Mixed the Infants To.

AT Southport, England, some years
ago, births took place in two families
living in the same house. In one case
twins arrived, and a single in the 9TH
err The three children were being
washed and dressed, and the father
of the twins coming in, the three were
placed in one bed with the idea of
leading him to believe that his wife
had given birth to triplets. The joke,
for that was all which was intended,
succeeded to the full-for the time at
least-and then came the question Of
separating the infants and restoring
them to their respective mothers
Here difficulty presented itself, and
the women in attendance were
shocked to find themselves unable to
say which was which. A Liverpool
paper says the identification has not
yet been satisfactorily established,
and it is a case in which even a Solo,
mon might be puzzled.

FOR HAPPY MARRIED LIFE.
Good Manners Go Far to Preserve
Peace and Concord.

great many people seem to think
that the marriage ceremony absolves
them from all further courtesies and
attentions to the person whom they
have wed. After that they are always
in negligee, both as to manners and
clothes, when they are at home. This
Is a fatal mistake Because a woman
is married is no excuse for her going
untidily about the house, and telling
her husband home truths that hurt his
vanity. Because a woman is his wife
gives man no right to say things to
her he would not dare to say to any
other lady who possessed big, able
bodied brother. Good manners are the
preservation of peace and concord,
and are warranted to keep happiness
in any climate. The problem of how
to be happy though married is really
no problem at all. No mystery should
ever have been made of it. 1t is mere.
ly fair dealing in fair partnership
giving the other party the privileges
and perquisites you assume for your
self, and allowing the person you love
as much consideration and civility as
you would show stranger-New

GIFT NOT ALL A GIFT.
Generosity That Was Purely the Re.
suit of Accident.

A missionary bishop told this story
about F. Marion Crawford, the famous
novelist:
Mr., Crawford went to school, he
said. "in Concord, and one day he was
taken to call at Concord clergy.
mans.
THE clergyman had a missionary
box on his drawing room table, and,
time hanging heavily on the boys
hands, he amused himself with try
ing whether silver dollar-it was
all the money he had in the world.
and he had converted it into that ri.
gantic coin for safety--would go into
the slit in the box's top.
1T was a close fit, but unfortunate.
ly 1t did go, and the coin slipped out
of the embryo authors fingers. There
was a terrible crash Of silver falling
among the coppers-and then the boy,
as the novelists say, knew no more
When he came to himself he found
the clergyman and his family in rap
lures over his generosity"

"AII In" JudiciallY Defined.

DO Pac. Rep. 221, the Nevada supreme
court gives definition of the slang

up in connection with the admission
in evidence of dying declaration, the
declarant's statement that he was "all
in" being relied on to show that he
was under sense of impending death.
The court said: "The expression, I
am all in is one frequently made use
of in this western country, and when
used under the circumstances in ques-
ton may, we think, be taken to have
meant that the speaker considered his
life was practically at an end"

Sure to Have One.

Lincoln Steffens. in an address on
municipal politics, said in Chicago of
certain city:
That city is as notorious for its
rottenness as the town of Pebbles is
notorious for another characteristic.
Here is an incident that will give
you an idea of the reputation of Peb-
bles.
On train one day a man rushed
into car, held up his hand for atten-
ton, and shouted excitedly:
Anybody here who belongs to
Pebbles?'
Aye; | do said small, dry old
fellow calmly.

Water and Salt For Cows.

Eight gallons of water a day is
the average quantity required for a
COW and the milk given is about
eighty-seven per cent. water. In
some pastures there is no water, the
COWS being supplied night and morn
ing, which forces each cow to drink
four gallons at a time in order to be
supplied. AS the cow does not know
that she must drink four gallons,
she may use less and she will reduce
her milk supply accordingly.
Extensive tests and Investigations
have been made at the experiment
stations to determine the advisability
of adding salt to the ration of dairy
cows. AS a result of these trials, it
is recommended that dairy COWS be
given at least one ounce of salt per
day. Exceptionally heavy mixers
will require more than this. The
uniform results obtained with all
cows employed in these trials indicate
that salt in addition to that obtained
in their food is absolutely essential
to the continued health of dairy
cow, while producing milk. 1t is evil
dent, moreover, that the amount of
salt which must be supplied directly
will greatly vary in different locali-
ties, it being more at high elevations
and at places remote from the sea.

"Sir" and "Ma'ayu -

A question has arisen in Los An
geles concerning the proper form of
address inculcated in the public
schools. 1t seems that the children
there are taught to say ''sir" and
ma am" Some of the parents con-
slider this provincial" and think
that they should be taught to add the
name of the person addressed. But
the Los Angeles school teachers say
that children cannot remember the
names of many people, and it would
be impossible so to burden their
memories.
is the contention correct of those
parents who think that ''sir' and
ma am thus used is a provincial
usage? There can be no doubt that
this usage is found much more FREE
quently in rural districts than in cit
les. 1t is certainly very old usage.
1t is etiquette thus to address the
King and Queen of England. 1t is
not etiquette to address him as "Your
Majesty" but simply Sir Among
well-bred American men the habit of
using "sir" is not common, except in
addressing strangers, or possibly men
OF advanced age, or men for whom
great veneration is entertained.
Among equals the custom, in ordin-
airy conversation, does not exist. We.
speak more particularly of city.
jewellers. There can be no question
that the use of eyes" and mo- with
out any supplementary title is some-4
what curt, but there can be no ques-
ton also that among the educated
city jewellers of the United States the
custom of using "sir" and ina am,
has fallen into desuetude.-Sap

SpIint on Horses Legs.

Splint is an enlargement of the

ually on the inside, but it is some
times on the outside. They are quite
common on the forelegs; in fact,
nearly all horses that have seen much
service have them, but they OCCASION
ally come on the hind legs. The US
ual seat is between the cannon and
Inner splint bones. Sometimes they
attain the size of hens eggs, but usu-
ally are quite small. They generally
cause some lameness when growing,
but rarely do SO when hard. They
result from sprains, strains or bruises
Sometimes the splint comes on the
surface and then it does not cause
much lameness, but when it comes

Value of Dead Leaves.

According to tests recently made
in France, dead leaves possess a
higher value as fertilizer for the land
than ordinary manure. They are
extensively used by the market gar
deners about the city of Nantes.
Pear leaves rank next highest in nit
rogenous content, oak leaves come
next and the leaves of vines lowest
in value. Experiments have shown
that forty-four pounds Of pear leaves
eighty pounds of poplar leaves, fifty
one pounds of peach leaves, eighty
two pounds of elm leaves and eighty
three pounds of locust leaves are re-
spectively equivalent in heterogeneous
content to 100 pounds of ordinary
manure. Vine leaves alone are less
valuable than manure.
