When He Served the Queen.
1 serve-Hi the queen for several years,
and I look back on the experience with
neither horror nor shame. During the
twenty-five years that have passed since
then the amelioration in the condition of
the soldier has been incalculable. Bnt I
should be untrue to their memory if I
did not lift np my testimony that the
men of the old days endured their more
arduous lot with a grand primitive resig
nation. They knew that the quartermaster and
the butcher were in collusion in regard
to the meat ration, that the troop ser
geant major cooked their accounts, and
that the pay corporal had glutinous fin
gers. Their captain habitually addressed
them as brutes: the surgeon left his du
ties for days to go hunting. There was
no quick escape for them from those
abuses, for some of them were "lifers."
and all were long service men.
Bat there were no professional agita
tors in those days, nor any barrack room
lawyers "who knew their rights:" there
was not a great deal of that commodity
. of a little of which the poet speaks as
"a dangerous thing,' and there were no
halfpenny newspapers.. The discipline
was rigid, how rigid no younger of to

'A Patent Horseshoe.
A patent covers a horseshoe which pos
sesses many advantages. On its under
surface is stamped a pattern which gives
a number of points for the. securing of a
better grip on the pavement, and this,
where wooden pavements are used, is an
important consideration. The shoe is
about half the weight of an ordinary
shoe, being two and a half pounds the set
of four: it takes less time and less money
to fix, has only four nails, as against the
usual seven, i ' Being a three-quarter shoe,

The only preparation the hoof requires
after the old shoe' is taken off is that the
rasp must be used- on the toe and quar
ters, making a reduction of about one
eighth of an inch on the lower side Of the
hoof. The frog and heels and back part
of the foot should not be touched. This
hoe is made in accordance with the well

Policeman and Model.
There is a big, picturesque policeman
on the Broadway squad who is noted
among the habitues of the Rialto for his
flowing blond mustache, who turns an
occasional dollar as an artist's model.
Having posed during his watch on deck
for the benefit of the common people in
the flesh, he is transferred to imperisha
ble canvas to gladden the artistic eye of
generations yet to come. He has the
trunk and arms of a giant. In the opin
ion of a distinguished artist, this police
man is the best specimen of massive
physical perfection he ever saw. Of
course, the lady artists have all had a
hack at him with pencil and brush, for
which he invariably gets one dollar a sit
ting. No wonder he carries the air of a
man thoroughly satisfied with himself.

A foreign textile journal records the

which hits a novel and beautiful effect,
with a durability never before attained.
The peculiarity about it is that worsted
is used, for the thread forming the figure
of the design and alpaca or mohair for
the threads forming the ground of the
design ; The contrast between the lus

an effect that is strikingly novel.

