A Boy to Depend Upon.

jeremiah Jones is even meaner than
the man who split up his wife's tomb
stone TO repair bis doorstep. Jones was
an inyeierate tobacco smoker, but, as
his wife detested the practice and made
home tenpestuous and stormy for him
when he INDUCED in the habit there,
he always smoked when away during
the day, and declared to his better half
that he had stopped permanently:-Btst
one evening, upon entering the front
door and drawing out his handkerchief,
he accidentally pulled out his pouch Of
tobacco, and, without noticing it, left
it lying on the floor.
When Jones sat down TO his supper,
his wife walked in with the tobacco in
her hand, and looking Jones firmly in
the eye, said: "DO you know who this
belongs to ?i'
With great presence of mind, Jones
turned, scowling, to his eldest son and
said, with a severe voice: Immortal
Marsi Is it possible that you have be-
gun to smoke? You young reprobate
Where'd you get that nasty stuff :
What do you mean by such conduct,
you young villain2 Haven't I told
you ofen enough to let tobacco alone z
Come here to me, or I'll tear the coat
of you.n
As he spoke, the stern father made a
grab at the boy and dragged him out
into the hallway, where he chastised
him with cane.
Then Jones thew the tobacco over
the fence, where he went out and got
it the next morning and enjoyed it
during the day.
"Merciful hesvensr' he exclaimed,
when he told US about it. "What
should / have done il my children had
all been girls? 1t makes an old fathers
heart glad when he feels that he has a
boy he can depend upon in such emer-
geneies."

Here is the latest story Of the man
who is too stingy to take his home pa
per: "a man who was too economical
to take this paper sent his little boy 20
borrow the copy taken by his neighbor.
In his haste the boy ran over a 81 stand
Of bees and in ten minutes looked like
warty summer squash. His cries
reached his father, who ran to bis as
sistauce, and falling to DOtice barbed
wire fence, ran into that, breaking it
down, cutting a handful Of flesh from
mis- anatomy and running a - pair OF
pants. The old COW took advantage
Of the gap in the fence and got intothe
cOrnfeld, and killed herself eating
green corn. Hearing the racket, the
wife ran, upset fOur-gallon churn full
Of rich cream into a basket Of kittens,
drowning the whole flock. In the
hurry she dropped a 81 set of false
teeth. The baby, left alone, erawled
through the spilled milk and into the
parlcr, running brand new SO carpet.
During the excitement the oldest
daughter ran away with the hired
man; the dog broke up II setting hens,
and the calves got out and ehewed the
tails Off four fine shirts. kansas City

Gun Firing and Deafness.

The stunning report Of each gun as
It Is fired is something that a stranger
on the deck will long remember.
There is an old saying. deaf as a
post" Now, in the royal navy, this
Is changed to "desf as a post captain"
No man can go through a long series
Of gunnery practices without having
his hearing seriously affected. Some
men put cotton wool in their ears, but
even this precaution does little to
deaden the terrible shock. And If the
firing OF one or two guns has such a
shattering power, what would be the
effect il the whole armament were in
action together?
1t is almost impossible to conceive
the strain upon nerve and senses Of the
rending conclusion. II visitor
watches the firing of one of the mon
ster nineinch guns, and then places
himself beside one of the small pieces.
the report made by the one will not
appear much louder than that of the
other. The extra distance to the muz-
zle of the big piece discounts the
sounds. The only apparent difference
between the two appears to be that the
small pieces have a sharper, higher
pitched note, and that the six and
nine-inch guns speak with more of a
believing roar. One piece of advice
may be given to anyone who finds
himself in the neighborhood of a gun
in action. The noise will not have
nearly the same effect if you are
watching the gun as if the crash comes
Unexpectedly. Uneonsciously nature
prepares you to resist shock which is
known to be impending.

