Why They Cheered.

Dr.. Whewell, master of Trinity col
lege, Cambridge, was a great but I'M
popular man. When he entered the SEN
ate house, it was the i'll hammered prac-
tice of the undergraduates to begin a
loud and continuous whistle.
How this originated do not know, :"
writes Dean Farrar in his book "Men !
Have Known" There were two leg
ends about it. One was that it intimat-
ed that the master would have to whis-
tie for bishopric; the other-equally
absurd-was that when some one had
asked him how to pronounce his name
he had said, You must shape your
mouth as if you were going to whistle -
But under the rough manners of the
students there was genuine goodness Of
heart. DR.. Whewell's wife died. He
had been tenderly devoted to her, and
when he attended chapel after her death
the undergraduates were touched by an
"old man s anguish and strong man s
tears
when next he entered the senate
house, writes Dean Farrar, "there was
dead silence For the first time for ]
know not how many years not whis-
tie was heard, and then moment after
ward as by spontaneous impulse the
whole crowded mass of undergraduates
IN the gallery burst into loud and
long continued cheer. 1t was not aston
ishing that such proof of sympathy
should move the heart of the great mas
ter or that the tears should run down
his cheeks. do not think that he was
ever whistled at again."

The gentlemen of the bar, who not
infrequently have to take rebukes from
the bench, greatly enjoy chance to
make legitimate retort against the
court. The story is told that certain
judge who during the plea of rather
prosy lawyer could not refrain from
gently nodding his head in sleep was
caught at this by the lawyer, who look
ed significantly at him.
Perhaps, said the judge testify and
overwhelmingly, "the counsel thinks the
court was asleep, but he may be assured
that the court was merely cogitating. I"
The lawyer talked on. Presently the
judge, again overcome by his somno-
lency, nodded off and aroused himself
with little sudden snorting snore.
IF it please your honor, said the
lawyer, 81 will suspend my plea until
the court shall have ceased to oogitate
audibly."

Fertility of Cowpeas.

In planting corn last year used for
the first time check row planter, and
with the result that had little strip
next to the lane implanted by reason of
not enough chain. This strip I sowed
in cowpeas, thinking they could be cut
and thrown over to the COWS. For some
reason it was not done until we were
ready to harrow up the corn ground for
wheat, at which time the peas were
ripe. The cows ate only a few of them,
the majority being trampled on the
ground, and today l was surprised to
find that the grass where the cowpeas
had been thrown was of much darker
green than that nearby. I had always
supposed that the greater part of the
fertilizing value of cowpeas was in the
roots, and that large part is in the
roots / know by my own experience.
But from this limited test it would
seem that there is also fertility to a
great degree in the tops. just why this
plant is not more widely grown I fail
to see, for it certainly is one of the most
valuable leguminous plants that we
have for restoring the fertility of the
soil And as money crop it is not to
be despised, as the seed is generally as
high as beans. The past year l believe
that cowpeas brought even more than
beans did.-Cor. National Stockman.

THE LITTLE TlTMOUSE.

Ono Free Bird That Attracts Attention
Among Hundreds of Captives.
In big bird store where there are
hundreds of birds of many kinds inces-
sanity squawking, ohirping and singing
there is one that is free-a tiny tit
mouse. The window is full of cages
containing birds Of various sorts, and
one side of the store is lined with bird
cages stacked up high all along But
there is none that attracts SO much at
tention as the little titmouse fitting
about the store at will. At night it
perches on gas fixture in the window,
and to that it comes back from it's vari-
GUS excursions by day.
Customers that come in to buy birds
and birdcages and bird seed and one
thing and another never fail to notice
other bird there individually, but their
attention is sure to be attracted by this
one as it darts about, free among SO
many captives, and they are likely to
smile at it, they are SO pleased with it.
And sometimes children, looking in at
the windows of the bird store, come in
to tell the clerk that one of the birds
has got loose.
When it has nothing else to do. the
titmouse sits on it's gas pipe perch and
perks it's head this way and that and
looks about Sometimes it whets its
beak on the gas pipe. Every now and
then it dashes off somewhere If it
wants drink, it perches on the rim of
goldfish globe-for home aquariums
and stock for them are sold here as well
as birds-no doubt to the great surprise
of the goldfishes and certainly to that
of the human beholders, who wonder
that it doesn't fall in, it has to bend
over so far to reach the water. But it
gets it, and when it has taken it's fill it
flashes back to it's perch on the pipe in
the window.
The titmouse catches spiders and 9TH
er insects, and it feeds in the larger
cages when it will. 1t goes in and out
of them between the bars with perfect
ease. 1t is a very little bird, even with
it's plumage in its natural form. With
it's feathers pressed against its sides it
can get through very narrow space
between the bars of a parrots cage, for
example-with ease. There are in the
window a number Of parrots cages in a
row. The titmouse almost flies through
these cages, stopping in each perhaps to
eat of the parrots food, but they never
modest it. Parrots that would bite at
the finger of a man who should put his
hand near enough to the outside of their
cage stand back in fright or sheer
amazement when the little titmouse
dashes in and perches on their feed cup.

When man owns a FLOODED horse he
is always careful of its health. He looks
after its diet and is particular that the
feeding shall be regular and right. While
he is doing this it is likely as not that he
is himself suffering from some disease or
disorder. When the trouble gets so bad
that he cannot work, he will begin to give
himself the care he gave the horse at the
start. Good, pure, rich, red blood is the
best insurance against disease of any kind
Almost all diseases come from impure or
impoverished blood. Keep the blood
pure and strong and disease can find no
foothold. That is the principle upon
which Or. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery works. 1t cleanses, purifies and
enriches the blood, puts and keeps the
whole body in perfect order; makes ap-
petite good, digestion strong, assimilation
perfect. 1t brings ruddy, virile health.

MADAM HICKORY.

Fit theme for song, the sylvan maid
Who, if she knew not fauns or satyrs,
Had conjured oft in messy shade
Visions of savage paleface hatersl
trow she dined on pork and maize
In cabin single roomed and sooted,
Quite innocent of frills and stays,
Warm hearted and barefooted.
Her beauty surely brought her note.
Perchance the frankness of her manners
Gossip Ger racy tales did gloat
To prove her scruples not Diana's,
But when the hero husband came
He crushed the scandal pests like vermin.
A terror hedged the hero's name,
And she was white as ermine.
Thenceforth, a matron fair and fat
She shared the doting hero's station.
That's with Alexander sat
And heard the plaudits of nation.
What though small souls, with furtive leer,
Revived old runors of dishonor?
The hero held her yet more dear
And stainless as Madonna.
Weary of fortunes smile and frown,
She died without the White House portal,
But never wife wore richer crown,
A hero's troth and love immortal.
That love had made queen of her
Whom naughty danes turned prudish
backs on,
And history smiles, but has no slur
For Mistress Andrew jackson.

Concrete Walls.

1t is not advisable to build concrete
walls in freezing weather. The proper
proportions for making concrete are one
part of good cement and three parts of
clean gravel or broken stone. These are
mixed dry and then thoroughly saturat-

at once and may be formed into bricks
of any size and shape desired or put into
board frames previously constructed, ao-
