Somebody wrote to the editor of q
country paper asking how to break an

only one OK, good way would be to
hoist him by means of q chain attached

REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT IN
NORWAY

A slight misunderstanding has arisen
in Norway between Parliament and King
Oscar H., and, according to some, the
Norwegians are not unlikely to try set
ting up a Republic The King is Sover-
eign of both Sweden and Norway, though
in all other respects the nations are indie
pendent. Each has its Parliament and
its own laws. The King, who is perhaps
the most learned and the most approach
able ruler in Europe, lives at Stockholm, in
Sweden, and pays Norway very little at
tention. He rarely visits that part of
his realm, and the Norwegians feel the
slight. Under the constitution, an act
of Parliament, if vetoed by the King,
may be passed again and again, ard on
the third passage becomes a law in spite
of the royal disapproval In order to
show their power, to point out TO His
Majesty the rather inaffectionate dispo-
sition of his Norwegian subjects, and to
get some of the pomp and ceremony as
we'll as the burdens of a Kingdom, the
Parliament has now passed for the third
time an act requiring the attendance Of
the Ministry on its sittings, The King
renews his disapproval, asserting that no
such change of the organic law was con-
templated by the constitution, and the
peasants, in turn, who are thoroughly
united, are represented as anxious to
abolish royalty, and only ignorant of the
way in which to do it.

THE WORST OF HUMAN KIND.

Can it be supposed that when Dean
Swift libeled humanity by degrading it
below the level of the brutes in his dread
full fic ion of the Yahoos, he ever imagin-
ed that there existed aught that approx
mated toward the odious picture? Yet
such is the case. There are undoubtedly
races whose attributes do, in various de-
grees, suggest, if they do not realize, the
misanthropic fable of the men-beasts of
Houvhuhms Land The Niam-niams of
Africa, who live between the Gulf of
Benin and Abyssinia, are said to have
tails, statement confirmed by DR.. Hubsh,
of Constantinople, in 1851, The "hairy-
people," mentioned of old by Hanno,
seem to have a real. existence, apart from
the gorilla, Judging from Miss Birds ac-
count of the Amos, of Japan, a strange,
savage and little-known race, supposed
to be the aboriginies of that country, but
now only to be found in the island of
of Yexo. They are, she says, of a most
ferocious aspect, owing to the profusion
of their thick, soft, black hair and boards,
and to the singular fact that their bodies
are commonly covered with vigorous
growth of black hair or fur, upward of an
inch in length, and incrusted with dirt,
for the Amos never wash. Their food is
'stew OF abominable things" and "a
thick stew of putty-like clay, which is
boiled with the bulb of a wild lily"
They believe themselves to be descended
from dogs, but other characteristics of
this strange people are not unamiable.
Beyond these instances, and presenting
far more striking resemblance to the va
hoo type, there are the Veddas or Web
dahs of Ceylon, their duplicates in Bor-
neo and New Guinea, and kindred varie
ties, discovered in the Philippine Islands,
Terra del Fuego and South America.
Only none of these are so hateful as the
creatures of Swift's invention 1t need
ed that fierce indignation against his kind
which he has recorded in his epitaph, to
depict them.

The record of patents granted during
the last 200 years throws curious light
upon the progress of the manufacture of
mirrors. Up to that time the Venetians
had monopoly Of the business, but in
1884 the French began to compete, and,
con. peting in the art, beat all others in
the field, and improved so rapidly that
in another fifty years, in 1884, glass
plate was cast in Paris which was IS
inches long and so broad. The suprem-
acy then gained continues to our day of
three classes of glass supplied to the

The latter are imported pure, to be silver

OF the German manufactures is in Ba-

BETTER HORSES AND BETTER
PRICES

Never in the history of fine stock in
terests has such rapid improvement in
any branch of stock raising been made
as has characterized the American draft
horse. Americans have crossed the At
lantic and obtained the very best speci-
mems of French and English draft horses,
the progeny of which have been scatter
ed throughout the country; yet farmers
are slow to improve the opportunity OF
using them, but will continue to use mon
grels because they ase cheaper. There
is not more profitable business connect
ed with the farm than raising half and
three-quarter blood draft horses. We
will suppose the reader is a farmer and
possesses four or five work horses; we
will also suppose that three out of the
five are mares, or can be exchanged for
mares. You breed those three mares to
one of the many little stations of the
country, amp produce colt useless until
it is three years old, and its cash value is
then $50 to 800. Take the same three
mares and breed them to thorough
bred draft horse of any kind of the pop
ular breeds, Norman, Clydesdale, Eng
lish draft, Suffolk, Punch of Cleveland
Bay, and the offspring will be colts that
can be put to work at two years old. We
have known yearlings to be used for light
work, but do not recommend that After
working their colts two summers, there
by receiving satisfactory returns for feed
and trouble, at four years old you will
find ready sale for them at from 1926 to
$3.50 per head. We know a farmer who
pursues this course, turning off team of
4-year-olds each year, at prices that were
never lower than 1875 per team.-Chas

THE LATEST DAIRY BREED

For several years past there has been a
great demand tor jersey cows for dairy
purposes and so far as observations and
careful recording of their performances
are concerned, the little tawn-colored
mixers have fully established themselves
as the favorite dairy cattle of America.
They are not permitted to occupy this
position without opposition, however.
Recent advices from across the sea are to
the effect that the craze for Guernsey cat
tie is on the increase, and it seems that
the Jerseys claim to superlatiye merit
are to be disputed This family in its
native country is the undisputed favorite
and the importations to America have
largely increased during the past year.
They are the equal of any dairy stock in
the world, yielding as much milk and OF
as fine quality, and combining with this
characteristic the additional valuable fact
that by judicious breeding they afford a
fair quality of beef.
This cannot fail to recommend them to
dairymen, as the Jersey after its useful
ness at the pail, is practically of no value

BOB. INGERSOLL HAS NOT LOST
HIS FORTUNE.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-The pathethic
stories which have been sent from here
the past month or two, to the effect that
Bob. Ingersoll the infdel orator and Star
route attorney, has lost all of his fortune
in unfavorable mining speculations is all
bosh. The facts are that lngersoll and
an Ex-United States Senator and EX- cab
inet-officer were given a vast amount OF
stock in New Mexico mine for their in
fuence. They put none of their own
fortunes into the speculation, but large
number of their friends were induced, by
them, to buy immense amounts OF the
stock, At one time Col. Ingersoll and
the ex-senator could have sold out and
made a great deal of money, but for them
to sell out would have called collapse
in the stock, and so the object for which
it was donated to them would have been
defeated, as they were forced by their
contract with the manipulators to hold
on. All of a sudden, however, in spite
of them, and the immense labor given to
floating the stock, the bottom dropped
out of the mine or rather it was found
that the mine had no bottom; the specu-
lation fell fat, and the friends of the dis
tinguished decoy ducks can count as lost
all of the cash they put into it. Some of
them are clicking hard about it and
