That's the Best Way.

He had an old horse hitched to
country ''pung," and there was snow
on his hat and a SNOWFALL in each ear
as he rcincd tho animal up alongside
the curb and shouted to q policeman:
''ls this the nineteenth century,"
"Fccls like it., said the officer.
And is frec-born American citizen
to have his life put in peril to crafty
the humor of n mob of boys?"
''What has happcncd?"
''This!" he yelled, as he picked the
SNOWFALL out of his left ear, land
this!' he yelled still louder as he took
the one of his right. 'Ive had to run
a gauntlet for three miles! I've bin
popped and sluggcd and paralyzed and
pulverizcd! This ere hoss has been
popped and pelted and pounded till he
can't rest? l demand that protection

great American Constitutionn
you shall have it, sir just con-
slider the mantle of protection thrown
around you and your hoss."
The old man drove off, growing and
muttcring, but he hadn't progressed n
block before q SNOWFALL carried his hat
away and another lifted tho old horse
off his feet.
'That's too much, that Isl" said the
driver as he rolled of his pung side
ways. "If they haven't got any better

SILK Culture Not Progressing.

Whatever may be done in an expert
mental way, says The Alta California,
practically silk culture is not coming
to the front at all, and much less COM
ing rapidly, as our usually well-inform-
ed Oakland contemporary mistakenly
asserts. There are q few enthusiasts
on growing who arc Iaising null
berry trees and silkworms under many
discouragments, and these persons
deserve all credit for their unselfish
efforts; but the stubborn fact remains
that nobody in California has yet raised
silkworms for profit, and after so much
experimenting, the prospect of doing so
at future date does not appear partic-
ularly bright. Our climate is ali right,
and elegant cocoons can be obtained
here, but either silk culture is not adapt
cd to our labor system, or it is an in
dustry that requires wonderful amount
of government nursing to set it on it's
feet. 1t has its advocates who think it
can be made profitable with our high
priced labor, but they have not yet
proved their case.

SKATING AND WALKING.

Our transatlantic sisters complain
much of tho mild weather, which rend-
"rS their slcighing and skating cos
tunes useless, and foreign journals re-
port the tailor-madc suit as the leading
style for walking dress, and mention
some novelties brought out therein by
London tailors.
Mixed bright metal braids are used
on waistcoats and cuffs of plain cloth
of some distinct shade from that which
composes the gown. Blue and red are
most dcftly combined, or rcd with rich
dark myrtle-grccn, and both can be
trimmed with equal effect with gold
woven red mohair braid. A gown of
fine dark navy blue, with rcd on tho
skirt, introduced as rcvcrs at the sides,
had Il self-colored tunic, gracefully
drapcd, which fell in square apron
front, and closc-foldod loops on the back.
The bodice was habit shaped, beauti.
fully cut, and made with short coat,
tails behind. The opening was filled
by plat of red cloth, with red and
gold braid sewn thereon. A long, mar
row waistcoat (aGain of red cloth) was
almost concealed by close rows OF
braid, in short "sidc-to-sidc" lines
down its length. A high stand-up COL

were just stitched at the wrists, form

The Early Pictorial Press.

1t was the Revolution that gave free
dom to journalism. The censorship of
the press ceased in 1695, and several
periodical publications Immediately up-
peared. just at this time the art of
wood cutting was at its lowest ebb;
and so, at the end of the seventeenth
century, illustrations in newspapers be-
came both rare and bad. The eight
eenth century saw great increase in
the number and excellence of carica-
lures. The trial of Sacheverell pro-
duced great many, and the South Sea
bubble was even moro widely lam
pooncd. Papers now began to appear
In ever increasing numbers, and some
OF them. such rs the well-known Gru6-
Street Journal, published illustrations
from timc to time. The best illustra-
tons, however, continued to be copper
plate cngravings; but, as they involved
two printings, the engraving and let
terpress being on the same page, it
was impossible for much advance so
be made till they were discarded. The
Daily Post of 174O was one of the frs
daily papers to give illustrations of
current events. During the central 10
years of the eighteenth century news
papers seem to have published no illus
trations whatever. The Gcntlemd1.'s
Aidgaztne, started in 1881, had .,n oc-
casional engraving or woodcut, but
none of any merit. 1t was not till after
the revival of wood cutting by Bewick
that the ObScrrcr-"thc pioneer of mod
ern illustrated journalism its
first appearance, Sunday, Dec. 4,
179D. That paper, abandoning engrav-
ing, availed itself of the art of the
wood cutter, and so did the Times in
the earl y years of the present century.

ENSILAGE WITHOUT sILOs.

