THE AMBITIOUS MAID.
How She FaIsiied In Order to Elevate the

Mr.. and Mrs. T, young married

Gently had occasion to wonder at a
deferefce that seemed suddenly to
have crept into the bearing of their
acquaintance toward them. says the
Woman About Town of the New York
Evening Sun. IL was q little mex
plicable. 10 be sure, but none the less
delightful, aud 50 they went on enjoy
ing II even while they wondered about
it.
Now, a short time ago the young
housewife had engaged a demure-
looking maid, a very jewel of a serv-
ant, and wholly devoted to the inter-
ests Of the family, but hat this maid
could have anything 10 do with the
new state OF affairs had not yet oc-
cured TO them.
On IDS Of the recent warm days Mrs.
T met a friend on the street aud
paused for a moments greeting.
How very fortunate you are to have
the luxury Of yachting whenever you
wish, this dreadful weather" congrat-
ulated her friend.
yachting whenever we wish!"
echoed Mrs. T.. Il don't under

Haven't you a yacht of your own
this summer" asked her friend.
Neither this summer nor any other
summer" said Mrs. T positively.
why" answered the friend, "a
fortnight ago my husband and / called
at your home Sunday afternoon. Your
maid came to the door aud told
us that Mr.. T and yourself had
gone out for the day in your new
yacht
Mrs. T. unused deeply thereat,
but decided TO say nothing to the
maid. A few days later, however, a
oma friend calling said: by the
way, / have not yet seer You driving

But | haven't any new carriage"
replied Mrs. T in amaze. What
do you mean?"
why" answered her visitor, "a
short time ago when | called your
maid told me that you had gone out
driving to try your new horses"
A sudden light broke upon Mrs.
rs mind. On the instant of her
guests departure she sought out her
faithful servant.
Mary" she said. 'did you tell Mr..
and Mrs. NJ not long ago that we
had gone out in u new yacht?"
"Yes'm." said Mary.
"And did you tell Mrs. C hat I
had gone out to try my new horses?"
"Yes'm," again said Mary.
"And have you told any other things
like that to other people?"
"Yes'm."
And then it came out that not only
was Mary perfectly devoted to the
family fortunes, but was more ambi-
tious for the elevation thereof than the
family itself, and that upon every pos
sible occasion she had given like in
formation 10 their friends. To one
visitor she had said that they had gone
out 10 refurnish their country home,
to another that they had gone coach
ing with a party of friends, and TO
still another who had called in the
evening that they were giving a din
ner at Delmonico's on that particular
night.
"Oh, Mary, how could you" moaned
the little mistress. Don't you see
what trouble you have brought upon

finds either too rich or rich enough for
him, the sultan, to claim his share of

of the treasury. Each pasha levies hif

his territory. In the second half of
this century the most horrible tortures
were inflicted both upon Mussulmans
and Jewish merchants in order to force
them TO wow their fatal riches. j.
Drummond Hay, in the narrative of
his journey OH the banks of the Leucos,

in ovens. wedges driven in under their

FOR THE FARMERS
Oats Make an Excellent Feed for
All Kinds Of Stock.
How Il Push the Spring Pig Mich
Cows Demand an Unusual
Am6ffot Of Feed.

For all classes Of stock oats rake an
feed the grain alone and still better II
they can be ground before feeding.
During growth, oats is one of the very
best materials that can DO used to secure
a good development ~ bone and muscle,
and with hogs this is quite an item. For
work teams, especially when BUSY st
work during the summer, oats make a
better feed than corn, writes a con-
tractor to the Nebraska Farmer. Dur
ing the winter corn can be used, as IL is
more heating, but during the summer
when strength is desired, oats should
be used partially IL not wholly.
Sheep and stock cattle that arc being
wintered over for growth can be kept in
a good condition On unthreshed oats
and they are a cheap feed usually as
they supply with grain and roughness.
With horses especially there is a con-
siderable waste in feeding in the straw
unless it Is first run through q cutting
box. Stock soon learn TO eat the heads
and leave the straw and this lis q waste.
If threshed the straw should BIO
stacked up carefully, as stock prefer
oat to wheat straw. Then by using a
cutting box and running both the clover
hay and oat straw through IL and adding
a small quantity of bran, q good oatfon
can be made up that will be cheap and
nutritious.
While oats are q reasonably sure crop
generally, yet this year theyar largely
a failure in many localities, and while
generally they cannot be considered a
profitable crop to raise for market, yet
the prospect is that this year the grain
viii sell at good prices. They can al
ways be used to q good advantage for
feed, and whether fed in the straw or
threshed they should be saved in as good
q condition as possible. And in feeding
out care should be taken to use to the
best advantage. With low prices for
both stock and products IL is quite an
item TO manage SO as to realize all the
benefit possible, and one way of doing
this is to avoid waste.
Generally a variety Of o will give
better result than any single material.
No one plant, either oats, corn, wheat,
rye or barley, contains all the elements
of nutrition in the right proportion to
secure the best gain at the lowest cost,
and IL is better to use a variety. And
one OF the best advantages in cutting
the rough feed like corr fodder, hay,
oats and straw and grinding the grain
is that a better opportunity of securing
a good combination is afforded. And il
the threshed oats are ground and the
straw Is cut'or If the threshed oats are
cut before being fed, and bran, oil
meal, corn meal or other material is
mixed with them a more perfect return
can be secured. They make, however,
a good feed alone, but are greatly i'm.
proved by putting in a condition to be
mixed with other material.

Push the Growth.

Now is the time to make the spring
pigs grow. II you expect to make
money in raising hogs you must COM
mence with the pig. A good hog is
never made from a poor pig, only at a
loss to the owner. 1t is now about
weaving time with many filters, and
this must not be made a critical period
in the pigs life, says the Wester n
Stockman and Cultivator. Have your
feed troughs for the pigs in a separate
place from the hogs or sows, and stuff
these little fellows with all the good,
sweet swill they will hold. Make of
bran, ground grain and milk, dish water,
all refuse you can accumulate from the
kitchen, fill up with water what you
lack in other ingredients. Keep two or
three barrels for this use, If your bunch
OF pigs demand IT.. We do not favor
souring swill and always manage to
feed out clean the day after it is made.
Fine ground rye chop Is excellent
when mixed with other ground
feed, especially wheat, bran and shorts,
or ground oats or corn meal. Every
owner of pigs who would make tho bus
mess q success, must use some judg-
ment in preparing feed for them, and
he must be we'll supplied with feed or
sell out to some man who is. No man
can raise hogs without plenty of grain.
This is the first thing TO procure. Tame
grasses with plenty of good water will
grow pigs in a kind OF a way, but it is
not the way that q thorough hog hardly
admires. AS a helper to the grain ana
swill feed, tame grasses, especially
clover, is valuable, as all experienced
hog raisers know. a good substitute is
had by growing sweet corn and cutting
1t for the pigs any time after it is knee
high.
