female friend is wife of good sense
aud good heart, whom he loves and
who loves him. Ii he has that he
i,eod not seek elsewhere. But sup
posing a man to be without such a
he'll mate, female friendships he must
still have, or his intellect will still be
wiihout garden, and there will be
MANY an unheeded gap even in its
strongest sense. Better and safer,
of course, such friendships where
disparities of years or circum-
stances put the idea of love
out of the question. We have
female friendships with those
mnch older and those much younger
than ourselves. Moliere's old house
keeper was a great help to his
genius and Montaigne's philosophy
takes both a gentler and loftier
character of wisdom from the date
in which he finds, in Marie de Gour-
ney, an adopted daughter, "certain-
ly beloved by me-" says the Horace
OF essayists, "with more than pater-
nal love, and involved in my solitude
aud retirement, as one of the best
parts of my being" Female friend
ship, indeed, is to man ''presidium
CT dulce decus"-bulwark, sweetenerI
ornament of his existence. To his
mental culture it is invaluable: with
ou5 it all his knowledge of books
will never give him knowledge of
the world.

Gufteau,s Brain.

The Woodstock (Vermont) Stand
ard publishes extracts from a pri-
vate letter written by DIR. Charles
L.Dana, Of New York, one of the
physicians invited to participate In
the Guiteau autopsy. The following
portion is of interest in view of the
discussion now in progress: "The
autopsy was what L wished most to
see. This took place in the chapel,
about three quarters of an hour
later. We had good deal OF
trouble about it, the details of which
would not interest you. Some of
the experts and lawyers for the
pros ecution were terribly afraid that
some positive evidence of insanity
would be found. They tried to fix
it so that no detailed examina-
ton of the balm should
then be made, but this
was envented. Then we found that
the physicians in charge had made
no proper arrangements for the care
full examination of the brain. Fur
thermore, the physicians in charge
did not know how to do the thing
properly. DIR. Mills, of our party,
was the only one there, so far as
could find, who knew how to exam
inc the brain as it should be done.
Dr. Morton and l were not entirely
ignorant either, but the study of a
criminal brain requires a large de-
gree of expertnss. We were able,
by sticking to it and constant 'hag-
ging,' to get a good many of the
facts we wanted. The outer men,
branes were little diseased, but the
brain itself appeared to be healthy.
Its shape and its convolutions were,
however, a little peculiar. 1t was
very much convoluted in parts, and
was of normal size. 1t has been
claimed by a German anatomist that
IN the brains of criminals the fissures
which divide up the convolutions
run together a great deal more than
they do ordinarily. Guiteau's brain
showed this in a very slight degree
only, 1t was, on the whole, brain
of high type, yet l should not want
to say that it was perfectly formed.
1 took home some pieces and shall
examine them microscopically when
they are hardened enough. Some
photographs were made, but they
will not amount to much"

THE LATEST ON THE taps.

The opponents of Ireland are Wig
orously beating around the bush to
scare up some well groomed dark
horse. The latest sensation is that
Reagan is going to be entered at
Galveston. If SO he is to have the
support OF the Gould people and the
strength that it was hoped could be
used for the Alcalde. 1t is said the
originators of this plot contemplate
disposing of the governorship. the
lieutenant governorship and the
chancelorship of the university.
Reagan is to be made governor, and
then United States senator, and the
gubernatorial succession is thus to
be transferred to the lieutenant gov
ernor, who is named by
the Galveston convention. The
Alcalde is to inherit the chancellor
ship, and the lieutenant-governor,
who becomes governor, is to carry
out the Roberts policies and be the
friend of Mr.. Gould. This is the
story as circulated, and the STATES
MAN is inclined to think there is a
good deal of truth in it, for it coin
cides with a plan that was per-
fected in the interest of another
gubernatorial candidate, whose
name was thrown to the breeze dur
ing the late extra session of the
Legislature. If the delegates to the
Galveston convention find them
selves prepared to carry out the pur-
poses of such a combination it will
add forty or fifty thousand votes to
the independent cause in Texas.

