TRUE PHILOSOPHY.
A Story of a Man Who Never Lost His
Temper.

A Story of Man Who Never Lost His
Temper.
Madame Neclsar relates the following
Of Geneva:
1T was said of him that he never had
been out of temper: some persons. by
means of his female servant, were de-
termined to put this to the proof. The
woman in question stated that she had
been his servant for thirty years, and
she protested that during that time she
had never seen him in passion. They
promised her sum of money if she
would endeavor to make him angry;
she consented, and, knowing he was
particularly fond Of having his bed
well made, she on the day appointed
neglected to make it. NJ. Adauret OBJ
served it, and, the next morning, made
the observation to her; she answered,
that she had forgotten it; she said moth
ing more, but, on the same evening, she
she again neglected to make the bed;
the same observation was made on the
morrow by the philosopher, and she
again made some such excuse, in a
cooler manner than before. On the
third day he said to her: You have not
yet made my bed: you have apparently
come to some resolution on the subject,
as you probably found it fatigued you
But, after all, it is Of no great conse-
quence, as begin to accustom myself

WORK FOR WINTER.
Things Tssat Can BE Done to Advantage
in Cold Weather.

Things T.sat Can BE Done to Advantage
I'm Cold Weather.
One of the principal items of work
that can be done to good advantage
during the winter is hauling out and
applying the manure. During the win
ter is the best time to make manure,
and the most economical plan is to haul
out as fast as made, applying direct on
the fields. There is more time than can
be spared for doing this from now un-
til spring than there will be again I'M.
til the seasons work is finished up.
Manure may be applied during the
winter on land that has been plo~aa
in the fall preparatory to planting in
the spring or on grass land. either pas
ture or meadow. Applied during the
winter the rain and snow will carry
the soluble parts into the soil and the
growing plants will derive the benefit
IL, the Gig. c. course When aP r1c5
fresh the first crop will derive the full
benefit because SO much of the fertili-
ger will not be in a soluble condition,
but considering the economy of hand
ling this plan will be found good
one.
When there is snow on the ground a
sled can be used to good advantage, as
it will be less work to load and unload
than with a wagon. Care should be
taken to scatter as evenly as possible,
and it is better to manure thoroughly
rather than to scatter thinly over a
large surface.
On most farms during the winter is a
good time to get up the seasons sup
ply of wood. There is SO much to be
done after the seasons work fairly
opens that everything that can be done
in advance will be SO much saved ALI
things considered, the cheapest wood is
that cut green and piled up under shell
ter and allowed to get dry before using
This is especially the case with what
is needed in the kitchen. At least. a
supply to last until after harvest should
be laid in, and it will do no harm to
have a supply that will last all through
the season.
Pruning can be done whenever there
is a thaw. 1t is not good plan to
prune trees or plants of any kind when
the limbs are frozen. The brush should
all be gathered up clean and burned
after the pruning is finished. Getting
this work done during the winter will
save just so much time IN the spring
with the additional advantage that
many insect pests that prey upon the
fruit and trees will be destroyed.
The planning of the seasons work
can be done in winter, the acreage that
is to be devoted to each crop and in
what fields the different crops shall be
planted. In doing this, SO far as is pos
sible, good system of rotation should
be planned and carried out, SO as to use
all the elements of fertility in the soil
to the best advantage. After the acre
age for each. crop is determined the
seed can be procured in good season, so
as to have it on hand when wanted. By
having the plan of work all laid out
and the seed needed on hand there need
be no delay in pushing the work when
the season opens, and being able to
push the work will be an advantage. -

TOP-FLOOR AIR.
An Authority Who Says Smoke Smut L.
Thickest the Higher One Climbs.

An Authority Who Says Smoke Smut L.
Thickest the Higher One Climbs
In view of the agitation over "sky-
scraping" buildings in Chicago, and the
claims of some that high buildings are
essential for pure air, an article in the
Pail Mall Gazette on the air of London
is interesting.
At what elevation is the air of Lon
don purest? asks the Gazette. Accord
ing to Mr. W. J. Prir, who gave evil
dcnce before the select committee on
house of commons ventilation, at about
thirty or forty feet from the ground,
Lower than that you get the dust,
higher than that you get the smoke
from the chinneys- Mr. Prim made
certain experiments with frames of
wood covered with blanketing material
put at different elevatDns-ole on the
top of the clock tower at Westminster,
another on the highest point Of the
roof, and others ct various heights
down to the court yard After five
hours exposure there were found to be
moro smuts at the high elevations than
at the low, but on the court yard there
were considerable quantities of dust.
On the whole MIR. Prim came to the con-
clusion that the purest level was be-
tween thirty and forty feet, and that
nothing was gained by going higher IN
less you went very high indeed-say
some four hundred or Eve hundred feet.
All this is rather fatal to the common
notion that the highest stories of the
tallest blocks of flats are especially de-
sirab BILE for their salubrious air.

SWIMMING A HORSE.
Low the Animal Should Be Ridden In
the Mater.

