M. Sir Robert—At last! I knew should drop on you soon. Where do you hide? -I'm forever meeting your wife, you know, but I never come across you anywhere. Capt. Vernon—No ? That's not sur-prising. I have been in India—and other places (yawning)—for which consult the back numbers of The Army List. Sir Robert—Of course, yes. I heard you were abroad, you know, or in the country, or something. Lucky beg-gar ! London's been very dull the last year or two. Capt. Vernon—Indeed ! Have you found it so ? The papers have reported it much as usual, and you as having been present at most things. Sir Robert—Yes ? Well, I live, you know. All I mean is that it is not so •musing as it was. Capt. Vernon—What isn't ? Sir Robert—Why, going around, you know. Capt. Vernon—Bobble! if you say "you know " to me again I'll get up and punch your head, exactly as if we were at school. " Going round," I suppose, means dances, club suppers, jewel robberies and other society past-times. Then Cowes, Scotland, Melton and so on. And it's beginning to pall, isn't it? (Mr. Lampson enters the smoking-room). Stop ! Don't answer. There's some fellow just come in, and he's dodging about behind you, and I think he's listening, or trying to. Sir Robert (looking round)—My dear fellow, don't talk so loud. It's old Lampson. (Mr. Lampson, who has been hovering behind them, re-tires agam). Capt.. Vernon—And who's old man Lampson ? Sir Robert—Who's old Lampson ? Weil, you are out of the movement. Dosen't Mrs. Vernon ever tell you things? That's Lampson. He's the richest man in Europe, and always growing richer. Just now he is making millions out of some electiic company. Every one says there's a swindle in it somewhere, but it's a tremendous affair, you know. Capt. Vernon (warningly)—Bob-bie! Sir Robert—Well, you don't know. The thing's a company called the Aladdin Illuminating Syndicate. It's a sort of gratituous electric company. They put in an instalment of their stuff for nothing, if they may take away all your gas fittings and oil-lamps. You've seen the advertise-ment, " New Lamps for Old," all over the town ? Capt. Vernon—What do they make by it? Sir Robert—No one knows. But the shares are at a tremendous pte-mium. My idea is that when all this part of the town depends OD the syndi-cate for light the supply will give out, and gas and oil will go up ; and it will be found that old Lampson owns all the gas works and hag the oil shops in the hollow of his hand. Capt. Vernon—H'm Does everybody think as highly as that of Mr. Lampson ? Sir Robert—Every one thinks a good deal of him. I tell you, th8y say he's the richest man in Europe. Capt. Vernon—And be is a member here—of the Blenheim ? Sir Robert—Yes, of course. Capt. Vernon (thoughtfully)—A member of the Blenheim! You're right. I'm clean out of the movement. By the way, how's your wife? Sir Robert—She's very well, indeed, thank you. She's in the country. Capt. Vernon—This country ? Sir Robert—Of course. What do you mean ? Capt. Vernon—Oh, I thought it might be "India, or abroad, or some-where, you know," as you put it just now. For, curiously enough, though everybody I meet has always just seen you and all the papers say where you were yesterday and where you will be to-morrow, I never came across any mention of Lady Carstairs. Sir Robert (after a moment's silence) —My dear fellow, she never goes out anywhere. She hates it. Capt. Vernon—She has my best sympathies. Sir Robert—You see, she led such a quiet life at home before I married her, and, between us, got rather drop-ped on by her elder sisters, so that somehow things frighten her. She won't go out anywhere. Capt. Vernon—So you have to go out for both ? Sir Robert—Well ? Capt. Vernon—Well ? Sir Robert (a little sulkily)—I think that'll do, Vernon. Capt. Vernon—Do you mean that we should not talk over our wives in a club ? Good Lord ! What does it matter ? If you go into the Imherbis or the Peterborough you'll hear lots of fellows talking about my wife. Sir Robert (indignantly)—There isn't a word against Mrs. Vernon. Capt. Vernon (dryly)—Really ? She dosed't deserve a word against her ; but that's hardly the same thing. Isn't it odd, though, how things turn out ? Here's Lady Carstairs renounc ing society because she has been quiet-ly brought up, while my wife—who could have been brought up in quieter fashion than my wife? She lived all her girlhood asleep in a quiet country house. Literally asleep! And every one round her was asleep. Her mother slept because she belonged to the school of old ladies who do not open their eyes for fear they should be shocked; and her father slept— mentally and physically—from over-eating. The servants slept from old age, and she herself slept from ignor-ance. Yet no sooner does she get away from her home than—well, she wakes up with a vengeance. Sir Robert—Yes, it's curious. But we are better off than many men. Capt. Vernon—I am not complain-ing. I have no cause; and if I had, I hope I shouldn't come and whine to you. I only say that it is odd that we two, who were certainly more care-ful than most men in our choice, and who both married from love, do not seem to have got quite what we want-ed. Sir Robert—Don't let us talk about it. But, as you know, thera