wAsrEFuI pARslMoNY.

We know hard working tenant
who lost fifty out of fifty-four little
pigs simply because his landlord would
not provide suitable quarters for the
sows at farrowipg time. In ordinary
years thrifty little pig is worth SIS
simply as an investment. On this
basis the loss sustained in the above
instance was in the neighborhood of
$3.50, sum sufficient to fix up a
pretty respectable hog house. 1t
seems to be true of this landlord, as
of good many like him, that he is
most extravagant and wasteful in his
very effort to be economical. A well
recognized business principle which
he fails to perceive is that to succeed
best in an enterprise certain amount
of capital must be invested to get
things on their feet and that in nc
line is this truth more applicable than
that of stock raising. .-Exchange.

MAKE CHILDREN POLITE.

There was company, and in what
turned out to be an evil moment some
one gave little Lucille rose.
"Say thank you,' urged her
mother.
For some reason Lucille declined to
deliver the small coin of courtesy.
Her mother insisted. The child still
refused. The company became un-
comfortable and pleaded for Lucille
that she was too young to understand.
''But I must make her understand, !"
said the adamantine mother.
The making" went on till accord
ing to the HouSekeebey, Lucille grew
desperate in her defiance and was car
ried from the room.
"You have such charmingly polite
children" said young mother to an
older one; tell me, do they all have
to learn it by such painful methods?"
"No, indeed. think painful meth
DDS are great mistake. Fine man.
ners must be learned by absorption.
The child must be surrounded by
good copies and he will get politeness
without ever being reminded of it.
That is the only kind that really
soaks in.
"And did you never tell your chill
dren about these things?"
"Not of the little things that be-
long to the common routine of life.
For instance, we never told one of
the FIVE to say thank you.' Instead,
we said thank you to them for every
little service, and while they were
yet babies unable to speak plainly,
they said 'tanky' on all proper occa-
sions. If you please and Il beg

SINGING TO THE COWS.
The COW considered very well,
She gave the piper q penny,
That he would play the tune again

OF "Corn rigs are bonny."
It seems that there is some foun-
dation in fact for this old rhyme.
Here is the story which a New York
woman, who has recently returned
from a vacation on a Connecticut
farm, is telling:
EVERY evening used to love to
hear the old farmer at whose place I
was staying singing cheerily as he
MIXED his FIVE cows. 1t appealed to
me as pretty touch of sylvan exist
ence.
"One evening I walked into the
barn while the milking was in pro-
gress, and the old man sat singing
away.
"'Well, Mr.. Hart, it does me good
to hear you so happy said.
Happy he retorted, turning
upon me with whitening scarcasm. Il
reckon you must think I'm quite some
musical, don't ye? I'd be heap
happier if could ever run across a
hired man who had enough brains to
keep his mouth shut while he was
milking. One blessed lunatic of them
after another starts to hum or sing as
soon as he sits down on the milking
stool, and once the COWS get used to
the entertainment there's no breaking
of the habit. They won't give you
any milk less you give them time.
Have yourself now, Bess The con-
cert's going to continue
"And he broke into song again,
while 1 slowly left the barn, another
simple life idyl shattered.
s'I was so incredulous, however, that
asked his wife if this seemingly alb
surd thing was true or If the old man
might not have been joking me. She

singing the whole time he didn't get
half the proper quantity of milk.
"Then she proceeded to tell me OF
a COW her father had obtained once
from an old fellow who was noted as
being very religious. He had assured
them that she was splendid mixer,
yet wher they tried to milk her in
her new home she stamped, hitched
and generally endangered the pail dur
ing the whole proceeding.
Zone evening her former owner
turned up at milking time and hear
ing the complaint against the COW
went to the barn, puzzled to account
for her behavior. He stood in the
doorway and watched while the milk
ing was attempted with the usual dis
play of bovine bad temper.
"Then suddenly he began to whis-
tie the tune of an old hymn. AT the
first notes the cow stopped her antics
and stood quietly until milked, the
old chap keeping up the whistling all
the while.
"'That's it, he explained compla-
Gently when it was over. I've sort

tune as milk and Ireckon she miss

that it is "very rude to blow ones

courage animals to jump on the table.

WHEN TO WIND A WATCH.

"Most people, said the watchmak-
er, "wind their watches at night but
it would be better to wind them in the
morning.
"You see, we are liable to go to
bed at different hours, and so to wind
our watch at irregular intervals; and
it is better to wind it tregularly. Then
we are more liable to forget to wind
our watch at night than in the morn
ing and so may let 1t run down.
1'But we are pretty sure to get up
in the morning at our regular hour,
whatever the hour at which we went
to bed, and so by winding it then we
may insure regularity of winding and
the watch is brought to mind then.
when we put it on for use, and we are
less likely to forget to wind it.
$50 morning is the best time to
wind watch, if you can get yourself
into the habit of winding it then."
