Robert and Benjamin Hauton. father and
son, living on First avenue, in New York
City, died within a few minutes OF each
other on a recent night from the effects of

The police commenced an investigation Of
what appeared to be a mystery. They found
that for years the Hantons, father AMI son,
had lived in two squalid rooms. Both were

CLEANLINESS IN rHE Many.

Never permit a filthy person around
your dairy. His slovenly habits will
faint everything he touches. Tainted
products are always inferior, no matter
how much care and skill has been exer-
oised in their manufacture. While he
or she is about the place you wilfully
decrease the value Of your labor and
product. Cleanliness at every stage is
an absolute necessity in dairying. 1t
pays, too. What is said against the
presence of slovenly people about the
dairy, applies with equal, if not greater
force to sick or sickly persons.-Ameri.

FEEDING SALT TO HORSES.

d SALT TO HORSES, SHEET, ETC.
1t will not make much difference
whether horses are given salt once or
twice a week, or have it placed in the
form OF large Jumps where they can lick
1t whenever they want it, but in no
case should a large quantity be mixed
with their food. If rock salt is used it
should be placed in a mauger or box,
separate from the one used tor grain and
other food; then there will be no danger
OF the animal eating more thaa he needs
at one time. Sheep require salt as well
as hoIses, and if deprived of it they are
very likely to be infested with various
kinds of internal parasites, such as the
liver fuke, tapeworm, hair worms in the
lntestines, etc. Common salt is natures
vermifuge and destructive to intestinal
worms, and for this reason, if for no
other, domestIcated animals should
always be provided with all their appe.
titles may crave. Sheep in regions where
they are deprived of salt are very likely
to be infested with tapeworms, aud their
flesh Is unfit for human food on this &C.
CUNT. The green scum seen on the sur
face OF the water of stagnant pools or
ponds is composed of minute aquatic
plants, and when these die and decay
they emit the strong odor to which you
refer. The best way to sweeten such
pools-if they canno be drained-is to
utilize them for geese or duck ponds.

William should go on whaling cruise

William came down on the next

had never been on whaling voyage
were regarded as green hands; ard
that when old-timers were clamoring
for chance to ship new man had
very little show. However, Stevens
persevered, and persuaded Capt.
Worth to take him on Whitelaw's
whaler, the schooner La Ninfa. The
green hand proved the mascot or the
trip and he killed the only two
whales taken on the voyage. They
were big fellows and produced $500

How a Little Alligator SCOT Even" with
a Little Snake.


I once saw very funny combat be-
tween a baby alligator and a tiny
snake. Quite number of both were
In a glass tank provided with small
pond, rocks, and growing plants.
You would have thought it perfect
nursery for the babies to grow and be
happy in.
But while this thought was passing
through my mind / saw an alligator
make sudden snap as little snake
was slipping over HIM, and in a mo.
ment the poor little thing found his
head held tight between the needle
like teeth Of the alligator Wriggle
and twist as he might, he could not
get away.
In vain he tried to choke his enemy
by closely encircling his neck the
alligator held his head perfectlyrigid,
and finally shut his eyes with an all
of satisfaction, as If 1t were a
most ordinary thing for him TO hav:
snake tying double bow-knot:
around his neck.
After a long time, either because
he forgot his prize and yielded to q
desire to yawn, or because he thought
the presumption OF the snake In
crawling over him had been suf
flciently punished, the baby alligator
opened his Jaws, and away went the
snake, seemingly none the worse fol
his adventure Nicholas.

when it was Matched. 1t long ago

sive cackling, stole its share Of the
food and occasionally assaulted it
with their broad beaks Life was a
burden to it. and the other morning,
before Williamsbridge awoke to the
fact that it was freezing hard, the
old goose died
Mrs Sellers is 10 doubt whether it
committed suicide or was murdered.
Long before daylight she was
awakened by the cackling of her
geese, and, though it was too dark to
see them by looking out of her bed
room window, she knew by the dlrec-
ton of the sound that they were in
and around the duck pond, sheet
OF water about three leet deep at
the rear OF the house. At intervals,
she says she could hear the guerra

times cut of, at last ceases alto

At dawn Mrs Sellers saw that the
pond was frozen over, and In the CEN
ter was an old goose with its head un.
der the ice. The other birds were
around it on the slippery surface.
They were watching it closely, and
had it moved they would, no doubt,
have forced it back. 1t was quite
dead. however, and Mrs Sellers
thinks the younger geese beat its
head below the water and made it
stay ia that position until the ice
formed around it. She admits, how.
over, that it may have grown weary
of its life and bent its neck while tho
water froze it In.
