They Tell This in Paris.

In Paris wife, unreasonably in
censed against her husband, left him
and sojourned with her mother. He
entreated her to return, but she re-
manned obdurate. Then he wrote a
letter, which ran thus: ''When you
have read this letter the writer will
have ceased to live" Much alarmed
she summoned a doctor and hurried
to the home she had deserted. They
knocked at the door; there was no an
swer. They burst it open, and there
was the unfortunate husband hanging
by the neck in dim corner, quite
dead. The wife flung herself upon
her knees in paroxysm of remorse,
but the doctor quietly cut the body
down and found that it was lay fig
ure. At that moment the husband APP
peared at the door, calm and slightly
quizzical. Instead of overwhelming
him with reproaches for his detestable
stratagem, the lady fell into his arms
and vowed that she would never leavs
him gain.-Chicago Times-Herald.

LONGEST ON RECORD.
the Whole Evening Service at
ChiId's Baptism.

Rev. DR.. Campbell Fair, dean of the
cathedral at Omaha, Neb., lately told a
story in the course of one of his SER
mons which seemed to be much appreci-
ated by the congregation.
When rector of the largest church in
Grand Rapids, Mich, DR.. Fair said, he
was requested to baptize child in the
private home of one of the wealthiest
members of his congregation, notwith-
standing the law in the Episcopal
church which prohibits baptism in a
private home save where the person to
be baptized is in a state bordering on
death.
When DR.. Fair arrived at the home,
supposing he was to baptize q sick
child, he was more than astonished to
find most elaborate order of arrange
ments laid out. The spacious rooms
were filed with relatives and friends,
and splendid repast at the hands of a
fashionable caterer was awaiting the
conclusion of the ceremony.
When the infant was introduced,
trimming over with vitality, DR.. Fair
took in the situation at a glance and de-
cided instantly upon his course. He
announced to the assemblage that he
was about to take the entire evening
service, as was his custom when large
congregation was present, and he went
through the whole service of 45 minutes,
including the reading of two lessons.
After this he courteously and mildly in
formed the astonished congregation
that it was likewise his custom to take
baby was produced and baptism was
duly administered. twas the only
child that DR.. Fair baptized in that
family Sun.

FRIENDS.

Not he that counts my errors,
Not he that holds me back
With doubling words to show me
Wherein and how l lack;
Not he that sees my failings;
And, seeing them, is free
To take my measure by them
He's not the friend for me.
But he that learns my virtues,
Who takes me at my best:
Who notes my greatest failings
And overlooks the rest;
Who. after / have striven
And have not failed, is free
With words of commenda ton
He is the friend for me.
He that forever warns me
OF dangers in my way,
Who doubts my strength to meet them
And ever bids me stay,
May truly seek to shield me,
May wish me well, but he
Whose faith is inspiration
He is the friend for me.

the sound very slowly. Soldiers and
sailors were running and shouting on
the deck below.
"Cherub is mad! Shoot the brute!
Look out up there!" All these words
we heard. Then Cherub dashed up the
companionway. His chain dragged be-
hind. His fangs were horrible to see.
A sailor in his way was thrown over,
and to-day there is an ugly scar on his
throat. Others were bitten. Shadow
was speaking in a low voice. We could
not understand. The bloodhound and
the boy were close together. We, who
were watching, shuddered. Slowly,
cautiously, dark hand moved out and
grasped the chain. The red, flashing
orbs of the brute lowered from Shad-
ow's gaze. We hoped no more when the
bloodhound growled.
Without haste, seemingly, the dark
hand holding the chain moved toward
the halyards. The fingers worked
swiftly for moment, but how long it
seemed to us!
Then like flash Shadow was beyond
the length of the chain, and laughing
like one whose nerve is gone. Cherub
beat his body upon the deck and upon
the halyards.
We were in the tropics where there is
TO cure for canine madness; Cherub
did not roar or suffer long, and for him
Shadow, who loved all things small and
great, wept long.
But out of that grief there came to
the heart of the little dusky boy joy
sweet and lasting, for somehow the
men from the south who stood upon the
hurricane deck that day forgot pride
and prejudice.
And now the troop is securing the
mist-hung hills of Porto Rico--peering
into caves and searching lonely high
land shacks-for Spaniards who were
once soldiers and now guerrillas.
Shadow is with them, and there is

would not charge through leaden hail
to save him from harm. And only when
the men talk of Cherub, the vicious and
massive jawed, does the darby boy look
away and seem unhappy Detroit Free

ABOUT SCABBY SHEEP.
Why the Ordinary Farmer Cannot
Afford to Buy Them Even ut
Great Bargain.

