tree near at hand, while the heroic boy,
lifting his brother in his arms, carried him
into the road and fell fainting upon him.
Meanwhile the other brother had fed
screaming up the road and fortunately
met two men who had been chopping near
by. As soon as he had told the cause of
his fright they rushed on, to find the little
hero senseless, still tightly grasping the
neck of the broken bottle

WEIGHT of Cow and Yield of Milk

Professor E. 4. Barnard, of Canada,
is quoted as follows; Superior cows
will give ten times their own weight in
milk per annum. though exceptional an
imals have been known to yield thirteen
times their own weight. On the other
hand, inferior animals may give as little
as only tw."e their own weight. Apart
from this the author finds that the
lighter COW yields the larger proportion
of milk, while heavy cows yield com
paratively little. Tl-us a little animal
weighing 40 pounds yields 1854 pounds
of milk per annum, or eight times its
own weight. On the other hand, an an
imal weighing 1850 pounds yields 9,C2C
pounds, or only about five times its own
weight.

Pronunciation of the Word Wound,

How do you pronounce the word
"wound?" Most people nowadays say
"woond," but the old dictionaries all say
"wownd," and all the poets, so far as the
Listener has ever heard, make the word
rhyme with sound" The pronunciation
"woond' is undoubtedly an affectation;
but it has swamped the old sound. The
other day a friend of the Listener heard in
church hymn which had this word at the
end of a line and rhymed with bound"
but the choir, in singing it, pronounced it
"woond" in defiance of the rhyme. This
inspired the Listeners friend to take his
hymn book and write upon a fyIeaf this
stanza OF excellent doggerel, to illustrate
the capabilities of this word in the way Of
rhymes:
Behold, stricken soul has swooned;
Where shall relief be found?
Where balm to soOthe its bleeding wound,
Its horrid, gaping wound?
Modern poets, by the way, are practically
debarred from using the word ''woond" at
the end of their lines by the scarcity of
good rhymes for it. Perhaps "harpooned"
and "baIlooned" and "swooned" have
certain relationship to the idea of wound,
but neither of them is very practicable
word in poetry.-Boston Transcript.

On the Country Road,

1t is a mistake to cut down the flow Of
milk from the COWS in order to save the
cost of a ton of bran.

Keep the hogs feeding floor claan.

Eggs are money.
Give the colts good start to keep
them growing through the winter.
A great advantage Of commercial fer
tilizers is that they contain no weed

A new use OF hops is reported from
England-namely, for the curing of ba-
con. 1t is found that sprinkling Of
hops in the brine when bacon and hams
are put in pickle adds greatly to the
flavor of both, and enables them to be
kept an indefinite period.
Arrested, Then Married.
Monday William Jones and Chester
Smith, two young Canastota men, came
to Z tica to enjoy days pleasure. They
devoted the day to seeing the sights and
expended their money in various ways.
They thereupon decided to pawn two
watches which Were in their possession,
and by attempting to do this they fell
into the clutches of the law upon sus-
picion. At the police station they said
their sweethearts, Minnie Perry and
Hattie Daley, of Canastota, had given
them the watches, and Chief of Police
, Dagweu used the telephone to find out
whether the story was true. The young
women Immediately swore out warrants
for the arrest Of the young men, claim
ing they had simply loaned them the
watches, and United States Marshal J.
| E. Stimson came to Utica Tuesday and
took the twain back to their native town.
They were arraigned before Justice
Northrop, and the young women We're
not able to establish their charge of lar
ceny. 1t appeared, however, that while
they had given their hearts freely and
wholly to the young men, they had only
loaned them the watches, but the crime
of larceny was not proven, and the young
| men We're discharged from custody.
At this point of the proceedings con-
sultation took place. Remorse was dis

"One Of the reasons" says a contem-
porary, ''why hogs are the most profit
able animals to feed and fatten is tt ,
fact that there is less waste in them than
in any other animal used for meat pur-
poses. A well fatted 0pound Berkshire

Brave Boy.

Some years ago, says the author of big
Game of North America" three children
who lived near Olympia, Wash, were re-
turning from school, when Walter, the
eldest, a boy of twelve, noticed what he
thought to he large yellow dog trotting
in tins, 3oad behind them. They paid no at
tention to it, as large mongrel dogs of this
color abound everywhere in the vicinity of
Indian camps, but went playing leisurely
along.
Suddenly the youngest, a chubby chap of
six, who was behind his brothers, came
running to the front, and a moment later
the animal seen now to be cougar sprang
over the heads of the two astonished boys,
seized the little fellow in his mouth, and
with a spring vanished in the bushes
The elder brother did not stop to DELHI
crate. He had for a weapon only an emp y
bottle, in which he had carried milk for
his dinner, and with this he rushed inCo
the bushes. His little brother was Lying
PROSTATE, grasping a small tree with both
hands, and holding on with the strength
of despair, while the cougar, his far IS
luckily imbedded only in the child's cloth
ing, was trying to break this deathlike
grip.
With scream Walter threw himself on
the animal, beat it over the head with the
bottle until the glass was shattered in
fragments, and then. with the ragged edges
of the bottles neck, he endeavored to cut
out the cougars eyes.
AT last the cougar. with veil of rage

the prince had invited the Able de Voise

A Cows Motherly Love Betray's Her Calf.

