A Tailor's Retort.

One Of the characters in Lord Bea-
consfield's "Endymion," named Mr..
Vigo, was intended for the famous
London tailor, Poole. The story Of
Poole is now going the rounds that,
when walking one day in Kings road,
Brighton, ''larky' young nobleman.
who had been lunching withsome friends,
determined to risk life at Poole, =
as he expressed it. So going up to ''our
Vigo,' lie loudly asked what the deuce
he meant by building such coat as
that he 1.-THE young iord) was wearing.
Tho eminent tailor merely said that he
regretted having failed to meet with his
loI dship's appreciation, and asked him to
button up the coat. This dyne, Mr..
Vigo took piece of tailor's chalk from
his pocket and proceeded quite gravsly
to mark and remark the coat well nigh
all over until IL looked like mounte-
banks jacket, and then, gravely raising
his hat. he assured his lor,lship that ii
he would call with the coat the next
time he was passing, his (Mr. Vigo's)
people would duly alter it for him. And
long before the young sprig of nobility
had hit upon retort, he was left in the
center Of a group of grinning friends. =

"Oh, horrible, most horrible,

She went down, but shortly
after returned with a frightened
countenance to inform him that
the old rufiian was fast asleep, or
appeared to be SO.
"Now take off your boots, blow
out the candle, give me your left
hand and follow me-"
They then descended slowly
and silently, trsading lightly, lest
their footsteps might be heard.
Before descending, however, the
officer grasped the revolver in his
right hand. Arrived at the iron
door, she placed his hand on the
handle, and then said, in a
whisper:
"Now. pull for your life and
mine, and God grant you
success!"
He did 80, and his powerful
effort was so far successful that
the door opened sufficiently
wide for the girl to pass through.
But at the moment when he was
also slipping through a strong
current Of air operated on the
door, and it shut with a loud
crash.
At that instant the old ruffian
jumped off his sleeping place,
pistol in hand, opened the house
door and admitted his four con-
federates, each of whom had a
pistol in hand. All this had
such a terrible effect on the off
Ger that he swoke and found
himself lying in his comfortable
bed in his mothers house. He
had had an awful dream about a
Den of Thieves.

Clean Stables.

There is possibly no more repulsive sight
than filthy constable, and one in which
dairy cattle are housed is especially offensive.
Ii has been demonstrated that cows W no are
neglected in this respect fail to yield per-
feet flow of milk and it is reasonable to sup
pose that such is the case. The richest of
food may be given them, but if their cond-
ton in the stall is neglected they will not
thrive. The foul odors of filthy barn must
necessarily permeate not only the animals
hide, but it has been proven that the meat of
stall-fed steers, who have been fattened un-
der these circumstances, will when put upon
the block and cut up, taste of the stable i'm
purities. 1t would seem. Therefore. that own
ers should appreciate the force of the old
adage that cleanliness is next to GodIiness'
land beyond the fact that they are enabled to
receive additional profits by closely watching
their stock and providing clean quarters for
them. advance even one step higher, and from
the standpoint of the humanitarian at least
treat their stock with common decency. City
consumers often detect to greater or less
extent the presence of the barn yard Odor in
their milk. Barns for the accommodation of
dairy cows should receive the same care as
those devoted to the average horse. Their
health depends largely upon their surround
ings, and reeking piles of manure with the
foul air which naturally arises therefrom are
not conducive to health nor it is possible un-
der these circumstances to furnish good, pure
wholesome milk.-Er

Hon. George Geddes thinks the time to
apply plaster to clover is after the plants
have made some growth, say after wheat
harvest on clover sown in spring. He
thinks that the plaster acts directly upon
the leaf on which it is sprinkled. In sup
port of this idea he claims to have selected
plant having three branches of every
equal and uniform growth. each about
four inches in height. and standing out
alike from the root. On the leaves of one
of these branches little ground plaster
was carefully applied with a pen-knife.
In three days rain came. In a few weeks
the leaves and stalks of the plastered
branch were nearly twice as large and
rank rs those on the same plant not plas-
tered. Is not this subject worthy of
further investigation
