The Kansas City Journal says: "A
flour merchant at Edgar let the story
get out that while he was STOPPING over
his flour bin a $3.50 diamond ring had
slipped off his finger into the flour. He
appeared to be greatly exercised over
the loss, got a notice in the local paper,
but finally announced with a sigh that
he would have to give it up; that the
ring was in the flour somewhere; that
he supposed it would turn up in a sack
of -four, but he had no idea what one.
Well, you ought to have seen the boom
that guileless man had in the flour
trade. For the next week he had to hire
extra help to fill sacks out Of that bin.
One man who never bought a sack from
him before came in and laid in a win
ter's supply. And the smooth merchant
whistled softly as he filled the sacks,
and wicked his other eye
There is nothing the matter with that
merchant. except his moral nature. But
he probably thinks that a merchant
should not let morals stand between
him and business.

Editor of The Herald, Salt Lake City,
Utah:
Dear Sir-Will you please tell me why
the isothermal lines that run through
the maps in the geography run so
crooked and zigzaggy, and not straight?
Yours truly, MAY BIRD.
The isothermal lines run zigzag and
not straight because they are used to
show the geographical distribution of
temperature. The temperature along
an isothermal line is practically the
same throughout the country through
which it is drawn.

COMMENTS BY THE PRESS.

Congress the fine Americans of our early
DAYS used TO face their enemies in battle
Let us pray that our national representa-
tive 0ody may still prove worthy of such

Pittsburg Post: The government, in
case of war, will be compelled to make
fresh loans. The fifty-million emergency
appropriation reduced the surplus, aside
from the greenback redemption fund, 10
$4,000 900. Under the Dinsley tariff. re-
ceipts are falling below expenditures at
about this rate per annum- Thanks TO
the supreme court decision in relieving
the surplus wealth of the country from
bearing its just share of the public bur-
dens. there must be fresh loans by fresh
bond issues. Wall street is preparing for
field with the demand they shall be gold
bonds. The people will say mo in thunder
tones.
New York World: In the absence of
other sources Of revenue in France, II is
now proposed that the government shall
add to its income by the sale of genuine
titles of nobility on fixed scale of
prices This seems unrepublican. but as
the titles might be useful in capturing

ing. II is understood. however that this
movement IS confined TO DeoDle so rich
that it really makes little difference what
their lunch costs. Economy would seem
TO be more advantageous and. indeed
more appropriate for people of more lin
tied means. There is no great public end
to be subserved by the rich cutting short
their lunches and saving their money.

Oar girls must 5t educated in money
matters, and there is no surer method
than by giving them money of their
own to speno; regular weekly or
monthly allowance given them to
cover certain regulated expenses. 1t
is only natural that at the start a
girl will spend foolishly. To meet this
inevitable experience the amount of
the allowance should be accordingly
regulated. After awhile, however,
when she gets accustomed to the hand
ling of money, she will learn its value
better and be more judicious in spend
ing it. To give a girl an allowance is
not privilege, but her right. To
withhold it is TO do her a serious
wrong, and likewise is an injustice to
the man whom she will marry and
whose money she will be intrusted
with to spend wisely. She should have
experience before she reaches that
point, and that experience can only
come to her from her father in an al
lowance of her own while she is his
daughter in his home"

LAMBS FOR MUTTON.
something About the Breeds and II ~
to Obtain the Most Satisfac-
tory Resalts.

