having an appearance of domage was being
examined when the interior of the bale was
found to contain large quantity of snow
which had been placed there by the parties
who put up the package. The snow was
in large Jumps and occupied quite space
in tho interior of the bale. IL appeared to
be almost as firm as when placed in the

a TEST RECORD FOR DAIRY Cows
For some time past both the breeders and
the purchasers of pure-bred, herd book re-
corded, dairy cows, have been convinced
that something more is required to give sub.
stantial evidence Of value than the bare
pedigree of an animal entered in Herd.
Book. A few experts, who know the whole
history of the best animals, may have been
able to judge Of the possible merits OF a
particular animal by her pedigree, but to
the large majory Of purchasers, the record
cd entries were Of no Ilore significance than
the hieroglvphics WHICH Texan cattle men
brand upon the fanks of their COWS. Mys.
terry is always impressive. And though
some people like to be mystifcd, the larger
number of dairymcn, who have kept pure
bred animals, have been greatly dissatisfied
with the uncertainties Of the Herd Books.
Rnoanly So..,a E..te -. nan..satian with
the shipment to the West, and sale there,
of some COWS recorded in the Jersey Cattle
Club Register, have opened the eyes of the
purchasers Of pure-bred cattle, for they
have been assured by the best authority
that although COW may have been record.
cd in the Register, and her pedigree may
may be perfect, yet she may possibly be "a
worthless brute" This shock to the con
fidence of persous who had profound re-
spect for ga record" has greatly helped the
impression that something more is wanted
to give the pedigree meaning and a value;
and that this need is record Of pcrtorn,-
ances Of the COWS entered in the Herd.
Book. It is proposed by some Scll>known
and influential gentlemen to establish sys-
ten Of tests of pure bred dairy cows, to the
end that their character, quality, and value
may be associated in the record with their
pedigree. Then, any uninitiated purchaser
cVcif, may DC aUIc W huvm u,uo.. f.v.l Il
perusal of the record as any expert, aud a
COW S genealogy will be accompanied by an
authenticated statement of the accomplish.
ments Of her progenitors. This is all that
is needed 20 make record perfect, and it is
happy conception.-Am. AyricahuriSt

that served to convey the gas to the same
burner. Whether tho wires thus connected
come from battery in another part of the
house, or from some larger common reservoir
OF electricity outside the house, is a point
as to which householdcrs will be able to
choose for themselves, since both sources
are contemplated by the inventor. Mr.
Edison, 1T will be seen in the narrative, has
contrlved battery for household use which
can be adapted to any different number of
lamps and to other uses also-can light the
house at night and run the sewing machine
or rock the cradle all day. For country
houses, or for the houses in the city of pee
pie who want to keep themselves out of the
clutches OF corporations that may succeed
the gas companies, that will be the chosen
soefce OF SeisctricIty. DutS1uSUygE5sea.;ty ;ty,
this subtle fluid will be made on d E4fgc
scale and served to houses as fixed price
as gas is now served, and of course the
street lamps must be served from such great
public laboratories.
Edison's discovery of substance upon
which electricity could produce the Ii ght
OF lncandescence with comparative inexpen
slveness and perfect effect is one of those
little romauces of science with which the
pathway to ev,ry great invention is strewed.
Platinum was great obstacle for while
IN this hunt; and, not altogether satisfacto-
ry In operation while of extremely high
value, it seemed at the moment as if it
might make the search altogether vain
But the happy discovery Of the uses Of
bit of cotton thread has turned in moment
the whole current Of this story into a for
tunate channel, and we are rcioiced to con-
graduate not merely Edison, but the peo-
pic of all civilized nations upon Edison's
success.

A japanese Sailors Funeral.
From the N. Y. Tribunc.l

The Japanese training ship Taukuba,
sailed from San Francisco for Honolulu
on July 80. Her departure had been
delayed for several days by the death of
one of her seamen. In the arrangement
for his funeral the officers and crew
showed great kindness and delicacy of
feeling, and the funeral itself was an in
teresting occasion. As many of the Of
ficers and crew as could be spared were
present, and eight of the sailors acted as
pail bearers. Some of the ceremonies
were very curious. When the cof-
fin had been lowered into the grave, the
officer in charge placed a small table at
its head and put thereon several kinds
of vegetables, fruits, sweetmeats and a
glass Of wine. The feast being prepared,
the officers. according to rank, singly
proceeded to the table, and with uncov-
redheads made very reverential obeis-
sance. After them came the cadets
and then followed the marines. Lieu
tenant Senju then read a short culogy.
It was in effect that Y. Mataba had been
a brave and true sailor in his Japanese
majesty's service; that he bore an un-
sullied character, and that the entire
company on board the Taukuba mourned
his loss. They felt sure that one so up
right and diligent, and one who pos
sessed SO many manly virtues could have
no difficulty in crossing the dark ocean
the unknown-and would speedily find
q safe harbor of refuge in which to an
Choir. The marine corps then formed at
the head of the grave and fired three
salutes over the dead comrade and at the
conclusion of each the trumpeter blew q
very melancholy blast. In the same
order as before each Japanese then threw
a handful of earth upon the coffin, after
which the grave-digeers rapidly filed up
the grave. One Of the peculiarities Of
the funeral rite wns q long piece Of mus
lin placed near the table,, upon which
we're written some kind words, reciting
the goodqualities of the dead man, and
signed by each of his messmates--a sort
of certificate of good character, in case
he should require such a document.
One of the thoughtful and graceful acts
of the crew and officers of the Taukuba
while at San Francisco was the repairing
of the graves of the four Japanese sail
ors buried there six or eight years ago.
These graves were in a very dilapidated
condition, but six officers and men spent
two days in restoring them. Though
strangers to those to whom they paid this
respect, they remembered that the sail
OBS were Japanese and were buried in a
foreign country.
