Many farmers are in the habit of
giving their cows hot water for their
drink in cold weather, claiming that
they yield one-third more mix than
when given cold water. Care should
be taken not to give the water SO hot
as TO burn the cows throats.

~ OF the Thunder God.

Trembling Mountain" a massive
pile of peculiarly arranged rocks, lying
on Rogue river, almost directly north
of Montreal, Can, was known to the
Indian by combination of words sig
nifying ''seat of the thunder god. |"
According to their traditions, the thun-
der god formerly used broad and deep
indentation ON its summit as seat,
and therein he would sit for three
days in spring, seven in summer, Eve in
autumn and two in winter. They also
believed that during the time he was
present great chasms would open in the
side of the mountain, from which fire
would stream for hours without .ceas-
ing. Nothing Is known concerning tho
early history of the mountain, but it Is
thought that the legend refers to old
time volcanic action, an opinion
strengthened by it's geographical name

SELLING A GOOD THING.
1t Is Not as Easy as Some People
Might Imagine.

DO you think you can sell asgood
thing for its value?" asked the major,
as the crowd were sitting in promi-
ment cafe. IF you do, you are away
off yonder, and I'll tell you why say
so. / went out to Leadville in the
days when its boom was booming.
By good luck got hold of some eight
or ten pieces of mining property
right IN the best portion of the
camp. Money was needed to develop
the property, and / came east and
organized company, The company
was composed of the very best men in
certain town. The company issued
stock and sentme out to sell it. Gt,e
"But it was almost impossible to
sell it. Leaving Pittsburgh one
night for Philadelphia to try to make
sale of some of the stock, met on
the train member of a wholesale
firm that l had known for years. We
went to the smoking car to enjoy a
cigar, and there I incidentally told
him what my object was for return
ing to the east. He remarked at once:
If your stock is all right you can
sell it,.
" Well, l replied, you can't al
ways sell good thing, and I'll prove
it right now. You see those two
men sitting in the front of the car
across the aisle. Well, here's good
five dollar bill. I'll bet you ten dol
lars that yon can't go over there and
sell it to either of them for ais much
as two dollars
He took the bet, and after he had
made the trial took his money. He
came near taking licking, too, from
the men. He tried all his arts of
persuasion, but he couldn't get them
to even take the bill in their hands.
They thought it was some kind of a
bunco game, and he couldn't have
gotten either of them to take it as
gift. No, indeed, you can't always
sell good thing for it's value"

Woman in Germany.

~.
Among the recent significant
events in Berlin was the lecture by
Pastor Kirmsz of the Neue Kirche
on the attitude of Christianity to-
ward the woman question before the
Framework, society of progressive
women. His lecture was worthy of
notice for the reason that it is the
first time that minister in Ger
many has lifted up his voice to say a
word in favor OF the freedom Of
women.
Pastor Kirmsz is a young, over
worked man, only little past thirty,
who has charge of a large parish
wherein he is much beloved and yet
finds time to interest himself in such
unpopular subjects as the woman
question. His address WAS unusual,
coming from man who belongs to a
nation which appears to cast an al
most solid vote for the subsection OF
women. About four hundred wom-
en- assembled in the hall on Lutzow
strasse to hear him. The women in
Germany are beginning to awaken
and at least one man among the
clergy has declared himself their
champion.

Do Your Arms siatchq

About fifty men out of one hundred
have the right arm stronger than the
left; sixteen have equal strength In
both arms, and nearly thirty-four have
the left arm the stronger than the
right These proportions are more
evenly distributed In women. Nearly
forty-seven per cent are stronger in
the right arm, and about twenty-five
are stronger In the left, while twenty
eight have arms of equal strength. In
the case Of the lower limbs, taking men
and women indifferently, 1t has been
found that out of fifty subjects twenty
three had the Left leg more developed.
six showed the reverse, four more
showed both the right limbs more de-
veloped, while In seventeen all the
limbs were more OF less unequal. The
strength OF the whole body, as Illus
trated by lifting power, Is about two to
ono In favor Of men.

MRS. RuoYARo KIPLINo.
The American Wife of the Famous
English Writer.


