ing, when they net ct breakfast,
Blackwell said; 81 Rave made up my
mind what you ought to do; give your
so l.in-law one-fourth of the farm, keep
the remaining three-fourths, and do
not part with any portion OF your
capital and stock, and work the re-
manning three-fourths with it. Do
it better than you have hitherto
done, and your income will be rather
increased than diminished" His
friend followed his advice, but at the
end of two or three years another
daughter would be married, and the
perplexed father again resorted to his
friend Blackwell for advice under this
new difficulty. Blackwell coolly said
he had watched his proceedings and
seen their results; he must do in this
case as he had done before; he must
give up another fourth of his farm,
and keep the original capital and
stock. The father seemed somewhat
puzzled, but as the first experiment
had succeeded, he determined to try
it in this case also. Last of all the
youngest daughter was to be mar
ried, and, in utter despair, the poor
father paid another visit to Dishley to
explain his perplexity. "Well," said
Blackwell, tell me honestly whether
your income has diminished by hav
ing your farm reduced one-half?" The
father acknowledged hethought it had
not. "Then," said Blackwell, "you
must give up another fourth of your
farm, and keep the remaining ESQ
acres for yourself, and, to tell you the
truth, you will then have inst such a
farm as your stock, your capital and
your head are fit for, and will be a
better and happier man than ever"
Old Blackwell used to tell this story
with great glee, and declared his friend
left as much stock and capital upon
the $50 acres as he ever had upon the
1000, and, as he believed, made a
better income out oft. This may be
a somewhat exaggerated statement,
but OF this | am sure: a small, we'll
cultivated farm will make better re-
turn than large, ill-cultivated one

Who Have Won Fortunes and What Tn
Say About Stage Life.

From Stage Whispers.I
BILLY" Emerson has recently made
phenomenal success in Australia, and Is
rich.
Emerson was born at Belfast in 1916
He began his career with Joe Sweeney :
MINISTRIES in Washington in 1857. Later
on he jumped into prominence II connec-
ton with Newcomb's MINISTRIES, with whom
he visited Germany. He visited Australia
in 1874. and on his return to America
Joined Haverly's minstrels IN San Francis
co at $500 week and expenses. With this
troupe he played before her majesty, the
Queen, the Prince of Wales, and royalty
generally. After this trip he leased the
Standard Theater, San Francisco, where
for three years he did the largest business
ever known to minstrelsy. In April last he
went to Australia again, where he has
beaten the record
Billy is a very handsome fellow, an ex-
celent singer, dances gracefully, and Is a
true humorist.

Emerson has grown rich on the boards
and so has Primrose, because they have not
squandered the public's ''favors.'

Sand Bag for the Sick Room.

One of the most convenient articles
used in sick room is sand bag.
Get some clean, fine sand;;' dry it
thoroughly in kettle on the stove.
Make bag, about eight inches square,
OF flannel, fill it with the dry sand,
sew the opening carefully together and
cover the bag with cotton or linen.
This will prevent the sand from sitting
out, and will also enable you to heat
the bag quickly by placing it in the
oven or even on top of the stove.
After once using this you will never
again attempt to warm the hands or
feet of a sick person with bottle OF
hot water or brick. The sand holds
the heat long time, and the bag can
betucked up to the back without hurt
ing the invalid. 1t is a good plan to
make two or three of the bags and
keep them on hand, ready for use at
any time when needed.

ly mashed, the engine having driven
his tusks clear through it. / found
Jumbo on his feet where be had been
rolled down the bank away from the
railroad and had to skin him as he
stood. His hide weighed l, 537 pounds
and his bones 400. We cremated
his tesh-the first cremation in Cana
da. 1t took four and half cords of
hard wood and two days time to con-
sumo the flesh. His skin was torn
little and his back somewhat injured.
We are mounting the skin and skele-
ton IN Rochester. We had to erect a
special building in which to do the
work. Jumbo was unlike the ordinary
elephants, which are big and round
and with oval backs. He was more
ike French horse with a followed
out back, standing very high at the
shoulders. His head was drawn out
at the tusks and the forehead more
curved than the Indian elephants. 1t
will taxi three months and 81, 900 to
mount N. We have to build a
wooden; plant, like that at Coney
Island, 10 frame, and keep shaping
IL until II exactly gives the right form
with the skin upon 1t. The frame has
to be made strong with heavy iron
rods and bolts TO prevent accident in
travel. Two special cars are being
built for the nOw double Jumbo. After
a year abroad, his mounted skin Will
rest at TUFTS College and his skeleton
at the Smithsonian Institution, Wash

4 Man Attacked by COyOtes.

r rom the Dayton new Times.
Heretofore coyotes have been re-
garded as harmless, but the experience
OF Senator Walker last week CONTRA
diets this theory, and shows that
when rendered desperate by hunger
they will not hesitate to attack any
thing. The senator left the Oreana
Mine, OF which he is superintendent,
late in the evening of Saturday last,
intending to inspect tht road leading
to the coal pit of the company on
Walmsley Gulch. The road from the
mine to the gulch leads through dense
patches of pine and tamarack trees,
interspersed with sage brush and
grease wood. 1t was while passing
through one of these dense thickets
that the senator was suddenly sur
rounded by a pack ofhowling coyotes.
Quickly dropping leg of mutton he
was taking to thecoal pit, the senator
soon found himself perched in the top
most branches of small nut pine
tree, which fortunately happened to
be near at hand. Although as brave
as lion and in possession OF trusty
Winchester rifle, the senator's indigna-
ton was so great that he could hardly
maintain himself IN the tree, especial
ly when he imagined he could hear the
snarling brutes trying to climb up to
HIM. Finally, however. his trusty
rifle began to speak and dead coyotes
soon covered the ground. After ex-
hausting his shots the senator was
compelled to sit in the tree top and
watch the pack fight and snarI over
the bones of the slain until daylight,
at which time he was happily rescued
by party of hunters from Virginia
CITY.

