LEFT HIS EVERY DAY HAT AT HOME
A few miles out from Providence, recent
ly, an old gentleman boarded an outward
bound train, and afIer satisfying himself
by numerous inquiries that he was all
right, sat down on the front seat and began
to read. He was evidently trying to enact
the experienced traveller without hav-
ing had experience enough 10 support his
pretensions. That he was extremely hard
of hearing, however, was more apparent.
There was one of those nomadic musical
geniuses aboard the train, who soon took
up his position Immediately behind him
and struggled through his programme,
from Zip Coon" TO "Casta Diva" on vi
olin none the more musical for the morn
ing fog, performance, by the way, of
which the old man was happily uncon-
scious. When he got through he pulled
off his populous looking hat and held 1t
expectantly before Rusticus, who, falling
to comprehend the situation, took it, and
looking it over carefully, returned 1t with
a negative shake of his head. The boy
mo destly explained, but his explanation,
like his music, was wholly inaudible, so
when he again presented it, the old gent
said, mildly but firmly: mo, sonny, it is
not mine; I LEFT my every day hat at
home" The boy skunk away, making
some casual remark in his native "lingo."

ELISE.

A secluded little village was that of Lea
hold, and situated in one of the most Sc
cluded country districts; primitive viii
lage, such as those that railways and tele-
graph stations are rapidly sweeping from
the face of the earth.
Strolling out of Leahold amid the clus-
ters of farms into the country, along a
shady road, you came upon Leahold Hall,
a commodious but unpretentious dwell
ing-place, most secluded of all, for it nest
led amid its towering trees and shrubs, as
If it did not want TO be seen by the world.
It had been a thorn in the sides Of the
this isolated dwelling, inasmuch as that,
with all their curiosity, they could not get
to know anything of the family inhablting
1t. Agentleman had come one day to Lea
hold, went over the place with the agent,
and purchased it. His name was Radnor.
Later he took possession with his sister,
Mrs. Courtney, a silent, naughty dame,
much like himself his daughter, then a
toddling wee child, and some respectable
old servants, who seemed as silent and re-
served as their master and mistress. More
than that Leahold could not get to know.
They heard of the Improvements and dec
orations made in the rooms, which work
men from a distance came TO execute they
saw the fine grand piano brought, the par
cells of books delivered once a month at
least; they watched the close carriage
drive out with its inmates daily; and that
was all. They seemed to have no friends !
two or three people who had ventured to
call upon them were received courteously,
but their visit las not returned. Twice
every year the gentleman rode away on
horseback to the country town, a long dis
tance. There he left his horse at the liv-
cry stables, took the train, and went steam
ing away somewhere. At a months end
he would come back again, pay for the
keep of his horse, mount him, and set of
on his tide home. Naturally all this was
exasperating TO lively public curiosity
but at the end of fifteen years the public
had become none the wiser.
The child, Elise, was the joy and care ol

As usual, Elise was going up stairs with a
cold good night, expecting him to turn i'm
TO the library but he put his arm around
her and drew her gently into The library,
too.
One long, long look he gave into her face,
and then he spoke.
"Elise, forgive mer'
"My husband ~ was the tremulous re-
ply; for heart answered TO heart.
"Oh, Elise, see all my baseness. Trust
me, love me, for my whole heart is yours"
Only lender caresses for answer; she
did not fear 10 kiss him now.
"But, Elise, how came you ne yer 10 sing
10 me2"
"You never asked me to-"
II had no idea you sang like this"
"Ailer rapa's death The piano was kept
closed, you know, and you-you never
since that asked me 10 open it,"
"You timid, self-depreclating child
Once more my darling wife, forgive mer'
"And-you-don't care mere for Miss
Lewis than for me, Leon ?" came the still
timid response.
"Miss Lewisl No, that 1 certainly do
nut IIISe' De dl ease, my love. M iSS
Lewis shall never trouble you or me
again."
A new era opened for Leon Huntingdon.
Slowly the crust OF selfshness melted be-
fore the sun of his wife's noble impulses.
The great brain began TO work for higher
aims, and as, in time, prayer was a guild
ing power, so the hearts of both, ennobled
and widened, sought larger fields for USE
full exertion, grander scope for talent and
energy.
And the heart that would have crept
away 10 bleed to death with lis own bitter
anguish, was made happy by proud trust
and pride in husbands talents-the ever
present joy of husbands love.
"But for you" said Elise to her aunt,
years later, "but for you, 1 should be a
lonely, forsaken, secluded wife, instead of
what am. shall thank you, Aunt Caro-
line, forever and forever."-From the ar

Look, your child lifts a wandering eye:
Jesus Of Nazeresh passes by.
o all you foolish ones, who feel
sudden doubt, like piercing steel,
When your dead hearts within you burn,
And conscience sighs. "Return, return"
Why let ye the sweet impulse feet,

Jesus Of Nazereth passing by7
He must not pass. Hold him secure

Take the time while time doth serve thee;
Creeping snails have weakest force,
Fly their fault lest thou repent thee;

