But, L tell you, dolt care if she

Edith treat me so beastly and not try

Past alJ PIE. cent.

A countryman attired in home
made suit of clothes was seated in n
wagon on Main street, near Seneca,
waiting for his wife, who was in a store
near by, says the Buffalo Express. 1t
was lovely day and the street was
crowded with people. The old fellow
could hardly sit still, and kept turning
one way and another to see the sights.
Suddenly the gong of an ambulance
was heard, and as the vehicle dashed
past the old man he said between his
teeth, "Well, by Gosh!" and then he
stood up in the wagon and watched the
ambulance disappear in the distance. A
moment later the electric motor came
down the street, deposited cargo OF
people on the crosswalks, and contin-
ned it's journey, while the farmers
eyes grew as large as saucers. Hardly
q second later tally-ho coach with
liyeried footmen and four black horses
swung around the corner, and the old
fellow dubbed over with amaZement
at the number of wonderful things he
hal seen. His better half came out of
q store loaded with parcels. and the
old man from the suburbs said in a
voice that was audible to those upon
the sidewalk, Great guns, Marian,
when | used ter work fer your pa, and
used ter drive inter laown with load
of hay every week. I ha no idee this
was big city, but gol-darned if l

Railroad Tinlr.

you don't know what fast travelling
means in this country"
An Englishman. who had recently
made trip throughout the New En-
gland States and the West, was dis
cussing our railroad system with a
friend at cafe.
Don't, Ell? What do you say about
our limited express to Chicago"
How fast do you claim that it runs ?"
Forty miles an hour"
Now, listen, and Ill give you some
news. In England third-c class pa,sen-
gers ride from forty to forty-fve miles
an hour, and nobody pays extra fare on
account of the speed. From New York
to Albany it is l42 miles by splendid
track. There are ten express trains
daily between these cities, and their
average speed is twenty-nine miles an
hour. Between London and Sheffield,
1872 miles, the Great Noithern runs
nine trains daily, with an average speed
of forty-five miles an hour. One train
makes fifty miles an hour. Between
New York and Boston the average
speed is thirty miles an hour, and the
fastest, train composed exclusively of
sleeplng-cars, makes thirtv-nine miles
an hour Between London and Man
chester, 203 miles, there are twenty
trains daily, with an average speed of
forty miles an hour, and some trains
making fifty. Between London and
Glasgow, 440 miles, there are thirteen
daily expresses. and their average
speed is almost forty miles an hour, one
train being much faster than this"
"Yes, but that is only on favored
lines"
"Not at all. All over England and
Scotland express trains, composed OF
first second, and third class carriages,
make from thirty-fve to fifty-five miles
an hour, while in America thirty-five

ming. The fastest regular train in
America, so [ am told, is one on the
Baltimore and Ohio, which makes the
forty miles between Washington and
Baltimore in fifty minutes. There are
three or four fast trains between New
YORK and Philadelphia, covering forty
six miles an hour. Between Liverpool
and Manchester there are tifty-two
trains daily, none of them slower than
forty-fve miles an hour, and four OF
them making fifty-one and third miles

Fifth avenue parlanl @, are called smart.
Their hats were the very newest things

which set off her fine figure conspicu-
ously, while the other contrasted

for about the nobbicst female dudes

This seasons fashions are truthfully
said to be distinguished by no special
charact eristic, women who make a
study and an art of dressing having
come to the conclusion this year that
to he we'll dressed one must have dis
tinct individuality. This tendency
reaches peculiar development in the
lop-sidedness of many costumes. One
half of q dress need not match the
other in its shape, colors, or even alto
gether in its kind of fabric. Taere

stage who had a high soprano voice
tinct from the other as though they be-
longed to separate persons. Her
method of utilizing this phenomenal
duality was to wear dark, rich Span
ish dress on one side of herself, and II
light, airy German dress on the other.
She also halved her hair in the same
manner by wearing wig blonde on one
side and black on the other. She
would come out on the stage in profile,
presenting the German side to the an
dience and sing German yodel song
Then she would turn half about sur
prislng the people with the contrasting
brunette, and in that aspect sing e
Spanish romanZa. Our fashionable
women do not vet divide their hair and
their voices into two individualitias,
but they do present rather incongru-
Gus sections of dress, and / don't know

the popular duality of .ekyli and

Every teacher who has the estab,
lishment of his profession in mind, who
desires above all things to see it upon
firm basis and recognized as a pro-
fession by men in general, must lend
his support to the teachers institute
must actually aid in the work that is
eminently its mission to perform.
The influence possessed by these
bodies of teachers, who are thorough,
wide awake, and in earnest, is q mat
ter of no small moment. They give
dignity to the profession, and security
to the capable and efficient. They
bring out the best talent-the "survlv-
al of the fttest." They give opportu-
nifty to the common people to under
stand the principles which underlie all
true education, since hero the teacher
must absolutely commit himself to-
ward effectual plan, system, and
method.
Institutes are essential and necessa-
ry to the complete perfect free school
system; that efficiency and power to-
ward making teaching profession, a
life-work, can be gained only by this
concentration of institute effort. In
this way only has eminent success
been achieved. --Adeldide ]. Ruther-

A SONG.

There is ever a song. somewhere, my dear;
There is ever a something sings Away:
There's the song Of the lark when the skies are
clear,
And the song of the thrush when the skies are
gray.
The sunshine showers across the grain,
And the buebird trils in the orchard tree;
And "A and out, when the caves drip rain,
The swallows are twittering ceaselessly.
There is ever a song somewhere, my dear,
In tho midnight black, or the midday blue;
The robin pipes when the sun is here,
And the cricket chirrups the whole night
through,
The buds NAV blow and the fruit may crow,
And the autumn leaves drop crisp and sere
But whether the sun. or the rain, or the snow,
There is ever u song, somewhere my dear.

The best practice approves the pressing oi
butter into neat pound prints as the most
"taking form" for putting it in market. The
old system. Of packing In tubs aud jars has
nearly passed away.
The Jersey COW boom in Colorado and the
west is now on. Fashionably bred Jerseys
go at almost any price that may be asked for
them. From two to six hundred dollars are
not Uncommon for cows of high repute.
Every farmer Of Colorado will find 1t to his
profit 70 have small pasture of alfalfa for his
hogs. No good healthy swine eau be grown
in pens and close enclosures. They need
grass, fresh air and cool water to grow
healthy.
Swill or rlop.fatted hogs never make the
best of pork. The feed the brute partakes
will crop out in the flesh. The sweetest
meat is made on the choicest feed.
Colorado will have corn sufficient this year
to fatten thousands of swine. 1t should be
utilized to make pork since the hog returns a
better profit for the gram he eats thau does
any other domestic animal.
The Ben Davis is the fayorite apple In Col
orado and 1t has come TO stay. So has the
in every particular. In some of the eastern
states it winter kills, but here in Colorado
the climate seems to agree with it.
The profits of dairy COW is derived from
extra feed, that is, feed consumed in the re-
quirements Of the animal system to support,
&
kind of food COW will digest and assin,ilate,
th. greater the increase Of profit. A COW,
10 matter how great her natural capacity may
be, will yield no profit unless she be fed in
excess Of the requirements named.
No man who owns COW can afford to have
her afraid OF him, for it would be u loss 10
las owner every time the cow should be in
any way frightened, while to run COW to
pasture is like throwing money away. The
COW Is simply a milk.niaking machine, and
should be hept in the best working condi.
ton. and for her this condition is one OF
quiet. A COW that should be in any way
worried will not do her hest Make pets Of
the cows aud they will make money for the
