pint of coal oil, four tablespoonfuls of
powdered sulphur, and rub on the affect-

be considered profitable mutton pro-
ducers. The American merino is one of
these breeds, but with all their many ex- |
cellencies one would no more think of
keeping merino sheep to produce mutton
at a profit than one would to keep Jersey
cattle to produce beef at a profit.
—Carrots and mangel-wurzels, or man- |
golds, are two neglected crops that are
valuaple and easily grown. Either of |
them produces heavily on good corn land
and makes excellent winter feed for all
kinds of live stock and poultry. Carrots
are especially good for cows and horses,
while a few mangolds for cows, sheep
and pigs promote health and growth.
For poultry they make a perfect substi-
stute for green feed or other kinds.
—When swollen legs occur in a horse |
that is thin and impoverished the general
health must be recuperated by feeding
liberally and administering some of the
vegetable and mineral tonics. !
The following may ue given morning

—If you intend to raise chickens for
meat, do not invest in the egg
Allow the poultry to have the run of
the barn, stables and other buildings dur-
ing the day, but have grains and other
feeds covered so they will not damage
them. Do not allow them to roost in

Stories of the Paris Courts. :
Among humorous stories of the Par
is law courts it is told how a well)
was once pleading a rather tiresome |
case and, noticing that the judges were
paying mo attention fo him. said, “As
the president is falling asleep 1 sus-
pend my speech.” But the judge had
just woke up and cried, “And 1 sus- |
pend you from practicing for six.
months.” Nothing daunted, the law-|
yer retorted, “Well, I suspend myself |
forever and ever,” and, gathering up
his brief and cap, he left the court |
and never appeared again.
A Paris barrister, M. Clery, however,
was more vigorous. Seeing that the
president and the assessors were all
asleep, he stopped. and, dealing a tre- |
mendous blow on the desk in front of
him that woke everybody up with a
start, he cried, “Yesterday at this same
hour 1 was saying” — And the whole]
bench rubbed their eyes and caked each
other if they had really slept through
twenty-four hours. :
The same counsel was pleading at |
rersailles on a cold day and remarked
that the judges were ail turning more
and more around toward a stove that
gave out a welcome heat. “The tribu-
nal behind which 1 have the honor of |
speaking” brought them all right about |
face at ounce. :

He Had a Claim, |
In a certain town was a young law-!
yer whose father was very rich and

school. Since his graduation he had
| done nothing except open an office be- |

This
bership in the local fire company. :
“We cannot elect him,” one of the
members protested. “The constitution
of our company says that the mem-|
bers of it must sleep and live here in!
the city, and he lives out of town on
a farm and not in the city at all. He
would be of no value at all in case of
a fire at night. Iie doesn’t sleep here
at night.”
“No,” replied his proposer; “it is true
he doesn't sleep here at night, but he
sleeps here in his office all day.”
And they elected him on that ground.

The Simple Maid.
"Pawas in a simple country town, and
the maid of all work was simple and
innocent Iu sympathy. When she re-
turned from shopping half a sovereign
short in her change Mrs. Mango-
| Chutney was naturally incensed.
“Go back to each shop, you careless
girl,” she told the weeping maid, “and
tell them you are half a sovereign
| ghort in your money and they must
give it you.”
Susan went and was back again in
Entering her mistress’
sanctum, she laid five half sovereigns
on the table before her. Faithful as
always, she had carried out Mrs.
Mango-Chutney’s instructions to the
letter, and each shopkeeper, fearful of
doing wrong and hurting a fellow crea-
ture, had thrust the missing coin upon
the bewildered girl.--London Answers.
The Offending Black Bottle.
A church member in a lonely district
of Saskatchewan nabsented himself
' from services for some months. On
being approached on the subject he
said he was sorry, but it was impossi-
ble to attend any more. He was
pressed to give reasons and at length
' said it was owing to the bad conduct
of the superintending clergyman and
catechist.
He and others had witnessed them
drinking when driving round on their
visits. They had passed a black bot-
tle from hand to hand. It was impos-
. sible to attend the ministry of such
men. Inquiries proved that the of-
fending “bottle” was a pair of field-
glasses with which the drivers sur-
veyed the surrounding country and
tried to locate the various churches, |
shacks and trails.—Sunday at Flome. |
Not Always.
“Whenever ‘1 hear the suffrage com:

“This poor creature had been beaten |

for ten days running.
“oy good friend,’ I said to her,
‘does your husband always drink like
that?”
“ “No, my lord,’ she answered. ‘Some-
times I gets hout v* work.""”
A Witty Retort.
An Englishman in Dublin was asked
by an Irish cab driver if he wished to
ride through the city.
“No.” replied the Englishman: “I am
able to walk.”
“Ah, well,” remarked the jehu, “may
willing!”
Forgot the Proverb.
“You may not get any more business
from me. I've bought a law book."
“I won't worry,” responded the law-
“In that case 1 shall probably
get more business than ever.”—Wash-
ington Herald.

