FEEDING A HEROINE.
How a Printers Generous Nature Cost
Him His Position.

How a Printers Generous Nature Cost
Him His Position.
A Chicago printer was busily engaged in
hunting work, tells the Times of that city
81 had a good job" he said, in Monroe
street fiction foundry-one of those print
shops where they publish stories of the
Skeleton Hunters Last Gurgling Gasp
order by the cord. 1t is the rankest kind
of rot, and is liable to give printer blood
poisoning if he handles much of it. One
day l got wad of copy that was positively
sickening. 1t was about lovely girl who
had been captured and torn from her home
by a heartless white desperate and his
band of bloodthirsty Apaches.
"That night they camped in rocky
gorge 200 miles from nowhere, and bound
the unfortunate maiden to tree with the
usual buckskin thongs, which cut deep into
her tender wrists. Then they all laid
down and went to sleep. In the meantime
Old Zeke, the Hairy Scout, who was on the
trail, sneaked up just at daylight, when
people sleep the soundest. Zeke sailed in
and killed twenty-five or thirty Indians,
and then released the girl and got her
something to eat out of his saddle-bags
This was where got in my work.
"The first thing Zeke took out of the
bags was several thick slices of Vienna
bread with honey on them. Next came
cold boiled ham, cut thin, an apple pie
with short, crispy upper crust and last
tender spring chicken roasted delicate
brown. Mind you, he had all this stuff in
pair of saddle-bags in the wilds of the
Rocky Mountains, 800 miles from civiliza-
ton, in the year 1886. 1t made me sick,
but resolved that the poor girl should
have one good feed if | died for it. So
showed in another paragraph like this,
completing the bill of fare:
"After getting the girl started Zeke
reached into the saddlebag and pulled out
a bowl Of steaming-hot consomme and a
broiled fresh mackerel, some deviled crabs,
cold slaw, potato salad, a half fry, veal
outlets Dreaded, with tomato sauce, green
corn on the cob, some clam chowder,
stewed turkey, portion of rice pudding,
two cups of chocolate, pork tenderloin,
Rochefort cheese, bottle of Bass ale,
Saratoga chips, a plate of vanilla ice
cream, a Chinese paper napkin, sliced Gu
cumbers, some California grapes and a
nickel-plated nut-cracker."
"Did it go?" asked an interested list
ener.
"No, it didn't" said the printer, sadly,
"but / did. The boss came to me next
morning with a proof slip and wanted to
know Gho was writing that story. | said
the author was making stagger in that
direction, but wasn't giving the girl fair
show.
"'That may be- said the boss, but if he
wants to run a cafe il connection with the
story we'll hire cook and make it easier
for you
Then he told me that l was too smart
to be a printer and had better go out
where the cool air would strike me. /

pasture, it permitted grazing in any part of
the field
Don't use any hogs for breeding pur
poses except those that show evidence in
form, disposition and breed of inclination
to early maturity. Hogs are raised only
for their flesh, and the fewest days it takes
a pig to accumulate enough to be of any
marketable size the more profitable it is for
its owner.
When planting young tree leave very
little wood. Cut back as much as possible.
By so doing the roots will be better able to
provide nourishment in the beginning
Many young trees die because there are
not enough roots to feed the surplus wood
that was allowed to remain on the young
tree when it was planted.
Study to make manure-keep such a
class as farm animals as will best convert
all coarse fodder, with the least amount of
grain, into manure Would it not be more
profitable to feed ont that hay, stalk or
straw stack than TO sell it? In computing
the value of barnyard manure few take into
consideration the humus matter, which
most farms need as badly as the chemical
ingredients.
No person can engage in the artificial
Matching of chicks for early broilers unless
he keeps sufficient hens to provide eggs for
that purpose. One of the greatest diff
culties encountered with broiler establish
ments is procuring eggs that will hatch.
LAYING in the winter season is unnatural
with hens, and to collect eggs from al!
sources is to incur the risk Of lack of fer
tility Of the eggs.
Either red clover or orchard grass, or a
mixture of both, is the best for seeding
down the orchard But before this is done
care should be taken to see that the soil
is properly MANFRED, that the trees are
making a strong, vigorous growth, and
that The soil is in proper condition for
seeding down. Many orcaards are serl-
ously injured by seeding to grass before
the trees have made a sufficient growth
Western Plowmda.
Beet seed is easily grown, and every
gardener who is DESTROYS of fine beets
should raise his own seed, carefully Sc
lecting medium-sized roots having the
characteristics most desired These should
be preserved in sand, carefully set out as
early in the spring as possible, and the
seed stems supported as they grow by
small stakes and strings A dozen beets
will produce a pound or more of ripe
seed.--RuraI New Yorker.
The stables and stalls should be cleaned
early in the morning. which exposes the
floors to the air, thus aiding in the purii-
cation A properly cleaned stable is one
that permits persons to walk within with
out liability of coming in contact with
filth of any kind. Even the odors should
not be detected. To do this may require
more work than some are willing to be-
stow, but good dairying is at the expense
of labor and it should be daily performed if
choice butter is to be produced and the
highest prices obtained.

