Teaching a Calf to Drink.

There are just two things required
in teaching a calf how to drink; the
first is a little common sense, the sec
ond is patience. The common n
comes in when you consider that it's
nature is to look up for it's food sup
ply. and if you touch the top Of it's
head or nose you must expect it's ten
dency will be to follow up that d.
rection to. find what it is after. Don't
think a calf a day or two old can have
a great amount Of experience, so don't
expect to show very much reasoning
power. You must do that for them.
When your patience begins to waver,
just ask yourself how much more you
knew when you were at the calf's age.
and it may help you to credit the calf
with a little sense and enable you to
overlook a good deal that you might
otherwise attribute to pure cusscd-
ness,

A COUNTRY FIRE DEPARTMENT.
It's Only Engine Goes on Burst Rather
Than Do Mental Duty.

Its Only kngiao Goes on . Burst Rather
Than Do Mental Duty.
An engine in a town doesn't have the
soft snap that one of the pet city ma
chimes does When the fire business is
dull the engine is let out by contract.
1t can pump out cellars. turn lathe in
the pottery, run a wringing machine
or furnish power for a thrashing ma

It SO happened that of late there
have been bat few calls on the engine.
and as it was lying idle and a sources
OF expense to the townsfollS, the select
men thought that 1t might be let out
about town and do chores enough 10
earn its board. One Of the Somerse-
tonians had q cistern, the water IN
which had become somewhat coagu-
lated by an irregular deposit OF dead
cats and old rubber boots and be
thought it bout time TO drsen her
out
SO the engine was let out 70 him az 8
nominal sum, he TO furnish fuel and
labor, etc, and Saturday afternoon the
engine was stationed near the cIstern
to pump it out. The fires were started
and in short time old boots and kitten
skeletons were spoutin9 forth from the
surcharged vault. Suddenly theirs was
a loud report, and the pride OF the
Somerset boys was csvorting in sec
tions through the air. The boiler had

The lessee of the spparst us had for
gotten TO spill little water into the
machine, and she was as dry as toast
two minutes after firing up. The re-
mains were raked together and car
ried becl, 70 the engine house in hack,

throne. On the other hand. if this is
only luck, ! don't wonder that the
prince likes baccarat, but am surprised
that he can get anybody to play with
him.
Seriously, l am of the opinion thai
there never was anything like that
series of races. I spent g large part of
my early life in the vicinity Of Boston,
and have often gone out in a linen dus-
ter and come home with nv pockets
full OF snowballs, but il seems thst
there are still meteorological phenome-
ma that can surprise me.
And the better PERSONS memory,
the more amasing these occurrences
are to him.
The language Of the English yachts
men who, from time to time, have como
over here for the American cup, and
have won second money with a license
to try it again, is still ringing in my
ears.
Having never been 70 England, and
being by nature of trustful DISPOSE
ton, I accepted their descriptions Of
yachting conditions over there with
the most childlike confidence. / was
ready to admit (since several titled
personages said sol that the Atlantic
ocean off Sandy Hook was small body
of water and unfit for racing purposes.
Way back in the days of Galatea and
the Genesta / had accepted this view
and had begun to be ashamed of nv
country as n place which could not get
up a breeze of wind nor a boat fit to
sail in one.
/ had cruised along our coast mora
or less myself, and had frequently seen
decks awash and the first mate hold
ing the captains hair on, but if titled
gentlemen from England were willing
20 swear that our sailing was boys
play, why it must DO so, said /.
l well remember those occasions
when the yachts went down the bay
and did not find wind enough to carry
them over the course. The papers next
morning were always full of the re-
marks of our visitors about the superb
GRITTY of England over US in these mat
tiers.
l did not then perceive how deeply
ballasted with wisdom the remarks
were. Ii now appears that they always
do have little wind over there for one
of the boats, and can see how deeply
disguised these gentlemen must have
been at the sight of one of our Impair
tial calms. 1t is certainly much better
to manage it as they do over there, and
if there is only little wind to get it al
