The Cow for the Dairy.

Our correspondent who asks us to
give him advice as to the best breed for
the dairy, repeats request which is
often made, and which it is scarcely
possible to comply with. As he OF
course knows, there are distinctively
dairy breeds, and beyond this the selec-.
ton Of cows for the dairy is a matter
that largely concerns the individual
animal. That is true, too, Of even the
dairy breeds, but not to the extent that
it is with the other breeds. The dairy
breeds such as the Jersey, are espe-
cially fitted for dairy purposes, and in
the dairy are profitable. But they are
Of little value beyond that. Now, in
deciding whether or not we will pass
the question of beef, and keep an ami
NAL that is of little value when her
career as a mixer has ended. there are
some nice points to consider. Pound
for pound of butter, the Jersey is the
most valuable animal. Her butter will
bring more in the market than the but
ter Of breeds that are not especially
adapted to the dairy; and her milk
is richer in butter fats than the milk
of these breeds. So far, therefore, the
jersey would seem to have the best of
it. Her yield Of milk is not SO great as
that Of some other breeds, but it is
probably true that she will average as
many pounds of butter as any COW.
Ano then again, she will accomplish
these results upon less quantity Of
food than would be necessary for some
of the other breeds. In deciding
whether we will adopt the Jersey or the
Guernsey or the Attorney, therefore,
we must carefully calculate all these
advantages, and conclude whether they
are sufficient to make simple dairy
cow--one whose usefulness practically
ends when she ceases TO give milk
more desirable than COW that con-
sumcs more food and gives milk that
is less rich and profitable, but is valu-
able for the butchers block, when she
is no longer fit for the dairy. Some
thing, too, will depend upon the par
ticular direction which we are to give
20 our efforts IN the dairy. II the pro-
dustion Of aslarge quantity Of milk is
intended in case Of dairy selling
mI4k--the small dairy breeds are not
what we want. For such purpose there
" no better COW than the Holstein, and
there is no better COW ii the manufac-
turc Of cheese is the object. Westerns

Blind Figuring.

Alblind mathematician Of wonderful
powers is reported by the Hartford
Oourant to be living in Danielsonville,
Conn. His name is Pardon Tillinghast
and heiis entirely blind. Recently his
attention was called to some facts in
regard to the combination of figures
1887. II multiplied by two the pro-
duct is 285,7l4--the same figure and in
the same order, only starting with an
other and changing the first two to the
extreme right. Multiplying by 8, or
s q like result is obtained; that is, the
figures are the same and succeed each
ether i'm similar way. This led to d
careful study of these figures and he
soon found that. preceded by the deci-
maI point they are the decimal eqniva-
lent Of III. He found, too, that this
Is the repetepd Of a repeating decimal.
His thoughts were in this way turned
to the fraction IL, and he performed
mentally the operation of reducing it's
square, Lao, to repeating decimal,
having repetend Of AZ places six
times as many as that Of II. Then he
took the cube of IL, equal to 1,343,
and performed the prodigious feat Of
turning this into a repeating decimal
whose rcpetend has 294 figures, or six
times as many as that of l-49. All this,
of course, without mark to aid the
calculation or the memory. 1t filed
leisure hours Of number Of days. He
would work the division ten places at
one operation, holding in memory the
result, including the remainder, for
Lours or days, till he could work the
next ten, end so till he had the entire
repetend. The necessity for frequent
provings Of his work added to its COM
pIication. The mathematicians of those
parts doubt whether his mental effort
has ever been excelled. at any rate by
\ blind man.

The Dentist.

