Pitchery-bidgery is the native name of plant
Indigenous to northern Australia sort of
stunted shrub from three to four inches in
height when full grown, and bearing bios
SONS of waxy texture, white in color and
fiecked with pink spots. The flowers are
picked in the month of August, dried, packed
tightly in canvas bags, and then subjected
to a high degree of pressure, which
imparts to them the consistency of cake to-
bacco. By chewing small plug of this sub

One of the difficulties which beset dis
charged convicts who wish to lead honorable
lives is blackmailing by men who were in
prison with them: Not long since an ex-
convict committed suicide after paying hush
money for years and living in dread lest his
employers should find out his past history.
A California convict, whose history has just
been given to the world, took different and
wiser course. Former associates threatened
him if he did not comply with their demands.
At this time the reformed man was engaged
by large firm and was lucratiyely at work.
Twice in succession he knocked down one of
his prosecutors, and then he was troubled no
more. He saved himself by his determine
ten and is prospecting, when by yielding he
would have been involved in hopeless con-
test.

The death, near Malvern Hill, Va,
of Nathan Enroughty is likely to revive
the question, often discussed, but never
satisfactorily answered, why the name
of numerous family should have
been, for at least a centSry, universally
spelled Enroughty and universally pro
nOuuced Darby. The members of the
family themselves follow this strange
perversion, always writing their name
one way and pronouncing it the other,
but can give no explanation of its
origin. Nathan Enroughty, who h 5
just died at great age-from 80 to
100 years-was a soldier in the war of
1912, and a pensioner of the govern
ment. He was famous, even beyond
middle life, for his strength, activity,
and endurance, and it it is said that no
prudent man ever ventured to try con-
clusions with him when natures wea-
pons were the only ones to be employed,
For eleven years, however, blindnes
had kept him in hateful inactivity.

Washington Society In 1925.

The circle of what was termed good
society" at Washington had been, and
was then, very limitel in its extent
and simple in its habits. Few senators
or representatives Brought their wives
to cheer their congressional labors, and
a parlor of ordinary size would contain
all of those who were accustomed to
attend social gatherings. A few diplo.
mats, with the officers or the army and
navy stationed at head quarters, were
accompanied by their wives, and there
were generally few visitors of social
distinction. The most friendly and
cordial intercourse prevailed, and those
who met at dinner-parties and at even
ing entertainments were like members
of one family, in general sympathy,
The costume of the ladies was clas-
sic in its scantiness, especially at balls
and parties. The fashionable ball dress
was of white India Grape, and five
breadths, each quarter of yard wide,
were all that were asked for to make a
skirt, which only came down to the
ankles, and was elaborately trimmed
with a dozen or more rows of narrow
flounces. Silk or cotton stockings were
adorned with embroidered "clocks,"
and thin slippers were ornamented
with silk and rosettes and tiny buck
les.
Those gentlemen who dressed fash
ionably wore bolivar" frock.coats of
some gay-colored cloth-blue, or green
or claret-with large lapels and gild-
ed buttons. Their linen was ruffled ;
their "Cossack" trousers were volumin-
GUS in size, and were tucked into high
"Hessian' boots with gold tassels. They
wore two, and sometimes three waist.
coats each, of different colors; and from
their watch-pOckets dangled ribbon,
with a bunch of large seals. When in
full-dress, gentlemen wore dress-coats
with enormous collars and short waists,

Late Hours.

Our evening engagements are far too
numerous, and our parties are too much
of the nature of public meetings. They
have lost all domesticity and simplici-
ty, to say nothing of the cost of them,
which is itself care. They are so late
as to extend far into the night. The
injurious results of scanty rest are very
obvious. They take two apparent OPP
posite but really related forms-excita'
bility and exhaustion. We are fearful
and fatigued; representative and sub
ject TO ennui. We are exqui'itely sensi'
tive to p in and discomfort on the one
hand, and uncommonly hard to please
on the other. Neither moralists nor
physicians have much control over the
faults of our social life. We can only
point them out. The remedy for them
rests with the public. viii a few in
fluential people, who want easily to do
an enormous amount OF good, dare to

rangements in the direction Of sleep

According to the most recent statis'
tics available those for 1879, the aver.
age value of hay in Massachusetts is
SIG a ton. In suburban localities hay
is frequently sold at $50 a ton. In
New York st te, the average price is
1919 per ton. The average price OF
milk as dedaced from the cheese fac.
tory returns of New York state, is
about q cents quart; as paid to the
farmer by the milk contractors of the
city supply about Boston, from 3to 81
cents aquart.
We have thus presented to us the
question of relations. A COW which
consumes three tons of hay yeal
must give, on the average, in New
York state S2997 worth of milk, OF
1850 quarts, in order to cover the
value of her food. In suburban Mas
sachusetts, with hay at $40, the same
COW must yield 1000 quarts at 8 cents
in order to cover the value of her food.
Now, in New York state the average
yield per COW is calculated to not ex-
ceed 1900 quarts, while the yield of
good herds is placed at 1900 quarts.
Another deduction, of value to the
suburban farmer especially, is that if
through the individual aptitude OF the
cow the 1000 quarts required to pay
for the hay at $50 per ton can be OBJ
tanned through the use of coarser fod-
ders or changed feed equivalent to $40
a ton for hay, then the superior skill
of the chooser and feeder of the cow
is equivalent to 1000 quarts of extra
yield.
These figures are but rough illus
tratieus of certain conditions which
appertain to dairy husbandry, the
methods under which competition and
low prices of product are to be met,
and the value of intelligent calculation
to the farmer.
There are certain facts which in this
connection should be well apprehend-
ed: /. That breed is superior to feed,
that is, that the animal the fodder is
fed out to is of more consequence, un-
der conditions of good farming, than
the money value Of the food. Feed
does not produce milk in the dry COW
high feeding can not force a scant
mixer by inheritance into large milk

When Cows May be Kept at a Profit.

When Cows May be Kept at a Profit.
DIR. & L. surievant in Springfield tMaAa.) Republican
In every herd Of cows there are ami
mails which differ widely among them
selves in their adaptability for profit.
Each animal has a different digestive
power, different tastes, different apti-
tudes, from every other animal. In one
animal increase of food may result in
the laying on Of flesh rather than an in
crease of quantity of milk yield-or
vice versa, one animal may keep up a
uniform yield of milk under a consider
able change of food. The owner who
carefully studies the aptitude of each
COW in his herd will usually be able to
point out such cows as can be kept
proftably on coarse folders and little
grain, and such other cows as can more
proftably be forced by high feeding
into a large yield of milk. As there
exists this individual difference be-
tween COWS in utilizing such food as
they obtain, it follows that as a herd
is usually constituted, some cows are
kept at a profit, and certain other COWS
at diminished profit, or perhaps at a
loss.
These two ideas, viz: the differences
that exist between individual animals
in economy of food and in production
and the changing relations between the
values of feeding crops and the animal
products, should lead the farmer to
careful study and thought. A
milch COW weighing one thousand
pounds is generally calculated to re-
quire for her support and profit three
per cent of her live weight daily in
food or thirty pounds of hay as its
equivalent. AS in this region the win
ter may be considered as OF six months
duration, this means two and three
quarters tons of hay. In the six months
pasturing it is dificult to assign a
representative value, but let us, keep
on the safe side, for the sake Of even
figures, calculate the cost Of the yearly
keep of COW at three tons of hay.
Now, when hay is at certain cost
that is, possesses a certain cash value
it is easy to figure out the quantity of
milk a COW has to annually produce in
order, at given price, to cover the
value Of the food, thus:
A COW must yield annually to equal
the value of three tons Of hay con-
