That Sausage,

tAo
A clergyman in a Southern State was on
his way to preach a funeral sermon. As
he was passing the house Of a widow lady,
a member Of his congregation, she ran out
and stopped him, saying, as they haa just
slaughtered their hogs. she had put up a
few gounds Of sausage as a present, add-
ing that. as she had put it in double paper
rockets. she thought it would not soil his
clothes. He thanked her earnestly for her
kindness. and rode on, having put the par
Gel in his pocket.
All the time he was officiating at the
grave a large, half-starved hound kept
shutting around him, sometimes approach
ing a%larmingly near, attracted by the scent
of the fresh meat. AS the deceased was a
man of some prominence, there was Il con
siderable crowd collected, and q great
mourning and lamentation came from the
family group; 50 no N paid any attention
to the movements Of the animal, but all no
ticed with concern-for he was beloved by
his congregation-the great pallor OF the
clergyman, and the beads Of preSperatlon
standing upon his brow, and they began to
whisper to each other that Mr.. H must
be Ill.
After the interment they all proceeded
to the church, where the funeral sermon
was to be preached. Sust before entering,
Mr.. H turned round TO ascertain the
whereabouts of his tormentor, when 10.
there he was not far from him. but the
crowd prevented him from approaching
too closely. Just at this someone
gave the creature a cruel kick, which sent
the poor thing of bowling. When the
minister reached the pulpit-one OF those
old-fashioned affairs assembled by a short,
steep flight of stairs-he breathed more
freely. He was just about to commence
his duties when the sexton, a good Old
man, came noiselessly up the steps with a
slip of paper in his hand, which he wished
to give to the minister. but who was IN
noticed by that gentleman, though seen BY
all the congregation. He gently twitched
his coat to attract his attention. A thrill of
horror passed over the unhappy preacher
at the dreadful thought that the dog had
entered unseen in the crowd, and was now
about to take forcible possession of the
sausage before the whole assembly; SO hop
ing to drive him away, he kicked back
cautiously but vigorously, and struck the
old man in the breast, who rolled down the
steps.
Seeing the look of surprise and alarm on
the faces of the audience, he stammered
out, with crimson face: II must explain
to you my brethren, what must seem my
Incorporate conduct. A friend came out
to me, as | was passing her house, with a

Farm Notes.

We repeat that it is advantageous to
~irrieate the meadows late in the fall; es-
pecially the dryest me dow lands, andthe
timothy meadows. Timothy requires d
great deal Of water, and if neglected q
this season will dry and kill cut.
Now is the time to see the difference
between fall and spring ploughing.
Fields that were ~fml-ploughed are cut
and the grain threshed; but late sowing
is still standing in the field and is yet
liable to injury before it isthoroughly ripe.
Montana farmers ought to go into the
winter this year fully prepared to care for
every hoof of stock they W The range
in the settled districts is especially short
and it will not do to depend on it to take
the farm stock through until spring.
Every farmer should provide a stack OF
straw convenient to his stables to make
bedding for his work horses aud milk
cows. The horse that works hard should
have plenty Of bedding, and the COW that
furnishes the family in milk, also needs
to be similarly cared for.
The Montana farmer can make more
money raising hogs, cattle and horses than
in sticking exclusively to the growing OF
wheat, oats aud barley. In fact, stock
growing goes hand in hand with farming;
and We care not how much grain 4 farmer
may produce he should also have IA lot OF
growing stock.-HusdoHdmaa.

The Gallery Gal Expresses Her
Opinion.

"Ah, I'm so glad to see you," ex-
claimed the tired-looking woman who
took in the money and made out the
receipt in the Office of a photograph
gallery.
"But-but we have never met be-
fore, stammered the visitor.
True, but you are man. You are
the first man who has been in here to-
day. There have been nothing but wo-
men-several hundred of them, guess.
They do fatigue me so. I'd rather wait
upon fifty men than one woman. The
ladies are never satisfied. In the first
place, there are not any samples that
please them. They are all the time
looking for some new attitude. They
don't want anything that anybody else
has ever had. They discuss all the little
things, such rs their hair, colors, rib
bons, bangs, frizzes, position of the
hands, and so on, and change their
minds about fifty times. But the worst
is when the proofs come in. "A woman
is never pleased with the first thing she
sees. She has TO point out this sup
posed defect or that, and find fault
here and there, and talk an hour or
two about sitting again. 1t is right the
other way with men. They are easily
pleased. If they have. any convictions
they are convictions, and they express
them pointedly. They rarely change
their minds. The proofs generally suit
them. There is no doubt in the world
that, as rule, men have better taste
than women, too. This may surprise
you, but 1t is fact. The average man
will say: Il don't know anything about
such matters and say something sem
sible and pointed about the work in
hand. Not ono in twenty sits the
second time. 1t seems TO me that every
other woman must sit twice, and every
fourth one three times. I'm so tired. I"

LoYemaking in England.

English girls seldom marry before
the age of % or % Some marry we'll
at the age of 80. A marriage in England
is not arranged in a few days or ever
few months. A young man of about
20 engages himself to young lady of
say Is, and the lovers remain engaged
for three or even five years. These
are the woman's good time. During
the engagement she enjoys almost all
the sweets of married life without any
of its troubles, and she is free. Some
times she does her best TO make the
engagement last as long as possible.
She prefers TO murmur words of love
TO her betrothed to shutting herself up
with him in some semi-detached cot
tage wherein TO bemoan on the high
price of bread and butter and coal. On
the day she is married she is settled,
as they say in England; that means
she is established. / would define this
word settled more correctly by say
ing that her business is done for her.
/ do not wish ut all TO convey the idea
that woman finds no happiness in the
English households; nothing is further
from my mind. / think, on the con
trary, she can enter with more conf
dence than can her sister across thu
channel, because she assumes less re-
sponsibility aud because her mother
has invariably versed her most thor
oughly in domestic economy. Women
in England know nothing ut ali about
their husbands business, no more than
q clerk knows about the affairs of his
employer; and it is even II difficult
thing for her TO say whether he is max
ing a fortune or on the verge of bank
ruptcy. When her husband dies, an
Englishwoman who has no fortune may
become governess, housekeeper. or
nurse. That is servitude. An En-
glishman gives his wife so much a
month for household expenses and so
much for her wardrobe-her wages. as
it were. She evinces no surprise when
she learns one fine morning that her
husband is taking her to sumptuous
abode, nor when she learns that they
must move some evening in the dark
without making a noise. She goes
with the furniture-in double sense.

The latest trick about town is called
the Clock Puzzle. You mention it to
your friend. His curiosity prompts
him to inquire what it is like. You
take out your watch, ask him to select
one of the hour figures, then offer to
bet him the cigars you can tell which
one he selected, the only condition be-
ing that. as you go rambling about the
dial looking for the number, he shall
tell you when the number he has in his
mind, added to your count, will make
twenty. For instance, you begin by
pointing your pencil at 3, counting one,
then ut 3, counting two, then ut other
numbers selected at random, counting
each one, until you have counted eight,
when you begin at the IL and proceed
in the direction opposite to that which
the hands travel. Ii your friend has
selected the IL he informs you that
your count (eighD and the hour num-
Der. at which you are then pointing,
added together, make twenty. If he
should have selected the IL he stops
you there, rs your count (nine) and the
IL makes twenty, and SO on, taking in
all of the hours. 1t is u very simple
thing, but it has been good for many u