Mingling the Milk of Different Cows

AT 4 recent meeting the dairymen,
one of the members gave some interest
ing details iii regard to experiments in
mingling the milk aud cream of differ
ent breeds. lie found that the mixed
milk from two breeds will not pro-
duce as much butter rs will the same
milk churned separately. The expla-
nation is in the variation of the size OF
the globules. When large globuled
milk and small globuled milk are
churned together, the large globules
separate first into butter, and the
breaking Of the smaller globules APP
pears 10 be retarded When, there
fore, Jersey COW is kept in an Ayr
shire or Dutch herd for the purpose OF
influencing the color of the butter. the
larger globules of the Jersey milk are
broken first in the churn, and, while
the smaller globules are being broken,
the butter which came first is being
over-churned. nd-theorctically at
least-the quality of the result is i'm
paired, if not the quantity lessened.
When few Ayrshire or Dutch cows
are kept in a herd OF Jerseys and the
milk churned together, both theoretic-
ally and practically, large portion of
the butter of the glCbuled milk is lett
in the buttermilk in state Of globulcs.
4 like application may be made to
herds of native or grade cows. Unless
there is uniformity within certain linn
its in the milk globulc, there is loss
of product. When uniformity is SO
seldom found in the external shapes of
a grade or native herd, it is not prob
able that any greater uniformity exists
between their functions.-NeW York
Herald.

influence of the Male in Breeding

The Kentucky Live Stock Record
gives its opinion oh this topic IS fol-
lows:
To improve the breed, the question
arises, whether the male or female
plays The greater part in the proposed
elevation of the herd. If breeder
wishes to perpcthate and impress The
good qualities, and remove the defects
of his breed, he must exercise the
greatest care liz the selection of the
bull aud his cows. \ single mistake
in the selection Of bull will stamp
qualities OH his herd that will take
wears TO eradicate. We believe the
same rules thai hold good in horses,
hold with increased power in cattle.
Although we believe the sire plays the
most important part, and has more in
fluence Oh the produce, the purity and
good qualities of the dam are at least
Of equal consideration as the sire.
In reference TO breeding horses, Gen.
Daumas, a French officer, addressed
himself 30 the Emir Abdel-Kader
This was his reply: The nobility of
The father is the most important. The
Arabs greatly prefer thc product of a
blood horse and common mare, to
the product of blood mare and of a
common stallion. They consider the
mother as having almost no influence
upon the qualities of her produce. She
is, they say, vase which receives q
deposit. and which retains il without
changing its nature. Nevertheless, if
race allies Itself with race, there is not
4 doubt that the produce is gold"
|, won't do TO depend solel: OH sires
TO improve the future condition OF our
horses or cattle; the mares and cows
must be good also. We do not here
speak of show cattle. running and trot-
ting horses merely; but taking more
extended view of !he subject, looking
to the great national advantage which
the country would derive from the inn
proyement of the breed Of cattle aud
horses for general purposes.
Ii will be found in breeding cattle,
horses, sheep or hogs, that The male
parent chiefly governs the production
of external character and structures,
and very naturally the contour and ac-
ton of the offspring, provided the male
be of superior or equally pure blood
with the female: If not, the result will
be uncertain.
In proof that the male parent governs
the external form and character of the
produce, we have only to look Mt the
cross between the jack and the mare,
and between the horse and jennei. In
the first case, tie produce resembles
the Jack most, in the latter, the horse.

What the Poor Farmer Can Afford

Farmers are often censurcd by those
having little experimental knowledge
of the farm, for neglecting certain la
bors and improvements designed to
add beauties or comforts to their
homes. Doubtless the majority of far
mcrs would willingly make such I'M
provcmen;s did their means justify
the outlay. The man of wealth need
not stop to count the cost; but the
farmer whose income is limited TO the
proceeds of his farm, must first decide
whether he can afford the expenditure.
The farmeris often accused of mean-
ness or lack of enterprise, for neglect
ing costly improvements that would
swallow up his farm halfa dozen times
over; but he has fortunately learned
to distrust such advice. 1t is folly to
suppose that the farmer of moderate
means can surround his home with
the most costly ornaments, or even
make such improvements as he might
desire. 1t is fortunate for the COM
munity that we have one class of citi-
zens who are willing 10 earn their lux
uries before they enjoy them. But
there are certain improvements which
the poorest farmer can afford, and
which he cannot afford to neglect.
lie can afford to thoroughly till, and
enrich his lands. He can afford TO
plant the best variety of seeds, and
keep and breed the best animals. He
can afford good. convenient tools and
employ good help. He can afford to
read and pay for good agricultural
books and papers. lie cannot afford
TO let his land become less productive
by tilling. He cannot afford TO grow
crops that will not pay for production,
or squandcr his resource by commence
ing labors that cannot be completen.
Governing himself by these simple ak
IONS he will soon find himself in po-
sition TO CRAFTY every desire instead
of being bound by the stern demands
Of economy.-KdnSas Spirit.
