Regarding Permanent Grass.

1t is great fact always true, now as
in ancient times, that old things pass
away and new things take their place.
The man, whatever may be his place
and his peculiar work in life, who thinks
that the present exhibits all the perfe T.
ton that is possible in methods, prac-
tees and results, is most unwise, and
stands as a serious obstacle in the path
of his own progress. American agri-
culture is mostly based upon the cardi-
nal principle that permanent grass is an
impossibiiity, and that it is indispensable
to seed land with grass with great pains
and after two or three years to destroy
all the work and plow up the land for
four or five years preparation for re-
seeding. And all this in the face Of and
in spite of the fact that our best grass
lands are those which have never been
plowed, but which have been seeded
without blowing when the original for
est was first cut off nearly century
ago, and also of that other one, that our
greatest supply of beef IS now grown
upor grass lands which have supported
vast herds of wild cattle for centuries
and have never been turne4 by the
pillow. ~ r. Times.

KILLING SHEEP.

The Proper Way OF Preparing Mutton for
Home Use or tho Market.
A sheep improves in flavor with age,
and they are never too old as long as
they are healthy and fat. In fact. they
must be two years old or more before
they make what is called ''red mutton"
that is, mutton which when cooked done
has red gravy. 1t is best before killing
to let the sheep remain twelve hours
without food, having plenty of water.
Then, everything being ready. cut the
sleeps throat close to the jaw and
head to the bone. inserting the knife
into the spinal column of the neck to
insure quick death. The hind quarters
should then be skinned, as they are
easily reached; gammon-stick is then
inserted to the sinews of the Eock, when
the sheep is suspended and the skinning
completed. Next the intestines should
be quickly taken out, which prevents
the wool taste so often mentioned by
haters of mutton. This taste comes
from an infusion of the excretions into
the circulation after the vital powers no
longer prevent it, as the sheep has the
long intestines of ruminants. In
killing game, experts always take out
the intestines at once for the same rea-
son. The carcass of mutton may then
be wrapped in the woody side of .he
sheepskin without harm, as experiment
will show. The sheep may be hHng up
at once by Irvine around the hooks and
the gammon-stick, and the same opera
tons gone through. but the first process
is the best.-N y Herald

The story was told to me the other day
in rather confidential manner. and
was about this wise: Mr.. Simmons
moved his family recently from, Green
bush Heights to this city. One box
containing lace curtains and other valu-
bles was sent to Mr.. Simmons auction
rooms for safe-keeping. Two or three
mornings after its receipt Mr.. Simmons
directed one of his employees to get out
some household goods left there to be
sold. MIR. Simmons entrusted the work
to the man. and when the hour for
opening business arrived he mounted
the box as usual and took the articles
as they were handed him. A hand
some pair of lace curtains were handed
him, worth at least fifty dollars pair.
He held them out from him with an
admiring air, and said: There is
something extra fine; it seems too bad
to have to sell such articles at auction.

Simmons. ''Why, that would not pay
for laundrying them. They are worth
fifty times that sum-" The bid was
raised to three dollars and fifty cents.
Mr.. Simmons begged hard to have it
raised fifty cents more, but not a soul in
the crowd would raise to four dollars.
''Well, they were put here to sell, and
eer, knocking the curtains down ut
three dollars and fifty cents a pair.
The other contents of the box were
sold along with the articles in the room
intended for sale, and brought ''ruin.

higher price than the poor articles dis
posed along with them. Several times
during the sale the auctioneer would
stop and crack up the quality of this
or that piece of fancy work. He
thought no more of the matter until
few days later The new house was
being got to rights rapidly, and one
day when Mr.. Simmons was eating his
dinner his better half said: 'Jakc, you
can send that box of curtains and
things up this afternoon. "What
box?" "Why, that box that was put
down in the store for safe-keeping."
"By Jove." escaped the auctioneer, as
he scratched his head. That's where
those articles came from l sold the
other day. The curtains paid fifty
dollars a pair for went for three dol
lars and fifty cents" Mr.. Simmons
has since succeeded in recovery some
of his own property he disposed Of for

DINNER PHILOSOPHY.
The Human Race Divided into Four Dis
tinct Glasses.


Prof Sumner. of Yale College. di-
vides the human race into three class
es; people who work to-day to pay for
yesterdays dinner, people who work to-
day to pay for to-day's dinner and those
who work to-day to provide \ dinner
for tomorrow. But there is fourth
class quite numerous, those who do not
work ut all and eat the dinners earned
by others.
There is story of a colored barber
who reformed from hard drinking be-
cause he observed that while he, the
drinking man, bought two pounds Of
liver for his family's dinner, the man
who sold him the rum bought seven
pounds of porter-house steak. He took
the pledge forthwith. and ate the por-
ter-house ever after, instead of drinking
up the price of it.
This incident illustrates another prin-
ciple of Prof. Summers, which is, that
the only fair way for a man to get out
of the class who work to-day to pay
for yesterday into the class who work
to-day to provide for tomorrow is to
practice self-denial. s'Sen-denial, :"
says the learned professor, ''must be
our gospel if we would gain capital.
and almost any one can gain capital il
he practices prudence" So thought
the barber, and acted accordingly.-N

A PLUCKY GIRL.
She Conquers Greek and Puts Two Young
Gentlemen to Shame.

Gentlemen to Shame.
A certain very young girl living in
Middlesex county decided last summer
to try the Harvard examinations in the
autumn, with view to entering the
regular course of study in the Annex.
She betook herself, therefore, with q
trunk full of books to secluded home
in the country, and settled herself for
ten weeks hard work reviewing her
high-school studies and conquering
Greek enough quite by herself to pass
for college. Two young gentlemen pres
emily appeared on the scene, deter
mined also upoD secluded preparatory
study. When they learned that the
pretty girl with the Titan hair was
''digging" for Harvard too, they tried
to laugh her out of her ambition. One
of them, with the wisdom of twenty
years, told her it was really sin. and
altogether against nature for a seven-
teen-year-old girl to try to read Greek
alone, or to think of taking Harvard
course. The other youth declared that
it didn't matter; she'd never '.get
through the exams anyway" and both
tried to persuade her to take rides and
boating excursions. But still she stud
led faithfully and crammed her self
taught Greek until the examination
came. Then she went down to Cam
bridge and passed her examinations
triumphantly. while both the young
men failed dismally, and found them
selves obliged to study another year
before getting into college.-Bosfon
