German Court Etiauette.

The following anecdote is told to shoM
the informal and domestic manners of
the Grown Princess of Germany and the
rigid etiquette of the German court :
One day, at ball in Potsdam, the Prin-
cess could not find the Prince, and.
meeting the Empress, asked where her
husband could possibly be. 81 do not
know where your husband u.s." said the
Empress, but can tell you where the
Crown Prince is" The Princess made
no reply, but soon afterward, seeing her
husband, she complained of the rebuke
she had received. The Prince bit his
lip, and, walking up to the Empress.
said, Mamma, will You be good enough
to tell me where my wife is?"

GEORGE SHAREHOLDER was exceedingl,

GEORGE SHAREHOLDER was exceedingly
superstitious, and probably weak
minded. He devised for himself pc
culiar religion, and tried to induce his
fellow-workmen in Cambridge Mass }
factory to believe in it. Four young
men thought they could get amusement
out of his peculiarities. One of them
took him aside and told him that $4,000
was buried in Longwood Cemetery, in
the grave of a man who had held re-
lgious views similar to his own. If he
should go to the place at certain mid
night, the joker continued, and repeat
part of his creed while kneeling on the
grave, the money would be given to him
and the mystery explained. Poor Star
becker mustered up sufficient courage
to do as directed. The four young men
wrapped themselves in sheets and filed
past him as he knelt. The fright was
very successful. Starbecker fell in fit
and has since been maniac.

ONE of the oldest requests ever
heard of is that made by Alexander
McGill, of Allegheny City, Pa, who
leaves $4,000 to the Democracy, pro-
vided there are no relatives in Ireland
after those in this country have had a
life use of it. The President is to be
the custodian of the money, if he is a
Democrat, but if not, it is to remain on
deposit until Democratic Chief Magis-
trate is inaugurated.

OUR YOUNG FOLKS.


A dear little girl on a winters day
Went out In the street for cheerful play
A dear little girl, named Laura.
The sky was bright and the air was keen,
And naughty Jack Frost, who couldn't be seen,
Was anxiously waiting for her.
As he seized her fingers and squeezed them tight,
Her very devoted adorer.
.How do you do!" again and again.
Till her fingers ached with funny pain,
And ready to scream was Laura.
BY every finger he held her fast;
But she managed TO shake him of at last
Clapping her hands together.
And then this naughty jackanapes goes
And pinches every one of her toes,
Spite of the good stout leather.
Oh then she hoped, and then how fleet
She hurried over the frozen street,
Filling the air with laughter,
As one by one her toes came back
ont of the reach of the naughty Jack,
Who still keeps following after.
He's here and there and everywhere.
Out of doors in the wintry air.
Behind. beside, before her;
And if he catches her standing still.
For a moment only. oh! how he will
Torment the poor little Laura.
He tries his best to get at her ears
He looks in her eyes till he brings the tears
Her cheeks are like apples mellow.

Oh then she was angry, very.
And, though she rubbed ii with all her might

Grew red AS an English cherry.

But as soon az she entered her nose grew worse -
Oh. don't you feel sorry for herr
And then at night, when she went to bed
She dreamed her nose was as big as her head

Celery Leaves for Cows.

A writer in an Australian paper states
that, in many districts of the colony, the
leaves of the celery are highly esteemed
as food for mich cows, and are often
preferred to red clover. The cows are
said to eat them most greedily, and to
yield on this food far sweeter and
richer milk than on any other. Some
times the leaves are cut up small,
scalded with hot water, and given as a
mash mixed with bran, and sometimes
they are given whole in their natural
state with the other ordinary food.

W ealth of Stock Owners.

