More Disturbances In Chicago.

On the Sth inst. there began another
formidable strike at the stock yards for
eight hours day. The old workmen as
saulted the newly employed. As the norm
ing progressed the strikers became more OBJ
stinate and the deputy sheriffs found grea ter
difficulty in dispensing them. About
O'Clock the crowd at the yards got more
noisy, and assaults on non-union men be-
came more frequent. Two regiments OF
military were ordered out and went to the
scene. A proclamation was issued by
Sheriff Hancock saying:
On and after Nov. 8 and until further
notice, entrance to Packingtown will be
open for admission for all men who desire
TO 60 to work, and for all persons who de-
sire to do business with packing houses or
in the stock yards. No other person will
be admitted. Ample protection Will be
furnished for all men who desire to so to
work.
A meeting of packers was held in the di-
rectors room OF the boar9 OF trade. Rep
resentatives of every one OF the packing
houses were present. The decision reached
was unanimous. After discussing the sit
uation the resolutions were drafted and
adopted without Il dissenting voice. The
signatures OF the packers were then attix-
ed. Only those strikers will be taken back
to work who will sign an agreement to re-
nounce all connection with the knights oi

A Meteoric Discovery.

When a mans system is soaked full
of science he isn't fit for much of any
thing else. If his taste runs to bug
ology he will neglect his family to as
sociate with long legged grasshoppers,
and squander valuable time cultivating
the acquaintance of worms whose early
education has been neglected. If he
likes geology he will pass his life in a
vain endeavor to find to what a rock
belongs that was petritied last year.

tist, but some of my friends, for whose
intelligence have the highest respect.
say it is because 1 haven't any better
sense. Be that as it may I have fallen
into the habit of watching the stars. 1t

nights scanning the starry heavens,

hoped for the day to come when I
could lay my hand on meteor Of my
own, and pat it on the back. I have
longed to have meteor that would
come up and eat out of my hand, and
frolic around me all day long.
Last night just as was about to re-
tire, looked out at the starry heavens
to see if somebody's meteor hadn't
broken its halter and made it's escape
by the light of the moon. What was
my surprise and JOY to see luminous
object rise above the eastern horizon
and come almost directly toward me
with terrible swiftness. It was mag
nifcent specimen, and SO near the
earth surface that l knew it must
soon fall. Here was my opportunity
to study the habits and peculiarities of
the frisky meteor.

of where 1 stood, and forgetting my

How to Care For the Complex
ion

Cleanliness is sine the qua non of
beauty of the complexion, though it
does not play great part in the health
of the skin.
Water is serviceable to the skin in
only moderate amounts and at moder-
ate temperatures. Very cold or warm
baths. when used in excess, dimish the
elasticity of the skin and its power of
resistance to external irritants.
Distilled and so-called soft water are
more suitable for washing and less irri-
tating than hard water.
The hard soda soaps are usually pre-
ferable to the soft potash soaps for
toilet purposes. The quality of soaps
depends upon the quality of their con-
stituents and the thoroughness of their
saponifcation. Good soaps must not
contain free alkali or any foreign irri-
tating substance. The addition of mod
crate quantities of perfumes does not
materially change the quality.
Simple. finely ground powders, such
as starch, magnesia, ETC., are entirely
innocuous and often act as useful pro-
lection against external irritants.
Frequent application of alcohol Gas
in bay rum, Florida water, cologne
spirits, etc.) abstracts the water of the
skin, makes it dry and brittle and i'm
pairs its nutrition. This is also true of
glycerine.
All toilet washes containing alcohol
to any considerable extent should be
avoided. This is true to still greater
extent of other additions to washes.
such as corrosive sublimate, mineral
acids, certain metallic salts, etc.
Camphor acts merely as bleaching
powder. This is also true of benzoic
resin. sulphur flowers and substances
containing tannic acid.
The use of sweet-smelling oils and
fats should be employed to greater
extent than is now done for toilet pur-
poses,
This is particularly true with regard
to the growth of the hair. The nutri-
ton of the scalp should be increased
by the rational application of fat (for
example, in the form of oil baths by
means of application at night of q
sponge soaked in oil upon the scalp)
and the greater use of simple pomades.
These should be applied to the roots Of
the hair rather than the shafts.
Substances should be avoided, or
sparingly used. which abstracts water
from the skin and the roots of the hair.

, A Great Cattle Range.

