SOME IRISH FAIRIES.

The Irish fairy is essentially a jCy-
! Gus, careless, playful being-a lover
OF pleasant places, smooth. round
| knobs, spreading hawthorne. white
moonlights, sweeping steeds, sweet
music and gay dances. writes Seumas
MacManus in Lippincott's Magazine.
There is marrying and giving in mar
| riage among them; sometimes they
even fall in love with handsome HUI
man beings. pretty maidenS and man
ly youths, and carry them off to be-
stow on them Immortality in their
blithesome company. BY eXtraordi-
nary human effCrts. the stolen youths
are sometimes won back to the nat
ural world and its ills again, but
this is rare
Sometimes a man or woman is bOr-
rOwed temporarily by the fairies
just fer the mischief of the thing;
the abducted one is usual whisked
off to strange foreign scenes, and. in
the course of few hours or one
night, whisked round half the world
and shown wonderful sights before
being left safe and sound or the same
spot, from which he or she was
snatched away.
There is one kind of fairy. and one
only, which. unlike the rest Of the
tribe, is not joyous; this is the Ban
shee. The Ranshee is little woman
dressed in white, with raven black
hair, which falls and flows loosely
around her She attaches herself
to the favored and ancient families.
anal only en- the eve of a disaster to
the family-usually a death-does she
disclose herself to human sense. On
all such occasions she is heard, but
far more rarely seen. She generally
sits upon a limb of a tree convenient
to the house for whose coming sad
fate she mourns. and lifts up her
voice three times in weird heartrend-
ing wall.
When the Banshee's cry is heard,
death follows certainly and soon. The
night watcher who hears it rises up
through the dead hours and prostrates
himself in prayer for the soul that
will SO soon depart. Fortunately. it
is not given to the dying enc to hear
this weird wall; sometimes only one
person hears it, at other times it is
heard by all except the fated enc,
and all arise from their beds, COM
ing together in terror to tell each
other what they have heard, to shake
their heads in sorrow and TO pray.

THE OLD PASTURES

Many of the old pastures of New
England are about done for as graz,

are cut grass growth is not restored

Her Changing Mind.

One afternoon not long ago a
Young woman stepped up to the tel
egraph counter in a local departm ent
score and i'll a trembling voice asked
for supply of blanks.
She wrote a message on one blank,
which she INN ediateiy tore in
halves; then a second message was
written out that was treated in the
same way; finally third was accom-
plished. and this she handed to the
operator with feverish request that
it be rushed"
When the message had gone on
the wire and the sender had departed
the operator read the other two for
her own amusement.
The first ran: "All at an end.
Have no wish to see you again"
The tenor of the second message
was: ''Do not write or try to see me
any more"
The third was to this effect: Come
at once. Take next train if possible.

LOC.'L PAPERS STRENGTH.
4 Good Cue Need Have No Fear OF
Outside Competition.

The local newspaper. if properly
conducted. can always dominate the
local field no matter how strong the
competition of outside newspapers
may be
The local newspaper that amounts
to anything cXpcnds the most Of its
energy in gathering and printing
home news, but its managers know
that while home news is of the great
est importance something else is re-
quired. The people want to be kept
informed in regard to what is going
on throughout the State and the
country. They may not care for
lengthy reports of distant events, but
they 90 want the important facts
Give them this news in condensed
form and they are content
The big city dailies cannot compete
with the local paper in its own field.
They are not in touch with the life
of the town. They cannot give the
proper perspective to the news. They
do not represent the place itself in
any way. They are outsiders who's.
interests are centered elsewhere
The local newspaper is a home in
stitut.on and its people take pride i'll
its career. It keeps them in touch
with the happenings of home folks
folks they know and see daily. Its
advertising columns are filled with
the announcements OF the merchants
with whom they do business. There
fore, they want and need il above all
other publications.
If the manager OF the local news
paper knows his business and gives
his readers the kind of news they re-
Cuire. he need have no fear OF COM
petition from outside newspapers. no
matter how large and strong they
may be. It is only when he goes to
sleep on the job that danger threat.