The plan of compressing green fod-
der in stacks above tho ground, in
stead of silos, long practiccd to some
extent by Dutch farmers, has been
tried in England during the past sea-
son. a Hampshire farmer reports a
successful experiment of the kind. He
carted some grass as soon as it was
cut, stacked it in the ordinary way,
and weighted it every evening with
about two tors of railway metals, OF
greater length than tho width of the
stack, which was nine yards long and
five yards wide. BY this means a large
quantity of grass was compressed into
small space. When the stack was
finished the loose grass from the side
was pulled out and put on the top,
which was not thatchcd. The result
Is about fifty tons of good fodder, SINH
lar to sllagc. There is some waste at
the sides and on top, but not more, it
IS said, than is commonly found in
Sllos. Another experiment of the same
description Vas carried out with tho
hclp OF an elaborate system of mCchan-
zeal pressure, which appears quite an
unnecessary expense. The explanation
or the preservation of the fodder is that
1T became SO solid that the air could
not penetrate more than about nino
inches at the sides Of the stack and
not much more on top. 1t will be adj
Visable for all who try the plan TO fix
the stack ut n distance from any other
stacf or any building, as a little hitch
in the arrangements might easily lead
to the heating, and ultimate firing, Of
the fodder.

APPLICATION OLE LIME

The report comes from England tn
there Is great revival of interest in
the employment of lime During the
past few gears many farmers have Civ
en- up tho custom, long followed, of
applying largo doso of lime to their
land every seven years. They have en-
ployed commercial fertilizers, chiefly
for the reason that they produced an
effect much quicker. Observing farm
ers and landlords have ct last noticed
that grass lands are suffering for an
application of lime. The meadows
yield less hay, which is of poorer quail
ity. Some of the best grasses have
disappeared from pastures, and theiS
places arc occupied by weeds and
mosscs. The sandy soils arc less pro-
ductivc than when they were periodi-
cally treated with lime. Their hard
clay soils havo become much more
compact, and consequently much hard
or to work. The opinion has become
general that the old custom of apply
ing a dose Of lime to most soils once
in seven years should be restored. 1t
is found that tho teams as we'll as mon
on most farms arc idle during several
weeks in the winter, and they can be
employed to good advantage in haul
ing and spreading burned lime. chalk,
and mari. In many places lime"kilns

years have been put in operation, and

LONGEVITY IN HORSES.


While the aptitude for living to n
great age is undoubtedly Inherited,
still this tendency to long living MANY
times shows up in the character of n
squirt. as single son or daughter from
a given pair may attain to Il great age,
all other scions from the same stock be-
ing only moderately long livers. AS
to longevity, as we ordinarily meet
with 1T, there are physical signs that,
fully inspected and estimated at their
worth, will always be found to tally
with the results. The thoroughbred
has firm structure throughout, clear
ly the result of transmission through
an agency rendered firm of tissue by
continuous and somewhat severe train
ing, ignoring accumulation of fat. The
latter substance in excess, or even ap-
| preaching this, places tie l!orse or the
person with this popularity as though
with sword suspended over him by a
very weak thread. Life is prolongcd
by such repeated efforts as give vigo.,
short of sapping the vitality, and one
of the agencies through which this is
done is curtailmcnt of tendency to fat
ness. We have in trees corroboratiye
evidence that firm texture leads to
long life. The hardwood trees arc
considered by naturalists to be long
lived in proportion as they grow thitk
and stout rather than tall. Slim plants
are, as rule, delicate and short-livcd.
We can safely apply this similitudc tc
the horse, and calculate that the spind.
ling, leggy horse will not provo hardy
or long-liyed. The firm texture of the
flesh and bones of the mule may be
taken as evidence that this conccntra.
tion of structure may be considered tc
be associated, as q rule, with tendency
! to long life, and it is worth considering 6
how far VIC can safely depart from the
popularity referred to.-LtUe Stocl

COLORED GLASS IN FAVOR.

The handSOmcSt wine sets are of En-
glish cut glass, rose, diamond, Russian,
hobnail, or the new polar star cutting.
Not every one, however, can afford such
glass as this, and thin engraved glass,
clear as crystal, is the usual style, with
even wealthy people, since, irrespective
of cost, it shows of tho color of tho
wine to better advantage. Colored
glass grows constantly in favor-Vene-
tan glass with its marvellous decora-
ton, and the new cut glass, cameo
like, with the raised cutting of rose.
green, blue, or topaz on q ground of
plain glass. The new dccanters are
low and round, with long, slender
nccks, or are veritable jugs, tall and
straight. Still dccantcrs, though every
one buys them with n wine set, can
scarcely be said to be in general use,
since the host, especially if he prides
himself upon his wines, prefers to serve
them from the original bottles.
leo bowls, salad bowls, bonbon dish
cs, olive trays, ice cream sets, finger
bowls, etc., swell the list of dainty
glassware, and a table set with these
under gaslight is brilliant beyond de-
scription. There is Il great fancy for
variety in table ware-thus in n set of
tinger-bowls there will be one rose, one
pale pink, one topaz, one amber, one
dark blue, one pale blue, one myrtle,
and another sea green, ono violet, one
dark wine color, one clear glass, and
another milky in tint, the unitics being
preserved in the matter of shape. So
also, the half-dozcn wines grouped
around the goblet for water may show
as many colors, and, fortunately for
'hc drinkers of Schuylkill water, color
;;d goblets for water arc coming into
fashion.
