The position that the looming cow"
fs to be one well adapted for both beef
and milk production, we believe to be
correct, if it be not pushed too far
There is an increasing number of dairy
farmers who find it best to give al
most exclusive attention to the guam
fifty and quality of the milk given by
their cows; caring little about their
merits as beef makers. So there are
beef producing farmers who properly
count it "A disadvantage if a COW gives
Ia large flow of milk. This is true on
THE Western plains. 1t is true of such
farmers as j. ID. Gillette, who only
tasks of a COW that she shall produce
and feed calf each year. Both these
classes form but a minority of
cattle raisers. The most sue
cessful dairymen and the pro-
ducers of the very finest beef ami
mails may be found in these classes;
| but the great majority Of cows and of
steers for beef are, and long will con-
tinue to be, raised by men who cannot
afford to ignore either the milk-giving
or the meat-producing quality. For
such men the popular breed must be
one with deserved claims to good
duality in both directions. 1t is quite
possible that several breeds may, in the
future, be claimants for highest merit
for this double purpose, but the course
of breeding now adopted by the special
| friends Of most leading breeds is cal
culated to develop one of these quail
4 ties at the expense of the other. The

Some Annoyances Of Russian Life.

No one is allowed to enter Russia
without passport duly vised. or to
leave the country without stamped
permission to do so. But these pass
ports are easily obtained, and can be
duly vised in London and elsewhere
without person application. They
contain simply the name, without any
description of the travellers; they are
collected and submitted to the authori-
ties by the captain of the ship on
entering the country, and by the hotel
keeper when permission to leave is
required, and while causing great
annoyance and some expense to the
ordinary traveller, they seem of little use
for detective purposes. The hotel keep
ers at st. Petersburg are obliged, under
heavy penalties, to report to the police
twice day the names of all travellers
WHO enter or leave their hotels. Each
householder in the city is compelled by
the government to have a "Dvornick 1"
to watch his premises. These dvornicks
are men of the peasant class. who sit
day and night wrapped in their sheep
skins T., the entrance of the houses,
their vurco being apparently that of
half wschmeli, half spy. An order was
issued a short time ago that no one
should walk in the streets of st. Pc
tersburg without a passport, but tine
avsurulvy and annoyance of the pro-
ceedings were such as to compel the
withdrawal of the order. Newspaper
editors are only allowed to give, on
certain subjects, such views as are per-
mitted by the government, and on some
questions are forbidden to write at all.
Foreign newspapers are stopped at the
postotiice, often held back altogether,
and when delivered at all have any
Objectionable parts or paragraphs
stamped out and made illegible. The
London Times frequently appears with
paragraphs OF portions of the columns
blocked out in this manner. A gentle
man received his newspaper short
time ago with the whole of it cut away
with the exception Of the advertise
ments. 1t would take too long to
enumerate the many petty and other
annoyances which official zeal imposes
on the ordinary life of the Russian peo-
pie. and which have to be accepted
without public remonstrance or criti-
cism.-Fortnightly Recie1O.

Origin of the Name Texas.

On subsequent visit Houston told
me the legend of the origin of the
name Texas" as nc had it from an
Indian chief. l wish 1 could give his
very words instead of my memory of
them. A long time ago, when the
Spaniards overran and plundered
Mexico, some of the red men left them
and came toward the rising sun. They
crossed the Rio Grande, and not know
ing what lay before them entered upon
the great salt marshes. They Travelled
many days and found but little sweet
water or game The weather grew hot
and the little streams dried up and the
grass withered, and many old men and
women and children died of thirst.
One day, after many weeks of weary
walking, party Of young braves, who
hal been sent ahead to reconnoiter,
came running back and said: Eve have
found water, come on p This good
news put new life into their veins,
and, although nothing could be seen
but dry, flat, bald prairie, the scouts
were standing still, calling and beckon-
ing to them and pointing toward some
thing apparently at their feet.
At length they reach the spot where
the braves are standing. Fifty feet
below them the limpid waters of the
Colorado sung a melody to heaven.
Beyond, far as even an Indian vision
could reach, stretch d green expanse.
The tall mesquite grass, yielding to
the breath of the gentle south wind,
rolled in vast pillows of verdure under
the ardent summer sun. Little
"islands of mt suite trees dotted the
grassy sea, and herds of buffalo and
deer grazed in peaceful ignorance of
an enemy's approach. Forgetting
hunger, fatigue and even thirst in this
delicious vision the red men fall upon
their kness and cry out "Tehas !
Tehas!"
"Tehas" is the nearest approach 1
can make in English to the correct
pronunciation of Texas, and it means
as the narrator explained to me-

WISE WORDS.

When man speaks the truth you
may count pretty surely that lie pos
Sesses other virtues.
Whatever you win in life you must
conquer by your own efforts, and then
1t is yours, Il part of yourself.
Man wastes his mornings in antici-
pating his afternoons, and wastes his
afternoons in regretting his mornings.
When there is love in the heart
there are rainbows in the eyes, cover
ing every black cloud with gorgeous
hues.
We love much more warmly by cher
ishing the intention of giving pleas
ure than an hour afterward when we
have given it.
Every man cherishes in his heart
some object, some shrine at which his
alteration is paid, unknown to his fell
low mOrtals.
We have seen prudent. industri-
Gus wife retrieve the fortunes of fam

other end of the rope.
For the best results there needs be
the longest waiting. The true harvest
is the longest in being reached. The
failures come first. the success last.
The unsatisfactory is generally soonest
seen.
Life is made up, not of great sacri-
fees or duties, but of little things, of
which smiles and kindness and small
obligations, given habitually, are what
win and preserve the heart, and secure
tie comfort.
1t is better in some respects to be
admirelb by those with whom you live
than to be loved by them. And this
not on account of any qualification or
vanity, but because admiration is so
much more tolerant than love.

competent man and good fellow, was
a little too fond of stimulants. On one
occasion he went down with pretty

man above, not knowing his condition
became seriously alarmed when several
hours passed by without their receiv-

Spouse to those they made to him.

From an experience of years as a

Gentleman, l find great lack of
system in planning among farmers.
When it comes to the erection of a
house, if we are to take the description
of the thought as we see it embodied
in the country houses that dot the
landscape, it is not strange that the
jewellers in villages and city houses of
comfort and beauty, should call them
places to live in instead of homes. 1t is
often remarked by those from the
country who visit friends in the viii

Decrease In Postage.

Forty years ago it cost six ceats to
send letter from New York to Brook
Ign: ten cents to send it to Newburg;
twelve and half to Catskill; eighteen
and three-quarters to Saratoga; twenty
five to Cincinnati. A bold step, taken by
Congress in 1851, declared that n single
letter should be carried anywhere in the
country within 5000 miles for three
cents. There had been one inter
mediate step, half dozen years be-
fore, reducing postage to five cents for
distance of 300 miles or less, and to
ten cents above tn It distance.
