A SIGHT OF AD VENTURE. In the spring ol the year 1877, when the Russians were pushing their viotorious forces towards the cjty-of their conquered foe, and England was waiting, apprehensive of the result, I had the fortune to be attached to a depot battery of garrison artillery in the Southern District. At that time there was a great scarcity of subalterns in the Royafc Regiment, and I found myself the only officer of that rank in a battery of recruits some two hundred strong;. As may be imagined, I had quite as much work on my hands as I cared for. It was with mingled feelings that I -heard the news that Lord Beaconsfield had determined on calling out the Be- \ serves. On the one hand the act seemed prophetic of imminent war, with all the chances of promotion and distinction that such a prospect opens to the soldier; while on the other there was the immediate certainty pf plenty of additional hard work, and of ending trouble with men just transferred from their toivil occupations to the stirring life of the army. On the whole, however, 1 think I rather enjoyed the excitement offered by the change. One morning I was called into the Colonel’s office, informed that a large detachment of the reserve was to join my battery from Wales, and that I was to proceed thither immediately with a trustworthy Sergeant and bring them to the depot. The Colonel aid net scruple to tell me that he would not ■ • have intrusted so difficult a task to an oflfccr with as little sxoerienue and length of service as myself had he had any other to send; but as there was no one available, he must make a virtue of necessity, and hoped I would prove worthy of the,contidence reposed in me. At the same nme, he gave me to understand that, once the men were in my charge, I should.be held responsible for any who managed to desert or otherwise absent themselves on the journey. 1 I always disliked responsibility, and had, moreover, an idea—whether well or ill founded I shall not pause to coneider—that the small pay of a subaltern was not intended to cover any duties of great importance, but was merely an income drawn for the performance of certain fixed pieces of routine, such visiting guards, going round to inspec the inon’s dinners, and so on." I cai not, therefore, say that I at all relishei the order I had just received, especial!' since I could very well realize the difli culty of conveying forty rude'Welsl .miners so long a distance through : country unknown to them. I onl’ stipulated, however, that the Sergean who was'to be my companion should ti« a man 1 knew and could trust, and wh< could talk Welsh on occasion. Fortu nately, just such a one as I needed wm available, and we started on our jour ney determined to make the best of it ' I do not intend here to give an ae count of the manner in which I carrier out my mission, though, indeed, somi of the incidents were amusing enough I was compelled perforce to stay longe .than I had intended in Wales, galherit < my men together, and on the mornini jof our final departure half the popuki A-on of the country seemed to be col dec ted together to see us off. Had thew (been the least unwillingness on the par of ; the new recruits to join, I shook i have been quite unable to muster then among the crowds that attonded; bu both they and their relatives were onlh Aoo willing to serve her Majesty and drink hernealth. Man after man w carried aloft by his admiring frient ■dead drank, and thrust into the riage's anywhere and anyhow, till i number was complete, and the amns engine driver could at length start ] tram. Of the whole party, I think tl myself, my Sergeant and a single to Alwtainsr, who happened to be the si ‘one of my men who could speak a wo of English, were the only persons sob I kept my charges well supplied wi liquor, in defiance of all precedent, ci ried them from Enston to Lond •Bridge in a couple of omnibuses, a had them all safely housed in barrac before they well knew they had start* I fear some of them must have felt ve all the day after, but that, of course could nqt help. But the adventure I am about to l late had little to do with my reser men. It took place on the second nig af ter my arrival in Wales. My Serges Slid I had taken up quarters in s lit! ©ut-of-the-wav village on the coast, li fax from the Menai Straits. For ma reasons I do not care to give its nan We had arrived there late in the eve ing, as darkness was drawing on, ai Snse of my companions knowledge i language, had found out the po tiop of the only place ot entertainme that was available—a little inn situ:: eil at some distance from the town, was struck, on approaching it, by t wild and picturesque beauty of the ! cality. It was perched on the top a high cliff, which seemed almost overhang the sea below; and, betwc the door and the verge of theperp* dicular descent, unguarded by fence rail, nothing intervened bnt a patch grass, blackened and withered bv 1 spray cast up by the westerly gales Hie equinox, and not more than Joi yards wide. Why the builder shot have selected such a spot was not« to say. Perhaps be was a --—j of the frinpf| them k&riQo&iz6 foi# own pool, It looked

