A NEW Cow-FAsTENER.-A humane
man, says the Kansas Times, has inven-
ted an improved mode of combining COWS
without stanchions or stalls, He uses
small posts, Axe inches, set up where
the stanchion would be, 8 feet inches
from center to center. On the inside of
these posts, IA inches above the floor, a
! staple, - inches long, is driven into
each post, A 4-inch cable chain, stretch
ing from staple to staple with ring on
each end, slides up and down on the
staples, has ring in the middle into
which the cow is to be fastened. A
leather strap }inches wide, with astrong
breast-strap slipped ON, isplaced around
the cows neck and riveted on with three
small copper rivets. The COW is brought
between the two posts and the snap
fastened to the ring in the middle of the
chain, which holds the COW in the
center between the two posts, bat the
slack of the chain and the chain slip
ping back and forth upon the neck
enables the COW to move forward and
backward, to turn her head, and she
may lick or scratch herself from shout
der to rump. Andwhen she lays down,
it may be in the natural position
with her head upon her shout
der. The COW carries the strap
upon her neck, and it is not as much
work to fasten her as with rope.

Husband and Wife.

"Agreat deal of the misery and unhap-
piness that exist in families might be
averted, in whole or in part, if the hus-
band and wife would only try to under
stand each other and show little more
forbearance with each others faults.
Incompatibility of temperament is only
another name for stubborness, and will
ever exist where the parties insist on
misinterpreting each others defcien-
cies. Where this mutual understand
ing exists, everything moves along
smoothly. If mistake is made it is
passed over without comment, and does
not become the cause of chickering's and
dlssensions; if hasty word is spoken,
its effects are laughed away and forgot
ten as soon as uttered. In this way
much trouble is avoided that the con-
trary course will inevitably bring about.
Home should ever be the abode of peace
and contentment, and there can never
be a necessity for a contrary state of
things, as there can be no justification
therefor,

To CURL HA1R.-A very easy and
harmless process is to take strips of old
cotton cloth, which will, when wound
over, make a curl of desirable size.
Out each strip the required length for
curl; then sew to one end of the strip
a piece Of cloth twice its length, and
an inch wide. Part off lock of hair
and place the fastened ends of the strip
close to the roots of the hair. Wind
the lock smoothly over the larger strip,
covering it Immediately with winding
of the other strip. Fasten the ends
securely over the ends of the hair with
needle and thread. This process
makes beautiful, and natural-looking
curls.

took advantage of the situation,
and, while the others were soothing
her, quietly told her that we had no
intention of wronging any one, much
less our dear relation, and that she
misunderstood the situation. That the
old gentleman had nothing but his
good wishes to will to his children,
and, as it was not merchantable and not
easily transferred, she could see that
we could hardly control her share OF
the estate. also said that there were
some liabilities actually incurred by the
good man before, at and after death,
and that was the occasion of this de-
liberation, and that we were Just pro-
portioning to each one who was present
the amount that he was expected to pay
toward the expenses of sickness. funeral,
etc. "But," I added, cas- you were not
present, we did not want to put an as
sessment against you, but, seeing that
you thought so much of your father and
wish 80 much to take part in straight
ening up the good mans estate, we
cheerfully let you do so. Let me see,
four goes into 800, seventy"
stop right there, MIR. Squarem. I
am calm now, perfectly calm, and I
don't wish anything more to do with
this little picayunish matter. You have
been acting without my consent, so far,
and upon your own responsibility, and
you can do as you please about it. I
shall have nothing to do with the affair
in any way"
But" I ventured to say, "your great
love for your father, you know. You
certainly wish to do q little for"
81 won't give farthing, not a far
thing, and he didn't do right by his
children either, and he could not expect
them to do anything for him, and you
are fools If you do, too"
And with this she gathered her wraps
about her and was fading lastly away,
and as she reached the door I meekly
asked: eff she didn't want to wait a
moment, as I would see if the members
of the family present wouldn't make up
all, or a portion, of the $3.87." But the
last sentence fell short of its mark, and
the distance was heightened between
Mrs. Toplight and us.
We fear that there will be an es-
arrangement in this family, but that is
beyond our control, and, if such be the
case, truly sorrow has overtaken us.
But while we live we will try to keep
ourselves, and others too, from having
large expectations from weak sources

