The Train Boy.

a boy who gets a position as train boy for
our company must put up certain amount
OF money as a guarantee. He must be rec
commended for honesty, intelligence and &C
tvity. He must take care of his stock, put
ting it on the car and taking it off. He is
charged with everything he takes out and is
held to the strctest accountability on his re-
turn He must turn in every cent, There
are only two ways in which he can make any
thing outside Of his earnings One is by occa-
sionally scorching a granger on book. He
may be able TO get fifty cents for twenty
five cent book now and then, but if the COM
pany finds 1t out the boy is discharged An
other way in which he can make something
extra IS by taking books and papers of his
own and disposing of them.
/ have often been asked the question,
"What becomes Of these train boysp Occa-
sonally bright, attentive boy will get
position in n railroad or an express office. !
regret to say, however, that the inducements
are for him to go to the devil. There is some-
thing about the business which will send
boy to ruin unless his moral stamina is we'll
grounded. They turn out as sporting men as
a rule. ! was thinking the other day Of six
young men whom | started in the business as
many years ago. One Of them is now an ex-
press messenger Another is a clerk in a

house in New Orleans. The fourth is in Jail
in a Michigan town, and the others are still
on the road. That is not such bad showing.
But am forced to admit that it is above the

LOVES OF TIE BIRDS.
Bright Planase Captures the Hearts Of the
Eeaihered Eemalea.


One would hardly look for romance in the
farm yard hennery, coquetry in the pigeon
house, or jealousy and other passions generally
considered human among the forms which
constitute the so called lower animals; yet do
we but glance behind the domestic curtain of
the brutes we shall see many of the human
weaknesses portrayed in the lives of our hum
bic friends.
There was once upon the Central Park lake,
New York, a flock of tame ducks, and one
autumn wild flock, during migration, came
plunging down 10 rest, among them drake
of magnificent plumage and fiery eyes, who
spied out the tame ducks and soon scraped
acquaintance, playing the part of the enam-
ored swain. His flock left him, yet he lin
gered on, not without results The tame
male leader lost his influence and power; his
feathers were dmgy and rough compared to
those Of the gallant cavalier from the far
north, and finally he was beaten and driven
away, a forlorn and miserable object that
spent his time on the bank deyising, perhaps,
schemes for the overthrow of his enemy
The wild drake completely captivated the
females 10y his Establishments, the old lover
was ignored, aud the conqueror, the bold
knight, remained for several seasons faithful
to his new loves
That attractive dress and features have
their effect upon the female mind among
the animals there is not the slightest doubt
The director of the Berlin gardens relates
that a male pheasant having lost its tail
feathers, which gave it ludicrous appear
ance, it was Immediately spurned by the
females, vino took up with another cock pos
sesssd of greater personal attractions. In
other words, the females, as in the human
family, prefer an attractive lover or husband
according to their ideas, and are very like
the lowest tribes of human beings today,
where the biggest and most powerful man
has the most wives.
In an African tribe the men steal to a
camp, knock down the woman of their choice
with a club and drag her away to their home.
In another tribe, in a socaled civilized coun-
try in the north Of Europe, the woman is
placed on horseback and followed by her low
ers The one who runs her down and drags
her from tile horse at the risk Of her life Sc
cures the matrimonial prize. This is the
method Of the woodpecker in many species.
The female is followed by score or more of
gay cavaliers, fighting among themselves,
chasing her from tree to tree, over hill and
dale, until finally she becomes the property
Of the fittest, the one who can now defend
her against the rest, and when he can put
them to fight the courtship is at an end
the bride is won. detroit News.

The following from G. G. Bell, in
the Springfield Record, is good,
sound advice. Poor land may, with
the help of fertilizers, yield a toler-
able crop during a wet, growing sea-
son, but is money and time thrown
away when dry weather follows. Mr..
Bell says:
All the open markets Of the world
continue to be glutted with Jugs and
common nondescript tobacco, 50
much so that the prices for such
hardly pays for raising it, 1t GER
tainly will be we'll for the planters
to consider this fact well, before they
plant crop Of tobacco this season,
and be sure not to overcrOp, and not
plant it on poor lands, and depend
upon fertilizers to IN Ike the crop.
Fertilizers help when properly used
on good land, but thin land and fer
tilizerS make very poor stuff and
will not pay to fool with this year.
Real good, useful leaf, with good sub
stance, properly handled and well
ordered, is about the only kind of
tobacco that brings fair price now,
or at least nothing under that quality
will pay. OF course it is impossible
to make a crop of tobacco and not
have some Jugs, but to plant moder-
ate crops and give it real good atten-
ton from the time it is cured will
lessen the quantity of Tugs very
much, as we'll as to improve the
quality of the leaf Let the motto
be, "Make good tobacco or none"

The hidet tax is giving the Waysand
Means Committee no small amount
of trouble. The Western Republi-
cans will not stand the tariff any
longer unless they are compensated
by a tax against foreign raw material.
The Eastern manufacturers can't
stand this. If the hide tax Is struck
out there will be trouble in the West.
II II is kept on II will destroy the en-
tire New England export trade in

road to travel. A strictly revenue
tariff Is the only taxation that will

The Alaska seal catching problem still
continues to be the leading subject of discus
sion in the trade Various suggestions are
being made by people who do not know
much about the business. One proposition
is that the government preserve the islands
of st. Paul and st. John as breeding islands,
and permit no intrusion there by any one
Another is that the seal be domesticated
On the ground that the seal skin is worth
more than sheep skin, it is proposed that
seals be "raised cheaply on the shores of
Salt Lake" This proposition is unique still
we find the editors of scientific paper Civ
ing it expression. As shad have not yet been
introduced there, and blue fish are unknown
to the Mormons except through the medium
of refrigerator cars, it will be rather hard to
formulate a plan to govern the migrations of
tue seals. Halter and Furrier
