A young lawyer, not noted for intel

acquitted of murder. Meeting friend

greeted with warm congratulations.
"Yes," said the lawyer, niopping his
brow, II got him off, but 1t was a mar
row escape" A narrow escape! How?"
Ah, the tightest squeeze you ever saw.
You know I examined the witnesses
and made the argument myself, the plea
being self-defense. The jury was out
two whole days. Finally the Judge
called them before him and asked wha,
the trouble was.
Only one thing, replied the fore
man. Was prisoners counsel retained
by him or appointed by the court?'
No, gentlemen, the prisoner is
man of means,' said the Judge, and en-
gagged his own COUNSEL
II could not see what bearing the

tinued the lawyer, "but ten minutes
later in flied the jury, and what do you
think the verdict VASE"
"What?" asked his friend.

horses for they have more lung capaci-

raising horses which cannot be equal

from all parts Of the country and we

steeds of all sorts are being breed here.

The power of habit is recognized in
every sphere of human action. A bad
habit may enchain man hopelessly,
good habit may be as lasting az life
and character; but the power of the
gospel can demolish habits as an ex-
plosion can wipe out city block. The
human will is the mightiest part of a
man. God himself will not destroy or
compel that will within the sphere of
personal choice. It can stand up be-
fore Sinai and Calvary, before death
and eternity, in stolid defiance, Or it
can, by self-assertion, ally itself with
the will of the Almighty.-Rey. Isaac

Breaking The Heifer.

Not infrequently we hear farmers,
in talking about getting their stock
into new quarters, make such re-
marks as: ut takes good deal of
prodding with the pitcbfork to get
them all to their places in the fall. "
or, cit took the hired man, the boys,
the dogs and myself all to put that
red heifer in the stable, and three of
US to tie her after we'd knocked her
down a time or two" When these
things exist civilization is only in it's
infancy, and it is gratifying to note
that such methods are few and far
between.
Intelligent dairymen have long
since learned-even they who may be
devoid Of any finer sentiment-that
nothing but gentleness pays. Break
ing the heifer is best begun while she
ia fed on milk. She can be taught to
lead, to stand tied in her stall and to
back her foot as for milking. These
are the main essentials We also
teach our cattle at this period to open
their eyelids, their mouths and to
lift their feet for examination. We
have often removed chat from their
eyes quite easily by having them thus
previously trained and save them
considerable suffering and possibly
the loss of an eye. Pieces Of food,
such as pumpkin and roots, can be
removed, from the jaws and throat if
the animal has been trained to being
handled while young. What COW
has once learned she retains, even
with semi-Yearly practice, If guided
by kindness.
Every time a mich COW is excited
her owner is the loser, not only for
that milking, but she is not apt to re-
gain her former flow until coming
fresh again. Then the milk retained
by the COW is the better part, usually
called strippings. Besides, the milk
she gives is not fit for human food.
Horsemen coming In with teams from
overwork never allow the colt to feed
from the dam until she has cooled
down to blood heat, and yet cattle
are driven in by the dogs and under
the lash until they are unduly excit-
ed and overheated, the milk to be
used as human food, with what re-
suits it is difficult to estimate. The
proper training of a heifer should be-
gin in it's earliest calf. hood, and while
youngsters are often very provoking
in their stubborn way of refusing milk
in a pail and the like. it always pays
to be gentle with them, and it is this
lack of consideration that has filed
our Western land with so many bron-
cho COWS.

Curiositles Of Coffee.

Coffee, as experts are aware, has a
very extraordinary property. 1t is
one of the most absorbent matters in
existence. Coffee beans placed in a
damp room swell and absorb moisture
till they nearly double their weight.
Here is the chance of the dishonest
grocer. Not content with the amount
Of profit made upon coffee, he places
pals of water in a room with piles OF
uncovered coffee beans, and by swell.
ing the coffee adds something like so
per cent to his profits. The favor is
ruined, but that does not matter to
him. So absorbent is coffee, not only
of moisture, but of gases and fsvors,
that shippers of Brazilian coffee al
ways stipulate that the sacks of fresh
Rio beans shall never be carried on a
steamer which has raw hides as any
part Of her cargo. These will faint
the coffee more surely than anything
else and render it unfit for use. The
useful side of this quality of coffee is
that in a sickroom handful or two
of fresh roasted and ground beans act
Sc an excellent purifier and deodorizsr.