AMATEUR GARDENING.
ATTEMPT OF A CITY MAN TO GROW
HIS OWN VEGETABLES.
Success After a Season of Apparently
Hopeless Failure The Trouble with
Books That Treat of Farming and
Gardening: How He Learned.
Unreservedly 1 want to give my experi
ence with a kitchen garden. I had never
tried anything of the kind before and a
more absolutely ignorant person as to
horticulture and gardening generally
never placed a spade in the earth or
turned np a grab- worm. I had no one
to lean upon for instruction and there
fore 1 attempted to make a vegetable
garden of about half an -acre, with no
other1 assistance than that furnished in
the books on the subject.
- These books utterly fail to take into
account the fact that city bred people
know nothing whatever about tilling the
earth, sowing seed and stimulating the
growth of plants. 1 was that kind of a
person and rashly attempted to make
my own garden.
1 am very glad, however, that I made
this attempt, for 1 learned, after the
many grievous failures in the first sea
son, that these books really did have a
meaning and that most of them were full
of sound advice, but they were not writ
ten for absolute beginners, but for those
who understood their technical jargon
and who had also had more or less ex
perience. For ' instance, when I read in my book
that 1 should plant this seed ip drills
and that in hills I was as ignorant as be
fore, and did not know what to do. Bat
1 did what seemed to me to be intelli
gent, and in most cases I was wrong.
The greatest mistake 1 made was in
planting everything too deeply arid also
in using too many seeds. And right
here 1 had as well give a rule about
planting which I learnd from Mr. Bur
net Landreth, of Philadelphia. There
may be exceptions to this rule, but for
the moment I do not recall any, except
that of green peas, and. that exception
is only a qualified one.
In planting seeds cover them with
earth to a depth equivalent to four times
the .diameter of the particular seed plant
ed, (n regard to peas, old fashioned
gardeners will insist that they must be
buried very deeply, else the yield will be
poor. This is quite true in regard to
peas planted for very late crops, for the
roots of such must be deep enough to with
stand the withering sun of midsummer,
bnt for the early varieties it is a decided
disadvantage to pat the seed down so far
that the beat of the spring sun cannot
readily reach them.
THE GENTLE ART OF HUSBANDRY.
But, I am way ahead of my 'story. My
purpose in writing this is to encourage
gentlemen living i the suburbs to culti
vate thiB gentle art of husbandry and
make their own gardens. The first sea
son nearly everything failed, thongh I
did get some lettuce, tomatoes, potatoes
and cucumbers. Indeed, I got all that
we needed of these. During the succeed
ing fall and winter ' 1 literally went to
school to every gardener and farmer 1
came in contact with. From the gar
deners 1 got as a rule very intelligent ad
vice, and this 1 put into my book in the
shape of marginal notes.
From the farmers 1 got little informa
tion worth the having. They seemed to
think that for the likes of me to expect
that garden truck would grow was little
less than presumptuous. Well, with this
information, added to my experience
and that set down in the books, I made
a regular plan for my 6econd garden,
and a very attractive map it seemed
when it was finished.
I did not attempt to economize space,
because 1 had more than 1 needed, and 1
therefore laid off beds with paths be
tween each and broad paths at either
end. These beds were thirty feet long
and four feet wide, the paths between
being a foot and a half wide, and those
at the ends three feet wide.
BETTER RESULTS.
I so apportioned my beds that I should
have all the vegetables I wished in sea
son. 1 tried peas, tomatoes, lettuce,
spinach, radishes, squashes, sweet corn,
peppers, bush beans, lima beans, cucum
bers, parsley, okra, eggplant, cauliflower,
cabbage, carrots, celery, onions, garlic,
salsify, potatoes, musk and water mel
ons. 1 succeeded admirably with all of
these ventures except with the melons.
Either the ground is not favorable for !
the growth of these or the season was
bad, or what is quite likely, 1 have not
learned the knack of cultivating them.
The cost was nothing at all. - 1 don't
count the labor 1 put on the garden as
an outlay at all. It was an income
rather. It took the- place of a saddle
horse, a bicycle or a gymnasium, for
during all the time that 1 was working
in ihe garden I put in as many hours at
my desk as it was wholesome for one to
do, and this outdoor work was exercise
which was really needed.
1 paid money for manure and other
fertilizers, it is jtrne, and also for seed,
but in balancing my books I found that
the ten bushels of onions and the twenty
bushels of potatoes 1 sold more than
paid for my outlay in money. The fact
is that 1 was . some six or seven dollars !
ahead, besides the summer supplies and ',
winter stores.
' Now. what 1 have done any man can '
do who can put in an hour and a half
every day with spade and hoe and rake.
The difficulty with beginners at garden
ing is that they are too easily discour
aged, and give up because they do not
achieve at the first attempt results like
those accomplished by the skillful pro
fessional gardener. New ' York Tele

AS OTHERS SAW HIM.
How General Sherman Got Some Queer
Information About Himself.
There was a big celebration by the
Grand Army, and as a special train full
of members from New York passed Eliz
abeth. N. J., a tall, gray headed man en
tered one of the cars and took a seat next
to a committeeman, who was decorated
with more badges and medals than a
French field marshal. -
'Going down to the jamboree, com
rade?" asked the committeeman.
. "Yes, sir." said the tall man.
In the war, eh?"
'All through." replied the newcomer,
with a smile.
"Of course you were with Grant, said
the New York member, with a humor
ous wink.
"Part of the time."
Well I was with Sherman Atlanta
to the sea. you know. Many's the jolly
night I spent playing poker with old Te
cump. He couldn't play worth a dern
though."
Couldn't, eh?" said the gray haired
veteran, with interest.
"No: it was like finding money. I've
a great mind to tell the boys of a little
incident that occurred during the great
march, but as the 'old man' is to be here
himself tonight I guess it wouldn't do."
"I shouldn't mind that."
'Well. 1 dnnno. You see. it was like
this: J ust after we struck the Weldon
railroad we had a fight. Abo'ut noon it
let up a little and Sherman and I bor
rowed a dram from the band for a table
and went into the bushes for a little
game of draw."
"Queer time for poker." .
Oh, yon see fighting was a chestnut to
us in those days, while poker was a good
deal. Well, I horsed the old man pretty
bad, and when at last he opened a jack
pot he was about cleaned out. so he wrote
out his pay receipt for the next month
and threw it in the pot. I raised him
$200. Just then a bullet zipped through
the drum and the action was under way
again. .
"The old man jumped up. Pete,' he
says Tecump always called me Pete
Pete, we can't play this hand just now,
but we"U finish it after the scrimmage.
Here. I'll put my hand under this stone
and you put yours in that hollow log.'
We did so and rushed for our horses."
"Hot fight that." said the tall veteran,
reflectively.
"Yon bet Every time 1 got near the
general he'd stand up , in his stirrups,
wave his sword and yell, 'A hundred bet
ter. Pete. and I'd holler back, 'A hundred
better nor you.' It was most night be
fore he called me, and then the pot was
a couple of thousand. After supper we
went out, hunted up the cards, and
showed 'em down. I.had three aces and
two kings, and Tecump had four kings
and an ace. Singular, wasn't it?" ,
"Remarkable How did you account
for it?"
Account for it? Why somebody had
been monkeying with the gen'ral's hand,
that's what! I don't insinuate anything,
mind, but yon can bet your boots I never
played Tecump again. But here's the