BIS for some terrible scene od!_ murder and violence, such as s> of the landlord, as be came to the doe r to welcome ns, seemed a quieli, gord-cuit-tired looking man. He showed mi to our rooms, and served our sapper in a lofty chamber whose windows locked out upon the sen, that already begaat to moan through the rocky caves ftnd passes with the restless motion diat foretells a rising storm. After supper my* Sergeant strolled down to the village to see his men and arrange about getting them together in the morning; and the landlord, with whom he had struck up an acmsSntanee, aocomptnied him toshowhim the }>ersons he required. Before leav ing! the rouse he said something to my comrade in Welsh. *T “He says, sir” said the Sergeant, saluting, “that hti hopes yon won't; mind lining left alone in the house for. an hour or two. No one will intrude upon you. There is one other gen tfeif tan ^topping here, but he is out now and most likely won’t be back tHl morning. Me is a man who goes about witft a hammer collecting bits of ruck.’' f 'Ah, a geologist,” I replied. “No, I have no objection to be left alone, would come down to the village w you, but that I ;>m tired, anti I t bin just smoke a pipe and go to bt will This message being duly transit to my host ho made me a bow a id the two started off, shutting the doo:: sifter them. I lit my pipe and made my self comfortable with a couple of chi link by t he fire. There is no more sleepy; occupation than matching tobacco smoke curling upward; , and fsoon fell intb doze. 1 do not know bow long 1 a had in slept when I was awakened by a sti;. the room and saw at once that the “other gentleman” had returned sooner than he was expected, and was now retarding mo with some interest. I He was a man of about thirl y-iive. tall and well-made, dressed in a * thick f rieze suit, with a belt of this san e tnahiuid terial round the waist In his were a bag of fossils and rock mens and a geol ogist’s hammer. These he laid on the table, and then can le over and shook hands with me. “ I did not expect to meet a gentleman in this “out-of-the-way place,’’{ he said. *• No one comes here unlesis it be to follow sueh pursuits as mine, or f rom a love of seeing Nature unspoil ed! by man’s handiwork.” I was glad of some company, a ad told him '.what had brought me there. He set my mind somewhat at ease) by saying that, from what he had seen ol the people, he thought - my task would be simple enough; and then we drifted into an interesting conversation. | He was, I found, a clever, well-read man, and we got on excellently together, but; I noticed now and then an anxiont: watching expression in biis eyes I for which I could not account. I was hot. however, much of a judge of piiysiog noniy, and did not trouble myself with theories on the subject. As we were talking the moan oil the sea grew louder and louder, and at length came a sudden dash of wind lani against the windows. The gal ram was beginning in earnest. What followed 1 can scarcely expect my readers to believe, and indeed, looking back on it n ow as I sit in ny rosy quarters, with the lamp burning rrighiIv on the table, I could almost tlunk that I had been the victim of some tirrlble hallucination; but it was real one ugh to me that night. After the first impetuous gust of; tha storm there came a pause of sti lliies;:, and in the unnatural tension of i thu nerves that one feels in such an interred of expectanoy I heard, as clearly as eve r I heard anything in my life, a woman's voice outside the window crying ‘ wailing tone: ‘O, Jack, Jack!” in a “ She will be blown over the cliff!” I cried.. “What can she (redoing there? ’ and I rose to open the door. My companion did not answer r word. I glanced at him and saw that, his face, lips and all, had paled to a ghastly whiteness. His eyes were fixed upon the windovj with an expressio n of such deadly fear as I hope I may never see again. It was useless to expect help item him, so, mentally setting him down as an arrant coward, I ran to the hous e door and opened it, intending to let in the wayfarer whose voice I had he an!. As I raised the latch