was one girl who would have suited us both, I believe. Do you recollect how mad we were on her? By Jove, Vernon you hated me in those days. Capt. Vernon (flushing a little)— You mean Barbara Wardour ? Sir Robert—Yes, Barbara Wardour, the Princess of China. Capt. Vernon—Yes; I was very fond of her. But that was ages ago. Why that absurd nickname ? Sir Robert—I will promise to leave off saying " you know " to you, for you know nothing. Everybody calls her that since her father's death. You remember, he was always thought a lunatic for buying all those teapot things. Well, I give you my word that at his auction the British Govern-ment, two Rajahs, America generally and a stock exchange syndicate were all bidding against each other, and green with jealousy. They took £70, 000 for pots and pans alone, and a lot of medallion rubbish fetched nearly as much the next day. Why didn't you go to the sale ? Oh, I remember, met your wife there and she said— Capt. Vernon (interrupting—Yes, that I was " 1a the country or some-where." But about Miss Wardour. Do you ever see her? Is she Miss Wardour still? Sir Robert—Yes. There's no one good enough for her. Capt. Vernon^Is she so proud ? Sir Robert—No; not proud. But she knows her value. Capt. Vernon—As eyery good woman should. And how clever she was! Sir Robert—Awfully ! And so good with it! Capt. Vernon—Yes. Most unworld-ly girl! Well, whoever gets her will be a lucky man. (Mr. Lampson is seen approaching). Don't mention her in front of this—this thing. Sir Robert—He's coming to ask us to dinner. What a bore ! Capt. Vernon—You can refuse. Sir Robert—H'm ! He's rather a big man in his way, you know. (Look-ing up at the intruder). How do, Lampson ? Mr. Lampson (heartily)—How are ye, Sir Robert ? Beautiful as usual. What a button-hole! I want you to come and have a little dinner with me, to-morrow. Excuse short notice. Amphitryon—and I'll see to the wine myself. So you can't do better. Sir Robert—Well,-you know Mr. Lampson—I don't know. I only know you're coming. You al-ways do. Ex (Looking at Capt. Vernon). Perhaps you've some en gagement with your friend ? (Pauses, and Sir Robert at length introduces them to each other). If so, why not bring him? May l count on you, Capt. Vernon ? Capt. Vernon—Well, you see Mr. Lampson—I don't see. I never see when I don't want to see. You must come. It's rather a great occasion for me. Don't tell every one, though. 1 suppose it will be in all the papers soon enough, but the dinner will be one of my last bachelor entertainments. I'm going to be married. Capt. Vernon (yery languidly, and looking out of the window)—Indeed ! Er fortunate Jady! Sir Robert (looking Mr. Lampson up and down, and curling his mustache) —Who on earth is going to marry you, Lampson ? „* Mr. Lampson—Miss Barbara Ward-our, the Princess of China. Time. The young man had been there several hours, but he was one of those who are oblivious of the passing of duration. The girl had yawned behind her cambric handkerchief until it actually had a nap on it. Still he stayed on and talked. The girl's evident weariness at last appealed to him. " Bless my soul!" he exclaimed; " what time is it ?" She shook her head hopelessly. " Time ?" she asked. " It must be eternity." The Game Association. Lancaster Intelligencer. Friday evening a meeting was held in common council chamber of the men who recently started a movement to stock the county about Lancaster with partridges which are to be brought from the far est. The object of these gentlemen, who are all gunners, is not only to stock the county with quail, but to protect them afterwards. Quite a large number of gentlemen re-ported to the call for the meeting. The meeting was called to order at eight o'clock, and the following officers were elected : President, John B Peoples ; secretary, David L. Deen ; treasurer, James C. Wiley. President Peoples thanked those present for the honor and said he would leave nothing undone to make the organization a success and felt sure that Lancaster would support it. A committee on by-laws was select-ed : Messrs. John B. Peoples, I. N. Wingert, H. E. Anderson, Robert Clark and Geo. S. Franklin. The committee on membership was selected as follows : Messrs. David L. Doen, I. N. Wingert, H. E. Stoner, Jno.Snyder and Jacob F. Wolfer. This name of the organization was adopted " The Lancaster County Game Association." The announcement was made at the meeting that so far $310 had been sub-scribed for the purpose of securing game and to carry on the work of the association. That sum will be shortly increased to $500,:and the membership is sure to be much larger. The organization recently formed in Berks county sent an order to Kansas for 1200 quail, which they will at once distribute around the county. L i t t l e for Creditors. Lancaster Intelligencer. Ex-Judge McMullen, auditor ap-pointed to distribute the balance in the hands of John D. Skiles, assignee of Thomas Baumgardner and wife, filed his report and it was confirmed nisi. The auditor had before him debts aggregating $542,13414 The assets for distribution in the hands of the assignee are $46,227.43 and the many criditors will get 8i per cent, of their claims. When Mr. Baumgardner failed it was supposed that the creditors would get a large percentage oi their claims, but the above report indicates that the creditors will get,a very small percent-age. The report is subject to exceptions and some of the creditors will no doubt except, so that the legality of the sale Of some of Mr. Baumgardners property to his son can be tegted. The auditors report in the assigned estate of Ed win Eberman was also pre-sented. The assets are $48,215.82, and the liabilities $43,892.41. The creditors will get 91 per cent, on this distribution. There is other property of Mr. Eberman not yet disposed of, and when sold'his creditors will be paid in full.

