THE REToRT DISCoURTEoUS.

A Bright Newsboy Answers 4 Lady In .
Caustic Manner.
A small and dirty newsboy worked a
paying game for week or so down in
the shopping districts. He would don
a most pathetic expression, go up to a
woman and say: "Missis, won't you
buy a paper? Dis is my birthday, and /
amt sold hardly any" Of course, he
would sell one in nine cases out of ten,
and would generally get nickel and be
told to keep the change. He must have
kept this up for nearly a week and
reaped q bountiful harvest. At last one
young woman who had tired of the same
story, and who had become rather skep-
teal on the subject of birthdays"
stopped the young genius and remarked
in tones clear enough to be heard some
little distance: See, here, little boy.
what did you say about your birthday"
Lady, please buy a paper. Dis is my
birthday, and / amt sold but one paper
to-day" whined the young rascal.
Nov, my little boy, to my certain
knowledge you have had a birthday
every day this week. Aren't you
ashamed to tell such stories ?'
He was corncred for minute, and
stood with head cast down and every ap-
pearance of remorse. At last he looked
up with a most innocent expression,
and said: Well you see, lady, you en-
me we're different. 1 amt very old, en-
l thought I'd have lot of birthdays to
oneet, en- den L could quit havin' 'em like
you. See?" .... .s. ..
She concluded he was past reforming.
and, slipping dime in his hand, moved
on, signing over the wickedness of the
generation, while the young sinner ex-
ecuted pas seul of his own invention.

Social Event. tAs.
The old sailor, with the honest blue
eyes and the steel-bowed spectacles rest
ing on the tip of his nose, drifted into
the Broken Shutter" once again the
other night and insinuated himself into
the conversation of the sports and alb
nighters.
"Say, any of you fellers ever have a
coon for pet?" was the way he at
tracted attention to himself.
Get out" three or four of them cried;
what are you giving us?"
That's straight" continued the old
man, and his mild blue eyes twinlled
merrily. 81 mean a 'coon-a raccoon.
Why, gentlemen, coon makes one of
the incest pets in the world. Of course,
its temper is trifle uncertain and its
teeth are sharp. My coon used to make
raids on the neighbours chicken coop,
but for all that he was n good pet. He
was as playful as kitten and as mis-
| chievous as monkey. l used to put
few marbles in basin of water, and
the coon would amuse himself by the
hour. And like sweets-well, you just
ought to have seen him. Thought as
much of candy as girl, and as for
honeywell, that raccoon would go
miles to raid beehive.
II was living out in Missouri in those
days and one night the folks at the
house had shucking-bee in the barn,
and after the constructing was fin
ished they had dance-a regular
| country affair. Balance to the right;
partners all; birdie in the cage, and all
hands round you know, feliers; you've
all been there" " ".#"
The old soldier was patting time now,
and as he gave out the dance calls in
regular country style the boys were at
loss to know just what turn his story
would take.
"All the boys and girls of the dees-
trick were there-girls n loose-necked
dresses and boys in flippity-fop trous-
ers, wide at the bottoms and baggy at
| the knees.
"Well, my coon had been out a-hunt-
| In beehive, and he found one. All the
bees were at home, and they just lit
| into Mr.. Coon. He remembered, then,
that he had business at home, and back
he come to our house, just a-fyin', and
about bushel of the busy little bees
| a-followin' him. He came right into
the barn, where the dance was a-goin'
on. He jumped around, squallin' with
pain, and sheddin' about so bees at q
jump.
| "Well, that was when the fun COM
menced. The bees made for the boys
and girls; went down the girls necks
and up the boys trousers. They got
on the bald heads of the old folks, and
seemed to think the hands of the fiddlers
were choice things to make honey. The
folks tried to get out of the door and
they jammed up the door. The men
swore and the women screamed with
pain; and all the time the cocoon kept
| running around sheddin' bees. Well,
1t ended the dance and killed the coon.
guess, fellers, that was leetle bit the
liveliest shucking-bee that there ever

The man who has even a small plot
of ground to tend, and throws his ashes

where else to get wasted, has surely n

phosphoric acid, two valuable plant
foods. They also have excellent me-

How to Prepare Tobacco Dip.

