A Waste Paper Basket Story.

The editor of popular weekly was
placed in a great dilemma the other
day. Having with much care selected
six complete stories for publication,
be placed them for safety on the floor
underneath the waste paper basket.
On leaving late at night he forgot to
change their position, and when the
.oharwoman came the next morning she
swept them up with other litter and
put them in the dustbin. The same
morning the dustman came round, and
the paper, including the editof's price
less stories, was placed in large sacks
and sent off to the Salvation Army
depot. The editors despair Mt discov-
ering the fate of his manuscripts may
be imagined, but he is man of much
decision, and, having learned the pro.
cess of collection, he charter ed han.
som, and taking two assistants with
him set off for the Salvation Army
quarters. 1t was of course Impossible
for the authorities here to tell which
bag contained the litter. The huge
sacks, forty in number, which had
been collected during the morning,
we're without any mark of identity,
and 1t was at once apparent that if the
manuscripts were to be recovered it
would be necessary to search the en-
tire litter. Undismayed at the pros
pect, the editor and his assistants took
off their coats and went to work. At
ter many hours of weary search five
out of the six were ultimately recov.
cred. The last and, according to the
editor, the most priceless, evaded ell
search; but, triumphant at the result
of the days labors, the editor and HE
assistants returned to the Office, and
the manuscripts were forthwith handed
to the waiting printers. s.-Westminster

Use for Oyster Shells.

The waters Of Maryland produce
one.third of the total oyster supply in
the world. 1t yields twice as many OF
these luscious biyalvss as are grown
in all foreign countries combined.
During the present century it has put
On the market 400, 100000 bushels OF
the toothsome mollusks. These have
sold for the enormous sum of $751;
100000. Almost all of this country
is dependent for the abundance and
oheapness of this edible on the supply
of the Chesapeake. From here also
come very nearly all of the oysters
used for canning. In fact, the output
of this industry of Maryland is equal
to one. sixth of all the fisheries of the
United States put together, says the
Philadelphia Times.
The quantity of oyster shells landed
upon the shores of Maryland during
the last century has been reckoned at
100000 tons. Until very lately the
canning firms have had much trouble
in getting rid of the SHELF, having to
pay, in fact, for the removal ofall that
they could not give away. Recently,
however, they have been able to sell
them. They are now shipped to oil
parts of the country and are utilized
variously for roads, for lime and en-
ployed in making coal gas. They have
also been found to serve almost as we'll
as stone in the manufacture of special
grades of irop for railway beds. Gull
tivators of oysters also employ them,
having found that they afford suitable
surfaces for young oysters to attach
themselves to They are likewise used
to some extent as chicken food. They
are very good for hens, the shells of
eggs being largely made Of them. The
trade received $25. ZOO in single year
for the empty shells.

groom being one of the lion tanners
attached to the circus.
With true Snowman instinct the
manager of the circus arranged the
wedding, Offering, of course, sub.

couple. As a result, the circus tent
was crowded the night of the ceremony,
The minister was invited to enter the
cage also, but preferred to remain
outside.
Standing inside the cage, with their
hands clasped, the two listened to the
words that made them man and wife,
and gave the necessary responses as
clearly as though they were in a
church.
The bridegroom held whip in his
disengaged hand, and at times he
glanced around at his fierce pets.

his hand in case the lions should OBJ

their home. But the beasts behaved
remarkably we'll. They had been
decorated with flowers and ribbons,
and, by way of precaution, had been

THE COMING BUTTERMAKER.

In looking over the time which has
elapsed since ] first became interested
in dairying, I find there has been
much change, writes Professor T. L.
Haecker, of Minnesota. The butter
or cheese maker who has come in con-
tact with his fellow.workers has added
to his store of knowledge and made
wonderful progress. On the other
hand, the home dairymsn has made
but little advance. I am surprised to
see that methods employed to-day in
making butter on the farm are little
better than those used fifteen years
ago. 1t is not because the farmers
have o advantages, but simply because
they do not use them. The person
not coming IN contact with those
similarly employed gets an idea that
his methods are the best methods and
that his butter is the best butter.
Every farmers wife makes good but
ter. In all my travels I have never
seen woman admit that she made
poor butter.
Now on the other hand. in the butter
makers Of the factory and creamery l
find bright intelligent class of men.
Still, there is much to learn. The
coming buttermafer will have a larger
field than the one you occupy. He
will not only be buttermaker, but he
will be practical manufacturer. He
will be a teacher. His instructions
will 60 out on the farm and he will be
an instructor in the best methods of
raising crope. He will inform himself
as to the culture of field crops and the
proper curing o. fodder and forage.
He will become an expert Judge Of
dairy products. He will study the
best methods Of breeding, rearing and
managing dairy stock. When by
proper selection and feeding of dairy
COWS you can teach the farmer that he
can produce one pound Of butter on
four cents worth OF feed where it now
Costs him eight, you see what wonder

WORDS OF WISDOM

Some people live on the insEallment
plan.
Half of your worry today is due to
your neglect yesterday.
The more we love men the more we
can see in them to love.
The unmeant mischief of fools ls all
pervading and irremediable.
Who makes quick use of the mo-
nent is genius of prudence.
An excellent thing to remember ls
that every story has two sides.
When some people have nothing to
say they seem to talk the most.
The majority of people who want to
be coaxed ought to be dubbed.
The same opportunities make hero
of one man and an ais of another.
Business covers multitude OF trans.
actions just out of the reach OF the
law.
The less people know about each
other the potter they are when they
meet.
Obsourity on earth will not keep
anybody from becoming famous in
heaven.
Murmur at nothing; if our ILLS be
reparable, it is foolish; if remedyless,
il is in vain.
A man never wants to be an angel as
long as he can make o living at some-
thing else,-The South West.

Arrow Poison.

The natives of the New Hebridel
render themselves terror to thei1
enemies by using poisoned arrows. the
tips of which they smear with earth
from certain marshes. M. Dantec has
made archaeological study of these
poisoned arrows, and finds that theil
fatal properties are due to the pres
ence, in the earth with which they ore
sneared, of two deadly germs-a septic
vibrion and the microbe of tetanus
The fret OF these produce death from
malignant edema in twelve to ffteeI
hours. In cases where septic vibrior
has lost its virulence, the tetanus bacil
lus which is present proves equally,
although less speedily, fatal. This
observation of NJ. Dantec proves the
incorrectness of the former theory
that the tetanus bacillus is derived
from horse, since this animal is un-
known. in the Hebrides Islands. Mod
