Mary had a Little Goat.

That history repeats itself is frequent
ly remarked, and the incidents which
confirm this statement are always full of
interest to the inquiring mind. 1t is,
therefore, pleasant to record the fact
that the instructive narrative of Mary'S
little lamb, the truth of which certain
~iconoclasts have affected to discredit,
has recently gained support from an oc-
currence which happened in this city.
The other morning, on one OF the princi-
pal streets of the Back Bay,'a young and
attractive woman was observed tripping
along, attended by a goat, from whose
neck dangled an end of rope, which he
had probably broken in order to follow
her. When she attempted to get away
from her humble admirer by running,
the goat ran too, and when she walked
slowly, in the hope that he would pass on,
he also put on the brakes and ambled
along quietly by her side. Then she ran
up the steps of a house, but the sure
footed descendant of crag-scaling ances-
tors was at the door as quickly as she,
IDENTIFY enjoying the exercise. Finally
the young woman made a feint of run
ming down the steps again, at which the
his momentum carried him half across
the roadway, %whereupon the subject of
his attentions nimbly slipped inside the
door and shut it again just in time to
prevent him from charging joyously into
the front hall. At this the goat pranced
around for awhile, as if meditating an
assault upon the panels, but he oon
thought better of it, and retired to the
back lots in search of an old circus pos.

III WIFE.
OHIO

Up In the morning at break of day,
The whole year round. is the farmers wife;
For every season some duty brings,
And with care and toll each hour Is rife.
Through the gladstone, budding days of spring,
Through the months when the summer bios
SONS glow,
Through the autumn, rich with its fruit of
gold,
No rest can this busy housewife know.
Up in the morning, yet naught to her
Is the glowing, rosy-tinted east;
And naught are the robins ringing notes,
As he calls his mate to the cnerry-feast.
The brook goes singing on its way,
The breeze is balmy, the woods are green,
But morn comes curly, and eve comes late,
And Care and Duty lie between.
Up in the morning-no farmer waits
For a laggard wife when the fields are red;
And after 1.-The haying" the grain is ripe,
And the corn is soon to be harvested.
And the outdoor work AMI the healthful
breeze
Give such zcSt to the farmers appetite
There is need to boil, and bake and roast,
From dawn till the stars are out at night.
Then the lads and lasses must never think
Her heart Is merely on lcOTf intent;
She must lift their hopes above the thought
That life is only for labor meant.
She must take them up to the top of the hills
Where a broader and grander horizon waits.
And give them q glimpse of the life that thrills
Beyond the narrow farmhouse gates.
The busy world is a scaled book,
Within whose covers she may not glance;
Yet hers is a generous sacrifice,
Who lives another's good TO enhance.
And when the struggle and strife are DER.
And, done with earth, she lies at rest,
No sweeter words can be said than these,
Her sons and daughters call her best"

Waiting in England.

Since the peace of 1915, from which
period-or, indeed, from a few years
earlier-Miss Mitford's correspondence
dates, remarkable changes have, indeed,
taken place in English society. One of
her most intimate friends, Sir w. Ell
ford, had undertaken a crusade against
waltzing. which he was sure 'would
never be tolerated in this country unless
the moral feeling of the country had I'M
dergone a change" While Byron at
tackled it in a famous poem, Sir w. Ell
ford wrote in prose a satirical history of
its origin. Everybody condemned it,
and Miss Milford, of course, among the
rest. 1t danced itself into fashion all the
same, and that very rapidly. 1t was the
first innovation introduced into England
from the Continent after the great peace;
and there was significance, no doubt, in
the welcome it met with, as foreshadow-
ing the acceptance of others from the
same quarter.
1t seemed as improbable in those days
that the waltz would w become a
~favorite and even a popular dance in En-
gland as that the system of ranking let
tiers would go out, or that America would
come t O be looked upon as a country
which well-bred English people could
visit without fear of being shocked.-St.
James Gazette.

teresting statistics showing the money
value of the expectation of swine and
their products-pork, lard, bacon and
hams-compared with that of cattle,
horses, mules, sheep and polltry, for
the years 1890. The total value Of
the expectation of the latter is placed at
S1O5, $40, 1872, while that of swine is
shown 10 be S1S6, OS7, 726. This is a.
pretty strong showing for the swine
breeding business of the country as a
wealth-producing industry.

An inexpensive Relish for stock.

