Prince Edwards idea OF Bliss.

Prince Edward of York, Queen
Victoria's great-grandson and pos

fellow, very decided, however, in his

charming woman who visits at Marl-

Edwards heart.

Dewey's Chicken.

"Why didn't they name me Trouble?
"But no; here / am yellow puppy
and they call me Dewey. OF course
with that name you'd naturally think
1 would be expected to show very
warlike disposition, so 1 bark furiously
at passing teams. make brave dashes
at women's silken skirts and gay
colored ribbons, and the other day I
made charge on the chickens that
was grand"
A very melancholy looking little
yellow dog crouched in the darkest
corner of the cavernous space under
the front steps of the great house.
'Tt seems as though 1 were brought
into the world for the sole purpose of
being q nuisance. The little dog was
scared and ont of sorts generally
there was no doubt about it, and
he had good reason for his frame of
mind, as the following soliloquy will
show:
81 was making the feathers fly and
the chickens fly when swish-bang
came broom after me with nearly rs
much force as cannon ball. And a
voice said, 'Oh, you good-for-n nothing
dogP
''Now what am TO do? If they
wanted quiet, sober little dog of me
why didn't they call me Flossie or
Fido or some other soft-sounding
name?
"But to call me Dewey and then
expect me to do nothing rough, why,
it's perfectly absurd.
Yesterday 1 was having such
nice, quiet time, and I thought no one
could possibly object to my innocent
amusement. After breakfast walked
into the parlor Just to see il I couldn't
find something to do. On the couch
there was a white object with black
feathers sticking out of it.
" 'Chickens!' / growled under my
breath, but straightway thought, No,
Dewey, you mustn't chase chickens
so dropped down on the floor with
n sigh and began watching the object
Well, it didn't move, and the more I
looked at it the more / thought it
would do no harm to play with it. So
jumped up and dragged it under the
couch, and the fun / had with that
thing would have made you laugh. L
pulled the feathers out. 1 chewed
and ripped great punches of soft
gauzy stuff off of it, and just as I was
making the feathers fly to the right
and to the left Mr.. Edwin Macarthur,
my master, came into the room.
"He didn't say q word!
"He picked me up, and I really be-
lieve If wasn't born soldier and
didn't bear a soldiers name I wouldn't
be telling this story today.
"Mr. Edwin Macarthur ought to
have gone to war, for if he could whip
Spaniards the way he can whip dogs
he would be wonder.
"When ladies call ON mistress now
she shows them the object I thought
looked like chicken, and they give
little screams and say, 'Oh, Sara, your
new Paris hat! Can it be repaired?'
"They never ask if Dewey can be
repaired.
II know I'm q good-for-nothing
dog, but I believe that mistress loves
me after all, for last night she took
me in her arms and said: Dewey, you
cunning thing, I forgive you for ruin
ing my Paris hat, You showed such
good taste in selecting minO when
Cousin Nell's lay right beside it. I
always told her she had no more taste
than dog as far as hats were con-
cerned.

Common Sense Dnirying,

The basis of profitable dairying is a
herd of high-grade cows. Beyond
this there is nothing but proper treat
ment and feeding for the COWS and
wise handling of the butter. Dairy
cows should be stabbed at night and
on cold and stormy days, with plenty
Of bedding for warmth aud cleanli-
ness. A feed of ten pounds Of clover
hay ard ten pounds OF shredded corn
stalks, with what unshredded stalks
they will eat clean from the rack, is
enough food for the average COW per
day. A daily feed OF grain consisting
of five pounds of wheat bran and Ave
pounds of corn and cob meal ground
fine, will bring good results. The
quantity of food is not arbitrary, as
some cows will require more and some
less. Water twice day. With the
milk use separator, tester and
scales, and dispose of, as Improbable,
every COW that does not come up to
the standard under these tests. Raise
the heifer calls to increase the herd.
Pack the butter product carefully and
have it of quality that will command
attention in the market. Mark it SO
that those who buy may know where
it comes from and they will soon get
in the habit of asking for it. Then
the dairy will be found most profit
able part OF the farm. Atlanta Jour-

POPULAR INTEREST IN DEWEY.

