A BIRTHDAY SONG.
When berries redden on the-thorn,
Oh, that’s the tune my lovemboru!
When leaves are scarlet-in the vale.
And all the feathered gmsswpale;
When humming wheels thrash out the com.
’Twas then my pretty love Wm born.
When hunters wind the merry horn,
By woodland ways and acres shorn;
'In darkening days when nests are chill,
In silent days when birds are still—
Except the lark, who sings in scorn
0f wintry cameo—my love was born.
0 wailing month with tresses tom!
0 happy month no Fore forlorn!
For thee, though earth lie mute below,
In heaven the trumpet winds shall blow,
The row of eve, the star of mm,
Shall crown the month my love was born.
—Margaret L. Woods in Murray’s Magazine.
THE CATNIP GARDEN.
Onceupon a time there lived in the bean-
tifurcity of Denver a certain gentleman of
thername of T011, and he was a judge. All
overrthe state of Colorado and elsewhere,
too,.the judge was famed for his goodness
and‘his learning. In fact he was so good
and so learned that one Christmas eve
Suits-Claus came and brought him a sweet
littlmbaby son.
Thcjndge was very proud.
“IF—will rear this little son to be a good
andzgreat jurist,” said he, “and when I am
Mtfeeble he will be the staff and com-
fortaofmy age.”
Onecof the first things Judge Toll did
was. to hire a nurse to mks care of the
pretty‘little boy, for it so happened, sadly
enough, that the baby’s moth er was not
sumngcnough to carry the baby and amuse
mall the time. The nurse was a kindly
old lady, who had lived away down east,
where there were many, many baby girls
and some baby boys, so she knew about
babiesand just how to take care of them.
Thisbaby was very fond of his nurse,
and hewould lie in her lap and admire her
antique style of architecture, or would pat
her-wrinkled cheeks and coo the sweetest
baby mnsicimaginable.
This-made Judge Toll very happy.
“How handsome the baby is,” he would
sayto himself, “and what a. great jurist he
willibecome!”
But one day the old nurse came to the
judge and said, “We must do something
for the baby.”
The judge was vastly astonished.
“You surely do not mean to tell me that
the baby is sick?” he exclaimed.
“No, not exactly sick,” said the old
nurse, “but he needs toning up. He is fat
and strong and contented, but there is a
kind of look in his eyes that tells me he
needs a tonic.”
“Then we will call the doctor.”
“There is no need of that,” protested the
old nurse. "The doctor would laugh at
you and say the baby is all right. But I
know just as well as I know anything
that the child needs toning up!” ‘
“Well, then. what shall it be?" asked
Judge Toll. “Paregoric, squills, castor
oil, hive syrup, belladonna?”
“None of them,” answered the old nurse,
“for they are all drugs, and he doesn’t
need drugs. What he needs is toning up.”
The judge said nothing—he did not know
what to say. Of law, of. politics, of mining,
of literature, and of other worldly things
he knew much, but of baby tonics he sim-
ply knew nothing.
“What the baby needs is catnip tea,”
said the old nurse.
up ababy’s system like catnip tea. Down
in Vermont an’ Maine an’ Mass‘chusetts
they always bring up their babies on cut-
nip tea, an’ that's why their babies make
such smart men an’ women."
“But I thought catnip was something
cats ate,” interposed the judge.
“Law me, an’ so it is,” said the old
nurse, “but it’s just as likely living for hu.
man folks. Why, there’s nothin’ in the
world that’ll tone up a weak system like a
bowl of strong catnip tea. I hate to see
this blessed child pinin’ for who, ’d be the
makin’ of him.”
“I know nothing about it at all,” said
Judge Toll, “but if you say the baby needs
catnip I will get some for him.”
Judge Toll wcnt all over town for catnip
--into every drug store, every grocery and
every doctor’s ofiice, but not a sprig of it
could he find anywhere.
“You will have to send cast for it,” the
druggists said; “it doesn’t grow out here
in Colorado.”
“Then send cast for it I will!” cried
Judge Toll. And so he did. That very
night he wrote to an old college friend in
Massachusetts informing him of his dilem~
ma, and asking him to send forthwith a
goodly supply of catnip, no matter how
much it cost.
Well, in about three weeks’ time, there
came along a large express package from
the east, and when the judge opened it he
found that it contained forty-nine bunches
of green catnip. Oh! how fresh and fra
grant they were, and how their green
leaves and assertive odors took one-back
across the arid plains and muddy rivers to
the ferny wild woods of dear old Yankee-
land!
“The baby shall have catnip tea three
times a day now!” cried the judge.
"Here’s enough to last a year,” said the
old nurse.
“I tell you what we’ll do, we’ll plant
some of these bunches in the yard, an’
Whenever we need a few leaves for a tea
we can step out and pluck them. So we
will have an ever increasin’ supply.”
“That’s a good plan,” said the judge.
“We will plant these healing' herbs at
once, and they shall beautify and perfume
our premises.”
That afternoon Judge Toll planted the
catnip herb in pretty rows in his front
yard, and thereafter carefully irrigated
them every morning and evening. It was
surprising how soon the plants took root,
and in less than seven days they wereas
flourishing 'in their adopted soil as they
would have been on the hills of Vermont.
Whenever the old nurse wanted to make a
tea she stepped out into the yard and
plucked a. few catnip leaves, steeped them
in hot water, and there it was. as natural 21
catnip tea as ever simmered on a stove or
trickled down a baby’s throat. ‘l‘hc catnip
bushes meanwhile thrived and shot out
fresh sprigs and leaves, and their frag-
rance filled the air for a great distance. ,
, Uncle Seth Cooley, who lived on Capitol
hill one morning hobbled down to the
Toll place and leaned over the fence and
gazed tenderlyat the thrifty herb.
“J at as nat’ral as ever,” said Uncle Seth
slowly and sadly, as his unostrils dilated.
“Jest as nat’ral as when Mifty. an’ I used
to go buckleberryin’ in the maddennear

