THE "no pass" business of the
Cecil County Fair, will not work.
We are not in favor of it, and are
sure that a large number of others
are opposed to it, The fair must
cater to the interest of the people,
and allow them the privilege of go
ing in and out when they desire. 1t
is not just to keep the crowd inside
the enclosure, when they may be
necessarily forced to go out. The
pass business does not lose more
than ten dollars a year, while we fear
this "no pass" business will cause the
managers to lose more. But as it is
set down in the catalogue and in
the advertisements, it must be adj
hered TO this season. The leak is
elsewhere, and a general pruning
down is needed. However, we hope
that the people will join in heartily
to make the fair financial success.

INVESTIGATIONS are now in order.
An investigation will be made into
the charges of extravaganza hang
ing over the Trustees of the Poor.
Many of the trustees are in favor of
an immediate inquiry into all the
matters pertaining to the almshouse
workings. The taxpayers are
equally anxious, and now there
seems nothing to do but go right
ahead and show to the people
whether everything is all right or
otherwise.

Three Votes Decide a Question.

Hot Springs, Ark, has become no.
license town for two years in a curl
Gus way. There is statute that at
each state election, the question of Ii
cense shall be submitted to the ballot
If a majority of the voters be not for
licenses, then it is unlawful for the
county court to grant them. At the
last election the question was over
looked inadvertently. 1t was taken
for granted chat by common consent
licenses would be voted. The returns
showed three ballots in the county
against license, and none for. Thus
the anomaly of three votes closing all
the saloons in the county for two years
and thwarting the will of thousands is
presented. There were thirty saloons
in Hot Springs, which paid revenue
of S32, 900 to the county and city. The
matter was taken before the courts,
but the saloon-keepers were defeated
and they must suspend business for
the next two years.-Rochester Demo

An American Mute Artist.

writes a Paris correspondent, by an
artist who has been deaf-mute ever
since his infancy. Mr.. Humphrey
Moore, however, talks as nimblv with
his fingers as other persons do with
their tongues, and that, too, in some
four or five languages. He is one Of
our best American painters, and these
two canvases are attracting q great
deal of attention. One is character
istic Spanish scene, view of the
Athambra; twelve dancers and musi-
clans on and around table; two CO.
quettish ladies seated in chairs enjoy
ing themselves with the gossip of these
cabotins, and in the background the
old Moorish palace. In truth, the
scene is living one. The physiogno-
mics each had their proper character,
their individuality, and vet all are
participating in the common action
that bids fair to bring them in plenti-
full supply of coin. These players,
this beautiful dance, these ravishing
senoritas, are alive, their poses are
easy and. natural, their local costumes

full forms, the exact colors which he
saw in Seville and elsewhere out-of-
doors in that picturesque land. The
figures are small, almost minute, and
yet with what vigorous touch, with
what great finesse, has he laid on all
the artistic details that were necessary
to give to them moving actuality.
This remark is equally true as applied
to the other picture, a scene in Japan,
and which is brim-full of the local
color of that faroff empire. For these
TWO pictures Mr. Croker paid for the
Spanish $1,000, and for the Japanese |
one $4,000. Bonnat pronounces both !

Fenian, one Frank Byrne, ex-soldier of

thanks to Byrne, Rosa and the others
were parfectly aware of what was 60
ing on that night, and lay still, conf
dent that their turn would come ere
long. We all know how miserably
they were disappointed.
CAT the trial that followed, Rosa
rendered himself conspicuous above
his fellows by audacity and energy.
In return he got the heaviest sentence
of any penal servitude for life.
When released in 1871 he was an al
tered man. He was no longer light
hearted and. rollicking. He had lost
his geniality and fun. He seemed to
have lost altogether his rough but
hearty kindness. At the same time he
preserved all his intelligence, firmness
and energy. He was Tor rather the)
Fenian martyr, and he had the repute
of being the most honest and trust
worthy of all the chiefs. 1t was nat
ural, therefore, that he should gather
to himself strong party of the Amer
lean Fenians, and as natural that the |
said party should exceed all the 9TH

Some of them had rifles on their Shout

scare the French. They were most of
them fine fellows, but lack the very
essentials of making them formidable;
against an enemy, although they will
no doubt prove formidable to the,
peasantry in the neighborhood of their
camp. The lack of discipline is
fruitful cause of trouble in the Chinese
army; officers are often unfit for their
positions, and unable to control the
men under them by gentle means, but
they are willing to use harsh ones,

Fattening Cattle and Hogs.

