BUrrERMILR. We have many
times urged the feeding Of SKINNED
milk to laying hens and will add that
on the farm where dairying is carried
on, the use Of butte=milk will also be
found Of great benefit and will very
sensibly inerease the egg production.
After few DAYS trial the "biddisS'
will look out eagerly for your coming
with the accustomed dish 10 hand.
Use it instead of water and the slight
ly saline quality will be beneficial.
Either buttermiik or skinned milk
are excellent. The latter. Of course,
is not as rich and f4ttening as the
former, but still contains much OF
good. Should you be keeping large
flock of hens, and the choice lies be-
tween feeding the milk to a pig and
giving il to the mems, decide in favor
Of the hens eyery time. The extra
production for one year by the milk
feed will buy all the pork yoaI fami-
ly may nesd, and make your occupa-
tion much pls~santer all round

A CURIOUS STATEMEER.-The game
of billiards was invented about the
middle Of the sixteenth century by a
London pawnbroker named William
Kew. In wet weather this pawnbro-
ker was in the habit of taking down
the three balls aud with the yard
stick pushing them, billiard faahion.
from the counter into the stalla In
time the idea OF q board with side
pockets suggested itself. A black
letter manuscript says Master Viii
liam Kew did make one board where
by game is played with three balls,
and all the young men are greatly rec
reated thereat, chiefly the young cler-
gymen from st. Pawles; hence one of
We stokes was called cannon, hav-
ing been by one Of ye said clergymen
invented. The game is now known
by the name Of 'billyard, because VIII
liam or Bill Kew did FIRST play with
yard measure. The stick Ia now
called kew or 'kue.'' Il is easy to
comprehend how 'bill-yard;' had been
modernized into billiard. aud the
transformation of kew or 'kue' into
cue is equally apparant.

Whose plighted faith in early youth,
Promised eternal love and truth;
But who, foresworn, had yielded up
His manhood to the CURSED cup,
And led her down through love and light.
And all that made her prospects bright,
And chained her there, mid want and strife

furrowed. The initials of several part
les are carved on the cheeks OF the fig

and well developed toes on each foot
and five fingers, exclusive of the thumb
on the left hand. His stature is pretty
much in keeping with aboy of his years.
The popularity of his dimensions. how
ever, is not attributed to his being so
fat, but to the enormous size of his
bones, which are much larger than
those of an ordinary man. Mr.. Moore
says that the unnatural growth of his
son began when the babe was three

He was q young man with forty

had he disappeared when man with q

the ladies and inquired OF the mother:
"Going down to the Bay?"

asked in alarm.

MADAM, George will have plenty of
business on hand. Chaps with his set
ears and full face are apt to be very
sick. Before he can get lemon for
Melvina and pickle for you he'll flop
down and call himself names and Won
der how he was ever struck on Melvina
or why he ever wanted you for moth
er-in-law. He'll heave up and he'll
heave down, and he'll wish you and

three more they were two blocks away,
