Jupiter is the largest body in the solar
system except the sun itself, and exceeds
the earth in volume about 300 times.
The girth of the earth at the equato. is in
round numbers $4,000 miles. Jupiter's
equatorial girdle measures 267, 900 miles.
But Jupiter is light in proportion to his
size. His specific gravity is little less
than that of water. Therefore, if we can
imagine an ocean big enough to try the
experiment, Jupiter dropped into it would
not sink. The belts of Jupiter are we'll
known phenomena. They are among the
first objects upon which the amateur as
tronomer who has happily become the
possessor of u telescope tries its powers,
and there is probably nothing else in the
whole heavens that he views SO frequently
and with so much satisfaction. Yet, al
though astronomers have been watching
these belts and beholding the wonderful
changes that take place in their appear
ance for more than 200 years, they have
not succeeded in satisfactorily explaining.

AN EASY VIc1IM.-The Boston Globe
says Mr.. b. F. Townsend, of South Attic
boro, Mass, relates sad tale of how he
was "duped by swindlers in New York
recently. 1t seems that Mr.. Townsend
received $3.50 by the death of an aunt in
Canada. He was notified by parties in
New York that he could draw the money
at their office by paying $500, the amount
of their commission due. Although Mr..
Townsend did not have the necessary
cash with which to procure the windfall,
he had property upon which he raised the
amount, and then departed for New York,
Upon arriving there he met his agents at
hotel. The men then escorted Mr..
Townsend through several streets to a
place designated as their office, where
they counted the money out before their
victims eyes, and then placed the money
in one of two satchels. The commission
OF $500 was paid, and Mr.. Townsend
picked up his satchel and repaired to his
hotel, where he opened the satchel for the
purpose of counting the money himself
when he discovered that it only contained
$26 ia money and lot of brown paper
Thinking perhaps that the agents had
given him the wrong bag he started out
to find and notify them of the serious mis-
take, but he could not ascertain their
whereabouts; neither could he find the
Office whore the business was transacted.
The truth then flashed upon Mr.. Town
send that he had been swindled.

Some "reminiscences of very noted beau

her name lately brought again into promin-

her loneliness, Miss Sallie Carneai. She of
the olden time SO far distanced all of her
compeers by her beauty and wit that she
was known far and wide as the belle of

names. Her form was superb and her face
classic and indeed faultless. In addition to
these physical endowments she had great
and ready wit and vocal powers and culture
of high order. The popular songs of

Another, gentleman from naighboring
town, was more fortunate. lie asked a
friend to call with him on Miss Carneal.
The friend was only too happy, thinking he
would at last be presented to her. When
admitted it was discovered to the dismay of
the friend that Mr.. B was also strang-

ruse and explained that he could not
leave Cincinnati without seeing its greatest
ornament, and with more of that fattery of

THE "Cloture" measure proposed by
Mr.. Gladstone, is a parliamentary rule
to close debate and secure a vote upon
a question. At present the British
parliament has no rule by which they
can come to a vote, as in the Amerl-
can congress by the previous question,
or similar methods in other Legislative
bodies of the world. The cloture will
cut off the unlimited right to talk in the
British parliament, and although it is
opposed by even some of Gladstone's
party, it seems that not only common
sense would require it, but the actual
transaction of public business would
demand it. In the house of commons
there is no provision for quorum, or
rather, those present are quorum,
and absenteeism is the rule; sell
dom ever more than 800 out of the
052 members present. So the "cloture"
would make it possible for majority
to do business.

THE convict lease system ofGeorgia,
is one of the issues of the present cam
paign in that state. Ex-Gov. Smith,
who claims to be an unvarnished bour-
bon, claims to be the author
of the convict lease system
and that he is proud of it. DR..
FELTON,, the leader of the independent
movement lays the iniquity of this lease
system bare TO the world. Texas is not
quite SO bad as Georgia in this direc-
ton, but exactly the same system pre-
walls and it is nothing more or less
than system Of slavery inaugurated
through the auspices of the democratic
party. Be it is said to the credit of a
large portion of the democrats of the
state, this lease system is condemned
as an outrage and a shame. AT one
time our coloredpeople, who are large
ly the victims of the system, appealed
to the federal authorities under the
civil rights bill, but nothing was ever
heard of the appeal. 1t is a question
of state economy that must be dealt
with in Texas as well as Georgia.