Mrs. Rudyard Kipling is slender
little woman, with soft brown eyes,
dark hair and very sweet express
sion. She is not "a new woman, !"
and does not care for any society
except that of her household, and
she and her husband are so congenial
In tastes and ideas that they live all
the year around in little farmhouse
fifteen miles from Bratrleboro, VT,
and never even think of being bored.
It seems curious that such bitter
American hater as Kipling should
have an American wife and home
in the heart of Yankeedom, but he
seems perfectly contented with both.
Mrs. Kipling was Miss Carolyn
Balestier, with whose brother, the
late Walcott Balestier, Mr. Kipling
elaborated for several years. The
third member of the family is Miss
Josephine Kipling, who was two
years old last New Years day, and
from the stories one hears of her
must be as precocious as that typical
American child whom Papa Kipling
hates. 1t is said that Miss Josephine
recently declared in bitterness Of
heart:
''Boo-hoo! My papa tells lots of
stories and gets money for 'em, and
/ tell one little weeny story and get
spanked Boo-hooP'
We can imagine Kipling laying
down the pen to administer the
slipper.-N. Y. Commercial Adver.

Friends Were Too Friendly.

John G. Whittier was greatly
loved by strangers, who not only
called on him, but thriftily insisted
on putting up with him all night.
"Thee has no idea, said his sister,

trying to lose these people in the
streets. Sometimes he comes home
end says: We'll, sister, had hard
work to lose him, but have lost
him. But / can never lose her.

CRADLE OF INDIAN BABIES.
Queer Sacks In Which Papooses Are
Nursed and Transported.

When you go through an Indian camp
you can see red and green sacks stand
ing against the sides of the tepees car.
ried on the backs of little girls by means
OF blanket which is fastened at the
waist with broad leather belt, or be-
ing rocked to and fro by the wind in
the boughs of cottonwood trees
Sometimes, if the camp is going on a
long journey in search of game or for
water or to escape a war party, two of
these stacks are fastened together by
stout straps and swung over the back
of pony, one dangling on each side,
Like the baskets on a pack mule. But
as rule the horses are left for the men
and boys to ride, and the papooses
are either carried by the girls or packed
away on a ''travoise," which is the only
wagon the Indians have, and you will
think 1t very poor kind of wagon
when you hear how 1t is made. -H.
The larger ''travoises" are made of
two cottonwood branches and the
smaller ones of stout willow sticks.
The two poles are crossed about quar-
ter of the distance from the small ends
and held in place with strong cords of
buffalo sinew; foot or so below the
joining a mat is fastened, reaching
from one pole to the other and firm
enough to carry heavy burdens. The
frame Of the mat is one long willow
twig, which has to be soaked and twist
ed in shape while wet, and the mat is
just amesh of simply woven leathern
straps. ,t
1t is strange sight to see camp
packed and ready to take up the line Of
march. One by one in single file they
start away--the men and boys over
fifteen on horseback leading the way;
then the women and dogs dragging the
'travoises," and, last of all, girls with
papooses on their backs, and little
half-naked boys running along in jog
trot, breaking line every now and then
to throw their balls or rob birds nest
half hidden in the thick prairie grass.

Stories about Worth are now il
order, and many an old chestnut d
! his process as business man az
well as an artist will be revived.
Americans have suffered much al
his hand in point OF stalk" and ex-
tortion, but the majority have ever
protested to be perfectly content as
long as the Worth cachet was affixed
to the inside belt of their gown.
Mrs. Potter stood in Worth's best
books. He has said in print that he
would rather dress her than any
American woman who ever came to
his atelier in the Rue de la Paix.
No dress ever left his shop costing
less than two hundred dollars. One
of the Worth stories that received
credence few years ago in the
American colony was to the effect
that a certain rich person went to
him with guam tity of almost price
less lace to be used on a gown she
desired to wear at grand wedding.
The dress came horne in due season,
and then the lady observed change
in the disposition of the lace that by
no means pleased her. She could
scarcely believe her own senses, and
called in q friend who accompanied
her at its final trying on, and left 1t
to her if the lace did not seem scant
and quite different from it's original
arrangement. Assuredly. What
could be the matter2 In all haste
the two women rushed off to inter-
view the great man, only to be told
he preferred the trimming as il was,
and should not alter It'll but had
more lace than you have put on, Mr..
WORTH exclaimed the owner.
"There were five" "Madamel"
interrupted the autocrat, lis not
the dress beautiful" And that was
all the satisfaction the lady ever re-
ceived. She threatened to go to law,
but was deferred by the advice of
friends who knew the dangers of in
voking French justice where ques-
ton of making was concerned.
Mr.. Worth protested to have un-
bounded love for antique iaces, and
it is surmised this passion some
times got the better of him. Boston

LANGUAGE OF FISHES.


