People who have cows to sell take them
to Kings cattle yards in Detroit, on Mon
day morning, and the people who want 10
buy cows 30 there 10 select their animals.
There is always big crowd and any
amount of chatting Cows OF all colCrs,
ages, shapes and sizes are tied 10 the fences,
and the owner will take his oath that moth
ing but mortgage on his farm could have
induced him to part with his favorite.
The other Monday the sport If the yard
was II COW with tail about foot and
half long The weather was awful hot
and the flies plenty, and she not only
worked that old stub fora all il was worth,
but made it pretty lively for insects with
her hind feet.
Il see smiles and hear laughter" SAID
the owner as he faced the COW, ''but this
very boS-tailed cow is worth any four III
the yard. She don't look finished out
with that stumpy tail, but here is another
case wherein the inventive genius of man
can overcome the lost forces of nature"
lie thereupon deity affixed II small bush
to her tail by means of string, and the
COW sent the flies Sky-higA at every rap.
And now how did this cow lose her
tail = continued the man as he hung his
coat on the fence. ''She didn't 90 slath-
ering around moving -mvchine-oh, no.
She didn't get it hung in the barn door
not by jugGul. She didn't cut it off her
sell to spite the family, for she knows how
we all love her Why, gentlemen. when
] started with this COW this morning there
was III re weeping and bowling in the
Town of Redford than ever heard at any
funeral. | tell We, bob-tailed COWS not
only have place in the worlds green pas
lures, but also i'll the affections OF the pub
lie. I've got to sell that cow to buy liver
pads for my family, and tell you | feel
sac clean down 10 my boots. Excuse these
tears, but that animal has got a strong hold
on my affections, and We are a family that
never conceal our real feelings"
BY this tine everybody IN the yard was
in the circle around him, and the man
wiped his eyes and said
About her lost tail. Last week stran-
ger come along looking Tor COW which
would give twenty quarts OF milk at one
milking. | told him he was my buckle

again, and she'll do ii every day in the
year. The stranger laughed, that kinder
stung me, and told Inn if she didn't pan
out twenty full quarts Of milk I'd cut OF

$50 for the cow. Ladies and gentlemen,
sot down and MIXED. / felt as sure of

tOI,C bald men have heirs.

Near a large planning mIh in the town of
Red Clay, there lives family named Rose
Several days ago Mrs. Rose had occasion
to 30 20 the mill, carrying her ten-months-
olG cii)d along with her. While there the
little one fell asleep, and becoming rather
burdcuSOme, she laid it in large box in
the mill. After concluding her business
she lett the mill, forgetting all about the
child, leaving it peacefully sleeping in the
bottom of the box in the mill. Some hours
later she remarked its absence, but, re-
membering where she laid it. she thought
she had told her husband to bring it home,
and she felt no further uneasiness. At
supper the father came, bat no child. She
anxIously asked him in regards to the child,
but lie disclaimed any knowledge of Its
whereabouts. Upon telling him where she
had laid it, and where in all probability 1t
was still lying, sudden pallor overspread
lis face, and it was with the greatest diff
Guilty that he could tell her that few min
utes before he had emptied several bushels
of meal in that self-same box. and In all
probability the child had long since died
from suffocation. A doctor was hurrledly
sent for, the box was sought, and in it,
under the meal, lay the child, berett of all
sensibility. The doctor applied every
known restorative, but at last accounts it
still lay in Comatose state, with hardly a
possibility Of recovery.

Sapphire Hunting IN Siam.

