Sentiment and Sense.

A strong shield is the safety of COM
manderS.
Whole homespun is better than rag
ged velvet.
Nothing is difficult to the brave and
faithful.
Peoples intentions can only be de-
cided from their conduct.
It's human nature to love to make eX-
periments at the expense of others.
1t is more honorable to acknowledge
our faults than to boast Of our merits.
You should consider your adversary
as absent when his senses are departed.
Those gifts are ever the most accepta-
BILE which the giver has made precious.
Tears are to be looked at not as proof
of very deep sorrow, but as gracious
relief to the killing intensity of such
grief.
Some men are with their character
much as they are with their money; the
less they have the more careful they
have TO be.
The sun, that mantles the mountains
kissed by the clouds and the mornings
sun. and speckless as the lily's inmOst
leaf, is not more pure than a pure wO-
man.
How few people have the good sense
to sit silent as they drive through the
groves, and let God speak. Nature holds
no sermon for them, nor could they I'M
derstand her.
No man can stilt himself up, or seek
applause on friends in high places, or
loud praise. If he belongs to the front
he will get there in time, and will re-
main there when he does arrive.
The gentle mind is like calm and
peaceful stream that reflects every OBJ
ject in its Just proportion. The violent
spirit, like troubled waters, renders back
images of things distorted and broken.
One had better sail boldly in almost
any direction than drift without any Ill
rection at all. One had better sail in
the maddest storm that ever troubled
the sea of life than lie on the sea and
drift with any chance wind that chooses
to blow.
Happiness is frail plant which sell
dom lives long on earth. 1t springs up
when it will; often in quiet, shady hooks
and corners, but seldom in cultivated
gardens 1t often blooms where one
would least expect it, and then suddenly
and Unexpectedly dies.
Let face be backed by blood and
mettle, let the soul be narrowed by eX-
perience and made mellow as a plOwed
field by burrows that had torn it up; let
it be made charitable by the sins of 9TH
ers, by a sense of it's own sins, and you
have face that will wear as many
changes of expression as the wind and
weather.

CLEVELAND, O., August 19-In an in
terview to-day with prominent Demo-
crat of this city the following interest
ing and important facts were ELECTED.
For various obvious reasons the gentle
man would not consent that his name
be made public: at is generally cOnce-
ded by the better thinkers of our party"
he said, ''that Ewing is 'goner.' 1t was
sad chance and a Sadder mistake that
nominated him. He was the weakest
candidate before the convention, and no
one thought it possible for him to pull
in. He had shown two years before
that 220 delegates was his entire
strength, and but for Uncle Dicks virile
rage and determination that Rice should
not succeed him, the great opportunity
of the party would not have been thrown
away. Rice would have been elected
without trouble. He is the choice of
the party to-day, and there are those
who are not such blind eaters of crow
but that they show their disrelish. You
see that none of the leaders of the party
are at work. Ewing is doing his own
stumping, and thus far he has not re-
ceived single bit of assistance, except
from his bungling amateur Chairman.
He has snubbed everybody, and every
body now feels like taking back seats
and viewing the battle from afar.
wonder the Republican papers say so
little about the matter from this stand
point. Rice is not in the field. They
claim he is sick. So are we all. Thur
mans friends are doing nothing, and l
can see no inducement for them to do
anything. If Ewing wins he will want
everything for himself, and, therefore,
the party feels like letting him gain it
for himself. An effort will be made to
carry the Legislature, but when the
head is wrong it is pretty hard to make
the tail right. l presume we will fail
in that. There is the greatest effort
made to whistle and keep up courage
that l ever saw. Take the Plain Deal
er, for instance, of this city. 1t is appa-
rently making a heroic effort to support
the ticket. But everybody knows that
Armstrong, the editor, despiSes Ewing
and Bishop forces which put him in
nomination. For several days after the
convention the editorial page was filled
with complaints. 1t says nothing hard
ly in support of Ewing now, and its
loudest argument is to call Mr.. Foster
"Yardstick Charlie" This is way it
has of diverting itself. So far as 1 can
see or hear Mr.. Ewing is going to be
left pretty much alone by the party. He
was forced upon us, and now he may do
the best he can. suppose my remarks
will be voted the utterances of sore
head. am not particularly sore. am
Democrat, and shall vote the Demo-
cratic ticket. 1 only tell the drift of
sentiment as see it and hear it, and
the public may as well know it first as
last. have just one more observation
to make about our party, and that is
that it has the most remarkable facility
for throwing away its opportunities of
any organization that ever had an exist
ence. Whenever the time comes to take
fortune at its flood, the party is never
ready but lets the opportunity ebb away
The above remarks seem to convey
the whole situation in nutshell, and
knowing their high source as 1 do they
are given double Importance.

OLIVER DALRYMPLE, the wheat king,
lives at Fargo, Dakota. He may be seen
anywhere and everywhere on his mann
moth estate throughout the day. AfoOt,
on horseback. or in carriage, he is always
on hand to look after his own and his
partners interests, and every detail of
the great business appears to him IA
miliar. He is tall, thin, pleasant-loOk-
ing gentleman of about fifty-fve years
of age, and though he would not be
picked out in an assemblage as a great
man, any one who visits the Dalrymple
farms, in the Red River Valley, and
sees the monarch of the American
wheat fields at home, cannot but come
away enthusiastic in praise Of an execu-
tive ability which may well be COM
pared to that of the manager of a great
military campaign.

why the Boy was ssDoubIed Up ''

A big newsboy was yesterday doubled
over bench at the City Hall Market,
too sick to move and too discouraged to
care what became of him. Two or three
of the motherly market women fixed
him up doses of pepper, and when he
was a little better, one of them said:
"Boy, you want to let harvest apples

Harvest apples?" he sneered-"do
you think eight or nine harvest apples
could double up big boy like me?"

