ReWarding a Brave Woman.

The secretary of the treasury has awarded
the gold life-saving medal to the famous Ida
Lewis, now Mrs. Ida Lewis Wilson, in recog-
milton of her services in rescuiHg number of
persons from drowning since the passage Of
the act authorizing such awards. Most of the
rescues made were under circumstances which
called for extreme and heroic daring and in
volved the risk of Mrs. Wilson's life. The fol-
looming summary of her achievements in life
saving is taken from the records of the treas
ury department The whole lumber of lives
Mrs. Ida Wilson has saved since 1854, so far
as known, is thirteen. In all these cases,
except two, she relied wholly on her
self. Her latest achievement was the rescue
last February of two fandsmen from Fort
Adams, near Newport, R. L The men were
passing over the ice near Lime Rock light.

"Ddughter Slavery"

From New York Letter by 'Gath.''
Perhaps the most completes slavery to
be seen in New York is slavery to ones
daughters. The New York wealthy man
has daughter or two. H. pays but lit
tie attention to them while they are
children, but it suddenly occurs to him
that they are growing beautiful. His
wife is sure of this fact, and she begins
to dress the girls while they are still
children in all the elegance ofprincesses.
They are sent to dancing school. to rid
ing school, to the finest seminary, and
put in the opera box, allowed to know
all that is going on at all the theatres,
and carried to the watering places, and
before they know anything Of their own
country they are sent to Europe where,
as my friend, the consul, who has just
arrived, says he has seen girls not sew
enteen years of age provided with ward
3Sirty OF silk from dresse fifteen with t.
hose Of variegated silk, diamonds in
their ears, and everything that life ought
to yield toward its termination they are
satiated with upon the very threshold.
With fine food and wine their complex
ions become elegant, they are seldom
away from the dentists a week having
teeth fixed, the most cosmopolitan So
ciety is introduced to them, and they
look down with Indifference upon the
boys of their own age, or if they marry
by an act of nature, soon upbraid their
husbands for not keeping up the luxury
their parents spoiled them with. A
friend who has spent many years in Eu-
rope tells me that the freedom allowed
daughters by American p ,rents is the
astonishment and horror of the contin-
ent. American girls are known where
ever they appear by their sumptuous
attire on the streets, their delicate shoes,
and they are brought up beautiful l
enough and worthless enough to be- at,
once the temptation aud ruin Of any
young man W ao may take them to his
arms. 55s S.

Cows and Their Food.

Prof. Stewart. in his new work, calls
attention to the great productiveness oil
the COW. It is subject that we do not
think is often tho ught of. "The cow is
she most remarkable producer among
animals" In former article we stated
that COW that was fit for a breeder.
ought to give at least six thousand
pounds OF milk per annum. Ifsuch q
cow should weigh nine hundred pounds
which are Mr.. Stewards fgures-this
yield would be nearly seven times more
than her own weight; and the COW act
ually produces as food thro ugh her milk
twice as much as the beef animal of the
same weight gains in flesh during the
same time. Now the composition of
to q foreign authority, would
be as follows: Casein and albumen, "a;
pounds; fat or butter, 22S pounds; milk
sugar, 27S pounds; salts or ash, thirty
nine pounds, or dry matter almost eqnal
in weight to that of the COW. The inn
portant p ,int to be observed in this, is
that such large production necessitates
avery large supply Of food. We all
know what Il large consumer of food the
COW is. But it would seem to be .expec.
ted by some that she can live and pro-
duce on comparatively nothing On the
contrary she must first be eupplied with
nutriment. Her milk and its products
are simply the conversion Of the surplus
food that she does not need to supply
The waste of the system, into these pro-
duets. We have often urged good care
and kind treatment of the
onI Frt,<
and treated she must have addi-
tional food to repair the unnecessary
waste. If she is exposed in winter it
will require more food to keep up the
warmth; if she is annoyed, her excited
nervous system will cause additional
wear, just as a rapidly running machine
wears out faster than one that
runs slow. Nervous excitement means
that the animal system is on strain
that IL Is Wearing away more rapidly
than it need to. Under such circum-
stances, therefore, food that might 90 to
make milk, is utilized to repair this
useless waste. It is great deal of fun
Tor dog to worry COW, and it is some
times the case that the owner seems
quite willing that the dog should enjoy
himself in this way. But we do not
propose.to furnish such costly enjoy
ment 10 dogs. We should take
club, if the canine persisted
in that sort of sport, and have little
fun ut his expense. Every bark of Il
dog at the heels of a cow means hand
full of feed wasted; and the economical,
thoughtful farmer vii! conclude that he
has no food to throw away for any such
purpose.
We must, therefore, take good, kind
care of the COW and feed her we'll, and
upon a variety OF food. Milk, as we
all know, is composed of all the e'e-
ments that are found in the human
body. The food, therefore, must con.
tain all these elements. It IS no doubt
familiar fact to the reader, that
milk produced from several varieties of
green fodder will be better than if pro-
ducsd from one, because they differ in
their composition. Green corn is an ex-
cellent fodder for dairy cattle, as far as
it goes. But it is not lit for an exclusive
ration.

JUMBO STRAWBERRIES.
A Dealer Who Expects to See Berries

as Large as Pineappies.
From the New York Morning Journal.
''This is the year of large strawber-
ries," said Mr.. Simeson, of West Wash.
ington Market, to Journalier. Here is
ono that measures thirteen inches in
circumference, and the man who
shipped it to nae picked ninety quarts
from one patch that averaged ten ber-
ries to the quart. But the trouble is we
can't get "a price for them. Those ber-
ries should bring from twenty to forty
cents a quart, and it is hard work to get
fifteen for them, while nearly all the
berries that arrive are double the
usual size, and eight and ten cents a
quart is the best We can get for them.

large as pineapples!"

Young widows.

voltaire, in "Zadig, tells an interesting
story Of how his hero pretended to have
died in order to test the fidelity Of his
widow. The lady wept disconsolately for
q whole day. vowiHR that she could not
survive her lord. On the second day q
handsome young clergyman came to con-
sole her and she wept less; on the third
day she and the divine had already formed
matrimonial projects, which were. only cut
short BY Zadig's timely resurrection. Zadig,
as philosopher, ought to have known bet
ter than to put his wife to q hazardous test;
bat, having done so, he was quite right to
bear his disappointment with the equani-
nifty which he seems to have shown.