A Mining Camp in 40.
From the Mining Camp.


The mines put ali men for once upon
a level. Clothes, money, manners,
family connections, letters of intro
ductiOn, never before counted for so
little. The whole community was
given substantially an even start in
the race. Gold was so abundant, and
its sources seemed for time so mex
haustible that the aggrandizing power
of wealth was momentarily annlhi-
lated. Social and financialinequalties
between man and man were together
swept out of sight. Each stranger was
welcomed and told to take pan and
pick, and go to work for himself. The
richest miner in the camp was seldom
able to hire a servant; those who had
been glad to serve others were digging
in their own claims. The verlest
greenhorn was as likely to uncover the
richest mine in the gulch as was the
wisest of ex-profesSors of geology; and,
on the other hand, the best claim on
the river might suddenly "give out"
and never again yield a dollar. The
poorest man in the camp could have
a handful of gold dust for the asking
from a more successful nelghbOr to
give him another start and help him
S'hunt for better luck" No one was
ever allowed to suffer; the treasure
vaults of the Sierra were too near and
seemingly too exhaustless. ''To a
little camp of 184S"-so an old miner
writes me-''a lad of Is came one day,
footsore, weary, hungry and penniless.
There were thirty robust and cheerful
miners at work in the ravine, and the
lad sat on the bank watching them
awhile in silence, his face telling the
sad story OF his fortune. At last one
stalwart miner spoke to his fellow,
saying: Boys, III work for an hour
for that chap if you will At the end
of the hour 500 worth of gold dust
was laid in the youths handkerchief.
The miners made out a list OF tools
and necessaries. You CO. they sad,
and buy these and come back. Well
have a good claim staked outforyOu.'
Then you We got to paddle for your
self.''' Thus genuine and unconven-
tional was the hospitality OF the
miners camp.

THE RURAL HOME.
Mnfhar,a Old Hymn.


Through the trembling folds of twilight dim
| can hear the strain of that grand old hymn
Which mother, whose heart is now still and cold,
Sang amidst her cares in the days OF old.
There was something about it, underlined,
That charmed into quiet the troubled mind
Ger the bleak hearts breathed with "A spirit
bland,
Like a warm south wind DER a frozen land.
And browning il all with a strange, deep chord,
Like the throb of the heart of the blessed Lord,
That shed through the fainting soul abroad
A sense OF the pitying love OF God.
The songs OF the singers that fame has crowned
In the food of the years are lost and drowned;
But mothers old hymn, every pause and tone,
With the growth Of time has the sweeter grown.
And il seems not out of the past to come
An echo only Of lips that are dumb
But down from the home Of the glorihed
1t has always come since the day she died.
We know not the music that spirits hear
As earth is receding and heaven draws near,
But treading death valley OF shadows dim
l ask but to hear my mothers hymn.

a CONFESSION upon cribbing in col
leges has revealed dark and devious
ways in education. One man is said
to squeeze through a tight place by
writing memoranda on his polished
boots and rubbing chalk into the
marks. Trade dollars, smoothed on
one side and inscribed with memo
randa, aid the cribber. Another
method is a paper in the sleeve, kept
out OF sight by an elastic, and drawn
forward when needed. Writing on
sleeve cuffs has fallen into disuse.
But the happiest invention is a
series of pockets ali the way down the
trousers legs, in which may be slowed
away the greater part of a textbook.

Poultry Management.

The moulting hens should by all
means be separated and kept in yards
by themselves 1t would also be a
good plan to put the young, growing
pullets with them.
Those specimens should be selected
which the keeper intends to use for
breeding purposes next season, and
special care should be taken in max
ing up the breeding pen, selecting only
the very best and promising speci-
mems.
Weed out all the culls and surplus
roosters, which cannot be sold to good
advantage, and send them off to mar
ket together with all the old fowls, if
any are on hand, for they are never
very profitable stock to keep after the
second year. Early PATCHED pullets
are tar superior to two-year-old hens
Clean up the hen house, and get it in
good shape for the cold weather. Fix
everything in good order so that there
will not be any changes made early in
the spring, as it is very desirable to
have the hens sit early and bring off
early broodS of chickens. Early hatch
ing is the foundation of success in
breeding poultry OF any kind. Late
Matched pullets seldom amount to
much the following season, and are
not fit to breed from as they are not
well developed. Their eggs will not
produce as strong, healthy chicks as
those coming from older hens.
Ventilation is absolutely necessary
and is essential to health. Unless a
poultry house be well and properly
ventilated fowls cannot bekept healthy
for any great length OF time.
Very young ducklings are tender at
first, and should neither be allowed to
go into cold water nor be exposed to
chilling winds while they are under
twenty days old. Such exposures
cause cramps and they often die sud
denly from these causes.
Select the best shaped and largest
eggs from the best layers for Matching.
The best absorbents to strew under
the floor and under the roosts are dry
muck, plaster of paris and road dust.
Clear coal oil will, if properly APP
piled, cure the worst cases OF scaly
legs. 1t is also sure death to lice and
may be safely used on fowls and chick
ems of all ages, except sitting hens and
very young chicks and turkeys. There
is nothing gained by mixing the oil in
grease or sulphur.-POuItry Journal