'Some P o i n t s F o r t h e D a i r y m a n W h i ch Will he Profitable to Observe—Re-s u l t s of S c i e n t i f i c Experiments. Bulletin No. 24, of the station at State College, Pa., just issued, gives the results of an experiment by Pro-fessors Waters and Caldwell and Mr, Weld upon the question of the most profitable amount of food for a milch ow. In these experiments, ten cows were fed a ration beginning with 8 pounds of grain and 12 pounds of hay and gradually increasing up to as high as 19 pounds of grain and 27 pounds of hay per day and head, and then gradually decreasing to the original amount. Throughout the experiment accurate notes were taken of the amount and cost of the food, the milk produced by each animal and its butter value as determined by the Babcock test. Perhaps the most striking lesson of the experiment in the demonstration it gives of the profit there is in liberal feeding. The cheapest ration used cost 18 8 cents per day and produced butter valued at 26 5 cents, making a net profit of 7.7 cents per day percow. An increase of 2 9 cents per day per cow in the cost of this ration made the daily value of the butter 31 cents and the net profit 9.3 cents per day or a difference of 1.6 cents per day per cow io favor of the more costly ration. In other words, the farmer who attempt-ed to economize by feeding the cheap-er ration, would, with a herd of 25 cows, save $217 50 per year on his feed bills, but would lose $337.50 worth of butter that he might have produced with the more costly ration, so that his illjudged attempt at economy would result in a net loss of $120. The cheaper ration, moreover, is what would ordinarily be considered a good ration, and the majority of dairy-men would be likely to feed less rather than more, yet the results of this bulletin show conclusively that with such cows as these, the more expensive ration was really the more economical. A further increase of the cost of the ration, however, to 25.1 cents per day gave no further^increase in the butter product, and the net profit was there-by cut down to 5.9 cents per day or 1.8 cents less than with the cheapest ration of the three. In other words, the experiments indicate that there is a certain medium ration for each cow which will give the greatest net profit and that any attempt to economize by feeding less than this will result in a loss, while, on the other, hand, it is possible to feed a cow too much as well as too little. Generally, however, there is more daDger of feeding too little than too much. The experiment also brings out in a striking light the great individual difference in cows and the great im-portance of a careful study by the dairyman of each individual of his herd, both as regards the amount of milk and butter produced and the cost of feed consumed. The net profit yielded by each one of the ten cows used in this experiment was the great-est on the medium ration, but it varied in amount from 2 2 cents per day to 24 cents per day, equivalent, for a milking period of 300 days, to $6 60 and $72 respectively. The increased profit coming from the better feeding, too, varied greatly with different animals, some respond-ing promptly and freely to the increase, while on others it produced but little effect. The figures of the bulletin show likewise what great differences in profit there may be between cows producing yery nearly the same total amount of milk and butter per year. For an example, the records show that last year : Marguerite produced, 6,512 pounds of milk and 296 pounds of butter. Bamonaproduced, 5,459 pounds of milk and 279 pounds of butter. By the customary standard of com-parison, Marguerite would have been regarded as the superior animal, bar-ring difference in breeding, etc., and would have commanded the higher price. On comparing the daily net profit returned by these animals, how-ever, we find a remarkable difference not indicated or suggested by the butter and milk records. Assuming that they remain fresh for 300 days and taking the average net profit per day of all periods, we have a yearly profit for Marguerite of. $31 50 Bamona of 61 50 On this basis at the end of six years, which, for this case, we assume to be the productive life of a cow, and disre-garding the offspring, they would have made a total net return of Marguerite $189 00 Bamona 369 00 This means that Marguerite would have yielded ten per cent, compound interest on a purchase price of $106, while Ramona would have paid the same dividend on a purchase .price of WE ARE NOW READY To make many people happy for Xmas.

