A Birds Singular Death.

A LADY who lives on Olive street re-
lates the following: A few days ago
there fell in front Of her window from
q tree ''chippy," or ground bird, such
as chatter about the parks and streets.
She picked it up and carried it in the
house, fed it from her own mouth, and
at night placed it in the cage with her
canary. The canary at once bestowed
upon the newcomer all of the attention
of q mother. and nestled beside the lit
tie stranger during the night. In the
morning the lady placed the chippy in
the window 80 that it might have the
privilege of regaining its freedom. 1t
plumed its tiny wings and went away.
The canary m0urned during the day as
if he had lost his mate In the even
ing the chippy came back and perched
upon the window. The sash was raised
and it flew in and nestled upon the cage.
The canary at once struck up his lveli-
est notes. and seemed gratitied. This
was repeated two or three days, the
chippy going each morning and return
ing in the evening. One day it went
away and did not come back. TSecanary
dropped, and the next day fell dead
from his perch in the sunshine that
played over the gilded cage in the
window. That night the chippy re-
turned, and during the evening it
mourned over its dead companion. In
the morning it chung to the cage until
it was turned out. For q few days the
empty cage was hung in the window,
and on each succeeding evening the
chippy returned and chirped as if it
was grief-strickeu One day it brought
. worm in its bill, dropped it into the
cage. flew away. and came back no
more.-Et. Louie Times.

soil close about the roots and securing
the plant. This has the advantage
over the dibble that the soil is left mel
low, and not compact, about the roots,
as when q round hole is made by press
ure. The after-cultivation is simply to
keep the soil clean and mellow about
the plants until they are large enough
to shade the ground and do this service
for themselves.
The crop is not injured by moderate
frosts, but it keeps better through the
winter. if stored away before the outer
leaves are frozen. Cabbages keep best
when pulled with the roots left upon
the stems, and are best preserved by
storing in pits in the earth in e similar
manner to that used for keeping roots.
Some burrows are plowed outward from
each other until a trench is made.
This is deepened with the shovel. The
cabbages are packed in this trench in
rows, with the roots outward. Some
short rails are laid across the heads,
and more cabbages are heaped upon
those until the pit ia four feet high 1t
is then covered with straw a foot thick,
and this with earth four to eight inches
deep, leaving holes every four feet
apart in the ridge of the covering tor
ventilation.
In feeding them to cows or sheep it
is not necessary to cut them, being soft
and easily bitten. Five sheep or one
cow can eat one or two large heads, or
three small ones, at meal, with good
appetites. As long as they last, they
may be served at each meal, if some
dry feed is provided between them.
Eighty pounds of cabbage daily, with
four to six pounds of cotton-seed meal,
will make an excellent winter ration
for dairy COW, or for five or six fat
tening sheep. If the cabbages are well
kept and not suffered to rot, or those
that are damaged are not given to the
cows, there will be no disagreeable
flavor given 10 the milk or butter.

How to Tell q Horses Age.

