A Jersey.

One of the most productive little Jer-
scys we have come across for some time
is reported to US by J. K. Lautzenhiser
of Kansas City. Bonnie is a pure bred
mite of an unregistered COW, and
dropped a calf on June S, at the age of
II months. Her weight on the ninth
day after calving was 500 pounds. The
average weight of her milk per day was
81 pounds, no account being kept of
fractions. At this rate she averaged
her weight in milk every six
teen days, making a ton in GA
days. At the end of liz days she was
again weighed and showed gain of go
pounds in flesh, the same time giving an
average of s6 pounds. Deducting the
"a days from liz we have a58 days left
during which she gave 1908 pounds,
and a total Of 3,508 pounds in f12 days.
This is seven times her weight, and
with the 60 pounds of flesh she has to
her credit, she is now giving "a pounds
of milk per day, and since the 1st of
August has been stabbed and fed on
dry feed. -[Kansas City Live Stock

School Luncheons.

A prominent physician says that chill
dren's school luacheons should not be
placed in the old-fashioned lunch bas-
ket or tin box, as bad odorD always
cling to a much-used receptacle. What
he recommends is q fresh, clean nap
kin wrapped neatly round the bread
and butter or other cdibles, and a
paste board box to hold it all. The box
ar then be thrown away when the
meal is done. The good sense of this
viii strike every person given to
wholesome living, and it ill also de-
light the box manufacturers, who
should immediately get up a cheap
little box cspecialiy9 adapted to the
conveyance of school luncheons. Par
ents, no doubt, would be glad to buy
these boxes as they buy matches, by the
quantity, should they supersede the
luncheon baskct.-Boston Herald.

A MEXICAN Daudu,

Yonder goes the Dude of Yantepee, a
wealthy young sugar-planter, whose
ancestral acres stretch away beyond the
limits of vision. He bestrides a pranc-
ing steed, whose pace is here known as
stsingle step" and the gorgeous saddle
and strappings that the animal
almost out of sight must have cost a
moderate fortune. Observe how GIN
gerly he holds his gold-headed whip,
and how the big diamondtssparkles in
the end OF it! See his pearl-inlaid re-
yolyers protruding from tie, sash OF
crimson silk which his short black
jacket imperfcctly conceals. His panta-
looms, tight as two candle moulds, are
decorated with double rows of genuine
half dollars up the outside seams, set on
so closely as to overlap and braid to-
gether with gold cord. The pointed
toes of his tiny shoes are
thrust into silver stirrups Of
enormous size. and from his
heels dangle silver spurs that, ten to
one, outweigh mis- feet. His great
sombrcro of white felt has a gold cable,
large as your thumb, wound around and
around it, and its broad, thick brim
bears also q heavy arabesque of gold.
His horse is SO perfectly trained that the
rider never uses the rein, but leans
slightly to the right Or the left to indi-
cate his wish.
The moro, r groom, who rides be-
hind at a respectful distance, forms an
admirable foil to the g~orgeousness Of
his master, whom he constantly eyes
with an air Of excessive pride and dig
nitbG, as oae who says, There he goes,
just look at himl Isn't he q Gaisy2 His
hacienda covers a thousand square
miles, and that white sombrero cost a
hundred dollars if it cost . cent.

consume $50 tons Of beets each twenty

snteed to cultivate a certain number of
lcres iii beets each year. If u factory
wasn't enough, he'd build another, or

Prof. Musketof found that the marmots

Theis Heritage.

