ELECTIONS MoNDAY.-The elections
were held Monday in Ohio, Indiana,
Michigan and Iowa. In the general
confusion of politics consequent upon
the political shake up of last year, the
Republicans have made marked gains.
Columbus, Ohio, for instance, :" Dem
ocratic city," which hardly ever fails
to give Democratic majority, Monday
elected the whole Republican ticket.
Toledo also which went Democratic
last Fall, has elected Republican
Mayor. Cincinnati, which last year
gave Democratic majority of from o.
600 to 5000, divided the hOnors, elect
ing, it is thought, Democratic Mayor
and a Republican Comptroller. In
Michigan the Democrats, by the aid OF
the Greenbackers, elected one Supreme
Court Judge while the Republicans
elected the other. Michigan, it will be
recollected, took regular flop over
into the lap of the Democracy llaas1
year. F"

For the Happiness Of Home.
From Clergyman's Home Comes a
Message Containing the Wisdom
of Experience.

Home is the centre of the social system. From
It proceed the best and purest influences felt in
the world, and towards il gravitates the tenderest
hopes of humanity For it all good men labor
while their working days last, and around it
their last thoughts linger lovingly when those
days are DONE
Yet home does not usually approach in practice
its own ideals. The mother is OVertaXed with
household duties and the rearing and training of
her children, while the father fights the outside
battle to win the wnerewithal to meet expenses.
Sooner or later care and toll leave their marks.
II is true enough, as Kingsley sings in the Three
Fishers" that
Men must work, and women must weep"
but too much working and weeping brush all the
bloom from iife's fruit
Mental anxiety and lack of rest and pleasure
the need of a trustworthy tonic to give help and
strength in times of need. Among the good
women of the land who have found such a sure
anchor is Mrs. A. c. George, wife of Rev. A. c
George, D. D., pastor of the Centenary NJ. f
Church, of Chicago, whose words we have heI
permission to quote:

Breeding Stock.

1t is a settled principle among
stock breeders of the present day,
and the idea is not new one, that
breeding animals when both sire and
dam are Just coming to maturity, or
rather before they are matured, has
tendency 10 deteriorate the off
spring. 1t may do to put old mares
to young stations, or the order may
be reversed, and stallion well along
in his teens if sound would not be
Objectionable to render service to a
young mare, and the same as re-
CARDS o.her live stock; yet the Off
spring OF middle aged parents of all
animal creation is generally stronger
and better as regards physical abil-
| ity, than that from very old or
very young parents.
We think the practice of some of
breeding from their young heifers,
their calves raised and these again
allowed to become parents at an
early age, wrong, and one which will
tell upon the size and stamina of
stock. As. regards developing the
milking qualities ofcows by having
them come in at an early age we
think the testimony of careful
breeders is highly in favor of this
plan.
In breeding for dairy purposes it
is an object to breed so as to stimu-
late the mammary gland to activity,
and if We neglect to do this too long
there may be tendency in the an
iinal to store fat rather than to make
milk. This matter of breeding so as
to retain and increase the milking
qualities of our dairy stock, and still
have them retain their size and har-
dy, healthy organization, are nice
points to animal physiology, and a
subject worthy of consideration by
! farmers.
As rule we think the tendency
TO breed from young animals is to
check growth, and hence d gradual
decline in size. This it may be ar
gued is not SO great an objection for
dairy stock. The farmer as a rule
cannot afford to deteriorate the size
of his stock running for specially
of interest in his farming operations.
1t is stock which combines the quail
tiles of making milk in the COWS
when run for the dairy, and is valu-
able for beef after her past useful
ness as a butter maker, and in the
meantime will raise some male
calves which attain large size as
steers and oxen, which the farmers
want.
1t is the practice of some to have
the heifers of milking stock come in
at less than two years of age. Such
heifers will not make large cows or
even attain to the average size of the
breed to which they belong, and the
tendency is when the practice is
continued to retrograde from gener-
alton to generation, whereas our
practice should tend decidedly in
the other direction. Stock of deci-
dedly milking qualities, to adopt a
mean rule avoiding either extreme,
might be bred in, the heifers to come
in at two years or before they are
three, not using the bull until two
years old, at least, and better if not
until three years of age.

Texas Bills Deeds of Blood

HUTCHINSON, August ia man
named Emerson, but generally
known as Texas Bill, shot and killed
a man named Denger, about noon
yesterday. Emerson was arrested.
About midnight last night sixty
masked men went to the Jail, ham
mered down the doors and were just
about taking the murderer out to
hang him when the sheriff with a
large possee arrived and drove them
off. Emerson is known as desper-
ado, and is said to have killed sew
eral men. His act of yesterday is
characterized as a cold blooded and
uDprovoked murder. raee7

Noah's Ark Discovered.

