Eat Cattle At Fairs.

At a recent meeting of Kentish farmers
in England. Lord Harris said he wished to
know If the fattening of beasts as conduct
ed at the present day was a lucrative bust
ness to the farmer, because he could not
help thinking that this was time when the
pursuit of agriculture ought to be conduct
ed on very economical principles. When
at the cattle show that day, it SO happened
that as the fat cattle were being led around
the ring gentleman pointed out to him
very fine animal, of which he was the exhib
1tor. A person star ding near by said he
would like to know how much it had cost
him to fatten that beast. The exhibitor
made no reply, but held up his hands and
walked away. If Lord Harris should ever
happen to visit this country and attend any
of our cattle shows, he would find it just as
difficult to learn the cost of the fat on their
bones as he does in England. The cost is
seldom taken into account when our farm
ere are preparing stock or anything else for
the show. and this is just why so little prac-
teal information is to be obtained at our
great and expensive annual fairs.

Special Virtues Of Celery.

In clery there must be some special viz
tue, if we only knew what it is. Nothing is
made in vain, and the powerful smell and
extraordinary taste of celery are intimations
from nature that it has some special mission.
Mr. Ward, of Perriston Towers, Ross,
writes that rheumatism becomes impossible
if celery is freely used as an article of diet.
Unfortunately, he says cooked celery, for
it is the article in its raw state to which we
are all accustomed. "Cut the celery" he
says, Into inch dice. Boil in water until
soft. No water must be poured away unless
drunk by the invilid. Then take new milk,
slightly thicken with flour, and flavor with
nutmeg; VAIN with the celery in the sauce
pan; serve with diamonds of toasted bread
round the dish, and eat with potatoes.
Permit me to say" he adds, that cold or
damp never produces rheumatism, but SIM
ply develops it. The acid blood is the prim-
AIRY cause and the sustaining power of evil.
While the blood is alkaline there can be no
rheumatism and equally no govt. ~ And Mr..
Ward proceeds to say: Let me fearlessly
say that rheumatism is impossible on such
diet, and yet our medical men allowed rheu
matism to kill, in 1876, $500 human beings
every case as unnecessary as dirty face.

The PAY of Circus Performers.

A correspondent Of the Boston Herald, in
reporting talk with circus manager
writes:
In the memorandum book found that
the highest salary paid to any performer was
$3.50 week, and the loves. $40. There
were only two names in the entire list cred
tied with getting the smaller amount. The
biggest sum will be received by Nine. Dock
rilI. We advertise, said the manager,
that we pay her 81, 1000 week. I'll tell
you why. In addition to the $3.50, which is
set down there, we pay oil her travelling and
hotel expenses, and place at her disposal q
carriage in which she rides from hotel to
train and from circus to hotel. Besides
this, we~pay all the expenses of keeping and
transporting her six horses, and we employ
man to look after them. So, that she
really does cost us 500 every day of her
life: and 81 900 week is not much Of an
exaggeration after all. Chang gets 5000 o
week, and Tom Thumb, 1926. Mime. Cor
dova, the rider, receives 5000 for her SER
vices. The largest number Of the perform
ers seem to run, in point of salary, from $45
to $75 per week apiece. The laborers with

FrOude on Ireland,

James Anthony Froude, the historian,
has been making study of the Irish in
Ireland. He has little sympathy with the
sentimental aspects of the Irish grievances,
but he gives his judgement of the only way
of dealing with Ireland in these remarkable
terms:
We can govern India; we cannot govern
Ireland Be it so. Then let Ireland be
free. We cannot keep a people
chained to us to be perenially wretched be-
cause it is inconvenient for us to keep Or
der among them. In an independent Ire
land the ablest and strongest would come to
the front and the baser elements be crushed.
This, too is called impossible-yet,
if you will neither rule Ireland nor allow
the Irish to rule themselves, nature and
fact may tell us that, whether we will or no,
an experiment which has lasted for seven
hundred years shall be tried no longer.

GO SLOW.

When you pair of bright eyes meet,
That make your heart in rapture beat;
When one voice seems to you more sweet
Than any other voice you know.
Go slow, my friend, go slow;
For brightest eyes have oft betrayed,
And sweetest voice of youth and maid
The very falsest things have said,
And thereby wrought a deal of woe:
Go slow, my friend, go slow.
When you're convinced you are poet,
And wishing all the world to know it,
Call ON some editor to show 1t,
Your verses full of glow and " blow"
Go, slow, my friend, go slow;
For many a one has done the same,
And though, to grasp the hand of Fame,
And yet has never seen his name
In print And why-waste- baskets know:
IS Go slow, my friend, so slow.
When you to greed for money yield,
And long the mighty powr to WELD
That's always found i'll golden field,
With senseless pomp andpride and show,
Go slow, my friend, go slow;
For thousands. tempted by the glare
Of wealth, have fallen in the snare
Set for the thief And now despair,
Regret, and shame have brought them low:
Go slow, my friend, go slow.
The good old earth is never wrong;
Each of her works takes just so long;
Months pass before a happy throns
OF daises in the meadows grow;
Go slow, my friend, so slow.
And spring gives life to summers tow'rs,
And summers sun and summers show'rs
Prepare the fruit for autumn bow'rs,
And autumn frost brings winter snow:
Go slow. my friend, so slow.

