Feeding Cows in Finland.

To any one who could be satisfied with an unvarying dict of fish and black bread, accompanied by the best cream and butter that can be found any where, it would be easy to satisfy his wants in any part of tho country. How tho cream and butter come to bo so good is mystery to me, for assurcdly the Fin nish cows arc the worst and most scan- tily fed of their kind. What other COW that respected herself would be satisfied with hay soup ia which tho water formed so unfair Q proportion to the hay7 The most mcagro- looking hay, mixed with tho dried branches of alder, sinners in huge iron pot, and ono sees the poor beasts dipping their noses into the unsavory broth and fishing out its sodden contents with the evident relish of hunger. It was complained to me by resident in the country that cows could not be induced to look upon sawdust as the staple of their food. How far he had seriously made the trial I do not know, but should he ever suc- cccd, there will bo a rich prospect for Finland in dairy farming. -lAurray's Magazine

As the gen. cral entered the hall the band played "scc, the Conqucriny Hero Comes, '" tho stage was handsomely decorated with flowers and evergeens, and ban ner bore the words, "Wclcome. Path finder" Whilo ths speaking was in progress soft aud silent shower of rose leaves fell upon tho group, and not until the exercises were completed did it cease. Repeatedly Mrs. Fremont shook off the leaves, but they fell fast and thick, covering her head and shoulders and forming pilc in her lap. When the shower ceased rose leaves covered the stage floor foot in depth.

Emperor Frederick's Banker.

In TITO Rev. Moritz Speycrs was at the head of band of Lutherans in Dessau, and by frugal living had man. aged to save up considerable money; all of which was in silver coin. The Rev. Moritz Speyers was unlike great many modern preachers, in that he helped his flock as he helped himself.
 Living at the time in circumstances so humble that they were nearer poverty than comfort, was ayoung couple named Cohn. They had not been married long, and the young husband had lost all he had. Still he worked and worked, and finally he and his wife made enough to live comfortably. Young Cohn was naturally sharp and shrcwd, and was always looking out for chance to in- crease his few coins. Tho chance pre- sented itself. All ho needed WIS $2, 900 worth of German money, and he said his fortune would be made. He would be wealthy; but poor man, unknown and comparatively friondlcss, had but little chance of raising $2, 900.
 He had one hope, das pastor. and straightway he called on the Rev. Mo- ritz Speyers. Would he lend poor man, without any security, $2oooa He would, certainly, but Herr Cohn must come with his wife and take it away. The next day Cohn and his wife came with handcart and took the silver. They were safe because they lived in Dessau, and Dessau had no aldermen then. That was Cohn's opportunity and he prospcred. Ten years later he repaid the loan with interest. Still he prospered until he was appointed bank CT for district, then for duke, and then kings, and finally the late Emperor William gavo into his keeping all the royal treasure. When he died, his son, the present baron, took his place.
 MT. Albert G. P. speyers, a broke, of Exchange place, is a grandson of the Rev. Moritz speyers, of Dessau, and when he went to Berlin few years ago tho papers announced his arrival Shortly after Baron Cohn called on him. in full court dress, and thanked hin for the great kindness his grandfathel had shown to tho baron's father.

ShadOWing Bank Clerks.

There are few banks in Now York that regard their clerks as above suspi. cio1.
 In these days, when old and trusted employees are making hasty trips to Canada, the banks think if they arc not ablo to lcck the stable door, the next best thing is to roll big stone against it. The stono in this case is the detec- tive. Most of tho banks employ dctec- tives to shadow their clerks and study their habits. It i, the rule to keep a detective on tho trail of clerk for about two weeks every six months Where clerk has becn but short time in the employ of bank he is watched even moro closely than this. An old employe, whoso habits arc known to be steady, is shadowed maybc only ono, year. Then clerk may be shadowed two nights in succession, and not again for some time B.sidcs, tho clerk may como within range of tho detectivo's eyo when the sleuth-hound is engaged in shadowing some other clerk.
 So bank clerk cannot be too par ticular where he goes and with whom he associates, for he nevor knows when the eye of the detective is upon him. Just little too much conviviality with ones friends may cost him his job oI prevent what was almost certain pro- motion. There is practically no chance for him to explain or excuse his con- duct, for there is probably not bank President in tho city who will admit that ho employs detectives to watch his clerks.
 While the system is an offen sive one, aside from the banks being justified il adopting it, it results in some good tt clerks. On account of it there arc an, number of bank clerks who could no be even induced to enter saloon or place of question able reputation. Natur ally, person feels, to say the least, un comfortable when he thinks that hi steps are being doggea. Particular is this so if he is going to call upon hi sweetheart, and he reflects that the de tcct1ve will prol ably not bo contcnte' until he finds out all about the youn! lady, and in conse quencc imagines tha his courtship may become common EOS sip about the bank. -[Now York World

Smoking Universal in Venezuela.


 Everybody smokes cigarettes in Ven czuela, writes w. A. Patou to the New York Times.

The walters in the hotel smoked while setting the tables; the proprietor sat at his desk in his own personal well-favored cloud; the major domo and janitor, the little boy who ran the errands, the cocheros on their hacks, the drivers and conductors of the horse cars tho padres sitting in tho pullic squares, the policemen on duty, tho soldiers mounting guard before the barracks, tho clcrks in the shops whilo waiting for customers, tho cxpectant bootblack, the guests at tho hotel smoked in their rooms in all tho saloons save one, which was reserved for foreign ladies who might object to tho fumes of tobacco. h every other place about the hotel all tho mon smoked, in doors and out, in season and | out, before and after meals-young, middle aged and o.d---all tho white and colored men, and nearly all tho colored girls and women.

 Do ye message lear,
 Upon your wings of air, From her with whom my being forms partl O, winds of home, Iknow what you would say; That she is true; and waiting the dear day
 When by her side once moro, -. All grief and longing OCT. Together we shall journey on life's way. o, winds of homa your message fond hear; None others words could sound so sweetly clear.
 They echo in my heart;
 And now, before we rart, Be this my answer, as you westward veer: Tell her, though I have roved from her afar, Her love has shown above me like star:
 = And now its holy ray
 Shall light me on my way To her and home where all my treasures are. When behold the daybreak of her eyes, Then new white dawn within my soul shall rise;
 And peace and rest are mine,
 True love an1 joy divine, To be with her till earthly daylight dies. Q, winds of home, turn back your wings of air, And help to swell the sails that homeward bear!
 And all across the sea,
 Your voice shall sing to me Of her whose gift of loving makes life fair.
