The Waste and Folly of Cold Barns.

WHAT showing would the cost of winter
feed of his animals make on the account
book, if the farmer keeps one lie
would find that n large proportion of his
feed had become dissipated in the frozen
air of the north winds that good por-
ton of hay or corn had gone to melt ice
or snow and evaporate cold rain-water,
and that what was left after these things
had been DONE had barely sutticed to keep
life in his beasts. For in this case philos-
ophy, or science, or book-knowledge-c call
it what you willis thoroughly corrobor-
ated by practice.
If two beasts are fed alike, except that
one is kept well stabbed, aud the other out
of doors, exposed to the cold, the one thus
exposed will consume just double the
amount that the other will, and will be in
worse condition beside. Every man who
/ keeps Il COW knows this to some extent,
| though he may not know the exact figures.
/ Here we give them-they are the result OF
Il careful experiment made by trust
worthy feeder, viz; Two lots of sheep (oi
five each) were selected, of equal weights
and conditions. One lot was kept out OF
doors and unsheltered, the other kept in q
close pen. The lot unsheltered ate l,9ls
pounds of turnips, against SS6 pounds eat
en- by the other lot. The gain in weight was
% pounds per head in the first, 2S pounds
per head in the second. The profit can
be figured out by any man who knows
what turnips and mutton are worth. Had
not the feeding been abundant some OF
the exposed sheep would have died. Ant
yet sheep will stand more exposure thar
calves or heifers, or even full-grown cat
tie. Notwithstanding all this, every win
ter's day one may see young calves hump

chips beside it, and thus left it supplied
with wood and waterfall had-and

What Advertising Did.


MuLAuD the banker and newspaper
speculator, who died recently in Paris,
and who founded the Paris Petite Journal.
which at one time had daily circulation
of nearly half million copies, was an
enthusiastic believer in the advantages of
liberal Advertising One day he had at
his table nearly all the proprietOrs of the
leading Paris dailies. They conversed
about advertising. NIilaud asserted that
the most worthless articles could be soldin
vast quantities, If literally advertised
Emil dc Girardin, of La Presse, who was
present, took issue with him on the sub
iect. "What will you bet" exclaimed
Millaud, " that | cannot sell in one week
one hundred thousand francs worth OF
the most common cabbage. seed under the
pretext that it will produce mammoth cab
bage-heads? All have to do is to adver-
tise it at once in whole page insertion in
the daily papers of this city Girardin
replied that he would give him page in
his paper for nothing if he should win
his wager The other newspaper pub
fishers agreed to do the same thing At
the expiration of the week they inquired
of Millaud how the cabbage-seed had
fiourished. He showed them his books
triumphantly, and satisfied them that he
had sold nearly twice as much as he had
promised, while orders were still pouring
in; but he said the joke must stop there;
and no further orders would be filed.

troit, Michigan. A few years elapsed,
when herself and husband were on q
steamer which was wrecked near Buffalo.
The husband persisted and the wife es-
capped solely through the exertions of
friend who was on board. His gallantry
inspired such sentiments in her breast
that she married her brave preserver a
few months after her third widowhood.
The happy pair removed to Pittsburgh,
where the husband was engaged in mer-
camille business. Thither Robert, still
cherishing his first love, followed them.
One day as he was passing the husbands
store he saw terrible commotion. Rush
ing in, he beheld the mangled corpse of
that gentleman on the floor. A tierce OF
rice, in being hosted to an upper story,
had fallen through the traps, killing him
instantly. Anxiously Robert inquired ifany
one had been sent to inform his wife, and
was told that the book-keepef had Just
gone. Robert started for Allegheny City,
where the deceased had resided, at tho
top of his speed The book-keeper was
just ahead Of him, and from past expert
ence, knowing the virtue of prompt ac-
tion, and apprchending that the clerk had
designs on the widow, he ran for dear
life, side-by-sidc. The race continued
until they peached Hand street bridge,
when the clerk was obliged to stop and
pay the tolls, while Robert, commuter,
passed over without stopping Reaching
the house of the widow first, Robert told
the heart-rcnding news, and in the same
breath made proposal of marriage He
was accepted True to her promise, after
a year of mourning she became his wife.
AS all her husbands had died wealthy,
Robert was comfortably fixed after all.
This case is remarkable example of
what pluck and perseverance will do for
a man, while at the same time it teaches
lesson on the danger of delay"

A THRILLINsi TALE.

