district made the foundation for one or the
finest avenues IN the city"
After the noon lunch l suggested that
we visit Lincoln Park.
''>1;u we take a carriage or the street
cars. asked the duke, as we left the
lunch room.
"Oh, let us walk" 1 said. So we started
along ieisurely, enjoying the different OBJ
jects O. interest.
DO you know what that building is that
is covered with vines and shaded by those
great trees that seem older than the city
itself?" I inquired as we came to d hand
some stone building.
''No, but l think it must be some old mo-
mastery built by the Jesuits when they
roamed over the western world" said the
duke.
And those fine buildings in the yard
must be the different seats OF learning" i
suggested.
Here is a man in uniform, I'll ask
him." said the duke, stepping forward.
''Sir, what is this old building covered
with IVY"
Potter P8Imer'5 residence, sir!'' said
the man, looking very much surprised that
anyone need to ask such question.
And those outer buildings. what are
they?"
Potter Planners stables, sir!'' said the
man with a peculiar smile.
We had been the guests of Mr.. Palner's
hotel and now we had seen his home. You
may imagine our surprise, and l must
confess, chagrin, to think that we had
mistaken private residence for anything
so grand and old After that Potter Pal
mer's residence became a byword with
us.
Lincoln Park is one of the finest in the
city. 1t is the geological garden of Chi
cagO, and full of interest from the entrance
gateway to the farthest nook. The objects
that called for our special attention were
the sea lions. They were playing in the
water, diving and swimming or summing
themselves in the little artistic lakes and
caves that had been prepared for their use.
The little prairie dogs were a novelty to
us. Their little mounds of earth gave me
my first view of life on the great plains Of
the West.
'These animals we never see in the old
world" [ said, as we stood looking at
them, busy at their play
They are found only in America, and
then only west of the Mississippi river.
Washington Irving has given a very in
teresting description of their habits OF life
in one of his beautiful sketches"
Here are the bear pits. Sec that old
fellow hanging by one foot to the limb of
that old stump" said as we came to the
caves of the black and brown bears. One
of the brown bears seemed perfectly at
home on the limb Of an old stump in his
pit, trying to catch the peanuts that the
children were throwing to him. But the
! bear at the foot had the feast while the one
in the tree was working hard for little pay.
! The great grizzly bear, looking up from
| the mouth of his cave, was the greatest
curiosity. | had never seen one before,
but had often read of them.

Swine Raising Profitable.

Swine may be made the most profitable
of farm stock Their productiveness is
amazing if counted up for a few years. A
SOW well cared for viii produce two litters
of from seven to ten pigs each every year,
and what the total number would be at
the end of five years, allowing one half Of
the pigs to be sows, we leave to some of
your young friends who have mathemati-
cal faculties to calculate and inform us for
the benefit of other readers These pigs
say sixteen for the two litters-may easily
be made to weigh 200 pounds each when a
year old. so that one SOW will yield her
own 5000 pounds of pork every year for
five or six years, equal to from 1900 to
10000 pounds of pork for her contribution
during her useful life. But it is very rare
" that the pigs are looked upon as worthy
of much careful regard. They are more
commonly treated as the weed, of the farm
stock, prolific, growing without care and
in spite Of neglect. 1t would not be a1-
visable to increase their number, but it
is advisable to increase their value, by
lessening their number and improving the
keeping of them Pigs of 100 pounds
each are much less profitable tnan five of
200 pounds each, and one well kept SOW is
worth more than twice as mach as two i'll
kept ones which pro luce each one litter
in the year. To reduce the stock one
half and treat these twice as well would
treble the profit from the years increase.

Qualities of Fowls,

An exchange tells US that good rangers
always make the best table fowls. The
flesh of the indolent bird is tough coarse
and stringy. 1t requires an epicure to de-
eide. To some, anything that wears feath-
ers is chicken, and the larger the fowl SO
much the better, since it supplies the
greater amount of food. Not so with all
A delicate morsel fitted for the invalid or
the refined palate, is chicken to some,
while the ordinary case cannot discrimi-
nate beyond the greater furnished, and
called chicken. Small, pure bred fowls
have small bodies and sweet. tender juicy
flesh. By the majority, yellow legged
fowls are preferred, as they possess yellow
skin, and the greater portion of our do
mestic fowls possess this color notwith-
standing the fact that yellow skinned
fowls often have the toughest flesh, espec-
tally the flesh of the large fowls. Tur-
keys, when fattened On corn, have pale
yellow skin, while the leg colorlng is
either bronze, black or pink. A yellow
leg is not becoming to black turkey, and
is out of place. Slate or blue is more in
accordance

HAD A THEORY AND ACTED ON IL
Remarkable Rescue of Actress from
Death.
New York ibune.
New York I ibune.

A story overheard ran something like
this: 81 was sitting in pox at a theater
one evening when one of the men present
said: Il always look around in theater
for the easiest way of escape in case of
fire, or for some way in which | could
reach the stage if any accident were to oc-
cur there. Now suppose that actress
gown should take fire | would step on that
garland there, steadying myself by the rail
with the arm which held my overcoat,
reach my foot across to that frieze in high
relief and spring thence to the stage. In
tbirty-fve seconds, | should have reached
her and have the flames smothered with
my coat | laughed at him. Well, as it
happened, that very actress gown did
catch on fire, and she gave piercing
scream that almost threw the house into
panic What did my friend do? Forget
all about the fire scheme and lose his head
like the rest? Not one bit of it. He did
jdst exactly what he said he would do.
His coat was around the woman in less
time than it took me to wonder at his &C
dvity. and the audience was cheering him.
1t was sort of discipline with him, you
see Repeated in print for the benefit OF
those who would have the chance to play
the hero some time.

