FARM AND FlREslpE.

The Breeders Gazette advocates the
superiority of warm-cooked food for
stock in winter.
Apples that are too tart to make
agreeable sauce can be deliciously toned
down by adding about a third of the
quantity of dates. Sweeten well and
serve cold.-Boston Globe.
If plenty of skim milk or buttermilk
be placed where the hens can get it
there will be no necessity for allowing
water, and it will assist materially in
increasing the number of eggs. Detroit

Apply heavy coat of paint on
kitchen or pantry floors; this saves the
housekeeper a great deal of hard scrub

with fresh paint and varnish; these are
great beautifiers, and will save in labor
and time fully as much as they cost.
Rolled Tongue: While a boiled
tongue is still warm roll it with the tip
inside and place it in a round tin or ves-
sci just large enough to hold it in place;
let it remain over night, when it will re-

An orchard which is so large that
manure cannot be had with which to
fertilize it is seldom profitable part of
the farm. Itpays to raise only so many
trees as one can raise well. We occa-

down part of the orchard so that they
can put more manure and more at
tention on the remainder.-Prairie Far

1t is sometimes very convenient to

CONCERNING DOGS.
4 Few Remarks Thereon by One Of Puckss
Observing NaturaIists.

Few Remarks Thereon by One Of Puckss
Observing NaturaIists.
No home is complete without dog.
Many q man has dog that has no
home. but very few men have a home
and no dog. A home without a dog is
just about as sad as dog without q
home. When yeu go home at night
you like to be welcomed by your dog,
who scampers to you across the OIL
cloth and banks with delight, and
jumps on you with unbounded glee.
and leave his foot-marks on everv
square inch of you, from your boots to
your hat.
You always appreciate the affection
of your dog, because You know it
springs from the heart and is genuine.
You know that the dog means every
thing he barks, and that every jump is
impregnated with sincere love. You
know that he is not getting on the good
side of you for seal-skin sacque, or a
dozen pairs of imported gloves that
button away up the arm and back to
the collar-bone. As he springs upon
you and tries to lick your face, you
know it is not because he thinks the
Parlor requires new lambrequins, or
because he would like a box at the
opera
The dog is great comfort in the
house. He keeps burglars and tramps
away, and keeps away himself when he
thinks he is going to be whipped. He
is handy to have around the table to
eat up the fat that you can not eat your
self. 1t seems strange that dog, has
to be chained to be kept from running
away from home, when it is impossible
to drive him away with profanity and
bricks. Unfasten him, and beat him
and kick him, and throw coal
at him, and drive him off the
premises. and what is the result? Why,
the result is that inside of an hour you
will find him sound asleep on the hearth
of the kitchen.
There never was q greater lover of
home than the dog. He is perfectly
happy at home, and he always makes
himself at home. Hewill sleep on any.
thing that is soft, it doesn't make any
difference to him whether it's door.
mat, crazy-quilt, or a velvet dress.
You can find his hair on every square
inch OF dry-goods in the house, except
the curtains. and he would sleep on
themif he could. He likes every piece Of
furniture in the house that has a cushion
on it, no matter whether it is Eastlake
Or East New York. The dog never gets
sick of home; but take him away from
home, and he will get home-sick.-R.

A kind of odiferous amulet, said to
be made in Persia, is sold in New York
bazars and is becoming very popular
among New York ladies. A Turk in the
trade give this history of the origin of
the amulet:
1.-The legend of the amulet is well
known by all women in the Orient.
Many years ago Genghis Khan, the great
Tartar warrior, overran Persia. The
Shah's harem was captured at Teheran,
comprising some three hundred or four
hundred beautiful odalisques. These
became at once favorites with the hero,
but his family was already so large and
included so many pretty wives he could
not distinguish his Persian from his
Tartar wives. In order to be able to do
so. he resorted to the expedient of at
taching amulets, perfumed highly,
around their necks, which proved quite
successful. The hieroglyphics on the
diverse side of the charm are supposed
to represent the Ksan's signature and
his proclamation warning others not to
interfere with his property. For hun
dreds Of years the amulet was handed
down as an heirloom and protection
against evil. When the Turkish race
became the couquerors of the East they
captured these charms and put on the
reverse side che crescent, star and the
word kismet. Then after many years
the Shah permitted the charms to be
manufactured and sold Is . boon to the
human race. IN Y. AdjR,

THE FESTIVE cowsoY.
One OF the Latest Exploits of this Inter
esting Glass of Citizens.

