Jennie's Selflshness.

Johnnie and Jennie were having a
tea party.

said Johnnie, graciously.
And will help to the cake" went
on Johnnie.

doubtfully.
So Jennie poured out the tea, and
Johnnie cut up the cake. Mamma had
given them quite large piece. John
ME cut the large piece into five small
er pieces. They were all about the
same size.
He helped Jennie to one piece, and
began to eat another himself, Jennie
poured another cup of tea, and the
feast went on. Mamma, in the next
room, heard them talking peacefully
awhile; but presently arose discus
sion, and then a prolonged wall from
Johnnie.
What is the matter?" asked man.

"Jennie's greedy and Selfish too
cried Johnnie, between his sobs.
Then he cried again.
"What is the matter?" repeated
mamma, going in to find out.

as he could speak, I'VE each had two

Parental Depravity Among Birds.

Laxity of morals among birds is not
so rare as some suppose. or these de-
generates our common cuckoo, beloved
of the poets,i is an easy first. Some
time since fine series of eggs of this
bird, together with those Of its dupes,
was placed in the central hall OF the
Natural History Museum at South
Kensington. This has now been sup
plemented by selection of examples
of other birds, mostly cuckoos, which
show a similar depravity In the mat
ter of parental responsibilities. Such,
for example, are the great spotted
cuckoo-a rare visitor to Great Bri-
tain--the ami and guira, and the cow
bird of South America. The first
named is common in southern Spain,
and lays its eggs in the nests Of crows
and magpies. But the young bird is
less OF a hooligan than is the case
with our cuckoo. inasmuch as 1t does
not GUST it's foster brothers and sis
tiers from the nest. ffi
The ami and guira are South Amer
jcan cuckoos which have earned noto-
riety from the fact that several fe-
males combine to lay the eggs in one
nest, taking II in turns, according to
some authorities, to perform the work
of incubation, but others contend that
this is left to the kindly Offices Of the
sun. As soon. however, as the young
emerge from the shell the females

Chair Of Sunday-SChOOl Peda-
gOgy 20 Be Established.

A chair of Christian and Sun
da y-school pedagogy will, in all
probability be placed in the South
ern Baptist Theological Seminary
next session, and one OF the most
prominent Sunday-schOol workers
in the country is mentioned as the
professor who will fill the chair.
1t is, as far as is known, the first
chair of its kind ever established
in any theological seminary. 1t is
the result OF the evolution of a
series of lectures on Sunday
school works delivered before the
students of the seminary in the
last four or five years. DR.. E. Z.
Mullins, the president of the semi
nary, conceived the idea which has
met with the hearty approval of
all the members of the faculty.
The chair, it is contemplated,
will be supported jointly by the
seminary and by the Sunday-school
board Of the Southern Baptist
Convention, which has headquart-
ers in Nashville. DR.. j. NJ. Frost,
for mer Kentuckian, is secretary

Wages Too High For Farmers.

One reason why laborers on the
farm is scarce is because the great
cities and railroads can afford to
pay more than the farmers can.
The farmers cannot pay a common,
stout man 81 so per day; so they
will do without the help and re-
duce their acreage in cultivation.
This will be necessity, but it will
produce scarcity that will be
seriously felt among the mechan-
les, clerks and merchants, who will
have to pay higher prices for all
kinds of vegetables and fruits.
When the city of Nashville fixed
the price of a stout, unskilled la
oorer at $3.50 per day, thousands
of colored people threw down the
pillow and rushed into the city,
leaving the farmers and their wives
to struggle to keep up their farms,
If improved implements are used
on the farms, they will greatly re-
lieve the enforced conditions.
There are now in Nashville hum
dreds OF white families who can,
greatly improve their financial
condition by moving to the coun-
try and teaching their daughters
to do domestic work, and their
boys to handle the ak, hoe and
pillow. The country is the place
for health, comfort and freedom
from care.--Southern Agriculturist

it is not embraced in any theologi-

E. A Fox, General Secretary of
the Sunday school Association of
Kentucky, heartily approves the
plan. He said: eff the plan is
adopted by the Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary, and have
10 doubt that it will be, every
seminary in the country will take
it up and it will produce almost a
revolution In the methods of con-
Quoting SuRday-schools."

