Some two years ago, Aaron White, a wealthy resident of Thompson, died, leaving 5000 to each county in the State, to purchase historical works and volumes of political and moral philos- ophy for the law library of each. The bequests became available about three months ago and l.. D. Brewster, G. w. Wheeler and Curtis Thompson, who have charge of the fund, have already eX- pended several hundred dollars and have purchased an assortment of solid works for the library, such as the Encyclop@- dia Brittanica, the International Encyclo- padia, English and American history by such famous authors as Hume, Bancroft, etc. Local and county histories will also be added. Five hundred of the 5000 has been put at interest and will be reserved.

 A new Sunday school library is need ed by the South church and fund has been started for that purpose. Sunday, at the Children's day exercises, an offer ing from both church and Sunday school was taken, amounting to about $200. This, wifh the amount already on hand, makes $450 already secured. It is hop ed to raise $500, with which a fine and complete library will be obtained.

What He Needs.

What is needed to help the
average dairyman is the intorma-
ton how to improve the herd al
ready in his hands. He needs to
be taught to test each COW sep.
arately, both for quantity and
for quality, and to have the
nerve to dispose of the nOn-paylng
ones, while building on those
which turn him profit. He needs
to know that like produces like in
the animal as well as in the vege-
table world that good animals
produce good offspring, and poor
ones as certainly bring forth poor
progeny that the male is half the
herd in breeding, and that he can
not expect to improve his herd
without a good sire that although
a grade male may be better than
either that the greater and more
rapid improvement which he pro-
duces makes him cheaper in the
end at a good round price than
either the scrub or the grade as a
gift; and that it is only by weed
ing ont poor cows and breeding
from his best ones, from a pure
blood male of individual excellence
and good pedigree, that he can in
a few years bring his herd up to an
average annual yield of 800 pounds
ofbutter per cOw.-Prairie Fdrmer

EIectrifyinp Animals.

Some interesting experiments
have been made lately in electrlfy.
ing the wild beasts of a menagerie
in winter quarters at Bridgeport,
Connecticut. A savage baboon
was tied alter a desperate struggle;
sponge at the end of a wire was
put into his mouth, and another
wire tied to one of his paws. A
current of two cells maddened the
beast, and the irritation increased
unit IS cells were used, when 1t
grew less. When 40 cells were
applied ths animal became letharglc
and very much like a man over
come with drink. The resistance
was 5000 ohms, a surprisingly
large figure. After his release the
baboon became furious with rage.
Small monkeys acted very much
like children when electrified.
When the current struck them
they screamed asifin agony ; when
the current was with drawn they
looked puzzled. One monkey tore
the spo nge apart as though look
ing for the current inside, or to
find what had bitten him. A tame
seal was made very vicious, and
bit the wires In two. A hippOpota-
mus took the full force Of the bat
terry of AZ cells without wlnclng.
The wetness of the hides of the
seal and hippopOtamus made 1t
impossible to ascertain the degree
of resistance. Wild carnlvora
showed keen constituencies to the
current, their resistance varying
from 5000 to $4,000 ohms. Broth
er wolfe sat on his launches and
cried piteously when the current
was applied to him. Elephants
took nearly 10000 ohms, and they
actually enjoyed the sensation ex-
cept when a strong current was
passed through the trunk. They
did not seem to care for a few cells
in other portions of the anatomy,
but under the influence of the full
battery of AZ cells they rubbed
their legs together, caressed keep
ers and visitors aud squealed with
delight.-BaltimOre Sun.

A Muskrat on His MettIe.

A number OF years ago, while |
was hunting muskrats in marsh
on Long Island Sound, there being
several feet of snow on the ground,
| CHANGED to get myself in between
one of these animals and his bur.
row, which happened TO be the
only means, beyond his running
away from me, that presented itself
for his escape. AS he took in the
situation at a glance, was curious
to see what he would do about it.
Imagine my surprise when he
started to come down for me as
fast as his legs could carry him,
and in few moments he was too
close for me to shoot without
tea ring his beautiful pelt all to
shreds, for l at once saw that he
was an unusually handsome specl-
men, and to thus spoil him would
be a great shame. When within
about yard Of me, and his eyes
actually flashed out their meaning
at his being thus cornered, made a
spring at me and landed on the
top of one of my leather shooting
boots, a pair that came above my
knee; in an lnsta mt he commenced
tearing away with his teeth at a
great rate, but before he had
bitten anything but my boot l
grabbed him at the back of his
neck, and between tbrottling him
and bumbing his head against the
heel OF my gun, he was rendered
lifeless. This formed the only
case of a muskrat attacking a man
that has ever come to me, and in
this particular instance | admired
the little brute's bravery all the

How TO Clean Ivory.

Ivory ornaments are quickly
cleaned by brushing them with a
sharp, not very new toothbrush to
which a little soap is given, then
rinse in luke warm water. Next
dry the ornaments and continue to
brush nlI the luster appears, which
can be increased by pouring little
alcohol upon the brush. Should
the article have become yellow
dry it IN gentle heat and it vii
regain its original appearance.
