During the latter part of September, says the Sau Francisco News Letter, Mr. Willis Polk was a member of a house party being entertained at a country place not so very far from San Francisco. At dinner one night the subject of art was broached, nnd the discussion soon became general. The . hostess, however, threw a damper on the topio by a frankly expressed dis like of wielders of the pencil and brush. "I can't stand artists," she said, petulantly, and when everyone looked surprised she added : "They are always so dirty, you know." Polk leaned impulsively toward his hostess, with a deprecating gesture. "My dear madam " he began, in polite but emphatio protest. "Why, Mr. Polk," replied the lady, answering his unspoken exception with airy frankness, "you are not au artist!" AN OPERATION AVOIDED. Mtb.

Tho main object of pruning currant bushes is to properly develop every portion pf tho plant. To obtain this, it is necessary to cut out occasionally the old wood and shorten tho most rigorous of the young growth. One half dozen large vigorous shoots will give more and larger fruit thau twice that number of weak and immature sues. Valne of Concentrating Mannre. Concentrating the manure on a small area may appear as a waste, but re sults have always been in favor of so Joing. The Massachusetts Board of Agriculture calls attention to the fact that the keeper of a livery stable ap plied the manure from fifteen horses B. an acre and a half of land for sev eral years and harvested two and three srops of hay each year, the aggregate beiug seven and a half tons each sea ion, or more than three times as much s the laud would have produced with Dut such treatment. Milk nnd Meat For Poultry. The ininression is more or less jeue.al that milk, either pure or sKitumeu, win take tuo place of meat in the poultry ration. While no one will nuestion the valne of milk as a poultry food it should bo remembered mat it contains but ten per cent, of solids after it is skimmed, as against Bichtv-niue Tier cent, ot solids in meat, of which four per cent, is mineral matter absolutely essential to egg production. Iu the consumption of milk in place of nient the fowl ia sompelled to drink too much water contained therein iu order to obtain the required solids. When milk is fed in connection with meat wa hnr a combination making a most profit able feeding. The milk may be either whole or skimmed, but it should at no time be fed when very sour, as it theu decomposes. A very small amount of cooked fat meat is not ob jectionable, but the best is lean meat with the bono, the latter run through a bone cutter. Tie and Coat of Land Flaater. Land blaster is sold verv chonnlv in places where tho rock suitable for grinding it from is abundant. It ia there, too, that it appears to do most good, probably m part because the gypsum rock has always enough holes through it to make ttood drainaca. There is no uso putting plaster on land mat is most of tne year full of water. Its best effect is alwavs fonnd on lieht and dry soils, for one of the proportiei oi piaster is to attract moisture, winch such soil usually needs. We have known plaster sold at the mills as low ns $2 per ton in winter when most of tuo rocs grinding is done. Ten oi fifteen miles away and in summer, when farmers want to use it for croris. the price would jump up to 8.50 and S3 per ton. So those who U9ed much plaster generally went with sleighs durinsr a rnn of arood sleiehin?. when they would sometimes draw two tons or more on a load. A half bushel oi plaster weijrhs pretty near 100 pounds. so that a good deal can be put in au ordinary sleign box, and drawn by a smart team when tho sleighing was a its best. American Cultivator. - Teedlng Cattle For Market. AH who are interested have doubt less noticed the fact that the market now furnishes only the small or medium sized animals. The heavy steer and the fat hog are rarely seen. The mar ket demands the small animals, for consumers have learned that the flesh is more tender and juicy than in large animals. Heifer beef is taking the place of steer beef, for the former, equally well fattened at the same age, is of much better quality. It is a fact worthy of record that tho producer fought for a long time against this demand for young market stock, especially in beef. The demand had to be met or no sale, so he swallowed his choler and has now discovered the astounding fact that he can make a pound of meat cheaper and of better quality on the yoang animal than the older one, and that when the animal gets beyond a certain weight feediug cannot be continued profitably. Thus it is certain that the pre-conceived ideas are being daily upset and often times, as in this case, forced changes are made contrary to out better judg ment only to find later that had they taken place sooner we would have been money in pocket. Keeping Eggs For Winter. I have tried many different methods of packing eggs, but have found that keeping them ia brine is more satis factory than any method of dry pack ing that I have hod any experience with. I use jars in which to keep the brine, although kegs or any water tight vessels will answer the purpose. The recipe for making the brine is as follows: To three gallons of water, half a pint of water-slacked lime, of the consistency of thick cream, and one pint ofjcomuion salt. Stir until both lime aud salt are dissolved; then drop the eggs carefully to prevent cracking, as a cracked egg will soon spoil. The eggs must sink gently, not rapidly, and must almost float, but if they float on the top the brine is too strong and more water can be added. Eggs must be entirely fresh and each day's supply deposited in the brine as soon as gathered. If these directions' are followed eggs will be fresh in ap pearance and quality after being in the brine a year. Of course, a fresh-laid egg is preferable for table use or cake icing to any packed egg, but there are many ways of using eggs iu which a packed egg answers equally as well, and there is a time in the life of a hen, when moulting, that she does not seem to have the interest of the housewife at heart, but is looking after her own comfort. Eggs then become scarce and high and a"store of packed ones from which to draw is very acceptable. Rural World. Band Removed From the Mersey.

