The New York walter. on the contrary, looks
for II eagerly. but seldom utters word Of thanks
for It, Does he regard the tip as matter OF course
as a reward for the usually ignorant and wretched
service rendered, or does he regard Il as an extra
earned wage, for which he owes no thanks,
Destitute Of self respect and OF gratitude. tho
New YORK walter hardly encourages the discreet

Interior of the Raru.

Readers of this department will re-
member the stories l have told of
my Swede hired man, who insists on
grooming the cows as carefully as the
horses. At first we thought this con-
siderable of a joke, but it was soon
discovered that the work was profit
able in the milk return, so now we
take our turn at grooming. Some time
ago this Swede was set to whitewaSh-
ing the inside of the poultry houses,
and after the work was thoroughly
done he wanted the privilege of white
washing the COW stables. 1t seems to
US sometimes as if he wanted to put
whitewash on everything which, in any
way, could be soiled, and we have
allowed him so much liberty in this
respect that he whitewashes the in
terror Of the hog pens, and certainly
thus adds to their beauty as well as to
the healthfulness of the swine. Some
day, while the cows are in the pas
ture, go over the walls with q broom
and sweep down all the dust and cob
webs and then thoroughly whitewash
the walls. You will be so much pleased
by their appearance that you will find
it easy to do it frequently during the
winter. There is no reason, other than
custom, why the interior of barns
should be so dismal and lack so many
cOnveniences. Try some way of i'm

Lafe Matched Chicks.

II one is depending upon eggs lain
in the winter for profit, it is best to
raise early chicks, but the Matched
chick may be made to turn in a good
profit if it is given chance during the
summer. The plan is an easy one.
Put the late-hatched birds together on
a range not too large, so they are
tempted to run off all the flesh you put
on them. Have the range of thick
grass and a portion of it shady Lo-
cate it within convenient distance of
the house and have colony houses on
the range, So that the birds may roost
there. See that they are well sup
piled with water and give them a feed
of grain once a day. making the guam
tfty about half what they would have
if confined Let the grain be mix
ture of wheat and corn in about equal
quantities. 1t may sound strange to
hear wheat advised, but it is profit
able. for you can almost SEE the birds
take on weight. and then when they
must have a month indoors on grain
in The fall they take on weight very
rapidly and go to the market young,
plump and tender, and bring a good
price

The corn crop of the United States
this year is not ouly the largest but the
best on record. We are having the
greatest industrial activity in the ma
tons history. 1t is a record year in
textile manufactures and in the demand
for products. Retail and wholesale ner-
chants report increasingly heavy sales.
There is more money IN circulation than
i'll previous years There is more activ-
ity in all leading industries Freight
movements on the railroads centering in
Chicago are on an unprecedented scale.
All these are indicators of continued
prosperity, but the greatest Of all is the
unprecedented yield of corn
The product of our corn belt this year
is 2,707, 49,, 900 bushels of dorm. or six
times as much rs is produced in all the
rest of the world in one year. The
money value Mt current prices of this
single crop is S1.24J,649 $50. The corn
crop is not only large. but it is of supe-
rior quality. Large as the crop is. there
is demand for all of it. and for the ST.

demand. the heavy WELD af corn means

! Mistress Peggy will never know the
change in her partner!
Jack Thurber looked at his dainty
| partner and blessed the quick witted
girl who had made it possible for him
to hold his sweetheart's hand once
more. This minuet would settle it. If
Peggy refused to listen to him to-
night he would cease to trouble her.
But his heart ached at the thought
and he put the idea away from him
almost fiercely.
He waited until the stately march
as they stood in graceful pose while
the second couples repeated it he whis-
pered softly:
Peggy"
The girl started.
Are you speaking to me, Mr.. Thorn
toni" she replied, slightly emphasiz-
ing the pronoun.
1T isn't Mr. Thornton. l am Jack"
came the reply.
Peggy bit her lip and half withdrew
ward to the center Of the square. The
rich color flooded her cheeks. but some
Row after her first movement of angry
surprise she could not repress the glad
joy that surged in her heart.
Don't be angry, Peggy" pleaded
Jack in low voice as they once more
stood together. But you absolutely
refused to see me. and you would not
read my letters, and 1 had to talk
with you somehow"
The girl listened quietly, waving her
fan nonchalantly.
They were separated again before
she could reply, but in the next fig
ure as Jack knelt at her feet it was
in real and not pretending Alteration,
Peggy knew. Their quarrel seemed
so foolish now, so trivial a thing to
mar the happiness of two lives. Peg
gy drew long sigh as she courtesied
low to her handsome partner
Tell me, sweetheart, is it forgive
and forget?" whispered Jack as he
kissed her hand. IF it Is give me
the dance that comes just after the
minuet."
For answer Peggy looked at him as
she moved slowly in the last figure of
the minuet. Then as she turned for
one final deep courtesy she gently
slipped her dance card into her part
ner's hand.
ITS Yes Jack. she said, softly.

EQUESTRIAN STATUE OF PETER

Neva, toward which the Car is look

city which he founded on a Finnish
swamp. Falconet, Frenchman, cast
the statue, but Marie Collet modelled
the head. The marvellous balance Of
the horse is due to the tail, which
weighs 10000 pounds and rests upon
the serpent which the spirited charger
has trodden under foot as a symbol Of
the difficulties which Peter the Great
overcame at home and abroad The
huge mass of granite forming the base
weighs 500 tons and was quarried at

How Great Britain Sells Live Stock.


To the English farmer the marketing
of live stock and dairy products is
more important than the marketing of
grain. Barely one-seventh of the sup
ply of wheat consumed by the nation
is grown in this island, while more
than one-half of the meat eaten at
home is home-bred. There are two
methods commonly used in disposing
of live stock. The first is by direct
sale, the second by auction. When
the first method is used, the custom
is for the seller TO seek his purchasers
by advertising widely in the agricul-
tural anG other newspapers. The most
common method OF selling live stock,
however, is by auction, and these auc-
tions take place most commonly at the
markets. Nearly every large town has
its market, some more than one, while
many quite Insignificant villages have
their sale yards, and other places are
known entirely by the great fairs held
there once or more often every autumn
or spring. There are about nine hun
dred such places in Great Britain.