Stock men of large experience appre-
ciate the need of salt for stock and usu-
ally make such provision that animals
under their care are daily provided with
this relish. There are, however, many
farmers who look upon salt as a luxury
enjoyed by their stock when placed
within reach, but not necessary to their
thrift or comfort. Observation and ex-
perience have proven to those who have
given most attention to the subject that
cattle require for best results the salt
they crave.
The French Government at one time
commissioned a number of practical and
scientific men to Investigate the subject
of salt as a relish for stock and ascertain
the quantity required for different ami
mails. While only approximate figures
could be arrived at in the numerousex ak
periments made to settle this matter a
scale was fixed upon by this commission
as the minimum daily allowances for the
different animals in ordinary condition.
in this q working OK or a mich cow is
allowed two ounces of salt per diem.
Repeated trials appeared to proved that
the amount specified produced in mich
COWS the greatest flow of milk. Oxen
fed the same amount presented sleek
coats, while others receiving no salt were
rough, NANCY and ill-conditioned. The
scale in question allowed for fattening
Stalled oxen two and a half to four
ounces of salt per day and for fattening
pigs from one to two ounces For sheep,
from one-half ounce to two-thirds of an
ounce was allowed. One Inc was set
down as the daily portion for horses and
mules.
The figures given above possess a prac-
teal value to feeders of stock, in that
they represent the respective amounts
best calculated to produce desirable re-
suits in the different animals named and
give an idea of the amount required by
each kind. On small farms with few
animals salt can be dealt out in small
quantities each day, but where herds and
fiocks are numerous, salt boxes and
troughs become a necessity and are in
any case a convenient and economical
arrangement. These troughs or boxes
ought, OF course, to be in sheltered places
and at points where animals a have
daily access to them. Some should be
placed a. elevations to suit horses and
cows, and others set within reach OF
sheep.
A plan in favor in the far West and
which recommends itself on the ground
.f economy, is mixing salt and hardwood
ashes in equal proportions. combined
with a sufficient amount of water to make
a solid lump or mass. These Jumps are
distributed in the trough, where, with
diligent licking, each animal gets asmall
quantity, the belief being that they will
take in this form no more than they
really require. In addition to the fact
that salt is necessary to the thrift of ami
mails, a strong argument in its favor in
localities where cattle and sheep are al
lowed extended runs during the day is
that it proves a strong attraction, bring
ing them home at night without other
inCentive.-N. Y. World.

CAQuloid.

Oelluloid is o composition Of fine tissue
paper and camphor, treated with chem
icals by q patented process. A rather
common impression that it contains gum
cotton is a mistake, which arises from
c~onfounding it with collodion. Cellu-
loid, it is said, is entirely non-explosive,
and burns only when in direct contact
with fame. When crude it looks like
transparent gum, and its color is q light
yellow-brown. It can be made as hard
as ivory, but is always elastic, and can
be nodded into any conceivable form.
With equal ease it can be colored in any
tint desired, the dye running through the
entire substance, and being, therefore, in.
effaceable.
Large amounts are used for combs. of
every variety, for the backs of brushes
and hand mirrors, and for all kinds of
toilet articles for which ivory has been
employed. Among many other articles
in which celluloid takes the place of
ivory or India rubber are whips, n
and umbrella handles, every kind of
harness trimming, foot rules, chessmen.
and the handles of knives and forks.
The freedom of celluloid from sulphur.
and the natural flesh color which can be
impaired to it, have caused it to be ex-
tensively substituted for India rubber in
the manufacture of dental blanks or the
gums or other attachments of artificial
teeth, and is superior for pencil cases,
jewelry, ETC., where gold mountings are
used, as it does not tarnish the metal.
Celluloid can be notified so as to imi-
tate the finest tortoise shell, and in this
form it is used for combs, card cases,
cigar cases, match boxes, pocketbooks,
napkin rings, jewelry, and all kinds of
fancy articles. Instead of amber it is
made into mouth-pieces for pipes, cigar
holders, and musical instruments, and is
used as the material of flutes, ~fageolets,
and drum sticks. For drumheads it is
said to be superior to parchment, as it is
not affected by moisture in the atmos-
phere. As a substitute for porcelain
celluloid is used for dolls heads, which
can be hammered on the floor without
danger of fracture. Beautiful jewelry is
made of it in imitation to the most elab-
orately carved coral, reproducing all the
shades of the genuine article.-Ou

Bound to Succeed.

A worthy American family in this city
were in straitened circumstances for
some years because of the protracted
illness of the husband and father, who
died few months ago. Since then two
of the boys, who earn small wages, have
supported the family. On Wednesday
a city missionary called upon the mother
and told her she could have a Thanks
giving turkey by sending to a place
where she stored her supplies. The
turkey was not sent for, and upon inquiry
beingmade for the reason, the reply was
that the boys, while they had been willing
to accept necessaries heretofore, were
now able to earn them, and although not
able to buy a turkey they had made ar
engagements for a comfortable dinner,
and did not care to accept luxuries at the
hand of charity. Those boys will succeed
in life.-Boston Trdueller.
