SAILED THE COW TO A FAIR.
And This Cape Colder Captain Got First
ri

And This Cape Colder Captain Got First
Prize In Special Glass.
When 1 was down on Cape Cod,
heard an amusing story about an old
sea captain and his COW. Captain Pat
terson, after sailing the sea for more
than 40 years, finally retired to little
farm near Barnstaple, where he settled
down, with horse, cow and two or
three dozen hens. His COW, though a
lank and rather stubborn creature, was
said to come from very good stock, and
when the Barnstaple people took it into
their heads to have fair Captain Pat
terson determined to exhibit his cow.
But when the day came for driving
her to the grounds the COW showed that
she had mind of her own and would
not bulge step beyond the farmyard
gate. In vain the old captain tugged at
the rope, pummeled her sides and push
ed her TANKS. The COW wanted to go
20 pasture and was bound she wouldn't
go to the fair.
Captain Fatterson's patience was
very nearly gone, when suddenly an
idea occurred to him. Though he was
not strong enough himself to force the
cow to 60 to the fair his training sug-
gested something that was. Tying the
cow to the gatepost, he went up into
the loft of his barn and threw down an
old sail stepped to a dory mast. Then
he put horses blanket belt through an
iron ring, strapped the belt around the
p0y fpd 10 If bo CT I,n
ring and bound the mast to the side of
the COW with some 30 feet of rope.
The wind blew 'quartering," and
when the captain united the cow and
raised the sail the canvas swelled out
over the cows back, and away she went
"sidling" down the road, mooing and
plunging and trying to stop herself in
vain. Captain Patterson seized her tail,
and using it as rudder guided her
skillfully in the right direction. With
every fresh puff Of wind the obstinate
COW would be hurried along faster,
while the dust blew up in clouds and
the sail tapped and tugged as Captain
Patterson held to the mainsheet with
one hand and the cows tail with the
other
1t was hard voyage for both Of
them, but not a long one, and when
they came in sight of the fair ground
everybody ran out to see the remarkable
sight of COW being sailed through the
streets like ship. Cheers and laughter
filed the air, and when the captain
finally whirled his COW around at the
gate Of the fair ground and brought her
neatly cup into the wind" the shout
that arose might have been heard two
miles away.
Unfortunately Captain Patterson's
Cow did not take one of the prizes for
blooded stock, but the captain himself
was given special prize by the fair
commissioners for "the best advice for
getting balky cattle to market. Out

FOOD IN THE ARCTIC.
Birds Have No DifRculty Finding It In the
Snow.

SNOW
The number of birds that go to the
arctic regions to breed is vast beyond
conception. 7" They go not by thousands,
but by millions, to rear their young on
the tundra. The cause which attracts
them is because nowhere in the world
does nature provide at the same time
and in the same place "such lavish
prodigality of food That tie barren
swamp of the tundra should yield food
supply SO great as to tempt birds to
make Journeys Of thousands of miles to
rear their young in a land Of plenty,
only to be found beyond the arctic cir
Gle, seems incredible. The vegetation
consists of cranberry, cloudberry and
crowberry bushes. Forced by the per-
petual sunshine of the arctic summer
these bear enormous crops of fruit. But
the crop is not ripe until the middle and
end of the arctic summer, and If the
fruit eating birds had to wait until it
was ripe they would starve, for they
arrive on the very day of the melting of
the snow. But each year the snow de-
sends on its immense crop of ripe fruit
before the birds have time to gather it.
It is then preserved beneath the snow,
perfectly fresh and pure, and the melt
ing of the snow discloses the bushes
with the unconsumed last years crop
hanging on them or lying, ready to be
eaten, on the ground. The frozen meal
stretches across the breadth of Asia It
never decays and is accessible the mo-
ment the snow melts. Ages have taught
the birds that they have only to fly to
the arctic circle to find such a store Of
"crystallized foods as will last them
till the bushes are once more forced into
bearing by the perpetual sunlight. The
same heat which frees the fruit brings
into being the most prolific insect life
in the world. The mosquito swarms on
the tundra. No European can live there
without veil after the snow melts The
gun barrels are black with them, and
the cloud often obscures the sight. Thus
the insect eating birds have only to open
their mouths to fill them with mosqui-
toes, and the presence of swarms of ten
der warblers, of cliff chaffs, pipits and
wagtails in this arctic region is &C
counted for-New York Evangelist

FatteninR Calves.

The first question which a butcher
asks about calf offered for the sham
bles is how it has been fed. If it has
been allowed to suckle the cow, the
calf is in his opinion all right, and will
dress as well as it looks. But this de-
pending on sucking, though good for
the calf, helps to dry up the COW, and
to make her uneasy when the calf is
taken from her. The advantage Of the
sucking process is that the calf gets
its food slowly, and always warm. The
slowness with which the calf gets the
milk, and the muscular effort of the
mouth required to get it, mixes more
saliva with the nutrition and insures
better digestion. But the owner of the
cow may properly insist that the calf
shall not run with its dam, sucking a
little every hour or two. Give it two
meals per day, as nearly twelve hours
apart as possible, and the last few
minutes milk the richest part Of the
milk, the strippings, into a pail. 1t is
very rare that calf will get from the
udder all that the human hand will
do. It is this retention Of the strip
pings in the udder that tends to dry
COWS so quickly when their calves
suckle them.-EXchange

Paris is excited over an American

of third Swindle, though twas more
joke than a fraud. A party of four
young bloods dined one evening, not
wisely but too well and too expensive
ly. at his establishment After mag
nlhcent repast in private room there
was a dispute about who should pay
and the proprietor was sent for. Each
of the diners declared that he was there
as the guest of the other three. The
dispute went on in a jocose fashion
until the restaurant keeper threatened
to call the police unless his money was
forthcoming. The four young men were
annoyed at this suggestion. "Is that
the way you treat gentlemen?" exclaim-
ed one of the party. "Now, see here.
Since we are out for lark propose
that we blindfold you, Mr.. Proprietor,
and the one of us whom you catch first
will pay for the supper and for two
more bottles of champagne" The res
taurant keeper agreed. He was secure
ly blindfolded, and he groped about the
apartment in vain for a quarter of an
hour. Then he pulled off the bandage to
find that the four revelers had fed.

The collapse of a bank Is always a
of which can never be measured In
mere pecuniary loss. 1t requires some
thing besides columns of figures to ad-
eQuately represent the deplOrable re-
suits of such a catastrophe as the
wrecking of the Globe Savings Bank Of
Chicago. The damage to business in
the resultant loss of confidence in bank
ing institutions and the general demor-
aliZatiOn of the credit structure upon
which 80 per cent. of our transactions
are based cannot be accurately calcu-
lated In figures. The failure of the
Globe Savings Bank reveals startling
record of official perfidy and dishonor.
Seldom does q mere business collapse
disclose such a depth of moral rotten
ness involving such gross betrayals of
trusts that men ordinarily hold sacred.
The story Of the wreck is black with
the most corrupt political jobbery. The
deeper it is probed the more offensive
becomes the stencil to the nOstrils Of
honest men. The State Of Illinois
should probe the affair to the bottom to
the end that the blame for the deplora-
BILE condition of affairs may be placed
where it belongs and the culpable par
ties severely punished. The interests
of honest banking, the interests Of the
State Institutions whose funds were
jeopardized, and the rights Of those
whose savings were engulfed ia the
maelstrom of political jobbery and
criminal peculation, all demand that
the investigation be made rigidly and
promptly. The people desire to know
if they have any protection in law from
such fragrant betrayals Of trust by
those who have committed to them the
savings of the poor and the funds of
State institutions.
