Brown—I don't understand it. When I gave my lawyer the facts in the case be decided it in five minutes. Jones—Well? Brown—Well, when it got into the Courts it. took the Judge three weeks to decide the same points, and lhey,de- cided the other ways BETTER QUALIFIED. Mr. Parsells—No, sir; I want amar- ried man for this position. Mr. Tiddy—T assure you, sir, I have the hest, of references. Mr. Parsells—That isn't it. I often have work to do after hours: I don't want a man who is always in a hurry to get. home. ENVY. Mr, Tuppy—That Miss Smith has a lovely face. Doesn't it remind you of some sort, of flower? Mrs. Tuppy coldly—Yes; hut. I don't recall the brand. A girl's frame of mind has less to do with her reflections, than the frame that holds her mirror. 011 the Farm. ij MEAT AS AN EGG RATION. With hens in confinement, more than one poultry -raiser is finding it utterly impossible to feed sufficient meat to keep up the egg record, with- out at the same time bringing illness into the flock, inducing a loss of a number of the best hens writes a cor- respondent. This loss comes in two ways, partly through indigestion and liver troubles, partly through ovarian difficulties. It is always the best hens that suffer from these last, which means, those who have been stimulat- ed to lay the most eggs. Those that suffer from indigestion may be those with the weakest constitution, those AO the most voracious appetites. In our own yards, we have more loss from these two troubles than from all others combined. It is not a question whether or not meat brings eggs; one can run the egg record up or down at will, by the use or disuse of meat. The question is, Is the gain great enough to pay a pro- fit after deducting the loss caused by overstimulation? Is it judicious to feed hens meat continuously from ear- ly babyhood ? Or to put it more dis- tinctly and definitely how long can one keep fowls in health while feeding meat, say at the rate of a quart a day to seventy-five hens? This is rather close to two-fifths of an ounce per hen, daily. It is pretty generally known, I sup- pose, that charooal and a liberal sup- ply of green stuff will overcome, in considerable degree, the ill effects of the concentrated food.. But is it jud- icious to raise chicks on charcoal, and to feed hens on charcoal, as long as we keep them? is it not the fact that a large number of them are ex- tremely liable to contract disease un- der this treatment during the second year that largely leads to the oft - repeated injunction, to sell off the hens at the end of their first year of lay ing? It is -to be understood that the word "meat" in this connection means meat- u.eal, or dried scrap. Doubtless there is some difference in the various grades of these products, as to the ffect produced on the digestive tract. 'the more concentrated they are, the more valuable, from one point of view; but also the more dangerous. 1 have never yet seen meat fed daily to a flock of fowls without inouctug, after a greater or less period, disturbance of the digestive tract, which show first as diarrhoea, and afterwards run on into recognized liver trouble, usually to end in death if the treatment is persisted in. I think there is no manner of doubt, in spite of the apparent high price of cut clovers and ground meats, that they are really among the cheap- est of feeds. I am led to this ,conclu- sion independently from the fact that farmers who fed mostly grain, and whose grain average them less than two-thirds what mine costs me, invari- ably give a larger estimate of the cost of feeding a. hen par year than my own carefully -kept accounts show. But there are a number of other feeds which are high in nitrogen,and per- haps less expensrve than meat, and which, it seems to me, might more safely be used. Among these are lin- seed meal, malt sprouts, and the glut- en feeds. But actual cheapness is partly a matter of first cost, partly of availability, partly of results in egg -basket and physique. ENSILAGE. Ensilage is considered the cheapest of all foods for cattle, and corn can be grown for ensilage later in the season than for grain, as the ensilage corn can be cut at any time should danger of frost appear, though it is more valuable when cut at that stage, dur- ing which the oars of corn are glazing. Some farmers drill their corn in, and begin to use it as green food in sum- mer at any period of growth, especial- ly if the pastures are deficient, but the younger the corn fodder the more water it contains and the less nutri- tion. An enormous amount of ensilage