Popular Biblical Lore.
TNorwich Rulletin

Once upon a time, when Deacon
John Hooker and General Hawlcy
were law partners in Hartford, the
deacon was in barber shop being
shaved, when the question arose
whether the Bible made any refer
ence to BARRIERS. The deacon, who
was quite wag, asserted with the
utmost assurance, "Why, certainly.
In Chronicles, xii, 26, it says: And
the barber was hanged at the gates
of the city, and all the people said
amen.'" Nobody could refute the
quotation, and silence reigned
among the knights of hair restora-
tive. Mr.. Hooker left and few
steps away encountered General
Hawley on his way to the same shop.
He explained the situation and told
the general if the subject was re-
newed he must remember the
alleged quotation. Sure, enough,
as soon as the gentleman was well
lathered, the subject was introduced
and he was appealed to for light.
He at once cited the same ficticious
verse, and this confirmation was re-
garded as putting an end to all
doubt, and it was some weeks before
the true inwardness of the joke was
divulged.

Breeding MerinO sheep.
[Coleman's Rural World.l

The truth, the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth ought to be
the maxim of every newspaper pub
lished. In the following letter to
the Rocky Mountain HuSbdndman
writer takes a position that smacks
of the truth or lacks it, and which
ever horn of the dilemma is correct
the readers of the Rural World want
to know it.
Many breeders of thoroughbred
merino sheep insist upon producing
sheep that will yield wool containing
the greatest possible quality of oil
or yolk, and they stoutly assert that
it is for the interest of the wool
growers in the territories to breed
of such. Here in Montana we have
all learned that very greasy sheep
cannot stand our winters that not
only is there no warmth in oil
or yolk, but that it is a great source
of weakness. AS this oil or yolk has
no commercial value, the question
arises where is the advantage of
greasy sheep? The breeding of such
sheep arose, and has been perpetual
ted in the United States from a de-
sire to palm off upon the buyer or
manufacturer this yolk or worthless
material for wool. Had our woolen
manufacturers always adopted the
test of the secured weight in buying
wool, the excess of oil or yolk would
have been unknown even in Ver-
mont flocks. To such all extent have
our manufacturers lost from heavy
shrinking woods that they are now
almost universally adopting the
clean or secured found as basis for
wool buying. Every well regulated
wOOlen mill now keeps all
exact record of the shrink
age of all woods they purchase,
and upon this record is based, to a
full extent, the relative value of the
woods of the country. The agent OF
one of the leading cashmere mills of
New England, writes me as follows: {:
cit is very important that the WOOL
growers of your country understand
that wool must be sold here at a
price based upon the secured found.
1t is possible for wool growers to
cultivate only the thick growth, and
long stapled, fine wool without the
grease, as we have abundant evil
dence i'll this country, and will in
stance among others the efforts of
Mr.. Campbell, of Westminster, in
this state, as being a grower worthy
of imitation. The Australian wool
growers who now produce more
than four hundred million pounds
annually, are constantly improv-'
ing wool in this respect,
and any one who follows the
course of the market will see that
unwashed Australian is sold the
present season freely in Boston
from forty to forty-seven cents per
pound, showing that the buyers do
appreciate wool that is free from
grease. To-day we are buying beau
tiful stapled wool in this state (Ver-
mOnD at from fifteen to twenty
three cents unwashed, simply be-
cause it contains so large a per cent
of grease.
AT the east the prejudice against
greasy wool is rapidly increasing.
On dull market it is always the
last to sell, and it Is difficult now to
obtain its actual value. Can we,
here in Montana, afford to grow
such wool? Shall we not make
greater gains by breeding our fiocks
to merinOs, more like those used by
the English colonies in Australia?

Economy of Full Feeding for
MILK.

