Got His En- pity Jar.

II was snowbound in Michigan a
few years ago, between CooperSville
and Nun:ca," said a travelling sales
man. 'The snow was 70 .rteet deep
on a level and still falling. The
passengers had eaten up everything
the train boy had, including even
mixed cand es, and children were
crying for food. A grocery salesman
offered his samples of Tea and coffee,
and these were boiled at the engine.

waded through the snow, and by the

but we could detect the odor of cook

would be sulceSsful. In answer to
our knock a WOman came to the door
and fatty refused to let US have
bread at any price. Five large loaves,
just baked, were on a table and a Jar
of butter near it l told my friend
to go to the front door and argue
with them while l stole the food.
This program was carried out and l
started back tn, ough the snow with
the bread and butter. 1 had not

An Essay on the Cow.

A Maryland lad is responsible for
the following i%nteresti.g description
of a very useful animal:
'fThe COW is made of cOW5kin,
which is thick and very raw, and this
skin is covered with short hair. The
cowskin is used for making hide
whips. The tail is of very long hair,
and is about a yard and a-quarter
long. The COW is tat and it's blood is
thick. Its ears are made of cowskin,
too. The cows nose is about a-quar-
ter of an inch thick, and is made vi
bone covered with skin. It's teeth
are used for eating corn. They are
each a quarter OF a inch long and d
quarter of an inch wide. The cows
front paws are made ofskin and bone,
and each has five nails. The hind
legs are like the front ones, and have
knots on the middle Of them. Some
cows are red, some white, some black.
some yellow, and some pink. Cows
are very scarce-that is, our are
but l don't know about other PEG.
pies. They are MIXED every night
and morning. and we get a bucket
half full of milk from them"

Now THAT an Anarchist poet has
been singed by one of the bombs of
VIII CHI he is so fond Of chanting the
praises, perhaps the revolutionary
bards Of Paris will be a trifle more
prudent If there are rejecting men
among these apostles of violence, they
must now and then be struck by the
fact that the would-be vengeance
upon society of the Anarchist has
very often of late recalled upon him
self. How much further this may go
no one can tell until he retires; and
dread OF finding out something very
unpleasant may check bomb-thr wers
altogether. Up to date, taking con
victions and accidents into c nsidera-
tion the revolutionists have had very
poor success.

Work Una Reputation.

1t should be the aim of every farmer
who makes a specially of poultry pro-
ducts to work up a good reputation,
for such is invaluable. For instance
suppose a person wishes to acquire a
name for producing strictly fresh eggs.
Let him be sure his product is beyond
r~eproach, and then stamp each egg
with the name of the farm and a guar
antee as to quality. In a short time
dealers and consumers will learn to as
sociate the stamp with the highest ex.
cellence, and prices materially above
regular market rates will easily be OBJ
tanned. 1t pays to get individuality and
separate ones self from the rank and
file, il any business, and poultry-keep-
ing is no exception. There is plenty
of room at the top" and it is at the top
where the profit is found.-M. Sum"

WHO wants to buy a v lcano at
cheap rates? Two of the famous
Iceland volcanoes, Strokrutz and
Guysir, are offered for sale for the
comparatively trifing sum of $3.50.
The only present known use of vol
canoes is to put them up as curiosi-
ties and Il AXE a charge for seeing
them. The pop lation of Iceland is
decreasing and its people take little
interest in volcanoes. Besides the
Icclanders are educated people, and
familiar with the fate of Pompeii
and Herculaneum cities which CEN
turtles ago were destroyed by outpour-
ing of lava from a volcano. Proba.
bly, most Icelanders would be glad if
there were no volcanoes in their
island, though then it would perhaps
be several degrees colder than it is
now. If the owner of these vol
canoes could devise some means of
distributing their heat without dan.
ger, the volcanoes would have a
marketable value which apparently
nothing else is likely to give them.

PROVIDENCE continues to watch
over the express companies in the
most kindly fashion. The train that
the Dalton gang attempted to rob in
Oklahoma is said to have carried "a
large quantity OF money and valua-
bles." That is always the case when
the robbers are beaten of. On the
other.hand, when a successful robbery
is reported, we invariably receive the
gratifying intelligence that s'the
amount secured was insignificant"
Another proof of the interposit;on OF
providence is the fact that the rob-
bers always hold up the wrong train.
The train Immediately ahead or i'm
mediatelY behind the one robbed al.
ways carries great quantities of treas
ure, but the stupid and misguided
brigands invariably pitch upon an ex-
press a that contains moth ny but
canned oysters, theatrical advertis-
ing matter and an empty safe. Such,
at least, is the declaration of the ok.
press company officials who, of course,
always tell the truth about such mat
tiers. It is remarkable that under
these discouraging conditions the
train robbers don't get disguised and

could make more money peddling
shoestrings and wouldn't have to en-
danger their health by exposure to

The sunshine follows her.
She has not SCARED to Learning's heights,
Or sounded Wisdom's depths profound;
She only claims her woman's rights
Where tasks for tender hands abound:
Yet, though she shrinks from themes abstruse
Nor studies "ethics" overmuch,
The common things in daily use
Grow fairer at her touch.
Enjoying most where most she loves,
Sh9 has no great desire to roam,

He Showed Them How.

Capt J. r. Kenly, in his Memoirs
of a Maryland Volunteer" describes
with evident satisfaction a little
scene in the city of Jalapa during the
Mexico War. The United States
troopes were in garrison in The town.
Everything vas quite, and the inhab-
itants and the soldiers were on very
good terms.
It. was not uncommon, says Cap
tain kenly, to see an American
soldier mendiug his boots alongside
of a Mexican shoemaker, or a car.
penter in uniform working at the
same bench with a Mexican
Mechanic.
One day the captain noticed a
soldier looking with grea interest at
some native masons laying brick.
They were at work upon a platform
elevated perhaps a DO en- feet from
the ground, up to which a man was
carrying morton upon his head on a
square board instead of a bod.
The masons stood Immediately in
front of the wall they we're onstruct-
ing. placed each brick separately on
its bed, used a plumb-line, square etc,
to see that each brick was correctly
aligned, and occupied a much time
in laying half a dozen bricks as an
American mechanic would use in lay
ing a hundred.
"Captain," said the soldier. 'may !
90 up and show those men how to
work."
.Certainly, if you are a brick
layer"
He mounted the platform. one OF
the Mexicans gave him his trowel.
and he went to work, the MexicaEs
looking on with the greatest interest
and admiration. No doubt they
profited by the lesson.
