he cannot help himself in following the white mans music and the white mans words. The true, pure African song is probably the ''Juba."
 It is hardly a song, but chant, abounding in spoken words. As to rhythm, the native negro, or the one born in the United States, has that to marked degree. If now and then there has been an occasional negro vocalist of merit since their period of freedom, why has there not been an in- strumentalist? The reason is plain. To have a fine voice is an accident of nature. To play an instrument well, so as to gain reputation as violinist or pianist, means, in addition to natural talent, to devote to the violin or piano many years of study. The race instinct in the negro does not incline toward persistency of purpose. With rhythm alone, as Wallaschek shows, primitive music began.

FEEDING MlLCH COWS.
How to Maintain Even Production
 Throughout the Season.

How to Maintain Even Production
 Throughout the Season.
 One of the important items in secur ing the best profit from the COWS is te have an even flow of milk we'll main tanned throughout the season. On many farms there are COWS that for short season after they come in fresh yield 6 good flow of milk, but this soon be. gins to fail, especially if care is not taken i'll the feeding and management and at the end of seven or eight months the quactity they give is so small that they are allowed to go Cry Many cows gre kept that if charged a fai1 price for t.ie food they eat would not pay for thc:r keep.
 The first important item is to have good cows Then they toust be well fed, even in summer. While during growing season the pastures can be largely relied upon; it will pay to give also light feed of bran and corn meal, or bran and niddlings. Then in order to make sure of 3 good supply of cheap food it will also be a gool pla.. to plant some crop like sweet corn. fodder corn, fnillet. sorghum, or some thing of this kind that can be used at any time when necicd. Tncre should be Q change of f.:~d occasionally. so as to keep the COW with a goo appetite. as the more good fool the good dairy COW consumes the mora good milk she will give. It will also ba 3 gooI plan to divide the pas lures so tl-; she c2l be changed from one to the other at least every ten days. The cows will do much better than if they are compelled to depend upon one pasture. Besides, by changing, there will be less waste of feed. With all animals there is g natural inclination to eat the tender, sweeter growth, and ln doing this, when kept in one pas ture, there will be more or less that will grow up and mature seed. By dividing up the pastures and changing from one to the other, grass will all be eaten down more evenly. There should always be sweet, nutritious grasses in the pastures, so that the cows can get enough to satisfy their appetites with out tramping too long or too far. The quleter a2l more comfortable the cows can be kept the better the results. Feed to keep the COW in a good, thrifty condition. It is not possible to make good dairy COW fat, but good treatment will keep her in good condition. Her food will be converted into milk rather than flesh. St. Louis Republic.

THE LOST SHEEP.
A Living Picture of ths Beautiful Biblical
 Parable.


 The traveller in Palestine sees not in- frequently parable of the Gospels acted out before him. One of these liv- ing pictures passed before Frances Power Cobbe, as she was riding through the low hills which bound the blighted flats of the Dead sea. In her Life, by Herself" she describes the beautiful sight and the impression it made.
 While riding alone, few hundred yards ahead of the caravan. she met man, the only one she had seen since passing few black tents eight or ten miles away. He was noble-lool1ing young shepherd, dressed in the camcl's hair robe, and with the powerful limbs and elastic step of the children of the desert.
 Round his neck, and with it's little limbs held gently by his hand, lay a lamb he had rescued and was carrying home. The little creature lay as if perfectly contented and happy, and the man looked pleased as he strode along lightly with his burden. As Miss Cobbe saIuted flln With the usual gesture of pointing to heart and head and the ''Salaam alil!' (Peace with youD he re- sponded with a smile and kindly glance at the lamb, to which he saw her eyes were directed
 Ut was actually" writes the delight ed witness, ''the beautiful parable of the Gospel acted out before my sight. Every particular was true to the story; the shepherd had doubtless left his ninety -and-nine' in the wilderness, round the black tents we had seen so far away, and had sought for the lost lamb till he found it, where it must quickly have perished without his help. Literally, too, when he had found it, he laid it on his shoulders, reioicing.'n

A PRIEsT's EoBLE WORK.

His Glorious self-Sscritice in the Min
 nesota Forest Fro.
 The exploit of the brave engineer who piloted his train through the tor nado of flame in the Minnesota forest fires and rescued swar1ns of terror stricken refugees has made him famous: but the self-sacrifice of poor parish priest in Hinckley has hardly been mentioned, although there was in it much of the finest quality of heroism, says the Youths Companion.
 From the moment when the destruc- tlon of the town was menaced by the rapidly advancing wave of flame, he ceased to think of himself and devoted all his energies of mind and body to the protection and rescue of others
 He went from house to house, warn ing the inmates of their peril, and beg ging them to take refuge in sand pits where there was water. While panic stricken men were harnessing horses and frantically seeking to escape into the burning woods, he was calm and collected, reassuring everyone whom he met, yet pointing out the only chance of safety.
 He led one group after another to the sandpits when they were beside them selves from fear and excitement. When one place of refuge was overcrowded he found another, and begged the strag- glers to follow him.
 The woods were flaming on every side, and the refugees standing in the water felt in their faces the scorching breath of the storm of fire. The good priest had words of encouragement for all. He held children in his arms: he supported fainting women when they were falling from fright and fatigue: he put the stoutest-hearted man to shame by his coolness, cheerfulness and energy.
 With his hat he poured water on the heads of women and children in that fiery furnace. He took the coat from his back and tore it in half. One frag- ment he dipped in water and bandaged the forehead of a woman with child cllnging to her. The other half he wound around the heads of two help less children whose faces were scorched | with the heat of the burning forest.
 Bareheaded and in shirt-sleeves he stood among the dying and ministered | to them while he had strength to 1 stand, eyes to see and voice to utter words of comfort and hope. His was the spirit of self-sacrifce and of minis try to tho needy, and whether shown in Catholic,or in Protestant it is worthy i, of high connendation
 The flight of the train through the burning forest was the more stirring story in print, but what could have been nobler or more heroic than this devoted mans work among his flock!
 There were deeds of valor and chiv- airy before the walls of EutDhen in Flanders, but one act Of self-sacrifce alone is remembered. Sir Philip Sid ney, wounded, dying and burning with thirst, put away from his own lips the bottle of water which had been brought to him in his agony and gave it to common soldier covered with gore who had glanced at him wistfully.

THE NEGRO VOICE.
It Is Not Adapted to the Singing of White
 Mans Music.

Mans Music.
 Owing to personal idiosyncrasies the vocal apparatus Of the negro differs from that of the white man. The arch of the roof of the mouth, the nasal sounding board of the colored man, has another conformation. If a true col ored man were to paint his face like white mans and sing an English, Ital- ian or German aria it is his voice which would at once give him away, says an exchange.
