His Own Schedule.

No man ever succeeded in his
wore, il is said. who was not over
worked. A days work to a man
who is master OF his own destin;es
may mean as much work as he can
squeeze into the hours between ris-
ing and going to bed.
A workman came out of a little
carpenter shop just after dark. and
was met by friend who had had his
supper. changed his clothes, and
was down town again for a good
time
Hello" said the man in good
clothes. Just getting through p"
Not quite through yet," replied
the man in overalls. Got TO 90
back for few minutes and finish
up"
Well, aren't you working over
time p
No"
What time do you begin ?"
Seven sharp"
But the union schedule is eight
hours, and your employer will have
the delegate after him"
No he won't. 1 have just bought
this shop, and / am my own employ
er. The union has nothing to say
about how long an employer shall
work: "-lYouth's Companion.

Muskrat Nabits.

The last log in the West Branch
drive was sluiced through North
Twin (Me. )dam on Saturday. While
the keeper was closing the gates
and making ready to food Elbow
Lake, the wind came around to the
west, and ice formed along the lake
as far as South Twin.
Early in the evening Joe Socka-
besin, ad old Indian from Old Town,
came to Gerrish, the overseer, and
asked permission 20 set his traps at
the edge Of the rising water, saying
he believed he could catch enough
muskrats to make it pay him well
for his labor. Sockabesin processes
to know very much about the ways
Of muskrats. He says the animals
can live for months under ice which
is not covered with water, but as
soon as the ice fields are overflowed
the supply of air is shut of. and no
animal can exist below the ice for
more than half an hour. Gerrish
had no faith in the theory, but was
willing to see it tested.
Sockabesin labored until nearly
midnight, fastening his traps among
the stones and gravel: close to the
edge of the water. SO when he re-
turned to camp from his tramp of
four miles up the lake, the lake had
risen nearly a foot, covering the
traps. He brought in six muskrats
which had been caught during his
absence. Next morning the water
was wetting the third plank on the
dam. and had risen more than two
feet when Sockabesin went up the
lake in batteau. Two hours later
he rowed back with sixty eight
muskrats.
"Ah m bin do heem ev'ry tam, I"
said Sockabesin. "Muskrat no bin
fraid of ice. LAX ice have hole in
heem W at let in re air, 50 musquash
heem breathe lax heem bin in heem
home. Ze water on re ice bin keel re
musquash, so heem die eef he no
geet away. All IN bin set re trap
'longside re new ice whar re fool
musquash bin come out fer to look
round, so heem step in re trap, and
geet caught. Sockabesin heesn max

Farm Notes.

Prune after the leaves fall, not be-
fore.
A warm barn aud a good bed save
grain in winter.
Look out for the celery and potato
pits these cold nights.
Put q lantern under the carriage
robe when you take ride on a cold
day.
Sand and white lead make a hard
cement for stopping leaks in roofs and
other places.
Any outdoor painting that needs
to be done may well be dene during
warm spells.
Myriads Of noxious insects and
weed seeds may be destroyed by the
firing the rubbish piles in the fall.
II you have not yet taken grape
cuttings il had better be done before
severe winter comes on.
Cow stablesshould so builded as to
have plenty Of sunlight. Darkness
is an enemy to perfect health.
Red raspberries and black berries
may be set in fall or spring; grapes
and strawberries in spring.
II you would grow berries success
fully in northern climate, you must
give them protection in winter.
| plant peaches in the spring; ap-
plies, bears plums, cherries and nut
trees may be planted in fall or spring.
When manuring trees scatter the
manure some distance from the trees.
The roots extend some distance.
1t the stock do not have comforta-
BILE quarters the animal heat must be
kept up with feed. Warm barns
feed.
A single freeze may not hurt
onions but repeated freezing and
thawing will. They should be kept
dry and cool.
Spinich must not be covered too
early, and care should used to pre-
vent smothering it with to much pro-
lection.
Show me the horse and | can tell
you what his owner is. If he is
kind to his horse he will be kind to
his wife. Girls, don't forget this.
Oil meal is excellent for COWS and
horses. Begin by feeding a table
spoonful twice daily in other food
and gradually increase toone quart.
Ii you have potatoes, cabbage or
roots OF any kind pitted be sure the
drainage is good or a heap of decay
ed vegetables may be all you find 10
the spring.
Blackberries and raspberries in
nothern attitudes should be protect
ed. The simplest and surest way
is to lay then down IN the row and
cover with earth.
~ ANnS oAIC = ESSaSS Oh IdlIOW melt
for pounds of tallow and stir
into a pint of any mineral oil.
This will do for winter or summer.
Its costs but little to keep some
old, decayed wood and Jumps of
charcoal in the pig pen, and still
practical herdsmen aver that few
things are better preventative of
hog ailments.
An application OF fine manure be-
tween the rows of all small fruits
will protect the root in winter, feed
them in early spring, and greatly
increase the size and quality of the
fruit.

