the name of Lafayette's chateau, where
Gle de chateau of earlier days was as well

about the same meaning as park, lodge,

Thus we see that the name the North.

fashionable daughter ola rich inannfac:

proposes, receives the mitten from fash:

never dreamed of such thing. Talent

heart, but has the fractures repaired in a
few years by the application of fat fees
in brief, becomes rich man. The manu-
facturer breaks, and the fashionable
daughter exchanges her silks and velvets
for calicoes, and her jewels for ''fire-gilt."
Part second: Rich lawyer again pro-
poses, is joyfu11y accepted, and the we'd
ding day is fixed. Guests assemble-par-
son on the tioor-plighted lover advances
all ON. a sudden the talented lawyer
throws himself in high tragedy attitude,

denounces the observation-disclosures of

Feed For Producing Milk.

The Practical Farmer says: 1t is well
settled in the opinion of our best dairy
men, that bran greatly promotes the milk
secretion in cows, and it is fed almost
universally. About equally mixed with
corn-meal is the usual proportion. This
mixture seems to promote both quantity
and quality ofmilk.
From several sources we hear that
buckwheat bran is a great milk producer,
and it is now being used considerably
among our Chester County dairymen,
in about the same proportions as the
other. :
Thomas Gawthorp, near West Grove,
Chester County, by repeated trials with
his own, cows has fully satisfied himself
that they do as we'll with corn and cob
meal and bran as with pure corn meal
and bran. The amount Of nutriment in
corn-cobs is so very small that this result
will have to be explained on the sup
position of the ground cob acting to pro-
mote digestion by distending the stomach.
The presence of bulky material being
necessary to promote distention and fill
up the stomach of Eliminating animals
before perfect digestion can be accom-
plished, is frequently lost sight of.
Hungarian grass is also found for mich
cows to be rather superior to the ordi-
nary run of hay. The last year or two
Hungarian grass has doomed up wonder

the latter of course on good soils. Three
pecks to the acre is the usual allowance
of seed. Where a good hay market is
convenient, this substitution of Hun
garian grass for common hay in home
feeding will be clear additional source
of profit.

Water as . Cause Of Typhoid Fever.

The Medical Department of the London
Local Government Board has just issued
an important report on the causes of ty-
phoid or enteric fever in London. Of the
various ways in which water may be made
the vehicle for distributing the fever, the
report gives the following as illustrat ions:
"At Terling Place ten persons were at

persons and these only of large family,

cause last year. No one took the fever in
the village except persons who certainly
or presumably drank water from partic-

this pump was subject to infection"

A REMARKABLE breach Of promise case
was tried in Pittsburgh court, recently.
In this case the forlorn and broken heart
ed damsel commenced suit, several months
ago, against the man who refused to fulfil
his promise of marrying her, and during
its progress married another man. The
curious incident was therefore witnessed,
of married woman bringing suit against
aman, who was by this time also married,
for refusing to marry her. The jury found
it difficult to decide what amount would
fifty heal her lacerated heart.