the wind ru shed in with impetuous violence and nc arly tore the door tom my hand. A bold elash of mingled spray and tain struck me full in the face. “Come in whoever you are,’ 1 cried. “1 can’t hold the door impatiently, open all nfght. There was no answer. I steppe il outside and looked around. There was; a full moon that nigh t, and though the clouds were thick there was a glimmer of light sufficient to see any object within a few yards’ distance. There was a phosphorescent luster on the sea that gleamed brightly now and then as! the waves broke cut on the rocks, and a frightened sea bird almost brushed my feme as it flew past But of the w oman I expected to see there was no trace whatever. Puzzled and irritated I walked round have the house to see where she could gone. At the hack of the building the re was a broad, open field, without any trees or shrubs that could serve as a hiding-place. It seemed impossible that any one could have crossed it and got out of sight during, the fevr moments that had elapsed ’ since I heard the cry; nevertheless, such had evidently been the case, for there was no i one therl. 1 went in again and closed the door, determined to think twice before 1 went to the trouble of opening it again, • whoever might demand admittance. My companion was sitting just as i left him, with the same look on his face. I spoke to him twice, but received ■■b >o answer. Fearing he might be in a fit 1 went over to him and raised his aim. Ikfelt stiff and unnatural. 1 went to the table for some water, intending to dash it in his face and rouse him if poiidble. Hardly had 1 made a step forward when the same voioe I had heard before sounded once more from without. This time there was no mistaking the intal.se agony of the tone. I had never heard anything in the least like it and it rooted me to the spot where I stood. The words it spoke were, “Come, come. come!” three times repeated. To my great surprise, the man ]* had believed m a dangerous fit rose and moved toward the door. I can sca rcely describe the Way in which he walked. It was as though his whole nature was striving to prevent the action, and vet some stronger power compiled him to advance. I saw him raise the latch of) the outer door and then I followed him to see what would ensue. I never even thought of speaking to him; I could feel that; were I to do so he would not hear. The storm had reached tits height as we Heft the house. The spray was driving in clouds across the little patch of grass, and now and then a piece of white foam, blown up from the i tec thus ing caldron below, would flypnt into the darkness beyond. The man made but one step from the doorway and stood still, with his eyes fixed on the sea. He s seined entirely insensible to tlhe war of the elements and to the dash of the rain in his face- Something beyond out word sensations had absorted all his lacnlties for the tim » being. We stood thus a moment and then coming now from the ocean itself or the air above it, sounded those turds again, “Come, come, come!” Mj companion made another step or straight onwards. “Are you madP” I cried, as I s n it. him in my u id you will be i »re you going? * two er

me no more than if I hai „ a phantom of the tempest of a being of flesh ami blood. , I that I'had no power tores train him, *o I shifted my liold and ci.ught hfti round the knees. We fell together on the ground at the very veige of the precipice. Then began a terrible straggle, fie fought with the strength of a mad mat, I with the desperation of a man who contends for his life. The storm howled about us, and the whole air seemed full of mocking voices, shrieks ami laugl - ter. Slowly but surely he was draggin >. me to the edge. I would gladly have released him now to save myself, but he would not loose his- hold. Soon I felt over the was too e» that he had got himself hall cliff, and I knew that 1 vi hausted to hold on much longer. Nearer and nearer I came to the fatal spot. I gave myself up for lost, and tried my best to frame a prayer. At least, I thought, if I die, it is in a good cause. Suddenly a strong hand caught me by the collar and drew me violently back. The wretched man lost his dutch of me and fell. A long shriek came up from below and mingled with the exulting shriek of the wind. 1 was borne into the houss and laid on a conoh. I am not given to fainting, but it was some moments before my nerves could recover the chock they IfMbnceiyed. At length I looked about WsHrvnv my Sergeant, the landlord, and another well-dressed m an whose face I did not know. “Well, sir,” the Sergeant was saying to the latter, “youc work seems to have been taken out of your bands to-night. We wore only just in time!” “Only just in time, indeed!” was the answer. “Now, sir, I see you are yourself again; and I must ask you to toll me how the scene came about that we were fortunate enough to interfere in. I am a police officer trom Bow street.” As well as I could, I told him all that had occurred. He heard me to the end quietly, and the Sergeant, meanwhile, at; the earnest request of the landlord, translated the story into \YeIsh as. J went on. When 1 had fmisl ed the detective shook his head. __J “I see I must make up the best tale I can for my superiors, he said. .