A COOn's Memory.

A coon may not be a very communl-
:ative animal, but his receptive and
retaining faculties are excellent At
one Of the Grand Island resorts a
young representative of the species
occupies a limb of q tree before the
hotel. One day, early in the spring,
while the ice was going down the riv-
er in cakes an acre wide, a youth un-
tied the coon and threw him into the
cold water The coon swan to the
shore, but since that time his tormen-
tor has not approached him without
fight. The coon snarls and bites and
:grits his teeth, and in other character
istic ways gives vent to the feeling
that is within him. Occasionally,
when very hungry, he will eat from a
dish held to his perch by his enemy,
but when his hunger has been ap-
peased one of his long hands is sure
to start at lightning pace for the fill

bread and milk.-Buffalo Courier.

Migrating Rock Crystals.

Migrating Rock Crystals.
It has long been assumed that of
two igneous rocks in contact that con-
tanning crystals peculiar to the other
was necessarily younger than the lat
ter. Cole, however, shows that crys-
tails may be foated away in pre-ex-
listing rock of a low degree of fusibil-
ity from one of niger degree which
has intruded on it. At Glasdrumman
Port, County Down, Ireland, dixie or
eurite is hanked on both sides by
dikes Of basaltic andesite, of which
the. andesites are unquestionably the
older rocks, since the eurite on it's con-
tact with them incloses fragments torn
from their sides. The eurite contains
porphyritic crystals Of pink orthoclase,
while the andesite is normally devoid
Of them. Near it's contact with the
former rock, however, crystals exactly
like those in the eurite are occasional
ly found in the andesite. Crystals of
quartz and feldspar have also often
been foated from the eurite into the
detached fragments of the andesite.
The invading rock has melted the
ground mass of the andesite and has
left it's larger crystals scattered
through matrix made up largely of
molten andesite intermingled with
some eurite substance.-Americ
Naturalist.

Kind Of Horses IN Demand.


The Western Agricu1turist says.
Coach and carriage horse size, style
and beauty is now the ruling market
demand. We have predicted it would
be for years, while we have been
breeding millions of small trotters for
speed. The depression developed the
change so quickly that many can not
realize the lost cause of the country
cross roads trotter, while those who
read the stock journals and farm pa
pers Of the city daily, or who visit the
large cities and see the type of large
harness horses with the elements of
beauty in form and action, can better
understand the mistakes we have
made in breeding for speed alone,
which now has little commercial value
except for professional race-track use.
while the great city markets demand
the coach horse type with high knee
action. The trotting horse papers have
tried in vain to cry down the introduce
ton Of the coachers, just as they did
the draft horse, which they predicted
would soon play out Now we can not
get half enough Of those despisei
draft horses and the eoachers have
run the gauntlet Of foreign compel
ton. There are European buyers for
more horses than we yet raise, and a
wonderful home city demand that
buys with lavish hand to keep them
from the foreign buyers that fill all
our horse markets.

Polly Did Say Uncle.

A man whose niece had coaxed him
to buy parrot succeeded in getting a
bird that was warranted a good talk
er. He brought it home, and, after
putting it in a cage, stood before it
and said:-'Say uncle, Polly! The bird
did not respond, and after repeating
the sentence a dozen times or more
with no better success the uncle put
his hand upon the cage and, grabbing
the bird by the neck, shook him until
his head Wohbled around. all the time
yelling to him, Say, uncle, you stupid,
say uncle! The bird looked limp and
lifeless, and Disguised with his pur-
chase, the old fellow took the parrot
out into the yard where he had a
coop Of thirty chickens. Thursting the
half-dead bird in with the chickens, he
exclaimed, There you stupidv Next
morning the uncle went out to see how
the parort was getting on. Looking
into the coop he found twenty-nine
dead chickens, and in the center Of the
coop stood the parrot on one foot,
holding the thirtieth chicken by the
neck and shaking it till it's head wob-
bled, and screaming. Say uncle, you

Sarsa ri|Ia
Trunks Like .SrcHsers-

A new trunk that is finding favor
with many women who dislike the
lifting of heavy trays, or the turning
of the contents of a carefully packed
trunk topsy-turvey in order to reach
something placed in the middle Or
bottom of it, is constructed like a
dresser, with the trays like so many
drawers that can be drawn out as
easily as the drawers of a well-made
bureau. It has not the appearance Of
a piece of bedroom furniture, how
ever, when closed, as the lid forms
part of the side Of the trunk, locking
near the bottom. These trunks are
very strong and light, being clamped
with iron made Of a cellulose fiber,
with the woodwork three-ply veneer.
The drawers run on metal slides.

