Feeding Calves.

The matter of feeding calves would
seem to be no trick at all; but really
the health of the calf depends upon
the way it is fed. Some calves, like
infants, are small and puny, while
others are strong and hearty. The
puny calf should be allowed to run
with the COW couple of days before
trying to feed it; but the strolg calf,
after sucking once, may be safely
taken away from the cow and fed. 1t
should be given fresh milk until it
has we'll learned the manner of drink
ing, when milk may be skinned after
standing twelve hours. 1t should be
warmed to the temperature of cows
milk when first drawn.
When first trying to teach the calf
to drink, put two fingers in his mouth
and with the right hand gently push
his head into the pail. 1t is natural
for calves to look up for their milk,
and this seems to be the most difficult
part in teaching them to drink. After
they begin to suck the fingers and
draw the milk, the fingers may be
gradually withrawn from the mouth.
Most calves will learn to drink in q
couple of days, but once in while
there will be stubborn one, and al
though it seems most cruel they have
to be starved to it.
A tin or galvanized pail is better to
feed calves in than wood. They are
lighter and easier to handle, may be
kept clean with much less work, and
when one wishes to warm the milk it
may be poured into the pail and set on
the back part Of the stove until warm
enough. When milk is warmed in
uans or pans, 1t sometimes SO adheres

Lord Co1eridre,s Umbrella decision.

y
The law as to umbrellas was settled
once for all by Lord Coleridge in
leading English cause. His lordship
held:
"Umbrellas, properly considered,
are q part of the atmospheric or me-
neurological condition, and, as suoh,
there can be no individual property
right in them. In Sampson vs..
Thompson defendant was charged
with standing on plaintiffs front steps
during a storm and thereby soaking
up large quantity of rain to which
plaintiff was entitled. But the court
held that the rain was any mans rain,
no matter where it fell. It followed,
therefore, that the umbrella is any
mans umbrella. In all ages rain and
umbrellas have gone together, and
there is no reason why they should be
separated by law. An umbrella may,
under certain circumstances-the chief
of which is possession-take on the
attributes of personal property, just
rs if man set tub and catch guam
tity of rain water, that rain water will
be considered as his personal belong
ing while it is in his tub. But if the
sun evaporate the water and it is rained
down again, OF if the tub be upset and
the water spilled, the attribute of
personal ownership disappears. So,
if man hold his umbrella in his hand
it may be considered personal be-
longing, but the moment it leaves his
hand it returns to the great, general,
indivisible, common stock of umbrel-
las, whittier the law will not attempt
to pursue it. %
So far as we know there has never
been n successful appeal from this
decision. Chicago News.

!: FOR VOMAN'S BENEFIT.
Walking Gracefully.

Although, perhaps, not "the most
excellent thing in woman" THAT honor
having been accorded to "the low,
sweet voice'), yet, certainly, an at
trective thing in woman is. a graceful,
pretty walk. The great fault with
English girls is that they walk too
stifly, and they take too long strides.
The French and Spanish women both
know how to walk we'll. They walk
naturally, too. Quick, short steps
are to be avoided, just rs we'll as too
long strides. It is the medium here,
as almost everywhere else, that is
shappy." Dancing lessons are more
valuable aid to this end than would
be commonly supposed.

Head Toward the Fngine.

Those who wish to avoid catching
cold when sleeping in sleeping car,
says an exchange, should have their
.berths made up so that their heads
will be toward the engine. This is
because the drafts in a moving train
are always from front to rear, and
when your head is toward the engine
you are much better protected, while
getting just as much fresh air as
though you were in the other position.
