4 "a seedman's package is sometimes n
hapbazard affair The size of the pack
age often depends upon the price lie is
obliged TO pay for the new seed. Seed
men would do well to state the number of
seed in a packet where n small quantity
is offered at high price.
The oft discussed question of feeding
stock may be summarized in few words.
Let the food be good, and the amount de-
pend upon the age condition, objects in
view and amount of exercise. Feed with
great regularity and let there be variety,
remembering that in the young animal,
iiesh strength aud fat are to be formed.
When an agent tells you that his fertili-
ger, offered for S25 per ton, is worth as
much as that of some well known firm
which charges $50 per ton, have naught
to do with him. The component parts OF
good fertilizer have fixed values, and no
firm can sell prime article for less than
those values. You would not be apt to
sell dollars for 50-cent pieces.
When horse, wishes to is
ten to sound supposed to be in irJLt,
the ears are thrown forward to catch the
sound more easily. If n noise is heard
from behind, the cars are thrown back,
while, if there is any doubt about the
sound. whether in front or in the rear
one ear is directed forward, the other
backward that the sound may be heard
at any rate.
A supply of roots for stock feeding
purposes next win,er should be taken into
consideration now. 1t is not necessary to
vary the food of cattle as much az that iu-
tended for man, but reason and expert
ence show that a change is very desirable.
The bulk Of our stock are kept on dry
feed. during winters, consisting OF hay,
corn stalks, or straw, with occasionally
little grain. Every animal tires of the
same kind Of food if fed for long time.
Roots furnish the best substance for
change. In oil parts of the country some
kind OF roots can be raised for stock to
good advantage.

GREAT MINDS AND MATRIMONY.
Glance at the Marriage Relations o I
Various Wen Of Genius.

1t has long been disputed question,
writes l.. d. Morgan in the May Lippin-
cot, whether men Of genius should, like
ordinary mortals, seek for comfort and
happiness iu the married state, or wheth
er the "divinc spark" which has been be-
slowed upon them does not unfit them
for the somewhat precaIious bliss of mat
rimony. The different sides of the sub
ject have been discussed with due gravi-
ty by various generations of authors, and
many have reached the conclusion that
such gifted human beings should be we'd
ded to their vocations alone, and avoid
the harrassing cares of a family, or the
possible misery consequent upon union
with q frivolous and unsympathetic help
mate. "Wifo and children are impede
ments to great enterprises" writes Lord
Bacon, and certainly the best works,
and of the greatest merit, proceeded
from unmarried or childless men.
Mr.. Morgan presents an interesting
collection of glimpses at the matrimonial
relation of many distinguished men, with
pleasant vein OF comment. We make
the following extracts
Socrates, indeed, is said to have cs-
poused Xantippe on account of her
shrewish temper, which gave occasion for
the constant exercise of patience and self
control. But few will sympathize with
such morbid desire for self-sacrihoe on
the part of the sage volunteer martyr
dom excites little commiseration, and
must generally be its own reward.
Marriage is not like the hill Olympus,
wholly without Clouds" said old Fuller
yct-mark the inconsistency-he was
twice married, and would probably have
entered into that condition of precarious
bliss had he lived little longer. Such Il
disinclination to state of "widower-
hood" we find among the stornest abusers
of matrimony in general, very few among
them living up to their principles on this
point.
Dean Swift thus neatly throws the bur
den of unsuccessful unions on the gent
Ter sex: "The reason why so few mar
riages are happy is because young ladie
spend their time making nets, not il
making cages :" Such half-truths wer,
dear to the Deans heart, and general,
left sting behind, which did not dis
please him, especially if the injury wa
resented and the imputation loudly de