Likely to lie Affected.
Aretired business man of Cleveland,
who has O reputation among people
who know him for his kindness of
heart, was filed with distress the
other afternoon when he was ap-
preached by the fve-year-old son of
one of the neighbors. The little fell
low was crying bitterly, and the kind
hearted man lost no time in making
inquiries as to the nature of the child's
troubles.
Come" he said, patting the boys
head, "tell me all about it. Who
hurt you?"
"N-n-nobody didn't hu-hurt me-"
the sufferer sobbed, "b-b.but Dewey's
dead, boo hoo -hoo-hool"
Dewey deadl Great heavensl That's
terrible. Where's the newsboy?
Dear, dear, dear, dear. I'm sorry to
hear thatl"
And forgetting all about the dis
tress of the child he rushed into the
house, exclaiming to his wife:
Mamma, Dewey's deadr'
"Mercy on usl'' the lady replied,
"where did you hear that?"
Little Francis Parker just told
me. Poor child, he's crying as if his
heart will break. 1 suppose his father
has just brought the news home from
down town. 1 wish the boys would
hurry and get out this way with their
papers. By George, this makes me
feel blue There's been some treach-
ery-you mark my words! Dewey is
the victim of foul play. Now I'm for
wiping the whole darned Spanish race
off the face of the earth. Nothing
short of that will atone for our loss!"
BY this time the gentleman had got
to walking around in circle, and his
wife felt il her duty to do something
to keep him from breaking down.
"Why don't you go over to the Par
kers," she said, "and find out about
it? There may be some mistake. lido
hope it isn't true"
Eyes, hope 30 too" he replied,
mechanically, taking his hat as she
handed it to him, "but I'm afraid it
is. I've had kind of premonition
from the first that something was GO
ing to happen to Dewey. This COM
pletely upsets me. It's just as bad as
if I'd lost member of my own fami-
ly."
Then he went over to the Parkers,
little Francis having, in the meantime,
returned home.
Mrs. Parker and her daughter Grace
were sitting on the porch making
things out of fluffy lace aud linen.
"Well," the kind hearted man said,
''it's too bad about Dewey, isn't it?"
"Yes," Mrs. Parker answered, 1--WE
feel real bad about him. We had
really become attached to him."
"How and when did it happen?"
the gentleman asked, as he took his
chair that had been pushed forward
by Miss Grace.
"He died this afternoon. / guess
he must have caught cold. The girl
had the hose ont yesterday and sprin-
kled on him, and think that started
it."
The man with the kind heart sat
there, looking dumbly at the two
ladies for about minute, after which
he asked:
"What do you mean?"
"Why," said Mrs. Parker, "the
little chicken that our milkman brought
in from the country to Francis. You
never saw it, did you? 1t was dear
little thing. Francis called it Dewey,
in honor of the hero of Manila. But"
she sighed, ''it's dead, and Francis
has been crying all the afternoon"
The kind-hearted man went home
shortly after that, and in answer to
his wife's anxious look merely said:
"Nother fake"

A Duel In Rir,lland.

Duelling between men has long
gone out of fashion in England, and
it is left to nations and lower animals
to settle their differences by an appeal
to arms. In Kew gardens, in the
presence of considerable number of
spectators, an affair of honor was
settled between pelican and a duck.
The birds had had words together, so
to speak, and the pelican determined
that the next best thing to making the
duck eat his words was to eat the
duck. So, after little thrust and
parry on the water, he made for the
smaller bird and snapped it into his
pouch. Then battle-royal began in
side the pouch of the pelican. The
duck struggled, kicked, quacked, and
occasionally managed to get leg or
wing outside, while his captor threw
his beak high in the air, then dipped
1t into the water and kept it there, as
II trying to suf'ocate or drown its
enemy. From the look of the agitated
pouch it t.seemed as if the contest was
by no means one-sided, but that the
pelican was having rather rough
time. At last the duck got his head
and one wing out, and then, with
magnificent effort, managed to get en-
tirely free. Once again on the water
the duck declined further combat and
fed, while the pelican remained, look
ing as if honor was thoroughly salts

A Mimic Sen.


