Magnitude Of the Dairy Interest.

In an address before the Western Re-
serve Dairy Association, by Mr.. Sher-
man Tracy, some statistics are given,
showing the amount of capital invested
in the dairy business in the United
States, which are rather startling ex-
hibit to those who have never given the
subject thought. In the year 1876
there were 100000 cows used for
dairy purposes, which, valued at $45
per head, would represent capital of
$3.50, 100000. If 1t requires three acres
of land to support each COW, then there
must be 30, 900, 600 acres devoted to this
interest, which, at low average cost of
$50 an acre, represents n capital of
$500, 100000. Adding to this the CAPT
tai invested la teams. wagons and dairy
implements, say 500, 900, 900. the fetal
investments would be 81 .450, 600, 600 for
this single industry. Compared with
the banking capital of the country,
as reported for 1877 by the Comptroller
of the Currency, the aggregate capital of
the national banks exceeds by $50, 900, 900
only the single item of COWS; and the
capital invested in banks. other than
national banks, is but 70 per cent. of
the investment by dairymen in lands.
Adding to the amount invested In bank
ing the amount of all individual deposits
in all the banks of the country, other
than savings banks, the amount of bank
ing capital and deposits is 81, 100, 1884,
$50, or less than 20 per cent. greater
than that invested in the dairy business.

Ben Wade.

Benjamin Franklin Wade was born at
Springfield, Mass, in October, 1900.
His father was a soldier of the Revolu-
tionary army, and in poor circumstances.
Benjamin received a very limited educa-
ton, and in his youth was employed in
digging the Erie canal. Removing to
Jefferson, Ohio, in 1921, he taught scho
for period and then studied law. He
was admitted to the bar in 1896, and
seven years later was made Prosecuting
Attorney for Ashtabula county. Two
years thereafter he was elected State
Senator, and in 1847 he rose to the pre-
siding Judgeship OF the Third Judicial
District. In 1851 he was sent to the
United States Senate, where he served
three full terms, rising in 1867 to the
Acting Vice Presidency. In the earlier
part of his national career he
was the leader of the anti-slavery
wing of the Wing party, and became
equally powerful in the Republican
organization. He advocated the Home
stead bill, the repeal of the Fugitive
Slave law, and the abolition of slavery
in the District of Columbia. He bitterly
opposed the Nebraska bill of 1854, the
Lecomption constitution for Kansas in
1858 and the proposed purchase of Gu
ba. Naturally enough, his attitude on
the question of reconstructing the
Southern States was exceedingly radical.
After his retirement from the Senate he
served on the commission sent by Presi-
dent Grant TO report upon the practical
bility of the annexation of San Domin-
go, and afterward as one of the Govern
ment Directors of the Union Pacific rail
way, of which corporation he became at
torney. He participated prominently in
the convention which nominated r. b.
Hayes for the Presidency, at which time,
it is believed, he so disordered his sys-
tenn as to cause his heightened illness
and death, -CnicaQo Times.

Spring Fashions.

For early spring use there are fine
black chip bonnets with marrow black
satin ribbon forming an Alsatian bow
on top. and frill of black Spanish lace
below the crown. A bow OF gold (metaD
ribbon holds bunch of rosebuds and
leaves low down on the left side OF the
crown. The brim is bound with gold
braid, and the face trimming is h black
lace ruche.
Ostrich tips busted with gold are seen
on the new French bonnets. The
daisies or Marguerites, the flower of the
Queen of Italy, are formed into chains
and put around the brim. Brooches
made up of rows of gilt beads, each os
large as pea, are on other hats. Olive
green velvet or gauze is much used with
pale blue damasks and with pink rose
buds. The combinations of color are
very original. Myrtle green, ivory
white, crimson and yellow form favor
lite melange.
Domestic wooden goods now SO closely
copy French fabrics in colors and design
that many buy them as imported goods.
There are spring bourettes OF domestic
manufacture in all the new combinatiors
of color, of nice soft quality, sold for rs
or 80 cents yard. For children there
are basket-woven cloths at the. same
price in pale blue, buff, mastic gray,
brown and cardinal.
The most popular design for finishing
the edges Of WOODEN dress skirts IL
single kilt-plaited fiounce, with the plaits
so broad and distinct, and the hounce 30
| deep, that when worn with an overskirt
the effect of kits is produced.
The edges of this kilt-founce are simply
hemmed, and the plaits are stitched on
by machine, in one row of stitching or
else several.
Colored embroidery is the novelty in
imported under-clothing, and this is
now so delicately done that it is no longer
objected to by ladies who have hitherto
preferred white needle-work. Gowns,
chemises and petticoats of the incest
French percale have the neck, sleeves
and the frills of skirts needle-worked in
tiny scallops of three colors. The first
scaflop is pale blue, the next dark red,
the third yellow, and delicate vine
tracery is then wrought inside in colors
to match.
The broad collars and cuffs now worn
are being borde,ed with the colored jar
diniere embroidery for spring dresses,
and for gay suits to be used in the coun-
try in the summer. Some have the three
colors-yellow, red and blue-now SO
often associated, while others have an
inch-wide border of dark red worked
with blue or with pink or white; the
edges are then finished with torchon
lace.-Harper's Bazar.

CuriOSities Of WOOing.

In olden times it was the fashion for a
sutton to go down on his knees to lady
WREN he asked her to become his wife,
which with very stout gentlemen was an
uncomforta bic proceeding. The way in
which Daniel Webster proposed to Miss
Fletcher was more modern, being at the
same time neat and poetic. Like many
other lovers, he was caught holding a
skein Of thread or wool, which the lady
had been unraveling. "Gracie," said he,
I'VE have been untying knots. Let us see
if we cannot tie one which will not unite
in lifetime" With piece of tape he
fashioned half true lovers knot, Miss
Fletcher perfected it, and kiss put the
seal to the symbolcal bargain.
Most men when they "p0p" by writing
are more straig htforward aud matlerot-
fact. Richard Steele wrote to the lady of
his heart; Dear Mrs. Shurlnck (there
were no misses IN those days, | am tired
Of calling you by that name; therefore,
say day when you will take that OF
madam. Your devoted humble servant,
Richard Steele" She fixed the day ac-
cordingly, and Steeled her name instead
of her heart to the sutton.
The celebrated preacher, Whitfield, pro-
pos ed marriage to a young lady in very
COO manntr-as though Whitfield meant
"a field of ice. He addressed letter to
her parents without consulting the maid
en-, in which he said that they need not
be at all afraid of offending him by re-
fusa, as he thanked God he was quite
free from the passion called love. or
course the lady did not conclude that this
field, however white, was the field for
her.
The we'll known brothers, Jacob and
William Grimm, were exceedingly at
tached to each other, and had no desire to
be married. But it was thought proper
by their friends that one should become
husband, and Jacob being the elder, it
was agreed that he should be the one to
enter the bonds of matrimony. A suit
able lady WAS found, but Jacob declined
to do counting, requesting William to act
rs his agent. William consented, but
soon found that he was in love, and want
ed the lady himself. He could not
think, however, Of depriving his brother
of such treasure, and knew not how To
act. An aunt kindly delivered him Of
his difficulty by telling Jacob, who will
lingly resigned the damsel to his brother,
and went out of the way until she had
been made Mrs. William Grimm.
