Wearing Out Cows.

Some old fogies have an ide2r that high
feeding, as they call it, but what sensible
men call full feeding, exhausts the vitsli
ty and energy ofa COW, causing her TO
wear out sooner than she would on a
short diet Possibly COW may be over
fed, but it will be difficult to make her
eat more than she wants to or needs, if
she is fed regularly. A starved COW
might gorge herself to her injury, but a
COW that has regularly as much to eat as
she wants, will not injure herself by eat
ing, no matter how much is given her.
As to exhausting her, it strikes US that
she will hold out much longer, as well as
do much better, if she is fed up to her
full capacity. A man on half rations
would wear out and break down much
sooner than if he had fall ratiOns The
same is true of milch COW or Of a work
animal. There is nothing gained by a
starvation diet. 1t does not prolonge,
but shortens lite. Suppose, however, it
shortens life, would there not be more
profit in a large yield for "a few years than
in small yield for double the number
of years? The small yield might not
pay cost, while the large yield would
afford a profit The longer the COW is
kept at loss, the greater is the total
loss. 1t used to be thought that there
was profit in keeping pigs in half-starv-
ed condition for a year or fifteen months
and then fatten them. But pig rsisers
have become wiser, and now keep the
pig growing from the start, and maze
him weigh at the end of few months
about as much Is ne used to when a year
older. They get the same result in less
time and with less feed. So a COW kept
in thriving condition gives a larger
return in less time, and is therefore more
profitable. Do not be afraid Of wearing
out or exhausting a COW by giving her
anough to eat, because she consequently
gives more milk. Keep her at her best.

Three Men Who Thought.

A young assistant of chemistry in the
Boston Institute of Technology happened
some years ago TO be in the northern pc
ninsula of Michigan. While there he
observed that the Portage river and Lake
Lindon were of a peculiar coppery color,
and when asked the cause was told that
it was copper that escaped from the
smelling and stamping mills of the Cal
umet and Hecla mines. The young
teacher put his thinking-cap on and then
requested the company to allow him 10
experiment with view to saving this
copper The company was only too glad
to offer facilities, so the young man gave
up his summer vacation and set to work
and was able to devise a method by
which about per cent of the copper
mined was saved, and almost pure cop
per, too. The young professor no longer
earns trihing salary but has acquired a
comfortable income by this summers
labors.
Some years ago mechanic near New
Haven was riding in a railway train and
was iolted and Jared as in the early days
of railway travel, passengers were apt to
be. He didn't fret and fume as the other
passengers did, but began to study and
experiment with a view to making a
spring that would reduce the jolting to a
minimum. He at last succeeded and his
spring was adopted by every railroad in
the country. His name is Carlos French
and he has just been elected to congress
from the New Haven district.

Training of the Voice.

Sir Morell Mackenzie said in a recent
London lecture that the training of the
voice in ancient times was considered to
be of great importance. QuintilliGn said
that. Before ali, nurses should speak
properly. The boy would hear them
first, and would try to shape his words
by initiating them" A speaker should
not hear his voice too loudly. Singers
should avoid tobacco, alcohol, and fiery
condiments. With regard to miraculous
effects of various drinks he thought they
were mostly harmless, having good
mental or moral effect on those who used
them, but as a rule, he was of opinion
that single glass of water sufiieeed.
Smoking took away the delicacy of tone;
by its use the powers of coordination
were lost. 1t was absolutely essential
that dramatic people should lead most
careful and regular lives. A singing
voice register might be described as a
series of tone of like quality produced by
a particular adjustment of the vocal
chords to receive the air-blast from the
lungs. Perfect utterance of certain vow
els could only be produced when the
mouth cavity had certain shape both
as regards length and breadth, or, in 9TH
er words, on certain notes.

Compensations.

News came that baby had been born
in the Nelson household, q dear little
girl, with blue eyes, but alas with
misshappen foot which would cause her
to limp all her life. When grandma read
the message, she went to her own room
without word, and the young aunts,
busted themselves with their work, look
ing suspiciously moist about the eyes.
That night, however, Edith Lee came
limping in with her two crutches, and
was told all about it, because she was
the dear family friend and knew all the
home secrets.
"And you feel dreadfully about it,
don't you?" asked she, pattIng one of
grandmas withered hands.
ayes, my dear, we do, how could we
help it? ?"
"She will suffer so :" at will be so
hard for her when she grows up" said
the aunts, mournfully.
"Now, my dears, just listen to me"
said cheerful Edith, "She viii be sorry,
and sometimes mortified when she re-
members she's not like others, but she
will have great many eompensations-
"Look at me I've stumped through
life on helpless limbs, and the conse-
quence is that trust the world and love
it. Other people get blue, and say they
can't believe in people. | receive so

up to me, and ask if won't get on and

pull up their horses to let me cross the
street. Walters in hotels give me seat

Took Another View OF Il.

