THE MIGHTY DAN.
Webster Taking Leave OF His
Sohoomates.

Webster Taking Leave OF His
SchooImates.
Daniel Webster was in 1895 mem
Der OF Phillips Exeter Academy. A
few days after MIR. Webster had enter
ed Exeter Academy he returned to his
boarding house one evening i'll very
despondent mood and told his friends
there that the city boys in the acad
envy were constantly laughing at him
because he was at the foot ofthe class
and had come from the backwoods.
The next day Mr.. Nicholas Emery
who was then an assistant in the acad
envy, urged Webster to think OF moth.
ing but his books, and added that all
would yet come out right
The advice was needed, and at the
end of the first quarter Mr.. Emery,
mastering his class in line, formally
took the arm OF young Webster and
marched him from the foot to the ex.
treme head.
At the end OF the second quarter
when the class was mustered, Mr.. En-.
cry said.
'Daniel Webster, gather up your
books and take down your cap"
The boy obeyed, and, thinking that
he was about to be expelled from
school, was sorely troubled.
The teacher soon dispelled the illu
sion, for he continued: "Now, sir, you
will please report yourself to the
teacher of the first class, And you
young gentlemen, will take an affection
ate leave OF your classmate, Tor yor
will never see him again"
They never did see him in that class
room again, but the day came wher
the eyes OF the nation beheld him.

properly BaIanced Rationa.

A knowledge OF chemistry is oil
greatest Importance to farmers, as il
often enables them to effect material
savings in the cost OF keeping and
fattening farm stock. 1t is due to
chemistry that straw. once thought
almost worthless as stock feed, is
utilized by feeding it with oil or cot
ton-seed meal rich in heterogeneous
matter. With this ration the straw
becomes equal to hay the animal de.
irving material for maintaining
warmth, while growth is made by the
more concentrated food. 1t is true
that many good farmers were led by
repeated experiments to balance their
rations; but little chemical knowl-
edge explains by the authority OF
science the reason for results that
farmers had reached by the slower
process of experiment Corn fodder
is not alone a perfect ration for any
animal. 1t is good. and with corn
added may be a perfect ration. But it
is largely carbonaceous, and is best
balanced by oil meal or wheat bran,
which furnish larger proportions OF
flesh forming food than can be fed
without mixture with something Of
different character. American Guilt

How to Tie the Cow.

The matter OF tying cows has be-
come question of more Importance
than the convenience OF the COW
owner The COW has right to her
say and her comfort is now to be
taken into account Cows are Kept
for their milk and any restraint dis
comfort or discipline acts the same
as limited food in decreasing the milk
flow. The stanchion, borrowed in
principle from the pillory principle
for punishment OF criminals was
adapted into fastening for q dairy
COW. Not an argument can be made
for the stanchion from the cows side
OF the question. It is allfor the mans
hardness and economy OF labor and
ends there. The general verdict of
those who have made the matter q
study, is that the fastening should be
so made that the COW can have q GER
tain amount OF freedom in her stall.
The halter is above all, the best tie
for COW. and does all right in a
small dairy. The neck chain follows

| imagined. Traverse was the hho Of
the hour, but he declined the loan ola
dry suit, burrying back to his room
at the hotel.
The next morning Irene awoke with
an aching head, but her heart was
light with q great happiness, and she
was out on the shore alta early hour.
Traverse, who came to inquire after
the girl he had saved, found her there,
and together they strolled away from
observation, to talk over their new
found happiness.
The week which followed was one OF
such quiet content to the lovers, that
the awaking which came so abruptly,
seemed too cruel and pittiless to be
true. They had just returned from a
row on the lake, one lovely afternoon,
when q horseman rode into camp, in
quiring for Traverse, who instantly
recognized Farley, and went forward
to meet him; that officer explained in
a low tone, his business, with as few
words as possible.
Traverse was for @ moment dumb
with amazement.
"There is some terrible mistake! /
never can submit to those" he added,
quickly, with a look of pain on his
face, as Farley produced pair OF
handouts. 81 pledge you my honor
-"
And then he remembered how little
he had left now.
Farley came to his relief.
"If you will come with me quietly, |
will not put them on; but must do
my duty, painful rs it may be. And
though this is tEihe out OF my line,
l came myself, instead OF sending q
subordinate, to spare you as much as
possible"
Traverse thanked him, and OBJ
tanned leave to bid Irene good-by.
This explanation and leave-taBing
was q very painful affair, and Irene
sat in bewilderment, long after he was
gone, trying to think what it was best
to do, for she did not for an instant
believe him guilty. Then at last she
made up her mind. She sought out
MIS-. DlblSuel, whose lace SJlll DOre
traces of tears, and told her OF her
trouble. and her love for this man.
The two ladies left camp next day,
en- route for home, where they arrived
dusty and tired, in the gray dawn OF
the next morning, surprising Mr..
BIaisdel out OF his self-control.
Irene was closeted with him long
time. Together they went over the
books, and the result was % message to
Dalton, whose face grew CHASTITY, and
who dropped the pen he was holding,
when the messenger requested him to
come Immediately to Blaisdel's pri'
waite Office.
He was charged point blank with
the fraud, and thinking himself found
out confessed his guilt, even to the
purloining OF the Office keys from
Traverse.
That gentleman was liberated, and
in the autumn there was quiet we'd
ding, to which q few particular friends
were invited, and Traverse became the
husband of the girl he had saved, and
% partner in the clearinghouse Of
Blnisdel q Rogers.

"Some time ago." says a Missouri
man, "a powerful poor family came to

three daughters, two OF them about

in an old, deserted house, and ii
wasn't long until we heard that they

How to Do IT.

