‘ PAWNSHOP LINGO. ” v‘ A BusinesyChat Between e Customer and His Uncle. Maybe you never had occasion to go ‘7 to a pavi'nnlmp. Probably it’s just as 'zwell. If you ever have gone there, ' though, you may have learned that the pawnshop has a lingo of its own. Here is a conversation overheardâ€" oh. a man told me about iiiâ€"in a place Ontario street. A young man with a worldly wise ‘ expression had just walked in, un- hocked a large gold watch from a chain and handed it to the man across -â€"the counter for inspection. “How many do i cop on the chimer?" ’ â€"be.lnquired nonchalantly. ““Co’ugh your figure," said the duck ’9- rhehind the counter. ‘ “Would four sawbucks find you in ‘the front parlor?” “Not so, my cheeild. I c‘n gets dray load of ’em for forty." “Aw. well. pass me over sixty Mexi- « trans, then." “Nope. Come again. Thirty‘s too " strong too." “Say, be. where do you think 1 gets - f ' this tickerâ€"by findln' six out o’ twelve ‘ traces in the picture?" inquired the .‘young man with a dlsgusted leer. “Anyhow. twenty-five’s the rock fig- 3 *ure. That goes. Nothln' lees. "Twenty-five on a gilt dial." mur‘ ‘ ~mured the money lender as he wrote out the ticket and the transaction was k ended. . The next customer was a red haired youth with a forehead about one and “ one-eighth inch high and carrying a = suit of clothes under his arm. “How often for me happy toga?" he tasked, spreading them out on the "counter. ' “Up to you.” “'Bout four, ~‘ ones.” “Split,” said the other iaconlcally. ‘ “Rotter rake it down too. Can’t play 7 the high one.” “Whutâ€"on’y a double on them giddy ‘ rags?” in a tone of injury. “Two’s the limit.” “You win.” And. taking the two doi- ’- lar bill and his ticket. he went his way. - =â€"Cleveiand Plain Dealer.

A red, port of the experiment follows: - i I Firstâ€"' ‘he health, spirit and endufk- Bnce of work horses were the camel when fed corn with a moderate amount! ' of oilmeal or gluten feed or cottonseed ' meal as when fed a corn and oats ram} 3 tion, supplying a similar nutritive ratio? T - Secondâ€"The ration of corn and 011-: I meal maintained the weight, flesh and. appearance of the horses fully as as and with less expense than the one of similar nutritive value composed of corn and oats. 5 ~ Third. -â€" With corn at 50 cents a bushel, cats at 40 cents and oilme at FINE BRED PEROHEBON. [By courtesy of Iowa. State college] $32 per ton. the average saving in the daily expense of feed for each work‘ day amounted to 1.6 cents by the use of oflmcal in the place of oats. | Fourthâ€"A brief trial of ninety~oue i days with gluten feed indicated that, ' while it was capable of giving good re- sults, the ration containing it was not as palatable as the oilmeal ration and cost a trifle more per pound when gluten feed was worth $28 a ton. , Fifthâ€"Cottonseed meal gave some-j what better results on the whole than." oilmeal. The ration containing it was fully as palatable and as efficient in, maintaining the health and weight of the horses. It was less laxative and a? ~ little cheaper with cottonseed meal at $30 a ton. . : Sixthâ€"With corn at 50 cents a1 ‘bushel and oats at 40' cents, oilmeai§ ‘ had a value of fully $60-21 ton .for feed-~ = ing to work horses, with cottonseed; meal worth a trifle more still. At the usual prices of these feeds their use: resulted in a substantial lowering of the cost of maintaining the horses. SUCCULENT LAMB FEED. Gains May Be Realized When Cheap , Corn is Available. ' Recent experiments brought out the fact at a government station that with corn at ordinary prices cheaper gains on lambs-may be made with dry feed than with roots or silage. When corn and silage are low in price the gains made with silage are a. little cheaper than those made with dry feed. The largest total gains were made by the lambs getting sugar beets, and the finish of this lot was also a' .’ little better. The lot getting turnips E and cabbage required the largest l amount of dry matter for each 100 pounds gain. Silage and- dry feed came next. The least amount of dry matter was required where sugar beets and man- gels were fed. The chief objection to mangeis and sugar beets is the large amount of hand labor required to raise them. ' ' Give the Calf Plenty. , The calves should be well fed, but a lot of calves are fed to death. Four quarts of skimmilk a day is enough = for a four-weeks-old calf. 'As soon as i any Sign of bowel complaint shows in the droppings reduce the quantity of milk. Give a calf all the hay and bran i it will eat and let it run on gram, but i do not overfeed on skimmilk. The * calf that is reared naturally gets only. a small quantity of milk at a time, and the wild .cow does not give much at any time. Training the Horses. ' IV“? it is claimed by those who have trained many horses that, taking the coil when training first begins, they can be trained to walk over four miles an hour. The walking gait. is the most important one to the farm and road horse. The mistake with many in training young horses is that they are too soon put to trotting. which is a gait they more readily learn than last walking. . l i i .. .... . .._- ... y. . .. -.. .4 ' London bridge.

