Freaks OF Forgetfulness.

OF all the ills to which flesh is heir,
forgetfulness is the one that furnishes
the greatest number of laughable cpl
sodes; and, while many of them are
very annoying, the mirthful feature
that is their almost invariable compan-
ion affords certain degree of compen-
sation. az Al,
Near one of our Atlantic seaports
there resides an old whaling Captain
commonly known rs Uncle Gurdon.
To keep from getting rusty, he made
his home ON the river bank, where he
could keep boat, and fish or paddle
about as he liked. The place was about
five miles from the city, and, as occasion
required, Uncle Gurdon and his wife
would journey downward for the pur-
pose of shopping. Reaching the city,
the horse and wagon would be left at
the water-trough on the Pan ade, and
each would go in different directions,
carrying their bundles to this common
receptacle, the first through waiting for
the other. On one of these shopping
excursions Uncle Gurdon made several
trips to the wagon, finding each time
that additions had been made to the
store of bundles-a sign that his wife
was busy. Having completed his pur-
chases, he unhitched his horse, and, the
ferryboat having arrived, climbed into
the wagon and drove on board. While
crossing the river one of his acqpaint-
ances stepped up and asked how he was
getting on.
We'll, I'm getting on nicely, but I'm
bothered just now
"Why, is anything going wrong?'
"No, nothing special; but came
down TO do some shopping, and I've
forgotten parcel / was to get" and
the old gentleman scratched his head
in perplexed manner.
well, / wouldn't worry You will
think of it next time" said the neigh
Dor; and the boat having reached the
landing, Uncle Gurdon drove ashore,
and went on toward home.
When nearly half way there he was
met by another friend, who stopped to
have a chat.
"How do YOU do to-day, Uncle Cur
don ?" he asked.
"Oh, nicely, nicely; though I'm bit
worried just now
"Worried what abOut?"
well, you see, I've been to town
shopping, and there's parcel of some
kind that I've forgotten. l can't think
what it is, and it bothers me-"
"Oh, never mind it. You will recol-
lect what it is before You go again. By
the way, Uncle Gurdon, how is your
wife 2"
"Jerusalem!' said Uncle Gurdon,
slapping his knee with great energy.
It's my wife that I've forgotten! She
went to town with me to do some shop
ping, and was to wait for her"
And Uncle Gurdon turned around,
and went back TO the ferry for the par
eel that he had left behind. Editors

The Solitude OF Servants.

Saw your are q well-to-do tradesman
or mechanic, you can afford to employ
a servant to make life easier for your
wife. Well, that servant lives alone.
Your wife and yourself discourage "fol-
lowers" You don't like her to have
much company Of either sex in the
kitchen. Your wife cannot associate
with her. The kitchen is her sitting
room; the smallest and most remote
room in the house is her bedroom.
From O. m. until p. m, or earlier
and later may be. are her hours OF
work. In all that time she speaks
when she is spoken 10, and she is spok-
en- when there are orders for her, just
as convicts are allowed to speak in PEN
itentiary Well, now, the lonely Great
ure in the kitchen is woman. Do you
wonder she wants to go to the Jolly
butcher and grocer's boy for little
gossip? Do you wonder that she tlirts
with the policeman Do you wonder
that when she goes to the ball she stays
until some time the next day? She sits
down three times day and eats her
meals in solitude. So utterly alone
that she can hear herself swallow.
wonder that she doesn't go mad. The
man who works at the lowest occupa-
ton has an easier time than that. The
man who cleans the street has company
of his own class. He eats his dinner
with his fellow-laborers. The rag
picker meets ragpickers every day. |

lates for company and evenings ont.

Killing Wolves With Whalebone.

Lieut.. Schwatka says that zone use Of
the whalebone to which the Esquimaux
put it, and one case which came under
my personal observation, l must not
allow to pass unnoticed. Whenever
wolves have been unusually predatory,
have destroyed favorite dog or so, or
dug up a cache of reindeer meat just
when it was needed, or in any way have
aroused the ire of the Innuit hunter,
he takes strip of whalebone about the
size of those used in corsets, wraps it
up into compact helical mass like q
watch spring, having previously sharp
ened both ends, then ties it together
with reindeer sinew, and plasta's it
with compound of blood and grease,
which is allowed to freeze, and forms n
binding cement sufficiently strong TO
hold the sinew string at every second
or third turn. This. with lot of SINH
lar-looking bats of meat and blubber.
is scattered over the snow or ground,
and the hungry wolf devours it along
with the others, and when il is thawed
out by the warmth Of his stomach, il
elongates and has the well-known effect
of whalebone on the system, but, hav-
ing the military advantage of interior
lines. its effects are more rapid, killing
the poor wolf, with the most horrible
agonies, in n couple of days"

The Home OF the Horse.