Five years ago native hunter IN Siam
found sapphires in remote and secluded
district. Some en- who were let into the
secret followed him into the mines aud
brought back TO Rangoon and Calcutta
number of very valuable stones. n rLsh
cnsued from British Burmah thousands of
adventures tiocking 10 the mines, some 10
find sudden fortune, but more 10 ose their
lives from privation and jungle fever. The
mines occur in the provinces of Battam-
bong and Chantaboon. In his commercial
report for 1879, the British consul at Bang
kok says that the miners are very careful
TO conceal their gems while In Siam. Being
anxious 10 show some of the gems TO
Admiral CoOte, the consul called for specl-
mems from some miners who had just re-
turned from the diggings One miner
poorly clad and miserable looking fellow.
produced few small stones, and after a
great deal of coaXing was induced, with
many precautions, to give private vi W of
his great prize, which was large sapphire
in the rough. valued at $40, 900. He wou d
not have shown this stone at all had he not
been on the point of leaving in steamer
Owing to the secrecy then observed by the
pOssessOrs of valuable gems, it is impossible
to give any estimate of the total value of
stones found, but that individuals have
made very large profits is certain. One
man dug out stone which he offered for
sale in ChantabOon at f1ve-hundred dol
lars, but did not find purchaser. He
went with with it to Rangoon, where he was
offered $500; but having awoke to the value
of the stone, he declined to sell and took it to
Calcutta, where he eventually obtained
$l5, 900 for it. Now, however, there are
many experienced gem merchants estab-
lished in the neigehorhood of the mines,
and something Ike the real value of e
stones can be obtained by the miners on
the spot. The largest sapphire hitherto
found, so far as the consul knows, weighed
80 carats in the rough, and when cut
turned out III carats of the finest water.
The ruby, onyx, and jade are also found
in the district, but the quality of none of
these is such as to make them very valua-
bic.

Night il the Moon.

1t last, however, night sets IN. Crate
fully it comes after the sun has gathered
up his smlting rays and gone down to his
rest All at once we are plunged into
comparative obscurity, for again there is no
twilight to stay the steps of departing day.
At one stride comes the dark. But look
ing up into the sky, we behold vast orb,
which pours down a milder and more
beneficent splendor than the great lord of
lAc system. 1t is such a moon as we
lcrrestrials cannot boast, for it is not less
than thirteen times as large and luminous
as our own. There it hangs in the tirma-
ment, without apparent change of place,
as if "fixed in its everlasting seat" But
not without change of .'Irface. For this
globe is painted panorama, and turning
round majestlcally on its axis, presents its
oceans and continents in grand succession.
AS Europe and Africa, locking the Medi-
terranean in their embrace roll away to
the right, the stormy Atlantic offers its
waters to view, then the two Americas,
with their huge forests and vast prairies
pass under inspection. Then the grand
basin of the Pacific lit up with island fires
meets the gaZer's eye, and as this glides
over the scene the eastern rim OF Asia, the
upper portion of Australia, sail into sight.
The Indian ocean, and afterward the Ara
bian sea spread themselves out in their sub
dued splendor, and thus in four and twenty
hours ''the great rotuudity we tread"
turns its pictured countenanceto to the moon,
and grandly repays the listening lunarians
by repeating, to the best of It's ability, the
sto of its birth. Nor is the sky less mar.
velous in another respect. For the absence
of any atmospheric diffusion of light per-
mits the consultations to shine out with a
distinctness which is never paralleled on
earth. They glitter like diamond points
set in a armament of ebony. Stars and
clusters which we never see by the naked
eye flock into view, and crown the heavens.

The wonderful Auaptabllity of Paper.

The adaptability of paper to numerous
important and wldely-var.e usesls wonder
full What other substance can be satlstac-
torily substituted for wood, iron and such
common materials, to the extent that paper
can be z 1t is impossible to find anything
else which, like paper, may be 50 different
ly and dexterously prepared, as regards
fiexibility, thinness, strength, durability,
imperviousness to fire and water, etc., that
it can be readily made into pals, wash
bowls, Dishes bricks, napkins, blankets,
barrels, houses, stoves, wearing apparel,

ships, fOwerpots, parchment states, cover
ings for the leads OF pencils, jewelry,
lanterns, car-wheels, dies for stamping,

paper to take the place of everything else,
to become universal substitute, soto speak,
which leads to the conclusion that the
lture has grand development in store for
1t, and that IN the years to come its manu-
facture will hold magnificent position
among the great industrial interests of the
world.

Reserved Seats.