LETTUCE FOR SILK WORMS.
II Is u Food Tint seems to satisfy
the Useful Little Spinnrrs Ect-
ter Than Any other.

Prof. c. w. Wood worth, Of the state
university. Is engaged in breeding silk
worms which will thrive on lettuce. 1t
appears that the leaf of the lettuce is \
nulritive equivalent. or nearly SO, of
the leaf of the white mulberry. and is
a much cheaper product, besides beng
available at all eaSOn Of the year,
states the San Francisco Chronicle.
The fact. however, that the lettuce and
mulberry leaf are chemically nearly
identical does not by any means prove
that the silkworm will thrive upon let
tuce or that the quality of the silk pro
duced will equal that produced on the
natural o o of the worm. We do o
yet know enough about the physiology
of digestion to say in advance what can
or cannot be done. Neither Is 1t certain
that the natural period of producing
silk can be materially extended or
changed. IT Is the business Of the ey-
pertinent station to find out such things.
There is no cas- to doubt that in
any case a strain OF silk worms can BE-
produced whose digestive apparatus
shall be adapted to a lettuce diet or
that by due process Of selection a good
quality of silk can finally be produced In
that way. Whore the outlook Is so
promising 1t is the duty OF the cXpcr-
ment station to investigate. Compare
lively few experiments bring results of
much economic importance. but some
do bring such results and all contrib
tie to the sum OF human knowledge.
Whether or not the SILK industry can be
made commercially profitable in any
country so sparsely inhabited as Call
fornia is uncertain, but Prof. Wood
worth's experiments are certainly Of i'm
portancc to the industry and as such are
worth making whether the pcopleof this
state derive immediate profit from them
or NOT.

What becomes of the child actors?
Too often a few months or years of
stage experience convince both mother
and child that there are other calIings
equally honorable, and perhaps more
lucrative, than the actors profession.
Marriage takes many young girls from
the stage they have known all their
lives, and the sure returns Of business
management Is apt to tempt boy actors
to step across the fOotliThts to a posi-
ton nearer the box-oficc, but the ay-
erage stage children, attractive because
of their youngness, grow up into sheep
little resembling the tender lambs
whose gambols amused, and, unable to
secure legitimate dramatic engagements,
drift into the chorus Of operate com
panles, or take up their positions be-
hind department store counters. 1t Is
only the very few that carry the pre-
cOcity and charm OF youth into adult
age, so that they again become as ia
nous as during the few BRIEF years Of
childhood bOdy's Magazine.

PROGRESS IN SANITATION.
Average Duration Of Life IIns Bcen
Increased bt Measures Adopted
In England.

People hear so much ahOC. health In
stitutos nowadays that they are apt ia
be Il little skcptical as to their efficacy
and to regard them largely as money
making arrangements, says the Boston
Globe.
In England almost all matters con-
cerning the public health are treated ut
institutes. like the British Sanitary In
stituto, for instance, and every public
man thinks it his duty to %patronize It..
At n late meeting Of the institutes the
question was raised as to what had been
accomplished by these Institutes. and
it was found hat since public health
became a science at the beginning OF
the late queens reign the average life
of a man has been increased by threa
years and that of a n by five years.
That the doctors do know something Ia
evidenced by the fact that 80 years ago
typhoid fever killed 37i people out OF
every 600 600 in Great Britain. To-day,
with an enormously increased popula-
ton. It Kills n bare 100 per 1000. 600.
Typhus. which GO years ago struck down
another 300 per 900 600, has been lit
orally stamped out by sanitation. Sta
tisticians compute that tho London
county council has saved 10000 lives,
mostly infants, since rs creation.
In the days OF Good Queen Bcss" The
death rate was 80 per | 900 per annum.
Deaths from fever have fallen by IS per
cent, typhoid by 60, scarlet fever by
81. and consumption by 45 per rent.
From 1861 to 1865 scarlet fever killed 9S2
