Blood Tells.

1t is remarkable how closely a half
blood steer will sometimes resemble q
full blood, says the Line Stock JoDrnat.
Usually there are marks, especially
about the horns, that Enthusiastically Inc
dictate the inferior blood coursing in the
veins of the animal.
But occasionally one is met that may
deceive, by its external appearance,
eve the sharpest expert. This shows
how hard it is to judge an animal on its
own individual merit. which is the fa-
vorite idea with many. This is all very
well, as far as it goes, but unless some
thing is known about pedigree, it Is very
easy to be grossly deceived. The out
come, if this is the only guide in select
ing for breeding purposes, may be very
Disappointing. The liReliest bull or
GOV may breed the most unlikely calf;
and right here comes in another point
that is almost az deceptive as judging
the animal wholly on its individual
merit The young may not give any
sure indication of what they will ulti-
mately develop into. An ungainly,
scrawny-looking calf may develop into
one of the most beautiful and valuable
Of animals; while an admirably we'll
formed and pleasing-looking calf may
grow up to be an object Of sore disap-
pointment Instead Of preserving its
regular proportions, it may fill out in 2
most unaccountably angular shape.
Here. apparent individual merit again
fails to be a reliable guide. We must
know something about the blood in or
der to reach anything like . satisfactory
conclusion. It is a better guide than
individual appearance by itself.

Difference in Social Customs.

The difference in social customs be-
tween Germany and New England is
illustrated by q scene at the recent
celebration at HeideIburg. Heidel.
burg University is q very famous seat
OF learning, and when it celebrat.
ed it's five-hundredth anniversary this
summer, interest in the OCCASION was
not confined by any means to Ger
many or the Germans. After the
historical procession had marched
through the town there was a great
gathering of students, of which this
description is given by q writer in the
London Times:
"All the Students of Germany seemed
to be c~ongregated under the immense
roof, where the voice OF the strongest
speaker from the pulpit in the centre
could not reach anything like q tenth
of his hearers. In a speech full OF
patriotic and personal devotion the
Grand Duke again proposed the
health OF the Emperor, which
was drunk with tremendous en-
thusiasm. as was likewise his own
health, when proposed in most felic.
itous terms by q very hoarse-throat-
ed student. Various other toasts
we're proposed. Between the speeches
songs were sung by the whole Of the
jewellers to the accompaniment OF d
brass band and "thundering salaman,
ders," raped with the beer mugs on
the tables, and much good glass was
smashed to atoms. Thus h festival

GOLDEN ROD.

A golden rod sweet golden rod
Bride OF the autumn sun;
Has he kissed thy blossoms this mellow
morn,
And tiuged them one by one?
Did the crickets sing at the christening,
When. in his warm embrace,
He gave thee love from the fount above,
Aud beauty, and cheer, and grace?
He brishtens the asters, but o they fade
: He reddeEs the sumach tree;
And the cIematis loses its spJwy bloom,
But he's true as truth TO thee.
Scattered on mountain-top or plain,
Unseen by human eye,
He turns thy fringes to bsrnished gold
BY loves sweet alchemy.
Aud then. when the chill November comes,
And the flowers their work have DONE
Thou art still unchanged. dear golden rod,
Bride OF the autumn sun!

/ Western Mans Experience.

A special from Philadelphia to the
N. Y. Times gives q Western mans ex-
p~erience in that city. T~hefollowing is
the story
"You are the man that insulted me,
and this is how | get even" A rather
good-looking, well-dressed, and mus
cular young woman accompanied this
declaration with q straight from-tlfe-
shoulder hit that knocked a dude up
against the Pennsylvania Railroad
ticket office at Broad and Chestnut
streets. The blow caught him straight
between the eyes and smashed his eye
glasses. Before he knew wha5 had
struck him the young woman had fol
lowed up her advantage with half a
dozen more swinging right-handers
that sent the man sprawling over the
pavement. AS he rose to his feet he
was met by another knock-down blow
from the young woman's left. By
this time the angry amazon had dis
carded her cuffs and thrown herself
into a fighting posture. A group OF a
dozen people had gathered and looked
on the encounter with evident wonder,
The man had n swollen eye, q pulled
cheek, and his lip was bleedingcopious,

face of the young woman, who had heI

with telling effect. All the arts and
tricks of the pugilistic ring seemed as
familiar to her as the alphabet, and
the upper cut" the shoulder cut

startling succession. For fully five
minutes the one.sided contest was
kept up, and then the man began tc
