THE SQUIRRELS IN THE OAK. flow They Kept Beoaa aad Got Their Pro-tas, My favorite boarders in the oak were the pray squirrels. The bora knew their hole from tbe woodpeckers' at a glauoe. for it was in tbe living mink of the tree, and the red brown margin always showed where their powerful teeth had been cutting away the bark that threat ened to grow in and clone them up. I have oftened wondered bow the wood peckers knew that it would imprison them, and that they must put up with the dead limb. As for tbe grays, tbey were not afraid to live in tbe heart of tbe oak, and what Ftores of nuts, harvested in the hickories on the bill, they did manage to "tote" cp there. There must have been a peck at least when I ruthlessly chopped into the hcllow with a sharp hatchet and captured a fine brood of young ones that were soon tamed into graceful and af fectionate pets. Tbe old father and mother we did not want, even if we could have caught them, because tbey are fierce and un tamable in captivity. Tbe abduction of tbeir pretty chil dren did Dot seem to weigh mnch on their minds. They gave no sign of the poignant grief, not to be comforted, that I bave seen, for instance, in blue birds whose nest had been despoiled, but refitted their deu as snugly as be fore and raised another family. When my squirrels went harvesting, one cf them first held bis bead in the mouth of the hole for half a minute to see if the coast was clear. Presently out he whisked and stopped again to make sure, while his mate followed. Then Mr. Squirrel gave a rasping, lone drawn bark of defiance, which must bave filled his lady's heart with admiration for his boldness and with apprehension lest pome unwary creature should oome within reach of her lord's auger. Then if yon didn't betray yourself and send both scampering in wildest fright back to the hole after playing hide and 6cek for a few moments they ran iu single, file out to the topmost twigs cf a great bough, gained a branch of the neighboring bare walnut and, crossing to its frtbt r side, made a des perate flying leap into tbe top of a young hickory. Running half way down this they used a succession of dogwoods and oak saplings until they bad reached tbe grove of tall, straight hickories on the hill, an eighth of a mile from tbeir bole in tbe oak. Come on them sudden ly now if yon would care to see fast time made over this queer course and some record breaking leaps that fairly take away one's breath. Scribner's Magazine. Betrayed by si (lower. To the monastery of the Grand Char treuse women, as a rule, are inexorably refused admittance, only a very few having bad the privilege of seeing tbe Carthusians (monks of the order) at home. A story is told of a French daughter of Eve, blessed with even a frreater share of curiosity than that pos eted by the generality of ber eex, who, having beard from her hnsband ud brother cf their late Interesting visit to the monastery, tried by every means in her power to effect an entrance there, but all to no avaiL Determined, however, ty hook or crook, to succeed, she at last hit upon the happy idea cf jm-senting herself there dressed as a man, managiug to persuade her husband to allow her to do so, and to take her with him on his next visit Ob arriving at the gates cf tbe mon astery she entered unchallenged with the remainder cf the party, but while in tbe garden the conducting mouk, leaving her side, gathered an exquisite lose, which he brought and presented to her with a eonrtly bow, proving that be at least was not deceived by her dis guise.

Wrong Coaclaslae. The Canadian Gazette ti lls an amus ing story of one who was too quick at drawing an inference. It happened that a Glasgow professor who was visiting Canada with the British association In IbHi was desirous of seeing something of northwestern life, and for this pur pose repaired to an Alberta rauch. I fixed him up as well as I could, the rancher says, but be complained that tie did not like sleeping w ith bis clothes on. So after the first night I stretched a cowskin across the shack and told him he might undress if he liked. lie took off most of Lis garments and put nn a long white nightdress. In the morning my foreman came in while the jgeutlemau wj still fleering. Observ ing the white uigbtdress, he eaid in a whimper: "Rather sudden, f bV "What?" I asked. "The death of tbe old man."

Wor thing ton's Magazine. of Miaeri. As to whether there are auy diseases peculiar to the miners' calling there is evidence that, with one, or perhaps two. exceptions, tbew are none such. These exceptions are an affection of tbe eye. termed "nvstagmus," and, in a lesser degree, that disease of the respiratory organs which usually goes by the name of miners' asthma. Kystagmus. al though not a prevalent affection, is one with well marked symptoms directly traceable to tbe posture of the collier While at work. Tbo svmptoms are oscillation with more or hs of a rolling motion of tbe eyeLalls, giddiness, with headache, and th appearance of objects moving in a rirelc, or lights dancing before the eyes. In severe cases the person affected may stumble and be so much incon venienced as to be obliged stop work. Dr. Simeon Sncll of Sheffield has given this disease special attention for about 20 years and has published the results of his investigations, which snow be yond all reasonable doubt that nystag mus is confined almost entirely to those underground workmen who are eugaged in holing or undercutting the coal, and is due to the miners' habit of looking upward above the horizontal line of vision, and metre or less obliquely while at work lving on his side. It has been observed also in firemen and others who have occasion frequently to examine the roof, turning the eyes obliquely while doing 6a Any other occupation in which the person may habitually turn the eyes upward and sideways will induce nystagmus. Coal Trade Jour nal. Artists Failures. "Do not, let me beg cf you, be afraid of so called failures, " said a well known artist addressing his class. "They are culy stepping stones to success, the premiums we all must pay for experi ence. I may say, without vanity, that I have been fairly successful in my pro fession, and yet to one canvas that suc ceeded there have been as many as 40 which I have scraped down with my palette knife in disgust. Even if a stu dent never succeeds, his very failures may be noble. It is not only to art that this exhorta tion might apply. In every career, in every w alk in life, the same point cf view should be taken. Failures are not failures really they are lessons; they are steppiug stones. They should not be associated for a moment with despond ency or hopelessness. Just as a child tumbles and pii ks himself up as a mat ter cf course and runs gayly on, so should we children of a larger growth regard the ops and downs of life, never losing courage, however often we tum ble. Young people especially should be taught that it is not always success to suoceed and that disappointments should be taken philosophically. The idea of a booby prize in games is a good one. There are many prizes iu life for those who apparently fail, and even in worldly matters the last shall be first and the first shall be last iu nine cases out of ten. New Ycrk Tribune. First Person Photographed. It was in 1642 that John Draper, then a professor in tbe University of New York, made the first portrait photo graph. The subject was Elizabeth Dra per, his sister. Professor Draper had tbe idea that in order to produce distinct facial outlines in photography it would be necessary to cover the countenance of the person photographed with flour. This seems a strange notion now, and it proved not to be a good one then, for all of Professor Draper's early attempts were failures. Finally he left off tbe flour and then was quite succcrsfuL This so delighted him that be sent the picture to Sir William Ilerschel, the em inent English astronomer. Sir William was in turn delighted and made known Professor Draper's success to the scien tific men of Europe. lie also sent Pro fessor Draper a letter of acknowledg ment and congratulation, which baa been carefully preserved in the archives of tbe Draper family. Crael, but Xeeeesary. The Eskimos dread the winter and take early precautions to provide against famine. As the season approaches tbe great herds cf reindeer migrate south ward, and tbe walrus or the seal are all that remain for food. When an in wind is blowing, the wal rus is easily found on the outer edge of tbe ice packs. When it is blowing off the shore, however, the ice packs sail out to sea with tbe walruses on them. Tbe natives then class their numbers in a list from the strongest to the weakest. 1'he food that is in store is divided up, the weakest having the smallest quan tity, the strongest the largest Thus the mightiest hunters have strength to pro vide for tbe others.

