A Prize Baby.


On an Atlantic steamer bound for New
York, year ago, the usual entertain
ment for the benefit of a Liverpool char
ity was projected. There happened to
be on board good many profession
ais" actors and singers, who all prom
ised to take part, except one, who kept
aloof, and stubbornly declined to assist.
AS he was the star most desired, every
effort was made to change his mind, and
the committee of arrangements at last
applied to Mr.. P. T. Barnum (who was,
as usual, an inconspicuous passenger),
and begged him to labor with the re-
luctant singer. Mr.. Barnum undertook
the mission, and after stating the case
and making his appeal, somewhat to his
surprise the man Mt once assented.
"I refused all these people," he said,
"and I dislike exceedingly to take part
in this sort of entertainment, but if you
ask me, Mr.. Barnum, I cannot decline.
1 am glad to do anything that will please
you.'
MIR. Barnum felt much complimented,
but protested little, when the man
continued:
"You did me great favor once, Mr..
Barnum, and 1 never have forgotten it.
You may not recall it, but am under
great obligations to you"
Why" hesitated the great Snowman.
81 must confess that I don't recall-I
don't remember any circumstance, and
yet your face is familiar. 1 haven't for
gotten that. Where was it we met?"
ooh! it was thirty years ago, Mr..
Barnum. TOOK the first prize IN you,
first baby shoW. I've always felt CRATE
full to you."

infested with these parasites, and es.
pecially rats and mics. To prevent tri.
chlnous swine it is highly important to
cut OF all the sources of the disease in
the diet of these animals.
The Germantown Telegraph says:
Peach leaves are poisonous, and often
prove fatal when eaten by animals. The
leaves are said to contain prussic acid,
and number of instances are recorded
OF sheep being killed by eating them.
Instances have occurred in which cattle
and sheep have been poisoned by eating
the leaves OF the wild cherry, 1t has
been said that the leaves of the culti-
waited cherry are free from poison until
they have wilted; but cases have been
known in which the green leaves have
proved poisonous and fatal to animals"
MANAGEMENT, says sensible writer,
ls the cheapest and most practical ma.
nure on the farm. The common plan is
to have but one pasture, upon which
cattle must Craze at all times. If it
comes to the bare sods during seasons
OF extreme drought the stock must con-
tlnue to grab away ut the sod for want
of better food. This exposes the roots
OF the grass to the sun and Injuries or
destroys the plant. Suppose we should
use our trees and shrubs in that way,
the detriment to growth would at once
be apparent. Good management with
grass Is as necessary as with trees.
A MARKED feature of rural life in Eng
land, at the present day, is the supsti-
tuition of permanent pasturage for till
age. Year by year the disproportion
between titled and untitled land be-
comes greater. In the whole of Eng
land there are upwards of $4,000, 600
acres, and of these in 1870 upwards of
100000 acres were laid out in perm7-
nent Pasturage. In 1880 the untitled
land had increased to 11,000,00O acres,
and the increase is now maintained at
the rate of 100000 acres per year.
Taking the whole of Great Britain the
increase is even higher, II, ,073, 900 acres
only being untitled in 1870, as compared
with IA, ,s21, 900 in 1882, whilst in Ire
land the change is still more marked.
This is owing to foreign competition in
the cereal crops.