Winter Care of Breeding Cows.

Many breeders of cattle can recall where
they have lost valuable animal not for
want of knowledge on their part, or of the
men in charge of the herd, but because of
an accident that might have been prevent
ed had more careful attention been given
to the surroundings. Forthought, says
an exchange, would prevent a large share
of the accidents apparently common to
farm stock. In making wi.lter arrangne-
ments, which applies now as well as earlier
where not already provided for, the breed
ing cows should have special attention to
guard against what may cause the loss of
a calf. Not only should they have light,
comfortable well-ventllateu quarters, with
food calculated to preserve d healthy con.
dition, and thus promote the growth OF
the foetus, but there are details In the
daily management quite as important. On
most farms it is the custom to turn the
cows out a portion of each day for ex-
ercise and to get water Where cows are
heavy in calf, there is constant danger in
this unless there is more caution than is
usully displayed by the average farm hand.
A common cause Of di niger is the presence.
animal hat is always ready to attac!. her
companions. Such a COW is liable TO cause
more loss than she is WORTH and the only
safe plan is to get rid of Der at the earliesi
opportunity; or if for any reason, it is de-
sirabe TO retain her, provide a separate
yard for her. Slippery. icy watering places
are dangerous for the cow in calf, as fall
may cause abortion, even is the cow her
self escapes injury in other ways. 1t il
needless to say that the safer plan is to
provide water in the stable, so the cows
need not be turned out except for exercise.
and then only when the yards are not icy
and the weather is pleasant. In thus
guarding against what may cause abortion

ATTACKED BY TWO RACCOONS.
Mrs Pomilear Kills Both Animals After
Desperate Fight.

Mrs. Pomilear. prominent resident of
Emville, small village about eight miles
from Egg Harbor, N J, was attacked re-
Gently by a large raccoon. Mrs. Pomilear
was waking from her house to the barn
when the animal sprang from behind
wood pile and confronted her. Mrs. Pom.
llear turned to run, but the raccoon had
her in his grasp.
The animal chung to her and snapped vi
ci?usIy, but Mrs. Pomllear finally man
aged to shake it off, and, picking up
club, Drained it by a well-directed blow.
She then proceeded to the barn, and upon
Der return she was terrified at seeing an
other raccoon IN her path. 1t was the mate
of the one she had killed. Before the an
ima could attack her Mrs. Ponilear got a
pitchfork from the barn. She approaches
the raccoon, which was larger than tn
first one, and more savage. The woman
was scratched and bitten repeatedly before
she succeeded in killing the animal.

A VERY FAMOUS CAT.
Remar kable Gymnastic Feat CIeverly
Done by a Cat.

There was famous cat at Christchurch.
This was the common room cat. This
room was, of course, sacred to don,, but
when man took his bachelor 8, his tutor
generally asked him to wine in the COM
mon room. There if be was lucky, he
might hear Osborne Gordon come out
with some of his wit and wisdom. He
might also view process which attested
both the agility of the cat and the agility
of the human subject. Above the fire
place was the mantelpeice, and above the
mantelpeice bust of the venerable
DR.. Busby. and above the bust a
bracket on the wall. The don
would stand before the fireplace and with
dexterous jerk would toss up biscuit,
which would alight On the bracket. Pussy
would bound to the mantelpeice, then to
the bald head of tie venerable Busby,
and finally to the bracket. 1t was cleverly
done. both by the cat and don, but the
chief credit of the gymnastic feat was sup
posed to remain with the cat. There was
one man of long standing who was very
fond of mice, which used to reside in his
pockets and run freely about his clothes.
ANY person in the pursuit of natural
history would be pardoned in the college
which owned Frank BGckIand as student
whose remarkable performances that
way will long be tradition at Oxford

Peculiar Impressions of Children.

Parents can scarcely imagine how very
mysterious much of their conversation ap-
pears to their young children, and how
strangely it is interpreted. Many times
when one would scarcely think they were

they arr trying to solve problems far be-
yond their ability to solve. AS an instance
Of this, Mrs. Stowe relates the following
incident concerning Henry Ward Beecher:
When he was two years old his mother
died. He was told at one time that she
had been laid IN the ground, and at an
other that she had gone to heaven. There

FAMILY READING.
Content.

Be not content. Contentment means naction;
The growing soul aches on It's upward quest.
Safety is twin TO satisfaction;
All great ACHIEVEMENTS spring from life's I'M
res.
The tiny roots, deep in the dark mold hiding,
Would never bless the earth with leaf anC
flower
Were not an Unborn restlessness abiding
In seed and germ, to stir them with lis power.
Were man contented with his lot forever,
He had not sought strange seas with sails I'M
furled,
And the vast wonder of our shores had never
Dawned on the gaze or an admiring world
Prize what is yours, but be not quite con
tented:
There Is a healthful restlessness of soul
By which mighty purpose Il augmented
In urging men to reach a higher goal.
So when the restless impulse rises, driving
Your calm content before il, do not grieve;
1t is the upward reaching and the striving
Of the God in you to achieve achieve!

there is more than the value of the calf at
stake, for COW having once aborted there
is constant liability that she will do so
again, as many owners can testify. The
difference between the value of COW as a

worth as beef, certainly warrants the ex-
