FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
THE DIFFERENCE.

A dear little boy who was hard at play
Sat down on the ice one day, one day,
Sat down on the ice in a sudden way.
His hands flew up and his feet flew out.
And he felt very sad I haven't doubt;
But he swallowed hard, and he winked
quite fast,
Till as much minute or two had passed.
And never a tear did he shed-not he.
For he was boy, with big, big B,
For he was boy, you see.
Then a dear little girl went down, kee-
thump.
And up came the ground with q funny
jump
And gave her forehead wee little bump.
Then, oh, the wailEg that filled the air!
And auntie and mamma were hurrying
there;
And as many as six big tears came OF.
To find what the noise was all about!
And she ran to be cuddled and kissed. did
she.
For she was girl, with small, small 6,
For she was girl, you see!

DAIRY COW RATION.

Some Valuable Hints Furnished by Prof.

asks some one to formulate a ration for
his dairy COW. He says: For rough

allow them to work over the manure
before hauling to the field. l am max
ing butter at 20 cents per pound and
want the most economical production.
To which Prof. W. A. Henry replies as
follows:
Our correspondent can present
most excellent bill of fare to his COWS,
and with the feeds at the prices named
can still make good living in selling
tutter at 20 cents per pound, pro-

of protein. making the necessity for
bran not quite SO great as if no alfalfa
were fed; on the other hand, bran is
cheap at seven dollars per ton. The
eastern farmer would consider it al

Parsons are of little avail. Give the
cows all they will eat Of the -oughage
just as proposed; then feed the equal Of
ten pounds of shell corn per thousand
pounds of animal, and give four pounds
of wheat bran additional. On this ra-
ton you should get about pound of
butter per COW daily with part Of the
herd fresh in spring and fresh part in
fall. Be very careful to make the best
Use OF the skim milk, for no small part
OF the real profit comes from this. Aim
to feed not over three pounds of skim
milk to one pound of corn to the pig
More milk than this means a waste Of
a most valuable by-product.
With corn at 10 cents per bushel and
pork at three cents per pound, the skim
milk should be worth IS cents per 100
pounds. In its effect on young pigs in
building bone and muscle it is most va
liable. 1t is a necessity III the west
where bone and nuscle-building feeds
are of the highest Importance, because
corn is apt to be overfed.

Whitestone village contains some re-

Duke is beloved by the children of the

school door until recess-time. when he
joins in with the children in their

Exercise for Dairy Cows,

The moderate exercise Of cows has
favorable influence on the quantity
and quality of milk. Heavy and fatigu-
Jag exercise or work dimirishes the
quantity of milk, but the effect Oh its
quality is not so clear or uniform.
This is the conclusion arrived at by
Henkel in Germany, after many eS-
periments and IN exhaustive study Of
the literature of the subject. 1t con-
firms the Judgment of our best Ameri-
can eairyn'en- The health of the cow

ing winter, instead of being kept con-
stantly tied up in close barns. as is

his back and then canters around the
yard with her. Whenever the hen strays
off with her progeny Duke corrals her
from the rest of the flock and drives
her back to the yard. When night
comes the hen roosts upon the dogs

The most remarkable thing about
Duke and the hen is that they seem to
perfectly understand each other. When
the hen begins to cackle just previous
to laying, Duke never leaves her. He

Water for House Plants.

There is far more danger OF giving
house plants too much rather than 100
little water in winter. During the short
days and long nights, with very little
sunlight. on the soil, it is hard to keep
it at temperature where the plants can
grow vigorously. All the surplus water
added lowers the temperature until it
reaches point where the plants barely
exist without making any growth. If
the soil has much vegetable matter
humic acid will be developed at a low
temperature, and this will poison the
plant roots.

WOMAN AND HOME.
LIVE WoMAN'S TOMB.
Remarkable Eccentricity Of = Norwi'


Remarkable Eccentricity of = Norwich
(Conn.) Lady.
Mrs. Mary futile (''Diamond') John
son, formerly q resident of Norwich,
Conn, now of Chicago, for whom a can
servator was recently appointed by re-
quest of her husband and sons, has had
a remarkable grave constructed in her
lot in Yantic cemetery, destined to re-
ceive her body. It is the most costly,
massive, unique and elaborate one in
Connecticut.
Mrs. johnson purchased her ceme
terry lot some time ago and had her
grave made. She is haunted by an
overmastering dread of graveyard
ghouls and robbers, and she had barely
completed her grave when she decided
that it was not strong enough to battle
a possible assault after her, body had
been committed to it.
With corps of skilled professional
workmen she went to work at once to
reconstruct and immensely strengthen
it, carrying on the work clandestinely
in order to forestall opposition on the
part of her conservator and her watch
full husband and sons. The result OF
her craftiness and the dispatch and
dexterity of her workmen was that she
not only accomplished her project with
out berraying her design, but so neatly
that there is not an outward token to
indicate to a casual observer that the
old grave had ever been disturbed.
The grave is in many respects the
most remarkable and wonderfully COLI
trived one probably in New England.
Apparently it is impregnable to assault.
Its floor is huge smoothly chiseled
slab of Rhode Island granite, weighing
more than ton, while similar gigan-
tic slab of stone, which weighs 2,7O0
pounds and can be handled only with
the aid of derrick. forms it's cover.
The walls of the grave are of ce-
mented pressed bricks, solid as ada
nant, and as thick and enduring SEEM
ingly as those of modern fort.
Mrs. johnson is greatly pleased with
the remodeled tomb, and convinced

