They were like golden threads spun out
Of sunbeams, and falling over her neck in
a shower of light. But the hair-dresser,
who lived few doors off, looked at Clar-
ices ourls with a business eye, and saw
that there was money TO he made out of
them.
"if you ever want them cut oil" said he
TO their little owner, "oome TO me, and I'll
give you louis for the whole bunch"
A louis is gold COIN worth nearly five
dollars
Clarice laughed and shook her head, for
she did not need the money, aud her curls
were like part of herself, too precious to be
spared.
In the same city of Lyons lived another
little French girl, who had neither curls
nor money, a child Clarice had never seen,
or even heard of. Her name was Marie
Lenor, and she was the daughter of poor
man who could get very little work on ac-
count of the hard times. His wife had
been sick all winter, and Marie, though
only twelve years old, had had the whole
care of the house, and of the two younger
children.
At last the father also fell i'll and then
what was to become of the family Poor
little Marie thought at once that she must
try and find some work she was not old
enough or strong enough for anything hard,
but light work She could do, if it were only
10 be had. Yet where TO obtain it Aud
while she was trying they would all starye.
Well, there were houses of charity, she
had heard, where food was given TO the
poor. 1t would be dreadful to go TO one of
these houses and ask help; but there was
not crumb of bread or a drop of soup; the
boys had finished everything, and now
wanted more; for two such hungry little
fellows could not live ON air. Her father
and mother seemed 10 care for nothing TO
eat, which was very lucky, Marie thought
but they both called out TO her from their
sick bed -
Yes, Marie it has really come to this;
you must 20 10 house of charity and tell
what pitiful plight we are in
She went but a man there, instead of
giving her some food, wrote her name in a
book, and told her to come back IN a day
or two, aud if he had learned by that time
that she really needed help, she should
have it,
o dear, couldn't he believe her now ?
Why must she wait 2
81 wonder il people can starye in two
days 2" thought She d" have feeling at
my heart that they can, and I'm not half as
hungry as the boys"
so the poor child went into the street
again, and for the first time in her life held
ont her little hand, saying family;
" Please give me a SOU"
Nobody heard her weak voice, or paid the
least attention TO her, till somebody @id,
roughly
"What are YOU doing here, you naughty
thingl Go away, or yon shall be reported
to the police"
She was frightened then, and ran home,
shiyering with the cold and crying bitterly.
When she mounted the stairs and
opened the door, her brothers sprang toward
her, exclaiming, Bread bread :"

the first, are neither synonymous" nor do

Sour MIN for Calves.


The question Of the suitability Of sour or
loppered milk for the feeding of calves, has
been much debated Of late. We have read
the discussions with interest, aud the CON
illusions we have reached from the testimony
given, in connection with our own ohserya-
iions, may be stated as follows;
F6s'-For raising veal calves, or for push
ing thoroughbred calves of the large breeds
10 their best growth, the use Of sour milk is
inadmissable, because Improbable.
Second-For raising heifer calves for the
dairy, milk loppercd (but not wheyed) may
he used with good results after the season is
so far advanced that the milk need not be
much warmed before feeding.
Thrd-But when loppered milk is thus
fed, after the cream is removed, its feeding
value is greatly improved by the addition Of
oat meal poridge TO every mess--say pint
Of pretty thick porridge in each feed, morn
Ing and night.

