An attendant feature of a diary farm is raising calves. The selec tion should be made with an. eye to profitableness in the- dairy, at an early day, so their time and feed will not be wasted on calves that have no promise. The usual mums of a good cow make themselves ap parent at an early age and a suc cessful dairy man is on the look out for them For many reasons the calf, as soon as dropped, should be taken from the cow and reared from the pail. In this way, first, the dairy man secures all the cream, as the calf can be fed upon skimmed milk. Second, he is entirely freed from the management usual with a calf at milking time. Third, as the calf does not recognize its mother, the two can be put into the same pasture to graze. Fourthj there is no such disaster possible as the loss of milk, because “the cows and calves got together.” Fifth, the calf can be much more rapidly pushed, as it can be judi clously and properly fed from the start. It requires some little ex perience to teach a calf to drink milk, and possibly the first efforts may discourage the beginner. 1 can safely say the man who once learns the art, will not return to the old plan of leaving the calf to draw the milk from its mother. It is not well to attempt to feed the calf immediately after its birth. It should be a little hungry before the trial is made, as it will then be in a condition not to be specially choice ai? to methods It is to be understood that the instincts of the calf are to be at ouee upset. To get his milk, be wants to hold his head up to find the udder; his mas ter. wants to teach him that the dinuer is down in the pail. This, of course, must be done by physi cal force, as there can be no intel lectual communications. As soon as the bands are put upon the calf to force him, be struggles to re lease himself. The first thing to do, therefore, is to put him iu po sition to be able to control him. Back him into a corner and then get astride of him, push his mouth down into the milk and insert your fingers into it as as asubstitue for his mother’s teat. He soon begins to draw the mils, if be is so secure that be cannot back away fyom it. The second time lie is fed, soon af ter he begins to take the milk the finger should be gradually with drawn from bis mouth. If he will not draw, the finger can be slightly inserted again and the hand held over his face in slight pressure to take the place of what he expects from his mothers udder. Until he learns to find the milk down in stead of up, his head must be kept, by force, in the pail, with his lips just touching the milk. In a very short-time, with patience and kind management, he will take the milk all right and eagerly. It must be distinctly understood tbat cold milk (rill kill a young calf. The milk must be brought immediately upon being drawn from the cow and given to the calf while it is quite warm. If from auy cause it should become cold it must be heated before it is put into the calf s stomach. It requires two persons for the first few feeds to manage a calf to advantage. One man controls the calf, and the other holds the milk, otherwise in the scuffle for an elementary edu cation somebody will “grieve over spilt milk.” After the second day it will only be necessary to put the pail before the calf and he will manage for himself. I do not find it necessary to feed a calf oftner than twice each day. I give it about one quart of its mother’s milk at each time for the first week, increasing, the second week, to half gallon, the third week to three qnarts. The third week, however, one quart of skimmed milk is mix ed with two qnarts of whole milk and warmed. The whole milk is in this way, gradually withdrawn until the feed is made entirely of skimmed milk and gruel. As the whole milk is taken out gruel made of corn meal is substited and put into the milk boiling hot so as to warm up the milk to the proper temperature; of this mixture the man can conveniently spare. It is very necessary to see that the feed is warm and tbat the amonnt is regularly given. After one month a calf will take about a gallon at a feed to advantage, the amount can be increased as cir cumstances justify. Any man who undertakes the management of a dairy with the purpose to raise his calves after the old style, allowing them to draw the rich milk from their mothers, will have a deal of unnecessary annoyance, and lose a lage share of his profits.