“No offense to you, sir; but they wouldn’t believe a word of what you have just been telling mo. I can’t say just what 1 think about it myself; I never heard of such a case before. Why, he must have gone quite mad! I knew be was very fond of £he woman, and: X thought something of the kind was likely; nut what you told me you heard is beyond me, I confess. Had you known anything of the murder, sir?” !.' * . “No,” said 1; “surely yon don’t mean to tell me that that mao was a murderer?” “He was, indeed, sir, arid I came here to-night to arrest him. He had evaded us all for the last week; but yesterday I got a clew as to where he •had gone, and follcwed him. down. I got your Sergeant here to act inter- ? refer for me with the landlord, when met them both in the village, and from what he said 1 knew that his ‘quiet gentlemen who collected bits of rock ’ was the man I was after; #>o I came on here at once, and you know the rest It was lucky for you that we did not enter the house by the back way. Five minutes more would have done for you, sir!” “ They would, indeed,” I answered, shuddering a little at the recollection. “But who, then, did ho murder?’’ "" “His own wife, sir; a woman from all accounts as fond of him as she could be. Some one I have yet to find, forged a letter that made him think she had ceased to cart) for him. I fancy he was always subject to fits of madness; anyhow, no one knows exactly how it happened, but she was found dead in her bed, with the marks of fingers on her. throat, arid he had disappeared, taking with Mm all the loose money he baa in tbo house. He had a good BOm lying in the bank, which he could have* withdrawn at any time by writing a check, and his not having done so is a proof to ine that he had not premeditated the murder. I daresay the temptation camb to him all on a sudden—it usually does,; I have observed. Anyhow, he is dead now, poor gentleman, and may God have mercy on his soul!” “Amen!” I answered. That is .the story of -my night of adventure. I have often thought over what appears the supernatural part of it sinco, but without much effect. The only theory I can frame to account for it is the somewhat lame one that the hallucinations of my mad companion were- so powerful that his mind had succeeded in impressing them upon my own, as the mesmerizer caa force an idea upon his patient. I confess I am not myself satisfied with such an exElanation; but if any of my readers ave not a better one ready they must take it for the true one.—London Society.

Didn’t Want Any Mistake Made. At noon a girl about nineteen years old, and wearing a somewhat faded costume, came up to the delivery window of the post-office, threw down a lettes and said to the clerk: - ' ! “Is that air stamp all squee-gee?” “Yes, it seems to be all right.’’ ' “An’ is the address writ sb’s thar kin be no show of its giltin’ off.’n the trail, an’ monkeyin’ all ’round the country afore it gits to whar it’s addressed?’’ “Oh, I guess so. The mail boys can manage to——” “I don't want no guess work about it, for that’s a matter o’ life an’ -death. If that letter’ll go straight, say so, an’ if it won’t, just unlimber your tongue an’give me square music.’’ t “f 1^ guarantee that it will find the person to whom it is addressed, ” said the clerk, who had deciphered the hieroglyphics on the envelope. Then that’s all right; but if it don’t git thar on time Til have you took up fur murder. That letter’s far my feller back in Illinoy, an’ he writ that if I wouldn’t marry him right off he’d kill hisself, an’ I’ve writ back that he kin come on un’ double up jest as soon as wants ter. If that letter don’t git thar straight, Jim’s jest fool enough to swaller a dose of pizen or somethin’, an’ mind, young man, that you are liable to be pulled any minute for murder if be does. My name’s Roda Lumly, an’ anybody that knows the Lumlys ’ll tell you that we’re not to be fooled with when human life’s at stake.-’ And she shook a warning finger at the clerk and walked out_LeadvilU (Col.)