or green corn fodder, can be grown on an acre, and, as it must be cut up fine before it Le packed in the silo, it is always ready for use in the winter season. A ton of ensilage in the silo occupies about 50 cuoic feet, the space required for a ton of hay being 500 cu:iic feet. A silo, therefore, will hold ten times as much food in the form of ensilage as the barn lift will of hay. This is due to the fact that the ensilage is pressed into the small- est space possible in order to exclude the air. .Baled h y, however, o. oupies much less space than does loose hay, but some kinds of hay will not keep/ ha good condition for a length of time if baled. Dry corn fodder is even more bulky than hay, and takes up a larger space, for which reason a large pro- portion of the dry fodder eerop is shocked in the tilde and eexposed to the weather, its value being lessened as the winter progresses. Ensilage has the advantage of being succulent, af- fording the animals a change from dry food in winter, but so fax as actual nutrition is concerned, it is not as valuable as hay. APPLES PICKED BEFORE TIIEY ARE RIPE. Buyers are largely responsible for the picking of apples before they are ripe says a veteran buyer. Recently I undertook to buy a carload of apples and had to buy 260 barrels in order to get 100 good ones by repacking. I asked the man from whom I bought them why there was so much inferior fruit and he replied that be bought the orchard as it. ran, so much for everything on the trees. He lost 50 to 60c. on every barrel. As long as dealers will buy in thiS manner and allow any kind of picking, the losses will be great and there.wil I be much green and inferior fruit, thus reducing the price to the grower. For this reason I insistupon proper grad- ing in my own case. Them le certain- ly much room for improbement in most sections. The packages should be uniform whether they bo barrels or baskets, and the apples must be near- ly of a. size. If everything is neatly done there will be no diffilculty in dis- posing of all our surplus apples. CORN AS HORSE FEED, Why are oats preferred to corn as feed for horses? it is never the object to fatten a horse for market, though it should be in excellent, nondition at all times. Oats contain more protein than corn, and lees starch, but oats contain fully as munh oil (or fat) as corn, about 4 per cent, but the propor- tion of 011 is too small to render eith- er grain unfit for horses. It is the starch in the corn that produces fat on an animal. Corn contains nearly 69 per cent, of starch and oats about 45 per cent. Having more protein than corn, and less starch, oats are there- fore more suitable for horses. An- other point in favor of oats is the mineral matter, oats containing about 3 per cent, while corn contains only one-half as pouch. t is this greater proportion of mineral matter and pro- tein in oats which places that grain ahead of corn for young stock, as the mineral matter supplies the lime of the bones. Protein is the muscle -pro- ducing material in foods. For cows giving milk a ration of both oats and corn, ground together, should give bet- ter results than either, and if bran is addedthe amount of protein and min- eral matter will be further increased. HORSES' TEETH, When a horse does not appear to thrive, as he should, on his food, • and the most careful observation fails to account for his condition, it is wises to have his teeth carefully examined, es- pecialty the basila. -jaw teeth or molars. An irregularity of the_e is often the uninspected source of the evil. The molars occasionally wear irregularly, sometimes the upper border overlap- ping the external surface or the lower, while the internal surface of the low- er rises to a corresponding height within the mouth. In such cases sharp points are found where the wear has been sligbtest, and these ronghnesses lacerate the imide of t h 3 cheeks and cut the sides of the tongue, so that'masti- cation is performed not only with dif- ficulty, but with pain. The conse- quence is that the food is not ;properly prepared for the stomachand passes through it without assimilating to a full extent its nutritive principles. SUMMER SMILES.

Mr. Hiram—What do you mean? Mrs. Hiram—I'm just curious to see what Bridget would do with them. She—So you love me for myself alone. and you will never have eyes for any other woman while I live? He—Yes, I swear it 1 She—Sorry, but I don't think I could live happily with an eccentriei man. Tiddiwinks.—T say Flutter, Grogan is looking after you. He says he owes you a licking.