What talismauic virtue is there in the three brief words, “Beg your pardon!” Yon dig yotft: elbow in to a gentleman’s ribs in making your way through a crowd, and as be turns, irate to administer the upper cut,” you utter the magic phrase in deprecating tones. Down drops his.arm, his honor is satis fied, and notwithstanding the bine mark on his intercostal region, he grins horribly a ghastly smild and bows bis bead as if in acknowledg- m ent of an act of courtesy. Passing along the avenue of kuees iu a street car, iu obedieuce to the “move up” of the packing agent of one of those social Black Marias, you come down with mad dening emphasis on an unpruned corn. The furious exclamation which follows the deed as natural ly as foam from the drawn cork of bottle of champagne is arrested in tbe middle of an obsequious beg your pardon!” and the exple tive never reaches heaven’s chan cery to trouble the eyes of the re cording angel. Yon tread on the “trail” of a la dy and “r-r-r-ip” go the gathers. In tremulous semitones, plaintive as the “last sigh of the Moor,” you solicit forgivuess; and she—no, beg pardon, she does not forgive you, but with a scowl that reminds yon of the most vindictive of the Don’s tormentors, she passes on, thinking daggers, but saying noth ing. If you wish to insult a man with out imperiling’your personal safe ty, disarm him in advance with this saving clause, as thus: “Beg your pardon, sir, bat what you suy cannot be the fact; it is utterly im possible.” The deprecatory prefix is like a whiff of cloroform before the pulling of a tooth. * Under the influence of a full dose of it we have known a regular fire-eater to endure the lie circumstantial and even the lie direct without winc ing. “If” is a good plain-killer iu some cases, bnt you may throw any quality of moral vitriol in the face of a person you dislike, with per fect impunity, if yon accompany the aspersion with plenty of “beg- yonr-pardons.” The pardoning pjwer is the most royal of human perogatives. It tickles one’s vani ty to exercise it. A few days ago a gentleman who resides near Delta, came to Monte- zuma. Soon after crossing Tote- over creek a hog in the lane attack ed him in his buggy. His mule was a flue traveler, but the hog kept up with him for a mile and a half. When he would slow up a little, the mad beast would attempt to climb in the side of the buggy, badly scaring Mrs. Jones and her little boy. He thinks the hog had the hydrophobia or something of that nature.—Montezuma Record. The “Seven Ages of Man” were depicted by Japanese artists long before they became famous in Shakesperean recitations in this country, and perhaps before Shakespeare was born. On the walls of a great tea store in New York city, which has branches in Hong Kong and Shanghai, hang a series of Japanese-pictures illus- In Montreal one may buy cloth ing not to be had in the United States; woolens thick as boards, hosiery that wards off the -cold as armor resists missiles, gloves as heavy as shoes, yet soft as kid, fur caps and coats at prices and in a variety that interest poor and rich alike, blanket snits tbat are more picturesque than any other mascu line -garment worn north of the City of Mexico, tuques and mocca sins, and, indeed, so many sorts of clothing we yankees know very lit- sle of, (though many of ns need them) that at a glance we say the Montrealers are foreigners. Mon treal is the gayest city on this con tinent, and 1 bave often thought that tbe clothing there is largely responsible for tbat condition. A New Yorker disembarking in Montreal in midwinter finds the place inhospitably cold, and won ders how, as-well as why, auy one lives there. I wejl remember, standing years ago beside a tobog gan slide, with my teeth chatter ing and my very marrow slowly congealing, when my attention was called to the fact that a dozen rud dy-cheeked, bright-eyed, laughing girls were grouped in snow that reached their knees. I asked a Canadian lady how that could b possible, and she answered with a list of the principle garments those girls were wearing. They had two pairs of stockings under their shoes, and a pair of stockings over their shoes, with moccasins over them. They had on so many woolen skirts that au American girl would not believe me if I gave the number. They wore heavy jackets and blanket snits over all this. They had mitteus over their gloves, and fur caps over their knitted hoods. It no longer seem ed wonderful that they should not heed the cold; indeed, it occurred to me that their bravery amid the terrors of tobogganing was no bravery at all, since a girl buried deep in the heart of such a mass of woolens could scarcely expect damage if she fell from a steeple. When next I appeared out-of-doors I, too, was swathed in flannels,like a jewel in a box of plush, and from that time Montreal seemed, which it really is, the merriest of Ameri can capitols.—Harper. Artificial ~Ra8nfq.il, Chicago is to have a great Tem perance Temple, which is pictured as something beautiful to look up on. They have already planted the corner-stone and delnged it with feminine eloquence and the melody of childish voices. That makes a fair and bright beginning. But where are they to get the tem perance from after they get the temple? That’s the question. Chi cago is not particularly noted for religious sobriety. Planters will be greatly interest ed to know that- a very handy ma chine for picking cotton has been invented, and the first bale picked by it was exhibited iu Memphis last week. If it will do all that- the inventor claims for it, the planter can, by its use, place himself iu a .much more independent position than he now is. He says it will do as much work as fifty men. Nine-tenths of the raisins sold iu this country are made in Cali fornia, and yet California raisin- makers ship all their best goods to New York and have them boxed and marked as if they came -from Spain.