A Constantinople contemporary
the discovery of Noah s
Ark. 1t appears that some Turkish
Commissioners appointed to inves-
tigate the question of avalanches on
Mount Ararat suddenly came upon
a gigantic structure of very dark
wood protruding from a glacier.
They made inquiries OF the inhabit-
ants (P. 1,725 in their report These
had seen it for six years, but had
been afraid to approach it because
a spirit of fierce aspect had been
looking out of the upper window.
Turkish Commissioners, however,
are bold men, not deferred by !such
trihes, and they determined to reach
it. Situated as it was 9mong the
Businesses of one of the glens Of
Mount Ararat, it was the work Of
enormous difficulty, and it was only
after incredible hardships that they
succeeded. The ark, one will be
glad to hear, was in state of pres
ervation, although the angles-ob-
serve, not the bow or stern-had
been a good deal broken in its de.
scent They recognized it at once.
There was an Enghshman among
them who had presumably read his
Bible, and he saw it was made of
the ancient gopher wood of Script
ure, which, as every one knows, only
grows on the plains of the Euphra-
ties. Etfecting an entrance into the
structure, which was painted brown,
they found that the Admiralty re-
quirements for the conveyance of
horses had been carried out, and the
interior was divided into partitions
fifteen feet high. Into three of these
only could they get, the others being
full of ice, ana how far the ark ex-
tended into the glacier they could
not tell If, however, on being un-
covered it turns out to be 300 cubits
long it will go hard with disbeliev-
ers in the book OF Genesis. Need
less to say" says the Pal Mall Gu
zette, "an American was soon on the
spot, and negotiations have been
entered into with the local Pacha
for its speedy transfer to the United
States.

The Most Profitable Crop on Earth.

We met Eli Perkins week ago
last Saturday, on the cars, and that
gentleman having paid much atten-
ton to the planting of walnut trees,
was asked to give his opinion con-
cerning the profits arising from the
( planting of them. Mr.. Perkins, be-
sides being a humorous writer and
1 lecturer, is horticulturist.
There is no crop known" said
Mr.. Perkins, "that will pay like
black walnut trees. | saw nine acres
of black walnut timber sold in Indi-
ana last week for $4,000. Over a
thousand dollars an acre. This was
natural timber, and averaged fifty
years old. This would bea revenue
Of $40 an acre every year for the
fifty"
"And this was natural tim
ber?"
"Yes timber self-planted. Now
we will estimate an acre of planted
black walnut. To begin with, l
rode twenty miles in Illinois last
week to see twenty black walnut
trees, which had been planted u
wears. These trees measured twenty
inches in diameter. Any of them
would square a 16-inch log. Those
trees are worth s25 apiece. Now,
any black walnut tree, planted on
rich, deep, alluvial soil, in a latitude
as warm as Kansas City, will
gain in value one dollar every
year"
How many such trees can you
get on an acre?"
They should be planted very
thick, so that they will grow to
trunk and not to limbs. If you
were growing tops, fifty trees would
be enough on an acre but as you
are growing trunks, you should
plant at least 300 to the acre. Event
ually, when they get large, there
should be 80 to the acre. | have
often seen 100 large pine trees on an
acre."
"How much viii these trees gain
in value a year,"
Il should say a dollar year to
each tree. A walnut tree forty years
old is worth $40. | believe farm
er can make s25 a year on every
acre planted in black walnut. This
is low estimate"
But how can a farmer wait to
! harvest them ?"
He needn't wait. He does not
have to wait for a horse to become
five years old. He can sell a black
walnut forest before it is matured
| saw five acres of black walnuts, IL
years old, in Texas, that The owner
had refused $3.50 an acre for"
How should black walnut he
planted?"
Let a boy strike the ground
with a hammer common ham
mer-and drop the walnut in the
hole. Let it cover itself. A boy
could plant row of black walnuts
clear around his fathers farm in two
days. Think of row of black wal
nut trees around a section of land
four feet apart ! How you could
hang barbed wire on them How
the nuts would keep all the hogs in
the neighborhood ! How the timber
would sell at the end of thirty years
for five times as much as the farm.

How to Detect Classical Mnsic.

l can give a simple rule by which
the most ignorant may know wheth-
er any given piece of music should
or should not be admired. If you
know at once what it is about; If it
seems to be saying 1, ,, 3, hop, hop,
hop, or l, ,, 3, bang, bang, bang, you
may conclude at once that you are
listening to something of very low
order, which it is your duty to des-
pise. But wheE you hear something
that sounds as fan assorted lot of
notes had been put in barrel and
were being persistently stirred up,
like kind of harmonious cruel, you
may know it's a fugue, and assume
an expression of profound interest.
If the notes appear to have been
dropped by accident, and are being
fished up at irregular intervals in a
sort of placid or drowned condition,
it is likely to be a nocturne; and
nocturnes, you know, are quite too
utterly lovely for anything. If the
notes seem to come in car loads, each
load of a different kind from the
last, and if the train seems to be an
unreasonably long time in passing
a given point, it will turn out most
likely to be symphony and SYM
phonies are just the grandest thing
that ever were. fthe notes appear
to be dumped out in masses, and
shoyeled vigorously into heaps, and
then blown wildly into the air by ex-
plosions of dynamite, that is rhapso-
dies and rhapsodies the latest things
in music.--.Nuslcal Herald. e