Milk.
Large yields of milk must neces-
sarily, says the National LtUe Stock
quantity of food consumed, for the
COW cannot create milk out of moth
ing. She is not a miracle-worker.
But does it follow that a large pro-
duct of milk costs more in proper
ton to quantity than a medium
yield?
Now the COW must be supported
before she gives any milk. After
the food of support all the food she
consumes must 60 to the production
of milk or flesh, and if the COW is a
good mixer it all goes to milk; in
other words, after the food of sup
port the extra food all goes to profit
that is, either to milk or flesh.
And it is equally clear that all the
food consumed to support the sys-
tenn of the animal is lost until the
point of production is reached.
A fter the producing point
is reached, the more the animal can
eat, properly digest and assimilate,
above this, the greater the profit.
This would seem to be too plain to
require illustration. What would
any one think of a manufacturer
who used steam engine for power
who should say that he could not af-
ford to furnish fuel to get up full
steam because the last half of the
steam cost more than the first half.
Now, if there is only fuel enough
used to heat the water just below
the boiling point, it will consume a
good deal of fuel to do this, but no
power will ever be produced by IT.,
and this fuel is all thrown away.
The fuel required to keep the water
heated up to two hundred degrees
only requires fifty per cent added to
give one hundred pounds steam
pressure and set the machinery all
at active work. 1t is evident that If
only half steam is produced it costs
fully three-fOurths as much as full
steam, and consequently all the
work that is done with this half
power is done at an additional cost.
Just so, when the cow is only fed
so as to produce a half yield of
milk, it costs more than three
fourths as much as q full yield. and
the half yield is produced without,
or even at loss. Now, to produce
steam most economically you must
have a well-constructed boiler and
engine; but whatever the boiler
may be, it costs less in proportion to
run it to its full capacity than to
half it's capacity. So, if you desire
to produce milk at the least cost,
you must select cows with capacity
to turn the largest amount of food
into milk-the larger the amount
the more cheaply will the milk be
produced. Of course the best cow
is the one that can digest and assim-
ilate the most food, and turn all the
extra food into milk, instead of lay
ing on flesh and fat. 1t is the busi-
ness of a skillful dairyman to select
such cows, and then make full use of
their machinery TO secrete milk, by
full feeding.

How TO Cultivate a SWEEP Voice.
TJeWfsh Messenger.1


There is no power of love so hard
to get and keep as a kind voice. A
kind hand is deaf and dumb. 1t may
be rough in flesh and blood, yet do
the work of soft heart, and do il
with a soft touch. But there is one
thing that love so much needs as a
sweet voice to tell what it means
and feels, and it is hard to get it and
keep it IN the right touch. One
must start in youth, and be on the
watch night and day, at work and
play. to get and keep a voice that
shall speak at all times the thought
of a kind heart. But this is the
time when a sharp voice is most apt
to be got. You often hear boys and
girls say words at play with quick,
sharp voice, as if it were the snap OF
a whip. When one of them gets
vexed you will hear voice that
sounds as if it were made up
of a snarl, a whine and a bark.
Such a voice often speaks worse
than the heart feels 1t shows
more i'll will in the tone than in the
words. 1t is often i'll mirth that one
gets a voice or tone that is sharp,
and sticks TO him through lite, and
stirs up i'll will and grief and falls
like drop of gall on the sweet joys
at home. Such as these get sharp
home voice for use and keep their
best voice for those they meet else
where, just as they would save their
best cakes and pies for guests and
all their sour food for their own
board. l would say to all boys and
girls, "Use your guests voice at
home." Watch it by day as a pearl
of great price, for it will be worth
more to you in the days to come
than the best pearl hid in the sea. A
kind voice is a lark's song to a
hearth and home. 1t is TO the heart
what light is to the eye.

The PresIdeht's Wife.

1t is said that her room in the
beautiful New York mansion in
which she died, has never been dis
turbed; that her needle is still
threaded and sticking in bit of DELI

undisturbed; nor will her husband
allow any one to change the
furniture arrangements. There
is the little rocker beside the
standard work-basket, and the
little neglige crocheted slippers.
7 here stands her desk with
the ink dried on her pearl-handle
pen which she had hastily put aside
from interruption,neYert to use again
on earth. Her favorite books are

The story goes that Arab Bey
hates the Khediye Ismail with an
exceeding great hatred, and the very
best Of reasons. When Arab was
as yet only q lieutenant he fell in
love with young girl-Coptic or
Arabic, we do not know-of unusual
beauty. He succeeded in pleasing her
and the family likewise, when it came
to pass that Ismail one day saw by
chance the girl, and Immediately in
formed himself as to her place of
dwelling. Ismail easily compelled
the fat her to ignore Arab, for whose
marriage preparations were already
being made; and the khedive's men
carried the maiden off to the harem.
Arab dared to protest, but his pro-
testations were received with con-
tempt. He then showed so dangerous
disposition that the khedive tried
to pacify him by comforting upon
him the title and rank of bey. Arab
accepted the position, but only that
he might use it to revenge himself.
So the thunders of eighty ton guns
destroying Alexandria, the riots, the
financial crash, the. immense injury
to commerce, the flight of the khe.
dive, the danger to the Suez canal,
tie loss of countless lives and prop
erty, the destruction of a nations in
dependence-all had their origin in
the unjust kidnapping of sixteen
year-old grill Well, Count Julian's
anger for another such monarchial
crime brought the Moors to the Rock
of Tarick, and lost Spain to Christ
endom for centuries.

