ago there were about 1900 Dutch
COWS owned by London dairy

corded yield of Dutch COWS in England
is thirty-two quarts per day. This
valuable kind of dairy COWS is rapidly

A Learned Judge.
From the St James Gazette. l

From the St James Gazette.l
Ihe Judges OF county courts are we'll
known to possess an extensive and va
ried knowledge of things in general;
but an acquaintance with the prin-
cipals of artistic dressmaking is not
usually to be found among their ac-
complishments. There seems, how
ever, to be an exception at Liverpool,
where the judge had to settle dispute
between a ''fashionably attired" young
lady and a dressmaker; the former
claiming damages against the latter
for spelling some silk sent to her to
make up into bodice. According to
the plaintiffs story the bodice was q
misfit and thesil wasted. The dress
maker insisted that the bodice had
been padded SO as to improve the
plaintiffs figure, but the plaintiff re-
torGed that she was quite satisfied with
her figure as it was. Under the cir
cumstances the judge ordered the
bodice to be tried on. The plaintiff is
here reported to have blushed; so the
Judge kindly added, "Try it on in my
library" The plaintiff soon reap
peared in her bodice, and the judge
surveyed it with a critical eye. His
honor concluded that it certainly was
cut too short; but that i the plaintiff
would wear a dress-improver the bodice
would look all right. Under these cir
cumstances it is reported that judg-
ment was given for the plaintiff for 5
pence and farthings. The case
shows how important it is for judges
to be men of wise knowledge and ex-
perience.

EpitheiiOma.

From the Mining and Scientific Press.
 General Grants disease is termed epithelioma or true cancer. It is a tumor caused by the morbid growth of epithelial tissue. This is the tissue that covers or lines all cavities of the body with an internal opening, no matter how small. The mouth and throat are examples, and the covering or lining of these parts in on epithe- ial tissue. It may be caused by long continued irritation of the part, such as would be caused by smoking, drinking or the use of highly speed articles of food. An epitheltoma is one of the various forms of cancer, and is more or less malignant. Were General Grants tumor on the enternal covering of the body it could be removed with safety.

The San Francisco Post of recent date says: "The statement is made that Peru, weary of inter
 nal strife, is desirous of having the United States extend a pro tectorate over her. We doubt this. The United States is not loved In Peru since we undertook to die tate to Chili the terms upon which she should make peace with her neighbor, and then were com
 pelled to back down. Chili calmly gave us to understand that her fight with Peru was none of our business, and that, rather than permit us to interfere, she would go to war with us. Fortunately for San Francisco, Uncle Sam pocketed the affront and left Peru to her fate, which was a hard one. Chili has a navy, while we have none, and had war come this city would have been at the mercy of the Chilian iron-clads. Since this big republic, with all its wealth and immense latent power, is not in condition to resent the threat of a thrashing from even little Chili, it is not likely that Peru, or any other country, will be anxious to seek the doubtful blessings of our protection"

It is notable that in the South ern States, where the drinking habits of all classes of men were formerly regarded as much worse than in the North, there has been going on Q steady and practical temperance movement. The pro- gress attained in Missouri will, probably, be regarded as the most surprising. A rigorous license system has been vigorously en- forced, and a new and more ex- acting license law has just gone into operation there. This new statute prohibits the sale to minors or the tolerating of minors around licensed saloons; allows to be sold where manufactured only in quantities of one gallon or over, not to be drank upon the premises, and abolishes the wine and beer shop licenses, thus rais- ing the license fee from $500 to $1, 1,200.-Exchange.