THERE would be no occasion or ex-
cuse for an independent movement if
the democratic party would put for
ward its best men upon a broad and
liberal platform. We need no more
political intolerance; no more appeals
to passion and prejudices begotten of

A basis may be arranged upon which
all decent, high.minded and honorable

for Texas the best and purest form of

party could nominate stick or Texas

and rely on the "party'' to boost it

past. The voters of Texas are not so
party blind now They will demand
something more than a label to vote
for in the next election; and unless the
democratic party rises to the require
ments of the occasion, there is fine
prospect of a movement that will

HORSE LORE.
Commissioner John q. Russell Before the Far
mers' Meeting ct Salem, Mass.


The horse has the smallest stomach
in proportion to his size of any animal.
Fifteen or sixteen quarts is its utmost
capacity. The space is completely filled
by four quarts of oats and the saliva
that goes into the stomach with them.
Horses are generally overfcd, and not
fed often enough. For horse with
| moderate work, six or eight quarts of
bruised oats and ten pounds of fine hay
day is sufficient. This should be fed
| in at least three meals, and is better if
| fed in four.
A horses digestion is very rapid, and
therefore he gets hungry sooner than a
man. When he is hungry he is ineffect-
i've, and wears out very rapidly. Wa
ter fills the stomach, lowers the temper
AZURE and dilues the gastric juice
| therefore horse should not drink i'm
mediately before eating. Neither should
he be watered Immediately after eating,
| because he will drink too much, and
force intestines, which " i'll cause scour-
ing. Securing is also caused by too
rapid eating, which can be prevented
by placing half dozen pebbles, halt
the size of the fist, in the Manager with
the oats. Give only moderate drink
of water to a horse. A large drink of
cold water before being driven will
have a very quoting effect OF a nervous
horse. A racc-horse always runs on an
empty stomach. Digestion progresses
moderately during exercise, if the exer-
else is not SO violent as TO exhaust the
powers of the horse.
| | consider bruised oats worth twenty
per cent more than whole. They are
more completely digested. l prefer
oats to any other grain for horses.
Cracked corn is very good under some
circumstances, but wouldn't use meal
or shorts. The disease called big-head
is caused by feeding corn. When q
horse comes in hot l would give mod
crate feed Immediately. If the horse
is too tired TO eat l would take his feed
away. A heated horse is reason
against watering and for feeding, for
the system is just then in the condition
to begin digestion. A horse will not
founder if fed moderately when hot
prefer dry feed unless a horse has
some disease of the throat or lungs,
Do not consider it worth while to cut
hay. | always feed my hay from the
floor, then the horses do not get par
| ticles in their ewes.

TIE GUERNSEY cow.

The Breeders Gazette. new and re-
liable authority on questions of live
stock, has the following in its last num-
Der:
"Wc are glad TO see the increased in
terest taken in Guernsey cattle in this
country. The usefulness and popular
ity of the Jerseys are assured. The
more general introduction of the
Guernsey viii not harm the Jerseys,
and the former give good satisfaction.
The average size is greater-probably
from 20 to Is per cent greater-and this
be in favor of the breed with many
dairy farmers. A good many Guern-
sey cows, as seen on their native island !,
have sufficient size and such form as
make them very fair animals for the
butcher when well fattcd. The two
breeds are so nearly allied in character
istics that, were it not FOR herd-book
restrictions, good results might come
ia many cases by crosses between them.
We can commend the Guernsey to those
who, while liking the Jerseys, have
locked for greater size and somewhat
greater flow of milk. The general ver-
dict is that the milk of the Guernsey is
at least equally rich with that of the
Jersey. The butter is even more highly
