Ability REQUIRED To I,e "a Dude.

Not little ability is needed to be a

laughed at the idea that fop should
for q moment think of holding that

ret him off the Bulgarian throne moth

would suffice. lie has gone quietly

a Convenient Calendar aad Stand.

The most convenient, valuable, and novel
business, table, or desk calendar for 1889, il
he Columbia Bicycle Calendar and Stand
issued by the Pope Mfg. Co.. of Boston,
Mass. The calendar proper Is In the form
of pad of 365 leaves, one for each day.
The leaves are 5Bx294 inches, portion of
each is left blank for memoranda. and az
the leaves are sewed at the ends, any entire
leaf, as we'll as the memorandum blank, can
be exposed whenever desired. The pad
rests upon portable stand. and when placed
upon the desk or writing table the entire
surface Of the date leaf is brought directly
before the eye, furnishing date and memo
randa impossible to be overlooked. The
upper portion of the stand is made of
pressed pulp, with columbia" in raised
letters at the top, the whole handsomely
gided, and practically indestructible. Al
though this Is the fourth year of the Column
oia calendar, the quotations are fresh and
new, and are interesting and instructive to
the public rs well as the cycer. A depart
IRE is made this year, in that portion of tho
quotations pertain to typewriting and ste
biography, with occasional reference to the
new Becker typewriter made by the Pope
Mfg. Co. The reading matter in no way
interfcres with the calendar, and the infor-
mation contained on on the leaves would, If
placed in book type, make fair sized vol

rhe Indian sheet stealer.

Before describing the feats Of tho
juggler, / am constrained to mention
q class of dexterous Indians who de-
serve to rank with sleight Of hand per-
formers. | allude to tho sheet stealer.
Not the clumsy operator who strips
your clothes line in the dead of night,
but the bold and skillful manipulation
who takes the sheet OIL your bed while
you are sleeping ON it, This is COM
mon East Indian trick. and the way
they manage il is this: The adnirer
Of linen, before entering q house or
tent, nnoints himself thoroughly with
cocoanut oil, which is done in order
that, should any one be awake and
seize him, he may be enabled to slip
from his grasp like an eel. Thus pre-
pared he creeps into tho house as
noiselessly us possible.
The nights in India arc generally
warm and oppressive, and the sleep of
most people, though heavy, is uneasy
and disturbed. This the thief is well
aware of, and he takes advantage of it.
He quietly crouches down under the
bed, and with feather gently tickles
the nose of the sleeper, who, half doz-
ing, rubs his nose and turns over.
While he is turning, little of the
sheet is withdrawn from under him.
When fast asleep the feather is applied
again, and this process is repeated UNI
til the entire sheet is withdrawn.
Sometimes the thief rolls the sheet up
as closely as possible to the body Of
the sleeper and when tho sleeper turns
over he rolls off the sheet. Charles IL.

WARM WATER foa DAIRY cows.
Results OF q Test Made by Well Known

purpose of determining how milk and but

Holstein COW Mac was chosen for the
test, which begun Jan. 10, 1888. and
lasted eight weeks. For the first mont
the COW was fed bran. ensilage and corn
stalks. Half the amount of bran and en-
silage fed daily was given in the morn.
ing and the remainder ut night. The
stalks were fed at noon. The second
month Mac was fed ensilage, bran. corn
meal and ground oats mixed; the daily
ration was divided into two feeds, while
hay was fed at noon. The first week
and every alternate week during the
test, water warmed to go degs. F. was
given the COW to drink. On the second
week and alternating weeks cold walei
was given her.
