PauperS' Scum.

There is nothing like "pegging
away" at an abuse, though it appears to
take good deal of pegging before one
can get anything ''tixed up" about it.
More than a year ago l called attention
to the disgraceful cruelty shown to the
animals carried form Ireland to Eng
land via Cork and Bristol. That cruelty
still continues. An eyewitness tells me
that on recent voyage of one of these
boats, lot of cattle were packed so
tight that they could not turn round
The passage lasted from A. NJ. one
day to 10P. Il. the next. During the
whole of this time, not drop of water
was given the poor beasts. Some food
was, indeed, protfered them by throw
ing hay upon their backs, but none of
it was eaten, for their frantic struggles
to get it simply resulted in its being
crushed down beneath their feet. They
were miserably thin lot, and some of
them certainly diseased. The reason
given for their poverty stricken condi-
ton and cruel treatment, was that they
were ''only going over to be made into
paupers' soup. "-Lonlom Trnth.

easy manner of relieving choking cattle.
1t is to, with thumb and forefinger,
squeeze the sides Of the gullet together

forced up to the jaws. Then quick
upward thrust should be given, or the
animal should be choked until it shows
signs of distress, when the hand should
be quickly removed from the throat,

The bleak and .uninviting interior Of
street car, with the thermometer
twenty degrees below freezing point,
was the scene of = proposal Of marriage.
The hour was $50; the car one of the
amber-hued chariots of the Thirteenth
and Fifteenth Street Line, Philadelphia,
and the interested parties pretty girl
of about nineteen summers, with dark
eyes and rosy cheeks, and q young man
of two or three and twenty.
"Are yoa cold, Amelia?" came in
gentle tones across the car.
'Yes, Charley" was the half-whis-
pered reply. And Charley snuggled
up close and took Amelia's hand in his.
He then glanced at her in a loving
way, looked across ut the reporter, who
was apparently asleep, noticed that the
conductor was entirely occupied in
keeping his feet warm, and. after giving
one or two coughs, said, with smile:
ado you recOllect what / told you
the first time met you. Amelia?"
.No, Charley. What?"
"Why. that / had never been in love
and that it would be cold day when I'd
ask girl to marry me-"
"Oh, yes; but why do you ask?''
well, this is very cold day, Amelia,
isn't it?''
Yes, Charley; but why?" and she
blushed as she glanced up at him, and
rs his face drew nearef hers.
''Well, will you?"
There was a silence for moment but
for the jingle, jingle of the bells and
the shuffling of the conductors feet
upon the icy platform. Then she
slipped her her hand into his. blushed
even roster than before, and whispered:
yes"
''Bless you, my children" exclaimed
the delighted reporter; and rs the low

expected discovery of their secret the

Docs the Animal FulGII Its Purooseg


The object of keeping animals on the
general farm is profit or utility. We
breed cattle, swine, sheep, and perhaps
horses, for money. If we make an ex-
ception of tie horse in this regard we
breed or buy him for use, precisely
as we purchase = machine. The steady
aim of the farmer if he is enterprising
is to secure the best machinery. Ee
watches and inquiries until he iinds the
best; and nobody need be told how
loudly he complains il he gets hold OF q
piece of machinery or An implement
that is worthless or comparatively so.
But how often are we Indifferent to the
merits of our horses. Here is horse
that is best described as a slow poke.
1t sleeps when it walks and does not 90
much faster when it trots; or it may be
one OF those horses that eat AMI eat and
never give any adequate account for
what they con ,ume, and in o.her WAYS
it may be an inferior and imperfect ami
mai. Now that means financial loss to
the farmer. A slow horse requires much
more time to do a certain amount of
work than the fast walking horse would
the part of the driver, and the result is
that but a portion Of the work is done
that might be done if the horse is OF
quick action. We do not grow as
much in our fields, it costs more to
grow what we do grow, and becau G
of a possible lack of thorough cultiva-
ton what we dc grow is not as good
rs if we had horses that had some
spirit and vim IN them. If the horse
Is vicious we are constantly exposed to
loss and danger. The animal may iu-
jure other animals or injure ourselves.
necessitating an outlay of money. Now
we do not act thus recklessly with re-
Spect to other matters, rs already stated.
If the machine viii not do its work
well and quickly we throw it aside. and
consider it money in our pocket to lose
what We have paid out for the machine
and to pay out more for q new one;
and as for a vic Gus animal its keeping
is very much like the keeping of a de-
fective steam boiler which is liable to
burst al any time. 1t is violation OF
all recognized principles of business to
keep an inferior horse on the farm. 1t
W, uld be expensive if We got it for
nothing and somebody kept it for us
withoutco cost. R,p:dity wins. Slowness
always loses. Our labor-saviDg ma
chinery, our telegraphs and railroads

are part of the primitive implement
policy of farming. 1t is waste OF time,
and time is money. We shall never
make farming pay in this country until
we institute reform in those things
which many of us style little things.

Rochester Democrat and CAronicle.l
To any one who has studied the laws Of
life, and especially those which relate to
reproduction, an experience such as we
are about to relate, will come with special
force and interest. The Transmission Of
certain mental traits of prominence. and
of certain physical traits Of equal promi.
nence, are facts which all acknowledge,
but which none can understand. The To-
Their may be distinguished-the son, an
imbecile; or, the parent may be decrepit
and unknown, ard ths child achieve the
highest place possible to humanity. But
through it all, there will be certain charac-
teristics, which mark the individual as de-
scending from certain ancestors. Too
often, indeed, these characteristics are in
frmities, and often of n physical nature.
These facss were strikingiy brought out
during a conversation, which representa-
tive Of this paper recently had with Mrs.
Carrie d. Il. Swift, who is the wife Of one
OF our most prominent citizens. This lady
related that she Inherited from her parents
certain tendencies, over which she had no
control, and which were in the nature of
blood difficulties, assuming the form of
rheumatism. Her experience can best be
described in her own words. To the writer
she said:
II felt the beginning of this hereditary
faint many years ago, in vague pains,
which seemed to come unaccountab!y and
at uncalled for times. Thew were annoy.
ing, exhausting, and in;erfered not only
with my duties, but also totally destroyed
my happiness. At first, they wonld be
only transient, appearing for day ortwo,
and then disappearing: then again they

forty pounds in weight, feel perfectly W II

"No one would ever suspect you had
suffered so, Mrs. Swift, to see you now,"
remarked the reporter.
"That is what oil my friends say. Only
yesterday, an acquaintance of mi6e, whom
had not seen for some time, hesitated, be-
fore speaking, and apologized by saving:

Have you any objection to giving the

They are such as are made up of two
parts of equal shapes. Look carefully
at these and you will perceive that the
upper halves of the characters are a
very little smaller than the lower halves
so very little that an ordinary eye de-
clares them to be of equal size. Now
turn the paper upside down, and with
out any careful looking you will see the
difference in size is very much exaggera-
ted; that the real top half of the letter is
very much smaller than the bottom
half. 1t will be seen from this that
there is tendency in the eye to enlarge
the upper half of any object upon which
it looks.-C Chicago Times.
