"Way Depevf Is Not a Farmer. When Chauncey M. Depew was a boy he wanted to be a farmer, but his father advised him to go to college. Chauncey went one term to Yale and when he went home on a vacation he declared to his father that he still desired to be a farmer. So Depew senior seat the boy into the heyfield with a scythe on a hot day. One fore noon's work was enough for Chauncey, and when fall came around again he returned to college without a murmur. -Pittsburg Dispatch.

How Prairie Wolves Get an Antelope For Breakfast The prong-horned antelope is the swiftest animal on the plains, and yet che coyotes catch a good many of them just by running them down. This sounds like a paradox, yet it is quite true, and is explained by the cunning of the wolves and the habits of the antelope. A single coyote who under took to run down a single antelope would get tired and hungry before he accomplish ed much, but when two?r three coyotes ire together it is quite a different thing. The coyotes do not all run after the antelope together. They take turns, ind while one runs the others rest, ind so at last they tire the antelope out. If when it was started the anialope ran straight away, it would of course leave all the wolves behind, those that were resting even more than the one that was chasing it, but the antelope doe3 not run straight away. Instead it runs in large circles, and this enables the wolves to take turns when chasing it. When three or four prairie wolves decide that they want antelope meat for breakfast, one of them creeps as close as possible to the one they have selected, and then makes a rush for it, running as fast as he possibly can so os to push the antelope to its best speed and to tire it out. Meantime his companions spread out on either side of the runner, and get upon little hills or knolls so as to keep the chase in sight. They trot from point to point, and pretty soon, when the antelope turns and begins to work back. to wards one of them, this one tries to get as nearly as possible in its path, and as it flies by the wolf dashes out at it and runs after it at the top of its speed, while the one that has been chasing the antelope stops running and trots off to some near-by hill, where, while the water drips off his lolling tongue, he watches the race and gets his breath again. After a little the antelope passes near another coyote, which in turn takes up the pursuit. And so the chase is kept up until the poor antelope is exhausted, when, it is overtaken and pulled down by one or more of the hungry bruten. Of course the coyotes do not catch every ante lope they start. Sometimes the game runs such a course that it does not pass near any of the waiting wolves, and only the one that starts it has any running to do. %In such a case the pursuit is abandoned. Sometimes the intelope is so stout and strong that it tires out all its pursuers. It is a common thing for a coyote to chase an old doe with her kids just after the little ones had begun to run about. At that time they are very swift for short distances, but have not the strength to stand a long chase. In such a case a mother will often ?ay behind her young, and will try to tfght off the coyote, butting him with her head and striking him with her forefeet. He pays little attention to her, except to snap at her, and keeps on after the kids. Several times I have seen a mother antelope lead her little ones into the midst of a bed of cactus, where the wolf could not go without getting his feet full of thorns. If the bed. ls small the wolf will make fer ocious dashes up to its border, trying to frighten the little ones f*o that they will run out on the other side and he can start after them again, but usually the mother has no trouble in holding them.-Forest and Stream. A Coin That Has Disappeared. ^gUplrtrnumlsmatist, "w.13 issued in ^rezt sufficiency, the coins soon disap peared from circulation, and are held as rarities. They are seldom offered for sale, but those which have been of fered brought a large price- There are severa ltheories existing among coins experts as to the disappearance of this penny, being of the older style and large, but the most generally accepted is that the penny was gobbled up in consequence of a rumor which was started on the authority of an employe of the United States mint where the pennies were made. This rumo rwas that in making the composition of the metals for the coin a bar of gold was melted up by mistake for a bar of nick? el, and that the reason why the penny disappeared was in consequence cf it* intrinsic value. The result of this and other storie3 about the 1856 penny is that though there were just as many coined as there were of '54, '5!> or '57 pennies, one of the '56 pennle? will to day bring nearly one hundren t imes as much money as those of the other years mentioned. Some numismatists have even gone so far as to test the compo ! 3ltion. They found no trace of gold. i It is one of the many peculiar things about the scarcity of some coins." Washington Star. Fish Melted Out of Ice Alive. Frank M. Lindeman, an amateur scientist of Meadville, Pa., has doubt ed that a live fish, frozen into ice. would not die. He is now satisfied thai the fish will be alive when thawed out. A few days ago Mr. Lindeman took a I sunfish from his aquarium, put it in a ? tm pail and set the pail out of doors. . The next day the water wa3 found to have been transformed into solid ice The pail was placed in tepid water un til the ice was loosened ,and then the cake was placed in a large pan o? water, to be slowly melted. The pro cess was carefully watched by o num ber of men. In the course of two noun: the Ice was entirely melted and the fish appeared In its natural form, but still stiff. An hour later the fish began to show signs of life, and, although it appeared sluggish, it was soon swimming about in the aquarium as much alive as ever. --New York Press. id Pestles. now occupies its proper f the collector of relics ol ought to have besido d out pills like bullets, ? at the target of the a still ia evidence, and I everybody has tested gar coated pills.

