1T Was Lady Who Might Have Been
His Wife,
A rather unique instance of absent
mindedness occurred the other evening
on the Jefferson avenue car line, says
the Detroit News-Tribune.
The car was well filled with passen-
gers and as stop was made at Nc
Dougall avenue man stepped off the
back platform, where he had been stand
ing, and the car moved on.
Instantly a wild cry went up from
the late passenger, which broadened
into howl Of despair as the distance
between him and the trolley car
widened. AS he shrieked he also ran
and waved his hands frantically. The
conductor, seeing the shadowy form
in the dimness of the night and hear
ing the unearthly cries, pulled the bell
strap and thus induced the motorman
to halt, which he did with jerk. The
man in pursuit came within hailing
distance.
"What dye want?" shouted the
puncher of pasteboards.
II want-the-lady there!"
gasped the man, swinging his hat at
the open car door. The car having
come to a dead standstill, woman
arose, deliberately walked out of the car
and was received by her breathless es-
cort. who had SO nearly left her to her
fate of missing parcels.
Amid much laughter the next man
who left the car in company with lady
insisted that she walk in front of him
untilvsafely on the ground.

Method of Securing the Useful Arti-
cIes Is Trying One.
Lying on his chest along the boats
deck, the sponge fisher, with his water
glass-a pane set in a box fitted with
handles-loolSs down 40 feet into the
clear depths. With one hand he grasps
and sinks a slender pole, sometimes so
feet in length, fitted at the end with a
double hook. The sponge once discov-
cred, the hook is deftly inserted at the
ROCK base, and by a sudden jerk is de-
tached.
This curt description Of what seems
the simple work of sponge fishing gives
no idea of the real skill and exertion
needed. The eye of the fisher has to be
trained by long experience to peer into
the sea and tell the commercially Valu-
able sponges from those that are worth
less. He must have a deft hand to de-
tach the sponge without tear,
Above all, while doing this with one

strain ON eyes and body is most intense,
to say nothing of the cramped position
and exposure to wind and wet, which,

however, to make it very wide, say not
ever six feet, as some difficulty would
be experienced by the animals in pull
ing out the hay if bound solidly in the
center. Set the posts leaning toward
the center, in order to make the open
ing wider at the bottom than at the
top. This will prevent binding, and
in consequence the hay will readily
settle as it is being eaten away from
below. From about IS inches above
ground to the top of the posts the sides
and ends should be boarded tightly,
making it possible for the animals to
get at the hay only at the bottom.
To make the rack complete a mali
ger must be constructed entirely round
the upright part. This is best accom-
plished by setting four short posts Sc
curely in the ground opposite the cor
ners, and others between to give firm
ness to this part, where pressure is
brought to bear. If the manager is
made slanting and narrow at the bot
tom, it will prevent animals from get
ting in, as they are often tempted to do
in cold weather. Many consider it a
good plan to cover such rack with
shed roof, thus always keeping the hay
dry. This can be done with very little
expenses; and, betteryet, Iwould advise
having a door at the front of it, hung
on hinges, as represented in the illus
tration, so that it could be let down
at will for the insertion of the hay.
This should tend to keep the fodder
dry for the most part in any kind of
weather.-Frederick o. Sibley, i'm N.

ACORN POISONING.

A Cattle Disease Which Is of FIRE.
quent Occurrence in England.
The British board of agriculture
warns stock owners who turn cattle
into places where there are plenty Of
lcorns against the danger of poisoning.
1t says that in the years 1868, 1870 and
1894, which were remarkable for a
large yield of acorns after long, dry
and hot summer, serious losses among
young cattle occurred from outbreaks
of what is known as acorn disease, or
acorn poisoning. Young cattle up to
two years old suffered most severely.
Mich cows and cattle over three years
old were seldom affected. Sheep and
pigs appeared to be unsusceptible to
the poisonous action of the seeds, and
only two or three cases of the disease
we're reported in these animals, while
entire herds of young cattle were at
tackled, and large proportion of them
succumbed. Acorn poisoning is quite
distinct from indigestion due to eating
an excessive quantity of acorns. This
Incidental disorder may occur in ordi
nary seasons when animals are first al
lowed access to pasture where acorns
abound. But the true acorn disease is
distinguished by progressive wasting,
entire loss of appetite, diarrhoea, dis
charge of an excessive quantity of pale
urine, sore places inside the mouth,
discharge from the nostrils and also
from tie eyes, which are always sunk
en-, giving to the animal a peculiar
haggard appearance. No fever is pres
ent from first to last, but, on the con-
trary, the temperature is commonly be-
low the normal standard.

