A Precious Darling.

There is a child in Bangor, Me.
whom, according to the old theory
Providence manifestly designs fol
the pulpit or the gallows. This en-
terprising youngster has not yet
reached the age of five years, but
he is old in experience. Two years
ago he swallowed a quantity OF
paint, which the doctor finally sue
ceeded in removing from his stom-
ach. While the recollection of this
exploit was still fresh, a mouthful
of laudanum found it way down
his throat to that bourne whence
such travellers seldom return, but
again the physician was equal to
the emergency. Not long after
ward his parents took their dar-
ling to Belfast to make a visit, and
while there he introduced into one
of his nostrils a kernel of corn,
which it required heroic efforts to
dislodge. Without waiting for an
encore, he repeated this perform
aEce Immediately upon his return
to Bangor. This time the kernel
of corn remained so long in the
nose that, when finally extracted,
it was found on the point of sprout

She Married to Please Her Father

Kate Boas is a bankers daughter
in Reading, Pa. Nature gave her
good looks and her fathers mil
lion enabled her to add such ac-
complishments and adornments as
made her one of the foremost young
women in the mining districts OF
Pennsylvania. She was modest
and quiet, did not make a display of
fine dress, and in no way seemed to
be spoiled by wealth and fattery.
1t was thought that she mistrusted
the sincerity of her admirers, and
was fearful of fortune hunters, for
she avoided association with gentle
men as far as she could politely.
The fact is now public that she
never gave up the love of the sweet
heart of her school days, when she
was a comparatively poor girl, and
he was too heedlessly bOyish to
couple love and money in his calcu-
Iations. Her choice, however, was
not that of her fathers, and she
married a man whom she
did not love. That was seven years
ago. Now she is in an asylum for
the insane, and her husband sued
for a divorce and obtained 1t.

Sheep.

A man cannot succeed in the
sheep business by following loose
careless methods, for this animal
requires timely and proper care.
TO have hearty sheep, they
should not be half starved at
any period of their growth. To
grow wool every day, they must be
comfortable. Not only this, but a
sheep out of condition is subjected
to ailments that in good condition
would not have affected him -
Sheep fat iu the fall will go through
the winter and lambin-, all right.
Il in thin, bad condition, the relax
ing OF the system in spring, and
the extra demands on the eve at
lambing time bring a series of dis
eases. No animal rewards Its own
err so for liberal feeding and pains
taking care as does sheep. The
idea some men have that sheep re-
quire no care or looking after, is
absurd. The ewes should be no
ticed at lambing time. Some al
ways have milk for their lambs to
begin with, and some do not
Sheep that are a success in raising
lambs and in shearing good fleeces,
and those that are healthy, that i'm
part the same to their progeny. in
short all of them should be noticed
Looking after them it will be dis
covered that it will not pay to raise
a feeble or deformed sheep. 1t
will not pay to keep old sheep, nor
does it pay to sell the tops of your
locks.

LADIES COLUMN.
One Girls Deeds.

Cleveland Voice: An indulgent
uptown father recently determined
to present his only daughter
beautiful maid of eighteen-vith a
couple Of practical proofs of his af-
lection in the shape of Two valua-
BILE building lots. He had the
deeds prepared, an evening or two
ago, during che absence Of his child
at a party, he crept up TO her room
and laid the valuable documents On
her bureau, intending they should
prove an interesting surprise for the
young lady in the morning. 1t was
late hour when the maiden
reached her room, and, without
turning out the gas, speedily made
her retiring arrangements. AS she
stood before the bureau, It occurred
to her to put her hair up in papers,
as an aid to her toilet for a dinner
party on the coming day. Her
hands fell upon the deeds, and,
without a moments examination,
she Immediately converted them
into slender strips, and soon had
her raven tresses ornamented with
the usual spiral knobs. The next
without removing the pa
pers, she went down to breakfast,
and found her father awaiting her
with a peculiarly happy smile on
his benevolent countenance. His
face drew down, however, when his
laughter gave him the usual morn
ng salutation, and seated herself at
.he table. He fidgeted about for a
or two, and then, with ill
anxiety, inquired: "Hem
Laura, didn't you get your deeds?'
The maiden looked up IN surprise.

Little Red Ridinrh God,

There was a real case of Little
Red Ri1inghood and the wolf al
one of our hotels the other morn
ing. A large Newfoundland dog
had strayed into the building dur
ing the night, and after wandering
about in the vain search for his
master finally entered the sleeping
apartment of two little girls, daugh
tiers of the proprietor, whose room
adjoined that of their parents. In
the morning the mother of the
twins was aroused from slumber
by the piercing shrieks OF one Of
the children, and rushing hastily
to their room the sight that met
her gaze seen in a wilderness would
have frozen her blood, but in the
midst of civilized hotel life It on
" called forth a hearty laugh.
There stood the great black bear
like dog with his forepaws on the
bed, licking the hands of the
screaming child, while he wagged
his tail In perfect good huMor,
wholly unconscious of the fact that
to her excited Imagination he had
been playing the role of the story
book, and had already more than
half devoured our Little Red Rid
nghood by his great big eyes,
mouth and ears.

Points for Farmers.

A writer in the Southern Farm
er's Monthly, speaking of the old
fashioned methods of planting with
out the use OF manures, says: "Tht
country has been split up into
small farms, and small farmers can
not thrive if they undertake to ap
ply the methods and principles o
extensive farming to their one
horse, two-horse, or three-horse OPP
erations."
In regard to the "fancy yields, =
obtained by careful cultivation, lie
says: "In nearly every case the
facts brought out tend to prove
that, instead of having from l4,00C
to $4,000 stalks u the acre, we
should have only about 5000, or to
be exact and calculating a perfect
stand of 1910 stalks; and to secure
this number of stalks, it IS hardly
necessary to say that they should
stand three feet apart each way, or
nine SOU re feet to each stalk
Some cultivato.s have recommend
ed as the result OF their own prac-
tice to plant in three feet rows, and
chopplng out 50 as to leave three
stalks, if practicable, every eight or
ten inches in the row. This would
leave the almost incredible number
of about $4,000 stalks per acre.
Others again advise leaving one
stalk every twelve inches, and this
would give about $4,000 stalks. A
more limited number Recommend
ed a distance of 2 feet in the row,
and this distance would give about
1000 plants, and more than this
ought not to be allowed under any
circum stances. Land that will not
bear this distance and yield the
best result with it is not worth
planting to cottod."
Again, he observes: eve are sat
isfied from our observation, com
bined with the testemony of those
who have given it a trial, that by
far the most satisfactory results in
cotton culture are TO be obtained by
hill or check planting, and so long
as we hold to the old method of
having from fourteen to fifty thou
sand stalks on an acre we need not
hope to see any desired increase in
product on the usual acreage. The
reduction of hoe work to its mini
mum is one of the most important
objects to be attained in farmiI G
with the uncertain labor that we
now have. This is readily secured
by planting in checks, and the cul
tivator or sweep running both ways
will do away with the necessity of
hoeing."

Waste Worse Than Debt,

A gentleman whose business call
ed him into all parts of o { of our
central counties, few days ago, in
forms US that be took pains to noIe
the number and value of the NOW
ers, reapers and other expensive
agricultural implements he saw ly-
ing out and exposed to the wealth
er, on one of his trips, and from a
careful estimate he was satisfied
that the loss to the farmers from
this careless and wasteful neglect
was more than enough to have paid
the large debt of the county, five
times over. And yet many OF those
farmers are complaining grievously
of the hard times. for it was during
the years of 1875 and 10 Indi-
