why His Customer Couldn't Eat the

A certain literary German whose manner
Of speaking was extremely deliberate, and
who disapproved of impetuosity Of any sort
and under any circumstances, had an anus
ing experience in a restaurant one day.
He was a well-known figure among the
patrons of this particular establishment, as
he seldom dined anywhere else, and he was
generally served by waiter who had be-
come used to his way of speaking; but one
day new waiter took his order and brought
his soup.
II cannot eat this SOUP" said the gentle
man, slowly, not looking up from his plate.
The man seized the soup plate before the
customer could finish the sentence, and van.
ished with it.
He reappeared in moment with another
supply of the same soup, which he placed
before the gentleman, and then stood re
garding him with an anxious face, wonder
ing what could be the reason for the sour
remaining untouched.

marked the literary man.
"Why not, sir? What is the matter?'

The nrendful Annir.

Col. John Singleton Mosby, while
visiting his son-in-law, Robert R. Camp
bell, of Warrenton, Va, a few days ago,
received from Charles Dear, one of the
ex-confederate's men, letter advis-
ing Mosby that Dear had sent to him
by express limb of the walnut tree
upon which Gen. Custer had hanged ten
of the guerilla's scouts. Mosby was
not at all pleased by Dear's action, and
said he would not touch the piece of
wood with ten-foot pole. He wrote
to Dear, saying that he would much

To Ten a Cows Arc.

The way to tell cows age is by an
inspection of her horns. Up to the age
of two, the horn is uniformly smooth,
from the root to the tip. At the age Of
two, ring, or thick material grows at
the base of each horn, forming sort
Of notch, and an additional ring or
notch is added every year afterwards.
To find the age, therefore, count the
rings and add two. In the case OF a
bull, the first ring does not appear until
he is five years old, but one annual ring
appears after that. Though now and
again Irregularities occur, yet, on the
whole, this rule is reliable. Fraudulent
dealers occasionally file down these
notches or rings, but close inspection Is
sufficient to expose the fraud. Golden

AN UNKNOWN HERO.
He Who Made the Famous Ride wi

He Who Made the Famous Ride with
Sheridan.
There is telegraph lineman in Read
ing, Pa, whose privilege it was to take
part in the greatest race the world
has ever known, the ride that turned
the day at Winchester and stamped
Sheridan as the first of cavalry leaders.
Histories have said the general made
the ride alone. Barton Ream knows
better, for he was with Sheridan. He
was one of the five who survived. Only
two are living, and strangely enough
the other, Samuel Lewis, also lives in
Reading.
Gen. Sheridan had been in Washing
ton. He had passed the night Ia Win
chester. 1t was there that he received
the news of the disaster at the front,
on that memorable morning of October
1s, 1864. You shall read of what fol-
lowed in Barton Ream's own words, as
he told the story to World corre-
Ispondent.

HORSES IN WINTER.
Feeding Too Literally IL as Had
StarYinu Them

Feeding Too Literally IL as Had as
Starving Them.
There is golden mean in feeding an
imals which should be observed. There
is a tendency where one takes pride in
horses to feed too much. The liberal
feeder should take especial pains to
provide abundant exercise. In the case
of team reduced in flesh by hard la
Dor during summer and autumn feed,
ing up to recruit in winter Is essential.
Feeding alone, however, without mod,
crate work leaves the creatures in
softened flesh, which vanishes before
the heavy work of spring.
If it is the intention to sell horses in
early spring they should by all means
be fed up to plump condition and the
muscles should be hardened by mod
crate work. The careful buyer inspects
more than the outside appearance. He
expects constitution and endurance as
well as clear sight and sound limbs.
Too often the gait Of the colt is neg
lected, to the detriment of its sale. Too
often striking, interfering and forging
will permanently impair the limbs or
feet, when by attention in time these
defects might have been permanently
cured by use of proper devices. The
expense of shoeing in the course OF
years might also be much reduced
where the policy of prevention is adopt
ed in the early stages. Colts as well as
children may be corrected in faults OF
carriage and gait, as well as other hab-
its, and such training adds largely tc
their value.
The teams intended for the regular
work of the coming season, If in fail
condition at this time, may be fed mod
erately in proportion to the exercise OF
work performed in winter, and will b,
in better condition for spring labor
than If overwhelmed. Winter grazing
or, in lieu of this, ensilage, roots, vege
tables, bran and other cooling ratioul
