Vanity Ticlxled.

During the early excuses of the French
revolution a rabble of men and women
were rioting in the streets of Paris. La
fayette appeared and ordered young ar
tillery officer to open fire upon them with
two cannon The officer begged the gen
eral to let him try first to persuade then,
to withdraw.
lit is useless to appeal to their reason, >
said the general
Certainly" answered the officer, land
it is not to their reason, but to their van
ity, would appeal"
The officer rode up to the front of the
mob, DOTTED his cooked hat, pointed to the
guns and said:
Gentlemen will have the kindness tC
retire, for am ordered to shoot down the
rabble."
The street was cleared at once, for none
could brook the idea of being classed with

A PRAYER SONG.

Twas only song, just simple lay.
And sung in the moonlight pale;
But the tender words and the softened air,
And the childish voice of the singer fair,
Lent heavenly charm to the tale.
Twas little cot by the mountain side.
Half hid by the pine trees shade,
And the gentle maid with her tuneful prayer,
That angels bore through the listening air.
Had none but her God to aid.
Twas many long, long year ago,
And the voice is hushed for aye,
But the hallowed light of her angel face,
And the childish trust in her Makers grace
Can never be banished away.

a Newspaper once Bows ReYence.


Five or six years ago there was an office
boy named Willie Smith, and Willie was
most sensitive youth. Anything that was
said to him by way of reproof ranked in
his bosom and he spent most of his time in
devising schemes by which he could get
even. One day he strayed down into the
counting room and the business manager
called him down rather severely for some
thing that he had done. Part of his duties
were to run the elevator that went up to
the immense job rooms of the establish
ment, and he retired to this forthwith and
began meditating on plan for revenge,
He went out somewhere and got about zoe
big bills printed running to this effect,
"Get your printing at -r' and named a
hated rival of the office where he worked
That night he came down, got paste
pot and plastered those bills all over the
walls, inside the elevator, on the windows
and everywhere else that he could reach
He even pasted one on the business man
ayers desk. When the men came down
next morning they were thunderstruck and
it took them two days to get them all
scraped off. TIE boy never made his ap
pearance again.-Buffalo Express.

A Very Fast Horse.

A group of old cavalrymen were gath
cred in the smoking room at their post
headquarters one stormy day, engaged in
narrating marvellous tales of the speed
and endurance of the horses they had
owned or handled during the famous strug-
gle, when Gle, whose fame as a good
story teller is not strengthened by rep
utation for veracity, spoke up, saying:
"You remember that big chestnut rode
when attached to Sheridan's headquarters
in 1852" A smile passed around the circle,
and the major, with a wink, replied, mo-

"What was he9 Why, he was the fastest

ONE VERMONT DAIRYMAN.

According to Hoard's Dairyman, a
Mr. c. F. Smith, living somewhere
in Vermont, is making pretty good
record as a dairyman and farmer.
Twelve years ago he purchased a
farm of 145 acres, with stock and
tools, for all of which he ran in debt
He now keeps so head of cattle.
Last year MIXED 81 COWS and heifers,
purchased feed to the amount of
$500, and sold dairy products for
@21OO Deduct the $500 and the
receipts would then be equal to an
average of $3.50 per COW, or gross
receipts SOS per COW.
1 must be pretty good farm and
well carried on to keep that amount
of stock with no more feed than was
purchased. With such productive
farm and dairy, it would seem that
this man might steer clear of mort
cages aud make a success of his bust
ness. In that time, twelve years,
there had been an addition of five
girls and one boy to the family.
Well done for Vermont. Talk of GO

RENoVATING MEADOWS.

The notion that nothing can be
done to prevent meadows from
gradually failing is great mistake.
IF manure can be spared for this
purpose it will pay to top-dress the
meadow. But the manure must be
fine enough to sink among the leaves
and cover the surface about the
roots A cheaper way to help old
meadows is to harrow them with a
common light drag. 1t loosens the
surface soil and gets up the fermenta-
ton which develops nitrogen. This
is especially the case where the
dragging is done in moist, warm
weather. Some roots of grass are
cut in dragging, but they will be
speedily replaced, and the effect will
often be in hidebound meadows to
double the cut of grass that they
would otherwise yield. Every one
knows the benefit that comes to
grass land by being overlooked in
spring. The water leaves on the
grass very little fine silt or soil from
the upland 1t may not be very rich,
often is not, but its effect is to keep
good grass for many years on such
lands. To a less extent dragging
the meadow has the same effect. 1t
loosens the surface soil, mulching the
roots, and thus enabling them to get
much more plant food than they
could without this operation.

THE PROTECTION AFFORDED BY
FERTILIZERS.

Experience shows that plants
stimulated into vigorous growth by
special fertilizers are often peculiarly
exempt from the attacks of insects
and Of fungi. Evidently there is that
in the juices of such plants which
does not please their taste. | plant
ed some potatoes on poor soil, where
they made but feeble growth. Near
this plat was one planted with
similar potatoes, fully fertilized and
stimulated by heterogeneous manures.
The weak plants on the poor soil
were attacked by the beetle and de-
voured before the strong plants were
touched. This is ordinarily explain
ed by saying that the fertilized plant
grows faster than the bug can eat it;
but, in fact, the beetles did not visit
these plants. When they had con-
sumed the plat of weaker plants,
they sought other fields of similarly
starved potatoes and ate these in
preference.
These two potato plats also show
ed a remarka BILE contrast In resistance
to the potato blight, which when it
became epidemic attacked the weak
er ones first and totally killed them.
The stronger plants were blighted
later, but the leaves were only harm
ed. The stalks were unaffected, and,
after the foliage persisted under the
fungus they put forth new growth,
which endured until frost, maturing
a crop of tubers. Evidently fertiliza-
ton promotes the health of the
potato plant, and enables it to
resist some diseases There is reason
to hope that, when we shall have
learned how to feed the plant with
all of the requisites to health, we
may secure more complete exemption
from contagious disease.-[Garden

CA RE FOR cows.

Potatoes, turn1ps, carrots, par
ships, ETC., as also cabbage, may be
fed judiciously, and in moderate
quantities, without injury to milk
or butter, if great care be exercised
as to time of feeding. Generally just
after milking is the best time. A
cannot produce good milk the cows
food must be of good quality, pure
and clean. She needs abundance of
pure water; beware OF horse-drains,
duck-ponds, hog-wallows, ETC., from
which COWS will drink. She should
have a comfortable bed; should be
tied so as to be able to move the
head freely, that she may lick her
body; stanchions should not be used
when they fix the head immovably;
she needs daily exercise to maintain
good health; when weather is cold
and stormy it is not necessary to
turn her out, but each warm,
pleasant day she should spend sew
cral hours IN open air. Though
there may not be SO much milk as
from COWS kept constantly in stable,
vet from COWS leading natural lives
the milk has greater vitality and
hence greater food value. In go
ing to and from pasture, she should
be driven quietly; cows made to run,
and worried by dogs, have the milk
affected. At cdlving time she needs
proper attention. In summer it may

their condition and the thriftiness of
the ewes and lambs. Luckily at the
time when the lambs are dropping or
while they are small. and need extra
watchfulness, there is not much other
work requiring his attention.
When sheep owners grow sheep
and lambs for the meat, and consider
the wool, as they do the hide of the
cattle, as a by-product that is all
profit, then there will be money in
the sheep business. Look out for a
good carcass, and the good wool
will grow on it fast enough.