Total net profit for one year $14 70 Total net profit for six years, 88 20 The reader may regard these as ex-treme cases, and yet they were select-ed from the ten animals used in this experiment, and there is no reason to doubt that as great differences might be found in any.ordinary herd. The Cat H a d Gone. A German paper says that a cook, who had burned a five-pound joint of veal, to avoid a scolding she threw the spoiled meat away and told her mis-tress the cat had eaten it. "Indeed!" said the lady. " We will see about that," and she took the cat, put it on the kitchen scales, and found that it weighed precisely five pounds. " There, Katrine," she said, " I suppose that is the five pounds of meat; but please tell me where is the cat ?" B r i g h t Boys. "Huh !" said the first Benedick, "I don't suppose that there is a boy quite as bright as mine in the whole city of Buffalo. The other night we had ice cream for dinner. Now, he usually likes ice cream, but this particular lot seemed to -be too cold for him. What do you suppose he did ? Why he went and put on his overcoat and cap and mittens and then ate it. Thought that if he was warmer the cream wouldn't be so cold. See ? Speaking about bright boys." " Well," said the Second Benedick, " I've got a bright boy myself. He's in the blue ribbon class and don't you forget iis. Why, the other day he was inquiring of the hired girl what she was made of, and the hired girl happen-ed to be making pies. So she held up a lump of dough and said : ' You're made of dough.' 'An' is brack ladies like the washlady made of brack dough ?' he asked. ' Yes,' she said. He thought for a long time and final-ly said: ' Mary, I don't believe it. How'd they get the jelly in for the eyes ?' And you will talk about bright boys, will you ?" " It pains me to mention it," said the Third Benedick, " but I must say that I've got a boy up at my house who simply leads the procession. He taught me a lesson the other day. It was at the breakfast table and he had a soft-boiled egg. He was making bad work of it and had daubed his nose and cheeks and hands. Finally I look-ed over at him and said, in a manner meant to be mildly sarcastic, ' Why don't you put it on your hair, Reg ?' " "And what did he do ?" asked the other two Benedicks in the same breath. ' He put it on his hair," replied the Third Benedick, sadly. A Great Army Wants Work. It is estimated that the number of unemployed in Chicago is nearly 117,- 000, and so great had their sufferings become that the Illinois Conference of Charities and Corrections, at a special meeting Saturday, appointed a com-mittee of 100 representatives to at once proceed to raise a charity fund of $1,000,000 for the relief of the most pressing wants of the worthy and de-serving poor. Editor Stead, who was present at the meeting, suggested that if the ministers and millionaires were turn-ed out into the streets for one night the money would be forthcoming at once. By actual count, 1,119 men sought shelter in City Hall for Tuesday night, and as many more were stowed away on Stone floors on Saturday night. E i g h t R e c o r d Beaters.

