Foreign Notes.

The Empress Eugene is going to
Scotland on the invitation of Queen Vic
tOria.
The German Emperor treats his
troops in the most paternal fashion.
"Good morning, my children,n he says,
with a kindly smile, as he rides past the
brigades drawn up to receive him, and
all the regiments answer, Justify, "GOod
morning, your Majesty"
"A new temperance movement has
been organized in Great Britain. 1t
takes the form of joint stock company,
with a capital of s., 100000, in shares of
S. each. 1t proposes to open temper
ance houses all over the kingdom. The
Archbishop Of Canterbury heads the list
in the prospectus of the enterprise.
When the Emperors met at AleXan-
drowo, not only were the railway build
ings and approaches guarded by gems
darmes, Cossacks and police, but eX-
press trains were not permitted to pass
through the stations, and the passengers
had to remain all day in the village.
Along the line from Ottlotschin, the
frontier place, to Alexandrowo and on
to Warsaw, mounted Cossacks were sta
toned at every few steps.
The two young sons of the Prince
of Wales are both very fond of sea-serv-
ice; the younger one is to follow it as a
profession. They are bright, manly
bows. with look of their gentle mother
about the upper part Of their faces.
They have just started off on ship OF
war for a long cruise. They fare exactly
like their mess-mates except in one par
ticular-their sleeping accommodation
is somewhat better.
Prince Bismarck only allows trees
enough to be felled at Varzin toilet light
into his woods. His letters to his sister
show how dearly he loves farming and
hunting, the forest and the quiet life of
a countrvman. Luther Buchar is the
only official person who accompanies
him; he goes through all the important
papers which come from Berlin, and
prepares them for the signature of the
Chancellor. Buchar, who refused to
pay taxes in 1S4S, and was therefore long
an exile on British soil, is exactly suited
to Bismarck and Varzin. He lived for
many wears in Pomerania, and was re-
turned by that place to the Berlin Ma
tional Assembly.
Persons who claim to be well in
formed say that the eX-Empress Eu-
genie is one of the richest widows in
Europe. Besides her Hungarian estate,
she has castle in Spain and fine place
in Switzerland. Of hard cash
she is estimated to have S5,OOO,-
600. Recently she sold a large
block of house property in the Rue
d'Alba, in Paris; and M. Rouher'S
house, well known political center, at
the corner of the Rue de rElySee, was
hersin her own right, and was sold last
wear for 5000. The death of her son
adds to her estate, since he left her a
considerable amount of landed property
in Italy, and the Toulouse property civ

How Long Should Cows Go Dry2

If cows are well fed it is not necessa-
ry to dry them off three or four months
before calving, but as COWS are gener-
ally wintered they need all of this time
to recruit their wasted energies, and
gather strength for the new demand.
A COW giving milk requires double the
food to keep in the same condition that
she does when dry. If this fact is re-
membered, and nourishing food is lib
orally dealt out to cows, they will do
well with rest of month. We have
two cows, Jersey, and an Ayrshire,
which have Just come in, the former be-
ing dry a month and the latter five
weeks. They went to the pasture un-
til within day or two of calving, and
were fed no extra feed. The pasture
was the second growth of meadow and
was rank and succulent. The Ayrshire
cow was not dried up. We stopped
milking her regularly and then occa-
sionally reduced the bag, milking it out
clean between three and four weeks be-
fore the calf came. The day she calved
her bag measured twenty-four inches
from front to back, and fourteen inches
across. The calf was large and strong,
and so was that of the Jersey COW. The
same COWS came in last December, after
being dry about month, and did well.
We have three Jersey cows due to calve
in March, which we shall dry off by the
first of January, as the fodder we intend
for them is coarse and lacking in nu-
triton. A COW is better off in all re-
spects if she is kept warm and quiet
and tolerably well fed, than to be
knocked around and exposed to the
cold, even though she may be allowed
to go dry twice as long. Some farmers
seem to think that if their COWS go dry
three or four months they are bound to
be all right, regardless of the treat
ment they may receive. This profound
rule is well enough, but it should be
supplemented with good care, at least
humane, and plenty of nourishing food;
and when this is done the rule may be
abolished and each COW managed ac-
cording to her individual characters
tics and habits. If COW is thin in flesh
and run down let her be dried off early
in the season. If another COW is strong
and in good flesh she may be MIXED
nigh up to the time of calving, and she
will do well. If time is given for the
udder to enlarge and other organs to
assume normal condition the require
ments of nature will have been salts
fed, and this is all which should be re-
quired. Allowing the udder to expand
and fill up seems to stimulate the Sc
cretory glands to renewed and more
vigorous action. Being dormant three
or four months will not do it, but good
food and the effort of nature to provide
for the coming event will do it.-F. ID.

