Printers JargOn.

Many people are not aware that
printers have language OF their own,
uninlelligible to the uninitiated. The
following ssup-to- date" orders give an
idea of the printing office lingo:
Chilly, put Sir Charles Tupper on
the galley, and finish up that murder
you commenced yesterday. Set up the
ruins Of Herculaneum and distribute
the smallpox. Lock up Laurier and
slide Mccarthy into the hell box and
leave the pie alone until after dinner.
Put the ladies' form TO press, and &c
to the devil and put him TO work on
Deacon Fogg's article on Eternal Pun
ishment." Now this is all simple
enough when transferred into English,
and not nearly SO rough as the reader
may imagine.-Mirr0r.

girl, as she heard footsteps approach

hurrledly out to see if her grandfather

glad light shone in her lovely eyes as
she afectionately met him.
"Grandfather!" "My darling," the
old man whispered "home at last"
"Yes, l have waited SO long fol-

And there beneath the stars, stand

OF meeting was over, the old man

was so accommodating in the office his
employer soon looked on him as one

had deep love for this lovely youth.
Harrie overcame every obstacle and
glided through the labyrinths of incon'

nobler thoughts every day. He loved

As Harrie held her hand in his,
and beheld those beautiful blue eyes

passed over his heart. He could find

After that, take them only when you find
yourself suffering from indigestion. There
are many medicines offered for the same

If it brought them nearer Him.

Song and life in sweet accord,
Resting in the darkness dreary

Had His Spirit ever sought them,
TO be sighted or denied?
Had that dear song ever brought them
Closer to the Saviour's side?

The Feed and Cnre of Pheasants.
Country Gentlemaa)


Editors Country Gentleman:
What is the best way to feed and care
Tor young pheasants? Il. u. u
Philadelphia.
We submitted this inquiry to DR.. Ed
ward Moore. Of Albany, who has written
the following reply:
After considerable experience in rais-
ing pheasants, and having tried cutie
n variety OF food stuffs. incudir z patent
feeds | am convinced that a sure method
is best and cheapest. and the following
wiz give irst-class results: or course the
mother hen should be kept free from
lice. and the young pheasants should
be in an orchard or under shade. When
the pheasant eggs are Matched, be sure
that the young wild birds arc not in
place whore they can get out Of box and
wander off andf get lost Then, as soon
as the hatch Is fairly complete, take the
hen TO a coop and Dat her In 1t, give her
the young pheasants and have btte
yard of boards OF fine mesh wire in front
81 coon. TO prevent the little birds from
wandering of; the boards of wire need
be no more than 10 or u inches, and
after three to five days take II away
and let them run free. They Will have
learned the coll of the hen, and they
wifi be Just as tractable as little chickens.
Young pheasants should be fed FOR the
first two months Of their life custard
made of two eggs 10 a cupful OF milk,
well beaten and baked sold. Feed bread
and milk After they are older, give
Whole wheat, green food and plenty of
fresh water They are very fond OF
little chopped onion in custard occasion
ally. but it should be chopped fine. Feed
three or four times day.
They are no more trouble than chickens
to raise. and America should soon be
stocked with this grand game bird. They
care for little or no shelter. and VIII
stay out in winter when ii is 20 degrees
below zero. This country could grow
millions of them. and our markets In the
season should abound with them. They
are beautiful, hardy and useful and /
trust our country gentle men will rapidly
stock their preserves with the English
ring-neck pheasant