There is possibly show OF excuse
in other kinds OF stock for farmers to
take up with something less than the
best because OF its high price. But
the pig is the farm stock that no one
is too poor to own. 1t increases rap
idly, and by crossing with thorough
bred boars OF any established breed
and selecting the best for breeders, it
is in the power OF any man to get
more out of his feed than he has done.
This is practically the same as selling
their grain at higher price, a thing
that if attempted in any other way
than by feeding it to improved stock
reminds us OF the man who tried to
lift himself up by pulling at his boot

boots Rural World.

Frame for GrIntistone.

A very handy frame can be made by
setting two posts firmly into the
ground, and about six inches apart
Have the posts wide enough on top to
allow the fixtures to be screwed on.
Drive two small braces for each post
and make trough as wide as your
posts are apart and nail between them,
SO the bottom OF the grindstone will
not touch the bottom by } inch. The
water being on the stone all the time
secures q fine cutting surface. 1t will
cut twice as fast as if you pour on the

French female prisoners and convicts sre
treated with more kindness on the whole
than persons Of their class In England.
Their matrons and wardresses are Augustine
nuns. whose rule, though firm, is gentler,
more merciful and more stsadfastlY equit-
able than that OF laywomen could be. The
female convicts are allowed the same pri-
vilege as the men in the matter Of earning
money and buying things at the canteen I;
those OF them who are young also enjoy a
privilege not granted 70 female convicts in
other countries-that Of having husbands
provided for them by the state-only these
husbands must be convicts.
Every six months a notice is circulated in
the female penitentiaries calling upon all
women who feel minded to go out TO New
Caledonia and be married to make an ap-
plication TO that effect through the governor.
Elderly women are always very prompt in
making such applications, but they are not
entertained The matrimonial candidates
must be young and exempt from physical
infirmities. Girls under long sentences
readily catch at this method of escaping
the intolerable tedium of prison life; and
the pretty ones are certain to be put on the
governors list. no matter now IrlgnUtul
may be the crimes for which they have
been sentenced.
The only moral qualification requisite is
to have passed at least two years in the PEN
itentiary. The selected candidates have TO
sign engagements promising to marry con-
victs and to settle in New Caledonia for the
remainder of their lives. On these condi-
tions government transports them, gives
them decent outfit and a ticket of leave
when they land at Noumea. Their mar
riages are arranged for them by the gov
ernor of the colony. who has selection OF
well behaved convicts ready for them to
choose from, and each girl may consult her
own fancy within certain limits, for the
proportion of marriageable men to women
is ABOUT three to one.
OF course, il the girl positively declares
that none OF the aspirant bridegrooms sub
mitted to her inspection has met with her
approval, the governor can only shrug his
shoulders in the usual French way. 1t has
happened more than once that pretty girls
have been wooed by warders, free settlers
Of time-expired soldiers or sailors, instead
of by convlcts. In such cases the governor
can assent to marriage only on condition
that the female convict's free lover can
place himself in the position of ticket of
leave man and undertake never to leave the
colony Love works wonders; and there Is no
instance on record of a man having refused
to comply with these conditions when once
he had fallen in love.

THE AMEER OF AFaHANIsTAN.
T. s. Pyne Establishes His Mint and
Rife Factory.
Ffom the Times Of Indi a.

From the Times of India.
1t is now about five and a half years since
Mr.. Pyne first entered the ameer's service.
At that time he was the only European in
Afghanistan. and the material he had to
work with was very raw. The people were
most conservative in their ideas, and every
thing new was regarded with suspicion.
The coinage OF the country was Of the most
crude description. The rupees and other
coins were all hand stamped, but the people
seemed very 10th to change thom. How
ever, Mr.. Pyne, at the instgation of the
ameer, established mint, and very soon
succeeded in putting into circulation
neatly coined rupee and other coins similarly
well executed.
When the mint had been fairly estab-
lished Mr. Pyne began a cartridge factory,
and this, too, was speedily placed In satis-
factory working order, 80 that the Afghan
workmen are now turning out 1000 cart
ridges day, while their maximum daily
output is placed at 10,O00. Then came a
rifle factory, and, although the work people
had all their lives been accustomed to rely
on the work OF their hands and to be en-
tirely independent of steam machinery,
they very soon learned to appre 1ate the
value Of the improvements introduced by
mr. Tyne. ana at Tue present moment they
are producing the smaller firearms. After
the rife factory had been established,
forge, boot and shoe mandatory, and
an English tailoring establishment were
put IN working order. Asked how the
Afghans took to those new introductions,
Mr.. Pyne said that at first they we're a
little backward, but now they are taking
to them with great enthusiasm, and no.
body is more enthusiastic that the ameer
himself.
In some respects they were Of very in
ventive turn of mind. For instance, about
half dozen Of them set to work to make
steam engine of a quarter horse power. No
one but Afghans had anything to do with
the work, and when the ameer saw the re-
suit of their labors he was sodelighted that
he gave them several thousands of rupees
in order to stimulate others to follow their

The niece of certain senator was visit
ing in Washington, and was assisting her
aunt in receiving one OF her Thursdays,
when handsome young diplomat called.
The fascination appeared TO be mutual, and
for the next two days the household were
entertained by song of praise for the
agreeable foreigner.
The senator gave dinner in honor of his
niece and requested her TO choose whom he
should invite as her escort to the table. She
selected the diplomat and the Congressional
Directory was consulted in order to get his
rank and the proper spelling Of his name,
when it was found that his name was pre-
ceded by the fatal asterisk. which disclosed
the appalling information that his wife ac-
oompanied him.
Another man was invited to take his
place, who proved TO be a bore and made
himself entirely hateful in the eyes Of the
fair young charmer by disclosing the fact
in conversation that 1t was all a mistake, and
the fascinating diplomat was not married
atall. But this information came too late I;
