viii you make room In your valuable pa

had quite nice rain on Sunday afternoon,
and the crops are very much improved since.
They had been suffering very much for the
want of it. But now there Is fine prospect
for rumnnerative crop this year. Thresh-
ing Of wheat going on very lively this time,
but il seems that some people can't get their
wheat threshed. There Is a great deal Of CON-
plant about threshers. think that Mr.. Daw-
son is doing very well with his steam thresh-
er; all the farmers are anxious to get it. A
few Sundays sgo | saw a young gentleman
and lady out buggy riding and the young man
was SO bashful that he could not look at any
one. think he had better not take any more
young ladies out riding until he acquires lit
tie more confidence. Sunday seemed gala
day with the young gentlemen in this neigh
6orhood, for they all seemed to have the court
ing fever upon them. A young man Of this
neighborhood was thrown from his horse las,
Friday and had his wrist very badly sprained.

The Mice and the Tran.

Up in the garnet in our house there
used to be lots of mice. But they never
were any trouble until one day papa put
some corn there to dry so that he could
use 1t to plant in the spring. When he
went to look at it, not long after, he
found that much of it had been carried
off by the mice.
So he told me that he would give me
penny for every mouse l would catch.
| was delighted, and immediately got
our old trap, put some cheese in it and
placed it in the garnet.
The trap had but two holes, and so
could catch but two mice at time.
But thought that a great many, when
for three mornings | had found the trap
full, and had been paid six cents for the
mice. l thought how rich I should be
if found two mice in the trap on every
morning for a year. But it did not hap
pen so, unfortunately for me.
One morning when [ went to look at
my trap found it sprung and the
cheese all gone, but there was no
mouse. | set the trap again, and the
next morning it was the same way
trap sprung, but no mice and no cheese.
l told papa about it, and he was so niue
surprised that he said he would watch
for the mice the next night and find out
how they did it. ......
Well, he went up to the garnet long
after | had gone to sleep. First he
heard little squeak, then in the bright
moonlight he saw little gray mouse,
with large ears and bright eyes, looking
out from behind barrel Then the
little fellow came out, looked around to
see that there was no danger, and then
gave another little squeak. when three
or four more came out, and all went to
the trap, peeked into it, and saw that
there was more supper for them. But
they did not any of them put their
heads in to eat it. The largest mouse
put his tail into the holes, and, hitting
the cheese, sprung the trap; then he
pulled out his tail, got the cheese and
shared it with the others.
They all seemed quite happy in think
ing now nicely they were cheating that
little boy whom they saw so carefully
setting the trap to catch them.-Our
Little Ones.

Concerning the WeIIand Canal.

Few Americans have any idea about
the Welland Canal. l looked at this
new achievement of the Canadians last
week; the Great Western Railroad of
Canada runs beneath the canal by
tunnel; the old Welland Canal, which
is still used, lies some two or three
miles to the west of the present one.
The old canal was towpath concern
and did not admit q steam tug colnci-
dent with the vessel The new canal
has fourteen feet of water when there is
high water, but in summer drouth it is
said to be less than fourteen feet. 1t is
a magnifcently constructed work, and
excites surprise that the Americans
should have permitted the Canadians to
anticipate them. Yet it will be OBJ
served that the facilities for this canal
through Canada are much better than
through the United States. The axis of
the two lakes, Erie and Ontario, passes
through Canada; the Niagara River
issues from the extreme eastern end of
Lake Erie, while Lake Ontario oyerlaps
Lake Erie considerably in Canada. tits
rather startling to see moving through
the apparently solid ground, for the
country is very high where the new
Welland Canal is built, tall, massive
ocean steamers, full rugged ships, etc.
sometimes as continuous as caravan

