In families where a Io-lb. pail Of
butter can be used in a week or two
at the highest, the system of packing
for the market may be all right, but
in small families there is a tendency
to buy only by the pound. We have
often wondered why the lib. prints,
such as sold in New York and PhiIa-
delphia, are not more popular in Chi
cago. The only objection is the
slightly higher express charges. We

How an Old-Time Peddler Sold Nine
Clocks to Three Brothers.
A good story was told Harrisburg
Pa.) correspondent the other day about a
well-known old gentleman who peddled
clocks and jcwelry in the days before
railroad contracts made him worth more
than quarter of million. II distinctly
recollect on one occasion, said he, Il was
selling clocks near Mechanicsburg, in the
beautiful Cumberland valley, and ran
across house where the man purchased
three. After dinner, to which 1
was invited, my curiosity being excited
by the fact Of the gentleman's taking
three clocks, asked the reason. He told
me that he was one Of three brothers who
had agreed among themselves that the
first one who struck clock peddler
should buy clock for each, | INQUIRED
about the brothers, where they resided
and the best way to reach them; aud after
dinner I started and before evening had
seen the two brothers and sold them each
three clocks. making nine in ALL When
he finished the story the old gentleman
gave chuckle as if he had accomplished
thing for which he deserved commenda-
ton. 1t was quite neat trick.

Story of a Lad Who Insisted Oh Having

Story of Lad Who Insisted Oh Having
Some five years ago many people who
happened to pass a certain Chicago news
paper office might have noticed bright
faced lad of about II years of age, who
kept his eyes fixed on the entrance to the
counting room. Whenever any one issued
from the Office, if a grown person, the
boy would address him, with an eager
glance: Are you lool1in' for boy, sir?''
He came on duty every morning early,
fresh, bright, cheerful, and apparently un
dismayed by the unbroken current of
noes" that flowed by him. In W. elk he
disappeared. Last week, while the writer
was chatting with the manager of one of
the largest wholesale cstab lishments in the
West, a bright, active young fellow, with
checks full Of color and eyes shining with
good nature and earnestness, came up and
handed the manager a paper. 1t was the
lad who had stood before the newspaper
office in search of q man who wanted q
boy.
who is that lad? He seems above the
average"
Il picked him off the sidewalk in front
of newspaper Office. He Is one of the
brightest, quickest, and most faithful of
the boys in this establishment. Some day
he will be at the head of some bic busi
ness. He is of Irish parentage and sup
ports widowed mother and brother
and sister"

THE GERMAN KAISER.
Will William the Second Come to His
Death Ere Long from Cancer?

Will William the Second Come to His
Death Ere Long from Cancer?
A London correspondent says:
Young German military men are all in
great excitement and seem to imagine
that their young Emperor-King is going
to lead them all to glory in a very short
time Unfortunately for them, and for
mankind at large, the real truth is not
published. We are made to believe that
everywhere the young Emperor William
distinguishes himself, shows himself a
great and powerful monarch, and is re-
ceived with unanimous applause. Such
is not the case Undoubtedly so far the
Emperor has displayed certain kingly
qualities; has !, given proof of some
strength of will and some aptitude for
work. But how long will this last? We
are told of his manly presence, but we do
not find mention of the ominous cotton
wool pads that fill his ears to keep the
outer air away from the ulcers that at
any moment may affect his brain. Then
there are the racking neuralgia pains
that keep him awake all night and make
him get UP at untold hours in the morn
ing. On such occasions he seems to for
get his suffering by making surprise visits
to barracks, where he does not fail to
vent the ill-humor caused by pain on any
one whom he may find ut fault. These
are the freaks of Il sickly man. Who
shall measure the political Importance of
such sickness? Who shall say how soon
this young life may be cut off? And then
what will, what can, happen?

The Daityman, in the years gone
by, has had more or less to say about
the easy method of ventilating living
rooms, or naturally damp cellars by
means of pipe reaching almost to
the floor of the room, or the bottom
of the cellar, and have the upper end
of the pipe run into the stove pipe in
an upper room, or into a chimney
that has the heat and hot smoke
from some fire constantly rarefying
the air in the pipe or chimney SO that
there will be draft in the ventilat-
ing pipe that will take off the cold air
from the base.
This method of ventilation has now
become standard, the fires it takes to
keep warm in cold weather acting as
the force to do the ventilating. In
summer when little or no fire is
needed, the hot air is made to rise in
the chimney, and thus the ventilating
pipe operated by placing small fire
in the chimney or small kerosene
stove, or big lantern even, will Gre
ate the needed force or movement SO
that ventilation goes on.
This method of ventilation will op-
crate as successfully to cleanse the
foulness of a stable as the dampness
of cellar. A pipe reaching from
the base of the cellar to the roof OF
the barn, and a big lantern placed in
the pipe, say on the second floor OF
the barn, would take up the foul
odors and damp air SO that the sta
Bile of a basement barn would be kept
sweet and wholesome; whereas they
are now the very reverse, and some
of them abominably SO.
They have been voted SO uncom
Portable and unhealthy for slock,
that many farmers have, of late years
built their barns SO that the stables
were above ground entirely. While
we are not enamored of the cellar
stable, We know there are thousands
of them all over Wisconsin, and we
point out a way that they can be
made far more healthful for the cat
tie, especially mich COWS; and al
small expense. -Hoa1d's Dmvyman
