A COLD FRAUD. rbf Iceman Worked It SLllltfnll; ffo* a Time. Dot Wai Caasht at l.a«t. A new bride and her recently- enianei'pated mother, each luckily born with a sense of humor, met the other day at the studio of an even more Bohemian nister. and merrily tried to see which could tell the bigger story of her experiences. The deaf and dumb hall boy' who has eyes in the back of his head, the faithless butcher, and “the lady who wants washing" had each furnished a share of an irresistible quarter hour. “I had always supposed,*’ said the old lady as she rose to go. “that an honest janitor was the noblest work of God. I have come to* the conclusion that there is something in the very air of an apartment which is demoralising to every one-who either makes, bakes, brews, or in any way serves the dwellers therein. Lots of things m}’ 20 years of housekeeping had prepared me for, but I found out a brand-new scheme the \>ther day. “Ever since we went to the Marie ^ Jeannette to live, I had wondered how it was that we nsed as much ice in our small ice chest as we used to in our large refrigerator. I saw the ice put In each mornings and the next morning the place that knew it knew it no more, I studied that thing off and on for a month before I found my gay deceiver out. One day I happened to sit down when talking to the cook, and I saw that the ice chest lid seemed tilted up. I looked in. There was a nugget of Ice left, but nothing tall enough to prevent the lid from closing tight. I' investigated. In each hinge of that lid there was a match. I took them out. The lid went down snug. The more I thought of it the more certain I was that it was not a mere coincidence that there were twp of them. Wheji the iceman came that morning I watched out and had the satisfaction of seeing him look surprised w hen the lid went down with a bang under his hand. The next morning we told him that there was ice enough, which was true, the hot kitchen air being shut out. The next morning I stayed aw^' until he was gone, telling'Rosa to give him the kitchen to himself. The lid was tilted up the same old way. but no matches. I got my glasses on and lighted the gas, and there if you please in each hinge was a little w ad of chewing gum!* & “What a cold fraud!” said the Bohemian sister, and thereat every woman In the lot gathered up her raiment and fled to look info the vitals of her own household. And not a pot of them all could call the kettle black. It h a brand-new scheme, but it works.—X. Y. Run. Already Rewarded. The last joke at the expense of the French society for the Protection of Animals is to the following effect : A countrymen, armed with an immense club, presented himself before the president of the society and claimed the first prise. He was asked to describe the act of humanity on which he founded his claim. “I have saved the life of a wolf.” re- j plied the countryman. “I might easily | have killed him with this bludgeon," and he swu'rr hi* weapon in the air. to the intense discomfort of the president. “But where was this wolf?” inquired the latter. “What had he done to you?" “He,had just devoured my wife,” waa the reply. The president reflected an instant, and then said: , “Mr friend, I am of the opinion that you have been sufficiently rew arded."— Pittsburgh Dispatch. Kerries la Europe aa4 America.

THE FARMING WORLD. -> HORSES IN WINTER. r««4iBC Too Liberally la as Badas Starving Them. There is a golden mean in feeding animals which should be observed. There is a tendency where one takes pride in horses to feed too much. The liberal feeder should take especial pains to provide abundant exercise. In the case at a team reduced in flesh by hard labor during summer and autumn feeding up to recruit in winter is essential. Feeding alone, hov ever, without moderate work leaves the creatures in softened flesh, which vanishes ^before the heavy work of spring. If it is the intention to sell horses in early spring they should by all means be fed up to a plump condition and the muscles should be hardened by moderate work. The careful buyer inspects more than the outside appearance. He expects constitution and endurance as well as clear sight and sound limbs. Too often the gait of the colt is neglected, to the detriment of its sale. Toe often striking, interfering and forging will permanently impair the limbs or feet, when by attention in time these defects might have been permanently cured by use of proper devices. The expense of shoeing in the course of years might also be much reduced where the policy of prevention is adopted in the early stages. Colts as well as children may be corrected in faults of carriage and gait, as well as other habits. and such training adds^ largely to their value. The teams intended for the regular work of the, coming season. If in fair condition at this time, may be fed moderately in proportion to the exercise or j work performed in winter, and will be j In better condition for spring labor than if overfattered. Winter grazing, or, in lieu of this, ensilage, roots, vegetables. brat) and other cooling rations ! should be afforded every alternate day; at least it is desirable to prevent any j feverish condition of the organs of di- j gestion. The occasional irritation j found in the disposition of the older j horses arises from a neglect of proper cooling diet in winter.—Farm and Fireside. . BARN VENTILATION. j How to Provide Fresh Air |Of Live j Stock at All Times. My barn is built with wooden stud- I ding. The walls are double. On the bottom, at the outsiderT'cut a~l>oard, and on the inside, near the ceiling, another, and put in an air shaft (AA) six by sixteen inches in hollow walls, air entering at sill on outside, and passing inside overhead near ceiling at E E; where arc shutters to close if necessary, according to the severity of the weather. The fresh air thus becomes \