' A good-nntured nhiianthronist was walk ing along tbe docks ono Sunday morning, wnen no louna a ooy asleep in a hogshead. He shook him till be was wide awake, and then opened the following conversation: "What ore you doing here, boy" "I slept here nil night, sir, lot I bad no Other place to sleep in." "How is that? Have you no father or motnerr vi no takes care or you?" "My father drinks, sir, and I don't know whore he is. I have to take care of m vself, for my mother is dead; she died not'long ago." And at the mention of her name the boy's eyes filled with tears. "Well, come along with me. I'll civs rou a home, and look after you as well as can." The child thus adopted on the wharf was taken to a huppy home. Ha was sent to a common school, aud afterwards employed as a clerk iu the store ot his benefactor. When he became of age, his friend and benefactor said to him: "You hava been a faithful and honest boy and raau, and it you will make three promises I will furnish you with letters ot credit, so that you can start business at the West on your own ac count." "What promlsos do you wUa me to make?" Inquired the young man. "First, that vou will not drink lntoxlcat. ing liquors ot any kind." "I agree to that." "Second, that you will not use profane spescb." "1 agree to that." "Third, that you will not beoome a poli tician." "I agree to that." The vounz man started in business at tha West, and, by minding his own business, in a tew years he became a rich man. At the close of the war he came East, and called upon his friend and accepted father. In the course of a happy interview the philanthropist asked his adopted sou if hi had kept his total-Abstinence pledge. "Yes, sir," was the answer. "Have you abstained iron the use ol profane speech?" "les, sir," said the man with emphasis, "Have you had anything to do with politics?" The viiltor the adopted son perhaps I sho'ild have said blushed and said, "Without my consent I was nominated fot Governor of my State and elected. I am now on my way to Wahlngton to transact important business for the State." Did ever a hogshead turn out so good a thing as a teetotal Governor before? II had to be emptied of Its wins before it could ba a shelter for the littl-j Arab who ran wild In that wilderness ot marbio and mortar, the great city of New York. The streets and wharves of the groat metropolis of commerce invite missionary effort, and the writer hooas that the littlt waifs afloat on the wave of ontwarJ life will not be neglected. Ueorge W. Bungay. Denounces Liquor TrafTlo. The fourth sermon of the "Cndor tlis Flag" series was preached recently by Rav. Melbourne I. Covuton at Voodlawn Bap tist Church, Chicago. His subject was; "Slaves." He said, among other things: All the race Is la bondage. When onr colored brethren marched out under the flag, freed men, nil our slaves were not liberated. Many nre still In bondage, a tbralldom worse than that which held tbe negro, for this present day slavery is both body and soul. Political slaves abound who care more for party than purity. Commercial slaves are everywhere poor girls whose lives are ground out under the heal of a satanio greed. So-called mer chant princes, whose silly souls are spent in hoarding coined dust. Social bondmeo, whose exterior is silk and interior ia rags, who dress like queens nnd live like paupers. Ecclesiastical slaves, living in little grooves, with a copyright on heaven. A nation can be a slave as well as an in dividual. Columbia stuuds with chains upon her glorious form, and the flag that should typify her graces and shed her glory Is tho protector of her masters.

This prince ot demons, this cruel master ot onr land is tho liquor traffic ot the United States, which cost us in money in 1896 1,196,878, 422. This is our tribute for one year to the savage who thrives on broken hearts, ruined homes, a debauched peoplo and dammed souls. j College Drinking; on the Increase. The Interior makes this startling state ment: "The evil of college drinking is on the Increase, nnd not only so, but the col lego system of drinking is descending into the academies and high schools. This fact we know to be true. There are so cieties of boys in educntloaal Institutions and they are increasing in which, while a halt is on a spree, the other half abstains to take care of them, the abstatnors taking their tarn at the bowl when their companions have sobered up." Nor is this conllned to State schools. This statement ot tbe Interior's was called out through a reference to Princeton Uni versity, in which is a Tresbyterian theo-' logicul seminary. True temperance is a live subject to-day. It is present truth etlll, as a part ot the faith, equally with righteousness and Judgment to come. What Droukenne Will Do. "Drunkenness," snys one writer on the vice, "will mnke a pauper, aa invalid, a lunatic. It will send you an empty pursn, an empty wardrobe, and an empty shelf. It gives you a taste for swearing, obscenity, nnd impurity. It incliaes you to choose begging for a profession rather than inde pendence. It qualifies you to become an undutlful child, an nnnatural parent, a cruel husband or a disgusting wife. These are but a little ot what drunkenness does." """" Stray Arrow. The blackest devil in the world to-day Is the drink devil. Old men are drunkards because young men take drink. A warm welcome to your fireside may wean some boy from the saloon. It Is better to have faith than fear, and much better to buy bread than beer. The mnn who drinks only one drink a day is on the side of the drinking customs. Tbe young man is wise who keeps as far as possible away from the liquor den. Faith in God and hard work will not only straugle tho liquor fiend, but it will ulti mately drive the devil out of the world. Tbe American peoplo have celebrated an other "Independence Dny;" aud still are as dependent as ever for revenue, in ponce und in war, upon King Alcohol, a worse tyrant than King George ever was. . .

