When I was down on Cape Cod, I beard an amuoiug story about an old sea captain and his cow. Captain Pat terson, ofier sailiug the sea for more than 40 years, finally retired to a little farm near Barnstaple, where be .wttled iown, with a horse, cow and two or three dozen hens. His cow, though a lank and rather stubborn creature, was ni- to ccme frni very good st-k, and when the Barnstaple people tonk it into their heads to have a fair Captain Pat terson determined to exhibit his cow. But when the day came for driving ber to the grounds the cow showed that she had a mind of her own aud would not bailee a step bevoud the farmyard gate. In vain the old captaiu tugged at the rope, pummeied her sides and push ed her flanks. The cow wanted to go to pasture and was bound she wouldn't go to tbe fair. Captain Patterson's paticnoo was very nearly gone, when suddenly an idea occurred to him. Though ho was not strong enough himself to force the cow to go to the fair his training sug gested something that was. Tying the cow to the gatepost, he went up into the loft of his barn and threw down an old sail stepped to a dory mast Then be put a bcrsc s blanket belt through an iron ring, strapped tbe belt around the cow, inserted tbe end of the niast in the ring and bound the mast to the side of the cow with some 60 feet cf rope. Tbe wind blew 'quartering," aiid when the captain untied the cow aud raised the sail tbe canvas swelled out over the cow's back, and away she went "sidling" down tho road, mooing and plunging and trying to stop herself in tsiu. Captain Patterson seized her tail, and using it as a rudder guided her skillfully in the right direction. With every fresh puff of wind the obstinate cow would be hurried along faster, while tbe dust blew np in clouds aud the sail flapped and tugged as Captain Patterson held to the mainsheet with one hand and tbe cow's tail with the other. It was a hard voyage for both of them, but not a long one, and when they came in sight of the fair ground everybody ran out to 6oetbe remarkable sight of a cow being sailed through the streets like a ship. Cheers and laughter filled tbe air, and when the captain finally whirled bis cow around at the gate cf the fair ground and brought her neatly "up into the wind" tbe shout that arose might have been heard two miles away. Unfortunately Captain Patterson's cow did not take one of the prizes for blooded stock, but tbe captain himself was given a Fpecial prize by the fair commissioners for "the best advice for getting balky cattle to market" Out look. Tionest bat Cnte Yankee. There is a funny case of international honesty down in Arizona, just on the line between that territory and Mexico. A Yankee farmer lives there, one Ama ss Burrow ly name, and it is bis busi ness to raise chickens. Chicken feed is cheap in Mexico and chickens bring fine prices in Arizona, but to raise fowls in Mexico and bring them across the bound ary or to buy the feed and bring it across, would involve the payment of a rciiUerable duty, which would eat the profits about as fast as tbe hens could eat tbe corn. As for smuggling, that was not to be thought of. Amass is a Yankee, and he is so hon est that bis neighbors say be wouldn't take advantage cf a man in a horse trade. But be is also full of Yankee in genuity, and after deep cogitation he built a long, slim hencoop, one-half of it in Arizona and tbe other in Mexico. On tbe line there is a gate. Over tbe line there are barns containing feed. At feeding time tbe gate is opened, and the chicken fancier shoos bis flock into Mexico, where they eat their rueaL Then he shoos them back to the protec tion of the American flag, where they digest this Mexican grain, lay their eggs and carry ou their family affairs. Mr. Barrow saves about 50 per cent on his grain and makes about that much on his chickens, aud if there is any smnggling done it is dune by the inno cent and irresponsible biddies. Wash ington Times.

Primarily, for the convenience of the railroads, a standard of time was estab lished by mutual agreement in 1883, by which trains are run aud local time reg ulated. According to tbis system, the United States, extending from 65 to 125 iegrees west jugitude, is divided into four time sections, each of 15 degrees of longitude, exactly equivalent to one hcur The first (eastern) section in cludes all territory bctwecu the Atlantic coast aud an irregular line drawn from Detroit to Charleston, tbe latter be ing its most soutlern point The aco- ond (central) section includes all the territory between the last named line and an irregular lino frai-i Bismarck to the mouth of the HioUrttuda. The third (mountain) section includes all territory ' between the last named line and nearly the western borders of Idaho, Utah aud Arizona. Tbe fourth (Pacific) section covers the rest of the country to the Pacific coast Standard time is uniform inside each of thtue sec tions, and the time of each section dif fers from that next to it by exactly one hour. Thus at 12 noon in New York city (eastern time) the time at Chicago (central time) is II a. nr.; at Denver (mountain time), 10 a. m., and at San Francisco (Pacific timet 9 o'clock a. m. Standard time is 16 minutes slower at Boston than true local time, 4 min utes slower at New York, 8 minutes faster at Washington, 19 minutes faster at Charleston, 28 minutes slower at De troit, 18 minutes faster at Kansas City, 10 minutes slower at Chicago, 1 minute faster at St Louis, 28 minutes faster at Salt Lake City and 10 minutes faster at San Francisco.