A wOMAN'S DESK.
Keeping 1t in Order 9Need Not BE
''' Troublesome.

hecpsn8 IL In order 9Nced Not BE
''' Troublesome.
A woman need not be literary"
nor social queen to have enough writ
ing to do to make the care of papers"
a nuisance. So, too, though she does
not have a priceless mahogany desk,
with Dresden and silver fittings she
can have lots Of bother from the desk
she has, unless she practices a trick
or SO in keeping it in order It is time
saved to reft penholders with fresh
pens once week. Tie one penholder
and one sharpened pencil to the desk,
letting the string be long enough to
not interfere in the use of the other
articles. This trick is the only known
one that insures the presence Of these
necessary articles Oh the desk. If
woman will anchor a pair of scissors
in the same way she deserves to be
both wise and happy.
The fewer fittings a desk has the
better. A strip of ribbon or blue den
i'm tackled down by the ends at the
back Of the desk and then divided into
compartments by rows of lacks, will
serve nicely instead Of dozen or more
movable fittings. Into narrow spaces
one can tuck pencils, paper cutters,
rules, sealing wax and stamps. Into
a wider one goes the quire or so of
note paper in use, and next to it the
envelopes. Still another holds bills,
another the little fiat oiled paper strip
into which stamps are folded the only
known way to keep them free from
sickness or loss.
For miscellaneous papers of too,
great bulk to be SO disposed, the sort
that accumulate, must not be thrown
away and ought not to get mixed, but
which do and will lget mixed up all the
time, there is one trick that will sub
due them entirely. Keep a supply of
little spring clothes pins that will nip
securely different lots Of papers accord
ing to your convenience and choice
The biggest pile of miscellaneous pa
pers so nlpped into separate punches
may be "tidied" by any strange hand
and yet not get mixed, which surely
is an advantage. If the punches are
numerous and further designation is
necessary, line Of direction may be
written on the pin. This arrangement
is vastly better than che murderous
mounted spikes that are in the way
and look untidy..
A big square paper tackled to the
writing table is far and away better
than the most elaborate blotter folio.
Indeed, elaborate fittings of any sort
are nuisance for any but a toy,

Mucilage is hard to keep in order. A

best arrangement. If only one could

Fighting SDider Crabs.

The blue crab is q natural born
fighter; the probability is that he would
a little rather fight than not. The spi-
der crab is not so much Of a fighter as
that; still, the spider will put his claws
up. There are eight or ten big spider
crabs in one Of the tanks at the New
York aquarium; the biggest of them is
four inches in length Of body and meas
uring eight or ten inches in spread of
legs. Two Of these spiders of about
equal size met in the tank the other
day and stood up on their legs and
faced each other like two boys meeting
in the street. Then they drew their
upper legs around each other and grap-
pied, and began plugging away at each
other with their pincer claws. a mo-
ment later one pushed the other over
on his back and fell on him; he hit him
once after he was down. Then thew
went their ways.

dear; my little girl must go to bed
early, and then she will be bright for
her lessons tomorrow"
The little girl was sitting in her
papa's easy chair, holding in her lap a
very large doll. AS sat down I saw
she was very busy brushing its hair
and smoothing it's clothes, looking it
over very carefully to see that every
thing was just asst should be-
what dear little dollie! How
pretty her hair is, and how becomingly
she is ,dressed!' I said. The little girl
was pleased that I should notice her
baby, and began telling me all about
her.
"Not tonight, little one," 1 said.
Didn't I hear mamma say it was her
little girls bedtime?"
The mother very quietly began talk
ing to me, while the little girl went on
liking dollie for the night. Only for a
moment, however; then the little girl
Slid very slowly out of the big chair,
gave her mother three long, sweet
kisses, with a pleasant goodnight for
us all, and, with dollie Rugged tightly
in her arms, went soberly away up
stairs. But in a few moments we heard
her singing a soft little lullaby to her
baby.
Very likely the little girl could not
have told what made her feel like sing
ing; but l know. It was because, in
stead Of fretting over not being al
lowed to sit up longer, she had cheer

Protect Cows From Flies.


If COWS could be protected in sum-
mer from flies it would undoubtedly
be means of largely increasing the
milk flow and save much annoyance
in milking. Prof. G. NJ. Weed Of the
New Hampshire agricultural expert
ment station gives the following meth
DDS of preventing the attacks of the
horse-dy, which, we presume, would be
equally effective for any other kind OF
fly 1t is simple and worth trying:
The most satisfactory way of pre-
venting the attacks of the horse-fy is
to apply to the cattle some substance
that serves as a repellant. We have
experimental with a number OF ma
terials and find that the best results
are obtained by the use of a cheap Oil
such as fish oil or crude cOttOnSeed
,oil-to which small amount of car
boic acid or pine tar has been added.
Apply rather lightly to the cattle by
means Of a paint brush, a sponge or
even a woollen cloth. Such a combina-
ton Immediately drives off the flies
and remains in condition to keep
them off for about week. This is
very simple remedy; it should be ap-
piled whenever the flies become troub-
lesome.
Either of the following formulas are
recommended for this purpose:
1. Crude cottonseed or fish oil, 2
parts; pine tar, part.
2. Crude cottonseed or fish oil, 100
parts; crude carbolic acid, parts.
In either case these substances are
to be mixed and applied as described
above