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.


A really good dairy cow can be
proftably kept until she is eight years
old.
Don't allow your cows, young cattle
or sheep to be pinehed in their feed dur
ing the winter.
Do not expect a good milk cow to
become beef fat while she is yielding a
good flow of milk.
AS rule, profitable cow is a good
eater, but some COWS have eyes larger
than their stomachs, like some men.
If the heifer is to develop into a
profitable COW, her first milking period
must be extended as much as possible.
Cows kept in comfortable quarters in
winter eat less, thrive better, and give
more milk than if exposed to cold or
storm.
Those who have had much expert
ence know that there is a great differ
cnce in salts. A sample should always
be thoroughly tried before buying large
quantities, no matter what inducement
may be offered. If it does not suit it
is not wanted at any price-Colman's

STATE OF GOOD ROADS.
Marked Improvement of New Jersey
Public Highways.

Marked Improvement of New Jerseys
Public Highways.
Inhis annualreportju stissued, Henry
I. Budd, state commissioner of public
roads in New Jersey, says: THE state
aid law has stimulated the property
holders of many counties to spend hum
dreds of thousands of dollars upon
their roads, to meet the state appro-
priation."
Under this law the state has paid
since 1892 $466,595 for the improve
Dlent of the highways, which, added to
the amounts spent by counties and in
diyiduals, makes an aggregate expendi-
ture within six years of 81, 100000 for
permanent roads in New Jersey. There
are 10000 miles of roads in the state,
and about 300 miles of the most fire.
quented highways have been improved
permanently, on modern lines. Tempo
rary improvements are being made in
every county. Many good roads
leagues and associations have been
formed. Through the agitation which
they induce they have brought forth
money and labor from their respective
communities.
Smooth, hard roads, beautified by
trees and shrubbery, have developed
under the stimulus of these local
roads leagues. Foot paths and cycle
paths have been created, and the APP
pearance Of various communities have
been so changed that they have be-
come attractive centers of settlement.
'eToo much stress cannot be laid upon
the Importance of these associations
says Commissioner Budd. "There is no
power so useful as that which per-
suades each and every person or COM
munity to do their best to help them
selves by their own labor and contribu-
tions.''
A novel feature of the good roads
movement in New Jersey is the PROPOSE
ton to introduce instruction on road
building into the common schools. The
need Of elementary instruction i'm that
direction is seen every day. The state
report says: "The ignorance that pre-
walls among the average rural residents
regarding the proper manner of repair
ing even the common roads shows @
striking necessity for some kind of
technical instruction, guided by which
our ordinary township authorities will
BIO able to make the best use Of the
cver-present materials for keeping the
roads in proper repair. In travelling
over the country we often see men re-
pairing a miry roadway by throwing
mud from the bitches into the middle

it is a common practice to scrape the
wornolt material, tha5 has been re-

A Wandering Lake.

The Swedish explorer of Central Asia,
Sven Hedin, gives the latest information
concerning the wandering" of Lake
Nor in the Cobb desert, a phenomena
about which contradictory views have
been entertained. He says that Tarim
river, entering the lake from the west,
brings down, during the period of high
water late In summer, a great quantity
of silt, which has the effect of driving
the lake. lying on the level floor of the
desert, toward the southeast. But the
summer wind, drifting the surface sand
and darlening the heavens with dust,
blows generally from the northeast and
1t, too, tends to drive the lake before it.
The combined effect of the urging by
the wind and the river is to force the
lake southwark. Yet Sven Hedin thinks
the migration of the lake is not constant
in direction, but 1t shifts back and forth
Internationally, according as the sir-
cumstances change.
