She is a good milker and is not afraid of cars or anything else. She is of undaunted courage and gives milk frequently. To a man who does not fear 1 death in any form she would be a 1 great boon. She is very much attach- 8 ed to her present home by means of a stay chain ; but she will be sold to any f one who will agree to treat ber right, c She is ODe-fourth shorthorn and three- * fourths hyena. I will also throw in a double-barrel shotgun, which goes with i her. In May she usually goes away i for a week or two and returns with a s tall red calf with wabbly legs. Her name is Rose. I would rather sell her c . to a non-resident." t ? ? e A Bragging Match.?A Parisian paper relates the following story of s a contest in boasting which it says, ? took place between three artists of r Marseilles.

"My dear," said one of the artists, "yesterday I painted a pine board in imitation of marble, and did it with such fidelity that when the board was D put into a pond of water it sunk like c stone." "Poor!" said the second ; "that is ? nothing. Yesterday I happened to > hang up my thermometer on the back I of the frames of my 'View in the Ar- c tic Regions,' and the mercury instantly went down to 20 degrees below b zero." c "All that is nothing at all," said the t third artist. "You know my portrait s of the old Marquis of Cajnargne? Well, it is so life-like that it has to be t shaved three times a week." v ? p He Didn't Budge.?One time a v Quaker in a carriage met a young man in a buggy driving in a narrow j| lane, where they couldn't pass. ii "I shan't make way for you," said a the young man. >< "I am older than thou art," replied the Quaker, "and therefore have a D right to expect thee to give away so _ that I can pass." j, "Well, I won't." resumed the young t fellow. Then he pulled out a newspaper and began to read, as he sat still in hia narriacp The Quaker, observing him, pulled a pipe and some tobacco from his pock- c et, struck a light, and sat and puffed * away very comfortably. "Friend," said he, "when thou has read that paper I should be very glad * if thou wouldst lend it to me." 8 The young man gave up the con- P test. 8 t t t d The Coming Black Sheep.?The a Rev. Dr. Meredith, a well-known Brooklyn clergyman, tries to cultivate c friendly relations with the younger R members of his flock. In a recent talk ? to his Sunday-school he urged the Ji children to speak to him whenever they met. ^ The next day a dirty-faced urchin, a having a generally disreputable appearance, accosted him in the street ^ with : "How do, Doc?" v The clergyman stopped, and cordial- P ly inquired : "And who are you, sir?" 2 "I'm one of your little lambs," re- 'j plied the boy, affably. "Fine day." 1 And, tilting his hat to the back of his head, he swaggered off, leaving the t worthy divine speechless with amaze- d ment. g . t Biggest House on Earth.?Bishop e Watterson, of Nebraska, was once 8 mistaken for a traveling salesman by a commercial traveler, who met him in a railrr.ad train. U "Do you represent a big house?" 0 asked the traveler of the bishop. b "Biggest on earth," replied the bish- a op. b "What's the name of the firm ?" b "Lord and Church." r "Hum ! 'Lord and Church?' Never v heard of it. Got branch houses any- D where ?" "Branch houses all over the world." \ "That's queer." Never heard of 'em. I Is it boots and shoes?" y "No." b "Oh dry goods, I suppose ?" t , "Yes, they call my sermons that I sometimes." a ? F How to Grow.?This is the advice J which the New York Press gives to a ^ young man who wanted to know how 9 to increase his height by 3 inches: "In the first place, eat beans. They c have an upward inclination, and we c observe that the giants of Maine, who t live almost wholly on them, don't care f a rap whether their parents are long or c short. People who live on turnips the 1 broad flat variety, generally partake t of the nature of that watery root? { they became rotund and dropsical. If \ beans do not aid your stature try tying u a cannon ball to each ankle, and when < you sleep hold to the headboard with 1 your hands and let the weights swing over the foot. Lie down a great deal, c Sleep on the small of your back on a J horizontal bar." ; I He Got It.?A man who owned a t small country newspaper in central i New York made up his mind that he < was entitled to a vacation, aud having i fixed up a place to "put in the time," r wrote the president of a railroad for a c pass. In recommendation of his paper 1 he said : "My paper has a wide cir- t culation ; it goes everywhere; in fact I t have hard work to keep it from going to h?11!" He got the pass. t A gray hair was discovered r among the raven locks of a fair frieud a of ours a few days ago. "O, pray pull p it out," she exclaimed. "If I pull it c out ten will come to the funeral," re- f plied the lady who had made the un- s welcome discovery. "Pluck it out, c nevertheless," said the fair haired I damsel, "it's no sort of consequence t how many come to the funeral, pro- f vided they all come in black." c Wausidc Gatherings.

