J$fjr ohcek$, which onco had* been like the flushed petals of a rose, were white, and ber eyes, wblch used to be as beautiful as sapphire stones, wero weary. The queen, her mother, would watch her anxiously as sho sat propped up by satin pillows near the window looking out over the royal gardens. "Alas! Alan!" she would sigh to* her self. "If only something could happen to tnako my darling laugh and take the woarluews from her eyes!" Nbw, It chanced that out In tho gar don the king was having a new sum mer bouoo built. There ho himself Would stand somotiuies, directing his workmen, whilo his crown glittered in the sunlight But usually It was tho court chamborlalu. The little princess could hoar the sound of workmen's hammers and she rather liked to see the summer house growing there be fore her oyes. But even this entertain ment could not divert her long. She would turn her head Indifferently away, her cheoks white against the saUn pillows. Ono day, however, the funniest thing happened, ana she did not turn her head away! Princess Blue Byes saw a workman lay his stick of charcoal down beside jilin whilo he sawed tho piece off lum ber ho had Just marked. (In tho.se days even the king's workmen did not have load pencils!) When ho turned around to get bis charcoal It was not there. SO no borrowed a plcco from apother man, and when no bad marked bis board ho began sawing, it, laying tho charcoal down as before. Put When ho reached back bis hand for It? behold, It also bad vanished! Ue looked a bit perplexed and scratched his forehead, but Just then the court chamberlain came up, so bo began to nail the boards he had meas ured in placo. Taking a lot of nails from the pocket of bis working apron, he put them down within easy reach. Pretty soon ho looked around to get more nails, but? Ho Jumped straight up and scratched his head again. Not a sign of n Ringle nail! At the sight of the workman's per plexity little Princess Bluo Eyes, who had been watching tho whole perform ance, laughed aloud. Actually, she laughed aloud! The queon, wqo ant doing her flno embroidery work in. tqo next room, ran delightedly la to boo what had happened. "Ob, mamma, dear," cried tho little princess, with tho merry tears stream ing down her cheeks, "do come hero and sco the fun! Now, watch that man's cap." Sbo pointed to tho cap the workman had thrown down when he had Jumped up and begun to scratch his head. Of course the queen wondered what on earth the princess was talking about, but she did as tho princess had asked her and kept her eyes steadily on the cap. After the man had ques tioned the other carpenters, and scratched his head some more ho went to his work again. Then, when finally he hud turned his back on his cap, down from bis homo In n big oak a few yards off scampered a lively gray squirrel. Leaping upon his booty, he made a hold homeward dash and Ju another second, unpercelved by the carpenter, was chattering with delight upon the high limb of the tree. "What do you say, Blue Eyes?shall we arrest Miss Squirrel or shall we no tify the court chamberlain who the thief Is and have him warn his men?" The little princess was so much bet ter tho next morning that tho queon said sho was sure tbnt the laugh caused by tho squirrel's, pranks had dono her more good than all tho court physi cian's medicine. True enough, her skin began to take on the flush of rose petals again. Tho weariness, too, was vanished from her eyes, which were beautiful as sapphire stones onco more. -?New x*ork Tribune.

At any drug store. deeding and Fattening Cattle Tho practice or dehorning nniuiuls llnit nre t?? be put Into feed yards has como largely Into vogue during the Insi ten or Iffteon yours, it is gener ally conceded that, nil things consid ered, it is much more humane to do born then it Is to allow homed animals to run In the yards together, says Iowa Homestead. While the practice is com tuendnble, it is tho opinion of n num ber Of feeders with whom we have dis cussed the matter recently that It has been carried n little too fur. When all animals that are put into feed yards nre dehorned the tendency la for them to hunch together too much during fly time. In this way ani mals become too warm and conse quently will not make the gains that they otherwise would If they could he kept scattered. Their object, of course, in bunching together is to lessen the agony caused by (lies. Another disad vantage of close bunching Is that it frequently results in tramping out the grass and destroying the sod. Those who have tried it Und that by leaving horns on a few of their feed ers animals will thrive much better. Some prefer one animal in every half dozen horned while others claim that one In a dozen or fifteen Is plenty to keep them from bunching. There Is no question but that there Is something In this theory, and we offer it as a sug gestion at this time so that those who are raising animals extensively for block may be benefited thereby. Curl nur n Junininff Cow. Here Is a sure cure for the Jumping cow, says a correspondent in Rural New Yorker: Take a pole eight or ten feet long, tie n rope around It nearly In the middle, big end at the back, uud have the rope fast to a halter on the now it woiiks. cow. Fasten the rope to the pole, so when the cow lifts up her head nud walks alone the back end of the pole will drag on the ground and the for ward end will lift up. When she comes to the fence, the end of the pole will run under the fence and hold her head down. She cannot Jump. Dried Ulotxl For C'nlvcM. The Kansas experiment station in reporting upon feeding dried blood as a preventive of scours says: "Dried blood is not only good for a weak calf, but Is an excellent remedy for any calf subject to scours. With the seventy head of young calves un der experiment ivt the Kansas station during the past year there has not been a sluglc case of scours that dried blood has failed to check. "In feeding dried blood a teaspoon ful at a feed Is a great plenty. This should he continued until the scours disappear. In case of a weak calf the allowance may bo gradually increased to a tablespoonful at n feed." To prevent the dried blood from set tling to the bottom of the pall, whore the calf will be tumble to get it, it may be stirred in the milk while the calf is drinking, or tho iullk and blood may bo fed immediately after beiug thorough ly mixed. "Since dried blood is stich a cheap and effective remedy, it will pay any one who raises young calves by hand to have a little available whenever n palt shows signs of disorders in its di gestive tract." Baby Beef Production. When feeding for baby beef, the feeder can use mixed bred calves that havo boon raised on creamery skim milk and whole milk. It Is a saving to vac cinate the calves early so as to prevent blackleg. Feed the calves twice dally, morning and evening. Feed In lots In the suino order each time and exactly at tho Same time each day. The hours of feeding should be arranged so that tho calves will do all the work of oatlng In daylight. Feed them what grain and roughuKO they will out up clean within three hours after feeding. Mix the grain with the roughage and feed W.hole. Keep salt in boxes under tho ajbeds where the calves can have freo access at all times. The calves can bo sheltered with a common board shed, cloeed on the north and open on tho south aide. Water should he supplied In tanks xegulated by flout valves ho that tho [tanks are kept full und the calves can drink at will. If the weather is cold, It in best to keep a tank heater going In each tank so as to keep the water nt n temperature of about 40 degrees. (Farm and Home. Tuberculin Tout. A foreign paper presents statistics to show that out of 41,088 nnlmals Im ported from Denmark Into Germany 9,008 which passed the tuberculin tost were found to be diseased when slaugh tered. This means that the tuberculin lest was totally unreliable, for In over ?0 per cent of the cases It failed to de fect the disease. Such figures are open to grave doubt, saya Stockman and Farmer. In competent hands the test hns not shown any such perccntngO of error in this country, in fact, It has failed in few cases. The chief failuro of the test Is that It makes no distinc tion between encysted and harmless bodies of tubercular matter and actlvo and dangerous ones.
