LINCOLN, Nebraska, 1878.
About the Goth of March, l took the
train from here for Chicago, 542 miles.
Leaving this city at two on one afternoon,
should ordinarily have reahed that Queen
OF the Great Lakes at three o'clock on the
next afternoon. But on arriving at the
Missouri found it impossible to cross,
for according to the local phrase it was
'gorged with ice" 1t was as if a glacier
had rushed down from an Alpine ravine
and blocked up the track along a Swiss
valley. Such an iceberg had not been
seen there before during this season, and
it was next day swept down the river
Meantime however, several cars filled
with cattle and hogs for Chicago; were
sent back % miles to Ashland to spend
the night in the yard where they had been
kept through the winter, went with them
in order to inspect the Nebraska style of
stock fattening.
One yard / visited is on neck of land
between two rivers, one fresh and one salt,
SO that no salt is needed for the stock.
The only shelter was close fence four
feet high on one side,and hay cribs OH an
other which broke the force of the fihd.
Though the winter had been the eJersss
dition, and none Of them had died. They
had 10 covering whatever overhead
The food of the stock was mainly Indi-
an corn each ear cut into three pieces, and
shoveled from wagon into troughs scat
tered here and there in the yard. Wild
hay in the side cribs was always within
reach, and some of the corn, cobs and all,
was ground in horse mill into coarse
meal
The hay cost only the cutting, being free
on hat in England would be called com
mons" The corn was partly raised close
at hand, ninety bushels and upward on a
single acre-and partly bought at Is cents
bushel.
The cattle were Texas-had been driven
| last year 200 miles from the tar south
west. The first cost was $12 per bead
and $6more for driving to the ward Five
| dollars more will pay passage to Chicago.
The last lot of hundred sent from this
yard sold for four and half cents, or
more than fifty dollars for each beef.
No business is growing faster in Ne.
braska than stock-raising. None will pay
better. Indian corn is too bulky for dis
tant transport. 1t needs a condenser.
What il needs it finds in cattle and hogs.
Hogs skin and cowhide make the best bags

ideas and the skill to develop those ideas
into outward forms developed in unison.
But in time the art was not only used to
express the idea the idea itself also came
TO be used to sustain the art. A beauti-
ful work of art does not necessarily imply
a. beautiful character In its author, nor yet
in those who behold it with pleasure.
All who are acquainted with lives of emf
nent artists, know that the virtue of
many of them tails far short of the beauty
they are capable of representing. The re-
publics ci ancient Greece and Italy, pro-
duced the most beautiful artistic works of
the world, yet they were by no means
models of moral excellence.
The functions of the poet, the painter,
and the musician must not then be eorA
founded with those Of the moral teacher.
Their first and chief aim must be 10 glad
den the eye by visions of beauty, to charm
the ear by sounds of harmony, and to In
spire the Imagination by the representa-
ton of noble characters and deeds. The
aim of the moral teacher, on the other
hand, is not primarily to please. but to
instruct, not even to delight the magma
ton with visions Of virtue and goodness,
but to instill into the hearts and lives of
men, those qualities which the true poet
loves to paint. 1t is true that the artist,
in proportion to his own appreciation of
excellence, will inclusively elevate the
people bolh intellectually and morally,
and the moral teacher, if himself imbued
with an appreciation of beauty, will indi-
rectly gladden. mankind by imparting it;
yet their primary aims are distinct and
separate, and to confuse and mix them
will only weaken the labors Of both.
while adding no power to either.
In weaving or knitting the web of life,
With its coors dim gay,
Let me strive, like u careful and thrifty wife,
As labor day by day,

That nothing may run to waste.

La the heart OF a woven flower,
And left TO rave TILL, leaf by leaf,

Then let me cherish that precious line,
"a stitch in time saves nine-
Let me take up the stitches of peace and hope,
The stitches of love fair,
Lest miss one flower from the web of life,
And fasten them well with care;
Let lie weave OF the bright materials given

What 1 Know About Thinning

Since the days of our grandmothers, there has
never been such rnge for trimmings upon ladies'
dresses and suits as this year, and the most popu-
lar is the so called French fold, made from bias,
material put upon the dress in a variety of styles.
To trim dresses at the present day without the vari
ous Sewing Machine attachments would be an inn
possibility.
A young nan in Chicago has just invented an
improvement for all Sewing Machines, with which
to put on the fold ae fact and as easily as an ordi
nary hem can be made. The same implement is
also practcaf Binder AID good Hemmer.
1t is being made and sold by the Leslie Rufner
Company, aud is valuable sddition to the Sewing
Machine. II is called Kom:ng's French Trimmer,
and will be sold by all Sewiag Machine Agents.
