God's supply trains are never behind time a minute. The devil gets a good deal of help from the stingy moi. Whatever sin has caused iu others it may cause in us, Heart work cannot be paid for in. money. God can do most for the one who trusts him most. The good do not die. They rest in God. Succ• SS is sure in any work when we have God for our beginning. Keep your heart shining and you will soon have a face to match it. One of the greatest foes the devil ever had is a Christian mother. Keep yourself under the blood of Christ and God will keep you safe. There are hymns of praise in every Christian heart that cannot be written. To do all the good we can itt life, we must not let a clay pass without doing some. If we are faithful in the face of seem- ing defeat, God will see to it that we have victory. The man who is anxiots to de right may depend upon it that God wants to help him. Stub Ends of Thought. Envy is culpable selfishness. A. man is known by the eompany be keeps. A woman's conscience lives in her heart. True charity does not give what is ask- ed but what is needed. Lawyers work in the cause of justice; doctor- ixi the eause of mercy. A woman is not really beautiful until she is beautiful to a blind Irian. Time is that part of etity allowed us to make a fair showing in the remain- der. Too many good people expect pie when they say : "Give us this day our daily bread." A man may not eat his cake and have it, but some men eat theirs and then do what they can to have that of other peo- ple. Healing Properties in Ashes. Some of the best known physicians in Russia are strongly advocating the- adop- tion in the government hospitals of an old Cossack custom of treating cuts and wounds with ashes, says the New York Sun. The Cassock peasantry have treated cases in this fashion from time immemor- ial, and Dr. Parshkoff, a Russian physi- cian, who has been studying the treat- ment, recently said in an interview in a Russian medical journal : "I strongly re- commend the treating of severe cuts and wounds with ashes. Experiment has con- vinced me of the thorough efficacy of the treatment, and, in addition, it is cheap, takes little time to arrange, and does away with bulky bandages, which have always been the bane of nurses and phy- sicians. The best ashes are those result- ing from the burning of some cotton stuff or linen, and only a very thin layer should be applied. If the wound has been made by some dirty instrument and there is danger of blood poisoning, it should be first washed thoroughly with a lotion. The ashes with the blood forms a hard substance, under which the most severe cuts heal -with remarkable rapid- ity." Dr. Pashkoff has experimented with ashes on twenty-eight eases of eute, and only two of the entire number failed to result successfully. These eases would have been cured too, had not the nurses failed to apply prescribed lotions to the wounds before the physician took them in charge. It is extremely probable that the ashes treatment will be adopted in the St. Petersburg hospitals before long. PUSSY FOD 01111' SWIMMING. A. Philadelphia Gat That is Also An Expert at Catching Fish. There is in the Philadelphia zoo a little house, near that occupied by the reptiles, which is one of the most interesting and yet least frequented, probably, of the buildings. One of the curious animals in it isa cat. It doesn't seem to be a particularly wonderful cat, but it is. Perhaps no animal is as much afraid of water as a feline, unless it is a school boy. Yet this cat in the zoo delights in water, It eau swim like a dog and dive like a processional diver. If is this wild state, while it went swimming along the stream, it spied a fish darting along underneath it, splash the cat would go head first after the fleeing ,fish and would soon emerge with it in its mouth. Then it would swim to the bank, climb a tree and make a cull lunch of the fish, When it was through it would pink its teeth with the bones sod go swimming out for more. This cat rejoices in the name of Felix. It lives on fish, principally, although it has degenerated to such an extent that it will eat other things. Felix has a yearning for rain, One day there was a leak in the roof over the cage next to his and the rain came dropping down on his fellow captive's back. This animal howled, be- cause it objected to being in a perpetual shower bath, and Felix was mad because he thought he was being unjustly dis- oriminated against. He hurled himself against the bars of his neighbor's cage and called for blood. The other oeeu- pants of the building were surprised, They took sides -with one or the other and joined in the howls of protest. The keepers did not know what was the matter at first. F?naily they saw Felix trying to get his tail vet in his neighbor's cage, and then they comprehended. But instead of cheupinee the cage so that both would be satisfied they stopped up the leak. Felix is a mild sort of an animal, at d when he is not trying to drown him- self he crawls up in a heap and sleeps. He came from Africa originally, where it is said that ha was the champion long distance swimmer of the neighborhood. His only rival choked on a fish bong at a banquet one day, and thus gave him a clear title to first place. Remember that while God's eye is on the sparrow he will not forget his child. No matter what appearances may be the road God pointe ant is always the best. Every s'nful pleasure kills a real bless- ing that God wants to have dwell in the heart. We lose nothing by going it.to the fiery furnace, when we go there for Ohrist. If our faults were written on oar faces, how quick we would all hang our heads.

