Protection for street Cars.

Some time ago a suggestion was
made in the line of utilizing some
thing in the nature of strong brushes
as street a protectors. In the orig
inal idea the brushes were SO arrang-
ed that they would gather up obsta-
cles and deposit them on q platform
provided for that purpose and attach
ed to the front of the car. A recent
invention utilities the street cleaning
brush in a similar way, except that
the obstacles are swept away from the
track instead of being gathered up and
taken care of. This idea has very lit
tie to recommend it, inasmuch as q
car in rapid motion might throw o
child, or an adult either, for the mat
ter Of that, directly under the feet OF
horses or the wheels Of wagons Ur
other cars. This danger might be
avoided by a ploper device.

Sealing I'm

Late in February the Newfoundland
sealing steamers break through the
ice in st. Johns harbor, and make
their way to soma northern outposts,
Tying there until March 10, the earliest
date OH which the law allows them to
go to the ice" They stand out to sea
until they meet the immense fields
of ice from the Arctic Ocean. These
fields are often mluy square miles in
extent, and fairly TEEN with seals.
a great seal hunter told ME thai the
sea seemed suddenly converted into
an ocean of seals and ice. The steam
er breaks into the jam and floats with
It or skirts along the edge, the crew,
200 or 300 in number, taking to the
floating ice and living there for days
and nights.
The young seals fatten so rapidly
that sealers say you al actually e
them grow while you are looking at
them. The poor creatures r easily
killed, q blow with the butt end of q
gaff finishing them. The hunter then
''sculps," OF skins them, inserting a
sharp knife under the tat, and with
marvellous dexterity taking off the
'pelt'-skin and fat together-in about
a minute and q half. A party of men
will 'pan". their pelts-pile them up
to the number of 1,OOO-and thrust a
gaff with the ships flag into the pan.
When there r pans enough, the
steamer breaks into the ice and hauls
them aboard with a donkey-winch; or
the men drag them to the VESSELS
side.
The Newfoundland seal-hunters al
ways speak of seals 8 ''swiles," and
for our word carry they say ''spel,."
A school-master who had been listen
Ing to a seal-hunter's story, said
snecringly:
"Swiles! How do you spell swiles?"
"We don't spell 'em." replied the
hunter; 1--WE most generally .hauls
'em!'-Gustav Kobbe in st. Nicholas.

A Preacher Dies in the Presence Of
His Congregation.
birmingham, Ala, April II. - The
Rev. ]. NJ. Jessup, an aged primitive
BAPTIST preacher. met death in a hor-
rible manner at Sandy Ridge, Ala.
While delivering his sermon he sud
denly fell to the floor in spasms and
died with his awe-stricken congrega-
ton about him. 1t afterward devel-
oped that he had taken a lot of strych-
nine, which he carried in his pocket
on bread crumbs to poison English
sparrows that infested his yard. He
was also in the habit of carrying
sugar in his pocket to clear his throat
for his sermon. He took the strych-
nine by mistake.

Feeding Molasses to stock.

Some years since Prof. Maercker
after a series Of extended experiments
concluded that the maximum of mo-
lasses to be fed per 1000 pounds live
weight and per diem was three to
four pounds for oxen and two and q
half pounds for milch cows. These
limits have frequently not been ad-
llered to, and many complications
have followed. OF late 1t is urged
THAT a special molasses fodder be
used; 1t consists, besides the resi-
dunn Of some absorbing medium.
In these compounds .molasse8 fire.
quently represents 60 per cent. of the
total. Experts now say, however,
that a far better proportion is to have
one Of molasses to one Of the other
substances, that is to say, SO per cent,
in weight Of the fodder Of whatever
elements it may consist.
Already on several European mar
kets a product Is sold for stock feed;
its composition is GO per cent, mo
lasses, 40 per cent. cocoa oil cake
containing 20 per cent. protein, 3 per
cent. fatty substances and 25 per cent.
sugar., which Is sold Tor q fraction
more than one cen per pound. An
other fodder is composed Of 20 per
cent cotton seed flour, 40 per cent.
palm nuts and 40 per cent molasses.
Several factories undertake their
own mixing and the substances OBJ
tanned contains IA per cent. protein. 3
per cent. fatty matter and so per cent
non-nitrogenous matter.
In every case the results by feed.
ing these rations to cattle have been
most satisfactory; the percentage has
Increased. Satisfactory results have
been obtained in fattening sheep with
a molassesration. 1t is important to
note that an astonishing success has
been obtained by adding to the water
given to cattle about two pounds mo-
lasses per diem and per head; they
seem to drink this with avidi,y, and
beneficial effects follow.-Sugar Beet.

He led innocent youths and beau

virtue, wrecking happiness, blast
ing character in untimely deaths
and dishonored graves. But even
then manyvictims escaped through
the powers of God, my enemy.
[ sent out Avarice, and in his
golden chains some were bound.
But men soon learned to hate him
for his meanness, and comparative
ly few fell by him.
The twin sons, Pestilence and
War, went forth, and Famine
strobe along behind them; but
these slew indiscriminately the old
and young, the good as we'll as the
bad, and heaven gained as many
accessions as hell.
In sadness my Satanic heart
mourned over the probable loss OF
my crown and kingdom, as [ con
templated the tremendous strides
which the gospel of Christ was
making in saving men from my
clutches. But when [ received
your welcome letter [ shouted til
