A Bright Tailor.

As the question of honorary colonel
cies is at present attracting consider
able attention it may not be out OF
place to recall the origin of the custom
of bestowing them. Frederick the
Great, of Prussia, at one period of his
life was in debt to his tailor to a con-
siderable amount, and that worthy, de-
spairing of payment. devised an ingen-
ious method of squaring accounts.
He obtained an audience of the King,
and called his attention to the numbers
OF FOREIGN potentates who visited his
court These personages, he repre-
scented, would doubtless be much graft
fed If Frederick would create them
Generals and Colonels in his redoubt-
able army; a uniform would be neces-
sary. and If the King would let him
have the order he would at once cancel
his bill. Frederick consented, and the
tailor speedily reeouped his losses out
OF the uniforms he made for foreign
grandees. London Truth.

A Prospector's Opinion Of Alaska.

Ed. Schieffelin, the veteran prospect
or, came off as soon as the Corwin had
anchored. A reporter found him, and
he cheerfully told some of the details of
bis trip. He says the country up there
does not suit him, and, in his opinion,
although there is plenty of gold there,
it will never be great mining country,
as it is too cold and inaccessible. They
found the precious metal in paying
quantities about one thousand miles
from the Yukon River, in district that
is full of springs. He thinks they av-
eraged thirteen dollars day while they
worked, but that was not long. They
found the place October 8, 1882, and on
the 18th everything froze up solid and
they skated all round the claim. The
mercury in winter falls to fifty-five de-
grees, and often lower. There are only
about three months that gold can be
washed, from May to August. There is
not so much timber as is generally sup
posed, and it is of poor quality. The
members of his party, Saucebrey, For
roster, and Young, besides himself and
and his brother, all kept in excellent
health. They were joined last June by
other young men, George Spangenberg,
Tom Reynolds, and John McGrew, who
came overland with dogs. and all except
FORESTER came down on the Corwin.
They Joined the cutter at st. Michaels,
at the mouth of the Yukon. The little
steamer New Racket was sold, and For
rester, the engineer, remained with it.
Schieffelin is not going back, and as yet
has no plans.
Schieffelin looks IN the best possible
health. He is stout and ruddy checked,
with long brown hair reaching over his
shoulders, and his brown beard, that has
not seen razor many years, extends far
down his picturesque and serviceable
blue flannel shirt.-San Francisco Bul-

Important to the Public - well ~ the
Medical Profession.
Hal's Journal Of Health, referring to
Consumption, makes the following import
ant statement:
Consumption usually begins with .
slight, dry cough in the morning, then on
going to bed, getting more and more fire.
quent, with more and more phlegm, in
creasing debility, thinness of flesh, short
ness of breath. and quickness of pulse. In
fatal cases its average course is about two
years; hence the Importance of arresting
the disease at as early stage as possible,
and the sooner rational means are employed
for this purpose the greater the chance Of
success. The disease is owing to an irrita.
tion commencing in the throat and extend
ing to the lungs, so that their action Is in
terferred with, and the blood does not re-
ceive sufficient oxygen to purify it. The
most marked sign of lung disease is emacia-
ton; and the most positive indication Of
retuI ming health Is increase in weight"
So speaks Halls Journal Of Health, and
we may add that in desperate cases, and,
In fact, in all cases Of Consumption, or
trc ubles of the throat and lungs, immediate
relief may be obtained and q permanent
cure effected by the use Of DR.. VIM. Halls
Balsam for the Lungs, q medicine known

ing remedy for coughs, colds, bronchitis and
all pulmonary and pectoral diseases. That
the worst cases of Consumption have been
cured by the use of Halls Balsam has been
attested to by the thousands who have used
1t, or have been cognizant of its wonderful
remedial efficacy.

The Ensilage Question.


A Kansas correspondent wri.ss that
no has not been favorably inclined to
ward eDsilage, because he has been led
to share the Rurals prejudice against
II. Our correspondent mistakes the
position Of the Rural. We are not
preludiced against ensilage. We have
advised only caution in adopting the
system. The most extravagant claims
have been made for il. One man writes
that he has farmed for over thirty years
on the farm he now occupies, and that
for over twenty years he never sold o
ton OF hay off the farm, but fed all he
raised to keep up the flow of milk in his
dairy during the Winter. Then he
adopted ensilage, and the first year sold
over hundred tons Of hay, fed nothing
but ensilage, and that his stock was in
as good condition, and the flow of milk
just as good, as when he fed hay and
grain together Now we do not know
what his ensilage cost him, but upon
the face Of his statement he appears to
make ont grand case for the system.
Certainly we are not prepared to say
. that any portion of what he states Is not
true. We presume il is true. But even
this case, and the many others similar
TO 1t, do not warrant us, we think. in
saying 10 Western farmers, that ensi-
age Is the undoubted and unimpeded
road to wealth. If any one wishes to
experiment with the system, there can
be no possible objection to his doing so.
But we can conceive of well-detined
objection to anybody going into it on
large scale, until he has fully tested it,
and counted all the cost We have no
doubt that ensilage food is a good food,
and while there are some who deny that
it is, we confess that we have never
seen anything TO convince us that the
denial was well founded. At least, there
is very much more in its favor than
there is against it. But that is not the
whole case. by any means The ques-
ton Is: cannot the same results be
reached by cheaper methodist Our read
ers know that our preference is for the
sugar beet. We believe that better re-
suits can be reached through feeding
the sugar beet, and at a reduced ex-
pense But, Of course, we must plead
inexperience. We have fed ensilege,
and all we know about it, others tell us.
1t is serious question in our mind if
our crops on our Western farms can be
ensilaged with profit. But the proof
of the pudding is in eating it, and any
one who wishes to try it can construct
a cheap silo and make the experiment.