her children acquire German accent,
she now keeps them at distance in
very odd way. There is no doubt OF the
Queens love for her children. When they
want start in life she induces the Pre-
mier to ask for as large grant as he
thinks the House of Commons will en-
dure. Every item of outlay for the Roy
al family that can by any stretch OF ina
gination he considered public is charged
to the exchequcr and the Queen herself
saves every shilling that she can out OF
her immense revenue. AT this moment
Her Majesty, considered as private in
diyidual. cannot be worth less than q
couple Of millions sterling, so great have
been the bequests made to her and 80
great the saving she has made out OF in
come. This latter is not quite fair to the
country, which pays literally for frdis dc
representation and is, when foreign
guests come, very shabbily represented,
but it shows the Queens love for her
children In the face of these facts is it
not difficult to believe that none of her
children dare go to sec her without per-
mission? Yet such is the rndoubted fact.
Not one of her children, except the Prin-
cess Beatrice, who is condemned to Sc
clusion with her mother, can visit her
without permission. Among themselves
they are loving enough and extremely
pleasant and frec-and-easy together.
Prince Christian. who looks very old to
he the husband of the buxom Princess, is
on tho best terms with the Prince of
Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh and the
Duke of Albany and the Duke of Ieck,
batting his dull stories, learned, l should
think, from the late Prince Consort, gets
on well with everybody, thanks to his own
good temper and his charming wife, the
Princess Mary, otherwise "the Queen OF
the Jingoes.' But all Of these, including
the Prince of Wales, are at an immcasur'
able distance from the Queen, who is
lonely, must perforce conclude, because
she wishes to be so, or has rather encir-
cled herself with hedge of etiquette
which she is now powerless to break.
That she is absolute monarch in her own
family as she is in her own house is be-
yond all doubt but there is no question
that she has not now single friend to
whom she can speak openly and unresery'
edly.

thipetn's Address TO the ltes.


People Of my tribe the sorrowine wild
ow of the dead Ouray speaks to You She
comes to you, not as the squaw Of the dead
chieitain, to rouse you to war and victory
but to weep with you over the loss of her
people and the greed Of the pale face
The fair Colorado, over whose rocky
mountains we have roamed and hunted in
the olden time, is now overrun by the
silyer-pated Senator and the soft-eyed
dude.
We are driven to small corner OF the
earth to die. while the oppressor digs COB
u'r holes in the green grass and sells
tucih to the speculator of the great cities
toward the rising sun.
Through the long cold winter my peo-
pie lave passed, i'll want and cold, while
the conqueror of the peaceful Ute has
worn $3.50 night shirts and filled his pale
skin with pie.
Chipeta addresses you as the weeping
squaw of II great man whose bones will
one day nourish the cucumber vine.
Ouray now sleeps beneath the brown grass
of the canyon, where the soft spring winds
may stir the dead leaves and the young
coyote nay come and monkey DER his
grave.
Ouray was ignorant in the ways OF the
pale face. He could not go to Congress,
for he was not n citizen Of the United
States. He had not taken ont his second
papers. He was simple child of the
forest but he stuck to Chipeta He loved
Chireta like a hired man. That is why
the widowed squaw weeps over him.
| A few more years and | shall join
Ouray-my chief, Ouray, the big lniun
from away up the gulch. His heart is
still open to me. Chipeta could trust him,
even among smiling maidens of her tribe.
Ouray was true. There was no funny
business in his nature He loved not the
garb of the pale face, but won my heart
while he wore saddle-blanket and
look Of woe.
Chipeta looks to the North and the
South, and all about are the graves of her
people The refinement of the oppressor
has come, with its divorce and schools and
gin cocktails and tlour-bread and fall cleo
tions, and we linger here like boil on the
neck of Il fat man.
Even while talk to you, the damp
winds of April ale signing through my
vertebr@ and I've got more pains i'll my
back than u conservatory.
Weep with the widowed Chipeta Bow
your heads and howl, for our harps are
hung on the willows and our wild goose
is cooked
Who will be left to mourn at Chipetas
grave? None but the starving pappooses
OF my nation. We stand in the gray mist
of spring like dead burdocks in the field
of the honest farmer, and the chilly winds
OF departing winter make us hump and
gather like burnt boot
All We can do is to wall
Colorado is no more the home OF the
Ute, 1t is the dwelling place of the bon
anza Senator, who doesn't know the differ
ence between the plan of salvation and the
previous question.
Chipeta caunot vote. Chipeta cannot
pay taxes to great nation, but You will
be apt TO hear her gentle voice, and her
mellow racket will ill the air till her
q tongue is cold and they tuck the buffalo
robe about her and plant her by the side
OF her chieftain, where,the south wind and
the sage hen are singing

