wisconsin's Spanish Named Town.

Probably the only town in Wisconsin
that can boast name of Spanish origin
is Boscobel. This is how it happened,
according to Mr.. Ed Meyer Of that place:
During the summer of 1855 Mr.. John
Mortimore, civil engineer in the en-
ploy of the Milwaukee and Mississippi
Railroad company, drove here with his
wife through the sand deserts from
Muscoda there was no town here then.
When they came within view of the
present site of Boscobel, Mrs. Morti-
more. who was a lady of culture and
understood something of the Spanish
language, exclaimed, Bosco- Belle,
what beautiful grove!'' After that
Mr.. Mortimore and C. x. Dean sur
veyed and plated the city and chose
the name Bosco-Belle at the suggestion

SONG.

Therets beauty in the dawning light,
And twilight fair or starlit night
has each its charm and grace,
But lovelier still on earth to me,
The fairest thing my eye can SEQ !
The beauty of thy face. 49,
There's calmness on the oceans breast,
As deep and blue it seems to rest
Meath bluer heavens above,
But deeper. calmer, still to me
Than ever sea or sky can be,
Thine azure eyes, my love!
There's music in the running stream,
And music when the woodlands seem
Awake with songs of birds.
But sweeter, dearer, still to me
Than natures voice can ever be,
The music Of thy words.

HoMllvs POWERS OF THE CAT.
They Are Mysterious and Unfathomabl
Even to Modern Science.

they Are Mysterious and Unfathomabls
Even to Modern Science.
That 8 cat can come home in the face
Of almost incredible difficulties is per-
fectly certain. Thus, to take fact as
an instance, q cat was carried from
town on the northeast coast of Fife to 8
house near Perth. It went in basket
by train to Leuchars, where it changed
Cor Dundee, and at Dundee changed for
Perth. Next day, about in the morn
ing, this cat was observed to run down
the avenue of its new home with pur-
poseful air. On the third day it APP
peared at its old home.
Now, how did that cat achieve it's
journey? Did it take bee line across
country, and, if so, how did it know it's
direction? Or did it run to Dundee, cross
Tay bridge (the railway bridge) and so
along the line to Leuchars, negotiating
the Eden at Guard bridge? We can
hardly suppose that it swan the Tay.
Or did it 60 round by the head of Loeb
Tay-a long rough journey by the Kill
lin, where . cat might meet many dan
gers and tenptations3 The perils Of q
cat on the road are innumerable. Every
collie dog chases 1t, every gamekeeper
has gun for it, every boy is ready with
stone. Indeed we never sec cat on,
it's travels. No doubt it runs by night.
There is the hypothesis that the cat came
by train, changing at Dundee, and achiev-
ing the difficult maneuver at Leuchars,
Wherein many. men have failed, going
back to Dundee or getting to Cupar,
though not one Of them was like him
''that will to Cupar." This method Of
transit, which needs agile acuteness Of
reason in any man, may not be beyond
the powers and intelligence of cat.
But all conceivable ways, from the
bee line across country and over rivers
to the course round Loeb Tay, are full
of perplexities. That the cat simply
rode on a broomstick behind witch is
an hypothesis which brings us into un-
friendly contact with modern ideas of
progress. Somehow the thing was done,
and done in 48 hours. A dog spoken of
by Mr.: Romanes ran from Vienna to
Mentonne, but died Of fatigue. The cat
was as we'll and sound as usual. We
may speak of instinct and inherited apti-
tude, but to find it's old home is of no
use to a cat in the struggle for existence.
Cats, much more than dogs, are indie
pendent of home. They can take to
the heather, the forest or the back green.
Thus the cats which fortuitously devel-
oped the power of ''homing" would be
no better off than other cats and not
more fitted to survive and bequeath their
accomplishment to their progeny.
In face of these facts our boosted
science is dumb. We know little about
cats, but cats know great deal about
us. Faculties of this kind made the cat
a mysterious power in the middle ages.
He was roasted alive that his unknown
protector might come and rescue him by
uttering words of prophecy This very
fact proves the existence of feline Sc
cret society which nobody studies, for
we are all apt to neglect the facts which
underlie and inspire the truths which
are called superstitious. Cats have very

HOW To KEEP PUMPKINS.

A writer in the Ohio Farmer thinks
that to keep pumpkins in fresh state
for ten months or year is a very
simple matter. A person has only to
select those that are sound and well
ripened. Handle them carefully so as
not to bruise the flesh wash and wipe
dry then store them in n dry, warm
room. Let each pumpkin have n
separate rest-that is, do not pile one
on top of another. Keep the temper
ature of the room as even as possible
at all times, and sound, plump pump
kins can be had in June just as well as
in the fall or early part of winter
For the last two years he has kept his

dining room. A portiere hangs at the
opening of the stairway, so the heat
rises and keeps the upper hall at the
same temperature rs the dining room.
If person has roomy pantry, well
secured from frost or dampness, the
upper shelf would answer nicely for n
storing place, or clothes closet, Sc
cured from cold or dampness, would
answer the purpose as we'll. Winter
squashes can also be preserved in like
manner. Dampness and frosted air
will soon put this line of vegetables
ON the road to decay if left long un-
der its influence.

PROFITABLE PIGS.

