His Prompt Obedience Might Serve rs an
Example for Many Children.
A young girl was crossing the Public
Garden one morning, upon the main
path which crossed the bridge. She
was accompanied by magnificent mas
tiff, who strobe along beside her in the
most companionable sort Of way, look
ing up into her face occasionally, as if
to remark casually that it was a very
fine morning or to ask if there was any
thing he could do for her.
The two crossed the bridge together,
and finally came to the Charles street
gate. Here the young girl, evidently
not wishing to have the care of the dog
in the busy streets, turned to him and
said:
There, that is far enough now,
Marco. You need not go with me
any farther, but turn about and go
home"
She did not take her hands out of her
muff to point the way, and she spoke as
she would to a small brother, in pleas
ant, conversational voice.
Marco looked at her with his large
eyes, then looked across the common,
wagging his tail slowly, as though he
were thinking how pleasant it would be
to go the rest Of the way. Finally, he
turned back to her again, and with
movement OF his head and eyes, asked
as plainly as though the words had
come from his mouth, please let me
go Il little farther, it is such a fine
morning?"
NO, dear; I'm going shopping, you
know" answered the girl, explaining
the difficulty, as if Marco were human.
'There'u be crowds of people, and [
shall not know what to do with you.
But go along now, there's a good fell
low, and I'll be back soon.
Without another word, Marco turned
and walked back across the gardens.
He did not stink away, as some dogs do
when sent back, but marched leisurely
along with his head in the air, stopped
moment on the bridge to watch the
children skating below, then trotted on
toward Commonwealth avenue.-B0Ston

only mentioned ii because she knew that
the waist would not have been sent so
unless it was a mistake. She also
thought it would be good thing to tell
the young girls, so they would be more
particular in future.
"Who could have made that mis-
tale?' asked the president, as she
stopped in the midst of her reading.
No one answered, and Helen Marcy
would not betray her friend. But Hem
rietta, after q few moments considera-
ton, spoke out clearly; Il made that
mistake, girls, and did not remedy it,
but threw the waist into the box. l

this. l really did not think it would

Mrs. Leavenworth concluded her let
ter by giving the sad facts connected
with Martin Beers young life, and the
account touched the hearts Of all the
"busy workers" and brought tears to
their eyes.
Henrietta seemed to be completely
overcome rs she listened to Mrs. Leav-
enWorth's letter. When she went home
she stopped at the store and bought ma
terial enough to make two waists for
Martin Beers, and when she cut them
out the next morning she was so par
ticular about her work that her mother
said: Seems to me you are taking
more pains than usual with your work,
Henrietta. "
Yes, mother, I've got through doing
my work upside down. l began to
realize how careless and thoughtless
I've been all my life. l have done so
many things in such an upside-down
sort of way, and I've let them go
without remedying the wrong either l
begin to realize it all now. l may
sometimes thoughtlessly do more of my
work upside down, but if | do, dear
mother, | will stop and take it out, and
do it all over again until it is right.
One can do a great deal of work in life
upside down. and l hope hereafter,
God will help me to have all that do
finished up square and true and lasting,
right side up"
My dear, l can not tell how happy
you've made me-" the mother replied,
as she put her arms around her
daughter and kissed hor.-SuSaw I.

Dairy farming furnishes constant

of being smothered by larger estab-

While it is generally conceded
that posts set in the ground upside
down will last much longer than in
the reverse position, the why and
wherefore of it has been mystery
with the public. The reason is this:
The pores Of the wood are so con-
structed as to draw and push the moist
ure upward from the roots to the leaves
and branches of the tree, and this same
principle of action causes the constant
drying out OF post set reversely to its
natural growth, while if set down the
pores will constantly draw the moist
ure upward, thus causing its premature
decay.
Apples for domestic use may be
kept in a cool, dry cellar in this way:
Get made number Of tiers OF broad
shelves one foot apart, with a raised
edge of an inch to keep the apples from
falling off. Spread the apples on the
shelves and cover them with any kind
of cloth, sacking, spare blankets, or
such material. A little clean, dry rye
straw might answer this purpose. As
apples are used take those which
ripen first, become shriveled, or have
specks OF decay on them, leaving the
sound ones, 1t will pay to get cheap
blankets or felt carpet for this use, as
a few barrels of fruit may be kept un-
til late in the spring. Pears are kept
remarkably well in this way.

DEHORNING COWS.


