There is nothing worse for domestic
animals than to scare them half to death.
than work, more than growth of flesh
or fat, more than anything else unless
it is persistent starvation.
We have had two men working for
US, with teams, on the same farm at the
same time. One would take his horses
from the stable when they had been
refreshed by few days rest, and were
feeling we'll, and because they were
pretty frisky while they were being
harnessed, and the off horse did not
keep the furrow we'll at the first send off,
would get out of patience and yell at
his team till finally they would break
into a trot, when he would throw the
plow to the depth into the first hummock
he could find, bring the team to full
stop, and by this time they would be
well in a ''lather" and quivering with
excitement. After he had yelled for
few minutes, and the horses had be-
come fully frightened, they had used
up enough strength to move the plow
for an hour.
The other man knew better. When
he observed, while "hitching," that the
horses heads were carried high, and
that they were feeling first rate, he
would say to himself: "There is a
good head of steam on to-day, and |
shall be able to get good days work
out of these fellows if save it all to be
used to the best advantage" There
fore he would speak in as quiet a tone
as possible, would move gently about,
and aim to get his team afeld without
the risk of any rumpus or excitement,
and would bear with a few Irregularities,
such as getting out of the furrow and
pulling by fits and starts few times.
The consequence would be that when
they were warmed up to their work,
they would move on smoothly and at
the same time quickly, and at the end
of an hour there would be a row OF
nice fresh burrows to show as an equiva-
lent for the "steam" the other man had
used up his fret and fume and worry and
passion.

Hints to Chronic Buyers.

A Norristown pretentious shopper,
after bothering the clerks of dry goods
store beyond endurance, pompously
ordered a spool of cotton to be sent to
her house. Accordingly a common
dray, drawn by four horses, was pro-
cured, and four stalwart laborers, with
bare arms, were placed upon it to hold
the spool. When the team drove up to
her door everybody stared and nobody
could make out the purpose. After
deal of whip-cracking and other i'm
pressive ceremonies the car was backed
against the curb. There, reposing calm
ly in the centre of the cart, was the
spool. With the aid of plank it was
finally rolled, barrel fashion, safely to
the sidewalk, and after struggle it was
"up-ended'' on the purchasers door
step. They do say that she kicked it
into the street when informed of its ar
rival.
The processes of some of the Bristol
women in purchasing meats and other
edibles at the stores and meat markets
are highly suggestive that they have
been educated in wigwams in the far
West. A woman entered meat market
on Mill street a few evenings ago and
wanted some steak. She didn't know
what kind. A leg of fmutton was maui
ed with her unwashed hands, then she
passed to a similar inspection of piece
of beef, from this half-shoulder was
punched with her thumbs, and after
pushing her fingers into all parts of the
meat she finally bought steak hanging
on one of the hooks.

BanknOfe Paper.
Geyer's Stationer.

Geyer's Stationer.
The banknote paper on which Amer
ican legal tender, national banknote
currency, and government bonds are
printed is made entirely at Dalton,
Mass.
If you should happen to stop at the
paper mills with proper introduction and
credentials, you may perhaps be allowed
to handle sheet of the crisp paper,
where, as the wet, grayish pulp is press
ed between heavy iron cylinders, bits
of blue and red silk are scattered over
its face and silken ribs laid on its sur
face. You may go beyond into the
counting room, where each sheet as it
comes from the drying room is care
fully examined and counted and then
returned to the paper cutter to be divid-
ed into smaller sheets. If you trace this
paper still further, you will find that
from the cutters hands it passes again
into the counting room, and is separated
into little packages containing 200
sheets each, the amount recorded in a
register, and then packed in bundles
and stored in fire and burglar proof
vaults to wait shipment to the United
States treasury.
From the pulp room to the vault
the precious paper is watched and
guarded as carefully as though each
sheet was an ounce of gold. Its manu-
facture is one of the greatest secrets
connectedwith the governments money
making. From the vault of the paper
mill at Dalton to the guarded store
rooms of the treasury at Washington is
journey of several hundred miles. In
the capacious vaults of the treasury
building, among gold, silver, copper,
and nickel coins, bullion, paper cur
rency, and official records, you will find
thousands of packages of the banknote
paper made at Dalton. 1t comes in
little iron safes, such as are used by the
Adams Express Company, and each
package and every sheet is carefully
counted before the manufacturer and
express company are relieved of further
responsibility. The paper that arrives
to-day may lie in the treasury store
room for years, or it may be sent to
the Bureau of Engraving and Printing
tomorrow, to return in the course of a
months time legal tender or bank
note.

Baby's Birthday.

Mondays bairn is fair of face;
Tuesdays bairn is full of grace;
Wednesdays bairn is child of woe;
Thursdays bairn has far to GO;
Fridays bairn is loving and giving;
Saturdays bairn works hard for living;
But the bairn that is born on the Sabbath day,
Is lively and bonny and wise and gay.
Contrast with this the English version:
Born of Monday, fair of face;
Born of Tuesday, full of Gods grace;
Born of Wednesday, merry and glad;
Born of Thursday, sour and sad;
Born of Friday, godly given;
Born of Saturday, work for living;
Born of Sunday, never shall we want
