Love at First Sight,

The Troy IN. " Wing gives an &C.
count of singular elopement by two
children. 1t says that few days ago
two girls, about thirteen years of age.
one of whom is named Farley, left Go.
hoes for walk to place a mile or two
east of Cohoes. When about half way
they met boy, aged fifteen years.
Miss Farley at once fell in love with
him, and he with her. They approached
each other, and after brief converse
ton she resolved to accompany him to
his fathers farm, in the town of Wester-
vliet, where they would be married.
The parents of the girl became alarmed
ct the absence of their daughter, but
afterwards they received letter from
her, in which she said, "I will be home
on Christmas Day and bring my hus-
band with me-"

"Here we are again." as the clown says,
when he turns ten somersets and makes half
dozen faces; so am here, ladies and gentle
men, to please you this evening, that is, if you
can be pleased with anybody so small. Little
people, all the world over, have been great
favorities. remember when was smaller
than now am, and when my nurse used to
take me up with one hand and talk Russian to
me, and whole lot of pretty women looking
in as she said, "tootsey, pootsey, he is little
tootsey, woosey," or words of the same mean
ing then they would all fall to kissing me, as
hope some of you will do this evening.
This was Charley's Christmas Eve speech, as
he stood upon the piano. with immense boots

words, Charley was personating a daCarf.

How this was managed will become tolerably
clear on examining the above engraving. A
rather taller person in the rear with a pair of
boots or his hands resting on the forward per-

something around his neck to represent a

ferocious though smaller animal, called the
California Gyasoutus or Night Howler.
Previous to the entrance into the parlor was
heard in the adjoining room the clanking Of
chains with unearthly howls, and sharp COM

door opened, and in he walked, as shown above,
uttering most hideous notes through his long
pasteboard snout, assisted in the uproar by the
shouts of of children, either terrified or trying

Farm, Garden and Household.
Hints for Winter.

Give pigs warm nest and plenty of
straw.
Feed horses according to the work
they do.
Early rising is good getting at your
work early is better.
Remember that the more work man
does the more he can do.
Clean up the premises and make
everything tidy for winter.
Make your hennery tight and warm,
and fed poultry warm food.
Sows that are destined to breed next
April should be coupled this month.
Thinking is harder work than chop
ping, and much more remunerative.
Better hire an extra man than devote
your whole time to mere routine work
Shelter saves food. It sometimes
does more than that. It saves the life
of the animal.
Breeding ewes and store sheep will
winter well on good straw and half q
pound of corn daily.
Chatting hay and straw add nothing
to their nutritive value, but makes
them more convenient for feeding.
When feeding hay it is bad prac-
tice to let the horse stand with o rack
full of hay before him all the time.
The busiest man is the man of most
leisure. The INDECENT man has never
time to do anything he does not wish
to do.
Machinery does not do away with
the necessity for labor it merely
changes its character. 1t demands
brains rather than muscle.
Animals require daily care. Make
them comfortable. Feed regularly and
literally, and see that they have con,
slant supply of fresh water.
Give sheep grain. One pound Of
corn per head per day for Merinos is al
average allowance. The large breeds
may be fed II Id each per day.
A good boy can frequently be OBJ
tanned in the winter for little more thar
his board. 1t is poor economy for
farmer to spend several hours every
day in doing work which such q boy
can do nearly or quite as we'll as hi
can,

THE CALIFORNIA GIANT, AND HOW HE Is MADE.
The door opened again and in bobbed this
monster His youthful face added to his great
stature was the admiration of all. After salts
flying himself by examining the pictures on the
wall, the top border of the wall paper, and
other objects of high art he bobbed himself
out. His cane was nothing more or less than
the long sweeping brush handle, and his cloak
of a past fashion; still a giant is allowed to
have some eccentricities. The deception was
good, and how it came about was this wise:
small boy is placed on the shoulders of a
man. long coat or overcoat over the two,
and the monster is made. Ifquite young the
ridiculousness of the figure would be helped
by pair of false moustaches, and hat about
six sizes too big, and you have giant COM
plete.
Now was heard from the adjoining room
plaintive strains from the melodeon, and we
ware told it was THE FUNERAL OF THE DWARF.

A New Cattle Disease,

~ASSNN'~'
The Pail Mall Gazette says that
cattle disease of so disagreeable ma
ture that it causes the animals affected
by it to commit suicide has broken out
on the Asiatic shore of the Bosphorus,
and has been officially reported at Con-
stantinople. 1t is characterized by froth-
ing at the mouth, running from the
eyes and nose, total loss of appetite,
great heat, and a thirst so insupporta-
BILE that some of the beasts attacked by
the illness cast themselves headlong
into adjacent rivers and streams and are
drowned. The disease, it is stated, has
been il existence for upward of a
month in several villages between Bel
cos, on the upper Bosphorus, and Sou
tarl 1t attacks bullocks and COWS ex-
clusively, and is believed to have been
introduced from Ada-Baza, beyond Is
midi. At Boskana, four hours distant
from Belcos, the disease is increasing,
and three or four beasts die every day.
At Musseinli, an hours distance inland
from Boskana, it has killed about eighty
animals, half of the stock of cattle
which the village possessed. At other
places it is reputed to be on the in
crease. At Koutchoulli sixty head of
cattle have persisted, and at the village
OF Sultan Ichit1ik, three hours distance
from Scutari, five or six animals die
daily, 1t is curious to observe that al
tho ugh the medical management of do
mesuc animals was studied by the an
Gent Egyptians, as we'll as by the
creeks and Romans, the progress of
veterinary science has been SO slow that
little or nothing is yet known of the ma
ture or treatment of cattle diseases,
which, IT not durable, are no doubt pre-.
Ventaole by proper arrangements.
Measuring Hay.
To measure the contents of O. stack Of
hay proceed as follows If it is a round
stack, taperlng to point from the
ground, measure the width halfway be-
tween the ground and the peak of the
stack multiply this width bv itself
and divide the sum by 1854 this will
give the average area of the surface COW.
cred by the stack. Then multiply that
by the height from the ground to the
point where the width was measured.
Ii these measurements are feet, the
sum found is the cubic feet in the stack,
Ii the hay is timothy, orchard grass,
mlllet, or Hungarian, 400 feet will make
ton, or cube eight feet each way. Ii
the stack is very solid, and was cut
when dead ripe, $50 feet will make a
ton, or cube of seven feet each wav.
Ii the hay is mixed with clover, about
700 feet, or cube of nine feet each
way, will make ton. If it is all clover,
or light meadow grass, or red-top. 500
feet will be required to weigh a ton. un-
less 1t is pressed very hard, when some
allowance must be made. These esti-
mates are made from notes of a great
many stacks and mows of various kinds,
and will give fair average.

He puts a pair of boots on his hands, resting
them on the piano, while companion stands
behind him and reaches his hands over Charley's
shoulders. A loose cloak or shawl is arranged
about the dwarf, so as to allow the arms of
No. 2 to project and appear as if they belonged
TO No. 1, the dwarf. This performance should
take place in doorway, where curtain can be
so arranged as to hide the head and body of
No. 2. Without further explanation it can be
eeen that the "dwarf trick" is very easily par
formed, and it always affords great amuso
ment.
