Two Clever Women Thwarted.

The other day two women entered one OF
those dry goods store restaurants which
have recently sprung into being, and seat.
ing themselves at table asked the wait.
ress to bring the bill of fare. One imme-
diately fastened to say that she didn't care
for anything The other wanted a cup OF
tea. As soon rs it was brought she tasted
it and exclaimed:
"Dear me, this is altogether too strong.
Bring me cup of hot water, please"
The waitress brought the water and then
went away. As soon as her back was
turned the woman, smiling to her friend,
began to manipulate the cup of tea and
the cup of water. First she put little
water in the tea, and then little tea into
the water, until finally the two were evenly
divided, and lol instead of one there were
two cups of tea. OF course her friend, who
did not want anything the moment before,
was now ready to take some tea, and two
cups Of tea were secured for the price Of
one. At least that was what the women
thought until they came to pay the check.
when they found upon the bill of fare this
item:
"One cup of hot water, six cents"
AS the tea was only eight they really
saved two cents. New York Sun.

What is billioni The reply is very
simple-a million times million. This
is quickly written, and quicker still pro
nounced. But no man is able to count it.
You count l60 or ITO a minute; but let us
suppose that you go as far as 200, then an
hour would produce $4,000; day 2SS, 900,
and year, or S65 days, l05, 10000. Let us
suppose now that Adam, at the beginning
of his existence, had begun to count, had
continued to do so, and was counting still,
he would not even now, according to the
usually supposed age of our globe, have
counted near enough, For to count a
billion he would require 95l9 years, S4g
days, 5 hours and 20 minutes, accord.
ing to the above rule Supposing we
were to allow a poor counter twelve hours
daily for rest, eating and sleeping, he would
need 1905 years, ,Si9 days, 10 hours and
45 minutes.

TIE MILKY WAY.

Over the MILKY Way.
The ancient lIindoos said.
Unseen By light Of day,
To Swarga 20 the dead.
Along Its cleaning reach,
IIetwets th' ethereal poles,
When yama calls them, each
Must tread the bridge Of souls.
Over the Milky Way,
Sang GrecIan poets old
Once, driven far astray,
The suns red chariot rolled.
And each 0lympian god
That same wild path above
With winged sandals trod
Up To the throne of Jove.
Over the Milky Way,
. Tho nOrthmen tell with pride,
As ray meets answering ray
Sulahmid met his bride.
Lonely In heaven afar,
His loves resistless might
Built out, with star on star,
That viaduct Of light.
Over the Milky Way
Our later fancy runs
With science self at play
Among It's maze Of suns,
Where reason can divine,
As sages wisely guess,
Those thicker orbs outline
The cosmic wilderness.
Remoteness infinite,
Where sight its course may urge,
Where thought may fearless fit,
And touch creations yergel
But swiftcr faith o'ericaps
The fairness Of the spheres
To where Gods splendor sweeps
Thro' all TIL eternal years.
His love yon pathway high
Built to life's summit land,
And bado this emblem sky
Tell us, who longing stand,
Al stars In countless sum
One stream Of light prolong,
There Joys w frequent come
They make one all day song.
All. not In wlin for hope.
And not In vain for me,
That lane up heavens blue 'oopo
l,rails itswhlte nebul@;
lseethe same eyes glow
That looked where Jacoblny,
Andthe same glad wingago
Over the Milky Way.

"When was last in Maine, four years
ago. said the tourist, 1.-THE lawns and gar
dens of village homes and the fields were
all fenced. Now throughout the villages
the fences have been taken away from
about the house premises, leaving each
street block bordered by one continuous
lawn. With the spacious and agreeable
effect thus produced, the the throwing off
of all the front yards into a common green
space has led every house owner to vie
with his neighbor in identifying the plat
before his home. Beyond the villages,
along the country roads, farmers no longer
maintain fences, except those about past
ures. Many fences have been removed,
and others are allowed to stand, only to
be taken away as material is needed for
various purposes. The roadside fields
now extend to the edge of the turnpike,
gaining for the for the farmer cultvable
land fertilzed by the dust and wash from
the road. All this improvement has been
effected through the enactment and en-
forcement of statutes making it 4 INSIDE
meanor for any one to permit his cattle to
run at large

Every girl should have some business
that she we'll understands, and if She is
not needed at home she should work as
naturally as her brother. If force of cir
cumstances turns her into the bread-wn-
ner of the family, all honor to her for NIL
ing the position bravely and well. But
she does wrong to seek that career when
hsr higher duty calls her to repay to her
father and mother some OF the love and
care which they gave to her when she was
the one needing it. There is nothing bet
ter for girl than the knowledge OF some
GOOD business which is not in the line OF
those already oucr-crowded. If disaster
comes she is able to face it having protcc-
tion in her skill

Pasturing the Moving Fields.

sis it beneficial or otherwise to the
mowings to Craze the n with COWS in the
fall?n ASH.
This depends, first on how much after
growth there is, and sec ond, on how close
" you feed it down. There is not much
objection to moderate feeding down of a
heavy aftermath, but it should not be fed
down so closely and so late in the season
as to leave the grass roots exposed to the
weather. in which case the grass is often
much damaged by winter, attic also
will injurc the sod in wet weather if the
land is soft. When the aftergrowth is
heavy it is better to cut it early in Octo-
Der with a moving machine and make
rowen hay of it than to feed it down.
The cattle never feed ii down evenly and
the sod will be in better condition after
moving than after feeding. ---liaSS. F2oMeh-

USE DANA'S SARSAPARILA IT'S
THE KIND THAT CURES"

Stock Of every kind and in every place
is more valuable if it is gentle and easily
handled. This will apply equally to the
range and to the little farm where but halt
a dozen head are kept, and it will apply to
horses, sheep, the bnll and the family COW.
The greatest mistake which can be made
in handling stock is to give them to the
charge ola rough, brutal fellow, who treats
them to kicks and curses, and so spois
whatever tendency they may have toward
good dispositions, Every animal on the
place should be so that it could be APP
preached and handled without trouble,
and without showing any signs of fear OF
uneasiness. Aside from the inhumanity
of the thing, the opposite method detracts
from the financial value.

A leading poultry raiser says Pullets
to become profitable layers this winter
must be kept growing the season through.
The average farmer is apt to neglect
them after they are about half grown,
thinking it all right to let them shift for
themselves since they seem willing to do
so. THIS is not the way to secure early
layers. Generous feeding for the first
five months means generous laying for
the next ten months.
