WISDOM OF THE BEAVER. It l? Shown In b Conflict with n. Hungry 1 KUver<(i'ray Wolf. Wliilo hunting in the Wind River Mountain a newspaper correspondent witnessed an encounter between a silver- I gray wolf and a beaver. On the log n that forlned the basis of the beaver dam t thore crouched an immense silver-gray a . wolf.. IJe was intently watching the t surface of the water. Soon there camc i ? long ripple from ono of the banks, ?leadily approaching the log. A beaver \ was on his way to the top of the dam. r Tnstantly the wolf crouchod still lower, 1 while his eyes never moved from the t ripple. He wanted beaver meat for 1 breakfast. The water broke close to x the edge of the log, and the broad head t *)f the beaver appeared. There was a t avuge spring, a loud plash, and both 1 the wolf and beaver disappeared be- f ueath the water. t In a few seconds the wolf emerged t -1 1 J il. ? tliuue, ClttlUUt'ICU Kill tuu ?I u a disconsolately pawed several bunches of t fur from between his "listening fangs, The beaver had escaped. But the wolf Was not discouraged. In a moment or two he moved further along the log end took up another position of observation. The point lie now occupied was at the junction of a huge limb with the .parent stem. This limb made a 'feemi-circular sweep of twenty-five or thirty feet, its extreme end resting 011 the Gank. The" water space thus enclosed was not asdeep as the rest of the pond, and near the shore was quite shallow. All at once the wolf pricked up his ears, and there could be seen the -. ripple that announced the presence of a beaver. Soon a black object appeared above the water near the shore. It was the nose of a beaver. Slowly the wolf crcpt along the limb. His movements were noiseless. The water was so shallow that the beaver, once in his enemy's clutches, could not possibly escapc. The spring was made and the beaver, was caught. But what was this? From every side j .?1 niuou i'ioliv luiuis ixuu w intu tugtu, ttuu I the wolf was the centre of a savage ] ambuscade. He fought desperately, t but from the first his case was hopeless, t The beavers swarmed to the attack f Until fully fifty were there. The ma- 1 raudcrwas literally torn in pieces, and 1 . the water was covered with fragments i ' of hair and hide. 1 Love-Making in a Newspaper. ' There lives in New York said a recent importation from the East, a ' newspaper man who is a striking illustration of what love-making through the j papers may accomplish. He is now a grey-bearded man of leisure, but years and yeaA ago he was a struggling young \ editorial writer on a Western paper. He ! "Wrote with a good deal of earnestness ' on sentimental topics. Having con- j ceived an earnest, devoted, absorbing ' 1 lore for a young lady, and knowing that 1 she was greatly interested in certain . lines of work and thought, he managed ! to put his heart in his editorials for her j ' benefit I do not mean that he did not i 1 write for the public, but that lie wrote , for the public better because of the , warmth in his heart toward the woman 1 he loved. At the same time he was carrying for- 1 ward an ideal character in a scries of , sketches. He picturod this young lady j so plainly that many recognized her as the heroine of - his romance. But so tcqderly, so delicately was the character handled that any one might have felt flattered at all that was said. In fact the lady herself wap in'the habit of say- ! ing that she was content to be regarded j as the character so finely pictured. But ! in time the heroine was carried toward I . the hero of the story in a way to leave J % , open the question of her regard, and I .there the sketches were broken off. At ] this time the writer was the bluest man ; I ever saw. He told me that he had come to a ! crisis in his affairs. He had carried the > discussion in his editorials to a point where he was in danger of showing to the public his attachment to the ideal who nad inspired all of his work on that i*- 1J ? i ' * * * 1 line tie coum not tane uic story oi nis 1 sketches any further without hinting at a denouement that might be very offens- < ive to the lady who had been kind ' enough to be pleased with his picture of ' the ideal woman. There was only one ' way out of the trouble, nnd that was to 1 !v. . tell the object of his love how highly j 5 V he regarded her. He did this in one of j ^ the moat beautiful letters that I have x I any recollection of, and in six months his ideal woman was his wife.?Chicago filter- Ocean. To Make Drawn Butter. j "Drawn hllttnp" in an milr-Vi nanrt in vegetable cooking we give a rule fur it i . here: Into half a pint of boiling milk ' . stir u large spoonful of .butter, well blcn- I ded with a small spoonful of flour and a |;Y' tittle salt. Boil one minute and it is ^ - ready for use. This is a sufficient quantjty for any vegetable requiring it J&;v, for two persons. Experience and judgment will teach aH housewivea how Xo . make these dishetf richer if desirable. Cauliflowers can be bought in their! . seasons, at all prices, from a dime apiece I to six. shillings or more. The green leaves should sit be cut off quite close to the mil stalk, the rest tied in a clean i'* napkin, put into boiling water with a j&C. little salt and boiled twenty minutes, if of moderate size. Put blossom upward into a vegetable dish and pour the foresroimr reeioe for draw n butter over it. ||^ / White turnips cut in small squares, and KjPfr boiled half an hour, then cooked fo) ten minutes in the drawn butter are very ^nice. YellOw turnips should be cut into quarters or less, boiled one hour, and Hgjgfmashod, adding salt and a piece of butk>: -: ter. Change the boiling water once; Bp mod in the lastwa\e? put one teaspoon fill f' of sugar; this softens the strong odor gape and taste of this vegetable, and is an inj6||f ' Movement. White onionr (use only the gjfrjX ' silver skins") may be choked whole V-: and a piece of clear butter Vtl on them, With a little salt and pepper, or they may be coarsely chopped p>x* -"mcred Kk^'a-i lii water tih done (about hr.*' ?T '-..r.Tr), ?Biri and then cooked for ten minute longer fo tbe "drawn butter."

