BRAN A VALUABLE FOOD.

Bran Is much more highly thought
of as feed than ii used TO be. But 1t
has its limitations and should not be
relied upon entirely when fed alone. 1t
Is an excellent feed 10 give TO animals
that have a surfeit of corn. and should
always form part of the ration Of
fattenlng sheep.
Fine wheat middlings have all OF
the cxcellencies of bran. and will be
eaten In greater quantities by fatten-
ing hogs. The bran and wheat mid
dlings furnish greater proportion of
albuminoids than corn has, and there
fore supplement its deficiencies.
Wheat bran is an excellent Alternative
for horses fed on timothy hay in win
ter. 1t will keep their digestion good
and will be all the better If table
spoonful Of old process oil meal is ad-
ded to each mess. Wheat middlings
are not as laxative as bran. and are
better therefore for horses that have
to work hard. though both the bran
and middlings contain much OF the
nutriment that builds up bone and
muscle and increases strength.-Col-
mans Rural World.

Edibles From Refuse.

All visitors TO Paris rave about the
drMcacy of the food and daintiness
of the service. They do not know some
of the ways followed by restaurants
and chefs. At rhe lower c.ass OF Paris
restaurants very ingenious fraud has
been In practice for half a century.
They make beef tea or boullion with
out bcef--warm water colored and fla
vorcd with burned OniOns and caramel
as boullion. TO supply the little grease
bubbles which coril0lsseurs demand
was the only trouble. Finally cook
hit upon the ingenious device of bow
Ing a spoonful OF fresh oil over the
soup. The oil Immediately forms in
tiny beads on the surface and there Is
your soup. Nowadays every cafe OF
this sort has its employee aux yeux
de boulllon, whose sole duty Is TO make
the little eyes or bubbles Of grease on
the soup.
Parisians are immensely f.cl of
ham, so much so that the number of
hams eaten in Paris could not lie fur
nished 10y nil the pigs killed in France.
even a.iowir.; for the shoulder as well
as the leg being cured-this being the
French practice. The demand Is sup
piled by buying up old ham bt'Ies and
inserting them into pieces
OF picked pork, which are trimmed
into shape. covered with grated bread
crusts and then sod for hIni. In this
way bone does duty for hundreds OF
times. still, the supply OF bones was
limited, and II was not incttlvenient
to be put ont II ones nelgllbor did not
return thc ham hone which the dealer
relied upon securing the day before to
recover for you. So man conceived
she idea Of manufacturing ham bones
wholesale. and made forittne from
the sale OF these artificial foundations.
therefore, ham Is plentiful

ART IN AGRICULTURE.

Art in agriculture is coming to be
more and more noticeable every day.
With the advent Of new methods, inn
proved implements and a wider knowl-
edge Of the field, the agriculturist Is
rising higher In the field o< useful or
ornamental art as the years go by.
We may say that sharp competition is
no small factor I'm this progressive
movement. says the agricultural stu
dent. Take, for example. the manner
In which certain products are prepared
for the open market. The Improvement
in the condition of certain dairy pro-
ducts and fruit OH market in the last
few years Is truly wonderful. The
reason, OF course is that people always
buy that article which is put up in the
most tasteful and attractive style, and
are willing to pay little more for 1t.
With this change comes a more whole
some effect upon the article Itself, and
disease is much less disseminated
through food ut the present time than
formerly. Greater precautions are
taken now than ever before i'm pre-
venting the spread of contagious dis
eases in tl,ls manner. and with the in
crease in the size of the cities and the
greater liability to ill-health. these pre-
cautions cannot be observed too care
fully. Thus the agricultura!ist,to be suc-
cessful. must keep right up TO date in
his readings and methods.-Mirror and

Ina Story of a Poem.

One Of the most tosrciling poems on
prison life ever written was from the
pen or Colonel III. c. Parsons, a gifted
lawyer and railroad promoter, who
died last June at his home in Virginia.
Previous to moving to Virginia Col
onal Parsu,s defended a young man
who was accused OF murder. The evi-
dence was seemingly entirely against
the prisoner, but his counsel was firm
i'm his belief OF his innocence, and,
though the necessary evidence to make
thrt fact plain was not brought ont mt
the tidal. the CAonel Succeeded in
making the jury feel as he did, and q
verdict for acquittal was rendered.
The young man had been in jail for
several weeks. and, after the eongratn-
lations mt his release were over. his
counsel asked him: "Well. how does 1t
fesl to be freey' What the young
mans answer was no one but the Col
tnel knew, but he was inspired by 1t
to write a very beautiful poem. which
was at the time Of It's first publication
very widely copied.

Stepped Il OH.

1t Is commonly accepted theory
that a man steps three feet, and many
a tract OF land has been stepped orr

the West they obviate the difficulties
OF surveys by the land being divided
into sections, but i'm Pennsylvania
much of the properly. especially in the
moainta,ls. must still be described by
metes and bounds.
In one of the counties in western
Pennsylvania are two brothers, one OF
whom is tall and lank. the other short
and fat. Many years ago they pur-
chased a tract Of morptain land, cali
ing for mile square. They divided
tire labor or measuring it, one stepping
off one side. the other the other side.
Then they fenced it in and were per-
fecny satisfied until recently, when
suit was brought to recover consider
able tract of land. Each brobhor swore
that he knew the measurement TO be
right and told him ii had been done.
Then, as the spectators saw the short
legs of the one, scarcely long enough
TO reach the floor when Inc sat in
chair. and the elongated extrcmities ef
the other. there was general laugh,
in which the Judge and attorney joined.
Upon surveying 1t was found that one
line was mile and a half long and the
oGiher only little over half a mile.

GATHERING THE RETURNS.

all four blanks, and Il policeman takes
them to Police Headquarters, and
quickly returns for others. Thus the

porters with pencils sharpened ut both

out by the superintendent, taken down
by the newspaper men and forwarded
to their editors as rapidly as possible.
By O'Clock the returns come thick
and fast, and nothing is heard but the
scratching Of pencils and the footsteps
OF racing messengers. The commits
sioners soon go to their private Off
ccs. for they know that anxious candi-
dates will speedily be calling to learn
their fate, although. a very fair idea
has spread abroad by o or 10 o'clock as

the election of November, 1894. every
body knew that Tammany was beaten
long before that hour.
But the fun CT the street. which is
now beginning, is not for that band OF
reporters at Headquarters. nor for
those other bands Of writer's in the
newspaper Offices downtown. who,
with almost superhuman diligence and
endurance, are tabulating and putting

The tenement house districts have

dancing about the fires. They have
learned long ago the outlines or the re-
suit and those on the successful side
are rejoicing in their tumultuous way,

the evening advances the excitement
spreads to Broadway and uptown. The
newspapers will issue extras every
hour or so from o p. m. to in the
