SHE TURNED AND PREPARED FOR SEQ
OND CHARGE.
the tousled boy to leave the barn. The
boy slouched sulkily away, black
wrath in his heart
But the boys remark had suggested
an idea to Middleton.
Its all Imagination on the part of
that COW to think hay is not as good
as grass. If she supposed she was eat
ing grass she would give as much
milk as before, even if her food sup
ply happened really to be hay"
"She may be credulous cow" re-
piled Mrs. Middleton In doubtful tones
''But how even your flow of persuasive
words can make her believe hay is
grass is more than can see."
But Mrs. Middleton's incredulity did
not decrease her husbands ardor in
his plan for revolutionizing dairy
farming. The next morning Middle
ton went to an optician and left an
order for an unusually large pair of
plain green glass spectacles. In the
afternoon, gloating over his scheme
for an increased milk supply, he
marched triamphantly out to the barn.
The COW didn't seem to understand
why she should wear spectacles, as she
had never made any complaint of fail
ing eyesight. But after a little she
became somewhat reconciled to them.
Middleton kicked around some hay, so
that it would look like grass though
on the floor OF the barn. Then he
went back to the house to explain
more fully to Mrs. Middleton the ben
efits which would accrue from his idea.
About an hour later the tousled
headed boy entered the barn. The
COW was eating the hay, but she GER
tainly was a much puzzled animal.
Her eyesight showed that it was green
and it looked like grass, but 1t was dry
and didn't in the least taste like grass.
Now the tousled headed boy still cher
; ished feelings of wrath. When he saw
the spectacles on the COW he gasped
with amaZement,
Blamed if dat guy amt put glasses
on dat cow TO make her ttnk she is
| eating grass" he murmuPed,
Just then he happened to slip his
| hand into one of his trousers pockets.
| Among the usual treasures slowed
away in a boys pockets his fingers
touched two pieces of glass. He drew
them out. They were red Aad round
and with a little trouble might be fit

| COW was wearing. And into the mind
of the tousied one crept a suggestion
of how he might have revenge on Mid
dleton and little fun on his own ac-
count.
Cows amt so fierce as bulls, -
thought the tousled one. But dey
don't like red a bit better"
He took the spectacles from the
cows nose, pushed cut the green
glasses and inserted the red ones. He
replaced the red glassed spectacles.
Then he hastily climbed into the hay
NOW and awaited developments.
When the crimson spectacles were

MENACE TO BUSINESS.

The business man is about as much
vexed by changes in the laws, and
by threats of them, as the farmer is
by changes in the weather and the
signs of the sky
We have had peace, rest and re-
pose from tariff agitation for seven
years. The law is the most success
full the country has ever known. 1t
has been the accompaniment of the
greatest period of prosperity in our
annals as a nation. At the same
time, it has refuted about all the
regulation doctrines of the profess
sional economists of the schools. 1t
has upset more alleged principles
taught in the books than new writ
ers can think up in century.
But the success of the protective
system is no bar to renewed attacks
upon it. The opposition party frank
ly denounces it as robbery. 1t puts
the opprobrious term into its plat
form, though the candidate is too
timid to follow it up in his own ut
terances. The situation ought to
be perfectly understood by every
voter, no matter what his business.
The question before the people is
whether we shall rip and smash pro-
tective legislation or continue the
prosperity we have. We may be-
lieve that the opposition is sheer
cant because we recall what happen
ed when the democratic party made
tariff law of its own ten years ago
that turned out to be a beautiful
scheme from the southern stand
point, but from no other; but we
have no right to expect anything
but disaster from the bungling GER
tain to follow transferring power
from one party to the other now.
I Sanguine men look back to the
craze for change in 1892 and some
say they see its repetition coming
down the pike te-day, but people
like ours is not to be stampeded
twice in a dozen years, and espec-
tally after the experience of panic
and ruin just left behind US. s.-Buf-

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
Of food, but because the food
loes not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion reallyfeeds
nd gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems to find
it and set the matter right.

Happened at Nashville.

An amusing thing happened at
Nashville which might easily have
become tragic, and, news getter
though am, [ failed to get hold of
it. Over in East Nashville, beyond
the Cumberland river, lives an old
schoolmate of DR.. G. G. Browns, in
that, gentleman's Washington and
Lee University days. On Monday
of the Convention, DR.. Brown drove
over in carriage to see this ex-
student and present saw mill man.
Being a genial spirit the Doctor
sought companionship on the ride,
with the result that Revs. 0. l.. Mar
tin, J. B. Parrot and o. j. Copeland
occupied the closed carriage with
him.
They were making the return trip,
when at a railway crossing a freight
train standing near took a notion to
back down the track. Tie old ne
gro driver On his exalted seat did
not see or hear. The carriage wheels
were crushed, the horses thrown on
one side of the track, and the car
riage and it's occupants overturned
on the other. One by one they strug-
gled up through the opened window
on the upper side of the vehicle, and
it was found that no one was hurt!
Mr.. Parrot had stepped on the silk
hat worn by another of the gentle
men, and Doctor Brown had lost the
cigar from its holder, which he still
held between his lips. But all was
we'll!
Speaking of Doctor Brown, I have
this day aided him in constructing a
chicken-coop, and if am called
upon to do posthumous writing as to
him, I shall be glad to give testimo-
ny that he gave such remarkable at
tention to details that he did enough
work on a coop for chickens to make
rather good primitive room for a
human being. And whJ, pray,
should preacher have a chicken
coop? It is said they feast much on
the fowls which Others raise.-Rev.

The Way They Are Formed From the
Mantle of the Fish.
4 sea shell, whether in one piece
(uniyalve). as in periwinkles, or in two
pieces Divalve), as in mussels and coc-
kles, is formed in much the same way.
It consists of a colored outer horny
layer, middle layer Of prismatic struc-
ture and an inner pearly coating of
innumerable very thin plates. the edges
of which break up white light into its
constituents, so as to give rise to a
beautiful play Of iridescence.
The body Of a shelldsh is invested
in a soft fap Of skin known as the
mantle" By the activity Of this the
shell is secreted, a sticky fluid exudes
from it's surface and quickly hardens
to form horny or calcareous matter.
The salts Of lime are chiefly in the
form Of carbonate, but there is also a
percentage Of phosphate.
Only the edge of the mantle is able
to manufacture the two outer layers OF
the shell, and repair Of injuries is en-
tirely carried out in nacre, or mother
of-pearl