Pbo Trouble Is that !>Iany Klrh Qwqern Trent tbcir Ilorerfi I'nwlwly cr AI|ow Otbern to I)o'8o-Ulnttoi>9ii? RIaud 9. : "The gront trouble," aaid Mr. Robert Jonner, "is that So many men who are ible to buy tine stock do not know how heir horses should be taken care of, ind arc unable to "watch and see whether hose whom they employ thoroughly inderstand their business. 4'If a man sits all day at a desk and vrites, without taking exercise, he canlot cat half as much as a laborer who tandlcs a pick and shovel. It is just he same with horses. You take the lack horses that run around up at Tar3'towu, going half a mile in one direcion, two miles in another, and using up heir strength in climbing over those lills. They need from twenty to twentyour quarts of oats a day, and they would ;at even more if they could get it. But rotting horses, even in the trotting sca1011, will not eat on an average more kan twelve quarts a day; you can't nake them, because the work they do Iocs not wear away their strength as Iocs the slow plodding of the hack lorse. In this season of the year he trotting horses do almost nothing, ind if allowed to cat what they want to hey take on fat and get themselves into i very bad condition. "Now, take Maud S., for example. Well, she is a glutton, if ever there was >nc. As Hair said to me the other day, ilio was never known to leave around a noulhful of anything to eat. She would ;at twelve quarts of o:its a day now if I tvould let her, but I give her barely six quarts, and let her grumble to herself ibout mv stinginess if she wants to. As t is, she keeps in tine condition, just lice and right. If 1 let her cut her fill 'lie would get as fat.as a porpoise; and jven if nothing worse happened, I ihould have the hardest kind of work to ?et her back into condition when spring :omo around again. Of course economy >r any such idea as that has nothing to lo with it. When I give $40,000 for i mare I don't carc how much she eats, [f 100 quarts of oats a day would do her mv good I'd only lie too glad to give it 0 her. That is the great trouble with 1 man who has a fine animal; lie is ikcly to be too indulgent and kill tlic ii<|rse with kindness. Firmness :s what v man must have, no matter how much he may think of his horse. "Of course, there are exceptions to jvcry rule; some horses will not get fat, no matter how much you feed them. I'here is Kccnc Jim. a horse that I liought for $4,000, and, by the way, I wouldn't look at $10,000 for him now; poll can't get that horse fat, no niattei how much you may feed him. lie is a kind of horse that won't fatten, just like some men who arc always lean and lank, no matter ' how good a cook they liave. "One thing that may cause the loss of mnny valuable horses at this time of the year is ignorance, or carelessness, that results in their catching cold. Horses are exercised too violently, perhaps, and then allowed to stop and jjrow cold suddenly. That is all wrong; such treatment is likely to kill a man; and'it is just as .dangerous for a horse. After my horses are exercised thev arc warmly blanketed, and my boys lead them around my stables more and more slowly. A horse wants to cool off gradually and slowly, as the air does when the sun sets, not like a bottle of wine 3tuck into a freezer. And then, too, you can't be too careful in exercising iind driving horses at this time of tLe vear. They should be taken out every clay without fail when the weather permits, but be very careful. Tf you speed your horse in the face of a cold wind, ill that cold air pouring into his lungs is likely to injure him very much, and crivc him lung fever. And -even when it- lci finn vr*n nnn'f Kn faa onrnful o 1\r\i14 *-? ? *' v"' <-?? tlie surface on which your horse i? trotting. I wouldn't for $10,000 let Maud S. go out and fly for half a mile fit top speed on the hard roads of Central Park, and yet lots of men send their best stock flying over such roads 3aily. A man who knew anything and taw such a thing done would take the tiorse away from the driver and say he was crazy. The best chance yon can *et to drive in winter is on the soft mow. That won't hurt any horse. Onh l>e caroful and not drive them too much it first. The slipping of their feet before thev become accustomed to the ic.y nirfacc is very painful to the leers, and they should be worked up to it gradually."' A Remarkable Case. Details have been received of a remarkable occurrence in Yorkville, S. C. In 1875, James A. Watson, whos< family then resided in Yorkville, lost 9 child, aged four years, by death. A1 that time Watson was living in Baltimore as a teacher in the Bryant SadIcj Commercial College, and he could nol conveniently leave his business to attend the funeral. In his absence only a temporary burial was given the body, awaiting his return nomu to secure a permanent Duriai lot in the Cemetery.- Recently he went into the cemetery to remove his child. The buriala metallic casket, wai raised, from the grave, and a natural desire to look upon the face of tho child which had died and ^rr.? buried in th? father's absence, prompted Mr. Watson to ask for the removal of the lid covcrerincr the glass panel over the face. 1 list as the undertaker was about t< reir.o'-p the cover a loud explosion oc curred. shattering.the glass, which wai a quarter at: inch thick, into num berless frag.r-'-nt?. several of whiel struck Mr. Wavson in tho face, cutting him severely. One pieco struck th< bridge of his nose, cutting entire!} through it. The casket had been ou of the ground several minutcc when th< explosion occurred. Tho report wai equal to that of a dynamite cartridge and was noticed by persons on tfaii street, more than a qnnrtor of a mill distant. The face of the child was ii excellent preservation, as were also it burial clothes, and a wreath of flower on the breast seemed to bo nearly a fresh as * hen b art*d, tor and a hal years ago.
