Keeping Him Down.

While stopping one night at farm
house in Missouri a traveller was aston
ished to see his hostess walk up to her
husband about every Is minutes and
box his ears or give his hair pull. In
the morning the guest, seeing the wom-
an alone, asked an explanation of her
strange conduct. and her reply was.
"You see. stranger, me and the old
man has been fightin for ten years to
see who shall boss this 'ere ranch, and
have got him cowed, but if I should
let up on him for day he would turn
on me again, and my work would all
go for nOthin. New York Tribune.

"When was little girl, learning
to hem, they used to tell me to be
careful how | turped the corners"
says Kate w. Hamilton; "that the
difference between nice work and
botch lay in turning corners smooth
ly. And it is just SO yet. You see,
our lives are full of corners-places
where we can't go straight ahead,
but must go around. And the people
we meet all have their peculiarities
and sharp angles, and it doesn't do to
be always running against the little
point of temper here and the jagged
end of prejudice there. If we are
going to live peaceably and do any
good in the world, we have got to
keep watch for corners and learn to
turn them smoothly

OUR FARMERS.
ROOM ON THE ROOST.

When there are a hundred chicks in
a poultry house that is say 10x1O feet
there may be plenty of room and to
spare, but as the chicks will be grow
ing, every day finds them needing
more room and spreading out. There
will arrive time when they must
either have another house or the
number of chicks must be reduced.
The best way to do this is to begin
culling at the bottom and using them
on the table or send to market. 1t is
claimed that a dozen grown fowls are
sufficient in a house 10X1C feet, but IL
is difficult to make some believe that
such a house will not accommodate
about twenty five. AS the least val
liable ones can be removed when very
small it is not difficult to observe
those that remain, and as they ap-
proach maturity the owner will know
fairly well which will be his most
promising pullets. The cockerels
should not be retained day longer
than is necessary to distinguish the
sex. The more room given those
that remain the faster they will grow.
Crowding will dwarf lot of pullets
and greatly retard them in many re-
SpectS.

THE CLIMATE OF ALASKA.

The climate of all that portion of
the coast that is bathed by the Japan
current, extending from the southern
boundary of the territory northward
and westward to the island of Atoo, d
distance of nearly $500 miles, is re-
markably bland and free from ex-
tremes of heat and cold throughout
the year. It is rainy, however, but
the rain is of good quality, gentle in
its fall, filling the fountains of the
streams, and keeping the whole land
fresh and fruitful, while anything
more delightful than the shining
weather after the rain-the great
round sun days of June, July and Au-
gust-can hardly be found elsewhere
An Alaska mid summer day is a day
without night. In the extreme northern
portion of theterritory the sun does
not set for weeks, and even as far
north as Sitka and Fort Wrangel it
sinks only few degrees below the
horizon, SO that the rosy colors of the
evening blend with those of the morn
ing, leaving no gap of darkness be-
tween. Nevertheless, the full day
opens slowly. At midnight, from the
middle point between the cleaning
and the dawn, low are of light is
seen stealing along the horizon, with
gradual increase Of height and span
and intensity of tone, accompanied
usually by red clouds, which make
striking advertisement of the SUMS
progress long before he appears above
the mountain tops.

One day, as a teamster was slowly
working his way through quagmire
commonly known as country road,
he espied hat in one OF the ruts in
front of him. AS the headgear APP
peared to be i'll fairly good condition
he dismounted TO pick it up. AS he
raised the hat he was astonished to
hear voice coming from under it
exclaim: "Hold on! That's my hat!"
AS soon as he had gathered his breath
and wits the teamster asked, "What
are you doing down there?" which
brought forth the reply: 'I'm in big
luck to be where [ am. There's a
horse underneath me.''

BEN BUTTER WORTH,S SCAR.

Commissioner of Patents Butter
worth carries long scar on the first
! finger of his left hand which recalls
an interesting story of his juvenile
career. Some years before the war
young Ben Butterworth, the son of a
good Quaker, who was an uncompro
missing abolitionist, was going TO
school in southern Ohio.
1t happened that one day in school
young Ben in thoughtless moment
of juvenile restlessness placed his
hand on the back of the seat imme-
diately in front Of him. The occu-
pant of that seat had no use for
''nigger lover" as the abolitionists
were dubbed in that day, and he gave
sweeping dash with his jack knife
in Ben's direction, cutting long cash,
which is father to the scar which the
commissioners now bears.
Young Ben gave such yell as
boy of his age and healthy lungs might
be expected to emit under the cir
cumstances, but while the teacher
and scholars were eager to see what
the trouble was, there was little evil
dence that it was generally condemn
ed
The little abolitionist had got what
he deserved in the opinion of many,
and SO strong was the feeling against
him the teacher declined to punish
the boy who made use of his lack
knife.
Years after that incident found Ben
Butterworth and the boy who had
cut him working side by side in poll
tics, both stanch republicans, the user
of the jack knife as uncompromising
ly opposed to the institution of slav-
cry as was the victim of it's sharp
blade. The incident of the cutting
was recalled.
'Do you know" said Mr.. Butter
worth to his youthful foe, but now
friend, "after you cut me L made up
my mind when grew up L would lick
you. e I wonder if l ought to do it."
81 wouldn't be surprised if you
could do it, Ben," replied his friend,
who was several years his senior.
But the two men made the Incl
dent subject for pointing a moral
and for liberation in regard to the
views of others. They both conclu-
ded that most of the differences of
political opinion are the results of
different training and different de-
grees of information and moral per-
ception.
Only time could determine who
was right. So the boys who were
enemies, as men became friends, and
there are no better friends than they
today.

Success in dairying must depend
not only on having COWS able to give
a liberal mess and keep at it, but also
on the kind of mixers employed. A
careless, lazy mixer will easily lose
more than his wages during the time
he is employed. Not only this, but
he will quickly convert really good
COW into poor one. The milk which
the careless mixer leaves in the I'D
der is always that which has the larg-
est amount Of butter fats. If it is not
drawn the fat is re absorbed into the
COW and helps to dry her off. The
difficulty in getting help that can be
depended on is the great drawback in
running large dairy farm. 1t is also
no light job to milk ten, twelve or
more COWS every day. 1t will make
any mans hands tired until he be-
comes used to it.

THE CAPITOL BURNED.
Pennsylvania's.S State House at Harris burg Totally Destroyed-Some Mar
 row Escapes-Records Saved.

Harrisburg, Pa, Feb. "A fire which started in the rooms of Lieut.-Gov. Lyon some time this morning, swept through the ancient capitol of Pennsylvania and within an hour and half after the breaking out of the flames, the structure was in ruins. The senate and house were about to recenyene after their afternoon session when the fire burst through the walls and the law makers were driven for their lives to the open air.
 As far as known no one was killed, but a number of people were in the building trying to save furniture and other effects when the dome fell in, and it is possible that some one may be buried under the ruins. Quite number of people were cut and bruised or half Smothered by smoke, but no one was seriously hourt.
 The most valuable of the state and leg islative records which were in the build ing were saved, but the records and sta tistics of thes departmept.-of public in- structon, which included much valuable information bearing upon the public schools of the state. were destroyed. : ; The. leGisla ture will find ternporsry home tomorrow, the senate in the roms of the supreme court and the house in the United States district court, in the postoffice building and sthe Legislature will also take steps to have the capitol rebuilt
 The total loss is .estip,ated at nearly a million dollars, on which there is an in- surance of but $2O0OOO The origin of the fire is unknown.