Has anyone ever starved because he got a stone from G•od when he asked for bread? He Was Not a Dude. While walking along Third street one day a reply made by a youngster set a re- porter to thinking what a strange mixture a street gamin is. The rain was coming down in perfect torrents ; the umbrella, the newsman car- ried afforded Little protection, and before him walkedthisyoungster of ten or twelve perfectly unconeerned. Thinking to do him a kindness the re porter asked if he was going in his direc- tion and invited him to Dome and get out of the wet under his umbrella. The fellow stopped, and sticking his hands deep within the pockets of his rag- ged trousers looked Up. The rain slowly tricklei down his checks, seeming like tears; his lips were blue 'with cold, but with as solemn a face as e ohild of his years mold put on, he replied : "Say, dus yese take me fur a dude ? I ain't a baby. I can swim." ,:,Courtesy Begins at Horne.

Don't snub a boy because he wears shabby clothes. When Edison, the in- ventor, first entered Boston he wore a pair of yellow linen breeches in the depth of winter. Don't snub a boy because of the ignor- ance of his parents. Shakespeare, the world's poet, was the son of a man who was unable to write his own name. Don't snub a boy because his home is plain and unpretending: Abraham Lin- coln's early home was a log cabin. D .n't smile a boy because he chooses an humble trade. The authar of the "Pil- grim's Progress" was a tinker. Don't snub a boy because of his physi- cal deformity. Milton was blind. Don't snub a boy because of dullness in his lesson. Hogarth, the celebrated paint- er and engraver, was a stupid boy at his books. Don't snub a boy because he stutters. Demosthenes, the great orator of Greece, overcame a harsh and stammering voice. Don't snub him for any reason. Not only because he may some day outstrip you in the race of life, but because it is neither kind, nor right, nor Christian. A Clever Retort. That was a clever retort which a labor- er once made to Lord Chancellor Camden of England. It appears tbat in conse- quence of the interest which the Lord Chancellor took on behalf of Wilkes, he became so popular that the parishioners of Chiselhurst, where he resided, made him a present of ten acres of common. His lordship, who was a very early riser, was the first to discover, in one of his morning walks, that a poor widow who resided on the common had all her geese stolen during the previous night. He chanced to meet a laborer going to work, and thinking from being wrapped up in his great -coat that he was uiiknown to the man, he inquired of him respecting the geese, and asked him if he knew what punishment would be inflicted on the of- fender who stole the geese from the com- mon. The man answered, "No." "Well, then," said his lordship, "he would be transported for sev' n years." "If that is the ease," replied the labor- er, "I will thank your lordship to tell me what punishment the law would inflict on the man who stole the common from the geese." -From Harper's Young Peo- When You're a Bride.

