Blood Thicker than water

Once upon a time, while guest on
board a big English battleship, some
officers of the wardroOm sought to
tease me in regard to relative merit
of American and English sailors in
certain naval engagements of which
/ had sadly hazy idea. was
slowly gathering steam for a patriot
explosion, when one of my British
sailor friends turned the tables in my
favor by this jerky little speech
THAT may be true, but / was at
the bombardment of Alexandria, and
we were in bad fix, and all the war
ships of other countries drew off and
left us to fry Ia our own fat, and
then the Americans came and helped
us. They landed their men; they
kept order in Alexandria; they acted
contrary to orders, but then they
said that blood is thicker than
water"
At this the whole wardroom burst
into cheer, and nothing more was
heard of Chesapeake and Shannon
yarns Then another weather. beaten
marine barnacle told his little story.

Cnre of Small rhinra-

An old Philadelphia tells \ story
illustrating the manner in which the
sons of the house Of Drexel, the we'll
known bankers, were brought up.
Upon one occasion, returning from
the, Barbados, he brought back a
considerable quantity Of gold and sill
yer tied up in small bags, as was the
custom, and had them carried to the
banking Office Of the DreXels for
sale. The bags were emptied out on
the counter, and the coins carefully
counted and set aside in separate
piles, in order to calculate the cor
rect sum for which the bank check
should be drawn. After this was
done old Drexel took from inside his
desk one of the feather Quill pens
then generally used, and with a sheet
Of white paper he slowly swept Off
that portion OF the counter upon
which the coin had been handled,
and as carefully shook the paper
into a tin box. The depositor could
not see any dust on the paper,
so he smilingly asked Mr.. DreXel
what was gained by the sweep
ings, and was greatly astonished
at the old gentleman's kindly re-
ply; "Why, young man, it brings
me in clean profit Of one thousand
or fifteen hundred dollars a year"

eral" from the Confederates at Big
Shanty, Ga, in April, 1862. 1t was
their intention to seize a locomotive
and train Of cars and then dash back
in the direction Of Chattanooga, cut
ting the telegraph wires and burning
the bridges behind them as they adj
vanced until they reached their own
lines. The twenty-five men were
captured and placed in jail at Chat
tanooga. Their leader James j.
Andrews, was tried and executed as
a spy, Twelve Of the number were
transferred to the prison at Knox
vile, and seven Of them were ar
raigned before a court martial,
charged with being spies. All the
prisoners were removed to Atlanta,
Ga. On June IS, 1862, their prison
door was opened and the death sem
tence Of the seven who were tried at
Knoxville was read to them. They
were at once tied and carried out to
execution. The remaining fourteen
made their escape from prison in Oc-
tober, 1862. Six reached the Union
lines, six were recaptured, and of the
remaining two nothing is known.

COWS AND HIRED MEN.
Points Wen Worth the Attention of Ev-
cry Dairy Man.

Points Well Worth the Attention OF Ev"
cry Dairy Man.
Every discerning farmer, who has
kept cows knows In general way
that there is a great difference in the
amount Of milk they will get from
the same COW, AS between two hired
men in milking ten or twelve cows
Of equal flow, one man will be worth
double what the other is In his in
tluence over his cows Until DR.
Babcock made special experiment
on this matter but little was really
accurately known as to the extent Of
this personal influence in affecting
the profits Of cows. How much we
have learned on old, old questions
the past ten years! The Doctor made
a careful test, which was published
in the Dairyman some years ago, but
which should be mentioned frequent
ly, on account Of its Importance to
the dairy farmer 1t is important
that the size and scope Of the mat
ter become a living, vital principle
with him, guiding him in his own
treatment Of his cows and in the ed
ucation of the men he employs. A
hired man who is well educated in
the handling Of cows, who has quick
brain, kind heart, patient man
ner, and a skillful hand is worth
double the amount that man Of
opposite character will cost.
DR.. Babcock found that one mixer
obtained from four cows 26,2 pounds
Of butter fat In seven days. From
the same cows the week following,
another mixer obtained 21.8 pounds.
Here was a difference of nearly four
pounds and one hall of butter fat
depending for its value, Of course, on
the price Of butter Neither Of
these mixers was abusive, and both
MIXED the cows equally dry, BY this
convincing experiment any dairyman
can see how important it is to take
especial pains to educate the hired
man, as we'll as himself, to an under
standing Of what he has at risk
The usual number Of COWS MIXED by
one person in a large dairy Is from
eight to fifteen. In Dr. Babcock's
experiment II butter was twenty-five
cents pound one man was worth at
least twenty-eight cents a COW a week
more than the other. When a man
is milking, say ten cows, this would
amount to 50. 80 week, or nearly
$12 a month. This is but one Of the
hundreds Of fine points that throng
the pathway of dairy farming. 1t
shows so clearly that this unthink-
ing, threading, unskillful way Of
handling cows that so many farmers
practice can not pay in the nature of
things. -Hoard's Dairyman.

so that the three are adapted to
count up to 900, and the series may
be extended, If desired, to count and
register any required higher number.
The disks are all moved from the
units shaft, to which a rotary motion
is impaired by the movement of a
slide worked up and down by an ad-
Unstable connection with the space
key of the machine. The counting
mechanism may readily be thrown
out Of gear when desired, and there
is also an arrangement by which the
gong is struck at every hundred
words. This counter can be made at
small expense and, in addition to its
other uses, is designed to be particu-
larly valuable on typewriting ma
chimes operated to print words COM
ing on a telegraph receiver, where
the operator writes out the words
from sound and cannot so easily keep
the count.

He Explained.