Jam and Jireside. SORGHUM FOR FEED. Says F. Hudson, in Home and Farm: ? I have seen several writing of sorghum as a forage crop; but they do not tell the people how to raise or bow to j feed it. They think it has to be cured ed and fed as they would fodder from corn, but not so. It must be kept as j green as it can possibly be kept, and , fed in a green state. I planted one acre this year, planted it thick in the ? drill, and made drills about three feet , apart. I hoed it once and plowed it j twice. The preparing of the land and workincr it cost me about four days' 1 work, aDd when it began to bead out I began to feed it. I bad three horses and four hogs, which I fed on it for three months before it was gone. My hogs were poor when I began to feed them, and when the sorgum was gone they were fat enough for meat, and I had not fed them a bite of corn, and had them in a close pen all the time. As long as the sorghum lasted my horses did not eat a bushel of corn, and they were in better condition than my neighbors' horses that had been eating corn all the time. My horses would not eat the sorghum until it had headed out and got sweet; then they eat stalks and all. It may take a horse that has never eaten auy sorghum a week to learn bow to eat it. Then I assure you they will eat it every time they get a chance, and it will never hurt them. I never cut any more sorghum than I wish to feed, until there is danger of a freeze. Then cut all that is left in the patch, haul it in immediately and rick it. How shall I rick it? Stand up forks about three feet high and about ten feet apart in a row, and lay poles on them, or stretch a wire as you wish. Then stand your sorghum against that, and it will keep sweet all the winter. This is the way the farmers of West Texas keep it, and it is about all they feed. It will make three times as nn on a orn aq ftAMl W111. LUUVtU IGOU VU mu mw? v w- ? For winter feed plant about the mid- ' die of July. I hope every farmer will J plant a sorghum crop for feed. * ? TOMATOES ON STILTS. i Set the plants three feet apart in the i row, and as they grow trim off all the < leaves up to the first fruit stem, and 1 then leave the next two suckers or 1 prongs that come out above it. i Now get some stakes or poles about t eight feet long and sharpen the lower ? ends and set them in the row?one at s ! each plant and one on each side of it, 1 | a foot from it. Tie up the main stalk a to its stake, cutting out all suckers as a it grows, leaving only the leaves and c fruit stems. Take the aforesaid two r suckers that were left, and as they t grow tie them up to the stake on each c side, and treat each of them as a sep- I arate vine, tieing it up to its stake and c pruniDg as it grows. By this process we can get more fruit and better than by any other we s have ever tried ; and the fruit is soon up out of reach of predatory chickens that come in (from your neighbors,) of g course. Some varieties do not stand g this treatment so well as others. I find that we get our best results from a the acme and its kindred varieties. p In order to set the stakes so firm h that they will stand the winds and ri rains, we use a piece of hard wood Sl about two and one-half feet long, ta- Q pered to a point at one end and having 0 a hole bored through near the other, 7 in which we put a cross stick for a q handle. We call the thing a spud. u We drive this into the ground where we want our stakes, about one to one \ and one-half feet, and then taking n hold of the handle, work it back (] and forth a little, and give it a twist (j and null. We have a nice bole into f, which we force our stakes as firmly as D we can and tramp the soil arouod the t] stake on the surface. Stakes thus put in will stand firm all season and hold up your fruit nicely. By this process 8 you keep your vines in a reasonable t space, and when your fruit begins to f ripen you have all kinds; from the g bunches of ripe fruit below up through 0 all grades to the bloom ; and the vines t will bear until frost closes the scene, g This process is intended for small crops; p of course, it is not adapted to field cut- f ture. c Danger In Soda.?Common soda is all right in its place and indispensa- I ble in the kitchen and for cooking and 8 washing purposes; but it was never c intended for a medicine, and people t who use it as such will some day re- f gret it. c We refer to the common use of soda t to relieve heartburn or sour stomach, t a habit which thousands of people t practice almost daily, and one which ? is fraught with danger ; moreover, the e soda only gives temporary relief and t in the end the stomach trouble gets i worse and worse. t The soda acts as a mechanical irri- i tant to the walls of the stomach and c bowels, and cases are on record where t it accumulated in the intestines causing & death by inflammation or peritonitis. < t t Tired Eyes.?People who complain c that their eyes get tired while engaged t in such pursuits as writing or sewing, might try the ingenious invention of a * Glasgow journalist. Finding that bis { eyes became so tired that he could write only with great difficulty, he hit t upon the plan of having some strips of colored paper pasted on bis desk close ^ to the inkstand, so that every time he j wanted a dip of ink his eyes fell upon c the colored strips. The result was g surprising, and the inventor claims . that by this simple device he not only avoided the use of glasses, but also improved his sight. , ? t Household Liniment.?To make c the most useful household liniment, especially for the lungs, break two eggs o?rJ intn a nnort Kntllo nut t.wn L handfuls fine table salt in this and i skake well until the eggs are cut up. e Add two tablespoonfuls each of tur- c pentine, kerosene oil and ammonia, c and fill bottle with strong vinegar, a shake well before using.

WHAT PRESIDENTS COST. ami Appropriated by the United States and France. Presidents "come high, but we have ot to have them." It costs us $114,65 a year for a chief executive. Am His salary is $50,000 and "found," s our western neighbors say. The resident's finding is rather compreensive, covering about every possible equirement of a family. His private ecretary, the clerks, the doorkeepers, lessengers and steward, and three ther servants, cost us $33,266 a year, 'hen there is a contingent fund of $8,00 a year, which the president may se according to his discretion. P In furniture and repairs to the the yhite House, the sum of $16,000 ^ lore, to be used by the direction of ? be president, is provided by the naion and is always expended. For iel*alone $3,000 is allowed, and for / ecessary repairs to the greenhouse /a bere is $4,000. \ Altogether, the presidential "findig" annually amounts to the snug - r t%r*a o?e 1?

Lincoln's "Selfishness." ?

As ] he old coach began to climb the billlide Mr. Lincoln called out, "Driver, :an't you stop just a moment?" Tbe Iriver replied, "If the other feller P lon't object."

Besides that the verage country school teacher with A he salary he or she receives, has very ittle money to speud attending these A chools. The highest salary paid is bout $35 per month, even in our TH raded schools, and that for three to STC ie months. After the teacher pays ing expenses for 12 months, buyr thes and pays necessary expenses, ire is not much left for going off to rmal schools. Of necessity there [1 not be much money left out of the ary to go to normal schools. In the ssent state of the finances of the blic schools we are about of the opini that it would be more profitable to ;e the money spent for these normal tools and put it into the . public ool fund. Of course those who are teach in these schools will be strong /ocates of them ; but we do not here those who are ostensibly to be lefited by them will reap much (fit, and the great mass of the teachwill be unable to take advantage tbem.
