WHAT A LADY DOES NOT DO,

There are several things always absent
In a true lady, which girls will do we'll to
notice and remember
A lady, for example, will never ignore
little kindnesses.
Conclude in crowd that she has right
to push her way through
Consume the time of people who can i'll
spare it.
Wear on the street dress only fitted to
the house or carriage.
Talk loudly in public places
Wear torn glove, when a needle and
thread and few stitches would make it
all right.
Fail In answering letters or returning
visits, unless she is Ill or in trouble
Fret about the heat or the cold, the sun
or the rain, the air, or the lack of it.
Make an engagement and then not be on
time
Complain Of her family, or discuss per-
sonal affairs with strangers
Always believe the worst rather than the

A lady does not do any other than make

perature chills and the plant is stunned
Not In less degree does warmth help ON
the fattenlng process in the farm beast.
and equally does cold retard the
growth as well as the fattening process.
Fattening animals for their flesh Is. to a
degree, an artificial process, and it can
only be made completely successful in a
cold climate by Introducing artificial con-
dltlons during the winter. No plan of
feeding can be called economical without
these conditions being maintained. If. as
stated and generally conceded, it no long
er pays to grow and feed beef cattle. than
the hlndrance to profit must occur during
the cold period of the year, certainly not
during the grass season, promising. of
course. that when we speak of grass we
mean that each day the grass is plentifully
supplied and good.
We are not discussing the necessity of
giving our care and feed to well-born cat
tle-bred for meat production-as in
previous numbers of the journal it has been
shown that profit and full satisfaction in
y way can only come from growing the
This has been shown by delinenat-
ing clearly just what outward form is best

formation must be present that the meat
may be abundant where the best cuts are
found, as well as suitably marbled, as,
under modern teachings, no flesh is first

When, by common consent, it is agreed
that cattle are not. under prices that now
prevail, grown at profit to the grower

If there be any leak or shortcoming.
There can be no business proposition more
correctly stated than this, that to render
the production of beef profitable, steers
must be turned off at the age of So months
or younger, and that this cannot be done
unless we make the winter seasons avail
able, adding to growth and fairness during
each and every winter month. The old
notion of merel y ''wintering owe" drop

Economy in Winter Feeding.

Do not misinterpret the heading. When
we speak of economical feeding it is never
with any other thought in mind than that
true economy in feeding leads to thrift.
and thrift to profit. 1t is complained that
meat-producing animals are selling at toe
low figure, and that cattle growing and
feeding does not pay.
Feeding through summer Is a simple
process Cattle are self-tenders at Will. 1t
Is good economy to have an abundance Of
grass within reach during the summer, for
then the weather conditions are favorable,
and the natural result is that all animals
that eat grass do exceptionally well during
the season of this cheapest of fooo, pro-
vided always that they have plenty of it
But to winter economlcally-hereco comes
the rub. 1t has been too much the custom
to allow animals to grow up on the farm,
taking no account of outlay, hence no est1-
mate worth the name can be made at the
final marketing. Especially is it of the
first Importance that every item OF outlay
incurred during the winter should be
charged up, as it is during that period, if
during any, that loss will occur.
When we essay to grow crop it is use
less to expect favorable results through
blowing and seeding alone. There are
certain conditions that are equal In i'm
portance with these preliminaries, and
heat and moisture are the first among
these indispensables.
In winter feeding, while there can of
course be no success without putting the
flesh on, 1t should not be lost sight of that
1t is of equal importance to hold to the
flesh we get. The crop will not grow and

Master Brooks was overbearing and de-
manded his removal. After four hours
blockade and conference, the company re-
moved Mr.. Brooks. and the men returned
to work, An hour later they quit again
to demand the discharge of two switchmen
who had made themselves disagreeable.
This matter was settled after another hour
passed, and it is now thought the trouble
Is over. The railroad officials say the
whole trouble is due to ill-feeling between

ceived from Chicago that the strike was

A Remarkable Curiosity.

