BATHING 4 Prince.

George Nv. while prince and residing
In his Brighton palace kept in his bed
room a portrait Of Mrs. Gum, an old
bathing woman who used to dip him
into the sea when he was the little
Prince of Wales. A picture book much
priced by children showed the old lady
bathing the little fellow. Beneath the
picture was this stanza:
To Brighton came he,
Came George the Thirds son.
To be dipped In the sea
BY tho famed Martha Gum.
A companion portrait to Martha
Gums was that Of Thomas Sneaker,
who had charge Of the horse which

out of the sea. One day the little roy.

Senate and Lords.

The British house of lords is sur
vival OF the ancient aristocracy Of the
kingdom, which for long time was
supreme in all national matters. When
the democratic sentiment won a place
for itself in the shape of the house Of
commons the natural and apparently
indestructible conservatism Of the Brit
ish people held on to the house Of lords
as a check upon the commons and a
perpetual reminder of the ancient insti-
tuition. The senate of the United States
was the result Of the compromise
struck between the Nationalists and
States Rights parties in the convention
that formed the constitution. Some
were for merging the representatives
in single body, while others insisted
upon the second chamber (the senate)
as recognition of the political equality
of the states.

An insurance expert was relating In
Chicago some oddities Of insurance.
"And then" said the expert, there
was that case Of the general store man
In Ohio. This mans store burned
down, and. because his stock was so
heavy, the company disputed his claim.
I remember one item in his stock list
1850 mourning hatbands. When
came to this item thumped it with
my pencil and said to the storekeeper
severely:
"'Look here, this is unreasonable.
Why should you have had 1880
mourning hatbands in stock? What
possibility was there that death would
create in single small shop like yours
a demand for 1880 mourning hat
bands"
''The storekeeper smiled at me in a
condescending way and replied:
81 didn't keep those hatbands for
men who grieved for the death Of rela-
lives or friends. but for men who went
into mourning for the grease on their
hats "-Boston Globe.

During the warm, summer-l1ke days

A large part of the responsibility for
attractiveness lies with the individual.

Get Trade by ADVERTISING.

The best way in which the merchants
in the towns and smaller cities can
fight the mail order houses is to adyer-
tise. They know most of their patrons
personally. can show them the goods
before they buy them. have many other
advantages over the mail order house
and in almost every instance can sell
just as cheap if not cheaper, remarks
the Buckeye Ohio) Informer
If the home merchant lacks foresight
and is too penurious to properly adver-
tise his goods. why should the publish
er exert himself to keep the trade at
home for him? If solicitations on the
part of the publisher fail to educate
the merchant to the fact that he must
advertise if he wants to keep up with
the procession, then nothing is left to
the merchant but to learn in the school
of experience, and if the teachings of
that renowned school are of no effect
on him then there is no place for him,
and eventually his place In the COM
mercial world will be taken up by
some more enterprising competitor.

How CHICAGO Cleaned LIN.

Chicago's general cleanup day this
year, according to the reports, was
big success. The cleaning Of the va
cant lots of the city was assigned to
the school children, and they went at
the job with y1gor and enthusiasm.
When school adjourned at $50 o. M
they were provided by the janitors of
the various schools with the necessary
tools. and within an hour the fruits of
their labors were to be seen In huge
piles OF waste paper. tin cans, old
shoes and miscellaneous refuse.

HEAD OF AN OHIO BABY BEEF HERD.
a hundred weight can be added then al
less than half the cost of the same
gain on the same animal at maturity,
writes J. Hugh Mckinney in Farm
and Fireside. For the first two weeks
each calf should have quart OF whole
milk three times day, care being
taken to feed it at blood temperature.
During the next three weeks half
quart of skimmilk should be added to
the whole milk at each meal. When
the calf is five weeks old it should be
SO developed that feeding twice day
will be sufficient, also dispensing with
the whole milk and giving about three
quarts of skimmilk twice day.
TO supplement the loss of butter fat
In milk a small amount of flaxseed
meal is used. 1t may be prepared IN
the proportion of cupful of meal to
one and one-half quarts of water put
into common stove kettle and kept at
a temperature just below boiling for
three or four hours, which reduces the
meal to kind Of jelly. This is mixed
with the skimmilk at the rate Of about
a tablespoonful to pound Of milk and
may be gradually Increased up to
cupful when the calf is three months
old. BY this time the stomach will be
other food, and he should be taught
to eat little bran. oats, clover or any
other dainty that he can be persuaded
to consume.
The second summer is perhaps the
most critical period in the life Of an
animal intended for early beef. While
experience has shown that there is
very little difference in feeding inside
or outside. so far as gain in live weight
is concerned. the latter method will
prove the less expensive. When fed
inside it is absolutely necessary that
the ration consist Of certain proper
ton of green feed. To certain extent
ensilage will answer this purpose, but
does not seem to have the same flesh
producing effect as the green grass.
OF all the grass mixtures with which
the writer is familiar oats and vetches
with little clover or alfalfa hay are
the most suitable. All things consid-
cred, however, it is preferable to turn
them out about the first of June, being
careful to keep them on good pasture,
supplementing it with a small quantity
Of meal.
In September they should be grad
ually accustomed to stable conditions
by taking them off the grass part Of
the time, especially with the occur
renee of frosty nights. and given feed
Of silage and clover hay in addition to
the grass and meal. In October they
should be put on a regular ration.
Steers that have been fed properly up
to eighteen or twenty months OF age
should be getting about one-half pound
Of meal per hundred pounds Of weight
and gradually increased, so that when
they are sold they will be getting near
ly pound of meal to hundred pounds
