CUPID,S CATCH.

''There goes a maid" said Dan to me,
"Who has the smokers heart
what, she?' l cried, for candidly
The statement made me start;
For she of whom he'd spoken so,
That dreary autumn day,
Was she who'd promised, you must
know,
Through life to walk my way.
"'Tis false" l cried. II know her
we'll
The gods be praised that she
Is not the style Of modern belle.
Who's New and rather free.
"You must be wrong, dear Dan,'' sad I.
I'm sure she does not smoke"
He laughed and winked his, little eye,
And said, That's just the joke.
"She does not smoke, but you, you do
I think I'm very smart
To say, since you re avsmoker true,
She has the smokers heart"'

Washington Star.
Little three-year-old Mabel, who lives
ON M street northwest, is very pre-
cocious, a fact Of which the mother
is unusually proud, but a few days ago
she showed evidences of it that were
not appreciated.
The child had been dressed in a slip
and very little else, that she might
play in the back yard.
Several fashionable ladies and the
husband of one of them called to dis
cuss a charitable enterprise with the
mother. Suddenly Mabel ran into the
parlor.
"You dirty child" exclaimed the
mother, "go right up stairs and have
nurse take off that dress"
She obeyed, and in a few minutes
returned clad in childish innocence,
without much other adornment, and
explained:
Mamma, I couldn' fin nursey, but 1
dest got it off my own se'f."
The child is wondering yet how she
came to be so unceremoniously carried
up stairs and locked in a room.

The latest importations of costumes
show gowns, coats, hats and muffs to
match, or rather harmonic, for. all
dressy gowns are made of a combina-
ton of materials; with some contrast as t
of color. The coat of cloth matches the
plain skirt, is fitted closely to the fig

fur revers and velvet collar edged
with fur The round waist of the
gown is of fancy velvet in some light
color, and the hat and muff, of plain
dark velvet, the same shade, have
fur trimming.
Muffs of velvet to match the hat
are very fashionable with any cos
tune, and they are made round or
fat, as you choose, but quite large.
The fiat ones, with wide dropping ruff

prettiest; others are shaped like a but

THE FATHER AND THE CHILD.

Inspired by holy zeal to save
His fellowlkind from Deaths eternal
sting,
The father, like a soldier true and
brave,
Forsook his pleading child to serve
his King.
Through bitter storms he labored at
his post,
Tho oft despairing of the promised
goal,
Until, amid the untamed pagan host,
He gained for God a single willing
soul.
To heavens gate he brought the saw
age wild,
And counted then his mission done
full well;
When, hasting to regain his absent
child,
He found him scoffing on the brink of
hell.

CLAUS COMPANY UNLIMITED
A SUGGESTION.

These days of corporations 1t would
truly seem to be
A splendid plan If Santa Claus would
! look about and see
If he could not incorporate himself and
His usefulness to cover every corner
2 of the land.
i've noticed, as I've looked about on
i. Christmas days gone by,
Asfot of little children who have failed
| ii to catch his eye,
Who when the Yule was at its height
K had not single toy
orr bit of peppermint to fill their little
* souls with joy.
And there have been some persons who
X have Ventured to remark
Of credence in his being they had not
the slightest spark,
For had there been a person of his
! s kind twas very sure,
There'd be some signs of presents IN
the novels of the poor.
Which Is a point he'll have to meet,
with many of that sort
If ever he shall find himself haled up
before the court.
But /, who'Ve always found him most
attentive unto me,
Am certain that he does exist and
works most faithfully.
But certain too am 1 that in these
ChristmaseS of late
He's found his work, unaided, for his
strength by far too great:
And hence 1 think that he'd do well to
form a company,
And everywhere throughout the land
to place an agency.
And all who love him for his labors in
the days now past
Can put their names down in his books
the stock should go right fast.
1t doesn't seem that it could meet with
failure, just because
They must be few who would not take
stock in old Santa Claus.

Cost of Keeping a Dairy.

The following is an extract of an ar
ticle from the Agricultural Student of
the Ohio State university:
The following is the summary of the
receipts and expenditures of the uni
versity dairy for the year ending Dec.
81, 1894:
Pounds of milk produced ..... 100, 554. 90
Receipts for milk ................ $3,S42. Is
Cost Of food ...................... 9S3. 76
Cost of labor OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. 1885. "A
Total expenditures ............ $2,579. 20
Net gain ................:.;... 81, ,268.55
There was an average of about twen-
ty-six cows actually in milk in the
dairy during the year. AS cows are
bought and sold, not the same twenty
six cows were in the herd throughout
the year. There are generally, also,
three or four dry cows in the herd.
From the summary 1t will be seen
in milk, 6,175 pounds of milk were given
per cow The cost of food per COW was
$S7 SO, and the cost of labor was SCI. SO,
making the total expense per COW in
milk nearly $100. The labor, however,
inclueded considerable amount of eX-
taking care of dry cows, heifers, calves
and bulls. 1t, also, includes the cost of
retailing the milk. The cost for food
only relates to the cows in milk.
Assuming Sc pounds per gallon of
milk, the cost of food per gallon of
milk is SIC, the cost of labor per gallon
Of milk S.5c, while the average price re-
ceived for milk on this basis was 205c.
1t will be seen that the average cost
of a gallon of milk retailed to con-
sumers was 1910. The real cost, how
ever, is somewhat greater than this,
because more than Sc pounds are re-
quired for a gallon of milk when ped
died to the consumers.
1t is worthy of notice that the work
was all done by students, for which.
it will be seen, they received, $3.50. "A.
The gross income from each cow ac-
tually in milk was S147.s0, the expense
$99 10, leaving a net income per COW of
S4861. or for the herd of twentysiX
cows, net gain Of $1,26S.55.