Hitherto workmen and others who had to bear very strong white light in their work or profession have been in the habit of wearing blue glasses to relieve their eyes from the possibility of being blinded. This is the caro with sailors who operate the powerful searchlights that are now so necessary an adjunctto the war vessels and com- mercial ernft, especially if their eyes happlen to las blue or gray. Butre- cently it bas been demonstntted that yellow -colored glasses will serve their purpose better, and it le expected that they will be used hereafter. GOLD FROM THE KLONDIKE A STEAMER FROM ST. MICHAELS AT VICTORIA, B.C. Three Millions 1n Gold ou Board -How the Milers Guarded Their Treasure -Soule of the Luchy Ones Bags of Gold Too Heavy to LIt't. The golden stream still pours into the city from the far northern gold fields. Early this morning, says The Victoria, B. C., Times on Wednesday, the steameie Manauense, Captain Ed- wards, came into port with colors flying, for, according to Purser Rich- ards—and this statement is verified by many of the passengers and other offi- cers—she brought in the neighborhood of $3,000,000 in gold and paper on the commercial companies and outside banks. There was, the purser said, over one and a quarter millions in the yellow dust and nuggets on board, the safe in his office being filled from top to bottom with bags of all sorts and sizes belonging to the lucky men. B.e sides this big showing there were num- bers of the fortunate men who refused to allow the. gold out of their hands. In many staterooms were couples, trios and quartettes, who, in turn, stood guard over the gold, one being always with it. In several instances the min- ers never left hold of the handles of the gold laden valises and bags save when asleep, and then they slept with the gold for a pillow and a loaded we- volver within reach. A SIGHT TO REMEMBER. The Manauense, as she came into the wharf, was a sight to remember. Her decks ware thronged with the rough- ly -dressed but apparently happy crowds of miners—there were 260 in all. As the vessel tied up, the miners, hungry for news, asked a thousand and one ques- tions about the war, but even this all - absorbing subject could not keep them still when the gang plank was run out. As soon as the way was clear the be - whiskered throng—for all grow beards in the Klondike—hurried ashore. Some were carrying rolls of blankets, some tin boxes, some valises andgrips so well filled with gold that it was all they could do to carry them. In some instances couples were noticed with leather bags and tin boxes that were more than one man could lift, on poles after the manner of Chinese pedlars. The usual nervous crowd, who imagine every man in sight was eager to steal their treasure, were also noticed, and in direct contrast were the little groups who threw their gold -laden sacks in an express waggon es they would a roll of blankets. One man, a cool -looking Irish -Canadian, was sitting down on the wharf with about a hundred pounds of the yellow metal in a bright yellow valise, such as might be carried by a Hebrew drummer, trying to fix the handle, which had torn loose owing to the weight of the contents. An excited crowd stood around watching the oper- ation and asking question after ques- tion about the gold, but the patching was continued in a most matter of fact manner. Tho work completed, the min- er staggered down the wharf to a hack with his load of wealth. SOM.E OF THE LUCKY ONES. Purser Richards furnishes the follow- ing partial list of some of the lucky ones, and an estimate of the wealth brought out by them :— F. Neaves Michael Traynor, Victoria. . 110,000 H. Doser, Seattle 117,000 Louis Paulus, Seattle. . . 400,000 N. Blackmore . . 150,000 T. Rogers, Seattle. . . . 650,000 b'. Van Bibbcn. . . . 300,000 C. Steple ns, Seattle. . . . . 150,000 The purser could not remember more of the lucky men, but be says there are, besides these, crowds with from $10,000 to $60,000 in their possession. It is most difficult to get the passen- gers to talk of their gold. for none will discuss that ; they will talk of all other matters and of the wealth of others, but, as to themselves they are always silent, and to the interviewer are al- ways ostensibly poor men. Neaves, who is credited by the purser and a num- ber of passengers with being the rich- est man of the crowd, will not admit that he brings out anything worth talking about. °'1 have a small bag," he says, "but not much." Many on the wharf tried to lift the "small bag," but failed. 'What I am hinging out is not mine." On the Manauense were a number of residents of this city. Among them was Lionel C.

