Value Of an "ohr"


An eminent clergyman sat in his
study busily engaged in preparing
his Sunday sermon when his little
boy toddled into the room and, hold
ing up his pinched finger, said, with
an expression of suffering, "Look, pa,
how l hurt itw The father, inter-
rupted in the middle of a sentence,
glanced hastily at him, and with just
the slightest tone of impotence, said:
II can't help it, sonny" The little
fellows eyes grew bigger, and as he
turned to go out he said in a low
voice: eyes, you could you might
have said, ooh! !"

The subject of human greatness was
touched upon in a st. Paul Sunday
school class, and the teacher aptly
illustrated by reference to the Presi-
dent. Then she made the applica-
ton. "Now, children, great as the
President is, wise, and all that, as
much as he is loved and honored,
there is one we should love and
honor far above the President of this
great country.
edo you know who that's ?" The
teacher paused solemunly for ar
answer. And she got it. Not from
one, or two, or three of the class but
in concert, and instantaneously every
little boy and girl shouted out, Mrs
Cleveland"

Love.

Let those laugh who will at the
romance of love, and jeer at the
poverty in which it so often delights.
But there isno poverty in the home
oflove, for with its magic wand it
gilds and bedecks with the rarest
gems the most commonplace
surroundings. 1t sweetens toll, and
makes it joy. At the touch of its
fingers pain flies, and music has her
soul in its laughter.
There is only one condition of its
existence once it is stirred into life
that condition is purity. With this,
love is immortal without this, love
withers and dies, and refusing to be
buried, the corpse remains to torture

The True Wife.

Oftentimes l have seen tall ship
glide by against the tide as if drawn
by some invisible bowline. with a
hundred strong arms pulling it. Her
sails untitled, her streamers dropping,
she hsd neither side wheel nor stern
wheel; still she moved on stately, in
serene triumph as with her own life.
But knew that on the other side Of the
ship, hidden beneath the great bulk
that swan so majestically, there was
a little steam-tug, with heart of fire
and arms of iron, that was tugging it
bravely on; and l knew that if the
little steam tug untwined her arm,
and left the ship,it would wallow and
roll about, and drift hither and thith-
er, and 60 off with the reauent tide,
no man knows whittier And so |
have known more than one genius,
high decked, full freighted, idle-sailed,
gay-pennoned. that but for the bare,
toiling arms, and brave, warm beating
heart of the faithful little wife, that
nestled close to him, so that no wind
or wave could part them. would have
gone down with the stream. and have
been heard of no more--Otuer Ven

Excessive Sailing.

A singular fact was brought out at
the meeting of the Connecticut State
Board of Agriculture A gentleman
stated that he gave his cows guam
tity of salt with view to increasing
the milk production, as he had seen
it stated that such would be the re-
suit. He was not disappointed; the
increase was quite marked. but the
singular feature of the trial was that
while the milk yield was increasing
the cream yield was proportionately
decreased; that is, the ratio OF cream
to the milk was diminished as the
quantity of milk increased, and upon
an abandonment of sailing this ratio
was restored.
This is a matter of some conss-
quence to dairymen who are interest
ed only in the production of milk,
but where cream is desired it seems
that excessive sailing acts against the
production of cream. DR. Cressley
stated that this was result that
might naturally be expected; that
the excess of salt prevented the active
development of the fat globules,
while the milk secretion was actively
going on. Accepting that explana-
tion, while it might be expected that
the result indicated would at first fol-
low from sudden and rather violent
change in the matter of sailing, if the
feed remained the same, and from
which would be secreted normal
quantity of fatty substance, while
from diminished activity at first it
would be reasonable to suppose that
after little time the extent of the
secretion would be restored to its
original state and the cream produced
be brought to It's uniform ratio to the
entire milk product 1t is, in our
mind, a more rational conclusion
to attribute an increased flow of milk
because of an increased amount of
water drank, while the fatty secretion
remains constant, which in case of
cows in prime condition is believed to
be rule. We should hardly be will
ing to believe that sailing fully would
have any very marked effect on cream.