Ile stood Out For Acquittal "I saw a man seven iron life imprison- ment or hanging once by the one wise than on a jury, who stoon out against eleven fools," said T. J. Stec hens, of'Bal- timore, at the Laclede. "The man was found, standing over a dead body in a field with a knife in his hand and blood smeared over his clothes. He swore he had found the man lying dead and had drawn the knife from the wound, where the murderer had left it sticking. It was shown that the men were enemies and that the accused had even threatened re- peatedly to kill him. On this and other, circumstantial evidence eleven of the jury were for conviction. The foreman alone stood out, and so steadfastly that at length, one by one, the others joined him, and the prisoner was acquitted. Many thought the man guilty, and he finally left the country because of the cold shoulder he got from old friends. Years afterward, when the foreman of the jury was dying, ho acknowledged that he kill- ed the man himself. It was in self-de- fence, but he had no' witness to prove it. When the innocent man was arrested he managed to get on a jury, determined to save him, and lee said if he had been un- able to do so otherwise he would have told the truth." Something for Girls. I am not one of those people who fancy it a dreadful thing for boys and girls to be friends. Why should there be any question on the matter ? I am sorry when I notice, as I do once in a while, a tendency on the part of a girl to blush and simper and look conscious when boys are around. This is very silly indeed, and no sen,;ible girl does it. Boys and girls should bo comrades, and should meet and know each other in a simple natural fashion, as brothers and sisters do. Now that winter is here with its chances for out -door sport -skating, sleighing, tobogganing, and whatever else winter brings in its train, the young people of a neighborhood ought to have many delightful outings in common. And if, as is often the the case; the sons and daughters of certain families are in school together, side by side in recita- tions, there is all the more chance for their having fun when school is over. Jack is apt to be polita to Jill if she has helped him out in bis arithmetic. Do you remember Whittier's pretty stanzas about the school -house and the little scene he recalls? - "I'm sorry that 1 spelt the word, I hate to go above you," Never, dear girls, indulge in anything which has an air of mystery in your deal- ings with boy friends. Let the walks and talks and drives be open and under the eye of your older friends, and you will find that the breezy, bright companion- ship o a clever boy will be a thing worth having. Sisters should look out for their broth- ers in countless little ways. A sister can make home so pleasant and cheery that her brother will prefer it of an evening to any other place. She may take pride in having her brother's escort when she goes about, and even if she does not par- ticnlarly care to go somewhere when he proposes it for amusement, she will oblige him if she is the loving and unselfish sis- ter I have in mind, and sacrifice her own inclination to keep him company. -From Harper's Young People. It is Past. The seasons of sadness and gloom have begun fox the small boy. Christmas week and New Year's are over and now the hard prosaic life begins.

"And that be proposal to stop it." "Ile ought to," EGOS TN worrm S. Years ago, says E. H. Davis in the Poultry Monthly, the poultry business was not as lucrative as it is at the pres- eat time. During the winter months, al- though our poultry was well sheltered and fed and great care used to keep the buildings clean, giving plenty of fresh water, air, etc., we found at the opening of the spring we had no remuneration for our labor, as cost of grain, scraps, potatoes, etc., far exceeded the income of eggs. r0 have now a better way of feeding and most excellent results have followed. We feed cut green bones in fair quantity, every other day, and some of the time` every day. They are inexpensive, and with a good bone cutter they make when out fresh every day so nice a food that we can only liken it to a nice rare steak to a hungry man. The fowls love it. They thrive, and the .chickens grow rapidly when fed on it. The mineral part of this food gives chickens material for their growing bones, and for the laying hens the shells, while the meat, gristle and juices in these green bones give material for the flesh to the growing. chickens and interior of the egg in abundance. So now our fowls, instead of being over - f at in winter, are giving us eggs. Instead of being a sorry looking, dejected, unpro- fitable lot during the molting period, they are wide awake and strong, and many of them go so far as to give us eggs regular- ly at this time. The grain bill being largely reduced, the egg yield being in- creased and no loss from sickness, all aid in making our winter and spring record very encouraging, and no one could in- duce us to neglect the feeding of green