A Russian peasant was travelling in
a sleigh along the bank Of the Pruth
not long ago, and his wife and four
children were with hin. Suddenly
they we're pursued by pack of wolves
The peasant whipped his horses, but
soon prcceived that the wolves were
gaining upon him. When the hungry
beasts were on each side Of the sleigh
the worthy peasant seized his Youngest
child and threw in tho midst of his
pursuers, and while they were strug.
Cling over their prey he lashed his
horses and gained gronud. Four times
the wolves came up with the ingitives,
aud each time child was thrown to
them. At last the peasant and his
wife arrived at the nearest village,
leaving behind them the bones;of their
four children. The mother went be.
fore judge and made . complaint
against her husband for abandoning
his childrnd to the wolves. but the
peasant was acquitted on the ground
that he was trying 70 save his wifc'a
life. The old lady may have had mis-.
givings that if the village had been q
mile further on he would have pitched
her into the snow after the children ia

WASHINGTON'S INAUGURAL
PRAYER.

There came sunshiny day in April
1889, when George Washington, Presi
dent-elect Of the United States by the
unanimous voice Of the people, stood
on balcony in front of the Senate
Chamber in the old Federal Hall on
wall Street, to take the oath Of Office
An immense multitude filled the
streets, and the windows and roofs Of
the adjourning houses. Clad in q
suit of dark cloth of American manu-
facture, with hair powdered, and with
white silk stockings, silver shoe.buck.
les and steel-l,ilted dress sword, the
hero who had led the colonies to their
independence came modestly forward
to take up the burdens that peace had
brought. Profound silence fell upon
the multitude as Washington respond
ed solemnly to the reading Of the oath
OF Office, II swear help me God"
Then, amid cheers, tbs display of flags,
and the ringing of all the bells in the
city, our first President turned to face
the duties his countrymen had imposed
upon him. In sight of those who
would have made an idol of him.
Washinston's first act was to seek the
aid Of other strength than his own
In the calm sunshine Of that April
fragrant With the presence
Of seed time and the promise Of har-
vest, we leave him on his knees in old
St. Paul's, bowed with the simplicity
ofa child at the feet of the Supreme
Ruler Of the universe.-[Scribner.

Action Of Cold Upon Milk.

An abstract from a paper read be-
fore the French Academy of sciences
gives the results Of numerous expert
ments made by exposing milk to DIFF
ferent temperatures ranging from 800
Fahr. to 1902 Fair. The following
facts were elictcd:
l. The raise of cream is more ra :
pid as the tempcrture to which the
milk is exposed approaches 32e.
2. The volumn of cream is greater
when the milk has been efficiently
cool. d.
3. The yield of butter is also
greater when the milk has been ex-
posed to very low temperature.
4. Finally, the skinned milk, the
butter and the cheese, are Of better
quality when prepared under the above
circumstances
While it is impossible to offer a sat
isfactory explanation as to the reason
why artificial cold should produce a
beneficial effect upon the yield and
quality OF the products derived from
the milk, it is probable that it may
tend to arrest that Preventative de.
composition which is SO prone to set
in with organic fluids, aud thus, by
preventing incipient alteration, indi.
rectly to improve the quality Of the
material.

The largest woman in the world,
Mrs. Ruth Beaton alias Fanny Wal
lace, died at her residence in Vernon
county. Wis on Friday last, june lst.
She was 81 years old, seven feet four
inches in height, and weighed 585
pounds, and was known as the celebra-
ted American giantess. For many
years she had travelled with circuses
and became we'll known throughout
the country. Her coffin was made in
Brownsville and was seven feet eight
eight inches in length, three feet six
inches in depth, four feet wide at the
centre, twenty four inches at the head,
and twenty three inches at the foot.
It required eight men with block and
tackle to lower the remains into the
grave. She was kind. good neigh
Dor. . loving mother, and was beloved
BY oil who knew her. Knowing that
she inevitably must shuttle off the NOR.
tai coil, all the necessary preparations
were made, and she died surrounded
BY her family and many friends, hap
py, contented, With an unshaken be
llef in her adopted religion, which
was that Of an advsst CCaledonis

Balky Horses.

