How to select a Profitable Dairy.

We had an interview with a man OF
much experience in cattle breeding, and
who has been trying, for the last ten
years, to select profitable dairy herd.
He has entered with much interest into
all the modern Improvements of dairy
appliances, and is good feeder. The
yield Of the herd is carefully weighed
each day, and record kept OF the but.
ter made. The quality Of the milk las
improved, and it has increased in guam.
tity; but still he is not satisfied with
the yield OF butter from the milk. He
seems to have considered the general
points for improvement, but has neglec.
ted The one essential TO the rapid i'm.
provement Of the herd, the wedding out
OF Improbable cows; or rather he has
moi adopted the only sure plan of deter.
mining the profitable or Improbable
character Of a cow-testing her individ-
ual yield and quality. Cows are dis.
posed OF when the heldsman thinks
them Improbable, but they are not
tested for the individual yield of milk
and butter. We know by experience
that general observation is very made.
quate to determine the character Of a
cow in butter dairy. She is very apt
to be sold or kept because of the quan.
lily she yields, when, perhaps, her
moderate quantity produces more butter
than another COW yielding thirty 10
forty per cent. more. lhere is no sure
crIerlan for selecting profitable butter
COW except TO set her milk separately
and churn the cream. This is the only
reliable test. More progress may be
made in selecting butter DAIRY in five
years by this individual test than in
twenty years Of general observation

A Cure for s.eepiessness.

One evening few weeks ago, l had an exaggerated form of very common experience with my baby. He never goes to bed exactly with the setting of the sun, but on the evening in question it seemed as if he really had forgotten how to go to sleep. I did not put him to bed and let him cry himself to sleep, for I have tried that once and his crying led to such a fit of coughing and choking that I was frightened and I vowed never to do so again; and so s, 9, 10 o'clock came and the little fellow never closed his eyes. I used all my arts of soothing and persua- sions. but there he sat, and laughed and cooed and watched the light and the shadows until Il o'clock came and went, and F was just at hand. Something must be done, and I could think of noth- ing, unless possibly wet cloth on the head might have a soothing effect; at least it would do no harm to try. I took piece of canton flannel, large enough when doubled to cover the whole head, and wrung it rather dry out of warm water, then put it closely over the baby's head so as to cover both ears and eyes. The effect was wonderful. There was a brief struggle, then perfect quiet, and in less than five minutes the little fellow was sound asleep. Since then I have tried it again and again, and always with the same result. It is simple reme- dy for sleeplessness and well worth knowing and trying.-Baby- hood.

He Got His Drink.

4 travel stained rounder hoated into the city Saturday; he was a drinking man, and the long dusty ride and occasional foot-races with brakemen en route rendered Giles McMullin very thirsty. So be walked into "barrel- house" and pulling out q black, opaque glass quart bottle, handed it to the dispenser of alcohol, and loftily told him to fill it with "suthin' y real good and strong.
 All right, sir" said the seller of annihilation, with rather dub ious smile, and turning on the spigot of one of his barrels, filled the bottle to the neck.
 Mir Giles McMullin watched the gurgling current of happiness with a complacent countenance.
 Fifty cents, please" said the liquor-man, as he corked the bottle.
 Say, boss" chirped Giles, I've only got 15 cents.
 70, -" said the man of liquor, and he wrathfully poured the nourishment back into the barrel. Here take your bottle and don't come monkeying around here again." he added, and tossed the bottle to Giles.
 Then Mir. McMullin carefully put the bottle in his pocket. Walking to the Metal yard he sat down, and drawing out the bottle he pushed a stick down through the neck. Then he took real good swallow and lay down to sleep on a pile of pig iron. There was big sponge inside that bot tleI

"Reminiscences of Lincoln.


 Ben Perley Poore.
 Judge David Davis used to take delight, when he was senator, Tn relating his adventures during the fourteen years that he was Judge of the Eighteenth judicial circuit of Illinois, from 1S4S to the fall of 1862. During this time no term of court was lost by the judges absence, for neither bad roads or swollen rivers detained him. The life had hysical hardships, but they were softened by scenes at the wayside inns. On the Wabash the Judge met Dan Voorhees,, Joe P. Mcdonald, Richard W. Thomp- son, John P. Usher and other mas. ter spirits of the western bar. The lawyers often slept two and even three in bed after an even ing of social enjoyment.
 Lincoln was usually the star at these circles. His inexhaustible good humor, quaint sayings and "reminiscences kept the party in a roar of laughter. The Judge was great reader. His saddle bags were filled with historical and biographical works. The Waver- ley novels and David Copper field" were read with delight. Lincoln seemed to take no pleas ure in reading. He glanced at the Waverley novels and re- marked that he would read them when he became older. He studied human nature and was man of practical observations. He also developed mathematical turn of mind. II remember" said Judge Davis, "that while nearly all the lawyers on the circuit were in ecstasies over Macaulay's history, then just published, Lincoln was absorbed in the study of Euclid. Night after night he spent over the problems, and finally demon strated all of them without the least assistance"
