Carrots are delicacies to horses and cattle. When animals are sicK and re fuse food they may somet'iiics In" tempted to eat carrots, which shows tl-.-it they stand at the head of all rool -ros as food for the st.x-k. 'I'll.- freezing point of Htatii-s is .'!l(.-' degree., and they must not be kept in tin- light. Keep them at : tern iora t tire between -I and l' d.-Lrre-s (tin lower the temperature the lielter), so as to prevent, sprouting. W!u ti larire iiuuiImts of stock are fed toirether tin- stronger will eont in ually ci'ovvd away the weaker ones, who fad to procure enough food to lie in good, thrifty condition. Such an Unequal di vision causes an increase in tin cost. It b; ln-tter to divide up into reasonably small lots, according to size, age and condition. A veteran broncho breaker gives the follow 'ng as a sure way to cure a horse of kicking: "Tie one of his. forelegs with a roo to his hi ad leg on t he ot her side. As soon as he starts to kick he jerks his front leg otT the ground an I h" goes down' in a heap. Two or lhrc ihscs of that kind will cure the worst oao yon can find." Th larger the animal thei more it costs to maintain it, as a rule, hence -it will cost much more in proportion to weight to produce a hog weighing e(M pounds than one weighing lot) pounds. Consequently there is a larger protit jmt pound from the small hog than from the- large one. and the farmer can keep more small hogs than he- can of large ones. THE SENTIMENT OF WORDS.

Who Flitted on the stage. "Theatrical reputation is the most evanescent of all glories of life," sadly t-K-erved the old actor, drawinir his last siiuinier's overcoat around hiui a little ti-rbter, according to the New York Herald. "That's so," resjionded the apent, ' ami nothing- reminds one of this more than an acquaintance with the bill rooms of the. old theaters alout the country. You know they have a way of posting up bills ami lithographs in the bill-rooms that part of t he t heater in which the bills are laid out, anJI w hich is t he lounjrinp place of t he trav iling agents, the billimsteifi, advertis ing men, etc., and preserving a sort of record of the celebrated actors, com panies and scenes that liave lioeu at that part ieular house. Sometimes t his is done systematically, with an idea for general pictorial effect, and then looks very pretty. liut more often it is the freak of some billMster, who slajis up a full length figure, or a lithograph head, or somct hing grot es pie, t he w hole collection forming a curious and some times night niarisb jumble. "In the older bill-rooms will lie seen pictures of bygone favorite.s of the American stage of many persons w ho were famous the other day and who to day are quite forgotten. 1 hey are usually represented in their favorite costume and KirL Some of these were the rage but a few years ago drew big salaries and hail everything their own way. There are women who actually quecned it over the whole country made thousands and drank champagne and wore a princess diamonds. Why, their very names are forgotten! I ain not an old-timer, though I'm familiar with the slag-e, and I tell you I've been actually startled suddenly to com across these pictures on the bill-room walls, and to be thus reminded what they had been, and to liesettothinking w hat had lieoome of them!" SAVED FROM DROWNING. The Heroism of a Miller In Reocaing a. Little ilrL The brave work of a miller in saving a little girl from drowning is described by the I ndianapolis Journal. Themill ow ner and his wife, itap-iears, had gone to the city, leaving- au eight-year-ol.l girl at home. Wit h ot her children she went down to the mill to play, and by some accident fell into the sluice which feeds the turbine wheel. The head miller heard a scrt-nm. and not knowing- what had hapiK-ned. ap plied a brake and stopM-d the machin ery. Then he ran out, found tbe little girl just disappearing under the water, and in he went after her. Then he found himself in a hard place. The water was eight feet deep, and he was four feet lielow the top ol the sluice, the sides of which were a:; smooth as a iolished floor. The girl was unconscious. How was he to get her out ? It took one hand to ho'd her head almve water, and the other to keep him self fnmi sinking-. He must try to throw her out, and this, by a great effort, he did. liut the reliound drove him under water and against t he w heel, where he was in great dnnger of being- caught and held. lie eame up gain, however, and now a new difti culty confronted him. How was he to get- out himself? He sank to the bot tom, gave an upward spring, and a he came up half-blinded, succeeded ii catching- the top of the sluice. Then, by the greatest exertions he drew him self out. The girl was still unconscious, but bv vigorous miiisures was at last revived. PERSONNEL OF THE NAVY. Desertions from I Dele Sam.

