poor places furnish dry, warm lodging
for noon and night, from which the

selves, leave the drOppings, return to
valleys, and feed to the full, to return
and ruminate after drinking. Thus

IMPROVING CATTLE.
All Stages of Evolution and Growth Due to
JudiciOus Feeding.

All Stages of Evolution and Growth Due to
JudiciOus Feeding.
The stunted oak with branches
growing awry, is found upon poor
land. The wild rose, or Towering
plant of any sort, is never improved
by taking it from a position where it
had plenty of loom and was fairly well
nourished, and placing it under less
favorable circumstances, but always
by taking it from crowded position,
giving it's roots plenty of room, and
placing plenty of sustenance within
its reach. We expect dwarfed corn
stalks to bear nubbins, simply because
food has been denied the plant in suf-
ficient quantities. We get the long
ear of corn, with grains to the very
apex of the cob, by giving free susten-
ance. We get knOtted, valueless APP
pies from the scraggy tree that grows
upon a gravely knoll. The same rule
holds with every thing that takes in
nOurishment, and is particularly
brought out as we pass from the feed
ing yards of the prOvident to those of
the imprOvident farmer. The calf
ever SO well bred, if poorly fed, grows
awry, like the stunted oak. Hence,
let a man talk ever so glibly about the
advantages of ''blood," if he indulge
in a slipshod course of feeding, it will
simply result in proving that the Scotch
adage, "half the breed goes in at the
mouth" is practically true. All stages
of evolution and growth in animals and
plants come about in this way. The
twig and the leaf are pushed out from
the limb by the nourishment that is
taken in at the roots and forced up the
trunk. Bones and muscles grow larger
and longer in ratio of the richness of
the blood carried along the arteries,
this richness being entirely dependent
upon liberal supply being taken N OF
the mouth.
In the case of scrub cattle it is often
made to appear that they may be kept
alive upon a meager amount of food,
but it may be accepted as true that no
symmetrical or profitable development
can come to cattle, no matter what the
rate of improvement in their breeding,
unless they are literally fed. Fat COW
ers multitude of faults; and while to
the educated eye no symmetry worth
considering can come to the scrub, still
its faulty formation can be greatly
compensated for, and to quite degree
improved, by feeding with a liberal
hand. A skillful feeder is possessed
of, may we not say, nearly half the art
that belongs to a successful breeder.
The highest art in breeding falls to the
ground if the tissues be not, so to
speak, pushed out to their full surface
capacities, taking on symmetry where
this has been bred into the beast, yet
impossible to be taken on unless the
feed goes with the breed.-NGt507JGt

COLLEGE EXPENSES.

tics and Not Their Pocket-BOOks.

Students Valued According to Their Quail.
ties and Not Their POcket-BOOks.
Many fathers and some sons are ask
ing what a college education costs. It
usually costs more than is necessary.
At Harvard. Yale, Columbia and
Princeton, all of which attract many
students from large and wealthy cities,
there are young men who spend from
three thousand to five thousand dollars
a year. Such students are of no ac-
count, except as a warning and admo-
milton to others. They serve to show
how little good can be obtained by
money unless there are brains and char
acter behind it.
Out of the one hundred and forty
young men recently graduated from
Yale, twenty-three maintained them
selves during the college course. It is
a hard pull. How hard, no one can
fully know unless he has done it. If a
student has grit enough to go through
the ordeal, with discretion not to over
strain mind or body, he is a hero, Of
whose after success in life there can
be little doubt. 1t is usually better
and safer to have some assistance,
either from home or from the future,
and some students get through the year
upon very small sums-one hundred
and fifty dollars to three hundred doll
lars. It can be done without severe
privation for five hundred dollars;
with some ease for six hundred dollars;
with perfect sufficiency for eight hun
bred dollars.
The fact remains, however, that the
average expenditure at the universities
mentioned is about one thousand dol
lars year. A student whose father is
in liberal circumstances, whose habits
are correct, who denies himself no reas7
enable qualification, and belongs to all
the clubs that suit his disposition and
tastes, spends about one thousand five
hundred dollars. More than that is
reckoned excessive; less approaches
the moderate and economical.
It is a great mistake to suppose that
a student is valued or undervalued ac-
cording to the money he expends. The
qualities that commands respect az
college are such as belong to man
himself, not to his father, still less to
his tailor Youths Companion.