In pasture on a farm IN East Hart
ford, recently, one Of the COWS had calf
which no one Of the farm hands was
able to find the day after its birth. A
search proved a failure until some one
suggested novel scheme. 1t was to
bring dog into the lot, when, in all
probability, the COW would return to her
calf to defend it. The dog was brought,
and sure enough the COW started for a
clump Of bushes, and among them the
calf was found, where. the leaves had
concealed it.-Hartford Courant.
flow Paris Is Governed.
Let me commend the simplicity OF the
organization of French municipal govern
nnent. The people elect council, varying
in numbers according to population upon
a scale ixNd by general law In all but
the large places the council is elected upon
a general ticket The important cities are
usually divided into sections, or large
wards, to each of which several councillor:
are assigned, and the ward chooses it,
councillors upon a general ticket. The
! councillors hold office for four Years, anC
all retire together-being of course eligible
for reelection. The English and Ameri
can system of partial renewal annually OF
biennially is contraryto French habits anC
ideas.
The council names the mayor, and alst
his executive assistants, from it's OWL
membership. The mayor is the presiding
officer of the council as well as the execu
tive head of the municipality. His ad
juncts or executive assistants are desig
mated by their fellow councillors In large
places these number ten or twelve, anC
they have no executive duties except such
as are specifically assigned to them by the
mayor. The council holds four ordinary
sessions every year, each of which may las
for fifteen days, while the one in which the
annual budget is discussed NAV last fol
six weeks. But the mayor may call extra
sessions at any time, and he is obliged tt
convene the body upon request of ma
jority of the councillors.
The council appoints consultative com
mittces, which meet ad libitum between
sessions with the mayor as nominal chair
man of each, while one of his adjuncts is
more usually the actual chairman. The
mayor has the appointing power and
names the minor officials of the commune
subject in some cases, however, to the ap
prevail of the project of the department.
With the advice of the council, and under
! the surveillance of the departmental
authorities, the mayor executes the bust
ness of the commune. The council has
large authority in the levying of taxes
! authorization of public works, provision
for education, etc., but in most of these
things its decisions must be approved by
| the higher authorities.-D Albert Shaw

1t is understood that the following
Cabinet has been formed with the
consent of Her Majesty the Queen ::
Hon. H. A. Widemann, Premier and
Minister of Finance c. n. Spencer,
Minister Of Interior; Hon. Sam'l
Parker, Minister of Foreign Affairs :;
w. Austin Whiting, Attorney-Gen
eraI.
The present Cabinet are reported
as having agreed to resign as soon as
a representative Cabinet was agreed
upon, acceptable to the nation at
large. Ii now looks as if a solution
of the differences between the Queen
and Cabinet was almost reached. 1t
j. to be hoped SO but it is still ru-
mored upon the street that the pre-
sent Cabinet will persist In refusal
to resign.
At the present writing there is
nothing officially known as to any
refusal of the Cabinet to resign, but
it is currently reported that when the
proposed new Cabinet, given above,
was submitted at noon today, such
was the stand taken by the present
Ministry.
If this be true, is it not about time
that the Supreme Court rendered a
decision in this important matter,
which, as is we'll known, has been
before that body for almost wc~k!
As the case now stands it looks As
if the Supreme Court were uDneces-
sarily delaying the decision OF an
issue Of the very greatest public i'm

The bugbear that frightens SO many
out of any attempt at road improve
ment is the expense; and it is myth.
These extra taxes for this work will be
made easier than any money was ever
made before. because OF the increased
facilities for buying and selling you are
furnished with all the year around,
and property will rise so much in value,
and the population increase where
there are easy means Of getting around.
so that when the roads are built and
paid for you will find it hard TO tell
how much it haa cost you, it has been
so little. The taxes levied to pay the
interest on bonds issued for this pur-
pose are lighter than the expense to
keep the roads in repair under the old
system. This has been proved. Over
good roads one horse can draw a load
which will tax the strength of four
over the roads in the original state
So the tax on the horse is less. and the
money tax will be paid by valuation
that does not now exist and by people
who are not now residents OF the coun-
ty.-National Farmer.
