used in training youth. An illustra-
ton of this came up recently at Girard

and the officers are required to pro-
vide instruction ..only in the purest
morality" But not long since WIS.,
itor was present at chapel service in
the college, and was happily surprised
to find the exercises truly Christian.
They were conducted by the vice
president, warm-hearted Presby-
terian, who gave an address from the
text: .'Acguaint thYself with God"
His audience was composed of 1,050
bows, between six and seventeen years
of age, very quiet and orderly. and all
of them fatherless The matron, on
being asked by what examples the life
of the teachers is nourished, replied:

GEOGRAPHY AND ART.
Very Interesting Conversation Over.
heard in an Art Gallery.
IChicago Journal


TChicago Journal
happened to overhear a curious con.
troversy in the art gallery Of the EXPOSE
ton concerning the name given to one of
the paintings. 1t was the beautiful little
canvas of R. W. Hubbard, entitled, ac-
cording to the printed catalogue, "Pool
above Aam." Several persons stood
around it admiring it, when suddenly the
question was sprung: "Where is Aamp
One gentleman thought that it was town
in Connecticut, not far from where Mr..
Hubbard has his country seat. An
Irish gentleman shook his head, and
thought that it was in Connaught.
A well-dressed man with Teutonic ac-
cent remarked judicially that he thought
Aam was hamlet not far from Stuttgart,
and, in fact, he had a distinct impression
that he visited it once, in his childhood.
Just then minister came up, and over
hearing what they said, suggested that If
his memory served him right, Aam was an
ancient city in the Holy Land, where
Joshua once worsted the Amalekites. He
thought the account of the battle would be
found in the second book of Chronicles,
perhaps in the fourth or fifth chapter.
Just then Mr.. Leonard, who superintends
the gallery, and who hearing the contro-
versy had disappeared to make some in
vestigations, returned and informed them
that the name of the picture as givin in
| the catalogue was a misprint, and should
have been "Above a DAM"

TOP FODDER.

A Valuable Article of Food Which Is FIRE.
quentIy Entirely Overlooked.
1t is strange that farmers are so slow
to learn the value and economy of top
fodder. In some sections such forage
is entirely overlooked In others it S
put up in limited quantities. Farmers
generally think topping corn is very
slow work, and, consequently. poor pay.
Yet it is the cheapest forage that can be
supplied on the farm. good hand
with sharp knife will readily cut. bind
ahd shock two acres per day in average
corn. Some farmers hire tops harvested
at fifty cents per acre. Whom we'll
cured it is a small job to put them in
the barn NOW. The best time to cut is
when tn tops are about half ripe. Max
ing liberal allowances, such fodder
should be put in the NOW at cost of
seventy-ive cents per acre. L think
three acres of tops will make as much
feed as one of meadow. But estimating
it at four acres, the cost in the barn
would be three dollars. In my locality
timothy hay sold at seven dollars per
acre as it stood in the field. And here
the custom prevails where meadow is
ietoout ION the shares" to take one-half
for putting the other half in the barn or
stack. This rule is too extravagant.
But taking it as it is, hay costs fourteen
dollars per acre put in the barn; and
making every reasonable allowance for
localities (sIeaking of farming distr ctS)
and variation in prices, hay costs from
two TO three times as much as corn tops
Then there is still greater disparity.
Saving corn tops is net gain, for II
not thus utilized it goes to waste,
whereas, the rental value of meadow
land must be taken into account. and
uauss be added, which, in this locality.
would rate at five dollars per acre. SO
If the farmer puts up his own meadow,
he should charge himself with that much
to been with, and the exhaustive ma
ture OF timothy meadow is an important
factor. Cutting timothy and corn fod-
der (the whole stalk will each impov-
erish soil much quicker than other
crops. The silica which glazes the stem
or stalk and gives it strength to SAND
erect, is thus removed from the SOIL
and if persisted in and not returned to
the soil. the effect Will soon become
very apparent. But when the tops OF
corn.staiks are taken, comparatively
little of the silica is removed from the
field.
/ have fed tops several winters and
found them equal to timothy for food
and. if any difference, less labor was re-
quired. My horses relish and do well
on such forage But the most remark,
able feature is, that men VINO rent lana
allow the leisure season TO pass unih-
proved in this respect, and purchase
hay for their teams when few days
work would pay the bilL-D IL.

The Dog Paid for His Neal
Boston Gazatte.

A lady was visiting friends at the sea-
side, where there was a fine dog, whose
master was in the habit Of giving him
money every day to buy meat for his dim
ner from the butchers cart The lady,
admiring the handsome, intelligent ami
NAL, called him to her as she sat at break
fast and fed him from her plate. The dog
at once went to his master, and, standing
on his hind legs, paved and scratched at
the gentleman's breast pocket. At first
the master failed to understand, and
ordered him away, but the creature per-
sisting, finally said: "Well, do believe
he wants his money" and offered him
a coin, which the dog instantly took, and,
trotting up to the friendly visitor, de-
posted ie in her lap with wag of his tail
and a look that seemed to say: 81 always
pay the butcher, and why not you?"