you wouldn’t mind givin’ me a bookay on

’em and take ’em home to Mitty.” , And
old Mrs. Baxter came over from Evans’
addition and begged a “bookay,” too. She
cried softly over the coarse, green leaves,

river, just six miles f’m Brattleboro’.” Oh,
yes, tho‘iYankeerfolk camefrom all partsof:
the city‘of Denver to seer-that wonderful:
to telli'themnrvclous stories ofthencum
theherb had effected. And all this time
. the rows of catnip kept growing and grow-
ing andgrowing, and the fragrance-went
up and was waited hither and thither ‘ by
the-breezes.
Away up on top of a very high mount-
ain near Del Norte there lived an old'Mal—
tcse cat, the maternal ancestor of many
generations of her species. She had come
across the plains in a prairie schooner in
1859 with a party of emigrants, and now,
she lived in the hospitable loft of the sta-
ble nearest the summit of an imposing
peak not far from Del Norte. One night
this old Maltese cat was traversing the
ridge pole of the stable when she was
brought to a sudden standstill by the
breeze blowing from the northeast.
“Wee-ow-ow!” exclaimed thevold Mal-x
tmefeline; and her eyes glittered strange-
ly, her tail began to expand, and her ven-
erable fur rose on her back.
“Why, gran’ma,” inquired one of the.
younger cats, 9. demure maiden tabbytof
uncertain age, “why, gran’ma, what ails
you?”
“Wee-ow—ow!” replied the old Maltese
cat again. “Weeow-ow! I smell catnip!"
Now the other cats had heard aboutscat-
nip, but had never seen any. The tales
which the Maltese cat had told about her
experiences with the favorite weed before
she left her kittenhood home-in Mainehad
been handed around among the other cats
of Colorado as quaint legends. All the
other cats had heard tell of the subtle
glories of catnip, but none had. ever beheld
or even whifi’cd the grateful. herb.
“Where?” asked twenty young cats in
chorus.
“Oh! I don’t know.” replied theold Mal-
tese cat, “but I can smell it,and1 m going
to follow up the trail until Ifind it.”
With these portentous words the old
Maltese cat whisked her tail, gave a wild
“Wee-ow,” and started on a. run for Don-
ver, 300 miles away.
“ Wee—o w-ow l” cried the‘other cats—and.
the kittens too-and ofi they started for
Denver. giving the old Maltese a hotAraco-
- over hill and valley, peak and plain, mead
and wold.
The word passed around, and the cry
nip! catnip! catnip! We’re going to get
some catnip!” The tidings reached Alamo-
sa, and ran along the whole of the mountain.
range of Colorado. The excitement was
intense—cats hurried from every house,
cabin, barn, stable. shed and mine, and
joined the vast procession. Every city,
town, hamlet and camp was instantly de-
serted by its cat population. Such a yowl-
ing had never before been heard, sucha
seething army of cats had never been seen.
The minor in his lonely hut, hearing the-
awful rush, sprang from his cot and cried:
“The snow slide! the snow slide! Run for
your lives!” But it was only the cats on
the gallop to Denver! Oh, it was a pro-
digious spectacle, and the old Maltese cat
led the van!
Judge Toll was dreaming pleasant
dreams that night, when he was awak-
ened therefrom by 3 din which threw him
bed, slipped anxiously into his trousers,
seized his faithful shotgun and stole softly
to the window. The strange noise seemed
to come from the front yard—yes, from the
rows of catnip bushes.
Then the judge peered out of the win-~
dew, and what do you think he saw?
Myriads of cats—billows of cats! Cats of
i every size, weight, color, sex, condition
' and description. Black cats, white cats,
, tabbie cats, Maltese cats, tortoise shell
' cats, brindle cats, spotted cats, striped

