A Lost Child.

A ball was given at Camptonville,
Yuba County, Cal, on New Years Eve,
which was attended by certain lady
who resides some distance from that
place. She had q baby that could not
be left at home. Arriving at Campton-
vile early in the evening with her baby,
she put up at the Globe Hotel, kept by
one Jones. She told Jones she was de-
sirous of attending the ball if she could
find some one who would take care of
her baby. Jones, being an accommo-
dating fellow, proposed that he would
father" the "young 'un" ad interim.
The lady accepted the offer with joy,
and, putting the babe to sleep, laid it
down gently ON Jones' bed, and then
went to the ball. Up to midnight Jones
made frequent visits to the room to at
tend to the wants of his precious charge.
From that hour the babe, so far as Jones
or its mother was concerned, was left
alone, for Jones fell a victim to sleep.
1t happened, however, that q stage
driver was asleep in room nearly oppo-
site to the one occupied by the babe
About one o'clock a. m, says ithe North
San Juan Times, the babe began to cry
fearfully, and to appease it the stage
driver took it to his own bed and kept it
quiet the remainder of the night. He
was up and off by ay-break, before the
mother had returned from the ball, and
before anyone was stirring in the house,
leaving the babe fast asleep in his own
bed. An hour later the ball broke up,
and the mother returned to the hotel.
She went straight to Jones' room to see
her babe. Lo and behold it wasn't
there, neither was Jones. Soon the
whole house was in an uproar and search
was made for the missing babe; but all
in vain. In the meantime the whole
town was startled by the information
that child had been stolen and carried
away. Finally it was remembered that
the stage. driver had slept in the house
that night and that possibly he might
know something about the missing child.
He was telegraphed to on the subject at
Downieville and in the course Of few
minutes a reply was received from
him, which read as follows: frank
Ramppin-You will find the child in my
bed at the hotel" On the reception of
this telegram the mother rushed up fran
tically to the stage-driver's room and
found her precious babe lying in his bed,
fast asleen

WIntering Farm Horses.

have noticed for some years that farm
horses have had a hard time during the
winter months, not because of work but
of,the want Of care. Farm horses wear
out as fast if net faster than horses that
work during the year. Now there is q
cause for all this. In the first place
horses that have been in the open air and
sunshine should have these hygienic in.
fluences all of the time, and horses that
have been in active exercise should still
be allowed ample room and opportunity
for what exercise nature requires. Then
again horses that have been fed high
should by all means have enough feed to
so recruit them that they will look sleek
and have fat enough to keep them warm.
Therefore when horses have accom-
plished the work of the season and are to
rest for some weeks or months to come
the first thing 10 be done is to have the
shoes taken off, then give them their reg
uiar feed for few days at least, that is,
till they look fresh and their eyes look
bright, and they show signs of good rich
blood in their vel us; then drop the noon
feed of grain and go on for time with
two feeds per day, and then leave off the
morning feed OF grain and finally drop
the feed of grain at night; still would
never let horse stand and paw or ask
for food at night, for it is loss rather
than a gain to try and cheat horse out
of his honest living.
As the noon feed is withdrawn give
some green food, say potatoes, carrots
or turnips, but would limit the roots to
a fourth or half peck for a few days,
then give once, twice or thrice week as
the case may be. By all means give
plenty of hay and good, fresh, pure
water, with salt as they may require.
Now as to exercise, after the horse has
eaten his morning meal turn him loose
in good, large yard and let him remain
till noon; after The noon feed turn him
out again until night, then put him up
and feed for the night; of course stormy
days should keep him in the stable. If
horses are kept at work part OF the time
keep the shoes ON and feed according to
the work, but by all means give the yard
exercise whenever he is let up from
work.-Massachusetts Ploughman.

The Cincinnati ENQUIRER saws that

The Cincinnati Enquirer saws that a
family in the suburbs Of that city having
lost little girl had her body embalmed
and retained in the house, hearse hav-
ing been employed to be driven from the
door that the neighbors' apprehensions
might be quieted by believing that the
funeral had taken place. The Enquirer
says: "The body, when embalmed, was
clothed in its accustomed garments and
laid away. Daily the grief-stricken par
ents pay visits to the resting-place of
their little one. where she appears as
fresh as when the breath first left her
body, and where none but the chosen
few of their immediate relatives are per-
mitted to share with them the view of
the little sleeper. 1t may be added that
the presence of the body in the house,
although perfectly free from any
thing unpleasant, has so worn upon the
health of the mother that the father has
felt necessity for its removal, but his
wife still clings to it and begs them to
let it remain"

tateQ.
To understand the action of snow and
ice in the economy of nature it is neces-
sary to understand their constituent
parts Snow is the condensed vapor of
the earth precipitated to the earth in a
frozen form. Snow, then, is the effect of
frost acting on the vapor in the air. On
the other hand, ice is frozen water, and
when the temperature of the air is re-
duced to thirty-two degrees water will
no longer remain in fluid state. When
the frost lays hold of newly. broken soil,
for instance, the water that is absorbed
by it during warm, moist weather ex-
pands by the action of the frost; the par
ticles of the earth are thereby thrust
apart from each other, leaving vacuum
between them. These openings in the
soil let in air, dew, rain and many gases
favorable to vegetation, and, more or less
of eertilizing deposits being thus made,
the soil becomes invigorated and en-
riched, and strength Is impaired to the
young crops subsequently. Nor is this
all, for when thaw sets in and the ice
Of the clouds dissolves, the particles of
the earth thrust apart by the action of
the frost, being left unsupported, tumble
into minute parts as soon as the binding
cement of ice is dissolved. Thus a dis
migrating process is wrought, and the
beneficial influence Of this on heavy, stiff
soils cannot be over. estimated. The fall
ing rain can more readily penetrate the
soil, and the peculiar composition
of water makes it 7 very i'm
portant circumstance to vegetable life.

there that she had retired. He was .tyd

eemblance between the flowers and
Deacon Osgood's "help," for she was
white and dropping like lily, and they
were in fulk rich bloom; but she was
pure like them, and sweet like their
breath, and they made him think of her.
With the thought of her came a memory
OF what his old aunt said to him the
night before he came to Lynton.
hudson, "she said In her broad English,
" you're going away with the grace Of God
In your heart; you've got the old RidEeiy
muscle, and the marrow Of the spirit is
In your bones, and your feet are we'll
shod, but you lack one thing, you need

complete. You'll find it out some dav.
and when you do. follow the headings Of
your heart. You've got an honest
Ridgely heart, my boy, and it'll not lead
yor amiss."
Why did the roses make him think of
Melissa? Why did the thought of her
bring his aunt's words to his mind? He
certainly could not have loved her when
he had only spoken to her once, did you
say! No, l suppose not. I believe it
isn't called love in the beginning.
johnnie and the minister became very
intimate after that night. Johnnie liked
him because he had once been little
boy, and he often went to the widows to
visit him. He told him about Melissa's
crying the night he was at their house to
tea, and he also told him that she had q
lot of books in her bedroom that used to
belong TO her father-he guessed there
was as many as 500, altogether.
One day the minister plucked two or
three p0sies, a rose and a few geranium
leaves from the widows flower-bed, and
sent the wee bouquet to Melissa by John
ME. Johnnie told him the next day that
she kissed it after she thought he was
out of the room, but he peeped through
q crack in the door, and saw her do it.
He went to the Deacon's often after that
but he never could get a chance TO talk
to her alone.
One night, when none of the family
was to prayer-meeting but her and the
Deacon, he undertook to 90 home with
