What the Editor Saw.

The other day we noticed him as he
came across the bridge, with his wagon
full of cotton, and chickens, and eggs.
He found ready market for his prod
uce, and we thought how happy his lit
tie ones would be when he returned
home in the evening with toys, and
dresses, and shoes, and food for tho
morrow, and some clear money in his
purse. We thought we could see his
wife standing in the doorway to give
him cordial greeting on his return,
so DESTROYS were we that he should
make home ones happy and cOntente d.
We could almost see his cheerful face
as he returned to his family after a
DAYS absence. So we thought and re-
turned to our work But eventide
came, and he passed by our window
again. He had nothing we thought he
would have. The bed of the wagon
was bare. No little shoes, nor toys,
nor dresses, nor food for the morrow,
nor money in his purse, we dare say.
The man was drunk. He had changed.
This changed our thoughts of his
home. We could see the children
shrinking from his approach, and the
wife, so carewOrn and sorrowful. She
could not meet him with the pleasant
smile with which she had intended
greeting him. He was breaking her
heart and preparing to make paupers
of his children. Baptist.

That is, the produce of a pure-bred
sire upon cold blood is one-half blood.
The second generation, bred on the
progeny, is three-quarters blood. The
third seven-eighths blood, and the
fourth generation to fifteen-sixteenths
blood.
The half to three-quarters bred are
superior feeding cattle or hogs, excel
lent work horses, valuable mutton OF
wool sheep. The seven-eighths or
fifteen-sixteenths bred will grade fairly
with pure bloods, except to the expert
handler, and often can not be told
from full bloods except from the lack
of pedigree. The fourth generation
may be accomplished in ten to twelve
years with horses and cattle, and in
swine and sheep relatively sooner. A
careful investment in well bred stock
always pays the practical man who
understands the economical utility of
good care and feeding. Farm, Field

Snow Storm of the Season--A Gale Acc
companies It and Considerable Damage
Results
ST. PAUL. Mimi, Dec 5.--Snow began
10 fall early yesterday morning, and the
weather grew gradually colder. The storm
was accompanied by a wind. The snow
fall amounted to several inches, and cutters
Were in use for the first time this season.
Reports received by the signal officer show
that the storm was general throughout
Manitoba, Dakota, Minnesota, Eastern
Montana and Northern Wisconsin.

A Heavy Rnhhary.

FREEDOM, Pa, Dec. Sat three O'Clock
yesterday morning the citizens of this place
were startled by loud explosion. Sew

passing Bentel's Bank, saw some men
running out Of the building He shouted
an alarm and started after them.
The fleeing burglars turned and fired sew
eraI shots at him. one of which took effect.
Bashare, being nnarned, turned about and
ran to his home. An Investigation led to
the discovery that the four doors of
the immense safe had been blown
from their fastenings, and that be-
tween $1,000 and IS, 900 in cash
and $l,150 in Government bonds We're
missing. A number of valuable papers and
notes were partially destroyed by the ex-

package of bonds were left in the safe. An
entrance had been effected by forcing the

JAPANESE PROGRESS.
Western Ideas Adopted by the Mikado's
Fair Subjects.

Western Ideas Adopted by the Mikado's
Fair Subjects.
The ladies of Japan show not less
readiness to adopt Western ideas and
usages than the japanese of the other
sex. The bellies of Yedo order dresses
from Paris; and the progress of imita-
ton has gone so far as to make a
knowledge of the fashionable dances
of Europe an indispensable feature in
the education of every Japanese lady
who respects herself. Equestrianism
has not, however, figured, SO far, in the
list of feminine accomplishments in the
dominions of the Mikado; not, it seems,
from any aversion on the part of the
ladies to take pattern by their Euro
pean sisters in this as in other respects.
but simply because no means of mas
tering the art of horsewomanship as it
is practiced in the West existed in the
country. A riding-school is, however,
about to be opened in Yokohama ex-
clusively for the use of native ladies,
and it promises to be largely patron
lied. The japanese Government is
about tc take steps which will have the
effect of bringing the more solid
branches of Western education within
reach of the female subjects of the
Mikado. A number of young women
are about to be sent to Europe to re-
celve thorough training in the essen
tlal branches of female education as it
is understood there, with view to
their subsequent employment as teach
ers in their own country when qualified.

"DOMESTIc" WINES AND BEER.
The PernicIous Effects of Their Use as II
Beverage.