number! And there they were in Judge
Toll’s front yard, among and on the rows
of catnip bushes—purring, sprawling, yowl-
ing like so many demons.
“Pur-r-r,” said the old, wayback Maltese
cat, all the way from Del Norte—“purr—r-r!
oh! isn’t this lovely? It’s the first catnip
I’ve had in going on twenty-five years——
purr—r-r! I thank heaven that I have lived
to see this grateful fruit introduced into

And then all the other cats—there must.

awful, lingering peal of thunder. But this
was not all. Oh, no! By the bright moon-

cats, the mountain peaks swannedwith
cats, and cats, cats, cats swept along like
a swirling torrent toward one focal point,
Judge 'l‘oll’s catnip bed!
And, lo! the cats were coming from other
directions, too—from the arid plains of
Kansas and from Deer Trail, from Monot—
ony Water Tank and from thedreary con-
fines of Nebraska. The breeze blowing
from the north brought the :noise of vast
armies of cats on their way from Laramie
and Cheyenne!
The cats already in the judge’s front
yard-how they purred and» writhed‘ and
yowlcd, and how the sparks of electricity
shot from their furry backs as they rubbed
affectionately up against the rows of cat-
nip! It was in fact a. carnival—~13. cat sat-
urnalia! '
The judge said to himself, "I will shoot
in among all these trospasscrs and drive
astate my beauteous exotics?”
But then came the second better thought.
Would it not be cruel to deprive these
creatures of the long denied pleasure they
were now enjoying in the catnip bcd? None
of them, save the old Maltese, had ever be-
fore seen or tasted the precious herb; they
knew of it only from the legendary lore
with which the old way-back Maltese cat
had rcgaled them, their fathers, their
mothersrtheir grandmothers, their grand-
fathers, and so on ad infinitum.
And the more Judge Toll' thought it
over the more he became satisfied that he
ought, in all.humanity,to let the cats stay
and enjoy the catnip. So at last he went
back to his bed and renewed his slumber
as best he could. ~
When he got up next morning and looked
into his front yard not a. cat was to be seen,
nor yet a vestige of the catnip either. The
’ turf was widely rent and torn up, and
every leaf, twig, sprig and root of catnip
had disappeared. It was conjectured that
thecats took it all away with them. They

DAIRY AND CREAMERY.
WHERE THE PROFITS OF WINTER.-
DAlRYING COME IN.
John Gould Says Winter Dairying I)
Practicablc to the Progressive Farmer,
but It Cannot Be Carried On by Old
Time Methods—It Pays Well.
Winter dairying is practicable to those
who will put themselves in the line of
progressive dairy thought, but it cannot
be carried on with old time methods.
“The failure of cows to breed at the
proper time” is not the greatest obstacle
to overcome in winter dairying. First,
the barn, the stable, the water, the feed,
and the cow each have to be consider-
ed and made to harmonize with the
“changed season.” The .winter car-col
themilking dairy is an artificial crea
tion, ascompared with the usual sum-
mer keep. There must be a warm stable
—-not allowed to approach the freezing,
temperature. It must bekept at least
20 dogs. above. Light in this stable
should be abundant, and sunshine fall
'as much as possible within its walls.
There should be an abundant supply
of water at command in the barn, so
that the cows can be watered. there
without much labor. This is cheaply
provided for with a thirty barrel gal-
vanized iron tank, with close cover,
standing in the stable near the cows,
supplied from a well or spring. Then
the water is supplied to the cowsat a
uniform temperature of 50 dogs. with-
out heaters‘or pipes. The winter food
most conducive to abundant milk flow
is cheaply provided for by the-use of the
silo and bran, Witha luncheon of clover
hay. Six tons of silage for each cow
will abundame feed her from Novem-
ber to May‘20; mill feed at $12 per ton
will supply the food for a ,milch cow for
ten cents per day. I have done even
better than this. Hay to exceed three
pounds per day to each cowis not needed
in the winter dairy.
The winter dairy, rightly managed, is
profitable because the prices for dairy
produce are much better from Septem-
ber to J une than from April to. Nov. 15,
which is about the limit of milk giving
for the summer dairy. The milln'ng
period of the October calving cow is
fully-sixty days longer than that of the
spring milker. There is little difficulty
in keeping the October milkers in profit-
able milk giving nine months, often
more, and the men with silos and winter
dairies show the figures that their cows
give fully one-fourth more milk in the
same number of days than will the same
dairy milkedin summer, and the balance
of the milk obtained in the longer milk:
ing period ‘is clear gain. The dairy that
gives Worth of milk in summer gives
$65 winter milked.
The question of cheap winter feeding
is being rapidly settled with many.
Others are now fully of the opinion that
the winter milker can be kept as cheaply
with shorts and silage as the dry cow
can be on hay and the ordinary plan 0!
keep. One of the most successful dairy-
men of New York. who keeps his dairy
on silage the year rounzl, puts the cost
at: grain, $25; silage, $12; average in-
come of each cow, $75. An acre of good
silage more than keeps a cow one year;
this is a. result that scores of other farm-
ers testify to and with as good success.
The advantages of Winter dairying aside
from all this in the way of paying mar-
kets, cheaper labor, more uniform care
of the cows and other matters need no
elaboration here. To the man who has
a. well cared for winter dairy these mat-
ters are self evident—John Gould in

