A cbtld,tke pair.

The grand duke and duchess of
Hesse enjoy playing the role Of SOW
ereign more than any other European
prince or princess. Those who live
about the court ut Dramstadt speak of
their efforts in the right direction, ow-
ing to their extreme youthfulness, as
touching to behold. The grand duke
has lately become director of the
Dramstadt opera house, very serious
director indeed. When the affairs of
state are not pressing too heavily upon
them, the young couple spend their
time playing tennis, dancing and, be it
whispered, are enamored Of the simple
delights of playing Consequences

Lady's Pictorial.
Anxieties of q Lighting Plant Man.
The management and control of
electric generators often puts severe
strain on the attention of the electri-
clan in charge. This is especially the
case in England, where atmospheric
conditions are more variable than in
this country. In the city of London
supply station, a cloud passing over
the face of the sky, or the presence Of
the least fog will put on an instantan-
cous load equal to 200 or 300 horse
power, during daylight hours, and an
emergency staff of men on duty, but
within instant call, is always in readi-
ness to meet such demands. Then
there is always sudden demand for
supply of current when large numbers
of lights are switched on together, and
as sudden @ cessation of demand when
they are switched of: The eye of the
electrician, therefore, has to be con-
stantly on his indicator. The dynamo
must be regulated according to the
least variation in the call for current,
or there would be serious hitch. In
addition to the care and watchfulness
outside contingencies which may in
stantly throw whole town into dark
ness. A few weeks ago some men in
a town in Westmoreland had been cut
ting q drain in street which inter-
sected the wire conducting the local
supply of electric current. Just be-
fore leaving they managed to cut the
wire about half through, and then COW
cred it up without saying anything
about it. For a while all went we'll,
and there was no sign of any Interrupt
ton. Suddenly the wire gave way,
and in a moment every light in the
place went out. The responsibility
that rests upon the manager of q sta
ton under such conditions as these,
can easily be understood, and it need
not be matter of surprise IL many
men become nervous, excitable and
unhinged under the strain.

A Hens Feline Pets.


Queer Pets of Motherly old
SDeckled Hen.
William Ohler,. Of Bethel, Conn,
owns an old speckled hen that has a
heart as tender as her flesh is tough.
Last week she adopted two kittens
that were deserted by their unnatural
mother.
The old cat left her offspring in the
barn where tehy, were born and did
not return for several days. The
speckled hen was sitting on nest
Of eggs nearby. After the cat disap-
peared the kittens began to meow
plaintively. The speckled hen, cack-
ling and clucking softly, strutted over
to the kittens and tried to comfort
them. She huddled them under her
wings, cooling hen-fashion, and did her
best to tell them that she would be u
mother to them.
That night, and for several days
thereafter, the speckled hen watched
over the kitchen ceaselessly. Her own
INST of eggs was neglected. She COW
cred her foster children with her
wings, gave them good advice and an
occasional scolding in hen language,
and tried frequently to induce them to
eat worm or q bug. The kittens
grew weaker and weaker day after
day for lack of proper nourishment,
and then
The cat came back minus an eye
and considerable fur. She tried to an
proach the babies, but the tough old
speckled hen would not allow her.
She few at the cat, cackling fiercely
and striking tabby with her stump
spurs and wings. The cat was driven
away every time she ventured near
the kittens.

Racks for Feeding Hay.

