Handy One-Armed Men.

He was big man with heavy side
whiskers and military air that. beto-
kened long service under fire; and he
was a one-armed man. The empty
sleeve that hung at his. right,side told of
glory sought and peril undergone. He
was seated in an Eighth street restaurant,
eisnrely breakfasting and going through
the motions of the meal with graceful
ease that betokened man of high breed
ing.
"Never mind the knife and fork, "he
said, as the obsenuious waiter placed
those useful implements beside the sa-
vory steak that formed the basis of the
meal:"l am already provided" So say
ing he drew from his pocket a small
morocco case and removed from it an
ivory handled instrument, highly pol
ished, that looked strikingly surgical in
its spotless brillancy. Opening this by
the aid of his mouth, and his remaining
hand he disclosed what proved TO ue u
knife and fork combined. One side was
well sharpened knife, and at the ends
were three broad prongs, that served
well the purposes ofa fork. The cutting
of the steak was done gracefully and
toroughly, aud then his breakfast egan
By this time the writer, anxious to
learn more of the devices of the one
armed man, took seat atthe same table
and ordered his breakfast. His remaaks
on the ease and grace with which the
veteran handled his conjoint knife and
fork were well received and the one
armed man willingly explained some of
the many devices that he and others
manned in the war resort to for self-ser-
vice.
"This knife and fork he said, were
among the first inventions for one armed
men and have been in use for many
years. But We llaye other devices not

A Good Recuru ,ur Farmers

There is a general dis, ontent s---~-.<-
Mrmers' sons. They dislike the plod-
ding work Of the farm. and long for the
larger life of the city, for the auicke, re-
turns and prospective wealth promised
in manufactures and commerce. But they
forget that there are always castles in
spain and that in business only the
lev draw prizes, while the manyfdraw
nlanks. They overlook the fact that a
large majority of business men fail,
While every farmer who uses his brains
as well as his hands earns a comfortable
living. & 81 =
A fact told by the late DIR. Chadbourne
president of the agricultural college at
Amherst, Mass, is worth also of consid-
erlng by the sons Of farmers. He was
an enthusiast in advocating the value
of brain and knowledge to the far
mer, and insisting that farming commu.
mites were treer from vicious tendencies
than cities
In one Of his visits, as commissions,
of prisons, to the reform school at West
boro, he asked the superintendent how
many OF the boys came from farmers
families. To his great delight the an
sWes' corresponded to his own con-
vlctlons. After careful Investigation,
the superintendent found that not q
single boy i'll the whole company had
come from farm, or was the son of a
farmer.
This is a good record for farmers, and
good reason why boys should hold to
the farm. Agricultural life is free from
the temptations common to city
homes.

The Effect of a sunstroke.

Sherman w. Platt, of Newtown, was
attacked with malaria last spring and
when hardly recovered went out to help
in the hay field. His mother thinks
that he suffered sunstroke then, for he
soon went into semi-unconscious con-
dition, in which he has since remained.
He has not spoken since Christmas.
Twice day he rouses from what seems
to be a sound slumher and in Il half
dazed fashion leaves his chair TO enter
an adjoining room. where the family
meals are served. He eats very little .
Mrs. Platt thinks that his face is more
bloated than formerly, but otherwise he
remains Ii, changed. He is dressed and
undressed like a baby. He was to have
been married this spring, but does not
recognize his intended bride when she
calls, and no efforts have availed to
arouse him from his stupor.-[Hartford

There is no arguing upon taste, as

than AYRSHIRE milk, and prefers Jer-