An Eastern paper has letter from
W. +. Brown, swine grower, in
which he gives his own experience with
pigs Mt five months and three days
old. It would without doubt have
paid to feed them another month, but
the drought had nearly ruined my
corn and / could not buy corn without
paying from five to ten cents above
city price, so concluded to let them
go. My pigs averaged 130 pounds and
were in condition to go on them ar
ket as fnt pigs at a good price. They
were fed entirely on bran and oil meal,
except for the last three weeks, during
which they were on feed of half new
corn. The fourteen pigs ate half a
ton of oil meal at S23 a ton. The
bran was not weighed, but l estimate
that they ate n ton and half, costing
S1S.75, and during the last three
weeks ten bushels of corn worth $4. so.
This makes the cost of their feed from
the time they were weaned $3l. 10
and they sold for $50, which repre-
sents fair profit. did much better
with the fall itters, as l sold them
when the price of pork was at its high
est point. / have now raised three
litters of pigs in succession from thes,
sows. My idea has been to see if
could rear pigs and sell them young
at profit without milk to give then
start and have demonstrated that i
can be done"

Night Air.

Before we can hope to fight con-
sumption with any chance of success
we have to get rid of the night air su-
perstition. Like the dread of cold
water, raw fruit, etc, il is founded on
mistrust of our instincts. 1t is prob
ably the most prolific single cause of
impaired health, even among the civil
lied nations of our enlightened age,
though its absurdity rivals the gross
est delusions of the witchcraft era.
The subiection of holy reason to hear
says could hardly go further. "Be-
ware of the night wind; be sure and
close your windows after dark !" In
other words, Beware of Gods free
mir, be sure and infect your lungs with
the stagnant, azotized and offensive
atmosphere of your bedroom. In
other words. beware of the rock
spring; stick to sewage" Is night air
injurious? Since the day of creation
that air has been breathed with i'm
putiny by millions of different animals
tender, delicate creatures, some of
them fawns, lambs and young birds.
The moist night air of the tropical
forests is brcathed with impunity by
our next relatives, the anthropold apes
the same apes that soon perish with
consumption in the close, though gem
orally well-warmed, atmosphere of our
nothern menageries. Thousands of
soldiers, hunters and lumbcrmen sleep
every night in tents and open sheds

InscriptiOns O2 Coins,

Among the change for dollar which
the conductor of Il North Side car
rendered me the other day was
quarter with an odd inscription.
Nicely engraved across the young lady
who impersonates the Republic on
the coin in singularly strained atti-
tude we're these words: "Given to Anna
Polk, indianapolis, 1871" 1t was not
merely scratched on, but neatly cut in
an easy English script. The conduc-
tor noticed the legend, too, and Of
fered to exchange the quarter for
another But the coin seemed good
enough, and l declined. This, per-
haps encouraged the conductor to re-
mark that he handled more quee~
coins, foreign and domestic, ancient
and modern, during and since the
Worlds Fair than in all his six years
of street railroading previously.
"There was half dollar l took in.

FARM AND GARDEN.
EGGS IN WINTER,

If you want eggs in winter you must
provide a comfortable poultry-house
with windows which will admit snn-
light, and the place must be kept suf-
ficently warm to keep the combs of
the layers from freezing
A wooden floor to the poultry-house
is better than an earthen one, which is
apt to become damp, and dompness is
to be avoided, II you would keep your
aock free from disease and death.
Cleanliness, too, is essential, as are
good warm roosts and open air exercise
on all days which are not damp or ex-
cessively cold.
Chickens, if properly fed and cared
for, can be made to lay nearly as welt
during the winter months as in the
summer The chief secret lies in pro-
viding variety of producing food
anl in keeping the hens IN proper
condition.

Tea-Seed Oil.

1t appears that some of the Ceylon
tea planters are making an organized
attempt to obtain sale for their tea
seed in the London market. A parcel
of seven bags of that article was
offered at the drug sales recently, but
no one seemed TO know what to do
with it, and although the broker
declared his belief that the drug was
''a favorite medicine IN China" the
audience remained unmoved. Never
theless, the tea seed might have been
worth purchasing for the sake of the
bland oil which it contains, to the
extent of about 35 per cent. by weight,
and which resembles olive oil in color
and somewhat in taste. The seeds are
about the size of cherry stone, sub
globular in shape, and of deep
brown color. The oil would be use full
for burning or lubricating. i London

if of variety, it supplies oil the
wants of the flock.
II the farmer will economize with
the food at this season, using no grain.
he will find that his hens will keep in
better health and condition than il
they are fed on grain or other concen-
trated food. The greatest drawback
to the keeping of poultry is not that
the fowls are insufficiently supplied,
but that they are fed too much, and
the cost of their maintenance is more
than it should be. Surfeiting of a
fowl with all the grain that it will eat
is not conducive to thrift or egg pro.
duction.
There is an enormous waste of food
in the summer by the lack of judg-
ment in feeding. Grain is given Law
ishly, when in fact it is the most un.
suitable food that can be allowed dur
ing warm weather. Grass is superior
to any other food now, and if hens are
confined and cannot have the run of
grass-plot, the green food may be cut
up fine and fed to them, and it may
be given three times day, in which
case small quantity of ground oats
or cornmeal may be sprinkled over
the cut food, to each quart of the
ground grain so used teaspoonful of
salt being first intimately mixed with
it. If it is found necessary to give
something else than green food, let it
be lean meat, or meat and crushed Tor

pound to twenty hens being ample.
The hens will lay more eggs when sup
piled with plenty of green food than
when allowed grain freely. = Farm