Barff was the only man of this party to reach Dawson, the others having returned when the company broke up on the trails. He says he has secured a claim and brings out a little money, but he declines to discuss the whereabouts of his property and the extent of his riches. A LIVELY CORPSE. Another Victorian who came out was W. Gillespie. aforetime mate of the C. P. N. steamer Maude. He is out to say that the reports of his death were exaggerated. He says if he oan find the man who spread the report thea man will find him a verylive corpse. Mr. Gillespie says tt the Yukon official is out for the money all the time. Before Major Walsh arrived it was money for this, pay for that; the miners were obliged to be paying for something all the time. He has scour- ed a mining property on Hunter Creek. Mr. Gillespie says Laley was at St. Michael's when the Manauense left, being crowded off her. They will come down on the Danube. Brown has it$20,000. Miners who came down. notwith- anding their successes, say that $$things are none too bright In Dawson, and, according to a rumor, there are now over ten thousand men on the way down the river in small boats. People are leaving Dawson in hundreds. The streets are filled with idle men, for work is much overcrowded. The majority of the passengers of the Manauense came down the river in the river steamers, J. J. Healy, Mer - win, Alice ane Margaret, the hast to reach the mouth of the river. The Healy arrived ,lust ttvo weeks ago, 1 he day the steamer sailed for this port. She left Dawson on July 12th, and re- ports that the Jiver is rapidly falling and ruany of the bars are difficult to cross. Much suffering is said to exist along the lower Yukon, many little groups of stranded minerswhn are without funds and provisions, being seen at points along the river. GLOOM AT ST. MICHAEL'S. At St. Michael's things are looking extremely black, and everything points to trouble in the near future. The pas- sengers who went up on the steamer Progresso are in a very bad fix. The men of the commercial companies re- fuse to allow them to go ashore and the steamship company owning the ves- sel are unable to take them up the riv- er, having lost the river steamers which were to have takep the passengers to Dawson. Many of the passengers who have funds have trans -shipped to some of the river steamers, but the greater number sere stranded on the ocean vessel. The situation is indeed a pre- carious one, for when the Manauense sailed the provisions on board the Pro- gresso had all but given out, and when the supply fails trouble is feared. 'i'he agent of the company owning the steamer, who went north on the Pro- gresso, fearing that he would be bad- ly treated by the passengers, bas fled, and, according to report, he was a pas- senger on the steamer Philip Nelson. The beach, too, is crowded with strand- ed miners, and those who intended to have been miners, Many who have drifted down the river have not suffi- cient money to pay their fare south, and there they remain, waiting for something to turn up. The City of St. Michael's is a strange place. It is solely a city of tents, the buildings there, outside of those own- ed by the commercial companies, be- ing very few. Again, its population is very transient. One day the place is thronged and again a short time af- terwards it is a city th a sparse population. The two commercial companies will not allow any of the ocean liners or river steamers that are not doing busi- ness in connection with them, to land at their wharves. Passengers and. freight on the ocean boats must be trans -shipped in the stream, and the river steamers not connected with the company must laird their passen- ers at, points all along the shore. Coughs and colds need not be endured; they can bo cured, and that quickly. Many mixtures are tem- porary in effect, but Scott's Emulsion of Cod-liver Oil with Hypophosphites is a permanent remedy.

While at Dutch Harbor. which port was called at on the way down, the Manauense's officers learned that the Moran fleet had been all destroyed and were lying in piles of firewood along the barren Alaskan coast. , 1 POINTED PARAGRAPHS. The rolling wheel gathers the punt. tures. Some things in moderation are worse than others in excess. Some men resemble dice—easily rate tled but hard to shake. Nothing curdles the milk of human kindness like indifference. There are times when the brave de- serve immunity from the fair. There is nothing quite so uninter- esting as a human phonograph. A homelike hotel is the kind the av- erage man always tries to avoid. The road to happiness and the road to misery frequently run parallel.
