Early Birds.

An English nobleman in i'll health
was out one morning early, YEARLY
taking a constitutional. Walking
along his game preserves, he turned
a sharp corner and came face to face
with an Irishman who had the reputa-
ton of being an inyeterate poacher.
Putting his hands and what they
held behind him, he preserved a per.
fectly virtuous aspect, while the gen.
tleman hailed him cordially with,
Good morning, Pat"
Good marnin, yer haner. An
phwat brings yer haner out so airly

Forcing the Youthful Mind.

There is very general cry that chill
dren are becoming every day less
childlike, that they are being pressed
far beyond their strength. OF course,
the fanatics tell us that it is not sc
that all this outcry is the outcome of
misplaced sentiment and of ignorance
of the true inwardness of educational
methods. But this we know, that
forced minds are very like forced
plants-curiosities, perhaps, but not
such as the experienced c%ultivator
keeps as stock" Nature is very jeal-
GUS for her musings. You may fool
considerably with adult specimens,
even, to the degree of making them
hideous; you may experiment almost
indefinitely with this, and the other
kind of pruning. grating, but let a
cold wave Or a hot wave but once blow
upon your tender musings and they
are gone without hope of resurrection.

Lona.Lived and Prolific Famii,

1t Is not easy to find a family which
has five generations, but there is such
a family at Ensival, near Liege. The
two oldest members are aged respec-
lively eighty-seven and e~ighty-six
years. They had fourteen children.
Nicholas, the eldest OF these, married
at Liege and still lives there. His
oldest daughter, Jeanne, married in
her turn and had a daughter. who Is
also married and the mother of three
children. The family's name Is Well

YOUNG Fool and the Old.

There's no fool like a young fool
When fire are concerned
Behold them all. the victims small,
With hands and faces burned,
Behold the famed and killed and manned,
Their needless sufferings:
There's no fool like the OH Fool
Who gives a child such things.
There's no fool like a young fool
In glorious July,
To fire a bomb and lose a thumb
And tear away ar eye,
To touch a light to dynamite
. And scatter death and noise:
There's no fool like the Old Fool
Who gives a child such toys.
There's no fool like a young fool
To make the Fourth a crime.
When every nurse and every hearse
Is working overtime.
When East and West and North and
South.
The lists appalling grow:
There's no fool like the Old Fool
Who thinks a child should know.
There's no fool like the young fool
Who smells the powder smoke;
But the awful play that mars the Day
Has ceased to be a joke,
Yet Satan tempts the Old Fool
To chuckle meath his breath
And put among the needless young
The instruments of death.

Combined MIX Pail and stool.

Combined Milk Pail and stool.
Mr.. F. M. Carryl, a Connecticut
dairyman, describes in the Jersey Bull
letin, a combined milk pail and stool
which he invented and is using with
great satisfaction. The pail is 10 inch
es in diameter and 10 inches deep, the
neck or spout is Z inches and the re-
ceiving cup is 81 inches across. Mr..
Carryl had 1t made by a tinsmith, who
charged him $3.50 for material and Ia
Dor. In describing the pail Mr.. Carryl
says:
"The pail is all of three-ply tin ex-
cept the cover (Which sets in flush);
this is galvanized iron. The bowl in
the spout is a pint dipper cut to fit,
and the milk falls in this and runs
over into the pail on which I sit; there
Is no scattering at all. Then to
empty the bowl, just turn the spout
halfway round, and it drains entirely
sketch of the spout piece alone. This
part fits snugly into the pail spout,
so I have no rubber to get rotten.
"The bottom of the pail is ~
inches above the bottom of sides, to
guard against puncture from stones,
etc., when used in the field or yard;
however, I always milk in the stable,
but even there the bottom is just as
we'll raised. The handle is in line with
the spout, and drops down out Of the
way as you sit down to milk, and is
just where you want it if you have to
get away quickly as will sometimes
happen to anyone.
I'm all these years l have not had
a COW get her foot in the spout but
once; this bent it down, but our tin
smith bent it back, and the same pail

we'll, and Is less dangerous, because
bisulphide of carbon is very inflam-
mable. It is just possible that before
you read this the ants may have dis
appeared and that the annoyance you
suffered at the time you wrote vas
from the fact that it was just at the
time when these insects were leaving
the old nest and wandering about to
start new colonies. At such times
they frequently enter houses and
swarm everywhere, but soon disap-
pear again.

passed a few people, none of whom
paid any attention to the weary old
Jew Flooding along on his way to Gag

1t was about eleven o'clock when
arrived at a point near the villa of
the prefetto, and I stood a moment as
if resting. Several persons passed me.
none of whom looked at me the Sec

whom I looked again and again.
He was a small man, an Italian, and
wore ~mustaches, waxed and curled to

was Dambo, the mar whom had seen
in Madison Square Garden set fire to

what, perhaps, did he know about Ma
