such a barrow as is shown in the cut,
with small wheel at either side, and
mix the whole ration in it at once Then
wheel the mass along before the stalls
and shovel out into each crib the proper
amount. Half the labor of feeding grain
will in this way be saved. The same
kind of barrow will be found useful
in feeding roots to stock.-N. Y. Tri-

DESTROYING WEEDS.
Description of the Cocklebur and How to
Fight Its Advances.

The cocklebur is a rapidly-growing,
coarse weed with an irregularly branch
ing stem that grows to a height of from
one to two feet. The leaves, which are
borne on long leaf stalks, are broadly
triangular in general outline and more
or less toothed and lobed on the Dor.
ders. There are two kinds of flowers
horne on separate heads or clusters on
the same plant. The male or staminate
flowers are produced in roundish heads
at the top of the stem. After shedding
their pollen these drop off, and the
female or pistillate flowers, which are
in clusters of two or three at the base
Of the male spike, enlarge and form
thick, hard, oblong burs beset VITA stiff
hooked prick les, and bearing two strong
beaks at the upper end. These burs,
like those of the burdock, adhere to
clothing and the coat of animals. The
upper portion of a plant of cocklebur is

IRISH MUD CABINS.
Row the Dingy Dwelling Places Are Con-
structed and Furnished.

Row the Dingy Dwelling Places Are Con-
structed and Furnished.
The mud cabin in Ireland consists of
two rooms and possibly small semide-
tached clubhouse which is used as store
room for perishable articles. There is
not a chink in the walls or thatch save
narrow chimney, which seldom If ever
answers its purpose. The doorway faces
the east and emits the smoke. What lit
tie light penetrates inside through the
tiny window discloses the deep choco-
late stain from the eternal turf reek
which pervades the atmosphere of the
interior, and literally paints walls, roof
and furniture uniform color The fur
niture is rough and also scanty, few
stools atoning for the occasional COM
plete absence Of chairs.
The mud floor is always more or less
wet from the patter of the children's
bare feet or from the animals which
have free access to the house. At night
there is u goodly company within the
walls Of this spacious mansion. In the
inside room there are two or three box
beds or berths, where the children sleep,
according to their age and sex. From
y to l2 is not an uncommon number
in family. In the state berth in the
calliogh, or recess at the side of the
hearth, the father and mother repose I'M
screened from the live stock Of the farm
and breathe the same atmosphere as some
eight quadrupeds besides the poultry.
Pigs, cattle, dogs, cats, and probably
horse or donkey, have their bed space re-
spectively, and jealously resent any ell
croachment by bedfellow.
Astonishing as it may appear, there
are hardly any disagreeable odors. The
overpowering smell Of the peat smoke
evidently acts as a complete disinfectant,
and fortunately it is innoxious TO the in
habitants of the howell. Equally astonish-
ing is the fact that the whole commu
nifty is in comparative harmony, and
even the babies rarely cry. There is
plenty Of occupation for all the family
who are able and willing to work, the
mother doing little else but nurse the
youngest infant. -Cornhill Magazine.

TRUCKING A CRAB.
African Natives Take Advantage OF His
Industry In n Heartless Manner.

African Natives Take Advantage Of His
Industry In n Heartless Manner.
In Africa there exists a certain men,
Der of the crab genus commonly known
as the great tree crab. This peculiar
shellfsh has an offensive trick OF
crawling up the cocoanut trees, biting
off the cocoanuts and then creeping
down again backward.
The theory is that the nuts are shat
tered by the fall, and the great tree crab
is thus enabled to enjoy hearty meal
Now, the natives who inhabit regions
infested by this i'll conditioned crab are
well aware that the lower portion of the
crabs anatomy is soft and sensitive, and
they believe that the "bivalve" was
thus constructed in order that he might
know when he had reached the ground,
and when, consequently, he might with
safety release his grasp of the trunk.
So what they do in order to stop his
depredations, which often ruin the CO.
ooanut crops, is this: While the crab is
engaged in nipping off the cocoanuts
they climb half way up the trees and
there drive q row of long nails right
around the tree, allowing an inch or sc
of the nails to project.
The crab has no knowledge Of disas-
ter, nor yet the fitness Of things. As he
descends the sensitive part of his body
suddenly touches the nails. Thinking he
has reached the ground, he naturally
lets 60 Instantly he falls backward and
cracks his own shell on the ground.

An amusing story is told of Robert
Franz, the famous German song writer,
and another equally celebrated compos-
er. The incident occurred soon after
the publication of Franz's famous
"Open Letter to Edward Hanslick," in
which he made severe criticism upon
some musical work of the composer,
Johannes Brahms.
Franz had occasion at that time to
take five or six hours trip by rail In
the compartment with him was little
man with whom he fell into converse
ton. The fellow travellers found each
other delightful and whiled the hours
away in agreeable talk, which did not
turn upon music.
When the train reached Franz's des-
tination, he took out his card case, say
ing to his companion:
"You have made me pass most de-
ightful afternoon. Allow me to give
you my card. "
The stranger seemed highly gratified
and offered Franz his card in return.
Each looked at the bit of pasteboard he
had received in amazement. The stran-
gers eyes opened wide at reading the
name of his merciless critic, "Dr. Rob
ert Franz" while Franz himself was
equally astounded at reading on the card
in his hand, johannes Brahms "
There was no time for mutual expla-
nations, but each of the musicians had
discovered that, however their ideas
might differ from musical standpoint,
they were at least admirable travelling
companions and had found much to en-
joy in each other. Youth Companion.

The circumstances attending the
adoption of the legend "E Pluribus
Unum" as the motto of the United
States have never been fully explained
by the historians. 1t was probably used
ON coins-and some say upon early
colonial flags-long before it was regu-
larly recognized by the leading officials
of the new republic. The Oldest coin
bearing the motto in full is colonial
cent coined by New Jersey in the year
1856. The same year it appeared on a
small medal recognized among the col
lectors of coins as "the confederatio +"
This medal was national token, be-
heve, and was coined by authority of
the general government. 1t bore on one
side 10 stars and blazing sun, the lat
ter surrounded by the word "Confeder-
alto, which gives it the name by which
it is known to the numismatists.
The words in the headline are I'M
doubtedly from Virgil's ''Moretus," a
poem devoted to a description of a GER
tain salad In the rhyming recipe he
gives instructions for mixing the proper
herbs and pounding the same in NOR
tar until the various colors blend as one.

that 1.-THE colonies were mixed in the

ONE HEAD USHER.


The Ways Wherein He Differed From
Others OF His Calling
1t is as old as the Proverbs that the

The druggist may patronize the faith

The street car conductor is glad to get o
by off, so he can take long walk.
A more remarkable case than any OF
these is that of the head usher at the
theater, and one theater in particular.
Probably every playgoer in Chicago
knows him. The title of "head usher"
does him an injustice. He is more like .

There are head ushers who pounce
upon you, grab the coupons, thrust them
back into your fumbled hands and shout,
First aisle to the right -
There are other head ushers who tell
you to hurry up or step lively. They
give loud warning that all coupons must
be ready.
They shout, Hey, therer' and are
constantly distracted because of the i'm
mense responsibility which they imagine
is resting upon them.
As soon as a snippy young man gets
into box Office or is engaged as an
usher, he begins to imagine that he
owns the house, the company and good
part of the frontage in the block.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the Office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and |
want 1t done at once; no more lamps for me-
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take TO more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.
We have a complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received a lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.