At a Charity Fair. .
A man who strayed into a "charity
bazaar" had a trying experience.
He had made several quite unsatisfac
tory purchases, not knowing-how to re
fuse the demands of the pretty sales
women, and at last, to prove that he
could make one sensible investment, he
bought a small matchbox and carried it
off in triumph and haste. :
Examining it after he had left the
booth, he discovered that there was n
i ;e on which to light the matches.
So. with the air of one determined not
to be cheated, he marched back to the
young lady of whom he had bought the
box.
"There is a mistake here," he said.
You sold me this pocket matchbox, and
there is no place on it to scratch the
matches."
"My dear sir," said the young lady,
you are quite right; 1 made a mistake.
That is intended for a jewel box and
costs fifty cents more, if you please."
"And what did you do?" asked a friend
to whom he related his tale of woe
"If you've ever been to a fair," replied
the other in an aggrieved tone, "you
know very well what I did. 1 paid the

Children Who Work Ten Hours a Day.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, looks
upon the employment of young children
in mercantile houses as a serious eviL'
"There are no statistics," said be, "to
show the number of children under four
teen years of age thus employed, but it
must be large. I believe that some chil
dren under eight years of age are em
ployed in mercantile houses, and 1 know
that their wages seldom exceed two dol
lars per week, while for a single day's
absence they are docked much more than
it single day's pay. The average pay is
probably not more than $1.50- per week,
and many small children receive but one
dollar' per week. There has been no at
tempt to organize Children into labor
unions because the thing is impossible.
They could not act of their own volition.
The hours of children in mercantile
houses are- ordinarily from 7:30 a. m. to
6:30 p. m., and in the holiday season as
late as 10 p. in. Many such children are
set to work not so much from the heed
as from the greed of parents." New

Filth Avenue Stages. ' .
. lt Is just like Paris or London, yon
know." was the excited comment - of a
lady seated high up on the roof of a
Fifth avenue stage1 And if it isn t
i "just like" this ride up from the Wash
, ington arch to Central park is a strong
reminder of "London from the Knife-
board" and the pleasant hours to be
spent on top of the Parisian 'busses. In
New York the possession of the roof is
most vigorously contested by ladies.
It is the vantage ground from which
the visitor to the metropolis gets- the
best view of the storied wealth and
grandeur of Fifth avenue. In the cool
of the evening it is where tired shop
girls and their ardent escorts, yonng
couples arrayed' in their best suits of
clothes, take a happy evening out above
the maddening crowd. Ten cents a pair
goes immeasurably further on top of a
Fifth avenue stage than twice the money
in ice cream. The inside of the stage
may be empty it usually is in fair
weather as long as one vacant seat re
mains on top The seeker after fresh air
and the sights of the streets declines to
ride anywhere else but on the roof.
If four times the number of coaches
were run the roof seats .could contain
but a small proportion of those who de
light to use them at certain hours of the
day If you desire to enjoy the finest
street of residences in the world from
the most advantageous point . of , view
yon must go down to Washington place
and start with the stage. And right
there is where you occasionally get the
additional treat of a dozen half hysterical
women and shouting young girls scram
bling up a steep, crooked. 8-inch stair
way for the first time. From that time
you will probably think the abolition of
the old Broadway stage was a mistake,
and that all they needed was a double
row of roof seats to have converted them
into a joy forever. New York Herald.
Tnis Pensioner 11 a u a jueer career.
Frank M. Pennington, a well known
citizen here, has just beeu granted a pen
sion of eight dollars a month. This was
one of the most complicated and interest
ing claims which has ever been filed in the
pension bureau. He is a native of Florida.
In April, 1861, he enlisted in a Confederate
regiment for ninety days. Just before his
term expired he was conscripted for three
years. At the battle of Kenesaw Mountain
he was captured.
While a prisoner in Illinois he enlisted
in the United States navy, on board the old
-Ironsides, where his gallantry in action at
the final assault on Fort Fisher is officially
mentioned. He was afterward transferred
to another vessel, and in consequence of
leaving it without proper papers he was
placed on record as a deserter. The sen
tence of desertion has been corrected and
an honorable discharge procured, with ar
rears of pay and now a pension. Burgetts
