ART OR

Anna Karenina and Sophie Bauer
schmidt were sitting on the curb-stone
IN front Of the Bauerschmidt saloon.
They were talking about Miss Lucy.
My sister," said Sophie, "seen Miss
Lucy and she says she's a swell"
Sophie's sister, creature of very
big pompadour that hung coquettishly
into one eye, worked at the beauty
counter OF department store and was
therefore the social oracle of the Bau-
erschmidt circle
There was an element of gloom in
Annals nature that discounted for her
all things pedagogical. "a SWELL"
she echoed disdainfu1ly, "she aind
even no lady. My mother says she
aind nothing bud a workingwoman.
Ladies never do no work. They jusd
sids all day und puds things on their
faces like my mother
well, anyhow" said Sophie, Miss
Luzy's got nice clothes"
"They aind so much" insisted
Anna; ''she aind god no silk peddicoad
und she never wears no beads"
But she's pretty, anyhow" said
Sophie
'Hod air." Anna scoffed "Why,

Its the STYLE" argued Sophie. "My
sister put stuff on her hair, and some
of it's red and the rest amt"
''Thad's like my mothers" Anna
agreed; ''but Miss Luzys is jusd all
red"
But it's curly" wavered Sophie;

"Aind you never nexd?" cried Anna,
angered at such denseness. Thad aind

''She puds it ub," said Anna, with

phie.
"Whadn you bed?" cried Anna.
"Nothun,'' said Sophie femininely.
You're afraid" Anna jeered. 81

the tainted Sophie.
"AlI right" said Anna; "jusd waid

of Sophie's company, she departed to
the more congenial pursuits of the
gang.
Two days later it rained. Miss Lucy,

Pumpkins with Corn.

1t has always been my practice to
plant pumpkin seed with my check
rowed corn. AS l always plant check
rowed corn with hand planter, and
as almost all of these planters are
equipped with a pumpkin seed attach
ment, the only expense of planting is
for the seed, which is not more than
Is or 20 cents an acre, says writer
in the Baltimore American. This
amount is sufficient for an acre. The
cultivation is done at the same time
as for corn, consequently the only ex'
pense of a crop of pumpkins is for
the seed. / find pumpkins available
as feed for COWS and hogs. For
hogs some farmers boil the pumpkins
in large kettle until thoroughly
cooked and mix with chopped feed
when cold. One of my neighbors

her bookcase where she kept a small
looking-glass carefully hidden beneath
a gilt-lettered Teachers Creed" The
principal had often noted and ap-
proved the cheerful and long-sustained
attention that Miss Lucy gave to her
Greed each morning.
However, that morning the inspec-
ton was short. The dampness had
1attened her fresh waist into a SLOW
emily, limp garment, and the end of
her nose was damp and coldly pink.
Being a mere feminine creature of
clothes, she slammed the bookcase
door and sitting down at her desk
looked gloomily and bitterly at the 60
members of Glass A. Owing to the
inciement weather Glass A was in an
unbecoming state of damp greasiness
and nature, in a vain attempt to give
a bath to her neglected children, had
only made matters worse.
Anna Karenina looked like a wet
fresh sausage and according to her
usual custom in rainy weather she
had taken off the blue hair ribbon
that was her sole garter, thus letting
both her stockings hang down over
her shoes. True, her legs felt cold,
but she had an idea that her stock
ings thus worn resembled the CATERS
that Miss Lucy sometimes donned.
Unlike Anna, whose morning ablu-
lions no pleading could extend farther
than the dainty wetting of finger tip
which was then cautiously applied to
the corner of each eye, Bum O,Reilly
every morning obligingly washed his
face in three-inch circle whose CEN
ter was his nose-an oasis of clean
illness i'll a desert of dirt. But, unfor-
tunately. he smelt like very strong
stogie. This odor united with the am
brosiaI perfume of stale beer that sur
rounded Sophie and the scent of coal
oil with which Josef Bureschy, whose
mother was vain, anOinted his too
sDarse couture. In the face of this
union Frederick William, whom Miss
Lucy had placed in the first and near
est seat. valiantly but vainly gave
forth his usual clean, soapy smell of
the laundry.
the nlany-scented incense of Glass A,
felt a depressing wane of her young
enthusiasm.
Just at this moment the half-closed
door opened and a young man peeped
shyly in. He was a timid-looking
young man with pale specialized eyes
and he carried q red copybook. Miss
Lucy, seeing the book, knew the
Young man to be the critic teacher.
This critic teacher was the dread
embassy of the training school under
whose kindly guidance still continued
such young and tender teachers as
Miss Lucy. And it was often found
that after a visit from this critic
teacher thsss same young and tender
teachers must perforce HE themselves
back to the school. there to study a
year longer

NOTES OF THE SHEEP.

The best wool sheep are not the
best mutton and lamb sheep and vice
versa.
1t does not pay to keep ewes more
than five years old, unless they have
proven wonderfully prolific.
No matter how much you are offer
ed for them, you can not afford to
sell your best eve lambs. Keep them
for your own flock.
Troughs for the sheep save lots Of
grain. Easy to nail two boards to-
gether in a V with a couple Of short
pieces across the ends to keep them
right side up.
It is one thing to raise stock and il
is another thing to market them
profitably. Be wise In breeding and
feeding, but be wise also as to mar
ket conditions.