\ such Thing.
We have heard OF the LANGUAGE OF
monkeys, and of the language Of hens,
and of the language of crows, and even
OF ants; but it viii be new idea to
most people, probably, that fishes have
a language Of their own. An English
fisherman, Mr.. Basil Field, has been
making some investigations which lead
him to suppose that fishes have some
way of communicating notion of their
experiences to other fishes.
| Mr.. Field carried on his experiments,
which he has described in an article in
the Fortnightly Review, in the fish
ponds of Mr.. Andrew, at Guildford.
England. Those ponds are full of trout,
which, at the time when Mr.. Field first
visited them, were so little accustomed
to being troubled that when he threw
baited hook into the water all the
trout in sight--a great number-rushed
eagerly upon it.
He caught one, and removing it from
the hook, threw it back into the pond.
Then he put in a freshly baited hook.
Two or three trout only came after it.
One OF these he caught, and threw it
back into the water. Again he re-
sumed his fishing with newly baited
hook, and this time, although the pond
was swarming with fish, it was only
after a long time that he lured another
trout to.his bait. And after little
further time it was entirely impossible
to catch trout in this pond.
However, by experimenting in another
pond equally well stocked, and not
throwing back any fish, Mr.. Field found
that he could catch trout as long as he
chose. The fish did not seem to under
stand that the removal of one of their
number by this strange means meant
danger to them, but came continually
to the bait.
If, Mr. Field reasons, it is only when
the captured fish, released, goes back
and mingles with his fellows that the
danger is learned and then is learned
instantly, it must follow that the re-
leased fish has some means of making
the others understand the perils of the
hook. This, whatever it is, may be
called Language"

POTTER PALMER'S PORTER.
Why There Are No More Tips
for Carrying Trunks.
Tho Story OF the Chicago MiIIionaire's
Venture with a Trotting HOrse--He
fs Not So Successful rs He
rta Anticipated.

This Is the narrative OF Potte
Palmer and his chief porter, as toll
IN a Chicago paper:
Mr.. Palmer has what he consider
an educated taste in horsehesh. HI
thinks he knows trotter when ht
sees him, and has little doubt of hi:
ability to Judge of the aforesaid trot
ter when he sits behind him with
ribbons in his hands.
Mr.. Palmer some time ago bought
@ horse with an alleged ability to
do mile in ESQ, that struck him as
being extremely desirable. He paid
agood deal of money for the animal
and he was filed with delight when
he thought of the easy and brash
manner in which he would pass the
various turnouts on the Lake Shore
drive.
He asked Mrs. Palmer to come out
with him TO try the new horse, and,
having nothing better to do, Mrs.
Palmer consented. The wagon was
,yoked up and the driver attached.
r.One by one the speedy horses of
the neighboring Armours and Trees
and Healys were passed, and Mr..
Palmer was just beginning to re-
ioice in his purchase when there
lame behind him the clatter and rat
tie OF badly-constructed village
cart.
I'VE will have to have one more
run, my DEAR" said Potter Palmer.
"Just this once, love-" said Mrs.
Potter Palmer.
The Gathering came nearer and
nearer and nearer, and then presenter
and presenter, and at last PASSENGER
and PASSENGER, until it faded away
in the distance far beyond anything
Potter Palmer and his new horse
could do, but as the vehicle went by
Mr., Palmer recognized the driver.
1t was his own head porterl The
man who had thus brought him to
open shame was the person who told
the slaveys how to pile the trunks
around in the Palmer house.
He said nothing just then, but
like the parrot in the story be
thought heap Mrs. Palmer made
such conversation as there was held
the est of the trip, and Mr.. Palmer
got back to the hotel as soon as pos
sible.
"How much does that head porter
get month";" he demanded.
FIFTY dollars" replied the man
ager.
''How can he buy trotting stock
on fifty dollars month";" demanded
Dir. Palmer.
"Ohl you forget his fees"
s"What fees?"
"Why, his tips-the money people
give the head porter when their lug
gage is brought for them"
Hereafter, said Mr.. Palmer, mo
porter is to be permitted to collect
fees. You see that he does what he
Is paid to do for what he is paid for
It. And, by the way, find out what