The time is not far distant when elect
tricity will to great extent supplant
steam as motive power. The New York
Mail says that company is now being
formed for the purpose of developing
electrical railroads, and will probably be
in full operation within the next six
months. The company is in possessien
of II new electric motor whish is destined
to work an entire revolution in the mode
of propelling cars both on the surface and
elevated roads The main idea of the sys-
tenn has been successfully tried by Field
and Edison here and Siemeus in Europe,
but the details are new and remarkably
ingenious. The system consists i'll hay
ing stationary engines at suitable points
along the line of II railroad. These en-
| gines drive dynamo electric machines
similar to those used by the electric light
companies.
The current from the machine is either
carried along the rails or along suitable
conductors attached thereto. BY means
of brushes or contact wheels it is then
conveyed to small secondary dynamos
which are attached by gearing to the axles
of the bar. Devices are 30 arranged thai
the car may be stopped or started at pleas
ure. The economy of the system ia repre-
sented by the greater efficiency of a sta
tionary steam engine over locomotive III
a producer ofpower on street railroads, il
as much rs ii substitutes steam, through
The agency OF electricity, for horse pow
er. On the elevated roads the value o
this system is apparent from the fact tha
it lessons the weight required to be haul
ed over the track. The present locomo
tives weigh about one-fourth of the at
| tached train. As this motor does ava,
with locomtives, the gain is selfevident
, 1t must beaded that the system has beel
) so thoroughly tried, and is being still fur
ther improved, that it's speedy introduc
tion into general use is merely questio
a Of time.

and Past Chancellor OF the st. Louis Legion
Of Honor, had rather peculiar experience.
lie left ST. Louis last Wednesday afternoon
by rail tor Burlington. On Thursday morn
ing he stopped over at the little hamlet of
Medora, " is, about 100 miles east of Bur

arrival at Medura that little town WAS thrown
into high fever of excitement yer The com
mission OF a terrible crime DIR. Richer, one
OF the local physicians, had murdered his
wife and then made good bis escape. \ de
scriptiOn of the murderer wa forwarded to
the police authorities within 300 miles. ANY
stranger who happened to be- passing through
any town in that section was closely
shadowtd. Major Whitney stopped hut a
few hours in Medora and then took west
bound train and reached Burlington late in
the afternoon, few hours in advance of the
train on which his wife and child were.
After resting half hour more he started
on his return to the depot, pre-

TO have an opportunity OF seeing the

One of the most respected Philadelphia
ministers lately preached an able, searching

eloquent and practical lesson of the eminent
teacher and not see that they are guil'A oil

Gus theft
One o. the thefts enumerated as the most
common is the theft Of time from the busy
workers of the word by idlers. Few who
eurnmst this form Of theft appreciate the
wrong they do As rule, hey are idlers;
men and women whu have little l. Dor ami
| much leisure. Many oi them are highly re-
spectable aud well meaning persons; time
beinp of little value to themselves, they
have no knowledge OF the value OF hours
and minutes 10 others, and they call ana
waste time, every minute OF which is golden
to the people who suffer the theft. This
class is, as a rule, intelligent and should be
easily reformed II 1t could be made TO pause
and consider the wrong 1t does To others.
The most pestiferOas thief OF time that
preys {!pon the workers Of the world Is the

/ try all things to make u teu-strike. THEY

berry Sellesr' family; the thousand shades oi
| semi-genteel swindling operations sugar
coated with plausible prospects of fortune
without labor, and the thousand shades oi
ambition that is ever thieving from workers
to promote their own advancement. They
are trained in deceit, usually fluent and fas
cinating In speech and too respectable II
manner and look to be kicked out. They
are the worst OF robbers and they cost th'
worlds earnest workers millions in valuable
time that is lost forever.
Sensible men and women who know thu
value of time to the busy workers are wei
come everywhere. Whether they come Oh
business or in the kindly offices Of friend
ship, they never steal the time they can't re
turn. Ii they have business, it is prompt!
