Halter breaking.

Any one conversant with the handling of
domestic animals knows that they have an
innate propensity to pull back. They 60
astray in obstinacy as soon as they are born,
and unless the tendency is earlv overcome,
the habit is confirmed. Hence halter-break-
ing them as it is called, is considered one of
their first and most important lessons. But
il sometimes happens that the early training
Of an animal is neglected, and then the man
can show himself superior to the BRUTE A
young Dane in the employ Of Western far
mer, was observed leading two refractory
cows, with As little trouble a. il they we're
well broken horses. Oa closer observation,
it was observed that he had made haIf-hitch
around one ear Of each COW in the rope hal
ter with which he was leading them. This
may seem simple idea. bnt is it not worth
something! 1t is certainly great deal bet
ter than to punish an animal, or oppose OBJ
stinancy by obstinancy. Now IL the time for
taking cows to their summer pastures, and
good time to try il. Please remember, that
no one il fit to train an animal till he can
govern himself and that the best way 70 man

The Gar has turned over a new leaf in
his political lessons. Instead Of intrenchng
himself with impregnable castles, with triple
cordons of Cossack guards, he appeared in
the streets of st. Petersburg the other dav,
and witnessed a review in the Champ de
Mars, unattended by the Cossaeks and with
out any dcmonstratvc guardianship. His
Majesty was well received by the people, and
the confidence thus displayed by the crowned
head may be received as the best assurance
to the citizens that by comprehensive reforms
he means to deserve it.

Milliners intend to have their rights even
though others of their sex submit to injustice
and to make even newspapers respect these
rights. An Illinois editor. in rash hour,
ventured to criticse the styles Of spring bon
nets worn in the town where he has put out
the sign, 'IIere shall the press the peoples
rights maintain" and audaciously declared
that the local milliners had no taste That
evening there was a council of war and an
active campaign was decided upon. A de-
tachment moved upon the enemy's works at
daybreak the next morning. and taken by
surprise the place was carried by storm One
of the mIliners. champion of the guild, gave
eclat to the victory by cowhiding the obnox-
ious editor as a warning to all male journal
lists that there is one department of art "a
cred from the intrusion Of their profane
pens.

The Philadelphia Press says: 1t is no.
ticeable that modern public sentiment is in
favor of newspapers so far as the law of libel
is concerned. The old legal maxim of the
greater the truth the greater the libel has
nearly lost its force This State has the
honor of having a liberal Constitutional pro-
vision on the subject. and other States have
been and are falling rapidly into line. Even
in England the need of n new law has made
itself felt owing to the vast number of suits
without any equitable basis. which have been
brought by rascals against the newspapers
which have exposed them. The British al
herence to precedent and reluctance to
change existing laws ls carried to an extreme
by Parliament, which has nov before it a
bill protecting newspapers from wanton sc-
tions for libel in the exercise of their public
functions. 1t ia sign Of the times that this
bill has passed it, second reading without
any objection. and that it will, in all proba-
bility, pass without provoking comment. so
strongly is the need nf such Law felt The
truth is that no reputable newspaper can af-
ford to publish libel. and the people real
ize that the publication of the truth about
frauds snd swinders of all sorts is necessary
for public protection, as has been proved
over and over again in this State.

The Wheat Crop.

Chicago, April 20-Reports collected
within ten days from every county in
Kansas regarding the crops show that
on the whole the winter wheat crop is
In excellent eondition-better than usual
at this season. Everything depends on
rain The past few days have been ex-
ceedingly hot and windy, aud in some
places the dirt has been blown so as to
expose the roots of the wheat to the
scorching sun. But little damage has
been done as yet, but good warm rain
would be of incalculable benefit The
farmers say that with favorable weather
the crop will be the largest ever har.
vested in Kansas. The spring wheat
crop appears to be in unfavorable con.
dition. In seventeen counties it's con.
dition is fair and in forty.three It is
a poor crop and little confidence is felt
in it. The aggregate acreage of rye is
rather limited. The reports as whole
are qnile favorable.