AGRICULTURAL TOPICS OP INTEREST RELATIVE TO FARM AND GARDEN. CHOPPING' BEABINO ORCHARDS. It require? some extra profitable erop, and one that will itself pay for a good deal of mannre, to make the oropping of a bearing orchard pay. We have seen it done with both black berries a:al raspberries, both of which do well when partially shaded, and which wiil not suffer from drought, as do mont of the crops grown in or chards. On no account should grain crops be grown in the orchard, unless it be where young trees have grown to bearing size, but without produc ing a crop. Even, then, the result is better accomplished by sowing clover, to be grown for a year or two. American Cultivator. THE HOME DAIRY. If on every farm more attention is paid to the home dairy a better product of butter will be turned out and a greater yieid per cow will be realized. The better tho article the more sure the su-le, and the larger the yield por cow the greater the net profit. Never try to do dairy work with beef cattle. Nover trust alone to the pasture to supply the food. Be sure to have necessary conveniences of the best kind for securing the full quantity of butter fat from the milk. Every home dairy s'jould raise its choicest heifer calves, in order that the supply of good dairy cows may bo kept np. lt will pay for tho trouble and ex pense. Beside the ready 6ale at all seasons for good butter, the milk can bo utilized in many ways, and the droppings in the barnyard will be valuable as a fertilizer. Build up the homo dairy ou a t-trong basie. THE I UTURE OF HAY FARMING. The desire bo cultivate as much land ns possible in order to get the most possible from it has led to general neglect of meadow and pasture lands, says American Cultivator. Only when it was found that the soil had lost so much fertility that it would not pay for cultivating wa? it seeded down or left to grow up with 6uch herbage, both weeds and grass, as nature pro vided. The result is that mo3t of the land now in grass is by that very iact dis credited as being presumably tit for nothing else. Yet there is in all grass land a constant tendency to increase in fertility. It is so even when the land is left to grow up with weeds ond bushes. These shelter the surTace.and hold the leaves that fall on the land from being blown away. The decom position of these leaves gradually builds np soil, and to this must be added the excrement from animals fed on the herbage which the soil is still able to grow. Usually when the improvement of grass land is determined upon the sod to be turned under and rot is legarded as an important part of tho soil assets. Improving the land as meadow or pasture by manuiing it aud still keep ing it unplowed is hardly ever thought of. Yet as in most cases this grass land is, even with manure, not quite rich enough for profitable cropping, the experiment is worth trying of ap plying to it such manure as caa be had and see what the increased grass or hay product will bo worth. This is done successfully in Eng land. -Why may it not be also in the older parto of th fe country? Tue de mand for hay is generally good in all Eastern cries. Will it pay to fertilize grass HO os to make the growingj?Lbav^ ?prtBt?bT?'i^?^it~"w1?' hot pay to maintain fertility in grass land, tho logical sequonce is that all hay or grass taken from it helps to reduce the fertility so that the soil will bo worth nothing for the production of any kind of crop. It is likely that in tho future, as in the past, mo6t of the hay crop in this country will be produced in the years when the rotation between cultivated crops and grass requires that the land be seeded. Our climate ie notmoiBt like that of England. Hence .it cannot keep a good sod many 3 ears without plowing and reseeding. Thi6 also is so much the best for cultivated land that there need be no fear that the profits of cul tivated crops will so lessen the amount of land in grass that lhere will not be hay enough to feed with grain and coarser fodder, nor that it will fail to be supplied at reasonable prices. POULTRY NOTES. Anything that will make milk will make eggs. A red comb is the sign that the hen has eggs f jr sale. Some breeds are better for yon than others, but any of them are profitable if well cared for. Hens all laying, cocks all crowing. This is as it should be on every farm. How is it on yours? Bran, cut clover, ground oat? with hulls silted out, and n small amount of corn-meal makes uu excellent egg producing diet. The sale of pure bred poultry is steadily increasing in the Northwest, and no sectiou is more favorably situ ated for its development. A Wyandotte hen will increase in weight till she is three years old, and at any time will cook tender if in good condition when killed. The next time you are ia town ask thc batcher for some fresh bones. A block and a sharp hatchet or nx will put them in shape for egg-productiou ii' you have iio bone mill. Bed mites aro the worst enemy of sitting hens. Sometimes it is neces sary to ohange location of the nest entirely. Get ahead of thea by pre paring hens and premises beforehand. Select your very best hens for breeders. No matter if you have no pure-breds among thom, you can im prove by selection. But a pure-bred male will aid wonderfully in the work. Soft feed should be mixed in the morning in troughs that should bv> turned over or hung np when tho hens are through feeding. Do not feed soft feed where the hens can scratch straw and chaff into it. Russia exported 11,000,000 eggs in 1870, and 1,230.000,000 last year.' Tho eggs aro sold in Russia at from six to ten cents a dozen. They are exported to Hnugary aud theu sold to Germany as Hungarian eggs ; and finally go to England as German eggs. If you keep fowls give them a chance to pay their wav. Do not let it be your fault that they are not doing so. Good care end good blood will do this. If they are common stock only the addition of a pure-bred male will be one of the surest ways, and one of tho first steps to be taken. Germany, by the last census, has 52,279,091 inhabitants, an iucrease in five years of 2,851,481. Franco's popu lation hr.s iuoreased iu the sime time only 131.819, being now 38,22S,08'J.

