The Progress of Newspapers.

Wendell Phillips, in lecture de-
livered in New York, cited some
striking facts to show how wonder
full has been the advance in journal
ism of late years. When the battle
of Waterloo took place, the London
Times devoted only one-third of n
column to a description of it; where
as full-page history of the recent
Ute massacre of ten persons in Cali
fornia was given to the readers OF
our great dailies. Mr.. Phillips could
find no detailed account in any of
the files of the Boston papers for
1885, of the mobbing OF William
Lloyd Garrison, which occurred in
that year, and was an event (which

The Yough Valley

The valley fthe Upper Yough,
from the confluence of the Yough,
Casselman rivers and Laurel Hill
creek, at this point, up into the
States of Maryland and West Vir-
ginia, comprises one of the finest
mineral and coal districts within
easy reach from any point along the
Pittsburgh division of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad. Some sixty
years ago a furnace and forge was
built at a point about fifteen miles
distant from this place, known as
Bear Greek Furnace, and was oper-
ated for period of at least twenty
years, and superior iron was manu-
factured and in large quantities, but
the work was finally compelled to
close down owing to the cost of
transporting the iron to market. it
having to be hauled overland to
Brownsville, Pa, and from thence by
the river. This furnace could not
have been operated at all, only for
the superior advantages of manu-
featuring cheap. Since the aban-
donment of the works better and
more valuable ores. have been dis
covered in lerge quantity. The
Upper Yough from this point for
twenty miles is the smoothest and
most beautiful mountain stream in
Western Pennsylvania. About three
dams would slack the river into the
mining regions. - Pittsburgh Times.

AIderDy Cattle

Alderney cattle are cattle bred
in the Alderney Islands. There are
number of these islands, all small.
The largest one is called Alderney
and gives the name to the group.
The next best known one is Jersey
smaller in extent than Alderney
and is the home of the Jersey COW.
Then there is Guernsey, the island
from which the Guernsey cow comes.
The latter is a rather larger animal
than the Jersey, not SO elegant in
shape and style, and of a yellow
and whith color. The Jersey is us
ually a darker colored animal,
sometimes nearly black, but grading
up from this very dark color to a
fawn or grayish yellow. The Guern-
seys as class are the largest milk
ers, but the Jersey gives the richest
milk. The term Alderney or Chan
mel Islands cattle is comprehen-
sive term which includes both Jer-
seys and Guernseys. 1t will be well
enough TO remember this, and thus
avoid mistakes and misapprehen-
sions.

Human Pendulum.

Bernard Koehler and Fritz His
gen, two house painters, yesterday
began painting the large house at
Belts street and Central avenue.
Three o'clock in the afternoon found
them close up under the caves of the
house and sixty-five feet from the
ground. They had just finished the
surface within reach and had start
ed to lower the scafiold a few feet
When the required distance had
been reachedlHisgen called to his
partner to hang on to the rope until
he (Hisgen) tied his own, when he
would come over and perform a like
service for him. Hisgen had just
completed his own knot when Loeh-
ler cried out: "Come over quick, |
can't hold it." Hisgen, quickly
started across the aeriel bridge, but
had not gone two steps when he saw
the man let go his hold and felt the
ladder give way under his feet. As
he began the fall, in the energy of
desperation he with both hands
grasped the almost smooth top of
the tourth-story window cornice and
there hung in the air, a distance Of
sixty feet from the pavement. He
then gave an exhibition of nerve
that terrified every one who saw it.
Placing the toe of one boot against
the window frame he gave his body
a slight pendulum molten away
from the house. A second push
gave him better impetus and as he
swung on the return toward the
window he released his hold and
went crashing through the glass
safely to the floor of the fourth-story
room, from whence he Immediately
looked out through the aperture he
had made to see what had become
of his companion. Koehler had not
been quite SO fortunate. AS he
went shooting through the air he
caught the hanging rope with both
hands and lessened his speed all
the way down at the expense of all
the cuticle of his palms, which was
burned off by the friction. He
landed in sitting posture on the
sidewalk and was taken to the hos
pital with pair of very sore hips.

Training a Colt.

Bad horses are more frequently
made than born. 1t is very much
in the bringing up-in the way the
colt is cared for, and the manner in
which it is broken. Firmness with
kindness go very far in making a
valuable horse. The colt should
early learn that it is never to be de-
ceived that it is to be encouraged
and rewarded when obedient, and
punished by Withholding of caresses
when disobedient. The same ma
tural qualities that make a horse
vicious, will, with proper treatment,
make one of those intelligent and
spirited horses that all desire to
possess. The true trainer of colts is
gentle, loving, firm, and thoughtful
and the young animals under his
charge partake much in the same
qualities. Agric,dtwdlis.

Tree Planting.