—While a handsome but not particularly shrewd young man of Portland, Me., was sitting with a charming but cunning young woman oil the same town, she said: “Who are you going to marry?” “You,” he saicl, jokingly. “Really P" “Yes.” “Shake hand?on it,” the business-like maiden demanded. The young man did so, thinking it the most amusing incident he had ever borate a part in. The young lady, however, told her father that Mr. Blank and she were engaged. The young man was immediately waited upon by the interested parent, and has decided to marry the girl rather than stand a threatened suit for breach of promise. —Boston Herald. —The Blaok Watch, mentioned so frequently in the dispatches from Suakirn, as having borne the brunt of General Graham’s last engagement, is the name given to the Fortycs;cond Regiment, Highlanders.

Heeding to draw Alone. In seeding down to grus by Hsell there are severed advantages. By early sowing the seed taken much batter than in any other way, and the growth is more rapid, so that a crop of hay ean often be taken the same vear. The soil is in bette r condition for the sowing than at any other time of the year, and the grass taken so firm a hold upon the soil that dry weather does it no in jury. When the grass is sown with grain it is very weak at that time, and a few dry days after the shelter of the grain is lost will totally ruin it This frequently happens, and is the reason why so many grass seedings with grain fail. The ground should be u well plowed as for a grain crop, and then thoroughly harrowed until it is perfectly tnellow and fine, and yet compactly settled and made fine by tbe harrow teeth, li the seed is then sown it will fad into the harrow marks, and grow ; up in rows with spaces between therm which 3s objectionable for several reasons. To avoid this ihe harrow should be followed bv a brush harrow or a smoothing plank to level tbe barrow marks and get a smooth, fine surface. The seed may then he sown. <. “ In sowing tbe seed great ease should be used to get an even seeding. Every turn should b e overlapped a little tc avoid bare strips, and it is easy to do this by observing the marks of the feel at the previous sowing, and keeping tin next track even and parallel with this. Only oae-Jhalf of the seed should be sown one way up and down the field. The other half should lje sown fgsross the first sowing and with equal care, and then one may be reasonably? sure that the ground is evenly covered. In sowing fight seed the early morning, when vthe air is usually stiff, should be chosen for tbe work. Orchard-grass, blue-grass and red-top should be thus sown. Timothy and clover being heavier may be sewn at any time, unttss a strong wind . is blowing, in whioh case the work should be stopped. A good sower may do the work well, even in a wind, by throwing the seed low down and by going across the: wind, so that the seed is «w ays carried in the same direction and with the wind. After the seed is sown it shoidd be covered at once. Every day’s work in brush harrowing should be followed the next day with the sowing, and no more should be sown than can be covered in the next day. It is better still t&^have the covering d one by U second man directly after tiie sower. The covering should bedono by alight brush harrow made as follows: Two round poles or light planks, ar.d a quantity of small brush five feet long should bo procured. One pole or plank is laid upon the ground, and the brush is laid evenly and smoothly upon the pole; the other pole is laid over the first one, and the two are fastened tightly together witb-xvires, or bolts screwed up closely with nuts, or a light chain may be wound around the poles and drawn tight with a small binder so as to hold trie brush. For stumpy ground the brash may be spread like a fan and two short poles used, and a third one is laid across near the ends of the brush and fastened by winding some of the brush around it. The covering should be done carefully,_ as it is important to finish the work quite as well as it has been begnn. Grass-seed-thus sown will rarely ever miss, and there will be less complaint of poor soil, vrhieh is mostly an exeuse for poor work. A farmer who spends three dollars an acre for seed should certainly take great care that the money is noi; lost through imperfect preparation of the ground and door work in sowing and covering the seed.

