[Gart (Dak) Cor. st. Louis Republican,
In our neighborbood lives a German far
mer named Liebig, who claims to have
made a discovery which seems to me so re-
markable that ] AVE concluded to report 1t
to the press. He is engaged in raising hops
on a small farm, keeps some cows, and seems
TO be doing well. He is quite a scientific
man, and has a diploma from some big agri-
cultural college in Germany, the name OF
which | have forgotten. His neighbors call
him the Latin farmer. This is what he says:
Among his cows is one Of the English breed,
the best mixer in the lot. Some time ago
the milk from her had n bitter taste and
a brownish color, which endered it totally
unfit for use. This gave him considerable dis
tress, and he could not account for it. Later
on he discovered the cause of the trouble.
He saw the animal coming out of his barn.
whore he has his hopkins. Evidently the
COW had been feeding on hops and, naturally,
the milk had acquired the Objectionable taste.
He commenced a series of experiments, the
reasons for which he ave me-, and which
seem quite plausible. His arguments were:
II the food has such a direct influence on the
taste and color of the milk, have we not
the means at hand to give the product any
character we choosei He evidently regards
the animal economy of the COW as a sort OF
chemica laboratory. So he went to work To
produce n drink similar TO beer, and IL his
statements are true las l believe) he sue.
ceeded completely.
He continued 10 feed hops, for which she
had a natural liking, then malt, and then
corn. Grass and hay would not do, because
under it the liquid resumed its natural milky
character. The product under this feeding
WINS a turbid light brown liquid with a sweet,
slightly bitterish taste. Warm from the COW
he adds some yeast, sets il in a warm place
and lets it ferment. This seems to generate a
certain amount of alcohol and the liquid at
the same time becomes clear. If the fermen.
tation is, however, not interrupted at a Ger.
tain stage the stuff gets sour and is nft to
drink He stops the fermentation bv pour.
ing the liquid in n strong jug, corking tightly,
and letting it down in a deep well. Two OF
three days after he draws it up. 1t is then a

licious-to me, a great deal better than most
Of the beer / ave ever tried.

Lonesome up herel lonesome, did We sayl
said a tall, bronzed guide who had just
lighted an afternoon pipe in the camp on
Lake Utowana, in the A~dirondacks. "Why,
gentlemen, you're joking. A man kin never
get that feelin' here, not if he's got any of
the poetry of nature in him, and l hope that
man amt living. Why look round here.
Here are lakes that can't be matched in the
world. See how they reflect the trees, the
flowers and vines. For a background you
have over yonder the blue mountains, and
close in the pines and spruce, their dead
limbs hung with moss, and pointing
all about like arms a-beckonin' YOU
and pointin' out game. Down by the shore
you have to push into the wild rosebushes,
and when you do reach the water there are
the lily pads, and altogether there rises such
a smell of roses, spruce pine and water lilies
that the very fishes jump out of the water to
get a Whit of it. AT night you hear the does
sighin' for the bucks, the splash of the trout,
and perhaps the yell of a panther way back
in the woods. Get lonesome herel No,
Stree"
"You did not preach that last fall, when
the eye-water ave out" said another guide,
who had been a listener to the GRAFTON, "and
l tell you, gentlemen, this poetry of natur'
and snuffin' o. rose bushes never put shoes
on them six children o. mine. When I'm
guidin' at IS a day, I'm chock-full o. poetry,
but when it comes winter, and the city folks
gets out, as they do IL November, I'm for
lightin' out, too.n

Lewiston Mel ,JournaI1

Lewiston me- journal.
The antagonists of modern advanced educa-
ton, il there be any, should nave heard a lit
tie lecture that a gentleman gave on the
street wednesday morning. The question
had arisen as to the tendency of modern ad-
vanced education to create a disgust for man
ual labor. The gentleman told an anecdote.
A young lady who is very well known in
Lewistown and Auburn, and who has had a
liberal education in America, a course of
study in the German schools, and who has
since taught in some of the leading schools of
this state and Others, came home to her fathers
farm this summer. The hours hung rather
heavily. Father, your office needs shingling,n
she said one day. The next day the shingles
were on the spot, and the young lady pro-
posed to have some fun and combine it in a
legitimate way with solid work. She built
the stagings geometrically, ran the lines after
Euclid, and shingled tho office as neatly and
expeditiously as the village professor of shing-
ling himself could ave done. She pulled
down the staging and erected it again over
the ell of the house, and, in spite Of parental
injunction, shingled the ell and a slipping shed
attached. She practiced music for pleasure
in the meantime, however, and read German
for a pastime, Nothing, :" added the gentle
man, would be further from her own inclin-
alton than notoriety.n

Gold by the Chunk.

AAaHNS 11I
One of the richest strikes known to the
mining history of California was made at
the Neville, or Mammoth mine, about three
miles south Of this place, lately. A pocket of
quartz Of almost unparalleled richness was
found less than one hundred feet from the
surface, in which was contained from $751;
900 to 100000 and being about two tons in
quantity. Much of this might justly be
termed huge chunks of gold, instead of gold
bearing quartz. Some of the immense pieces
of almost solid gold were abou as heavy as a
man could easily lift from the ground. The
largest piece was of oval shape, sixteen by
twenty-five inches, and six or seven inches
thick. This gold is almost black, and of the
same character as the former rich strikes
found in the mine, and which have hereto
fore attracted the interest and attention of
all parts OF the United States. We nave no
doubt that this is the richest find of gold OF
this kin ever known in the United States at
one single time.

The head waiter is tho sentry of the dining.

of the guests of the hotel is sent up stairs by
the clerk. On the list is the number OF every
room in the house with the name OF the occu-
pant df any opposite. Tn head waiter
stands by the door and when a guest comes
in he is asked quietly the number of his
foom. He gives it, and the waiter
instantly sends him to a table. Tho man, II
he thinks of it at all, supposes that the num-
Der of his room has something to do with his
seat and passes on. The instant his back
Is turned the head waiter consults his list.
and II the room Of the number given is va
cant, or II it is occupied by some one known
to the waiter, he goes ut once to the man, and
while deftly r~earfunging the napkin or plac-
ing the knives and forks in neat rows, asks
him seductively his name. II that name
fails TO clear away the doubt the clerk is

{" Doubting Dixon leaned against the door

brought about this happy reunion, looked so
pleased and delighted over the success of her

somebody on her own account.

Then Darnley turned and ran into n saloon.
He had missed his man. Cool AM dispassion-
ate, Doubling Dixon, standing outside on the
sidewalk, looked down the long, brilliantly
lighted saloon. He looked along the bright,
shining barrel Of his revolver. At the farther
end OF the saloon crouched Darnley. Cool
an dispassionate, Doubling Dixon took
deadly aim. an down through the ninety
feet Of glittering light and gilded mirrors
he sent n bullet true to the heart of Ben
Darnley."