There can be no doubt that the
original home of the horse is not Eu-
rope, but Central Asia; for, since the
horse i'll its natural state depends upon
grass for its nourishment and feetness
for its weapon, it could not in the be-
ginning have thriven and multiplied in
the thick forest-grown territory of Eu-
rope, much rather should its place of
propagation be sought in those steppes
where it still roams about in wild
state. Here, too, arose the first nations
of riders of which we have historic
knowledge, the Mongolians and the
Turks, whose existence even at this day
is as il were combined with that of the
horse From these regions the horse
spread in all directions, especially into
the steppes of Southern and South
eastern Russia and Thrace, until it
finally found entrance into other parts
of Europe, but not until after the i'm.
migration of the people. This assump-
ton is, at least, strongly favored by
the fact that the further district OF
Europe is from these Asiatic steppes,
i. e.. from the home of the horse, the
later does the tanned horse seem to
have made its historic appearance. The
supposition is further confirmed by the
fact that horse-raising among almost
every tribe appears as an art derived
from neighboring tribes in the East and
Northeast. Even in Homer the OK APP
pears exclusively as the draft animal in
land operation at home and in the field,
while the horse was used for purposes
Of war only. It's employment in mil
itary operations was determined by
swiftness alone. That the value Of the
horse must originally have depended
on its feetness, can easily he inferred

A SpOrtsman's Joke.

Recently in a Yorkshire paper there appeared an account of 8 weeks sport on the estate of MT. Christopher Sykes. M. F., protesting to be by that gentle mans permission. It was said that thousands of rabbits and hares. some hundreds of jays, thrrlshes and water hens, seventeen bobcats, two stoats, three magpies, one water rat, eight cock pheasants and one hen partridge, had fallen before the guns of the sportsmen, and the bag would have been greater if large consignment of woodcocks, specially ordered from Holland, had arrived in time. MT. Sykes, having in vain demanded an apology, publishes the name of the author of this bit of fiction, who turns out to be Lord Las celles.

Fences.

In his recently published book on "Farm Fences," Professor Scott esti- mates that five dollars is invested in fences for every acre of inclosed land in Great Britain and Ireland, and that the annual maintenance of fences costs about seventy-five cents an acre. The total capital thus invested in the United Kingdom must be, at this rate, nearly $250, ,O00,0O and the annual outlay about $32, ,0OO,O ,OOO. Professor Scott be- lieves that great deal of fencing might be dispensed with to the positive advan- tage of agriculture, and that the general introduction of wire instead of wood would effect great additional saving.

Feeding and Dressing Fowls.

Mrs. Fanny Field, an authority on poultry matters, reports through The Pr0arie Farmer that she has had best success ln fattening by use of as much as the hens or turkeys can eat clean of a mixture morning and noon of boiled potatoes, beets and carrots, thickened with corn and barley meal, and whole corn at night, and milk kept by them constantly in abundant supply:
 'Ten days or two weeks of such feed ing will put fowls in prime condition for market, .. e., if they are in decent order to begin with; but if they have been half starved all summer. no amount of extra feeding will ever make them as good for table use as the fowls that have been well kept all their lives. The best market turkeys ever saw were we'll fed from the time they were twenty hours old. For the last month they were fed three times daily-cooked vegetablesAnd meal at morning and noon. and corn at night. They had all they would eat up clean each time, but no food was left in their feeding places. They had free range, but don't think they went ten rods from the buildings. When killed they were between six and seven months of age, and the dressed weight of the eighty was 1,286 pounds"
 Reasonable objection is made to con- fining in close, dark pens; give light and comfortable room for exercise, even if this humane treatment renders necessary the use of handful more of food
 "Twice we tried fattening turkeys in pens in barn cellar where it was only light enough to enable the fowls to see to eat; the cellar was dry and warm. food and drink were kept in the pens all the time, but those turkeys would only eat just enough to keep from starvation, and they actually weighed less after three weeks of confinement than they did when we shut them up. I happen to know half dozen other people who tried the same thing with the same re- suit"
 MT. D. W. Lewis takes up the sub- ject from the commercial point of view, and in recent circular reminds farmers of the requisites for securing highest prices in the New York market:
 ''Fowls should not be fed for twenty four hours before killing, as food in the crop is liable to sour and injure it's sale Bleeding in the mouth is the best mode of killing. Heads and feet should be left on. In dressing, the water should be as near the boiling point as possible, without actually boiling. Dip the bird into the water three times, holding it by the legs. The feathers must be then quickly and thoroughly removed, with out breaking the skin. Then dip into boiling water two seconds, and imme- diately afterward into cold water the same length of time. Wet dressed poul- try is generally preferred up to Thanks giving, after which time dry picked has the preference. Small fat turkeys sell best the season through, except at Thanksgiving and Christmas, when large, dry picked birds only are wanted. Geese ell best at Christmas"
