A Frenchman Puzzled.

The English language is often puZ-
zle to foreigners, and sometimes drives
even an American hotel-keeper into a
corner, as, for instance, in the following
experience at the Fifth Avenue Hotel,
where a wealthy French guest came to
complain at the Office and was there
met by the gracious Griswold, who rose
to explain:
What for, sare, your garcon not pre-
sent my demand?n
Your demand, monsieur?'
"Yes sare; do l speak lnglis perfait,
sare? Do you comprehend me, sare?"
"Certainly, your English is perfectly
correct, my dear sir. What is it you
desire?n
IVY, sare, you tell me can have at
my private table wis my friens what
ever L desire to manger-pardon, to
eat.'
Certainly" said Griswold, "any-
thing; stewed doubloOns and diamond
sauce, if you wish"
"Ah, no, monsieur, zat is too richie.
simply desire some grice."
"Eh, some what?"
'Some grice, Monsieur Griswold
such as eat for my dinnyze ozer day"
"Ah, you mean rice, boiled rice.
Certainly, all the rice you desire"
NO sare, it is not rice. Eat is what
Eat premier MISUNDERSTANDING say
1t is a bird L want, sare; l want him
roast, not boil"
Roast grice-why, let me see," said
GrisWold, in dilemma, not wishing to
appear ignorant Of his guests meaning.
Il don't believe there is a single grice
in the market"
"Ah, you make mistake ven you say
single grice!"
''Indeed?"

"Quite correct" responded the host.
"Zen if one is re bird you call grouse,

"Why, not exactly" said the hotel
man, struggling to keep countenance;

"Yaas sare," said monsieur, trium-
phantly; land Wy not you say two hice

Since 1S40 the fastest steamships in
the Atlantic trade have increased thUil
speed from S.3 knots per hour to 1916
knots, and the consumption of fuel per
100 indicated horse power has been re-
duced from Al hundredweight to 1.9.
In 1877 there were 1S2 steamers of $751;
$50 tons in the service, OF which 125 of
ST ,905 tons were English. The record
of rapid passages since 1910 shows a
gradual reduction from IA days to Z,
and during the same time Sc steamers
have been lost with 5,430 lives. The
year 1873 was the most disastrous Of
any, vessels, with S29 lives being lost,
among them the Atlantic, with 545
lives. In 1854 the City of Glasgow,
with $50 lives, and the Arctic, with 800
lives were lost, making that year, the
next to 1878, the worst on record.

For occasional case hardening upon
a small scale, a very good box may b,
made by welding a plug into the end
Of piece of wrought-iron pipe, and
using a loose plug for the opposite end;
the loose plug will, OF course, require
to be fastened into its place with an
iron pin passing through it and the
pipe; it will require to be luted with
clay or loan; part of the plug must pro-
iect out of the pipe for the convenience
of pulling it out.

Gentlemen of the jury" said Tus-
carora lawyer, what kind of swear
ing has been done in this case? Here
we have physician, a man who, from
his high and noble calling, should be
regarded as one who would scorn to
stain his soul with perjury, OF be guilty
of giving utterance to an untruth.
But what did he testify, gentlemen? l
put the question to him plainly, as you
all heard, Where was this man stabbed?
And what was his reply? Unblushing-
ly, his features as cool and placid as
though cut from marble, he replied that
the man was stabbed about an inch and
half above the umbilicus, and yet we
have proved by three unimpeachable
witnesses that he was stabbed just be-
low the Young America hosting

During the sermon III the Baptist
Church at Grand Rapids, Mich, a few
Sundays ago, a fve-year- old child left
its seat, walked up to the pulpit, and
stood beside DR.. Graves, the pastor,
who inquired, ''What do you want, my
little MANI" "A glass of water" the
child replied. The minister poured out
a glass water, and the child drank it
and left the platform. The incident
created much amusement among the
congregation, which the child, in re-
turning to his eat, noticed, and think
ing the people were laughing at some
mistake of his, he made a bow to the
pastor, and said, Thank you, sir, and
took his seat.