Some claim that baking Is the re-
suit OF improper education, but no one
who will carefully investigate the trou
bic can fail to believe that the disposi :
ton Of the animal has much to do with
it. IF a horse balks once and is whip
ed for it. the chances are that he will
balk again, and If this remedy is re-
pcated,y tried, the bad habit is con :
6rmed. In nine cases out Of ten, the
entire absence Of anything like whip,
or cross language, and the presence Of
anything which will give the animal a
new idea or take his attenti~n n from the
trouble, will usually cause him to start
promptly. In some cases, simply rails
ing one fore. foot until the horse starts
will answer the purpose; in others, a
string tied tightly around one ear will
produce the Same effect; a rag OF
bunch Of cotton stuffed into one ear,
a string tied tightly around the fore leg
q small rope tied around the root OF
the tail passed in front between the
fore legs and drawn tight. all seem to
have one and the same effect Of taking
the horses attention and diverting il
from baking. In many cases the
trouble is caused by nervousness on
the part Of the driver which is easily
communicated to the animal, and eau
be remedied BY allowing the animal to
stand quiet until the trouble is forgot
ten. In any case, the whip is the
worst remedy than can be tried, and
its improper use is probably tue mos'
prolific cause Of the difficulty.

Poaltry.for Profit.

Those who are intended to keep .
few fowls for producing eggs for the
family are often. puzsled to know
which Of the many varieties-each
having special claim to be acknowl.
edged faci2e princeps)-are the best
for all household purposes. It is ad.
mitted BY all the naturalists that eros
sed blood has more vitality than any
other; and since a large egg produc.
ing power is unquestionable the result
Of increased vitality, we have only to
introduce the cause, and then We may
expect the effect. I have pursued q
plan Of crossing for several years,
which l am we'll convinced is the only
plan by which large supply of eggs
can be expected. My plan has been
as follows;
In the spring purchase a bright,
healthy young cockerel Of pure blood
and of one Of the small breeds-such
as Leghorn, Hamburg, Game, or
Dorking. Put him with twelve to
twenty common or pure blooded hens
of the large brecds-Cocbin, Brahma,
etc.,-and with due care and attention
you will have chickens which will not
be excelled by any, either for eating or
laying. l am acquainted with large
number Of eminent poultriers in Mas
sachusetts who have tried this plan,
and every one of them pronounccs it
to be superior to any they have ever
tried for producing eggs. Fanciers,
Of course, would not sarifce their pure
bloods for more eggs but those to
whom a plentiful supply is an object
will not regret it, if they try this plan
If care is taken in the selection of the
stock, great beauty may be obtained
in the progeny. For example, brown
Leghorn cockerel with buff Cochin
hens, or white Dorking cockerel with
white Cochin hens. My own choice
is brown Leghorn cock with black
Cochin hens. The progeny from these
will have black bodies, from the hens,
and meek and comb from the male
bird but either of these crosses are
equally good if the distinctions l have
noted are observed.-CN. Y. Indepen.

Kansas Grasshopper.iaws.

The Kansas legislature has passed
two bills, which have nov become law,
relating to the destruction Of grasshop
pers (locusts), that are Of importance.
The first provides that the township
trustees, aud the mayors Of cities not
included in townships organizations,
shall issue orders to the road ovcrseers
of the differcn road districts within
their respective townships or cities to
warn out all able bodied males between
thu ..-.s vf WE'VE aud ns'y years "ie''
in their respective districts for the
purpose of destroying locusts or migTa.
tory insects.
1t then becomes the duty Of road
ovcrseers to so warn such Inhabitants,
giving notice Of implements necessary
to be used; the work to be performed
under the direction Of the oversecrs.
Persons 50 warned may pay one dollar
per day in lieu Of labor; but refusing
either to work or p,y, they may be
fined three dollars per day, such fines
to be expended by the road overseers
in the destruction of grasshoppers in
their respective road districts.
Road cverseers are authorized to
enter upon the premises Of any persons
lying within the township where such
order Of the township trustees is in
force, with q sufficient number Of
hand, and teams to perform such labor
as he may deem necessary for the pub
lie good.
The Secretary of the Board Of Ag-
riculturc is required Immediately to
compile in circular form all informa-
tion relating to the manner and means
heretofore used for the determination
Of grasshoppers, and send at least ten
copies of the same to each township
trustee in the state-r Prairie Farmer.

PEsrs OF THE FARM The common
black bird is generally condemned
pest, but many are inclined to think
them beneficial Many Of them have
lived on our place for years. After
close observations, I am forced to the
conclusion that they do vastly more
good than harm. They destroy many
grubs, worms, and other insects.
They follow the plow lndustriously,
and pick up all grnbs and worms ex.
posed by the plow and cultlvator.
They daily, early and late, examine
the gardens and fields 70. their favor
ite food, and they seldom, if ever, eat
any fruit. The only injury they have
done us is to pick the ripening corn
aud grain and even in this way they
haYe done very little harm. On the
whole, we hail them as co-workers
rather than pests.-C Rural World
