Don't Sit on Your Foot.

Another de ilorable habit. and one
common to the most refined and fastid-
ious women. Is the practice ofsitting on
their foot. Once they acquire this trick
II becomes second nature, and they de-
velop into such experts that they find
but little trouble in arranging for them
selves this, to them, most comfortable
perch, even when in the most public
places. With cunning twist of the
body and a little side switch of their
skirts they cali accomplish the feat un-
der the nose of an ardent admirer with
out in any way arousing his suspicious.
1t is not graceful, but if the Young
woman is small specimen of humanity
she curls herself up in kittenish sort
of way and with a little air of such
perfect content that one has not the
hardness of heart to deliver her a lee
ture upon the subject. This habit once
fixed Is apt to follow one down to old
age. 1 met not long ago a charmingly
refined old lady who laughlngly told
me that she had never been able to
break herself of this habit, and really
she could perform the feat of sitting on
her foot with all the ease of a girl of 16.
Sometimes the consequences are
rather disastrous. Not, perhaps, as
much now as in the days of hoop skirts,
when results most embarrassing were
apt to ensue. A funny story was told
me the other day by lady friend who
became the victim of her own folly 'It
was, she said, ''in the days when the
small steel skirt was an important part
of woman's attire that took my seat in
a horse car, and, without a moment's s
thought, deftly curled up one foot be-
meath me. When l arrived at my desti-
nation L signaled the conductor to stop
the car and attempted to rise, but found
that my foot had become entangled in
one of the steels of the wretched skirt
What to do 1 dId not know, but finally,
finding that 1 was becoming a target
for all the eyes in the car, L concluded
to ride on, not daring to make a second
move until / reached the stables. / am
sure, she added, THAT from that day
10 this L never attempted to sit on my
foot -"-IhitadsLIoIia Inquirer.

y SWEDISH statesman recently in

against oleomargarine. Next evening
he was invited TO dine with tie king,
who loves a joke. There was only
oleomargarne on tie royal table, and
the statesman DeIally partoOk thereof.
AT the close of the meal the King asked
him, 'Well, sir, how do you like our
butUer?" 1t is excellent replied the
statesman; The contrast between il
and artificial butter is very marked. "
But, - said the King, that is artificial
butter. The other guests roaIe ed with

Majesty, If one can be deceived 50
easily, there is all the more neel of

FARM NOTES.

GROWTH OF LAMBS on DIFFERENT
FooDs.-Four lots of lambs, of o.di-
nary grades, were fed by Professor
Roberts, To determine the cost and ratio
of increase, from different foods, not
only OF the carcass but of wool also
From November to April-fve months
the lambs were given quite variety
The four lots contained three lambs
each. One lot was fed on a carbon
aceous diet, having all the whole corn
and timothy hay they could eat, with
half a pound of roots each, the esti-
mated cost of the food being 81 40.
Another lot was given food of nitro
Genous character, consisting OF 235
pounds bran, 100 pounds cotton-seed
meal, 313 pounds clover and loo pounds
roots, the cost being S4.66. The other
lots were fed on mixed niiroSenous
foods, for comparison with the first two
lots. y remarkable result was that the
lambs fed on nitrogenOus food drank
much more water than the others,
nearly four times as much While the
cost o. the carbonaceous food was So 40,
less than that of the food of the other
lot (S4.66l, the gain from the carbon
aceous food in the five months was As. 40
pounds, the gain from the nitrogenous
foods az. 81 pounds, the cost of the gain
from the carbonaceous food 81. SO; and
the cost of the gain from the nitrogen
Gus food $500. The increase of wool
was also in favor of the nitrogenous
food; the first lot shearing 40 pounds
and the second 7.3l pounds, or an in
crease OF ~ per cent. i'll favor of the
nitrogenous foods.
