A HEAVY CLAIM.

called down the road the other day
to look up an accident that we had.
We had run into an old farmer 3
wife, breaking both of her legs and
an arm and using her up generally.
/ received orders from the general
manager to go posthaste to the
point of the accident and settle for
it on the best terms | could get.
''Just before / left the manager

smile that ! had better look into
that, too, while | was about it, as it
would not take me out ofmy way.

for FIVE yards OF calico. with the
threat that if we didn't settle for it
Immediately suit would be com.
menced to compel us to. The claim
was very vague, no reason being
given why We should pay for five
yards of calico, and l resolved to
look the matter up to satisfy my
own curiosity il nothing else.

more serious, so ! looked that up

Value of a Laugh.

The value of good natured
laugh may be rated low by some
people, but many writer's have at
tested its worth in no measured
terms.
It is not surprising that the mer-
ry Charles Lamb should have said
"a laugh is worth more than LOG
groans in any Market" but from the
lips of the sombre Carlye one ID
prepared TO hear, mo man W no has
once heartily ana wholly laughed
can be altogether or irreclaimably
bad"
1t was Douglas Jerrold who bold
~ stated that "what was talked oil
as the golden chain of Jove was
nothing but succession of laughs
chromatic scale OF merrimeni
reaching from earth to Olympus.
Il am persuaded wrote Laur
ence Sterne, that-every time man
smiles, but much more so when he
laughs, it adds something to his
fragment of life."
Last of all comes the verdict O.
DR.. Holmes, given with his own in
imitable humor: "The riotous tn.
multi of laugh, / take it, il the
mob law Of the features and pro-
ptiety the magistrate who reads the
riot t."--Youths Companion.

One afternoon, while fishing for
tarpon, / received a terrible blow ON
the back of the head which threw me
out of the boat into the water and
almost stunned me. l was pulled
back by my guide into the. boat,
which was floating full of water, and
found, lying full length in it, por-
poise about nine feet long, which
probably weighed over 500 pounds.
OF course this fish never..struck me.

quently do, and landed, head first
at my feet in the stern of the boat
knocking a hole through the ceiling
and bottom of the boat and stunning
himself. The blow which /, receiv-
ed was caused by his body falling
up on me.
The nearest rowboat was several
hundred yards off, as We feared the
porpoise might recover at any mo-
ment and smash the boat to pieces
with his tail, my guide, Santa ASme-
da, tried to push the porpoise over
the edge Of the boat, but was unable
TO do SO, owing to the fish's weight.
Rather than take the consequences
of what might happen if the porpoise
came to before we were taken out OF
the boat. we slipped into the water
and rolled the boat over, loosing
everything in the boat, but glad to
do so, as it included the porpoise.-

POULTRY HINTS.

Oats for muscle.
Learn how TO feed.
Wbeat for feathers.
Grit must be shary.
Feed before you water.
Clean out the troughs daily.
Don't make the mash sloppy.
Hens Ike dark places TO lay In.
Give the hans all the skim milk
you can.
Corn is of little use for m ,lting
fowls,
Millst seed is a great egg prodac-
ing grain.
Sour hash should not be fed to
fow's.
A little salt 10 the soft food Civ
en- to the fowls will be acceptable.
One OF the best remedies for over
fatness is plenty OF exercise.
1t will always be found to be best
TO feed according TO the breed.
Give the young stock ell the
chance possible and keep them in
good flesh.
Provide the hens with comforts
OF chicken life-they return the COM
p'iments.
The pullet that begins to lay the
earliest in life will lay the largest
number Of eggs.
Moulting fowls need something
very nutritious, something that will
make feathers.
The hen can see the smallest seed
on the ground, and every square
inch of the surface is carefully
searched
When the hens have been fed on
grain exclusively, they soon begin
to show the effects of sameness OF
diet.
Fowls need a variety OF food. but
it should be given them at q certain
fixed time, and not too much at a
time.
The poultry raiser who does not
now feed his focks with 8 definite
idea or purpose, is greatly behind
the times.
Give good wholesome food in a
variety OF grain, any good green
stuff. If the fowls are in a yard.
feed cut bona or animal meal.

A COOKED HUSBAND.


Many model housewife fails to
retain the love of her husband as
she would Ike. She can prepare
the most appetizing dishes, broil q
steak to perfection, bale bread. The
angels might desire and achieve
grand culinary trumphs. Yet the
man who has sworn at the altar to
cherish her seems not quite salts
fec, for the simple reason that his
wife 10 deficient 10 some important
qualities. At a recent meeting of
the Baltimore Cooking School, Miss
Corson said that a Harrisburg lady
had writt,n recipe for cooking q
husband SO as to make them tender
and good.' 1t is as follows:
"A good many husbands are ut
terly spoiled by misnanagemen..
Some women 60 about it as if their
husbands were blad iers, and blow
them up. Others keep them con-
stantly in hot water; others let them
freeze by their carelessness and in
difference. Some keep them in a
stew by irrating ways and words.
Others roast them. Some keep them
in pickle all their lives. 1t cannot
be supposed that any husband will
be tender and good, managed in this
way, but they are really delicious
when properly treat cd. In select
ing your husband 20 should not be
guided by the silvery appearance, as
in buying mackerel, or by the golden
tint, as if you wanted salmon. Be
sure to select him yourself, as tastes
differ. Do not go to market for him
as the best are always brought to
your door. 1t is far better to have
none ualess you will patiently learn
how to cook him. A preserving
kettle of the finest porcelain is best,
but 1T you have nothing but an earth.
enware pipkin, it will do with care.
see that the linen in which you wrap
him is nicely washed an mended,
with the required number of buttons
and strings nicely sewed on. Tie
him in the kettle by strong silk
cord called comfort, as the one call
ed duty is apt to be weak. They are
apt to fly out of the kettle and be
burned and crusty on the edges,
since like the crabs and Holsters, you
have to cook them while alive. Make
a clear steady fire out of love, neat
ness, and cheeriulness' Set him as
near this as seems to agree with him
II he sputters and fixes, do not
be anxious, some husbands do this
till they are quite done. Add lit.
tie sugar in the form of what con.
PETITIONERS call kisses, but no vine-
gar or pepper, on any account. A
little spice improves them, but it
must be used with judgment. Do
not stick any.sharp instruments into
him to see if he is becoming tender.
Stir him gently; watch the while,
lest he lay to fat and close the ket.
tie, and SO becomes useless. You
cannot fail TO know when he is
done. IF thus treated, you will find
him very digestible, agreeing nicely
with you and the children, and he
will keep as long as you want, ur-
less you become careless and set him
in too cold a place.
The woman who can use this re-
cipe ski.lfully, in connection with
good victuals, need not fear that her
hubby will be raw specimen of un-
done humanity. On the contrary,
he will be dainty morsel of do
