This picturesque anecdote concern
ing clock at Balmoral Castle
is related in recently pub
lished book by Scottish au-
thor: The hands on its face
are bare, and sometimes during the
winter the snow has been known to
stop them. There was a snowstorm
on the day Queen Victoria died. When
the kirk bell tolled and the order was
given to hoist the flag half-mast high
the men paused to look at the clock.
Its snow-laden hands were standing,
pointing to the time their queen had
passed away. 1t is an old Scottish GUS
tom to stop the clock VIXEN the head of
household dies. They had not need
ed to do so. And so it was left until
after the funeral. Family Herald.

EASY FOR THE DRUGGIST.
l. Letter of Recomme n dntion That
Wna Taken for n Prescription
for Cough Medicine.

A young man being out of employment
recently requested former employer to
give him letter of recommendation to aid
him in securing a situation. The letter was
written and handed to the applicant, who
was quite unable TO read it, as was every
person to whom 1T was shown. lie was
advised TO take it to printing office, where
it could be deciphered, as compOsitors are
noted for being able to make out the worst
specimens of writing, relates London Tit
Bits.
1t was handed to compositors in various
offices, and in turn given up without being
deciphered.
As forlorn hope it was taken to a chem
list, who, from his long experience IN de
ciphering prescriptions, had the reputation
OF being able to read anything.
The man of drugs took the paper, gazed
at it long and thoughtfully, and then seized
an empty quart bottle and hurried round
the shop, taking some fluids from sundry
bottles, and finally shaking the compound
vigorously. Then, handing it to the owner
of the letter, he remarked to that aston
ished individual:

band and Herself.

ly. relates the Chicago Daily News.

band ever lived when he was bach

$50 on. dear" exclaimed Beatrice.
"This sounds interesting"
First" Beth began, let me give
you some advice. Never visit in town
where your husband, when you have
one, is well acquainted and you are
not, especially if you hail from a city
like Chicago. The inhabitants never
forgive a man who ignores the village
girls to marry non-native-or. rath-
er, they never forgive the designing
creature who permits him to throw
himself away on her. They always
pity him from the bottom of their
hearts, for they feel sure that he was
deeply attached to Susan Smith or
Betsey Jones. There is never any
doubt in their minds that the bold,
scheming city girl 'roped him in as
they say"
Mercy! How could they say such a
thing of you, of all girls?"
'Well, one day shortly after we
reached this former home Of Ted's we
went just for exercise. down to the
railway station with Ted's brother
Jack, who was going to the next town
for day on business. The train was
n half hour late, and the boys went
outside to smoke and chat while was
soon deeply interested in a magazine
that | had just bought. Presently
three pretty. rosy-looking girls came
in. all laughing and talking at once.
You know everyone who happens o be
downtown within an hour or so Of
train time has to go to the station to
see the train come in. These girls
seated themselves on the bench near
est the window overlooking the plat
form and | settled back to mediate
loftily on the narrowness of the life
those girls led.
nut NY Hl'HlldllonS were tooneO
to come to a sudden end, at least along
that particular line, for as Ted and
Jack sauntered past the window with
their heads well down and enjoying a
good. old-fasioned visit one girl. whom
the others called Blanche, exclaimed:
IF there isn't Ted FOwler!' | felt a
little Indignation at the familiar tone
she used. That Indignation grew
steadily for a few moments in view Oh
the fact that those girls sat there ad.
mirng and praising him-giggling and
blushing over my own Teddy.

asked one Of the three, whose name
appeared to he Edith.

successor is a steam roller mill not
far away.
The settlement is called Guadenau,
meaning the valley of the Grace of
God" 1t was regularly organized with
"dorfschultze," who sat in judgment
on the disputes of the settlers. The
courts were open to them, but if they
invoked them they were in peril Of ex-
pulsion from the church. They tried
to reproduce in this country the vii
iages they had left in Russia and to
establish here the manners and Gus
toms of their ancestors. They sue
ceeded for awhile, but the new genera
tion that has been born there prefers
the American way of living; so the
windmill and the patriarchs of the
settlement are all that is left of the
original "dorf."
The head of every family took 1G0
acres of land. In the beginning the
tracts of all were thrown together and
cut up into 16H-acre "kegels." In this
way they were able to build the homes
close togegther and farm the outlying
land. They made the "dorf" three
miles long, and fronting on road
they built their houses. The walls Of
their houses were made of clay and
were eight feet thick. The roofs were
made of blue STEM" a tall grass which
at that time grew abundantly in the
bottomlands roundabout. A number
of these houses, prettily whitewashed,
exist to-day, but the most of the orig
inal habitations have been succeeded
by wooden farmhouses. The "kegel"
system has been almost abandoned.
The Mennonites soon contracted the
American habit of trading" and the
'kege" system necessitated the con-
currence of too many persons in max
ing deeds.

CARRIED A MENAGERIE.
Thin Mnn on the Car Has n Closed
Basket Which Interests

The thin man looked just as ii everybody
in the world imposed on him. Even his
mustache grew crooked. He came into the
of the suburban train sidewise, depos-
tied his basket gingerly and slid into the
seat beside 1t. As soon as the train cleared
the tunnel the basket meowed. The thin
man smiled back at the man across the
aisle, and gave the basket snake. An
other meow. A little girl in the seat in
front stood up on the cushion and peered
at the basket, relates the New York Post.
Like cats?" the thin man asked.

''No; it might get away" the thin man
said, with another smile.
The basket preserved silence for several
minutes, then it began to cluck. The
child's eyes opened wide.
Like chickens?" the thin man asked.
Before the child could reply the basket
emitted shrill whistle, and the man across
the aisle whose face was as puzzled as the
chjld's, asked:
What have you there, anyhow"

THE NO-PURPOSE COW.
She Is in Evidence EveryU ere, an
Injury to the Cattle as Well ns
Dairy business.

The no-purpose COW is so much like
the mongrel dog or the barnyard
fowl. Neither has any particular
breed possibilities or capabilities.
They exist because they are the prod
ucts of a lazy, careless system. They
do not help their owner much, but
tend to discourage him with his life.
The no-purpose cow is the product of
Indifferent systems of farming, and
it is an animal which is neither good
for milk nor beef. She is usually a
good feeder, an excellent feeder in
fact, but not much of a producer. 1t
is astonishing sometimes to know
where the food goes which she eats,
for it is converted into neither fat,
flesh nor milk. 1t must make bone,
muscle or sinew, for the flesh of the
animal is generally tough when
eaten. Now the general purpose COW
is a cross or type intermediate be-
tween the beef and dairy type. This
animal, strictly speaking, is the prod
uct of careful and good breeding, and
is not the outcome of chance or ac-
cident. She has been bred for n dual
purpose and if she comes up to an
ticipations she is good mixer and
a good beef producer. While not as
good as the best beef animal or the
finest dairy cows in producing flesh
or milk, she nevertheless possesses
the ability to partake of each to a
considerable degree. She is eminent
ly adapted to the general farmer who
wishes milk, and later a fat cow for
the shambles, with calves which will
produce good veal in short time
from birth. 1t may not be generally
known, but it is more difficult to
! raise such an animal than a typical
beef Or dairy COW. The danger, how
ever, comes in with the no-purpose
COW. In trying to secure a good gem
eral purpose animal. we may stumble
upon the former. This should be
avoided in every possible way, for
the investment would prove as unsat-
isfactory as any possibly could on
the farm.-E. p. Smith, in Indiana
