The Sleepy Deacon.

Deacon Grampus-he has been called to his rest-was a good man honest and upright but terribly sleepy. That is, in seasons when away from his work, and h1s body had assumed restful pos ture-it was next to impossible for him to keep awake. And that will give you to understand that the deacon slept in meeting--in church--and such WIS the fact. He could generally remain awake until the minister had announced his text, and opened up his theme, and then his head would begin to bob-and nod and duck-until, finally, his chin would settle upon his bosom, and away he would go, into his sweet, restful sleep, bidding adieu to all care and troublous thought.
 It was great trial to the minister. Not only was it painful to behold. directly before him, one of his most in- fuential practitioners asleep, but so many others of the congregation were continually twisting about in their places to look at bim.
 At length we called Parson Netberby to settle with us, and preach for us. He was stirring man; emphatically, live man. He could not endure sleeper iu his congregation, and more especially, one of his deacons. He determined to administer corrective.
 Another Sabbath came-a calm beautiful day-and Parson Netherby was in his pulpit, ready for the labors of the hour. The hymns, the prayer, the Scripture lesson were disposed of in turn and then he announced his text. He had preached, perhaps, five minutes, when the good deacon began to nod. In i've minutes more he was fast asleep.
 Suddenly the minister stopped, and raised his finger admonishingly. A hush fell upon the house-a hush like the silence of dead night, broken only by the stentorious breathing of the deacon 1
 "Hark P
 That word, from the minister's lips, dropped like shot.
 "Deacon Grampus did you speak ?'' "Me !-Eh p And he rubbed his eyes, and looked around. The con- gregation were in broad grin, and a few were laughing outright. Excuse me, deacon I feared you might be unwell. You don't know how you frightened me But as I was say ing-Blessed are those who can enjoy the privileges of the sanctuary. Said the Psalmist-'I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord !-not to sleep; not to while away the time; but to praise the Lord l" And so he went on and ] think the deacon never slept in church again; at least not during Parson | Netherby's administration.

A Little Too Proud.

Writing to the Sunday Magazine, the Rev. Dr. Talmage relates the follow ing: "In Philadelphia man who had family of ten children came to me and wanted to borrow $15. I said to him, I will not loan you $15, but will give you $15 provided you will open news stand and support yourself. I know just where l can get position for you on the street for your s-stand, and I will give you the $15 if you will promise to expend it in the starting of that busi- ness.' He said he would take until the next day to think about it. On the morrow he came to me and thanked me for my kindness, but said he concluded that 1t would not be business worthy of him. 'Well,' I said, 'now please don't bother me any more, for I have work. Good morning."

Concentrated Food Combinations.

Mir. B. M. Welch asks if it will pay him "to exchange corn meal for wheat bran, pound for pound, to mix with the meal instead of feeding clear meal to milch COWS, horses, fatting cattle, or calves and yearlings ?"
 Practically the value of concentrated food now depends upon the combination in which it is fed. Bran, as against corn meal, when fed with clover hay, would have less value than when fed with straw or corn fodder. To give specific valuations of bran against corn meal for each purpose named, and for various combinations, would require long let ter. While 100 pounds of bran will give 12 to 13 pounds of digestible albu- minoids, and corn bat from 9 to 10 pounds, yet the total amount digested in 100 pounds of corn meal would be about 20 pounds more than in 100 pounds of bran. Years experience with albumin ous foods would not lead me to sacrifice 20 pounds or more of carbohydrates for three pounds of albuminoids. l find that for COWS it will not give as much milk by to 3 per cent. as meal, and IT to 20 per cent. less of butter and of poorer quality. For growing steers my experience, on the whole, is more favor- able to the corn meal; also for fattening steers.
 would not exc han ge meal for bran for calves if I could avail myself clover hay or its second crop to feed in part with it. I would only use it at the same price as corn meal for calves. where circumstances necessitated the feeding of secondary quality of hay. Where skim milk enters into the rations of calves I should not care for it. It is said to be better for bone construction, etc. It would be only for the time that the calf had his ration in part of grain and milk, with little hay. Then I would do as I find am obliged to do with my pigs when fed grain alone add some source of lime outside of food materials. Indeed, bran would not meet the want. The places that I would use bran at same price as corn meal are quite limited, and would be only where small amount of meal was to be given along with poor hay, corn fodder, and straw, and even then I might prefer to use little more money in corn meal, for less corn fodder would be eaten.
 Exact experiment with me does not give bran against corn meal the high place theorists would assign it-espe- c'ally those who hold the very question :.blo belief that albuminoids are the main source of flesh, force and fat. ] should be glad to feed to young stock, or to those animals consuming poor hay or straw, some bran at say three-fourths of cost of corn meal. have answered the question as regards nutritive value alone. But bran is usually assumed to be worth twice as much as cora meal fol manure, and if out in Michigan they are ready to pay we'll for manure, particu larly for nitrogen, then would feed al the animals except milch COWS some bran, preferrirg, if butter is to be made to look for sone other nitrogenous food -PRoFEssoR J.

While two commercial travellers named

drove the buggy into the water to wash
it off, when the horse became unman-
ageable and plunged into deep water.
Mr.. Payne endeavored to cut the animal
loose, but was thrown into the water,
and, having on a heavy overcoat and
boots, was in very critical situation.
Lille Bryant, daughter Of the ferryman,
aged fourteen years, was on the other
side of the river playing with canoe.
With great presence of mind she padded
at once to the rescue; Mr.. Hariston,
with less, made her come to the bank
for him before going to the rescue of
Payne, he supposing that tho little girl
was not able to rescue Payne; but Mr..
Hariston, Selling paddle, put the boat
to turning Ground and round" and so
Payne sank. Brave Lille at once took
command, ordered Hariston to let her
paddle her own canoe, showed it to the
spot whore Payne was sinking for the
third time, and called to him as he went
down 81 Hold up your hands !" Payne's
hands were thus above the water when
his head went under, and the intrepid
girl seized them, and, with Mr.. Harris
TONS help, drew them into the boat.
Mr.. Payne, in his gratitude, desires to
educate and support the child, but Lille
is romping girl, who delights in fish
