SklMMiLk CALVES.

Feed Which VIII Produce Growth and
Lean Meat Rather Than Fat.
A correspondent Of Hoard's Dairy
man, P. B. Crosby Of Maryland, says
that most people have an idea that a
calf will not thrive on skimmilk, and
they consequently give it new milk,
and with the new milk goes the profit
also. Now, I know by actual experience
that calf can be raised on skimmilk
if he has enough. We have one now on
this place that at weeks gets 25
pounds Of skimmilk day, and, besides,
all the bright hay it wants, which is a
good deal. And with this liberal feed
ing it is beauty, and, as for growth, az
the hired man expresses it, ''It beats any
calf ever did see." The trouble with
not only calves, but most young stock, is

A Weapon of Ancient PuEilists.

The four ounce glove was unknown
to the ancient pugilist. When the box
ers and fighters came together in the
old days of Greece, they. wore upon
their hand the cestus, which was in
itself a terrible adjunct to any fighter.
But DR.. Daniel G. Briton has discover
ed that there was sometimes attached
to the cestus deadlier weapon, consist
ing Of three pronged fork of bronze.
This was known as the myrmex, and
DIR. Brinton, who found this specimen,
has given it to the museum of archaeol-
ogy in the University of Pennsylvania.
Classical literature has frequent refer
ences to the myrmex, which is described
as the deadiest weapon Of the ancient
pugilist. The right hand was swathed
in tough hide, bound in place with
thongs and supplemented by small
knobs of lead or iron, to which was
affixed the myrmex. DR.. Brinton made
his discovery in Paris by examining the
Greek and Roman marbles in the
Louvre. One Of these groups represent
ed fighter bearing on his right fist the
cestus and myrmex.
Combats in those days were much
more brutal and dangerous than those
of the modern prize ring. 1t is easily
seen that single blow Of the myrmex
might cause death or permanent injury.

Lying by tho Clock.

Many a man who would not for any
money go into the kitchen at O'Clock In
the morning and say to the cook: DO you
know it is half past o'clocks Well, it Is,
and more-it's just IS minutes past p
and my train goes In as minutesH will
quietly and in cold blood put the clock up
to telling this lie for him. This isn't fair
to the clock. 1t Is bad enough when q
man, or even a woman, in a sudden gust
Of anger swears at a tramp or peddler or
irritating caller with slamming door or
a banging window. That is done in q
quick frenzy of temper and has sometimes
the excuse Of great provocation. But "
Ing by the clock is always done with calm
deliberations and malice aforethought, and
it is persevered in day by day. It's too
mean on the clock. Vocal as the big clock
at DR.. Blimber's, speaking to poor little
Paul, these ma-tyred clocks should sit
heavy on the conscience of the teacher,
saying all day long in sUaccato tones:

Nor was my wish to make you sigh;
But you are young and do not know
How Joy and grief together lie.
There ever Is minor chord
Struck somewhere in our earthly iAys
Ever a shadow on the sward
OF brightest scenes whereon we gaze.
And while we may not heed the one
Nor hear the other, each is there, -
Yet lurking in the blithest tone,
Yet darkening the landscape fair.
Thus, often scarcely knowing why,
- We cannot look without tear.
And so it is we sometimes sigh.
Though joyous by the song we hear.