-. u. • vri ft. Farm Labor. The question of farm labor is one ol the matters which is always up for discussion, and one in wh ich jyho are interested must ans wer for themselves, and that as influenced by the conditions by which they are surrounded. To say t hat help is source because the farmers are selfish and mean does not answer the question af all, for, as a class, farmers are quite as liberal and lenient as anj class of persons who buy labor. One of the reasons at the start why labor is s carce is because young men who have labor to sell object to farm labor, preferring shops, factories and the allurements of clerking in all sorts of stores, under the impression that the employment is steady, the wages more u niforrn, and the chances for rapid promotion (?) more promising. That they succeed in the end better than the saving, industrious boy who first hires out as a farm hand, then becomes a tenant, and finally to buy a farm and become a farmer and homeowner, is for the two classes to decide for themselves. The salaries of city clerks and the higher grade of employes look very large to the country boy, who does not from knowledge figure up the actual city expenses, and ascertain what is left on December 31st of these seemingly princely salaries. As it now stands, fanners will have to pay more wages, or else the famine for good laaor will continue; The Western farmer pays better wages than in the East, andean afford to, because the section of land that costs $3,000, produces exajtly as much or more than the section of Eastern land that is worth $30,000. ThB difference in investment is in favor of the Western farmer, and so he divides with his help, as takes and interest on $3,000 is only a fraction of the other. Perhaps, if the _ Eastern farmer will try intensified farming, he might so increase the products of his farm that, while employing three or four times as much help, as he w»uld be obliged to, ho could raise the w^es correspondingly There is yet another side issue of this same problem of labor. As farming; is now carried on, the net income does not warrant the fanner in paying “city salaries” to his help. Would a cha:ige give larger net incomes when hired help and all the extra expense was eo mputed? Why do the boys ■ shun the farm and go elsewhere? Simply because they imagine that other things pay batter than lie usual one of farming; thl,t other vocations promise them better social advantages and a freedom from the isofalion of farrnlife. The time wilt soon come when the city will become over-supplied with help. The chances to obtain easy jobs amt large salaries wfll decrease, and theh there will be a return to farm life And an acceptance of , farm wages. When fanners so order their calling that their incomes are commensurate with other well-conducted industries then there will be no further conflict, and farm-labor will again become obtainable and at equitable rates. Agriculture will some day be the one great occupation of this coun try, and will be conducted by men of wisdom and large understanding and judgment, and these will stop thn balance of power. Let us hold a moment! Is the farmer, after all, in Any conflict with labor, such as is all the time “nging” between capital And the miners, iron-workers, spinners and weavers. n.ilway employes, sailors, glass-blowers, and all kinds of labor employed in the erection of city buildings, etcP When did the farmer have to contend with a strike? When?— Cleveland Herald. —The duiation of life in England is on the increase. Men's lives are prolonged two and women’s three and onethird years beyond the limit of thirtyfive years ago.