The late Gen. I.awton. admittedly
the greatest Indian fighter of the
army, with all his energy, persever-
ance and natural military genius, was
as conspicucusly modest as Gen. Grant.
On public occasions, says writer in
the New York Tribune, he was as BASH
ful as a girl, and as his great height
made him the center OF attention 10 a
crowd, there were many occasions
when his bashfalnsss was evidently
painful. Admiral Bradford, who is one
Of the giants of the navy, first met Gen.
Lawton just after the famous 1,600
mile chase for Geronimo, wherein he
had displayed that genius for moving
his men which was so conspicuous
throughout the Philippine campaign.
81 went TO the white house reception
in 1886 for the first time,r says Admit
raj Bradford, "and when got into the
jam Of the east room could see moth
ing bat a sea OF heads, until found
myself looking above the crowd at a
handsome young man, whose whole
head stood above the general level.
He was the hero of the hour, just back
from his capture of GeronimO's band,
and apparently was suffering agonies
from the attentions shOwered upon
him."
When Gen. Lawton came home from
Cuba last year, it was found that he
had gained no more self possession
than he exhibited when unwillingly
lionized ten years before. The presi-
dent insisted upon his going 70 Ala
bama with him when Tuskegee was
visited At Montgomery the president
and Gen. Wheeler spoke, and there
was elequence on ali sides. Finally
the governor Of Alabama introduced
Gen. Lawton as ''the hero OfSantiagO.n
Lawton was forced to say something.
1t is said to be the single speech Of his
life. He stood for long time, bowling
to the wildly cheering crowd, and after
several attempts to hide himself, only
to be lifted to his feet again, he was
finally induced by the president to
make some response to the applause.
He advanced to the frOnt, and when
he could be heard, said simply:
81 am not hero. am just regu-
lar. l can't make speech. Thank
you.n
Then ne succeeded in hiding him
self for the rest Of the tour.
His last appearance in Washington
was at great Gridiron club dinner to
the army and navy. Gen. Shafter un-
rolled manuscript and read few re-
marks; Schley, with his ready wit and
ease, charmed everybody; Sigsbee talk
ed well amid cheers; Gen. Breckinridge
was az eloquent as usual, but when
Lagton was called, he rose, trembling,
and after bowing in silence took his
seat.
No greater ovation was ever given
man than he received when his name
was uttered. There was cheering and
waving Of napkins forseveral minutes
The guests all rose to their feet, while
he alone remained seated. Afterward
he declared that it was hundred times
as bad as the assault on FL Cauey.

Keep the Teeth Clean.

DR.. Oliver, in the Texas Dental Jour
nal, in an article upon "Oral Hygiene, y
believes that the teeth should be looked
after by competent dentist from the
time when the child begins to cut its
first teeth, and says that he has seen
the first teeth ruined by rubbing
through the gums with a thimble or
scalpel, breaking the enamel before the
teeth have come to light. He cautions
people against cutting and slashing
the gums OF an infant, unless it is ab-
solutely essential, and in any csse it
should de done by competent person.
Not only are the first teeth liable to
injury from upwise and unskillful in
references, bat the embryonic second
or permanent teeth may be injured
He defines orl hygiene TO be ''the
keeping of clean, sweet and healthy
mouth from youth up to old age"
Apropos Of this the Dominion Dental
Journal says that many persons toler-
rate more filth and disease in their
mouths than they would on their feet.
The mouth is the portal of life and
health.

Too Many Dogs in Kansas.

Kansas has suffered in years past
from an overproduetion of grasshop-
pers and PopuIists. 1t is now afflicted
Il appears, with a surplusage Of dogs.
1t is long on dogs, but shor. on sheep
The secretary OF the Kansas State
Agricultural Society deplores this fact
in a recent report. He shows that
there are but 200, 600 sheep in the state,
while the number OF dogs is l76, 600.
Two years ago the sheep outnumbered
the dogs by 30 per cent, while last year
this percentage was reduced to IL. In
one county there were 800 dogs to each
sheep, and in twelve selected counties
there were 300 dogs to each sheep. II
a similar investigation were made in
other States, we doubt not that some OF
them would show an equal dispropor-
tiOn Of dogs and sheep. But 1t is not
good sign anywhere. Prosperity for
the farmer does not lie along the way
of an increase in the dog crop.

Origin of Visiting Cards.

