L'EIE DAILY Argus.

The queen of England is escorted by
the police when she travels through the
country, so that she MAY be free from
danger at the hands of bloodthirsty in
vincibles. She is in no danger whatever,
but the tories are anxious to rivet the
chains of the Irish people stronger, if
possible, than they now are. by passing
the most odious and exacting laws that
have ever disgraced the statute books OF
any civilized nation, and in order to do SC
must work up the public sentiment to
such pitch of ind gnation that its good
judgment will be blinded by hate and
prejudice. This is the reason for all this
display of fear when there is no cause fol
it whatever, as is well known by British
officials.

Two adjoining fields, of ten acres

same kind of soil, upland clay, and
both received the same kind of treat
ment at same time. The same guam

BILLIARD parlor proprietors will I'M
doubtedly be pleased to learn that a
Western genius has perfected device
for registering the time and price of
billiards. 1t is in the form of a clock
and begins to work automatically as
soon as the balls are put on the table
and stops when they ore removed. The
most conspicuous merit of the invention
is that it can register s25 worth of bill
iards for every table. 1t can be
adapted to 90 or GO cents an hour, or
any other price. BY this device the
proprietor of the room can tell to a
cent what his tables earn during given
time. The clock has not yet been
placed on the market.

Bread Making.

Bread is and has been the staff of
life" from the earliest ages. 1t is there
fore important that every good house
keeper should know how to make it,
understanding the principles as well as
the art. We are told by good authority
that one can live on good bread-that
made of the whole products of the
wheat-and water, though it is not
needful CT wise to be limited to so mar
row range of food, yet it is quite
probable that the result would be more
favorable than that of the present
diet.
Good bread is a wholesome article,
but that which is "soggy"-or half-made
and half baked-is unfit for the human
stomach. And since the digestibility
and wholesomeness of bread depends
so much on knowledge and skill, it is
far more important that the average
grl should be early taught just how to
make it, and with certainty, than it IS
for her to learn smattering of music,
French, Spanish, ETC., though education
is always safe, the most important NAV
we'll be first secured. The masses now
know but little of the philosophy and
chemistry of bread making. 1t is an
art and science. We may be as GER
tain of success in it, under favorable
circumstances, as in cooking steak,
boiling potatoes, or making garment.
There is no "luck" about it knowledge
and fidelity are as available in this as
in any other department of industry.
Success is dependent upon knowledge,
skill and effort. When good and whole
some bread is made, it is no difficult
matter to have it the most prominent
and valuable article of food, which
favors a simplicity of diet. Nature de-
lights in such simplicity-the whole
range of the animal and vegetable
world being composed of few simple
elements, mainly of four-oxygen,
hydrogen, nitrogen and carbon, the
last element being added to the consti-
tuents of air and water. The lower
orders of creation subsist on few
articles for each creature, man only
ransacking creation in quest OF variety,
which, with general sin, has reduced
the term of human life down TO an in
gnfcant period, as compared with
ancient longevity. An author has sa d ::

Lewis, died in New Orleans few days
ago at the age of So years. She was a
a remarkable woman and had q remark
able career. A native of Louisiana
while it was Spanish province, she

Whales milk is now highly recon-
mended for certain diseases. The only
difficulty that we can sea in carryinl
ont the idea is in getting the milk.
Who will milk the whale? Nobody
has ever tried it, and it isn't know
whether or not the moral nature Of til,
whale will permit such liberties beinl
taken. OF course if you could get
whale of goed disposition, one that is
kind and aflectionate by nature, there
would be no difficulty but suppose you
run across whale that is vicious and
Just as you get the pail full of milk she
flaps her tail around and catches you in
the eye. and then steps in the pail ?
Though come to think of it, whale
couldn't step in the pail because she
hasn't any feet-but we don't know as
that makes any difference either, for a
yardsticl has three feet and it can't
step in a pail. But really and truly
and no joking, we don't see how this
whale milk industry is to be cultivated.
Su pose a man wants to go into it for
speculation, and he advertises IN
advance that he will supply whales
milk to all kinds of invalids at lowest
prices, with reduced rates to clubs. 1t
will be his object of course to keep
stock of thoroughbred whales, though
grades would not be undesirable. In
order to get the best stock he would
have to send vessel after his whales
and lasso brood in their watery fast
nesses. Then he'd tow them into port
and fix up a whale orchard-for of
course they couldn't be kept on land at
first, though after time they might be
crossed with Jersey or Durhams and a
land breed developed that would be
valuable. Then the only way they
could be MIXED, as it looks to us,
would be by diver, and as sure as you
live if q stranger went poking Around o
whale in suit of diving armor he'd be
certain TO tickle her, and that would
make her laugh, which would be liable
to curdle the milk. 1t alv avs curdles
a whales milk when she laughs, so we
are informed by those versed in whale
ology. But suppose the diver escaped
the tickling-and OF course he could do
this, after he got used TO it-how could
he milk into pail under water? The
water would run into the pail in that
case as freely as it does in ordinary
milking on land, and the result would
be milk like that in every day use, with
possibly not quite so much water.
Nobody is more friendly than we to new
industries of this character, and We are
glad to encourage anything that will
ameliorate the condition of invalids,
but the whale milk business strikes us
as being a trife far-fetched. Better
leave the whale to furnish stitfening
for women's dreSs-waists and lets its
milk accomplishments remain unculti-
waited. -ROckldnd Courier Gazette.
