The End of a Dog Show.

Dog lovers who would accurately re-
produce the true dog face and the true
dog expression, should have been at the
Sydenham Crystal Palace week or two
ago, when a general order was issued for
removal, and masters as we'll as mistres-
ses rushed in to claim their own. Save
for the almost intolerable noise, the
meeting on all hands, says the London
Telegraph, was most hearty and pleas
ant; and wherever one turned a dramat-
10 situation was present to the eye. Be-
wildcred and dismayed, with so many
faces and so many pattings for so many
days, glorious Newfoundland would
suddenly be alive to the presence of
familiar face He had looked so long
for his master in the crowds that he had
given up all hope and curled himself
round on the straw in despair. But now
new light breaks in upon him. He
looks, he hcsitates, the truth dawns up
on him, he shifts, and he is convinced.
Then commences such an uproar and
tumult of satisfaction as it would be
difficult to describe. The beautiful
creature tugs and tears at his heavy
chain. His legs and body are coiled and
twisted with the links of the fetters.
| The bowl of water is knocked over and
the platter sent spinning. He mounts
his paws on his masters shoulders, he
licks his face, he slobbers and pants with
delight. There is no restraining his
impetuous energy, and when, after ex-
trodinary difficulty, the kind master has
unlocked the chain and released the
prisoner, one sees the master, not the
dog, taken in tow, and the black New
foundiand careering along, knocking the
crowd on this side and on that, and
making with wild energy for the terraces
and broad walks of Sydenham. The
same scene in diminutive form is no
ticed among the smaller pets in kennels
and cages. The instant they perceive
the we'll known face, the familiar collar
and the welcome chain, they knock their
little hairy faces against the bars, they
scratch and tear at the straw, and they
add a wild, sharp yelp to the general
chorus of hounds. 1t il curio1s and
amusing scene. Old hands at dog shows
present themselves with baskets, straps
and hampers wrap up the blue frilled
cushion, unpin the prize rossette, pack
up, and are off to the next dog show as
unconcernedly and with as much system
as the proprietors of circuses and shows
attach to travelling fairs. They havs
done the same thing over and over again

The editor of the New Albany-Ledger-
Standard is responsible fozthe following:
We were riding in a railroad car; di-
rectly opposite sat young lady.-She
was elaborately dressed and neatly attir-
ed. We will not say that she was home
ly, for beauty is a conventional term.
and there may be some nations which
we have not visited where she would be
considered handsome, but she was hard
ly up to the American standard. Her
beauty, however, is not germain to the
question; but her nose is, and what we
may say of that can not be considered
NAL apropos in this connection.
Her nose was of the vegetable king
dom, and belongs to the turn up species;
in fact, the end of it looked as if it had
started on a voyage of discovery to the
moon. Suddenly her nose seemed to vi
brate. There were internal rumblings
of the Bald Mountain kind, yet there
were evident signs of a subnasal mn
heaval
She quietly put her hand in her pock-
ct and drew out clean white handker-
chief This she half unfolded and laid
upon her lap; then from her satchel be-
side her, small package of thin, straw
coiored paper was taken, ent about six
inches square; it had evidently been pre-
pared for this or a similar purpose.
She selected one piece and the re-
mainder was restored TO the satchel for
future use. This piece of paper was
placed upon the half unfolded handker-
chief, she brought the paper in contract
with her nose, seized it and blew a blast
which would have done credit to Rod
erick Dhu.
In short, to use the language of our
contemporary, she exploded her nasal
rheum in the paper; the paper was then
dainty lifted from the handkerchief and
dropped out of the car window. The
handkerchief was refolded and returned
to her pocket as unsoiled as the moment
it came from the laundress. Could any
thing be more cleanly, economical, or
convenient? With plentiful supply of
paper, one handkerchief would last a
month, to say nothing of the saving in
baggage

The Scissors Editor.

Some people estimate the ability of
newspaper and the talent of it's editor
by the quantity of original matter. 1t
is comparatively an easy task for frothy
writer to pour ont daily a column of
words-words upon any and all subjects.
HIS ideas may flow in one weak, washy,
everlasting food, and the command of
his language may enable him to string
them together like punches of onions,
and yet his paper may be a poor con-
Germ. Indeed, the mere writing part of
editing paper is but a small portion Of
the work. The care, the time employed
in selecting, is tar more important, and
the fact of good editor is better shown
by his selections than anything else; and
that we know, is halfthe battle. But 80
we have said, an editor ought to be esti-
mated and his labor understood and ap-
preeiated by the general conduct of his
paper-its tone, its uniform, consistent
course, its aims, its management, its dig
nifty, and its propriety. To preserve
these as they should be preserved, is
enough to occupy fully the time and at
tention of any man. IF to this to be ad.
ded the general supervision of the news
paper establishment, which most editors
have to encounter, the wonder is how
they find time to write at all.-lEx.

