BEDDING for live stock.

proper cleanliness by making the
stock comfortable there is gain in
the cost of feeding, as less food is
required when the animals have
comfortable quarters. The proper
use Of bedding also aids in keeping
the animals clean, and cleanliness
promotes health.
With the hogs the bedding should
be changed every week or ten days,
in order to prevent its becoming too
foul. It is as important that hogs
should have a clean, dry bed to
sleep in as for them to have a clean
floor to eat on.
In order to have plenty of bed
ding during the Winter it will be.
best to store quantity under shell
ter, where it can be had when need
ed. Sleeping in wet bed is very
injurious to the health and thrift of
the pigs Care must always be taken
to give pigs SO much bedding that
they can bury themselves under it
in Winter, as they will do if given
the opportunity. Once under a pile
of bedding, it is sometimes difficult
to rout them out, even for their feed.
Sheep need to be dry under foot
as we'll as overhead. Standing or
sleeping on a wet floor materially
increases the. chances of disease.
Plenty of bedding will aid, not only
in keeping them dry, but also in
keeping them clean. Besides, dry
bedding makes the quarters warmer
and more comfortable for the sheep
For horses, cattle and sheep
enough bedding should be supplied
to absorb all of the liquid weddings,
and in this way increase the quality
and quantity of the manure and
secure proper cleanliness. A good
plan with horses and cattle is to
spread the bedding carefully around
and under the animals at night,
after the feeding is done, and then
gather up in the morning all that
is not soiled. While it is always
best to make and save all the ma
nure possible, it is not good economy
to haul out bedding for manure.
The best plan of managing the ma
nure is to gather up and load it
directly into q wagon, haul out and
scatter in the field where needed.
When there are a number of ami
mails kept, it will be good plan to
keep a wagon convenient to the sta
bic and as fast as the manure is
gathered up throw it into the wagon
and when load is made up haul it
to the fields and scatter it out. In
this way the work of handling will
be lessened and the quarters be kept
cleaner. Wheat straw is one of the
very best materials for bedding. If
corn stolks can first be run through
a cutting-box they make a good
material, but should never be used
whole in the stables or sheds. Forest
leaves are good; in fact, there are
few materials that are better, and
they are valuable as fertilizer
after being decomposed. Bagasse
from a sorghum mill can be used.
In fact any kind of material that is
dry and clean is a good absorbent
and promotes warmth.

A Thief's Clever Ruse.

A man, wearing a large cape coat en-
tered London store when the proprie-
tor was alone, and asked to be shown
some ladies' cloaks, as he wished to give
his wife a little surprise. After care
full inspection, he fixed upon one, and
asked the shopkeeper if he had a young
lady at hand, to put on the cloak to see
how it looked. The proprietor re-
gretted,that none of the ladies of the
establishment were in at that moment.
''Well," said the man, perhaps you
wouldn't object to putting it on your
self?" The unsuspecting shopkeeper
slipped on the cloak, buttoned it, and
tured round in all directions Mag
nifcentr exclaimed the purchaser,
with seeming ecstasy. But at the same
time he grabbed the till, which he hid
under his cape, and bolted out of the
store. The Mortified proprietor rushed
after him into the street, where, how
ever, he was seized by the passers-by,
who dragged him back into his store in
the supposition that the poor fellow
had gone mad, and before he could ex-
plain matters the rogue had disap-
peared.

FOUGHT UNDER WATER.
A Mink Drowned While Killing Musk
rat in an Adirondack Pool.

Mink Drowned While killing Musk
rat in an adirondack Pool
The muddled water of a half-frozen
cove down CT the fats told that some
thing unusual had happened not long
before. Palmer yet was the tale when
a stitching furred body rose to the sur
face Of the little open space of water
Under the fringe of nearly frozen ice
a dark spot showed plainly to a wood
mans eye that a fight had occurred in
the water, and a closer inspection
demonstrated that it had been a fight
for food and a fight for life.
A hungry mink had come that way
along string of coves looking for
something to eat. The mice We're shy,
and he could not catch them. Of fish
there were none, but lone muskrat,
diving for roots and after minute be-
meath the waters surface rising again,
offered a prey at once a fighter and of
goodly taste. A mink likes to kill a
fighter. He will go a long way from
brooks, upon hill and even mountain
tops, looking for one, woodsmen say.
He tackles martens or weasels, and is
especially fond of big muskrat.
The mink crouched on the edge of
the ice moment; then, as the mushrat
rose, he sprang for his prey. The musk
rat quickly threw up his head and
caught the mink by paw. The mink
got hold of the muskrat's neck, skin
hold only. They rolled and kicked the
water high in the air, throwing it ten
feet away into the snow. The mink
could have killed the muslzrat had they
been in the snow or on the ground, but
in the water the muslzrat was too pow
erful. At last they dived, and above
them the water boiled and grew yellow
with mud.
Under water the mink was as badly
off as at the surface. At last the
mink's breath gave out, and, letting go,
he tried to rise, but the muskrat would
not release his hold on the mink's leg.
So at last the mink, after much strug-
Cling, died. But his hold on the musk
rats throat, though at first only a skin
hold, had later. been forced back, and
the big vein had been cut. The mink
rose to the surface, and the muskrat
tried to swim away, but died, and rose
as the other had done.