A HORSE has forty teeth, composed of
twelve incisors. four tushes and twenty
four mOlars; the mare has correspond
ing teeth, except the tushes, which are
in the female almost Invariably absent,
hence she has only thirty-six. All teeth
are composed essentially of enamel,
dentine and crusto petrosa. A curious
but remarkable fact presents itself re-
speeding the growth of horses teeth,
which is not common to other animals,
namely, that the teeth are growing con-
tinually from their development to the
animals death. They are forced up
from their sockets to supply the mate
rial removed by attrition. Tushes are
never shed; they make their appearance
between the animals four and half
and fifth year, hence if they are just
prOtruding we know, without any con-
firmatory evidence, tie horses age.
Either at birth or from one to fou. day 8
afterward the colt has four milk teeth
called the centrals. The lateral teeth
appear between four and six weeks
after birth, the corner teeth about the
eighth month. The centrals, or those
which first make their appearance, are
shed between two and half and three
years; the laterals are shed between
three and half and four years; the
corner teeth between four and half
and i've. About this time, or q little
before the tushes are full grown, the
animal is said, in horseman's phraseol-
ogy, to have a full mouth. We come
now to the important part of the sub
ject, where an animals age is deter
mined by the appearance Of the black
spots, or more correctly, the infundi-
bulum. The infundibulum or black
marks are worn out of the superior or
smooth surface of the lower jaw at six
years old, and that of the lateral are
commencing to disappear, and is com.
pleted at the seventh year. Thus at
this age we find the wearing surface of
both central and lateral inferior teeth
smooth, the black marks having been
worn away by attrition, and the marks
of the corner teeth begin to disappear,
and have entirely disappeared when
the animal becomes eight years old.
The horse is now considered tagged,
and no conscientious veterinary sur
geon or horseman would positively
assert the animals age. only approx
mately. Some people aver they can
determine the exact age by signs other
than the teeth, but such indications are
unreliable. As the animal advances in
age his teeth gradually grow long and
appear to become more horizontal.
The mouth, which at five years old was
cup shaped. now loses this appearance
and becomes elongated. The teeth,
which were in the age last mentioned
nearly perpendicular, are now slanting,
and this process appears with advan-
cling age. As q horse becomes old the
enamel loses its original beautiful
wilderness and assumes q cloudy or
smoky yellow instead, and becomes
striated with brown and black marks.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

leaving out the whites of four; add
them to one quart of milk and five
ounces of sugar; have a shallow pan of
hot water in the oven, set the dish into
it, and bake till the custard is thick;
then take it out and set it away to cool;
beat the remaining whites very light.
add half pound of sugar gradually
and q teaspoonful of lemon-juice.
When the custard is cold lay the whites
over the top in heaps, but do not let
them touch.
Pruning ought to be done in June,
after the leaves have attained their
full size, then the wounds will not bleed
and they will commence to heal imme-
diately. When you prune before the
sap starts, when it does start it will
run out of the places where YOU have
cut off the limbs and kill the bark.
That accounts for the large number of
limbs in a good many orchards with
about two or three inches of dead wood
at the ends with the bark nicely grown
down around acknowledgement

vest is of diagonal cloth like the coat,
and the colored pantaloons are in the
neat, inconspicuous mixtures now
worn, instead of the gray or lavender
shades, once 80 much used.

Prince Albert frock-coat of blue OF

dcuble-breasted vest of white duck.
Full-dress suits of fine lustroui
broadcloth have the swallow-tail coat,
vest and pantaloons cut from the same
piece. There is perceptible change
in these suits, as the coat is cut short
er. and the pantaloons are narrower.
The vest rolls very low to display the
shirt bosom, and is fastened by three
buttons. White vests are not worn
with fuil-dress suits. The neck-tie is
of white muslin, narrowly folded.
Light-c0lored overcoats have been
superseded by dark colors, and brown
is the favorite hue, in. very dark
shades. Meltons of light quality,
though dark color, and worsted dag
onals, are the materials used. Shor,
sack coats of real India pongee are
shown for Office wear. There are also
long busters for driving and travelling
made of this cool light pongee.
The dress hat for spring and summer
is of blue-pearl cashmere drawn over
q willow body to make it light. The
crown measures six and three-fourth
inches in height, and the brim il
stylishly narrow, with small D'Orsay
curve we'll rolled. 1t has a heavy.
ribbed band and medium binding Of
the same blue-pearl shade. Low hats
for undress wear have higher crowns
than low hats usually do, measuring
from five and half to six inches, and
these also have q very narrow brim
shaped like that just described for dress
hats. These are shown both in square
crowns and in the round Derby crown,
and both crown and brim are stiff and
unyielding. They may be had in black,
in blue-pearl, in many shades of brown
and gray, and in odd mixtures to
match suits of Scotch goods. The only
soft felt hats shown are those called
pocket hats, to be worn when travelling.
Mackinaw straw hats for summer
are in sailor shapes, with stiff brim and
black band and binding. For picnics,
fishing and country wear are the India
hats in helmet shape, made on ligh,
frames of pith, covered with cloth OF
ecru pongee. Inside the brim is dark
green silk facing that is grateful to the
eyes.
Low shoes are worn in the English
shape known as Oxfords. The toes
are medium narrow, but are not SO
nearly pointed as they have been. Calf
skin and kid are the the most used, but
patent-leather shoes are again in favor
with semi-dress suits, for visiting the
theater, etc.
Gloves fastened by two buttons are
worn of undressed kid, lisle-thread or
silk for summer. Drab, gray and ecru
shades are chosen.-Harper's Bazaar.