Destroying stumps On the Farm.

An experienced farmer says: SIN
the fall bore an inch hole down
into the center of the stump IA or
16 inches deep. Put a couple of
ounces of saltpeter into this hole,
fill with water, and plug up tight.
In the spring take out the plug,
pour into the hole about half a gill
Of kerosene oil, and light it. The
stump will burn away slowly with
~opt blazing, to the ends of the
roots, leaving nothing but ashes"
The nitrogen in the saltpeter will
penetrate into the roots during the
winter, and the coal oil will easily
start the fire, and the wood dis
solves into ashes. The ashes viii
be worth as much as a fsrtilizer As
the saltpeler and oil will cost.

a better man and the former a
richer one:
Don't mix water with your Gus
toners milk.
Don't mix warm milk with that
which has been cooled.
-Don% mix dirt with milk. Keep
the cows udders clean.
Don't expose the milk to bad
odOrs. 1t is astonishing how quick
ly it will assimllate them.
Don't keep the milk in the barn
longer than possible. AS soon as
drawn it should be strained into
clean vessels and put in a cool
place.
Don't add anything to the milk
to keep it from souring. Cooling
it quickly and thoroughly is the
only thing necessary.
Don't milk the COWS until you
have thoroughly cleaned their nd
ders. No strainer can remove the
foreign matter or odor of it after
it is once dissolved in the milk

Don't be loud or rough when
handling the cows. If you have
good mixers they are necessarily
very nervous. For this reason it is
advisable to excite them as little
as possible. Many good COW has

abuse.
Don't fail to observe these rules

of the year and have better pay

Home Management.

A managing woman is quite term
of reproach but it ought not to be SO,
for every wife and mother should try
to be this. The fact Is that women
feel this pretty generally. but a good
many have not the tact and wisdom
they need to help them in their work.
Management, when recognized, is al
ways rather resented both by children
and grown-up people as an indignity,
but tactful woman never let's 1t be
seen, and peace and happiness are as
sured under her reign.
She studies the dispositions of her
husband, children, and dependents, and
wins rather than drives. She is gentle
and courteous, and requests and sug'
gests far more than she commands.
The great secret of successful man
agement at home Is to keep your OWL
temper, and to take care not to upset
any one elses. In the control Of hel
servants the good mistress gives praise
where it Is deserved, and gives credit
for good intentions even where the per
Torrance has not been wholly satisfac
tory. If sometimes 1t Is necessary t
administer a reproof. she chooses |
time when she can do 30 pleasantly.

is not only essential to the health and
proper enjoyment of the family, but
it is actually matter Of profit Could
your whole farm be made as smooth,
dry, rich and as well cultivated as a
good garden, the increased product
would pay a large per cent Of profit
upon the outlay. In the garden, or in
separate compartment, may be cult
waited Strawberries, raspberries, black
berries, currants, grapes and dwarf
pears. They can all be had at a very
small cost of money or labor, and will
add immensely to the enjoyment OF
the household.

stone and cement foundation Is advis-
able. With this to rest the plank upon
the frame is raised.
No stills are used and the< upright
studs take the place Of posts. Two for
each post are set on the foundation on
each side. Between these the cross
plank is placed and spiked so that 1t
will extend the width Of the barn and
tie the two sides together. The scant-
lings on each side of the barn floor,
forming center posts, are then raised

of each upright Is spiked plank of

boards instead Of plank on outside, give

Every farmer is familiar with what
is called "crop-bound" in fowls. The
crop becomes packed with food that
has ceased to pass into the gizzard
of the bird. If the contents Of the
crop consist of grain only, the fowl
should be kept from food for some
days. In addition, the crop should be
manipulated with the hands. This will
tend to loosen the grain and start its
passage into the gizzard.
Sometimes the condition Is caused by
feeding cut hay, dried alfalfa or clover
which have packed at the point where
the food should pass out Of the crop
One poultry raiser in cases Of this kind
pours sweet Oil down the throat of the
bird, and this loosens up the mass. In
bad cases he opens the crop by cut
ting and removes the collected food
afterward sewing up the crop. He says
that this does appear to cause the bird
much pain. After this Is done the bird
should be fed only milk or other light
food for some days.
