SHE HAD TO SHoUT.-A few years since
there was Presbyterian minister at Colum-
bus, Miss, who had horror of shouting in
church, which fact was well known to his con.
gregation. One day after he had preached a
very spiritual sermon, an old lady was ob-
served to leave the church in very hasty
manner. Meeting her few days after, the
minister asked her why she had rushed from
the church so suddenly the Sunday before.
"Well," she responded, "the fact is, was so
filled with grace in listening to your sermon,
that found that could not contain myself,
so ran over to the Methodist church, across
the way, and shouted"

that one good COW gives all the milk that IS
needed in family of eight persons, and from
which COW was made $50 pounds of butter
last year, gives the following as his treat.
ment: "If you desire to get a large yield of
rich milk, give your COW, every day, water
slightly warm, slightly salted, in which bran
has been stirred at the rate of one quart to
two gallons of water. You will find, if you
have not tried this practice, that your cow
will give twenty-five per cent more milk i'm
mediately, under the effects of it, and she
will become so attached to the diet as to re-
fuse to drink clear water unless very thirsty /;
but this mess she will drink almost any time
and ask for mere. The amount of drink ne
cessary is an ordinary water pail full each
time, morning, noon and night
TREATMENT OF Cows.-A market-garden-
er had very fine cow that was milked week
after week by hired men. He observed that
the amount of butter he carried to market
weighed about pound more on each alter
nate week. He watched the men, and tried the
COW after they had finished milking; but al
ways found that there was no milk left in the
teats. He finally asked the Scotch girl who
took care of the milk if she could account for
the difference. "Why yes," she says. when
Jim miks he says to the old COW $50! my
pretty muley sol" But when Sam milks, he
hits her on the hip with the edge Of the pail,
and says: "H'ist, you old brute !"
CULTIVATION OF CANARY SEED.-With
the immense increase in consumption of ca.
nary seed it seems strange that no steps are
taken to grow it in our country. 1t is as
essily produced as wheat or oats, and yields
proli6cally. Forty or fifty bushels per acre
can be readily produced, and while it may
not be hardy plant, it will stand consldera'
BILE frost, and our seasons will give ample
time to plant and mature crop. A few
acres devoted to growing canary seed will re:
turn large profits, as it is now all imported
and pays duty. Some euterprising farmer
can set an example, and not only demonstrate
the fact but put money in his pocket.
INVALUABLE REMEDY.-This is the season
for cholera morbus, looseness and stomach
pains. Below is never-failing receipt tor
mixture, which, if taken in time, will afford
instant relief: Tincture opium, tincture cam
phor, tincture peppermint, tincture rhubarb
tincture capsicum. Equal quantities OF each
in a two ounce phial. Shake we'll before ia

An Old Berlin story.

The elders of the gossipy critics have
only to tax their memories trifle to
go backto the hilarious days of Mile.
Sontag and Baron Rossi. Theirs was a
love match provoking acres of broad
German grins and lots of scandal
1t was feast which the gossips of
1880 fully enjoyed and have never
forgotten. Henrietta Sontag was then
in the flower of her beauty of youth
and charm Of song. She had
long declared herself invulnerable
to the arrows Of Cupid, but size was hu-
man after all. Wherever she went it
was noted that Baron Rossi was at her
heels. If she arrived in Berlin by one
diligence the devoted Baron was sure to
arrive in the next. The same thing at
Hamburg, the same at Paris, the same
at st. Petersburg-until the Berlinese
made fun of poor Sontag by calling
her persistent follower Baron 'Montag.'
When loves secret began to leak out In
spite of fall precautions, and scandal took
the place of harmless jest, they linked
Lady Sunday and Baron Monday to-
gether, but 1t turned out that the parson
had Joined them in advance, SO that
all the calumniators and jokers on Sontag
were figuratively "knocked into the
middle of next week." Although nearly
half century has passed one will occa-

who will smile almost thoughtfully, as
he taps his snuff box and says, almost
sadly, "Nobody sings like Sontag, and

widow. and Widowers.

It is contrary to custom to invite
guests to the marriage of widow. If
a widower marries q young girl the
etiquette is the same as that of q first
marriage. Awidow must marry in the
morning early, without show, and has
only her witnesses and those of her in
tended. Her dress must be plain, of
quiet color. black, however, is not ad-
missbhe. On leaving chnrch the bride
invites to breakfast the witnesses who
have formed the party, but no other
guests are invited to the repast. On
the fifteenth day after the marriage
cards are sent bearing the new address
of the married pair. A widow never
makes wedding calls after remarrying.
Those who receive the cards do the
visiting. There is month allowed
for the return Of the cards and the
visits. When q single lady marries,
after having passed the usual age for
marriage, the ceremony should be
simple and unobtrusive.-Demorest's .

The Monster Cannon of the Dardanel.

