The DIFFERENCE.-T farmer, by
an extreme economy in breeding, never
spending cent when it can by any
possibility be avoided, can pick up at
Isolated times tolerably fair bulls, or
good grades, at little cost, and after
the lapse of years bring his stock to
fair degree of excellence, without real
izing that it has cost him much, if
anything, in actual outlay of money.
But he can better afford to pursue
more direct course. and by the prompt
purchase and the successive and un-
broken use of good bulls reach the
same or more advanced ground in
brief period. Whatever of additional
money is expended at the outset will
be very quickly returned, and the
farmer will be enjoying the satisfaction
and profit of improved stock for many
years before his scrimping and plan
ming could bring it up to anything like
desirable standard by any other
course. If it be conceded that i'm
proved stock is better than the COM
mon, then get the best as quickly as
possible and realize all the advantage
there is in it. The price of the bull
you contemplate seems little hight
you wait until another season you can
perhaps find as good a one for half the
money, but the want of his use in the
meantime may cost you $40 for every
one you save by waiting. You may
buy one not just to your liking, but
almost as good" for $40 or $40 less
money, and your first crop of calves
may be worth $50 or $1OO less than
would have been realized from the use
of the better bull. Suppose little too
much is paid for the bull in the first
place, if he is good one, the young
things that are to come will grow out
the difference in month. Breeders

A man went to shoemaker's and
bought pair of boots for 80, and gave
the shoemaker a $40 bill. The shoe
maker, not having change, went to an
other man and got it changed, gave
the man his 81 and the boots, and the
latter went off. Then the other man
came back, saying it was a counter
fet $40 bill, and making the shoemaker
give him ten good dollars for it. How
much was the shoemaker out.

INFORMATION FOR GEN. HAZEN.

INFORMATION FOX GEN. HAZEN.
A Russian admirer of Gen. Hazen,
the weather prophet, wishes to inform
the Chief of the Signal Service of some
of the weather signs of the Russian
mouiiks, who have for over 1000 years
studied the meteorological significance
of the actions of mice, cats, Holsters,
fish. dogs, swallows, swans, geese,
ducks, roosters, smoke, and acorns,
If sparrows are busy about their
nests or fly in flocks, the weather will
be clear and fair.
If swans fly southwark quite late in
the season, say at the end of Septem-
ber. the fall will be warm and pro-
longed.
Ifswallows fly near the ground, there
will be rainy or windy weather.
If chicks seek shelter, the weather
will be wet.
If chickens and other fowls pick
their feathers, there will be cloudy and
damp weather.
If during severe frosts, roosters crow
very early, the weather will become
moderate or even warm.
When ducks bathe and quack there
surely will be rain, and when they are
quiet there will be thunder storm.
If geese bathe it will rain.
If cat searches for warm place
there will be cold weather. If cat
scratches door, table, or other object
with its claws there will be windy and
snowy weather.
If dogs roll in the winter there will
be snow: if in the summer there will
be rain.
If mice make their nests above the
ground in ricks the fall will be rainy
and prolonged. If they make their
nests under ricks upon the ground the
spring will be fair If they make their
nests before the crop is reaped rainy
weather will begin in August and the
fall will be bad.
Fish appear on the surface of water
before rain, and go to the bottom be-
fore strong wind
Lobsters crawl upon the banks be-
fore rainy weather.
If oak lands grow plentiful the fol-
lowing winter will be severe and the
summer fruitful.
If smoke sinks to the ground when
there is no wind in winter it will snow
and in summer it will rain. If smoke
rises even during bad weather fair
weather will follow.
If at sunset there is no clouds the
| next day will be fair; if the sun sets in
clouds the next day will be cloudy and
perhaps rainy. If the setting sun is
red, the next day there will be strong
wind.
| If the horns of the new moon are
long and sharp, then in winter the
whole month will be cold, and in sum-
mer fair.
If the moon looks pale, it will rain
if clear and bright, there will be fair
| weather.
If fog lies on the ground there will
be fair weather; if it rises in the even
ing, the next day will be warm.
| If the first thunder is heard from
the south, during the summer there will
be many thunder storms. If it thun-
ders in winter there will be a strong
| wind.
If there are red clouds before sunrise,
the day will be very windy.
If a person lets the new moon shine
on his or her empty pocketbook, he or
she will not have single penny dur
ing the whole month.

