alton The muocence OF tho patron was
established BIT what was the cause Of
this change of quality in whole herdy
The committee reported that no cause was
discovered, except that the hay upon
which they had been fed during the pro
yious winter was of poor quality, and con
seluently the cows were exceedingly poor
in flesh These two cases are not claimed
to be sufficient to establish a principle; yet
they lead to questioning some OF the com
monty received views.
II is q common view that COW which |
produces large quantity OF milk neces-
arily produces a poor quality Has not
this view obtained from failure to oh |
serve the conditions Of milking stock? Is
there such relation between quantity and
quality that necessarily they are found in
inverse ratio to each other. The quality
may be poor because the production Of
large quantity keeps the animal in re-
luced condition. But every dairyman has
discovered that frequently his richest
mixers have been his largest mixers, and
hat only as they were reduced in flesh
have the quality and quantity alike failed.
Some cows produce such large guam
titles as always to be, while in milk, poor
in flesh, but this does not initiate against
he following conclusions Cows of the
same breed, kept in equal conditions quail
ty to quantity, will more frequently be
Iound in direct than in inverse ratio to
each other. H, in Country Gentleman.

The Perfume Hunter.

Tho genuine fortune hunter is a Yen-
table scamp - merccnary, cruel and
greedy. When Some rich women marry
some poor men, they little imagine the
misery they are creating for themselves.
A man who woos q woman with merce-
nary motives is rather apt to hate her
for being worthy Of n better fate, as che
undoubtedly is, else her generous heart
would not so run away with her iudg.
ment. The man who marries a woman
for her money had better kill her out
right, and take it. Indeed, that is what
a creature who makes q match with such
d motive would really like to do. He
wants the hard gold, not the sof. woman
who owns it, and he hates her because
he has TO take her also. Poor little
heiresgee, with such delightful fortunes;
poor little widows, with a snug little sum
settled on you by the husband that had
your comfort at heart, how much better
that you should be penniless women
sewing for your living Then come
strong, loving hand might gather you up
to tender heart, and you might be very
sure it was all for yourself all, every
bit Of IT, But now. nothing is left TO
you but loveless existence--a broken
life. All it's dangerous experiment
to endow some men with your earthly
goods, in place of being endowed 10y
them; and you pay the penalty of thus
revers ing the natural order of things.

Marriage 1fsdss Cafna.

4 Chinese woman spends her time At
home, and, if poor, works at the loom.
Ladies prepare embroidery, and are
fond Of CANDY dress. Girls get little or
no education, and boys arc sent 70
school. at an early age. Match.mAkers
are in much repute, as ladies are not al-
lowed TO make selection for them
selves. The marriage vow is said TO be
strictly observed on the female side,
but the same cannot be said OF the men.
A small foot and o pale complexion are
the tests Of beauty. Celibacy IS only
known to poor man who cannot buy
wife. All parents expect a dowry for
their daughters, TO repay them the o1-
pense Of bringing them up.
The suspicion of the Chinese charac-
ter is manifest even in their marriages
The wcdding-day being fixed on, the
bridegroom sends sedan (a particular
kind is made for this purpose). The
mother of the bride puts her in the
sedan, securely locks the door, and
sends the key to the moiher-in- Law. On
the arrival at the bridegroom's house.
his mother unlocks the door, and de.
livers her 10 her intended husband.
when both repair TO the chapel of the
idols where are kept the names of their
ancestors. In the outer temple they
bow themselves four times upon their
knees, and then enter the inner temple
where their parents are sitting; to whom
they make the same reverence. All
parties then retire to the bridegroom's
house, where a private room is set apart
for the bride, into which no male reIa-
tive can ever enter, not even the father
Of either parties. Should the father
have occasion TO chastise his son, which
is not uncommon, the con contrives TO
get into this private apartment. aud is
safe.
Marriage appears TO have been a
formal ceremony in use from the earliest
time. There are two kinds of marriage:
the first is called true marriage, and
lasts for the life of both parties, unless
causes of divorce can be shown, which
are numerous and trivial. The second
marriage Is permitted by the laws In
case they have no sons; these concu-
bines, OF second wives, are regularly
purchased from their parents, or some
other person who has brought them up
from childhood with that object. The
price obtained for an accomplished fe-
male is very considerable. AS soon a.
she brings forth > son she Is probably
parted with, and disposed'of to another;
the first wife takes the SON, and the real
mother never sees Il again. There i no
prohibition against widows marrying;
but the higher classes never do.

The Strange Life Of the King Of Bavaria

Writing Of the strange life led by
King Louis Of Bavaria, French paper
says: King Louis lives sad and soil
tary in his beautiful palaces, in his
Gothic castles, whose interior is trans
formed into wonderful rooms of the
eighteenth century. He has had sent
from Paris photographs Of the most
beautiful rooms of the time OF Louis
Nv. to have them copied at his own
palaces.
1t is astonishing that he is not mar.
ried. Perhaps he does not wish TO
leave to children his sad heritage. a
crown of which he is in nowise the
master. he reads with avidity the his.
torians who write Of the grandeur OF
Bavaria in the middle ages. 1t may
be that he has even written o mono
graph on the valiant Charles Albert,
crowned Emperor of Germany in 1742,
the legitimate sovereign of the empire,
sustained by France and conquered by
Maria Theresa. On the eve of Sadowa,
Maximilian died leaving the throne to
Louis IT., obliged to submit to the law
of the German conqueror. What he
deplores, this young king, is the de-
pcndence Of his country with his in,
ability TO recover it.
There are no feasis in his castles bnt
a great deal OF music, a music 10 which
he listens religiously behind the hang.
ings which hide him from all eyes.
They say that at the representations OF
Wagner's operas he wished first to ex,
tinguish all the lights so as to show the
scene in greater radiance.
The hing loves the country but de-
tests the day in his apartments. wher-
ever he lives he has the shutters closed
and the candelabra lighted at midday.
He always dimes alone, sumptuously
and absent-mindedly, a book beside
him in which he becomes so absorbed
that be forgets to eat and they take
away the dishes without his having
touched them. These singular rcpasts
often last for sssssF-s oF four hours. His
life is silence, solitude, night, study
and dreaming.
Tho king Is but thirty-flve, tall md
well formed, the blonde head having
