It is not economy to save mouldy
grain by feeding it. Often the dam
age to the stock will be more than the
worth of the grain. But in the first
place, a good farmer should have no
mouldy grain.
Have you ever figured out how much
profit you made by letting sheep run
in a field OF corn-stalks till their wool
was full of burs? Some time when in
good spirits undertake the job.
If an animal is "unthrifty" there is
not much use trying to make it turn
winter stores of hay and grain into
money. Get rid Of it and save the
feed.
All wood that is more than two
years old should be cut out from the
currants and gooseberries. They will
produce more fruit; even if the vines
are not so large.

"There are about 10, 900 people in
this land of the free low telling their
children how they shook hands with
President Arthur, who are harboring

the Lindell, says the Globe Democrat.

looked like me. Even men who knew
the President intimately sometimes
mistook me for him, and I probably

He Tried 1t,

"Say, remarked Doogles, the other
day, "you know those stories in the
Christmas ANIMALS and such things,
where a lot of fellows get caught on a
railroad train or on a ferry boat or

Would Not Contradict:

The Queen of saxony neverhad any
children of her own, but she is very
fond Of other peoples children. Hence
it happened a few days ago that,
while walking in the park at Dresden,
she met q nurse in charge Of two little
children, and stopped to admire the
rosy babies. The following dialogue
was then heard: The Queen;-"They
are twins, are they not?" Nurse:
Yes, please Majesty" 81 sup.

Because Mr.. Morrow Was OblI9Ing
He Got a Nice Office.
In the year OF grace 1881 there were
four or five very active young men
who were known as "City Hall report
ers' for the various papers then pub.
lished in the city of Pittsburg. There
had been much discussion about the
retirement from the Office OF City Con-
troller William c. Mccarthy, who had
o the title of watchdog of the
treasury" and there was an equal
amount of discussion as to who would
succeed him. At that time there was
a certain city clerk. one Eustace S.
Morrow by name, who was the pink
OF official courtesy. Many a tired
newspaper man had him to thank for
favors done, for no man was ever
more thoughtful of their needs or
more fully alive to a good item OF
news than the Squire. He was al en-

ordinances contracts and all manner
of affairs concerning the city and the
doings of her officials. One night four
young chiefs OF the city departments
OF the morning papers sat in the
Mayors outer Office and discussed
city politics. Many names were
talked in connection with the
Controllership, but none seemed
to please all the quartet. FL
nally one bright, kindly. impetuous
worker exclaimed: "Boys, I've got
An idea; let's unite in support of
Morrow for Controller and insist on
his nomination. There was an ex-
clamation OF delight from each man,
a hurried discussion OF plans, later
on a consultation with the higher
powers in the various Offices, and the
next day saw the birth OF the Morrow
boom. The morning paper junta
promptly interested the evening paper
men on the movement, and from that
time on for days there was such q
concerted support of Morrow, and the
public were so pleased with the sugges-
ton that it Don became apparent it
was q go. Influential politicians at
first were not pleased at the turn
things had taken, but it mattered lit

too. took up the cry, and Morrow

bouquet tits of enormous size and
il. made to be suspended from the
waist at the side, leaving the brides
hands free for the prayer-book, which
an English bride Invariably carries.
The effect of the acknowledgement

charming against the rich white satin

the decorative effect is still further
heightened by long loops Of white