Religion nowadays is largely admins

that what you take is very small in

A SILVER KINGS DAUGHTER.


Lord Granville's letter to the Gdulols
correspondent who wanted to inter-
view his lordship is an epistolary gem.
interviewing is, l think, in the Old
World, a mistake. 1t cannot be done
here in the free, unreserved American
stvle. In the United States one man is
as good as another, all high functions
90 bv election, the world and his wife
rush ahead, and eels are everywhere
used to being skinned. When young
lady has been deceived, and wreaks
vengeance on the deceiver, all the re-
porters in the city call on him and her
to receive statements from them and
question and cross-question them to
get at, if not the real truth, something
that will excite all categories of news
paper readers.
I was shown a few days ago, in a
back issue of San Francisco paper, a
very droll interview with the only
daughters of Silver King, who had
been Tilted by the son of an illustrious
American general of underworld fame.
In California there would be nothing
extraordinary in it; but in Europe it
would be outrageous. The young lady
according to the San Francisco paper,
received the reporter alone, and then
called in her mother to fix the date on
which she gave the inconstant lover
"a pair of gig horses, that cost $4,000
each, with which he made off, in quit
ting the country. One of the questions
put to her was, Had you any very
pronounced sentiment of amativeness
in the earliest stage of the courtship?n
mo, ambition was stronger than owe.
There's nobody SO rich as shall be on
this side of the Rocky Mountains, and
I made up my mind that since the eld
est son of the Prince of Wales is too
young to marry, | would at least aim
at the son of the first man in the United
States.n when you were engaged,
did softer sentiment prevail?" Yes,
I admit that l felt in heaven when l
danced or went out to ride with him in
the gig" did he show appreciation
of the feelings you expressed?" Some
times he did, and gazed at me so fond
ly." You were quite unprepared. I
suppose, for the wheel-about and the
march off" mo; not quite. I was
warned by friend that he called me
behind my back freckled, red-headed
Biddy, and said that he would never
take me, without blushing for my want
of refinement, round the Courts of
Europe" What did you do when
you heard this?" II taxed him with
it.n .And what did he do?n ''He said
he was not sorry that / heard it, for
that | had no manners, and ought to
go, to post myself up, to some convent
in France, where the daughters of no
bility were educated" "And theng''
II cried, from pure vexation." "What
happened next?" HE put his arm
round my waist and kissed me- 'And
what did you do?'' 81 told him to lei
me alone and go back to his king and
queens in Europe" "And what did
he say?" "He said he would, because
they were real good company. We
then made up" "Are yon still ambi-
tious?" Eyes, very. Love flies out of
the window, position remains. I'm
tired of California and of hearing peo-
pie say they remember father a whis-
key singer. If a lord don't come from
England to court me, I'll go to Eng
land to court lord and to become a
titled lady. .'-Paris Letter IN London

TIE CRIMR.

OLRAN, y. Y, May 23.-Charles B.
Valley, Cattaraugus County, for the muir
Ter OF his wife in the town of Farmers
vile last December, Governor Cleveland
having refused TO grant reprieve, has
made statement in regard to the tragedy
and the cause leading to it, substantially
as follows; Clark is thirty years Old.
He was married in the winter OF
1879 to Martina Marble, the sixteen
year-old daughter of Edwin Marble,
well-to-do farmer of Pennington. After
the marriage they went to live on farm
On the Lyndon and Franklinville town
line. A year after they were married
child was born. Clark drank occasion
ally, but says he was not Incorporate.
They lived awhile on this farm, and
then went to live on another
farm which Mrs. Clark's father
had purchased adjoining his own.
Clark complains that his fathcr-in-law
did not act generously by them, as he
gave his daughter nothing to start them
in the world with except a two-year-old
heifer. one day last fall Arson Clement,
I friend of Ciark's, called at the latter's
house, and asked him to go with him to
Rushford, which he did When he re-
turned home he had been drinking His
wife refused to get him any supper,
and took their child and went
to her fathers. Clark tried persist
emily to induce her to return to
him. lie frequently visited her at her
fathers aud met her at parties and danced
with her, but she declared she would
never live with him again. "The only
reason she gave says Clark, "was that

reason at all. There was another person

but no good can come Of mentioning his

AFEw DAYS BEFORE THE TRAGEDY

bought some cloth to make his little boy
a suit of clothes. On December 10, he
went to his wife's fathers to ask his wife
how the clothes should be made.