In a first-class establishment a good maker receives from $12. to 315 per week; a trimmer from $20 to $30. 'This trade, once learned, is one which a woman may resume at any time in her life-should she marry in yon th and leave it, as so many women do leave occupations by which they have earned their maiden bread-since it may be pursued in her own home. Many "parlor" milliners earn vory-considerable incomes.-St. Louis Star. THE USE OP BIBBONS. Very rich and beautiful ribbons, in plain and fancy patterns and color ings, appear upon some of the richest and most beautiful Parisian models rfbw exhibited by leading city houses. Tho use of ribbon , this season are manifold, and there is hardly a dressy toilet without some touoh of ribbon ou the bodice at least. No matter what shirring, pleating, cording, mil liners' folds, lace, or passementerie are used elsewhere on the gc wn ; gathered girdles, braces, bow knots, plastrons, blouse effects, bolero fronts, stripes, niches, inserted puffs, and bands-all these and far more does ribbon sup ply. In Paris, wide oddly plaided and Pompadour ribbons are in great use. White and violet and white and vivid green plaids are used on silk, liberty satin, organdie, or coallie gowns, in colors to match. One more word re specting ribbons: lt is rery fashiona ble to wear a sash gong over one shoulder from the belt. Tt?o sash dis appears under the fold 2d-waistband, but a very large butterfly bow with upstanding loops marks its introduc tion. The ribbon reappears below the belt, and then falls low on the skirt under the huge bow. The so-called "Trilby" bow covers tho shoulder for several inches front and back ; and in many cases, on full dress evening toi lets, the satin or moire ribbon falls in three ends on each side, nearly to the waist.-New York Post. RARE EMBROID1?1?Y. Perhaps the most accomplished de signer and needlewoman in the world is Mme. St. George, who has charge of the classes in the Government Art School of Embroidery at Vienna. This institution is the glory ol the Austrian capital. The entire course of instruc tion, which is free, lasts five years, but many pupils leave after two or threo years, especially ladies who do not inteud to make art work a profes sion and are satisfied with knowing the rudiments of either lace work or embroidery, for every y ear has its special course. Every year's course has its special room and instructress, und the pupils cannot go from one to the other until the year tapiros. The pupils of the last year's course were busily mending a magnificent canopy, the work of Empress Maria Theresa. An idea m ny be formed of the magni tude of the task when il. ie said that ten girls under Mme. Ht. George's superintendence had been working at it for ten years already, and she ex 4??Cj?jLitwould take two years mere to complete"^-.---???ry . kind of -em broidery, including Peisian, IndianT" Japanese, Turkish, etc., is done here, and tho visitor is astonished to see tome beautiful samples of the "nan duty," or spider's web, made by the Gnarini women of Paraguay and rare ly seen in Europe. This lace is made of the fibre of the aloe and is so fine that it is made inside of tho huts, with the door shut, so that not the least breath of wind can touch it. MR3. ASTOR'S CHAIR COVERS. When Mrs. John Jacob Astor went to Genoa, Italy, a year ago, she left word that her chairs in the parlor, library, guest and sleeping rooms should be covered with a fine cretonne to preserve them from dust. There were 300 of them. A few days before sailing she revoked the order and sent for tho material. She also ordered that a "slip-cutter" be 3ent to her house. "Now," said she to the slip cutter, "I want you to measure these chairs and sew one cover. Then give me the patterns and we will make the remainder of the covers at home." The slip-cutter, though loth to lose so excellent a job for his establish ment, complied with the wishes of this industrious homemaker and sent the cut-out slips. Next day Mrs. Astor sat in her sew mg room personally superintending the making of the chair covers. With a small model upon a stand in front of her, she basted the covers and in structed her maids how to put them together. By that little economical move the wife of a millionaire kept her home Btaff emp.oyed and fitted ont her house with the prettiest of slip covers. They were so ornamental that they have remained upon the chairs ever since. To make covers for chairs-and many people desire to do so for a change as well as to save the more expensive covering-it will be found that the secret lies in the treatment of the edges. A strictly "tailor-made" look must prevail. With loose-threaded fabrics it is a good plan to run a mucilage brush, wet with photograph er's glue, along the raw ?dges before stitcaing. All the, sewi:ig must be done by machine.-Bostcn Herald. FASHION NOTE!]. Besides plenty of laco and ribbon large buttons matching the keynote of co'or will be used on the pretty cot ton frocks.

