The Model Cow.

Correspondence of the Country Gentleman
The "general-purpose" COW, so long
sought by those who have done the
least to improve the, native stock, with
which nobody is satisfied, is not here
nor elsewhere. Perfection in animal
structure. suoh as will produce the
highest results inconverting food into
beef, is antagonistic to the best results
in turning food into milk, cream and
butter. Hence, the more perfect the
beef animal, the less the milk This is
an age of strong competition; no one
shop can succeed in turning out work
which alfdozen can do cheaper and
better. The COW that is the most sue
cessful as a beef-maker can not we'll
compete ASA milk and butter producer
The hope Of a. general pnporse COW,
which will combine in one animal all
the capabilities of these specialists,
may as we'll be dismissed.
The model COW, however, is already in
the field. She may be found in the
Shorthorn, Hereford and Polled Angus
for beef; the Holland and Ayrshire for
milk and cheese; and in she Guernsey
and Jersey for. rieh milk, cream
and butter; Good: butter-makers
undoubtedly exist among Short
horns. Now,and then profitable beef
animal may be found among the Hol.
land or Ayrshire cattle, or any of the
i breeds. Even the natives do as we'll.
The objection to the "ocmmon COW" is
that she is inferior, as>a,rule, for any of
the purposes ,for:which al COW is wanted.
Her ancestors are mixed, and as she
breeds like herself or like some of her
ancestors, the. result is, too uncertain
she must be breed up or discarded. No
capitalists who has invested in Western
ranch will send to tia; herd of Jerseys.

House Aqnat1cs.

There is great charm in growing
plants in water. Some of our ordinary
house plants may be grown with sue
cess in this way, so that any one who
chooses can have plant aquarium in the
window. Where there are goldfish the
tank or globe will answer for some
plants, and these introduced will bene-
fit the fish also by keeping the water in
better condition for them. As to suitable
plants, the Gala, among common ones,
may be placed at the head Of the list.
Either the ordinary species Or its dwarf
variety, or the nearrelative with spotted
leaves. known as the richandia, are
adapted to the purpose. OF these We
think the dwarf Gala would generally be
found the most suitable. Hyacinths

forward, either in glasses or III soil.
may be added to the aquatic collection.
Those taken from the soil must first
have their roots cleaned. The bulbs

wor1en's Hoses and Hair.

Before deciding as to the arrangement
of the hair. the nose should be carefully
Intercepted. IF that feature be Roman,
or what learned author describes as
"cogitative" i. e., long and curved in
ward toward the point-the HAIR should
be somewhat pronounced in it's arrange
ment. It should be rather massive, or
else the large nose will, by force of
contrast, make the head look meager.
If the nose be Greek, an approach,
carefully guarded from beng too realis-
tic to the classic knot may be ventured
upon. The varieties of the Anglo Saxon
nose, some Of them quite childish in
their want of decision and frmness Of
outline, are too numerous to be specially
commented upon. but should be- treated
yariously, according as they approach
the acquiline. the Greek or" the snub
varieties, This last requires a, rather
coquettish arrangement of the, hair.
Madonna bands assert badly with a
snub nose. So does the. Venetian
couture, which has been such favorite
among our aesthetic phalanx for some
years. A "lttle head summing over
with curls" best suits the. snub, 'tip-
tilted like flower" and sensible. wom-

Population Of the soudan.

