AN OLD "sTAGER."

No matter what is on the boards
You'll always find him there,
And ways in the same old seat
Up by the footlights glare
He sports All ancient allOW-tail
Oftaded, rusty black,
And frayed silk tie that fastens
With a buckle in the back.
At musical productions
He will always keep his saat,
But as 1ule when ut play
VIII beat quick retreat
Until the act is over,
When again he'll reappear
And sit torlorn, while other men
Go out and have their beer.
In most pathetic, trying scenes,
When Others round him weep,
1.-The is setting there in front
The chances are he'll sleep
And nod, until the baton
Of the leader gives rap ..
And the violins' shrill squeaking
Rudely wakes him from his nap.
The funny man upon the stage,
Though witty he may be, as.ss
Would count himself quite happy, il
Perchance, he once could see b..
A smile light up the visage
Ofthis parsonage so glum
Who nightly in the orchestra
Manipulates the drum. 80.

She Made Courageous Journey to
Head Off an Evictlng Party.
Miss Anna Parnell, sister Of tho
fallen leader, has in late years, lived
IN London, and was Of much assist
ance to her brother. She was the
heroine Of this incident:
News had reached the Ladies' Land
League in Dublin that the necessary
force would be on the way the next
day to evict all the tenants in the
village on great estate. Those were
days when eviction was literally
death if relief were not instant.
Anna Parnell determined to post
pone the evictions by preaching the vii.
lage in time to organize the people and
prevent the serving of the notices
which must precede the actual turning
out. Without food or rest, without
companion, she covered the distance
mile by mile, sometimes afoot, some
times mounted on a horse, sometimes
riding beside the driver of whatever
vehicle happened to come along the
roads.
| A brook babbled through a field she
had to cross. As she approached it q
squad OF mounted men, bearing the
notices and followed at distance by
| a company of troops, came into view.
Heavy rains had swollen the stream
| into river, and it's torrent roared
with the force supplied by many rivu-
! let's from the distant hills.
The day would be lost should the
police and soldiery reach the village
ahead of her. A countryman to whom
she was personally unknown, over.
took her going in the same direction.
They surveyed each other with friendly
suspicion.
my man." she said, eff [ should
tell you that 1 am Anna Parnell, and
that / want to get to the village ahead
OF the police, do you think you could
carry me across?"
A cry of astonishment and delight
was the reply, and before she could
catch her breath she was up in his
arms. he stream was crossed and
the painting and exhausted pair sat
down together on the further shore to
rest.
The police followed leisurely, but
when they reached the village they
found themselves foiled.- kansas City

Hiram smiled encouragingly as he
led her up the stone steps. . Z
'sYou'll find Mrs. Marion very easy
to get along with, indeed. All. Titus,
just show us into the reception-room,
will you, and tell your mistress we're
here"-for a tall, iveried footman
had opened the door and bowed to
Mr.. Wingate respectfully.
1t was a perfect little biiou Of
room into which Lily was ushered-
an octagonal room, with windows
draped in blue satin and lace, with a
blue-and- white velvet carpet on the
floor and furniture so odd and magni-
ticent that Lily wondered il it was for
actual use.
ooh, uncle! it's just like fairyland,
isn't it?"
Her delighted, awe-struck whisper
amused him and he was laughing to
his hearts content when a stout, com
Portable, elderly lady, withlovely gray
puffs of hair and wearing a beautiful
steely pearl silk dress, came. into the
room.
Hiram, my dear, I am so glad you're
back again And this is one OF poor
Mary's girls, is it,"
Marion, my dear, I am glad to be
home. Yes, this is Lily Dalzell, our
niece. Lily, kiss your auntie, my
| dear"
And, bewildered, Lily obeyed, while
Hiram laughed and explained it all.
''You see, was determined I'd
bring one OF you home, and Marion
and arranged the little test before l
went. We earned our money by hard
work and economy, and we didn't
want anybody to enjoy it who was
too fine to follow our example. So,
you see, Lilly, my dear, the situation
is a pretty fair one, after all, eh!
Five pounds q month to spend if you
choose, and all the fine things you
want, and your carriage to ride in.
Eth, Lily? You'll consent to be our

