Twns Willie's first morning In the
fountry, and there were wonders with
out number on every hand. The night
before, grandpa had promised him that
on this same morning he should Join
the farmer's club, "The Knockabouts."
Ilcfoto going to bed Willie carefully
((dinted his pennies. " 'Cause," said
he. " 'twill cost something to join!"
"Not very much, I guess," said
mamma, who was fully acquainted
with grat:dpn and his funny club. Por
hadn't she been a member herself when
hhe was a llttlo girl?
"Anyhow." continued Willie. "I
have tho dollar papa gave me, haven't
Hut mamma only laughed In reply.
"Can't initiate you till the dew gets
off tho grass!" exclaimed grandpa at
the breakfast table.
This trade the club seem to Willie
more mysterious than ever.
"You must put on your thick shoes,
nnd I don't think a white shirt Is just
tho thing for members of the club to
wear," advised grandpa, with a-merry
twinkle In his eyes. ,..,,.:.
About 10 o'clock Willie .wasYseady,
and whero do you suppose grandpa
took him?
Why, out in the orchard, back of the
lvarn, whero there was us many ns a
hundred hay-tumbles. Already three
hired men wcro nt work, throwing the
bay about In every direction.
"There nro tho charter members of
the 'Knockabout Club,' " laughed
grandpa.
Willie took the llttlo fork grandpa
handed him. nnd was soon a full
fledged membsr of tho funny club.
"I've got a good namo for my club,
haven't I?" nuked grandpa, aB Willie
began knocking the liny about for the
sun to dry.
"A jolly one," replied Willie.
Every morning, while he remained nt
the farm, ho was tho first member of
the club on duty.
"It's tho best fun!" he exclaimed.

Professor Lincoln of Hrown UnWer
slty, whoso denth occurred a few years
ago, used to tell amusing anecdotes of
Nnanaor. tho great professor nnd his
torian of the Christian church of tho
Htrlln University, under whom ho
studied for some time.
Neander was accustomed when lec
turing to stand behind a curious, high
desk, with an open framework, and
with holes and pegs for letting It up
nnd down. His costume waa a very
long coat, earning down to the tops of
his great Jack-boots, aniT'wJUU a collar
which reached almost ns high ns his
head as he bent over Ills .desk, and
with nrms extended forwnrd, twirled In
his Angers a quill pen. If this quill
dropped, 'there wus a hiatus In the lec
ture until some ono would pick It up
mid place It In Ills hands, and then tho
wonderful flow of learned discourse
would proceed.
It Is said that when Neander went to
Derlln he happened, In going from his
homo to tho university for. tho first
time, to be with a friend, who, for tho
sake of Borne errand, took a, moat cir
cuitous route; Neander pursued this
roundabout course for years, nnd only
by accident discovered that there was
a shorter way. .v
On ono occasion, being Jostled on a
crowded side walk, in order to paBcby
the crowd, he stepped -off Into the gut
ter with one foot, keeping the other
foot on tho curbstone. When tho
crowd was passed, ho continued ab-Mnt-mlnded
to walk on til this curi
ous fashion, and when .lie reached'
homo he complained ofbol'B fatlgUftd
from tho dlsorded condition' of tho
Mreets. An acquaintance, who had fol
lowed him, was able to explain the
fatigue.

"Mr. Lincoln," according to nnothor
applicant, had many engagements In

when he swept nil before him."
Of Lincoln's tragic death It was vari

Whet! traveling In tho south of Ire
land, some years ago, I was not a lit
tle surprised to hear every ono In n
loom shout "Clod bless you!" when
any person sneezed, and the "Ood bles
you" was repeated for every snooze. I
have since learned that this Balutntlon
has an origin going back to the sixth
century, when tho black plague fell
upon Homo. ItB victims showed the
fit st symptoms by sneezing. When the
African King of Menomopnta sneezes
all these near his person send up n
gicat shout, all within hearing take It
up, so that the sneeze may be said to
go echoing through tho kingdom. Ono
would think tho subjects would soon
get honrfc" If their sovereign chnnced
to have an old-fashioned New England
hay fever. When the king of Scnnnr
sneezes his courtiers turn their backs
on him nnd give a loud slap on their
right thigh. There Is a great deal of
character In the manner of sneezing,
and though even George Washington
could not bo dignified when ho felt a
sneezo coming on, and was in doubts
whether It would come to a head or
not, It n.ust be confessed that a good
sneeze Is more pleasurable than other
wise.

KuglUli Women Drrn Iluilly,
A writer In nn English periodical
confesses to feel humiliation because- of
the fact that In England there aro only
a very few women who dress really
well. The gowns of tho average Eng
lish woman, at tho present time, aro
far too often marred by over-gorgeous-ncss.
She1 allows her dressmaker to
load her bodices with Imitation Jewcjs,
laces, furs and rjbbons. She will even
be persuaded to carry alKiut on her
head and shoulders several years' In
come, In tlio'' shape of diamonds, "hut
she misses .altogether that chic .ele
gance -and crisp freshness that oxact
rlghtness'of tone, which seem Insephr

man, even though she may bo merely
a Paris working girl, whose pretty head
can boast no covering but that of her
own daintily dressed hnlr. In fact,
Daudet was right when, after staying

It as his opinion that "thoro was a

Ono of tho dlfnctilt things to learn Ik
poultry culture Is. that It Is not th
number, but tho kind of Individual
hens or pullets which are kopt that
makes tho difference In Uio balance to
tholr credit nt tho end of tho year, say
a writer In Poultry Herald. Probably
thoro are a great many who koop chick
ens that do not renllzo tho vast differ
ence lu the Individual hens In a flock
Wo can assuro them If they will but
tako tho paliiB to watch tholr fowls In
this respect thoy will And oomo of tho
hens laying more than double tho nurai
ber of eggs some of the others are, and
besides there being u marked difference
in me sizo or the eggs. A very gravs
mistake uniong a grent many Is thai
of keeping nil tho old hens over for lay
ing stock, and housing them nnd the
laying stock together. Tho rosult gen
erally I few If any eggs, as tho old
hens naturally domineer over tho pul
lets anil obtain tho majority of tho feed
thus becoming fat v internally, which
will hinder If not ontlroly stop thero
laying; whllo pullets, which need the
most food to develop them and bring
them up to egg production, havo to do
with tho llttlo they can got after tin
hens havo been satisfied, and cons,
quently few pullets In tho Hock will
begin laying until woll nlong toward
spring. Dy selecting the choicest o
hens for breeders for tho followlug sea
son and giving them a pen by thom
eolves, disposing of all tho others and
depending alono on tho early pulloU
for tho winter eggs, the result would
bo quite different.

Overproduction bt flogs. We hear
a prominent Indiana breeder say not
long ago that hog cholera last season,
was a blessing in disguise. "If all
thoso hogs had lived, and the usual
proportion of them bred," said her
"you could walk from ono end of the
country to tho other on the backs ot
hogs next fall." He lost several thou
sand dollars through the disease, but
ho bolloves his loss from depreciated
values would have been about the
same had there been no dlseaso la

managed may bo made ono of the
farmers' most certain sources of profit,
thero Is no other stock that will In
