An Honest Boy Rewarded.

Honesty is appreciated-even among
politicians. During a recent political
convention in North Carolina news
boy named Cicero Alexander sold q
paper to a delegate who gave him a
dollar and was to wait for his change.
The boy on returning, could not find
his customer and began to cry. The
chairman of the convention, impressed
by his honesty, announced the matter
before the whole assemblage-the re-
suit being not only that the man who
had the change coming to him let the
boy have 1t, but a collection of s19.35
was taken up for him by the dele
gates. Some one shouted that the
youngster should be made State treas
urer, and by unanimous vote the con-
vention recommended him for chief
page in the Legislature.

One Of the most desirable kinds OF
roughage to be found Is that obtained
by going through the cornfield about
fodder-cutting time and cutting the
stalks off just about where the shank
joins them, punching and tying to
rether the tops thus secured. the same
in ordinary shocking.
This method not only affords the ten
-est and very choicest of the pla
II fodder, but also leaves the ear
plainly exposed to view. where they
may be easily reached and promptly
husked without the husker being both
cred by the Blades and tops OF the
corn. Then. too, there will be no
husking out to be done before the
fodder is ready to be fed.
Another commendable feature OF
this plan is the great amount of labor
saved by not carrying the ears of corn
and the long, heavy stalks-nothlng
being touched except the light tops
which are easy to cut and carry, quict
y and easily thrown out when f

RIackhead.

Blackhead was first noticed in New
England, where it caused great loss to
turkey raisers. 1t is described as a
disease which first attacks the cecum.
situated between the large and small
intesrines. 1t may also attack the
liver, which becomes very much en-
larged. While the disease Is generally
attributed to microbes, it is believed
to be very much aggravated where in
breeding is too much resorted to.
Diarrhea is a common symptom. The
disease takes its name from a peculiar
discoioration of the head. Birds of
depleted vitality are the ones general.
ly attacked. so that addition of new.
strong. and healthy stock is recon-
mended. Some have tried introducing
wild blood into their fiocks. Treat
ment of sick birds has not proven very
successful. Among the remedies most
recommended are sulphur. sulphate of
iron and quinine. Sulphur may be
given Ave to ten grains being combined
with one grain of sulphate of iron,
and sulphate of quinine one grain. 1t
is necessary that such treatment be re-
peated two or three times a day and
contisued for considerable time to Sc
cure results.-Inter Ocean.

The Disappearing Wife.

A woman in Silesia has been hailed
persisted in growing thin in opposition
to his wishes. In his petition for a
divorce the Silesian gentleman de-
clared that the lady obtained her hus-
band under false pretenses, for when
he married her she was full sized and
Of ample and generous proportions and
he had every reason to believe that
she would remain so. When slimness
became the fashion, however, she sud-
denly began fading away in order to
wear the latest style Of empire gown.
She rode horseback three hours each
morning, played tennis two hours, and
then took long, fat-reducing walks.
Complainant further AYERS that she ate
like bird. How successful was this
strenuous pursuit of slenderness may
be judged from the fact that in three
months time she had lost thirty-one
pounds and a portly husband.
For the hard-hearted Silesian judge
granted the captious husbands plea for
a divorce and delivered fiery attack
upon the prevailing styles in feminine
architecture. He laid down the prin-

In his Memoirs of Eighty Years,
DR.. Gordon Hake, who was a nephew
OF Gen. Charles Gordon, tells how he
won the appreciation of his uncle, later
celebrated as the hero of Khartum.
1t was by a boyish feat which he
, learned In his school days. Most boys
feel vaulting ambition at that age,
but too few OF them in later years full
FL Its aims.
I may mention here, in ticking leave
of my boyhood, that there was bath
at Islington called Peerless Pool, TO
which in summer the boys of the
school were sent to battle.
II was a large mass of water, oblong
in shape, with a wide promenade.
There we would spend a whole after
noon, sent there by the authorities
when the half-holiday was at hand.
There. to excite the wonder and ap-
plause Of the other boys, I punished
myself by taking the longest run to
the waters edge that was obtainable
within the enclosure, and by leaping
somersault-fashion into the air to a
great height and reaching the water
In a seated posture.
In doing this 1 inflicted on myself
a punishment equal to that of being
flogged.

down to the Thames to lathe.

the soldiers to jump from into the
water. This afforded me a long run
and resolved on performing my feat
My uncle was perfectly surprised at
IL, and often alluded to it with sur.
prise in later years. After this display
of my pluck, he was much in favor OF
my going into the army.
