VALUE OF RESERVE,
The Dangers of Familiar CompanionshiT
with Comp> afiv> S<r,prors

The Dangers of Familiar Companionship
with Comparative Strangers.
Nothing is SO unnatural or full OF
danger as the habit of easy and familiar
companionship with people who are
only known under the condition of what
is called society,"" conditions which
imply mutual compliance up to GER
tain point very easily reached. conven-
ventlonal ease of manner, courteous
trankness of speech which need not be
very deep. superficial mutual intelli-
gence which seldom knows how far it
penetrates-thongh it enjoys the evil
dence of having penetrated further
than was expected-and alacrity in
discerning and complying with the
wishes of others. The danger consists in
the facility with which companionship
OF this kind is mistaken for true in
timacy. though it does not really imply
any thing approaching to it. A woman
will sometimes marry a man of whom
she knows nothing at all except that
she has found it pleasant to be tiattered
and admired by him during a compan-
lonship of this superficial kind. In
other words, she will trust her life to the
keeping of man of whose aims. of
whose standard of right and wrong, of
whose power and habit of living up to
that standard she knows just as much
and Just as little as she does of the
actors whom she has seen on the stage,
though she is deceived into thinking
that she knows more. only because
she happens in this case to have been
one OF the actors, and not merely a
passive spectator. Society is, indeed.
sort of expedient for rubbing off
the natural and wholesome reserves
which keep people from trusting
each other till they have had real
experience of what each is made
of-till they have seen what are
the objects of reverence, what is the
depth of reverence; what is the force
of practical fidelity to the higher aims
that determine the true character
working behind the familiar forms and
faces of so-called society. The surface
of the sea on i calm and sunny day is
as little of an index to the dangers
which the sea may cause. as the familiar
manner of mere society to the deeper
influences which those who mingle
in that society can exert. 1t would be
as wise to drink the deadly juices of the
belladonna because of the beauty of the
night shades flowers, rs to welcome
intimacy with many of those whose
manners in general society are fault
less and Ease mating, without knowing
any thing of them beyond those man.

Il was down in the Ute reservation
in Colorado. and had strolled down to
the shores Of small lake, while my

about dozen Indians. They were
armed with rifles, and were shooting
at snag which stuck out of the water
about two hundred yards distant. The
stakes for which they were shooting
were composed of a quarter of dollar
from each man. / stood watching
them for some time, and then decided
to enter the competition. Each man
had three shots, and the man who hit
the snag the most times won the pot

were not by any means slow. slipped
three cartridges into my rifle. and as I

had won eighteen dollars. Then the
Indians, who began to look at me with
suspicion or awe. refused to shoot any
more. invited them up to the store
and spent the money on knick- knacks.
which divided among them. then
took them back to the lake and showed
them the trick. They were very much
surprised. but took it in good part.
''On returning that way a few days

Ole Bulls Advice to u Number OF Dis
couraged Amateur violinists.
When Ole Bull. the renowned violin
tst. was staying in Paris in 1910 he re-
turned home late one evening from a
concert. and as the night was cold he
ordered his man to make fire in his
room. The latter dragged towards the
fireplace a huge box. on which the
word i" Fire-wood' was painted in
large letters In answer to Ole Bull s
astonished inquiry the servant told him
that the box had been delivered that
day at noon by his masters orders. as
he thought. On being broken open the
box was found to contain twenty-five
violins and the following letter: Great
Master: The undersigned, being men,
bers of various amateur philharmonic
societies, hereby declare that they will
henceforth cease to perform on the ac-
companying instruments. The same
wood from which Old Bull can draw
life, love, sorrow. passion and melody
is only to be regarded as-fuel for the
flames in the hands of the undersigned,
who therefore request the maestro to
make an auto-da-fe of the enclosures.
and to look upon the ascending smoke
as incense offered to his genius by PEN
itent dabblers in the noble art" This
curious epistle bore the signatures OF
twenty-five young men. Three days
afterwards Ole Bull gave a dinner. to
which he invited all the senders OF the
valuable fire wood" Each guest had
living before him on the table one OF the
violins referred to, and by its side q