1t has been demonstrated that in
actice it does not pay to grind corn
r cattle. Theory would go to show
at the more complete digestion Sc
red by grinding would compensate
E the expense and leave margin of
oft. But it is the testimony of those
40 have honestly tested this matter
at grinding does not pay. When cat
} eat whole corn there is a consider
lie waste. Many grains are passed
tact, and the droppings of the ami
ais will contain in addition many
Gees of grain. TO allow this food to
lste is already too extravagant in
any portions of the country, and is
coming SO in other sections. The
ly way to utilize this food in the
oppings is by the agency of some an
al which will eat it in the condition
which it is found, and the only farm
imal which will do this is the hog.
'nce it has become the common
actice in many places to have hogs
lowing the fattening cattle, the
,mer obtaining all their. sustenance
I'M the droppings of the latter. This
ows how surprisingly great is the
sste of food by reason of incom-
tie digestion, for it is found that for
cry one hundred bushels of corn fed
scattle, the hogs subsisting on the
oppings will add to their weight al
'st five hundred pounds of pork.
ese figures may seem altogether too
ge, but they have been proven cor

reful feeder in Illinois, in tests COW

d that when corn Is worth forty
ats per bushel, pork should be worth

ned by the cattle there would be

A Word for the Jersey.

1t is not our purpose in presenting
the merits of the little Jersey to abuse
any other breed of cattle. The noble
Short Horn is known over the civil
lied world as most royal animal. 1t
has mersts for the dairy as well as for
the butcher pen. Besides the Short
Horn, as a peer, at least for beef,
stands the noble and symmetrical Here
ford. Then, too, comes the Polled
Angus, its advocates claiming for it all
the merits of both the above breeds.
Then the Devon, meek, kind and gen.
tie, looks out of its bright eye upon a
world OF admirers, who contend that
for the dairy, for the butcher and for
work animals there is no superior.
The Holstein and the AYRSHIRE and
the Guernsey and even the little Guinea
COW maintain undisputed credit for
worth in the dairy, in the stall and in
the field. All are grand, and even the
native breeds loom up in the hands of
careful breeders as often worth the
weight of their long horns in standard
dollars. But here we desire, espec-
tally, to present merits of the ''pride
of the dairy" the grand little dorsey.
She is particularly a family COW,
contributing, under kind treatment,
which she so well deserves, to the
happiness of those who watch over

butter can be made almost as cheaply

butter for less than fifty cents for years,
and he is selling several hundred dol

and it is in great demand. A good

looked. 1t matters not how cheap,y
man may be able to produce beef, he
can not afford to waste half OF the
corn fed to the cattle. In even the
most favored localities the farmer
who owns the land upon which he
feeds his cattle finds the profits of his
business small enough. He can in
crease those profits by feeding corn,
for this will not only make cheap beef,
but improve the quality and conse-
quently enhance the price of the en-
tire carcass. And when he feeds corn
he can yet further increase the profits
by having hogs to follow the cattle.
1t might be conjectured that the
hogs would become diseased, bat it is
found that hogs which gain their liv-
ing in this way are not more disposed
to disease than are others, and that if
otherwise well treated the danger
from disease is not great. In fact,
many claim that hogs which follow
fattening cattle are unusually healthy,
and 1t is certain that these hogs are
not so much subject to disease as those
confined in pens. Their food is filthy.

A Sensible Greed.

An important part of the Buddhist
creed is the belief in the alterations
of periods of repose with periods of
activity. As man sleeps every twenty
four hours, and vegetation subsidies

periods follow each incarnation. The
tide of humanity flows on to each
of the seven planets, seven times,
and passes through its seven races and
Gibbs away again, but the great rest
period of our planetary chain does not
begin until the seventh round of hui

system will pass into period of rest,

Cookery as a Home Art.

A writer in a recent English paper
complains that, with the general adj
vance in the useful arts, that of cook
cry has remained in the hands of care
less and unskilled workers, almost
entirely undeveloped. eff 1t were not
So" he says, "they would not have
left an art so important so entirely to
traditionary teaching, would have
developed it in way they have not
done; and would have combined to
secure pleasant meals in way they
carefully avoid" A consideration of
this matter recalls some recent dis
cussions of the questions of combina-
ton and cooperation, which have
thus far failed to give any practical
solution of this complex problem.
Until some more effectual means of
general advancement in the knowledge
and practice of cookery can be devils
ed, the matter seems to rest, as it has
for ages past, solely in the hands of
the house wife, and upon her comes
the weighty responsibility of prepar-
ing the daily food, on which the health.
and usefulness of her family
so largely depend. In the knowledge
which is necessary to an intelligent
and easy handling of the matter,
either in the way of direction or act
nal work, the American housewife is
sadly deficient, often leaving the pre-
oaration of food entirely to an I'M
,rained and unreasoning servant, and
more often doing it herself with an
ignorance and lack of interest which
make it the most irksome drudgerv.
