When only little toddler, Dan
Was always his mothers right-hand-man;
Rocking tho babies Gus and Fred,
rucking them in the trundle-bed;
Ready to run up stairs or down,
DR. off on errands without frown;
Ready TO do, like a faithful son,
Whatever his mother wanted dono.
Her lghtest call he was quick TO obey;
Ready to leave his work or his play
Without murmur; and were she i'll, -,
He nursed her then with exceeding skill,
And dainty dishes for her prepared,
And for her comfort tenderly cared.
Son and daughter in one was Dan,
His mothers blessing, her righthand-man!
At twenty-ono he'd q right to plan
For home OF his own-ths loyal Dan
And choose from among the girls wifo

Mother was ailing, and needed more
Her sons assistance than ever before,
And Dan would his marriage for years defer
Ere causing one jealous pang to her.
II wishing would bring them, every boy
Would be to his mother a source of Joy,
And never grief or pain impart
To her aifectionate, faithful heart. &.
Angels above our deeds record;
Love brings ever Its own reward;
And It's never burden or grief to Dan
To serve as his mothers right-hand-man.
And she2 Why, bless you'll 80 much of Joy
And pride she feels in her precious boy
That the sound of his voice will send Il flush

And many maiden smiles at Dan,
And envies the mother her righthand-man.

Wood as Food.

Certain animals have remarkable

filed with no other food than the
needles of pines, upon which they eYi-

birds when cooked were scarcely eata-

flavor of their flesh.
1 may here, by-the-way, correct the
commonly-accepted version of popu-
lar story. We are told that when Ma
rie Antoinette was informed of famine
in the noighborhood OF the Tyrol, and
Of the Starving Of some of the peasants
there, she replied: IL would rather oat
pie-crust (some of the story-tellers say
'pastry') than starve." Thereupon the
courtiers giggled at the ignorance ol
the pampered Princess who supposed
that starving peasants had such an al
tentative food as pastry. The igno.
rance, however, was all on the side oi
the courtiers and those who repeat the
story in its ordinary form. The Prin-
cess was the only person in the court
who really understood the habits Of the
peasants Of the particular district IN
question. They cook their meat, chiefly
young veal, by rolling it in a kind oi
dough made Of sawdust, mixed with as
little coarse flour as will hold IL togeth'
or; then place this In an oven orin wood
embers until the dough Is hardened to :
tough crust, and tho meat Is raised
throughout to the cooking-point Marie

HciFers With Their First Calf.


The practice Of some farmers OF al.

mothers cannot be too strongly con.
demned. There is no time when o
heifer can be so easily broken to milk
and made gentle COW as when she
comes in with her first calf; she then
readily accepts the situation. But Il
she has been allowed to raise her calf
without milking, she will not forget 1t,
and will be rebellious when her second
calf Is taken away, and the attempt
made to break her TO milk. Then
again, calf running with its mother
takes the milk every hour or two Of the
day, and there Is no such development
of the udder and milk veins as there
would be If she was MIXED but twice q
