ImpOrtance of Small 1ndusrriea,

Speaking in Congress the other day of the need of encouraging small indus tries, Senator Miller referred to the city of New York, the greatest manufactur- ing city in America-he might have said in the world-and ''yet she has not 8 cotton mill, blast furnace, or rolling mill within her borders. Her manufac- tories are small he said "but they en- ploy more than quarter of million of people"
 It is worthy of notice in this connec- tion that while recent patents have much to do with the means and methods of the great staple industries, such as steel and iron production, iron milling, cotton and woolen manufacture and the like, the smaller yet in the aggregate im- mensely important industries are almost wholly based upon and due to the de- velopment of recently patented inven- tions. -TScisntiAe Amssiean.

SOLID SHEEP.

Fifty years ago there lived near the Congregational church at East Canaan two carpenters by names of Abraham Hing and Daniel Briggs. Captain King was very pronounced kind of man in speech and manners and his spirited cry of "bowse away" to the men at rais- ing would spur every man to lift his ut most, as they frequently had occasion to 1o in those days when heavy timber was used and a raising was quite an event in a neighborhood.
 At one of these gatherings Captain King got expatiating on the amount of tallow yielded by fat sheep which he mad recently slaughtered and claimed that no such sheep had ever been raised in Canaan before or would be again. Ihe sheep was large one and the Cap tain with his brusque ways and strong self assertion took good care to have it pass for all it was worth. After giving reasonable time for those present to digest so remarkable 8 statement MT Briggs said he would like to have them guess on sheep that he knew about, one that was killed a few years before in Taunton where he came from. "The man that owned it had 8 small place and did not keep the sheep (which was a small one) very well during the win ter and it came out poor in the spring. lie turned 1t out and it had such pick. Ing as it could get around. They did not feed it much ofanything but let ii pick for itself and about the first of No vember they killed it and how much tai low do you think it had?'' Well the crowd commenced fgureing how much fat could be put on in day and how many days after it was out before it was killed and guessed from 10 pounds up to 5( pounds. Occasionally MT Briggs would caution them to remember that it was poor in the spring and then they would put on few more pounds Until they finally got up to 100 pounds or more Finally after they had all guessed, some one asked MT Briggs how much it act ually had ? to which he replied II don know exactly but guess not but tar nal little" VER1rAs.

"The Liberty Question, commonly
so-called, as an argument against the
legal suppression of the liquor traffic,
affords an example of perverted truth.
We claim liberty of thought and speech
and action. Our claim is a sound one,
but we must remember that liberty can
only be secured by the suppression of
tyranny. Liberty for that which is
good can only be attained by restrict
ing the liberty of that which is bad.
Honest men can freely walk the street
in safety, because law prevents the dis
honest man S interference with another'S
purse, life or character Here law pro-
tects liberty, by restricting liberty. You
do not plead for freedom for the poison
Gus snakes in the grass on which your
children play. You want no liberty for
wild beasts or mad dogs about your
home; but you protect your children's
liberty by destroying what would inter-
fere with its exercise. If the strong
drink traffic binders and counteracts
the purifying and ennobling work of
church and school and home, then you
can have liberty for church and school
and home only by destroying what mil
itates against their success, hampers
every step they take, and undoes what
they nave already accomplished. Good
and evil are eternally antagonistic, one
can exist only at the others expense,
and "Freedom for the right means sup
preston of the wrong" liberty for vir-
tue means prison bars for crime; and
when the grandest ideal of freedom pre-
walls supreme, every man will have the
right to do what he chooses, only as far
as he chooses to do what is right

lowing the toes and quarters to grow to

seen during the winter in many stables.
Another source of trouble is caused by
allowing colts to stand in manure and
filth until thrush gets into the cleft of
the frog, which is liable to result in con-
traction at the heels. To keep the feet
healthy, the colts should have yard to
run in when the weather is pleasant.
The box stalls should be kept dry, clean,
well lighted and ventilated, and should
be well bedded, so that the feet will not
stand on the hard floor. If it pays TIC
