How to Treat Animals.

Another individual attempts by run
ming and yelling to catch his COW or
cows. Why do these naturally gentle
animals run away from him? Because
they remember full we'll that on former
occasions when he has succeeded in
catching them series of blows from
some heavy cudgel has been their re-
ward. Is there not some better way Of
securing the goodwill OF our herds and
in managing them as we wish? There
is hollow place on the head of every
COW, just behind the junction of the
horns, which is commonly full of dust,
short hairs and the like, causing the
animal an itching sensation. 1t is a
source of extreme pleasure to the COW
to have the spot scratched, and since
from it's location the animal cannot
reach it, hence when her keeper ap-
proaches her either in the stable or in
the pasture, an era of good feeling may
be established if due attention be paid
to scratching the hollow spot. If at
your first approach the COW is little
shy, offer her from one hand a nubbin
of corn, while with the other hand you
gently scratch the particular spot in
her head mentioned above. In very
short time, whenever you go into pas
ture, the whole herd will come to You
to have their heads scratched, and you
| will soon be satisfied that it is rs easy
to have them follow you as to resort tc
driving and loud noise.-America'a Cul

HEALTH HINTS.

The worst forms Of disease grow out
of excessive appetitive indulgence in
the way Of eating.
Educate the stomach. When it is
once accustomed to simple food, vo-
racious appetite, distress and disease
will disappear.

A short but excellent paper on insom-
mia and other troubles connected with
sleep in persons of equity disposition
has appeared in an English medical
journal. The writer, Mr.. Dyce Duck
worth, deprecates the use Of so-called
hypnotics as means of relief, and he
says that strict attention to diet, free
dilution of the blood with bland fluids,
regulated exercise Of both mental and
bodily faculties, together with occas
ional mercurial purgatives, will COM
monty avail to overcome the misdirect.
ed tendencies and to secure good nights
for sufferers.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Glover Hay for Horses.

Glover hay is very nutritious food for
horses, and when we'll cured and put
up so as to be free from dust and mold,
may be fed with entire safety. The
principal objection to its use lies in the
great difficulty which attends its curing
and preservation. Another objection is
found in the fact that sometimes the
second crop excites in horses an unusual
and exhausting flow of saliva. When
either of these objections are present,
1t is better to dispense with its use en-
tirely, SO far as the horses are concerned
but otherwise it is good and safe food.

''Half over the world, my love-" he
cried, merrily; "and in luck's way, too.
A nice little fortune I've gathered;

you will"
Then looking at his bronzed face,

she told him shyly how handsome he
had grown, and really he was too good
looking for her; and he laughed, and
said she ought to keep that to tell him

And SO they were married some three
months afterward, and Burnham house

NeWspaper Advertising.

The first-class newspaper or period
cal possesses very obvious advantages
as an advertising medium. 1t goes into
the family, is read by each member,
and is frequently so much in demand
that while one is reading it another is
impatiently awaiting his or her turn,
1t has features which cause it TO be pre-
served for q day or two. if not longer
and it is usually taken up several times
after the first reading. The advertise
ments are looked at rs we'll as the news,
and if anything mentioned in the ad-
vertising columns is especially needed
in the household, it is eagerly noticed,
and one of the family will be likely to
start out to purchase it. Every day a
large number of persons who are in
need of some article turn to the adver-
tising columns of newspapers in the
hope of finding an announcement OF
what they want. Newspaper advertise
ments are thus looked at when the
reader is in q mood to make pur-
chase, bnt the inscriptions. on rocks and
boards, and the other catchpenny ways
of advertising, will only by mere chance
meet ones eye when the mind desires
what is mentioned. Moreover, the news
paper advertisement is superior to all
other forms of advertising in versatil-
ity. For instance, the advertisement
of grocery man can be at once altered
SO as to considerably increase his trade
by putting an announcement of some
| desirable goods just received in the
place of some long-standing announce,
ment of staple articles with which the
public are already quite familiar. The
public are on the lookout for novelties
and special bargains, and there is nc
other medium than the newspaper
through which they can satisfactorily
and easily keep posted in these re-
spects.
1T cannot be too carefully borne ir
mind that the great advantages belong
ing to newspaper advertising can only
be fully and satisfactorily derived from
advertisements in the best papers, those
which have high literary and mora
worth, and find their way into the mos
respectable and thrifty families. The
sensational papers, the papers tina
treat only OF ephemeral matters in {
superficial way, that have a skim-mill
make up, ana are perhaps only hastily
glanced at as one rides in the horse-cal
and then thrown away, are obviously
poor mediums for advertising.
The country weekly is undoubtedly
one of the best papers in which to ad
vertise. It's circulation may be small
and mostly confined to one locality, bu
it goes among families who read it ant
preserve it more carefully than the cit,
man does his daily paper, and who de
pend on it almost exclusively for wha
advertising information they need.
large circulation, by the way, although
very desirable, cannot make a pape
that is deficient in character and literar
excellence a valuable advertising me
dunn, while paper of high standing
with but a moderate circulation cal
command the most valuable patronage

What Is Patent Flour I!