He was admitted, but none knew him, except the house dog, which went wild with joy, licked the man's hands and sprang all over him. Then the stranger revealed himself. He was Micharl, the long lost brother, who mysteriously disappeared in 1876, while he was a policeman under Mayor Stockley. Though search was made in every direction for Mic iael, no trace of him was found, and when his parents heard that he had enlisted in the Seventh United States Cavalry and had perished with Custer in the battle of the Little Big Horn, they mourned him as dead. When he established his identity the children were awakened to see " Uncle Mike" and the proverbial fatted calf was killed. Michael tells a strange story of his wanderings, drift-ing from one place to another, and finally locating in East Saginaw, Mich, and making a fortune of $50,000,

M. Sir Robert—At last! I knew should drop on you soon. Where do you hide? -I'm forever meeting your wife, you know, but I never come across you anywhere. Capt. Vernon—No ? That's not sur-prising. I have been in India—and other places (yawning)—for which consult the back numbers of The Army List. Sir Robert—Of course, yes. I heard you were abroad, you know, or in the country, or something. Lucky beg-gar ! London's been very dull the last year or two. Capt. Vernon—Indeed ! Have you found it so ? The papers have reported it much as usual, and you as having been present at most things. Sir Robert—Yes ? Well, I live, you know. All I mean is that it is not so •musing as it was. Capt. Vernon—What isn't ? Sir Robert—Why, going around, you know. Capt. Vernon—Bobble! if you say "you know " to me again I'll get up and punch your head, exactly as if we were at school. " Going round," I suppose, means dances, club suppers, jewel robberies and other society past-times. Then Cowes, Scotland, Melton and so on. And it's beginning to pall, isn't it? (Mr. Lampson enters the smoking-room). Stop ! Don't answer. There's some fellow just come in, and he's dodging about behind you, and I think he's listening, or trying to. Sir Robert (looking round)—My dear fellow, don't talk so loud. It's old Lampson. (Mr. Lampson, who has been hovering behind them, re-tires agam). Capt.. Vernon—And who's old man Lampson ? Sir Robert—Who's old Lampson ? Weil, you are out of the movement. Dosen't Mrs. Vernon ever tell you things? That's Lampson. He's the richest man in Europe, and always growing richer. Just now he is making millions out of some electiic company. Every one says there's a swindle in it somewhere, but it's a tremendous affair, you know. Capt. Vernon (warningly)—Bob-bie! Sir Robert—Well, you don't know. The thing's a company called the Aladdin Illuminating Syndicate. It's a sort of gratituous electric company. They put in an instalment of their stuff for nothing, if they may take away all your gas fittings and oil-lamps. You've seen the advertise-ment, " New Lamps for Old," all over the town ? Capt. Vernon—What do they make by it? Sir Robert—No one knows. But the shares are at a tremendous pte-mium. My idea is that when all this part of the town depends OD the syndi-cate for light the supply will give out, and gas and oil will go up ; and it will be found that old Lampson owns all the gas works and hag the oil shops in the hollow of his hand. Capt. Vernon—H'm Does everybody think as highly as that of Mr. Lampson ? Sir Robert—Every one thinks a good deal of him. I tell you, th8y say he's the richest man in Europe. Capt. Vernon—And be is a member here—of the Blenheim ? Sir Robert—Yes, of course. Capt. Vernon (thoughtfully)—A member of the Blenheim! You're right. I'm clean out of the movement. By the way, how's your wife? Sir Robert—She's very well, indeed, thank you. She's in the country. Capt. Vernon—This country ? Sir Robert—Of course. What do you mean ? Capt. Vernon—Oh, I thought it might be "India, or abroad, or some-where, you know," as you put it just now. For, curiously enough, though everybody I meet has always just seen you and all the papers say where you were yesterday and where you will be to-morrow, I never came across any mention of Lady Carstairs. Sir Robert (after a moment's silence) —My dear fellow, she never goes out anywhere. She hates it. Capt. Vernon—She has my best sympathies. Sir Robert—You see, she led such a quiet life at home before I married her, and, between us, got rather drop-ped on by her elder sisters, so that somehow things frighten her. She won't go out anywhere. Capt. Vernon—So you have to go out for both ? Sir Robert—Well ? Capt. Vernon—Well ? Sir Robert (a little sulkily)—I think that'll do, Vernon. Capt. Vernon—Do you mean that we should not talk over our wives in a club ? Good Lord ! What does it matter ? If you go into the Imherbis or the Peterborough you'll hear lots of fellows talking about my wife. Sir Robert (indignantly)—There isn't a word against Mrs. Vernon. Capt. Vernon (dryly)—Really ? She dosed't deserve a word against her ; but that's