Geo. w. Fox, of Redwood City, CAL,
has in his possession one of the most re
markable curiosities ever found on the
Pacific coast-nothing more or less than
an abalone shell, in the interior of which
firmly incased in the pearly shell secretion.
there is a baby's shoe and stocking. The
shape is perfect in every particular, but
the size indicates that the owner of these
pedal coverings was a very young child.
The sole of the shoe and the toe, badly
worn and red with understanding, can be
plainly seen where the secretion has not
entirely enyeloped it. While the stocking
cannot be seen, threads of the wool can be
drawn from the pearly easement by means
of crochet-hook, or even hooked pin.
The buttons are covered with abalone,
looking like pendant pearls set in row
along the sides of the odd shaped shell.
The little tassel is still plainly seen, as it
is also hole where one of the buttons has
been pulled off. There is but one solution
for the mystery: The body of drowned
infant must have been carried by the tide
and the foot passed into the open shell-fsh,
which was closed, and the imprisoned
foot held until it was severed from the
body by decay; in the meantime the fish
covered the shoe with its secretions.

TALKING AT TABLE,
How to Conduct 1t Means of Education.
Sunday School Times

N.
Sunday School Times
There Is no end to the modes of conduct
ing taLle talk as means of child educa-
ton; and there is no end to the influence
of table talk in this direction. however con-
Quoted. Indeed, it may be said with truth.
that table talk is quite as likely to be in
tluential as a means of child training when
the parents have no thought of using it to
this end, as when they seek to use it ac-
eordlngly. At every family table there is
sure to be talking; and the talk that is
heard at the family table is sure to have
Its part IN ehlld's training, whether the
parents wish 1t to be so or not
There are fathers whose table talk is
chiefly IN complaint of the family cooking,
or IN criticism Of the mothers method in
managing the household. There are
mothers who are more given to asking
questions where on earth their children
learned to talk and act as they do, than to
mqulrlng IN what part of the earth the
most important archaeological discoveries
are Just now IN progress. And there are
stlll more fathers and mothers whose table
talk Is wholly between themselves. except
as they turn aside. occasionally. to say
sharply to the little ones: ''Why don t
you keep still, children, while your father
and mother are talking?" All this table
talk has its influence on the children. 1t
leads them to have less respect for their
parents, and less interest in the home
table except as place of satisfying their
natural hunger. 1t is potent, even though
it be not profitable.
Table talk ought to be such. in every
family, as to make the hour of home meal
time one of the most attractive as well as
one of the most beneficial hours of the day
to all the children. But in order to make
table talk valuable parents must have
something to talk about at the table. must
be willing to talk about it there and must
have the children lovingly in mind as they
do their table talking.

GREAT LOSS OF LIFE.
One Hundred and Fifty Miners Entombed
in "a CoIIiery,

LONDON, March 1O.-A terrific explo-
sien occurred today in the Morsa colliery.
in Glamorganshire, Wales, which, it is
feared, will be attended by much loss of
life. One hundred miners are entombed,
and communication with them IS impossi
BILE at present 1t is feared that all of
them have persisted.
Later advices from Morsa colliery are
that three hundred miners are entombed
but many have been rescued from the
workings near the east main shaft. Most
of those taken out are unhurt but several
received fatal injuries. The latest estimate
is $50 lives lost.
LONDON, March 10.-Eight bodies
shockingly mutilated have been recovered.
Great excitement was caused by the rumor
that appeals for help could be heard from
the entombed men. The rescuers are con-
stantly succumbing to the effects of the gas
and obliged to make speedy retreat.

PERRIN SHEDS TEARS
Testifies in the Sensational Trial for Bank
Robbery.

ASHLAND. Wis, March 8.-Perrins' tes-
timony was the event of the day in the
Hurley bank robbery trial. He told the
threadbare story of the discovery of the
robbery In plain straight forward man
ner without giving any new facts. On
cross-examination he said be had no direct
knowledge of the stolen money that was in
the bank on the night of the robbery.
Perrin broke down and shed tears when
the attorney asked him why he was so agi-
tated when informed of the robbery. He
had the instinct that he would be singled
out for the arrest and thought of his
mothers sorrow which completely I'M
nerved him.