In travelling, one meets with many sell
fish people ; among them countless women
who insist on monopolizing two seats in a
railway car under the pretense that ole of
them is engaged by an attendant gentleman,
supposedly in the Smoking-car for brief
interval. We saw two women of this sort
rightly served during a summer trip. For
fifty miles they succeeded in warding off
travellers who sought the shady side of the
car, and the seat in front of them was the
convenient receptacle of their baggage
Finally, however, an uncOuth-lOOk;ng indi-
vidual removed the baggage and turned the
seat. The astOnished ladies paused IN their
conversation TO each other and raised their
hands as if in remOnstrSnce, but il was TOO
late; the thing was quietly and q.Hckly
accomplished, and the two foreigners who
were seated there seemed TO understand no
words or gestures. Public opinion in that
car, at least sided with them. On another
occasion, when our party entered 81 car, not
seat was available One person was
guarding four, others one and two; the
aisle was intentionally crowded. This
way said the conductor room in the
palace car for those who are standing"
The engaged seats were at "a discount (penty
of room now, butt conductor insisted that
they should be retained by their occupants,
and all were made comfortable. "Do as
you would be done by," is Il good RUE
when travelling as elsewhere.

How to Boil and Stew,

To do either properly, the food must I've
immersed at The beginning In actually boil
ing water, and the water must be allowed
to reach tie boiling poin immG dil e'y, and
TO boil for about five minutes. The action
of the boiling water upon the surface of
either meat or vegetables is to harden ii
slightly, just enough to prevent the escape
of either juices or mineral salts. After
the pot containing the food has begun TO
boil the second time, it should be removed
to the side of the fire, and allowed to SIM
mer until the food is done. This simmer
ing, or stewing, extracts all the nutritious
qualities of either meat or vegetables; the
pot should be kept closely covered unless
for moment when it is necessary to raise
the cover III order to remove the scum.
The steam will condense upon the inside of
the cover, and fall back into the pot in
drops of moisture, if the boiling is slow
Do not think that the rapid boiling cooks
faster than the gentle process recommend.
After the pot once boils you cannot
make It's contents cook any faster if you
have fire enough under it to run a steam
engine. So save your fuel and add 1t to
the fire little by little, to keep the pot boil
ing. Remember If you boil meat hard
and fast it will be tough and tasteless, and
most of it's goodness will go up the Chin
ney, or out of the window with the steam.

To Drill Glass.

The following directions are given for
drilling glass: Take d common drill, run
little fast; do not press on, the weight of
the drill is enough. Drill from both sides,
keeping the glass and drill wet with tur-
pentine. Be very carefnl when the two
holes meet not to let the drill catch. After
a hole is made large enough for small
round file, file to the desired size, keeping
the file and glass wet with turpentine.

OLD AND YOUNG.

They soon grow old who grope for gold
In msr,s where all is bought and sold;
Who live for self, and on some shelf
In dsrkened vaults hoard up their pelf,
Cankered aud crusted DER with mould.
For them their youth itself i'd old.
They ne'er grow old who gather gold
Where Spring awRkes and flowers unfold
Where suns arise In Joyous skies.
And fill the soul within their eyes
For them have the immortals sung;
For them old age itself is young

A REBEL VIEW. OF REBEL
CLAIMS.

From the Richmond (Va.) State, Dem.
In this section no sensible man has
ever dreamed that he would recover
single iota of anything he lost by en-
barking in the cause that was lost
He knew that it was all gone and was
proud of the sacrifice that he had made
If he was wrong in what he had done,
then was he willing to pay the penalty;
if right, as he believed, then was he
equally willing to make the sacrifice,
and long since have those losses either
been made up or forgotten. The sol
der who lost his limbs or was broken
in health, or whose young years were
wasted in the field when he might
have been preparing himself for the
battle of life in school or college or
workshop, has never even dreamed
that the government he fought so he
roically aud toiled so unremittingly to
destroy would turn round and reward
him. II matters not that the money
which goes to pension others is collec-
ted from him in great part. That is
the fate of war, and he must suffer it
in silence and without complaint. He
is an honorable gentleman who pays
his debts of honor. No true Confeder-
ate is ever found grumbling over the
hard fate of the war. He asks no Pc
cuniary reward or pension, no dam
ages or indemnity. He staked high
upon a single card and it went against
him. 'He lost on the turn" And h'
neither takes ''asnic" nor cries for thu
return of his stake.