hardly the same thing. Isn't it odd, though, how things turn out ? Here's Lady Carstairs renounc ing society because she has been quiet-ly brought up, while my wife—who could have been brought up in quieter fashion than my wife? She lived all her girlhood asleep in a quiet country house. Literally asleep! And every one round her was asleep. Her mother slept because she belonged to the school of old ladies who do not open their eyes for fear they should be shocked; and her father slept— mentally and physically—from over-eating. The servants slept from old age, and she herself slept from ignor-ance. Yet no sooner does she get away from her home than—well, she wakes up with a vengeance. Sir Robert—Yes, it's curious. But we are better off than many men. Capt. Vernon—I am not complain-ing. I have no cause; and if I had, I hope I shouldn't come and whine to you. I only say that it is odd that we two, who were certainly more care-ful than most men in our choice, and who both married from love, do not seem to have got quite what we want-ed. Sir Robert—Don't let us talk about it. But, as you know, thera was one girl who would have suited us both, I believe. Do you recollect how mad we were on her? By Jove, Vernon you hated me in those days. Capt. Vernon (flushing a little)— You mean Barbara Wardour ? Sir Robert—Yes, Barbara Wardour, the Princess of China. Capt. Vernon—Yes; I was very fond of her. But that was ages ago. Why that absurd nickname ? Sir Robert—I will promise to leave off saying " you know " to you, for you know nothing. Everybody calls her that since her father's death. You remember, he was always thought a lunatic for buying all those teapot things. Well, I give you my word that at his auction the British Govern-ment, two Rajahs, America generally and a stock exchange syndicate were all bidding against each other, and green with jealousy. They took £70, 000 for pots and pans alone, and a lot of medallion rubbish fetched nearly as much the next day. Why didn't you go to the sale ? Oh, I remember, met your wife there and she said— Capt. Vernon (interrupting—Yes, that I was " 1a the country or some-where." But about Miss Wardour. Do you ever see her? Is she Miss Wardour still? Sir Robert—Yes. There's no one good enough for her. Capt. Vernon^Is she so proud ? Sir Robert—No; not proud. But she knows her value. Capt. Vernon—As eyery good woman should. And how clever she was! Sir Robert—Awfully ! And so good with it! Capt. Vernon—Yes. Most unworld-ly girl! Well, whoever gets her will be a lucky man. (Mr. Lampson is seen approaching). Don't mention her in front of this—this thing. Sir Robert—He's coming to ask us to dinner. What a bore ! Capt. Vernon—You can refuse. Sir Robert—H'm ! He's rather a big man in his way, you know. (Look-ing up at the intruder). How do, Lampson ? Mr. Lampson (heartily)—How are ye, Sir Robert ? Beautiful as usual. What a button-hole! I want you to come and have a little dinner with me, to-morrow. Excuse short notice. Amphitryon—and I'll see to the wine myself. So you can't do better. Sir Robert—Well,-you know Mr. Lampson—I don't know. I only know you're coming. You al-ways do. Ex (Looking at Capt. Vernon). Perhaps you've some en gagement with your friend ? (Pauses, and Sir Robert at length introduces them to each other). If so, why not bring him? May l count on you, Capt. Vernon ? Capt. Vernon—Well, you see Mr. Lampson—I don't see. I never see when I don't want to see. You must come. It's rather a great occasion for me. Don't tell every one, though. 1 suppose it will be in all the papers soon enough, but the dinner will be one of my last bachelor entertainments. I'm going to be married. Capt. Vernon (yery languidly, and looking out of the window)—Indeed ! Er fortunate Jady! Sir Robert (looking Mr. Lampson up and down, and curling his mustache) —Who on earth is going to marry you, Lampson ? „* Mr. Lampson—Miss Barbara Ward-our, the Princess of China. Time. The young man had been there several hours, but he was one of those who are oblivious of the passing of duration. The girl had yawned behind her cambric handkerchief until it actually had a nap on it. Still he stayed on and talked. The girl's evident weariness at last appealed to him. " Bless my soul!" he exclaimed; " what time is it ?" She shook her head hopelessly. " Time ?" she asked. " It must be eternity." The Game Association. Lancaster Intelligencer. Friday evening a meeting was held in common council chamber of the men who recently started a movement to stock the county about Lancaster with partridges which are to be brought from the far est. The object of these gentlemen, who are all gunners, is not only to stock the county with quail, but to protect them afterwards. Quite a large number of gentlemen re-ported to the call for the meeting. The meeting was called to order at eight o'clock, and the following officers were elected : President, John B Peoples ; secretary, David L. Deen ; treasurer, James