"The use Of visiting cards dates back
to quite an antiquity" explains Mrs.
V.n Koert Schuyler, in the Ladies
Home Journal Formerly the porter
at the lodge or door Of great houses
kept visitors book, in which he
scrawled his idea Of the names OF those
who called upon the master and his
family, and to whose inspection it was
submitted from time to time. One
fine gentleman, scion Of the nobility
from the FaubOurg St. Germain, was
shocked to find that his porter kept 20
poor register Of the names of those
who had called upon him. The names,
badly written with spluttering pen
and pale or muddy ink, suggested to
him the idea Of writing his own name
upon slips Of paper or bits Of card
board in advance Of calling upon his
neighb0rs lest his name should fare as
badly as the hands of their pOrters-
This custom soon became generally
established"

Care of Milk and Churning.

As soon as drawn from the COW, put
the milk where no bad odOrs csn reach

strain it into the can and place it in
tank of cold water or run through the
separator, if one is used. If ice is plen-
tiful, reduce the temperature OF the

mix the nights and mornings milk

Change the water in the tank often

Secret of His Success

Mr.. Chauncey NJ. Depew is one Of
the most accessible men to newspaper
reporters, and he receives them all in
the same genial manner with which
he receives his personal friends. He
is said to attribute a large part Of his
popularity to newspapers.
"FOr," as he said TO friend not long
ago, 81 always treat the papers we'll
and they always do the same by me-"
A reporter asked him the other day how
much time in week he gave to inter
viewers. "Oh, about two hours day."
he replied. "You must be pretty good
natured, the newspaper man said
81 have never seen him anything
else,n Harry Duval, his secretary, in
terpOsed.
"Well, you see" laughed Depew, sit
pays to be good-natured. l think just
as does this lady from whom received
letter this morning, beginning ''It's
sweet to live Now, what do you
think of that2 I dent know what
she's driving at, but it is sweet to live,
isn't it?"
And the reporter left with the sound
of Depew's hearty laugh sounding in
his ears.

Save the EggshsIls

Eggshells are valuable. They should
not be thrown away. They are par
tieularly .sluable in the spring when
young 5roOds Of chicks are to be pro-
vided for. Little chicks need grit.
They need it from the very moment
they are put out Of doors with the
mother hen. It is the common prse-
tice then to stuff them with doughy
mixtures exclusively, and great armies
Of them are slain every year by this
method Of feeding Comparatively
few people know that the addition Of
some gritty matter at this time would
to a great extent stop this slaughter.
The poultry supply houses have for
sale chick grit, and it is an excellent
article to keep on hand, hut egg shells
make a pretty fair substitute for it.
Place the shells in the oven Of the
kitchen stove and subject them to
slow heat until they are thoroughly
dried. They will then be quite brittle
and can be crushed into small PARTICLES.
Place some Of this near the coop where
the chicks can get it every day. 1t will
save the lives Of many youngsters
which would otherwise fall victims to
stomach and bowel troubles.-Farmers'
Voice.

He Ten. the Truth

A Pennsylvania editor who loves
thc truth says:
"Wiliie Shortlike and Bette Bloom
ers were married last evening. The
church was prettily decorated with
flowers aud potted plants, borrowed
promis euousiy all over town from peo-
pie who didn't want to lend them.
The decoration was done under protest
by some Of the members Of the church,
who were asked to do 50 by the bride,
and couldn't well refuse. The ladies
are Of the opinion that II the couple
were 50 bent on having a stylish we'd
ding they should have been willing to
have paid someone to chase all over
the town for a day getting flowers to-
gether and then taking them home
again.
The bride wore handsome Silver
stein gown, made at home, and the
groom was decked in $40 handsme-
down suit. The ushers wore eutawsy
coats borrowed for the occasion. Sallie
Potts was maid Of honor, and the con-
census Of opinion was that she was ,
to better than the bride. The young
couple took the morning train to Pitts
burg, where they viii spend more
money in a few days than Willie can
earn in three months.
willie says that now he's married
he's going to settle down. some Of
our merchants think it would have
been better if he had settled down
first. The groom gets a salary Of S27 a
month, which is about the allowance
Bette has been used to for pin money.
We wish for Willie's sake chat the old
saying that it takes no more to support
two than one wasn't lie.
'sThe bride sent up a shoe-box full of
a conglomeration of stuff supposed To
be cake. II this is a sample Of Bettie's
cake We feel sorry for Willie. Our
janitor's dog fell heir to the cake and
now he's lying in the cold, cold
ground. But this Wedding is none OF
our funeral If Willie and Bette sre
satisfied we've got no kick coming"