', The Astronomical Clock at Hampton Court Palace. The famous astronomical clock at Hampton Courtpaiace, near London. is the first timepiece of that: character erected in England and was made for Henry VIII. in 1540. According to Er- nest Law, the historian of Hampton Court palace, it was the creation of Nicholas Cratzer, a German astrono- mer. who visited England at the invi- tation of Cardinal Wolsey, who intro- duced him to the king. It is possible to learn from it the 1 hour, the month, the day of the month. the position of the sun and the number of days. since the beginning of the year, phases of the moon and its age, the hour at which it crosses the meri- dian and the time of high water at The winding of the clock occupies half an hour every week. The weights descend to a depth of more than sixty feet. Like many other things about the palace, it has its legends. It is related. that when Anne of Denmark, queen of James 1., died in the palace the clock, which was striking 4 at the mo- ment, immediately stopped. This it is said to do whenever any old resident in the palace dies within its precincts, and alleged modern instances of the fact are quoted solemnly by the credu- lous.â€".Argonaut. " NERVEU’S TWITCHINGS. ‘ An Affliction From Which Men of Genius Often Suffer. Many men of genius, like the insane, are subject to curious spasmodic and chorelc movements. Professor Lom- broso in one of his books pointed out that Lenau and Montesq’uieu left upon the floor of their rooms the signs of the movements by which their feet Were convulsively agitated during composition. Budou, Dr. Johnson, Santeuil, Ore- billon and Lombardlni exhibited the most remarkable facial contortlons. There was a constant quiVer on Thom- as Campbell‘s thin lips. Chateaubri- . and was long subject to convulsive movements of the arm. Napoleon suffered from an habitual spasm of the right shoulder and of the “My anger,” he said one day have been fearful, for I felt the vibra- tion of my calves, which has not hap- pened to me for a long time." Peter the Great suifered from con- vulsive movements which horribly “Carducci’s face at certain moments," writes Mante- gazza, “is a veritable hurricane; light- nings'dart from his eyes, and his mus- cles tremble.” Ampere could express his thoughts only while walking and when his body was in a state of con- stant movement. Socrates often danced and jumped in the street without rea- son. FRENCH TRADESMEN. Bows and Smiles and Flatter-y All Used in Business. “Bon dour, madame.” This in a cor- dial tone and accompanied by a ready smile is the welcome of your French tradesman or tradeswoman. With low- ly bows and wide-spreading smiles he shows himself delighted to serve you. If you look over everything in the shop and buy only the wing of a chicken, yet he will just as smilingiy bow you out and hope to see you again. Once I entered my milkman’s speck< less shop and was met by Monsieur Jean himself. “Oh, Monsieur Jean," 1 Your milk is so delicious, but I find that I cannot Mon- , sieur Jean was all sympathy, under- standing at once, and answered, “But, madame, let me send you half that quantity, 2 cents' worthâ€"1 cent’s worth â€"what you wi ." And with a shrug and a smile, as if to say, “What is 2 cents’ worth of milk compared with the honor of your patronage?" he put my fears to rest. This subtle flattery of the tradesmen is really good business. One is only human, and it is so pleasant to be a person of consequence! I resolved on the spot to buy all my butter and ' cheese from Monsieur Jean, as well as the millsâ€"New Idea Woman’s. Maga- zine. . ' .z'l; ' The Pets.