The Death of Gen. Shields,

Gen. James Shields, the old veteran
of two wars, died suddenly at Ottum.
wa, Iowa. on Sunday evening last,
where he had been visiting relatives
while engaged in the duties of his
lecture course. The news of his death
will carry sadness with it throughout
the entire country, which had come to
regard the brave old soldier with feel
ings of kindly admiration and respect.
Gen. Shields was born in County
Tyrone, Ireland, in 1910, and emil
grated to the United States in 1927, set
thing in Illinois about the year 1880.
Prior to the outbreak of the Mexican
War he held several Offices, although
he was not naturalized until 1910. In
1884 he was sent to the Legislature
from Randolph County, subsequently
was appointed Auditor bv Gov. Carlin,
and in 1843 was elected q Supreme
Judge. He was next appointed Com
missioner of the General Land Office
by President Polk, aud, when the Mexi-
can War broke out, by favor of the
President he entered the service as a
Brigadier- General, and made for him
self a record of soldierly skill and cour-
age that has rarely been surpassed by
any American soldier. At Cerro Gordo
he was shot through and through
ana reported as killed, but he recov-
cred in time to take q distinguished
part in the closing events of the
war under Gen. Scott, and was the re-
cipient of q sword from the State OF
South Carolina. On his return to Illi-
nois, in 1849, he was elected to the
United States Senate, but. only having
been naturalized in 1910, the time re-
quired to make him eligible had not ex-
pred, and his seat was declared va
cant. As soon as he became eligible,
however, he was again elected, and
served until his term expired. He sub
sequently made Minnesota his home,
and in 1857 was elected to the Senate
from that State. and served two years.
During the War of the Rebellion he was
given commission in the Union Army,
and served with great gallantry
in the Department of West Vir-
ginia until he was again severe
~ wounded. Meanwhile his old
wounds broke out afresh. He became
deaf and almost lost his eyesight. The
combination of ply steal ailments COM
PEELED him to resign. After the war
he moved to Missouri. which has since
been his home. With the events of his
life during the past few years-his cleo
ton to fill the brief remainder of Sena-
tor Bogy's term in the Senate. and his
brilliant success as lecturer-the pub.
lie is already familiar.
In his death the country loses one Of
the most gallant and brilliant soldiers
on her rolls; an officer who will always
be held in grateful all,l remembrance Ds fo1
tle s un Of the highest dignity and " NOS,
spotless character; scholar of excel.
lent culture; and q man of those genial
and humane characteristics which ap-
pealed not only to his own countrymen
but to the whole public. = Chicago 1'ib.

ENGLISH styles still prevail for gen.
tlemen's clothing. AS rule, coats are
worn shorter both in the waist and
skirt; vests are cut very high and usual
ly without collar for summer wear;
pantalo0ns are worn much narrower
than they were last season. The fash
ionable tailors have no special designs
in materials, they use stripes, checks,
blocks or mixed goods, to suit the
tastes of their different customers.
There is, however, q decided prefer
ence for rough-6nished goods, for d.
agOnals, and figured cloths; indeed, the
use of smooth, lustrous broadcloth is
now restricted to full-dress suits made
with swallow-tail coats, and to the
Prince Albert frock-coats that are occa-
sionally ordered for morning weddings
or for funerals.
Suits for business. for travelling and
for morning wear generally are made
