DOMESTIC CATTLE.


Valuable Scientific Facts Relating 70 Fthe
.N Origin Of the BsitIsh breeds. t,
Prof. Boyd Dawkins. Is the result OF
his investigations as to the origin OF
British breeds of cattle, believes the two
principal stocks from which oil the
breeds are descended are undoubtedly
az the Urus, an animal wild in the
forests Of Europe later than the days OF
Charles the Great, and VIII oh is be-
lieved to have been extinct in the Brit
ish Isles; (2) the Bos longifrons. or
"small Celtic Short Horn" an animal
which never was aborignally wild in
Europe. Both were probably domesti-
Gated in As a, and both made their ap-
pearance together in the Neolithic age,
in the possession OF those who lived on
the wooden plat orms and artificial
islands in the Swiss lakes. The remains
of the latter are, he says, to be found
all over Europe in refuse heaps belong
ing to various periods, from the Neo-
1.-the age down to within the historical
period. 1t is the only domestic OK
which he has met with in the large
number of refuse heaps in the British
Isles, ranging from the neolithic age
down to thetim OF the Engl sh invas on,
and is represented by the present High
land cattle, small Welsh and small Irish
cattle. ........
The first, or the Urus stock, preserved
to Great Britain almost in its aboriginal
purity in the so-called wild cattle of
Chllingham, he has been unable to
trace further back than the invasion OF
Britain by he English and of Ireland
by the Scandinavans. As the evidence
stands, it was unknown in these islands
as a domesticated animal before this
time.
The present breeds are, in the opinion
Of Prof. Hawkins. descended frJm the
two stocks, and are the result OF cross
ing and selection. The polled cattle
are considered to be the result of selec-
ton in which advantage has been taken
of a tendency to revert to an ancestral
hornless type, probably as far back as the
Miocene age. He would expect to meet
with them from tine to time in every
breed, just as from me to time horse
is born with three toes, which have been
derived from his remote Miocene an.
cestor, the Anchiterium. On this point
it is interesting to note the polled skull
of Bos etruscus IN the Florence
museum, belonging to fossil species
unusually horned, living along with ex
tinct elephants and rhinocerO ant
other animals in the pla MS of Lom
hardy, in the Nal d. Arno. Lord Sci
kirk's letter to Prof. Dawkins show
how the horns were bred out of thu
Galloways. and his version is confirmed
by the independent evidence elected b!
Youatt. The Galloways, however, b.
says, were not the only polled cattle il
Britain, although they were the ances
} tors of those of the Norfolk and Suf
folk breeds. The Gislurne cattle, nov

TEMPERANCE VICTORIOUS

The Good Cause ss.tained by tho su.
preme Court Of the Unitsd stAtes-Wiii
the Laws BE Upheld by ahe Late Con-
vention Of Liquor Dealers:
The Temperance people Of Iowa are
very jubilant over the late decision OF
the Supreme Court ofthe United States.
The liquor men have tried to have all
the injunction cases against the saloons
transferred from the State courts to
the Federal courts on the ground that
the injunction proceeding was in con.
flict with the Federal constitution. The
Supreme Court of the United States de-
cides that there is no conflict and has
remanded all the cases back to tho
State courts. The Temperance people
should 60 to work now with will and
shut up every saloon in the State of
Iowa Already large number of the
saloons in Sioux City have been
closed for violation of the in
junction, and all the costs of tie
trial charged to the saloonkeepers.
And since the National convention Of
liquor dealers have adopted the follow
ing resolutions, it seems as if the cause
of Temperance ought to take mighty
stride forward
Resolpsd, That It IL the duty Of all good
citizens to obey the laws If our country, ana

This action taken in Chicago seems
to have stirred up the city government
there, for resolution was unanimous
ly adopted by that body to suppress all
the low dives and disreputable places
in the city upon information given by
the police or other reliable parties.
1t seems from the above that public
opinion is bracing itself up. and is ex.
erting an influence for good even upon
the liquor men, awakening in them a
sembiancc of moral sense, ut least
which it has been long supposed they
did not possess

SOME "NATlvE" WINE.

The Vile and Dangerous STUFF. Seized by
Health OHicer. Wnich r cures in the
Market as the Pure Article.
1t is a well-known fact that nothing
is 30 easy of adultcration and imitation
as wine, and that apart from the evil
effects of wine-dr mixing in other ways,
the imbib,rs are very likely to get
poisoned by the fore gn substances that
some dealers introduce into their goods.
An illustration of this is furnished
by the case which DR.. Edison, Of the
Health Board, reported lately. At No.
"a Front street, Brooklyn, he found
one W. j. Booracm making swine"
after this fashion: Dried fruits. as
raisins, currants and peaches of low
grade, are maccratcd with water, to
which certain amount of sugar is
added. The mixture is then formented,
and when fermentation is considered
sufficiently advanced it is checked by
the addition of salicy ic acid, sufficient
acid being added to act as preserva-
tive and prevent further fermentation.
The so-called wine is then clarified,
favored and co ored to cause 1t to re-
semble port, claret or any desired kind
Of wine.
OF course the object in view is to i'm
ltate and undcrscll genuine native
wines. Aside from any injurious prop
critics there may be in the flavoring
and coloring matter, enough salicylic
acid is used to prOIuce very serious
effect. Itsu as a prcservative is for
hidden in France by law. In very mi
mute quantities it may be innocuous,
but in this case DIR. EdsOn found about
nine grains to the quart PLENTY to

Five thousand two hundred and eighty
gallons of this stuff were seized at this

lyn; and such establishments exist not
only in Brooklyn and New York, bu,
in other cities of the State, and even
in villages. So long as people will
drink wine, and so long as such stuff
can be made and sold at profit, these
establishments I'll exist. The risk o.
