From the Cleveland Leader.
"Give me straight whisky" The
speaker was tall, well-formed, nicely
dressed man, but his voice was harsh,
and as he grasped the bottle set before
him and attempted to pour some of its
contents into glass, his hand trembled
violently. Clearing his throat several
times during the operation, he filled his
tumbler TO the brim, and throwing back
his head, turned the fiery liquor down
his throat at one swallow. THAT man
is a hard drinker," said the bar-keeper.
"He always drinks whisky straight, just
as you saw him do. He must have it.
Now, there are lots of men who are
daily visitors at this bar, and they
wouldn't for the world have their friends
know that they drink. There is always
some reason why they want drink

shipped from the lake about IA QUO tons,
and in 1881 the amount was about the
same. Last year the product reached
about $1,000 tons, making for .he three
years $4,000 tons This at So per ton
makes 1000 This vast quantity WAS
all collected by solar eyaporation-a sys-
tenn costing very little to operate.
The manner of collecting salt at the
lake consists simply in first selecting a
suitable space, where the shore is so low
as to overflow at times. This overflow
may result from rise in the lake by the
influx of fresh water in the spring and
early summer, or by the wind blowing
in one direction for several days, caus-
ing the water to "bank up and overflow
the lagoons or low shore lands. Such
lands having been prepared by throw
ing up low walls to retain the water
when once in, these walls having open
ings 10 permit its flow, thus retaining
the brine. In sucha climate as this, the
water soon evaporates. leaving the salt
in white crystals covering the bottom of
the basins, and it is an easy matter TO
break these up with snovels and load in
to wagons for the market.

The Queens own purse, holding some
thing over $3.50, GOO q year, is not much
used, and as the sums it has had have
been accommodating for years, and she
has herself specialized not little, the
result is evident. and her wealth is al
ways growing. She never pays Tor travel

she receives the free pass from the OBJ
sequious railway men with omen hand.
Her personal servant, john Brown, was
very.rieh, too. He had bank account in
London alone of nearly 81 100000. He
is the principal depositor both at Coutt's
and at Goslings, and he held several
handsome properties in his own
name. Her Majesty has been very gen
erous to him, and giving him money and
lands with great liberality. have often
seen Mr.. Brown. When from time to
time officers of the late campaign have
been decorated at Windsor, only jour
nalists who have served as war CORE
spondents have been admitted to the
ceremony, / have, therefore, had sew
eral opportunities TO witness the investi-
ture of most unheroic soldiers with I'M
won hOnors at the hands of their SOW
er0ign. John Brown always accompan-
les her, standing little behind and TO
the left Tail, square, sharp-leatured,
with fine blue ewes, and really good
head, with a pleasant demeanor. and
very thin legs, he stands serious and at
tentive behind the chair which he has
watched and guarded over for
nearly forty-five years. Mr.. Brown
was credited with great per-
sonal bravery On three occasions
when her maiesty's life has been at
tempted he has distinguished himselfby
his well-directed efforts to protect the
queen, and on one occasion successful
endeavor to hold the would-be assassin.
With the household servants Brown is
naturally enough unpopular. He enjoys
the confidence of the queen, and rules
the household with rod Of iron. SO far
as he may. He was an authority on court
etiquette. a linguist, speaking half a
dozen languages fiuently, a classical
scholar as well, and student of politics.
/ have never heard what his origin was,
beyond the fact that he is Scotch beyond
a doubt, and has been in the service of
the royal family since boyhood. Rumor
gives it that the prince of Wales hates
him like poison, and declines to meet
him except when forced to do so by roy
al command. There are stories ahoat

The Sherman Diamonds.

