wEIGHrY OPINIONS.

Senator David Davis of Illinois, is
one of the heaviest weights. physically
speaking. in the United States. His
opinions, therefore, on important po-
litIcal matters, are deservedly entitled
to great consideration. The Senator
arrived at Chicago few days ago and
was Immediately subjected to the ex
animation of the ubiquitous Interview
er. He voted against the Chinese re.
striction bill, and stated to the inter-
viewer his reasons for doing so. He
admitted that Chinese immigra alton is
very injurious to the country. especial
ly to the Pacific Coast. but he believes
that it should be suppressed by treaty
and not by the harsh and summary
means contemL lated by the restriction
bill. and for that reason he voted as he
against the bill.
He thinks that Randall will be elected
Speaker. aud that the Nationals will
form a distinct but not very large or
dangerous party.

A Human Electric Battery,

An extraordinary story is told by

nineteen years of age, who has just
recovered from two years. illness, the
nature of which the doctors were un.
able to determine, es there did not
seem to be any organic complaint, has
developed wonderful electrical powers
and seems to be a perfect battery. A
person unless possessed of the very
strongest nerves cannot seake hands
with her, nor can any one place his
hand in pail of water with hers.
BY joining hands, she can send sharp
shock through fiftean or twenty peo-
pie in room, and she possesses all
the attraction Of magnet. II she at
tempts to pick up knife. the blade
will jump into her hand, and paper
of needles will hang suspended from
one of her fingers, She. cannot drop
any small article of, steel she may
pick up. On entering room a per-
ceptible influence seizes all others,
and while some are affected with slice.
piness, others are ill and fdgety till
they leave. A sleeping babe will
awake at her approach, but with.
stroke of her hand she can coax it to
slumber again. Animals are also SUBJ
iect to her influence. and pet dog of
the household will be for hours at her
feet as motionless as death. Articles
which she uses BECOME magnetized.
she is one of sevea children, none of
the rest of whom show any abnormal

How TO GET MILK AND BUTTER
writer in the Southern Furme- says tina. his
COW gives all the milk that is wanted in q
family of eight. and that from it, after taking
all that is required for other purposes, 26O
pounds of butter were made last year. This
is, in part, his treatment OF the COW : If you
desire to get large yield of rich milk, give
sour COW every day water slightly warm, and
slightly sailed, in which bran has been stirred
a..the rate of one quart to two gallons of
water. You will 6ud. if you. have not tried
this practice, that your COW will give twenty
Ave per cent more milk under the Effects of
it. and she will become SO attached to the
diet as to refuse to drink clear water unless
very thirsty. But this mess she will drink
almost any time and ask for more. The
amount of this drink necessary is an ordinary
water pailful at time, morning, noon and
night.
