said Gertrude, gently, as she signaled
the conductor to stop the car; and turn

smile again and said: "Good-by, grand

claimed the old lady. "She makes some
home happy, know"
There was silence in the corner. The
three tongues that had been running so
fast short time before, were STILL and
the other passengers did not seem to be
nearly so amusing as they had been.
At last Maud Haven spoke, and this
time in a quiet tone that was
hardly recognizable as the same.
voice that had been speaking so loud
ly before. "Well, girls" she said,
looking from one to the other, shes
thorough lady, anyhow" 81 think she
is perfectly lovely" said May Travis,
enthusiastically. 'rll never call her
proud again. I tell you what it is,
girls don't believe one Of us would
have dared to do what she did, for fear
of being laughed at; and yet just see
how everyone admired her for it! We
did, too, we know we did, and May
nodded her head emphatically. "She
just did it to show off, said Clara Den
ton, spitefully, who could not forget
the look in the flashing eyes as they
rested for momont on her. There
was silence again for moment; then
Maud spoke in the same manner as be-
fore, and this time there was just
a slight culver in her voice.
Girls" she said 'Tll tell you

much because Gertrude Eastman is a
born lady that she did that, as because
she is trying to be Chistian. Don't
you know she joined the church a little
while ago?"-"Wen," said May soberly
and thoughtfully "If it's that that
makes her so lovely, | wish | was
one, too."-"So do l." answered Maud,
softly; and Clara said nothing as they
rose and left the car.
Gertrude Eastman went on her way,
little dreaming of the seed she had
sown by the wayside that afternoon,
and how quickly it was to bear fruit;
happy only in the thought that she had
been permitted to do little act Of
kindness to the lonely old lady. But
months afterward. when she greeted
Maud Haven and May Travis as they
became members of the same church
with herself, they told her how this
little act of hers had opened their eyes
to see the beauty of a Christian life,
and made them desire to live one too

You all know of the natural bridge
in Virginia: and perhaps have heard
how the first and greatest president of
the United States, in the athletic vigOr
of his youth, climbed up and carved his
name high on its cliff. \ very beauti-
full and picturesque spot it is, too; but
many of them would no. begin to make
one of the natural bridge of which am
going to tell you-one in the western
edge of the Tonic Basin, Arizona, in
the same general region as Montezuma S
well and castle; but it is even less
known.
The natural bridge of Pine creek,
Arizona. is to the worlds natural
bridges what the Grand canyon of the
Colorado is to the worlds chasms-the
greatest, the grandest, the most be-
wiidering. 1t is truly entitled to rank
with the great natural wonders of the
earth-as the natural bridge in Virginia
is not. No photograph can give more
than hint of its majesty; no combina-
ton of photographs more than hints

A soILNa EXPERIMENT.

The indications from this experiment
are: The average COW will eat about
seventy-fve pounds of green feed day,
kept in the stable with grain ration ad
ded.
That cows feed on oats and peas,
clover and corn, fed green in the stable
in midsummer, will give more milk than
when feeding on a good blue grass pas
ture.
That COW fed on green feed in a
stable darkened and ventilated will gain
in weight more than she will in q we'll
shaded pasture.
That the COW responds as promptly to
a well-balanced ration of grain while eat
ing green feed as she does on dry feed.
An acre cf peas cut green weighed
1875 tons.
An acre of peas and oats cut green
weighed "a tons.
An acre of corn cut green weighed
1876 tons.
The second cut of clover in drought
was 81 tons.
1t is not necessary to cut green feed

A YenirilonuI.t,s Throat.

Professor r. H. Mohr, the ventrilo-
quist, went through a strange experience
the other day. In one Of the laboratories
Of the Harvard Medical School he sub
mitted to an examination of his throat
and chest by number of physiological
experts, to determine what special for
nations gave him his peculiar powers.
The experts are uncommunicative con.
corning the results of tho examination,
and the professor, who is not physiolo.
gist at all, did not learn much about him
self.
'They put mirrors down my throat, I"
he said. "They led me by narrow pas
sages into dark chamber, and what
they did there don't know. After it
was all over they told me that my larynx
was 1atter than that of other men and
shaped something like a woman's, and
alSo that one of the stops in my throat
was drawn downward instead of upward
by the connecting muscles.
al can't make much out OF that ex-
PLANTATION, but can make living out
of my peculiar throat just the same"
Then the professor threw his voice un-
der the table and laughed hoarsely.-

CULTIVATION OF HoRsERAp1sn.

1t is estimated that between five and
six hundred acres are devoted to the
cultivation Of horseradish by what are
called the market gardeners in the i'm
mediate vicinity of New York, and per-
haps as much more near other large
cities. The author of "Gardening for
Profit" gives explicit directions for the
cultivation of this crop, or at least how
it is cultivated by our market gardeners,
for with them it is always grown as a
second crop, as follows ''In preparing
the roots for market during the winter
all the small Iootlets are broken off and
reserved for planting, leaving nothing
but the main root, which is usually from
twelve to fifteen inches long and weigh
ing about three quarters of a pound.
The rootlets or sets are cut into pieces of
from four to six inches in length, and
are from one-quarter to one-half inch in
diameter; these are tied in bundles from
fifty to sixty, the top end cut square aud
the bottom end slanting, 80 that in plant
ing there will be no danger of setting
them upside down. These sets when pre-
pared are slowed away ia boxes Of sand,

SWEET VERSUS SOUR CREAM.

