Little Susie over there in the corner was known for several months as ‘ The Beautiful Cable Car Victim.‘ We got $2,000 damages from the car company, and as she was young she has outgrown her hurts. Her brother Willie, who rescued her before she was killed, got a wide reputation as ‘The Boy Hero,’ but that was the cause of his death. Yes, we have lost poor Willie. You see, it was this way: He was ambitions, and after the papers stopped talking about him as ‘ The Boy Hero ’ he or- ganized a gang and became known as ‘ The Boy Outlaw.’ When the police got troublesome he reformed and did a lot of good work as ‘ The Boy Detective.’ But his restless spirit could not he sat- isfied with anything very long, and af- ter getting his name in the papers as ‘ The Boy Pugilist, and later as ‘ The Boy Missionary’ he tried to be a ‘ Boy Murderer.’ but the man he attacked thrashed him within an inch of his life.

He became a ' Boy Suicide.’ Yes, Willie was the brightest of all our fam- ily, though I can’t say, sir, that we have to complain of any of them.”-â€"â€"New York Sunday Journal. Tossed by the Hurricane. _â€" THE SHORN “ COLONEL " AND THE WRECKED “CAPTAIN " DINE TOGETHER. Two men who had been chums in a cane hit it met for the first time in years in a Sixth avenue eating house the other day. In the days of their pros- ,pcrity one of them was a political lever :and was called colonel. He had been on the governor’s staff. The other in some way had acquired the title of cap- tain. Both had front seats in every event of the town in which they had lived. The gOvernor’s ornament is now a plain bookkeeper in Broad street. .The other man is a dry goods clerk. After greetings, explanations and a few monrnful references to perished de- lights, they had a combination meal, and if you don't know what that is you have never had any trouble, and any one who casts a shadow is worse than a heathen. When the meal was over the two old friends walked out and the pepulace of his (own to stand back. said in a low, mournerliketone : “ If you come to see me, don’t call the colonel. Nobody knows me as col- onel now. 1 am just an employee on salary." -' The are light spluttered again as the little man replied in a squeaky, half- ” And ifyou come to see me just call me ‘ Say, you 1’ That’s what everybody “ Well. goodby captain.” " So long, colonel.” , It was the first time they had heard New York Sun. Mistook His Man. Like many other public speakers, a well-known lecturer has a great dislike 'to being interruped during his lecture, and if any one happens to come in late he has a habit of stopping short and watching the intruder to his seat, gener- ally with the effect of making him look very sheepish and disconcerted. Some time back. while lecturing at a large town. he was interrupted by a gen- tleman coming in late and making a great deal of noise with his creaking boots. The speaker stopped and stared as usual at the intruder, who seemed not to be in the least conscious that all eyes were upon him. At length, get- ting out of patience, the lecturer remark- cd icily: “ I am waiting for you, sir.” Appartntly quite unmoved, the of- fender spent a few seconds in arranging his coat on the chair. Then, sitting down. he turned to the lecturer with a charming smile and said : are."â€"- Pmrson's Weekly. A boy being asked to describe a kit- ten said, “ A kltten is remarkable for rushing like mad at nothing whatever Black lavas. We consider the Black Java the most neglected of American fowls when its merits are considered. We spoke re- cently of the great difficulty of breeding fine Silver Wyandottes, commending them to the ambition of fancier-s on that account. The Javas are exactly the reverse. They breed almost as true as ducks. Just a little attention to the rejection of birds with poor combs and of birds inclined to “ show the white feather," and you are quite likely. to get 90 per cent. of birds that will score above 90 points. Almost the only ob- jection that can be raised to the Black Javas is that they are black. This is a defect in the eyes of market purchasers, especially of young birds, because the pin feathers are more likely to show, but this objection diminishes as the bird grows older, and the deep yellow color of the skin and the large meaty carcase of the Java makes it a profitable bird to produce for sale dressed by the pound. The standard requirements as to size are ten pounds for males and eight pounds for females. The plumage is a glossy black, and fits the rectangular frame of the fowl almost as closely as does that of the game. They are hardy, fairly active birds, easily managed and able to rear their own young with but little assistance. We don’t know of an- other breed that two years hence would show so large a number of standard birds were a cock and a halfa dozen hens turned loose alone on an ordinary farm and allowed to shift for themselves. -Natt'onal Stoccman and Farmer. Live Stock Points. A mutton breeder who got $4.85 for sheep eight .months old describes his method of rearing them as follows: The lambs were born in April and May. They ran with the dams till Oct. lst. Then for a menth they were put on pas- ture away from the dams. After that, in addition to the pasture, they had oats once a day, mixed with a little oil- meal. As soon as they seemed able to get away with it, the mixture of cats and oilmenl was fed twice a day. This method of feeding was pursued a month and a half. Then corn was mixed with their feed, and they had all the hay they wanted. At the end of a month on the cats, oilmenl, corn and hay feed, they were ready for market and weigh- ed on the average 110 pounds. Their breed Was Shorpshire, with a few Cots- wolds. The gentleman thinks these young sheep paid him very well. Professor Craig of the Wisconsin ex- periment station reports rcmarkahb’ successful results from dipping lambs in the dead of winter, when the thermom- eter was 10 degrees below zero. The lambs were infested with ticks and were doing no good in fattening as it was, and it was decided as the least of two evils to dip them in December. A dip of the usual kind was prepared, the wat- er was warmedâ€"at least a steady at- tempt, not very successful, was made to keep it warmâ€"and the animals were driven into the vat and held there till their fleeces were thoroughly soaked. They were then stood in the draining pens till the loose drops rained off them, when they were put into a shed where the temperature was 10 degrees higher than it was outside. The ticks were killed by this baptism at zero, but the lambs were not. On the contrary, they did remarkably well after their bath. .- To Save Pigs in Cold Weather. Saw a kerosene barrel throughthe middle and set one-halfnear the farrow- ing pen. A~-dry goods box will answer the same purpose. Cover with a piece of old carpet and place a jug filled with hot water in the centre. Slip a gunny sack over the jug, and as fast as the pigs comc place them in the barrel. Leave them there until they are thor- oughly dry. They will keep close .to the jug and usually remain very quiet until they are hungry. ‘Then 1 let .them all out at once, giving each an eqtfal chance. I saved a fine litter in February by this method and another in March, when the temperature was ten degrees below zero. Being a Pol- and-China breeder of several years ex- perience, this practice has saVed me many dollars. Early pigs usually‘bring the most money. «-9â€" of all there. the Tamworths spotted. here. best in England. their country.

A postmasteris required to give notice by letter (returning the paper does not answer the law), when L'suhscribcr does not take his paper out of the office and state the reasons for its not hcihgtnkeu. Any neglect to do so mnkt-s the postmaster responsible to the publisher for payment. 2. If any person orders his paper discon- tinued he must pay all uncut-ages, or the publisher may continue to send it until payment is made, and collect the whole amount, whether it is taken from the office or not. There can be no legal discoatinu- once until the payment is made. 3. Any person who takes a paper iron: the post-oilicc, whether directed to his name or another, or whether he has sub- scribed or not, is responsible for the par. 4. It a subscriber orders his pnprr to'bc stopped at a certain time, and the 'puh- lishcr continues ‘to send, the subscriber is ‘ bound to pay for it if he takes it onto! the post~oiiicc. This proceeds upon the ground that a man must pay for what he uses. 5. The courts have decided that refusing to take newspapers and periodicals from the post-oilicc, or removing and lca'vmg them uncalled for, is prima fact; evidcpCe of intentional fraud.