Burnt ivory combined with brilliants forms a pretty button. Skirts are not nearly so full at the sides and fronts as formerly, but are fitted with greater care. There are cunning devices for making skirts stand out well at the back. flexible steels are placed in the hems of tht skirts and sometimes about a quarter of a yard below the waist.

Cheney and His Frost Fish. State Fish Culturist A. N. Cheney tries to read everything bearing upon the subjects of Ash and fish culture, but hts busy life renders this next to im possible, and his family aid him all they can by marking in the exchanges sucn articles as might be expected to Interest the great fish expert. He tells this story of a recent experience: "If an item is not marked with pencil the papers may be ever so carefully ar ranged in consecutive order and con veniently placed, and yet I miss it. Very recently I was told that there was an article a.bout frost fish in one of the papers, and lt had not been marked, but I could easily find it in a certain paper of such a date, as the caption was, 'Frost Fish' in large letters. It was something past midnight whea I got to the frost fish business, and then I searched the file cf the particular pa per and searched it again without avail. The house was still and I final ly gave up the search and retired. The next morning at breakfast I remarked that I had searched for the frost fish, but could not find it, and In the future If articles were not marked I could not undertake to look for them, and the only time to mark an article was when the paper was In hand. My wife said she could find the item at once, 83 fdic knew exactly where to look for it. This she did, and handed me ?. paper containing two stiek3 cf matter headed 'Fish-Frost.' It proved to be a mar riage notice of Arthur Fish and Mary A. Frost, with a list of the persons present at the ceremony."-New York Mail and Express. . Test of a Cood Clock in Africa, In talking over the minute factors that have meant profit or loss to manu facturers, some curious details were given me by experts. For instance, one clock manufacturer of Waterbury, Conn., found that a certain rival was doing a large trade in cheap clocks sent out to the wilds of Africa. He got hold of a sample clock, and finding that there was a heavy profit on the enter prise, invested a large sum of money in making a still better clock, thousands of which were shipped to the same mar ket. Strange to say, sales were very slow, while his rival, turning out a cheaper and far less accurate timepiece, was selling all he could make. Final ly the explanation came. Savages like noise. The clocks made by the origin al exporter had a particular loud and aggressive tick; his imitator made a better clock, but it was almost noise leas, and the savages would have none of it. The remedy was simple. The next shipment of clocks to the Guinea coast ticked louder than anything pre viously heard there, and all went well. He Did Not Fill the Bill.

A few months ago she be Kin taUing Dr. Williums' Pink Pills for Pale People and hun buen greatly benefited by (heir use. She experienced a numbness and coldness In her limbs and at times could scarcely walk by reason ot poor circulation of the biood.

Y. ls Iron Displacing Wood ? The time will never come when wood can lose its merchantable value. There is hardly a utensil, a tool or even a machine in the constructiOE. of which wood has not played a part, were it only to furnish the aandle or the mold or i tern. For our means of trans portation we rely mainly on wood. Our 180,000 miles of railroad lie on not les3 than 80,000,000 wooden ties, and run over 2,000 miles of wooden trestles and bridges; they carry their freight in many million wooden cars and much of the millions of tons of freight is ship ped in wooden boxes, stored in wooden sheds. Ten million telegraph poles are needed to keep up communication be tween distant markets. Hundreds o' thousands of tons of wood pulp is used in the manufacture of paper. The for est furnishes the cooperage to market our vintage, to store our floe . and fruit. The forest furnishes the plow handle and harrow frame to cultivate, the threshing machine and windmill to prepare the crops, the cart to bring them to market, the bottoms in which they cross the ocean to foreign marts, and even the tar and pitch to keep the cargo safe One billion dollars worth of forest products is what we annually consume in the United States, but little less than one-half of the value of our entire agricultural production, and nearly twice as much as all our mines, quarries, petroleum wells, and mineral production of any kind put together, and more than ten time3 tb* value of our gold and silver mines So it will ba seen that the demand for wood may yet exceed the supply.-Atlanta Con stitution.