bong freshly cut at all seasons of the year. " Greenies Not All from the West. "Some of the greenest people in the world come from the old settled states," remarked the head clerk of an uptown hotel. "Some of our far western guests are a trifle crude in dress and care little for style at the dinner table, but they never refrain from pressing the electric buttons about the house for fear it will call out the fire department. I have known rural visitors from the interior of New York state . to abstain on the repre- sentation of the mischievous bellboys, who had caught on to their verdancy, and who would walk down six flights of stairs to make known their every want." EXCHANGING STUPIDITIES. The Fair Creatures Are Altogether Dear if They do Blund er. "Let's tell the stupidest things we ever did in our lives," suggested the society girl, one of a group sipping chocolate in a confectionary store. -'Put it in the present tense," said the girl with the side combs in her bangs. "I regularly light my alcohol light with the greatest trouble, and when I have coaxed it into a blue flame, shut a drawer im- mediately below it, and whiff 1 -out she goes." "That's nothing," said the girl with her hair parted in a straight line, "I used to make afternoon tea for mommer, but every time I lit the spirit lamp I set fire to the lace draperies in the alcove and called out the fire department." "How awfully swell," said the girl in the picture hat. ' Now my forte is fRil- ing down stairs. I never visit anywhere without getting up an excitement of that kind. I just forget about my unfortu- nate habit, and instead of clinging to the balusters, tumbledown in a heap." "Girls, you experience isn't a dream - stance to mine," said the blonde bud, holding her spoon in the air. "You know that dear Persimmons boy -just home from Europe -lots of money -lisps and wears eyeglasses. Well, didn't he go home with me the other night from the Smith function, and when he left me at the door he had my fan in his pocket and forgot to give it to me." "You never seized him for it?" "Girls, I did. Waisii't it awful? I lost the opportunity of guy life." That ended the sossion of the dear stu- pids for that day. INTERBREEDING POULTRY. An English writer remarks, says a cor- respondent of Farm Poultry, that he has bred in and from almost all varieties of pigeons, rabbits, pigs, canaries and num- erous varieties of flowers and vegetables In each and every case he found that for the first few generations they improved and finally degenerated ; in animals, in- variably, diseases of the head are promin- ent; in flowers andvegetables it produced general delicacy. So long as man confines himself to the species and does not breed too near akin he will be successful in producing useful animals. especially in the first cross, but it is against nature to decrease the natur- al size of any animal's head. Itis against nature also to see a four-year-old heifer standing on four legs that would well be- come a full bred yearling colt. If all this is true in other stock, why not in poultry 1 If judicious crossing will give the farmer increased benefit, why should he resort to inbred stock? We do not wish to be understood that we con- sider pure bred stock unfit for the farmer, but we do say that a changeable standard has compelled our fanciers to resort to methods that have in a measure spoiled the utility points of many of our best breeds, driven them to the wall and scar- ed the farmer to such an extent that he is afraid of pure bred stock. The white face of the Spanish, the huge crest of the Polish and the lacing and barring and other requirements have crippled and al- most killed the worth of the noblest var- ieties we have ever had. Rather than farm with such stock the farmer had bet- ter use fust crosses. But we must not go beyond the original cross. In other words, if we mate two varieties of thoroughbreds, we must not remate the progeny. It would be suicidal and would drift us on to mongrelism. The dunghill is the result of haphazard cross- ing. We can use three breeds if we wish HI our experiments -for instance, Min- orca or Plymouth Rock, and to the pul- lets of the cross mate Langshan. In that way we get a part benefit of the three breeds in one. The prime reason for crossing is to get better meat qualities. We do not believe that any cross can be originated that will give better egg records than the birds in their purity -that is, we believe that the best laying cross -bred hen will not lay any more eggs than the best laying pure bred. But, on the. other hand, we know that a flock of cross -bred hens will give more eggs during winter than a like flock of thoroughbreds. The prime cause for this is hardiness, the former being more hardy than the latter. AGRICULTURAL NOTES. In the majority of cases the best mar- ket for poor chickens is at home. The imports of Manitoba *heat from Buil'alo to which point considerable quaff - titles were brought down from Port Arthur in bated before the close