A LIVING BAROMETER.

The Tree-Toad's Power Of Foretelling
Changes in tho Weather.
1t is well-known fact that several
of our smaller animals are so sensitive
to changes from heat to cold, and from
dry to moist, that they foretell those
changes some time in advance.
In the Smithsonian Institutions list
of animals valuable to man, the tree
toad is mentioned as an excellent
weather-prophet, and ! can testify to
its power of foretelling the change in
the weather. I have in my possession
q paper-weight in the form of a bronze
frog supporting upon its back a glass
tube with a bulb at the bottom. Some
months ago was fortunate enough to
catch tree-toad, and having heard Of
his ability as weather-prophet, I put
him into my glass tube and made from
matches a small ladder so that he could
climb up or down within the tube.
soon found that the approach OF
change in the weather was always no
ticed by the little prisoner, who climbed
toward the top whenever the air grew
moist or before rain, and as invariabl.
descended toward the bottom of tn
tube in advance of the coming OF DIR.

DEHoRNING CATTLE.
Good Results to Be Obtained by Prevent
ing the Formation of Horns.

Good Results to Be Obtained by Prevent.
ing the Formation Of Horns.
Attention has of late been directed to
the usefulness of hornless cattle as CON-
pared with those armed with long and
sharp horns that are at all times a
menace to their keepers as well as
source of injury to the weaker of their
own kind. Persons who are keeping
polled cattle do not cease to proclaim
the virtues of creatures they can at all
times handle without danger of severe
knocks from sharp horns. Recently
advocates have been found of the
practice Of saving off the horns
of cattle near the head, which
they claim can be done at small
inconvenience to the animal SO treated.
While the object sought is very desir-
able, the reason for delay until Great
ure has arrived at maturity before per-
forming such an operation is ques-
toned. It is a well known fact that in
their tender age animals as well as hui
man beings have less finely developed
organism-the nerve centers are not so
susceptible to pain and the effects of an
injury soon pass away. Having this
in view, well-informed veterinarians
advise the dehorning of cattle in the
earlier stage of life, when calves
are but a few weeks of age. At that
period of life the rudiments of horns
appear like small buttons loosely at.
tached to the skin and not yet firmly
seated as part of the bony structure,
Before the horn becomes firmly at
tached to the head it is comparative.
ly easy matter to effect its removal
with simple instrument and at little
inconvenience to the calf DR.. G.
Stuart, well-known veterinarian oi
Cleveland, who practiced in Scotland
before coming to this country, has eff
fectually prevented the formation o.
horns on cattle by TINS metnod, poIL
abroad and here.
1t is the testimony Of those who keel
polled cattle that they are milder il
character and more easily handled
than horned cattle; besides this, sucl
animals are never worrying others o
their kind, never hooking sheep AM
horses and are altogether more profita
bic from this cause than the common
stock. 1t would seem then worth Will
for farmers and stockmen to max

horning cattle if it may be accomT

BARB-wlRE FENCES.



Counties of the Northwest.
In driving over much of two large
counties for nearly three weeks a good
opportunity for observation Of the va
rious modes of fencing pastures in this
vast open prairie country was afforded.
Horse-pasture fences are made with
two wires, and only one in some in
stance, as horses shun the barbs more,
and are therefore more easily fenced
in than any other farm stock. Cattle
are fenced in generally with three
wire fence, instead of two wires, as was
formerly the practice. In the case OF
horses the posts are placed from twen-
ty-five to forty feet apart; for cattle,
from sixteen and half to thirty-three.
For cattle, particularly as they are adj
dicted to rubbing against any accessi-
BILE object, four barb-wire is far the
best. The objection to only two barbs
in place is that cow or steer may
lean against parts OF the wire Tour OF
five feet in continuous length, on which
all the barbs point upward and down.
ward, none of them extending out hor-
izontally-as they should once every
foot at least. This strains and loosens
both the wire and the posts All that
is required in size and strength of post
is stiffness enough to hold the wire in
line when strong wind is blowing.
For this purpose narrow post only
two or three inches across presents less
surface for the wind to press against
than one that is larger. In fact, broad
faced posts, four to eight inches wide,
snapped off short at the ground in the
late fierce hurricanes. After seeing
many small pastures fenced with wire
fastened on small live posts it seems
clear to me that these are quite strong
enough to suspend two, three or four
wires.-Cor. Country Gsntleman

For SANTA CLAUS.

