"SeYera Editing, y

Perhaps no pleasure in life EQUALS that
which is felt by the apprentice when
his years of service hang at an end,
ami he becomes free man, working g
on his own account. Hitherto he has
had to carry out the ideas of others, or
at least to submit his own to the critical
judgment of his master; and that crit
ical Judgment was sure to go against
the things which most delighted him
self, which seemed to him the best of
all, and of which he was proud as in
tellectual feathers in his as yet un-
plumed cap. How much we have all
suffered in our days of apprenticeship
when we have been severely edited"
and mercilessly pruned and weeded.
That grand array of adjectives-that
superb army of metaphors-that bat
talon of illustrations-all ruthlessly
cut out; whereby to our excited fancy
the whole thing lost its color, its point,
its strength, and was reduced to the
mere ghost of itself-a shadowy spec
tire not worth the trouble of housing.
And what exquisite joy it was, in the
sense of freedom, when we zcame out
of that time of repression and control,
and ran free on our own fields! Look
ing back now, we can see how much
good the ''severe editing" of the mat
ter did us. 1t was not pleasant while
it lasted, but it was eminently useful,
and saved us from folly then while CIV
ing us lesson of good service even
now. Still. the delight of running free
in our first book, say after the appren-
ticeship of newspaper writing, was
very great and very vivid; and we re-
member to the end of our lives what
we felt then.

Feeding Cows in Milk.

1t seems extraordinary that the gen.
eral run of dairy-farmers make no eff
fort to flesh their COWS before they sell
them. Every autumn there are more
or fewer draft COWS for sale, to make
room for the young ones that are reared,
and they have to 60 for what they hap
pen to be worth before winter comes
on. They are of course just the cows
the farmer has no wish to keep, or, at
all events, the least desirable ones in
the herd. Commonly, they are sold for
fault, that of age. or of being inferior
mixers. or of having "a screw lOose'
somewhere; and these very faults. sup
posing they exist-and buyers always
act on the assumption that they do ex-
ist-make it more imperative that there
should be condition to help the sale. II
the COW is in good condition in the
autumn, it is painaa tdcte evidence of
q good constitution. and that is an inn
portant point to make clear when a
man has an animal to sell. In any
case she commands a customer almost
at the sellers own price. A lean COW
is not a nice thing to face winter with;
and, however good an animal she may
be except for the leanness. she brings
an inferior price. We have frequently
known really desirable cattle sold at Il
sacrifice off their merits just because
their owners had let them fall out IF
condition in n wet dashing autumn;
whereas little extra keep. and shelter
from the storms, both of which would
have been repaid in the extra milk,
would have added pounds sterling per
head to their selling value.
Yet farmers go on year after year in
the same practices, neglecting to give
their cattle some dry stimulating food
when the grass begins to wane on the
pastures. giving them instead some
sort of green food to force all the milk.
The result is that. having no really
nourishing food, and being exposed to
whatever weather may come, they lose
flesh quickly. and SO are worth less
money. As the weather grows colder
the grasses lose a good deal of their
nutritive properties, and it is not to be
expected that milk-giving animal can
keep up her flesh under such conditions.
The best dairy farmers we knOw-small
farmers as we'll as large ones-never
let their cows out of condition at any
time of the year, and especially those
of them they intend to SELL They do
not have faith in selling anything lean,
at a lean price. 1t is condition they
aim to sell, and not mere bag of
bones. An animated skeleton is a
fright in the market, and you never
find a farmer worth the name shocking
his neighbors that way.

The Oominr Transit of Venus.