Patent -four is now coming into gen.
eral use, and many of our readers may
be interested in reading the following
explanation o what it is and how it is
made, taken tod the Prairie F'rmer
Until recently the best -four was made
from winter wheat; or, rather, the flour
made from winter wheat sold for the
most money because it was white. But
it consisted for the most part of the
starch of the grain, while the most of
the gluten (the most nutritious part of
the srain) went into the middlings.
In grinding spring WHEAT SO much
bran remained in the -four that it was
too dark to suit the taste of the con-
sumors. But the middlngs, which
sold at low price, has become the most
desirable part of the grain.
Middling puri6ers-by which the
bran is separated from the middlings-
have made revolution in the business
of milling.
By the new process the wheat is
ground as before, except that the efforts
of the miller are directed to obtain the
most middlings possible, and these are
placed upon large horizontal sieves
which are constantly agitated, while, at
the same time, by ingenious devices, a
draft of air is rushed up through the
sieves which carries off the bran.
The purified middlings are then re-
ground, and the product is ''patent
flour, containing the glutenous, or most
nutritious portion of the grain. Thus
it is explained why the hard spring
wheats of Minnesota, Northern Wis
consin and Dakota bring the highest
price in the market, whereas only few
years ago they commanded the lowest
price.

Lights Along tile Shore.

The wild sea thunders on the shore,
The wind blows chill from off the void.
The sea-gulls gather on the cliffs,
And prate and chatter of the cold;
The hoarse winds blow, the sun has set,
And "Lite," said, sis like the sea-.
Cruel, it casts our wrecks ashore,
In tempest and in misery"
A singing voice came up the cliffs,
A child with blue eyes, grave and sweet,
And fair hair blown about her face,
Sped up the path with flying feet.
"The fishing boats ere in p she cried,
"We've watched for them day or moro"
And looking down saw the nets,
And lights were glancing on the shore.
"At yester eve my mother wept,
The white gulls flew far out to sea,
The great waves beat upon the sand,
The surf rolled in so heavily;
At yonder door she stands and waits"
And singing still, she fitted past.

The question of transferring the Rus
sian capital from st. Petersburg to
Moscow is being aRitated in the Rus
sian newspapers. The warmest advo-
Gates of the project are the Panslavists,
who look upon st. Petersburg as the
typical representative of the "traitorous
reforms" of Peter the Great, and upon
Moscow as the true center of Russian
patriotism. On the other side it is
urged that the history of Russia as q
great European power dates from the
foundation of st. Petersburg, and that
the patriotism of Moscow is merely OF
local or provincial kind. st. Peters.

The destruction of property by fire
during September, in the United States
and Canada, amounted to S13, $50, 900.
The forest fires in Michigan and else
where swept away $4,000,000 worth of
property at the lowest estimate. The
Commercial Bulletin says that, apart
from the three great conhagrations OF
modern American history, it cannot
recall single month so full of fiery
disaster to the country as that of Sep
tember, 1881, and it adds: "With every
allowance for pure accident and ele-
mental adversities - such as the
drought, lightning, etc. - the great
bulk of all this waste must still be
charged upon that disregard of plain
precautions which hasr started and fed
these Hames. Care might have pre-.
vented nine-tenths of the fires. But
carelessness, in fact, has been the in.
cendiary, and for carelessness there is
no other penalty than loss, in which
too often the innocent suffer more thar
the guilty"

A Chinese philosopher, writing in the
,Shenpao, claims that the reason why so
many rulers in Europe and America are
assassinated, and so few in China, is be-
cause the former countries DO not pos
sess the elaborate ceremonials of the
latter. He Gays: Westerns possess few
ceremonies; superiors and interiors are
commingled, and subjects venture on
their poisonous plots. China has her
shortcomings, and her ceremonial may
be excessive, but the highest authority
never falls into such abeyance. West
ern ceremonial is soant and the chief
power is often laid low. The lack OF
ceremony in the West brings constant
trouble and fear of death to the prince,
but the excess CT it in China saves her
at any rate from this and makes the
state stable. The guards of tho Rus
sian emperor and his inability to go
abroad, though preserving him, are not
so efficient as would be the enforcement
of decorum. The title of prince and
minister without the ceremonial bring
Inevitable revolution.