PRACTICAL. VENTILATION, warmed and enters overhead. Warm air will not go down, but cold air will come in from the outside.- The exit shaft (B) is 16 by 20 inches, extending from floor to outside of roof. The door (C) has hinges at the top, to be opened or closed at will, to control exit of air. Some mornings the air is a little muggy and heavy and the ventilation is not so good; I them hang a lighted lantern in a small door (D), and in twcvminutes the draft is going again. Don’t cut holes to let the warm air out* for it is the air on, the floor to be got rid of. The shafts (A A) are- at one end of the stable, one in each corner, and the exit shaft (B) is at the opposite end. One ventilator is required for every ?0 cows. Don't make thcfm too large; smaller ones work better.-—John Gould, to New Jersey Board of Agriculture. Great Waste la Pastartaa* It is an advantage to a certain class of over economical farmers when winter’s mantle of snow finally covers the frost-bitten grass which was left from summer pasturing. In most cases this grass while fresh and green was unpalatable. .but after it was frost-bitten there is very little nutrition left in it. The cheapest place to keep a cow at any season of the year is in t£e stable, cutting and bringing food to her. Pasturing at its • best in summer does not make as cheap food as cut clover or corn does. 1 If continued after the ground is frozen either the cow loses flesh and 'fails in her milk or she has tc be fed so miu*h corn that the ffost-bit-ten herbage dWs not «>unt, and the cow becomefevloo fat to be a profitable milker.—American Cultivator. To Tell a Cow’s Awe. The way to tell a cow’s age is by an inspection of her horns. Up to the age of two. the hora is uniformly smooth, from the root tmthe tip. At the age of two, a ring, or thick material grows at the base of each horn, forming a sort of notch, and an additional ring or notch is added every year afterwards. To find the age. therefore, count the rings and add two. In the case of a bull, the first ring does not appear until he is five years old. but one annual ring appears after that. Though now and again irregularities occur, yet, op the whole, this rule is reliable. Fraudulent dealers occasionally file down these notches or rings, bat clone inspection ia sufficient to expose the fraud.—Goldes Days. It is a safe plan to apply ail naan me «a a plowed surface. I

Bad Digestion, Bad Heart Poor digestion often ceases irregularity of the heart's action. This irregularity may be mistaken for real, drganic heart disease The Symptoms are much the same. There is, however, a vast difference between the two: organic heart disease » often incur able; apparent heart disease is curable if good digestion be restored. A case in point is quoted from the New Era, of Greenshurg, lnd. Mrs. Ellen Coltom, Newpoint, Tna., a woman forty-three years old, had suffered for four years with distressing stomach trouble. The gases generated by the indigestion pressed on ths heart, and caused an trregularityof its action. She had much pain in her stomach and heart, and was subject to frequent and severe choking spells which were most severe at night. Doctors were tried in vain; the patient bej came worst,,despondent, and feared impend* ing death!"V"*"*O—

▲ CASE OP HEART FAILURE. She was much frightened but noticed that in intervali! in which her stomach did not annoy her, her heart’s action became normal Reasoning correctly that her digestion was alone at fault she procured the proper medicine to treat that trouble and with immediate good results. Her appetite came back, the choking spells became less frequent ana finally ceased. Her weight, which had been greatly reduced was restored and she now weighs more than for years. Her blood soon became pure and her cheeks rosy. The case is of general interest because the disease is a very common one.

A chattel mortgage is held, in Sabin vs. WilkinB (Ore.), 37 L. R. A. 465, to be a part of an assignment for creditors, where, after the mortgage and before the assignment for creditors, there was a compromise agreement between the debtor and his creditors, although he said if he was attached he must execute an- assignment, and his inability to carry' out his part of the compromise agreement did result in an attachment and assignment.