Lime and Sulphur Flavors.
The small quantity of lime in common
barrel salt condemns it for dairy use be
cause of the soaponic effect on butter,
and the writer has held June butter in
the granulated form until he thought he
could detect the fumes of sulphur gases.
To test water for sulphur make a
strong brine and add one-fourth butter-
milk, and bottle tight and examine at
the end of four months.
If when distilled or rain water is used
these sulphurous gases still rise, then it
must be generated from the milk and
salt. I visited two creameries last sea-
son where I could smell the sulphur in

Floor for Dairy House.

floor of the dairy should be. of such ma.-

best floor is made of smooth flagstones

,Dairy products have reached prices
that ought to .be satisfactory to produc-

A MlGHTY MEAN THING._
' Making Game of a Chicago Girl Tcni- .
porarlly‘in Charge of a Book Counter.
Some oflthe downtown merchants put in
a stock of- books just before the holiday
season, and sell the volumes at waydown
prices that would make the authors groan.
Sometimes these book counters, or stalls,
are placed in charge of a'young lady who
has all the necessary qualifications” for
making one buy, but is utterly destitute
of'the sort of information the buyer some-
times wants before he makes a purchase.
It isn’t the fault of the young lady. She
could puzzle 3 man very quickly if she»
were over in the embroidery department
and a man went there to purchase. .But
she is sent to the book stall by the man-
agar, who doesn’t. stop to inquire Whether
she knows anything about books, and the ’
result is that the young lady is often
quizzed in away that makes her cheeks
tingle. >
A gentleman was at one of these book
stalls just before Christmas, “looking over
the bargains.”
“Have you seen the beautiful books
which we advertised today?” asked the
young lady behind the books.
The gentleman said he had seen the ad-
vertisement, but not the books.
“Indeed,” the young lady replied. “Well, '
they are here. Have you seen our beauti-
ful ‘Romeo and Juliet?’ Here it is. Only
$3”— and the odd cents, whatever they
fire. .
The gentleman concluded he would have
some fun _ quietly, so he looked over his
glasses at the young lady and asked: '
“Who is the painter of this ‘Romeo and
Juliet?”
“Painter!” exclaimed the young lady.
“It isn’t a painting, it’s a book.”
“Ah, I beg your pardon. Who is the au-
thor—I didn’t mean painter—I meant au-
that?”
The young lady blushed and then ral-
lied.
“Well,” she said, “if you don’t know
who wrote ‘Romeo and Juliet’ I don’t think
there is much use showing you the book.”
“Possibly not,” the gentleman replied.
“But I am a. stranger in the city, and I have
been fooled so much since I came to Chi-
cago that I thought I might venture to ask
who wrote the beautiful book which you
have advertised.”
This was a long speech. The gentleman
intended it should be, for during its de-
livery the young lady peeped into the front
of the book, and, shutting it quickly, said
in a decided way: “Mr. Shakespeare wrote
it. Maybe you have heard of him.”
She uttered the last sentence in a mean
way-the way in which only a woman can
uttter a mean sentence. It was scorn and
hatefulne‘ss and triumph all in a heap.
The gentleman replied: “It seems to me .
I have. Have you his other works?”
There was no impropriety in the query,
and yet the young lady blushed again and
looked at the man as if she could kill him.
Then a light broke over her face, and the
look of triumph came back to her cym—
the look which comes into the cat’s eyes
when it. discovers that the canary is asleep.
“l ivill ' see,” she said, and in her face
was :2. you-haven’t—got-mc-yet expression. '
Then nilG glided to the end of the counter,
where l'. he hairless headed floor walker was
posing 1'1 his Sunday school attitude. She
whispered to him and he shook his head.
She glided back to the place of beginning,
and .—:.-'l in a firm. you-are-a—wretch tone
of voice, “No, sir; we had his other works,