In civil life, the good old days were at a time not lieaier than 5U years a. pa-s I ; but in the service, a sun that rose, ite.li years ago shone on a good old day. There are railroads now. and big garrisoiis near towns, and there are no Indians (as good old soldiers, un derstood Indians), and gambling is hi disoriiLt, and colonels whose orders are obscured by liquor f nines have de iieiivsed 'JS icr cent., and there are liouse.s with every improvement in stead of wall-tents and adolpe huts. :n id the; men, have as many rig-hts as women in Wyoming, and the otlicers have fresh oysters and don't pay a dol lar a UitUe for 1-oer. and their wives have more interest ing- subjects; to cimi ideT tlian each other's most Kiu-reilly private business wherefore there is no longer war in time of peace. Never tlteletss, lO, 15, 20 yttrs ag" when all these things were not was the g'Kxl old time In-fore the service had licgun to go to tli.- part ieular Imw-wows. This that I am gviiiifc' to tell hapjiened in the good old days. It could not very v.ell hap-n now. because, an I say, things have changed. At t he t ime let ty Mandev "die's father was in command at AfKiche and Itetty waseng-aged to lie married to an iinusitilly tine fei..vv. whose name is not. part of the story. He was a second lieutenant and he was in love, w itb all the beautiful disregard of the facts of life that is charac.terist k of the eniwnored state. Of course the riost knew of tlie en-g-urement liefore either "of the two most interested mrt!es did. This was ln'cause this hapjielied in the g xxl old lavs. For the same reason thoug-h it call occur sometimes evu now opin ions on the match flew thick and fast and obscunvl t.la- sky of charity. They said that the scond lieutenant was making- a, fool of hims-lf, wh'i-h wa-i the only unkind remark he fell heir to. Hut Itetty fared worse. She came of a bad strain. There were things in the histories of lioth her parents that every one. knew and no one was supposed to know. Her father was Knglish and had lieen a jockey. He was the son of a coni-ert-hall singer and a man whose only nobility wan his birth. Miss Mandeville, who was tnore Mcxu-Jin than-Spanish lnre a good Castilian name which covered a multi tude of sins. There were any numlr of Mande ville children yoiincvr than Hetty, and all unmistakably favoring their swsirthy mother. They were so dirty that they were a disgrace to the piM. .at Hetty vviii tidy as to dress nnd a as blonde; Huffily, cnrlily blonde. vith a fine skin and innocent blue eyes and a rosebud mouth. It was said she looked like an Knglish professional licauty ; but t here w as no one to f-eog-i:ize the startling likeness to the itii:-ct-rt-hall grandmother. She had a taste for laces, and hosiery, and 1-. gh-hcclci! sbpH-rs, that may have 1h--ii either a Spanish or theatrical inheritance. And she was Wautiful beyond a question. with a beauty that was only skin del p. After she had promised to marry the si-cond lieutenant. Itetty went kw n to Lov.eil to visit her aunt, who was her i.iother's sister and was the- wife ot Capt. IM-ke. Hetty knew that she would enjoy herself more if the engage ment were kept a secret. She could keep it quiet, liecause it was in the good old days and news traveled slowly ami distances were great. On the second day of her stay hei aunt book her to stay over night with Scnor Franquelo in Tucson. Whi h was the lieginning. The Franquelo family was large, and most of it dwelt in the one house- an .-u'o'oe with the external whitewash broken off in oddly-shaped pieces, and built as all aikdies were built in the o-immI old days one story around a courtyard. There was nothing- in the courtyard but chickens and ollas broken and otherwise for the soil of Tin-son is not fertile. Outside, where the narrow doorway faced UKn the street, hardly Icsk white under the binning suit than the whitened walls that lined it, a mocking-bird cajre of willow hung-against the liouse. with a nil chile stuck between its liars. It was the first time Hetty had l-eu uuder the ancestral roof. Hesidcs her prandmot her, who was more unpicasai.t than the a u nis. there were many cousins, male and female. Of these, two second cousins were in love. Tliey were Carlos and I ties. In less than ten minutes Carlos hail de serted blavk-browed lues and was lan guishiugal Hetty w ith his two. soft eyes, lues was oicnly wretched. Carlos ojicli ly infatuated. Hetty oieiily tiirlintf. Hut Carlos did not know that. Hetty and her aunt went back to l,o well the next day, and the same evening- Carlos rode over to the iott to see her. There were six officers calling- on Miss Mandeville, so Carlos sat aiart and sulked; but he outstayed them all. When they had gone, after a super of canned oyster stew and tainalcs. he drew his chair close beside the sofa up on which Itetty was half reclining-. "Wy do you like doz.e ooffeecers bet ter dan rue?" he asked her. "I don't," said Hetty; "they're a lKre." "Do you noot. truly?" "Of course I don't ; hojv could I?" Carlos was not accustomed to Hetty's like, and. as even t hose w ho should have known lietter. hud Iielieved her, lecause of her round, blue eyes, he was not to lie blamed for hi