HAG.CAPs.-As the time is not very far
distant to haying, l wish TO speak word
in favor of this useful article 10 the hay
maker. Until he has once used them, he
does not know the value of them, and
after once being used, never knew Il
farmer 10 discard them. They will save
their cost in short time, by protecting
the hay from dews and rains.
1t is for the health of the stock that they
DO provided with good hay and when one
uses hay-caps he can add greatly to the
value of his hay, after it is cut and cooked,
by protecting it from rain, as well rs heavy
dews. 1t often happens that shower
causes great deal of extra labor, and this
can be prevented, in measure, by cap
ping. Hay which is properly put up and
capped, will pass through quite long
storm and come out in very good condi-
ton. Caps are also very useful to place
over barley, or beans, while curing. They
should be one yard square, with pointed
stick about IA inches long, tied on at each
corner. These are to tuck into the hay, to
prevent the wind from blowing them off.
A waterproof coating should also be APP
piled to them. The following is a good
and cheap dressing and one it is said that
will not crack: In one-half gallon oil
boiled linseed oil stir two ounces of soft
soap; apply with a brush to one side only,
two or three coats. F. II. d.

There are many troubles which must be
endured by the sustaining help of patient
fortitude. They come sooner or later, in
one or another shape, to all. Among them
are such things us loss of fortune, unto
ward circumstances, blighted hopes, de-
feated plans, bereavement. the narrowing
interests, and the loneliness of later years.
These mingle with and are interviewer
with the brighter, more joyous experiences
of humanity, and together the darkness
and light are blended in the personal his
tory of every member of the race. But
there is Il set of annoying and vexatous
things, which most people make merit of
bearing serenely. yet which should simply
be set asi lie and lifted out of the way.
There is no credit due to anybody for exer
cising patience where firmness and
strength of will would have made It un
necessary.

4 BEAUTIFUL WOMAN.


In a little white house on hillside green,
lives a beautiful woman as ever was seen;
In the sixty-1ye years that she's lived, may say
She's been growing more beautiful every day
You do not believe 1t? Ask Susie, my sister,
She's the very first person that ever had kissed hel'
And if she'd not nursed her by night and by Day
Poor Sue would have been in very bad way
| can bring other witnesses whom you may iace'
They will tell you the same-they were in The same
case.
Has she lovers?' Yes, surely No less than
eleven!
She has seven on earth and four more up in heav-
en-.
Her hair is so beautilul-faded and thin,
There are beautiful wrinkles, from forehead 10
chin.
Her eyes are as charming as chlrming can be-
When she looks DER her glasses so fOndly at me,
And know by her life, which has beautiful BEEN
She is like " the kings daughter ~" all glorious
within"
All, you've guessed who it is! 1t could be no Other
Pm sure than my beautiful, darling old mother.

The LIoNEss AND THE TERRIER.-In
Dublin, which, you know, is one of the
great cities of Ireland. there are gardens
where all kinds of wild animals are kept
for show. These are called Geological
Gardens. Our word Zo-Ology comes from
the Greek words, coon, an animal, and 10
COS, discourse; SO that Zoology means
that part of natural history which treats of
animals.
In these Dublin Gardens there was a
ioness that went by the name of Old Girl.
She was born in the gardens in 1859, and
died there at the age of sixteen years "a
pretty old age for lioness), after having
reared fifty cubs. She was loness of
very high spirit, though quite gentle; and
good Judges said she was the handsomest
one they had ever seen.
These flesh eating beasts. when in
health, have no objection to the presence
of rats in their cages; on the contrary,
they rather welcome them us q relief to
that sameness of life which is the chief
trial of wild animal in confinement.
| But in illness the case is different, for the
ungratelul rats, not content with sharing
the lions food, then began to nibble the
toes Of the helpless lord of the forest, much
| to her discomfort.
TO save Old Girl from this vexation, the
keepers placed in her cage Il fine little ter
rier. He was ut first received with sulky
growl from Old Girl; but when the first
rat appeared, and she saw the little terrier
toss him into the air and catch him across
the loins with snap when he came down,
| she understood what the terrier was for

Now the industrious potato bug" with
long Latin name and stripes like the

the young plant nest for his chickens to

watched him to see where he planted the

A Joke That Missed Fire.

Cooley's Oldest boy is little too fond
of playing practicle jokes. The other
evening, be went up into the third story
back room. in which the hired man sleeps.
and fixing piece Of stout twine to the
bed clothes, he ran it down stairs into his
own room, with the intent to remove the
cover from the hired man as soon as that
individual got into bed.
The Cooley had just taken down their
winter stove, and they had the parlor stove
standing temporarily at the head of the
third story stairs.
The man discovered the string Just rs
he was retiring, and comprehending the
motive of the intended trick. he quietly
united it, and fastened it to the stove.
The boy, meantime, had gone to bed,
and forgotten about the string. But
ABOUT 10 O'Clock, Mr.. Cooley, who was up
stairs getting apples in the garret, caught
his foot in the string as he was coming
down the steps. ...,
He fell, and pulled the stove after
him, and the next moment, Cooley, a pal,
of apples, and about forty pieces of
stove-pipe, aud brick lining were rattling
down stairs with q noise like volley OF
musketry.

pile Of apples and cast iron heaped upon
him, Mrs. Cooley, and the boy and the
