Ny friend, did you ever examinp the
fragrant pole kat clussly2
guess NOS, they are kritter who
won't bear examining with q micros-
kope.
They are butiful things, but oh
now deceptive.
Their habits are few but unique.
They bniid their houses out of earth,
and the houses have but one door tew
them, and that is front door.
When they enter their houses they
don't shut the door after them.
They are kallsd pole kats bekause it
il not convenfent teR Kin them with
8 klub, but with pole, and the longer
the pole Is, the more convenient
Writers on natural history disagrt e
about the right length of thepole to be
used, but I.would suggest that the pole
be about three hundred and siXty-five
feet, long espeshily if the wind is in
favor Of the pole kat.
When q pole kat is suddenly wal
loped with q long pole, the frst thing
that he, she or it daz il to embaim the
air for many miles in diameter with
anakrimOniousO Oilfaktory refreshment
which permeates the ETHEREAL fluid
with an entirely original smell.
This smell L less popular in the ia
shionable world than Lubin's extrakt,
but the day may come when it will
be bottled up like musk, and sold for
eighty-seYen and rOne-half cents per
bottle; bottles small at that.
A pole kat will remove the filling
from q hens egg without breaking a
hole in theshell bigger than marrow
fat pea.
How this is did historians have left
US 10 doubt.
This IS yulgsrly called ''sueking
eggs.H A8a sAkt tstalA lNt
This IL an accomplishment known
among humans, which ii is said they
have learned from the pole kats.
Pole llats also deal in chickens,
young turkeys and gOslens.
They won't touch an old goose, they
are sound on that question.
Man is the only phellOW who will
attempt tew blight into an old goose,
and his teeth fly oph a great many
times before he lOosens emmy oy the
meat.
A pole kat travels under the alias
which is called skunk. There is a
CRATE menny aliases that there is no
accounting for, and this is one of them.
I have caught skunks in a trap
They are easier 20 git into a trap than
to git out Of it.. ffts &
In taking them out Of a trap, CRATE
judgment must be had not tew shake
them up the more yU shake them
up, the more ambrosisl they am.
One pole kat in township is enuf,
especially If the wind changes once
in a while.
A pole kat skin is wurth two dollars
In market after it is skinned, but it il
wurth three dollars and fifty cents

This is one way to make twleve

NutrltITe Value of MIX.

A chemist of Providence,R R. L, states
that milk is more nutritious than
meat. The nutritive value of milk,
as compared with other kinds of ami
NAL food, is not generally appreciated.
There Is less difference between the
economical value of milk and beef
steak (Or eggs or fish than Is com.
monty supposed. The quantity of
water in a good quality of milk is
eighty-s per cent, ia eggs about
eighty-eight per cent, in round-steak
seventy-five per cent, and IN fatter
beef sixty per cent. From several
analysis made last winter, I estimat-
ed siTlOin steak, (reckoning loss for
bone), at thirty-five cents a pound, as
dear as milk at tWenty-four cents a
quart; round steak, at twenty cents a
pound, as milk at fourteen cents q
quart; eggs at thirty cents a dozen, as
dear IS milk at twenty cents quart.
Many labOrers, who pay seventeen
cents for corned beef, would consider
themselves hardly able to pay ten
cents for milk, when in fact they
could as well pay fifteen cents.
MIX is a most wholesome and eco
nomical food for either the rich or
poor. It ought to be more largely
used. II themOney expended for veal
and pork were expended for milk, 1
doubt not that it would be an advan-
tage both TO the stomach and pocket,
especially during the warm season.
Relative by speaking, then, milk at ten
cents or even twelve cents quart, is
the cheapest animal food that can be
used. Whether farmers can afford to
produce it cheaper is a mattOr for
them to decide. It Is very probable
that were they to ask twelve cents, a
very large number Of poor people
would refrain from its use from mis-
taken notions Of economy, notWith-
standing they are excessive meat
eaters.

have a tree, graft of Love,
That in my heart has taken root;
Sad are the buds and blooms thereof
And bitter sorrow is its fruit;
Yet, since it was a tender shoot,
So greatly hath its shadow spread,
That underneath all joy is dead,
And all my pleasant days are flown,
Nor can | slay it, nor instead
Plant any tree, save this alone.
All, yet, for long and long enough
MY tears were rain about its root,
And though the fruit be harsh thereof,
l scarcely looked for better fruit
Than this, that carefully put
In garner, for the bitter bread
Whereon my weary life is fed;
All, better were the soil unsown
That bears such growths, but Love instead
Will plant no tree, but this alone.
All, would that this new spring, whereof
The leaves and flowers flush into shoot,
might have succor and aid Of Love
To prune these branches at the root,
That long have borne such bitter fruit;
And graft a new bough, comforted
With happy blossoms white and red,
So pleasure should for pain atone,
Nor Love Stay this tree, nor instead
Plant any tree, but this alone.
Princess, by whom my hopes are fed,
My heart thee prays in lOwlihead
To prune the i'll boughs overgrown
Nor slay Loves tree, nor plant instead
Another tree save this alone.