that after her body is placed between
it's two ponderous granite slabs it will
be absolutely secure.
Not long ago Mrs. Johnson had a
magnificent granite monument erected
on her cemetery lot at a cost of 900,
which is said to be the most ornate,
unique and expensive private NOR
tuary memorial IN New England. It is
a lofty, shapely shaft, handsomely pol
ished and carved, bearing the allegori-
cal figures, also superbly sculptured. of
Faith, Hope arsi Charity. The monu-
ment was erected by famous granite
cutters of Westerly, r. I.
Mrs. Johnson's ruling passion is an
immoderate fondness for diamonds, on
account of which the title of Mrs.
Diamond" johnson was popularity be-
slowed on her more than quarter of a
century ago. At all times she is a.
glitter with the gems from head to
foot, and she rarely appears in public
with less than $4,000 to $4,000 worth
of them displayed on her person.
It is said to be her intention to have
her fabulous store of jewels buried
with her body, fancy that may ac-
count, in part. for her determination
to make her tomb absolutely impreg-
naDle to grave robbers.

THE LOBSTER'S LEGS.
Only Eight Of the Ten Are Generally Csed
for Walking.

Only Eight Of the Ten Are Generally Csed
for Walking.
A Holsters legs all told are ten in num-
Der. But only eight of these are large
ly used for walking. The front pair, or
big claws, have been specialized, as in
tie crab and most others of the higher
crustaceans, into prehensile organs for
catching and crushing the prey. Their
use is obvious. HOLSTERS feed largely
off mollusks of various sorts and other
hard-shelled marine animals; in order
to be able to break or crush the shells
Of these, and SO to get at the softer flesh
within, they have acquired such large
and very muscular nj ppers and pincers.
That is not all, however; not only have
the two front legs been differentiated
and specialized from the eight others in
this manner, but also by a rare excrp-
ton to the symmetry Of the body, tile
right claw has been specialized from
the left, each being intended to per-
form a distinct function. One is d
scissors, the other is a mill; one is a
cutter. the other is cracker.
rs rule, the right claw is the slender
tons or serrated edges on its nipping
faces, and it is rather adapted for Bit
ing and severing than for crushing or
grinding. The left claw, on the other
hand, is usually thicker, heavier and
rounder; its muscles are more power
full. and. in place Of sharp teeth, it has
blunt tubercles or hammers of different
sizes. 1t acts, in fact, more like nut
cracker than like teeth or a saw; ii is
u smashing organ. Nevertheless, you
Will find it interesting to observe, by
noting the Holsters served to you at
table, that this differentiation has hard
ly as yet become quite constant; for
sometimes it is the right claw that dis
plays the hammer-like, nut-crackcr
type, and the left that acts as nipper and
bitter, while sometimes no difference oc-
ours at all. both claws alike being sharp
toothed or blunt-hammered in the same

Well, now, I've fshed for all sorts of
tlsh and in some odd places, but thus
far never climbed into tree to get

questions. John simply replied over
his shoulder: 'All right!'' and we con-
tinued our walk through the FROST
biackened orange trees. which were
just beginning to recover, those that
were alive at all, from the havoc of the
preceding winter.
We passed beyond the plantation
and through the cool shadows of
hammock, where cypress and palmet-
to trees were matted together and a
winding creek was bridged with a sin
gle log. Somewhere along the path
John picked ap his rod and can of
bait. Then we came out upon the
edge of the bayou. Lazy aligators
foated at little distance or stuck
their noses out from their mud beds in
the rushes, and having satisfied them
selves that neither John nor the
stranger had a gun they went on doz-
ing serenely. A heron tapped away
and rested himself in convenient tree.
A moccisin snake rolled from dry log
into the water. None of these Incl
dents disturbed my friend, who led the
way serenely to the foot of big tree
overhanging the still waters of the
bayou. Up this tree we walked by a
regular series of board steps. and at
the top we crept upon well-fastened
platform. thoroughly shaded by the
thick drapery OF moss pendant from
the framework branches: and. thus en-
sconced, John proceeded to business.
and in half an hour we had the finny
wherewithal for delicious supper.
