nnmlmr of proitiiucut farmer in

lively sure of the condition of the
female they were tstiecmtful in
every loatauoe: "Although stock
breeding ban long been elevatd to
a acieuoe, and many valuable
theoriaa dediiuetl m to the meant! of
improving stock, yet but little hatt
been acuoiuplinued in the way of
regulating the production of tbe
men, which ofteutluies would be
of incalculable value to the atock
rulnor. That auolt la not impract
icublo hail htn already demon
attutiHl with eoimlderuble huwws.
One of the fimt writoro on the nub
ject la M. Thury, piofisor in the
Academy of Geneva, who obnerved
that the queen bee lay female eggi
al fJntt aud male egga afterwardH;
that with heiia the flrnt laid egp

he formulated tlie following law
for aUek-ralwrs! 'If you wish to
produce ftmali, give the mule at
the first eigu of the limit; if you
wiMh to pHxliice iiinlett, give him at
the end of tho heat.' A celebrated
Swim attH'k ralncr, son of the l'rcbi
dent of the 8u Agricultural
Society, Canton de Vaud, in pub
Imlilug hi experience in IMt, wiyH
in HNMtkmg of the accuracy of this
laws 'In the first place, on twenty
twi auwtwive ocowlontt, I dtstired
to have heifer. My cow were of
rtwiu breed, and my bull a pure
Durham. I succeeded in tliec
mm. Having oougiii a pure
Durham cow, it was very impor
tant for me to have a new bull to
supercede the one I had bought at
great cspetwc, without leaving to
olnniee the production of a mule.
So I followed the directiou ol
Profiwaor Thury, and the suecewi
ha proved once more the auccena
of the law. I have obtained from
by Durham hull six more bully
(Bwlta Durhnm cowa) for field
work, atltl, having cows of the
tamo color and height, I have ob
taJuwi perfect tuiitcliea of oxen.
My herd amounted to forty co8
of every age; in short, I had made
in all twenty-nine experiments of
tho new method, and in ever one
Buccedod iu what I wan looking
for, male or female; I bad not one
Hingle failure. All the experi-
monta have been made by myself,
without auy pcrmu'a intervention;
consequently, I do declare that I
eotmider as real, and certainly,
perfect the method of Profi-wtoi
Thury."'

Thcti manner of hunting game,

Most grandmothers will exclaim:
'God bless you!" when they hear a
child sneeze, and they sum up the
philosophy of the subject with the
following lines, which used to tie
light the writer in days of his child

oiicczo on a Mommy, you sneeze
for danger;
Sneeze on a Tuesday, you kiss a
stranger;
Sneeze ou a Wednesday, yon
sneeze for a letter;
Sneeze on a Thursday for some
thing better;
Sneeze on a Friday, you sneeze

Hueeze on a Saturday, your sweet

Sneeze on a Sunday, your safety

Stylea In Alaaka.
It is strange how stxiu one becomes
accustomed to and adopts the cus
toms of the country in which one so-
ourns. All our party have gradually
come to weiu- native clothing, more
or Km
Sealskin boots (hair seal, not the
fur seal), either with the hair on or
off tho uppers and legs, as may be de
sired, with walrus skin soles, worn
with an insole of dry grass, were the
first article of apparel adopted.
They are the most comfortable I have
ever worn. They are also the most
clumsy looking.
But ono soon forgets about the ap
pearance, and a person with a pair
of American made leather boots or
shoes looks as much out of place as
an Eskimo would on the streets of
Portland with his parka (coat), hood
and boots on.
It is too warm for us to' endure tlie
fur coats made of reindeer, seal,
squirrel, minkskiiis, etc., but most
of the party are provided with them,
Tho hoods are usually attached to
the coat and are thrown back in
warm weather, leaving the head ex
posed. Tho winter boots are made of rein
deer aud other warm skins, with tho
fur on, but are not worn in wet
weather. Tho hair of tho reindeer is
as soft as beaver, and a coat of its
material will keep out the cold more
effectually than 10 times its weight
in woolens.
In fact, ns I am told by residents,
one cannot wear enough woolens to
keep warm in winter, the weight be
uig too groat. Furs are also a neces
sity for bedding. Cor. Portland Ore

The Hublt of Migrating.
Tlie best authorities state that the
habit of migrating is duo to the fact
that at tho time of the gi"eat climatic
change whereby the northorn portion
of tho globe became tho frigid place
it is now tho birds inhabiting the ex
treme north were forced southward,
and, further, that in tlie change of
seasons, when in summer the north
furnishes them the conditions of life
they have gradually formed, tlie
habit of resorting thither. This ex
planation sounds plausible, but there
are some questions which it foils to
Power.
-La teat U. S. Gov't Report
3P
answer. For instance, bow do' Hie
birds forecast a change of season so
that their flight southward la begun
in time to escape the storms of
winter I And by what messenger are
they informed in the spring that tha
time ha come when they can with
safety return to their northern breed
iiiK places!
The latter question receives a hy
pothetical answer in the assertion
that, as most migratory birds breed
in tbe northern limit of their flight,
it Is the sexual instinct which sends
them north and the statement is
supported by the fact that the male
birds of some species usually precede
the females and as the sexual in
stinct is always stronger in the male
there seems some reason in this the
ory. But not all birds are migratory.

Tba Bravery of Woaeeav
Whether they are recognized as
more than a passive force, women
have played an active part in his
tory and have shown resonree in
emergeney, presence of mind in
peril, and invincible determination
in the face of seemingly hopeless ob
stacles. They have not degenerated. On
tho contrary, with the opportunity
of the present, its broad training, its
liberal education, they are mora
ready now for active duty than ever
they were.
Never before ha the state had in
reserve such a force of intelligent,
steady nerved, well disciplined wom
en. Whatever crisis may call it into
action, this reserve is ready, and in
any and every emergency it will not
be found unprepared or reluctant to
do its part with heart, brain and
mind.-Jhicgo Inter Ocean.

The writer once entered inte con
versation with the inmate of an asy
lum, at the request of the superin
tendent, who said he was a mono
maniac, and invited me to find out
if he could the particular point of
his insanity. "It is a rum Bunject to
go mad on, I must say," he added,
by way of helping me. I tried him
on various subjects without success;
in fact, he seemed better informed
than myself, and I waa turning to
go when he tapped me on the
shoulder and whispered in my ear:
"It's a long time coming, isn't it?"
"What 1st" I asked. ,
"Why, tlie day of penteeost, of
Course I" he answered.
And that was the only irrational
thing be said during the whole in

As a clever advertisement the fol
lowing requires beating: "An enter

discovered thut Julius Cuar was

as generally supposed, but Iwcause
hi the Semite he pa scd u disparag
ing remark on the fitting of the toga
of Michael CassiuB, which evidently
must have been made up by some sec
ond class tailor in Via Sartoris. This,
and this only, it seems, caused the
tragic fate of the mighty Julius.

A sister is a sort of a guardian
angel in the home circle. Her pres
ence condemns vice. She is the quick
ener of good resolutions, the sun
shine in the pathway of home. To
every brother she is light and life.
Her heart is tlie treasure house ol
confidence. In her he finds a safe
adviser, a charitable, forgiving, ten
der, though often undeserved friend.
In her be finds a ready companion.
Her sympathy is as open as day and
sweet as the fragrance of flowers.