dreamed-twAs such funny dreami--
That all the girls and boys,
Who have been getting skates and sledh
And dolls and books and toys,
In stockings, and on Christmas trees,
On every Christmas Day,
Had held q meeting-every one,
From near and far away.
The talk had been of Santa Claus
OF how his gay reindeers
Have trotted up and down the world
For years and years and years.
And how the dear old jolly soul,
Before the rising sun,
Has filled tho stockings, great and small,
And not forgotten one.
and now they thought that turn about
Would be no more than fair,
And Santa Claus himself should have
For once liberal share.
They'd have glorious tree, and fill
A stocking to the brim,
With wonders brought from every land,
And all should be for him.
Ah, II you could have seen that tree,
So green and broad and high,
All hung with presents rich and Tarel
Italmost touched the sky.
And such stocklngl Long enough
TO reach a mile or so,
And crnmmed with goodies from the top
Down to the very toel
And then heard the Christmas bells
Ring out so clear and loud,
That all the children in the world
Came marching in q crowd,
To wish to good old Santa Claus
A merry Christmas Day,
And see what he would think of II,
And hear what he would say.
But what he thought and what he said
I never now can tell,
For all the,rlnglng had heard
Was s-just-the breakfast bell
There was stocking hanging up,
There was n Christmas tree,
But, somehow, was rather glad
That they were both for me,

London messenger Dogs.
[Boston Globe.


A writer in London newspaper sug-
Eests the formation of a corps Of mes
senger dogs, to take the place Of telegraph
boys. The dogs would be uniformed-to
the extent of a Distinguishing badge
around their necks--and would be divided
up into districts, each stationed at GER
tain street corner, from which he knew his
way well TO the nearest postal Telegraph
office. When a man wanted to have tel-
egram sent or q letter mailed, he would
whistle to the dog, slip the money and 'the
message into bag at the dogs throat and
send him off, when be would be expected
to make a bee-line for the accustomed
Office, whence he would be again sent to
his street corner gwith an answer, Il
necessary, to wait for another customer.

Fashionable Crazes by Which the Female

The bead decoration continues with

Patent leather shoes, cut low, are in

Undressed kid gloves, with heavily
stitched backs and four buttons, are
fashionable for street wear.
Rough cloth mantles to match suits
are now trimmed with black furs and
tail fringes on the tabs in front.
Raw silk stockings with white feet
are in demand now, being warmer than
the spun silk and Lisle-thread hose.
Many ladies who cling to French

"A half-breed Indian in the Dead
River region in Maine has domesticated
a huge moose, and uses him in farm
work. In the winter, when the moose
is hitched to sled and is driven upon
the ice, there is no horse in the country
round about which can keep up with
him. The half-breed turns his big steed
into an inclosure with fence of or
binary height. Once in awhile the
moose jumps out and goes on an excur-
sion, but, as he never fails to return,
this privilege is not begrudged him. =

HARD-woRKING WOMEN.
The Hardshlps to which Women Are Sub

The Hardships to which Women Are Sub
iected In europe.
At Stockholm the debasemento of wo-
man is perhaps more thorough and
complete than in any city in Northern
Europe. She here practically supplants
the beasts Of burden. And ! am not
altogether unfamiliar with woman's
work in Europe i / have seen her
around the pit mouth, at the forge and
barefooted in the brick-yards Of ''Mer-
rie England, and filing blast furnaces
and tending coke ovens in "Sunny
France ~ M
have sadly watched her bearing the
heat and burden Of the day in the fields
Of the ''Fatherland," and in Austrian
Hungary doing the work Of man and
beast on the farm and in the mine. 1
have seen women emerge from the
coal-pits of "Busy Belgium" where
little girls and young women graduate
under ground as hewers of coal and
drawers of carts, for it is no uncommon
thing in Europe to hitch women and
dogs together that manufacturing may
be done cheaply. Aged, bent and sun
burned, have seen women, with rope
over shoulder, toiling on the banks Of
canals and dikes in picturesque Hol-
land. M
Having witnessed all this, ! was yet
surprised to find in city so beautiful
and seemingly SO rich and prosperous
as Stockholm, woman still more de-
based. In Stockholm she is almost ex-
clusively employed as hod-carrier and
bricklayer'S assistant. She carries
bricks, mixes mortar, and, in short,
does all the heavy work about the
building. At the dinner-hour you see
groups of women sitting on the piles OF
wood and stone eating their frugal re-
past. @
Those engaged making mortar and
tending plasterers wore aprons. They
are paid for day of hard work Of tkis
toll, lasting twelve hours, the munif-
cent sum of one kroner equivalent to
one shilling and three pence), Women
sweep the streets, haul the rubbish,
drag hand-carts up the hills and over
the cobble-stones, unload bricks at the
quays, attend to the parks, do the gar
dening and row the numerous ferries
which abound at Stockholm.
The entire dairy business of the city
is in their hands, and here they take the
places of horses and dogs, carrying OF
their shoulders the heavy cans of mill
from door to door. While woman thu
slaves in Stockholm, man parades. YoV
