HER GOLDEN HAIR, ETC.
The Sign That 'Caughs the Crowd" ln
Louisville,

Louisville.
One Saturday afternoon = great
crowd had gathered in front of win
dow on Fourth avenue, where q lady
had her hair on exhibition as an ad-
vertisement for patent hair fertilizer.
Her hair was long and beautiful, of
course. and many stopped to admire it.
OF course the terrible small bow had to
come along and get in his work. A
little newsboy had been watching the
crowd for some time, saying nothing
ut all. but one could see his eyes were
bubbling over with mischief. He dis
appeared for q short time and then
suddenly reappeared. Edging his way
through the crowd. he stuck piece of
red paper on the window, on which, in
big. black letters, appeared the legend:
''Her golden hair was hanging down
her back"
1t caught the crowd, and in the midst
of the general laughter the kid got
away. The girl in the window heard
the laughter, but could only see the
back of the card on the window, SO she
sent = clerk out to investigate. He
came, he saw. and he raised the deuce
with the laughing, gaping crowd, but
that didn't bother the crowd any.
Then he made frantic efforts to get the
card of the window, but it refused to
come. by this time the crowd Of
gazers had increased to thrice its size
and the clerk was very mad. He ac-
cused each and every person in the
crowd that ventured to laugh of put
ting the card ON the window. Some
Of the parties accused showed fight,
and then the clerk thought that pru-

retired to the store. A little later q

Fed ON Plum Pudding Twice Across the
Pacific.
Some months ago Capt. Mouse, of the
Alameda, was charged by stock-rais-
ing friend in Sydney to bring him over
an aristocratic pig to improve the
blood of the plcbian Australian swine.
The steamer captain found the pig and
brought him on boad the Alameda
two months ago. lie was a dainty lit
tie thing. with pink nose and con-
fiding way that won the hearts of the
passengers before the steamer had
crossed the bar. lie sque aled SO pa
thetically when the time for seasick-
ness came that the captain yielded to
the passengers intercession and took
him out of his box on the deck. They
tied blue ribbon around his neck and
presently the curl came back to his
dear little tail and he warmed his cold
pink little nose in the hand of the
prettiest . passenger in the cabin.
There was a baby ON board, but the
child did not get half the attention
that was bestowed on the dainty little
pig that squealed SO delightfully."- when
ever the rolling of the vessel tum-
bled him of his doubtful little legs.
On the third dsv out they had plum
duff for dinner on the steamer and
seven women and four men surrepti-
tiously slipped the pudding from their
plates into their napkins and stole
away from the table. They met at the
little pigs box and began to feed the
sweetmeat to the infant porker. An
alarmed cry checked the feeding.

shrieked = mother. "Plum pudding.
and he only three weeks old!"
She had some soft bread soaked in
sweet milk, but that willful pig hardly
noticed it. After that there was .
regular procession from the cabin table
to the box on deck. No women and
few men left that table without some
thing for the little pig. The mother
waited gloomily for the fullfllment Of
her dire prophecy. while the pig got

him. On the tenth day out the door

Winter DAiryinG.

Winter dairying is neglect "A in
dustry in the south. At the very time
when butter is in good demand snd
good prices prevail, is the time when
the farmer and dairyman in the south
slackens his efforts and impoverishes
his purse. Why is this? Simply be-
cause he has not prepared for that part
of his business. He let's his cows come
in whenever it suits their sense Of pro-
priety, and he has not provided the
necessary comforts and sustenancc to
keep up the flow of milk. And in some
cases, it may be that he does not know
the why's and wherefores of winter
dairying. Some of our dairymen. 1t is
true, have learned this secret of suc-
cess, and are pushing it. But they Are
merely an influential minority.-Farp

and reminiscent of feudal times. -Four
judges are also in attendance in case

practically NO dress at all. Beyond =

in their makeup, to insure rustling
qualities. The condition of the stock

this. When the storm was over trip

breeds, have been selected for breed

An Old Notion Exploded.

The old notion that certain seeds or
plants must be put in the ground ac-
cording to the phase of the moon, or
her place in the Zodiac, costs this
country several millions of dollars
every year. 1t often happens that the
moon. the seasons rain and the
preparation of the soil can not all be
had according to requirements at the
same time, and hence the crop It.ust
suffer. IL is the sun, the rain and the
work that makes the crop, and the
sooner and more scompletely the lunar
theory is abandoned, the better for the
farmer and gardener.