Care of Far.s, Machinery.

Rural Mechanics.
In caring for anything of this kind
it is not enough that protection from
the sun or rain be afforded. If 1t be
machinery having belts they should be
taken off to prevent undue stretching,
and if leather they should be treated to
an application of belt or harness grease,
Tallow and neatS-foot oil, in equal
parts: make a good preservation for
leather. Rubber betting only requires
should not be treated as leather, but in
stead it may be rendered more efficient
by a, slight application of castor oil on
the side next the pulley. Linseed oil
will also answer, but the first-named is
preferable.
When iron work in a machine con-
tains bright parts, these may be pro-
tected by a coating of heavy oil, or a
mixture of tallow and white lead. If a
steam engine, the cylinder head should
clean and dry, and then coated with
heavy oil. The slide valve and seat
should be treated in the same way.
With machines that are constructed
either wholly! or in part of wood, more
or less shrinkage is sure to occur in
time. Journal boxes and joints are
thus loosened, and as a result, when,
after standing for some time, such a
machine is started without Tightening
these parts, shafts are damaged, jour-
nails become heated, gearing works
badly, and general disorder prevails.
This is notably the case with the
horse power which is used so much for
farm purposes. The running parts OF
this machine being composed largely of
bevel gearing is very susceptible to in
jury or breakage. 1t Is hardly neces-
sary to emphasize this, for all who
have had anything to do with wheels
of this kind know how difficult it is to
keep the gears in proper alignment.

Stock and Farming.
Farm. Stock and Home.

farnl, SUCK ana Home.
Talk and figure as we will, the fact
remains that the most prosperous ag-
ricultural countries are those where
stock husbandry is most largely fol-
lowed. The cause of this is one funda-
mental principle, that it is better to
sell the products of the farm in the most
condensed and high-priced form posi-
BILE. If the price of four pounds of
grain can be obtained for one pound of
meat, wool, butter or eggs it is the best
policy to sell it in that form; first, for
the fertility it leaves on the farm
second, for the reduced cost of hand
ling, freighting, etc. There are years.
like the present, when the subject of
stock husbandry seems withered sar-
casm, when it seems like working only
for combines and transportation COM
panies, but in a choice of evils it is,
after all, the best and such a choice is
about all there IS left. If stock hus-
bandry is advisable when its prices and
that of feeding stuffs are high, it is
certainly advisable when stock prices
are low and food prices still lower.
But to close as we begun. those coun-
tries, those states where stock feeding
is most largely and intelligently done
are and will be in the most satisfac-
tory condition.

When You Say the Demonstration Of
Gold Would Benefit West

LONDON, Feb. 2-The London StStist,
the leading financial paper OF the king
dom, in it's editorial TO- day, made state
ments that are remarkable for admitting
the truth Of argument used by the free
silver advocates of the United States.
It says:
president Clevelsnd's message sp-
pears to be wise and statesmSnlike. AS
the law stands it is quite clear that q
large sum should not be borrowed in
Europe az there is doubt respecting the
presidents ability to contract to pay
gold. This would bs fatal to any pro-
jscted loan. Money can always be had
at prices, but the government Of the
United States cannot act ss il it were
bankrupt. Its credit would stand Rs
high Rs any country in the world, il
congress would only do it's duty. II the
present congress does not act it is feared
it will be too late to appeal to the new
O onRreas, for before it can be called to
gether a crisis will probably have oc.
Cured. lis a question whether under
the existing conditions the president
can even borrow ct home. The banks,
in order to avert a panic, may furnish
him with gold, but even then it is quss-
tionsble when doubt exists about pay
ment in gold, enough gold San be got
In any case, more borrowing will not
avail, as the experience Of the past year
has shown that sooner or later there
must be contraction Of the currency or
there will be panic.
"The Statist proceeds TO discuss the
consequence in the evert, firstly, OF gold
being demonstizsd; secondly, no legiSla-
tion whatever being arrived at; thirdly,
the effect of the free coinage Of silver.
Then the Statist remarks il gold ia do

ths gold premium higher still, the pre-
MUM would not be very high, and the
reduction Of the debt, and the loss to

Summing up this review OF the fnsn-
oisl possibilities the Ststist represents
the West and South as being perfectly
right in the view that q change OF the
present system would bent tii their sec
tions OF the Union. The sffsct of the
change they advocate would be a ten
dsncy to transfer property by wholesale
from the East and Europe to the West
and South. In fact, it would be form
OF repudiRtion aud it would lower the
credit Of the United States and prevent
the free influx Of European capital.

talists will always insist upon the gold

tract that they will be repaid in gold.
ain the event Of gold demonetizAtlon,
matters will righG themselves in the
long run, but the run might be very
long; and another point is that a great
transfer OF property would not act uni
iormly. Debts falling due soon after
the change would be immensely re-
duced, whereas, debts falling due later,
when silver has risen, would bs less re-
ducsd, and IL silver reached go pence
there would be no reduction debts what