To start an aquarium sounds rather
formidable undertaking from finan-
cial standpoint, says a writer in Har-
per's Round Table, yet it costs moth
ing to collect the treasures of the sea,
and once intelligently collected months
of pleasure are secured. The expeE-
sive glass globes called aquariums are
not necessary, nor even desirable. A
top will live in bottle, and O sea
garden grow in preserve jar. In
stead, substitute small, new tub,
unpainted inside, or glass box made
OF window panes set in a framework
of wood and cement. Into this tank
put two inches of wel-washed sea
sand, avoiding all worms and Aeas,
which would die and poison the water.
This layer of sand is for the benefit
of the crabs and burrowing snails.
Then, with small, clean stones, free
from all vegetable growth, and little
cement, build mimic arcade in the
centre of the tank, which will provide
shade, without which your sleepless
fish will soon die. Little Jumps Of
cement, stuck irregularly about the
sides of the tub, afford root room for
weed, and so vary its monotony.
Having prepared the tank, fill it
with deep sea water. to guard against
the possible impurities of the shore.
As this water evaporates renew with
fresh water, since the original salt
never evaporates. The tank must be
placed where it will have plenty of
light and air, while guarded against
heat and dus. Sunlight is necessary
for the plant life of the aquarium, but
If the water ever becomes tepid the
fish will die. Now deposit in the
tank half dozen stones or shells, to
which are attached the finer varieties
of growing weed, as sea lettuce and
ulvae. 1t is we'll to first wash these
carefully, lest decayed matter lurk in
the fronds.

How to Pasteurixe MIX Easily.

Milk may be easily pasteurized by
using the same apparatus employed
in cooling and aerating, except that
instead OF running cold water through
the machine use steam. The milk
will become hot. The temperature
can be controlled by regulating the
amount of steam let into the aerator.
The temperature OF the milk will be
about $50 degrees when it reaches
the trough, but by the time it has
fallen into the can, it is cooled to 140
degrees. This is practically the pas
touring temperature, but il the tuber-
Gle bacilli are to be destroyed, the can
to receive the milk should be hot aHd-
sterilized, and the cream can be pro-
tected by an inverted funnel, and it
may be that plate OF glass should be
placed in front of and near the ridges
OF the cooler. Milk should stand in
the can about twenty minutes, when
il should be turned back into the aer-
ator. and cooled in the ordinary way.
The New Jersey experiment station
finds this method very eflicacious, and
particularly applicable to small dairy
farms where regular pasteurizing
apparatus is not at hand.-Orange

Lime Not n Fertilizer.

Considerable lime is used on farm
lands, and usually to great advantage,
but the general opinion is that it may
be used freely in place of fertilizers.
This is mistake, for, strictly speak
ing, lime has no value asa fertilizer.
Its use is purely and simply to set
loose and make available for plant food
fertility already in the soil. Its value
will be most noticeable on heavy,
rather moist lands, usually rich in
nitrogen, but which requires loosen
ing power to make it available as plant
food, and lime does this work better
than anything that can be applied.
Lime neutralizes the free acids and
sweetens the SOIL 1t hastens the de-
composition OF organic matter so large
ly found in the soils described, and
makes it available as plant food, be-
sides rendering such soils more porous
and open. On the other hand, If used
in too large quantities continuously, or
to the exclusion of fertilizers or man
ures, it soon robs the soil of its fertil-
ity and becomes detriment rather
than help.

Fell Pruning.

While the general practice is to do
the main pruning of trees in the spring,
much Of the work can be done to the
best advantage in the early fall, when
it is possible to see just where the tree
is making the growth that is valueless.
This fall pruning is especially valu-
able for young trees, which must be
directed in the form and shape desired
at an early age. 1t is not meant that
any heavy pruning should be done in
the fall, but mainly pinching back of
the young sprouts as they grow, re-
moving the buds on others and gradu-
ally shaping the tree and regulating
the supply Of the fruit on those that
come into bearing for the first time.
The growth of the young tree should
first be upward, then outward, and
the removal or shortening of any lat
eral branches that show tendency to
shoot out beyond all the others will
prevent sapping of the trees vitality.
Several branches Of about equal size
and length will form we'll balanced
and healthy tree, and any additional
growth is but drain.

and shrubs, would well pay all expenses

a scientific fruit grower or scotsman
of the present time who understands
this, but is profiting by the experi-
ment.-Farm, Field and Fireside.
