POINTS OF A GooD Gown judging of
the points of a good cow, Professor Tanner
says: "The udder should be capacious, ex.
tending we'll behind the legs, and also forward
along the belly, the coat should be thin, with
a soft skin, and show considerable decrease In
size after the cow is MIXED. The teats should
be placed we'll apart from each other and not
cramped together, for this indicates want of
sympathy in the udder. The udder may ap.
pear large and yet be found Aeshy, rather than
capacious Especial attention is desirable to
the mellowness of the skin, and more particu-
larly if the animal is poor. The milk vein is
a sure indication of the quantity of blood sup
piled, and, for all practical purposes, may be
taken as guide"
One fault which many dairymen make in
judging of the comparative value of COWS, is
that they too often take the yield of the COW
during the first two or three weeks after the
calf goes off, as the data by which the COM
parison is instituted this is, at best, very un-
certain and often very deceptive. Among our
own COWS our best one is not the one which
makes the most butter just after her calf has
been sold, but she is one which never goes dry
unless purposely made so. Our other cows
will, at the period named above, make a
greater number of pounds per week, but in
the sum total of the years work Grace takes
the lead. That which is true in our own
small dairy, is equally applicable in larger
ones, and shows good quality which is pc.
culisrly the strong point of our Alderneys.-

n9 The theological students of the Episco-

quently called upon to oficiate at the burial
of paupers who die in the vicinity of New
York. On one occasion the minister was late.
He came in great haste, put on his surplice,
and commenced reading the funeral service
"Forasmuch as it has pleased Almighty God,
in His wise providence, to take out OF this
world the soul of our deceased"-brother, he
was about to say, but stopped, for the body
was nailed up in the coffin, and he did not
know whether it was that of male or fe-
male. He leaned over and whispered to the
Irishman who was in charge of the interment,
"Shall say brother or sister%

to himself, and replied, "Rs nasther, ger rivsr'

nar A Spanish sentinel, one dark night, was
posted at the entrance of fort outside of
Malaga. About midnight he heard some one
approaching, and gave the usual challenge,
equivalent to our "Who comes therei' To
his amazement the answer was, "Jesus of
Nazareth!' He at once called the sergeant
of the guard and reported the facts to him.
The sergeant went forward, challenged the
intruder in his turn, and received the same
answer. Infuriated at what he considered
was an attempt to trife with him, be knock
ed the man down with his musket, and beat
him severely. He then sent for lantern to
ascertain who it was. When the light came,
he saw that it was gentleman of high stand
ing who lived in the neighborhood, but who
was out of his mind. The sergeant, deeply
regretting his hasty action, said to the man,
81 am very sorry 1 hurt you; but hereafter,
when I challenge you, remember to give your
own name."
The poor victim replied, Il am not such a
fool as to do that. If this is the kind Of, re-
ception you give Jesus of Nazareth, you
would have killed me outright if had given
my own name" s5..

Bible is searched to prove that their theories,
however foolish and absurd, are correct It
would not be too much to say that no sensible
student ever studied any other book in this
way. What would be thought of the student
who would take up the notion that three, mul-
tiplied by three, is greater than three multi
piled by four, and then resort to his arithme-
tic to prove that such is the case and, in
spite of all the principles of arithmetic, still
believe that three multiplied by three is great
er than three multiplied by four, and that he
can prove that such is the case by the arith-
metic. Such student never could, so long
as he would pursue such course, make a
mathematician. The proper way to search
the Scriptures, is first to divest ourselves of
all prejudices and all opinions Let the Bi.
BILE teach what it does teach, in spite of our
preconceived notions. This is the way that
the lawyer searches his law books.
It is easy to account for the diversity of
opinions and theories which obtain among
professed Christians. The confusion of doc
trinss and practices arises from either not
searching the Scriptures at all, or from search:
ing them in a wrong way. or with improper
motives Lawyers would seldom Disagree
about the law if there was no fee at stake
so there would be little disagreement among
Christians if the Scriptures were searched to
learn the truth, and not to bolster up some
man.devised theory.
There are some things that every inquiring
mind desires to know These things cannot
be learned from nature. Creation and provi-
dence are silent respecting them. The works
of creation and providence tell US nothing
about the fall of man, and the way of bis re-
covery. These facts we can learn from no
source, but the Bible. Wise men may spec
ulate and theorize on the subject, but the

The PODP.

ROME, March PA circular to the
Bishops has been issued from the Nati-
can, counselling patience and abstainlng
from provocation during the expected
period of increased persecution. During
the last few days the Pope has been
somewhat indisposed, but there is nc
immediate cause for a.arm. lie was car
ried from his room TO hold the consistorS
of Tuesday, and received one ambaSsador
the day before; with this exception all
audiences have been suspended The
Pope still entertains the idea of the re-
assembling of the Vatican Council, he
has had new set OF quiries submitted
to all the Cardinals, so that they may de-
ciGe if the delay in solving some OF the
questions which the previous Councils
left undetermined be not calculated to
lniure the church. 1t is said that If the
Cardinals reply in the affirmative the
Council Will reopen in November.
ROME, March 23.-The health of the
Pope is fairly satisfactory, but he has
lost the use of his legs, and is carrl ed
about in chair.

The Philadelphia Times has discov-
cred what is the matter with HAYES.
Some indiscreet admlrer OF the elght-to
seven President, in u tit of gush, let the
secret out. He wears paper collar. A
man who wears paper collar can never
rise to the broad and lofty plane of
craftsmanship. A paper collar is hot
compatible with great thoughts or with
great deeds In the first place, 1t Is dis
honest. All shsms are dlshon-
est, and their tolerance deadens
conscience and undermines char
acter. \ man who wears y paper
collar would wear brass watch chain
and paste jeweiry, even false shirt
front. Such man would rob his en-
ployer's till; and a man who would rob a
till would-wouid steal Presidency, or
receive il. knowing it to DC stolen. There
is no dishonesty ot which man who
wears paper collar might not be
guilty. and how can we eXpec: from such
81 man an honest government? False
ia one thiny, false III everything, Is Il
maxim as true as it is old; and talsehood
in personal attire is the very beginning
of lies.

A few weeks ago, q gentleman In
Brooklyn, while sitting in his psrlor in
the evening, was called by the servant
girl TO drive dog away which was lying
on the window sill when she went to
close the shutters. The gentleman's wife
accompanied him to the kitchen,
and, taking a fancy to the dog-for
il was handsome little animal-begged
that it be taken into the house. The
gentleman put forth his hand and gently
attempting to lift it inside was
snapped at by the dog for his pains.
The dogs teeth caught through the loose
piece of flesh between the thumb and
fore-6nger, larceratlng it somewhat.
The gentleman Immediately repaired to
his physician, and had the wound csu-
terlzed. The dog showed no signs of
being mad, yet in two weeks time the
gentleman died horrible death rom
hydrophobis.
In another part Of the REGISTER we
print an article from the Cincinnati
Commercial, detailing furious attack
made upon little girl by family pet
dog which had grown up with the child
and had been as fond of it, apparently, as
if it had been a twin. brother. The
ferocious brute, for no visible cause,
bounced upon the child with the savage
ferocity of tiger and would bave utterly
torn her to pieces had not relief been
near at hand. AS it was the child has
probably died ere this from its wounds
The question is, have we any use tor
these brutes that will compensate US for
the risk we run in having them swarm

is everywhere being waged against the
Spitz dog shoul! probably take wider
range. That miserable mon grel may be
as he is represented, ga bad haired dog,
but he does not stand alone in that cata-
CORY.
