what I have done. A wild
flower, or a weed, as it is scornfully
termed, that is too fragile to be
thought much of will make a delicate,
feathery mass which will be vastly
admired when planted together by the
score or niore."

Sh:rp Rs'orl of Gus Thomas.
Maurice Barrymorc's wit is far
famed, but a neat little witticism at his
expense, hitherto unrecorded, was Au
gustus Thomas' laconic criticism of
one of Barrymore's plays, says the New
York "World."
The celebrated playwright had been
mercilessly picking flaws in the actor's
drama until the good-natured "Barry"
winced.
"Oh, come, Gus!" -he interrupted,
"don't be quite so hard if it's not an
'Alabama.' Just remember that I wrote
it in a week."
"Did you; Barry?" retorted Thomas.
"Then you must have loafed."

Acquainted With David Harum.
Rev. Dr. A. I.. Frisbic, of Dcs
Moines, Ia., was in Syracuse recently,
says the 'Tost Standard." Dr.
Fnsbic is an old Onondaga
county, boy. his youth having been
passed in Otisco. He mentioned read
ing "David Harum" with keen enjoy
ment, having had some acquaintance
with the title character.
'.'When I was a student at Homer
Academy, a good many years ago," he
said, "David Harum kept a livery sta
ble, and I sometimes hired a horse and
sleigh of him to take a girl to a party.
I did not then recognize Dave as a
philosopher perhaps he didn't himself
but only as a sharp hand at a bargain.
But as he stands in Mr. Westcott's
book he is a character unique in litera
ture and very interesting."
-As the French government will

ed. It is not yet definitely known
whether the Czar and Czarina will make
the journey to Paris, but a house has
already been purchased for them in the