Sun —Gath thus describes scenes at a famous dairy farm in Pennsylvania: “I was interested in two things in this stable. In the first place, the cream separator, which is run by a steam engine, revolves with enormous rapidity, and the cream flows out of one spigot and the skimmed milk out of another. Then I observed the apparatus for cleaning cows, which are carefully washed and brushed once or twice a day by means of brushes operated by the engine. The cow or calf or bull is Brbught forward and tied to the post, »nd from above these brushes are brought to her body and carefully raise every hair. Feeding a Family Cow. The question is hy no means so simple as may at first sight appear. The question, in fact, might well serve as a text for a treatise on the whole theory aud practice of feeding dairy stock. But this is hardly what M. desires in this place. I have fed a “family cow,” and I have fed as many as fifty cows, and I have learned that a ration for the best results in milk is necessarily an ex-f pensive one. It requires & large per ueutage of albuminoids, and albumin, oids, either in the food of man oi are expensive in their original But in preparing many of the if man, there are by-products or 5s, of highly albuminoid nature, admirably-adapted to the requirements of herbivorous animals. Such are the hulls of the various grains, under various -names—malt, sprouts, brewers’ grains, cotton-seed, flax-seed, and many other seeds after the oil has been extracted. All these, in some sense waste products, are Within the reach of stock feed-, ers at prices which make it possible to use them with some degree of profit. Now the feeder will find that these byproducts vary considerably in price ini different parts of the country, and in selecting his feed he must choose those Bubstances which yield the largest percentage of digestible albuminoids for the least money. In the Eastern States, selecting the period of lowest market, we find nothing cheaper—nothing more economical—than a first quality St Louis ban. It should have a thick, heavy hull, with a film of flour adheriuu to the inner surface. It seldom exceeds one cent a pound. It is always safe to feed in any quantity. Next in economy comes cotton-seed meal.* But this feed is generally regarded with some prejudice, and I am inclined to think justly. It is very stimulating to the milk glands, and, unless fed with prudence, produces inflammation of the milk ducts and udder. Three pounds a day may lie fed, however, to a cow weighing a thousand pounds, without much nsk. A good substitute for cotton-seed meal, though more expensive, is linseed meal (old process). This is always safe and a most satisfactory food. A proper milk ration should contain, in addition to highly albuminoid food, a certain proportion” erf easily digested hydro-carbons, or starchy foods.' The long fodder usually fed to cows contains these elements in abundance, but in a form less available, that is, digestible, than in most ground grains. So, “for quick returns,” it is always well to supplement the hydro-carbons in hay, straw, corn-stalks, etc., by a certain amount of corn meal. No other grain, on the whole, better serves the purpose, on the ground of economy, than fine corn meal. For my dairy of t horoughbreds I have settled down upon the foHpwing mixture for a grain ration: For cows iwfuil flow of milk I find a theoretical excess of albuminoids to give economical returns. The proportions ‘given are, by weight, six parts best bran, three parts fine corn meal, and three parts linseed meal. One pound of this mixture is given to each hundred-weight of the animal; half in the morning and the other half in the evening, 1? fed dry, the cow drinks more, and consequently gives more milk. If I were not skeptical os to the use of cottonseed meal, I should substitute it for linseed meal, ft costs less and produces more milk. If I were feeding a “family cow ” regardless of expense, and for quality as well as quantity of milk, I would grind corn in the ear, and add an equal tiulk of ground oats. A ration would be four quarts night and morning, with i quart of linseed meal it addition. For long fodder I would feed oat hay; :hat is, oats cut when just out of blosiom aqd quickly cured. No forage jrop 1 have ever raised give!) such remits in milk. I can assure M. that it loes pay to cut cornstalks. Cut them wo inches long, and sprinkle moderately with salt water, twenty four hours Before feeding. Give no more salt than s required for health.—Gov. Country Gentleman. —Tho New York Commercial Advertiser remarks that “it is again fashiontble for ladies to comb their hair back irom their foreheads and show they mre brains." • • beast state. foods residl

