A happy idea struck my father Having

Become n Hindoo Fakir.

A singular, if not unique. case of
European turning fakir, or HindOo holy
n1an-and that in the most European sta
ton in India-has been brought TO light.
AT Bishop Cotton school, at Simla, there
was once an English boy named Charles
de ReusSelte. He got into some boyiSh
sc-ape and TO avoid the consequences abb
seconded. Search proved abCrtiVe, and
nothing more was heard of the fugitive.
1t appears now that he had wandered no
farther away than Mt Takkho, just
above. There he had taken refuge with
the fakir of a native temple. He be
came first the holy mans acolyte and
eventually his successor. His identity
with the runaway schOOlboy was entirely
lest. and the sanctity of his life made him
an exceedingly influential parsonage.
Meantime Charles de Reusselte had be-
come entitled to a large fortune and was
being advertised and sought fOr far and
wide without success. One day a CORE
spondent of the Lucknow Gazette, VINO
CHANGED TO be at Simla, fell in with the
fakir and either discovered his secret or
had it communicated TO him, but the
heir manifested no desire to claim his IN
heritAnce. On the contrary. he assured
the Gazette's correspondent that he should
never revert to the religion of his fathers
nor ever return TO civilization. He was
quite happy where he was. There, at all
events, he is still.

that IL is impossible to record them here
but each one must attend to them as
they present themselves.-Farm Journal.
Unless the surface is very uneven, and
the soil light and porous. but little fer
tility Is wasted from manure drawn upon
the field when fresh. even when the
ground is frozen or heavy rains intervene
Thus on many farms, where the surface
is level or only slightly rolling, manure
may be spread at almost any time OF the
year.
At al recent sale in England it is re-
ported that good driving horses sold brisk

Carrots. turnips and beets. if fed raw TO
cattle, should always be sliced and not
cut up into irregular pieces. Cattle are
much more liable to being cholzed than
any other class of stock.
When bran and middlings are bought
and fed to the stock il is equivalent to
buying manure at the same time, as all
foods brought on the farm add to the

is spread.
One Of the difficulties encountered in
keeping sneep is that they do not always
thrive if the f0cks are large. 1t is for
that reason that merinOs and SOuthdOWns
have been more popular than some of the
large breeds, as they are active fCTagerS,
and can be kept in larger numbers in one
flock than the oxford or Shropshire
downs.
Clover that IS seeded down in August
where the ground does not freeze in win
ter ard throw the young plants out, will
give good crop the next year. Crimson
clover makes such rapid growth in the
fall, compared with the red variety, that
1t becomes firmly rooted before winter
sets in and starts off early in growth in
the spring.
II bones cannot be reduced to a very
fine condition pound them, or break them

around trees. But little benefit will be
derived from coarse pieces OF bone for A
year or two, but it is better TO thus utilize
them than to allow them to accumulate
into unsightly heaps.
Shelter is the most important matter
connected with farming. The capital in
vested in shelter enables the farmer to
save food by keeping the aniamls warm.
When the winter is severe the animals
require more food than in summer in
order 70 create sufficient warmth to pro-
tect the bodies from cold. The more
an animal is exposed the more heat must
be created and additional food viii be
necessary. Comfortable stock will in
crease more rapidly in weight than if
given no shelter. and the gain to the far
mer in the saving Of food and the free
dom from disease of the flock or herd will
return a fair profit on the investment in
shelter

A Hero mt the Throttle.

