How It Struck "Joe."

"Jos" was the name of . servant employed for many years " Mr. Oar- sncs King, the smineSnt geolosist. Joe's life was evidently tM his work. and he judged of all things in the world by their relation t@ it. In "King's Mem odrs" this ap!ecdots of Joss point of view is given:
 At a s!ent,sman's country seat with good scervants' accommodations, ample faciiiG ss tor backing boots and brush ing selothins. well-tr1mmed lawns and gefntesl society, Joe was in paradise but experience in the muddy or dusty wilderness half-paralyzed his useful ness and wholly Quenched his enjoy. ment
 On ono occasion, attsnded by this man only, King made his way to the Grand Canon of the Colorado, and stood for a tme dumb upon its brink overwhelmed by the vastness and the glory of the scene. At last 1t seemed to him that he must speak; and as he turned away he said:
 Well, Joe, how does 1t strike you?
 "It's no place for gentleman, sir" was the reply.

Metal Glued to Wood

In order to fasten metal to wood without the use of nails or screws, the metal may be roughened by the use of dilute sulphuric acid. AS soon as the metal has beer wiped dry 1t is glued on with the best 5oiner's glue, to which a little glycerin has been added. This process is not only adapted for small plates or slabs, but also larger ones, but care must be taken that they touch the roughened wood surface evenly throughout.

How to Feed Calves

A writer in Wallace's Farmer gives
some excellent directions for FEEDING
calves. After two weeks he would
nave oats and corn ground together
to feed them after they have finished
their milk. 1t should not be mixed
with the milk. When the calf is six
weeks old he would drop the oats and
give shelled corn. The corn supplies
the element which was taken from
the milk by the separator, that is the
cream or butter fat. So theseparator
milk and shell corn make a balanced
feed.
