Kalakaua's Contribution to the Cen.
tAnnial. y


A forthcoming contribution to the
harmony of the occasion is thus de-
scribed by an exchange:
King Kalakaua, of the Sandwich
Islands, will send his feather cloak to the
Centennial Exposition at Philadelphia.
This article will represent more labor
than any other that will be on exhibit
ztion. Its manufacture was co. menced
over hundred years ago, under the
auspices of some of the ancestors of
Kamehaha, the first King of the islands,
and upwards of fifty years Of time were
required for its completion. It is made
of the feathers of a peculiar species Of
bird-each bird only furnishing two
feathers, one from under each wing. In
size the clock is little over square
yard, and it's color is golden yellow.
It used to be worn by the King on state
occasions, but Of late years it served
only to adorn the reception room of the
palace"

Give the Sheep Good Care,

Give the Sheep Good Care.
A correspondent of the Country Gen
tleman gives his views on the care of
sheep as follows:

to be always strong and healthy, having
handled them since 1 was ten years old.
and that is nearly half century ago,

every luxury the English give theirs, if
he felt so refined. What is to prevent
him from giving them all the earth viii

the number raised every year, and these

The Position Of Windows in Horse Stables.
w find in German exchange some
curious observations or the manner in
which the position of the windows in
the stable affects the eyes Of horses. In
one instance the horses of q farmer
fine animals, celebrated for their excel
lent condition-were kept in stable
lighted only by small window at one
side. When light was needed for work
the door was temporarily left open: the
result was that nearly all of these ami
mails had eyes Of unequal strength; and
in time number of them became blind
on the side toward the window. A
strong light directly in the horses faces
mas been found to weaken the sight.
The worst position Of all for stable
window is in front of the horses and
much higher than their heads. An Of
ficer had bought perfectly sound
mare from gentleman whose stable
WAS lighted by windows at the rear of
the stalls. The animal was sound and
perfectly satisfactory. After three
months she became suddenly ground
shy" on examining her eyes they were
found directed upward, and this was ex-
planned by the fact that the windows
of the officers stable were situated
above the head of the stalls, the eyes
being generally drawn in that direction
She was removed to another stable.
where the light vas admitted from all
sides, and in three months time the diff
fcuity had disappeared. Another Off
Ger reports that during the campaign of
1870, in France, he rode a horse that
was capital jumper. On his return
from the war he placed this animal in
his stable, the windows of which were
above the front of the stalls, and in a
short time the horse became SO shy of
the ground that he had to sell it. He
had had a similar experience with other
saddle horses, all of which became
ground shy in his stall. One animal in
particular, thoroughbred mare, re-
nowned for her jumping qualities, re-
fused in short time to cross the small
est obstacle, and, when forced to cross
foot-wide gully, made a leap that
would have cleared ditch fourteen
feet wide. Owners of horses who find
that their animals shy at objects on the
ground or at their side would do we'll to
look to the windows of their stables for
an explanation of the evil.

Butter Making by General Farmers.

Butter Making by General Farmers.
The general introduction of the fac
tory system has caused very much the
larger part of the cheese made in this
country to be made In factories. Very
little indeed is made by what we term
general farmers. On the other hand,
much the larger part of the butter made
in this country is made on farms where
comparatively few COWS are kept, Not
only is this true, but very much is made
under circumstances which makes the
receipt of low prices certainty.
Three-fourths of the COWS owned by
farmers generally calve in the spring,
and more than half the butter made by
very many farmers is made in the four
months, June July, August and Sep
TENDER. The weather is warm, flies
are troublesome, other farm work is
pressing. It is difficult to keep the
butter in good condition. Usually
there are poor facilities for making it.
Money is needed, and SO millions of
pounds of butter are sold at country
stores at fifteen cents or less per pound.
For many such farmers we believe
there is better way. The plan we
suggest is not applicable to all, but for
many farmers we believe it offers re-
lief from work in busy season, and
better pay for the product to be sold.
This plan is to have the COWS calve in
the fall and make the larger part of
the butter in the winter and early
spring, when the demand is best and
prices almost anywhere remunerative.
There are some obvious difficulties.
Different and better arrangements
would have to be made for caring for
the milk; better care and feed would
have to be given to the COWS, and, most
serious, the calves would labor under
some disadvantages. But none of these
are lnsurmonntable It should be re-
menhered that the COWS must be kept
during the winter, and should have good
care and feed in any case, and that un-
der the common practice some butter is
made throughout nearly all the win.
ter. And it is not an impossible thine
to successfully and cheaply raise calves
dropped in the Fall.
Especially for regions rather farther
South than those thought best for dairy.
ing. we think the plan advisable. We
would prefer to have the COWS calve
about September LIST, or a very little
later, giving them good shelter ano
plenty of good food during the winter
expecting an increase OF milk wher
turned on grass in the spring, allowing
the COWS to be dried off about the