After a few days I was accept ed on the condition of an annual visit to France. "From a worldly point cf view this engagement was what is called in French une folie, on my part, and hard ly less so on tbe part of tbe young lady. We had, however, a kind of inward a enrance that in spite of the difference of nationality and other differences we were, in truth, nearer to each other than most people who contract matrimonial engagements. The electric affinities act in spite of all appearances and of many realities." rood Peculiarities. Dr. Sophie Lepper, the English food specialist, says in speaking of the pecul iarities of Various foods that blanched almonds give the higher nerve or brain and muscle food, no heat or waste. Walnuts give nerve or brain food; mus cle, beat and waste. Pine kernels give heat and stay. They serve as a substi tute for bread. Green water grapes are blood purifying, but of little food value. Blue grapes are feeding and blood puri fying, too rich for those who suffer from the liver; tomato's, higher nerve or brain food and waste ; no heat They are thinning and stimulating. Juicy fruits give more or less the higher nerve or brain, and some few, muscle food and wste; no heat Apples supply the higher nerve and muse le food, but do Dot give stay. Prunes afford the highest nerve or brain food, supply beat and waste, bnt are not muscle feeding. Wages of European Polleemea.

The feeding of cattle for Ut f U m celvlng more attention since feedstuff fell in price, and in order to add to the knowledge on the subject tbe expert ment flat ions have been busy in test ing all systems of fieding th.it could be used for making discoveries. The Ontario Station comes forward and asserts that culves feel ou skim milk and linseed meal will equal iu weight at one year old those fe-d on whole milk. This fact should encourage farmers to retain every calf, esjeclally aa it is known that steers matured and marketed at two years old give tV) -r cent, more profit than 3-year-old stee rs. Of course, the experiments were made with cattle of the beef breeds, as steers of no breeding will not prove profit bleatany age, and aa skim milk is considered almost valueless on farms the cost of raising the calves in sonfc localities is hut very little. The raising of the calves from pure-bred r gd grade stock Is a matter to be considered. aa the most dillicult obstacle in the way of progress of beef production is the fae-t tUat hut few farmers' raise their calves, but go out and buy steers to be fatted. As a calf can be kept on a low price ration, and with the aid of the (tasture carried to the age of two ye-ars at a small cost, there should be a large profit derived from them when sold so early in their lives. KKKO AXI (IAIN'S. It was determined by the feeding exiwrimenU that a steer weighing 1UK) pounds requires H pounds of food to make one pound of gain, and that a 2-year-old steer will eat its own weight of feed every two weeks and gain 1 pounds ikt day. The food includes both that which is bulky aud concen trated. Stall-fed steels, will shrink 40 pounds each if fasted 12 hours iu the stalls, the weight of each steer being estimated at 1200 pounds. Heifers con fined in box sUl Is constantly fiom birth did not breed at as early an age aa those having freedom. Cutting the nay and pulping the roots fed to fat tening steers produced 11 pounds more gain er day than wheu the same quantity of hay was fed alone. Cattle made an average of 5 tons of solid and liquid manure the first year, sj tns the second year, and 9 tons the third year. The value of this manure de pend upon the kind of food iciven, but may be placed aa high as $ 100 for the three years, estimating the nitro gen, Mlash and phosphoric acid at the prh-es usually paid for sut-li articles in the form of commercial fertilizers. It rarely liaptcns, however, that the farmer derives the full value of the manure owing to waste from several sources. The increase in weight of stoers varies, and they may le forced or retarded in growth according to the food and shelter. The estimates given are the results of experimenting with several lota in order to arrive at a knowledge of the facts. FKKlilN'O TIIK FA KM fttylW. The hauling of green corn, rape and silage to cattle when the pastures were short returned a fair profit, aud mixed gra-wes were preferred by cattle to tim othy aud clover. There is less cost iu fattening cattle than iu raising them, but also le-sa fertility to the soil. Corn ensilage aud meal was not deemed as safe aa when a pound of cut straw waa mixed with three pounds of ensilage.
