A Rare Occasion.

As new words are coined for new
uses, so language must contain
blanks where words have never been
needed. Commander Peary, the arc
tic explorer, was one day talking to
a group of friends who were greatly
interested about life in the extreme
ATTITUDES.
'Do you speak the Eskimo Ian
guage p asked one.
"Ies."
''What is it like? For instance,
how would an Eskimo say good
morning? p"
"He wouldn't say it," returned
the commander, with smile.
''Not say it? Are social customs
entirely lacking there?''
''No, but, you see,'' said the ex-
plorer, cit is country where they
would have occasion to use those
words only once year. So, you see,
they don't have them"

'No," well known society wom-

Of town frequently on visits to

"Not like change of scene? How
queer" responded the woman to

ooh, | like change Of environ

''but l do not like adapting my
whole life to others, as the visitor

GAS the ideal guest you change

for eating your meals, change your

dairy. Heifers grown and fattened as
| have outlined are almost sure to be
poor dairy animals thereafter and If
not meant for the block very differ
ent treatment should be given.
Horns on baby beefs are bad. Breed
them off or dehorn when very young
Angus sires will take off horns end
make quick maturing steers. To de"
horn the baby calf, lay him gently
down on his side when he is about a
week old, wet the budding horn hump
saturating place as big as quarter
of dollar. Take common powdered
concentrated lye, as much a. two
grains of corn, spread it over the wet
spot and press it gently in with a
knife blade. That kills the skin
there and prevents horn growth. A
scab forms which let alone, when it
peals off the hair grows over it, leav-
ing beautiful smooth head.
1t costs much money to saw off
horns from calves or yearlings. The
check in thirst is remarkable and is
due to nervous shock and loss of
blood. Stopping horn growth cost?
not a penny to calf, few minutes
time, little smart, soon forgot.
Warm, open, sheltered, dry quart
ers are necessary. No fussing, no
coddling, but every day all the food
the little fellows will eat and no
more, tell the story.
Beef can be made in this way in
MINI. for an average cost of less
than BIC per 10. the first year &.
Growth the second year costs double.
Babes are the only things that it
pays to feed.

Her Shrewd Comment.

For Herbert Spencer the minds of
lunatics had an odd fascination.
Mr.. Spencer was a frequent visitor
to number of asflums, and he re-
counts some unconscious witticlam
of Il lunatic.
Sometimes he would tell of the
criticism lunatic woman made on
a sermon that was preached in her
asylum. The criticism was brief,
but it was telling
.'To think" said the woman,
pointing toward the clergyman-"to
think of him out and me in.

Jesse Grant and the Queen.


When General Grant was in Lon
don on his trip around the world
he was invited to Windsor castle by
Queen Victoria, says the Saturday
Evening Post. The queen received
the party in one of the private au-
dience chambers and chatted with
General Grant for a few moments
before dinner was served.
Jesse Grant, then a small boy,
was with the general and stood just
behind him. AS the general was
talking Jesse pulled impatiently at
his coat tails a number of times.
Finally the general turned halfway,
and Jesse whispered, ''Pa, can't |
be introduced?"
"Your majesty" said the general,
81 should like to present my son,
Master jesse"
The queen took Jesse's hand cor
daily, and that young man, think.
ing it incumbent on him to say
something, glanced approvingly
around the room and said, Cline
house you have here, ma'am."

Little HaroId's Plea.

Little Harold had been told, says
a writer in the Chicago Clinic, that
the Lord will heal in answer to pray
er. Soon after in the course of a
thunderstorm Harold suffered from
jumping toothache, and his moth
er overheard him say:
80 Lord, stop my toothache!
After few seconds silence he con-
tinued, 30 Lord, please do, for heav-
ems sake, stop my toothache."
There was silence for another
short interval, followed by crash
of thunder. When the rumbling
ceased Harold was heard to groan
and plead.
20 Lord, please do stop the durn
thunder long enough to listen to
me-"