IrOuL, much Ike the DOX that was mace
for Master Lemuel CULVER at Brobdig-
nag. The accommodation looked con-
fined for eighty days journey, but q
restless European cannot judge of the
amount of cross-legged immobiity an
Oriental lady can endure with comfort.
We could not see the occupants of these
tiny seragios, as both doors and win
dows were closed by curtains. After
the harems came two small brass can
non, which had been dragged to Mecca
and back by four weary horses in order
to signal the times of prayer and the
hours of hating and departure during
the expedition. The drivers of this ex-
tensive field of artillery were recog-
cognized by friends opposite
us, and 9 great kissing and
hugging went on among grave and
gray bearded men. The cannon were
fired near us, and shout of satisfac-
ton followed the report. This applause
OF the cannon was the only cheering
we heard. No welcome was given to
any OF the authorities. Rulers in the
East are looked upon rather as necessary
evils to be borne with patience than as
benefits calling for gratitude. The
people will kiss the hem of their gar
ments, just as some people pray to the
devil, in order to propitate them, but
they do not cheer them as public bene-
factors. After the cannon came along
lines of soldiers, horse and foot; then
some wild. looking men on foot, whose
theory OF religion seemed to be that the
more they suffered on the road the
greater would be their chance of
Paradise. They wore long matted hair

day after its reception, by each of the Pastors
of the Diocese, we conclude in the words of
our Holy Father;
"But you, principally" beloved brethren Of
the Clergy, hear the Apostolic voice, for We
are the Ambassadors Of Christ, ye who labor
and are heavy laden and, wandering from the
path Of salvation, who are weighed down
under the yoke of depraved desires and dia-
bolical servitude, do not despise the riches of
the goodness and patience and long suffering
of God. While SO ample, go easy an opportu-
nifty of obtaining pardon is offered you, do not.
by your obstinacy, make yourselves inexcusa-
BILE before the Divine Judge. and treasure up
to yourselves wrath for the day of wrath, and
of the revelation of the just Judgment of God.
Enter again into your heart, ye who have been
violators of your duty ; be reconciled with God.
The world is passing away, and its lusts cast
off the works of darkness, put on the armor Of
light Cease to be enemies to your own souls,
that you may gain for them, in this life, peace
at last, and in the other the eternal rewards of
the just"

A MUNIF1cENT DONATION. Cor
rigan's appeal to the clergy and laity of
Jersey City for the establishment of an or
phan asylum in that city has been most
generously responded to- About $4,000
have been subscribed by few wealthy
Catholics. But the most munificient con-
tribution bas been made by a gentleman
who. in the spirit of true Christian charity,
positively forbids the publication of his
name. He has purchased the house and
grounds hitherto occupied as "Home for
the Friendless" "a purely Protestant insti-
tutiop), for the sum of $4,000, and has
presented it to the pastor of st. MichaePs
parish, Rev. j. De Concilio, to be used as
an orphan asylum. This donation recalls
the bequeRt of the late Mr.. Boyle, of Jersey
City who bequeathed property amounting
to $40, 900 to be devoted after the death of
his widow and daughter to the support Of
the Roman Catholic orphans in Jersey City.

An Irish Bishop on the Duties Of Parents, Priests
and Teachers towards Children.

The Bishop of Ossory, RI. Rev. DR.. Mo
ran, has presented a Memorandum on the
parochial schools to the clergy assembled
in the Diocesan Sy nod, in which his Lord
ship states that the education of the child
rem intrusted to their spiritual care is so
important duty at the present day, and
so closely linked with the general welfare
of society, and with the dearest interests of
the Church, that everything connected with
it necessarily holds a prominent place in
their deliberations. His Lordship reduces
some general defec:s in education to three
heads, as they commonly proceed, he main
tains, 'either from the parents of the child
rep, or from the clergy, or from the teach
ers." AS regards the parents, it they have
at heart the temporal aud the eternal well
fare of their children, ''they will be atten.
tive (he says) to instruct them and send
them to school, from their earliest years."
1t sometimes haF pens, his Lordship adds,
that "when children have once begun to
go to school, parents pay little further at
tention to their instruction, partly deceived
by natural affection, and partly deluding
themselves by the vain reasoning that their
whole responsibility has passed to the
shoulders of the teacher. They will find
one day, to their cost, that this is q fatal
error" 1t is too much the rule with pa
rents to neglect to see that their children
avail themselves of all the advantage
which the school affords. AS regards the
of the priest to sternly arouse the parents
from their fatal lethargy to correct the
neglect of teachers and supply the necessa-
ry remedy to visit the schools during the
hours for secular instruction, ''for this will
encourage both the children and the teach
ers in their arduous work." AS to teachers,
his Lordship dwells at much length on the
inef6ciency of teachers, and warns them that
no Office can compare in soiemnity and
importance with that of training the child.
The Government (he says) has been re-
peatedly asked to remedy the evil, but 80
far as Catholics are concerned said has
invariably been refused, unless we consent
ed to lay aside our religion and to trample
on our principles" The present condition
of education lie best illustrated by this sen :
tence in the Bishop's Memorandum 8" 1t
only remains that we endeavor ohelp our
selves. This duty has been too long neg
lected, so long as Government gave a
miserable stipend to teachers. Last year
the Irish Bishops resolved to make a com.
mencement by establishing one Central
Training Institution, to supply efficient
teachers. DR.. Moran communicates most
valuable piece of information as regards
this he says: 81 am happy to inform
you that the arrangements for opening this
training school are now nearly complete
