. A Little Girl,s Temerity.

George Wells. wealthy citizen Of
Monona County, Iowa, lives next
door to a very high windmill. Mr..
Wells has a little eight-year-old
daughter, whose curiosity the mon
ster wind mill excited. She wanted
to get the nearest possible view of it,
SO she climbed and climbed, and
never thought how far above the
ground she was getting. That even
ing when her father came home from
journey to a neighboring town his
little pet daughter did not run out
to the gate TO meet him as usual,
and at this he wondered. He feared
something must be the matter with
her, but was not left long in doubt,
for q little musical voice which he
we'll knew came to him from afar,
and it seemed from on high. 1t was
as If an angel had spoken and the
father was almost afraid to look up
lest he should see his darling daugh-
ter floating away from him on angelic
wings. But he did look ia the direc-
tion of the sound, and. Co bis con-
sternation. beheld his little girl away
up on the side Of the windmill,
standing on a ladder just under the
vanes, and evidently at some loss
how TO get down. The top OF the
ladder looked not much wider than
the tines Of d table fork. and slip
would have occasioned her q fall Of
one hundred and twelve feet to the
ground. The huge vanes were re-
volving rapidly enough TO make one
dizzy, Just above her tiny head. The
father summoned al his presence Of
mind and treated the situation light
ly. He shouted to his child g Bravo"
to give her confidence. A CHEEKY
little ss Hurrah'' came down from
above, The father then shouted,
" Nellie, haven't you got it about
fixed?' "Oh yes, papa" came float
ing from the dizzy height. "Well,
then, come down, DEAR" The child
commenced the descent. 1t was D
critical moment. A few rounds of
the ladder made would give her con-
fldence. The father stood breathless
as nearly under his child as he could
get, thinking he might save her if
she we're 10 lose her grasp and foot
ing. She made it in safety. and ac-
knowledged she was just little bit
scared away up there towards heav-
en-, and nobody near to pull her In.
NeIlie's father and mother told her
never to go so near the windmill
again, and especially not TO make
herself a little tomboy by climbing
ladders.

A Strange Case.

III with typhoid fever, and when he
recovered, both hearing and speech
were totally lost. This terrible cas
lamity greatly oppressed him; but
at length he engaged in the business
Of copying records. A short time
ago he experienced a strange pres.
sure in his throat and a painful buzz
ing inD his head. Various applica.
tions were made, but failed 70 give
relief, and the pain became very se-
we're. During one OF those spasms
Of pain q discharge of matter from
the throat occurred, which caused
instant relief, and the young man
was at once able TO hear and speak.
The restoration was SO sudden and
complete that it was with difficulty
that he or his friends could realize
the fact. But IL was true after nine
months silence he was able TO talk
as glibly as ever.--ENchange.

THE SPRINGS.

Nowhere on this continent is there
a more perfect sanitarium. The God
of Nature has put down his ''seven.
Waived Laboratory" and within a ra-
dius of fifty yards there are seven of
the finest mineral springs in the
world, inviting the afflicted ones of
the earth to come and drink-not of
medicinal waters prepared by the
fallible and erring hand of man-but
of the health-restoring streams made
and mixed by the hand of the Great
Physician in Natures own Labora-
tory.
In the Scriptures "seven" is the
number that denotes completeness
perfection--so here at the foot Of
this grand old hill, nature declares
by these seven medicinal fountains
to all, whatever the disease, ability
to cleanse and heal.
And as Elisha stood in the door of
his tent and said to Naaman 60 wash
IS ''seven" times in Jordan and thou
shalt be cleansed of thy leprosy. so
the Prophet William is ever found
standing on the broad varands say
ing to all that have diseases ofblood
or skin, Rheumatism, ScrofuIa, Dys-
pepsia, &C.. &C., "go drink of our
seven springs and ye shall be
cured.''

Feed and Profit of Cows.
Jan. 2.

Walter Buck, of East Charleston. has
farm Of go acres that he bought six years
ago. 1t kept six cows, a yoke Of oxen, and
a horse. He has improved his meadows by
pulling stumps, thorough plowing, and gen.
eral good farming, and has now about SOW
enty-6ve acres in moving aud tillage. He
keeps 20 cows, Is sheep, yoke of oxeu, and
span of horses. This shows Improvement
very commendable.
His barns are old and cold, but he feeds
pretty well and sold butter in 1874 to the
amount of sll00 from 25 COWS. His past
ures in spring are good, but as summer comes
on the feed is short; then he feeds green
oats, then corn fodder, then from the starch
factory near by the pomace or refuse is saw
ed from the sieves, run into q box, drained
and shoveled into a cart, drawn upon the
feeding ground and put in piles of about a
bushel each, and pile for each COW. The
cows keep up the flow of milk we'll on this
pomace the month or more that starch max
ing continues. This is the FIRST time | ever
beard of this waste being fed. Could noi
farmers near other factories utilize this ref
use2 Next he feeds turnip tops quite freely
he raised $50 bushels this year on three
fourths Of an acre. After turnip tops are
gone the turnips are fed with hay and this
keeps up the flow of milk until well into
January when the COWS 60 dry. Mr.. Buck
does not feed his meadows much as it Injuries
the following crop. 1t is not his aim to see
how cheaply he can keep his cows, but with
the crops he raises he does not wish to stint
them single day. The income is very fair

for a large part of the way, the roads have
been abandoned about the country and paths
are made through the fields. We have been

ure which took us there, we were obliged TO

turn through the peltings Of another. We
had for the most part to break our own

You ask me to tell you about the markets
of Coaticook and Sherbrooke. Your Opin-
ion is that these markets control the prices Of
beef, &C., or that the establishment of one at
st. Johnsbury would bring beef down there,
but the law that regulO tes these matters is
that of supply and demand. When the
supply is in excess of demand then low pri.
ces rule, and when the demand exceeds the
supply or is we'll up to it, then high prices
are the rule. There has been in Canada
since the tariff was put on cattle, &C., larg-
er supply than was demanded and the ell
feet of abolishing the reciprocity treaty has
been to make beef cheaper here but since
l wrote you last it has received an upward
tendency and now quotes al 81 and So per

demand for it than formerly, The occasion
