Good. i've. Old Body. /"

In one of the hospital stories of the

bye. old arm" He had just lost his
right arm by amputatiop, and saw it
lying on the table where the surgeons
had left it. But a far rarer and more

DR.. Leland, who recently died in
Georgia, was q great sufferer of asth-
ma, and to all appearances died sever

place. On more than one occasion his
family made preparations for his fun

death he told remarkable story OF
how he witnessed the arrangements.
Unable to lie down, I passed
through all my sickness in an easy

Something Important.

It is customary when cattle are turned ont to
grass in the spring to let them feed on this sue
culent food until nature dries it up in the fall.
1t makes good, succulent beef, but is it not too
succulent? Does it afford as much nutrition,
pound for pound, as hay, grain, and root or en-
silage-fed beef? We suspect not. The bowels
Of the cattle are always loose, showing that
there is a superabundance Of water and imper-
feet digestion. Is the animal quite healthy?
Now, in winter, we find that all dry feed is
not as good for cattle as that which is relieved
by one feeding day Of some kind of succulent
ration. The bowels of the cattle get too cos
tive. The droppings are hard, showing lack
lent food relieves this. May it not also be true
that all succulent food in summer is not so good
as . mixture with dry feed2 Throw alock Of dry
hay to your cattle in pasture and see how they
will rush for it, and how greedily they will de-
your it -.
Does not this indicate q need Of dry feed?
Would It not regulate that extremely loose con-
dition Of the bowels? And would 1t not make
the meat frmer and more nutritious? In the
light OF reason, 1t would seem 10. Is not the
idea worth fair experiment.
Some may cay that grass Is the natural food
of cattle. So it is, in their natural state; but
where they can live without the aid of man, the
feed is not the same as with 10. Our animals
are in an artificial condition. They live on
comparatively dry feed half Of the year. Their
systems are not wholly adapted to all green
feed. Besides, our grasses are cultivated ones.
We are long way from wild nature, IN many
things. This should always be borne in mind.
We think the winter and summer feed ought to
more nearly agree, and not be quite 30 succulent
in summer, nor 80 dry in winter.-National
Live Stock Journal.

Rose E. Cleveland was the youngest
of nine children born to Richard and
Elizabeth Cleveland, at Fayetville. N.
| Y, from whence her parents removed to
Clinton. when she was little girl, and
later in 1858, to Holland Patent, where
her father took charge of the Preshyte-
rian church. He died in that year
leaving Rose an orphan at lineage Of
II. After careful preparation by her
mother, Rose was sent to Houghton
Seminary. where she proved brilliant
pupil graduating with the highest hon.
ors. "Original People, was the theme
of her graduating essay which her au-
dience declared to be most happy
effort, Miss Rose then became a teach
er in the Houghton Seminary, whom,
after remaining in that position two
years, she went to Lafayette, Iud., as
principal of the Collegiate Institution
in that town.
She afterwards taught in Pennsylva-
MIA at a private school for short time
and then, conceived the idea of lectur-
ing before classes and proposed to the
principal Of Stoughton Seminary to
make beginning there.
The latter entering heartily iuto the
arrangement, Miss Cleveland wrote
course of historical lectures which she
delivered that season. As she devoted
herself to her aged mother. she was
unable to leave Holland Patent to pur-
sue her work continuously until after
that lady's death, in the summer of
1882. -.
After this event her brothers and
sisters naturally expected that she
would make her hone with one of
them, but being OF an Independent
nature and self reliant, she preferred to
remain in the old home, where she
continued to live when not far away
lecturing until she assumed the posi-
ton of mistress at the White House.
In person Miss Cleveland is of
medium stature and build, with a
shapely and highly intellectual face
good looking but not pretty. She
comes of generations of Presbyterian
ministers. All the traditions of the
parsonage center about her past. Her
eldest brother is a minister, and her
eldest sister is a missionary in Ceylon.
Her brother-in-law is a minister, and
her near kinsmen in several instances
are preachers. She is an orthodox
Christian, believing, with child-like
tenacity, in the Instructions she re-
ceived at her mothers knee. Her
efforts in the cause of temperance are
well known: -.

Winter Pastures.

The very name brings smile Of incredibly
on the faces of those who sneer at book farm
ing Nevertheless, it is one of the easiest
things in the world to have winter pasture.
Take the rough est land on your farm, SOW it to
blue grass and white clover, and IL unbroken,
use as a summer pasture, pasturing it very
closely till the wild grasses are all killed. Then
turn everything of early in June, and let 1t grow
till your other pastures are all exhausted. Put
stack Of hay and cheap shed In one corner
and turn your horses in. With plenty Of water
and a very little grain, unless the shows are very
deep, you can keep them on grass all winter.
II the land 10 in cultivation, SOW as directed for
any pasture, and use rs a summer pasture till
the blue grass and white clover occupy the en-
tire ground, which they will in a few years, and
then use as winter pasture. In other words,
a winter pasture is simply pasture OF blue
grsss and white clover kept for winter use.
If deep SHOWS come it is Of no use for cattle,
but it will be dne until covered with snow. In
1885 we turned out on winter pasture the LIST Of
March, and used but ten tons Of hay for eighty
head of cattle and horses between that and May,
and they had all they needed.-Iosca Homestead.

The First Duty.

Strive to make the farm home the brightest
and happiest spot on earth. During the long
winter evenings the farmer has 1t in his power
to do much to shape the future course of his
children. If he spends his evenings at home,
as he should, he will naturally take the lead,
and direct the couree of studies and plan for
such new amusements as will be both elevating
and joyous. In this way children are made to
love their homes and to care nothing for the
attractions OF the gilded saloons. But when
the head of the household hurries through his
eupper that he may have few minutes more
time to spend at the corner grocery, or to Cos
sip with the neighbors, he shows that he has
no conception of what he may enjoy ut home
in fact what his duty is to his family.

DR.. Pritchard had patient who was
particularly fond of horse exercise and
used to rise at night, find his way to
the stable, saddle his horse, enjoy a
gallop and finally come back, knocking
at his own front door, in a somnambu-
listic condition.
DR.. Macnish of Edinburgh gave an
account of an Irish gentleman who
swan more than two miles down a
river, got ashore and was subsequently
discovered sleeping by the roadside
altogether unconscious Of the extraor-
binary feat he had accomplished.

Not more than six years ago an un-
happy mechanic in Edinburgh was
tried before the high court there for
the murder of his own child. 1t was
proved that he arose from his bed at
night and, fast asleep, took the infant
from beside its mother and dashed it
furiously against the wall. The evil
dence showed that the wretched father
was addicted to somnambulism, and
his own explanation of the matter was
that he dreamed he was attacked and
struggled with his assailant. OF
course the man was acquitted.
The brother of Lord Culpepper in
1856 got up, saddled his favorite
charger and went for ride in the
park, being all the time sound asleep.

the poor man dead on the spot. When