Brood mares, cows, and heifers in
calf require from the demands on their
system feed of extra quality and nu-
tritive value. Whilst they should not
be kept fat, their condition ought to
De such as to stand the drafts upon
their vitality and endurance. Warm
and dry shelters should be furnished,
that they may escape from winter
storms. To permit them or young
growing animals to run down in condi-
ton during the winter is the worst kind
of management. They ought to be
kept growing all the time and thriving.

FODDER FOR Cows.

The following are the results aa1iW-
ed-at by the Mechlenburg Agricultur:
al Society, after series of experiments
in feeding fodder III it's natural state
and when cut by hay cutter:
First fodder is to be pre-
ferred because of the saving it effects
without detriment to the yield OF milk,
or weight, or general health OF the an
imal. Second This saving is due to
the whole fodder being better cheWed
and re-cheWed and mixed with saliva,
whereby it is turned to better account.
A distinguished veterinary surgeon
has shown, that when cut Up fine, a
considerable proportion OF the fodder
passes at once into the second stom-
ach and so is not re-chewed, and is
consequently only partially utilized
Third The decrease in the amount
eaten at first, observed when whole
fodder is used, is explained by the
greater demands that this makes upon
the unsatisfactory apparatus. This is es-
pecially noticeable in the older cows.
Learning, or the acquiring Of new hab-
its of any sort, becomes more difficult
as years advance, and learning to chew
is no exception to the rule. Hence it
is advisable to begin feeding whole
fodder while the cows are young.
Fourth The greater slimness of the
belly when whole fodder is given is ex-
planned by the more complete disinteg-
ration such food undergoes; none OF
the stems pass intact, and consequently
moGe or less hollow into the stomach
to d&stend it and put it on the stretch.
Fifth:-The increased desire to drink
is due to the increased employment OF
the saliva. SiXth-The general i'm
proveGnent in health and condition I'M
der THIS form of feeding is due to its
being more agreeable to nature.

THE WOOL MARKET.

The eastern wool markets appear to
be in a healthy condition, and the re
ceipts of western woods have been very
gratifying to our wooLgrowers. The
sales are also on the increase, reaching
nearly 100000 pounds of domestic,
and 91,onO pounds of foreign week be-
fore last, OF the Boston market the
Bulletin Of that city says.
The nominal price for Xxx Ohio wool
is now soc, but purchases could un-
doubtedly be effected at S5c, and, for
piles from which the light conditioned
wool has been CLEANED, possibly con-
siderably less. At Philadelphia there
has been sales of new West Virginia
Xxx at $50. The shutting-down move
ment among manufacturers continues,
and several mills have stopped this

Be TEMPER ATE.

Every one knows what q vast
amount of good is being done now
with temperance societies. Temples
Of Honor, Blue Ribbon societies, Red
Ribbon societies, and many others
which might be mentioned, are in
creasing and ought to increase in pow
Ell and might against such q great evil
as intemperance. But may not per-
son be Incorporate in more ways than
Ione? s.#.
We can look around on every hand
and see young men, smart, talented, ed
ucated, belonging to one Oh more of
these temperance orders, who are fear
fully Incorporate in the use Of lam
guage. This is one of the great evils.
They will say,-"What's the use Of q
man drinking liquor and making fool
of himself?" Yes, what Is the use?
But where's the sense Of q mans get
ting out Of temper and swearing great
oaths that are enough to frighten any
one, and oftentimes swearing in his or
binary conversation.
Should not this be classed under the
head of intemperance? 1t seems as il
people do not think enough about this
disgusting, wicked habit. Imagine q
sisters or mothers feelings on hearing
their brother OF son using the language
of profanity! The habit once formed
/ is hard to get rid of, but it can be
done, and / should think any one
could break this habit easier than that
Of drinking. I wish all who read this
and who swear, would try. Attic.