Beverage.
There are many foolish and false
ideas in relation to the nature and eff
fects of the use of the lighter drinks,
including those generally called do
nestle" wines and beers. There are
those so thoughtless as to suppose that
the domestic Wines" ETC., contain no
alcohol, simply because none is aided
in making them, not knowing, per-
haps, that all alcohol is produced by
the fermentive process, this being the
only Intoxicating element of all intox-
icants. Again it is supposed that no
great harm can come from the use of
SO little alcohol as may be found in the
weaker kinds of domestic drinks, while
many suppose that there is nothing in
toxicating in the common spruce beer,
such as is made in the family, particu-
larly popular in the spring. 1t must
be evident, however, that fermentation
must produce this poisonous alcohol, il
allowed to proceed to certain point.
Even the fermentation of the dough,

not all, of which is dissipated in the
baking, alcohol being very permeating
and diffusive. This will be found true,
therefore, in all ordinary fermentation

1t is fact that the use of alcohol in all
of its forms, in large or small quanti-
ties, necessarily produces abnormal APP
petites, natural desire to increase the
quantity, while there are comparative
" few who are able to resist this neces-
sary tendency. Most become drunk
ards who use it regularly tor any con-
siderable time.
A writer in the Scientific America1e
states that the nse of beer is found 10
produce a species of degeneration of all
the organs; profound and deceptive
fatty deposits, diminished circulation
and perversion of functional activities,
congestion or inflammation of both
liver and kidneys being constantly
present. A slight injury, a severe
cold or shock to the body or mind
will commonly provoke acute disease,

AMERICAN ANIMALS.
How Can the Destruction and Extinctit
of American Gam BE Prevented?

HOW Can the destruction ana EXTINCTION
of American Game BE Prevented?
Mr.. Ernest Ingersoll, in paper just
published by the American Geograph.
zeal Society, makes a startling record
of the extinction of wild animals from
this continent by the settlement of the
country. Much of this lamentable de-
crease of animal life was unavoidable
But Mr.. Ingerson does well to descant
upon the ruthless waste of one of OUT
most valuable resources. Only twenty
five years ago the great plains were
covered with buffaloes, and Mr.. niger
soil says: 81 myself have seen steam
boats halted ON the Upper Missouri by
swimming bands of these finest of wild
cattle" But the extension of the Pacific
railways has been made the occasion
of needless determination of them.
The elk, moose and deer have suffered
a similar fate, until now it is said that
the ell, which eight years ago were
seen in thousands on the plains of the
Sweetwater and in the Wind River
Mountains, have practically been driv-
en- to their last refuge in the Southern
Rocky Mountain plateau.
Mr.. lngersoH shows that this baleful
disturbance in the natural order of ami
nal life is not limited to the land alone.
Seals, which once disported in the At
lantic surf along this coast southwark
to Cape May, have retired to the New
foundland or Labrador coast. The
habitat of the oyster on our Atlantic
coast has seriously decreased. The
feathered tribes, especially the prairie
chicken, the wild turkey, ducks and
all game birds, have been sadly de-
pleted, and still the slaughter goes on
almost unchecked.
Mr.. Ingersoll suggests that an arrest
might be put upon this uncailed-for
destruction by making and enforcing
"a law which should permit so-called
sport to be INDUCED only by a selected
few who had proved their capacity for
common sense and self-restraint. "

And those loved hills that round it rise.

Rare flowers are hid in nook and dell

Beneath the strange new western skies
Ny heart clings to its eastern star
And scenes through which fond memories
rise.
How still the threshold where it stands
The dlngy house so meek and old
Ihe doors untouched by human hands,
Inc windows blinded, dark and cold.
Perhaps the weeds and grass have grown
b1gn on the clapboards By their side,
Hiding the pathway paved with stone,
AND foWers that famed with ancient pride
The silver stream still curves and frets
Around the house--and seeks the sea;
Beneath the roof no one regrets

Another Gas Explosion.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Dec. 5.-Three dwell
isg houses were wrecked yesterday after
noon by an explosion of natural gas,
which was used for fuel in the buildings.
A servant girl went into the cellar of one
of the houses with a lighted lamp, look
ing for leak in the gas pipes, and a
terrible explosion followed. Many families
were rescued with the greatest difficulty, as
the buildings Immediately caught fire. Kate
Griffin, the inquisitive servant, and Mrs.
Phipps, one of the tenants, were fatally
burned. One building was entirely de-
stroyed by fire and the other two almost
completely wrecked. The loss is $4,000.

A Boom in Broom Corn.

SCHENECTADY, n Y, Dec. 5.-The
scarcity and rapidly advancing price of
broom corn are causing considerable un-
easiness among the manufacturers of
brooms and brushes. Last year the crop
was very large and the demand light, and
broom corn could be bought for from two
to Eve cents pound. This year tile crop
was small. The demand for manu-
featured goods has been very brisk
and the raw material is now worth from
eight to len cents a pound Chicago deal
ers and spectators have bought up the
greater part of the Western crop, which
was also light, and are holding it back for
rise. Ii is predicted that the price will
soon advance to fifteen cents.