The great plateau between the Rocky
Mountains and the Sierras, comprising
the territory of Utah and the state of
Nevada, is apparently destined to be-
come the greatest cattle range in the
country. Already immense tracts of
land, some embracing nearly two hum
dred and fifty thousand acres, have
been purchased, and owners of large
herds in Texas and other southwestern
states are looking for ranges in this
wide section of natural pasture land.
The pressure of settlers who wish to
engage in agriculture and found homes
upon the lands in the great fertile
plains of the west and south has been
to crowd out the cattle kings who have
for years monopolized the largest part
Of the states which by nature are better
fitted for the raising of crops than for
the pasturage of herds. Thus there
has begun hegira of cattlemen toward
the west, which bids fair to aid mater
tally in the development of those
great sections of our country
that have hitherto been left al
most exclusively in the hands Of
Indians and peripatetic gold hunters.
This movement of stockmen toward
the west is a matter of considerable
Importance to the people of this coast,
for the region that will be appropriated
by them is by nature tributary to Cal
ifornia, which should be benefited by the
establishment Of great moneyed inter-
ests in locality from which up to this
time little benefit compared with the
extent of country have been derived.
The cattlemen also are the precursors
Of the husbandman, who. when coun-
try has become to some extent settled,
would readily seek in it opportunities
for agriculture; and it may confidently
be expected tnat there will, before
many years are passed. be more agri-
cultual land discovered in Utah and Ne.
vada than has been believed to exist
there. SON Francisco BMlletim.

Salisbury ON the Bulgarian Difficulty.

Lord Salisbury, in speech at the lord
mayors banquet at Guildhan recently,
said, in referring to Bulgaria: The sympa-
thies OF the English people were aroused
by the spectacle OF her struggle for indie
pendence. and the language of diplomatic
menace used toward Bulgaria had caused
the deepest regret. A midnight conspiracy
Led by men dsbauched by foreign gold had
hunted Prince Alexander from the throne
Of Bulgaria and outraged the conscience
and sentiment OF Europe. The injustice OF
this deed was aggravated by foreign diplo-
macy saving the conspirators, an act oil in
terference which caused reprobation
throughout Europe. Bulgarian rights were
assured by the Berlin treaty, on which the
salvation OF Europe depended. English
interest in that treaty was not an isolated
interest. Other powers also were interest
ed in the vindication OF the treaty. He
was sure that If majority Of the signato-
ry powers recognized the fact that it was
their duty to enforce the treaty, England
would not be found backward in CO. operat-
ing with them. II Englands individual in
terests only were affected, England would
ask no counsel and would seek to assist
ance, but would defend her int srests with
her own arm; but in this instance she
would not accept the responsibility OF iso-
lated action. The government policy was
shaped in harmony with that OF Austria.
He trusted that the peace would not be
disturbed and that under the influence oil
public opinion the infant liberties OF Bull
garia would not be disturbed.

Glover Aftermath.

When the clover crop has been cut
for hay, one is sometimes at loss how
to manage the aftermath, in the best
manner. There are several ways of
utilizing it. One is to pasture it and
leave the sod for plowing under next
spring for corn or potatoes. II this is
done it is we'll to make some provision
for top-dressing the field early in the
fall for the purpose of enriching the
soil and fastening the growth of clover
in the spring. A good stand of luxur-
liant clover, a foot high, turned under,
is eqnal to forty loads of manure for
the next crop, and this is we'll worth
securing. Another way is to leave the
aftermath for seed, and take whatever
can be gained in that way This is q
method of getting immediate returns,
as it were, by skinning an animal and
taking the hide instead of waiting until
it is fat-Nes0 York Times.

Care of an Apple Orchard.

The lack of manure and cultivation,
and general lack of proper care for
orchards are the causes, in great
part, OF their sterility. Neglected Or
chards produce small quantities of
small, poorly-favored and poorly
ripened fruit The orchard should be
supplied with all the manure the trees
can appropriate, and the trees will
then be vigorous and will show it by a
good growth of wood and handsome
fruit. When the trees do not make a
free growth of wood it is certain that
they are in ill condition and need the
assistance of fertilizers and cultiva-
tion-probably, also, judicious pruning,
cleaning the bark, and the destruction
of worms and insects:-T Tck's Maga-

CLEVELAND. o., Feb. defective
Eeves arrived in the city to-day with Ed
warded Crowl, who was arrested yesterday
at Newburg. N. Y. There are several
charges of forgery pending against Crowl
here. Several years ago the young mans
father died, leaving a handsome fortune
and a good business in the hands of his
wife. Mrs. Crowl intrusted the manage
ment of the business TO Edward. lie
speculated in stocks and used his mother
money, drawing it from the bank without
her knowledge. In June, 1884, she dis
covered that he had %squandered about
sl00, 600 which she had placed on de-
posiL and that his business was ruined.
Very little was saved from the wreck.
Crowl disappeared Just after the exposure,
and suits were recently begun against
Mrs. Crowl to recover on notes held by
several banks. She set up the plea hat
they were forgeries, and warrants were
issued for Edwards arrest Four war
rants were served on Crowl to-day. The
aggregate value of the notes alleged ia
have been forged thus far presented in
court is oven 500, 900. Bail was fixed in
the several cases at $24, 600, and the pris-
oner was lodged in Jail. Crowl refuses tC
say anything about the cases.
