A pc: is ona thing, but a pet which is
in your arms all the time, which abso-
lutely controls your attention, which you
thrust before the eyes and under the nose
of every acquaintance, not only, but of
every passer, which accompanies you 10
your bedroom and sits with you at table,
and is your boon companion morning,
noon and night, becomes in the eye of
every man who thinks something more
than a pet. 1t becomes identified with
your personality, and that settles you, be-
cause you cannot expect your pets TO be
everybody's pets, and it is hard enough
for men and women of the world to en-
dure what they have to, without volun-
tarily assuming your likings and your
dislikings.-oe Howard in Boston Globe.

a gentleman recently returned from
Mexico brought with him a curious OBJ,
ject which would be of great interest tc
lovers Of natural history. He produced
q segment of a Mexican nut, which was
not unlike a nutmeg in texture, and
placed it in the palm of his hand, closing
his fingers closely around it.
After a moments imprisonment the
hand was opened and the little section OF
the nut rested on its rounded side, upon
which it rocked convulsively. The hand
was closed again for a few seconds.
When it was opened again the mysterious
piece of wood appeared full of animation
ard leaped as gayly as a toad. Then the
gentleman explained the principle and
cause of the movements.
There is" said he, "a small worm in
that nut, which is dormant until its tenn
p~erature is raised to hat OF the human
body-about 90 dogs. When this is
reached the little insect, which is not
more than 4 sixteenth of an inch in
length, is revived from its torpid state
and causes the spasmodic motion. The
nut is indigenous to Mexico, and is
usually Inhabited by the worm from the
early part of August until the arrival of
the following summer 1t can be revived
for nine months in a cold climate.-Phil-

rrecautIons for SOLITARY Tourists.

Solitary touring is open to the obiec-
ton that if you fall sick, meet with an
accident, or happen to be killed, you may
be a nuisance to other people, and espe-

rupt information. To avoid this / have

well TO mention the name of some firm

information should first be sent, and
who would be prepared to defray any
expense incurred in paying the physician,

Huxley, in a recent article of peculiar
value in The Nineteenth Century, calls
attention to the steadily increasing devo-
tion which has beGu and is directed to
measures for promoting physical and
moral welfare among the poorer classes.
The endeavor to improve the condition
under which our Industrial population
live; to amend the drainage of densely
populated streets; to provide baths, wash
houses and gymnasia; to facilitate habits
of thrift; to furnish some provision for
instruction and amusement in public L.
braries and the like, is not only desirable
from q philanthropic point of view, but
an essential condition of safe industrial
development. 1t is by such means alone
that we AN hope to check the constant
%gravitation of industrial society toward
misery" But Mr.. Huxley does not point
out the fact that while a good deal of
this sort Of work went on in Rome, with
out saving Rome from moral degenera-
ton, it Is of exceeding value as an adj
junct of moral effort of a direct sort in
other directions. Globe Democrat.

Paper Fabric for nnildInr.

The use of paper fabric for building
purposes-by the term paper being meant
broadly a flexible sheet madeof vegetable
or other fiber, which has been reduced to
n pulp, and then pressed out and spread
and dried-is now advocated by some
builders on the following grounds; First,
continuity Of surface-that is, it can be
made in rolls of almost any width and
length, is flexible, OIL by gluing several
layers together may be made stiff, and
will stop the passages of air because there
are no joints; second, it has no grain
like wood, and will not split; third, it is
not affected by change Of temperature,
and thus has an advantage over sheet
metal as roofing material; fourth, where
as in its natural condition it is affected
by moisture, 1t may be rendered water
proof by saturating with asphalt, or by q
variety of other methods; fifth, 1t is non
resonant and well fitted to prevent the
passage Of sound; sixth, it is a non-con-
ductor of heat, and a also be made OF
incombustible material, like asbestos, OF

TREATMENT OF COLTS.
Why 1t Should Be Different From That
of WOrk.Horses.

of Work-Horses.
Nature furnishes the young colt
with liquid food, which is exactly
adapted to its wants. The milk of the
dam contains sugar for respiration and
to keep up animal heat-casein to
build up its muscles and bone-oil to
lubricate and cushion its joints. and
lay on tat to round out its form. The
nutriment of this food is in solution,
requiring very slight amount of di.
| gestion to change it to blood. The
feeder of the young colt should make
the change from the mothers milk as
little violent as possible; therefore it is
advisable, when that can be done to
teach the colt to drink cows milk at
weaving, and give it about four quarts
per day with other feed. The wean.
ing can be made very gradual by CIV
ing two quarts of cows milk with &
quart of bran twice per day. and after
little while give pint of oats, be-
sides grass. Early-cut and nicely
cured hay should be given when grass
is gone. and also few carrots. beets
or turnips. These roots will be an
almost perfect substitute for grass.
Grain should be given in very small
quantity at first, and not usu-
ally more than two quarts of oats per
day. during the first winter. But we
prefer food in semi-liquid state for
the colt, and think that bran and
cows milk are much better than oats
the first winter. All green food is
much more easily digested than dried,
and, therefore, the roots are an excel
emit addition, and keep the stomach
and all the secretions in a healthy con-
dition. 1t is always found that
healthy, well-formed colt makes fine
progress when the dam yields good
supply of milk. The intelligent feeder
should try to initiate nature. and fur
nish an abundant supply of food to the
colt, containing the same elements in
as soluble condition as possible SO
that this fine growth which the colt
made upon the milk of the dam shall
not be lost, but continued undiminish-
ed. Very much depends upon the
first winter. Often an attempt to save
a few dollars in feed has resulted in
the loss of ten times the amount in the
value of the horse grown. One can
not afterward make up for a
deficiency at this period. Liberal
feeding and good care produce lib.
eral return. The colt should have the
means of exercise in the open air,
each day, and its stall or stable should
have dry dirt floor with good bed
ding. Plank floors are the fruitful
cause of bad feet. - Minneapolis

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

The only way to find what our

cess in farming, as in other business,

| Grass is one of the strong points
in good farming. and that without
reference as to whether stock is grown

Good implements save labor. The
use of an inferior plow during the
busy season not only delays opera
lions to certain extent, but the
effects of the poor work done extend
to the time when the crop is har-
vested.
The indirect action of fertilizers
in improving the mechanical condi.
ton of the soil and rendering its
stores of plant food available is often
very important Hence, cheap ma
terials, like bone and plaster are fire.
quently more profitable than manure
or artificial fertilizers.
"A handful of wood -ashes should
be scattered around each blackberry
cane. The potash of the ashes is not
only a fertilizer, but exerts chemical
action on the soil, as well as serving
to protect against some kinds of grubs
and insects owing to its caustic quail
ty. 1t should be applied early in the
season.
"A good vegetable garden is an
untold blessing to farmers family.
1t is he althful, economical and source
of enjoyment to one who loves the
country and the variedy of farm life

a farmers certificate of excellence in |
