A Busy Man.

John Rogers, the sculptor, is one of
the busiest as well as the most popular
Of artists. Scarcely has he finished one
one of his inimitable groups, than he
begins another with unabated zeal and
vigor-working upon it early and late,
until his idea is thoroughly developed in
clay; then the figures are copied in some
harder material, and then (by process
OF Mr.. Rogers's own) they are reproduced
in the gray-tinted plaster so we'll kown
to the admirers of his own. Hardly was
his photographer and Sitter" before the
public, than there came an announcement
that before the holidays there would be
another group issued-"The Peddler;;"
and this promise is redeemed already.
and advance copies of the new work are
appearing at the art stores. We have
not seen it, but we know what to expect
the same nicely of detail,
faithfulness of copying, accuracy of at
tltude and drapery, and naturalness of
expression-the same careful, conscien-
tious pains taking that characterizes his
every work, and that stamps him one of
the best artists of our time. There is
nothing Rogers has produced that he
need be ashamed of-nothing but tells
its story at a glance. We hail him the
Artist of the Common People-and long
may he live and prosper!

A Quaint English Custom.

Once in every year the treasury of Lon
don honors draft to the amount of $3.50
in payment for certain wooden goods that
have been presented by the city to the
highest officers of the Crown. From q
list in the Cham berlin's office, it appears
that there are ,thirteen gentlemen who re-
spectivcly receive this complimentary gift
Of "four and one-half yards of the finest
black cloth that the country can produce" "
For this singular custom there IS now no
reason or authority beyond dSwhat may be
derived from precedent. It was thought
to be right and proper in the days of Ed
ward T., and therefore it may not be dis
continued in the reign of Victoria. An
tiquarian research has traced it back to
1e72, and it may antedate even tthat re-
mote Ieriod for all that is definitely
known to the contrary. Originally de-
signed to foster feeble manufacturing
interest, it is continued at a time when
that interest is exporting the finest fabrics
to colonies and dependent states in lands
whose existence was not dreamed of in
King Edwards time. The gift long since
lost all significance as a protective meas
ure to incipient enterprise, but, like q
thousand and one English matters of rou-
tine, the custom remains, simply and on
ly because it is custom.

Origin of Water-Cure.

The originator Of hydropathy, or the
water cure, was German peasant named
Vincent Priessnitz, who certainly went
through much tribu,ation before his theo-
ry was full developed. At thirteen years
of age he sprained his wrist, and he re-
lieved the pain by the application of cold
water. Soon afterwards he crushed his
thumb and found relief by the same
treatment. In his nineteenth year he
fractured several of his ribs and so dis
placed the bones that the surgeon could
not reset them; but he himself was equal
TO the emergency, and, leaning across
window-sill, he took deep breath and 50
expanded his lungs that the edges Of the
broken bones we're brought into place.
He then subducd the pain and soreness
by applying wet bandages to his chest.
He became known to his neighbors as
the ''water DOCTOR" and in 1889 founded
the first water cure institution, which was
the celebrated Grafenberg establishment

Peculiarities of English Trade.

English tradesmen have the most pecu-
liar way of only keeping one or two of the
component parts of divisible object, if
the rest of it happens not to exactly be-
long to their line of business, and so you
have to keep trotting around to a dozen
stores sometimes to find a thing that in
America you would have been sure to be
able to purchase en- bloc. The other day
an American gentleman started out from
the Langham to purchase scrap-book,
and mucilage bottle. He bought the
scrap book, but found this stationer did
not keep mucilage, and was directed to
another for that; and after buying the
mucilage he was surprised to find that the
bottle had no brush, nor did this mer-
chant keep brushes, and to obtain brush
he was obliged to go to a third vender. To
this individual he expressed surprise az
this odd way of doing business, and saiG,
'Now, in America, I should have found
all these things In the first store I went
into" "Indeed2" replied the shopkeep-
er. "They must have very large capital
then" "No,' answered the gentleman; !;
"but they have a singular knack of keep
ing things that people want" To buy
eight shillings' worth of things he had
spent twelve shillings for cab hire.

in another they were permitted to make
only a fixed number of marriages,
but everywhere thev were burdened with
imposts of the most various kinds-in
addition to the general taxation partly
of an iniquitously offensive character.
Thus, for instance, under Frederick Will
liam |, the Jews in Berlin were obliged
to buy the boars killed in the great royal
hunts, and under Frederick the Great every
Jew on his marriage was obliged to pur-
chase, at fixed price, porcelain out of
the newly established royal porcelain
manufactory in Berlin, and, moreover,
not according to his own choice, but ac-
cording to the liking of the establish.
ment, which naturally in this way got
rid OF unstable articles. So Moses Men
delssone,swho at that time was already
generally known and respected, was ob-
liged to take 20 massive porcelain apes
OF life size, of which few still remain
in the family. Almost the only means
of living which the Jews possessed was
retail trade, and even this only with re-
strictions; thus they were not permitted
to deal in groceries, because the trade
was monopoly; all that remained was
The trace in old clothes and drapery and
money, that is, the so-called usury.

Care 0fthaCnws

This is about the season of the wear
when mich cows require more than or
dlnary attention: If not properly cared
for, now that the pastures are getting
short, they will begin to shrink in their
milk, and something in the line Of pre-
pared feed must be given, them to increase
or at least, to keep up the desired flow of
milk. High feeding is not necessary so
early IN the season, but moderate al
lowance of some kind OF good feed,
While the COWS are yet allowed to run on
short pastures, is required to keep them
from drying up to too great degree.
Hay nicely cured IS good in its place,
but it fed alone, even lavishly, the result
in milk and butter will not be core
spondingly increased. It will be found
paying investment to feed COWS moder
ately with roots and cabbages even, as
they will pay better in this way than in
most others. Stops variously prepared,
with meal, bran and shorts, are eagerly
devoured by COWS, greatly to their own
satisfaction and to the decided advan-
tage OF the owner. Properly supplied
with food suited to the season, COWS will
continue to give liberal supplies of milk
many weeks longer than they otherwise
would do, without any detrimert to their
productiveness the ensuing season. There
is no necessity for COW to go dry three
or four months, and with proper attention
to feeding, the period of non production
may be considerably abridged.
But in any case, whether giving milk
or not, COWS should not be allowed to get
poor or weak as the season for their com.
ing in approaches. They should be kept
In good condition, not fattened as though
in preparation for the butcher, that when
the maternal period arrives, they may be
able to stand up without propping.
Cared for as they should be during the
winter they will come out in the spring
in good heart and ready for service dur
ing the dairy season. If not cared for
properly, now that winter is approaching,
they will at once begin to dry up, and
entirely fail in their milk months before
their calving season arrives. Feed judi
ciously-beginning early-shelter we'll,
use the card freely. and there can be no
question but that COWS thus treated will
do well and pay back with interest for
the expense and care bestowed upon them.

The better the farmer the more success
full will he be in his financial as we'll as
agricultural efforts. Every farmer should
entertain a very high opinion of his en-
ployment, and at the same time not forget
that in unintelligent labor there is no
dignity. The short sighted, aimless, in

A daily ration of green food is actual
ly necessary for laying hens. Vegetables,
either cooked or raw, are much relished
also, and serve in some measure to supply
the place of green diet. Onions, chopped
fine and mixed with their food, are ex-
ceedingly wholesome, and, if not cure,
are certainly preventive of disease in
many instances. Growing chickens are
even more anxious for green food than
laying hens.

were forbidden to live in corner houses.