It is estimated that there are 10000
900 or 100000 of inhabitants in tho
Egyptian Soudan, which has an area OF
2, 500, 900 square miles, and comprises
vast amount of fertile land along the
Nile and it's tributaries. Three mill
ions of these people are Arabs and
their kindred, while the remaining g.
100000 are OF the negro race. All
the Arabs and Moslems, and many of
the negro tribes have adopted the re]ig-
ion Of Mecca, and are faithful followers
Of the Prophet. The Pagan negroes
have united with the Arabs in the effort
to drive out the Egyptians, and, though
their religions are unlike. they have
common interesssr i'll Kidding themselves
of oppression. Most of the Arab tribes
are on the eastern side of the Nile,
while most OF the negroes are on the west
ern. Between the Nile and the Red
Sea are the tribes whence come the men
of Osman Digna's army, now in front
of the Suakim, while along the valley
and to the yessb are the people who
flock to the Mahdi's standard. Out Of
a population Of 100000 Of people,
animated by religious zeal, and smartins
under the cruelties OF their recent mas
ters, it is easily possible for the Mahdi
to raise an army OF 100000 men. The
wonder is not that Khartoum fell SC
soon, but that it was able to hold oui
so long. The theory is certainly very
plausible that the Mahdi could have
captured it long ago if he wished, bu
he refrained from doing so until the
British army had come too far into the
Soudan to be able to retreat.

A Sad History of Grants House.e

The saddest incident in the history of
Gen Grants financial misfortunes has
never appeared in print until now, and,
as stated above, it comes to me on in
disputable authority froma lawyers.
When the General returned from his
trip around the world and id scided to
make New u ork his place of residence
for the future, number of leading cit
liens of themetropoiis subscribed $780,
900 to buy house for him. After looking
the ground over, the brown stone struct-
ure on East Sixty sixth street. between.
Madison and Fifth avenues, was decid-:-
eel upon as III every respect eligible.
The price, too, was within the amount
subscribed-S100,O0O; but when the .
donors came to purchase the property
they found there was mortgage for
SEC, 900 upon it which the holder was /,
not willing to yield up. He wassen--
tirely satisfied with his interest of .
some,y6 per cent, and 1T WAS deter
mined to-, paw $40, 900 in cash and lass
sumo the mortgage. This was DONE.
and the remaining 100000 wass

pear. At 5 years the tushes or vol
teeth are seen. After this the age is
indicated by the wearing down of the
teeth, and at 6 years the first two teeth
are worn so that the pits and black
marks have disappeared; at Z years the
black marks on the next two teeth are
no longer seen; at 3 years the lower
teeth are also worn in the same manner; ;
at years the Oldest teeth begin to get
rounded; at 10 the next teeth change
the form of the surface; at u the cor
ner teeth begin to take on triangu-
Lar form, and yellow mark ap-
pears In the centre, where the
enamel is wearing away. At II
all the front teeth have triangular
shape and the gums begin to be alb
sorbed, leaving the teeth to project
horizontally, instead of being nearly
upright, as;in the young horse. This
change begins about the eighth year
and gradually increases until the teeth
are almost level and the roots are seen
by reason ofthe absorption of the gums.
After 20 years the age is marked BY
deep pits above the eyes caused by the
gradual ABSORPTION Of the soft portion
Of the bone and its increasing density
also BY the yellowness, of the teeth, the
sharpness Of the withers, loss of plump
ness Of the muscles. the pendulous lips,
the 1idge]ike backbone, and the hollow
ness around the rump. All these signs
are modified by the health of the horse
and the manner of feeding; horse
which has pastured. especially on short
grass on sandy soil,. will show more
wearing Of the teeth than another which
is fed wholly in the ,stable--New York

CHAMBERS;

At the later stage of glandersthe dis
charge from the nostrils becomes thick
and sticky and has a fetid odor. which
is unbearable. This is caused by the
decay OF the bones of the head. 9th
erwise the animal appears in good
health, and the only Indication Of dis
ease besides the discharge from the
nostrils is hardness OF the glands under
the jaws, with livid ulcers on. the inner
membranes of the nostrils. If
these symptoms are found the an
imal should be, destroyed, Us the
attendant OF owner might take the in
lection and die sure and certain and
horrible death in ashort time. In most
of the States it Isl unlawful to keep a
glandered horse or mule. If there is
any doubt veterinary surgeon should
be called in. but there can be no doubt
if the above mentioned symptoms are
present.

WHAT THEY SAY.

