Guernsey Cattle.

The importation and sale of this breed of
cattle is very rapidly on the increase.
They are continually obtaining large
numbers of new friends, who are very en-
thusiastic in their praises, and who all
agree in the statement, that in few years
they will have as great. if not greater
reputation than the celebrated Jerseys
For butter dairy, we do not hesitate to
highly recommend them; the color of their
butter being very rich, both in winter and
summer. Guernseys are considerably
larger than Jerseys their large size making
for them many friends their butter at the
same time is equally choice, but they are
not. however, as symmetrical in FORM
Skin is of rich yellow hue; head large
nose yellow or buff, as IL rule eyes banded
with same color; horns larger than the
Jerseys; color yellow or fawn, running to
the different shades of red. The improve
ed Guernsey of day is very different from
the coarse uncouth Guernsey of old times,
but in size, shape and color, with the ex-
ception of the pure white approaches near
err the Short Horn type than almost any
other breed. Another advantage they
possess over most dairy breeds is, that
when dried off they iatten quite rapidly
and proftably. 1t is also held that the
milk of Guernsey COW is richer, butter
made is of II more golden color, and that it
holds its color longer than any other dur
ing winter We are glad TO see the Guern-
sey breeders have formed themselves into
an association known as the "Gucrnscy
Cattle Club" for preserving the breed
in its purity, and the registration of pedi
grees.

Smuggling n Bad Boy.

Biiah's next visitor WAS a middle aged
mother, who came in with her son, a boy
of twelve. She had enticed him there by
telling him that the place was n bazaar of
fashion, and that she would buy him
shot gun with barrel full of gum drops.
He realized the deception as soon rs seat
ed, and loudly called out
II want that ere shot gun, or somebodyll

mother said

"You won't pinch him ?" she queried.

The lad declared he wouldn't, but three

that position of expectation assumed by

Bijah said:

yelled the boy, but when he tried to, his

feet lost their grip on the floor, and then
one of the new pine shingles had 4 tale to

Fingers and Forks.

We often laugh at the Chinese and their
chopsticks-or small, thin sticks of wood
or ivory with which they eat, and fancy
they must make very dirty work at their
meals; yet they are clearly and civilized
compared with the habits of our ancestors
some three hundred years ago. Then forks
were unknown. Each had his own knife
and at dinner seized the Joint and cut off
what he wished. The dish was then pass
ed on to the next, who did the same. The
knife then cut up the portions into small
pieces, which were put into the mouth by
the fingers OF the hand unoccupied by the
knife. In many parts of Spain, at present
drinking glasses, spoons and forks are rari-
ties; and in taverns in many countries, par
tlcularly in some towns in France, knives
are not placed on the table, because it is
expected that each person has one of his
own--a custom which the French seem to
have retained from the old Gauls: but, as
no person will any longer eat without forks.
landlords are obliged to furnish these, TO-
gether with plates and spoons. None of
the sovereigns of England had forks till
the reign of Henry VIII. All, hioh and
low, used their fingers Hence, in the royal
household there was a dignitary called the
ewry, who with set of subordinates. at
tended at the meals with basins, water and
towels. The office of the ewry survived
after forks came partially into fashion,
About the first royal parsonage who is
known to have had fork was Queen
Elizabeth but, although several were pre-
sented to her, it remains doubtful whether
she used them on ordinary OCCASIONS
Forks were employed only by the higher
classes in the middle of the seventeenth
century. About the period of the revolu-
ton 168S) few English noblemen had more
than dozen forks of silver, along with
few of iron or steel. At length, for general
use, steel forks became an article of manu-
facture at Sheffield. At first they had but
two prongs; and it was only in later times
that the three-pronged kind were made
AS late as the early part of the eighteenth
century e-forks-and we may add
knives-were kept on so small scale by
the country inns in Scotland, land perhaps
in some parts of England,) that it was GUS
tcmary for gentlemen travelling to carry
with them portable knife and fork in a
shagreen case. The general introduction
of silver forks into Great Britain is quite
recent. 1t can be dated no further back
than the termination of the French war in
1914.

This is dog.
Do you see the dog3
He looks as natural as life.
The dog is called by some mans most
faithful servant One or two instances have
been known where dog frightened away
thief or bit an agent. They have also
been known to bark at the moon, and thus
prevent it falling and dashing the earth to
pieces. If it wasn't for dogs we shouldn't
know what to do with our old oyster cans.
You can now ask any questions you desire.
"How large is a dog9"
"Well, that depends If he's running
away from you he looks about the size of
a gallon jug, but if he's coming at you he
looks as large as yearling calf"
"Do dogs guard the house ?"
"Yes, particularly the kitchen door,
Nothing hurts dogs feelings so much as
to have his master think he's waiting for
bones, instead of being there on guard"
"Can Il dog take hint? ?"
"Yes. AS soon as one sees farmer
coming across the fields with gun, he
knows that killing sheep is over for that
morning, and away he goes"
"Are dogs very strong2"
you'd think they could pull saw-log

will do between dusk and daybreak, but

ease and general Weakness
"Can dogs find their way home from long
distances ~
"It's according to the dog. If it'a one
you want to get rid of he can find his way
back home from California. If it's good
one he's apt to get lost if he goes round
the corner"
"Can dogs see in the dark ?"
"Some appear to, but instances are not
rare where dogs commanded to rush out
and devour the fellow hooking wood, have
rushed under the bed by mistake and stay
ed there. That's all about dogs."-Detroi

On Linden when the sun was low,

The boy kicked and bit and held out
for time, but the inevitable came at last
to stare him in the face, and he called
out
"Thats enough-I'll do better!"
"Boy, do you mean it ?" asked the old
man as his elbow ceased working.
"Yes, do !"
"You mean that you'll quit sassing your

her she exhibited the greatest amazement.

Gather mp the Fragments that Nothing
be Lost.

Gather mp the Fragments that Nothing
be Lost.
Fragment of what? OF wasted years,
Time lost, then sought through binding tears
Sought vainly-ours no more.
Halfnnishcd duties, broken prayers,
Sorrows and joys dreams and cares,
Memres of days of yore
Fragments of love, resisted pain,
Rough sheaves of mingled weeds and grain:
All these thou dost command
We seek for slowly, sadly, till
Yielding at last to Thy kind will
We lay within Thy hand
Our treasures; brought as children bring
Their toys; unwilling, wondering,
We struggle, yet obey
And Thou dost hide them from our sight,
Till we may see them in the light
OF Heavens golden day
Till patience perfect work is done
And Thou hast taken one by one
These fragments of the soul;
Then first we learn they are not lost,
But made, at Thine own bitter cost,
Into one perfect whole.
"Stir up our hearts, oh, Lord" we pray
And grant us strength that day by day
Through Faith we drink Life's cup,
Bitter or sweet it comes from thee
This we believe, and hopefully
Gather the fragments up
Trusting that when the day shall come
When Thou shalt call us to Thy home
With Thee for aye to dwell,
As closer still to Thee we cling
Thou may'st these broken fragments bring
And show us "All is well!'

In 1910 an English gentleman visited
this country and brought back an Ameri-
can axe and helyee which from the peculiar
curve of the handle and shape of the head
proved infinitely superior-to anything of
English manufacture. His son still has the
axe, which is serviceable, though, of course,
the handle has been renewed several times;
always on the model of the old one. When
it was first used carpenters and woodmen
came from distance of ten miles to inspect
it, and many times the owner was offered
ten times its price for it. indeed, one enthu-
sast tried to steal it. Nevertheless, so
tenacious is habit, to this day that venera-
BILE axe is the only one of it's kind in the
