Last Saturday, a very Interesting
scene was witnessed IN the infant
department of the Incarnate Word
Academy of this city. The semi
annual examinations at the estab-
ment were then begun.
The little misses claimed the
Opening day, and their eager faces
told of the importance they attached
10 the ordeal. But if to them the day
was one of responsibility and anx-
iety, to the lookers-on it was one
of genuine enjoyment, for, from first
to last, the little girls showed such
animation aud their answering was
so clear and quick that it was a
source of pleasure to listen to them
The scholars of this department
range between FIVE and twelve years.
Each, in her respective class, did
wonderfully we'll and gave such
bright, ready answers that an obser-
yer cannot bat see how much pains
the good Sisters take in teaching
them.
The reading, spelling and geogra-
ply were very good but the subject
in which the different classes excel
led was arithmetic. Even quite
small children worked remarkably
well mentally in the fundamental
rules, and deserve the greatest credit
The parents OF the little girls can
well be proud of them. for the =
animation they have just stood i
one of the best the writer has seen
voung children undergo.
Let them encourage the little
ones to attend school punctually and
they will be amply repaid by their
children's success.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Carrots are delicacies to horses and
cattle. When animals are sick and re-
fuse food they may sometimes be
tempted to eat carrots, which shows
that they stand at the head Of all root
crops as food for the stock.
The freezing point Of potatoes is sO2
degrees, and they must not be kept in
the light. Keep them at q temperature
between "a and 40 degrees (the lower
the temperature the better), so as to
prevent sprouting.
When large numbers of stock are fed
together the stronger will continually
crowd away the weaker ones, who fail
to procure enough food to be in good,
thrifty condition. Such an unequal di
vision causes an increase in the cost. 1t
Is better to divide up into reasonably
small lots, according TO size, age and
condition.
A veteran broncho breaker gives the
following as sure way to cure horse
OF kicking: 'STie one of his forelegs
with rope to his hind leg on the other
side. AS soon as he starts to kick he
jerks his front leg off the ground and
he goes down in a heap. Two or three
doses of that kind will cure the worst
case you can find"
The larger the animnl the more it
costs to maintain it, as a rule, henceit
will cost much more in proportion to
weight to produce hog weighing 800
pounds than one weighing 100 pounds.
Consequently there is a larger profit per
pound from the small hog than from
the large one, and the farmer can keep
more small hogs than he can of large
ones.

Lyman j Gage.

Tho selection of Lyman Gage to be
secretary Of the treasury embraces
nothing to encourage the people that
something is going to be done for their
relief. Government is not instituted
for the purpose of taking care of it's
citizens, but legislation and executive
policy can be directed so as to be
helpful or hurtful. Mr.. Gage Is a
banker. That fact, standing alone
implies no special qualification for the
treasury portfolio. a very good
banker may be al ignorant or IN
different man as to the general prin-
ciples of finance. But Mr.. Gage is
said to be a reader and thinker on IL
nance, besides being dealer in mon
ey. He agrees with the financial the
cries of the ultra gold men. Nice
things are said Of him.
The direct announcement that he
is to be in the Cabinet has started the
organs to gushing over him. A goou
deal of space has been occupied to
say that he is great man and viii
make an admirable Secretary of the
Treasury, but no bill Of particulars is
given. Mr.. Gage will no doubt be
found carrying out whatever agree
ment Mr.. Hanna may have made with
New York Gold men, expressed or
implied. He may be, in accordance
with the st. Louis platform, in favor
Of an international monetary con-
ference when it is sure that ons can.
not be had. Mr.. Gage is agreeable to
the Eastern gold men or he would not
be inted.--Cincinnati Enquirer
