AN EXCITING GAME OF FOOTBALL.

fA+N h-NNlI l4NG DAME N)F FOOTBALL.
 The football game of the season was played at the fair grounds on last Satur-
 day between the H. A. C.'s of Waterbury
 and Taft's school team. The II. A. C.'s were nearly all grown men, some of them weighing over 200 pounds and came here
 with the expectation of just walking of
 the field with the boys at Taft's. They
 were sadly mistaken when they bucked
 the line for the first time. The boys were
 not to be driven off the field 50 eaeilv and one touchdown for Taft's was the re. suit of their play in the first half. An obviously incorrect ruling of the referee gave the ball to the H. A. C.'s on their 25-yard line. Taft's were forcing the ball through the H. A. C.'s line and had made six good yards In three downs when the referee made the ruling which gave the ball to H. A. 'C.'s. This set Taft's back and tt ey failed to score again on this half. Score, 1 to 0 in favor of Taft's. On the second half every inch of the ground was fought stubbornly by both sides, neither side scoring, so that the game went to Taft's 0. Taft's is the strongest team this year which has ever been at the school. So far this year they have played -four games and have not been scored against up to date. It is cer- tainly gratifying to the people of the town who are interested in football to have this team of boys put up such 8 1 game as they are doing. We wish them success in the games which 1 are to follow. Next Saturday they go to to play the Hotchkiss school team and the following Saturday to | Washington to play the Gunnery. After that the remaining games will De played | h Watertown.

The happy pair missed the Fri lay morning train for Montreal and went Q Boston instead.

excursion to inspect the Castro Lakes yes
terday with many winks and smiles OF
course the bill did not amount to much,
only $149 so for the twenty-four hours
lunket, but it was some of the items that
amused the committee until they were
explained.
Freight on two demijohns, ST." read the
chairman. Now it seems to me-" be con-
tinued, that it was hardly necessary to
take so much liquid
"Oh, that's all right interrupted a
mem Der who had participated in the trip,
'those jugs contained water to be assayed
to ascertain whether it is fit to drink.
Instead of remaining in Castroville over
night, when they found they could not
return to San Francisco the same day, the
party went to Monterey and were housed
at the Del Monte. The bill for this hotel
was $50 % for the party's lodging, $37
being for hotel and 81 % for wine
Il suppose we are expected to believe
that the ten men who went down there
only spent two and quarter for liquid re-
freshments," said the chairman, but just
then his eye lit on an item in another bill,
"Refresh ments, $15."
"Ah, that accounts for it." he said.
The demand was signed without further
question.

Working by the Eye.

The advance in the accuracy of work
manship in machinery is one of the re-
markable features of manufactures.
Formerly if shaft could be made right
within 1872 of an inch all was well. In
deed, under old processes this was as
fine degree Of correctness as the eye
could perceive. But this was altogether
too far from perfect to answer many
purposes, and mechanics set about de-
vising some means to insure more abso-
Lutte accuracy. One of the first sugges-
tions that the eye was less reliable than
the fingers came from the fitting of GER
tain cylinders with plugs. 1t was found
that number of plugs could be made
all precisely alike SO far as the eye could
judge, but the verieet novice detected
difference in their size the moment they
were applied to the hole for which they
were intended. 1t is said that now the
difference of $4,000 of an inch can read
lily be perceived by the most inexperienc.
ed person.-Neto York Ledger.

other older and more experienced one.

When the visitor rose to 60, the hos
tess came with her to the door, and out
upon the pleasant piazza, which, how
ever looked little dusty in the corners.
"Oh. dear!' said the young wife, "how
provoking servants are 1 told Mary to
sweep this piazza thoroughly. and now
look how dusty it is"
"Grace," said the older woman, look
ing into the disturbed young face with
kindly. humorous eyes, II am an old
old housekeeper. Let me give you
bit of advice: Never direct peoples at
tention to defects. Unless you do SO
they will rarely see them. Now. il had
been in your place and noticed the dirt,
l should have said: How blue the sky
isl or How beautiful the clouds arer or
How bracing the air isv Then should
have looked up at that as l spoke. and
should have gotten you safely down the
steps and out of sight without your see
ing the dust. "-HouSehOld.

STOCK.