British Trade Journal-It may
be no consolation, but it is the fact
that all over the world the same con-
dition of affairs exists. Trade is
everywhere bad, prices are every
where low, profits are everywhere
shadowy. All over the world, too,
the harvests have been, one might
say, exceptionally good.
Washington Gasette-The Ha-
waiian reciprocity treaty must go.
1t is bigger swindle than Chinese
cheap labor. If we want the Ha-
waiian Islands, let us take them.
1t will be cheaper to do so than to
give Colonel" Adolph Spreckels
four millions year as free gift,
to the detriment of our own people
and contrary to every idea of right
and justice.
s. Il. Merch0,,t-If the Eastern
sugar monopolists cannot do better
than employ the journalistic cobbler
of the Gazette, they are in n sorry
plight. Whatever may be the
merits Or demerits of the treaty with
the Hawaiian Kingdom, no possible
good can be done by scandalous
publications rejecting unfairly upon
individuals, and distorting or per-
verting facts for the purpose of mis-
leading Congress.

seems TO have been brought about
either by the Governments wilful
disregard of the law or by its incom-
peteucc TO deal with any financial
question above the mere collection
and disbursement of the public rev.
enues-or perhaps by a combination
of both these causes. The Chamber
of Commerce, representing the busi-
ness interests of the Kingdom, has
apparently done everything in its
power to facilitate the Inauguration
of the gold standard. Yet, met at
every step by dallying and delaying
expedients on the part of the Gov
ernment, il only abandoned efforts
when the Government confessed, by
the act of reputation, that it could
not or would not carry out the law.
The humiliation of the Government
is only overshadowcd by the calamity
to business that is threatened as a
result of its course.

SILK CULTURE.

A communication by the last mail
from Miss Nellie Lincoln Rossiter,
Practical Silk Culturist, New Jersey,
in which that lady expresses wish to
"see an interest in silk culture
awakened in the Hawaiian Islands,"
induces us again to call attention to
this neglected industry" Silk
culture is undoubtedly an industry
which might be started on these
Islands with well grounded hopes of
successful issue. Probably no
country on the globe has soil and
climate better adapted to the null
berry tree, whose leaves furnish the
best food for the silk worm, than
ours. 1t is tree with which the
writer has been familiar in many
countries, widely separated, but
never saw it thrive so we'll and with
so little care as here. Our climate
is equally favorable to the silk worm.
The late Mr.. Titcomb demonstrated
this fact a'good many years ago by
an actual and heightened trial at
Kauai. An attempt at silk raising
in this country should not, therefore,
be regarded as an experiment that
might succeed or might fail. On the
contrary, we feel sure that if the at
tempt be commenced and continued
intelligently and properly it cannot
fail to succeed. Neither is there
much room for doubt that the in
dustry would be profitable, in a
monetary sense. Besides, itrequires
so little capital and furnishes pleasant
employment for women, children.
and aged persons. Here we quote
MissRosstier's own words, being more
concise, clear, and comprehensive
than anything we can add:-"The
culture of silk particularly commends
itself to women and children, of the
rural districts in particular. 1t is
an occupation of intelligent and
moral bearing, not interfering with
household duties, but utilizing spare,
and often wasted time. 1t is light,
pleasant, healthy, intensely inter-
esting and profitable, and families
engaging in it can materially add to
their income, each season. The cost
Of starting the industry is trifling,
for the first year only, after which it
costs nothing to continue it,"
If any of our people feel an inter-
est in this matter-and we. hope
many of them do-and wish to learn
more about it, we refer them to Miss
Nellie Lincoln Rossiter, whose adj
dress, with other particulars, can be
found in our advertising columns.

The working of the anti-Chinese
law has had curious illustration of
late. Two converted Chinese women
sent out by the Presbyterian mis-
sionaries to labor among their coun-
try-women on the Pacific Coast, were
not permitted to land at San Fran
cisco, but were sent back in the
same vessel. A shining example
this of Christian consistency.