Washington Letter to Philadelphia Press.
Do YOU know, Mr.. Editor, what has
become of the peck OF diamonds that
was presented to Miss Sherman now
Mrs. Fitch, by the khedive of Egypt Sc
veral years ago, when Gen. Sherman
and his daughter visited the glorious
east? You may remember the then khe-
dive was one of the wisest and best in
formed rulers of the world, and he
watched our civil war with the eye OF a
soldier and statesman. Therefore he
knew Sherman, tie simple, modest old
soldier, who knew what was in him and
what he had done. The khedive paid
our old warrior unprecedented atten-
ton. and, to more properly show his
liking for him, the ruler of the nation
sent the warriors daughter diamonds
enough to decorate queens drawing
room. What has become OF theml 1
will tell you. They were kept locked up
in the custom house or some other safe
place until they became a nuisance 10
everybody. Mrs. Fitch could not wear
them because they we're more snowy
than any lady in the United States
could produce, and besides they invited
thieves and robbers. But, above all,
the Shermans took no pride in them:
The Sherman family is not a diamond
family. They are by no means poor, but
they hate display, and do not care TO
masquerade in diamonds. They stand
on their own flnilies-the Sherinans
and the Ewings-and they are worth
all the diamonds of the world. But l
started to tell you what became OF
the diamonds. and | will resume. Alter
many years of anxiety and annoyance,
the family not knowing what to do with
them, the diamonds were sent to Hi
fanv. The stones were taken
from their crude Egyptian settlng
and examined. Many of them
were not the gems that they were taken
for, can tell you. However, Tiffany
fixed them up and they were found to be
very valuable-worth probably $4,000
or more. Gen. Sherman has four daugh-
ters-Miss Lizzie, Mrs. Fitch, Mrs.
Thackara, and Miss Rachel. The dla-
monds were divided by Tiffany equally
among the daughters-four sets OF soli-
loire ear rings and four necklets. Moth
ing so strong can be said about the SIM
ulicitY of the Sherman family as to re-
cord the fact that none of the khediye
diamonds have yet been worn; and That
they are vet more ola burden than
pleasure, Notwithstanding the fact that
they are more beautiful than youWill see
in almost any drawing room.

No Grain for Month Before Cary
ing

A late Rural says in "Querist," "Give
no grain food whatever to COW for four
weeks before calving." Would bran and
shorts beinjurious to heifer giving four
quarts day now-about month be-
fore calving? She is fine half Jersey
three-year-old. Her mother, ten-year-
old, made 1-2 pounds of butter a day,
and my heifer is likely to surpass her.
ANs.-A COW OF this kind should be
dried off at least month before calving
and one way to do this is to stop giving
any kind of grain food. Nearly every
case of garget or Inflammation in newly
calved cows may be traced to over-feed-
ing before they come in. Therefore as
means of safety we repeat, give no grain
food whatever to COW for month be-
fore she comes in; and especially to a
large or rich mixer. The writer has
practiced this for many years, and has
never lost calf or had case of garget
or any other trouble with calving COW.

so low as that.

We take two significant facts from the
records of the Connecticut institution

says: 1T is gratifying 10 note the bene-
fetal change in the conduct of some
patients soon after awakening their in
terest in garden work"
Farmers poultry are too closely, lin
bred, which makes them weakly and
impotent, and they are cal eless about
the old hens. Young hens will lay
three or four times as many eggs, and
the male birds should be changed at
least every other year, introducing new
blood. In no case should male be al
lowed to breed with his own offspring.
Very few farmers consider these things,
and hence poor returns.
Colonel Curtis gives the following
warming to dairymen: "a fatal error has
run through all the breeding ofthe past,
among dairymen, and is still very gener-
ally continued. 1t is lack of proper
selection of males to breed from. If a
dairyman has an extra good cow. he is
pretty sure to save her heifer calves.
which very seldom turn out to be as
the dam. The COW herself may be an
accident, and greatly lack the power to
impress her good qualities on her off
spring Added TO this is the fact tho
one-half of the blood in the offspring
may be that of a villainous scrub male,
and is almost always that of an inferior
or very Indifferent bull. The cow alone
is depended on to give value to the calf"
