Cold Comfort

The butler in a Scotch family occu-
pies a privileged and unique position.
He sometimes assumes a freedom of
speech which seems to American ears
to border on impertinence; but to those
who know him his frank speech is only
one of the many evidences of his liter
est in the family welfare.
A young American woman was the
guest at house where butler of that
sort reigns. She submitted to his pat
ronage with much amusement; but one
day there were unexpected and impor-
tant guests for dinner, and a little
while before the meal was served the
butler waylaid the young American In
the hall.
I'm fearin' there'll no be quite
enough SOUP" he whispered, so when
It's offered. ye maun decline it, lass"
Decline soup, james, she said,
laughing. "Why, thai would not be
polite"
"Weel, not precisely, said James,
with benignant smile. sbut they'll

The Singer Surprised.

Madame Emma Games, the cele-
brated operate prima donna, tells the
following story:
THE sudden indisposition Of singers
brings with it humorous situations
sometimes not seen in that light at the
moment of their occurrence. In a GER
tain Dohengrin' performance, in
which Mr.. Jean de Reszke was cast to
sing the title role to my Elsa. when
the knight arrived in his swan-drawn
boat beheld a tenor that had never
laid eyes on before-M. de Reszke was
Ill. OF course the new tenor and 1 had
not had a single rehearsal. and the
stage business of the part was in con-
sequence gone through for the first
time in public. After the scene in
which Lohengrin embraces the heroine
and sings Elsa. | Love Thee the
strange tenor. who happened to be
Vignas. turned to the King NJ.
Edouard de Reszke, and said in an I'M
dertone and with charming courtesy,
Wont you introduce me to the ladyi'
'.The humor Of it all. after the ten
der love scene. was sufficient to upset
an even graver situation.

Fatteninro Ola cnwa

There arc those who think it does
not pay to fatten old cows, but we do
not agree with them. Given one fresh
or farrow in the spring, a good pasture,
and a regular grain feed every day
during the summer, and they can be
made to pay for their grain until fall,
and they will continue to gain in 1esh
all the season. Then little succulent
food, as soft or immature corn, waste
vegetables, pumpkins and such stuff SIS
seems to cost nothing on the farm, and
they will be in condition to take on
fat very rapidl-- when the grain feed is
increased. We know this because we
Lave tried it. Beef that is made in
that way may not bring the highest
price when sold to the slaugherer, but
when put on the bench to be retailed
out it will be as good as much of the
steer beef that the marketmen handle,
and it win be sold at the same prices

What Might Have Been.

Sonoma, Mich, July 21.-Mr. Delos
Hutchins of this place says: IF could
have had Dodd's Kidney Pills % years
ago | would not now be crippled as
/ am"
Mr.. Hutchins spent from 1861 TO
1854 in the swamps of Louisiana as a
northern soldier and with the result
that he contracted Rheumatism, which
gave him much pain till Mr.. Fred Par
ker, the local druggist, advised him to
try Dodd's Kidney Pills. The first two
boxes did not seem to help him very
much, but Mr.. Parker knowing that
Dodd's Kidney Pills would eventually
cure him, pressed Mr.. Hutchins to con-
tinue, and by the time four boxes were
used the short, sharp, shooting pains
which had tortured his back, hip and
legs were entirely gone. Mr.. Hutchins
says: Il cannot tell you how much bet
ter l am feeling. If it were not for
the way my hands, feet and knees are
drawn out of shape | would be about
as good as ever.

swind1inr the Farmer.

Still another signature swindle is re
ported from Indiana. Sharpers from
Chicago went through country dis
tricts, representing themselves as
hunters. They would approach a farm
er, tell him they wished to hunt on his
land, and cheerfully pay So for a per-
NIT to do so. The farmer would sign
a receipt for the money, and this
turned up later as a promissory note
for $780, 1t is said that the swindlers
secured 5000 in one county by this
process. It is noticeable that most of
the swindling schemes now worked to
the detriment of the farmers, begin
with the payment of a small sum,
which disarms the suspicious of the
victim.-Rural New Yorker.

Treatment of Corn smut.

The illustration shows the effect of
the corn smut on the growing ears, and
it is evident that the disease needs at
tention each season if the corn fields
of following years are to be free from
this troublesome difficulty. Probably
the only way of getting rid of the trou-
BILE entirely is to gather the smut pus-
tules before they break and scatter the
spores. This work should be done as
soon as the trouble is noticed. going
over the field two or three times dur
ing the summer and gathering the pus-
tules carefully, then burning them. In
this manner the disease will be grad
ually stamped out. 1t must be remem-
bered, however, that If the spores are
scattered over the field the crop of
smut next year will be corresponding

Tvnica1 Dairy Cow.

An Agricultural Department bulletin
shows an illustration of a dairy cow,
whose general features, it is claimed,
are almost perfect. She has medium
sized head and neck and well defined
shoulder and neck vein. The body or
barrel is medium to long, but with a
great depth through the digestive re-
gion and with long, well developed
hind quarter and a nicely shaped I'D
der. She is short legged, close to the
ground, angular and free from feshi-
ness. Her body shows symmetry,
quality, correlation of parts and there
fore stamina and great digestive ca
pacity, and she exhibits every indica-
ton of the power to give large guam
tity of milk. 1t is rare that any person
purchasing cow having such apparent
constitution and conformation, and yet
being rangy, open jointed animal,
will be disappointed in her as a money

Tie marble figure of an angel standing

an object of admiration by visitors.
Though the attractiveness of the figure
for lightning has not been explained, it
has occurred in each ease that the angel
was not injured, the damage being con-
fined to the base and pedestal.
The first visit of lightning to the angel
was nine years ago. The second was a
little over year ago. The other day the
lightning struck at the very base of the
figure, shifting it about four inches and
cracking the base about half a foot. The
figure Of the angel will be lowered while
