How TO KEEP COOL.-Don't work
as hard as usual during the middle of
the day il iJ can be escaped.
Don't eat as much as usual. 1t isn't
necessary, and a little fasting during
hot weather pays.
Don't drink extremely cold ice water.
1t is much better to eat the ice or let it
melt in the mouth.
Don't have any fires going in the
house unless absolutely necessary. Use
cool foods and do without not drinks.
Don't wear your clothes tight. 1t
impedes the already depressed circula-
tion and is source of great discomfort.
Don't eat any meat OF butter if you
can do without them. They are heat
ing and anyone is better without them

Don't fail at meals to give preference

agreeable now N the stomach than any.

Don't walk any faster than Is neces-

as possible, as every street car fare

Of physical wear and tear.
Don't drink any strong stimulants, as
the simplest beverages, such as lemon

A Cowboy Feat.

A gentleman who came III on the
Northern Pacific road yesterday adds
another to the startling cowboy stories
Of the wild West" When the train
arrived at Aedora. the headqu arters of
the Marquis DE Morez and Theodore
Roosevelt, some ten or a dozen cowboys
mounted on their typical horses OF the
plains, we're cutting alt sorts OF sapers
and giving q sort os free show for the
ediflcation and amusement of the citi-
zens and passengers. The boys had just
come in from a round up and were flush
with money and considerably flushed
with Dakota tanglefoot. The railroad
bridge which spans the Little Missouri
at this point is at least one hundred feet
above the water. To enable footmen to
cross a narrow plank walk-not more
than two feet wide-is laid along on the
ties fsom shore to shore In the centre of
the bridge. Is requires q steady nerve
for a man to make the trip successfully
without losing his balance and falling
through between the ties 30 the river,
far below, which. of course means GER
tain death. Two Of the cowboys-more
reckless than their companions-rode
their horses upon the track at rapid
gait, and then, in single f1le, dashed
on to the bridge and made for the other
side. f1ving along the narrow plank walk
just as If they were racing across the
prairies after an obstTeperous bovine.
The spectators were thrilled with hor-
Tor, and expected to see the two daring
men dashed to death at every jump the
horses made. The riders yelled vocifer-
ously and rode with the same easy cor
fidence they always display when 1T
home on the plains. One of them was
slightly in advance Of the other, and the
passengers were greatly astonished and
their suspense greatly relieved when he
reached the other side safely and gave
a regular yell of triumph. But his COM
paniOn WAS nOS 30 lucky. He was with
in thirty yards of the end of the bridge
going at full speed-when his horse
stumbled. The rider was seen to sway
to and fro for few seconds. and make

Notes for the Farmer.

Have good fly nets.
Early rOosting is bad.
Work off the scrub stock.
Milk in any form suits hens.
Keep the calves growing rapidly.
Insufficient water may cause hens to
stop laying.
Bad smells in the stable affect the
milk and butter.
Morning milk is superior in quality to
evening milk.
EvsryTman may keep bees to forage
where they will.
It pays best not to keep steers beyond
two years old.
In most cases a self-sucking COW
should go to the butcher.
The hay crop of this country in 1882
was estimated TO be worth twenty-three
millions of dollars.
Boys don't leave the farm as often
from distaste OF the work as from forced
restraints put upon them.
The finest honey is secured by remov-
ing the boxes as fast as the comb is fl
led and capped over.
One of the heaviest losses from forest
fires Is the burning of the vegetable
mould Of the earth. This is a matter
that greatly affects tue future value Of
the land for the farmers. Less careless
ness on the part OF smokers and brush
burners would save some heavy losses
from forest fires.
Whether honey is extracted or kept
In the combs for marketing, better pri-
ces NAV he obtained by keeping the diff
ferent grades separate. This is not
necessary with clover, raspberry and
Eastwood. which are nearly alike In
their light color but It is important as
concerns the later kinds which run dar-
ker.
II r. the late weeds that escape the
last hoeing which make most trouble
IN fouling the land for future crops.
The field of hoed crops should be gone
over several times after the last hoeing,
TO render them perfectly clean Of the
late rank weeds.

HAry's Lamb on a New Principle.

MOllie had a little ram as black as a
rubber shoe, and everywhere that Mol
DE went he emigrated to.
He went with her to church one day
she folks hilarious grew to see him
walk demurely into Deacon Aliens
pew,
The worthy deacon quickly let his
angry passion rise, and gave it an IN
Christian kick between the sad brown
eyes.
This Anded rammY in the aisle, the
deacoR followed Fast, and raised his eoot
again; alasl that first kick was his last.
For Mr.. sheep walked slowly back
about rod. 'tis said. and ere the dea-
con could retreat he stood him on his
head.
The congregation then arose and
went for that ere sheep; several well-di-
rected butts iust piled them in a heap.
Then rushed thev straightway for the
door with curses long and loud, while
rammy struck the hindmost man and
showed him through the crowd.
The minister bad often heard that
Kindness would subdue the fercest
beast. "Aha?" he said, ''I'Il try that
game on yOu."
And so he kindly, gently called:
"Come, rammy, rammy, ram; to see

with kind and gentle words he came
from that tall pulpit down. saying.
'Rammy, rammy. ram-best sleepy in

The ram quite dropped its humble air
and rose from off its feet, and when the
parson landed he was behind the hind
