DEWEY CONFIRMED.

Despite tho fact that so far as
possible TO get it, the expression OF
this District was almost unanimous
IN favor of Col. Clark's appointment
as Surveyor General Of Dakota,
Senator Howe persisted doggedly
to oppose it, and finally about a
week ago secured the confirmation
of Pitt Dewey. That some inAu-
ence which the Senator did not dare,
or had not the moral courage to re-
sist, was brought to bear upon him,
i. strongly suspected. Sooner or
later the nature Of this influence will
be known. To overbalance the man
fest wish of his constituents, the
recognized superior merit and quail
fcatlons of Col. Clark, and the inev-
table political death which the Sen
ator must have foreseen it would
bring to himself, the unknown iifu-
cnce must have been weighty indeed
more weighty, In fact, than any
legitimate influence conceivable.
LATER.--Since the above was pre-
pared for press, information is re-
ceived that Dewey, like Clark, has
been defeated after having been APP
pointed, and a Norwegian of La
Crosse bears off the commission.

A Bows Nose and a Girls Nose.

A boys nose is simply a boys nose.
When he is born no more attention Is
paid to his nose than to his big toe. He
goes through life regarding his nose
simply as a nose, associating 1t in mem
DRY, possibly, with frequent spankings.
1t grows into shape with the freedom
of a forest tree. There is no aesthetic
relationship or bearing; its progress is
in no way emotional. 1t is never called
upon to express any opinion; to indi-
cate any shade Of hostility or contempt.
1t is expected to do its level best as a
nose, and leave the talking to the mouth
and the fighting to the hands and feet.
In brief, the masculine nose grows
wild, without attention and without
interference, and nature has a clear
field to carry out her purpose %uninflu-
enced by those mysterious psychology
cal agencies that are so often brought
to bear on human affairs.
When a girl is born the case is differ
ent. The first inquiry is, "Has she got
a good nose, pretty eyes, and a sweet
mouth ?" The nose is an important
element in her makeup on her first APP
pearance and the success Of her debut
depends largely upon the architecture
of that appendage. The thought of the
assembled few is concentrated on the
shape of the nose in such a way that
its influence must pervade the mind Of
the new comer. At all events, the girl
o becomes conscious that she has a
nose. She is lectured, advised and
scolded about It. She Is commanded
not to fall down in such a way as to in
.iure her nose. She is urged, for Heav-
EMS sake, not to turn her nose up any
more than It does naturally. She may
break an arm, or a leg, If she will, but
Heaven help herif she breaks her nose.
1t becomes prominent as an expressive
feature. She uses it without stint In
an intellectual way. 1t is made to eX-
press contempt, defiance or haughti-
ness and her attention is called to the
fact. 1t grows into shape under the
influence of q complicated social cult
.ure and becomes more than n nose in
use and Importance.

AGRICULTURAL.

POTATOES FOR Cows.-Cows In milk
may be fed so much of certain kinds of
food as to derange their digestive
powers, and thus dry up their milk.
The Live Stock journal states that 1t has
been found that a large feed of potatoes
will lessen the percentage of hay
digested, but we think the large amount
of salt contained In the potato causes a
looseness of the bowels, and thus inn
pairs the digestive function.
We often fed potatoes to COWS in milk
with great benefit. Our plan has been
to run potatoes through a root slicer
and to feed four quarts at a time mixed
with cut hay and a pint of oil meal or
pea meal, or a quart of oats. And since
the experiment mentioned, we have
again tried this mode of feeding, and
found 1t to work admirably well.
The potato is a very imperfect food
alone, being principly starch. having
too little nitrogen and phosphate of
lime to make milk; but it is the richest
root raised on the farm, and when fed
in small quantity, raw, will regulate
the bowels, and will have a very similar
effect to green grass. 1t is a very laxa-
tive food in the raw state, and that is
probably the cause of its peculiar effect
on the digestion of hay. When the po-
tato is cooked the effect Is quite differ
ent, and its value is increased. A small
quantity of potatoes, say four quarts as
a feed, will increase the yield of milk
nearly as much as so much grain, pro-
vided they are fed with other food rich
in the constituents of milk.
The American dairyman is prone to
feed one thing at a time, almost wholly,
instead of giving variety III food, which
will furnish all the elements required
in the proper proportion. We found an
objection to the use of oil meal when
fed above two pounds per day to a COW,
as it is too laxative. We found one
quart per day the most profitable, and
have also found one peck of potatoes
per day, in two feeds, the most profit
able.

A Bird that Can't Fly.