CURRENT MATTERS.

On Monday last there were 62,500
bags of coffee in the warehouses of
Baltimore. The deliveries for the
week were 8205 bags and the re-
ceipts 1S,010 bags.
A Paris company has recently
been formed which is to give New
York a museum and wax works
show like the famous Madame Tus-
sands in London.
The value of the taxable property
in the District of Columbia is re-
ported at $90,30S, ,495, of which $7S,-
5l5,793 is in Washington, $685., ,759
in the county, and $5,266,943 in
Georgetown.
The owners of the SciotO are be-
ing proceeded against in Wheeling
before the United States district
court, in order to compel the for
feiture of $3.50 for carrying a
greater number of passengers than
authorized by the steamers papers.
Thousands of colored people are
expected to leave South Carolina
this fall, many of whom will go to
Arkansas. One of the leaders as
cribes the proposed exodus to a de-
sire of the colored people to find a
locality where they can make live
lihood with less labor than in South
Carolina, where much of the land is
exhausted.
The side-wheel steamer Pilgrim,
built at John Roach's Chester ship
yard, will be launched about the
10Th of this month. She is the
largest side-wheel ever built and
will cost $1,300,000. The steamer
San Bias was launched from the
same yard on Saturday. She is a
vessel of 1000 tons burden, with ac-
commodation for sixty-tive passen-
gers.
The Norfolk navy yard will, it is
said, resound with the busy hum
of industry" from now until the
November election. 1t has been
discovered that repairs can be made
better and with more dispatch at
Norfolk than at the other yards, and,
therefore, much work that would
naturally be done elsewhere will be
sent to Norfolk. This will involve
the employment of a large addi-
tIonal force and the expenditure of
considerable amounts of money. Of
course, it is done for the good of
the service, and not for the purpose
of furnishing patronage to the Ma
hone party.

Animal Combustion.

Within every living organism
there are two opposing forces. The
"vital force" which produces all the
phenomena oflife holds the material
| elements in unstable relations
against their will, go to speak-and
it is antagonized by the natural
chemical affinities of the elements,
which tend to break down the Or
ganic compounds and rearrange the
elements in more stable form. This
decomposition takes place in some
degree during the life of every or
ganism, and when lite ends, or
when vital force ceases to act, il ra-
pidly destroys the structure.
The waste matter resulting from
this disintegratiOn must be immc-
diately removed from the body of
the living animal, otherwise it clogs
and poisons the system. The method
of its accomplishment is one
of the most admirable functions
of the animal economy. To re-
move the effete matter in the natural
liquid or solid state would be very
exhausting; consequently it is
burned, and the gaseous products OF
its union with oxygen are then
easily carried away. Literally
speaking, this makes furnace OF
the body of every animal and the
most pressing and ceaseless demand
of the system is for oxygen to sup
port its fires. Respiration is hence
an ABSORBING and excreting process,
whereby oxygen is received and
carbonic acid and water removed.
1t thus becomes a measure of the
amount of combustion.
In the "cold-blooded" animal res
piration bears direct proportion to
the activity and the heat of the body,
as the former causes a metamor-
phosis and waste of tissue,
and the latter always aids de-
composition. The tact is one of
commonobservat 1t is we'll il
lustrated in the quiekened breathing
of tired animal, and in the almost
entire suspension of respiration in
the alternating state. The respira-
ton of "cold-blooded" creature is
increased by artificial heat. In ex-
rtemely hot weather frogs may have
to leave the water entirely, and
fishes come to the surface to pro-
cure air. Reversely, frogs can be
kept for years in state of suspended
animation by low temperature and
revived by warming. Some low
animals can survive freezing or dying
for an indefinite time; and, under
such conditions, the waste of the
tissues must be entirely suspended.