Barns filed with grain and hay are
invaluable in their way, but not essen
tials in winter feeding. The system of
ensilage makes summer feeding practi-
cal all the year, and the ease with such
food is digested make it valuable. 1t is
laxative, and also stimulates the appe-
tite. More pounds of such food can be
grown to the acre than of almost any
other crop, and with the silo more stock
can be kept with greater profit than by
the Older methods.
1t stands to reason that with liberal
bedding cattle can be kept warm and
clean more easily-two factors of the
first Importance for their welfars. With
cut straw an animal can be kept more
comfortable than with long straw, be-
cause it can be more evenly distributed.
1t makes better absorbent for the
same reason, and the manure and urine
become more Thoroughly incorporated
with it.
Steers of dairy type are unpopular.
They do not seem to feed out satisfac-
torily, and feeders do not went them.
Let keepers Of this class of cows fore.
stall this objection by disposing of such
steers while calves as veals. Do not
give buyers an opportunity to taunt you
with their offers of little prices after
you have kept your steers for two or
three years.
"The days Of the years" of steer are
becoming less and less, and it looks as
If even the two year old will be aband-
oned before long. There is a cry for
cheap meat-and good and as the
heavier animal has larger percentage
of offal than the compact smaller one,
the butcher has found it improbable to
handle it. 1t is the percentage of meat
to live weight which decides the issue.
If there be evidence of oat hulls in
your mill feed, examine closely to see if
there is also oat meal. 1t is not an I'M
common practice to mix the bulls with
the meal. for they can be bought at the
factories at very low price. and serve
a double purpose of deception. Corn
and the cobs ground up look much more
enticing when they show up the appear
ance of having goodly proportion of
oats intermingled.
Where horses and COWS are kept in the
same stable there should be space for a
tree circulation OF air between them.

DANGEROUS TREES.

A word of warning is necessary as to
the proximity of trees to houses. Many
old-fashioned rural houses, as distin-
guished from the nadisons pc canapagne.
are empowered in trees and buried in
laburnum. They look delightful in pic
lures and sound enchanting in poetry;
but there are drawbacks in every mum
dane sphere, and there are one or two
little penalties to pay, even in laburnum
land. The nearest tree should be sew
eral yards away from the house, and if
possible from every part of the house.
We have observed lately, in more than
one London suburb, where an attempt
is being made to build dwellings which
are at once healthy and picturesque;
that houses have been placed within half
yard of old trees, mainly elms. Some
Of these houses are most certainly built
over the roots of trees, and it will re-
quire very liberal supply of very good
concrete to keep such dwellings dry.
A house with trees 80 near to it must
inevitably be both dark and damp, for
the roots, which are not themselves really
damp producers, are damp retainers, for
they form an obstacle to the escape of
the water which is always moving about
in the soil. There is a double danger
attaching to the very close proximity of
elms to house. Altogether apart from
the damp, the elm is treacherous tree,
and, if it be near enough, is certain,
sooner or later, to drop one of its boughs
through the drawing room window, or,
perhaps, even to break off and knock a
hole in the wall. 1t was only last winter
that we saw an old elm perform this very
feat. 1t was windy day. and the tree,
which was large one, broke off short at
the bole, and was thrown so violently
against the house that several windows
and the whole front portion of the roof
were stove in.

"Who is this Allen Weld!" asked
the teacher of Jack Myers who, for

"Why, Allen used to come to school
here when he was we'll. They live

two years ago that Allen could live
more than month. I hadn't heard he
was any worse than common"

Miss Parsons drew Dorothy to her
breast and pressed her lips to the
moistened cheek. 1t seemed as if
Dorothy's sympathy and love had
touched the higher self in each one
present. All the large girls and even
Hank Williamson, contributed word
of tenderness to this supreme mo-
ment.
1t was new life for Dorothy from
that day forth. The girls seemed to
feel that night that it was privilege
to lock arms with the one they had
SO frequently avoided.
The funeral was conducted the fol-
lowing Saturday. AS the scholars
looked upon the little emaciated form
that had once been so sprightly and
gay, each one thought of Dorothy's
story,her delight in saying that he ate
some of her Christmas doughnuts;
the loving message she had sent to
her brother frankie; and their hearts
took on kindness which will help
to make the world better.

From even the cleanest horse stable
there is strong odor of ammonia, which
will affect the milk if the COWS are COM
PEELED to breathe it continually, and it
will also contaminate the flavor of the
milk after the milk is drawn. We can
not be too careful Of the surroundings
If we would make good butter.
Salt is an essential constituent of the
blood, and because many of the common
foods OF cattle are lacking in it, it must
be artiticially supplied. The amount
varies In different foods, and in those
grown from different soils, and we, there.
Tore, have no guide, as to the exact
quantity an animal needs, but it must
be left to them. The correct way is to
give them constantly the opportunity of
satisfying the natural needs of the sys-
tenn.
1t is an idle practice for bee keepers
to feed swarms during honey blow in
order to forward storing. When the
sweets can be obtained from the flowers
1t is useless to try to feed the bees
In any other way. They prefer Flora's
fresh nectar. and will gather and store
it in the combs, entirely ignoring all
other food which can be placed before
them.