This is subject that cannot be
too often referred to as the season
comes when the werk should be
done. Owing TO the backwardness
of the present season, tree planting
may be done vet for week or two.
Spring has its advantages over the
fall for this work, though fall also
possesses its advantages. As rule,
better success attends spring plant
ing; but the hurry of work is so
much greater than in the fall, that
it is sometimes overlooked, while
fall admits of more leisure. For
transplanting large trees the fall is
always to be preferred, and the
transfer should be made as soon as
the tree for the season is done grow
ing, which is readily seen by the
turning of the leaves. La the fall
especially, the trees should be firm
ly staked TO prevent them from be-
ing disturbed and admitting down
the stem too much water. The se-
curity can be assisted by hilling up
the soil around the stem, thus furn-
ing off the water. Ia the spring
this can be removed and a little
basin formed to catch the rains
through the heated term. By set
ting trees out early in the fall it
gives the roots a chance to take some
hold and establish themselves, so
that when the spring opens the tree
can 60 right on growing.
In setting trees at any time,
large hole should be dug, the soil at
the bottom ioosened and the roots
spread out carefully with the hand
as nearly in the way they naturally
grow as possible. If the roots are
very long and numerous they should
be pruned and at the same time
the top of the tree should also be
pruned to somewhat more than the
same extent. Frequently the roots
are broken off and bruised in lifting,
and when this is the case the injur-
ed portion should be cut off and the
tops also correspondingly. Mulch
ing should be applied the first sea-
son, being changed two or three
times. and at each time, or oftener,
the ground around the trees should
be carefully stirred. All newly
transplanted trees should be staked,
and to do this properly two stakes
should be used, standing them at ar
angle like the letter a, and the stem
to protect as not to be abraded or
rubbed.-Germantoacn Telegraph.

The Ear.

The internal ear, says the Youths
Companion, is an exceedingly deli
cate and complicated organ, and is
therefore especially susceptible to
disturbing influences. Hence ear

hard of hearing bursting of the
drum, causing deafness /; and gath
crings within the ear of solid plugs
Of wax. The close connection of
the ear with the brain very often re-
suits in an extension of an inaa-
nation from the former to the lat
ter.
Ear troubles begin early. The
child is inclined to put small things
into it-such as beans, cofiee-ker-
nels, pebbles, etc. These. if they
have been unnoticed, irritate and in
fame and may become sources Of
most serious mischief. Older per-
sons are hardly wiser who pick their
ears with pins.
The ear should be let alone--ex-
cept in cases when removed by an
expert physician. 1t is needed
where it is, to prevent the ingress of
small insects and dust. 1t COM
monty takes care Of itself
The bather too often does himself
serious mischief by allowing water
to enter the ear. Thousands of bad
cases occur yearly from this cause.
The trouble is increased ifthe water
is salt, as its absorption leaves hard,
irritating crystals behind. One should
never dive and the onset of the
surf should be received at the back.
In the winter, the steady blowing
Of q strong current of air upon the
ear is dangerous. The cold air pen
etrates to the blood warm interior,
congesting and inilamins it, 1t is
not always easy to avoid such a cur

likely to be exposed, to wear in the
external ear a pledget of cotton. A
little care may save you from excru
ciating pain and permanent harm.

Kleptomauiacs.

An employer in a large establish
ment in New York said to a report
er: The romances of searcher in
a big store would startle the public
| if they would be told. The extent
to which Kleptomania, or whatever
else it may be called, is carried is
absolutely incredible. Among its
practicers are numbered some of the
foremost people OF the city. Aeon
firmed klel,tomaniac is the wife OF a
man worth millions, and last win
ter one of the greatest bellies in New
York society was stopped ina Sixth
avenue store with $50 worth of lace
in her possession. These people
are never exposed except by acci-
dent. Their plunder is taken from
them, and they are warned thatarepe-
tition of their act will lead TO their
arrest, and sent off. Those who are
arrested are either professional
shoplifters or suspected by the
watchers and detectives as such.
You can scarcely be mistaken in
deciding their character. The shop
litter goes ont provided with i'm
mense pockets 10 stow her plunder
in and an ample cloak or wrap of
some sort to cover it. The klepto-
maniac, on the contrary, makes no
such preparations. She steals when
the humor strikes her, and hides
what she has stolen as cunningly
as she can without any artificial
means of concealment.
Male as well as female kleptoma-
MACS haunt our stores, and some
male shoplifters operate in them.
A new fashion in store stealing is
for male and female thief to oper-
ate together. Two of the cleverest
shoplifters in the country are an
Englishman and a French woman,
who travel together. He has the
look of a superlatively elegant swell
dresses in perfect taste and puts on
more airs than drummer. His
companion is one of the prettiest
and most lady-like women | ever
saw. You would never take them
to he anything but hieh-toned
married couple. Yet they are the
most dangerous criminals of their
kind | ever met with. They are
now in San Francisco. We ran
them out of New York last winter,
and they operated in Philadelphia
and Chicago until things became too
hot for them there. I suppose we'll
hear of them in Australia next 1t
is getting to be fashionable to make
trips around the world you know.

lots about the city, and there are lots
of them.
The goat is omnivorous he will
goat anything he sees, and he will
seize anything that he may goat.

In the matter of mere cash, the
Cashmere goat is the most famous.

called a goatee, though not confined
to goat.
The goat is noted for its bunting,
but he never flags.
The goat is one of the signs of the
zodiac, signifiing that he has a pro-
pensity to knock things sky high.
Shakespeare understood the sponta-
neity of the goat when he said
Stand not upon the order of your
going, but goat at once.
The goat is wide awake animal.
He is never caught mapping, not
withstanding the many cases of kid
mapping you read about.
For many years the goat was the
only butter known.
Goats love to get on a high rock