Casper, who has been connected with the signal ser vice since its foundation, early the seventies, told’a New York Star representative some carious facts about the service. A carious little clause was tack ed to the appropriation bill,”, be gan the Colonel, “while it was be fore the senate, and went through the legislative ■ mill innocently enough and is now a law, It pro vides that, under the direction of the Forestry Division - of the de partment of agriculture, 82,000 shall be expended in tbe artificial production of rainfall. There are those who are disposed to make merry over this provision of the appropriation bill, bnt really there is nothing so absurd about it. No doubt there is plenty of moisture at all times, if only it conld be gathered in the right place and be made to fall upon tbe earth. Man has accomplished as difficult things as that in the realms oE applied science. Then why not that? It is not contemplated, however, to produce rainfall by the slow growth of forests in the arid regions. The success of that method is still dis puted. Under the new law it is proposed to find out whether rain fall cannot he produced by elec tricity, dynamite explosions, or oth er mechanical agencies. Taking the cue from the fact that heavy cannonading on a battlefield, or a Fourth of July celebration is fol lowed by copious rains, the exper imenters will work accordingly. The process of burning powder to produce rain hes hitherto been too expensive to warrant its general use, but possibly cheaper explo sives will be found. . It jias been proposed, among other things, to attach twenty-five pounds of dyna mite to a toy balloon and then send a flock of snch balloons into the air, with lighted fuses attached. At any rate.” concluded the Colo nel, “one way or another, the arid lands of the country are bound to be brought under splendid cultiva tion sooner or later. They com prise some of the most fertile soil on earth.” A Wonderful Bridge. Commercial Abvertiscr. David Gowan, who lives in . the northern part of Gila county, Ari zona, in what is known as “the Tonto Basin,” is the owner of one of the greatest natnral curiosities in the United States, if not in the world. Gowan’s wonder is the fa mous natural bridge which spans Pine Creek by a single arch of 200 feet, the walls on either side risin; to a height of from 700 to 800 feet, on one side forming a perpendicu lar precipice. The bridge is 600 feet in‘width; from the bottom of the arch to the’ top it averages forty feet; span, as above mention ed, 200 feet; lower side of arch 150 feet. The action of the water which has ponred under this nat nral span for ages has worn it as smooth as though it bad been chisled and sandpapered by stonemason. Although the arch, which is solid limestone, averages about forty feet in thickness, there is one place near tho top of the arch where the the thickness scarcely exceeds six feet; near the centre of this thin place there is a semi circular hole two feet in di- amter, through which one may watch tbe waters swiftly glidio 200 feet below. Underneath the bringe, as well as in all the spars of mountains contingent to Pine Creek, are nu merous caverns, snggesting the idea that the creek itself was once subterranean passage, leaving the wonderful bridge as a remind- of what “used to be.” These caves abound in splendid stalac tites, stalagmites and petrifactions ill kinds. One of the stalactites the cave under tbe bridge is a remarkable representation of a fe- male’figure. Visitors have mimed Lady Gowan,” in honor of the gentlemanly David, owner of the bridge and caves. of One of the most romartable old ladies in Maine is living on the is land of Monbegau. Although 75 years old, she not only knows noth ing of the cars, telephone, electric lights, etc., bnt has never seen a horse. She has always lived on the island, several miles from the mainland, and her world has been Monhegan. Sheep and cows are kept on the island, bat there is no call for horses. She has just heard for the first time of Secreta ry Blaine and Speaker Reed. Happy Women. What is it that makes women more smiling and happy looking than men? We meet them on tbe cars, on the streets, in the country, by tbe seashore, always smiling, teeth a glistening, eyes a dancing. Ah! the secret is they aim to please. It is an effort in many instances for them to smile, and were it net for a desire to look pleasing and pretty many would “never smile again.” Why? - Because in a large majority of instances they don’t feel like smiling. -.They feel more like crying. With their ner vous aches, weakness and bearing down pains, life to them is a bur den. What a god-find to many a physician is a rich, sick woman. Why should he