One OF the Latest Exploits of this Inter
esting Class of Citizens.
The capture of railway train BY a
gang OF cowboys the other day in Arr
iona or New Mexico is the latest exploit
of that interesting class of our fellow
citizens. No one was killed, which is a
wonder. Perhaps it was bad day for
killing. For shooting it was evidently
good, for we are told that the cowboys
were careful to fire through every
window and at regular intervals through
the roof of the coach, which must have
been very entertaining for the lady
passengers. The question arises, can
not the troops whom we maintain in
Arizona manage to keep these turbulent
spirits in little better order? Is it in
evitable that man who herds cattle
shall be a savage of the lowest type,
and if it be, can not these savages be
taught by severe lessons to curb their
savage instinctsp 1t is evidently great
injury to Arizona and New Mexico that
such class should go rampaging round
with impunity.
There is a tendency in certain class
of cheap literature to make popular
hero out of the cowboy. Much mischief
is done by misdirecting the minds of the
young. Boys can be found who think
it grand to carry knife in their boot
and revolver in their belt. to swear
and swagger and drink and brighten
quiet people. 1t doesn't occur to them
that these are traits of the savage, not
the gentleman; that they covet dis
tinction in which the Apache will be
their superior. Brutality is never adj
mirable; even pirates have claimed to
be the mildest hammered men who ever
scuttled ship or cut throat There is
no earthly reason why man who herds
cattle should lower himself in his habits
and manners below the level of the
beasts he tends. If the fashion has set
in this direction, it is time it were
changed and if the change costs the
lives of some cowboys, SO much the
worse for the COWBOYS.
People would be glad to hear of
smart correction being administered to
these scoundrels who are so free with
their revolvers. An officer who turned
loose on them and taught them lesson
that would be remembered for years,
would earn the gratitude of the coun-
try. This nation is strong enough and
its arm ought to be long enough to
reach disturbers of the peace in Arizona
and New Mexico as well as in Ohio or
New York. Even in so semi-barbarous
a country as Russia such outrages as
the cowboys are fond of committing
would be followed by thorough investi-
CATION and punishment. A company of
mounted infantry started on the trail of
the criminals ought to be able to run
them to earth and no one would COM
plain of any extra severity displayed by
the troops when they caught them. We
must stop savagery at any cost.-San
Francisco Chronicle.

.TyPE-sETTINo MACHINES.

A New Invention which Means Mischief
to the Intelligent Compositor.
There are about Congress some of the
best shorthand writers in the world,
writes a Washington correspondent.
Nearly all of them are spectators in a
quiet way, and some of them are quite
rich Most of them are at present in
terested in the new type-setting machine
which is being perfected in Baltimore.
Here is machine which is manipu-
lated by keyboard similar to that of
the typewriter. Each top of the key
moulds and manufactures a new type
out of stereotype metal, so that one link
of work represents solid bar of metal
with raised face of the letters struck.
This bar can be sliced like cheese for
the correction of proofs or justifying,
and can be made in such shape that it
can be locked in cylindrical form so as
to go upon any of the presses where
stereotype plates can go. The beauty
OF this work is that the presswork is
done each time from the face of new
type. If it is practicable the machine is
so clean and simple that the work of
type-setting can be done in a parlor
without any dust or litter.
When these machines are ready to 90
to work the intelligent composition will
be banished. His place will be taken
by nimble fingered, neatly dressed
young women. The dirt of the great
newspaper establishments of the future
will be swept into the basement where
the presswork is done, while the money
saved by those machines will be de-
voted to the establishment and adorn.