We never enter q dentists studio
without feeling uneasy. Not that we
have any teeth which we cannot easily
remove without his aid, but still we are
awe-struck in his presence. II appears
that our teeth have gone into COM
mittee of the whole and move by pla-
toons; SO we are not afraid of sudden
and unexpected attack on any stray
glers, still we remember what time
we once had with the old, back-number
teeth, and vince in sympathetic MEM
DRY. The rooms Of these artists in
bicuspids and molars are no places for
quiet and cosy little chats on The follies
of the day, or the lighter and more
frivolous topics of society.
The conscience of a dentist must be
something like that of champion
butcher, who kills and strings up his
victim, ready-dressed for the market,
in three minutes by stop-watch, Chi
cago time. A thoroughly good dentist
should be man with nerves like chilled
steel, and heart like live-oak. Some of
the dentists with whom we are on speak
ing terms are oily fellows, with hands
softas dudes Uranium, and seductive
voice like that of drug clerk. He
will meet you at the door wrapped in a
winning smile and a spotted dressing
gown, and talk as soothingly as could
speculator in mining stocks, and he
will inveigle you into the high-backed
inquisitorial chair, and lie to You about
the pain, and root around your sore and
throbbing gums with his thumb-nail,
and all the time smiling like an OK
eyed violet. The next thing you know
trouble will commence. He will slim
on a pair of highly-polished forceps;
there will be an uncomfortable desire on
your part to open wide your mouth and
howl. A short, decisive jerk, your
poor head will fall back on the chair,
and your mouth will be full Of freshly
distilled blood; your eyes will be brim-
ming with tears, and a miscellaneous
variety of cuss words will be struggling
Tor utterance in your larnyx.
But 1t is the old-fashioned dentist, the
country doctor of the crossroads, who
used to grin like cannihal whenever
he saw a victim approach his office-he
is the one who used to fill the apple of
our youthful eye. He was terror.
He who has never been put through the
agonizing evolutions of a tooth-pulling
drill in the back room Of his Office,
does not know what fun il. He has
missed several great opportunities.
This rural tooth-carpenter used 10 per-
petrate his fendish work in one time
and two motions. If the patient could
not keep his head steady, the dentist
would lay his head on the floor and
hold it down with his knee. And il the
man got alive to his family, who had
parted from him with sorrowful appre-
tensions, the members would meet him
with congratulations, and fried chicken
and biscuits that he was unable to eat.
This ancient gladiatoriaI dentist was
as remorseless in his operations as a
lynching mob. He had no sympathy
at all for patient. To him tooth
ache was q sardonic joke. And whom
he threw man on the floor, put his
knee on his chest and the turkeys on
the wrong tooth and Strengthened him.
self, it did seem as though the last end
of that man had come, and was a great
deal worse than the first - Texas Sift-

THE LITTLE QUAKEREss.

Brown-eyed Ruth.the Quaker slaughter,
In her dress of simple gray,
walked beside her quiet grandpa
Mid the garden flowers Of May.
Beds Of tulips bright and golden.
Hyacinths OF every shade. ~ IS
Pansies, like sweet childish faces
Looking up TO greet the maid.
How they revel in the sunshine.
While mid cluups of violets blue
Filling all the air with fragrance,
Glistencd still the morning dew.
Then outspoke the little maiden.
Looking at her dress of gray,
"Grandpa, can thee tell the reason
Why God made the flowers so gay,
"while We wear the quiet colors
That thee knows we never meet.
Zen In clover or the daisies
That we trample under feet.
"Seems to me Quaker garden
Should not grow such colors bright
kc9ulehly the brown eyes twlnkled,
While her grandpa laughed outright.
.sssue Il n, my little daughter,
Flowers wear not the Quaker gray:
But they neither toll nor labor
For their beautiful array.
Feeling neither pride nor envy.
'Mong their sister flowers, thee knows,
Well content to be daisy,
Or . tall and qucenly rose.
Excepting still the same old fashions
OF their graDdmothers of yore;
Else how should we know the flowers
II each spring new tints they bore?
Even tie Qunker maiden
Should be all content to-day,
As4 tulip or pansy,
Mhtx dress Of slmpie gray"
One again the brown eyes twinkled;
"Grandpa, thee is always right;
So thee sees, BY thy own showing,
Some may dress In colors bright.
Those whom thee calls worldly people,
In their purple and their gold,
Are no gayer than these pansies
Or their grandmothers of old.
Yet thee knows am contented
With this quiet life of ours,
Still, for all, Tn glad, dear grandpa,
That there are no Quaker flowers.

for the two rear cars of the train. lie said that
Trenhaft Just grasped the gate of the car as
it passed the end Of the platform. He said
he could not get the man aboard, as there was no
time and his weight kept the gate closed. In
almost time the man was jerked from
the platform and then lost his hold ana
fell in the street. According to the brakeman. he
had the gate closed before the German reached It,
A brakeman is not allowed to open the gates after
