speaking of pictures, did you ever
look at lot of cattle portraits in an
agricultural magazine? And were you
ever able to distinguish a grain of diff
ference in-well say from 20 to 5000
portraits of famous cows? Can any one
make you believe that they are not all
printed from the same cut? And the
Autograph prints of famous trotting
horses, do you not suppose that one
horse stood for all the portraits? Now
we don't say that all cattle look alike,
nor all trotting horses, but we do say
that nearly all portraits of quadrilateral
COWS and anatomical horses are just as
nearly alike as human art can make
them.-Burlington Haa0keye.

Feeding Green Corn to Swine.

Green corn, as soon as it is fairly ripe
enough for ordinary table use, is prob
ably the very best fattening food avail
able to the general farmer for feeding
swine. The pigs eat it with peculiar
relish. and will grow and fatten upon it
with surprising rapidity. No food is
equal to this for putting pigs in good
-''show condition. for the fairs.
But while all this is true, it no doubt
is very expensive food when used at
this period. In discussion upon this
point to which we once listened, an old
farmer remarked that he had ''often
noticed that when his wife fed his hired
men on green corn at the table, one
man would often eat four or five ears,
while one of these same ears If ripened,
ground into meal and made into bread
would feed four or five men," Proba-
bly, this was overstating the difference,
but it is no doubt an expensive, and, in
some degree, q wasteful use of food to
use corn before it is fully ripened. -

Suicide Of q Child.

An extraordinary case of suicide has
occurred at Dukintield, Cheshire, the
victim being agirl named Amelia Birch,
aged twelve years. daughter of Eliza
beth Birch, a widow. It appears that
the girl has been from time to time en-
trusted with small sums of money to
pay debts owing by her mother to pro-
vision dealers and other shopkeepers,
but, instead of paying the accounts, it
TRANSFERRED that she had in some in
stances appropriated the money and
forged the signatures of the tradesmen
in a small book in which the accounts
were kept. This fact came to the
knowledge of Mrs. Birch, and she taxed
the deceased with the theft. Shortly
afterward the girl left the house to 60
to her work at q neighboring mill. She
did not return to breakfast, and on
search being made her pinafore, dress
and clogs were found on the bank of
the mill lodge or pond, and On the water
being dragged her lifeless body was re-
covered. -L0ssdop NesUs.

Moving Street Cars by Endless Cables.

Work preparatory to establishing the
wire cable system of motor for street
cars on State street has begun. The
street is being torn up for grading,
etc., and it will be some time before
the new process will be in operation.
This experiment will be an expensive
one. and there is no positive assurance
of its success. The system has worked
acceptably in San Francisco, where it
has been in use since 1873. Here there
is an advantage in the level of the
streets and the infrequency of curves.
The power building will be located at
the corner of State and Twenty-first
streets, and will be of brick, two stories
and basement, with a frontage of la
feet and a depth of Isl feet. There
will be four 25O-horse power engines.
The construction will be solid and SUBJ
stantial. The system of operation by
cable is thus descr;bed: Rails similar
to those now in use will rest on string
ers of pine. Every four feet there will
be ''yokes' of iron laid trans
versely, upon the centers of which
will be iron bearings, which will
support double longitudinal sections
u II lrOu, ScG W lOfu d SlOG, Inc space
between will be fitted in solidly with
concrete. The cable will be an inch
and quarter in diameter, of Swedish
iron, and will consist of six seventeen
strand coils, which is preferred to steel.
The cable will pass over drums at the
engine houses and terminal points. It
is the intention to divide the road into
two sections operated north and south
from the building. The cables will be
constantly in motion at the rate of six
miles an hour. All that is to be done is to
attach the car by "grips " to the cable.
For this purpose a sort of dummy at
tachment is used. The grip will he
similar to reverse lever, operated cas-
lily by one man. This can be made to
let 60 or lay hold of the cable instantly.
The grip cars are separate institutions,
to which the passenger cars will be
coupled. The capacity of the cars will
be nearly doubled. It is expected the
lines will be in operation in two months.

TIE ALPINE HORN

In Switzerland the Alpine horn
Sounds Oft the far.famed R0uz de bnches
As sweet to every native ear
As the bright fountains silvery splash.
But it has other uses here,
men ON the mountains snowy height
wv nile In the vale the sun is set)
There only CLEANS q softened light;
The herdsmen, then, who dwell so high
Toward the breaking OF the morn,
Within his chalet turns his steps
And from its walls takes down his horn;
And from its truncate length resounds.
Ger many height by man scarce trod,
From cot to cot in clearest notes,
The ewes salute: Praise the Lord God.
The huntsmen. from the peaks around,
Catch up the strain and sing it back;
Its peaceful notes like healing fall
On many lonely Alpine track.
Then silence reigning in their homes,
The herdsmen all kneel down to pray
For common veal; for this they ask
In their own simple, revcrent way.
Now from the horn they call again,
And echoes far from height to height,
Upon the air in cadence sweet,
The dear home phrase: "GOOd-night, good
night
Then to their rest they calmly go
That God will hold them in His hand,
In faith they sleep: and may He keep
These mountaineerS of Switzerland.

inches thick. It is the largest ever

proof, will not warp, and has greater
tensile strength than wood. If all this
be true, we may shortly be making
houses out of straw boards.
One letter out of every 800 sent is
unclaimed in the Office to which it goes.
One letter in 283 sent turns up at the
Dead Letter Office. One letter out of
every 3, 100 sent is held for postage at
the Office of mailing-and this amounts
to 800, 900 in a year. More than 2OO,-
600 letters every year are insuificiently
addressed. Ten thousand letters this
year bear no superscription whatever,
and these letters often contain remit
tances of great value. More than 2OO,-
600 foreign letters fail to reach the per-
sons TO whom they are addressed.
"A Roumanian engineer, Traian
Theodoresco by name, has invented a
new description of torpedo or subma-
rine boat, whose popularity is that it is
capable of maneuvering under water at
twelve hours on stretch. 1t is able to
act at the depths of from 100 feet in riv-
ers, and to 700 or 800 feet in the sea. 1t
is able, through the agency of screws, to
rise or sink nOiselessly, and either sud-
denly or gradually by successive stages,
can move or maneuver in any direction.
The illumination Of the vessel is inter-
nal, and enables the officers upon her to
see for distance of $50 feet under
water.
Another new application of cleo
tricity rs motor has been experiment.
ed on during the last few days in Paris.
Nj. &. Trouve, awell-known electrician,
has devised method of applying the
electrical current to the propulsion of a
boat, and so far the results have been
eminently satisfactory. The expert
ments have been made on the Seine on
several occasions with small boat con-
tanning from two to six persons. M.
Trouve's electric motor consisted of q
Siemens coil, which, by a simple but
ingenious arrangement, is made to
transmit its power to three-bladed
screw at the stern of the boat. The
motor itself is fixed on the upper part
of the rudder, which it follows in its
movements, as does also the screw.
The motor, with its accessories, does
not weigh more than five kilogrammes.
NJ. Trouve's apparatus may be adapted
to any boat, and there seems no reason
whatever why it might not be so modi-
fled as to be applicable to vessels of
much larger dimensions than that ex-
perimented on. Experiments in navi-
CATION by electricity were made on the
Neva in 1889 by jacob, but the method
adopted had SO many drawbacks as to
be practically useless.