Speaking of tobacco dip, writer
says it will require for 100 sheep 100
gallons of water, and to make that
strong enough to kill ticks and the scab
it will require the addition of all the
fluid that can be extracted from IS
pounds of tobacco. The tobacco should
be thoroughly STEPPED and boiled so as
to get all the strength out of it. To
this mixture ten pounds of sulphur
should be mixed separately in pail Of
hot water, and after being thorough.
ly stirred should be added to the dip.
If tobacco stems are used, at least
three times the weight mentioned
should be stepped.

Sore Feet I'm n Cow.

The soreness between the claws of
the hoof is to be treated in this way:
Wash we'll with hot water and carbolic
soap, and if there are scabs in the sores,
break these by rubbing with something
rough when they are softened by the
hot water. Then apply this mixture:
Take of pure vascline four ounces,
acetate of copper half an ounce, Venice
turpentine one ounce, and common tur-
pentine one ounce. Melt together all
but the copper, then make an intimate
mixture of all by rubbing them on a
board with dinner knife. After the
washing apply this ointment to the
sores and bind the foot, between the
claws, and all around it, with bandage.

RATIoNS FOR HORSES.
skim Milk Is the Food Par Excellence for
Young Animals.

.
Young Animals.
To an inquiry for the best ration for
mares in foal and for colts from one to
three years old, the Country Gentleman
replies that there is no better collection
of foods for both the brood mares and
the colts than roots, oats, wheat and
bran and middlings, linseed meal and
skim milk, though other materials, such
as barley, corn to limited extent, malt
sprouts and other by-products may be
used. #w. kE
A grain mixture consisting of four
parts ground oats, four parts wheat
bran Tor middlings, not the finest) and
one part linseed meal, will do all that
any mixture will in promoting the kind
of growth that is desired.
In the case of the mares, the quantity
OF grain ration that should be fed de :.
ponds so much upon conditions-such
as size, the quantity of work, whether in
CESSATION or sucking the foal-that we
are sure it will be more sensible for a
practical feeder to govern the ration by
his personal observation than by any
arbitrary rule which we might venture
to suggest. -..-at .t.u-
Skim milk would be food par excel
lence for the colts, even for those three
years old; and if supply of this can be
had for2o cents or less per 100 pounds, no
more economical food could be found
for part of the ration. If the milk is
fed, the linseed meal may be left out of
the ration, and the bran and oats re-
tanned, in the proportion of one pound
of the mixture to six pounds of the milk
for the younger colts, the proportion of
grain increasing as the animals grow
older. The skim milk would also be
splendid food for mares while suck
ling their foal. In any case, especially
if all other foods are dry, roots are ex-
ceedingly desirable as All occasional
feed. and they may be fed daily to colts
with excellent results.

FANCY CREAM CHEESES.
They Are Very Appetizing and Easily
Made ut Home.

| They Are Very Appetizing and Easily
Made Mt Home.
Dainty little cream cheeses are easily
made at home. Mix pint of fresh
cream and with three cups of fresh
milk add scant Tablespoonful of
liquid rennet. Whip the mixture
thoroughly for three minutes, then let
it stand for three hours, or until it is
thoroughly clotted and firm. Turn it
out on q cloth spread over a sieve, to
drain off the greater part of the whey.
After this tie it up in the cloth and
hang it in some cool place to drip like
pot cheese or cottage cheese. When ii
has drained in this way for ~ hours
line little cups holding about gill each
with sheer buttered muslin. If the cups
arc perforated it is so much the better.
Season the cheese curds with salt, rs
you would cottage cheese, and fill the
lined cups. Put slight weight on each
one, and in an hour they will be ready
to serve. .. ..gvF
For another cheese take equal quanti
ties of milk and cream, and for every
three pints of the mixture, stir in four
drops only of liquid rennet. Beat the
whole together until it is very frothy,
and then set it away to stand for IL
hours. Drain it and tie it in a cloth to
drip as before for IL hours, then press
it in cloth into a perforated mold large
Enough to hold it. After two hours take
it out and rub it with salt top and bot
tom, and lay it on a clean board in a
cool, well-aired place, turning it and
sprinkling it with salt every "a hours.
At the end of two or three days the
cheese will be ready for use.-N. Y.
