TRUE HOSPITALITY of the home is
never loudly and noisily demonstrative.
It never overwhelms you with its greet
ing, though you have not doubt of its
perfect sincerity. You are not disturb
ed by the creaking of the domestic
machinery, suddenly driven at unwont-
ed speed for your accommodation.
Quietly it does its work, that it may
put you in peacable possession of its
results, He is not the true host, she is
not the best hostess, who is ever going
10 and fro with hurried action, and
hurried manner, and heated counte-
nance, as if to say, "See how hospitable
can be :" but rather the one who takes
your coming with quiet dignity and
painstaking who never OBJ
;rudes attention, yet is very attentive
all the while; who makes You, in one
vord-the most expressive word in the
English topgue-to be at home. There
IS no richer, deeper, larger hospitality
han that
FARMERS and dairymen have from
lime immemorial imagined they knew
,attle disease called "horn all" or
g hollow horn" Prof. Greasy now tells
hem it is an old wives fable. The pro-
essor has cut open innumerable horns
md found them all hollow. He tells
he cow-doctors there is no such disease
,s "hollow-horn." The cure practiced
8 to bore into the horn and inject some
.emedy. This is generally followed by
bleeding at the nose, which is supposed
% be q symptom of the disease and a
,ign that the remedy is becoming effect
We. The professor proves by cattle
,kulls that the nasal passages are nor
nally connected with the hollows In
he horns, and this accounts for the
boring and the internal application OF
he remedy. Horned cattle generally
will be glad to hear that the surgery OF
he gimlet is not necessary to their
health, as scarcely any of them ever got
through life without being horribly
,ored.
