A young man whose work keeps him

Now, if there is one thing in particular
that this youth dotes upon it is Jelly. But
Jelly IS an article of food that takes time
and skill in its preparation, and if the lady
left her Jelly jars at his disposal-well, there
would be none to dispose of after few
mornings. So the jelly Is locked up the
tightest of all.
The other morning the youth let himself

dawn were cross-barring the eastern sky.
There was milk and bread awaiting him,
but his soul craved for jelly. He determined
ohunt for some. Taking slice of bread and
knife he stole down cellar and searched the
fruit shelves. What happiness! He dimly
made out the outlines of Jelly jar. Was
there any jelly in it? He dipped in his knife

He drew out a generous quantity and

spreading was done he smacked his lipa
tightly and took generous bite.
No, it wasn't Jelly. 1t was soft soap.

LITTLE CHILDREN.
Great Care Should Re ExeFcised In
the Bringing Up of the
Young.

There is nothing more attractive
to right-minded and right-thinking
people than charming children. All
children are charming in proportion
as they fulfil the requirements OF
good child nature. It is oniy children
whose natures nave been distorted
by the folly or vanity of their parents
that are the cause of the prejudice
which undoubtedly does exist against
children in the abstract, says the New
York Tribune.
The child is the reflection of his
surroundings, yet it is not the poor
little waif, the child of the slums,
which is apt to become menace to
the peace of the community, but the
child of well-to-do parents, the we'll
fed, well-clothed urchin whose moral
nature has been left to develop with
out any of the refining influence that
often comes to the poorer child from
the self-sacrifice which is one of the
safeguards of the poor. A recogni'
ton of the brotherhood of mankind
is a part of the life of the poor. There
is always some one to help with the
scanty means, and this help is given
with a more lavish hand in proportion
to the means of the giver than among
the well-to-do or the very wealthy
classes. The very poor child learns
generosity from its cradle. The we'll
to-lo child is often taught selfshnesa
by example. Foolish, infatuated pa
rents are likely to resent and restric-
tions placed upon their children, and
are thus responsible for this oft-heard
antagonism toward children.
There is no prejudice against the
innocence and loveliness of childhood.
On the contrary, there was never q
time when pure, lovely type of child
hood excited more admiration than at
present. This is because it is so rare.
Children who are no longer children
in spirit, but simply exaggerated rep
reservations of their parents selfish
ness, can enter no plea for admira-
ton on account of the innocence OF
childhood. There are too many chill
dren who assume the prerogative that
belongs to age, and are in consequence
entitled to no exemption on account
Of their lack Of experience.

ORIENTAL DIPLOMACY.
An Instance Of the Japsnese Iaea Of
Carrying Through Coed
Joke.

It was At the time Of the exhibition in
1867. A Japanese embassy went to Paris
to treat for three free ports in France, in
return for which England was to have three
in Japan. The negotiations proved short
and amiable, says London King. 49,
make your choice" said Japan, we win
choose afterward."
The minister of foreign affairs selected
Yokohama, Yeddo and Hang Yang.
The embassy made no objection; they
simply smiled and went on their way.
Some time afterward Japan sent word
that the three ports mentioned were agreed
to, and in return Japan desired Havre, Mar.
seilles and Southampton.
This last named gave the French officials
hts: They never laughed 50 much before,
and certainly never since. Southampton z

but unmistakably, they explained the sit.

"Why, Southampton is in England" they
replied.

PAsTURING SORGHUM.
Information with Regard to the
Danger Limit In Feeding
Sorghum to Cattle.

A great many letters have come to
the experiment station asking for ad-
vice as to pasturing sorghum. The
publicity given to the injurious ef-
fects of sorghum through the inves-
tipations carried on by this station
to ascertain the cause, has moved peo-
pie not heretofore acquainted with
this occasionally exhibited popularity
of the plant to become suspicious OF
it. While no further positive infor-
nation has been obtained on the sub
1ect, there vet remains a word or two
that may be profitably spoken.
The records of this station do not
show any cases of sudden death from
sorghum occurring in the eastern
portion of Nebraska, with the eXceP-
ton of few which occurred on sec
ond growth sorghum. There is also
reason to believe that plants produc-
ing this disastrous effect have not
made healthy growth, and are yell
low and wilted, n condition easily de-
tected by the farmer. 1t would there-
fore seem reasonable to conclude than
no danger is to be encountered in
pasturing sorghum of healthy growth.
Again it would appear that no dan
ger is incurred if the sorghum is fed
after cutting and allowing it to lie
for some time. A sample of sorghum
was recently received by the station
with a letter accompanying it stating
that the plants We're parts of a very
few partially eaten by a COW which
was killed by them in two minutes.
The sample was fed to COW on the
station farm without injuring her in
the least. This, together with the
fact that no poison has been detected
in samples sent to the station for
analysis, would indicate that any
toxic substances which the plants
might have contained, had become
dissipated after cutting. The length
of time required from this is not
known, but it is certainly accom-
plished in a few days. AS sorghum
is undoubtedly the best annual mid
summer forage crop for this region,
| it is important that its limitations
| should be well defined. The use OF
healthy sorghum for pasturage with
the ordinary precautions, and OF
{, sorghum hay, may be considered safe.

Bees need pure water just as much
as any stock upon the farm needs it..
1t is very disgusting to see bees hover
ing over pool of water, the very
stencil of which forbids approach to
it. However, the bees must carry
water to their young brood, and il
their negligent keeper fails to provide
better water, they are forced to bring
in what they can find. Water can
easily be supplied to the bees: All
that is necessary is to put something
in the trough of water to prevent the
bees from being drowned. OF course
a running stream is better than any
thing else, but this article is addressed