Still another of our old cherished be-
liefs knocked higher than Gilderoys
kite. 1t has always been settled fact
with butter makers that when cream was
allowed to stand until it became very
sour, the acid developed in some way
destroyed part of the butter fats, so that
such cream would produce less butter
than the same cream would have pro
duced had it been churned while in a
milder state of acidity. However, we
are told by Professor w. w. Cooke, of
the Vermont Station, that his expert.
ments have proven that this acid does
not in any measure whatever destroy the
butter fats. He says: "We have fol-
lowed good many lots of milk all the
way from the COWS to the butter-tub,
both when churned sweet and when
churned sour, and the results check out
the same in either case. A great many
figures on this subject were published in
the last report of this station, and many
more on large scale have been obtained
since then, all pointing unmistakably to
a non-destruction of fat during the pro-
cess of souring." Perhaps this is another
case ofnon-churnability. 1t may be that
while the fat is there the churn can't get
it, but we will probably know more about
this by-and-by.

onn.tinna Often Asked.

9. What is Alabastine2
A. Alabastine is a durable coating for walls
and ceilings.
=. Is It the same rs kalsomines2
A. IL is entirely different from all other prem
Rrations on the market,
Q. Wherein does Il differ from these kalso-
mines on the market2
A. IL is made from cement that goes through
a process of setting on the wall, and grows
harder with age.
2. What are kalsomines made from2
A. From Writings, chalks, clays or other inert
powders for n base, and are entirely dependent
upon glue to hold them on the wall.
Y. Why do kalsomines rub and scnlep
decays In short time by exposure TO air and
moisture, and the binding qualities of the
material are then gone.
y. Does the Alabastine contain any injurious
substance2
A. Alabastine has been most carefully tested,
and Ia recommended by leading sanitarans
throughout the country, on account of its
sanitary nature.
Q. What has the same Investigation shown
regarding wall paperI
A. Sanitarians condemn In strong terms the
use of wall paper for walls of living rooms on
account of the poison used in its manufacture.
q. Can anything but plain work be done with
Alabastinei
A. Any kind Of work, from plain tinting to
the most elaborate decorating can be done.

care being taken that sufficient sand is
put up between each layer Of bundles to
prevent their heating. They may either
be kept in boxes in coolce or pitted
in the open ground" The above direc-
tions for preparing and storing the cut
tings are as given by the author of the
work named, and are those generally
practised by market gardeners. The sets
are left undisturbed until the early plant
ing of cabbages, caulifowers and similar
vegetables is finished, then the horse.
radish sets are planted between the rows
and at about the same distance as the
cabbsges. When the crop Of early cab
bages, caulifowers or whatever it may
be, is removed, the horseradish receives
thorough and frequent cultivation up to
the time the roots are ready for digging
late in autumn. But IL you do not care
to plant horseradish as second crop,
then put in your sets as early as con
venient in the spring, planting them in
rows two or three feet apart and twelve
to eighteen inches in the rows. If set
three feet by one foot, you will need IA
$40 for each acre. The richer the
ground the larger the roots, and while
stable manure is the best, you can use al
most any good commercial fertilizer as q
substitute, applying from one-half up to
one ton per acre. The yield of roots,
for what may be considered a good crop
of horseradish should be about five tons
per acre.--New York Sun.

THE ADVANTAGES OF B1TrrNe.

Where biting is done properly it has
many advantages, while the improper
use of the biting machine often leads to
serious consequences. Many horsemen
believe that if colt has no style born in
him he never will acquire it.s However
true this may be, it is possible, with the
biting machine, to greatly improve the
style that colt naturally possesses. Be-
sides, 1t teaches him restraint that he
would not learn otherwise. The ma
chine consists of a bride checkrein,
girth, crupper and two side straps. Use
a common straight bit, and, preferably,
a side check, fastened high up on the
bride. The back pad of an old harness
IS good if the terrets and check. ring are
taken out, so the colt can roll over if he
throws himself. Put the back piece or
girth on, and buckle it tight; fasten the
check to it, and bring the colts head up
where he carries 1t naturally. The side
straps are fastened about half way down
on each side of the girth, and the loose
ends buckled into the bit rings. These
are to prevent the colt from turning his
head to either side, aud should be light
enough for this, but not to pull his nose
in much. Put this on him every day for
an hour, and turn him in a paddock, or
loose box. Gradually take up the check
rein, until his head is brought where it
is wanted. 1t may take two or three
months. II the training is pushed too
fast, or the check is taken up too much
at one time, or the machine is left on too
long, it may do irreparable harm. When
done thoroughly this strengthens the
muscles of the neck so the colt will al
ways carry his head up. 1t will also
help to improve his knee action. .-Ameri-
