The evening meeting was held In Farwell Hall, q
han with capacity for seating $500 people, but with
only slim attendance DIR. Post, OF ST. Louis de-
vered an address OF great length and great vgor OF
thought upon
HISTORY AS A TEACHER OF SOCIAL SCIENCE.
He began with stating that history Is full OF pro-
bems, many Of which by all the new books OF science
that have been opened remain still unsOved. Alud-
ing in turn to these various problems and indicating
the manifold lessons they teach, he proceeded to
speak directly OF his theme Social science was the
science OF society. Plato IN his Republicn speaks of
1t as the law OF all s0ciety-the law OF the million
Science was becoming more urgent every day. The
rise OF the million to sovereignty the rise OF the
democracy, whether IT be regarded as terror or
hope, made 1t urgent. Social science was the great
sphinx riddle, the drama OF the world the arts and
struggles and achievements of civilization. HUI
manlty repeats itself, but history does not Human
nature Is the same in Its elementary principles now
as IN the & days OF the Pharaohs or The imperial
Caesars. The student OF history in taking up the
newspapers to-day Is startled-buslness OF
vast ylcisstudes. mighty demagogism, political
growing disregard Of God and sacred things and ali
the passions OF hate and revenge, il was uncertain
what individuals would do but certain what masses
VIII 90. Pursuing this argument at considerable
length he proceeded TO show that social science
deals with great general results, with long periods
his next proposition was that the analysis Of
SOCIAL SCIENCE WAS HUMAN IDEAS
that developed themselves into rghts-tne rights to
lie, liberty and the pursuit OF happiness and the
like. These were Titanic forces tnat nothing could
keep down. He next spoke OF the treatment OF
by men OF energetic brains in studying myths 1c-
tons and fancies. The world must now deal with
facts, and thus the address ran on, full of antthet
cal power, severely serious and profoundly erudite
Tor the most part and yet at times sparkling with
brilliant illustration and cOgent anecdOte. No brief
justice to 1t. We Will only say further that though
occupying considerably over an hour in delivery iU

II is the present expectation that the Convention
OF the association Will be brought To a close to-

CULTURE OF RAsPBERRIEs.-A prom
inent cause of failure in the culture OF
the raspberry is the allowing of the
plants to bear fruit the first year. This
so weakens them that they make feeble
roots. and do not recover afterwards. 1t
is much better to secure small, we'll root
ed canes for planting than to take strong
canes with but small amount of root,
in either case, the canes should be cut
back nearly to the ground, and then a
strong vigorous growth of canes for the
next years bearing will be secured, with
robust and healthy plants for the future.
The best mode of planting is in rows,
three feet apart, the roots one foot from
each other, with stout post at ell
Their end of the rows, and strong wires
runningthrough, to which the canes
should be tied. This is the simplest
and neatest mode of training them.

Can Feed Change the Quality OF
Milk?

DIR. Ruin, an eminent German chem
list, answers this question in the negative
His answer is contained in commune
cation to meeting ofagricultural chem
lists. at Halle, Germany, and his opinion
is based on an experiment made with
eleven mich cows. He believes the re-
sults obtained are correct, as the expert
ment was made with great care. DR..
Ruin says:g E2A3NA4
Green clover was fed with or without
the addition of cut straw, so that the pro-
portion of the heterogeneous to the nom
nitroeeneous elements of the food varied
from IL to II, nevertheless the relative
proportions of the several constituents OF
the dry substance of the milk, as fat,
casein, albnmen and sugar, remained
constant throughout. The relative pro-
portions of the several dry constituents
of the milk appear, therefore, to depend
not on quality of the food, but on special
characteristics in the constitution OF the
animals themselves. DR.. Ruin has now
confirmed this result, by experiments
with more varied mixture Of food, since
he has fed hay alone, then hay with
starch, with oil, with beans, with bran,
SO that in one instance the proportion OF
the heterogeneous substance was IL. 1t is
not possible by any choice OF food TO
modify the character of the milk, SO as
to make it richer, for example, in fat, or
any other organic ingredient; this can
only be done by judicious selection OF
the breed of mich cattle. The pro-
ton of water, however, to the ingre-
dents of the milk may be affected by
the character of the food, so that the
richness of the milk in any given con-
stituent, as, for example, oil, may be IN
creased; but at the same time every 9TH
er constituent, except water, is increased
in the same proportion.

CANNIBAL CULINARY ART.-Some
French soldiers were recently taken pris-
oners by the KaDaks, and one OF them
was killed and eaten. His comrades de-
scribe the process; The Kanaks fist de-
capitate their victim--a matter OF no
small difficulty considering the bluntness
of their hatchets. The body is then
hung up to tree by the feet, and the
blood allowed to run for an hour. Mean
while, q hole yard and half deep
and yard wide is dug in the ground.
The whole is lined with stones, and in
the midst of them great fire is lighted.
When the wood is burned down little
and glows with heat, it is covered with
more stones. The man is then cleaned
out and divided into pieces about foot
long, the hands and feet being thrown
away as worthless. The pieces Of the
man are placed on the leaves of large
rose-tree peculiar to the tropics. The
meat is surrounded by cocoa-nut, ba-
mana, and some other plants noted for
their delicious flavor. The whole is tied
together firmly; the fire is then removed
from the pit, the meat is placed among
the hot stones, and thus, carefully cow
cred, is left to cock for aa hour. Women
don't partake Of the warriors feast.
Men alone are permitted to enjoy so
great an henor and so rare delicacy.

A FISH HARvEsT.-Immense swarms
of fish have lately filled the waters on
the eastern end Of Long Island and the
coast of New Jersey, driven in by the
blue fish and others of the predatory
species. On Long Island the fishermen
have taken as many as GO, 600 menhaden
at one haul. The Great South bay is
literally filed with all kinds Of fish usu-
ally found in these waters. In many
places the beach is strewn with menha-
den, which have also been driven ashore
BY the blue fish, and the farmers in the
neighborhood are reaping harvest in
carting the same to their farms, these fish
being invaluable as q fertilizer. The
fish oil factories are in operation night
and day, and end 1t difficult to work up
the large quantities Of fish taken 6y their
seines Accounts from New Jersey say
that the blue fish came in at Baregat in
let last week, sweeping through the
channel, driving millions Of bushels Of
bunkers before them and filling the cove
creeks, bitches and ponds in the mead
ows full. At Little Egg harbor inlet
they drove shad onshore SO that people
gathered them up BY wagon loads. Fish
he in creeks. ponds, etc, along the mead
ows two feet deep, so that one can take 9
common fork and pitch them into boa
or throw them On the bank. In some
places they lie in winrows on the mead

they take large wood scows alongside
and load them.
