rRATrLE OF THE YOUNGSTERS.

-
A mite Of a Chicago boy had ben watching
his grandmother make a pudding. II was
with difficulty that the parents persuaded the
youngster to eat his allowance of meat and
vegetables, so eager was he to gorge himself
with pudding. When at last the steaming
dish with its complement Of highly favored
sauce was brought to the table the lad held
forth his plate. A Tablespoonful OF the pud-
ding was dropped upon 1t, and still the plate
was passed expectantly. ~
what is it, Johnny" asked the good
grandmother. ~
%Johtny's eyes turned to the savory bowl
which contained the sauce.
Il want some Of that perfumery on It,"
he said softly. His wish was granted amid
gubdued laughter from the rest Of the family.
Sunday School Teacher-Now, Johnny, let's
hear from you. You have heard what the
rest Of the class have had to say about
temptation. Now, what would you say IL a
big man should invite you to drink something
with him?
Johnny Chafie-1 should say that l didn't
drink; that l had been taught that 1t was
Sunday School Teacher-That's right,
Johnny; l like to hear a boy speak up like
that.
Johnny Chaffe-But you bet your life I'd

A young woman of Hartford. Conn, was
telling her Sunday school class Of small boys
the other Sunday about the Shut In society,
whose members are persons confined with
sickness to their beds or rooms. Whom
can we think off, said she, that would have
had great sympathy for those who are so shut
in?" 81 know, said a little boy. Some one
in the bible, amt it, teacher?' Yes; and
who, Johhne?" JONAH" was the spirited
answer.
Johnny had been permitted to look at his
new sister.
THEY all say she looks exactly like you,
dear said his father.
Johnny took another look at the little fiat
nosed, red-faced, bald-headed mite of hui
mainly that lay blinking at him, and then
he went out and deliberately picked a fight
with a boy four years older than himself
and thrashed him. 1t was more than he
could stand.
A father, wishing to bring up his child in
the way he should go, told him when he was
in any danger and needed help to call upon
the Lord. Later in the day Willie was pun
ished for some misdemeanor and when on
the threshold of the dark closet, holding his
father by one hand, he dropped to his knees
and prayed: ooh, Lord. IL you want to help
a little boy, now's your chance
moral courage" said the teacher, "is the
courage that makes a boy do what he thinks
is right, regardless of the jeers of his COM
panions."
"Then, said Willie, 'If a Teller has candy
and eats it all hisself, and amt afraid of
the other fellers calm him stingy, is that
moral courage?'

LONDON. Feb. 1.-THE tone of the
conservative and liberal speeches IN
the debate Friday night in the house OF
commons and the consequent comments
OF the newspapers OF both parties dis
close the fact that there is a current Of
opinion favorable to Britieh interven-
tion in the Transvaal on the pretext OF
defending the rights of the foreign res
fidents of that republic. The gravl.y
of the situation is becoming recognized.
The Spectator says that the possibil-
ity of terrible war underlies the dec
laration of Baron Won Bieberstcin, the
German foreign minister, that Ger
many will not abandon her resolve to
interfere in tho affairs of the Trans
vanl The paper declares that if Great
Britain was fairly reused, there would
be no danger of parliament refusing
the demands Of the government for
munitions of war, but adds that it is
doubtful if the country even now is
aware of the dreadful suddenness with
which an extreme emergency may
arise.
The Statist protests against the gov
ernment devoting part OF the budget
surplus to the relief of the agricultural
distress and declares that this money
ought to be expended in putting the
country in a state of full preparedness,
for war.
The latest dispatches from Cape Col
ony confirm the view generally enter
tanned here that the volksraad of the
Transvaal will decide that it would moi
be wise or cxpedient for Presidon
Kruger to make visit to England
The newspapers of Natal say they ex
pect that the negotiations between
Great Britain and the Transvaal will
end in n rupture of diplomatic rela
,tions and that this will be followed by
hostilitics. According to the Nata
Advertiser only miracle can avert {
war

Mr.. Mckinley will not be nominated.
We are convinced that his strength is

else of COMMON sense at St. Louis will
scatter his forces and clear the political
atmosphere. There are anti-McKinley
delegates even in the states whose four
delegates at large are instructed to

sound money in the st. Louis conven-
ton will unite against this candidate
who dares not express an opinion on
the most important subject of the cam
paign, his defeat will be assured on the

A native of Southern Europe, it was in

been no noticeable decrease in the num-

blood from the animals and cause a
large decrease in the milk supply. Such
being the case the matter of prevention
becomes OF much Importance.
REMEDIEs-For this insect must be
either the application to the animals OF
some substance to keep the lilies oil, or
some substance used to kill the flies
and thus lessen their number in that
particular locality. We have found that
the best application to apply to the AMI
mails for keeping the flies oil consists OF
two parts of any cheap oil and one part
of thin tar to which may be added a lit
tie crude carbolic acid. This should be
applied to the backs and sides of the
animals by means of a large brush, and
will keep the flies off for about four
days. Tho method which we practice
for killing the flies consists OF a spray
Of kerosene mechanically mixed with
water or q kerosene emulsion applied at
milking time at night. The mechanical
mixture is obtained by means of a
special ~knapsack pump for such pur-
pose. To make the emulsion take one
part of soul milk and two parts OF kero-
sene, run through a spray pump, pump
ing the mixture back into itself. When
thoroughly mixed dilute with nine
parts of water. The cattle should be
given daily spraying with the emulsion
for a period of eight days after which
the flies will have almost entirely dis
appeared, and the spraying need not be
again repeated until tho flies become
One series of sprayings dur