C. Wiley. President Peoples thanked those present for the honor and said he would leave nothing undone to make the organization a success and felt sure that Lancaster would support it. A committee on by-laws was select-ed : Messrs. John B. Peoples, I. N. Wingert, H. E. Anderson, Robert Clark and Geo. S. Franklin. The committee on membership was selected as follows : Messrs. David L. Doen, I. N. Wingert, H. E. Stoner, Jno.Snyder and Jacob F. Wolfer. This name of the organization was adopted " The Lancaster County Game Association." The announcement was made at the meeting that so far $310 had been sub-scribed for the purpose of securing game and to carry on the work of the association. That sum will be shortly increased to $500,:and the membership is sure to be much larger. The organization recently formed in Berks county sent an order to Kansas for 1200 quail, which they will at once distribute around the county. L i t t l e for Creditors. Lancaster Intelligencer. Ex-Judge McMullen, auditor ap-pointed to distribute the balance in the hands of John D. Skiles, assignee of Thomas Baumgardner and wife, filed his report and it was confirmed nisi. The auditor had before him debts aggregating $542,13414 The assets for distribution in the hands of the assignee are $46,227.43 and the many criditors will get 8i per cent, of their claims. When Mr. Baumgardner failed it was supposed that the creditors would get a large percentage oi their claims, but the above report indicates that the creditors will get,a very small percent-age. The report is subject to exceptions and some of the creditors will no doubt except, so that the legality of the sale Of some of Mr. Baumgardners property to his son can be tegted. The auditors report in the assigned estate of Ed win Eberman was also pre-sented. The assets are $48,215.82, and the liabilities $43,892.41. The creditors will get 91 per cent, on this distribution. There is other property of Mr. Eberman not yet disposed of, and when sold'his creditors will be paid in full.

'Some P o i n t s F o r t h e D a i r y m a n W h i ch Will he Profitable to Observe—Re-s u l t s of S c i e n t i f i c Experiments. Bulletin No. 24, of the station at State College, Pa., just issued, gives the results of an experiment by Pro-fessors Waters and Caldwell and Mr, Weld upon the question of the most profitable amount of food for a milch ow. In these experiments, ten cows were fed a ration beginning with 8 pounds of grain and 12 pounds of hay and gradually increasing up to as high as 19 pounds of grain and 27 pounds of hay per day and head, and then gradually decreasing to the original amount. Throughout the experiment accurate notes were taken of the amount and cost of the food, the milk produced by each animal and its butter value as determined by the Babcock test. Perhaps the most striking lesson of the experiment in the demonstration it gives of the profit there is in liberal feeding. The cheapest ration used cost 18 8 cents per day and produced butter valued at 26 5 cents, making a net profit of 7.7 cents per day percow. An increase of 2 9 cents per day per cow in the cost of this ration made the daily value of the butter 31 cents and the net profit 9.3 cents per day or a difference of 1.6 cents per day per cow io favor of the more costly ration. In other words, the farmer who attempt-ed to economize by feeding the cheap-er ration, would, with a herd of 25 cows, save $217 50 per year on his feed bills, but would lose $337.50 worth of butter that he might have produced with the more costly ration, so that his illjudged attempt at economy would result in a net loss of $120. The cheaper ration, moreover, is what would ordinarily be considered a good ration, and the majority of dairy-men would be likely to feed less rather than more, yet the results of this bulletin show conclusively that with such cows as these, the more expensive ration was really the more economical. A further increase of the cost of the ration, however, to 25.1 cents per day gave no further^increase in the butter product, and the net profit was there-by cut down to 5.9 cents per day or 1.8 cents less than with the cheapest ration of the three. In other words, the experiments indicate that there is a certain medium ration for each cow which will give the greatest net profit and that any attempt to economize by feeding less than this will result in a loss, while, on the other, hand, it is possible to feed a cow too much as well as too little. Generally, however, there is more daDger of feeding too little than too much. The experiment also brings out in a striking light the great individual difference in cows and the great im-portance of a careful study by the dairyman of each individual of his herd, both as regards the amount of milk and butter produced and the cost of feed consumed. The net profit yielded by each one of the ten cows used in this experiment was the great-est on the medium ration, but