NIr. CobIeigIa,s suspenders.

We are a particular people. When
we place anything down. We want to
find it just there when we look for it.
We arc very particular about this. And
when we do not place anything Just
there, we expect to find it there Just the
same. And more SO.
Mr.. Cobleigh took a bath on Sunday
morning. On coming from the water
refreshed and strengthened, he put ON
his pants, and drew the s~uspenders over
his bare shoulders, and, taking his soiled
clothing in his arms, adjourned to the
bedroom. Here he deliberately loosened
those articles while he tucked in the
garments. Then he looked for his sus-
penders. He had carefully placed them
on a chair, you know-Aat chair right
at the foot of the bed-and he looked
there for them, as it was perfectly reas-
enable he should. They were not there,
however. Mr.. Cobleigh was surprised.
He stared very hard at the chair, and
tried m~anfully to keep down the rising
temper.
Then he looked inseYery corner Of the
room, and got down OH his knees, and
peered under the bed, and even looked
up at the ceiling, and out of the window.
He examined these localities, not be-
cause he expected to find the articles
there /; but Mr.. Cobleigh wished to show
the world that there was no intention
on his part to be unfair in the matter.
He had left those s~uspenders on that
chair, and as they were not gifted with
legs, some one had removed them. Mr..
CObleigh was so confident of this that he
deemed it prudent to strike the stand
with his fist, and tell what ought to be
done to the party who took the s1s-
penders.
This e did, and then called his wife.
She came at once. Mr., Cobleigh very
briefly relatedth the loss, because he hadn't
time to talk much, and then proceeded
to talk about nothing else.
Mrs. CObleigh carefully searched the
chair, while Mr.. Cobleigh stood by and
grated his teeth. Then she carefully
searched the room, which SO exasperated
him, as he had already made the search,
and had left the suspenders on the chair,
that he tartly inquired if she supposed
he had hidden the articles. Thisled her
to explain that she believed he had left
them somewhere else. ~
"Do you think I'd lie about a pair of
suspenders?n gasped he, as the awful
suspicion flashed upon him.
Mrs. Cobleigh was not prepared to
back up this proposition; perhaps she
did not considerita at all, butshe was con-
ident they had been mislaid, and said
so, while Mr.. Cobleigh, holding up his
garments, danced around in a very fu-
riOus manner.
Finally q compromise was made with
two strips of wooden cloth with holes at
Che ends, and the Cobleighs went to
church in no very happy state of mind.
AT night, when Mr.. CObleigh retired
and drew off his upper wardrobe for that
purpose, a vehement exclamation at
bEaGtedtae atteHtieH0 Gobfeigi,
who, looking apeRnas beheld a very
sheepish-looking maj trying to olsen
gage a pair OF ~suspenders from under

lady. "I-"
"Willy0u shut up, and guto bed ~

Living near Bloomington is u q
able old friend, William Ross. who. ac&
cording to his own account and the
family record, was born mt Guilford
Courthouse, North Carolina, Nav II,
1853 consequently is one hundred and
fifteen (t15) years old the nth Of last

Father Ross is in splendid health,
visits Bloomington frequently during
the pleasant weather of summer, kills
squirrels with his rife, chops wood,
works his own garden, and occasionally
follows the plDw, and says he feels as
young as he did a half century ago.
Father Ross was not in the Revolu-

the battle of Guilford Courthouse,
North Carolina, and makes no claim to
having been a member of the military
family of Gen. Washington, Or of even
having seeH'the General. He has voted

A CHEAP LIGHT.-To obtain light in
stantly without the use of. matches and
without the danger of setting things on
fire, take an oblong phial Of the whitest
and c~leaTest glass; put into tia piece of
phosphorus about the size OF pea, upon
which pour some olive oil, heated to the
boiling point, filing the phial aboutone
third full, and then seal the phial her
met1eally. To useit, remove the cork
and allow the airto enter the phial, and
then recOrk II. The whole empty space
in the bottle will then become luminous,
and the light obtained will be equal to
that of d lamp. AS soon as the light
grows weak Its power can be increased
by opening the plial and allowing a
fresh supply OF mir to enter. In winter
it lis sometimes necessary to heat the
pllial between the hands to increase the
fluidity OF thed0iI. Thus prepared the

FEEDING FOR M1LK.-The able editor
OF the dairy department in the Rural
New Yorker has an article on feeding
wheat bran and oil cake for producing
milk to be sent TO butter and cheese fac
tories from which We condense the fol
lowing statements
Bran and middlingsm make an excellent
feed for milch cows. Bran gives milk
of good favor, it increases the flow, and
is not liable to injure the animalaS some
other kinds of ground feed, like corn
meal. Among milk-farmers," or those
who have been long engaged in selling
milk forGity consumption, bran is very
highly BGteemed and appreciated but
the ordinary dairyman and farmer gen
erallyunder-Value its nntritiYe qualities.
The average composition of bran in
100 parts is as follows; Water, ID;
gluten, 1875; fatty matter, 8; husk, with
starch, 81; ash, rs.
On some farms, long employed inpro-
ducing milk for market or lin making
cheese, the soil has become so exhausted
of phosphates that the grass does not
supply d sufficient quantity of bone ma
terial for stock kept upon the premises,
and hence mich cows suffer from what
is known as "bone disease falling
down and being unable TO rise. This
disease prevailsiR certain parts OfsMeN
Hampshire, and as a remedy, bone meal
lis fed to the COWS to supply this element
lacking in the food. The grass lands. in
Chesire, England, have been so long en-
ployedind dairy farming thatthey require
manuring with bones, from time to time,
to keep up their fertility iii yielding
grass that is healthy and has all the ele-
ments ofnutrfti0n for stock. Now, bran
being suitable for food as well as for di-
rect manure, that portion Of the sub
stance Which is adapted forassimilati0n
into the frame of the animal becomes
useful as an article 0f nutrition, while
the remaining portion aOses none of it's