The next transit of Venus over the
sum 8 surface will occur on the 9th day
of December, 1882, the last one having
occurred Dec. 9, 1874. At that time
extensive preparations had been made
all over the world, and expeditions
were sent to the most distant parts of
Africa and America a in order to test
fully the improved instruments which
the ingenuity of modern scientists have
devised. On this account the transit of
the coming year is doubly important,
first, because all questions which the
application of new instruments gave
rise to, all miscalculations or individual
differences of observation among the
astronomers who took part, will be
verified and set at rest; and, secondly,
because another transit of the kind will
not take place for a period of 120 years,
when the most incipient astronomers of
our day will have been forgotten.
The question which is still left in
doubt. and which the transit of 1882
can go far toward settling, is the exact
distance from the sun to the earth-an
uncertainty which at present hinders
all exact calculations concerning the
magnitude of the whole solar system.
The first transit of Venus which were
observed were those of 1851 and 1859,
neither of which contributed anything
to science. That of 1851. the next in
order, gave no valuable data, and its
successor from 1869, although it elected
much serious attention, left the precise
value of the parallax in doubt even at
the time of the last observations on
Dec. 9. 1874.
Then the event attracted universal
attention, scientific observations were
made at various points as far north an d
south as possible. and many valuable
data were collected, which await the
only positive proof that can be given
them during this or the coming century.
For the following year still more ex-
tensive preparations are making, and
there is every prospect now that the
scientific results then to be obtained
will settle all matters now in dispute
or doubt.

Making Kid Gloves.


The Troy On. W Times gives de-
scription of glove manufacture in a
town near Troy as follows:
In this factory nearly all the stock
used is imported from France. The
skins on arriving at the factory arc first
put through the process of shaving"
which is done with q broad chisel, and
all the imperfect parts of the leather
are cut off. The skins are then taken
to the table cutting-room, where thirty
cutters are employed in cutting the
skins into oblong pieces, after which
they are sent to the Sitting room,
where the fingers are cut and the gloves
are ready for the sewing machines.
Thence we follow them to the making
room, where ninety steam sewing ma
chimes, run by women, are kept busy
stitching the seams, and twenty other
women are engaged working button-
holes and putting on buttons. the
gloves are now ready for the 'laying-
OFF, room. where number of long
hollow forms, like outstretched hands,
arc stood upright from a table. If one
were in need of good warm shake of
the hand, he would be accommodated
here, for each of these hollow forms is
filled with steam, and gives the gloves
that peculiar shape they have before
being worn. Another room is the
''sorting ROOM" where the various col
ors and sizes are sorted and fitted for
the market. In the stitching process is
a peculiar sewing-machine which does
the beautiful overstitching of the
seams. In this factory over 200 hands
are employed and about seventy-five
dozen pairs OF gloves maie daily. The
glove cutters average from SO to 500
per month in wages, and the makers
(women) from $50 to $40 per month.
A beautiful glove is now being made
called the mosquctaire. from imported
mocha skins, but dressed in the village.
which is better than any imported
glove, and the day seems to be coming
when American gloves will be known
as the superior to all other makes. The
skins used will cut on the average
about two pairs of gloves.

Brvant's Dimdence,

Once we talked of diffident persons !;
he thought "this might be classed with
the trials of life," and said that with
him this feeling amounted to bashful-
ness. Often he had gone to church
and would feel SO difiident before he
entered that he could not get up cour-
age enough to do it. and would come
away. And sometimes as he was led
TO q seat there, would find himself in
such an agitation that drops of perspira-
tion would fall from his face.
This is strange" l said, "for you,
who have been welcomed all over the
world, met so many persons, been SO
honored, so loved, how is it possibleP"
He replied: at is temperament.

often bring on this distress" '.How
about your writings P' .'Well. with
them I write and re-write and cast
aside so much and have such sense of
their lack of excellence" 1 think this
modcsty shows in his pictures. Often
in his later years he would send me
card with his likeness. Once he writes:

The Boston Common onvealM says that
for the first time in twelve years the re-
ceipts from taxes levied in that city in
1880 were in excess of the requirements
for the financial year, and that this was
due to an unusually heavy rate of tax
alton and to very prompt payment of
taxes. This year QSSD there is an in-
creased valuation, and there will be an
increase of appropriations with small
reduction in the rate of taxation.