The Tate ef Tears. Very young people are ant to regard a person who nas passed her first youth as already meandering through the rale of years, where the flowers are no longer blooming, nor the fields green, and where the faded autumn leaves rustle moutnully beneath the tread. There is no joy, no happiness, or beauty, in their eyes, within this valley, which is,' a'ter all, only a suburb of'that other where the dense shadows take ghastly shapes As they grow older, they make the astonishing discovery that the path is not so full of thorns as they supposed, nor so steep. It was Mrs. Somerville who “wished she cou'd persuade young people that to be old is not as terrible as they think.” Life has revealed to the old a thousand pleasures it has hidden from the young—pleasures that grow by the common road-side, to which they are blind; pleasures which it has not entered into the heart of the young to understand. Youth is prude, and has no perspective, but the vale of years opens charming vistas in the past, where the nightingalo sings, and the rose blossoms, and stars scintillate. The youth is lull of impatience and enthusiasms, eager to test himself, to grasp at happiness; age dwells in the land of the lotuseater, where neither the pain of failure nor the gladness of success penetrates; where vanity and heart-burning are out of fashion; where ships have come in with rich cargoes, or have long b en given up; where to-day is fairer than to-m Trow, and expectation and suspense are out of date. The old have found out long since what the world held for them of good or ill, and have male the best of it. The. Abbe iiorellet, we are told, was so in lov<r with old age he declared that “if the gods were to permit him toreturn.to earth in whatever shape he might choose, he should perhaps make the whimsical ehoi e of returning as an old man.” Old age is something more than infirmity, “gout and rheuraatbm;” it is another stand-point; we see the world and its happenings, perhaps, with the impartial eyes of a dweller in another star. “The soul's dark cottage, battered and decayed. Letstu new light through chinks that Time has made." Tha vexatious troubles of youth and middle life seem trifling to the old, seen by this illumination, and’ affect them no m re painfully than a pleasant melody in the minor key. In truth the vale of years ip not so dolorous a place as it is painted; the shadows close about those who linger there so gently and iniperccpt'bly that they arc hardly aware of the darkening.—Harpers Bazaar. «i> - i The Editor and the Burglar. Once upon a time a village editor awoke to find a burglar searching in his chamber for bis gold and bonds, and, drawing bis trusty pistol from- beneath his pillow, he took steady aim at the intruder’s head. Looking'around and becoming painfully aware of his peril, the burglar pleadingly said: “Spare me, for 1 have made a mistake m the house. I have found nothing but an old out-of-date railroad-pass. Let me depart in peace.” “Not so,” answerel the editor, hold, ing his aim like a skilled marksman, “for this is a mighty dull week for locals.” “But pause a moment and reflect,” returned the burglar. ‘Your paper is not, issued till Friday. Your hated rival, the IVee'.h/ Bungstarter, will go fr» Eress to-morrow evening, and would ave at least two columns of my death and the Coroner’s inquest It would be fully two days ahead of yon.” “True enough,” said the editor with a sigh, as he lowered his pistol and replaced it under his pillow.” You are, too early in the week for an item for; me, and 1 therefore spare yon. You will find the plumber's house, for which you evidently mistook the humble home, next door but ope.”—Middletown Transcript.

Calculated on That, There was a man walking up and down in the Union Depot the other day who was so tall and thin as to attract general attention. He finally approached Officer Button with'an inquiry about trains, and the officer made bold to inquire if it was a case of tapeworm. , “No, sir !” was the emphatic answer. “I am training for a prize-fight.” “Indeed! Who are vou goinw to fight?” -So “Slugger Sullivan, unless he backs out.” “My dear friend,” said the officer, as tears of sympathy stood in his eyes. “If John Sullivan should hit you a body blow he would send his fist char through yon so that half his arm would appear on the other side.” “Exactly, sir ! That’s what I have calculated on ! With my ribs and vertebras holding his hand fa it 1 have him at-a disadvantage and 1 will hammer him good and solid. Yes sir, let him jam nis fist through my body and the stakes are m ne '."—Detroit Free Frees. —Dr. Emin Bey found a colony of Akkas during his recent travels in Africa. They were pigmies, the tall:st of them not exceeding four feet, the average for men being about three feet. They are regular little savages, and tight with desperation when aroused. The color of their skin ranges from a clear yellow to a glistening ml, and their bod'os are covered with a ihick, Stitt', filthy coat of hair. They usually live in the forests, Without other shelter than that afforded by the trees; yet their chief often has a hut built, and surrounded with other huts for the married members of his tribe.