The Soko Ape.

Letters from the African traveller,
Oscar Neumann, at Bukoba, says the
London News, contains many interest
ing things that Neumann learnt from
the Manyemas. One is that the Soko
ape is very common and much feared
in Manyamaland, between Nyangwe
and the northern shore of the Tang
anyika. Some time ago an Arab
wanted to take Soko which he had
captured to the coast. He succeeded
in reaching Ugogo with his prize.
There he died, and his sons, who
attributed the death of their father
to the enshantments of the wicked
wood demon, FASTENED to retransport
the supposed origin Of their misfortune
to its native place. and the interesting
specimen was thus lost to science.

WOMEN MAKE POOR SPIES.
a Secret-Service Man Says the Fair Sex
Do Not Succeed as Detectives.

a Secret-Service Man Says the Fair Sex
Do Not Succeed as Detectives.
Women are not good detectives,
said an experienced secret service man,
on being asked his opinion by a New
York Herald man. To begin with,
there are many places to which wom-
an cannot go without exciting suspicion
and this defeats her object at the out
set, but beyond this woman is untitled
by nature for detective work.
In the first place, she jumps at a
conclusion and acts on it in opposition
to all human probabilities, possibilities
and reason. AS rule, woman does
not reason. She looks on thing as she
wants it to be or thinks it ought to be
and will follow that theory. She is led
by prejudices, favors OF sympathies, re
gardless of facts.
''As a detective she is sometimes a
success in entrapping a man, but her
work generallyends in a blunder which
betrays her. She is persevering only
when moved by passion. She does not
look at a case dispassionhtely. She at
once decides that he or she is guilty o.
innocent and works on that theory.
"a woman enjoys the mysterious, and
she is so elated at her position as
detective that she is unable to conceal
her identity, or the secret investigation
of case.
Women are even failures in running
down criminals of their own sex. A
woman criminal will mislead a woman
detective by working on her vanity
credulity or sympathy, and, worst of all
if the detective be attractive and the
man criminal handsome-well,a man is
better for detective work, and, besides
a woman will sell cut case and cheap
ly at that, relying upon her sex to es
cape punishment if-deteeted.

THE SEVEN STARS.
A Strange Superstition of the Ancien
Egyptians.


A Strange Superstition of the Ancient
Egyptians.
In ancient Egypt the body of Osiris
was always sealed up in the ark dur
ing the month of November, because
the people believed that the seven stars
were seven brothers sailing their ships
across the sky and CARRYING with them
the souls of the dead. The people of
ancient Gaul believed that the angels
and the souls of great men held a
celestial festival on that particular
night in November, when both the full
moon and the seven stars were on the
meridian at the same hour The Hot
tentots of South Africa and the Abb
pones of South America each claim that
the seven stars are their deceased ia
theirs and grandfathers. Cakes says:
Certain tribes in both Africa and
South America hold that the seven
stars is (arc) their father (fathers), and
welcome their return with festivities
and much rejoicing" The ancient
Mexicans always sacrificed a human
being and kindled a sacred fire Cmade
of seven frebrands) on his back when
the seven stars and the moon were on
a certain meridian together. The Pc
ruvians also had seven stars cere-
monies, but without sacrifice, at about
the time the Mexicans were carrying
on their paganistic rites. The ancient
Druids believed the seven stars to be
boats, which carried souls to the judg-
ment seat of the god of the dead"

in the whole world i'll 1898 was

Thus the annual production Of
silver has quadrupled since
1870, not only in the United

the nations Of Europe have
closed their minis to the coin
age of silver. Germany, taking
advantage Of the Immense
amount of gold paid to her by
France as a war indemnity,
started to demonetize silver and
and stop its coinage by the act
Of 1871, and completed the work

Europe followed in rapid sue

to close her minis to the coin
age of silver in 1898.

by the passage of a free and

the rehabilitation of silver and