but they have all been sold.”
“I am sorry to annoy you,” said the gen-
tleman, “but can you tell me where I could
get ‘Shakcspeare’s Hiawatha’ in the same
binding as this? The publisher’s list must
be in your house.”
The young lady bit her underlip until all
the blood in her beautiful face—for she is
a. beautiful girl—rushed to the place of at-
tack. A woman’s intuition is quick. She
knew this man was intent upon mischief,
and yet there was nothing in his speech or
manner to which she could take exception. 5
She again had recourse to the pious look—
ing floor walker, who said something and
smiled. She returned to confront the man
whom she now hated. She informed him
in a ho rryiug way that this “Romeo and
Juliet” was the only one of Mr. Shakes-
peare’s works in the house, and that the
house had no publisher’s list.
“Very well,” said the gentleman. “I will
kick at this, if you please, and see whose.
version it is, if you have no objection.”
“Certainly,” she replied. And the way
she said it!
He looked at the copy for a half hour. It
seemed a whole afternoon to the young
lady. Then he said to her:
“Of course it is not your fault. I don’t
blame you or your house. You could not
have known this, of course. You will par-
don me, of course.”
This was one time when she had nothing
to say. She stood like a piece of statuary
that is to be rallied OR for a fair.
The gentleman seeing her position cou~
tinned: ' ' ‘
“According to this edition of ‘Romeo
and Juliet,’ Juliet kills herself, when the
truth is she was smothered to death by
Othello with a. pillow. The book is a
fraud.”
“I had not read it,” the young lady au-
swered in a subdued manner. “I am here
to sell books—not to read them,” she con-
cluded.
“Of course not,” the gentleman replied,
relenting. “Have you Mother Browning’s
Melodies?” he asked.
”You mean ‘Mother Goose?’ ”
"No. I mean _Mother Browning. She
used to be Mother Goose, but she is mar-
ried.”
The young lady put a. pin in her hair
and said something about “high time she
was.” '
“Where is the soap counter?” asked the
wretch. -
“Second aisle to the right. That way.”
The young lady felt relieved when he
asked her for the soap counter. It was an
indication that he was going. But heliu-
geral. '
“Maybe you have it here,” he said. “I
want a book of poetical quotations. I have
made a bet with a friend of mine that
Campbell is the author of the line ‘Whilo
there’s life there soap,’ and it occurred to
me 1 might find it at the-soap counter, but
maybe you have it here.”
“I think you will find it in thesecond
aisle to the right,” she said with indiffer-
once.
“Find what?” he. asked; “the book on
quotations or”—
“No,” she shrieked, “the soap!”
And she left him standing there while -
she went to wait on an old gentleman who
was looking at the juvenile prints 'of
Noah’s ark at the far end of the counter.
“Will Christmas . ever come this year!”
she murmured as she wentaway.—Chicago .

askedtpermission to bring the body to his
rooms-while the arrangements for inter-
ment were completed. Permission was
granted, and a handsome cofliu arrived,
containing what appeared to be acorpse in
a long white shroud. The coffin was
placed in the dining room. Nextm'ght,
after all had retired save the ledger and.

of a. ghost.

and mistress’ room, followed by the ghost,
who mounted sentinel at the door, con-
torted his features and waved his hands.
The maid crept under the bed and her em—
ployers hid their faces under the bed cloth~
lug. At this time a. great noise like furni-
ture moving was heard in the house, and
the three terrified objects came to the con-
clusion that the house had been taken poa‘
session of by a regiment of spirits. At
last all was quiet, the ghost had disap—
pearcd and a search was made. The house
was found to have been stripped of every
particle of furniture, and all the valuable
family plate had gone too. No psycholog—
ical society investigated the phenomenon,
but the police did, and the lodger and the
sham corpse were both hanged at Tyburn.
