my tongue still, inwardly swearing to
break his bones the very first opportunity
that presented itself. I saw there was no

night was dreaming about rainbows,

doctors, mixed up worse than a Dutch

"Wel, Squire, to make short story
of it, made up my mind to have the
widow, or kill myself or somebody else.
$50 made it convenient to be on hand
where she was, upon all occasions. I
couldn't eat nor sleep nor work, and if
the thing had held on, I would't have
sense enough left to skin a rabbit. But
I was determined it shouldn't last long,
for I'd been fooled so often by women
that thought wouldn't give her time
to think of anything but me. She ap-
peared to take me right sharply, and the

interest in t'other world just to have been
at some safe place where I could have
seen the row. AS soon as they found that
they were the same felix's that married
the night before, they called for warm
water and soap, but just here the doctor
happened to think about the pitcher and
took it to the door to see what was the
matter. There was little piece of
caustic that had not dissolved, and as he
saw it he says:

How to Cook GOOD Beef steak.

Have your steak cut thick, put it on
pointed knife prick it every imaginable
way to make it tender, put it on the
gridiron over the fire, turning it very
often. Put lump of butter, and some
salt and pepper, into a tin dish. Put
your steak dish where it will get
warmed. When the steak is cooked,
put it into the tin dish and double it
over; press out all the blood you can,
and lay the steak on your plate. Set
the tin dish with the blood, pepper, and
salt on the stove, and as soon as it boils
up and thickens pour it over your steak.
You can add can of mushrooms to the
gravy. This recipe was never known to
fail.

saw was a stick of lunar caustic. I slipped
it into my pocket, for had my plan as
soon as I saw it. Well, watched around
till saw one of the girls go to the pail
with the pitcher, so went out and asked
her what she was going to do with it.
She said she was goiug to carry it to the
room for the doctor and Poll ly to wash
their faces in. I kept talking to her while
turned her head 1 dropped the caustic
into it. It was then about bedtime, and
I got my hat and put out, but I couldn't
help laughing all the way home, when
ever I'd think about it next morning.

Save the Best Fowls for Breeding.

It is the worst policy to kill all tue
best and handsomest fowls, and save
only the mean and scraggy ones to
breed from. This is precisely the way
to run out your stock for like tends to
breed like, and the result is, that by
continually taking away the best birds,
and using the eggs of the poorest, your
flock will grow poorer every succeeding
year.
1t would seem that this was too plain
to be insisted upon, but, in fact, cline
upon line" is needed. It is the crying
want of the poultry upon the farms
the c.untry through-this careful and
intelligent selection of the best for
breeding.
Nothing is lost by little self-denial
to start with. The extra pound or two
of poultry flesh that you leave on the
legs, instead of sending it to market, is
as good seed, and it will bring forth ten
fold and twenty-fold in your future
breeding. ng.-Poeltry World.

A WORD TO TRAVELLERS I'VE have
a word to say in favor of the Missouri
Pacific railroad. It was the "pioneer''
line Westward and is the sold reliable"
route toSt. Louis. With the improve
msnts which have been made during
the past year, we believe that the Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad has the best
track and the finest and safest equip
ment of any line west of the Mississ-
ippi. It is the only line which runs
three daily express trains of fine
coaches and Pullman sleepers, equip
ped with the Miller platform and the
patent air brake, from leading points
IN the West, through Kansas City, Sc
daIia and Jefferson City to st. Louis
without change, connecting at st.
Louis with eleven different through
routes TO points Nortii, Eastaad South.

time tables, &C., may be had at the
