Prvaut's Dimdenee,

Once we talked of diffident persons !;
he thought ..this might be classed with
the trials of life," and said that with
him this feeling amounted to bashful-
ness. Often he had gone 10 church
and would feel so diffident before he
entered that he could not get up cour
age enough to do it. and would come
away. And sometimes as he was led
to q seat there, would find himself in
such an agitation that drops of perspira-
ton wouid fall from his face.
This i strange" / said, for you,
who have been welcomed all over the
world, met so many persons, been so
honored, SO loved, how is it possibleP'
He replied ''1t is temperament. l
shall always feel just this sort of boy
ish limidity. Small events in public
often bring on this Distress" "How
about Your writings ?'' well, with
them l write and re-write and cast
aside so much and have such sense of
their lack of excellence" / think this
modesty shows in his pictures. Often
in his later years he would send me a
card with his likeness. Once he writes:

please your grandchildren to look at. -

Feeding GoyS in Milk,

1t seems extraordinary that the gen
eral run Of dairy-farmers make no eff
fort to flesh their COWS before they sell
them. Every autumn there are more
or fewer draft COWS for sale, TO make
room for the young ones that are reared,
and they have to go for what they hap
pen to be worth before winter comes
on. They are of course just the COWS
the farmer has no wish TO keep, or, at
all events, the least desirable ones in
the herd. Commonly, they are sold for
a fault, that of age, or of being inferior
mixers. or of having ga screw LOOSE
somewhere; and these very faults, sup
posing they eXist-and buyers always
act ON the assumption that they do eX-
ist-make it more imperative that there
should be condition to help the sale. Ii
the COW is in good condition in the
autumn, it is p7iDad fac{e evidence of
q good constitution, and that is an i'm
portant point to make clear when
man has an animal to sell. In any
case she commands customer almost
Mt the sellers own price. A lean COW
is not nice thing to face winter with;
and, however good an animal she may
be except for the leanness, she brings
an inferior price. We have frequently
known really desirable cattle sold at a
sacrifice off their merits just because
their owners lad let them fall out Of
condition in a wet dashing autumn;
VIII reas Il little extra keep, and shelter
from the storms, both of which would
have been repaid in the extra milk,
would have added pounds sterling per
heal to their selling value.
Yet farmers go On year after year in
the same practices, neglecting to give
their cattle some dry stimulating food
when the grass begins to wane on the
pastures giving them instead some
sort of green food to force all the milk.
The result is that, having no really
nourishng food, and being exposed to
Whatever weather may come, they lose
flesh quickly, and SO are worth less
money. As the weather grows colder
the grasses lose good deal OF their
nutritive properties, and it is not TO be
expected that milk-giving animal can
keep up her flesh under such conditions
The best dairy farmers we know-smal
farmers as well a; large ones-never
let their COWS out of condition at any
time of the year, and especially those
OF them they intend to sell. They do
not have faith In selling anything lean,
at lean price. 1t is condition they
aim to sell, and not mere bag OF
bones. An animated skeleton is a
fright IN the market, and you never
hnd farmer worth the name shocking
his nelghbors that way.

The lightning Express of the Seas.

Some time ago mention was made in
the papers of a novel steam craft, the
invention of Californian, which, in
stead of blowing through the water
after the old fashion, is to be borne on
buoyant revolving globes, the hull
being supported entirely above the sur
face of the water When this strange
craft was mentioned before, only q
model had been experimental with,
and it was announced that the inven-
tor was about to construct passenger
vessel to ply between New York on one
of the watering-places not far from
there. The New York Banker says
that preliminary experiments promise
astounding results. 1t already seems
certain that this vessel will be the light
ming express and fast mail of the seas"
There does not seem to be any good
reason to doubt that this craft viii mako
extraordinary time on smooth water.
and, as these are TO be driven by en-
gines, there viii be no more resistance
to the progress of the boat than is Of
fered to the progress of a locomotive
passing over a smooth track. But the
craft viii necessarily be top-heavy, AMI
will hardly be able to ride heavy sea,
or weather a storm.
