ACCUMULATION.
The AdaptabilIty of Men and Beasts to Gil
mates Which Are New to Them.

The AdaptabilIty of Men and Beasts to Gil
mates Which Are New to Them.
"Acclimatization," said tho great
French naturalist, M. Godfrey ST. Hill
aire, sis one of the most important
and beneficent enterprises to which hui
man intelligence can lend itself, seeing
that all the domestic animals now COM
monty spread over Europe were origi-
nally natives of warm climates" To
accustom an animal or plant to a
temperature and to a sustenance wide
" different from those in the midst of
which it was born is a science-or, at
any rate, pursuit which has engaged
the attention of the ablest men that civ
ilization has produced in all ages and
all parts of the world. The faculty of
bearing changes of latitude without
damage is, again, marked character
istic of mankind, and especially of the
Anglo-German race which now occu-
pies SO large portion of the earth
surface Man shares this faculty with
the horse, the dog, the cat and the rat;
while, among plants, cereals of all kinds,
potatoes, and certain weeds which are
found everywhere, defy climates, be they
what they may, to deteriorate or other
wise to affect them. As an evidence of
what may be done in improving ami
mails, no better instance can perhaps be
found than that of the sheep. A ma
tive originally of the high table-lands
of Central Asia, and probably the first
wild animal domesticated by man, the
sheep, both as regards its wool and the
quality of its flesh, never attained its
fullest perfection until Blackwell, of
Dishley, Jonas Webb, of Babraham.
Mr.. Coke, of Norfolk, the third Duke
of Richmond, and other British farmers
of celebrity devoted their earnest atten-
ton to improving the breeds which
they took in hand. We have but to in
spect the eight or nine months-old lambs
belonging to the Hampshire Downs
breeds which are to be seen upon Mr..
Robert Bussell's farm near Farming
ham, in Kent, and to compare them
with the ha1f-starved and puny crea-
lures following an italian shepherd,
in order to discern what is the dIf1er-
ence between the highest oyine types
and those still to be found upon the
neglected and desolate Campagna.
The same may be said of cattle and
horses. no less than with regard to
pigs, dogs, and cats. They hold their
place among the most useful OF mans
ministers and servants, and they have
gone up and kept pace with their
master in improvement and advance
ment.- London Telegraph.

should flow under conditions that will equal
ize or favor them in comparison with for
eign competition.
Four paths of policy seem to point to this
end. First, a series of reciprocal commercial
treaties with the countries of America, which
shall foster between us and them an I'M
hampered movement of trade. The condi-
tions of these treaties should be the free adj
mission of such merchandise as the country
does not produce, i'll return for admission
our own products, the benefits of such ex-
change to apply on these goods carried under
the flag of the parties to the contract. The
removal on both sides from vessels SO
imposts, so that their vessels
may ply unhindered between our
ports and those of the other contracting par
ties, though without infringing on the re-
served home coasting trade; the removal or
ducts of those countries coming within the
benefits of the treaties fand the avoidance of
the technlcal, restricsion ls, ana penalties ~
at present hampered. Secondly, the estab-
Iishment of the consular service of the
United States on Salaried footing permit
ting the REIMBURSEMENT of consular fees, not
oniS as respects vessels under the National
flag, but also as respects vessels of the treaty
nations carrying goods entitled to the
benefits of the treaties. Thirdly, the
enactment of measures to favor the
construction and maintenance OF steam
carrying marine under the flag of the United
States. Fourthly, the establishment of an
America SO that has the coined pr pro Of our
mines may circulate on equal terms through
ont the whole system of commemorative
This would require a monetary union OF
America, whereby the output of the bullion
producing countries and the circulation OF
those which produce neither gold NOR silver
could be adjusted in conformity with the
population, wealth and commercial needs of
each. As many of the countries furnish no
bullion to the common stock, the
and minis might thus be utilised,
and q step taken toward the general re-
monetization of silver. TO the accomplish
ment of these ends, SO Tar as they can be o.
tanned by separate treaties, the negoSta1ions

Montana Cattle.

Montanacus in a letter to the N. w.
Live Stock Journal, says: "The cat
tie Of northern Montana are, as a
class, Enthusiastically superior in size
and quality to any range cattle in tho
whole west. They are hardy, clean,
free from any hereditary disease, and
the conditions are such that they will
acquire no taint unless it is communi-
Gated by the bringing in Of Texas
and states cattle. Despite the losses
among the latter class of stock last
winter, herds Of them are still brought
in. especially along the Yellowstone.
Ii proper restrictions cannot be
thrown around that sort of thing by
Legislative enactment, perhaps we
may be favored with hard winter
that, while trimming down the native
herds upon overcrowded ranges, will
cxterminate the ''dongies" "-Provi-

A Texas Remedy.

Our cattle growers generally do
not expect any trouble from Texas
fever in this district, as the climate is
not favorable to its propagation or
spread. The southern papers are
considerably exercised over it and call
the attention of their friends to vari-
Gus remedies for tho disease, among
which we notice this from the Cuero,
Texas Star: '.To cow of 800 pounds
live weight, give three ounces of
spirits Of turpentine, mixed with an
equal quantity Of whisky. Should
the bowels be constipated give two
ounces of aloes. Never give any salts
us it would fatally effect the kidneys.
Proportionate quantities are recon-
mended, according to the size of the

Nothing Safe But Whisky.

A scientist has discovered that cod
fish have germs that are liable to de-
yclope into forms more terrible than
trichinn, and in toothsome mackerel
are hidden microci which cooking
fails to kill. This is becoming seri-
Gus. The microscope reveals terrible
wiggling monsters in our drinking
water; poison turks in the ice cream
can: canned fruits and meats arc
sending their victims to the grave.
and pretty soon the only article of
food and drink that will be safe to
indulge in are early strawberries and

The Conscience Fund.

The contributions to the Conscience
Fund OF the Treasury in the last fis-
cal year amounted to over $6,O 900. This
fund has, since its establishment over
twenty ycars ago, amounted to some
S250,0Oo. For some years past it has
averaged from $4,000 to $1,000 a year.
The term "Conscicnce FUND.- was
originated by Treasurer Spinner. One
day during the war hc received u let
ter ut tho Treasury Department from
man whoincloscd check for 81, 800,
saying it represented n misappropria-
ton Of government funds of which he
had been guilty while quartermas-
ter in tho army. suppose We call
this n contribution to the conscience
fund, and get it announced in the pa
pcrs, and perhaps we will get some
more,' he suggested. The announce
ment was made, and the treasury be-
came the recipient Of such funds.
The largest contribution over made
was $4,000, forwarded by an ex-rev-
enue gauger from Chicago, as the
amount OF a bribe received by him
from distillers who desired to defraud
the government. The smallest was
ninc cents, forwarded by u Massachu-
sets man who remembered that he
had years before used Il marked three
cent stamp on letter. In order to
relieve his conscience he sent three
times the original steal, which he
thought was fair compensation.
Many of these contributions came
from persons who smuggled goods.
Tho majority are from women. A re-
cent case of this sort is quoted. A
lady residing in Canada, who, years
ago, smuggled into this country a silk
