Feed for Work Horses.

Ample preparations should be made
for green food for them. A plot of
clover or rye or orchard grass should
be always laid out for the early
spring feeding. A stock Of bran should
be especially provided for the season
when the old coat is shedding, and a
daily ration Of it given through the
summer. It has an excellent effect on
the skin and will prevent that frequent
irritation which SO annoys the animals
at this season after winters feeding of
corn. A mash of bran and linseed, two
quarts of each, lightly sailed and sweet
ened with sugar or molasses, will be
most useful, and the grateful whinny
with which the horse will receive this
luxury will tell as eloquently as words
might how it is appreciated by him.

She Kissed the Negro.

In cold Vienna" one of the most at
tractive features of Midway plaisance, a
strange incident was noticed. A native
of Abyssinia had entered the restaurant
and was seated at one of the tables. He
was tall and we'll formed. His hair fell
in ringlets upon his shoulders. He was
young and handsome, but black asnight.
Presently a pretty little Viennese wait
ing maid tripped up to where he sat.
reached down and gave him rousing
kiss. There was great laughter all
around, and the handsome darby also
laughed, for he enjoyed the joke fully.
1t seems that the waiting maid had been
challenged by party Of American visit
ors to kiss the swarthy stranger. She
accepted the challenge and won SO
thereby.
No woman who had lived any length
of time in this country would have done
that thing. The Viennese girl seemed to
have no suspicion of any indelicacy In
the act, and the fact that the Victim to
her pleasantly was negro gave the ad-
venture, in her opinion. all the more
spice.
No one who goes to Europe from this
country can fail to be startled by the
seemingly special favor in which the ne
gro is held abroad. We do not wonder
that the negro likes life in England, Ger
many and France. We are not surprised
to read In the dispatches that negro
jockeys are offering their services free,
provided English t1rfmen will pay their
transportation to England and board
them while there. In Europe the negro
is petted. He enjoys privileges hardly
accorded to Caucasian visitors. And
womankind there simply dotes upon
him. Chicago Record.

A Stranger In the Land.

The refusal of the house of commons
to adjourn over Derby day recalled a
story related of one of the Roman Cath.
olic peers who took their seats some four
or five years before the passage Of the
first reform bill after an exclusion of q
century and half. He gave notice that
on certain day he would make o Ger
tain motion. whereupon there arose from
his noble colleagues a general cyy Of
"Derbyl" The astonished novice named
another day, only to be greeted with an
equally unanimous expostulation of
"Oaks~ At this he explained that he
would have to ask the forgiveness Of
their lordships, but having been educat-
ed abroad he was forced to acknowledge
that he was not familiar with the list of
saints days in the Anglican calendar

Typewriting by Wire.

The telotype, or electrical typewriter
has been designed to meet the require
ments of a rapid and reliable printing
telegraph instrument, which has long
been needed. This instrument is ma
nipulated very much in the same way as
q typewriter. The transmitter as well
as the receiver makes a copy Of the mes
rage, and the liability Of mistakes il
thus largely decreased. The instruments
work in unison, and it is impossible te
send a message from one machine unless
the corresponding machine at the end Of
the distant line is properly receiving

Live Stock Points.

Stock feeders near the Rocky noun
tains have one advantage over their east
ern competitors in the matter of curing
hay and fodder. The dry, light air Of
their country cures hay and fodder in a
way that preserves much more Of the
food value than is the case with the same
kind of crops cured in the rain region.
Sheep and steers in the west prefer the
air dried fodder to ensilage.
There is one plant that's never touched
by an insect, and that is tansy. If you
rub a horse over with handful of it be-
fore taking him out upon the road, it is
claimed that the flies will not touch him.
At any rate it does not cost much to try
Rubbing cows legs with an infusion
of tansy just before you milk her will
keep the flies away and allow you to pro-
coed in peace.

much pleasanter to see fine horses out
doors than in wooden circus tent, shut
ND in sitting atmosphere with dudes
and fashionable women who come to
show their style and good clothes. The
open ar horse show is a compromise be-
tween the annual display of fashionable
men and women with some fashionable
horses thrown in on the one hand and
the county fair exhibition of useful ami
mails. At the same time the New York
affair has leaning to the side of fash
ion. One Of the premiums was for the
best pair Of farm horses. This prize,
500, was won by pair of splendid big
grays named Pepper and Ginger, be-
longing to plain Long Island farmer.
On the other hand, however, premium
of $500 was given for best "all round

stations, hunters and high steppers.
Among the useful classes may be named
park hack horses and delivery wagon
horses, for the latter iof which prize of
500 was offered by well known dry
goods firm. Most of the premiums were
$lo0 in money. Then, too, there were
hurdle and other races, tandem teams
and high jumpers, for the millionairea
and their hest girls.

Grated bravery, more metal. How often
you see a man start out in some good
enterprise, and at the frstblast OF news

courage gone, forgetful of the fact that
if man be right all the newspapers Of
the earth, with all their columns pound

is wrong that he can be damaged. Why,
God is going to vindicate his truth, and
he is going to stand by you, my friends,
in every effort you make for Christ's
cause and the salvation of men.

This is the way the latest fish story is
told hereahouts; Joseph S. Frey and
William Bercaw were trout fishing up in
Monroe county on Saturday. While
forcing his way through a thick clump
of bushes overhanging the stream Ber-
cav saw good sized trout dart out
from bank of the creek and pass d.
rectly beneath him. Working his way
to a secluded nook a few feet above, the
anxious angler cast his fly with such
skill that in few seconds he caught and
safely landed speckled beauty about
ten inches in length. He made second
effort, but could get no more trout there.
! Well, the fishermen continued on their
way until their sport had ended and they
seated themselves to clean their fish, of
which, of course, they had a fine lot On
opening one of the trout the fish was
! found to contain a diamond shirt stud.
This caused Bercaw to look for his dia-
mond, when it was found to be missing.
Then it flashed to the fshermans mind
how fortu lie had been--that in pass
ing through the brush his diamond had
been forced from his shirt front; the
trout he had seen dart in front of him
had swallowed the jewel and then be
had succeeded in capturing the fish.
To a reporter who inquired OF Mr..
Bercaw concerning the truthfulness OF
the story, the latter declared it to be a
fact in every particular. -Easton Pa.)