suppose that boy or girl or auv
other person might have two kinds Of
bad manners both at once. Some of
the people at my house talked about
this. My cousin said that if a boy
should have pig manners and bear man
nerS both he would be bad to live with
and so would a girl if she should. My
big brother said thati if boy should have
three, pig manners, and bear manners,
and donkey manners, he would want to
keep him in room by himself, and so
he would a girl if she should have
them; and said that if boy and Girl
should have pig manners, and beaH
manners, and donkey manners, and
post manners, and eock-a-doodle-doo
manners. all five, he would want to
chain them up in cages; and said that
if they should have all six kinds, pig
manners, and bear manners, and dom
key manners, and post manners, and
cock-a-doodle-doo manners, and cow-in-
the parlor manners, and be interrupt
ers besides. he would want to put each
OF them under a barrel and stop up the
bungholes. do not believe he would
stop up the bungholes, for then they
could not get air to breathe. My moth.
er does not believe anybody could have
so many kinds of bad manners and ba
alive. Once my mother went some
where to stay and she had to come
away because the children had such
manners she could not stay, They had
bear manners and some of the other
kinds. l think it is very hard to have
good manners all the time until you get
used to having them. Hrs. 4. IL. DiGz,

He Saw Widows.

Officer Button, at the Union Depot,
picked up the other day memoran-
dunn book evidently lost by some one
attending the State fair. All the en-
tries are made in a businesS-like man
ner, and some of them are readable.
The first entry is:
''Shall take sixteen dollars with me
to the State Fair. Second-class hotel
good enough for me. Beware of pick
pockets Keep your eyes open for a
good-looking widow. View the ami
mails, and don't forgetto take two clean
handkerchiefs along"
The second entry reads:
''Fair up to the average. Saw
widow in the car going up. Didn't
seem to like my style. Somebody had
stuck me with bogus half-dollar. Saw
another widow on the grounds. Rather
too stout. Viewed the animals and was
kicked by a steer.''
Third entry-''Good attendance.
Slept on the floor. Jam On the street.
cars. Passed the bogus money off on
a boot-black. Saw widow at the no.
tel. Most too lean. Went to the the
dGeF IdSG ulgnG. odW several WIuOWS
but no chance to make an impression"
Fourth entry-'sBig crowd on the
grounds. Beat my way in. Saw a.
widow on the fence. Most too bolster
Gus for my locality. Saw horse-face.
One horse beat all the others. Viewed
the machinery and was hit on the ear
by loafer. Saw a widow viewing the
headless rooster. Mouth most too large
for my part of the State. Slept in a
barn for nothing"
Fifth entry-"Saw widow in the
post-office. Blind in one eye. No good.
Big jam. Tried to beat my way in but
couldn't. Saw horse-race. Saw a
widow on the grand-stand. Bowed to
her. Cold cut. Viewed the big OK.
Saw a widow in Honey Hall. Raised
my hat. Got left. Feel blue"
As that was the last entry it would
seem as if he gave up in disgust and
started for home. A person supposed
to be him "saw widow at the depot
Friday afternoon, and became so OBJ
noxious that she hit him over the head
with an umbrella and two or three men
reached for him with coWhide boots

s'Th7 Gentleman That Pays the Rent. .

By a careful analysis of the Treasury
reports, it is found that the hog furnishes
more export material than all the fat
cattle, all the dairy products, all the
horses, all the mules, all the sheep, and
all the poultry and poultry products
put together. While the exported hog
products for the two years of 1879 and
1880 amounted to the great sum of
$196,0S7, 726, and all the products of
other domestic animals and the live an
imals themselves amounted to only
S105, $40, 1882. making about $75, 100000
in favor of the hogs as against all and
every other domestic animal and prod
ucts from the same that found an export
market. Really, this shows well for
hog raising. How important, then. is
the hog stock in this Nation, and of the
great Northwest in particular. :
The hog multiplies fast and natures
quickly. When it is considered how
important factor the hog is in the
production of wealth, is it not little
strange that the real scientific knoWl-
edge of hogs to raise them and keep
them healthy is so little understood
AS seen above, the hog brings more
money to this Nation from other nations
than all other domestic animals put to-
gether, and yet there is not man in
America that understands the diseases
of the hog, or can cure him when he 10
sick. We think there is a field that our
agricultural colleges and veterinary doc
tors had better explsge. -~Iosga Henes
