A NEBRASKA RECLUSE.

In letter dated Fairbury, Neb,,
written to young lady in Boston, the
following interesting incident is fur
nished: There Is y singular old man
who lives out here about two miles from
the town. / drove out one afternoon
to see where he lived and how. The
old man was not in, or else we could
not have seen az much as we did, for
he would not allow anyone to approach
if he could help it. The place is cave
dug out as far back as we could see
about four feet high and possibly as
many square, and as dark as a dun
geon. Ii had been dug out of hill or
in q hill. There was an old bedstead
with some led clothing upon it and
:everal little chickens running here and
there which appeared to be the only
panions OF the strange old man.
The floor of the Cave was below the
level Of the ground and the only eptran.
ce was in front-a hole about 20 inches
long and Is inches wide, which was
covered by a piece of stove, the balance
of the stove being upon the outside.
When the occupant goes in or out he
has TO crawl just the same az dog
creeps under the fence. He comes into
the town nearly every day, and on Sun
days talks to the children in Sunday
school. He is about 20 years old, and
has relatives in Lincoln, the capital of
Nebraska, who live in one of the finest
residences in that part of the state.
They have tried to enduce him to give
up his mode OF life, but without any
success. He is a man of remarkable
intelligence. II is said he WAS clergy.
man at one time, and that he
came on visit to his son
who lived in sfflueDse, but during his
stay there the son died suddenly from
typhoid fever. The shock must hare
affected his reason, as ne fancied his
dsughter-in-law poisoned her husband,
and that a similar fate awaited him if
be remained with them, and therefore
has isolated himself from kindred and
friends. He is q small man, of unpre-
possessing looks, dressed shabbily and
wears an cid shall over his shoulders.
He is supposed to have some money"

The Escutcheon, or Ailk Mirror.

Escutcheon, or milk mirror, are
names used TO describe the up or out
ward-turned hair on, at sides of and
above the udder of cows. Standing be.
hind some cows one will notice broad
band of hair differing in appearance,
perhaps in color, from that at either
side, extending from the udder to the
vulvs; in other cows this band will be
narrow or short, On closer examina-
ton it will be found that, on some COWS,
the hair on part of the thigh lies in r
different direction from that surround
this part, often ending in a little curl.
Similar curls are sometimes found on
the back of the udder. Many years
ago Guenon, p French peasant, claimed
to have discovered that there was a
connection between this up-growing
hair and the milk-giving capacity of
cows-both in quality and length of
flow of milk. He carefully elaborated
a system by which he judged cows, and
gained republication and g national
grant of money for success in this
work.
Guenon's system was a complicated
one. It has been somewhat simpifed,
but is still formidable enough to the
inexperienced, with it's orders, classes,
etc. In general terms it may be said
the greater the extent of the up-turned
or outward growing hair the better the
COW il believed to be. The broadness
or height of the band above the udder
is thought of less importance than the
part on the udder and extea ding on the
thighs
A similar but smaller formation is
found in front of the udder and the
escutcbeon is also found on the bull,
and much importance is attached to it
here.
There is much difference of opinion
as to the value of the escutoheon in de-
termining dairy qualities. The natural
impulse is to declare there is, and can
be, DO connection between it and milk
giving. On the other hand, many ex-
perienced dairymen and cattle breed
ers have implicit faith in its value.
Perhaps most take the view that it is
simply one of many helps in deciding
the value of COW. The most plausible
explanation is that, like the milk veins,
this peculiar turning of the hair is 81
fected by the greater or less quantity
of blood carried TO the region of the
udder.-Breeders' Gazette

Construction of Royal or Queen Cells.

These cells are those in which queens
are reared and Matched, and resemble
very much a peanut stuck in the edges
of the brood combs, and quite often
are built on the sides of the combs, and
are usually constructed so as 10 hang
nearly perpendicular. They are much
larger than any of the other cells in the
comb, which caused the queen to be
developed With her head downward,
and allows the organs OF reproduction
to be fully developed. The queen cell
is sometimes built around the egg, and
at other times the egg is carried by the
workers and placed in the cell, and
royal Jelly is also placed in the cell
with the egg, which helps with that Of
the cell to change its nature from that
of a worker to that OF royal queen.
Her royalty passes about three days in
the egg, five days grub or larvae, dur
ing which time the workers deposit so
much royal food in the cells that the
larvae fairly floats in the Jelly like mass.
The cell is then closed by the workers,
and the Larvae commences to spin its
cocoon, which occupies about q hours.
The tenth, eleventh and twelfth days it
lies in complete repose, then it is that
transformation takes place, in which
four days are passed, and generally on
the sixteenth day the perfect ttate OF
the queen is attained.
When she first emerges from the cell
she seeks her own food ike any other
bee. No very particular attention is
paid to her until after improvisation,
but as soon as that has taken place she
is at once recognized and constantly
attended by the worker bees. But her
attendants are not any special or GER
tain bees set apart for that purpose, as
is often stated by some writers, bat
whenever the queen moves among the
bees they seem to detail themselves in
sufficient numbers for the purpose OF
feeding and csressing her in all her
labors. especially so while she is in the
act of having eggs in the cells. This
she can perform at the rate of two or
three thousand per day in the height
of the honey harvest. 1t is also a
well-known fact that the queen bee is
much longer lived than any other bee
of the hive, living, az rule, about two
and half years, while the worker bee
only lives about As to so days in the
active labors of the hive or during the
honey season, and yet, while they ale
in dormant state, or during late fall
and winter months. they live much
longer, say about four to five months
at most. NJ. HICKS, in Am. Grange

purpose Of effecting some object OF
public polity.
Tested by the definition, neither that
which goes by the name OF republican
party, nor that which goes by the name
of democrat party, is political party.
Neither is an association of citizens for
the purpose of accomplishing politi-
cal object Some persons called
Republicans desire to change the
polity Of the nation from "a
protective tariff to frce-trade
tariff, and some persons called repub-
licans have the opposite desire. Among
the citizens called democrats there APP
pears the same opposition. Some
want free trade tariff; some p protec-
tive tariff. In relation to the civil
service and every other political ques.
ton that is now d.scernible, the like
adversely of opinions and wishes ap.
pears among those who are popularly
clsssed as belonging To one or the
other Of the two so.called political par
ties, but which, not being formations
around any politicsl purpose, are
falsely so called, Instead OF political
parties they are corporations organized,
managed and kept in existence by men
who pursue the great American indus
try called electing somebody. The
corporate purpose is fulfilled not by
effecting some object of public polity,
but by getting control OF government
and placing members of the corpora
ton in public offices and em, loyment.
They have been defined with remarka-
BILE exactness as election machines,
and, with clearer perception OF the
motives of their managers, as bodies
of professional staff officers whose or

means Of regiments armed with voting
