the cry of fire, one little girl sat perfectly

said, "My father is fireman, and told me if
the school should be afre, would be far
safer to sit in my place until the rush was
over, and then get out quietly" She knew

ONE OF LIFE,S SHADOWS.

At eight o'clock the other morning wife
followed her husband down to the gate as he
was starting up town, and kindly said to him
civilian, you know how sadly I need a
blue bunting dress"
"Yes, DEAR" he remarked, "but you know
how hard up am. As soon as I can see
my way clear, you shall have the dress and
a new hat to boot. Be patient, be good, and
your reward shall be great"
Forty minutes after that he emerged from
a restaurant with big basket and fish
pole, bound up the river In the basket was
a chicken, pickles, cake, fruit, pie and a bot.
tie of liquid of rich color, and he was just
lighting twenty cent cigar when his wife
came along.
"What you here?" he exclaimed.
"Yes, I was going to the market. Where
are you going what's in that basket"
81 was going to carry this fish.pole around
to friend" he modestly answered.
"And that basket"
"This basket-well, I was going to take it
to the Orphan Asylum as present to the chill
dren. 1t is donation from six leading citi-
zens.".
civilian, don't believe it!''
"Sh Don't talk so loud!"
"William, shall talk louder yeti" she ex-
claimed. "Ill bet you are going fishing!
"Mary, have I ever deceived you p he
plaintively asked. ~ never have As a
proof of my sincerity, you can take this bas'
ket to the asylum yourself!'
"And I'll do it!' she promptly replied, as
she relieved him of it.
aMorv hadn't vou-p
"No, sir, I hadn't You'd better hurry
up with that fsh-pole, as the man may want
it, and be careful how you stand around in
the hot sunE'
She left him there. He watched her take
the car for home, and then he returned the
fsh.pole, and crossed the street and said to
an acquaintance:
"Tom, I am suffering with neuralgia, and
the excursion is off till next week. Too bad ;
but we can never tell what day may bring
forth"
There was chicken and pickles and other
good things on the table at dinner, but he
never smiled. Even when his wife wished
she was an orphan, if that was the way they
were fed, he never betrayed the gloom in his
heart. 1t was only when she handed him
the bottle he had so carefully tucked into
the basket, and he saw it labelled, good for
little children" that he said:
"Mary, it is an awful thing for wife to
get the impression that her husband is cold
blooded liar!" "It must be-" she replied, as
she took the other chicken leg.

WHAT CALEB THoUGHr.-A well.to-do res
ident of Annisquam, Mass, Captain W,
wished to employ Caleb to saw some wood, three
cords and half in all, and promised to pay
him fifty cents day. Caleb owned no saw,
but as the captain owned good one, it was
agreed that Caleb should hire it, and pay
for the use of it at the rate of nine
pence cord. At early dawn the next morn
ing-it was in July-Caleb was at work.
Those were the days of wide 6replaces, and
each log needed to be sawed but once. Be-
fore ght he had finished the job, and went
into Captain VS. house to settle. "Let's
see," said the captain, "you were to have tif-
ty cents day we'll call it day, though it
isn't sundown yet. That's fifty cents for you:
And you were to pay me ninepence cord
for the use of the saw theirs forty three and
three-quarters cents due me. [ say, Caleb,

leb looked dubious. He scratched his head
thoughtfully, but presently light seemed to
break in upon his mind, "How unfortnit,"'

RAISING CoLTs.-There is crude notion
prevailing that hardships make young stock
hardy. A colt that is weaned in the fall, as
is commonly the case, should not be allowed
to become poor in its first winter. 1t is true
that it will often improve so rapidly in spring
that its wretched condition during the winter
will seem really to have been an advantage
to it, but this is grave mistake lfthe same
condition were imposed during the whole pe'
riod of growth, the effect would be very per-
ceptible. Although the summer may in some
degree remove the effect of winter, no animal
so treated ever becomes what it mig ghta have
been in size, symmetry of form and useful
ness, by generous treatment l believe that
there is profit in breeding nice carriage and
draft horses. Asa general rule it costs no more
to raise good colt than poor one, while the
former will bring two or three times as L dch
as the latter. l have seen colts that were
kept in stable as dark as cellar. A dark
stable is poor place to keep a colt.-Ohao

AN ARKANSAS Cow.-Judge Grant was in
Little Rock, Ark, in attendance at the
United States court. One morning he saw q
farmer with slouch hat, and genuine but
ternut suit, trying to sell COW in the market
there. 1t was large, long-horned animal,
and the planter was informing man that
the COW would give four quarts of milk day,
and FIVE if fed we'll.
Up stepped the Judge.
"Whar do you ask for the cow"
"About $50. She'll give FIVE quarts of
milk if you feed her WE'LL" replied the plant
er, and he proceeded to describe her good
qualities.
Said the Judge:
81 have COWS on my farm, not much more
than half as big as your COW, which give
twenty to twenty-five quarts of milk day."
The planter eyed the Judge sharply for a
moment, as if trying to remember whether he
had ever seen him before or not, and then
asked:
"Stranger, where do you live n"
"My home is in Iowa."
"Yes, stranger, don't dispute it. There
was heaps of sogers from Iowa down here
during the war, and stranger, they was the
all iredest liars in the whole Yankee army.
Mebbe you mout be an officer in some of them
regiments ?"
The Judge slid for the courthouse.