The Seven Stars is an inn or pub-

which has held a license continuously
since 1370. It served as the meeting
place for the Guy Fawkes band of
conspirators.

He finds “sermons in stones” express-
es the same idea as Wordsworth's
“the restless stone chat all day long is
heard.” Calvin was a noted scientist
and peer, who died lately. Naples is

in mentioning Galen, who did not live
until a hundred years after his time.

saved his life by dying on the way
from York to London. When the Eng-
lish first landed in Australia the only
four footed animal in the country was
a rat. Monsoons are fertile gorges be-
tween the Himalayas.
When Bjornson Died.
Bjornson’s son, in describing the last
hours of his father, writes: “Now and
then the bright flame of his humor
flickered up. The doctor felt his pulse
and said it was good. With his face
beaming with humor he turned toward
us and said. 'I am the first man to die
with a good pulse.’ He said one even-
ing—and it seemed as if an old wise
man was speaking with the weight of
experience, ‘Now 1 could write—yes,
now 1 couid write, for 1 have been in
the realms of death and have felt the
pain that attends death.’ And when
all of us thought that the indifference
of death was upon him—my mother,
who always gave him his food, which
he would receive only from her, stood
at the bedside with a brooch on her
breast which she had worn at her con-
firmation—then he opened his eyes and
looked at her. He smiled, lifted his
hand and touched the brooch. This
was the last sign to the outer world he
was able to give.”
A Cold Ride.
All through his life Senator Dolliver |
of Iowa had a horror of fast trains
and possible railroad wrecks. Once he |
was on a train with Vice President |
Fairbanks.
Dolliver awoke in the middle of the
night, and it seemed to him that the
train was going at terrific speed. He |
climbed out of his berth and, arrayed |
only in his pajamas, started down the |
length of the train to find the con-
ductor and ask him to order the train
| run at less speed. It was a cold night,
but the senator did not mind that until
the door of his car snapped shut and |
locked behind him and he found that |
the door of the next conch was also |
locked. He rode sixty-five miles locked i
out in the cold of the vestibule before
he could wake up anybody to let him
in. Mr. Fairbanks finally heard his
cries for help and rescued him.—New
York Tribune. \
Necks and Legs of Animals.
With few exceptions there is a mark.
ed equality between the length of the |
necks and of the legs of both birds and |
quadrupeds, and whether they be long |
or short is determined chiefly by the |
place where the animal must go for |
its food. This is especially noticeable '
in beasts that feed constantly upon |
grass, in which case the neck has just |
a slight advantage in that it cannot i
hang perpendicularly down. Croco- |
diles, lizards and fish have practically |
no necks. Fowls that feed in the!
water also offer an example of this |
correspondence between the members, {
with the exception of swans and geese |
and some Indian birds, which gather |
their food from the bottom of pools |
and must have long necks for that pur- |
| pose, while the short legs make it |
| more convenient for them to swim.— |
Dietetic and Hygienic Gazette.
A Story Pepys Telis. !
Pepys tells in his diary that in the
| reign of King Charles IL. a customer
bargaining with a London merchant |
for claret hired a confederate to “thun- |
der (which he had the art of doing |
upon a deal board) and to rain and |
hail—that is, make the noise of—so as |
to give them a pretense of undervalu-
ing their merchant's wines, by saying |
this thunder would spoil and turn |
them, which was so reasonable to the
merchant that he did abate two pis-
tolls per tun for the wize in belief of
that.”
A Mighty Difference.
Brougham used to tell an anecdote
about the flight from Waterloo. Na-
poleon was greatly depressed. His ald
riding beside him thought he might be
sorrowing over the loss of so many old
comrades at arms and tried to comfort
him by saying that Wellington also
must have lost many friends. “He has
not lost the battle,” was the reply.
