Bearing Fruit.

Twenty-Five years ago we went to
the wedding reception of a charming
and brilliant young woman from a New
England state, Just married to a young
physician in Western city. She had
come from the best schools, and was
the woman of all others who was looked
at as leader in the higher literary and
artistic life of prominent circle in the
town. Seven years ago we again met
that woman, now matrOn of forty
five, in a Western university town,
where her husband had finally landed
as professor of sciences in the college.
We saw that the family were living in
quiet and simple elegance on the small
salary of Western professor, with a
house full of fine children, and no SER
want that we could discover
At tea we ventured the question,
"What has been the result of your
studies and experience in the last
twenty years. have seen no book or
magazine article, or poem over your
name, as we expected" 81 will show
you my one book" she replied, leading
the way to her kitchen. There she ex-
hibited a most ingenious machine for
washing the dishes of her table, which
abolished the drudgery of this disagree
able end of housekeeping, and enabled
child, with the help of two ''lifts''
from mother, to make a play of what
would be the work of a servant.
Now, OF course, not every cultivated
school girl has the inventive faculty to
do what this woman had accomplished.
But think what she has donei She has
made it possible for every mother in
Aemrica to save an hour a day for study
or work in the upper side of life. She
has made it not only respectable, but
an artistic employment to wash table
dishes. She has made home duties and
housekeeping more attractive to all hel
daughters, and taken one more steI
toward the abolition of the drudgery
that has so crushed out the lives of 8
thousand generations of women since
the days of mother Eve. We doubt il

Variation In Quality Of Pasture.

Fresh red clover Is not the best feed for
cows and horses, says writer in the Country
Gentleman, who remarks:
have noticed this spring, as / usually do
at this season of the year, that cattle pick
around fences to get the old seeded timothy,
while on the newly seeded part there will be
rampant growth of clover which they will
not touch, unless forced to it by hunger. For
merly used to think that this heritage was
unpalatable because too succulent and watery.
Perhaps this may be one reason. Clover hay
is rich feed, and even cutting before turning
in stock will induce them to eat it more free
ly. Later in the season stock have less pre-
judice against green clover. If turned on a
green clover meadow after the first cutting,
they will readily eat the second growth, and
at this season of the year prefer it to the
grasses which have become hard and woody.
1t is this inferiority of clover as green feed,
which is one chief difficulty in soiling cattle
doubt whether anything usually cut for soil
ing is as good for mich cow as the tender
grass which they Craze in May and June
The heritage is short but sweet and nutritious,
and is especially adapted for milk production.
There is difference in pastures in butter
making, and | think also in the length of
time required for churning, though this last
may depend on circumstances that | have
overlooked. Gravelly upland is not so favor
able for making milk and butter as alluvial
loamy lowlands. Perhaps of this something
is also due to the fact that the upland has
been most cropped and especially with grain
which has removed its mineral constituents.
When farmer runs his land till he can no
longer grow grain, he cannot safely depend
on making money by dairying. If he has ia
ken the cream of fertility from his farm he
cannot expect to see it again on his milk.

Instantaneous Photographs.

The process by which instantaneous pho
tographs of horses in action were taken by
San Francisco operator, under the patronage
of Gov. Leland Stanford, has been success
fully applied to athletes, and now all the in
tricate movements made by men when box
ing wrestling, fencing, jumping and tumbling
have been instantaneously and exactly pic
tured. The first experiment was in photo
graphing man turning somersault. He
stood in front of the camera motionless, and
at signal sprang in the air, turned backward
and in second was in his original position.
Short rs was the time consumed in making
the turn, IA negatives were taken, showing
him in as many different positions. The eye
cannot follow the rapid motions of man
turning a somersault; but the various posi-
tons assumed, as faithfully portrayed by the
lightning-like movements of this new system
of photography, are said to be quite amusing.
Another man put over his head dumb-bell
weighing $50 pounds; and from the instant
he grasped the weight at his feet until he held
it motonless over his head number of neg
atives were taken, showing what muscles are
called into use, and how and when exerted.-
In boxing, the rapid leads, parties, feints,
counters head tricks, and knee movements
were all caught and held by the instrument
for the benefit of students of the manly art
The movements made by men when making
running high jumps, and by foot-racers, were
also accurately photographed.