Are We To Have q Famineg
From Moore's Rural New Yorker.

From Aoore's Rural New Yorker.
1t may De. 1t has been predicted, but
predictions are not always fulfilled.
Nevertheless il is wise to look at chances.
From all quarters comes the informa-
tion that this country, has not been, in
many years, so shorn of its produee-of
wheat. corn, rye, oats, barley and yege-
tables. Talk of more currency? Of
what use would il be TO the farmer who
has nothing to exchange for it? The
South has to purchase food, and tbsus-
ands along the Mississippi Valley have
to be fed by charitable hands and furn-
ished with the means wherewith 10 make
a crop. Iowa and Mississippi have had
to feed farmers, occupying large areas on
their westers borders, else they would
have starved the past winter. Seed
must be furnished them for the spring
planting. Michigan farmers have moth
ing to sell, and are buying hay for stock.
Central Illinois is cleaned out of wheat,
corn, &C., and failure of crop there
would compel importation, according TO
reliable testimony. The reserves of
grain are not large. In Europe they are
smaller proportionally than with us. A
bad harvest in Europe and short one
here, will cause suffering. In view of
the vast number of non-producers, of the
diversion of farm labor TO stock and
dairy husbandry instead of the produc-
tion of food crops, the growing inclina-
tion of farmers to "sell out" and 'live
on the interest of their money" there
is some reason of apprehension as re-
CARDS future supplies, and much reason
why those who cultivate the soil should
do so hopefully, so far as prices for pro-
ducts are concerned.
1t was not with the purpose of alarm
ing any one that we wrote the heading
of this article. 1t is rather that we may
insure attention to the possibilities.
Famine is not SO uncommon an occuT-
renee that even food producing in Amer
ica may not suffer from it. A ready
hunger has gnawed at the vitals of
some of her food-producing population.
Hungary, Poland and some portions of
grain producing Russia, have suffered
from want of food, or the ability to pur-
chase it, the past year. India is now
losing population from hunger. Eng
lands farm labor troubles are going to
effect SO as to diminish her production
the present year. This striking popnla-
ton, and that portion thereof which
emigrate from their homes, spend mon
ey. lose time, but must consume food all
the while. The average power of pro-
| dnction il Tins greatly diminished

Knowledge Of Ones Business.

In late address before one of our
Dairyman's Associations, the following
truths were uttered:
at is one of the greatest mistakes of
our farmers that, as rule, they suffer
the buyer to know more about the quail
ity and value of farm products than is
known by those whose labor makes
them. The buyer has tests which the
farmer does not have. ! notice that
when the wool buyer comes around he
takes out his glasses and sees at glance
the structure Of the article in hand, and
knows more about it than he who has
+oiled a year in its production. The
same theory is true of seeds. The mag
niRer Is applied to pork to see If it Ii
infested with trichina. think It Is
true, as a rule, that buyers of farm pro-
duets know more about them than the
producers. the man who knows tbs
most always gets the best of the bar
gain. 1t is certain that knowledge !
power in making trade. 1t can safe
ly be put down as a rule that man
who for natural or artificial reasons, cal
see a hundred times as much as hi
neighbors, will know the markets"

An Anti-Cremationist's Invention.

The Pail Mall Gazette says: "The ad-
vocates of cremation must look to their
laurels, which appear likely to be wrest-
ell from them by German savant, DIR.
Won Steinbeis. His proposed method of
disposing of the bodies of the dead pro-
vides against injury to the living, while
1t offers no violence to the feeling which
shrinks from destroying the corpse of a
beloved friend or relation. Decomposi-
tion is, of course, an innocuous process,
provided its result cannot infect the air.
DIR. Won Steinbeis, therefore, proposes to
cover the body with Roman or Portland
cement, which hardens into solid
mass and renders the escape Of noxious
gases impossible. According to this
plan the corpse should be placed in a
sarcophagus of already hardened cement;
the cavity in which it reposed would be
filed mp with the same material, and
both would harden together into thick.
slab of substance resembling stone.
Thus the deceased buried in this man.
ner would rest within instead of under
his tombstone, and grave and monument