of lane navigation, cause oansidorable comment among the :trade here. It is stated that :tdtion may be tekou tai the part of Cent ltdian holders of !Manitoba wheat L) iin- ,: 17rbushel a menti f ,. per duty p y oil this wheat et ling from Buffalo. When pigs are fed upon a well-balanced ration from the beginning they are said to put on fat and lean about uniformly, but if kept short until six months old and then grain fed they make mostly fat. Wooden hen houses are often not made warm enough, or rather the temperature inside various too quickly when it varies outside, Some prevent this by sheeting up on the inside, and even filling the spaces between the outside and the inside boards with straw, shavings or other ma- terial, This itt objectionable by reason of furnishing a hiding and breeding place for rats and weasels, as well as for the smaller vermin that are a pest to every poultry keeper. A better way is to give the inside wall two or three coatings of pine tar, welch costs but little, allowing all but the last to harden. On the last coat spread felt, but if that is too expen- si'e heavy brown paper may be used. This will keep out all draughts of air and all dampness, and afford no hiding place for vermin. There is no better material for the floor than the earth, but it should be higher than the earth outside, so that no water can run in, and should have at the surface a few inches of dry sand or road dost for them to scratch in. A few Loads, barrow loads or carloads, accord- ing to the size of the.bui"lding, should be put in some convenient dry place, that this dry earth may be renewed when that on the top has become foul with the drop- pings. It has been claimed that hens possess- ing the largest combs are the best layers. If by such it is meant that when the combs are large, bright and red the hens are laying., the claim is true, but if it is intended to infer that breeds with large c .gobs lay more eggs than breeds with smell eombs, then the claim is not sup. ported by facts.

The large oomb does,.however, indicate that the hen is laying. Her comb will not remain large after she ceases to lay, but becomes pale and shriv- els. After she has rested or hatched a brood the comb soon begins to swoll again, becomes of a bright scarlet rod, and may be nearly twice as large as when she is not laying. The bright red comb is an indication of health in both sexes, and as the laying hen would not lay unless in: good condition her comb is naturally large and red during that time. Every breeder of road horses should en- deavor to breed as fax as liossible with a view to matching up good road teams. Here is a market that will never be over- stocked, and it admits of variation be size. The man that breeds road hones should never forget that appearances are everything with him. A horse may sett on pedigree in very ordinary condition, but in a road horse everything must be put forward to the best possible advant- age. It is a gift to be able to hitch up a horse or a pair of horses in the most at- tractive manner and show them to the best advantage, and if you have not this gift is there not some business for whish yon have more adaptation and in which you are more likely to succeed than to engage in breeding trotters or road horses ? To cure mange in a dog wash the dog all over with warm water and soap to remove scabs and dirt ; when nearly dry apply the following oin*ment, rubbing it well into the hair : 031 al tar, 2 oz.; sul- phur, 4 oz.; lard, 8 oz.; mix. In about four days wash as before and apply the ointment again. Continue to repeat the application as long as there is any rub- bing or scratching. The dog kennel should be thoroughly scrubbed with boil- ing water made strong with ley, and, when dry, the kennel should be saturated with the following ; Corrosive sublimate, 1 oz.; salt, 1 oz.; water, 1 gal.; mix. All straw which has been used by the dog as a bed should be burned, and rugs should either be burned or thoroughly scalded. Mane is often very difficult to get rid of, and if every precaution is not taken in cleaning up it is liable to return as bad as ever in a few weeks. FASTENING ANIMALS IN THE STABLE.

Horses, cattle and sheep must not only be fed and watered, but they must be housed, whether in barns or folds or. stables. Valuable horses are kept in single, roomy stalls and generally are not con- fined by halters. Others are tied up, sometimes in single or double stalls. Mates of good disposition can be made comfortable in double stalls. Brood mares should have a single stall. Sheep may be put by fifties or hundreds in a single fold, but this should be so large that all and each can get at the feed at the same time. Cattle, especially the milky mothers•of the herd, should have a full sharp of the farmer's care and attention. They can - 'not be herded together in the fold like sheep. They can, however, be made c mfortable in stalls without extra par- titions. KE DALI: w� PAYiM CURT. THE MOST SUCCESSFUL REMEDY FOR MAN OR BEAST.