Under the above heading an agricultural
exchange at the " Hub prints the following
bit of smartuess
This question was answered at a recent English
Cooperative Congress by man who said be had
Thrown his whole soul into the consideration of
the labor question the last six years, and had
come to the conclusion that the capitalist was
only man who did not spend all he had got"
That man had learned more in six year than most
people do What terrible man capitalist is
to be sure'--f that Is all he is and is it not the
true definition? But all capitalists do not recog-
nze the right Of those who are not capitalists to
control their capitalists savings hence the fuss
in the iamily-of men.
The scholastic intellect of our contempt
mry evidently believes that here is the whole
question in nutshell, and that the disa-
greements between capital and labor can
thus be dissipated by Whit of scou. But
we fear the ghost will not "down at any
such incantation, but will continue To make
a fuss in the family OF men till it gets .
more intelligent dismissal.
A writer in Scrlucrs Monhiy, describing
" Some Experiments in Cooperation" opens
his article with little more respectful aud
phiosophic definition of the difference be-
tween a capitalist and laborer, lie says
People are divided into two classes those who
have labor 10 sell, and those who have money
10 sell Al men and women either sell the labor
Of their hands or brains for wages, or their money
for price, called interest They dig or write
keep house, sew, navigate sell goods, teach, guide
men or machinery for money or other considem-
ton, commonly called wages. These are the
workers The Others sell or lend their money for
dividendsor interest, aud they are capitalists, so
called, makes no difference that he brgor part
Of those rho lcorl for roges hare moro or less ea-
hd The distinction Of lenders and workers holds
equally good, and naturally divides the world
The workers without capital, represent n large
part of the people
The fact is that a man may easily be both
a capitalist and laborer and in his capac-
ity of capitalist, he may Cypress or wrong
another laborer, while, as a laborer, he may
be oppressed or wronged by another CAPT.
talist. This double capacity, possible to the
individual gives to clumsy thinkers, or TO
wiful muddlers of thought, chance to dar.
ken counsel by words without wisdom, after
the manner Of the writer first quoted. But
it does not alter the fact that the privileges
secured by prescription and law 10 the pos
SCISSORS of money may be, and are, used to
make the rich richer and the poor poorer ;
to lessen the plumber of workers who are
also small capitalists, aud to concentrate
vast stores Of capital in the hands of few,
to be used for the preparation aud perpetual
ton of abuses, that in time will become in
supportable, and lead to cruel and destruc-
tive mobs, riots aud civil war. Aud this
cannot be avoided 10y ignoring the trouble
with silly scorn, or trifing wit Ii that
were possible, the French revolution would
never have happened.

governors page No sooner did he hear the
yells and see the menacing actions of the
Indians than he was furious to get at them
In his struggles he drew the page along,
threw him on the ground, and then break
ing loose, plunged into the stream. The
Spaniarls called him back in vain. The
Indians, knowing his valor and exploits,
were glad of an opportunity to revenge them
selves. They showcrcd their arrows about
him as he swan, aud with such dextrous
aim that more than fifty struck him about
the head and shoulders, which were above

on, but had scarcely left the water when hc

guardian of the camp by night, and fierce
champion by day. lie was one Of a rare and
renowned race OF dogs, several of which were

A novel invention which is attracting
the attention Of several capitalists of New
York seems destined to change completely
the method Of creating electricity for the
practical purposes of life The new in
vention is machine in which extraordi-
nary quantities of electricity are generated
by causing a number of magnets to re-
volve rapidly in close proximity to each
other. The idea is not new, but the diff
Guilty in the past has been to create a
steady, even current with these machines,
the electricity being apt to flow from
them like stream OF sparks from an
emery wheel in detached discharges,
whereas a current smooth as beam of
light is alone good for anything. The
new machine has triumphed aud produces
just this result. 1T is the invention of j.
b. Fuller and j. n. Crandall. After hav-
ing been successfully tried over the wires
of the Atlantic and Pacific and Franklin
companies on Union Square, it has been
taken to the great Western Union build
ing on Broadway, and has been set to
work the wires Of the Gold and Stock
Telegraph company. The machine is
small and requires very slight motive pow
er. A few such would furnish all the
electricity now generated by the GO tons
of expensive batteries which now occupy
so large space in the Western Union
building on Broadway. One of these ma
chimes has been made to work an electric
light: and the inventors have contract
to put up ten of their lights in the Ex-
position grounds at Philadelphia. They
talk of displaying one of their electric
lights soon from a tower of the Brooklyn
bridge, where doubtless it would shine to
good advantage, for if there ever was a
community where light is needed, Brook
lyn is the place.