And Miriam Dalzell was nearly in

Going Into Winter Quarters,

=, wing INV winter ouafIoTSs'
"a It will soon be time to stable the
cows and put them on their winter ra-
tien. A little care should be used not to
make the change from grassto hay too
abrupt; before the grass is frozen the
COWS, should be fed some hay and
meal, and if a part of the meal should
be linseed meal it will be all the bet
ter for the health Of the COWS. Ii the
COWS are changed gradually from
green to dry feed there will be little
or no falling off in their yield. They
can be allowed to 90 into pasture so
long as they seem to enjoy them
selves there, care being taken not to
let them out of the yard until the
frost has melted off the grass. While
what they get is not valuable as feed
yet the accustomed exercise and the
freedom from the restraint of the
barnyard is good for them, until they
lose all desire to wander over the
fields we prefer to let them have the
run OF the pasture during the warm
part OF the day. When the ground
freezes up they will be contented to
stay in the barnyard, and by that
time they will be on full winter feed and
accustomed to their regular winter
routlne.-National Stockman.

Busted" Not Brokan.

Doubtless our unlettered friends
have fine distinctions in the use of
words, for which we do not give them
sufficient credit. Anew pupil in a col
ored school took shattered lamp
chimney to show her teacher. ''
"Ah!'' said he, your chimney is
broken, is it,"
"No, sir" she answered, otis bust
ed"
In her distinction of terms la- all
the difference between a confession OF
guilt and an assertion OF innocence.
The word "broken" she underst to
mean that the mishap had occurred
by her own fault; and in correcting to
"busted' she meant to imply that
some unknown I'M agency, q current Of
coll! cold , air, perhaps, had caused the
break. s
Hereis q distinction as clear and
real as we make in more scholarly
terms.

delicate flavor, very different from an
ordinary fowl. The principle on which
they fatten poultry is to keep them in
close confinement and literally stuff
them with all they can hold.
An imitation Of the French method
may be followed with good results.
Select tor the process only well-grown,
perfectly healthy birds, and place
them in small coops just large enough
to hold one fowl. Set the coop in a
darkened, quiet shed or barn, keep
them well ventilated and scrupulously
clean, and supply plenty ofpure water
for the fowl to drink. For food give a
soft paste of bolted barley and corn
meal, mixed with sweet skim-milk.
Give the bird all it can swallow
two or three times a day, to-.
gether with little meat and green
food and a good supply of grit.
it must not be removed from it's con-
fined quarters for any purpose, es-
pecially for exercise, as the object is
to secure perfect quiet and the most
rapid possible increase in weight.
If the bird is in good condition at
the beginning, it will fatten with great
rapidity for about ten days. After
that time the confinement begins to
tell on them, and they not only make
no progress in fattening, but are liable
to become sick Or diseased. Ten days
is just about long enough to continue
the process; if continued longer, the
fowls are very likely to begin to re-
trograde. It is not desirable that
they should lose a day nor an hour
In putting on flesh. Just before the
turning point is reached remove the
bird from confinement and execute at
at once. Such poultry will command
a fancy price in the market.

To Italianize an Aplary.

1would buy good breeding queen
(only one), and introduce her to a
colony, which is strong in bees and
brood by the beginning of June, at
which time I should give them some
nice drone combs; then as soon as
young drones begin to crawl out of
their cells, I would give this colony
two or three bright combs, putting
them in the center of the brood-nest
says the American Bee Journal. In
two or three days, when the combs
are well filled with eggs, remove the
queen, and all other combs with un-
sealed larva, from the colony. stimu-
late this colony by feeding. In six or
eight days from the Gaping of the
cells, cut out queen cell for each
colony made queenless a few days
previous, and insert the cell in a
middle comb of the brood-nest.
Always take enough comb with the
cell, so as not to compress the cell IN
the least. Be sure to destroy all
other cells started by these black bees.
| would keep this old colony rearing
these cells queenless, so as to preserve
the drones, as the drouth will usually
have ended these black drones before
this time. We can also keep our bees
pretty free from the black drones by
shaving down the drone brood once
every Is days. ~

The Farmers Ice House.

