CARE OF eNsllAcE.

II IL necessary that q certain amount

TO be removed win depend upon various
conditions. II the corn was allowed TO
become too dry before being put into
the silo, II will not settle 90 firmly ~ It
would had II been cut ut the proper
time, and q larger amount must be re-
moved daily from the exposed surface.
There Ia no definite amount which can
be fixed upon, and no general rule which
can be given 40 to the thickness Of the
isyer which must be removed from the
surface. The thickness Of the layer
which must be removed viii depend upon
the weather and upon the solidity Of the
ensilsge. At the present time, We are
feeding from stave silo the depth Of

silage Il about I've feet from the bottom
Of the silo. At this point, the ensilage
Ia so solid that one inch removed each
day from the surface Is sufficient. Were
the top ,f the ensilage near the top OF
the siio, thick layer would need to be
removed, because 1t would not have set
tied so firmly. II there is any rule
which can be given that will apply TO all
silos and under all conditions, Il is this:

"All right" said the artist describe

"yell, my fadder was not so dali und
not SO short; he vas not fat und not so

ceeded to describe his father as he re-
called him.
The artist undertook to paint the pic

Tn. Tiger and the Hookah.

Smokers do not naturally like 10
have IL said that they make beasts
Of themselves, yet the reproach Is
more Just than they imagine, for 1t
seems that some beasts, tigers, for ex-
ample. become confirmed smokers. A
correspondent Of the Neilgherry Ex-
celsior gives the following curious evil
dence on that point:
"a friend Of mine once had n tiger
cub and terrier pup In rearing. He
was a great smoker, and his pets would
play about the room while he lndulged
In the weed. IL was noticed by the
sweeper that the cigar ends finally d-
mlnlshed In number, and he thought,
quite naturally. that his master was
trying to cure himself of his habit. But
he watched, and one evening after his
master had retired to bed the tiger
cub carefully picked up a cigar end,
while his companion, the pup, brought
q fire stick from the kitchen.
This is not the only instance OF IL
gers taking to smoking. Mehemet All,
the most enlightened ruler that Egypt
ever had, kept tame tiger, to which
he always handed his hookah after he
had exhausted the scented opium ball.
On one occasion the pasha. having
gone out to dinner, the hoOkahbadar
prepared the hookah as usual. Enter
Ing the room with the pasha some time
after, he found the tiger fast asleep
near the hookah. He was dead drunk,
having exhausted every atom Of the
scented opium ball"

Slow Suicide.

A source OF great evil among all
workers Is the widespread habit OF
eating a hearty meal hurriedly when
the body Is In q state Of exhaustion.
Too often, alas, the evil Is enhanced
by the fact that the food is lnnutri-
tious. badly cooked and clogging In
itself. This is one species Of slow sui
eide, causing long train OF evils
which are usually attributed to over
work. Now. It were better to go with
out food than to take II under these
conditions. Your dog knows better
than to eat when he Is tired, and II
you will watch him you will notice
that he is always reluctant to be en-
ticed into play after eating. Left TO
himself he will take nap, or M least
drop care for awhile and rest HUI
manity might raise Its standard OF
health by following the example set
by the instincts Of the brute crea-
tures.-Health Culture.

A beautiful system.

The Memphis Scimitar tells OF n re-
cent bride whose husband noticed that
she was keeping an itemized account
Of the household expenses. In looking
II over one day he noticed at the bot
tom Of each page or two the letters
I'D. X. W." This somewhat puzzled
him. He really found II very difficult
to keep from thinking about what
these letters could possibly mean. II
occurred TO him that possibly his wife
was saving out some money to buy
something for him. But then he knew
that his initials were not I'D. *. W.
and this did not prove a satisfactory
solution TO the matter.
So one day when his wife was IN a
real good humor he took her In his
arms and asked what she meant by
I'D. X. W, 80 cents" ID. *. W.. 81"
and the like.
She replied: sd. X. W. stand for

each page and found had spent mon

TWO BLUFFS THAT WON.

ftor and the Reporter.
Jack Rogers was a newspaper report
er and broke. He had hung around the
Dubuque newspaper offices for job
until he had been requested to move on.
So he decided to move on to Des
Moines. But how to get there was the
question. Jack put on his thinking
cap, and the result was that two hours
later he found himself on n train and
the conductor standing by his seat.

