Arm In Arm.

St. Louis Speetaier'e “Town Talker ’* says: “Itis a curiou* fact, bni nevertheless true, that you never see a lady and gentleman walking arm-in-arm in this city, except in coming from the theatre or late in the evening. Tn the daytime, if a lady should promenade, having hold of her escort’s arm, most people would turn their heads to look at the couple. In the Eastern cities such a sight is by no means so rare; yet even there the custom is very far from general. In European cities, on the contrary, it is the universal habit. Why is it that American damsels are so shy of clinging to a gentleman’s arm ? Probably it arises from her naturally self-reliant and independent nature. American girls do things which would Shock the sensibilities of their European sisters. More latitude is allowed them in their actions; their independence is fostered. To be hypermetaphorical, it may be the vine clinging to the oak ; but our American belle needs no support, and as the act of taking the arm implies per se the necessity of protection, it is averse to her ideas. Perhaps, too, it is thought to be a sign of ‘ spooniness.’ Whatever it is, the fact remains that our girls object to perambulating the streets in the glare of the sun with their arm through those of their escorts.” Now-s-days one involuntarily takes a couple arm-in-arm in the daytime to be provincial

The Purpose of Reading.

Every reader should know the purpose for which he reads. Usually this purpose is either rest, amusement, or what may be called improvement. A boy or girl, tired by work in the shop or house, takes up Hawthorne’s “Wonder Book,”—that is reading for rest. Fretted by low masks at school, one becomes absorbed in “Swiss Family Robinson - ’— that is reading for amusement. Eager to instruct the mind, you read Bancroft’s “History of the United States”— that is reading for improvement. The three purposes are frequently combined. One may find in reading Macaulay’s “Essay on Bacon,” rest, amusement, and improvement. Of these purposes that of improvement of mind and heart is most important. In all reading whose immediate aim is either recreation or pleasure, the (emote aim should be the formation of a noble character. No one should read a book without resolving to be aided by it Ip every right endeavor. The purpose for which one reads determines the choice of the book. If roti are in doubt what to read, form a plear idea of the reason of your reading, Shd the selection of a proper book Is made easy.— Morgantown Preu,

To Forget Misery.

Some great writer has written, “Ths way to forget our miseries is to remember our mercies.” That is splendid in theory, but it is the hardest thing in the worldly practice. When a person is pfiß’oc'lv m s-?rable, it is impossible to io’’get .t, and to go to work and try to thin); of some mercy that has been enjoye<; it another time, is simply im-po'-ible. Tim misery of the present knot-Ks ai! thoughts of the mercy of the past oat ol - the mind of the miserable per on, and in sery gets in its work. It is 'veil to try and cultivate that idea of for,jetting miseries, by remembering mere es, and mar be it will work a little, but most people w-bo try it will score a failure, and be more miserable than ever. The best way to forget miseries is to go fishing. If you get a bite you can forget the misery till you land the fish, and if you don’t get a bite you can’t be my more miserable unless ;on fall out •>f the boat. If you get lots of bitesit will be nip and tuck net-’-een' misery and fua.— Geonae Peck.

Still Larger.

An enterprising tobacconist in London, whose name was Far, advertised himself and his wares simultaneously by writing np in conspicious lettering over his store, “The best tobacco by Far.” A rival on the opposite side of the way not to be outdone, at once proclaimed the superiority of his stock by advertising, “ Far better tobacco than the best tobacco by Far.” This reminds the New York Afatf of ths 'story of the miner who, returning from the far West to civilisation, saw a sign up outside a show, “ The largest bear ip the world.” After paying his twenty-five cents and enjoying the sight, he riotieed another sign across the street, “Lfcger beer,” and at once returned and demanded his money back, on the ground that it had been extorted under false pretencefl, as there was a larger bear over the way.

The Watcher in Church.

His neck is fitted on a globe socket that turns clear around. He sees everything that goes on. The man that comes in late does not escape him and it is in vain for the tenor to think he got that little note to the alto conveyed between the leaves of the hym-book unobserved. The watcher saw it He sees the hole in the quarter that Elder Skinner dropped on the plate. He sees that Deacon Slowboy has but one cuff. If the door swings he looks around; if the window moves noiselessly he looks up. He sees the stranger in his neighbor’s pew, and he sees Brother Badman, sitting away back under the gallery, furtively take a chew of the inhibited fine out All things that nobody wants him to see the watcher sees. He so much that he has no time to listen.— R. J. Burdette.

AGRICULTURAL.

Onn school district in Maine, containing eighteen farms, received ovex SIO,OOO for apples last year. Investigation shows that of the fibex in hay and straw, from 40 to 60 per cent, is generally digested by ruminant animals. Corn is thought to grow better if ths rows run north and south, so that the sun will shine equally on each side ol the stalk. There are more than 200 breeders ol Short-horn cattle in Michigan, owning at least 4,000 cattle that are worth $1,000,000. Mr. H. C. Pearson, of Pitcairn, N. Y., grows eight bushels of seed from three-fourths of a pound of seed, having only twenty-nine eyes. The only paying sugar-beet manufactory in the country now is in Cab ifornia. It has done a paying business for three years, and shows no signs ol giving out. In Ireland the sod cut on boggy ground is piled up in heaps until dry, then burned into a species of charcoal. This is then pulverized and mixed with well-rotted stable or hen-house manure or night soil in equal proportions. Placed in drills where turnips or carrots are to be planted, it is said to make them attain a monstrous size. The experiment is worthy of a trial by farmers who can get the bog mold without too much labor or expense. Dr. Johnson, of Indiana, says: “In dairy pioducts we in the West, with our method of using five acres of highpriced land to keep one dairy animal a vear, can not compete with the intensified farming of the East, where they keep one animal a year on one acre of land, and that, too, of a natural fertility much inferior to ours, and, 4iore than that, where by means of *ilos and ensilage now they are keeping two animals to a single acre." Prof. Arnold says the points in favor of dairying are: First, a dairy farm costs 10 per cent, less to operate than grain-growing or mixed agriculture. Second, the annual returns average a little more than other branches. Thud, prices are nearer uniform and more reliable. Fourth, dairying exhausts the soil less. Fifth, it is more secure against ohanges in the season, since the dairyman does not suffer so much from wet, frost and varying seasons, and he can, if prudent, protect against drought. The hog, like the horse, has no extra stomach to store away food, therefore if fed but twice a day and what he will eat, he overloads his stomach, and if the food is not pushed beyond the point where it will digest, the stomach is filled so full that a considerable portion of the food fails to come in contact with the lining of the stomach, and thus a very large proportion of the nutriment in the food is lost. Experiments prove that a hog thus fed wastes more than one-half of the meal given him. We have no doubt the same is true of the horse, when fed large quantities of hay and grain, aud fed but twice a day.— Massachusetts Plowman. We do not say this hastily, but with the conviction derived from feeding late-cut timothy and bright oat straw. With four feed racks in your yard—twe well kept with timothy, one with prairie hay and one with bright oat straw—the latter was consumed first, and the others neglected until the last vestige ol the oat straw had disappeared. It was the instinctive act of the urchin *-'■ peated. He took his cake, pudding and pie first, and reluctantly finished oh his dinner on the drier and less-palata-ble bread and butter. Our late-cut hay was merely a “fill-up,” to give their digestive apparatus th* necessary distention so necessary to ruminants, and that is about all late-cnt hay is good for anyway. —Chicago Herald.