FoRT ROBINSON, Jan. II.
Fifty Cheyenne savages are still at
large, having escaped from their
stronghold among the bluffs last night
where the troops had corralled them.
Their trail was followed this morning,
going northwest. The advance guard
of the troops were fired upon by a party
of savages at noon to-day, who were
doubtless covering the retreat of the
main band, succeeding in killing Cor
poral Ore, Company A, Third Cavalry.
The other members of the guard, see
ing their leader falling dead from his
horse, shot through the heart, charged
on the Indians, who were concealed in
a riHe-pit near the top of ridge. In
the charge the guard killed one Indian
and wounded another. The remaining
Indians escaped through the heavy
timber. At four this evening the
troops had got up with the savages,
who surprised the troops, firing a volley
| into their midst, wounding Private
Hunter, Company G, Third Cavalry, in
the right shoulder. The savages were
intrenched in bed of a small stream.
The troops kept up continuous fire in
the direction where the savages were
supposed to be until dark, when firing
was discontinued until morning. Two
more companies of the Third Cavalry,
commanded by Major Vroom, left here
at dark this evening for the scene OF
hostilities, carrying two twelve-pound
Napoleon guns with them.

Sun Spots and Hard Times.

1t has long been well known that
what are called commercial and busi-
ness crises are believed to be not only
periodic, but the effect of laws; but it
was never suspected that these laws
had their seat in the sun. This story
is put forth by Prof. Jevons, who in a
recent paper attempts, with some show
of success, to trace a connection be-
tween spots on the sun and famines,
commercial revulsions and money pam
les on this planet. He groups the great
trade disturbances of the world from
I'LL to 1873, and makes out that they
come in periods of about ten years
1914; and as the sun spot period is the
same, he argues an intimate corre-
spondence of cause and effect between
the two. What is the exact nature of
this relation-how do the sun-spots
bring panics about, Prof. Jevons does
not attempt to inform us; he is content
to satisfy himself, and attempt to salts
fy us, that the spots are answerable for
the effect, without going behind the re-
turns to make further investigation.
According to the new theory, the spots
are not favorable to healthful trade and
good crops; the more spots there are to
be seen the worse it is for us; when the
sun shows the smallest spots and few
est of them, our vintage is good, our
crops abundant, and all things work
satisfactorily and pleasantly; but when
the telescope reveals huge, yawning
caverns through the photosphere, then
we may look out.
The practical lesson which this
teaches is that commission merchants
should study astronomy. Every option
dealer should have a telescope, and
take a square look at the sun every day
before he goes on 'Change,-St. Louis
Republican.

AT meeting of the French commits
sion appointed to report upon the
progress of the phylloxera and the
remedies, the Minister of Agriculture
said that the ravages of the insect were
rapidly spreading, and that whereas it
had made its appearance in only twen-
ty-eight departments at the beginning
of last year, thirty-nine were now in
vaded. OF the 4,000,0 900 acres of French
vines, one-fifth has been entirely de-
stroyed, while another fifth is rapidly
disappearing. The Government has
encouraged the formation of vigilance
committees which keep close watch
over the vines in their districts.

MANY people do themselves great in
jury by continuing to eat meat after it
has ceased to be in harmony either
with their organization, their manner
of life or labor in which they are en-
gagged, simply because it is the first
thing set before them at table. and be-
ing hungry they satisfy their craving
with meat, never stopping to consider
whether it is what they want or not.

evil.-Dr. Foote'S Health Monthly.