it varied in amount from 2 2 cents per day to 24 cents per day, equivalent, for a milking period of 300 days, to $6 60 and $72 respectively. The increased profit coming from the better feeding, too, varied greatly with different animals, some respond-ing promptly and freely to the increase, while on others it produced but little effect. The figures of the bulletin show likewise what great differences in profit there may be between cows producing yery nearly the same total amount of milk and butter per year. For an example, the records show that last year : Marguerite produced, 6,512 pounds of milk and 296 pounds of butter. Bamonaproduced, 5,459 pounds of milk and 279 pounds of butter. By the customary standard of com-parison, Marguerite would have been regarded as the superior animal, bar-ring difference in breeding, etc., and would have commanded the higher price. On comparing the daily net profit returned by these animals, how-ever, we find a remarkable difference not indicated or suggested by the butter and milk records. Assuming that they remain fresh for 300 days and taking the average net profit per day of all periods, we have a yearly profit for Marguerite of. $31 50 Bamona of 61 50 On this basis at the end of six years, which, for this case, we assume to be the productive life of a cow, and disre-garding the offspring, they would have made a total net return of Marguerite $189 00 Bamona 369 00 This means that Marguerite would have yielded ten per cent, compound interest on a purchase price of $106, while Ramona would have paid the same dividend on a purchase .price of WE ARE NOW READY To make many people happy for Xmas.

Again, in the case of BianGa produc ing 5,556 pounds of milk and 232 pounds of butter last year, we have the following exhibit: Average daily net profit for all periods 4.9c. Total net profit for one year $14 70 Total net profit for six years, 88 20 The reader may regard these as ex-treme cases, and yet they were select-ed from the ten animals used in this experiment, and there is no reason to doubt that as great differences might be found in any.ordinary herd. The Cat H a d Gone. A German paper says that a cook, who had burned a five-pound joint of veal, to avoid a scolding she threw the spoiled meat away and told her mis-tress the cat had eaten it. "Indeed!" said the lady. " We will see about that," and she took the cat, put it on the kitchen scales, and found that it weighed precisely five pounds. " There, Katrine," she said, " I suppose that is the five pounds of meat; but please tell me where is the cat ?" B r i g h t Boys. "Huh !" said the first Benedick, "I don't suppose that there is a boy quite as bright as mine in the whole city of Buffalo. The other night we had ice cream for dinner. Now, he usually likes ice cream, but this particular lot seemed to -be too cold for him. What do you suppose he did ? Why he went and put on his overcoat and cap and mittens and then ate it. Thought that if he was warmer the cream wouldn't be so cold. See ? Speaking about bright boys." " Well," said the Second Benedick, " I've got a bright boy myself. He's in the blue ribbon class and don't you forget iis. Why, the other day he was inquiring of the hired girl what she was made of, and the hired girl happen-ed to be making pies. So she held up a lump of dough and said : ' You're made of dough.' 'An' is brack ladies like the washlady made of brack dough ?' he asked. ' Yes,' she said. He thought for a long time and final-ly said: ' Mary, I don't believe it. How'd they get the jelly in for the eyes ?' And you will talk about bright boys, will you ?" " It pains me to mention it," said the Third Benedick, " but I must say that I've got a boy up at my house who simply leads the procession. He taught me a lesson the other day. It was at the breakfast table and he had a soft-boiled egg. He was making bad work of it and had daubed his nose and cheeks and hands. Finally I look-ed over at him and said, in a manner meant to be mildly sarcastic, ' Why don't you put it on your hair, Reg ?' " "And what did he do ?" asked the other two Benedicks in the same breath. ' He put it on his hair," replied the Third Benedick, sadly. A Great Army Wants Work. It is estimated that the number of unemployed in Chicago is nearly 117,- 000, and so great had their sufferings become that the Illinois Conference of Charities and Corrections, at a special meeting Saturday, appointed a com-mittee of 100 representatives to at once proceed to raise a charity fund of $1,000,000 for the relief of the most pressing wants of the worthy and de-serving poor. Editor Stead, who was present at the meeting, suggested that if the ministers and millionaires were turn-ed out into the streets for one night the money would be forthcoming at once. By actual count, 1,119 men sought shelter in City Hall for Tuesday night, and as many more were stowed away on Stone floors on Saturday night. E i g h t R e c o r d Beaters.
