Cine OF Life's tragedies.

A story was told by London Truth
not long since and its correctness
vouched for, which shows the folly of
acting hastily and impulsively in i'm
portant concerns in life.
The son Of very wealthy man at his
fathers death found himself free to in
dulge every whim. He had yachts,
horses, an island on which he played
king at his pleasure He was not an
immoral man, but idle and foolish
One day while using long distance
telephone he was charmed by the voice
of the operator at the other end of the
line He managed to discover that it
was that of woman, young, single
and pretty In the course of a few days
he convinced himself that the owner
Of the voice was the one human being
who should be his wife and that life
would be empty and desolate without
her.
The girl was poor and listened to his
proposals. He cabled her money to buy
her trousseau and to secure chaperon
TO accompany her to the town where he
resided.
In due time she arrived Her looks
were as attractive as her voice. He
married her and few days later was
found dead by his own hand in his
room. He left no explanation beyond
the words 81 have made a mistake, .

How Often to Feed Cows.

The cow is ruminant animal, and
this means that she takes time to digest
her food in the most thorough manner.
If fed literally night and morning and
in sufficient variety, she will eat more
heartily than if three full meals are
offered to her per day. At noon few
cornstalks or clover hay may be given.
In feeding grain to COWS it should be
ground and mixed with enough cut
feed to make it bulky. If cows eat
whole grain or meal not mixed with
cut food, it goes to their second stom-
ach and does not come up to be chewed
in the cud. Boston Culrivator

The "Terrier.S

A document known by the name of a
''terrier" is supposed to be kept at ev-
cry old parish church setting forth the
sources Of the income of the benefice-
especially glebe lands; hence the deriva-
ton from the Latin "terra." Ignorance
Of this purely technical term led a
clergyman into curious mistake. He
was a sporting parson and had just
been appointed to his first living. Dur
ing the early days of his incumbency
he received form from the bishop
which he was required to fill up
Among the questions asked was edo
you keep a terrier?''
"No," wrote the cleric in reply,

She swept the Street.

A newly arrived Irish servant was in

morning of service she was told to 60

an hour the housekeeper went out to see
what had become of the new servant
She was seen way down at the end of

the blocks length, and she said she

UGLY BULLS.
Let Them Work the Tread Power
Every Day.

Every Day.
Ez-Mayor W. L. Huntc1 c. Cumbc--
land, Wis, was recently nearly gored
to death by a Jersey bull on his stock
farm near that city. Hardly a week
passes, says Hoard s Dairyman, that we
do not read of similar instances The
other day neighbor who has fine
Jersey bull found that he had broken
out of the stable and had literally torn
heavy gate and barn door in fin
ders. It was with difficulty that the
animal was finally got into the sta
ble The owner had never even put
ring in his nose Some men exercise an
almost criminal Indifference and trust
in their bulls, only to wake up to the
fatal error when it is everlastingly too
Late
1t is no wonder that the bull gets
ugly Any man of average spirit shut
up as the bull is, in nine cases out Of
ten would become frantic with rage
The bull should have plenty of exercise
both for the sake of his health and his
certainty as a stock getter. No better
way on earth has ever been devised to
tame an ugly bull, keep him in good
health and teach him proper subsection
than to put him ON a tread power for
an hour every day. Any dairyman with
Is or 20 COWS should be provided with
a good tread power and feed cutter.
They will pay big profit in the cut
ting of all the coarse fodder, and if the
owner has silo then they will come all
the more in play. But, whether there
is anything to cut or not, put the bull
on the power every day and give him
his exercise.
It will make him good tempered, doc
lie and useful All good bulls are apt
to have a strong, highly organized tenn
permanent. If they become inclined to
be ugly, then we send them to the
stockyard. Half of the bulls in the
country are sold before the owner
knows what is the quality of their
breeding power. This is wrong and op-
posed to good dairy sense With the
daily exercises on the tread power the
bull can be kept to 10 or more years OF
age if he proves to be valuable sire of
dairy COWS.

DEPENDS ON THE WHEEL.
Great Care Taken in Making This
Important Part of Rail-
way Vehicle.

Very few of the millions of human
beings who patronize the steam rail-
roads of this country realize the vast
amount of work which the railroad cor
porations have done in the effort to
perfect the modern car wheel. No
matter how palatial the interior of the
coach or the sleeper may appear, and
no matter how solid and substantial
the framework may be, all depends
upon the wheel.
1t must be remembered that no his
torical sketch tells US the name and ma
tionality of the inventor of the wheel,
and yet, away back in the dim mists of
antiquity, some human genius per-
ceived the vast benefits that might be
derived from taking advantage of a
solid body in the form of circle,
which. with slight resistance, might be
moved along with heavy load resting
upon it.
The common cart, the farm wagon,
the carriage, the street car, the bicy-
Gle and the locomotive all work upon
this principle. 1t was one of the most
wonderful of primitive inventions.
To-day the common wheel-nothing
less than complete circles the base
and foundation of all our advancement.
The different railroad mechanics are
endeayoring to make it still more reli-
able and perfect, and the problems of
centrifugal and centripetal forces and
also the effects of thermal heat have
been carefully Investigated.
The Pennsylvania railroad makes its
own wheels in the Altoona shops and
makes them very carefully. The rim
is chilled by a body of water kept
around it in the casting flask" so that
it becomes harder than the body. They
run set of wheels 10000 miles
on a passenger coach and then put
them on a freight car. These figures
are from memory, but it is in the
neighborhood of 100000 miles. That is
very short life for wheel and shows
great care. They have one of their AZ
inch wheels that has run over zoe, 900
miles and 36-inch wheel that has run
600, 900 miles.
But after this comes the question of
the effects of polarity. A wheel run
ming north and south will last longer
than wheels running east and west.
Men well versed in the science of mag
netism and the effects of molecular mo-
ton have studied this problem. but
they have not clearly defined or ex-
planned the phenomena which have
caused the variations. = Pittsburgh
