In winter there are no roses blooming in
the deserted, w~ind-swept, snow-covered
garden. Nor in summer 10 crystal SHOWS
fly fair. Each season has its own work,
its own beauty, and by hands OF another sea-
son this work can not be done; this beauty
cannot be breathed. And so of mans life.
Each season has its own duties and its own
Joys: and if they are not laid hold of, no
other season can make up the loss, they are
gone down the dim untraversed river of For
ever. Each day, indeed, has its duty, its W
smile, its own tear, its own heart-tllrob.
If only it be lived in for itself, life would
be fuller and richer in every thing,
and the clusters of blessedpess hanging
from the boughs of each day, | would pro-
claim life's every season to have wrought
well and to deserve well for what lies be-
fore. Alas that we let the b%urdenlng to-
morrows crush the energy and strength out
of to-day so that its work is undone or
marringly done. Give your to-day a
chance, my brother. Give it only its own
work to do, and evening will find you
laughing over the beauty and faithfulness
that smiles up to you from the well-done
duties.

NOBLE SPORT IN JERSEY.
Hunting a Herd of Wild Cattle in the
Woods About Holly Beach.
From the PHILADELPHIA Times.


HOLLY BEACH, N. j., Aug. 1.-THE
natives of this neck of wild woods have
been indulging in hunt for the past
week very similar to the sport only to be
found on the plains. The game is wild
cattle that have roamed the hills and
wales OF this section of New JERSEY for the
past twenty or thirty years. At about
that period vessel from England
loaded with finely-bred cattle was
wrecked on the beach near this town.
large number of the animals were
drowned, but a few succeeded in reach
ing shore. This part of New Jersey
WAS very wild and almost uninhabited at
that time, but some of the hardy settlers
were possessed of u few head Of cattle
These we're found by the new corners and
fraternized with them. In course of time
the cattle belonging to the settlers wan
dered away from home one at a time and
took to a Wild, wandering life with the
aliens. Their offspring multiplied and in
recent years the hills and woods of this
part OF the State have been populated
with herds of wild cattle. AS the country
became more thickly settled of late years
the cattle became decided nuisance to
the settlers. They were as feet and un-
tanned as buffslQs and Just as destructive
to field of grain when they took a notion
to stampede across it as a Richmond tor
nadO.
A meeting of the farmers was conse-
queEtly called in this town the other day
to devise means Of relief. After some
discussion the suggestion to inaugurate
grand cattle hunt was adopted. and dur
ing the past few days it has been effec-
lively carried out. The weapons used
We're various, ranging all the way from
old blunderbusses, loaded with slugs, to
Winchester rifles. All Of the hunters
were on horseback. A clump of woods
about five miles from this town was first
surrounded and the game was run
out by pack of dogs. As the
animals emerged from the woods they
were shot down by the hunters. There
were also some exciting chases across
country, and in some instances the bulls
showed fight and two dogs were killed in
encounters with the beasts. The slaughter
has been kept up for several days and it
is now thought that all of the animals
have been killed, with the exception of one
herd of about %. These will be killed
within few days.
The market is now overstocked with
wild beef and some of it is being shipped
to Philadelphia. The meat is a trife
tough. but juicy, and is not unlike buffalo
meat in flavor.

CuPRfNa AND LEEcHtNa.
A Branch OF Medical Practice That IL
Now Almost Obsolete.

from rho Philadelphia Record ',h
al commenced the practice OF cupping
and leeching for the cure OF many of the
ills that man is heir to some sixty years
ago" said Mrs. Harriet O'Connor, an Oc-
togenarian, who resides, still male and
hearty, on Filth street, below South.
"When | started practioing ia this city
there were about 800 persons engaged in
the business, and many a struggling ar
fist earned his frstdOllar IN painting the
fancy signs which adorned the window
stills, or hung projecting from tue 'front.' OF
the office of the leecber. The practice
has declined within. the past few years,
and at present there are. but twelve per
sons in the whole city following the pro-
fessiOn for a livelihood"
The leeches used now are brought from
Sweden and Norway, although those
found in the pine districts OF New Jersey
are much more preferable. Foreign
leeches Will take from three TO five times
their weight in blood, six being generally
applied for every fluid ounce OF blood to
be drawn. When leeches are scarce they
are utilized several times before bong
thrown away, and TO compel them TO dis
gorge salt is thrown upon them, or they
are squeezed with the fingers, great care
being taken not TO crush them. They are
imported into this country by a firm whose
office is in Maiden lane, New York, who
collect orders from its customers, and
make but one general importation, re-
ceiving fully 100000 leeches per year.
The average price is about IS per thous-
and, and the cost price and freight arc
about 81. The profit is simply enormous.
The leeches are packed in moss and
shipped in alright wooden buckets, aud
must be kept in a cool dark place. At
tempts have been made TO breed the for
eign leech, but with no success. BARRIERS
some 30 years ago were not considered
proficient in their trade ii not possessed
OF knowledge of curping, leeching and
bleeding.