Wisconsin Station.
The Wiscon Experiment Station has
been endeayoring to solve the problem
as to the effect Of dehorning on the
milk production. It has been held by
high authority among dairymen that
the dehorning craze as it is called,
would in time prove disastrous to the
dairy interest. This question can not,
of course, be settled at once, but care
fully conducted experiments can settle
the question of the immediate effects
The Wisconsin Station gives the follow
ing conclusions as the results of their
experiments to date:
We have then as the result OF dehorn-
ing twelve COWS: First, q slight falling
OF in the milk yield; second, an iu-
crease in the fat, and third, an increase
in the temperature of the animal, de-
noting slight degree Of fever for a
few days after the operation. While
these results are not conclusive, vet
they indicate that dehorning well-fed,
healthy cow is not by any means a seri-
Gus operation, and unless further ex-
pcriments show q more marked iniuri-
GUS effect on the animal than the one
given above, the question Of dehorning
cows will depend entirely on the prac-
tical advantages to be derived from it,.
If by dehorning we can insure an econ
omy in feed and storage as has been
claimed, and if at the same time there
is no perceptible falling off in quality
and quantity of the milk, then the OPP
Grafton will be one of personal conven-
fence. One thing should, however, be
taken into account, and that is the con-
dition of the animal. A COW that is
poorly fed or out of condition is GER
tainly in no condition to undergo an
operation of any sort, nor will there be
any benefit derived from it. The ques-
ton of injury to the constitution or
temperament OF the animal can only be
settled by experiments on large num-
Der OF animals extending over several
years.

$500 Wheat.

An extraordinary movement in wheat
has been going on the Chicago market for
Two weeks past in Septe mber calls. An
old speculator named II Hutchinson made a
corner on September wheat, and after get
ting all his triggers set announced that he
had September wheat for sale at So per
bushel. His movements astounded those
who had been dealing in shorts. in that
wheat would not touch 81. and many of
them were caught mapping. Hutchinson
was cool on-communicate, alert and
prompt. and went ahead with his scheme,
turning neither to the right nor left. The
outcome was that they had to come to his
terms-Septembe wheat jumped and
jumped. until it reached On Saturday last
s. per bushel, and old Hutch" realized
in profits about So 100000.
The same day in New York there was
great excitement. December wheat went
up to 1861. When the announcement came
from Chicago that II hutchinson had threat
ened to put the price of December wheat
up to enormously high figures, there was
a howl of rage. This came AFTER Inc close
eff The exchange and there was rush OF
December shorts to cover. The specula :
tive pit was deserted, and crowd OF ex-
cite,i traders gathered in the main aisle
and commenced TO trade. Some procured
chairs to stand upon. while others clam
bered upon the ratings along the aisles.
AT this impromptu session brokers began
TO hammer away al prices, and December
climbed gradually upward until it reached

Chicago had reached los on a very excited
market. May wheat in New York touched

half hours after the close of the regular

Mr.. Tucker. in his speech ON Saturday
night, stated that he was first in favor Of
appropriatng the proceeds Of the sales OF
public lands to educational purposes to be
distributed on the basis of population.
That was his first choice. If he could
not get that then he would take the Blair
Bill. He further said that he was in favor
of protecting all of EiIginia's interests.
1t is easy for Mr.. Tucker or any one
else to make declarations OF this kind in
the heat of a political campaign. and
where the exgencies of the canvass re-
quire that something should be done To
change the current of popular sentiment.
Mr.. Tucker, at the same time, announces
that he is in favor of the election of Mr..
Cleveland and that he stands on The plat
form adopted at ST. LOUIS, and the Con
VentiOn which nominate him.
This forces him into antasonistio posi-
items. Mr.. Cleveland has declared for free
raw materials. and the ST. Louis platform
declares against national aid to public edu-
iation. Mt. Tucker cannot serve two
masters. He must be for the one Or the
other. If he favors the st. Louis plat
form he is opposed to both of the educa
tional methods he says he would favor.
II he favOrs the election Of MI. Cleve-
land he is for free raw materials, and
consequently against the interests of Vir-
ginia.
The fact is. when Mr.. fuckers positions
are analysed, it is difficult to tell where he
stands. He is both in favor and against
the protection of the interests OF Vir-
glnia.
But whatever may be his honest views
on these questions, should he be elected
of which we think there is not much prob
ability. he would have to conform his vote
and his influence to the determination OF
his party caucus. What that will be We
have the experience of the past to guide
us. The Blair Bill has been defeated three
| times by that party as represented in Con
gress. The Mills bill has been approved
which it's trainers have declared is the
first step in the direction of free trade
Mr.. Mills, MIR. Breckenridge. Mr.. Carlisle
and the President are free traders. They
believe in tie Goctrlne and honestly SO nt

eyade or dodge it.