Tho President's visit to tlie Omnba Exposition wns the cause of a pretty bit of by-play. Whilo Mr. MoKinley was passing through the buildings the immense crowd was lined up on either side, aud supcr-abuudant enthusiasm was restrained as usual by ropes. Bnt there was one who was not to be kept back, As the Chief Executive of the Nation entered the Manufactures Building a little girl, with tawny hair, slipped under the ropes, and before tho vigiiaut arm of a burly policeman could obey the warning of his more vigilant eye she had gripped the Presi dential coat-tails. "Please, Mr. McKinley," said a small voice with a childish Hsd. "Please, Mr. McKinley, won't you wear my rose ia your buttonhole?" , lhe President paused, Bmiling. Certainly, my dear," he said. "We'll exchange." Taking from, the lapel of, his coat the red carnation that he always wears, he gavo it to the little girl nnd put the rose in its placo. lnen, and not until then, was the ong proccseion of Cabinet Ministers. diplomats, Governors, Senators and soldiers allowed to pass on, wondering what could have been the cause of this delay. Philadelphia Press. The Anti-Germ Harber Shops. Even barbering is becoming scien tific. The germ theory now comes to the aid of a man who is getting his chin reaped or his haircut. Chicago baroers are introducing antiseptic shaves" and "sterilized razors" and "hygienio" brushes. In many of tho first-class shops all the towels, shears, razors, combs and brushes used on a customer are sub jected first to a bath in an antiseptic fluid. The operator likewise washes his hands in a solution warranted to destroy germs. Every customer is furnished with a separate cup, which is kept for his individual use. It is claimed that by this method infection is impossible. Under the old system germs throve and were transmitted from face to face by the barber's tools. Chicago Inter-Ocean. Aa Elizabethan Letter.

Bonio experiments recently made in Jelgium tend to throw doubt on tho ruth of the assumption that insects iro guided to flowers by tho bright ness of their colors. Brilliantly col ired dahlias were covered so as to ihow only tho disks, and butterflies ind bees sought theso flowers with the tame cngerni'Ks and frequency as those rbich were fully exposed. Tho con ilusion reached, that the insects were ;uidcd by the Ff uso of smell rather Uian by their sight, seems convincing, The Mesntolc Age. In the latter prrt of the mesozoio i jo thero was a great inland ocean, tprcading over a largo part of the tresent continent. The lands then tbove water were covered with a flora peculiar to tho times and were inhab i:ed by some of the animals which later t.istmguishod the cenozoio age. In tho teas were reptiles, fishes and turtles 5f gigantic proportions, armed for of funso or defense. Thero were also Dystcr-lik bivalves, with enormous rhells, three or four feet in diameter, Iho meat of which would have fed many people. In time this great oceap, swarming with vigorous life, disappeared, Mountain ranges and plains gradually arose, casting forth the waters and leaving the monsters to die and bleach in tertiary suns. As tho water re mained divided into smaller tracts tbey gradually lost their saline stabil ity. The stronger monsters gorged on the weaker tribes until they, too, stranded on rising sand bars or lost vitality and perished as tho water freshened. In imagination wo can picture tho strongest, bereft of their food supply at last and floundering in the shallow pools until all remaining mired or starved. It would bo inter esting to know how much of the great cretaceous ocean forms a part, if any,' of the vast oconusof to-day. Popular bcience. A Strange Animal Group. Thero is an interesting animal group in the Zoological Garden at Leipsio. A dog is bringing up a baby beavev and a baby hyena. At first the young animals were fed on the bottle. This not proviug satisfactory, the keeper ot the garden cast about for a substitute and finally mado a trial of a kind dog as a mother for the baby beaver and the baby hyena. The experiment was a success and now the wee-wees are flourishing. The little beaver is a diligent bather and tho little hyena ia au eager devourer of chopped meat. Notwithstanding their diverse natures, the beaver and hyena babies get along capitally together. New York Herald. Moit Artistic. "That's not an art store; that's bank," protested tho native.