About ten o'clock the other night
watchman at the foot Of Griswold street
saw man acting so queerly that ne ap-
preached and demanded what he was
doing there.
"Going to jump into the river" was
the reply.
"When ?"

"Yes, right here"
"What forq"
Nothing to live for"
"See here" said the watchman, as the
man pulled of his coat, 81 wish you
would do me a favor. l never nit
man a good stout punch in my life. If
you are bound to go in | wish you would
stand with your heels to the edge of the
wharf and let me swing my right on your

"Not if know myself, won't" said
the man.
"Why not? You might as well be
found dead with broken nose as with a
whole one"
II allow no one to touch my nose if
can help it."
"Well, you are a mighty particular
man"
"And you're mighty mean one"
"Don't sass me"
"And don't you rub against me-"
After holding himself ready for a row
for a couple Of minutes, the stranger put
on his coat and sauntered of, saying that

Generosity Rewarded.

Young Mr.. De B. is broker, and, like
most men of his walk of life, generously
disposed. As he left his office one day
last week he was accosted by rough
looking, raggedly dressed man, who re-
quested the gift Of fifty cents, with which
to purchase a dinner.
"Wby should give you fifty cents for
your dinner ?" asked young Mr. De b
What claim have you upon me p
None," said the beggar. That is,
no more than the hungry and penniless
always have upon those who have
something to spare"
"Do LOOK as though had something
to spare ?"
p" You are broker" returned the aims
seeker. Il never knew broker who
had nothing to spare to a hungry man"
Why don't you go to work ?"
Il may have to if you decline to as
sist me-"
THAT is strange. What is your
work ?''
"I'll tell you am a pickpoeket, and
1 have just this afternoon been discharg-
ed from prison. l have no money no
friends. / am, as l have said, hungry.
You see what am brought to. starya-
ton or crime. If can get a good din
ner 1 may be able to stave of the other
alternative for awhile"
Young Mr.. De B. was impressed-nat-
urally so, think. Putting his hand in
to his trousers pocket he drew forth a
half dollar and handed it TO the ex-con-
yict.
"There," he said, "there is your din
ner. I shall be glad if can save you
from crime, even for little while"
At this young Mr.. De B. started on his
way, but the beggar was at his elbow.
say, my friend, said he.
Well"
"Would you mind telling me the
time" ."
There is the clock in Trinity stee-
pie"
Il know that but your time-what
is it?
Impatiently Mr.. De B. felt for his
watch. 1t was gone.
81 have been robbed !" he cried.
Precisely, said the ex-conyict, and
here is your watch" taking it from the
pocket of his greasy coat. Il took it
while you were hesitating about giving
me half dollar. The Lord helps them
that help themselves, but he also helps
them as helps others. Take your watch.
l don't need it. You got it cheap"
And so saying the beggar turned and
walked down the street, and was soon
lost to view
Then young Mr. De B., replacing his
timepiecc in his pocket, sauntered home
ward, thinking deeply all the while, and
thanking his stars that, being a broker,
he was, like most men in his walk, gen.
erously disposed.-Chaiter.

Something to Avoid.

A little personal pique, bit Of wound
ed vanity, a sudden flame of anger often
undoes the most substantial and faithful
work, and utilities the most intelligent
and wise action. 1t is one Of the painful
things in experience that effort if often
defeated by these small, purely personal,
and often momentary feelings, which are
generally uliintelligent and unwise. Life
would be freed from some of its most
painful features if men always acted II
each other on a basis of real justice and
intelligence, and left their small personal
feelings and preiudices out of sight. A
mans work ought TO be judged by itself
and for itself alone, and the strength of
a mans position ought to rest solely up
on what he is able to do. And yet most
of us are constantly neutralizing the best
work of others because it is not done in
our way, and are constantly failing to do
Justice to others because of some small
personal prejudice against them. The
really strong, clear-sighted man is the
man who is able to put himself out of
the question and to judge others by what
they really are and do, not by their re-
lations to him. In this working world
their is neither time nor strength to be
always coddling our small vanities and
still smaller prejudices. The world does
not stand in order that we may be pleas
ed. 1t stands as place for the doing Of
honest work in the best way, and If that
work can be better done in some other
way than the one we prefer, our business
is to let it be done and reojice in it. If
you wish to see things clearly, and to be
Just with your fellow-men, keep clear OF
the fumes of yaLity and the thick atmos-
phere of mere personal feeling. Make it
a rule to see what man is and does, and
to value him by these things. A person
may be very distasteful TO US and yet be
eminently useful and successful in the
world.-Ctristian Union.