The following is about as. correct
as the generality of the novels of the
present day.
"Twas at the close of beautiful
afternoon one morning in December,
that three pedestrians might be seen
going up hill on horseback in three
wheeled carriage. The youngest of
these three gentleman was an old lady
about IA years of age whose jetwhite
locks were combed back from her
ampled forehead and hung in luxu-
rious profusion from the overhanging
and underhanging boughs of water
lily that stood upon the steps of q
marble hen coop, half a mile distant
in which some person was engaged
in religious exercises. The fourth
person of this trio was not present.

attack of sea-sickness, which he had
caught from his next neighbor, who
lived fourteen miles in the country.
Being endowed with superhuman
strength by the sudden attack of the
Saracen, be seized the wagon by the
hind legs and sculled across the ever
glades as fast as his legs could carry
him. But the young lady who was
killed, seeing that she had sustained
ne injury, offered to give her note OF
hand for the balance.

SINGULAR CASE.

A young lady of Pittsburg, to all
appearances laid dead for % days.
When she died (?) there was pc
culiar expression on her countenance,
and decomposition not appearing, her
friends refused to allow her to be bur-
led. On the 22nd day she arose with
start, as if just awakened from a re-
freshing sleep, and was surprised up
on being informed of her Rip Van
Winkle slumber. About her first
motion was to go to the cupboard
and put herself outside of couple of
pies. She then told the astonished
neighbors who had filed the house
that she had only been asleep and
dreaming, and became greatly an
noyed at what she thought was their
propensity to "tease" her for aover-
sleeping herself an hour in the morn
ing" It is very singular case

for two years at the church of Salisbury and
Amesbury, Mass, and in Antrim and Deer
ing, N. ii. Then, in consequence OF bron-
chial difficulty and failure of health, he re-
sumed the business of teaching and took
charge of the academy I'm Hampton, N. H.,
where he was eminently succe ssful, having
as his pupils there some who have since at
tanned to high position, among whom are
Senators Clark of New Hampshire and
Grimes of Iowa, and Hon. Amos Tuck of
N. II. In 1888, at the earnest desire of the
trustees of Brattleboro Academy, he re-
turned to his native village, and became for
the second time principal of the academy,
which, under his skilful and faithful man
agement, soon rose TO higher point OF
prosperity than at any previous period of
its history. In 1887 his health failed, and
for several years after he was obliged to
suspend active employment. In ls45, hav-
ing partially recovered his health, he be-
came for the third time principal of the
academy, in which position he continued
for eight years. The following resolution,
copied from the records of the corporation,
expresses the high regard in which he was
held:
"ResolUed, That we consider ii due to Mr..
Roswell Harris, who for eight years past,
in feeble health and amid many discourage
ments, has kept the school in successful
and useful operation, to express to him our
ardent regret at the necessity which led him
sympathy with him in his trials; our pro-
found sense of the indebtedness of the acad-
envy for its past and present prosperity; for
his vigilant care, his heartfelt interest, his
wise counsels, and his untiring and self
sacrificing labors during the II years in
which, at three different periods, he has
| been connected with il as principal. And
| we express the hope that the institution may
continue to enjoy, so far as practicable, the
benefit of his valued intructions and his
| large experience"
In August, 1893, he married Miss Matilda
Leavitt of Hampton, n. H., who died in
| West Brattleboro Dec. 10, 1871, leaving him
| three sons, the youngest little more than
| four years old. These sons were all edu-
Gated for the ministry, and two of them are
now in the sacred office, in connection with
the Episcopal church. The other, after en-
tering upon the work in the Congregational
church at Wilmington, was compelled by
| the failure of eyesight to turn aside to sec
ular pursuits. Mr.. Harris was the first SUI
| perintendent of schools for the town of Brat
| tleboro, and held the Office for many years.
For more than half a century associated
| with the schools of this section, his pupils
are numbered by thousands, by whom, as
well as by all who knew him, his memory
will be fondly cherished.
