Where .,
are any number of calves
to be raised by lie,nd it is bast to
prepare a set of movable stanch-
ions. These are quickly made from
one by 'four -inch lumber, and where
they are movable they can be
changed from place to place to suit
the convenience off the feeder.
,After the calves are in 'tile
stanchions it is an easy matter to
dish out a quantity of milk- to each
individual without continually be-
ing pestered by the others.
After they all have their milk they
should be provided with finely
ground cornmeal in troughs or
boxes, they will soon form a habit
of taking their chop after each
meal and so forget about the awful
habit of ear -sucking.
When they have finished their
meal they should be turned out on
a meadow or alfalfa field to exer-
cise and -they will soon begin to nib-
ble grass and so get extra nourish-
ment.
The :nein
object in raising g
calves
is to keep them continually grow-
ing. It is easier to put on a pound
of gain when they are young than
when they are older.

Besides whitening the skin itis
probable that abundance of salt in

whole body plump. When a per-
son eats salt freely the result is
that the blood, skin, muscles, etc.,
retain a great quantity of fluid,
Hence the effect on the face would
be to make it fall and. rounded,
But it should be eaten with judg-

h,��ti-rr""'"rrrrri'Lt,ulu��4llu rw
The six -o'clock bell, had rung,
and tho clerks at Munger & Ath-
wold'-s were putting away the stock
that lied been left on the counters..
Two young clerks, Harry and Wal-
ter, friends and repent comers to
the store, worked at the same coun-
ter. When the last box had been
put in place, Walter turned and
began to study the labels on the
rows of boxes on the shelf,
"What are you doing, Walt?"
asked Harry, with languid interest,.
as he drew on a pair of new gloves.
Harry was good-looking, and he
knew it, and he had spent all that
he had earned, so far, on clothes.
Once or twice he hacl seen Mr. Ath-
wold himself looking over with
what he thought was an approving
glance, and lie had remarked confi-
dentially to Walterthat"it paid to
keep well-groomed. The manage-
ment wasn't likely to promote a
clerk whose looks were not a credit
to the store."
Walter understood the insinua-
tion. Nature had not gifted him
with good looks. Moreover, he had
a widowed mother to support, and
he had to wear a suit that was not
exactly shabby, but that was far
from new.
Now Harry had to repeat his
question before Welter answered.
"I'm going to study stook a few
minutes, I don't know just where
everything is, yet."
Harry laughed a contemptuous
little laugh. "You don't catch 'dist
chile' studying stock after hours.
If you don't know where a thing is,
ask somehody else. That's my
motto."
Things went on as usual for the
nest three weeks. Then one day
Mr, Athwold walked down the
aisle. He stopped at the counter
where the two friends stood, and
asked Harry to wait on him.
"Will yon show mo some pajam-
as?" he said.
"What size 7" asked Harry.
Mr. 41th1vold appeared to hesi-
tato. "I really have forgotten
what size I do wear. What size
would you suggest?"
Harry had no suggestion to offer.
"Let me see the largest size you
have," Mr. Athwold said, finally.
Harry pulled out several boxes,
and began to rummage through

them.
Then he turned
"Say, Walt, are there any larger
sizes thiln: these in stock?"
Walter put his hand instantly up-
on the size desired.
Mr. Athwokl cho.se.•a sitit, and
then asked to see some hose, size
11%. Harry hunted aimlessly for a
Minute or two, but could not .fled
any half -sizes. He called upon
'Walter again, and Walter imme-
diately found ,the right box.
Next Mr. Athwcld asked for a
pair of extra -length suspenders,
then for some collars of a shape
that differed a little from the kind
usually Bold, and finally for gloves
with cadet fingers:- In not a single
instance could Harty find the arti-
cle desired. But Walter got it with
a promptness that showed how per-
fectly he knew the stock.

"What's up ?" asked Harry, cur-
iously.
Walter told him. He had been
promoted to the position of head
clerk, with a substantial raise .in
salary,
Harry's face fell, "You 1" he ex-
claimed. "Why, he almost prom-
ised that to me. He told father
three weeks a'go that Jerrold was
going to leave, and that I was in
line for promotion. But that's just
it," he added, with easy philoso-
phy. "You can't put any depen-

The death of that oelebreted;old

it is to him that Britain owes the

Burnie and the dethronement of

Harry himself has told many stor-
ies, His massacre of ..seventy or
eighty members of the toyer family -

ed to be beyond donbb•'
"But this," said Sir Harry, "was
tttrictly in aecoi'danoe with the tra-
ditions of his position, and proba-
bly any of his predecessors would
have behaved exactly in the same
way. The massacre was strictly a
measure 01 apolitical preolttttioi."
The surrender of Theetaw ftt
