What is beauty? The question evokes no
answer of certain sound. The artists who
may be supposed to have given some
thought to it are by no means clear upon
the subject. Even the old worshipers of
Venus adored her under numerous surnames,
because of varying attributes and for mani
fold reasons. In what does beauty chiefly
consist? In face, in figure, in color, or in
expression? ARK fOrmie facies. THE face,
it is, that commonly denominates fair or

And that is quite the modern view of the

Opening a Grave to Get a Ring.

The wife of William Shields, of this vicin-

history. 1t was bought by her grandfather
in England and previous to his marriage.
He had inscribed on the inside of the ring
the words Il love my choice" and pre-
scented it to his wife as a wedding present. 1t
was worn by the young bride during her
short welded life of six years, when she
died, and by request of her husband the
ring was not taken from her finger when she
was buried. After the body had been buried
seventy years the grave was opened, the ring
taken out and given to the daughter of the
deceased, who recently sent it TO her daugh-

TMoTHY FOE DAIRY MEADows-One
OF our principal meadow grasses is tim
othy, n this forms q tuber or bulb
Just above the surface of the ground,
and Is injured or destroyed when this
bulb Is cut or eaten off. Pasturing
meadows of this grass is likely greatly
to iniure these. bulbs, and this explains
the serious injury that occurs when these
meadows are pastured in the fall. Gut
ting too close with moving machines
often Injuries it. Timothy is, perchance,
the most valuable meadow grass, as
with proper attention, it will easily con-
tinue ten years in succession to yield
large crops. If our meadows consisted
OF Kentucky blue grass, wire grass,
orchard grass, red-top, etc., p~asturing
would not be fatal, although not advisa-
BILE except on alluvial or ~overfowed land.
But let us see what the real value Of
the aftermath of timothy meadow is
worth. Take the case mentioned of sew.
enty.ive acres pastured. Four cents
worth Of wheat middlings and corn meal
per day to each COW, would have pro-
duced more milk and left the COWS in
better condition, during the five or six
weeks that they are SLOWED to run a
portion of the day upon the meadows.
This would have cost at most, only about
81 go per head, whilst the damage to
the meadow was at least ten times as
much. Meadows require generous at
t%ention, should be top-dressd with stable
manure in the fall, instead of pasturing
them, and when this cannot be had,
should be top-dressed with some COM
mercial fertilizer every few years, and
thus kept in full production, and your
dairyfull fed through the winter.-Na-

How Salmon Are Caught.

Salmon are caught by what is called
"the fishing wheel" This device con-
sists of a jetty of rocks built outfrom a
point on the shore of the river, outside
of which is a planked sluice-way, in
which an .undershot wheel with large
tank buckets revolves. The ~sluice-way
was built when the river was ct its low
est stage of water, and the wheel is hung
80 that it can be raised or lowered, as
may be desired, according to stage of
water. The instinct of the salmon is to
run up the river alongside of the banks
instead of mid-channel. By this the
fish can take advantage of the eddies
below jutting points of land. On these
projecting points the Indians have been
from time immemorial taking salmon in
large numbers by using dip-nets. The
jetty built out from the point above
named makes a larger and longer slack
water behind it, and the salmon round
ing the psint rush into the sluice-way to
get up the river. In the sluice-way the
wheel, which ~revolves in, the current, is
gagged 30 as to sweep within a foot of
the bottom. and the salmon are scooped
mp in the tanks or buckets, which latter
let ont the water as they ascend. On
the wheel descending the fish are thrown
out into a through or gutter, leading to
q pen below, where they remain until
taken away to be canned. The arrange
ment of the sluice-wheel, etc., is a most
successful one, the catch of the adult
salmon, which are the only ones canned,
running from 1900 to. 1000 per day.
There is virtually no expense in taking
the fish save attending to the pen.

A Conductors Printing Office.

It appears that German railway con-
ductors are made happy by the addition
to their equipment of a paper-mill and
printing office, the invention of Berlin
engineer, to be hung around the neck,
which, according to an exchange, is to
completely manufacture passenger tick
cts before the eyes of the wondering
public. The apparatus is said to be
somewhat complicated in construction,
but its manipulation is As simple as its
working is correct, for, should the OPP
orator not proceed in the way required
by the mechanism, it will not print all
the figures and words wanted, but the
word "Falsch" (wrong) in the place
where the fault was committed. At the
same time this portable printer checks
the number OF tickets issued, SO that at
any given moment the money in the
hands of the conductor can be compared
with the value of the tickets printed
and taken.