"See here, conductor" said Jack easi-

Jack was knocked all In heap at
the turn things had taken, but he had
nothing TO do but to follow the con-
ductor. They halted In front OF man
in the coach. and the conductor said:
"Mr. Smitem. this is Mr. Rogers. He
says he's reporter on your paper. and
wants the office TO pay for bis transpor-
tation when he gets to Des Moines."
How do you do, Mr.. RogersT said
the editor pleasantly. extending his
hand. "Glad to see you. Sit down
here with me-" The conductor didn't
wait for any more, but went of.
"Well. this Is nice OF you," said Jack.
too astonished and embarrassed to talk
straight. "Of course, I'm not on your

dare say you've never heard tell Of
my wife's grandfather, Captain John
Tacknbird, or Cap'n Jacka, as he was
always called. He was remarkable
man altogether, and he died Of seizure
in the Waterloo year, an earnest
Methody all his days, and toward the
end highly respected class leader. Tc
tell you the truth, he wasn't much tc
look at. being bald as coot and blind
of one Ge. besides other defects. His
mother let him run too socn. and that
made his legs handy. And then be-
stnng him. and all his hair came of.
And his eye he lost in little job with
the preventive men, but his lid dropped
so you'd hardly know twas missing.
He'd way, too, of talking to himself
as he went along. SO that folks reckoned
him silly. II was queer how that mag
got stuck in their heads. for in han
ding privateer or a Guernsey cargo
sink the crop or run 1t straight
there wasn't his master In Polperro.
The very children could tell zee.
I'm telling OF the year when the
most Of the business in Polperro,
free trade and privatcering, was map
aged, as the world knows, by Mr..
Zephaniah job This job, he came from
st. AIMS, by reason OF his having shied
some persons child out Of window in
a fit Of temper. and opened school at
Polperro, where he taught rule OF three
and mensuration; also navigation.
thoagh he only knew about Il on paper.
By and by he became accountant to all
the free trade companies and agent for
the Guernsey merchants, and Mt last
blossomed out and opened bank with
fl and c. notes and bigger ones which
he drew on Christopher Smith. alder
man Of London. In those days gold was
90 scarce that the Jews were buying
guineas for 81 shillings apiece, collect
ing them, folks said. for government to
send TO the armies. You wouldn't see a

Well. this Job was agent for COM
pany of adyenturers called the Pride
O. the West" and had ordered a new
lugger 10 be built for them down at
Mevagissey. She was called the Unity.
100 tons THAT would be about 30 as
they measure now. mounting 10 car
riage guns and carrying 90 men. nice
and comfortable. She was lying on the
ways, ready TO launch. and Mr.. Job
proposed to Csp'n Jacka to sail over to
Mevagissey and have q look ut her.
Cap'n Jacka was pleased a. Punch,
Of course. He'd quite made up his mind
he was TO command her. seeing that.
first and last, in the old Pride lugger
he had cleared over 40 per cent for this
very company. So they sailed over and
took thorough stock of the new craft,
and Jacka praised this and suggested
that and carried on quite as II he'd got
4 captains orders inside his hat, which
was where he usually carried them.
Mr.. Job looked sidelong down his nose
he was a leggy old galliganter with
silverish gray hair and jawbone long
enough to make Cap'n Jacka a new
pair Of shins-and said he. What do
ZEE think Of her,'
"well." said Jacka. "any fool can
see she'll run. and any fool can see
she II reach. reckon she'll come about