In Washington County, Miss,
which is liable to annual inundation
from the father of waters, dWells old
Jesse D.. On one occasion he was
witness in case, and prefaced his
answer to every question with the
irrelevant remark: "Wa'al, l war
desperately overlooked that year. 1"
Annoyed by the constant petition of
this remark, the examining counsel
finally said, in a rather sneering
tone: @Mr. D., will you please
state to the court and jury what you
mean by being DESPERATELY over
flowed?" Strengthening himself up
to his full height-six feet three
and with a drawl of corresponding
length, he REPLIED "Wa'al, sir, l
mean thar war too much water for
wagonin' and not enough for bOatin'."
The counsel gave it up.

WHY they Arc shifted.

The shifting about OF the admiral1
Of the United States navy necessi-
tated by the approaching retirement
Of several now commanding In foreign
water is thing Of frequent occur
renee, because no rear admiral ever
long enjoys that rank on the active
list. OF last years six rear admirals
only three remain on the active list.
Few of the rear admirals can remain
more than three or four years on the
active list. Admirals Drum, Greer,
Wallscr and Stanton, who are among
the latest promotions, have been in
the service from forty-four to forty
seven years.

Asparagus.

Asparagus, deservedly favorite
vegetable, was extensively cultivated
by the ancient Romans, but was not
introduced into England before 1860.
In some parts of Europe the seeds
are used as a substitute for coffee,
and spirituous liquor is made from
the ripe berries. Asparagus is both
lithic and diueretic, and its roots
were once extensively used in medi-
cine. The young tender sprouts or
stems, from six to ten inches long,
are the edible parts, and those that
are entirely green are the most ten
der and delicate The white aspara-
gus is, as a rule, very tough, the tips
alone being eatable. In some old
recipe books directions are given for
boiling asparagus one hour, but this
is a great mistake. Twenty or thirty
minutes is long enoug1 to cook 1t
sufficiently.

Girls ina Gage.

Girls are said to be treated in a
curious way in the Pacific island OF
New Britain. From two or three
years old until they become of age
they are kept In cages, made of palm
leaves. They are taken out once ey-
cry day to be washed, but in all 9TH
er respects this kind of imprisonment
is very strict. In spite of this SEEM
ingly harsh usage, however, they grow
up hardy and healthy. But it may
be doubted if this custom is really
generally observed by the islanders.

No Advantage.

A clerical looking gentleman OF
the "Private Secretary" pattern was
among the arrivals at the st. Cloud
yesterday While he was registering,
Frank Lincoln, the globe-trotting
humorist, watched him curiously.
At the proper moment he stepped
up to the hotel register and read the
newly signed name, &c. Rupert Coke,
England, Turning to him, Lincoln
extended his hand, and said;-"How
do you do, Mr.. Coke. Let me well
come you to America"
"Really, you must pardon me-, re-
piled the Englishman, very timidly
and evidently doubling his new &C.
quaintance, "but | really"
"Oh don't you remember me? We
met at luxor, up the Nile, and after
ward Travelled up the Mandalay to-
gether."
"Ah, yes; ah yes" drawled the En-.
glishman. "You were giving enter
tainments, initiating American cock
tails, and such things. l am really
glad to meet you.
"That was a horrible ride up the
Mahdalay," remarked Lincoln,
Every beastly," was the reply.
"Just think, twenty-four hours tC
go 316 miles. Well, you'll see the
difference in this country" said Lin
coin, throwing out his American
chest. "Our trains sometimes traveI
that many miles in an hour"
~Ah, yes, l know" answered the
Englishman quickly, "but unfortu
nately you generally arrive in pieces.

A Colt Furnishes Ram for Cruelty


The following is a little incident
which came under the observation of
the writer Two young horses have
been kept in a pasture with a num-
Der Of cows and year old calf, and
they were accustomed to come up to
the gate every night with the cows,
the older leading the line, and the
younger bringing up the rear. Ow-
ing to want of water in their past
ure some sheep were brought to the
one in which the horses and cows
were kept, and these sometimes fol-
lowed the cows when they came at
night to be MIXED. One night they
did so, and when all the animals
were standing together the ram but
ted the calf, which could not defend
itself, and the older colt, going over
to it, seized the ram by the wool on
its back and, lifting it entirely of
the ground, shook it vigorously. He
then placed it on the ground and ii
quickly ran away, while the horse
continued to stand guard over his
friend. Our Dumb Animals.

on each side Of the trolley wheel, to
catch the wire as the wheel tends to
slip Off, has been tried at Chicago
with fairly good results, but, after
all, this expedient represents only a
partial solution Of the problem. On
one German road, built at the city Of
Barmen, the conventional trolley
wheel has been entirely abandoned,
its place being taken by an oblong
metal frame, the upper side Of which
bears against the under portion Of
the conducting wire. The frame is
supported by something analogous to
trolley pole, and the theory Of
action apparently is that the width
Of the frame will permit considerable
lateral movement without breaking
contact

The House of Hapsburp.

Rudolph Won Hapsburg, riding to
his Swiss home from hunting, came
upon priest carrying the sacrament
to a sick man. The priest on foot
was stopped by river Rudolph i'm
mediately dismounted, set the priest
and sacrament on horseback, and led
the steed by the rein to the sick
mans house, He declined to take
the horse again to daily use, but gave
it to the priest for the service Of the
church.
Remembering this deed, Werner,
Archbishop Of Mainz, in 1918, pro-
cured the election of Rudolph as King
Of the Romans and Kaiser Hence
we have the source and fount of the
proud imperial house Of Hapsburg.
Schiller enhances the legend in one
OF the best of his ballads, der Graf
Won Hapsburg." 1t may be mentioned
that the late heir to the imperial
throne of Austria was named after
his illustriOus ancestor Rudolph.
