Farm, Field. ind Etoclman.
The Devon IS not considered the best
breed for beef, milk or butter. vet It com
bines ali those qualities to a certain ex-
tent and considering It's hardness,
activity and ability to exist on seantv
pasture, it Is really one Of the most de
sirable Of our breeds. As work oxen the
Devon are superior to all other cattle,
being rapid walkers, strong and endur-
ing. If we were asked to recommend
some special breeds for crossing natives
that are accustomed to picking mp their
food in the woods, or on abandoned
fields, with steep hillsides to climb, we
do not think any breed could compare
with the Devons for that purpose. We
admit that the beef breeds viii increase
the weight or the carcasses, and that the
butter and milk breeds viii cause larger
yields, but the conditions must be
changed to conform to the object desired,
and therefore the pastures and grazing
must be better. We are not favorable
to the recommendation Of any breed that
does not induce the farmer to adopt bet
ter methods as well as better stock, but
there are those who think it economical
to turn their COWS on the woods and
bare places, and who viii not improve
with any class Of stock that can NOT exist
under such circumstances. The Devon
is the best for this purpose, and though
We place the Devon In such a position,
yet 1t is not because It can not be made
useful in other respects. 1t is really an
excellent breed, is large, makes good
beef, gives rich milk, and more than the
average quantity, and, ike other classes
Of stock, does best on good pastures and
kind treatment, being one Of he most
useful breeds known.

There are so many ways IN which girls
can be amusing, entel tanning and useful
to themselves and others that It seems a
great pity that any Of them should resort
to the common vices Of coarse men. That
they do SO in the evening entertainments
of private and elegant homes, and at the
most fashionable summer resorts, appears
to be beyond question. And that the
results viii appear in unlooked-for de
mOralizations IN the future of what is
called good society may be set down as
among the certainties of natural law
Young ladies may not be expressly sus-
ceptible to such pr0sy moral arguments;
but they should not forget that the
young men who gamble with them, and
who appear to enjoy the fun lose their
respect for young ladies in the exact
measure that the latter ceases to be gov
erned by the fine WOmanly feelings and
standards Of character. Men may laugh
at the shrewdness Of a girl in game Of
cards for stakes, but she is not the girl
they VIII trust or honor, or whom they
care to mqrry. That is an argument to
the quick, and may find its way home.
The man who marries a gambling girl is
already an insipient sutton In a divorce
court

RestaratIon - EsstIIs

The bastile is going to be restored.
One OF the sights Of the Paris exhibition,

affairs Of 1889 and was turned into a
meeting house and place of amusement
is to be utilized for an exhibition ade
lutherie." This has nothing to do with
Luther, but means that all the musical
instruments Of the present time VIII be
exhibited In the temple; concerts viii be
given occasionally from the music of the
old masters, such as Grstry and MehuL
1t Is said that the organizers Of the ex-
hlbltlOn are on the lookout for souvenirs
OF the revolution. They are after AIarat's
bath, which was recently sold by a Bre-
ton cure for several thousand francs
They Will probably also try to get the
original guiIlOtine, If it was not It which
the communists burned, or hunt up the
red cap Of liberty which Louis wore
when he put his head out Of the window
In the Tuileries. Having once rebuilt
the bastlles they must clearly have the
original key which was presented to
Washington by Lafayette, and the an
niversary exhibition can not possibly be
complete unless the famous prison is re-
stored and destroyed again.

HowGrant Learned Strategy.


Once while talking with Gen. Grant, I
asked him how he got his strategic
knowledge.
81 got It on the farm when I was a
boy" said the general. 81 learned it
when I was driving oxen, feeding calves,
and breaking horses. One day, when I
was on the Old farm in Ohio, my father
taught me a valuable lessonin strategy
"HoWp I asked.
"Well, father took me into the stable
one day where a row OF cattle stood In
their uncleaned stalls.
''Said he: ulysses, the stable window
is pretty high for a boy, but do you
think you could take this shovel and
clean out the stable?'
'''L don't know, father says I; Il
never have done it.
'''Well, my boy, if you VIII do it this
morning III give you this bright silver
dollar, said my fothsr Patting me on my

fore my eyes.
Good, says I; 'ru try and then [
went to work. 1 tugged and pulled and
lifted and pulled, and fnaIlyit was done,
and father gave me- che bright silver

"'That's right, Ulysses, you did it

THE SACRED TENT OF WAR.
The Gift of an Indian Tribe to the Peabody
Museum.

Museum.
Boston Herald.
! The eighteenth and nineteenth annual
report Of the trustees Of the Peabody
/ Museum Of American Archaeology and
Ethnology to the president and fellows
! of Harvard College, have Just appeared
| together In one handsome pamphlet
Among the articles added to the collec-
/ lions in 1884 was a contribution of great
| interest and value, secured by Miss Alice
/ W. Fletcher, as a result Of her remarka-
! bic and self-sacri6cing chronological re-
searches among the Omaha Indians in
| Dakota. This is nothing less than the
contents Of ssThe Sacred Tent Of War" of
the Omaha tribe, given by the tribe as a
proof Of their eaEnestness in adopting a
new life, abandoning their tribal system,
and taking up lands in severalty as citi-
zens, according to the arrangements by
the government. As Prof Putnam says,
one must enter fully into the inmOst re-
cess Of Indian thought and customs in
order to appreciate the great importance
of the trust the museum has in its per
Petual keeping, for it Is comprised Of OBJ
iects which, for generations, have been
held sacred among the Omahas.
Miss Fletcher thus characterizss the
collection IN a letter, IL which she gives
the pathetic speech Of the chief in pre-
senting it.
'The sacred tent Of war was vital to
the autonomy Of the tribe. Without it.
war and craftsmanship were impossible
1t gave rank to the tribe among other
tribes and caused the Omahas to be fear
ed as enemies and consulted as friends.
The present act of the keepers Of the
sacred articles are without a parallel.
The utting away Of these ancient signs
and symbols Of authority, without any
icOnoclasm, but with the sober epprecia-
ton that a new era is upon the people,
wherein they have no part or place,
marks the Omaha tribe as possessed of
men having extraordinary degree Of
mind and character. To our own race
these relics may appear strange, trivial.
or fOrbidding; they are certainly objects
unidealizsd to our thoughts, but they
have a significance which tells of oour-
age and self-devOtion. These noble traits
lie at the base Of the act that has laid
these articles among the historical re-
mains Of the Indian race; a race Of the
past, whose only future lies in the posi-
biGties OF American citizenship. To-day
as Ma-hin-thin-gae came to put MS
sacred charge out Of his keeping and In
to that OF the museum, / could not but
wish that his brave and unique act
might find its worthy place in history.
In a low voice he said: f'Thess sacred
articles have been In my family for many
generations, no one knows how long.
Ny sons have chosen q different path
from that trOddsn by their fathsfs. I