The states of the west are now we'll
stocked with sheep scab, says the
Farmer. Many, perhaps most, of the
fiocks are as yet free, but in almost
every county, and frequently in many
places in the same county, there are
t1ocks of sheep that have either been
brought in from the west or have been
in contact with sheep brought in from
the west that are affected with the
scab. The ordinary man cannot af-
ford to take a scabby sheep as gift.
The well posted, careful farmer can
afford to take them, provided he has
no sheep of his own, at low price, be-
cause he can by great care and twice
dipping cure them, but he would have
to buy them at much less than their
value to be justified in going to the en-
pense, labor and risk. Farmers, there
fore, who are wishing to stock up with
sheep will need to keep their eyes
open, and if they keep their ears open
to the gossip of the stockmen of the
neighborhood it will not be to their
disadvantage. No man ever gets scab
in his flock without bitterly regretting
it, and the inexperienced farmer had
better have no sheep than have sheep
even at half price that have been in
contact with scabby sheep. Every
flock brought in from the west in the
last year is liable to suspicion, and the
same liability to suspicion attaches to
every flock with which any individual
western sheep has been even fer an
hour in contact.

ENGLISH PHEASANTS.

they stay is surrounded with six-foot
wire netting and contains three acres
of well-drained land.
The food of the old pheasants is the
same as that of the common fowls, en-
cept in breeding season that we give
them some barley meal. 1 estimate
that it costs about one dollar each to
raise the pheasants to six months of
age. The males weigh 2H pounds, fe-
males two pounds. We have but little
trouble with hawks or other pests.
There is no shade in the field and we
provide during hot weather an artificial
shade by means of boards. Pheasants
are very hardy and we never keep them
confined because of wet weather or wet
grass. The young pheasants are fed
largely on patent meal obtained from
England, made especially for pleas
ants. They could be raised on maggots,
but these are offensive to have on the
place where there are visitors. There
is a good demand for pheasants for
stocking parks, game preserves and pri-
waite grounds, the lowest price being
S36 per dozen. When the pheasants get
away they make for brook or run
ming water, hence we can usually man
age to catch them, although with some
difficulty.
During the blizzard of November, in
which the aviaries were drifted full of
snow up to the very top, under all this
snow were so breeding pheasants. Men
started to dig them out, which took a
number of days, and the sixth day they
supposed they had them all, but it
seems they had not gotten a few of
them, which were recovered from the
snow after II days and lived through it.
Ability to stay showed under for II
days without food or water, and to come
out bright and in good order, is good
enough indication of hardiness.-Amer.

PRESERVING EGGS.
Results OF Recent Expo rimcnt at the
Canadian Government Farm
at Ottawa.

The Canadian experiment farm at
Ottawa is interested in poultry expert
ments. Among other things, Prof.
Shut, the chemist, has been testing
preservatives for eggs. Lime water
and water glass" were used. The
lime water was made by putting two
or three pounds of fresh lime in five
gallons of water and stirring it we'll
at intervals. It is then allowed to set
tie and the clear fluid left is poured
over the eggs, which are placed in a
crock or alright barrel. It is some
times recommended to add pound or
so of salt to the lime water, but this
did not seem advisable in this expert
ment. What is known as "water
glass" is silicate of soda. It is fluid
costing GO cents per gallon. 1t is very
caustic, and more disagreeable to use
than lime water. Perfectly fresh eggs
should be used and the fluid used in
preserving should fully cover the eggs.
A ten per cent. solution of the ''water
glass; was used. Both fluids gave good
satisfaction and thoroughly preserved
the eggs. There was shrinkage of
the large air space in all cases and in
some instances the yolk stuck to the
shell. The whites of the preserved
eggs turned faint yellow, which tint
became deeper on boiling. No offensive
odor was perceived when the eggs were
broken, but when cooked a faint
musty or stale odor developed. Proba-
bly, no preservative will prevent the loss
OF flavor possessed by the fresh egg.
AS between the lime, water and the
water glass; there was little to choose
except that the lime, is cheaper and
easier to handle.

Fresh Lime In Danrerous.

1t is not advisa BILE to leave fresh lime
where the poultry can, get it, or even
lime that is Stacked but yet remains

is safe, but it is hard to tell at what
point lime plaster ceases 10 be danger

reach of poultry that; was so strong
one could not bear it in the mouth. 1t
is possible that the poultry would re-
fuse to eat such, but the good sense of
fowls cannot be depended on. It is
generally easy to- obtain enough old
plaster, and if not it is easy to mix lime
and gravel and allow IT tt, form plaster.
The progressive poultryman, however,
can afford to pay sonnet thing for oyster
shell grit, which is already prepared.
A man can prepare it, but the trouble
is most men cannot get around to. it. -