REA RING IN HORSES.

Rearing is one OF the worst kinds
OF vices 10 which a horse used for
saddle purposes can be addicted. it
being not only very troublesome, but
also highly dangerous to the rider,
since there is always the risk of the
animal overbalancing himself and
falling Backwards Fortunately, the
vice is not of very frequent occur
ance, but il may be rather easily de-
velOped in a young. unmade horse
through bad breaking Of poor horse
manship, which two things are gen
orally the causes to which the vice
is due. Once it is firmly established,
it is most difficult and more often
than not impos sibie to break the horse

horse is found to be at all inclined
to rear. the greatest care should be
taken to avoid all occasion Of encOur.
aging ii to indulge in its rearing pro-
pensities by improper methods OF
management or by the use of too
sharp a bit. The young animal mus.
be very carefully handled, and, above
all. lightly bitted while it is being
broken in and until it has acquired
the good manners which properly
broken saddle-hOrse should possess.
The vice of rearing when it does oc-
cur, is met with practically only in
geldings; mares are not given to rear
ing excepting in very rare instances.
Stations, of course. very commonly
possess great rearing pro0ensities,
but we are not speaking of them here,
as they are not used for riding pur-
poses. In dealing with a horse that
is addicted to rearing, the use Of a
standing martingale is to be recon-
mended This must be fairly short,
and may be buckled either t. the
nose-band-if one is used-or to the
rings of the snaffle Cor Of the bridCOn

the horses head is kept down. and
that to large extent prevents the
animal from rearing, since, in order
to rear. it is necessary for the hcrse
TO extend its neck and get up its
head. When recourse is had to
standing nartingale. this must not
at first be made too short. but should
be put en- rather long. as. when a
horse is not used to wearing one. con-
siderable trouble may easily ensue
if the martingale is made very short
to begin with When the horse has
got used to wearing this kind of gear
it can be shortened to the required
extent. A running martingale-which
is the kind generally used-is not
nearly so efficacious in preventing
rearing as a standing one. but if il
is used very short, it is of some help
in checking the habit-Farm and

FINISHING STEERS IN SUMNER

If steers have been roughened
through the winter It would be i'm
possible to get them on feed and fin
lsh for early summer market. Such
cattle should be placed On good pas
ture and will make coed and cheap
gains through the pasture season
without grain As the pastures be-
gin to fail in the fall, supplementary
feeding should begin, using the new
corn crop. the whole plant being fed
They may be gradually worked I'D to
full feed and finished in the dry loI
for the early winter market.
Cattle which have received from
half to three-quarters of full grain
ration through the winter season. can
not usually be turned to pasture as
profitably as these carried through the
winter on a lighter and cheaper "a
ton A start has been made toward
fattening, and it will be lost if they
are placed on pasture. The gains
steers will have the extra cost of
the previous winters feeding hang
ing over them.
For the summer markets cattle will
necessarily be finished in the dry
lot. In some cases it is more profit
able to feed on grass. Where alfalfa
hay Is available for roughage. no pro-
TEN concentrates will be required.
The use of corn or kaffir corn slower
or prairie hay will lessen the cost
of the ration during this full feeding
period If the corn can be ground
cheaply. good results may be obtained
by feeding it in the form of corn
and cob meal, adding clear corn mea!
as the feeding period progresses.
This method of feeding the grain
will shorten the time necessary to
finish the cattle. and necessitates few
err hogs to save the waste than where
ear corn is fed. Where alfalfa or
clover hay is not available as at least
part of the rOughage ration. it will
be necessary to feed at least ten per
cent. Of the grain ration in the form
of oil meal or cotton seed meal.
The cattle should have an album
dant supply of fresh. clean water,
have salt before them at all times;
great regularity should be practicea
in the hours Of feeding, and the feed