faith. "Would you rader talk to me?" "A great deal rather." "Hut dey haf stayed so late dat I must soon go. "It's not late. It's only half-jKi-st twelve. It would le too bad of you to go just when we liegin to get a chance to settle down to a nie, cozy talk." Carlos persisti-d coyly. "Hut you weel weesh to sleep." "Very well." Miss Mandeville shrugged her shoulders "then you had better go. lues may get angTy if you stay, and you like her more than you do me." Carlos denied thus in words that were neither kind nor just to lnes; but Het ty damned her with faint, praise. She was not a clever conversational ist, nor was Carlos Franquelo. but they kept each other interested until very- late, and when Carlos went home Hetty stcpN'd out to the front porch with him and put her hand in hi, with the least bit of a pressure. "Can I kees your' Carlos asked, liald- iy- "I supiose jo lieeause w e're cous:ns. yon know," Hetty assured him. as she raised her innocent face to his hand some Mexican one. He whi.qered: "I lofe you, oh! I lofe you. You are beeutiful. tieetilj ful." and Hetty laughed a little, and told him he was silly, when they had only known each otlser for two hiys. Now, with Hetty's lieauty and other attractiveness, it was natural that she should have a great deal of attention from the bachelors, but Carlos devotion was so marked that they drew ytT one by one, leaving the field pretty much to him. They resented Hetty's erm;t ting the young Mexican to follow her about incessantly, even though he were a second cousin. As for the g-irl. un til it was too latei she did not s.-o t fu ll arm she was diking. Then all the offi cers had deserted her and there was only Carlot. Well. Carlos was hand some and good enough game, so she led him on. It was not her fault, surely, that she didn't know the ways of Mexican lovers. She hail toJd plenty of other men that she loved then-, and nothing had happened. Hut one night, she told this to Carlos M his urgent request, and the next day. at alout. "stables," as she was sw inging lazily in the hammock on the porch, she saw three bugyie, containing t wo men each, iimiing up the line. In the first sat Carlos and his brother, in the others, remoter male relativeav. Hetty guoss-d the truth at once, and her pink checks turned white. She ran into the house, and screamed loudly for her uncle. "Oh! 1'iiele Nat," she lieg-ged, when she found him in liis room, "Carlos, ami Jose. an. I all his nasty old relatives are coming here. Send them away, won't you? I'lease do." She clung to his arm. "Why shall I send them away? Are thev going to murder the iior little girl'?" "No, no. no. Hut I think they're go ing to ask you to let me marry them!" "All of them?" Hetty lost her temper ami flew into a white rage. "Stop your fHl joking. anil do what. I say! You tell them I'm sick, and tell that Carlos that 1 hate him." She ran and hid just as the lell clanged. Carlos found th captain, anil niale his demand in due form. The young lady's father not lieing- there, he felt that her uncle could take the plai-c of a jxiront. He wis-Iied to ask the band of his Ix-autiful niece, know ing thai she herself was willing to liestow it. "How do you know that?" the caje tain asked. "She tell me so." " hen? "Ias" night. She tell me dat she lofed me, so to-day I come for to ask lies' from you." "Are you sure she said sle loved you. Franquelo?" "Oh! yiss, sairt inly. She kees me. also." The captain left the room and went toti ml his niece. "Llizaleth.that fellow savs that you told him you loved him. M vou?" "The vhl fool!' "Hid you?" "Supposing T did? lie made me. He's an. idiot to think I mean every little thine I say." "Did you kiss him?" "No." The captain's face cleared then he liethoueht him of the wavs of women. "Did you let him kiss you?" "Perhaps. I don't know." He caught her hand. "Come in here to Franquelo and explain yourself. ou'd lietter say you'll marry him after that proceeding-." Hetty was frightened. Her defiance changed to pleniriuc. "I'leose don't make rue see Jjim, Cnele Nat, dear. Please." "Come on." "Hut, Tncle Xat. I can't say I'll marry him. I was only fooling. I'm engaced to another man." Capt. lo ke dropped her hand and ret limed to t he sit ting--room. "Franquelo." he said; coldly. f.-r he disliked his nephew sincerely. "I regret that, this unpleasant thing should bav e hapeiied to you under my roof. Mv niece tells me that she was not in i-arnest, and she is soon to marry an other man. However. sl will not stay another day with me to trouble you or anyone else. 1 shall send her home to night." Carlos' face, as he silently left the room, was an ugly sight. Hetty was sitting-sulkily in tbe waitings-room at the Tucson station almiit 7:1U o'clock the same nig-ht. Her uncle was seeing- to the checking-of her trunk outside. When he came hack, a man whom he recognized even in the late twilight as Carlos Franquelo ran jiast him. toward a horse that stood in the street a few yards away: and. going hurriedly to where he had left his niece, he fould her lying full lenglh on the floor and dead. Her yellow curls were wet and dark with blood, and her face was quite disfigured In-eause the pistol had lieen held close to it.