ON THE WAITER Why His .Castomer Coeldm’t Bat tke Soap. A certain literary German whose manner of speaking was extremely deliberate, and who disapproved of impetuosity of any sort and under any circumstances,'had an amusing experience in a restaurant one day. He was a well-known figure among the Cirons of this parti inlar establishment, as seldom dined anywhere else, and he was generally served by su waiter who had become used to his war oi speaking; but one day a new waiter tool;, his order and brought his soup. „ ■. ■ “I cannot eat this »up," said the gentleman, slowly, not looking up from his plate. The man seised th«. soup prate before the customer could finish he sentence, and vanished with it. He reappeared in a noment with another supply of the same i tup, which he placed before1 the gentlemai and then stood regarding him with an mxious face, wondering what could be th reason for the soup remaining untouched. “I cannot eat this s up," again slowly remarked the literary r id. “Why not, sir? W hat is the matter?" stammered the unha] >y waiter, who had been told he was sen; ng an important person. “I cannot eat this sl ip,” said the literary Rius, calmly, for thi third time, “because ave not as yet be a provided with a spoon!” — Northwestern Christian , Advocate. , ■ t THE HOSTETTER CO. WINS ANOTHER CASE. i latrlicnwata aw Their Bitters Nat Tolerated hy Halted States Coart. The United States Circuit Court for the Southern District of New York, Judge Townsend presiding, h ended dqwn an opinion December 23d, 1897. granting injunction and accounting, in tbe suit of The Hostetter Company against Isaac Sommers and Louis Joseph, for infringement: of its Trade Mark. The jurist states, m bold and clear language, the rights accruing to the Hostetter Company, and the liability incurred by all who would rob them, by fraud or misrepresentation, of the well-earned reputation and profits of a business built up by the efforts of half a century. Tbe judge says, in part: “The complainant is entitled to protection against the appropriation of its trade mark, oy any and all unfair and dishonorable means, and a court, of equity has power to graut such protection whenever it is satisfied that an attempt has been made by ingenious subterfuges, to invade‘the rights of an owner of a trade mark. * * In the sharp contest between the individual manufacturer, who strives to acquire and retain the fruits of industry and honesty, and the field of keen rivals, seeking to wrest from him the prize of the public goodwill, the^inventive ingenuity or the infringer has conceived a great variety of devices for evading the established rules of fair dealing. * * Courts of equity finding that their ultimate object and effect were to enable and induce the retail seller of a fraudulent imitation to palm it off on an unsuspecting public for the genuine article, and thus to contribute to the infringement upon the rights of the original owner, have not hesitated to apply the remedy.” A pompous bishop was having his £ortrait painted, and, after sitting for an our in silence he thought he would break the monotony. “How are you getting along?" he inquired.

“THATTERROR of MOTHERS” Hqw it was overcome by a Nova Scotian mother Who is well known as an author.

Of all the evils that attack children scarcely any other is more dreaded than croup. It so often come* in the night. The danger is so great. The climax is so sodden. It ism^wonder that Mrs. W. J: Dickson jMWHWT known under her pen name of f Stanford Kveleth,") calls it “ the terror oftnother*.'vJ»or is it any wonder that she /writes in terms of praise and gratitude' for the relief which she ha* found both from her ova anxieties, and for her children's ailments, in Dr. J. C. Ayer's Cherrv Pectoral. It would he impossible to better state the value of this remedy than is- done in Mrs. Dickson’s letter, which is sis follows: “ Memory does not recall the time when Dr. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral was not used in our family, for throat and lung troubles, and the number of empty Cherry Pectoral bottles collected during the season, told where relief bad been sought. This medicine was in snch constant nse in my father's family, that when I had a home of mv own, and had childish ailments to 'attend to, it still proved efficacious. Tnat terror of mothers—the startling, croupy cough — never alarmed me, so long ss I ha ■a a bottle of Ayer's Cheiry Pectoral in the honse to supplement t- e hot-water bath. When suffering with whooping cough, in its worst form, and articulation was impossible on account > of the choking, my children would point nnd gesticulate toward the bottle; for1 experience had taught them that relief

was in it* content*.”—Mr*, w. T. Dicxaon 1" Stau.ord Eveleth ”X author of “Romance of the Province*," Truro, N. S. To show the prompt action of Dr. Ayer** Cherry Pectoral in severe cases, we print a letter from C. J. Wooldridge, Wortham, „ Tex., who writes: “ One of my children had croup. One night I was startled by the chffB's hard breathing, and on going to .it found it strangling. It had nearly ceased to breathe. Having a part of a bottle of Dr. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral in the house, I gave the , child three doses, at short intervals, and anxiously waited results.
