TO Make Boys Good Farmers.

The Indiana Farmer has this sensible
talk to farmers about their boys: From
the first, boys on the farm should be in
duced to take an interest in the farm, in
the stock, in the implements. and in all
that pertains to the business. Tell them
all your plans, your successes and failures
give them history of your life and what
you did and how you lived when boy
but do not harp too much on the degener-
ate character of the young men of the
present age. Praise them when you can
and encourage them to do better. Let
them dress up in the evening, instead OF
sitting around in their dirty clothes. as is
too often the case. Set an example be-
fore them of attending church on Sunday,
and such other times as are convenient,
and take them out enough in the world SO
they will not be bashfnl, awkward. or ig-
norant of the ways of genteel society.
But do not encourage strolling over the
country, iu company with other boys, on
Sunday. or allow them to 60 where they
please OF nights. They may think you a
little strict. but in mature life will thank
you. In order to interest them on the farm,
and make their lives agreeable and pleas
ant, give them piece of ground to cult
vate as their own, and allow them to have
the money tor their productions. A boy
who is industrious because he is afraid OF
being punished can't amount to much as
farmer. Such boy won't stay at home
any longer than he can help it. When
they secure money from any source which
is the fruit Of their industry, help the
boys to invest good share of it in pig,
COW or colt, and allow it to grow up on
the farm as theirs. Show them the folly
of spending their money foollshly for
everything they see, but encourage them
them to invest share of their earnings
in useful books and tools, for their instruc-
ton and amusement. Provide warm and
neatly furnished sitting and bed rooms
and brilliant lights. Subscribe for sever
al agricultural journals, so as to get them
as much interested as possible in their
occupation. Teach them industry, econ
omy, morality and christianity, and
steady, temperate habits.

A New Tlgress In Central Park.

The steamer Elbe, which arrived on
Saturday, brought Storage passenger
for the Central Park menagerie. This
was fine female tiger, which the Park
board purchased few months ago of
Carl Hagenbeck, dealer in wild animals
in Hamburg. The tigress cost $500. Dr.
Conklin said, yesterday, it would sell in
this country for $1l00. 1t is four years
old, and was captured about two years
ago by the rajah of Belgium in India
Bombay and then by the Red Sea and
through the Suez canal to France. From
Marseilles it went by rail to Hamburg last
spring. The heavy wooden box contain
ing the animal was taken from the Elbe
and placed on dray. The sunlight, as it
struck through the grating of the cage,
seemed to give her new life. During the
voyage she had kept quiet most of the
time, uttering long mournful cry occa-
sionally. While the cage was being
carried to the park she stood with
her head close to the grating, drawing
in long breaths of fresh air, but indicating
no fierceness. When turned from the
confined quarters to the larger cage in the
menagerie, she leaped quickly to one end
of her new quarters and began to pace
back and forward in way that showed
that she had not suffered by the trip.
When some fresh meat had been given
her the tigress settled down quite at home.
In the adjoining cage the male tiger
watched the arrival of a mate with marked
satisfaction. He rose on his hind feet and
stretched himself against the partition
which separated the beasts, uttering shrill
cries that startled the lion causing him to
pace his cage and roar in response. The
skin of the tigress is ruffled and dull from
her close imprisonment. 1t is abrased in
several places. but she began at once to
lick over her coat like cat after having
been fed, and in q few days the fur viii
become smooth and glossy.-Nesc York
