Rations for Colts.

The young colt should be kept grow.
Ing all the time. There is nothing
better for promoting growth than
cows milk that has been skinned.
Most colts can be taught to drink milk
without much trouble, especially II
they have learned to eat bran mash
while running with their dams. A
spoonful of ground fiax-seed added to
each grain ration tends to keep the
bowels in excellent condition aud gives
n rich gloss to the coat. 1t is also q
good idea to teach the foal to eat
apples, potatoes and carrots.

The making of butter on farms leads
to great variation in the quality, ow-
ing to the difference In methods used
on the farms. While choice article
of dairy manufacture will bring a high

creamery butter is more uniform, us
the milk from large number of farms
is handled at the same factory. There
are few diaries which sell butter
at two or three times the regular price,
but they are exceptions.

Opposite Hunting Park, on Old York
road. resides a family. Torpey' by
name. The Torpeys own two cats
that are different from other cats in
that they go to church. AS regularly
as Sunday morning arrives the pair Of
felines may be seen following the Tor
pegs to st. Stephens Church, Broad
and Butler streets. No matter what the
weather or transpirings on back fences
the two pious cats brave possible at
tacks by impious mongrels and set an
example that many humans would do
well to follow. Neighbors will attest
to the truthfulncsS of the statement
that the church-going felines spend
the very early morning hours of Sun
day in licking themselves into that
state of cleanliness which is said to be
secondary only to godliness. Their fur
Is glossy. their paws immaculate. and
not whisker is out of place. Arrived
at the church the cats content them
selves with peering in at the door.
Ihey are seemingly content to delegate
the praying to their owners. Then
they slip into the vestibule of the
priests house adjoining. curl up and
doze until church is out. when they
follow the Torpeys home and live nor

An Austrian Custom.

One of the oldest of the Austrian
customs is the result of legislation.
According to law every house must be
closed from 10 o'clock at night until 6
o'clock the following morning. During
that time each house is in charge of
an attendant known as the ''Hausbe-
sorger." or caretaker. In large apart
ment buildings this Hausbesorger is
usually a uniformed porter. Every
person entering the house between 10
at night and 6 in the morning must
pay to the Hausbesorger twenty he'll
lers -four cents).
This gives rise to a curious ccndi-
ton. Naturally the man who comes
home at early hours need not necessa-
rily pay anything, while the man who
nab1tually gets in at 2 or 3 in the
morning is a frequent contributor to
the Hausbesorger's bank account. In
quiry OF the Hausbesorger concerning
Mr.. A. may result in the startling in
formation that he is a most disreputa-
Die, mean sort of man, while the night
hawk Mr.. B. will undoubtedly be laud-
ed as splendid fellow of excellent
reputation. As a conservator of the
pubic morals, therefore, the Hausbe-
sorger can hardly be called a success.

YOUNG MEN OF THE SOUTH
How They Win Their Way to Success in
Nov York Civ.


New York City.
In deploring the sudden death of
Third Deputy Police Commission Har-
ris Lindsey Mr.. McAdoo refers to the
young men who come to New York City
from the South as having marked
ability, Unborn integrity and chival-
rous sense of honor"
No class of men win an average of
higher success than the South's con-
tribution to New York's cosmopolitan
population. But Mr.. McAdoo did not
mention the most marked difference
between them and the delegations from
Eastern, Northern and Western States
In honesty and ability no comparison
can be made to the dispara cement of
any section. In persistence and train
ing to stand hard work the boy from
Northern farm or village at least
equals the Southern boy.
1t is by his better manners, by his
habitual courtesy, that the young man
from the South often succeeds where
hard work alone would bring less re-
suits. He goes into a profession as a
rule rather than into business, and
there his appearance, his breeding and
his manners secure him good connec-
tons and lucrative work.
The influence of older women has
much to do with a young mans sue
cess. Southern men come to New York
with social training and liking for
feminine society that is of great value.
Such social graces are a good profess
sional asset in New York, where the
power of women is exerted much
further than appears on the surface

Skill OF OId-Time Sur~.o,.

VI the skill in surgery of DR.. Val
ent1ne Mott, it is recorded that in 1904
ne performed what is universally al
lowed to be the most difficult feat
ever attempted in surgery. A clergy
man was afflicted with an enromons
tumor in the neck, in which were i'm
oedded and twisted many Of the
great arteries. In removing the tn
NOR 1t was necessary to take out the
enure one OF the collar bones, to lay
pare the membrane inclosing the
lungs, to dissect around arteries dis
paced by the tumor and imbedded in
It, to apply forty-dve ligatures and re-
move an immense mass Of Olsen sed
matter. All this was done without
the aid Of chloroform. The patient
survived the operation and MANY
years afterward continued to dis
charge the duties Of his profession.

Value of an Emiurant.

Old DIR. Farr, the late Superinten-
dent of Statistics in the Office of the
Registrar-General, made an estimate
of the money value of a man on the
bases of the capitalized value of his
probable net future earnings. On the
basis of the agricultural laborer's
wages at that time, he calculated that
each individual-man, woman and
child-was on an average worth about
E110 to the country. In the same
way he calculated that the emigrant
of that time, because OF the larger
proportion of adult males than in the
general population, was worth an
average OF about s170 to the coiin-
try.
Since the date when these calcula-
lions were made by DR.. Farr wages
have risen, and the future earnings
have been increased by the greater
average length of life. 1t is probable,
therefore. that the average value of
an emigrant at the present time is not
less than G200 and of family of
four persons about $500.
The emigration of 5000 families
would thus mean loss of about four
million sterling in the capital value

a slngle-talect man,supported by
great self confidence will achieve
more than ten-talent man who does
not believe in himself. The mind can
not act with vigor in the presence of
doubt. A wavering mind makes a
Wavering execution. There must be
certainty, confidence and assurance.
or there can be no efficiency. An un
educated man who believes in himself.
and who has faith that he can do the
tn1ns he undertakes, often puts to
shame the average college-bred man.
