No upplsmental food il better than
ground oats as telp 10 developing The
balrr calf. As soon as she begins to eat
hay she should have little night aud
morning, fed dry. Begin with bali pint
Of feed or even less, and frsdually iaoresse
the quantity until she will take pint at =
feeding. See tuat you keep her thrifty
and growing. A calf which is once stnntl
cd by insufficient or improper food viii
never make no good COW ss she would
otherwise have been, no matter bow much
pains you NAV take subsequently to make
amends Tor the early neglect.
But the feeding Is not the only thing
With the calf which you exp ct to develop
into dairy COW. Tue traiuiug il almost
equally important She should to taught
to led by halter, to stand quietly and
bear handling long before the time when,
ss a cow. she will he forced to submit to
these restraints.
No forcibe breaking 10 will be necessa
~ if YOU are willing 10 take little pans
about these matters during early calihood
and it paws much better to DO 1t then and
this way than later and more forcIbly.
With such treatment you can easily del
vslop kind and gentle disposition, which
ls of decided money value when you come
10 putting her in the dairy.

TIE accused peron wes prominent
citizen of the place and was greatly beloyt

Ts the trial proceeded the faces Of the
jurymen were filled with anIiety. When
they al last retired it became evident to
them that the prisoner could not be &c.
Quilted of ell blame, according to the eylI
dence, but they decided that II be must be
considered guilty Of something they
would make that something as light az
possible. Accordingly the foreman grave
" announced on the return TO the court
room that they fonnd the prisoner guilty
OF drunkenness.
Ia spite OF the gravity Of the case rip
pie Of amusement ran over the courtroom
at this verdict. The judge, with consider
able severity and with with great clear
mes, again charged the Jury and again
they retired
A long interval elapsed At last they
came struggling in again. Once more the
tie foreman confronted the Judge and
thus snnounced the verdict

THE BIBLE SCHOOL.

The Advance Of Chicago has some very
sensible remarks on the Bible school as fol-
lows 1t would be safe to affirm, that not
one-half is being done through the agency OF
the Sunday-school which might, and which
because it might, ought to be done. More
urgently than words can express, there
is need OF a ''great awakening on oil
sides to this matter. The exigencies OF
these tremendous social. industrial and
other crises and revolutions, which some
look upon with exceeding hopefulness,
others with deep alarm and foreboding,
are such Us only guilty blindness OF mind
and hardness of heart can disregard. Minis
ters might oftener preach on the matter than
they do. In the midweek prayer-meeting
conferences might we'll often be held, and
with an intensiyeness OF practical interest as
though it were council OF war" in antici-
patton of the impending conflicts. And,
more than all else, everybody who knows the
time and is actually intent on doing his own
part, ''without tarrying for any, obed1ent to
his own diviner impulses, may add his lndi-
vidual momentum to the common movement
More can be brought in. There can be bet
ter teaching. The intellectual element can
be made more worthy OF the theme OF study.
There could be great deal better prepara-
ton on the part OF the teacher. In the nome
the subject Of the les ons from week to week
might be made matter OF common IN
terest and investigation, and In ways tnat
should give delight to oil mental activity ana
make revealed truths seem OF all things most
winsome. Then when one comes In as o
member of the church school, the church at
school, he will come to stay.

RELIGIOUS READING.
WHAT TO DO NEXT FOR CHRIST.

Do the next thing unless it is something
which you cannot do for Christ When any
one has determined to begin the Christian
life, and sometimes when Christian of some
experience is decided upon living henceforth
in more thoroughly consecrated way: there
often occurs kind of pause or interval be-
fore the new manner Of life is fairly entered
upon. We know this delay to be needless
and indefensible but we do not quite see how
TO prevent it.
Do the next thing for Christ. In the case
of Matthew it was to rise up and accompany
Christ. and he rose up and followed Him.
After Paups vision it was to submit himself
to those who had been His followers and to
let them guide him to his journeys end he
did so. Whenever any one comes face to face
with Jesus, so to speak, and acknowledges
allegiance to Him, the next step is to do the
next thing for His sake in whole-hearted
faithfulness, whether it be making cake or
bargain, loading a hay cart, solving phil
osophical problem. comforting some invalid,
appealing to some other sinner, or something
else.
But If the next thing in the old order has
become wrong by reason Of the change Of
ones purpose and cannot be done for Christ,
what then? Duty then means refusal, as If
bartender were to give himself to Christ
when on the point Of mixing O drink for
some topper. Do the next thing, whether
positively or negatively, 30 as to show that
you have become Christs servant. The I'M
portance of this next thing lies in the fact
that it presents the first opportunity of illus
trating the principle Of loyalty newly adopt
ed, Of clinching the determination to be true
to the Redeemer. Neglect of that opportu-
nifty means unfaithfulness. 1t involves the
weakening instead of the strengthening OF
holy purpose.

Messengers and guards for the
United States Express Company are
being furnished with rapid-fre repeat
ing shotguns with which to guard the
property in their charge. Beside the
bullet and bomb proof doors to the
express cars and the burglar-proof
safes, which cannot be opened even by
the messengers, train robbers will find
guards and messengers supplied with
these guns in addition to the revolvers
they have always carried and ready
and willing to engage in a shooting
scrap at short range.
TO ex-senator Thomas G. Platt,
President of the United States Express
Company, is due the adoption OF the
repeating shotgun. He has been ex-
perimenting for some time with guns
of various makes, and perhaps he
would vet have been undecided as to
what make was best for the purpose,
but a practical demonstration of the
value of one gun was made when one
Devery, a would-be-robber, drew a
pistol on Guard Bell in the Washing
ton depot. Bell had a Winchester
pump" shotgun with six cartridges
in it, and he fired twelve large-sized
buckshot into the person OF Devery,
and he Was carried to hospital to
have his wounds dressed. The attend
ing physician expressed surprise at
the wounds, and said that at forty
Yards man would be riddled with the
discharge from it.-Detroit Free Press.
