AWEsTERN actor claims that, while per-
forming as Julius Cesar" he is under
the spirit control of the dead emperor,
and does nothing of his own volition.
He is mistaken, for if great Julius were
directing the actor he would put head
on Brutus the first time they met.

the mixed article, as proven by case in
which baby fed on the milk Of one COW,
sickened and died of tubercular disease,
the cow itself dying two months later Of
tuberculosis. Had the milk of that COW
been mixed with milk obtained from a

Home Without a Woman.

In the goodness of our hearts can we
not pity the occupants of home with
out woman? Such home, how ray
less, sad and lonely! AS bereft of
charms as the rosebush without its GRIM
son roses Desolate as the desert with
out its CHEEKY restful oasis /! Free of
loves sweetest fragrance as the garden
without its darling flowers A home
without woman! AS well might dav
be without its blazing sun, or night
without its lunar and diadem of dazzling
stars Truly, are they to be pitied who
live in earth's isolated retreats away
from woman's loving charms. Thrice
blessed is he who daily basks in the sun
shiny smiles of mother, wife, or sister.
His home should be an earthly paradise,
fit emblem of the habitation beyond
the skies. Fair readers, let your hearts
go out in purest sympathy for those
poor, lone beings who have not
mothers loving counsel, a wife's holy
wooing, or a sisters twining affection.
Their homes are upon earth's desert
waste, or along the rock-bound shores.
Blot woman from existence and the
world would be in midnight darkness.
She is the light of the world, mans
brightest flower, the poets grandest
theme. Where woman dwells not, the
home is without its charms and angel of
peace. 0 man, be not lacking in woman's
praise her sweet influences are as vast
as the ocean and as high as the heavens.
Let her name be inscribed upon the
scroll of fame and every home on earth
enjoy her benighted charms. So mote
it be.-Anaicus in Cincinnati Farming

Starting q PAPER on Cheek.

During the past year several individ-
uals publishing obscure and we'll nigh
worthless sheets, and others designing
to start such, have written to persons Of
note in the editorial fraternity, soliciting
free contributions. In response to such
an application the following reply was
sent by "Bil Nye:"
"Your favor of the 7th inst, is re-
ceived. It was glad surprise to me,
because Ihad been asked to contribute q
facetious article to paper only 256 times
since the holiday annual business began
to boom. I have estimated that in case
I had complied with all these sugges-
tions would have written So, 600 worth
of gurghng mirth within four weeks.
I could not have worried through it
without having ground out at least ten
columns per day. When you come to
add my other duties you will readily see
that the exercise would at times be irk-
some. I am the managing editor of a
daily paper that requires at least eight
hours day. am also Police Justice,
with an average of five plain, undeco-
rated drunks and two assault and bat
teries per day. am also United States
Commissioner, and member Of the ves-
try of st. Matthews Church.
"Bg the time I get up and cook my
breakfast and do the housework and
bring in some coal and do some market
ing and feed the hens and deal out
$1l 90 worth of justice and write leader
or two and read few proofs and do the
chores around the office and lick few
total strangers and get my dinner and
attend vestry meeting and write ten OF
twelve columns of side-splitting mirth
on the haf-sheet and go home and hold
the baby couple of hours, breakfast is
ready, and I don't have to go to bed al
all. This saves the wear and tear of a
night shirt and keeps man out of mis-.
chief.

any light on the subject you are al
liberty to use it. 1t may do great deal

Winter Life i'm Holland. |.

In Holland the fun of winter life takes
many forms; and winter facilitates loco
motion, as the highways of summer avail
able for trek-schults become the best
thoroughfares for those who skate. In
this way directly the ice bears, visits are
made and distances travelled which can
not be done in summer; and, instead of
going round and round as we do here,
on small confined space, the Dutch
make up party and pay visit to some
neighboring town or village. A bright
winters morning is always exhilarating,
especially to those whose red particles
are doing their work satisfactorily; how
much more SO when cheerful company,
free exercise, variety Of character, and
constant change of scene all tend to
mark the day as a red-letter one; and, to
crown all, comes the pleasant sensation
of feeling deservedly tired, with nights
rest well earned. Should the frost be
sufficiently severe, q river is most inter-
esting, being on large scale and par
taking more of the character of fair,
which is the case, for instance, on the
Mas, at Rotterdam. This is very well
pictured in some of the old Dutch en-
cravings; one particularly gives an ad-
mirable idea of the whole thing, show
ing sledges; ice boats, stalls, booths
Now. the freezing of the Mas is most
uncertain; while other waters are frozen
hard, the Rotterdamerss still remain land
bound. The Mas run very strongly,
and the difficulty is for the first coating
of ice to form. When a severe frost
catches the still water during the night,
then ''once begun, soon DONE" and the
crews, who turn their births at night,
wake up in tine morning to find them
selves frozen in. The canals naturally
soon freeze over, and the trek-schult
traffic is supplanted by baggage-sledges,
large and small. Near dwelling houses
are seen the little box sledges for the
children. These are precisely the same
as the seventeenth century cont1ivances;
the child sits with just room for its feet,
and, with stick in each hand, pushes
astern and propels itself ahead. The
adult sledges are in some cases simply
gorgeous, as the opportunity affords
great latitude for form, great scope for
variety of gear, harness and trappings
They are generally rather of the swan
outline, the ''sleighers" sitting in the
body, the driver perched at the back, as
on the tail, the sweeping irons following
the curve Of the swans neck; over these
run the reins. One horse generally con-
stitutes the team, but in an old engrav.
ing three horses in single file are shown
drawing a sledge de luce. - Good

ments of electrical science is an applica-
ton in the hiving of bees when they
swarm, successfully tried by German
experimenters. It was thought by util-
izing the electric force the bees might
be stupifed for the necessary period of
time without being injured, and the
result proved the correctness of the idea
The first attempt was made upon bees
that had gathered upon trees, the insects
falling upon the ground in O kind of
trance. which admitted of their being
safely handled. The next stage in the
experiment was to capture the bees when
they were about to swarm. By intro
ducing the ends of two connecting wires
into a fully-occupied honeycomb, and
turning ON the current, the bees were
rendered inactive for about thirty min
utes, while no bad results appeared to
follow their awakening.