The DEVILS FRU1T-Potatoes were first
Introduced at Moscow by Mr.. Rawland,
between eighty and ninety years ago. At
first people would neither plant nor touch
them, saying they were the devils fruit, CIV.
en- to him on complaining to God that he had
no fruit, when he was told to search the earth
for some, which he did, and found potatoes.
A curious Beckwicksbire legend, which, how
ever, is palpably anachronical, attributes the
introduction of potatoes into Scotland to that
famous wizard of the north, Sir Michael Scott.
The wizard and the devil being in partner
ship, took lease of farm on the Mertoun
estate, called Whitehouse. The wizard was to
manage the farm the devil managed the cap
ital. The produce was to be divided as fol-
lows: The first year, Sir Micbeal was to have
all that grew above the ground, and his part
ner all that grew below; the second year their
shares were just in the opposite way. His sa-
tanic majesty, as is usual in such cases, was
fairly over-reached in his bargain for the
wizard cunningly sowed all the land the first
year with wheat, and planted it with potatoes
the second so that the devil got nothing but
wheat stubble and potatoe tops; aud this
scourging rotation Sir Michael continued, un-
til he had not only beggared his partner,
but exhausted the soil. In spite of this le'
gend, however, we must continue to give
credit to Sir Walter Raleigh for having been
the introducer of potatoes into this country.
The first that tried them, we are told, fell In
to the very natural mistake of eating the ap-
Piles and disregarding the roots.-Ihe Agr'c''l-

No ENcoURAe eEMENT.-A brisk fight be-
tween two boys at the foot of Grlsworld street
yesterday, was interrupted by citizen, who
after releasing one Of them, made the other sit
down on salt barrel and be talked to.
"Now, then," he began, "it is terrible
thing for boy like you to be conducting in
this maner."
"I'd a licked him if you hadn't come up!"
walled the boy as he carefully wiped his
scratched nose.
Suppose you had. Do you want to be
considered dog? Why don't you try and
be good boy and get along peacefully with
everybody? Suppose you had rolled off the
wharf and been drowned"
"spose hadn't, too! 1t is the good boys
who get drowned?"
"Whatp
"It's so, and I kin prove it! I'll bet dol
lar agin a cent, that more Sunday.school boys
have been drowned this year than bad 'uns !"
The man reflected and did not dispute the
assertion.
"And more run over by the cars" contin-
ued the boy.
No answer again.
"And more of 'em got sick and died, and
I'll bet I've got more money and have more
peanuts than any good boy in this town."
"But the good are rewarded" quietly Oh.
served the man.
$50 are the bad" replied the boy. "I'll
bet make fifty cents before dark"
"But the good are respected"
$50 am l. I kin 60 up to the post-oAice
and borry three dollars 'thout any security,
and I'll bet you ten to five you can't! Come,
now-put up the lucre!"
"My boy" sadly observed the man, "you
must think of the future. Don't you want
to be looked up to and be respected when
you are man? ?"
That's too fur ahead" was the lonesome
reply. "If anybody thinks I'm going to be
called clothes-pin and wheel.barrow and
a hair brush by all the boys and not 60 for
'em, jist for the sake of lookin' like an angel
swhen git to be man, they is mistaken in

CARE OF YOUNG PIGs.-The prevalent
idea that young pigs should be kept constant
ly growing is good one. 1t is not best to
stuff pigs as full as they can hold, and espec-
ally those just weaned. Corn is altogether too
difficult to digest, for young pigs, and at most
should only be given in small proportions.
A great deal better plan is to feed milk, and
this sparingly, adding wheat bran scalded
(pigs like warm slop); this can be increased
as the pigs become accustomed to the change
of diet. The wheat bran and milk supply
pbosphates which build up the pigs frame,
while little corn will supply the fat-forming
material. At no time should pigs be starved
or stinted but it is important to remember
that they may be dwarfed by feeding too
much and too rich food, and with as bad re-
suits as feeding too little. Care is needed in
feeding any kind of young animals, and the
pig being especially piggsh in his greed, is
particularly liable to injury from eating too
heartily. you have any pigs that are scaly
now, give three small tesspoonfus Of sulphur
to each pig, in a little milk, for about two
weeks; keep them sheltered. | have tried it
with good results. Philadelphia Practical

SUBso111NG.-The object of subsoiling is to
loosen the soil beyond the reach Of the ordi-
nary plow, and in this way subject it to the
action of the air, allow the roots to 60 down
and the moisture to come up. If the subsoil
is a loose gravel, allowing free circulation
of air, there is no use for subsoil plow. If
it contains substances injurious to plants, the
first crop, at least, would probably be injured
by the loosening. If it is so wet that the
roots of the plant cannot 60 down into it,
it would not be worth while to subsoil it..
Well drained lands are most benefited by the
operation, and in nearly all cases pay we'll for
subsoiling. By subsoiling few burrows
and comparing the crop on them with that
of the rest Of the land, you can best deter
mine whether subsoiling will pay.

EcoNoMY-The French butcher separates
the bones from his steaks, and places them
where they slll do the most good. The
housewife orders just enough for each person,
and no more. If a chance visitor drops in,
somebody quietly retires, and the extra plate
is provided, but nothing extra by carelessness
of intention. When the pot was boiled, the
handful of charcoal in the little range is
extinguished, and waits for another time.
