Kentucky Presenting a Claim.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Ex-Governor Proctor
Knott, of Kentucky, arrived in the city to-day.
His business here is in relation to claims of Ken
lucky against the general government for arms,

that in making provision for the payment OF
claims of this character held by various States
Congress omitted TO allow Kentucky what is
held TO be her rightful dues. The Governor in
tends TO confer tomorrow with the Secretary OF
the Treasury as to the best means OF getting the
claim of his State adjusted

Spain as "A Great Power.
onthly for December.

Demorests Monthly for December.
In times past Spain was the most
powerful nation in Europe. Charles
V. when he reigned had no peer among
the rulers of his time, but for the last
hundred years the Castilan monarchy
has fallen from lis former high estate
aud has not been admitted into the
councils of the great Powers of Europe.
Ihis has been calling to the pride of
the Spaniards, who are intensely in
terested in many of the questions which
come up for settlement. A matter
vitality affecting Spain is the proposed
division Of North, TN Africa France has
absorbed Algeria and Tunis, England
is dominant in the n le country, while
Italy has set up claim for the re-
version of Tripuli. Ii this absorption
OF North Africa is to continue, Spain
proposes to annex Morocco, which
was more than once subject to the
sway of the Spanish Moors. The re-
cent visit of A phonso to Germany and
Austria was to claim for Spain vote
in the grand council of European pow
ers, and, it is und, rstood that she will
reafier have n vote on matters ditect-
ly affecting her interests. This is in
tended as blow ut france, and ex-
plains the rage of the Parisians at the
king of Spain's acceptance of
colonecy of German Uhlans. A recogni-
tion of Spain means an adverse in
tluence to France in Northern Africa.
Bismarck shows great genius in lsolat-
ing France from the rest of Europe.
When Tunis was seized the Jealousy of
the Italians was aroused against the
French Republic. One would suppose
that the Latin nations, France, Italy
and Spain, would form au alliance to
counteract the growth of the German
power in Central Europe; but Bismarck
has ingeniously managed To set both
Italy and SPAIN against France and
thus minimize the influence of the latter
in the councils of Europe. The French
people realize this, and their hatred of
the Germans recalls the passionate dis
like of the CarthaginaDs against the
Romans, who eventually conquered
them. If the French people thought
they had ghost of q chance, they
would 90 to war with Germany to-
morrow. A terrible conf ct is in
evitable some time or other, but the

Demorest's Monthly for December.
This is the name of an electrical in.
strument for recording speech auto
matte tlly. 1t was first exhibited by M.
Grntllle at the Vienna Electrical Ex-
hibition. A small apparatus is placed
in the mouth of the speaker, in contact
with the roof of his mouth, his tongue
and lips; and, on being connected with
an electro magnetic registering APP
paratus, the sounds are committed TO
paper. 1t is constructed in such a
manner as not TO cause any incon-
venience to the speaker; neither is it
necessary that the voice should be
raised, as it reproduces a whisper as
exactly as a shout; the only condition
is a correct and distinct articulation.
According to the inventors calcula-
ton, it will be possible to write four or
five times as fast by means of the glosso.
graph as has hitherto been possible
even by the quickest writer. At first
sight it appears rs if this invention
were but an improvement upon Edi-
sons S phonograph; it is, however, Of
much older date. 1t rests, unlike the
former, on an acoustic principle, and
does not reproduce the sounds in q
microscOpical form. The chief obstacle
to the introduction OF the glosSograph,
saws the Pail Mall Gazette, will be the
difficulty in deciphering the characters,
but it is not impossible that with the
help of second automatic apparatus
the characters produced by the glasso
graph may be translated into our COM
mon typewriting. The orthography
would doubtless appear strange, but in
these days of phonetic spelling this
might not long he a hindrance.

DefOrmed Love.

Mary Ann had fell desperately in
love with dude, but the imitation Of
man had found out that the girl was
not so much an heiress rs he had sup
posed, and his love for her cooled
down about forty degrees. In fact his
love for the homely dudine had fled
forever, and of course, she became
distracted in body and mind. She
loved him devotedly and she shed
many bitter tears over his cold blooded
manner of speech.
She did not derive much consolation
from her mother, when she appealed
to her for sympathy.
The old lady gave her little encour-
agement though when she said:
MARY Ann, never did 90 much on

silage and double the number of cattle
on their farms. Scientists can not

Bear in mind that wool, like all ami
NAL product, is made from food.
In the British market 400 and 100
pounds are the standards for beef and
mutton carcasses.
Black COWS seldom prove to be good
general purpose ones, though of course
there are exceptions.
The Dalrymply farm produced 150,-
OOO bushels OF wheat and 10000 bush
els of oats this year.
The Baldwin apple is favorite in
Ohio. 1t bears young and seldom
misses season without crop.
Farmers should not contine their
hogs to corn as the only fattening
food. Other grain should be given for
variety's sake.
In England the average butter yield
OF Jersey Is from six To seven pounds
per week, according TO the London
Live Stock Journal
In the Liverpool mutton market the
oarcasses of choice long g-wooled sheep
sell at II cents per pound, while those
OF Merino sheep command but 13 to IA
cents.
1t is thought that the export trade in
apples this year will be very light,
owing To che fact that because of the
full crop in England, prices are lower
than here.
Sweet corn fed to swine will afford
return in pork fully equal to its value
in any other direction. The hogs will
eat stalks as well as ears, and appears
to relis it highly.
An Ohio farmer has found that a
bushel of timothy contains over 55,-

in England, the prices realized were
very low, on account of the fact that
the foot and mouth disease was prev
alent in the vicinity OF the sac. Tue
average price was 5000.
The centrifugal process OF making
butter is becoming quite popular. A
machine now in use in Pennsylvania
has capacity of about 1000 pounds
of milk per hour, aud is run by water
power at speed of nearly 1000 revolu-
tions per minute.
To produce the best quality of NJ eat,
feed regularly. Irregular feeding
causes an accumulation of fat on the
inside of the animal, where it can be