A bird which stands absolutely alone
without a relation in the world, Is the
kakopo, o. ground parrot, the largest Of
the parrot tribe, being upward of two
feet In length. II has much Of the owl
In lis appearance and habits. The
small face is very owl-like, and is the
only parrot which, like the owls, has a
facial disk Of feathers. 1t Is strictly
nocturnal in It's habits, and its beautl-
fully notified green. plumage so per-
fectly harmOnizes with the green
moses on which it feeds that If il
should be accidentally surprised outside
the hollow trees or burrows In which
during the day II secretes itself, IL Is Inn
possible to detect It. A c%olonist told mt
that on IN occasion, in the early morn
ing, he heard the note Of the kakOpo,
and marked the spot. He carefully
quartered the ground with his eye,
for he was certain the bird could not
have escaped from the little plot OF
moss. He stood watching for half an
hour, but could not detect it, until at
length it incautiously winked its eye,
and he found the bird had been all the
while within two yards of his feet.
Even then, he said, had he taken his
eyes off for a moment he should have
lost trace Of it. The kakopo, like many
other birds of New Zealand, has no
power of flight; but, unlike other
flightless birds, has fully developed and
well formed wings, with good plnion
feathers. How should 1t have wings
which it cannot use? On examining
the muscles, 1t has been found that,
though fully developed, they are mere
masses Of fat, without any strength or
power. Here we have a clear instance
of long continued disease Of an unnec-
essary organ ending In inability to use
it. The MOSES cover the ground and
the roots of trunks of PROSTATE trees re-
quire to be sought for on foot; and to a
night-feeding bird in a country where
there are no beast of prey, flight was a
superluous exertion. Anatomically
there is no reason why a kakopo should
not be as good a flyer as any other par
rot.-Good Words.

SCIENTIFIC.

Iron in the Construction Of the Piano
f0rte.-The first intention Of the appli-
cation Of irOn-Of the h~arp-shaped
metallic ring-was not TO enable the in
strument 10 endure the constant strain
OF the strings. Ii was supposed that
the metal would expand and contract
uniformly with them, In the severe
changes Of this climate, and that In this
manner the instrument would remain
longer In tune, although the actual
pitch might vary.
In 1887 the highly-skillful American
maker, Mr.. Jonas Chickering, con-
ceived the bold idea Of constructing a
| frame entirely Of iron, and In the same
year made his first square piano-forte
In this way. In lS40 he produced the
first grand piano forte with an entire
iron frame all In one casting. By this
remarkable invention the pianO-forte
gained In truth an ''iron constitution"
competent to bear the atmospheric
changes Of this climate, and to it all sub
sequent successes are referred.
IL was a great achievement or to OBJ
tain q frame capable of resisting the en-
Ormous strain of the strings, but this
advance imperatively led to lnnumer-
able variations being made In various
details, for the attainment Of an equili-
brlum, without which the promised
gain could not have been fully realized.
The softer tissues still remained of wood
Of various kinds. and other such essen
tial materials. With the acquisition of
an iron frame or vertebra equal to the
tensile strain of thirty tons without
danger of fractures, came the temptation
to employ strings Of greater thickness,
with a tension of from eleven to sixteen
tons. These strings, stretched as near
as possible to the limit Of elasticity, that
they might give forth the most vigorous
vibrations, required to be set In motion
by blows from hammers specially
adapted for the purpose. Voices SINH
larly strained on the highest notes with
In their compass also have the most
brilliantquality, as for Instance the &C"
of Mr.. Santley and th+ chest &C" Of
Tamberlik.) Then, again, the increased
powers of the instrument made greater
demands on the sound board. -POpuldr

How to Get an Appetite.

To q man or woman without an appetite,
'ths best the market affords" presents little OF
no attractions. The sooner such q hApless in
diuduAl puts the gastric organ IN a condition
10 enjoy the edible c, mforts which 4 bountful
providence has provided, the more reason
there will be to feel grateful for the suggest
ion. To do this, invigorate the stomach with
Hostetler's stomach BitteTs, which wal enable
that organ TO digest properly, and, since good
digestion is the parent Of appetite, give birth
TO a desire for food ut .he intervals appointed
by nature. With chronic want OF appetite are
usually associated nervousness, blliousness
and constipation, three evils which are speed
lily overcome by the Bitters. All persons OF q
dyspeptio or bilious tendency should use this
heSltnful tonic daily, or at least three or four
times q week. A pursuance OF this course will
Soon insure and confirm a radical change for
the better in the condition Of the stomach and
associate organs.
