average corn production of Wisconsin from

striving for in every State and on every
farm.
—The average daily ration fed 2 year-old
beifeis at Storr’s Experiment Station dur-
. ing the winter of 190% was as follows : Hay,
8 pounds ; silage, 10 pounds ; grain, 1}

of 300 pounds of bran, 100 pounds of coru-
meal and 100 pounds of linseed meal.
— Farmers Bulletin No. 49. of the United

that a mixture of two parts of cornmeal

lambs were fed about 8! pounds each per

~The effect of most rations was tested at
the West Virginia Experiment Station,
where one pen of fowls received a ration
largely of corn and otber ssaroby grains,
while another pen was fed partly on meat
and fresh bone. The meat-fed fowls laid
7555 eggs, while the grain-fed birds laid
8431, or less than one-half as many as
those receiving the ni ration.
The eggs from the meat-fed fowls were
larger, much firmer, rather better and
produced far more vigorous chickens than
those of the others.

once stopped to examine a

The day was warm, and on leaving

overheard one workman ask of aun-

“Why do ’e keep ’'is 'at off like that
out of doors, mate?”
“’Cause ‘e's a Quaker, o' course.” re-
plied the mate. “Quakers allas do in
churchyards.”
Here was an opportunity not to be
lost. “No,” said I, “I am not a Quak-
er. I am an Episcopalian.”
There was a short, awkward pause.
Then the first workman, evidently of
an inquiring turn of mind, said to his
fellow mason, who seemed to be con-
sidered an authority:
“A E-piscopale one, 'e says ‘e is.
Wot's that, Bill?”
“Oh,” replied the learned Bill, quite
equal to the occasion, “that's one of

The Emperor's Orderly.
Frenchmen of every rank and ciass
dearly love titles. The manager of a
Paris insurance company was decorat-
ed with the Legion of Honor a few
days ago, and the clerks in the em-
ploy of the company presented him
with a plece of plate to which their
visiting cards were attached. On look-
ing over these he was a good deal puz-
zled and amused by the visiting card
of the office “boy,” an old soldier
from the Invalides, who was employed
to open the office doors from 9 to 4.
Under the man’s name was the title
“the emperor's orderly.” He sent
for the old soldier, who stumped in
and saluted.
“Of what emperor are you the order-
ly, and how?" he asked. The old In-
valide drew himself up to attention.
“I am the orderly of the emperor.”
he said, “Napoleon, le Petit Corporal.”
“But he is dead. He has been dead
some time,” answered the puzzled
manager.
“I dust his tomb for him,” growled
the old soldier.—London Express.
No Morals in Dreamiand.
If, as many writers have suggested,
it is the soul itself that guides the im-
agery of dreams, how are we to ex-
plain the fact that in this chaos of
fdeas and feelings there is so little dis
tinction between right and wrong that
when dreaming we commit acts for
which we should weep tears of blocd
were they as real as they seem to be.
As Professor Hoffman has said, “The
familiar check of waking hours, ‘1
must not do it because it would be un-
just or unkind,’ never once seems to
arrest us in the satisfaction of any
whim which may blow about our way-
ward fancies.”
From all of which we must conclude
that the dream realm is a world that is
entirely oblivious to any moral sense
and that, though it may be true that a
troubled conscience may produce or
affect our dreams, the dreams them:
selves are never burdened with a con-
science.—Bohemian Magazine,
Going Some.
Being pursued by a farmer and his

and started down the road ahead of

the farmer and his boys were aston-
ished to hear the negro shout in a
voice that quavered with fright.

A Doleful Mood.
The propietor of a Paris cafe no-
ticed that after he had refus a to give
his pianist an increase of salary the
number of his customers dwindled
rapidly. It was only when all but
one diner had deserted him that he
discovered that the pianist had been
inflicting Chopin's “Funeral March"
on the audience nightly. The pianist,
who was proceeded against in the law
courts and was fined 50 francs, pleaded
that he played according to the mood
he felt in after his request had been
refused.

Patronage, political, religious and so-
cial, bas seen its best days in Eng-
land, and it is becoming more and
more difficult, St. James’ Budget
opines, to find material for such a
story as follows:
At the end of a political campaign
many years ago a young man who had
worked valiantly for the successful
candidate claimed a reward. The
prize promised was a sergeantcy in the
artillery. But the candidate found that
he was unable to carry out his prom-
ise, inasmuch as it required six years’
service to qualify a man for the rank.
He became thoughtful, but finally saw
light.
“Does it require six years to qualify
a man for a lieutenancy?’ he asked
one who knew.
“Certainly not,” was the reply.
“Well, make young Blank a lieuten-
ant, then,” said the candidate, with a
sigh of relief.
Blank was thus made a lieutenant
for no other reason than that he was
not fit to be a sergeant.
They Knew the Pole.
Some years ago when Dr. Nansen
visited Leeds on his return from the |
polar regions he was welcomed by a
large crowd of spectators, who cheer-
ed vociferously. Two of the most ar-
dent admirers of Nansen were a cou-
ple of old men, who kept shouting and
waving thelr sticks. When the cele-
brated explorer had passed, immedi
ately following in the wake of the
carriage came a wagon dragged by
three horses, bearing a long iron pole,
which belonged to the electric tram-
ways company.
Directly the old men saw it the fol-
lowing conversation took place:
“Well, I'll be blowed! Sitha, Bill,
he’s brout the pole back wi’ him!” said
one.
“Aye,” said the other admirer of
Nansen, “and we t' only two ’at's no-
ticed it. The're all running after t’ car-
riage. Sitha, the're that ignorant they
can't tell t' pole when they see it!”
A Bernard Shaw Joke.
After addressing an Edinburgh meet-
ing for ninety minutes once Mr. Ber-
nard Shaw remarked that the time was
a quarter to 10, and he had intended to
finish at 9 o'clock. He did not seem in
the least fatigued; the audience were
also quite fresh, and when the speaker
was about to sit down loud cries of
“Go on!" were raised on all sides.
“Do you really wish me to go on?"
Mr. Shaw asked. He was answered
by renewed cheering and more shouts
of “Go on!”
Great was the disappointment, there-
fore, when he replied, “That is the ex-
act point at which an experienced
speaker sits down,” which he accord-
ingly did.
An Artist's Mustache.
The mustache was not viewed with
favor in England in the middle of the
last century. An anecdote is told of
the late Thomas Cooper, the English
artist, to illustrate. He was brought
before a magistrate in 1846 on some
minor charge and was described in
the police report as being “fashion-
ably dressed, with large mustaches.”
The Art Journal of the date, comment-
ing on it, said that “no member of the
Royal academy perpetrates the atroc-
ity of mustaches, a most un-English
affectation.” Mr. Cooper became a
Juember of the academy a few years
ter.
Sunshine and Long Life.
Some towns on the Italian side of
the Swiss Alps are noted for the great
number of sunny days. Carabietta
and Pentilino, near Lugano, head the
list with 327 and 331 sunny days re-
spectively in one year. Possibly be-
cause of this liberal amount of sun-
shine the percentage of old people is
exceptionaily high in the canton of
Tessin, forty-four per thousand being
over seventy years old and ten per
thousand over eighty.—New York Post.