upon him, but he was dead as q snail
The bullet from her revolver had struck
him full in the ear, and he never knew
what hit him.
We turned to the coach, and there
was little Mrs. Dobbs crying Just like
woman, while the smoking revolver lay
on the seat. We Just lifted her down
and Rugged her as If We were her i've
brothers, for she had saved the crowd a
matter Of $4,000.
We couldn't press a present upon her,
but before We got to Eureka three Of us
had proposed marriage to her. The
other two men we're already married, and
so they lost their chance.

Springfield (ALass.} Union.
A year ago last June a boy in one of
our grammar schools, finding the whole
some ana necessary restraints Of his
school and even home, somewhat irksome,
decided that he had gathered all the
honey there was to be found In the vari-
Gus realms OF knowledge. He accord
ingly left school and went to work In
that larger and untried schOol-the
world. He evidently has found the field
a little larger and a little more stony
than he expected for he is now so anxious
to return that during the vacation now
drawing to a close he made his way into
the schO0l-hOuse and wrote upon
prominent blackboard, in plain char
acters, the following to which he at
tached his name: ST regret my rash act
Of leaving school before my education
was completed, and I hereby request
that I be received back into the arms Of
my teachers and W-schOOlmates. -

The late Professor Morren related
once in our hearing a rebuke which us
gave to a high-strung Beacon Hill 60m-
sci, which is worth repeating rol me
moral it carries. The young lady was
one Of his pupils, and made herself par
ticularly obnoxious by her naughty and
even insOlent bearing, displaying her
contempt for all about her so markedly
that it became at last unbearable. al

professor, whose broken English there is
no need Of producing here, land she was
a most exquisibaly modest and unassum-
ing woman. But the daughter was so
insOlent that she had to have @ lesson;
so said to her: viii you be so good
as to remain after the lesson? have

in her haughtest manner she says: You

it. And she was q good girl afterwards,

WISE and shrewdly wOrded reproof could
not sink into the hearts of many a young
girl to-day who foolishly fancies she is
asserting the lOftiness Of her social posi-
ton by an insolence which only proves
that she IS not sufficiently sure Of
her standing to cease to be troubled
about it. 1t takes a good many genera
tons to set one socially so high that one
does not need to cOndescend to any
human being.

Cream Deception.

Practical Farmer.
People who use creameries sometimes
boast Of the thickness Of the cream, and
really do have an astonishing per cent Of
cream. It must be remembered, how
ever, that where cream is raised rapidly,
as it is in the ice-eOOling creameries, the
cream is lighter or thinner than when it
is raised In the old way by the milk be
ing set in pans. The per cent Of bulk,
then, as to milk, is not so great as when
set up IN a pan, as it were, by the cool
temperature of the milk, but the per cent
OF butter as to cream viii be much
greater. More butter can be made by
the ordinary dairyman, or on the aver
age, by the use Of creameries and ice, be
cause if properly managed all of the
cream may be had, and once obtained
there is no reason why It should not be-
come butter. 1t is impossible for every
body, or half Of anybody, to so handle
milk through the summer, and in hot
weather particularly, by the common
methods, so that its full capacity for but
ter producing can be obtained. Now and
then there is one who has all the natural
facilities, such as cool, dry cellar, cold
water, etc, to make good butter. These
are 'talents" which should be made use
of, not hid. 1t is a business opening
every one does not have.

American 1Ierino sheep.


No other class Of stock has been SO
greatly improved by American breeders
as Merino sheep. The choicest animals
from Spanish, French and SIesian hocks
were Imported to the United States.
From these by skillful selection, breed
ing and care, was built up the American
type 81 merino, eZcslling in weight and
quality Of fleece, shape Of carcass and
hardness any Of its European prOgen;-
tors. The MerinO sheep business has
been subject to violent fluctuations,
caused mainly by changes in the laws
regulating the tariff on wool. But it has
survived them all, and is now on a frmer
basis than a year ago. This fact proves
that it has a permanent place in Ameri-
can husbandry. Sheep Of the sO-caIlsd
mutton" breeds are rapidly increasing
in numbers throughout the eastern and
middle states, and are adding largely to
the natural wealth. But the Merino is
peculiarly the American breed of sheep.
It hourishes in all ATTITUDES, from the
heated plains Of Arizona to the blizzard
swept prairies of the northwest. 1t runs
in countless hOcks, and produces a fleece
for which there is 10 substitute In the
industries of the world. There is still
room for improvement In the mutton
qualities, and this can, without doubt, be
supplied by iudiciOus breeding.
