Cupboard Love.

An Englishman who once travelled

the horses and cows which he saw feed

kindly disposition on the part of the
people, he thought; but he adds: In

me with their loving ticks; but | do
not transcribe it, as upon further re-
Election il is evident that the licking
was mere cupboard love. All cattle in
inland. and especially in mountainous
districts, have strong craving for
salt. and these cows were merely lick

had fallen on my clothes during the
recent voyage. This discovery was

Probably a majority of farmers feed

ensilage and do not feed more than one
cubic foot per animal per day, and il
we remove two inches = r day from the
exposed surface as advised in the Wis
consin bulletin, we are using one-sixth

could have exposed six square feet pei

In cold weather the surface exposed

They Are at a Disadvantage In Public
When the world was younger diffident
people had much better chance of
success in it than they have now. Their
modesty found favor with the wise and
good, and they were helped along.
Pliny, the greatest lawyer of his age,
recommended quite young men of his
own profession to the public, and some
times refused to undertake a cause I'M
less some modest junior counsel was
associated with him as a pleader Law
yers don't do that sort of thing now.
1t does not answer to implore the
favorable opinion of court and juries;
the advocate who expects to obtain
their assent to his views must demand
il.
We have popular speakers who sim
ply make noise in the world" Their
heads are empty, but their lungs are
strong and their tongues glib. An an
cient writer on oratory says that a
flushed face and an expression dashed
with modesty should secure the atten-
ton of an audience. Alas these evil
dences of diffidence are death to the
prospects of speaker in this age. The
man who overcrows his more bashful
betters is pretty sure to take the lead.
In law, in business, in politics-and
sometimes even in church-this rule
holds good.-N. Y. Ledger.

TOPSY'S DEVOTION.
Feline Example That Might BE Creditsbly
Emulated by the Higher Animals.

Feline Example That Might BE Creditably
EmuIated by the Higher Animals
One of the blacklist cats ever saw
was Topsy, and she was cute as she
was black When mice and rats were
scarce around the house and in the barn
in which she lived, she had novel way
of letting people know that she was
hungry.
First she would find small piece of
wood and carry it in her mouth to her
young mistress. After dropping it at
her feet she usually made pretense of
eating it and then NEW so piteously
that food was soon Forthcoming.
One day Topsy became the mother of
five black kittens. They were born in
a big, empty feed box in the barn.
Under her tender care they grew strong
and thrived. Topsy's life was wrapped
up in them. When they became large
enough to partake of solid food she
brought succulent, wee mice for them
to eat. and each kitten got one daily.
For ten days she pursued this prac-
tice. until people wondered where Top
sy found 50 many tidbits for her dar-
lings. Her fidelity to those little,
black, animated bundles OF fur was
touching, and it was with pang of re-
greet that / learned one day that she
had been rob bed of her young.
Singly and in pairs they were given
away TO admiring neighbors until none
were left to receive the ministrations
of the young mother. Still, with pa
thetic regularity she continued to catch
mice and bring them to the big box.
There she dropped them in. one at a
time, until each of the absent kittens
had been provided for. Topsy never
seemed to doubt that they would re-
turn. Finally somebody nailed the box
cover down and Topsy could not get
inside, but for some days she visited
the spot and mewed most dismally.
Then she seemed to become resigned to
her loss and once more became like her
former self. N. Y. Herald

simulated by alternate diamonds and
sapphires embedded in the gold.
Instead of cut-glass and silver
mounted ice-pails for the table, we have
egg-shaped cut-glass bowls held in tri-
pods of repousse silver and without

An instance of the ingenious use of
accidental forms is seen in a slender
shell. beautifully irridescent, which
looks like the body of fish. The shape is
completed by a diamond head and tail.
A slender ivory thermometer was
seen framed in a wreath of silver
chrvsanthemums and mounted on a
slender standard. Other thermometers
similarly mounted are set in frames of

will often live and breed during the
lifetime of a generation. Geese have
been known to hatch and raise their
young when twenty-five years old The

the latter can be marketed with more