The rich mans son inherits land,
And piles Of brick and stone and gold
And he inherits soft white hands,
And tender flesh that fears the cold,
Nor dares to wear q garment old;
A heritage, it seems to me,
One scarce would wish to hold in fee.
The rich mans son inherits cares;
The bank may break, the factory burn,
A breath may burst his bubble shares,
And soft white hands could hardly earn
Aliving that would service turn;
A heritage it would seem to me,
One scarce would wish to hold in fee.
What does the poor mans son inherita
Stout muscles and a sinewy heart,
A hardy frame, a harder spirit,
King of two hands, he does his par
In every useful toll and art!
A heritage it seems to me,
A. king might wish to hold in fee.
What does the poor mans son inherits
A patience learned of being poor.
Courage IL SOIIOW CULICo W DCAA Avs
A fellow feeling that is sure
To make the outcast bless his door;
A heritage, it seems to me
A king might wish to hold in fee.
o, rich mans son, there is a toll
That with all others level stands;
Large charity doth never soil,
But only whitens soft white hands
This is the best crop from thy lands;
A heritage, it seems to me
Worth being rich to hold in fee.
o, poor mans SON, scorn not thy state,
There is worse WEAKNESS than thine
In merely being rich and great;
Toll only gives the soul to shine
And makes rest fragrant and benign;
A heritage, it seems to me,
Worth being poor to hold III fee.

The Highest or Amersoan Peaks.

NEEE g.
1.-THE highest mountain in America
must now be changed from Mount st.
Elias to Mount Wrangle, a little to the
north. Several of these mountains have
been newly measured. Mount Hood,
once roughly estimated at IS, 006eet,
then closely at 16, 000, was brought
down by triangulation to IS, 600; an
aneroid barometer made it 12, 900, and a
m~ercurial barometer 1885. Mount So.
Elias, estimated by D Egelot to be H.
672 feet, is triangulated by Mr.. Baker, to
:, $500. It now appears that Mount
Wrangle, lying to the north, rises IS, :
400 feet above Copper River. which isin
turn 1000 feet above the sea at that
point. IL this holds true, Mount Wran-
gle is at least 1000 feet higher than
any other peak in North America. It
lies within the United States boundary.

The Elephant Ia History.
The ~ancients were well acquainted
with the elephant, which formed a part
| of the fighting material of every great
c~onqueror's army and shared in all tri
umphal professions; but when Rome no
longer sent out her armies to forage the
world for wonders as well as for plum
der, the elephant became to Southern
Europe a mythical marvel only.
b Afte.. the timo of the carly Byzantine
monarchs there is no mention of the
shE4ge earth-shaking beast" as Pliny
called it, in EUROPEAN history, uatil the
year 800, when 'the good Haroun Al
Raschid." Caliph of the Sarac,ns, sent
an elephant to Charlemagne.
In 1856 Louis TX. of France brought
from Egypt an African elephant which
he. sent to Henry III. of England. The
elephant was kept in the Tower of Lon
don, where, VIC judge, he had quite
comfortable quarters, if thsordersgivcn
by the king to tho Sheriff was obeyed,
to wit: "Wc command you that Of the
form of u city 70 cause, without delay,
to be built at our Tower of London one
house of forty feet long and twenty feet
deep for our elephant" What became
of this well-provided beast and how
long he lived the historian does not
tell us.
Early in the sixteenth century King
Emanuel of Portugal sent an elephant
to Pope Leo X. This animal having,
no doubt, been we'll tutorcd beforehand,
Immediately on appearing in the
presence of His Holiness, sank upon his
knees, an action which greatly i'm
pressed the Pope and his retainers.
In 1929 the king of Spain sent an ele-
plant and five camels to king Jam IS ].
| of England. This latter monarch was
extravagantly fond of pet animals, and
had quite o m~enagerie at his palace, SO
that it may be imagined that he was par
ticular,y we'll pleased with this gift.
Much better pleased indeed, than the
chancellor of the excheqaer was, for the
English treasury was at that time sadly
depleted. To pay the ESQ which the
king ordered given to the man who had
brought the elephant took away
every penny ia the treasury, and
made it necessary to refuse to allow
the queen money for a Journey which
she wished to make to Scotland that
year. And when an estimate was made
Of the cost of keeping the animal it was
found to be e275 a gear, and it was no
wonder that Mr.. Chancellor's groans
were both loud and deep. And to make
the matter worse, an additional charge
was made for '~'liquors for the oil.
