Notwithstanding this condition of the poreine
product the fact is obvious that the packers in
Chicago and other great Western receiving

Greenland COurtShip.

When the Danish missionaries
had secured the confidence Of the
GreenlanderS, marriage was made
a religious ceremony. Formerly
the man married the woman, az
the Romans did the Sabine women,
by force. One Of the missionaries,
writing in his journal. describes the
style of Christian cOurtShip as fol-
lows:
The suitor, coming to the mis-
sionarv, said. Il should like to
have IA wife"
whom :" asks the missionary.
The man names the woman.
"Hast thou spoken to her
Sometimes the man Will answer,
eyes: she is not unwilling, but
thou knowest womankind.
More frequently the answer IS,
'sNo."
"Why not:
at is difficult !; girls are pru-
dish. Thou must speak to her.
The missionary summons the
girls, and after a little CONVERSE
ton, says
Il think it is time to have thee
married"
Il won't marry.
"What Il pity. | had a sutton
for thee"
Whom ?" The mi sionary
names the man who has sought his
aid.
'.He is good for nothing. |
won't have him"
But" replies the missionary,
she is a good proyider he throws
his harpoon with skill and he
loves thee"
Though listening to his praise
with evident pleasure, the girl
answers, Il won't marry. | won't
have him."
"'Well, III not force thee. |
shall soon find il wife for such a
clever fellow.
The,.missionary remains silent. as
though he understood her mo
to have decided the matter.
At last with Il sigh, she whispers,
"Just as thou wilt have it, mission
ary."
NO." replies the clergyman, "as
thou wilt ; I'll not persuade thee
Then with a deep groan comes a
"les," and the matter is settled.

Beavers Beat a Smart Man

b nayers are good engineers /; they
build dams which resist mountain
torrents. They are also practical
woodchoppers they choose the
best tee for thcir purpose, and fell
it to the exact spot required.
They are also smart In outwitting
smart men, as the following anec-
dote, told by an army officer who
vouches for 1t from his personal
knowledge, shows
A party of miners dug a ditch,
five miles long, to Il pool pre-
empted by beavers. The use of
the water for gold-washing lowered
by several inches the surface of the
pool. This the beavers did not
like, and therefore SO damned the
ditch us to stop the towing # the
water into it. The miners opened
it again, but the next night the
beavers re-dammed it. A guard
was placed at the pool, but as a
mans time was valuable, d smart
miner undertook to outwit the
beavers.
Out of a pair of o~veralls, an old
red shirt, IA CONDEMNED hat and "a
flour sack, the smart miner, made
Il dummy-man. Two heavy stones
served as its feet, and propped by
a stake, it stood astride of the
ditch, brandishing "a club, and
threatening any beaver who might
approach.
But the next day the water again
stopped. The smart man started
for the pool. He found the
dummy had been pulled over,
floated down the ditch IL little way.
and stuffed into its narrowest part,
and all creyices stopped with mud.
He returned c~restfallen, and was
known as the mn outsmarted by
the beavers.

Controlling the Sex.

G.. S. Harrison, of Nebraska,
sends the following observations to
the National Lire Stock JourUM
A few years ago | purchased a
thoroughbred Short-Horn, and
also a pure Jersey bull. With this
last | was anxious to secure as
many heifers as possible. | had
twenty or thirty heifers, 80 | told
the nerder that us soon as there
was the least indication of heat to
have the heifers served. This was
done with both bulls. | was often
present and attended to matters
myself. As the result from the
jersey, | had n heifer to twelve
bulls with the Short-Horn there
were two heifers to twelve bulls.
The next year we let the COWS run
longer before serving, and as calves
appeared we found nine heifers 20
one bull-about the same proper
ton with Jerseys and Short-Horns.
From this | concluded that the
theory of the servants, that early
service produces females, is hum
bug. Another prevailing idea Is