Mr. D. II. Williams, secretary Of the
Michigan Fire Relief committee of
Pittsburg, has made a thorough in
spection Of the burned district aud, for
the satisfaction of persons who have
contributed to relieve the sufferers,
makes public report in which he says
that the funds and supplies have been
wisely and efficiently distributed. Thero
is eneral satisfaction amC ng the bene-
ticiaries, and unboundcd gratitude to the
donors. Mr.. Williams adds: The fact
that planting time had arrived when the
fires occurred, and that there is now q
larger acreage sown than ever before, is
the best evidence of the efficiency of the
committees. There are no fences, but
the crop is in no danger of being de-
stroyed by rowing cattle. A little
watching and an abundance OF green
grass will protect the wheat for the
present. The extent of land under i'm
provement wasnot anticipated by me,
and the most astonishing fact was that,
with such an area of improved land, so
much destruction was possible. 1t is
rare to see SO much good farming land
in one body as exists in this region. To
sum up my observations, they lead me
to believe that there has been a wide
spread destruction of property, great
loss of human life, and vast number
of people requiring relief thrown upon
the charity CT the country.
1t is matter of discussion what Con-
gress will do for Mrs. Garfield. In this
connection the acts passed in relation
to Mrs. Mary Lincoln are of interest.
There were three acts of the kind
passed by Congress. The first act,
passed when Congress came together
after the assassination of President
Lincoln, was as follows: "That the
secretary of the treasury pay, out of
any money in the treasury not other
wise appropriated, to Mrs. Mary Lin
coin, widow of Abraham Lincoln, late
President of the United States, or in
the event of her death before payment,
to the lawful heirs, the sum of $25, 600;
provided always that any sum of money
which shall have been paid to the per-
sonal representatives of the said Abra-
ham Lincoln since his death, on ac-
count of his salary as President of the
United States for the current year, shall
be deducted from the said sum OF
$25, ,000.' The amount thus granted tc
Mrs. Lincoln was the salary of the
President for one year. Now that
salary is $4,000. In February, 1866
Congress passed the following act
"That all letters and packets carried
by post to and from Mary Lincoln
A
carried free of postage during her natu
raj life" In. 1870 the following act Wa
passed: "That the secretary of the in
terror be and is hereby authorized t.
place the name of Mary Lincoln, widoy
of Abraham Lincoln, deceased, lat
President of the United States, on tn
pension roll, and allow and pay her
pension at the rate of SO, 900 per annur
rom and after the passage of this act.

STRATEGIC RESULTS

The probable effect of piercing
the Central American lsthmus upon
the maritime trade of nearly one
third OF the commercial world has
been portrayed in the prospectus of
Mr.. de Lessep's new undertaking
with all the vigour of style, which
characteriZes such documents. The
shortening of route, and the tonnage
of shipping which must frequent them,
together with the values of the car
goes carried, are appropriately
dwelt upon in statements which are
put forward to enable investors to
form some estimate Of the probable
return on their capital. Figures of
the kind have another aspect of not
inferior Importance. They Indicate
the direction in which great streams
of commerce are at Il future date
! almo=t st!re to run. They trace, in
advance, lines upon the chart of the
world along which commercial fleets
will sail, and which it will be the
business of war fleets to keep oren
and tree from the incrrsions of hos
tile %navies. They call for on inquiry
INTO the value of'existing strategic
points, and render necessary an
examination of the defensive posi-.
bilities of the new routes, The
completion of the Suez Canal has
conclusively demonstrated how the
naval strategy of a great maritime
nation like ourselves may be modi-
fed by the opening of a fresh chan
mel to ocean traffic. The line OF the
Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean
has become vastly important
than could have been the case had
the outward and homeward routes
to the East for cargoes which could
not bear transhipment continued to
lie to the soufbward of both
Capes." The stations on that Ii1e
had their strategic value raised pro-
portionately, while that of those
which lie without it has undergone
a commensurate reduction. Even
the enormous commerce OF the Pa
cife is largely fed through the Red
Now the line OF the NJ c~dIterranean
