A Oueer PROPOSAL.

An aristocratic young lady Of
Magdoburg, Germany, had spent some
time at tho country seat of her unole,
and q young cavalier from Berlin had
been paying much attention to her
Everybody thought IL would be a good
match for both, and affairs went on
swimmingly, until the day drew near
when the young lady was to return
home. The nearer the day came the
more disappointed were the young
miss and her mother at the failure OF
the young man to ask the all.import-
ant question. Finally, they left their
relatives house in great dismay, and
just before leaving the young lady re-
marked to her uncle that IL probably
was as we'll for both, as her mother
had not much use for such "chicken-
hearted son.in-law" They left on a
train on the narrow gauge railroad,
connecting the valley with the nearest
| town.
After they had gone the young man
questioned the uncle why the young
lady had gone away so angry and
hardly noticed him when bidding
good-by. The uncle, blunt ex-
soldier, repeated the remark made by
his niece when leaving to the young
man, who was touched to the quick by
the insinuation of cowardice contained
therein. He was very much in love
with the lady, and had abstained from
broaching the subject on account of
not considering it proper to propose
anywhere but at the young lady's
home, which he intended visiting be.
fore long.
This remark, however, aroused his
sense of honor, and, without saying
another word. he mounted his horse,
which happened to stand ready for an
outing, and galloped after the train,
which had left quarter of an hour
before. Owing TO benign Providence
and the management of this country
railroad, he caught the train before it
had reached the next station, Kraow.
He spied the young lady at the window
of first class compartment, and,
riding up to the train before it came
to a full stop, almost shouted, hearth
lessly, "My dear Miss -, ] ask for
your hand Yes or MOP"
In the station of Kraow, just as the
train arrived, q "Yes" was joyfully
given by the young miss, and tearfully
approved by her mamma. New York

A MARVEL.
AND ASTONISHING
CURE OF AN EXTREME CASE
OF ST. vITUs' DANCE.

How a Young Lady Regained the Use OF
Her Arms, Limbs and speeCh
In Three Weeks.
From ne Standard linton, brooklyn, NJ Y,
Too much hard study at school brought on
ST. vitus' dance. Such was the common ex-
perIence OF Miss Glendora Rivers, daughter
OF Mrs. Amelia Rivers, OF 90 Ry-
erson street, Brooklyn. The disease grew
worse every month until the young lady's
entire right side became paralyzed; but, now
that marvellous and permanent cure has
been wrought, II will be interesting to reat
her own version Of the efficacy OF Dr. Will
iams' Pink Pills.
"For more than year" said Miss Rivers.
"doctors attended me without effecting tho
slightest change In my condition. II any

''The FIRST week in March my mother, who

IL wise TO get another box OF the pills, and
this she did, and here you see me stand be-
fore YOU with more strength and more am
bition than l ever had
"Some OF our near neighbors attribute my
regained body and health TO some miracu-

EFFECT OF IMPURE SALT ON purrrn.

When good butter, packed in good
condition, and having no appearance
of white specks, is found atterward to
be speckled, the cause is due to I'M.

either in form OF gypsum or chloride,
and when mixed with butter this in a
short time becomes decomposed. form.
ing lime soaps with the fat of the but
ter. These soaps are insoluble and
cannot be washed out OF the butter by
any after treatment. The longer the
butter is kept, the worse this defect
becomes, until in time the effect of
the salt is TO produce bad flavor in
the butter, thus destroying its quality
as well as its appearance. Only the
very best of salt should be used in
butter or cheese making, for the same
defect will appear in cheese thus
salted. The cost of the salt is so small
that it is mistaken economy to spoil
the product to save few cents in a
month. New York Times.

FEED FOR PIGS.

Cows and hogs go we'll togetbar,
writes A. Selle, of Wisconsin. Fol-
lowing after the cattle and con.
suming the skimmilk produces an ami
NAL well adapted for breeding pur-
poses. The tendency of corn-fed hogs
is toward tineness of bone and weak
ness OF the muscular system. Milk
and clover countaract this bad effect.
By using the proper foods two litters
a year can be had from each SOW.
Wean the pigs when six TO eight weeks
old, and feed middlings or cornmeal
and skimmilk. Many farmers do not
think it is profitable to raise two lit,
tiers a year, but if the pigs are fed
milk in winter it is good practice. OF
course dry warm stable is necessary
to get best results.
While milk IS tne best single foo
for hogs l prefer to use it with other
feed. Why favorable results are OBJ
talned, ! cannot say, unless it be that
