4 the labors of the day are over; but it
is to be remarked that the Tamil labor
er works throughout the day without
rest or food. What he wants in the
morning he takes before 6. and then
wants nothing till he goes home at 4 to
cook his rice and curry. Theseme live
in little villages on the plantations,
which are called coolie lines aud at no
great distance, on the nearest high road,
there is always coolie bazaar, in which
the Tamil laborers make their purchases.

Able to Support Themselves.

The imperial family of Germany is
quite able to support itself. If the Crown
Prince were deprived of his inheritance
he could easily win bread and butter by
his skill as turner; while his eldest son,
Prince Wilhelm, is an excellent amateur
artisan. On the Emperor's cabinet are
several samples of his dead grandson
Waldemar's proficiency as bookbinder.
This acquisition of trade is in accord
ance with the Evolutionary customs in
the royal family, which prescribe that
every Prince of the blood shall learn
some useful handicraft, so as to strength
en- his spirit of independence and make
him wise through actual contact with
the material world

How an Enthusiastic Dog Was Rebuked
by Parrot.

A gentleman living near this village,
says the Port Jervis Union, has parrot
who knowns good deal more than the
law allows. A friend of his, whose name
we withhold for obvious reasons, called
at his house one day. A valuable young
dog, pointer, was with him. The two
gentlemen sat on the porch smoking,
and the parrot, which is very tame, was
seated in an interstice in the trellis about
the porch. The dog was lying OH the
floor at his masters feet and finally his
attention was called to the bird, which
was looking steadily at him. The dog
sprang up, drew on the parrot and
fastened. There he stood, still as q
statue, for full three minutes, when the
parrot, with contemptuous firt of his
feathers, screamed at him, go home,
you cussed fooll'' The dog dropped tail
and ears, wheeled round and struck a
Decline over the fields for home. Since
that time he has refused to point bird.

his opinion about the comparative merits
OF the British and Chinese systems of

that while the English greatly excelled
in mental training and the variety of
knowledge impaired, the superiority ii
moral instruction certainly rested with
the Chinese. His statement reminds one

HOrse-Stable Floors.

The long-debated question as to the
best material for stable.foors is being
again revived. A clay floor was ad-
hered to by some for years, and such
was the earnestness of its advocates
and the many arguments brought to
bear upon it that we were induced some
twenty years ago to try it. In three or
four months we had. the planks back
again, being satisfied of the disadvant-
ages Of clay for this purpose Our pres
ent floor of plank is simply inclined
little from front to rear, where the usual
gutter is made to carry off the liquid
voidings. We do not believe in sand,
coalashes, sawdust, asphaltum, flags,
cObble-stOnes, or any of these modern
devices to injure horses. Thus far we
have never noticed that this little in
clination was in any way injurious; and
we doubt whether the wooden grating
that we frequently see placed over the
planking that some use would be ad-
visable on the ground that the animal
would be no more comfortable, while
this movable grating or second floor
might lead to accidents. When per-
son can keep horses in good, sound,
healthy condition for five or seven years,
as we have done, on a carefully-con-
structed plank flooring, inclining little
to the rear, it is just as well to be salts
fed with it. Do what one will, holes
will be dug by the stamping of the feet
in the clay, and these will be filled with
moisture, which will necessarily result
in scratches, quarter-crack etc. If the
clay is leveled off and beaten down
daily, it will make no difference. Some
time ago we inspected number of sta
bles where many horses were kept, and
we encountered only one which was
composed of anything but wood. OF
course there will be new things-inyen-
tions- ns-springing up, which are to meet
and overcome every objection, and
there will be some to adopt them, but
we shall be satisfied with what we have
until there is something produced about
which there will be no mistake.-Ger.

Lord Coleridge on Breach Of Promise

In summing up in an action for breach
of promise of marriage, at Liverpool
recently, Lord Chief Justice Coleridge,
alluding to some remarks as to the ex-
pediency of this class of action, said that
what might be the enlightened conclu-
sion of Parliament on the question he
did not know. Parliament might think
fit to abolish breach of promise as a
ground of action, but it was much to be
considered before that consummation
was arrived at whether in certain ranks
of life women would have any protection
against the misconduct of men. 1t was
too much forgotten that these actions
were often extremely useful in keeping
people within the bounds of duty, which,
if there were not such laws, they would
avoid. 1t very often happened that a
woman gave up, honestly and affection
ately, the best years of her life TO par
ticular man, and put aside all thoughts
of marrying any one else. When that
man dishonesty and illegally broke his
contract with her, the only compensa-
ton she could obtain for the wrong done
to her was to seek heavy and substantial
damages in a court Of law.-London
Times.

Wool-Growing in Texas.

A San Antonio letter says: The largest
sheen ranch in Texas and one OF the
largest, if not the largest, i'll the United
States is what is known as the Charley
Callaohan ranch in Encinal County. l
don't know the exact number of sheep
on this ranch at the present time, but It
must be between 5000 and 100000
head. 1t was founded 10y Charles Gala
CHAN with nothing, and before he died
he and his partner, Mr.. c. M. Macdon-
mel, of Laredo, had upward OF $4,000
head of sheep and several hundred
thousand acres of land. On his death
his portion fell to couple of nephews-
one of whom, Mr.. Charles Star, is now
snperintendent of the ranch and is sue
cessfully carrying on the lucrative busi-
ness begun by his uncle. There are
probably more than twenty-five ranches
in this State on which there are more
than %, 900 head of sheep. AS an indi-
cation of the increase of this business in
Texas, you can look to the amount of
wool shipped. The wool trade OF San
Antonio has more than doubled itself In
the last two years. From fair calcu-
lation it is estimated that the shipments
have amounted to over ,000, 900 pounds.
and there is yet in store about 100000
pounds, making an aggregate OF 4,5OO,-
600 pounds of wool handled here the
spring season just past. Add to that
1000, 900 to be handled the coming fall,
and we have S,500,000 pounds Of wool
handled in San Antonio in 1881. Only
three or four years ago 100000 pounds
of wool was an incomprehensible guam
tity in the experience of the wool-buyer
of San Antonio. What will be the wool
trade of this city few years hence! /!
The sheep business in Texas is actually
only in its infancy. Ten years from
now men will laugh at our boast OF to,
day. San Antonio is not the only wool
market, and, in fact, it is not the first,
as Corpus Christi takes that rank, and
much wool is handled in Austin, Waco,
Fort Worth, Abeline and other points
in the State. Looking at it in this light,
am 1 not right in saying that wool
growing is one of the most important
and rapidly growing industries I'M Texas,