aim to cure her and deny himself the pleasure of presenting liis bills.with tbe usnal regularity. It seems from the following that the sorest and cheapest way for invalid women to regain health and strength is by using Botanic Blood Balm (B. B. B.) Mrs. J. A. White, 340 Wythe Street, Petersburg, Va., writes: “I have used B: B. B. with happy re sults, and others have taken it at my advice, and are delighted with its^curative results,” J. N. Gregory, Butler Postoffice, S. C., writes: “My wife had been under the treatment of several good physicians, but continued in poor health.so Ibonght four bottles of Botanic Blood Balm, and it did her more good than those doctors had doue her in ten years. She is flow doing her own washing, a thing she had not been able to do for four vears.” In Memory of a Postofflce. A family by the name of Per kins. consiting of wife and -four children, poseed through Atchison, Kan., recently, bound for Brown county, Illinois. The man had lost one eye and the left arm; tbe woman was minus a left arm; one of the children had but one leg, an other one was blind and one sick. He had 85 in cash, a plug of tobac- a clay pipe, a yellow dog, and altogether was as happy and con tented as if he owned half the state. Yon make no mistake if yon oc casionally give yonr children Dr. Ball’s Worm Destroyers. It is a nice caDdy and while it never does harm it sometimes does a world of good. Inspector Byrnes, of New York City, says thac the only way to keep a city clear of bad men is to arrest them on sight and make the place too hot for them.

It Saved My Life. After suffering for twelve years from contageons Blood Poison, and trying the best physicians at tainable and all the patent medi cines procurable, and steadily con tinuing to grow worse, I gave up all hopes of recovery, and the phy sicians pronounced the case incur able. Hoping against hope I tried S. S. S. I improved from the first bottle, and after taking twelve was cured, sound and well, and for two years have had no retn n or symp tom of the vile disease.

Some bright autnmn day or ear ly in the spring, when the soft south wind steals np from Egypt and kisses the cheeks of the girls on Prairie avenue, or meandere through the young rembrant whis kers of her fiance, warbles Squire Bill Nye in the Chicago Herald, just as the frost is heaving oat of the ground, some fine morning as the postmaster is stamping the outgoing mail for Wankegan, he will-bit some letters an extra lick and there will be a cloud of dost, tbe fnnky odor of the dead letter, the roar of settling walls and crum bling battlements, and then the Chicago postoffice will be no more. So wabbly are the walls, I am told, tbat the slightest jar may serious ly effect them. Even the sudden S3ttlement of an account might precipitate the terrible calamity. The federal building occupies one of the most desirable sites in tbe city, and yet it is a constant men ace to lmman life and assault and battery npon the taste of the peo ple. It is the deformed and club footed off-spring of a distorted brain and a sad commentary npon man’s appetite for the hard-earned dollars of the United States. It marks an era in the history of the country when Satan laid aside his own work and just followed the av erage patriot aronnd from place to place, learning his methods and getting pointers from him. So when the time comes to give up this architectural wart and say good-by to this James- Crow wad of shapeless and unsatisfied blun ders there will be few teirs, I judge. It has clinging to it few i beautiful memories. Even the un musical and immoral English Sparrows, who come each spring to build their little nests and sqneak arid scoot about and rear their young, have no respect for the tottering mass. No neighbor will sorrow to see it go, no scald ing tear will wet the dust and bust ed walls of the dark and dismal wreck. Nashville, Tenn., March 25,1890. Badam Microbe Killer Co., Nashville, Tenn.: Gentlemen—In reply to yours, inquiring of my health at the pres ent date, will say: I am well, hav ing had but one spell of illness since my last testimonial of 1889; that was billions fever last August. I had quit taking Microbe Killer for about five months, having had no need for it. 1 broke up my fe ver and started to work the first of September and have not lost a day from illness of any kind- I now feel as though I was entirely cured, but through fear of another attack I continued the use of it- through this disagreeable weather. My lungs are surely in good con dition, as I play first b flat cornet in Baxter’s First Tennessee Regi mental Band, and feel no bad ef fects from it Any one knows *hnf it requires power from the lungs to use this instrument.
