At last have found her.

To lead and not drive, seemed but right.

They Learn Trades.

A friend Of the school for young women in
Columbus, Hiss, says that the idea on which
tho school is founded is that women, being
physically weaker than men, should be more
carefully educated in order that they may
make the most Of such opportunities as are
offered them" This school has more than
two hundred boarders, and they are taught,
aside from the regular course OF study, var
ious kinds Of homework, telegraphy, type
writing, type setting, stenography, art deco
ration, wood carving, dressmaling, as they
may elect, and all are carried to proficiency
to enable self support.-Boston Transcript

StephRnie's Romance,

4 little story has crept out concerning the
Princess Stepharie, the wife of the late Aus
trian crown prince, which is Of interest to
Americans It seems that the youthful prin-
cess, before her enforced marriage with Ru-
dolph, had fallen in love with an American,
who is described as a commercial traveller
He was young and good looking and the af-
lection was mutual. However, such thing
was not to be thought of as their marriage,
and so the union with the crown prince was
brought about. At the wedding the young
American was in the church, and the sudden
recognition of her lover caused Stephanie to
shrek and faint away. This is the first time
an explanation Of the scene Of the we'd
ding has ever been given ---~---

FEEDING SHEEP.

Feeding sheep during winter
confinement desesves notice, though
1t is hardly possible to lay down
rules that shall govern all. Per
feet regularity as to time OF feed
ing should always be observed III
order to accomplish the best re-
suits, and again they will eat, tor
il the racks are filed too full they
will soon acquire the habit Of vast
ing.
American Wool Reporter advises
that sheep IN confinement be fed
three times per day and that they
be- given q novelty. 1t is we'll to
feed hay twice during the day
say morning and night, and at
noon give them pea straw or corn
stalks. Eudesvor to give your
lambs clover once each day, at
least; also a feed OF corn and oats
with perhaps q mixture Of oraH.--
Peas and oats sown together are q
profitable crop for the farmer to
raise aud make a splendid feed for
sheep, the peas answering the pur'
pose Of corn. II you have roots,
either turnlps, carrots or beets,
feed them two or three times q
week, as a change from dry food is
productive Of good results.
Breeding ewes, toward LANDING
time especially. should never be
fed on corn or other heavy grain
without a mixture OF grain Of
lighter nature, and then the corn
should always be the lesser guam
tIty. Potatoes are splendid feed,
aud by many are regarded as equai
to roots. The subject OF ensilage
as a feed for sheep is being widely
discussed, and by those who have
tested it Is said to give excellent
results. One thing that is too
often neglected is 10 furnish your
sheep plenty Of running water
Give your sheep plenty of exercise
On pleasant days always allow
them to run out In the yard. Use
straw freely in bedding them, and
clean out the manure from the
sheds several times during the WIZ

make your barns very unhealthy ;
besides, 1t Is thought by many that

you will find the following con.
trivance just the thing you need
After you have your horse harness

long enough to reach over the top
of the horses head and come down
on each side through the rings Of
the bit. Have small ring fasten-
ed in each cad OF this strap, aud
pat the ends OF the strap through
the rings Of the bit from the inside
to the out. Then snap or buckle
your lines in these rings ID the end
Of this strap, and by pulling on
your lines you will find that you
can pull the bit out of the horses
teeth up in his mouth. and by this
means hold the hardest mOutbed
