AN AID TO MILKING.
The Co,legian's Advice To His Father Which,

The coilegian's Advice to His Father which
Resulted Disastrously.
A college student in one of our west
ern states returned home after his course
was finished TO find that his father, a
Clergyman with small salary, was
elling out his living by running a small
farm. One Of the adjuncts of the farm
was a COW, pretty good animal. which
however, had q strong aversion to being
MIXED
Here was an opportunity for a display
of the lately acquired knowledge Of the
juvenile collegian.
Father, said he, Professor q. SAYS
if one will place weight upon a COW $
back it will make her give down the
milk.
The reverend gentleman, favorably
impressed with this information that
Lis son had learned from Professor q. i,
decided to try the simple remedy In
stead, however, OF placing a weight
upon the cows back, the clergyman
placed himself npon ii. But then he
answered the purpose. The COW, how
ever, was still obstinate.
Tie my legs under the cow" said
the father TO his son.
The son did so. But the cow. unused
to such unusual and arbitrary proceed
ings. manifested her dispieasures by
rearing and plunging, entirely uninind-
ful Of the dignity of the parsonage
astride her spinal column. IT was get
ting altogether too interesting for the
two l,DedS couc.rpa1 IN tho tr,,s,c

the rope by which he was attached to
the COW.
But the son, Being somewhat excited,

tened to the stanchiun. At once avail
ing herself of the liberty thus offered.
the COW took an uncefemonious exit
from the stable, and down through the
street she went. The minister accom-
panied the cow, but in manner not ex-
actly befitting the dignity Of his profess
sion.
As it happened. one of the sisters of
the congregation was on the street as
the race was III progress. Surprised at
such sight, the good sister cried ont,

His sense of the ludicrous coming TO
his aid, Brother V. shouted back: The
Lord and the COW only know. / don't,"
The clergyman was eventually rescued
from his awkward perch and never at
tempted the feat again.

DEAD MEMS FOOD,
Curious and Ancient Custom of the n
tives of yucatan.

A Curious and Ancient Custom of the Ma
tives of yucatan.
From remote times they have been
accustomed to make offerings to the
souls of the departed, particularly a
certain pie that they call food for the
soul" The crust must be of yellow
corn; the interior, tender chicken and
small pieces of pork. These pies are
wrapped in leaves of the banana tree
and baked underground between hot
stones. When done, they are placed
on the graves or hung from trees close
by. Sometimes, after leaving them
there for an hour or two, the living
take home the pies and enjoy them,
saying that the souls have already
dra wn from them all the ethereal part
of the substance.
When among the ruins in the ancient
city of Chichen liza, we happened to
be very hard pressed for food on All
Saints day, as on many other occasions.
and knowing that the feast of the
dead would be celebrate in a not
very distant village, we allowed some
of our men to GO there and take their
ShdhSc VI chJoN ing SoOu meal
In that they were most successful.
the natives being at all times exceed
ingly hospitable, and never failing to
invite those who approach their home
to partake of what they have. But the
men also thought of us. We had early
taken to our hammocks, rememb boring
the saying, 'Qui bort, dine" Che who
sleeps, eats. About two o'clock in the
morning we were aroused by man

He had waited there till II were asleep.
then made his way to the graveyard.
and gathered from tree a fine fruit in
the shape of large pie. This he
brought to US, wisely arguing that the
embodied needed it more than the dis
embodied. The dead mans food was
still wrapped in its banana leaf, and
we were not sorry to avail ourselves of
this chance to breakfast at two o'clock
in the morning. No tender chicken
was concealed within that particular
crust, only pigs foot with a few
stray bristles on 1T, and a most liberal
dose of red pepper. but hunger made it
eScellent.-Mrs- A. d. lie Plongeon, in

JOHANN STRAUSS.

cert hall In Hietzing He was sue.
cess from the start, abandoning the
bank for good and all, and has ever
since been recognized as the greatest
living writer of waltz music. On the
death of his father Johann incorpo-
rated his own band with that now left
without leader, and with the COM
bined organization made tour of the
leading European cities.
Strauss devoted himself for more than
a quarter of a century to the compost
ton Of dance music. His Opus 314 was
'On the Beautiful Blue Danube"
which is now . national Austrian pop
ular piece. According to the New York
Times it was originally written for
male chorus and orchestra, and it
paved the way for its composers en-
trance into the field Of operetta. It is
said that the direct impulse to the new
development of his ability was given
by his wife, Jetty Treffz, a famous
in 1863. She is credited with having
said: 'Ohfenbach's operas are nothing
but dance music. My husband writes
the best dance music in the world:
therefore he shall be the German Of
fenbach." In 1871 Johann Strauss pro-
duced at the Theater an der Wien his
Indigo und die Vierzig Rauber," his
first operetta. The Ebretto of this
work was not good, but the Viennese
found that their favorite dance music
was delightful when sung, and they
showed Strauss very plainly that they
would be glad to have some more of it.
The result was that Johann Strauss
became famous all over Europe and
America as an operetta composer.
Some of his works, such as ''Die Fled
ermaus." are provided with excellent
libretti. and the music is in the COM
poseE's best vein. In this country he
is known widely as the writer of THE
Merry War" The Queen's Lace Hand
kerchief," prince Methusalem" and
1.-The Gypsy Baron" He personally
visited this country in 1869. when ne
appeared at Gilmore's peace jubilee in
Boston, where his conducting of his
own music was one of the most agree
able fea t,.reS of The concerts
