The coffee-house experiment in Bos-

reached a profit of 81 900 a month. The
capital was furnished by benevolent
men who looked for no pecunisry re-

sold, and in the rear were billiard and
pool tables, with chairs for persons
watching the games. Cigars were sold
at the coffee counter, and smoking WAS
allowed. Overhead was a reading room
and an apartment fitted mp with tables
for games. The idea was to provide all
the social attractions Of the saloon, with
the exception OF intoxicating drinks.

Feeding Sheep.
Farming World.

Farming World.
You must not cole ct large flock OF
sheen before you get something for them
to eat and that something must be their
natural food. That food is grass-grass
that is sodded and perennial. The
stomach of sheep is small, and he eats
but little at time. and wants that little
very often, and every two or three hours;
hence he should be where he can gather
his own food. The tendency Of all kinds
Of grain and dry provender IS to make
sheep unhealthy. A little grain before
sending to the shambles is useful to help
fatten, but fat itself is d disease and
should be avoided so far as possible in
all breeding animals. Likewise should
the other extreme, namely. poverty, be
avoided. | have seen sheep degenera-
ted from poverty more in one generation
than they could be improved in two or
three. | have seen much in the papers
about sheep loving bitter weeds, briars,
sassafrss and the like, and they are good
scavengers for foul farm. My sheep
love the cultivated grasses best. | re-
member once to have killed some sassa-
fras with sheep, but also killed some
of my sheep. 1t was done by combining
them too long to the same territory, as
well as to the same food Sheep need
to have their pasture changed at least
once month. And this new pasture is
as much to force them 10 sleep in a new
place as it is to give variety of food.
No sheep can be healthy long that sleeps
on the same place and over his own ex.
crement every night.

Letter rom an Italian in New York to the
Rome Italian News.
Landing at New York by ferry-boat
is the first impression got of Americans.
To US who have no estimate of hurry
and live longer than some of these peo-
pie exist, the scene is very attractive
in one sense The ferry-boat is crossing
early in the morning, and is full OF busi-
ness men-that proud term of a country
which recognizes the dignity OF labor
and condemns our dolce far nlente. No
one waits for the chain to be lowered;
this chain oftimes protects a free PEG,
pie from going overheard. They all
lump over it, and frequently before 1t,
and frequently before the boat touches
the wharf. That is progressive young
America. And from that early hour
until the evening, when they go
back on this boat, they are
jumping over endless chains OF
commerce and coin. The great nation
of iumpersl The republic of hurry!
Young men in the prime of life jump IN

half as mercenary as she talks; in the

There are more meals spoiled for
guests by this habit than by ill-served

so soon felt and appreciated, it will be
better than costly viands with GOODNESS

the varieties that subsist on farm, no
one need feel the need for an apology or
