A Tough Contract.

swell, Caleb" said Captain W. Of
Massachusetts years ago, "what will
you ask day to saw wood for me? I've
got several cords that 1 want sawed in
two for the fireplace.
81 should charge you about half
dollar a day if I had saw" replied
Caleb, ''but l amt got none, captain,
so I don't see how can accommodate
you"
If that's all that's lacking, / guess
we can manage it, said the captain.
"I've got prime new one. keen as
brier, and I'll let it to you reasonable.
How would ninepence (12H cents)
cord do for the use of it,"
81 reckon that's fair price, captain
I'll be over in the mornin.
Bright and early that next July morn
ing Caleb was at work, and he kept at
it SO faithfully that he finished before
sunset, when he went to the house to
settle.
"Let's see,' said the captain, "you
were to have half dollar day. Well
call it day, although it amt shutdown
yet That's 30 cents for you, and you
were to pay me ninepence a cord for the
use of the saw. There were three cords
and half in the pile. That makes 43A
cents due me- Somehow, Caleb, you
don't have ve1y much coming to you"
"How unfortnit,'' said Caleb, after
scratching his head obviously for half a
minute, and then looking up quickly,
as if new light had broken in upon his
mind-"how unfortnit that you didn't

surgery in the Vermont University. Next
he was appointed lecturer on materia med
lea and medical botany in Dartmouth Col
lege. The next year he was chosen pro-
fessor of the chair then vacated by Prof
Robby, and occupied the chair the most
important one in the country, at the time
when he first formulated bis most remark
able prescription.
Prof. Phelps has given to his profession
in Paine's celery compound positive
cure for sleeplessness, wasting strength,
dyspepsia, biliousness, liver complaint,
neuralgia, rheumatism, all nervous dis
eases and kidney troubles. 1t is the only
specific recognized and prescribed to-day
by the best physicians for diseases arising
from debilitated nervous system. For
such complaints Paine's celery compound
succeeds again and again where every
thing else fails.
No remedy was ever so highly recon-
mended, because none ever accomplished
so much.
( Paine's celery compound stands without
competition for feeding exhausted nerves
and building up the strength of the body.
1t cures radically and permanently. A
healthy increase in appetite and a cores
ponding gain in weight and good spirits
follow the use of Paine's celery com
pound. 1t is the most remarkable medi-
cal achievement of this last half of the
nineteenth century.

SUNLIGHT IN THE STABLE.
A Neglected Item In the Practice of
Good DafryinH,

Neglected Item In the Practice of
Good DairyinE.
Mr.. John Gould of Ohio says be has
been In the habit of paying attention to
the window lighting Of the many stables
which he sees, wherein dairy COWS pass
most of the winter, and under the title
of Sunlight In the stable" he records
in The Country Gentleman impressions
received: / am struck times without
number with the little regard which is
paid to the proper lighting of stable,
and the little attention these men seem
to pay to the value Of sunlight in their
stables. The usual rule is to put in
few small windows along the northern
walls-few of any kind or size. In a
large new barn which recently visited,
the reimbursement stable In which more
than 40 COWS were tied had no light
admitted from north, east or west sides
save when doors were open and only
four small windows on the south side.
There seems to be a prejudice against
admitting light full and free into sta
BILE, belief that comfort in a stable
consists of making it dark and without
ventilation, and then the owners wonder
about great many things that happen
while their COWS are in the winter sta
bles.
A stable should be as light as the sun
can make it and the windows so large
that the sunlight can fall on the cows
and floors, and if one is afraid that
there will be too much falling of tenn
perature during the cold nights by re-
fraction put outside storm windows on,
the air space inclosed by which is a
sufficient protection. One of the finest
dairy herds 1 ever saw was actually
basking in sunlight. There were large
windows with outside storm sashes.
The temperature was kept very even,
and ventilation was secured by fues
and hampers, not by either cracks in
the walls or open windows.
The testimony everywhere is that the
men who have these well lighted stables
are warm in their praise. In my barn
would no more think of going back to
the dark little windows than of readopt
ing the 1850 plan of letting my COWS
sleep in the wood lot in winter. The
verdict everywhere is that the COWS are
better cared for, do better and are in
better health and strength for the abun-
dant light. A COW with the sunlight
falling on her in the stable is having
all the advantages of sun bath, and
thus escapes zero weather. In the well
lighted, sunny stable there are dryness
to the air and freedom from staleness
or disagreeable smells which repay one
over and over for the little outlay.
emphatically believe that the COW
stable should never be subbasement
affair or be walled in on the north side
with windowless stone wall. Stables
should run north and south and be SO
arranged that the morning sun comes
in on that side, the noon shines in the
south end window, and in the afternoon
the west windows should get their
share. My dairy barn is built this way,
and Iregard it as a capital plan, though
the windows are not extremely large
With sunlight and absorbents 1 have
not the least difficulty in keeping a
warm dry stable

Countless homes in every city in Amer
lea have been saved from the sad loss of
some desparing member by Paine's celery
compound.
The story of the life-work of the dis
coverer of this world famed remedy is ia
miliar to most readers. The likeness of
Dartmouth's greatest professor, Prof Ed
ward E. Phelps, M. D., LII. D., given
above, is the best portrait of him yet
printed.
Excepting it's handful of magnificent
statesmen and it's military heroes, says
the most recent writer upon and critic of
America, 1.-The people owe more to Dart
mouths physician teacher than to any
other one man.
'In every walk of life among the high
est office holders at the national capital

of the country families in comfortable
circumstances families that live from
hand to mouth, and could not, if they
wished, afford the services of any but an
ordinary physician everywhere l have
met people to whom Paine's celery com
pound has been blessing"
1t was the world famed discovery by
Prof. Phelps of an infallible cure for
those fearful ills that result from an i'm
paired nervous system and impure blood
which has endeared the great doctor to
the world, and made his life an era in the
practice of medicine.

Harvesting WILLOWS,

Osiers should be cut the first year,
even if no valuable material can be
got, according to an authority on
osier culture If the cutting is delayed
until the second year, branching takes
place and less valuable material is OBJ
tanned. They should be cut in the Sec
ond and third years also, but if there is
a good demand for hoop poles they
should be left uncut the fourth year to
grow for hoop poles, reaching sufficient
size for that purpose in from two to
four years. If there is no demand for
hoop poles, continue the yearly cuttings
until the growth becomes too slim for
basket purposes which is generally
from 10 to 10 years, when the osier
hollis must be renewed. The cutting of
rods should be done during the winter,
from Nov. to March /. Cut as near
the ground as possible. Tie in bundles
ten inches In diameter, and keep these
bundles in running water, standing up
right, four inches of the butts under
water until small leaves or sprouts ap-

1t appears that this worthy was stew

good abbot learned that his majesty
Henry VIII had seen fit to be indignant
because the monks had built kitchen
which he could not burn down. Now, a
kings indignation was dangerous and
must be appeased. Therefore the abbot
sent his steward, Jack Horner, to pre-
sent the sovereign with suitable peace
offering. 1t took the form of big and
tempting looking pie, beneath the crust
of which the transfer deeds of 10 man

But Master Jack had an eye for the
profit of No. /, and on the road he
slyly lifted the crust and distracted the
deeds of the Manor of Wells On his

explained that they had been given tC