HeeOln3
Since we have been in the sheep
business we have seen scores OF diff
ferent patterns for racks, some Of
which were quite elaborate and ex-
pensive. The margin in the sheep in.
dustry, it is well to remember, is mar
row, and the provisions Of racks for
profitable feeding must necessarily be
In keeping, as to the cost, with this
fact. One important point In the con.
struction of hay racks for sheep Is
that thoy be SO made that the animal
can eat them without rubbing OF
rluch wool or getting hayseed into the
fleece. The rack that will allow sheep
to feed without loss from either Of
these causes Is never a very bad one.
A rack costs as much as the sheep
will cause the owner to figure on the
blue grass sod or the fence corner as
4 feeding place before he makes the
Investment. One successful sheep man
whom we know has no racks at all,
but feeds from sled or wagOnb0x Oh
the sward or in the hazel thicket. Fod-
der If fed on clean snow or grass. is
as convenient as If fed from racks.
Hay is most conveniently fed without
waste from racks with Stats SO close
as only to permit the sheep to put his
nose through and not tile whole head.
We have now before US paper con-
taiLing the cuts of some racks that
would make an ordinary western sheep
man scratch his head with d!smay, for
they can certainly cost not less than
SO apiece. These racks are in barn
costing way up in the thousands and
the sheep live in the barn all winter
without exercise. The business in the
hands Of the average farmer would
admit Of no such expense. although
the man who gets big price for
lambs for breeding stock can perhaps
ind some usefulness in these more
elaborate designs. Keeping sheep On
the farm, however, simply means keep
ing them comfortably, and at the same
time as cheaply as possible.-The

Relaxing Food for Horses.

1t is good plan to give horses some
relaxing food, even when they are at
work. They may not need It all the
time, but they require 1t occasionally
and frequently to regulate digestion.
Several kinds Of food may be used,
according as the one or the other Of
these may be convenient. Oil cake
makes very cheap and suitable food.
A handful fed along with the oats
will produce excellent results, but
when horses work hard care must be
taken not to feed too much lest the
bowels relax overlnuch. Oil cake is
particularly helpful as food for
brood mares, and also for colts. 1t is
rich in nitrogen. and is therefore good
for growth. Wheat bran is also excel
lent for the digestion of the horse.
1t may be given with some freedom,
and may be fed dry when the horse
has time to eat it. Field roots are leo
good. They exercise wonderful in
fuence on the digestion. They tone
up an animal. 1t seldom happens that
things go seriously wrong with domes-
tic animals when they are getting field
roots. Turnfps are good for horses,
although they are seldom fed 20 them.
Carrots are excellent. We nave a
great state for growing carrots, and
because of this we should grow them
every year. There is no class of AMI
mails to which they can be fed with
more advantage than to horses.
From two to eight quarts q day may
be fed according to the requirements,

t order her to discontinue it. He told
her that her bad complexion, dyspepsia
nervousness and occasional paipitation
of the heart all came from one cause
and that was coffee drinking. The good
man went on further to say" My child
ifyou were as strong as your husband
and had the miles of outdoor walking to
do that be has daily, you could drink
one cup of coffee, or perhaps two, at
breakfast and dinner without any very
bad effects, but the same poisonous aka i.
lods exist in coffee as our found in to
bacco, whiskey, strychine and morphine.
There is not 80 great proportion of
them in coffee as in the other drugs, but
a sufficient amount exists to seriously
injure anyone whose constitution is
little below par. All of these drugs can
be used for time by perfectly healthy
people, but it their use is persisted in
long enough, the human body finally
gives evidence of the effect of the steady
poison, and many people who do not
know this fact die because of their un-
natural habits. fyou could use a hot
drink in the morning made from the

vided for the use of man, it would salts

the kind that old doctor referred to is
found in Postum Coffee, made from
grains by the Postum Cereal Co. Linn. of

the discontinuance of unnatural drinks

facts more plainly in the body than
words can be made to express. Grocers
furnish it and experience teaches that it
goes about three times as far as coffee.

A Surprise.

During the absence of D. l.. Bristol at
Owosso on Monday, the people of Morrice
and vicinity made arrangements to give him
a surprise and warm reception upon his re-
turn in the evening.
The activity and completeness of the
preparations can be attested to by all who
were present. The front yard was lighted
and set with long tables. A short program
was given, after which Rev. Barnum, act
ing in behalf of the people of the district,
presented Mr.. Bristol with complete set of
Dickens works and fine Morocco volume
of Bryant's poems. Then the company, to
the number of about one hundred and fifty,
were served with ice cream and cake.
The evening was very enjoyable one,
and long to be remembered. The surprise
was for the people of the community and
was intended for all, and we hope no one
will feel sighted or wronged IL those who
worked so hard to make it the grand sue
cess that 1t was, did not hapen to speak to
