MARK TWA1N'S DISCOUNTS.

and Money Besides.

There are some singular discounts
allowed in the book trade. They
were happily illustrated on one occa-
sion by Mark Twain. One day while
the humorist was connected with a
publishing house he went into a book
store and picking up volume asked
the price. He then suggested that
as a publisher he was entitled to 50
per cent. discount. To this the clerk
assented.
''As I am also an author" said
Mark, ''it would appear that I am
again entitled to so per cent. dis

Again the clerk bowed.
'And as a personal friend of the
proprietor" he modestly continued,
II presume that you will allow me

morist, under these conditions

figured industriously. Then he said

Turkey in Popular Favor.

able weights for exhibition purposes,
but do not demand of us the over-fat
exhibition birds for breeders, for if
you do you will be disappointed in the
fertility of eggs and the vitality of the

all fanciers, we might,contend for the
excessive weights, as it would not be
necessary to raise so many turkeys
if only the fancier were interested.
but the turkey is the national bird for
the festive board, and the American
people call every year for greater

the lighter weights for table pur-
poses; hence I claim that even the

QUALITY COUNTS.
1T Regulates Prices Quite as EHec
lively as the PrOverb1al Law
of Supply and Demand.

We say that prices are regulated
by supply and demand, but we are
apt to lose sight of the important
part which quality plays in stimulat-
ing consumption and thus maintain
ing prices. Breeders who have
placed themselves in the van of the
movement to improve the live stock
of this country have not only raised
the standard of production, but have
stimulated the demand for the best.
In other words, their work has been
two-fold; it has educated the taste of
the consumer, while it has striven to
meet the demand thus created. Eng
Hshmen who came to America ten or
fifteen years ago and who interested
themselves in live stock statistics, ex-
pressed great surprise over the small
consumption of mutton by our peo-
pie, but after they had sampled the
cooked article in the hotels of the
United States they ceased to wonder
that Americans had little appetite
for that kind of meat. Farmers
raised sheep for wool and the NUT
ton disposed of was a by-product.
The quality of the meat was on a par
with the beef retailed in certain out
of~the-way dairy districts whose mar
kets are supplied from the loca.
stock of old COWS fattened and sent
to the shambles.
With an increased supply butchers
and packers have learned that the
best of mutton must be killed and
dressed so carefully that no faint
from the oil always present in the
wool reaches the meat to give it the
flavor so unpleasant to many fastidi-
Gus palates, and this careful dressing
has also helped the trade. The inn
provement of export facilities has
likewise encouraged the raising of
mutton sheep, but that, as Kipling
says, is another story. Though the
growth of this branch of live stock
industry has been rapid it has been
permanent. Mutton now holds high
rank with other meats in the estima-
ton of our people, and its popularity
is increasing.-Farmers' Review.

-. TeachinH Lambs tn Feed

When a lamb is two weeks old il
is ready for feeding something in adj
dition to the ewes milk. It is true
that by feeding the eve her milk will
be increased, but the first thing to
do is to feed the ewes for the sake
of the lambs, which may be fed indi-
rectly in this way from the first day
of their lives. The lambs are easily
taught to feed by themselves if they
are provided with suitable feeding
pens into which they may go through
narrow openings too small for the
ewes. This is the simplest matter
possible. To catch lamb and take
it into the pen and put a little of the
feed provided into it's mouth is all
that is needed; the lambs will do the
rest; for where one goes all will
want to go Observation-Disclosures

Women as they grow older are trou-
bled with the deposit offlesh about the

or at least decreased, by exercise with

cles. After repeating these number
of times, the motion from side to side
can be used, and also the rotation. of
the head. These muscles are seldom
put into action by women, so that they

alternately - first, third, second,

When the whole space is covered in

them down with stitches at even dis

stitches that hold them down. It may

is to exclude ,draughts, it should hang

to sew weights at intervals along the
