One of the strongest points in q really
good cow is that she will continue to
give good mess of milk during long
time. Many otherwise good cows fail in
this respect. They give large quan.
tity in the first flow but soon drop off
and are dry half the year. The habit of
the heifer with her first calf fixes her
habit as a COW in this regard. 1t is
therefore not advisable to allow young
heifcr to drop second calf within
year of the first. 1t is better to wait so
as to have the calves fifteen months or
more apart, in which case the heifer can
be kept in milk year or more.

TERRIBLE MINE DISASTER.

Two Hundred Miners Imprisoned.

Explosion OF Flre-Damp in q Mino nj
Camp Hausen, Near Berlin, Germany
Two Hundred Miners Imprisoned.
BERLIN, March ia terrible disaster
occurred in the mining village Of Camp
Hausen yesterday morning by which 1t is
believed 200 miners have lost their lives
The explosion occurred In one Of the large
mines. The miners had hardly begun the
days work when the flre-damp, becoming
lgnited, exploded, causing heavy cavern
around the shaft and entrance TO the mine.
0vertwo hundred men are known TO have
been In the mine at the time Of the explosion
and all efforts TO reach them have thus far
been unsuccessful. 1t Is feared that they
have all been either crushed to death, or
asphyxlated. I'H.
The scenes In and around the mine are
heart-rending. The wives, mothers and
children Of the imprisoned men have floclted
around the entrance 10 the mine, sobbing
Historically and imploring Of God TO haip
them and spare the lives Of dear ones en-
tombed below.
LATER.-A dispatch late last night says
that ninety-two bodies had been taken out
of the mine thus far These were all found
In or near the main shaft. II Is supposed
that many others will be found in the less
accessible parts of the mine. Theexplosion
destroyed the air sllafting thus making sur
viyal Of any Of the miners almost impossible.

Washington on the Oklahoma question is
mfayorable to the colonists, it is more than
probable that Captain Couch will make an
attempt TO march men into the Territory
Major Benton has located dead line"
beyond which General Hatch decreed nc
Boomer must go, and if Couch does
move, the instant his men get beyond
that line, trouble will begin. Whether
the troops will fire on the settlers remains
to be seen. General Hatch says they will,
and the "Boomers" believe they will not.
General Hatch's plan TO arrest the entire
colony will be attempted first, and then cir.
cumstances must dictate what will follow.
The Boomers are very mad about the arti.

that they have disbanded, and General
Hatch says he sent no such dispatch 10 Cen

graph the General that since President

DALLAS, Tex, March IA dispatch
from Wichita Falls says that three citizens

who they claim are members of committee,
who signed the following: ITO kill all bad
men whose names may be given by any OF
our members, and to assist any Of ouI
brother members in all undertakings, to the
extent Of our lives" The Rangers got this
oath from one of the prisoners, who turned
States evidence. They also procured list
of eleven doomed persons, including the
three already murdered. Among the prls.
oners are the Sheriff of Wilbarger County,
and seven deputies and the editor and pro
prietor of the Mount Vernon Guard
LAS CRUISES, N. NJ, March 19.-In July,

two miles from the main road. The murder
has remained profound mystery until now.

Ruperto Lara, two Mexicans. Lara con-
fessed TO the murder Of Nesmith. The men
have been Indicted and will be tried at once.

visitors Who Are Welcome and Those Who
Are Not.
Every housekeeper, however hospita-
BILE she may be, is conscious of the extra
care and labor which company brings
upon her. In households where every
thing is on a grand scale, with capa-
bio housckeeper and plenty OF we'll
trained servants, the addition Of few
guests makes little difference. But such
households are rare. Ordinarily, the
arrival Of visitor, invited or unex-
pected, creates more or less disturbance
in the domestic arrangements.
But this tribute TO hospitality Is glad
ly' paid. We are willing to make
some sacrifice Of time and convenience
for our friends, and TO welcome
strangers also; but humm nature dc.
mands that the sacrifice shall be appre-
ciated. Something is required Of the
guest rs well as Of the host. But by
many people this view of the case seems
10 be entirely overlooked. They accepi
or decline invitations at their own pleas
ure, utterly regardless OF the prepara
tions which have necessarily been made
in expectation OF their acceptance. j
they decline, IL is Mt the last moment
too late for their places to be filled by
other guests. II they accept, 1t is solel,
for their own enjoyment, and whatever
contributes to that is taken as matter
of course, with no recognition or thanks
And this Is done, not only by people ig
norant OF tho commonest rules Of polite
ness, but by those who would heartily
resent the imputation of being ill-bred
Now Il seems TO me that every atten
ton which Is shown us should be &C.
knowledged, particularly those from
our nearest friends, which are often
treated with the least consideration.
We certainly never know our friends,
or even the members Of onr own fami.
ly, well enough to cease treating them
with politeness. We should always ac'
cept Invitations, il possible, setting
aside our own plans at once. Having
accepted, we should take with us oul
brightest thoughts and pleasantes'
words and manners, to contribute Ia
| the general enjoyment. II special en-
tertainment is provided for us, few
words expressing our appreciation vii
repay the hostess for great deal o
trouble. For want Of these few words
she often feels tired and disappointed
after an evening which she has tried y
make very enjoyable to her guests. =
