What Courtesy Did.

There was very plainly dressed, ell
derly lady, who was a frequent customer
at the then leading dry goods store in
Boston. No one in the store knew her,
even by name. All the clerks but one
avoided her and gave their attentions to
those who were better dressed and more
pretentious. The exception was one
young man, who had conscientious re-
gard for duty and system. lie never
left another customer to wait on the
lady, but when at liberty he waited up
on her with as much attention as though
she had been a princess. This continu-
ed for year or two, until the young
man became of age. One morning the
lady approached the young man, when
the following conversation took place
Lady" Young man, do you want to
go into business for yourself?"
"Yes ma'am," he responded ; but |
have neither money, credit, nor friends,
nor will any one trust me"
Well" continued the lady, "you go
and select a good location, ask what the
rent is and report to me" handing the
young man her address.
The young man went, found capital
location, and good store, but. the land
lord required security, which he could
not give. Mindful of the lady's request,
he forthwith went to her and reported.
Well" she replied, "you go and tell
Mr.. that l will be responsible"
He went, and the landlord or agent,
was surprised but the bargain was clos
ed. The next day the lady called to as
certain the result. The young man told
her, but added, What am l to do for
goods ? No one will trust me-"
You may go and see Mr.. and
Mr., and Mr., and tell them to
call on me-"
He did, and his store was soon st cked
with the best goods in the market.
There are many in this city who remem-
Der the circumstances and the man, says
Boston paper. He died many years
since and left fortune of $300,000 Sc
much for politeness and so much for civ.
ility, and SO much for treating ones ell
der's with the Difference due to age il
whatever garb they are clothed.

Mortality in Poultry.

Ordinarily, six or eight per cent of
adult fowls will die of disease annually,
when they are kept for profit and given
stimulating diet TO make them lay as
much as possible. This is not surpris-
ing when we reflect that our domestic
fowls are in highly artificial condition.
The production of large numbers of eggs
is unnatural, being habit induced by
man, and causes great strain on the
constitution. The artificial supply of
food in unlimited allowance, with no ne
cessity for exercise on the part of the
fowls, is another source of disease. In
the wild state every species of bird must
work for living and procure their food
a little at time. 1t may be observed,
also, that during the very part Of the
year when food perchance is abundant,
the wild fowls are kept from laziness by
the necessity of feeding their young, ma
ture having fixed the breeding time in
tbs flush season as regards forage. Again,
the structure of fowls is so changed by
ages of breeding, that the wings and
legs, and whole sets of muscles connected
Herewith are dwarfed by disease; while
other portions of the body are made rel
atively larger, which impairs the gener-
al vigor by destroying to some extent
the natural balance of the organization
For these and other reasons it is to be
expected that the ordinary death rate in
the poultry yard will be considerable.
The fact that fowls will die of old age
anyhow, when FIVE or six-at most eight
years old Gin most cases) renders it like
ly that a certain proportion will die an
nually at an earlier age. In conformity
with this idea, geese, which do not reach
old age till twenty to one hundred years,
do not drop off in the early years of
maturity to so great an extent as hens.
The moral of the above is that novices
in poultry raising need not worry over
their ill-luck, or mistrust that their man.
agement is any worse than that of their
neighbors, because, perchance, few of
their fowls of two, or three, or four years
old, die every summer. 1t is to be ex-
pected, unless the breed kept is uncom-
monty hardy, and all the circumstances
are unusually favorable. Reduce the
death rate as much as possible by hygi-
enic measures, rather than by medicine.
Give plenty of air and sunshine, feed
moderately, and promote exercise, and
expect some losses in spite of all precau-
tions. Bufa.o Live Stock Joarnak

A Court Scene.

! heard story years ago, Of which !
can never think without an inward smile
At the assize held on certain occa-
sion in the county of Lincoln, England
and while case of Importance was on
trial, both the Court and counsel had
much difficulty in getting the timid
country witnesses to speak loud enough
to be heard by the jury. 1t was an au-
gust, awe-inspiring place to those simple
minded people. One of the counsel in
particular, had been especially bothered,
though it was more than probable that
his own ungentlemanly and coarse badg-
ering had more to do with intimidating
witnesses than anything else,
He was self-sutficient and overbear-
ing man, who had gained place by mar
rying the rich widow Of deceased no.
bleman. After this counsel had coaxed
and badgered, and bullied number of
witnesses into confusion, there was ano-
ther called upon the stand-a young
hostler, stout and vigorous, who seemed
the very incarnation of simplicity.
Now, sir, said the counsel aforesaid,
in tone stern and outrageonsly loud,
al trust we shall have no difficulty in
making you speak up"
Sartin zur-I hope not, shouted the
witness in a voice which almost shook
the building.
How dare you speak in that way,
sir 2" demanded the counsel indignant
ly.
" Please, EUR, | can't speak no louder" T"
returned the witness with a volume Of
tone which this time shook the building
entirely.
Look ye, my man-have you been
drinking this morning?" demanded the
counsel, his temper evidently tried to its
utmost.
"Yes, zur."
Ah-wbat have you drank ?"
Coffee, zur."
Did you have anything in your
coffee?
ayes, sir"
What was it 2"
:" A splne, zur."
The audience roared and even the
Court hid its face, while the exhausted
counsel sunk into his chair evidently
feeling that he had had enough.-N. Y.
Ledger.

Home COurtesies.

A writer in Harper's Bazaar makes
some excellent remarks concerning cour-
tesy at home:
The placing the arm chair in warm
place for mamma, running for foot
stool for aunty, hunting up papa's spec
tacles, and scores of little loving deeds,
show unsurpassed and loving hearts.
But if mamma never returns smiling
+" Thank you, DEAR" if papa's "Just
what | was wanting, Susie" does not in
dicate that the little attentions appreci-
ated, the children soon drop the habit.
Little people are initiative creatures, and
quickly catch the spirit surrounding
them. So, if when the mothers spool
Of cotton rolls from her lap, the father
stoops to pick it up, bright eyes viii see
the act, and quick minds make note of
it. BY example, thousand times more
quickly than by precept. children can be
taught to speak kindly to each other, to
acknowledge favors, to be gentle and
unselfsh, to be thoughtful and consider
ate of the comfort of the family. The
boys with inward pride of their fathers
courteous demeanor, will be ehivalrous
and helpful to their young sisters the
girls, initiating the mother, will be gen.
tie and patient, even when big brothers
are noisy and needless. In the home
where true courtesy prevails, it seems to
meet you on the very threshold. You
feel the kindly welcome on entering. No
rude eyes scan your dress. No angry
voices are heard up stairs. No sullen
children are sent from the room. A de-
lightful atmosphere pervades the house
-unmistakable, yet indescribable.

AN ELEPHANTS GRAVEYARD Re.
ports come from Colorado that Lieut..
Wheeler's expedition has hit upon an
immense deposit of the bones of nam
moths, mastodons and other monsters OF
the elephantine family, which will be of
the greatest interest to the scientific
world. Many of the spec; mems are said
to be entirely new to geologists, while
Others belong TO very rare and compare
lively unknown species, the finding OF
which in good condition iu Colorado will
throw much light on past eras and for
nations. More than a thousand bird
skins also have been discovered, some OF
singular varieties, while of the fishes ex-
bumed five of the species are entirely
new. The specimens have not yet been
arranged and classified, but many of
them have already been forwarded to
Washington, where competent scientists
will take them in hand and publish the
results of their analysis.
