An Attack Upon the "Vine."

Freund's Daily.
Beware of weak woman Beware how
you befriend her Beware how you talk to
her. Beware of intrustng her with the most
trivial secret. Such a woman is a walking
social explosive when abroad. She can
scarcely open her mouth without damaging
somebody. She does so unwittingly and
without intent, and for this is all the more
dangerous. She will give you away with
out herself knowing it. She is boomerang.
Loose her and she knocks over her best
friends. Beware how your sympathy is at
trscted by her helplessness. 1t is the help
less, pretty, leaning, clinging woman who
gets most men into trouble. She is unsafe,
because she lacks entirely the highest sense
of honor and personal responsibility. This
Is not her fault. These qualities are lacking
entirely in her composition. Belrend her
by taking on yourself any responsibility,
and the next hour some insinuating tongue
can prove to her that your motive is bad.
She hasn't sense enough to realize who her
friends are. Stand her alone and she will go
down, down, further-much further than
hundreds of her sex who, though ostracised,
have sufficient character to maintain rela-
tive standing in their own world Beware of
such boomerang She hits hardest and
goes back ON her best friends.

A Russian Legend,
Gentleman's Magazine.

Gentleman's Magazine.
The Russians in the Ukraine tell queer
story about whistling robber of olden
times who evidently was person of gigantic
proportions, for he was in the habit of sit
ting on nine oak trees at once. One of the
nicknames given to him was Nightingale"
on account of his extraordinary whistling
powers. Should an unwary traveller come
across his path, he would whistle so melo-
diousy that his victim would quickly faint
away, whereupon he stepped forward and
killed him outright. At last, however, a
well-known hero by name lila Marometz
determined to subdue the robber, and hav-
ing shot him with an arrow, took him pris-
oner, carrying him off to the court of the
Grand Prince Vladimir. Even there he
proved dangerous, for when the Grand
Prince, merely from curiosity, commanded
him to whistle, the Grand Princess and all the
royal children being present, the man COM
menced whistling IN such an overpowering
manner that soon Vladimir with his whole
family would inevitably have been dead had
not one of his brave courtiers perceiving the
danger got up and shut the whistler's
mouth.

A Wild Western Dog Story.


A very intelligent Newfoundland dog is
owned by gentleman residing in the neigh
borhood of Telegraph avenue, Oakland. The
Chronicle carrier had noticed the dog wait
ing every morning for the paper, which be
would pick up and carry into the house as
soon as it was thrown into the yard, and
thinking he would play the dog trick he
skillfully threw the paper into tall rose
bush and watched results. After contem-
plating the situation for a few moments the
dog clambered up into the bush, and Selling
the branch upon which the paper rested
shook it until the paper fell, when he
dropped to the ground and marched off in
triumph. But the dog got badly scratched
iii the operation. Next morning the carrier
threw the paper into the same tree. The
dog, evidently still sore from the scratches
of the day previous apparently had made
up its mind what it would do under the like
circumstances for with look of contempt
at the carrier, the animal trotted off to the
stable and in few seconds appeared drag
ging box along, The dog then placed the
box under the tree, climbed up on it, and
standing on its hind legs, seized the branch
of the tree with its fore paws and grabbed
the paper in its mouth. 1t then laid the
paper on the porch, dragged the box back
to the stable, returned for the paper and
took it into+he house. The carrier has con-
cluded that the dog knows more than he
does, and now treats it with the utmost re-

Over the seas came Sunfower rare,

And when they had reached Americas land,

And seemed to say, "Now here are we
From over the moaning, foaming sea,
And do you think there can aught compare
With this Lily sweet and this Sunfiower rare9"
And the men all gazed at the Lily's grace,
Aud said she is perfect in form and face;
But the women they crimped and curled their
hair
And said: "The Lily is not more fair
Than the flowers that grow this side of the sea,
And each one thought, "Only look at mel"
And the women stared at the Sunflower's hair,
And simpered: ''Ob, my, but he is more rare
Than the flowers that thrive in American air."
While the men in disgust threw back the head;

So 1t still is in doubt if the Lily he fair,

Feed the Cows Wen in Summer.

The customary loss from poor and
deficient feed in midsummer, when
grazing is the sole dependence for the
summer feed for the herd, is about two
fifths of what would have been the yield
if full feeding of green food had been
supplied through the entire season.
When herd has been permitted to
shrink from drought, it not only gives
less milk through all the remaining part
of the season, but it dries up entirely
very much sooner than when the flow
is kept right up to its maximum meas
ure all the time. Herds which are full
fed go dry on an average only about
one month in the year, while those
which suffer from drought six to ten
weeks in the hot part of the season, with
no extra feed, 60 dry on the average
about three months. Animals pinched
in the summer get poor and wanting in
vigor, SO that they donot stand the win
ter well, and yet it costs more to winter
such herd than it does fieshy one.
