stranger leaned against the fence and
inquired how much he would take for
one of the COWS in the lot.
Zone hundred dollars was the re-
ply.
"I'll take her." said the man. Can

The farmer drove two more out OF
the barn and offered the three to the

How many children have you?' ask

verbs from out his twenty years eX-
perience as a hard working newspaper
man:
The chap who tries hardest to Work

one who never spends cent with ii

That the one who demands the high
est excellence in Typography, subject
matter and quantity of contents, does
the least to help the cause along.
That the man who kicks most about
the inaccuracy of newspapers in gen
eral is the one who does least to assist
in getting the facts accurately when
he has an opportunity to do so.
That the man who has it in for news.

truth told about him once by some
unusually frank reporter, and has a
big sore spot
That the man who brings in the

That the woman who declares lts

won't talk, so there" always winds
up by giving the reporter a rafting

down in short hand.
That the man who begs that his
name be left out of the list of DRINKS

ings never considered that good lady's
sensibilities before in his life.
That the men who spend the most
money with the paper kick the least.
That if you expect man to find q

A Flawless Weapon.

The sting of bee is composed OF two
spears of polished horn held in
sheath. The edge of very keen razor
when examined under good micro
scope appears as broad as the back o.
a thick knife-rough, uneven and full
of notches. An exceedingly small and
delicate needle similarly scrutinized
resembles a rough bar from a smiths
forge. The sting Of a bee viewed
through the same instrument shows
fiawless polish without the least blem'
ish or inequality. ending in a point too
fine to he discerned. In the act OF
singing, the spears, each Of which has
nine barbs and is grooved with chan.
mel for the passage Of the poison,
emerge from the sheath. One of them
is plunged into the flesh of the victim
the other following. and alternately
they penetrate deeper and deeper. The
venom is forced to the ends of the
spears by much the same process az
that which carries the poison from the
tooth of snake when it bites.-Fiold

LITTLE Fcrtilizing Matter in Snow.

1t has been the popular belief that
snow is valuable to the land from the
fertilizjng clements contained III it.
Scientific investigation has shown that
there is little foundation for this belief.
From careful examination it is est'
mated that the total amount of ammo
MIA brought down in rain dew and
snow in the whole year is only about
eight pounds to an acre OF surface. and
but a small part even of tl"; quantity
is in the SNOW. But covering of
snow upon the ground doubtless acts
beneficially, protecting the roots of
grains, grasses and other vegetation
from the effects OF extreme cold.-Hart.

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
General Trade Conditions.

R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly Review
OF Trade" says:
A striking contrast appears when
comparison is made with the corre-
spending week OF last year. Prices
were then tending upward in many
branches OF industry, new business was
coming forward more rApidly than it
could be handled, and in the security
market all records for activity and high
prices were being surpassed.
Later events have demonstrated that
the situation was unhealthy, and spec
ulative excuses have been followed by
reaction and readjustment. ConServa-
tism was then the exception; it is now
the rule. Prospects for steady gains
and their maintenance are brighter un.
der the present system.
Failures this week in the United
States are 1871, against I76 last week,
238 the preceding week, and 200 the
corresponding week last year, and in
Canada 7, against 80 last week, 8 the
preceding week and 10 last year.