A LITERARY BONANZA.
A Great Find of Ancient Records in
Egypt.
From the London Times.

From the London Times.
More than 10000 fragments Of ancient
records have been dug up from the sands
of Egypt, where they have rested en-
balmed during nine centuries, not very
much the worse for their interment. The
history of these venerable documents is
remarkable. Prof. Karabacek supposes
that they must at one time have formed
part of the public archives OF Ell FaVOum,
and that the bulk of these archives per-
ished in great conflagratiOn, such as
destroyed the great library at Alexandria.
The fellaheen of those days seem to have
risen in revolt against their natural
enemy, the tax gatherer, and possibly
they associated together the tax collector
and the archives as emblems Of the same
extortion.
If Prof. Karabacek is right, they set
fire to Ell Fayoum and its documentary
treasures without conjunction, and these
10000 papyri and parchmeuts, some OF
them charred by the fire, alone remain of
the collection. Prof. Karabacek and his
coadjutOrs will have their hands full Of
work for some time TO come in classify
ing what has come to their hands. The
Professor makes a preliminary division
of the manuscripts into groups cOmpris-
ing eleven different languages, more than
one OF which will he absolutely new TO the
well-educated reader. 1t is not surprising
TO learn that the key for deciphering
those of the manuscripts which are styled
Meroitic- Ethiopian has yet 10 be discOv
cred. Merely to decipher those Fragments
which are written in the more familiar
tongues COptlc, Hebrew, Syrlac, Persian
and Arabian requires pOlyglot accom-
plishments far from common even among
German scholars.
The very papyri on which most OF these
records are written are standing evidence
Of tue oppression TO which the fellah was
subjected. The manufacture and sale of
papyrus WAS State monopoly, and 1t
ended, as monOpolies often do, in driving
trade elsewhere. The day when paper
began to take the place of the papyrus
plant was perhaps the seal Of the COM
mercial decline of Egypt. But that all
refinement was not crushed out Of the
Egyptians who peopled III Fayoum may
bs inferred from the numerous fragments
Of manuscripts of authors comprised In
the collection. Among them is unique
specimen Of ancient manuscript-G frag-
ment Of Thucydides, supposed TO be ear
lier by seven centuries tnan the earliest
eXtant manuscript OF that author. Al
together, the I'll Fayoum archives may
be expected to prove one Of the most
wonderful discoveries In this age OF dis

Boston Herald.
The farmers of Iowa were among the first to
break away from the one-crop SYSTEM, and to
diversity their grain growing with dairying.
There are now 400 creameries cheese factories
in that State, and their patrons find the industry
much more profitable than raising wheat at sixty
to seventy cents bushel on land that
is worth from SIS to 500 per acre.
The ST. Louis Republican reports that
the farmers in Northern Missouri have
begun to turn their attention in the same dIrec
ton, and says that If one-half the money and
labor expended last year in raising Missouris
crop of 80 600 900 bushels Of wheat had been
given to dairying. the net result would have been
double. It argues that ''the markets OF the
world are glutted with wheat, but the more but
ter and cheese produced the more there is con-
sumed--the demand keeping pace with and even
outstrippihg the supply" There is commonly a
market for good dairy products at remunerative
prices, but it is doubtful, if the average profits
have been greater than those gained from wheat,
taking period of ten years together. The pro-
dueti6n of good butter is not altogether matter
of disposition Much depends upon the pastur-
age, the water, and climatic condition. The
dairying belt is as res tricted as the wheat belt.
taking the whole country together. The sec
tons adapted to it can make the industry profit
able. 1t is doubtful if the other sections can do
so. The older settled portions of the West are
experiencing from the cheap and virgin fields in
the Northwest the stress Of the competition by
which they forced the farmers of the Eastern
end Middle States to abandon grain growing as
a reliance and diversity their productions. His
tory is repeating itself in compelling them to
adopt similar policy.