THE FLYING DUTCHMAN

Aomethins About the Craft Doomed to
Cruise Till Judgment Day.
1t is fact not generally known that
the Flying Dutchman was real ship
and its captain real character. In the
early seventeenth century, when COM
petition between the Dutch and English
for East India trade ran high, one
ship. plying between Rotterdam and
Java, was known SO the Flying Dutch
man. Its Captaie and owner was one
Bernard Fokke. whose name deserves
10 be exhumed ~ that of the first man
who used iron in the construction of a
ship. Sheets OF iron were visible in
many parts Of Fokke's ship. and the
populace, knowing well that iron nat
urally sinks, grew suspicious when this
one, instead of sinking. surpassed all
others in swiftness.
1t seemed "uncanny," as the Scotch
saw. Wiseacres of the wharf shook
their heads as the big taciturn Captain
passed to his ship which so detied the
law of specific gravity. With what
dark power of the air or the wave was
he in league2 When from one Of its
VOYAGES the Flying Dutchman never
returned these suspicious organized
into the seed from which grew the we'll
known superstition. 1t was whispered
that. in trying to round the Cape Of
Good Hope. the iron bound ship was
repeatedly driven back by storms. TIL
at last the Captain cried: Il will round
that cape if takes me till Judgment
Day~ Then a voice of thunder echoed
down the sky-.till Judgment Day
So the FLYING Dutchman was believed
to be doomed to try and round the cape
till Judgment Day.-Mcncure d. Cow

Once there was crab who found a
crumb of rice cake. just then a
monkey met him, and offered to ex-
change persimmon seed for the cake,
to which the goodnaturedc crab agreed.
The monkey ate up his portion. while
the crab went to his hole in the hill
and planted his persimmon seed in the
garden, Soon fine tree appeared,
and the crab was happy enough over
balcony of his house. and watch the
fruit grow and ripen with great de-
light. But one unlucky day the
monkey came to see him. and begged
for some fruit. offering to climb the
tree to get it. The crab, being very
polite fellow. quietly consented. but
requested his visitor to throw down
some persimmons to him also.
But the. deceitful scamp filled his
pocket and ate the best fruit,
stoning the crab meanwhile with
the seeds. The crab. inwardly raging,

FATTENlNG CATTLE.
The Amount Of Watet Which Should II
Given to Beef Animals.

The Amount of Watet Which should BE
Given to Reef Animals.
As land becomes dearer and the de-
mand greater for beef to supply the
rapidly increasing population. every
means of raising and fattening cattle
cheaper will have to be resorted to.
Germany. where they always make ex-
periments carefully and thoroughly,
have been trying to ascertain just the
right amount of water to give to fat
tening cattle for the greatest develop
ment of flesh and fat. The scientific
exp,rimenters contend that too large
quantities of water given to such ami
mails with their food. or before or after.
increases the elimination of carbonic
gas, which binders the formation of
fat. They claim that this question
should be carefully investigated by
cattle feeders. to ascertain just how
much. and no more. is needed toquench
the thirst, and to dilute to suitable
degree the food of the animal. Feed
ing for beef is different from feeling
a horse or cow. For the former food
is given to sustain life and produce
solid flesh and muscle. hence if water
in any way. by the production of car
bonic acid. prevents the accumulation
of fat, it is all right. In the case of
cows. they should have pure but not too
cold water, without measure or stint.
Il is absolutely necessary for a plenti-
ful production of milk. And it has
been pretty clearly demonstrated that
if the water is warmed. it causes u
much larger flow of milk.
The question of how much water
should be given to fattening cattle.
is worthy of consideration, and those
who have time and opportunity, ought
to experiment on it, and give the re-
suits to the world. 1t is evident that
the dav of large and easy gains on a
few steers. carelessly fed. have passed
by. and economy will. in the future,
be one of the prominent virtues on the
farm All of the domestic fertilizers
will have to be carefully saved and
used, and all of the coarse fodder. az
well as grain. will have to be more
wisely used. and it is probable there
NAV be something worthy of considera-
ton in the amount of water which
should be given to fattening CATTLE

SOUTH AMERICA.

An Outlet for tho Future TeemIng MILL
ions of Europe and Asia.
South America has undoubtedly a
great future before it Recent explor-
atoms show that the three great river
basins of the continent, the Amazon,
Orinoco and Plata, are nearly con-
nected in their upper portions, where
the rivers are both broad and deep.
With a very little digging large ships
can pass from one to the other, thus
traEerSing the center OF the continent
by water communication through q
country of unbounded resources. A
geographical fact of this nature is the
handwriting of Deity. which, to the
mind reverent enough to read it, speaks
as plainly of the future greatness of the
land over which it is inscribed as does
the great chain of lakes connecting
with the Mississippi valley in our North
American continent. 1t may be one or
two hundred years before this great
future is developed, probably not so
long as this, since events move rapidly
in these days of steam and electricity.
The great lack of South America is
more men. In the tropical regions
especially nature has always proved
too much for the scattering fragments
of humanity contending for the
mastery. Here is then an outlet for
future teeming millions of Europe and
Asia, who are cramped out of the SEM
blance of what men ought to be. The
development of this great land will be
a work for the energy and enterprise
of citizens of this country sooner than
we may think. and which can not fail
to add largely to our prosperity.
American enterprise should be able to
aid in the development of that part OF
our great sister continent to the mutual
advantage of both nations. Boston
