Causes of the Disease and How O.
Treat 1t with Reasonable Pros
poets of Success.

Calf scours are usually due to one os
frequent, damp, ill-ventilated and
filthy quarters, or badly cleaned feed
ing vessels. Filth or decaying milk
generate ptomaines or poison germs
that set up the disease. The vessel
from which any animal is fed milk
should be rinsed with cold water i'm
mediately after using, and then scalded
every day. After scalding it should
be set in the sun 10 dry, drain and
sweeten. Second, feeding cold milk
that chills the young calf and checks
digestion. From 80 degrees to 100 de-
grees is the proper temperature for
calf milk. Third, too long time be-
tween feeding; as. consequences the
calf gets SO hungry that it gorges itself
when fed. From two to three quarts
is as much as the ordinary six weeks
old calf should be fed at a time. 1t
should be fed not less less hree times
a day until it begins to take solid food,
The remedy is to feed sparingly for a
day or two. Give one or two ounces OF
castor oil in a little milk, and two hours
later give a tablespoonful or teaspoon
full of the following in little milk from
a bottle in which an egg has been
beaten. Tincture of ginger, four
ounces; tincture of opium, three
ounces; spirits of camphor, two
ounces; tincture of rhubarb, two
ounces, and essence of peppermint, two
ounces. Mix. In very bad cases give
every two hours; in mild cases give
every four or six hours, until the dis
charges become more natural. IL the
calf is small and young, one ounce OF
oil and a teaspoonful of mixture will
be dose. Keepthe calf warm and dry,

THE BRIDES PICTURE.
a Young Woman of a Truly Are
tistic Turn of Mind.

It is not unusual for the bride who is
ggeing away for an extended trip, or
who expects to make her home in a
distant city, to give photographs to
the most intimate of her friends before
leaving them.
One such bride, who is given to doing
things unique and original, determined
to frame the pictures thus given, and
to do SO in an appropriate manner.
They were to be mounted under glass
in the manner familiar to all, and
known as passepartout, but instead OF
the usual mat of linen or cardboard,
she used a material which was espe-
cially appropriate and one which made
frame as well as picture worthy of be-
ing preserved among the family heir
looms.
The picture which she gave her moth
er had a mat of the white satin which
had been used for her wedding dress,
and across one corner was a bit Of lace
with which the dress was trimmed.
To sister she gave a picture also
mounted in the white satin, but with a
design of orange blossoms embroidered
upon it; while the mount for the one
given her maid of honor was of the
white satin embroidered with a grace
full spray Of bride roses.
Friends less near received pictures
mounted with the goods which had
gone to make up the different gowns OF
her trousseau. The mount made from
the material of her 'going-away
gown" had forget-me-nots embroidered
in small scattered sprays, while some
of the silks and figured goods were
made up plain, being sufficiently deco
rative in themselves.
In each case the mounted picture was
bound to the glass with narrow strip
of soft leather in a shade to correspond
with the color of the mount. Upouthe
back of each was plainly written the
name and date of the wedding.
It is needless to state that the gifts
were priced as the pictures alone never
could have been, and it is safe to pre-
dict that other brides will follow the
graceful fashion. = st. Louis Globe

THE FILIPINO BABY.
Az a Rule He Is a Lusty Youngstex,
Although He Does Not Re-
ceive Much CoddlinE.

Babies are babies all the world round.
The little dark fellow in Egypt cries
for the moon just as does the white
baby in Boston. But the mammas may
differ.
This story is about the little Filipino
baby and how it is carried about by
its mother; for, after all, that is the
main point of difference. Of course,
the Filipino babies do not wear nearly
as many clothes as babies do in this
country, and do not have pins stick
into them and make them cry. They
lie around on the bamboo floors, with
maybe one garment on, and sleep; and
when they grow old enough their mann
mas take them out to market. 1t is
very seldom that they wear anything
on their heads, though most of the
older ones have nice little silk bonnets.
They got them when they went to the
big stone church and were christened.

STONE OF GRATITUDE.
Pretty Legend Told by Roman Chron-
icIers of the Topaz and the Em-
peror's Snake,

The topaz is called the stone of graft
tude, and the old Roman books record
the following legend from which the
stone derives this attribute:
The blind Emperor Theodosius used
to hang brazen gong before his
palace gates and sit beside it on GER.
tain days hearing and putting to right
the grievances of any of his subjects.
Those who wished for his advice and
help had but 70 sound the gong. and
Immediately admission into the pres
'ence of Caesar was obtained.
One day great snake crept up to
the gate and struck the brazen gong
with her coils, and Theodosius gave or.
ders that no one should molest the
creature and bade her tell him her
wish. The snake bent her crest slow.
~ in homage and straightway told
the following tale:
Her nest was at the base of the gate.

find food for her young brood q
strange beast covered with SHARP
needles had invaded her home, killed
the nestlings and now held possession
OF the little dwelling. Would Caesar
grant her justice?
The emperor gave orders forethe
porcupine to be slain and the moth
er to be restored to her deso1ate nest
Night fell, and the sleeping world had
forgotten the emperor's kindly deed
but with the early dawn a great ser
pent glided into the palace, up the
steps into the royal chamber and
laid upon each of the emperor's closed
eyelids a cleaning topaz. When EN-
was no longer blind, for the mother
snake had paid her debt of gratitude.

MANGER RACK.