The average number of cattle in Texas,
owned by individual stock raisers, is 500 to
$4,000 head, an interesting feature of the
business is that the wealthest cattle men to-
day are in South Texas-men like King, of
Live Oak county, who can command millions
of dollars-rose from nothing, and from the
most humble beginnings. King the cattle
king of Texas, began with few old cows,
after driving and acting the Cowboy for
somebody else. After several years his stock
had increased to such an extent that put him
on footing and an equality with his former
'bosses" and employers. He formerly resid-
ed near Corpus Christi, but now lives in Live
Oak, one of the widest counties of unsettled
Texas,
Is Rockport on the Gulf-a port that exports
annually vast numbers of stock from their
place to Havana and New Orleans-a trade
that increases every year and brings in vast
surplus of money to South Texas. In addi-
ton to this, Rockport exports large quantities
of packed beef, preserved by patent process,
and that goes chiefly and directly to Europe.
The packeries near Rockport, operated by
New York capital, slaughtered one hundred
beeves per day, and their business is on the
increase.
The present price of cattle on the hoof,
taking cows, steers and yearlings as they run,
is s. head. This is almost as moderate as
the figures for horses. Pretty fair horses,
adapted to the saddle or the wagon, but I'M
broke, can be had there for $12. The finest
Spanish pony. wild as the fleet gazelle, and
costing S. to break, can be had for $40; and
as no corn or fodder is necessary to keep a
horse in Texas, the succulent grass of the
prairies being to him more delicious than any
thing you can offer him, and the consequence
is everybody rides, and the unfortunate in
dividual who can't sport and own horse in
these wild parties ii indeed to be pittied.-

Magnitude of the Dairy Interest.

In an address before the Weastern Reserve
Dairy Association, by Mr.. Sherman Tracy.
some statistics are given, showing the amount
of capital invested in the dairy business in
the United States, which are rather start
ling exhibit to those who have never given
the subject thought In the year 1875 there
were 100000 cows used for dairy purposes,
which, valued at $45 per head, would repre-
sent capital of $450,0O0,O00. If it requires
three acres of land to support each cow, then
there must be 30,000,0 900 acres devoted to this
interest, which at low average cost of $50
an acre, represent capital of 5000, 100000.
Adding to this the capital invested in teams,
wagons and dairy implements, say 100000
600, the total investment would be $780,
100000 for this single industry. Compared
with the banking capital of the country, as
reported for 1877 by the Comptroller of the
Currency, the aggregated capital of the nat
ional banks exceeds by $3O.OOO,OOO only this
single item of cows, and the capital invested
in banks other than savings banks, is but Is
per cent. OF the Investment by dairymen in
lands. Adding to the amount invested in bank
ing the amount of all individual deposits in all
the banks of the country, other than savings
banks, the amount of banking capital and
deposits is 81, 100, 1884, $3.50, or less than 20 per
cent. greater than that invested in the dairy
business.

Weight of Milk.

A city dairyman writes that his COW, which
troubled him much to dry before calving, has
recently come in fresh and is given nearly
80 quarts of rich milk per day, which he finds
it takes good deal of time for measuring; SO
he proposes to make short cut by weighing,
if he can learn how much a quart of milk
should weigh. x. A. Willard, some months
since. stated on authority of Gain Borden,
that an average quart of milk at tempera-
ture of 60e would weigh, if we reccollect
Alright, fraction over 2.14 pounds to the
quart; but DR.. Sturtevant, in one of his pub
lie lectures, in which he urged farmers and
experimenters to drop the practice of report
ing milk bysmeasure, as quarts vary so much
that one never knows certainly how much a
COW gives by the measure sreports, and to
adopt the weighing system instead, give 2.15
pounds as his standard in practice, it being
more convenient to use than the exact frac-
ton, and near enough for all practical pur-
poses. Since that time the public generally
have adopted 2.15 pounds as the practical
measure for quart of milk, usually, howev-
er, weighed warm from the cow. So cow
which gives SO "a pounds milk in day is a
twenty-five quart cow; but such cows are
scarce. Few of us become very weary by the
slow process of measuring our milk, especial
ly when we have but one cow.-Ne,o Eng

Megsrs. Seth w. Fowe & Sons:
Gentlemen-Last spring my little daughter, aged
five, became very much emaciated with loss of
appetite and great prosration of strength so much
SO that we were obliged to take her out of school,
This continued through the Summer, and caused
much anxiety. After trying various remedies with
out deriving any benefit, our family physician
recommended the use of PERUVIAN SRRUP. After
using it one week we saw marked improvement in
the child's condition, and in a month she was
rapidly gaining in health and strength, her appetite
being excellent. At this date she is perfectly WELL
with round plump cheeks and healthy color, and is
again attending school regularly. L consider her
restoration to health entirely due to the PERUVIAN
SYRUP, and feel that cannot too highly recon-
mend it as a tonic.
Very gratefully yours.