He needed tbe suit badly, but bit tailor was de cidedly disinclined to part with it till it was paid for. After lying awake all night revolving in his mind various schemes old and new to get possession cf tbe coveted attire Jones evolved a brilliant idea. He put on a high collar two sizes too large for him, went to his tailcr and tried on tbe coat again. Of course it did not fit around the collar and would have to be let out The next day he put on a collar a half size too small and tried it on again. The collar of the coat bulged out in tbe back as if it had been constructed fur the neck of a pugilist I can't wear that thing," declared Jones. "It does not fit at alL" "No, it does bet seem to," admitted tbe tailor. "You've tinkered with it now till yon have nearly ruined it I guess I don't want it" "Well. I'll tell yon what I'll do," proposed the tailor, who did not want a misfit left on his hands. "I'll knock off f 5 on the price. " "Don't want a suit that don't fit," declared Jones. "Well, I'll make itflO." "Make it $13.60 and I'll take it" "All right, but I lose money ou it at that" Jones paid another, tailor 1 1 to have the collar altered, paid for bis suit and had $1.60 with which to "wet it" San Francisco Post She Won tier Bet. The efficiency of tbe employees of tbe Jacksonville postoffice was put to a se vere test recently, when tbe distribut ing clerk came across a photograph with a postage stamp attached and the only direction on it as follows, says the Flor ida Times-Union: "Deliver to . Jacksonville, Fla." Several of the employees were shown tbe picture, which was taken with a email camera, aud which did not show the face of tbe person photographed very distinctly. One of the carriers named Walter Q. Coleman, the general traveling kgent of tbe F. C and P. rail way, was the person. Several of the clerks and carriers did not think that it was intended for Mr. Coleman, while others sided with the Bay street carrier. Finally a wager of $1 was made, and the carrier started out to deliver it When he reached Mr. Coleman's office, that gentleman at once claimed the photograph as one of himself. A week ago or more, while walking along Bay street, he met a young lady with a kodak, who took a snap shot at him in front cf the Gardner building. She said that if the picture was a good one she wiuld send it to bim. It also appears that the young lady won a wager made with ber father cn the delivery of the photograph to Mr. Coleman with only the directions above. Yellow Alaska Cedar.

Housekeepers frequently wonder why it is that they cannot make biscuit or cake that are light and palatable aud that taste as delicious as the biscuit and cake made by their mothers and grand mothers, the delightful memory of which even to tbis day creates a sensation of pleasure to the palate. Tbe trouble arises from the highly adulterated state of the materials they have to work with, particularly the creaiu-of-tartar and soda used to raise or javen the food. Creaiu-of-tartar and soda that are now procurable for domestic purposes contain large quantities of limn, earth, alum and other adulterants, fre quently from five tu twenty-five percent, aud consequently vary so much in strength that no person can tell tbe exact quantity to use, or properly com bio o them, to insure perfect results. From using too inacb or too little, or because of the adulterauU in them, bitter, salt, yel low, or heavy biseu its or cakes are fre quently made. These adulterants are also injurious to health. All tbis trouble may tie avoided by tbe ue of the popular Koyal Baking Powder. Where this preparation is employed in the place of cream-of-tartar aud soda, its perfect leavening power always insures light, flaky, digestible biscuit, cakes and pa try, that are perfectly wholesome and free from tbe impurities invaribly present a hen the old raising preparations are employed. The Koyal Baking Powder, we are in formed by the iiiotit reliable scientist, is perfectly pure, being made from highly refined ingredients, carefully tested, and so exactly proportioned and combined that it never fails to produce the best and uniform results. An additional advan tage io iw employment comes from tbe fact that bread or other food made with it may be eaten while hot without fear of indigestion or any unpleasant results, while being equally sweet, moist, and grateful to the palate when oil J.

Io not allow strange dogs in your poultry yard and do not allow your own dogs to chase the fowls. Guineas are among the most prolific of layers, but not so well adapted to the use of those who have small range. Where turkeys are kept growing con stantly, as they should lie, a very little extra feeding will fit theiu for mar ket. Select all the nice eggs for sittings; don't use small or ill-shaped eggs, they rarely hatch and never give satisfac tion. When the fowls are busy scratching, the hens laying and singing aud the cocks crowing, these are signs of good health. The hen that is always scratching, except when on the roost or on the nest is likely a first class layer. Lazy hens are no good.

Do not allow your fowls to roost in the stable. Provide a suitable house f:.r them alone. It is claimed that a eii of pullets without roosters, will produce eggs at one-third less cost. It will cost some small amount of cash and a little time to make all briMslers and coops for chicks vermin-proof, but it will pay in the end.