"Yes, did," answered the boy, "but
they didn't make only mouthful. 10th

with green glasses on.

September.

The golder-rod is yellow;
The corn is turning brown;
The trees in apple orchards
With fruit are bending down.
The gentian's bluest fringes
Are curling in the sun;
In dusty pods the milkweed
Its hidden silk has spun.
The sedges flaunt their harvest,
In every meadow nook;
And asters by the brOok-side
Make aSterS in the brook.
From dewy lanes at morning
The grapes sweet odor rise;
At noon the roads all tlutter
With yellow butterflies.
BY all these lovely tokens
September days are here,
With summers best of weather,
And autumn's best of cheer.
But none of all this beauty
Which floods the earth and air,
Is unto me the secret
Which makes September fair.
'Tis a thing which l remember;
To name it thrills me yet:
One day of one September
l never can forget.

erman, as he slammed down the lid and
turned the key.
Mrs. Bowerman had been at it just
seven days and seven nights, and when
the husband went up stairs at 10 o'clock
she sat down before the open trunk with
tears in her eyes.
You see how it is" she explained, as
he looked down upon her in awful con-
tempt. 1--WE got only part of my dress
es in here saying nothing of thousand
other things, and even now the lid won't
shut down. I've got such headache l
must lop down for few minutes.
She went away to lop, and Mr.. Bower
man sat down and mused:
space is space. The use of space is
in knowing how to utilize it."
Removing everything. he began re-
packing. He found that silk dress
could be rolled to the size of a quart
jug. A freshly starched lawn was made
to take the place of pair of slippers.
Her brown bunting lifted into the niche
niche she had reserved for three hand
kerchiefs, and her best bonnet was turn
ed bottom up in its box, and packed full
full of underclOthing. He sat there
viewing sufficient empty space to pack
in a whole bed, when she returned and
said he was the only real good husband
in this world, and she kissed him on the
nose as he turned the key.
Its simply the difference between the
sexes" was his patronizing reply, as he
went down stairs to turn on the burglar
alarm.
When that wife opened that trunk
last night! But screams and shrieks
would avail nothing.

There is one advantage in mixing oats

There is one advantage in mixing oats
or ground feed of any kind with cut hay
Or straw, and that is the more perfect
mastication which the animal gives in
this case but it is doubtful if this advan.
tage holds good with cattle, as they do
not chew their food perfectly when eat
en-, but rely on the rumlnation which fol.
lows. In mixing feed for horses we
should not put great amount Of coarse
food with the grain, or we will give more
than the stomach will hold, and the last
porrons eaten will force the first ones into
the intestines before they are thoroughly
impregnated with the gastricjuice. Thus,
two pounds of hay and four pounds OF
oats are about as much as should be fed
at once when mixed, and if more oats are
given the hay should be decreased. For
instance, five pounds of oats ana one and
half pounds of hay may De:given.
Now, these facts will give US a better
understanding of the effect of water on
digestion. If, after feeding hay and then
oats, we allow horse to take large
drink of water, a considerable part Of tho
oats will be carried by the water into the
intestines, and we get little of the advan-
tage OF feeding the oats after the hay
1t such drink is taken soon after eat
ing h:y alone, the effect will not be 50 in
'urious, because hay does not need so
long time for digestion as grain. If
only one or two quarts Of water are al
lowed, it will pass food in the stomach
without changing its position to any
great extent. When the stomach has got
rid of a considerable part of its contents,
1t seems difficult matter for it to force
out the remainder. and fermentation and
collie sometimes result; drink of water
at such time, by carrying on the sub
stance which has remained long enough,
relieves the condition. This probably
explains why some horse-car companies
have found 1t advisable to have their
horses watered at mldn1ght.-Micaigan
Farmer.

Water and Food for Horses.

Horses and cattle normally require, in
round numbers, four pounds of water for
each pound of dry substance in the food,
while sheep require but two pounds, or
half as much. This estimate, the resul
of many careful experiments, includes
the water contained in the food as that
in the drink. The amount ofwater need
ed by pigs has not, think, been ac-
curately determined. s~r. ~ .~.. -
With horses we find d different diges
tive arrangement-one that changes the
conditions which were suitable for ru.
minants to very important extent.
Horses have but one stomach, and that
relatively small; it contains, when fully
distended, but fifteen to- sixteen quarts,
and in this condition is too full for the
performance of its functions. Usually,
when dlgesting the food, the horse q
stomach does not contain more than, ten
quarts, and as more feod is eaten some OF
the contents pass onward into. the in
testines to make room for it. In eating
full feed of hay, the stomach is flied
two or three times, SO The part first eaten
can remain but short time for digestion
Now, here is point of great lmportance-
the albuminoids OF the food are digested
in the stomach, and stomachful of grain
contains tour to six times as much OF
these as stomachful of hay consequent
ly, for q sufficient quantity Of gastric
juice to be mixedswith the grain and pro.
duce its full effect requires much long.
or time than with hay If then we feed
oats or corn, and Immediately afterward
hay, we may be very certain that the
grain will be =, forced, from the stomach
before it is perfectly digested; but if We
feed the hay first, and then the grain, il
is not difficult to understand that the
latter can remain in the stomach sufh.
