A Book for a Husband.

An amusing story of how confirmed
old bachelor, who combined with his
bachelorhood the qualities of the biblio-
maniac, came finally to marry, is told by
an English newspaper. 1t appears that
the lonely old book worm employed an old
servant to take care of his rooms. Upon
her fell the task of arranging and busting
the library, and she soon came to be smit
ten with taste for reading. She began
to spend all of her earnings in buying
books, and, strange to say, they were old
books that she bought and read. One
afternoon she came in with parcel of vol
umes picked up from the bOOkstalls. Out
of curiosity the master turned over the
leaves of her treasures, and we can well
imagine the more or less supercilous smile
that played upon his countenance as he
thought of the humorous phase of this old
woman turned bibliophile. Suddenly his
face lighted up.
Chow much did you give for this?'' said
he, picking up a volume with great eager
ness.
Fifteen pence was the answer
Fifteen pence? Why, this is worth a
thousand pounds, cried the collector. He
reflected, when too late, how stupid he had
been to speak, and in vain tried to recall
his words. II will give you fifty shillings
for it," said he.
''Sir, you have just told me it was W orth
thousand pounds"
The old creature was not to be cheated,
and the bookworm at last offered one hun
bred pounds. 1t was a first edition, ex-
tremely rare, of Montaigne. He was a
good buyer, but his servant would not
take a fraction less than one thousand
pounds, which sum was more than he
he could afford. That night the connois-
seur dreamt of Montaigne. At last he
could resist no longer. AT any price he
must have the old book. "This woman
takes good care of me; she appears to be
smitten with the same passion for old
books" said he to himself next. "Why
should l not marry her? l should then
have my Montaigne."
So he went to her the following day and
popped the question: She accepted
him, and they were married
The clever old dame brought him the
book as a dowry. -Hdrper'S Bazaar.

A mare owned by Herman COLBY of San

A mare owned by Herman Colby of San
born, n. H., recently gave birth to triplets
Two of the foals were about the size of
kittens, and the third perfectly formed and
of normal size. The mare was bred to a
Percheron stallion weighing 1000 pounds.
At the Vermont dairymen's meeting last
winter, it was claimed by experienced dali
rymen that gluten meal fed to cows had a
tendency TO make soft butter, and that for
this reason it was not well to feed it in
summer, says the Maine Farmer Dairy
men will do well to look out for the quail
ty of their product. Gluten meal is an
economic food, but if it has the effect
claimed it should be laid by for winter use.
A Minneapolis paper tells of man who
is making it his business to travel through
several counties, buying newly born calves
at so cents apiece, which he ships to his
farm, where they are killed, skinned, and
chopped up-lights, livers, and bones and
packed into boxes and shipped to Chicago
firm. The Chicago firm puts them through
some process and sells them to the restau-
rants for ''pressed chicken" This man
has shipped large numbers of these calves.
A new enterprise of some account is
looming up. 1t is the farming out of rail-
road damage suits. Three years ago the
officers of one of the trunk lines asked a
firm of lawyers what sum they would take
to defend the road in all suits arising from
death, accident, and destruction of proper
ty, and pay the damage in case of loss.
The lawyers named a figure, and have
since relieved the officers of all anxiety
and, virtually, of responsibility. Their
undertaking, like insurance, is somewhat
speculative, but they have killed so many
suits in the courts and have compromised
on such advantageous terms in other cases
that they have made large profit. Other
roads have followed suit within year or
so, and now several firms of lawyers are
devoting themselves to this work. A road
that hardly includes 300 miles of track is
understood to pay S65, 900 year as an in
surance against damage suits