It is made of one by two lath through
out. An opening is left at A, where
grain. can be easily thrown into the
feed box. The outer portion of rack
is hinged onto the manger, which
makes it very convenient to let down
and empty refuse stalks onto the barn
floor, where they may be worked out
into the manure yard. The fine refuse
can be worked out through the stable
for bedding. This arrangement is very
convenient also to feed hay. and where
small hangers must be used they soon
pay for themselves in the saving of feed
that is often trampled under foot by
the horses. George w. Brown, in Ohio

DEVOTION OF A DOG.
Runs After Railroad Train SO ms to
BE Reunited with the Children
He Loved.

On incident occurred at Perry. Okla,
a few days ago which illustrates the
devotion of dog to children. Mrs.
E. Butler, the wife of a groceryman,
who mysteriously disappeared from
Perry some weeks ago and who came
from Atchison, Kan, last year, was
leaving Perry for Ohio, former home.
The family dog was given to neigh
bor. When the train arrived on which
the Butler family was to leave the
dog had broken a big rope with which
he was tied at the home of his new
master, and had appeared at the train.
His new master and another man held
the dog by leather collar, but when
the train started the dog bit both
men and got away. He took after the
train, barking at every jump, and for
more than a mile he could be seen
running after th&fscar with all his
might. The neI morning when the
next northbou1hi passenger train
rolled into Red R5ck, a station 20 miles
north of Perry, the dog was there, and
made a spirited attempt to get aboard.
He had to be fought off by the train
crew. When the train started he ran
after it, and as far as the train could
be seen the dog was close behind it,
barking as he ran,
M The, dog had not been away from
the Butler children for any length OF
time for two years. He had followed
the children by day and kept watch
over the little beds by night. st. Louis

THE WARM BED.

bed about 4 inches higher than the
south side so as to get better effects
from the sunshine. The frame COM
pleted, then bank up on the outside to
within inch of top, using the dirt that
was thrown out of the pit. The bed is
now ready for the manure, which
should be of the kind ordinarily used
for this purpose. Fill in about IL inch
es deep, tramping we'll. Then cover
the manure with about five inches of
rich dirt.
The bed is complete; now the cover.
Two gables are made, the only timbers
required being good stiff pieces
about 2x4 and or feet long. These
gable ends are erected one at each end
of bed and at an angle of about 30 de-
grees. Next a strong wire is stretched
from one gable to the other at the top
for ridge pole. This wire extends on
over each gable and down to the
ground at each end of the bed where it
is securely staked. If put on properly,
this wire makes the gables very solid.
The bed is now ready for the canvas,
which consists of extra heavy un-
bleacbed muslin made just about the
right size to extend from one side of
the bed over the ridge pole to the
other size. This canvas is tackled to
the frame at each side and to the raft
ers at each end. Gables are covered
with the same material. This muslin
cover turns the rain, keeps out the cold,
and is almost as warm as glass. 1t is
comparatively cheap and when beds
need attention it need not be loosened
except at one corner.

mended, it will produce, besides the

that her grandmamma was christened
in. Sometimes the mother shades her
infant daughters head from the sun
with an umbrella, but the boy babies
receive no such attention.
But the way the Filipino mother car
ries her baby is the queerest, and prob
ably the easiest for the mother, thatis
practiced in any country. The child

there is to it. In Japan the women
carry the babies in blanket on their
backs, much as an Indian squaW car
ries a pappoose. In Egypt the little
ones are carried on the shoulders of
their parents, while in this country the
small child is carried in the arms.
The Filipino babies are not always
carried on the hips, however. In some

Sometimes the perambulator does for
cradle as WELL and is so arranged that
the basket sets in frame and can be
swung. Another kind is simply box
on two wheels. Often the baby is put
into this box and an older sister pulls
| it back and forth along the street in
front of the house. The photograph
which goes with this sketch was taken
at Las Penas, south of Manila. This

view to comfort, as you may surmisa
from noticing the little wooden awning

port1and,s old Fire Horse.

In Portland, Ore. there is big bay
horse named Jerry, which is % years
old, and for II years has faithfully
served the city in the fire department.
Anyone who has seen fremanss
horse in active service viii know that
Jerry has certainly earned his board.
Now Jerry has become old and is IN
clined to be stiff in the joints. Under
such circumstances private owner
generally takes out his faithful serv-
ant and knocks him on the head, IN
der pretense that IL is a mercy TO
him, but the city of Portland thinks
otherwise. So the fire commission
ers have decided that they win net
sell the old fellow to be starved and
abused, nor will they "mercifnily"
kill him, but that he is to have free
hay and oats at the expense of the
city as long as he lives.

r protecting Trees from Rodents.

In protecting trees from rodents one
should use exceeding care. Many
things are recommended that have
been tried by a few people and found
successful, but have been tried by 9th
era and found destructive. One is i'm
pressed with this fact at every horti-
cultural convention attended when the
question of the protection is brought
up. Some of the oil washes and tars
are deadly to trees at certain ages and
under certain conditions. The condi-
tions and ages vary SO greatly that
the fact that wash has proved harm
less On one tree is not an Indication
that it will prove equally harmless on
another tree. tits better todepend on
protecting the tres with something
wound around it than to paint it with
anything. Farmers Review.

the spirit which dominated the volun-

ssYou know you couldn' treat private

swell, my downfall came about
through the conduct of the captain OF
my company. If there ever was an ar
rogant, exasperating dog, it was he.
He was good soldier and brave man,
but his elevation had bad effect on his
head-his capital piece was swelled be-
yond all reason He treated his men as
men before the mast are supposed to be
treated by the most brutal masters of
ships.
