An Army Divorce Scandal.

Washington Cor, Philadelphia Times,
A divorce granted few weeks ago in
Philadelphia was in three days followed
by a marriage in Baltimore. II has
caused genuine surprise and much com
ment in army circles here, as few even
of the most intimate friends of the officer
Maj. A. III. Nickerson--were aware
that he had any desire to be divorced
from his first wife. She went to Europe
three years ago with their child. and
correspondence between them of the
most amicable character is known by
certain of their friends to have been
kept up until within year.
No one in Washington l,new of his di.
vorce until the news of his marriage To
Miss Carter, in Baltimore led to inquiry
and at first many of his most intimate
friends refused to believe that he was
married. The whole affair is regarded
rs very mysterious in Washington. lie

wife went TO Europe, when he gave up

historian, Mr.. Bancroft.

Beef aud MIX Combined,

The Iowa State Board of Agriculture,
at recent meeting for revision of its
prize list, ordered the payment of $500
in prizes for herds of the beef breeds of
cattle. The amount is to be divided in
to three prizes of $500, $3.50 and $50.
Another important prize added to the
list is one Of 800, for best herd of cattle
tor the combined purpose of beef and
milk production. 1t is of no use to deny
it, there IS call for cattle combining
beef and milking qualities There may
be special cases where it will pay to keep
a milking animal, or butter or beef
animal as a breeder, till it is so old as to
be unfit for feeding for the butcher but
such cases are not the rule, and such
farming will not, in the long run, be the
most profitable for stockmen. We
should sell fewer calves for veal, raise
more dairy cow, and then turn for beef
while young enough to feed well for the
butcher - says the Breeders Gazette.

He Had Travelled Before.
Carson Appeal.

A lot of Boston tourists were travelling
IN sleepin, car, also Nevada traveller.
In the morning, when the porter went
round 30 collect his assessments on boot
backing, there was a great commotion
among the Boston tourists. Some paid
him five cent nickel, and those who
had no nickels were compelled TO yield
up short bits All the while the Nevada
man, dressed in ordinary clothes, sat
reading his newspaper. When the por-
ter reached him he looked up inquir-
ingly,
'Did you black my boots, sir ?"
"Yes, sab"
"You did splendid job; never had
my boots BACKED 50 well before on this
line. Here's 49,"
When the porter pocketed the money
the Boston people looked up astonished,
and presently it was rumored about that
John Mackay was aboard or Enoch
Strother was out on a campaigning trip.
In few minutes the Nevada man and
the porter met (by chance) in the smVk-
ing room
"When does my sleeping ticket run
out2"
"Your time was up, sab, at ogden; but
if you wants to ride to Reno, boss, it's all
right, sah."
The traveller gave the darky drink
out of black bottle, and the porter
winked consecuti, ely for nine seconds
as he drank the travellers health.
Six dollars saved. Economy is the
road to wealth.

What Breed of sheep Is Best?

In discussing this question from the
standpoint of the West and Southwest, n
writer in the National Live Stool, Jour
nal says; "The Spanish Ieriho has GER
tainly demonstrated an adaptability to
our climate, and mode of treatment, In
every respect, that will increase the de-
mand for this oldest brcc OF pure sheep,
unless some new candidate for public
favor shall accomplish more than has
been done yet by any but the Spanish
Merino. They have increased in num-
bers beyond all others, in size of carcass,
weight OF fleece strength Of constitution
and capacity to endure change of feed,
change Of climate and general neglect
with herding qualities unsurpassed and
upon the whole am convinced tkat for
a general purpose sheep for the large
breeders Of the Great West and South
west, the Spanish Merino. the purcr the
better, is TO be recommended"

An InielllEcni Horse.

There is in Boston street-car horse
known as Lady Knights. Lady Knights
is not only very intelligent, hut she is
exceedingly lazy. She is relief horse
and il is her duty to help the regular
teams up certain hill. When one of
the relief horses reaches the top of the
hill it is unhtchcd, and being trained,
trots back OF its own accord to the foot
ofthc hill, taking its place next to the
curbstonc. The driver Of the next ear
understands that the outside horse is To
help pull up the hill. But Lady Knights
is very sly. When the other horse
comes down and stations himself in his
proper place, she walks up just ahead of
him, and then backs herselfbetween Old
Stupid and the curbstone. The conse-
quence is that Old Stupid sometimes
pulls three or four successive cars up the
hill, and probably would keep on pulling
for the res, cf the day did not the at
tendant come 10 his rescue. The look OF
injured innocence that Lady Knights as
sumes when the man leads her out from
next the curb and puts her in her prop
er place, is quite funny.

Care Of Ewes

Nursing ewes should be supplied with
nutritious food suited to the breed.
Mcrinos may have corn given to them
without injury. Heavier bodied sheep
will do better on mixed food. A go d
feed is made of corn and oats or rye and
bran in equal quantities, ground together
and mixed with half the quantity Of lin
seed oil meal. One pound of this day.
with few cut roots or potatoes, will