Can it be pOssible?"
The young man bent over the beau
tiful girl whose slender hand he had
been holding, with all the astonish-
ment that the Importance Of her an
nouncement merited.
Yes she replied. 81 cannot de-
ceive you-indeed, l am proud of my
position. | am indeed suffragette,
glad to assure you that believe in
the freedom of woman, hitherto bound
by cruel letters to occupy secondary
place; but now about to throw off this
yoke"
He gazed at her thoughtfully.
How times have changed" he NUT
tered. "Why, when l was child a
woman's rights woman was a mascu-
line thing, who went about in bloom
ers. But now you are the very perfec-
ton of femininity. There is nothing
about you to suggest the aggressor."
She stopped him with an imperious
gesture.
"Eet us understand each other"
she said. Il retain, Of course, all the
desires and aspirations of a woman;
but with it l demand all the privileges
of a man-indeed, insist upon this.
1 must have my vested property rights,

"YOu insist?"

He clasped her in his arms.
Certainly, darling" he said. You
shall have all this, SO far as l am con-
cerned."
"You will treat me exactly as
mani"
Exactly as man."
She sank into his arms.
Then it is understood between US,

wise in the center and 2x6
edgewise at the back end in
bottom. A door was made of 2x6 in
front This door was swung with big
heavy gate hinges on this Axe at the
bottom. We had regular gate hinges.
They must be strong at this place.
In the front on one side another
piece of 2xS long enough to go across
the entrance was bolted with a sin
gle bolt and on the other side of the
upright 2x6 hole was bored in which
we put a piece of fork handle. This
lever was to catch the cattle by the
head when they came in and at
tempted to get through the shute or
get their heads stuck in front Now
the door I speak of should be boarded
up, not necessarily solid, with 2X6
about three feet high from the floor.
Understand this door falls down in
front when we get through dehorning

center of the top. We used a clevis
from the front of plew. 1t answered
the purpose first rate, but a common
hook made of one-half inch iron and
hooked right over the other 2x6 on top
is handy. This rigging made of this
kind of lumber held the widest of
steers After the beast would get it's
head through we would press down on
the lever. That would crowd his head
over to the side of the shute. Then
we put slip moose around his neck
and half hitched it on his nose, and
pulled his head around to the other
side of the rack in front He was per-
fectly solid. We used a common hand
saw with fine teeth. An ordinary meat
saw is as good as anything. After an

could not get back in case he did not
stick his head through right away and
this bar also prevented any of the 9th
er cattle following him through the
shute before you got the door up. Two
men can work big bunch of cattle in
a day with a shute of this kind. Make
your crosspieces on top Of 2x6 by
spiking them on sidewise.
We never had an animal hurt itself
nor did we ever have an animal break
the shute in any way. In this swinging
bar that you use to catch them on top,
a small bolt should be put through the
2x8 edgewise.

Employed by Chinese in Cure of Dis
ease-The Philosophers Stone
as 1t Was Then Understood.

Yu Tung Kwai, a Chinese delegate
to the chemistry congress, read an in
teresting paper before a section of the
assembly the other day on the chemi-
cal industry of China. Alchemy, he
said, was known in China at least
2,700 years before Christ, and China
still occupied an important position in
regard to the chemical industries of
the world
The principal object of the practice
of alchemy 4,600 years ago, he said,
was the cure of disease. Efforts were
also made to evolve a preparation
somewhat analogous to the philoso-
piers stone, the result attained being
known as gold pills.
Metallurgical work and dyeing were
known in China from time imme-
mortal, while the processes of making
gunpowder, paper, glass and porcelain
all originated in the same country,

Thrift in Sheep Raising.

There is one thing the farmer can
not afford to overlook in sheep rails
ing. and that is thrift. Thrift means
health, gain in quality, quantity and
productiveness, the elements out OF
which the profits are derived. 1t must
be the first object of the owner tn
keep his sheep in thriving condition.
The quality of the wool, as well as the
quantity, and the general productive
ness of the flock make this require
ment imperative.

that after many years of patient
searching of records, he had at last

with his Uncle Marshall, who was a
butcher. He went to school at a
house situated in Brentford High
street, now used as a clothier's shop.
Mr.. Turner showed the members of

Sheep for BREEDING.

Before starting in the breeding of
sheep the farmer should have a def
mite object in view and make a care
full selection of the foundation stock.
If it is intended to produce wool, the
merino should be chosen; if mutton is
the chief object, one of the larger
breeds would be best. If it is desired
to produce both wool and mutton a
iudicious cross-breed or grade may be
selected. But in any case the start
should be begun on small scale and
cautiously proceeded with, never for
getting that the ram is half of the
flock"

The management had instituted

the abolition of the pop and peanut
privileges, and the absence of these
refreshments was refreshing.
Another curious feature was the alb
clifton of the turn-stile, box being
provided for the faithful fans into
which they, presumably, slid their lit

agement figures that they save the sal

from personal observation, at least
half of the grand stand appeared to think
they were in the press-box. However,
the new plan obviates the necessity
of rain-checks and may have some
other commendable features.
In spite, however, of these novelties
and of Docs great work in the box,
the depressing lack of ginger among
the fans was the chief impression car
ried away by the visitor. When it was
all over there wasn't so much as a
cushion thrown. Doc made a quick
getaway to the shower-bath and the
fans rushed off the field. Even out
