Jacob Riis, the lecturer, tells the fol-
lowing story on himself: 1t was hot
day in summer when he was sent to
see the sisters of a young man who had
been killed in an accident. He put n
cabbage or lettuce leaf under his hat
to protect himself from the sun. When
he rang the bell ut the home of tile Ia
dies lie removed his hat and stepped
into the room where the mourners sat,
and he entirely forgot the cabbage leaf.
AS the grief-stricken women looked up
at him the sorrow OH their faces gave
place to one of surprise, and finally
they both burst out laughing. He was
amazed, and feared their minds had
been unsettled by grief. But upon nut
ting his hands to his head and finding
the cabbage leaf stuck tight to 1t he
realized the cause of their mirth. and
joined in it. 1t is possibly this combi-
nation of the serious and the humorous
in him that makes him such an at
tractive writer and speaker.-Louis-

Tolstoi,s Honest Criticism.

If the test that Count TolstoI applied
on one occasion to his sons were made
universal, criticism might possibly be
more honest than at present. but it
would not be agreeable.
A lady's singing having displeased
Count Tolstoi's boys on one occasion,
they retired to another room and show
ed their disapproval by making a
noise. Their father stood it for a time,
and then followed them into the other
room.
"Are you making noise on pur.
pose?" lie asked.
The question was close one, but
was presently answered by doubt
full Yes
Does not her singing please you?''
asked the count.
well, no. Why does she howl sop
responded one of the boys.
"Do you wish 10 protest against her
singing?" asked their father.
yes"
''Then go into the room and say so.
Stand in the middle of the room and
tell every one present" replied the
Count THAT would be rude, but I'M.
right and honest. Your present con.
duct is both rude and dishonest"

AS an exempla Of the destiny of
those who embrace "get-rich-quick"
schemes and scorn the old-fashioned
methods of industry and thrift one
Frank g. Andrews of Detroit cannot
be said to have spent his life in vain.
Mr.. Andrews is young man who
arrived in Detroit a few years ago
with a capital of $1.25. By dint of
nerve and quickness in taking advan-
tage of opportunities he secured foot
hold in the speculative world and from
that time on made money rapidly, be-
coming n millionaire. Always n blat-
ant advocate of the lucky throw as Cd.
posed to caution, sound methods and
economy, says the Chicago News, he
has done what he could to imperil the
general prosperity of the public. Hav-
Ing been lucky, Andrews, like other
'young Napoleons of finance" seems
to have concluded that he was invinci-
BILE. He invented several maxims
which probably he himself believed Mt
tile time. He openly approved specu-
lation and declared that human life Is
too short for the slow processes of
thrift" 1t was his theory that mo
man should work after he Is 49," and
he believed that all his good fortune
came as "the result Of taking chances"
He found success consisted Sin an in
domitable faith in your own PROPOSE

of po milling seem ad correct ot thn tina

Winter Butter Making.

Cream for churning must at all times
be kept above the freezing point or
there is difficulty getting the butter.
For small Cummings, where the milk
is Kept In pans, the method of a New
York State prize butter maker is good
one to follow. Have a few extra pans
and In each put half pint of boiling
water; then strain the milk into this
pan, and so on with the other pans.
These pans of milk should have the
cream removed in ten or twelve hours
and when churnng is ready set tho
quantity over boiler of hot water and
stir 1t occasionally. Keep 1t over the
hot water until 1t tests rs or 80 degrees
by the thermometer. One of the other
troubles in winter butter making comes
from trying to churn the product of
COWS that are near calving, and this is
particularly hard to overcome, indeed,
unless decided change can be made
in the feed given the animal 1t will be
useless to expect anything but trouble
In churning. An increase In the bran
portion of the ration and the addition
of some green food will likely improve
the consistency of the milk.

Dehorning Cows and Calves,


There has always been more or less
argument over the question of dehorn-
ing, and while it may be admitted that
the process is painful and, in the case
of an adult animal, causes shock to
the nervous system, 1t is not at all like
ly that the young calf suffers more
than momcntary pain, and the process
certainly does not injure the animal In
any way. The process of preventing
the growth of the horns on the young
calf is to take the animal when 1t is
three or four weeks old, and after To-
eating the embryo horn with the finger,
rub the spot for minute or two, or
until it gets quite red, with a stick of
caustic potash, which may be bought
at any drug store. The potash should
be moistencd slightly, but not enough
SO that it will run, for it will take Off
the hair wherever it touches it. Wrap
the end held in the hand with a cloth,
to prevent burning the hand. The
work is quickly done, and If thoroughly
done, the horns will not grow. 1t is
generally considered that the age
named-about MONTHS nearer the
right time than earlier, and the. work
should never be attempted with potash
after the calf Is six or eight weeks old
or after the button has assumed much
prominence

Employees in the Treasury Department

"It's an old story that the United
States Treasurer occasionally pays

itors of the government" said an old
department clerk the other day. "but
it's not SO well known, but equally
true, nevertheless. that government
clerks are sometimes locked l cent for

1.-THE taxation of delinquents requires
eternal vigilance and careful calcula-
ton, but it is regarded as essential
to the best interests of the service.
No fractions of minute are consld-
cred and there is no penalty less than
cent. The salary per minute Is de.
ternined by dividing the annual sal

exclude Sundays and holidays, and al.
lowing seven hours for each day. On
that basis 1t is computed that the sal
aries of government clerks average
about cent minute. OF course,
some get more and others less. but
that covers the most of them.
ut does not seem much to deduct 10
cents from the $1,000 salary of clerk
who has exceeded his 60 days leave

on his rights as an American citizen.

Why n Horse Eats Often.

The horse can conveniently eat for
twenty hours out of the twenty-four.
A horse which is in good health has a
good appetite at all times and is able
to stand plenty of work and is rarely
on the sick list. To be n good feeder,
especially on journey, is great rec
ommendation in the opinion of every
good judge of horsefesh. The reason
Of horse being such a constant eater
is that its stomach is really small in
proportion to the size of its body, and
therefore it requires feeding often, not
less than four times day, two Of
which should be early in the morning
and at night, while hay should in the
stall be always within its reach.-Lon-

While the usual plan of intelligent or.

there are times and certain conditions

Feeding Mash ut Noon.

In no branch of farming are we learn
ing new methods SO rapidly rs in poul-
try-keeping. Late last winter some ex-
periments We're made in feeding poul-
try the warm mash at noon instead of
in the morning or ut night, as. was the
former custom, and, in the majority of
cases, the results were satisfactory.
When this plan was followed the morn
ing food consisted of fair quantity
of grain scattered through chaff on the
floor, so that the fowls would spend an
hour or more scratching for their break
fast. AT noon the mash, consisting of
several grains, such rs bran, ground
oats and corn meal, with some meat
meal. was mixed with some chopped
green food. and fed to the fowls while
quite warm. At night the ration was
liberal. and consisted of whole corn.
Plenty of fresh water was, of course
provided during the day, and in all
other respects the fowls received the
best of care. The results, as far as
the egg production was concerned, was
better than under other methods of
feeding Indianapolis News.

Mr.. Grosvenor of Ohio is INDUCING
in very just and proper denunciation
of the shoddy makers, who oppose the
bill to compel them to stamp all goods
made of their product with the name
of the material. They deserve all the
contempt he visits upon them. But it
would tend to better understanding
of the conditions under which so-called
woolens are made and sold in this
country If Mr.. Grosvenor should in
troduce an amendment to the shoddy
bill requiring every piece of cloth and
every garment offered for sale as
wooden to bear on it an enduring label