What tho she be paragon,
By every grace attended?
What tho she be a damsel lowered
By heaven with beauty splendid?
What tho she be prodigy
OF purity and patience,
And exc also a millionaire
Unplucked by poor relations?
What tho she be miracle
OF loveliness and learning,
The undisputed cynosure
To which all eyes are turning?
What tho she be a crowne d queen,
With ne er a notch above her,
What do care for all her charms
So long as l don't love her?
What tho she be modest maid,
With not pretty feature?
What tho she be an awkward, shy
And homely little creature?
What tho she have a freckled face?
What tho folks call her stupid,
And say she'd be the very last
Confederate of Cupid?
What though she wear homespun gown,
Instead of silk or satin?
What tho she's ignorant OF Greek,
And knows no more of Latin?
What tho forever to the wall
Her fairer sisters shove her.
She is the flower of all the earth

to cage birds, such as millet, canary and
hemp seed, but they are too dear for gen.
eral use, though they may be prohtably
given as an occasional treat. Hemp seed
is very stimulating, and should be seldom
given to pigeons in close confinement.
As soon as the leaves have fallen it will

in a great measure be gotten rid OF. So
far as possible this work should be done.
Flat roofs make the warmest buildings
for stock. but they will also increase the
heat within such buildings in summer. In
constructing stable. poultry house or pig
house with flat roof make ventiiator
holes near the highest point, so as TO close
them in winter or open them IN summer.
There is no profit in rearing or keeping
cattle, except through good feeding in all
seasons of the year. No argument IS re-
ouired to prove the truth of this assertion,
for even slightest reflection shows that pro-
fit comes clearly only through utilization
of food beyond the necessity for mainten-
ance.
Many good cows give but small guam
tity of milk because they are not properly
managed. Some persons allow certain
quantity of feed, from which 10 variation
is made. A COW should be fed all she will
eat. and if she improves in the quantity Of
her milk she should be induced to eat
more.

What Insects are Good For.

How would you like to have insects
for foodi In Africa people eat ants we'll
stewed in butter, In Sweden they put
them with rye to give flavor like bran
dy, Pressed ants eggs make mixture
very much like chocolate paste with
milk, They taste like carumels, that
you buy so often at the candy store,
Think of that
The large white ants, or termites, are
roasted, too, in iron pots, by the African
children. They are eaten by handouts,
Just like sugar plums, and they are SAID
to taste like sweet almond PASTE
As for the locusts that we should run
away from, they think it is just so much
bread and butter. They smoke and
boil, or salt and stew them. Some
times they grind them into a sort of meal
and get fat in eating the bread made out
Of Il.
In New California there is spider
nearly an inch long, that is roasted over
the fire, as q very choice bit. The eggs
of a sort of boat fly the MeIicans shake
in kind OF cloth, set them to dry, and
grind them like flour. They sell in sacks,
to make a peculiar kind Of cake. These
eggs, unground, are used, too, Tor
the feeding Of chickens.
How would you like such foodf
am afraid not very well, But the chill
dfen of these far-away countries learn tC
like these insects as much as you woulo
piece of roast beef our Little Ones.

The Most Popular Poem.

We do not know that we concur In this
opinion. Is Moore's poem more popular
than 'NIary Had Little Lamb~ By
''most popular, we take it, the Enquirer
means the most widely known and the
most frequently repeated, The Moore
poem is popular only at a certain short
season of the year; there are other sim
pier lyrics that are taught to children
every day of the year, The poem about
Mary's lamb has been parodicd oftener,
perhaps, than any other English poem
it has come to be necessary part OF
ones education. Another universal
poem is Watts "Let Dogs Delight, " etc. =,
and another, "Little Drops OF Water,
etc., and a third, "Twinklc, Twinkle,

Wolves andtWild Dogs In Ohio.

How are we to account for the re-
appearance of wolves in the thickly-
settled portions of Ohio in such counties
as LicNing and Perry, for examplef
Tradition has it that the last wolf in the
eastern half Of Ohio was killed in 1886,
A few still prowled around in the north
west for some years later, but no one has
seen wild wolf in that part of the 5 ate
for many years. A learned Judge re-
Gently ruled that a wolf is "of the dog
kind" and that, therefore, sheep killed
by wolves must be paid for out OF thu
dog tax fund,
Flocks of wild dogs, possessing all thu
characteristics of wolves, infest some o
the southern counties, especially Fayette
They attack every liv ng thing-men,
women; children, pigs, turkeys, geese,
etc, AID destroy entire flocks of sheep
The cultured, civilized dogs Of Fayett'
County, both in aud out of municipa
corporations, are held responsible iol
these depredations and are prosecuted
shot, poisoned, or taxed TO death.