Low the Animal Should Be Ridden in
the Water.
Pictures are often seen representing
horsemen sitting bolt upright in their
saddles while swimming their horses
across stream, the whole line of the
horses backs being visible above the
water. The artists who make these
pictures can hardly lave ridden horse
while the animal was swimming, or
seen the thing done A French cavalry
officer, in military journal of Paris,
the Revue du Cercle Mlitaire, gives
this account of the way a horse should
not be ridden, and Of the way he should
De rie,uen, in swimming stream:
To begin with, it must not be sup
posed that a horse always s.vims
naturally. and with ease, the moment
he is off his feet in the water. The
animal under such circumstances has
but one notion: t., l.ec cr lis head out of
the water, and to lift his shoulders as
rs high as possible.
In doing this, his headquarters sink,
and he finds himself almost standing
upon his tail, or at least in a position
three-quarters erect.
In such a position, if the rider draws
upon the reins, or throws his body
back in the least, the animals hind
quarters will sink more and more. his
body will take vertical position, and.
beating the water uselessly with his
forefeet, he will finally sink
As soon as the horse gets off his feet
in the water, let the rider grasp a hand
full of the animals name. leaning at the
same time we'll forward upon his
shoulders, but without touching the
horses head The riders knees should
be pressed tightly to the horses sides:
otherwise he is likely to be swept off
by the water.
This is the only position which will
enable man to remain in the saddle,
and the horse to swim at the same
time
The reins must be held loosely. and
each we'll to one side. If the horse is
to be guided in the water. give the
loose rein little jerk in the direction
desired. But it is in the highest de-
gree important never to pull on the reins

inches from the floor to the bottom OF
the nest-box. A ledge (A) may be
placed in front of the opening, to per-
NIT the hen to enter the nest, but it
should not be over two inches wide.
Legs, blocks or bricks may be used to
keep the nest-boX off the floor. The
box should be in rather dark place
When the hen has laid, she will not
attempt to eat the eggs in the box, but
will come off to the ground to do SO,
where she will be foiled, as she can
not then reach the eggs.-Farm and

That day Pete's tools lay untouched
on the leather bottomed bench in the
shoemaking shop, while the dead
woman lay in the narrow Giving"

cared for. -tt
Pete put Sonny's NAV away in
humblest fashion. Then he quietly led
the child back into the shop, and shut
the door on the neighbors inquiring
eyes
When Sonny piped out with little
ouaver in his voice: Sonny ahnts

looked around bewildered in the
silence for his mother. Pete reused
himself and said gently: Eyer maws

an envelope to Mrs. Eliza beth G. Porter,
in care of the Maurice Porter Memorial
hospital, Chicago, Ill
The letter ran as follows:
DEAR SISTER ELIzABErH: It is with
interest read your letter telling me
of your satisfactory work in the hos
pltal. You could have erected no more
lasting and useful monument to Maur-
ices memory than this hospital for
crippled childhood

little child who, like your Maurice. Is
an only son. But his father is poor
shoemaker, and Sonny, as the boy is
called, is very near to his heart
The little fellow met with an acci-
dent about two years ago. There has
resulted a complication of hip-joint dis
ease with other trou bles.
There will have to be an operation.
His father cannot give him the skillful
care he ought to have.
Can you take him into the hospital?
If SO, write me at once.
Your affectionate brother.
S. P. GILBERT, M. D.
A favorable answer came to the doc
tor.
So Sonny went to the hospital in care
of the kind doctor.
Pete stood on the platform and looked
after the receding train.
He had told the doctor in an anxious
whisper just before the train left that
"Sonny's NAV he'd alters lowed ter
give Sonny uh chance, an he wanted
Sonny ter hev nh chance sure"
The weeks passed by patient Pete as
he pegged on alone waiting to hear
about Sonny's chance
There came a brave little scrawl
from Sonny.
Pete rubbed his glasses, drew the
light nearer, and began to slowly spell
out Sonny's words. They were these:

To expect the cow to thrive without
exercise is to demand from her that
which would not be expected from
other stock Exercise promotes the
appetite, thus nabling the COW to con-
sumo more food, which is converted
into milk. Close confinement in the
stalls in the winter must sooner or
later affect the health of the cows. A
covered open shed, or a large yard,
will be of advantage. 1t will do the
cows no harm to have the run of the
fields in dry weather, even if they Sc

Bum blefoot is also caused by high

Manure as a Fertilizer.

Manure is not always complete fer
tilizer. 1t may be lacking in some inn
portant element and contain an excess
of another. If it has been exposed to
the rains, so as to permit of its being
leached, it will have lost much of its
nitrogen. The quality of the food
also affects the quality of the manure.
Instead of manure being a complete
fertilizer for plants it is really one of
the most variable substances prodn"~'
or used on the farm.

NDr Sped on through
tie blackness of night,
And cleft the pitchy dark in twin
with the CLEAN of Its fierce headlight.
In crowded car, noisome place,
Sat mother and her ehi,a:
..ie woman's face bore wants wan trace,
But the little one only smiled,
And tugged and pulled at her mothers dress
And her voice had a merry ring.
As she lisped: Now, mamma, come and CUES:
What Santa Claus IL bring"
But sadly the mother shook her head.
AS she thought Of a happier past:
ale never can catch US here" she said
The train is going too fast"
20. mamma, yes. he'll come, 1 say,
So swift are his little deer
They runs all over the world to-day
I'll hang my stocking up here"
She pinned her stocking to the seat
And closed her tired eyes,
And soon she saw each longed-for sweet
L In dreamlands paradise.
On a seat behind the little maid
rough man sat apart,
But soft light DER his features played,
: And stole into his heat
As the cars drew'up at busy town
The rough man left the train,
But scarce had from the steps jumped down
Ere he was back again.
And a great big bundle Of Christmas joys
Bulged out from his pocket wide;
He filled the stocking with sweets, and toys
He laid by the dreamer's side.
At dawn the little one woke with a shout,
Twas sweet to hear her glee:
Il knowed that Santa would find me out,
He caught the train you see."
Though some from smiling may scarce re
frain,
The child was surely right
The good Saint Nicholas caught the train,
And came aboard that night
For the saint is fond of masquerade
And may fool the old aud wise.
And so he came to the little maid
In an emigrant's disguise.
And he dresses in many ways because
He wishes no one to know him,
For he never says Il am Santa Claus
But his good deeds always show him.
