Big Cove Was Very Quiet. The mountaineer was skinning squir- rels for supper when a man mounted on a mule came up the trail and halted in front of the cabin to call out : “ Deevnin to yo', Mister Gabbit, over thar." " That yo’, Abe '7" replied the old man, as he looked up. “ Howdy, an howdy's all the folks ?" “ Right smart, thank yo.’ be pnrty quiet around yere." " Oh, yes. purty quiet. Aoythin a- doio up at Big Cove ?" “ Nothin to speak of, ’ccpt that a rev enoo feller got shot last week while arter moonshiners." “ Did, eh 7 Hadn’t heard 0' that." “ An I reckon yo heard about Tom Bottslord shootin at Bill Skinner over that lawsuit ?" continued the stranger. “ Jest mighty nigh put a bullet through Bill's head an had to run far it." “ No, hadn't heard. Bill never could shoot straight enough to hit anythin." ” An somebody fired the skulehouse t’other night. Had a jangle ’bout the skuleteacher last week, yo’ know, an one side or t'other burned down the shale- house.” " Shoo! Shocl me ’bout that." “ Reckon yo' knew Jim Renshaw? \Vaal, Jim’s wife went up on the mono. tain to look for roots, an she didn't cum back agin. Some says as it was b'ars. an some says as'she got lost and perish- ed in the bresh. Jim’s mighty nigh crazy about it, an has quit drinkin.” “ Shoo! Waai, did I ever! Mrs. Rensbaw done got perished, eh ?" Reokon yo’ dun heard 'bout that hoss race last week 7" said Abe, as he re- moved his fur cap to scratch his head. “ No, never did. Had a real hoss race, eh ?" “ Reg’lar boss race, Mister Gabbit. with five mewls into it. Steve Torhell’s critter got in fust by ’bout two feet. Tours to Hadn’t nobody told Some said three feet an some said one ' foot, but I reckon two feet was pnrty clue to the mark. Then the font be- gun." ‘ “ What font 7" “ Reglar font, with knives an fists an sich.” “ What for 7" “ Kase Steve’s critter got the race. Three men hurt an a heap 0' talk all around. Yo’ was axin, Mister Gabbit, how things was up at Big Cove, an I’m sayin as how things are so mighty quiet with us up thur that the stranger who’ll cum along an git up a dawg font will receive the thanks 0’ the hull naybur- hood.

A clergyman noted for his skill and success in raising church debts had been sent for and was conducting morning service. The sermon was over, and the work of stirring up the audience to the required pitch of enthusiasm had begun. Subscriptions rose rapidly to 3300, then to 8400, and, after considerable effort, to '8500, where they stock. In vain the visiting brother exhorted and pleaded. The limits of the cash resources of' the congregation .appeared to have been reached, and at last he sat down, dis- couraged. Then Brother Plantus, a highly respected undertaker, who had made a liberal subscription already. rose and said : “ Brethren, this thing shan’t fall through after it has gone as far along as $500. I believe in a man giving as the Lord has prospered him, and al- though I have given a pretty good-sized dqnution, I am ready to do more. I’ll «pay that. last hundred dollars myself. Here's my cheque for the amount." “ I don't know your name. brother," shouted the visiting preacher, jumping to his feet with enthusiasm. ” but I hope your business will double during the coming year, and I believe it will l"â€" The Chicago Tribune.

Can you inform me ?â€"â€"W. Our correspondent cVidently refers to the so-called condimental foods that are offered under various trade names, both in the old countries and here. Our intelligent readers of course understand very well that all food substances are valuable, in the main, on account of their supplying one or both of two groups of nutrients, ordinarily spoken of as protein and carbonaceous sub- stances, the functions of which are quite generally understood. Aside from these, the mineral matters in the food have important uses, especially in build ing up and renewing the bony structure and aiding in the digestion of the pre- viously mentioned two groups of nutri- ents. Animals supplied with a suf- ficiency of the protein and carbonaceous foods in ordinary forms are almost always abundantly supplied with min~ eral matter. Hence, in preparing rations for our animals we very prop- erly pay little or no attention to the minerals present. Numerous examinations of these con- dimental foods show that they do not contain, and consequently cannot sup- ply. to the animal more of these essen- tial constituents of foods than do many of our common foodsâ€"little more than wheat bran and not so much as linseed meal. On analysis they show the fol- lowing range: Protein. 10 to 15 per cent.; oil, 5 to 6 per cent.; sugar, gum. mucilage, 56 to 61 per cent.; ash. 4%» to 6% per cent. They certainly, then, cannot possess snflicient nutritive value to make them worth 10 to 25 cents per pound, prices at which they frequently sell. . It is observed that the analyses show an unusual percentage of oil, sugar and gum. substances known to produce in large degree the peculiar odor and flavors of various food substances. This suggests at once that these foods owe their value to their appetizing effects. They cause the animals to relish their food better, and therefore to eat more of it. If the vitality of the animal is impaired and the digestion poor, the effect of the aromatics in the food may be to tone up the system. increase the secretion of digestive fluids, and thus aid in the digestion of the other food eaten. In Stewart’s “ Feeding Animals " is given the following formula for a con- dimental food that is probably as good as any, and can be prepared by the feeder at a. fraction of the cost ordi- narily charged : Linseed meal .....25 lb. .uoo-n - Ground flaxseed................10 hIolflsses oucooo!ol00.colu0.coI020 Corn meal . . . . . . . . . . ...........40 Ground tnmeric root............ 1% Ginger.... . . . . . or Caraway seed . . . . . . . . . . . . 0g, Gentian .... . . . . . . . . . . . 0% Cream of tartar .. ..... 0} Sulphur....................... 1 Common salt 1 Corianderseed 0% Total............ 100 lbs. --'Cou.ntr_l/ Gentleman.

A postmaster is required to give notice by letter (returning the paper does not answer the law), when a. subscriber does not take his paper out or the villa: and slate the reasons for its not lmingtnkeit. Any neglect to do so makes the postmaster responsible to the publisher for payment. 2. If any person orders his paper’diacou- tinned he must pay all arrenrnges, or the publisher may continue Io send it until payment is made, and collect the whole amount, whether it is taken from the office or not. There can he no legal discontinu- ance until the payment is made. 3. Any person who takes a paper tram the post-office, whether direcled to his nutne or another, or whether he has sub- scribed or not, is responsible for the par. 4. If a subscriber 0rd('rs his. paper to'he stopped at a. certain time. and the pub- lisher continues to send, the subscriber ll bound to pay for it if he takes it out of the pou-oflice. This proceeds upon the ground ' that a man must pay for what. he uses. 6. The courts have decided that infusing to take. newspapers and periodicals lrnm‘ the post-oilice, or removing and leaving thrm uncalled for, is prima facie evidence of intentional fraud.