Probably the fattest sent to mar
llet are those obtained from a cross Of
MeriEo and Southdown. They are
abou; as plump and heavy for their
size as any bred, although they are
not the largest, writes K. Z. Smith in
the American Cultivator. They are
generally desired by good butchers
and very often they will command
fancy prices. Their Southdown line
age will be apparent in their black
faces and legs, and most butchers be-
lieve yet, and with good reason, that
the "Southdown is the finest mutton
sheep in the world"
But the Merino contributes many
noteworthy qualities. The lambs get
their fatness and tenderness from the
Merino, and this greatly helps the
lambs, n the markets. Altogether the
cross produces about as satisfactory
results for the general breeder Of
lambs for mutton as any.
The lambs when two weeks old
should be taught to eat little dry
food, and this can best be given TO
them with the hand. Some times a
tempting dish can be made for the
lambs-a mixture of clean oats, corn
and linseed in equal parts, ground up
finely and then salted and sweetened
with a little sugar. The taste of the
latter tempts the lambs. The ewes
should also be fed freely and with good
nourishing food to keep up the flow of
milk, for it is advisable for the lamb
to have plenty of the mothers milk
In a short time the lambs will take
their dry feed from box or pan, and
then feeding them will be greatly Sim
pltied. ordinarily it is not necessary
to get them 10 take dry food, but where
it is desirable to force their growth,
and make them lay on fat rapidly. this
method viii be found very satisfac.
tory. The lambs that grow vigorous
ly from the first are the ores that pay
in the en-, and it would rot prove a
bad plan to adopt this method even
though one has no idea of forcing the
lambs for an early market.

Some one recently called for re-
cipe for picking pork. Here is ono
that we find good: Salt enough to
take out the blood and let it stand
two or three days. For every 100
pounds of meat take ten pounds of
salt, four pounds of Orleans sugar,
three-quarters ource of saltpeter, two
ounces of soda and eight gallons Of
water. Boil, strain and let cool. Then
pour over the meat. Let it stay in
pickle at least six weeks. Keep the
meat well under pickle, but be careful
not to weight it too heavy. If the pickle
should not be enough to cover you
will have to make enough as proper
toned above. This will depend some.

CORN FOR CHICKENS.
Poultry ThriVes Most ExceIIenDy
Upon 1t Until 1t Has Made Its
Full Growth.

Without doubt, the very best feed
for a flock of growing chickens is
corn, Just whole corn fed to them in
unlimited quantities. If the chickens
have the range of the farm they will
not eat more corn than they need and
the more they can be induced TO eat
the faster they will grow. They get
enough grass, bugs, weed and grass
seeds when running about to balance
the corn ration, and it is one os the
best feeds that can be given them.
The laying hens should not have so
much corn, so this advice should not
be taken without the hens can be kept
from eating with the growing chick
ems, for a laying hen fed al. the corn
she can eat will soon get too lazy to
forage much. and in the end will get
so fat that she will be inclined TO take
rest from laying and become an un-
profitable servant.
All the young poultry thrives on
corn until it has made its full growth.
There is nothing better for Young
poultry than sweet corn from the time
Il gets to be good roasting ears until
The winter sets in. While this is being
fed the fowls will make weight in quite
surprising way, and they are very
fond of it. There is no need to prepare
il in any way. They will take care of
1t if the ears are husked and thrown
10 them. If with the sweet corn a sup
Ply of sunfiowers is available the fowls
will not only grow but their plumage
will become glossy and their combs
red, and they will be pictures of health.
The man who raises poultry and fails
to have a supply of sweet corn and
suntlower seeds for them is missing an
opportunity to provide the best feed
that can be grown on the farm

THE GIRLS ALLOWANCE.
II Is Her Right and. mt the same
Time, Teaches Her the Proper
Use of Money.

Every self-respecting woman. be
she maid or wife, has natural and
intense dislike TO ask her father or
husband for every penny she needs,
says Edward Box, writing in, the La
dies Home Journal, on Giving Allc'V-
anccs to Girls" Nor is the feeling
lessened by the fact that the money
can be had for the asking and is al
ways given ungrudgingly. 1t is the
asking which women dislike. They
Justly recoil from it, and men ought to
understand it better than they do.
1t should be said that the husband
who refuses to give his wife regular
allowance is rapidly becoming the ex-
ception. But there are still too many
fathers who withhold an allowance
from their daughters. If it be true
that the average girl has no idea of
the value of money, how will she ever
gain a better knowledge of its worth