AN ANclENr TuNNEL
a Hunters Discovery While Chasing .
Wounded Mountain Lion.


Jere T. Miller, while hunting along Elk
creek, stream in the Rattlesnake noun
tains, discovered an extraordinary tunnel
under a wild and picturesque fall. Miller
had badly wounded a mountain lion. The
animal retreated in the direction of the
waterfall. Following closely the hunter
saw his crippled quarry disappear be-
tween two high rocks, which raised them
selves on the edge of the deep pool formed
by the falling waters. Approaching, the
pursuer found an opening scarcely wide
enough to admit of his entrance. Fear
iessly entering, he found himself in q
wide-vaulted passage dimly lighted by
cracks and seams overhead. This passage,
though rude, was substantial, and was
evidently the work of human hands. Pro-
ceeding along the subterranean way in
which he thus unexpectedly found him.
self, the hunter soon heard above him a
muffled heavy roar that could only come
from falling water. He was standing di-
rectly under the Elk falls. The passage
now widened and deep grottos appeared
on each side of it. Examining these
grottos the explorer found that they
were mining excavations. The
mineral sought evidently
copper, and many chunks of ore largely
and it was plain that masses of it had
been removed. For a quarter of a mile
tn csc grottoes continued. The passage
now began to trend upward, and the seek
er beneath the mountains soon found him.
self in a circular chamber, hewn out of
solid rock and fitted up with rude smelt-
ing appliances.
The light of day streamed in from sever
al apertures pierced overhead, and from
the floor of the chamber to one of these
openings reached a stone chimney. With
this chimney was connected stone fur
mace, situated in the center of the apart
ment, and whose capacious interior was
blackened by the smoke of fires kindIed
ages ago. A small pile of copper ore was
still in front of the furnace, heavy stone
hammer, used in breaking the larger
chunks, lay on the floor, while some cedar
wood was piled in one corner. One of the
openings in the roof was larger than tn Q
others, and has evidently been connected
by a rude ladder or staircase, long ago
rotted away, with the interior of the
/ chamber. This was the mode of ingress
and egress, and as shown by the worn and
smooth sides of the opening, through it
the underground smelter was also supplied
! with fuel.
The hunter searched long and anxiously
for some of the handiwork of these artisans
/ of the long ago, but his search was unre-
wardad. The people who built the vaulted
underground passage and operated the
hidden smelter are unknown. Perchance
the Rattlesnake mountains may have shell.

An Honest Parson,s Fears.



Alfred N. Marcus, a Boston diamond
merchant, lost a package of diamonds
worth five thousand dollars in the Ire
mont House on July 2. The Rev. o. W.
Scott, of Greenwich, R. J., found the gems
and was, he says, $50 dumbfounded that
he kept them three days" Then he de-
termined to find the owner, but, fearful of
being arrested for theft, advertised under
a false name. Mr.. Marcus went to Green
witch, but, of course, was not able to find
q man bearing the name given. Then he
went to the newspaper Office, got the man
uscript of the advertisement, compared
it with the handwriting in the fremont
House register, and decided that it was
written by Mr.. Scott. He communicated
with the clergyman, who at once went to
Boston with the diamonds and turned
them over to Mr.. Marcus. Mr.. Marcus
gave the minister and his wife each a sill
yer watch and 500.

imperious grace of a Diana. She receives
little attention, because she persistently
declines it. l have seen her enter the
theater at a matinee and take the eyes of

Fair Bathers who Wear stays.
TCor. Albany Journal

Bathing dresses this season are worn
shorter in the skirt and with pantalettes
that scarcely show at all. Corsets are
now furnished with every suit, for it is not
an affectation that women adopt when
they say they can not dispense with them.
A corset is even more of support to a
woman than a back of a chair so tired
man sitting down. Wearing corsets
weakens the spinal column, so that at last
it takes the place Of a spine, and the long,
sustained demand for corsets in the water
has at last led to their being considered
part of the dress for the bath.