A train pulled out of Duluth bearing $50
passengers, men, women ana children. The
name Of the engineer was Root James
Root. a commonplace name, fitting a com
monplace man. As the train sped on the
sunlight became darkened, and darkness
grew so that the lamps were lighted in the
cars and the great eye of the engine was
set af1ame There's a storm coming.
Jack said the engineer to MCGOWAN, his
fireman. But the clouds were a death pail
gathering about the train from fires Of the
forest that even then feeding
villages and drinking up the blood Of hu-
man victims.
After a time these clouds wrapped the
train 50 densely in their folds that the
character Of them became known to the
ha,f-stifled passengers, and terror entered
in with them The light of the engine
could penetrate them only to reveal less
than a hundred feet OF track, and the
speed of the train was rush through

Arms of flames reached in through the
windows of the cab and caught the cloth

had to fling buckets of water over him as

The class of farmers who send milk 10
the city markets are among the most en-
terprising, says the Philadelphia Record,
and when the milk business is conducted
inte.igently there is almost always a sure
profit. Considering the kind of stock used
by a large number OF farmers, and the
low prices obtained for milk, It is sur
prising that farmers can afford to invest
50 much capital in buildings and stock as
may be noticed on al large dairy farms.
but the milk and butter business seems
TO have the preferences in this section Of
the country, and the production Is enor-
nous. The herd that contains cows which
yield two gallons OF milk per day. from
each cow, as an average during the ten
months in the year, IS considered a good
one, and If cents per quaro Is obtained
for al milk shipped it IS considered . sat

where the Profits Are Obtained.
The profit is not entirely from the milk
and butter sold. The farmer sells his
own labor with the milk, and also
charges for the use Of his teams which
haul the cans 10 the station. The manure
also contains a large share of the profit.
and the natural increase Of the stock Is
an item 10 be considered. 1t IS in the in
creased fertility OF the soil that the great
est gain 10 the farmer results. The keep
ing Of dairy stock necessarily entails the
use of more horses. and the raising Of
pigs is also a matter connected with
daiTying, in order to save the refuse ma
terial. The animals thus provide a home
market for the products Of the farm, and
enable the farmer TO avoid hauling his
crops to market in bulk, by feeding his
grain and hay to the cows and shipping
the milk. Then, again, the receipts are
frequent, the cash coming in daily or
weekly, and at all seasons of the year.
Doubling the Profits.
II the farmer can increase the daily
yield of each COW but q single quart it
amounts TO seventy-five gallons during
the tn months allotted as the milking
period of each cow. If ne can double the
yield 10 four gallons per day, or even
more, the profits will b. perhaps trebled

can be accomplished by the use of inn
proved stock. The labor and care VIII be
the same as for the lesser quantity of
milk, but the value of the herd will be
greater and the outlay less in proportion
10 the increase in production. Much as
has been written in favor of the pure
breeds large number of farmers still
continue t. use cattle that are far below
mistaken views of economy have kept
them struggling against the tide when
they should be prosperous. Breed is the
key to success, and the farmer who has
overlooked that fact has deprived HIM
self of his greatest advantage.

Danger from Catarrh.

The most important feature about that
very common complaint. catarrh in the
head, is its tendency to develop into some
other more serious and dangerous disease
The foul matter dropping from the head
into the bronchial, tubes or lungs Is very
liable to lead to bronchitis or consump-
ton. that destroyer which causes more
deaths in this country than any other
disease. AS catarrh originates in inn
purities in the blood, local applications
can do but little good. The common
sense method of treatment is TO purify
the hood, and for this purpose there is
no preparation superior to Hoods Sar-
saparilla. The powerful action of this
medicine upon the blood expels every i'm
purity. and by so doing cures catarrh and
gives health to the entire organism.

Courcil is very widely known. It will be
remembered that he was the principal hero
of the diplomatic "indiscretions'' perpe-
trated by the Figaro a few months ago.
He was president of the late international
court Of arbitration at Paris, on the
Behring sea seal fishery dispute between
England and America. Baron de Courcil
has a peculiar history. His original name
was Chaudron. and his father, a country
attorney, was family solicitor to the Tai
leyrands. The attorney begged Talley-
rand to take his clever son to England as
one Of his secretaries, which the diplo-
matist finally did. after having procured
a change of name and a title for the old
attorney. Since then the present Baron's
rise has been rapid. He formerly repre-
scented France at Berlin.
