THE GENTLE Cow

Down in Texas they have got the COW
question reduced to fine point. They
have evidently given the subject more
thought than we have here, and reached
a more advanced pOsition-One that re-
cogniZes the rights and liberties of the
cow-but it shows what agitation of the
question will result in and what we may
expect here, in course of time. The sit
uation there is described in the follow
ing extract from San Antonio letter to
the Galveston News:
There are a great many persons in San
Antonio who kept COWS, horses, mules
and goats. Just now these stock owners
are in a very infiamed state of mind
They are thinking of calling an indigna-
ton mass meeting. The cause of all
this trouble is to be found in the fact
that Just now a great many malicious
persons are planting out choice shrub
berry, fruit trees, shade trees and the in
jury to cattle, donkeys and such animals
from Over-eating themselves on this too
rich fodder, is very great. Mr.. Schmitt,
who lives in ward No. q, met me yester-
day, and told me his grievances. He
has three fine milk cows. A few days
ago he noticed a peculiar taste in the
milk. He employed detective to find
the guilty parties. He found out sever
al of his neighbors had imported dahlias
and other shrubbery, and permitted his
(Schmitt's) COWS to eat at least peck of
unhealthy herbs. He also complained
that the COW hurt herself in break
ing down the fences to get at the shrub
berry. Schmitt is going to hold the city
responsible for damages. 1t is the duty of
the city to prevent his neighbOrs from
planting out exOtics that are injurious to
cattle.
Schmitt has drawn up an ordinance
which will be laid before the city cOun-
Gil, and which may be useful to other cit
les where fine flowers, shrubbery, and
other worthless exotics make it unsafe
for mules, goats and goats and cows TO
be running at large.
CITY ORDINANCE.
Any person or persons owning rare
plants, who shall permit the same to run
at large on the streets of San Antonio
shall be fined S..
Any person or persons who shall
leave shrubbery, shade-trees or fruits out
of doors after night shall be impOunded
Any person or persons who shall neg
lect to leave his front gate open, and il
shall happen that cow or other privi-
legged character shall injure itself in
climbing the fence, the owners of said
gates shall be dealt with contrary to law.
Any citizen of San Antonio not COM
ing under the head of horse, jack, mule,
cattle sheep, SWINE or goat, who may be,
asleep on the pavement of dark night
shall be arrested for committing a nui
sance.
All existing cattle ordinances in OppO
sition thereto are repealed.
ResOlUed, That a taxpayer has no
right which any horse, mule, jack or
cow is bound to respect
1t is estimated in all seriousness that
stray animals destroy thousands of dol
lars worth of shrubbery every spring.
One cow worth ten years ago ten dollars
in confederate money, old issue, has been
known to eat up $75 worth of fine trees
in II 3 minutes, besides going off with
an entirely new pitch fork.

EQUAL to an Emerpencv.

Readiness in unforeseen emergencies
is of the greatest value to manager and
actor alike. A word fails the memory
at ar important stage of tn play, or
some accident occurs to mar o. wen put
a stop to all further proceedings. On
such occasions fertility of resource is of
the greatest moment, and has over and
over again saved the credit Of all con-
cerned. In fact, the readiness of an &C.
tor or manager to turn an apparent dis
aster into a happy interlude is much on
a par with the presence of mind that
guides a skillful general to victory. This
readiness was we'll displayed on the stage
by Luguet, when playing the bearer Of
an important dispatch, on the contents
of which the plot of the drama turned.
By mistake the property man gave
Luguet q blank sheet Of paper, which
he handed to the mimic king, who, not
having studied the words which ought
to have been written on the dispatch,
was in a quandary. He got out of it by
handing the paper back to the messen-
ger with the command: "Read it to me,
sirrahl" Luguet, however, was equal
to the occasion, and responded: "Alas,
sir, born of poor but honest parents, /
never learned to read.'@Chamber's

small amount Of nitrogen explains At
least one reason for the low value of
apples for feed and for manure, when
fed alone; and second, to make econom.
ical fodder for apples or pomace, food
rich in nitrogen should be added. In
this way not only the sugar, but also the
pectose, of which apples are largely
composed, may be economically utilized
as food.

HOUSE PLANTS.

Most of our plants are injured by too
much heat. For a general collection of
house plants, it is not best to allow the
Thermometer to be above70 and if they
could be kept in a room where the Their
mometer would not usually range much
above 65o it would be better. In the
night time 500 is enough. Give a little
fresh air every day, and all the sunlight
attainable. An effort should be made
to give moisture to the atmosphere, for
our OWL good, as we'll as the health of
the plants.

A sick Senator.

The excessive corpulency OF . certain United
States senator has long been the butt OF edi-
torial wit and spicy mon mots from the pens OF
Washington correspondents. Few persons have
suspected hat his obesity was . disease. and
liable to prove fatal. Yet thisi il the sad fact.
Excessive fairness is not only 3 disease in itself,
but it is liable to generate other and more So
rious ones. Chemistry has at last revealed q
safe, sure, and reliable remedy for this abnor-
NAL condition Of the system in Allan's Anti
Fat. Distinguished chemists have pronounced
it not only harmless but very beneficial to the
system, while r~emedyinE the diseased condi-
ton. Sold by druggists.

o.sexe> ,he Circulation.

Don't let the blood stagnate in your veins.
You can prevent its doing SO by increasing its
volume and purity. by stimulating the diges.
tive organs. and encouraging assimilation, with
that matchless vitalizing agent, Hos.etter's
Stomach Bitters. People not afflicted with any
rganio or inorganic disease, grow wan and
haggard simply because their blood 10 thin,
watery, deficient in nourishing properties and
SO meager in quantity that the extremitiss are
very imperfectly supplied with it, and the So
perhcisl circulation extremely feeble. Hence
the bloodless appearance Of the countenance.
But when the Bitters are used to enrich and
quicken the blood, the rosy hue Of health re-
stance a. we'll as vigor, the appetite improves,
and NO digestive qualms interfere either with
its qualification or the Subsequent tranquility
of the stomach.

en- in a mortar; n cup of sugar, one
egg and a half, and two tsblespoonfuls
OF -four; bake on a creased paper; put
very little in a place.
FRENCH KNOTS.
Every dabbler in embroidery thinks
that she can make a French knot, but
there are few who know the rapid old
fashioned way of doing it. The silk
should be held down firmly by the left
thumb, at about an inch to the left of
the place where it m through the
cloth, and then the needle should be
passed under and over the thread three
times, and then through the cloth close
to the point wher re the silk comes up.
CELERY SAUCE.
Wash clean six or eight heads of Gel
cry and take off the outer leaves; Gu,
the heads up into bits three or foul
inches long. Stew them untilstender in
half a pint of broth or white gravy; ther
add two spoonfuls of cream and an ounce
of butter rolled in -four; season with
pepper and salt, and simmer the whole
together. The leaves will do to favor
SOUP that is to be strained.
