RoLLICKING RArs.-Jack Marshall is re-
sponsible for the following as a dead cold fact
lie says that on Christmas night he heard his
dog Jack barking furiously, and the noise was
so continuous that he finally went out to the
shed where the dog was tied There he found
the dog with his chain pulled taut trying to
reach - rat which was about Ave inches beyond
his nose. The rat was squattsd on his hind
legs and actually ticking the dogs nose with
a straw. Several other rats were seated about
the first hugely enjoying the scene, and at
times squealing with laughter The dog was
frantic with rage, and his teeth were clashing
like the knives Of a moving machine Jack
saw all this through the crack of the door by the
light of the moon, which cams in through the
roof Of the shed When he entered the shed the
rats scampersd away but several times since
that they have annoyed the dog with the pes
tiferous straw.

PuB. Docs. APPEAL is building an e1-
tension in the rear of its Office for the purpose
of storing the public documents which come
to us daily from Congressman Daggett. These
documents consist of Congressional procsed
inss, Patent office and agricultural reports,
descriptions of mineral lands and United
States surveys. Mr.. Daggest takes frantic
delight in sending them over the c. P. and
u. Z. railroads under his frank The railroad
has Government contract to carry the U. S.
mail at SO much year, franked documents
and all included The APPEAL is always glad
to receive those documents because it reflects
that the transportation was at the expense Of
a swellsd monopoly. Persons who like the
sort of literature Afforded BY these publications
are invited TO come and help themselves.

not stingy in throwing provisions in his

front yard after few minutes she saw
the strange boy mixed mp With her
three or four children, and she called
out: fc t-

Seriousness.

One of the most deptessing signs OF
The times is the general aetsy Of seri-
ousness, which shows itself in many
ways-in conversation, in literature,
and in the occupations Of life. How
hard it is TO engage anybody In d 80
b;r and earnest conversational. People
like to talk well enough, and viii talk
without ceasing on tho most trihing
subject. They are ready to gossip, to
entertain each other with the small talk
of society, but it is rare in comparison
that we sit down with one who seems
to delight in conversation of a high
kind. The mass of deople do not even
think sefiously. They baye no con-
victions, and do not rare to have any,
even while life is go solemn and earn
est, and 30 swiftly passing away. They
do not care to think deeply about any
thug outside of their special line of
business. They avoid the trouble Of a
real intellectual grapple with any great
problem of life. They do not want to
be burdened with opinions which are
only formed as the result Of thought,
and which may compel them to some
positive actions or to sacrifice. They
would get their views as they get din
ners, where they can be had the easiest,
and take their creeds as they buy their
clothes, "ready made" and as easy to
put on. In politics, they 90 III PARTY:

A writer has Truly said that the

if you don't have anything else IN your
home, you must have a table or stand

light on it and few good books and
papers for your children" We do not
mean such trash as the New York Led
ger, and those kindred sheets, but We
mean good substantial reading. calcu-

intellect, and cultivate manners. Any
thing short of this unfit and injurious
to religious prosperity. There can be

Fekdinq Bran With Meal.

For winter feeding, where cattle are
kept in stalls and heavily fed, there is
no better divisor for corn meal than
wheat bran. It is also cheap, and fur
uishes what the corn meal Jacks.
When cattle are fed on corn meal as
the principal food for fattening. 1t is
apt to cloy if fed in to, large quanti-
ties, hence our best feeders are in tho
habit of using bfah as the cheapest and
best means of rendering the meal fed
more digestible In this each feeder
must use discretion as to the proper
quantity to be used One~quarter OF
the bulk of feed in bran to three-quar.
ters of corn meal may be taken as
good general rdle, to be varied accord
ing to circumstances. For workiag-
horses fed on cut>feed, this proportion
will also be fouud to be nearly Fight.
For horses doing fast work, oats fad
whole ale, OF course, the best possible
feed. In winter, for driving horses,
about one quarter the weight OF the
feed may be good sound corn, mixed
with the oats Where bran is cheap, IL
will be found a valuable adjunct for
dairy cows in the wipter, in conuec-
ton with corn meal. There will be
found as among the most valuable OF
any used. in proportion to the cost, for
making milk in winter.
That there is no longer donbt as to
the Value of corn, or its manufactured
product, corn meal, as among the very
best of the materials either for fattens
ing or for ANIMALS at work, we have the
evidence of most respectable authorities
both at home and abroad. Feeders in
all our large stables agree now pretty
generally as to the value Of Indian
corn, either in the grain or ground.
Feeders now generally agrea upon this:
and ESPECIALLY for working stock.
Nevertheless we shoald not lose sight OF
the valtie of bran. 1t should fnd q

or young things being raised for future
usefulness.

Almost, but Lost.

"Many years ago" says DIR. William
NJ. Taylor, "while we were ministering
to church in Liverpool. it was our
melancholy duty to 20 to the widow of
the first officer OF the Royal Charter,
and tell her. her husband was drowned.
The vessel had gons round the world in
safety. Her arrival at Queenstown had
been telegraphed, and the sailors wife
was sitting in the parlor with the table
spread in eager expectation OF her hus-
land, when we entered to say that he
had been drowned with more than four
hundred others in Mnfra Bay, only
two or three hours from the harbor. We
never saw such agony as that face de-
picted, when, grasping our hand in
hers, she cried with grief too deep
for tears, 30 near home, and yet
lost" .
But what eternal horror shall hang
about the doom of those who are mot
far from the kingdom of God" bnt
whose good desires and resolutions, and
determinations shall only end in disap-
and perdition at lastl Woe

Little Ears Hear.

Parents and other persons though
having at heart the good of children,
are very apt to be needless of what
they say in the presence of the
young ones, whose minds and hearts
catch the hue of every sentiment ex
pressed. They talk on, and the child
is seemingly engaged in its play, but
words and statements then made come
mp days after, when, perhaps, they have
forgotten the conversation, wonder-
fully fresh from the child's lips. Its
mind has been revolving what it heard,
for good or evil. Boys grow old too
fast by hearing men at their talk
among themselves. Saysa writer: eff
we stop to think how every word in the
presence of little child affects it's fu-
ture, for good or evil, we would be far
more considerate in our speech. 1t is
astonishing how, fot days children will
ponder over careless word or sentence
which no one supposed they had even
heard, and at some critical moment use
it themselves with startling and horrify:
ing effect. How an impatient, petu-
liant words shocks us, coming seconds
hand from those innocent lipsl Then,
alas! we see and deplore its real defor-
nifty, and realize h how patent is our in>
fluence over those observant innocents,
no, only at all times. but at every mo-
ment Of time in which they are IN our
presepce."
