! RECENT report submitted to the Leg
islature Of Maine, as to the practical work
ing Of the prohibitory liquor Law, states
that under its operation drunkenness has
greatly increased, and that the number Of
Inmates in the State has fully doubled. The

drinking, or, in other words, that The nun

THE SUCCESSOR TO THE DUTCH THRONE.
The Continental newspapers have de-
scribed Prince Alexander, who by the
death of his elder brother has just be-
come Prince of Orange, as totally unfit
to succeed to the throne of Holland. A
Dutch correspondent of the Echo das
PtrIenaeat, who writes from the Hague
and processes to have the best sources of
information, says that this is complete
mistake. The Prince has not the robust
health that his brother enjoyed, but ac-
cording to him, he is young man of con-
siderable intellectual gifts, and has de-
voted his life to serious study He has
made himself especially familiar with the
working of the Dutch Constitution, and
is known to be deeply interested in every
measure for promoting the national well
fare. When he visits the Hague he regu-
larly attends the sittings of the Council
of State, and investigates the condition
of every great branch of public service.
''The House of Orange" concluded the
writer, "has lately passed through heavy
trials; but in Prince Alexander it has a
representative who, if he were called tc
the throne tomorrow, would realize
every expectation which free nation
can cherish respecting it's future king

Breeding for MIX.

The property of milk yielding is hered-
itary. It would indeed be contrary to
reason if it were otherwise for milk is
structurally portion of the COW, and
even its liquid portions are influenced
by the character of the structure through
which they must pass to appear in the
reservoirs of the gland. We thus find
individual cows of great excellence in
any breed which has been used in the
dairy for generations, as well as other
individuals of poor quality, and we are
enabled to determine which ones are
large mixers by external signs of struc-
ture. The popular appreciation of this
fact of hereditary is evidenced by the
general favorable opinion of the Ayrshire
breed as of large milking capacity and
the diferance of opining as to the milk
ing quality of shorthorns. In the one
case, breed kept and reared for milk,
and milk in large quantity the recogniz-
ed product; in the other case, breed
kept and reared either for milk princi-
pally or for beef purposes, and hence
opinions modified according to the char
acter of the breeding which is under OBJ
seryatiOn. The average yield of the So
called native COW, although she has been
subject to years of unconscious selection
and oftentimes careful selection in her
breeding. cannot be in excess of 1900
quarts yearly for the best dairy regions
OF America, although individual selec-
ton by good farmers may increase the
average yield of first class herds to / 800
quarts annually the highest average re-
suits we can figure for single years being
about thirteen hundred quarts per COW.
The Ayrshire breed has, however been
bred for milk, and as consequence the
yield of average herds can be placed at
about two thousands quarts of superior
herds at 2, 800 quarts, and at 8, 900 quarts,
even, per COW per year. As we near
countries where breeding is not carried
on for the purpose of milk we there find
but small yields. The wild cow Yields
but sufficient for the use of the calf !;
among the table lands of Columbia.
where the cattle are but partially domes-
ticated, it is only by allowing the calf to
run with the mother by day, that a small
Quantity of milk can be obtained at night.
Among the Damaras of South Africa q
first rate animal rarely gives more than
two or three pints daily, and this only in
the presence of her calf. The small cows
OF Brittany, on the other hand, have
yielded, as an average for five dairies in
cluding 80 cows, 8, ,243 quarts in year

The CABBAGE.-Just speak to fine
lady about cabbages and she will think
that you have mentioned one of the low
est things on earth. Madam, you are
wrong, it is one of the most useful arti
cles Of food. Those ancient nations did
not know food science, but they knew
the value of good and nourishing things,
and they gave them the place of honor
which they deserved. Cabbages were
thought of highly by ancient nations,
and the Egyptians gave the cabbage the
honor of letting it precede all their other
dishes; they called it a divine dish. The
Greeks and Romans had great affection
for cabbage, and cor ceived the idea,
which have myself, that the use of cab
bage keeps people from, drunkenness I
am persuaded that the constant eating of
certain vegetables kills the desire for al
coho1ic beverages. The Greek doctors
ascribed all kinds of virtues to cabbage.
It was thought to cure even paralysis.
Books were composed to celebrate
the virtues of the cabbage, and ladies
partook of it soon after child birth.
The Romans thought even more of the
cabbage than the Greeks. They ascribe
to it the fact that they could for 600
years do without doctors. and Cato
actually maintained that cabbage cured
all diseases. The ancients knew several
kinds of cabbage = the long-leaved
green cabbage, the hard white, SO much
used in Germany for sauerkraut" or
fermented cabbage, the curley and the
red This last seems to have held the
place of honor, and was first intro
duced by the Romans into Gaul, Or
France, and then brought to Great
Britain. Later the green-leaved cab
bage was introduced. The Greeks were
fond of aromatic seasonings-of oil,
raisin wine, and almonds. They boiled
or stewed the cabbage, and seasoned
it with cummin, coriander seeds, with
oil, wine and gravy, making rich dishes
of a vegetable, which we now boil in
water, and reckon among the plainest
food. Something like remembrance
of cooking cabbage among the old
Greeks has come down to the modern
Greeks, for they stuff cabbage leaves
with dainty mince meat, and then stew
them with gravy.-Mrs. Le,ois IN Food
and Health Leaves.