A plentiful supply of ice on the farm
is both a luxury and necessity, and
there is no good reason why, in all
localities where ice forms in winter, q
sufficient quantity should not be
stored up for summer use.
A good ice house need not be an ex.
pensive affair. 1t may be of the sim
plest and cheanest construction, and
yet as effective for the purpose as il
costing hundreds of dollars. The
three essentials are thorough drainage,
ventilation and walls and roofs pack
ed with suitable nonconducting
material to exclude heated air.
If placed on a hill where drainage
can be easily managed the house may
be partly or wholly underground
But on a leval surface the Building
may be entirely above ground. Two
methods of construction for these
abOve-grOund houses are
ed. One is to have a double wall OF
pine or hemlock boards, say. ten inch
es apart, with a packing Of sawdust
or finely cut rye straw between.
Another, suggested by the Country
Gentleman, is to make a single board
wall, leaving a space ten or twelve
inches between it and the ice, which is
to be filled with the packing of saw
dust or straw as the ice is put in.
This is said to preserve the ice quite
as we'll as the other method, with the
added avantage that the packing will
not settle, as the permanent packing
is liable to do, leaving crevices through
which the air can have access to the
ice
The ice should be pressed in a solid
mass, not separated by a packing OF
straw, rs is sometimes done. The
foundation for theice may be made OF
cobble stone, we'll drained, half foot
thick, on which is laid a two-inch
plank flooring, with quarter inch
cracks to allow Of free drainage. Up.
on the floor should be placed ten inch.
es Of sawdust.
Ventilation, without which the ice
will not keep, may be provided for by
means of a chimney in the roof, with
shutters, or by openings at both ends
just below the peak OF the roof. The
latter is, of course the cheaper plan

according to the taste or pocket Of
the owner. But no farmer should he
deferred from having sufficient sup
ply lice, because he does not feel able
to build an ornate and expensive
structure RI honse IL in Now ia the

The Farmers Ice House Farm
Management--Quick Fatten-
Ing Of FoWls--To ltalianize
and Apiary--Going Into
Winter Quarters.
Farm Management.

The majority Of farmers recognize
thefact that under the present condi-
lions it requires good management to
make the yield aproft. In fact, every
advantage must be taken to lessen
the cost OF production, not only with
the crops but with the stock; and any
stock kept that fails with proper man
agement to return a fair profit, lessons
the general average. To a certain ex-
tent, at least, COWS are necessity on
every farm, the number being largely
dependent upon the plan OF farming
followed. While during the summer
they can thrive very we'll upon pastur-
age, and during the winter, if we'll shelf
cred can be kept in very good con-
dition largely upon roughness, yet
both the pasturage and the winter
feeding costs something, and they
must bring a return either in milk or
calves or both to pay a fair profit
on the cost of keeping and the capital
invested. With nearly all kinds of
stock, if good care is taken, the
manure that can be secured
should be sufficient to pay for their
keeping, SO that the value of their feed
and the interest on the money invest
ed, with the risk, should be the cost of
keeping. How many cows are kept
on the farm year after year that do
not pay this cost? The value of the
feed and the interest is: the same
whether a profit is returned or not.
To have a part of the COWS returning
no profit is to lessen the per cent on
the whole number, and the sooner the
Improbable ones are culled out the
better for the farmer. If the calves
are of sufficient value to pay a reas-
enable profit for keeping the COWS and
the COW brings q good calf every
year, that will answer; but in the
majority of cases the calf is not SUI
ficient value to do this, and something
must be made from the milk in addi-
ton.
Where every item must be taken
advantage of in order to secure the
best profit, it will pay to test every
COW, determining the value of the calf
when weaned and also the quantity and
quality of milk she will give, and after
a fair test all that do not show a
fair per cent of profit should be
marketed. It is important to get rid
of all Improbable COWS, sheep, horses
or hogs, as every day an animal Is
kept that cannot be made to pay a
fair profit is that much taken from
the farm income. It may seem a
| small item to ascertain whether one
COW is paying or not, but on the farm
1T is the attention paid to what may
be considered the details that largely
determine the aggregate profits. And
even a small profits preferable to a
| positive loss.-N. J. S., in Prairie
! Farmer.