While the Russians are strengthen
ing their works at Odessa with Krupp
guns, the Turks are, il seems, substi-
tuting the same modern weapons for
the big cannon which for ages have
watched the straits of the Dardenelles.
Bigger than the biggest "Woolwich
Infant" or the 100 ton gun of the Ital
ians, these ancient cannon still retain
their former position as giants of ord
nance, the calibre of the largest being
something like twenty-nine inches,
while, as our readers may remember.
that of the AnglO-Italian weapon is but
seventeen. According to one of the
best authorities on the subject, Major
General LEROY, r. A, the present Gov
ernOr of Bermuda, these monster can
non were cast as long ago as the 18th
and 10th centuries, and are fashioned
entirely of bronze. The cannon balls
provided are of stone, and far from be-
ing useless and unmanageable, as one
might well suppose such gigantic fire.
arms to be, they have, it appears, sew
erai times been made use of with con-
siderable effect. Some of the weapons
were employed against Scutaria, in AL
bania, by Mohammed H., in 147S. and
we are told that during the siege of
that place, from June % to July 81. no
fewer than 2,534 huge cannon balls
were hurled against the town.
AS General LEROY has remarked, in
his interesting history of these guns,
the supply of powder necessary to have
carried on such a terrible lombard
ment must have been immense, while
the quarrying and cutting of so many
monster stone projectiles is q task
scarcely to be realized in these days.
Travellers have given strange accounts
of the guns whose ugly black muzzles
are to be seen from the Straits, and
marvellous legends are told as to their
terrible might and distant range. But
it is very questionable whether they
could bowl shot for thousand yards,
even if the cannon were strong enough
to resist heavy charge. However,
they certainly did some damage to
fleet OF ours which forced the passage
of the Dardanelles in 1907. for on that
occasion eight vessels were struck and
nearly a hundred men killed and
wounded. This was the last time they
were used in action, and the replace
ment of them now by Krupp guns
shows that the Turks have no longer
any faith in the unwieldly giants. For
some years past their numbers on the
shore of the Dardanelles have been
growing less, and q little while ago
one was presented as specimen to the
British government. When Bishop
Pococke visited the spot in 1740 there
were, it seems, forty-two in all of these
huge weapons, and he quantity says of
them: ''They are always loaded with
stone ball, ready to sink any ship that
would offer to pass without coming to
anchor in order to be searched; they
fire likewise with ball in answer to any
ship that salutes the castle. AS this
does much damage when they fall. so

pay no remit London Daily Telegraph.

back to an apparently very insignifican
circumstance. The Queen Louisa spen
the two years from 1906 to 1s0s in Ko

Here she often rambled about with heI
children, giving motherly words ol
counsel, which would cultivate the
mind and heart and steel the character
One morning, as the Queen was about
to take her customary walk in the park,
a peasant-girl stood at the garden gate,
and offered her basket of Corn flowers
The Queen graciously accepted the
present, generally thanked the girl,
took with her the flowers, over whose
beautiful blue color the Princess Char
lotte, then ten years old, expressed fond
admiration, and went into the park.
When they had come to a resting place
the Princess attempted, under the
mothers direction, to weave a garland of
the Corn-Flowers; and so great was the
mothers joy over the success of the at
tempt that the usually pale cheeks of
the Princess flushed to a bright red. And,
when she pressed the completed wreath
on her beautiful hair, it was so becom-

the Queen must have been as she saw the
eyes of her children glisten over trifle
whose material value was scarcely wor-
thy of account.
The force of arms had brought mis-
fortune on misfortune to the dear
Fatherland. Who could have imag-
that the Princess, then adorned with
garland of wild flowers, would ever
wear the diadem of an Empress? Who
could have dreamed that the apparently
annihilated Prussia would extend its
protecting arm from cliff to sea, and
would exalt Louisa's son to mighty
power and honor as Emperor of United
But the Queen saw an Eden to arise
in the glad hearts of her children,
through innocent joy, out of which
springs of purest delight must flow.
With deep emotion she pressed her dear
ones to her heart, and the Corn-Flower,
which had given her so much pleasure,
became her fayorite flower, as also that
of her daughter Charlotte.
When Charlotte, twenty years later,
as Empress Of Russia, gladdened her

A Pleasing Manner.

A certain class of people confOnnd
culture of manner with insincerity,
and blunt rudeness with noble frank
ness. They admire frankness SO much
that they would lay no check upon 1t,
and even look upon efforts at self-cOn-
troll with suspicious eye. This, like
all extremes, has, with much error, a
kernel of truth. Manners are SO often
assumed to hide the real character, and
are 80 often at utter varience with the
heart that lies beneath them. that 1t is
not strange that blunt, out-spOken hon
esty should denounce them as channels
of hypocrisy and deceit. But though
this culture is often allied with dupli-
city, there is no necessary connection
between the two. On the contrary, it
may be an important element in the
motive. Many people really desire to
be what others only wish to seem. The
sincere man or woman who scorns to
cultivate manners will never reach the
full growth of which he or she is capa-
BILE. 1t is one of the laws of our being
that every inward disposition Is
strengthened by the outward express
sion which represents it. For example
an earnest person truly desires to cul-
tivate a generous and kindly spirit.
Insensibly he becomes more humane
and benignant in character. On the
other hand, we have known men whose
hearts were originally true and tender,
but who adopted gruff. cold, and re-
pellant manner, thus not only causing
pain and alienation in others, and also
bunting. their own susceptibilitles,
crushing out their sympathies, and
cooling their affections. Thus the
character is ever sensibly affected by
the manner. and no one whe desires to
elevate himself can afford to neglect
it. .-a--