Houses Warm and Cheap.

c. G. Bayley. Grant Co. Miss, in N. Y. Tribune.
Having erected balloon frame and ad-
justed the studding for the reception OF the
door and window frames, with a firm foun-
dalton, nail boards to the foot of the studs
outside and in, not driving the nails so that
they cannot be readily drawn, and fill in be-
tween the boards with mixture of one part
lime to sixteen parts of coarse gravel-the
mortar containing of course, no stones of
larger diameter than the width of the studs
or the space between the boards nailed to
them-and SO continue to do, mailing on
boards and filling in till night The next
morning the nails may be drawn, and the
boards raised and nailed on again if the
weather has been warm and dry, as the
mortar by that time will have set, SO as not
to need their support; if the weather has
been damp longer time will be required.
Continue in this way until height has been
reached equal at least to that of the first
story. Next nail strips of lath to the studs
on the outside, insert the door and window
frames, and proceed to side up the house.
A cheap, warm, and durable siding may be
made from first quality fencing, matched,
and nailed on with the tongues up.
Having sided the house, plaster, without
lathing, upon the wall, which by this time
have house with a space of about one
third of an inch between the stone and the
siding too narrow for MICE, filed with
dead air. The heat of the room during the
day, of course, warns the stone walls,
about four inches thick, and the warmth is
retained during the night, the dead air pre-
venting the escape of the heat have test
ed the above. in the house in which / now
live, for about ten years, during which We
have kept no fires nights, and have found
no frost gathered upon the wall, even in the
coolest weather, except white specks upon
the heads of the nails driven into the base
or mop board. AS the morter can be mixed
and filed in by the cheapest kind of help
the extra cost above that of an ordinary bal
loon frame house will not much exceed
what is saved in the expense of lathing, ant
this is richly repaid by the increased com
fort of the occupants of such house.-LC

CALABASH SAM.
How Distinguished Citizen of Deadwood Re-

How Distinguished Citizen of Deadw0od Re-
ceived the Resolution Of Public Meeting.
From the Detroit Free Press.
Three months ago, when 200 of the lead
ing citizens of Gunnison City met in con-
vention on street corner, there were seven
or eight Michigan men among the crowd.
When Col Parker presented the following
resolution it was Michigan man who sup

RESOLVED, That committee of FIVE be
appointed to wait upon Calabash Sam, late
Of Deadwood, and inform him that after
sunrise to- morrow morning this crowd will
omen fire on him with the intention of fur
nishing corpse for our new graveyard.
The committee of five went out to find
Samuel and deliver their message. He sat
on a bench at the door of his shanty, shot
gun across his knees and pipe in his
mouth, and he. preserved silence while the
Chairman of the Committee read the reso-
luton, then he asked:

Substituting Irvine for Wire.

Many manufacturers of reaping machines
are trying to substitute Irvine for wire in
binding sheaves of wheat and other cereals.
In addition to the fact that royalty has to
be paid on the patent for binding with wire
automatically, the use Of wire is alleged to
be Objectionable for the following among
other reasons: When it gets into the
thresher it breaks the teeth and renders the
machine useless; small pieces of wire with
needle like points attach themselves to the
straw and have pierced the intestines OF
animals that have eaten Of the straw,
causing their death; several fires in mills
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1881-02-17

have been attributed to sparks thrown off
by the contact of the milstone with the
wire; when the straw is used to make paper
the pulp has been rendered useless by the
presence of particles of wire, and large
magnets have been required to eliminate
them. 1t is estimated that farmers Eill re-
quire on an average 200 pounds of hemp or
flax Irvine, the cost of which would be
about $40, or one-half the cost
of wire. To bind wheat would
require three feet of Irvine to sheaf, 100
feet to bushel of grain, or for the whole
crop raised last year in the United States,
so, 900 tons of hemp, which could be made
into cord long enough to girdle the earth
ten times. 1t is suggested that If Irvine
came into general use as binder, the farm
ers, especially in Kentucky and Missouri,
who have been raising hemp and flax prin-
cipally for the seed, would be able to dis
pose of the stocks also. There are now ten
factories in this country devoted to the
making of Irvine, but their capacity is less
than the amount of Irvine that would be re-
quired for the full crop of wheat.