A Siamese Fah,e

A man chased by tiger in o forest
one night escaped by climbing q tree,
ON which lived q monkey and It's fami-
~. The monkey received the man
kindly, and refused to listen to the
tiger, which advised it to fling him
down while he slept. When the man
awoke the tiger retired, and the monkey
went to sleep. Presently the tiger re.
turned, and recommended the man to
fling the monkey down. The man
pondered while, then gave the monkey
push, and il fell into the tigers claws.
Awakened by the shock and the pain,
the monkey laughed aloud. Where
fore laughest thou, when ] am clawing
thy bodyP" asked the astonished tiger.
Because thou thinkest thy claws are
near my heart, and thou art wrong" re-
piled the monkey. "Where, then, is
thy hearth" "At the end of my tail"
The tiger let go its hold, but before it
could seize its victims tail the monkey
ran up the tree and was saved. It knew
who had pushed il over, but it uttered
no angry word. When the day dawned
the tiger disappeared, and the monkey
went out to gather fruit for its guest.
During its absence the man killed its
mate and all its little ones, intending to
take them home for his wife to
cook; when the monkey came
back with a throng of its kins-
folk, it found its home made
desolate. Still it uttered no angry
word-only offered to guide the man
out of the forest. They set forth to-
gether, the man following the monkey.
After time the man struck the monkey
over the head so hard that the blood
gushed forth. "Why hast thou done
this?" asked the monkey. because
wanted flesh for my wife to cook" re-
piled the man. "But, if thou hadst
killed me-" said the monkey, "who
would have guided thee out of the
forest? Now follow me at distance;
my blood-drops will show thee the way.
And, when thou art clear from the
trees, then thou canst kill me without
risk" The man did as he was coun-
seled. When they came near the forest
verge, the monkey stopped for the man
to come up and kill it. The man killed
the monkey. But, just as he was leav-
ing the forest, he tripped and fell, first
into hole, then headlong right into
hell. But no sooner was the monkey
dead than it was carried straight up into
heaven. There, in golden palace, it
was joined by all its dear ones whom
the man had killed. "But where is
the man?" asked the monkey, with
anxious sympathy. He is in he'll"
was the reply. "Your Highness must
not think Of hin any more" Notes
and Queries.

A Struggle with a Deril.Fish.

A diver who was attacked by large
octopus, or devil-fish, while at work on
the bed of the Moyne river, at Belfast,
in the Colony of Victoria, gave this &C.
count of the affair: Having thrust my
arm into hole I found it was held by
something, and the action of the water
was stirring up the loose clay, and there
fore I could not see distinctly for few
minutes; but when it did clear away I
saw to my horror the arm of large oc-
topus entwined around mine like boa
constructor, and just then he fixed some
of his suckers on the back of my hand,
and the pain was intense. I felt as if
my hand was being pulled to pieces,
and the more I tried to take it away
the greater the pain became. I had the
greatest difficulty in keeping my feet
down, as the air rushed along the in
terror of my dress and inflated it; and
if my feet had got uppermost should
soon have become insensible held in
such a position; and, also, if I had given
the signal to be pulled up, the brute
would have held on, and the chances
would have been that I should have had
a broken arm. I had hammer with
me, but could not reach down to use it
on the brute. There was a small iron
bar about five feet from me, and with
my foot dragged it along until I could
reach it with my left hand. And now
the fight commenced, and the more I
struck him the tighter he squeezed, I'M
til my arm got quite benumbed. After
while I found the grip begin to relax
a little, but he held on until I had al
most cut him to pieces, and then ne re-
laxed his hold from the rock and
pulled him up. I was completely ex-
hausted, having been in that position
for over twenty minutes. I brought
the animal up, or rather a part of it.
We laid him out, and he measured over
eight feet across, and I feel perfectly
convinced that this fellow could have
held down five or six men,"

Why Patty Spoke in Church.


If the minister had asked any other
question, it never would have hap
pened.
If it had been on any other day than
that one particular day, it never would
have happened.
If any other boy in the whole wide
universe excepting Robby had been
with Patty, it never would haYe hap
pened.
Above all, if it had been two strang-
ers standing before the alter instead of
Sister Susie and Willy Norris, it never
could have happened.
But it did happen, and that is all I
know about it.
IF any one here present" said the
minister, looking kindly upon the sweet
bride with the brave young man beside
her, and then glancing calmly over the
little churchill of wedding-gEests,
"knows of any reason why this man
and this woman should not be joined
together in the holy bonds OF matri-
mony, let him speak now, Or"
whats all that?" whispered Robby,
in great scorn, to Patty. IT guess he
doesn't know. There amt any bounds
of materony about it."
That was enough. Robby was her
oracle. Up jumped Patty, anxious to
set things right, and determined that
the wedding should 60 on, now that
Sister Susie had on her white dress
and orange flowers and everything.
Il dol" she called out in sweet,
resolute voice, and holding up warn
ing finger. II do. Please wait, sir
There amt any materony about it at all
They came on purpose to be married.
3O course they didl" muttered Rob
by.
Everybody stared at Patty. It was 9
dreadful moment, but the wedding
went on, ali the same,
And Patty and Robby were the very
first to kiss the bride.
