In England they now have a special breed
of goats for the dairy, and an association
has been formed, the best animals registered
in flock book, and n general Improvement
determined on. In fact, an illustration of a
celebrated dairy goat, recently appearing in
an English paper, showed such n capacity of
udder as to compare favorably with some
cows now in our dajries And why should
not the goat be given n useful place among
our domestic animals! If it can be SO inn
proved as to give large quantities of milk, it
will largely contribute to the assistance of
those who have no facilities for keeping u
cow, while their proliiicacy will place them
within the reach of all.
The she goat somtimes gives as much as six
quarts of milk, if they are superior mixers,
and the milk is not only rich in cream, lEt in
all the elements that form n complete food.
Butter is not made from goats milk, but
some of the richest and best favored cheeSes
are produced from it. We predict that ere
long we will begin to import strains of good
milking goats from Europe.-Farm, Field

"SlUMMINGn IN LONDON.
About the ''Jolliest'' Dissipation Known
to the Fashionable World.

There Is one English fashion which the
Anglo maniacs have not yet succeeded in in
Producing in New York, said the European
buyer of u large silk house a few days ago,
land that is Summing. In London, visiting
the slunis is believed to be about the jolliest
and most fetching dissipation known to the
world The subject has been the butt of the
comic weekly artists of London for some
months now and no well-regulated member
of society can afford to miss Summing
party during the season.
.They do it up in great shape over there,
you know. An Englishman must dress for
every expedition, no matter whether it is a
trip to Africa or walk to the corner. In
Summing women run to cloaks and men TO
long coats. These outer garments are be-
lcvcd to ward of disease, though exactly how
they do it when the wearers breathe the foul
air of the slims is difficult to imagine. When
they return to the house of their hostess or
chaperone the young people all throw off
these wraps IN the passage, and the wraps are
aired by the servants and returned by mes
senger the following day. n supper, more or
less elaborate, follows the 'slum,' the excite
ment makes all hands hungry and talkative
There are always two policemen with the
party, and, n n rule, not more than five or
six people go along London tramps are liza
bile to prove surly and ill-tempered when
their homes are invaded.
The party starts from the hostess house in
carriages at IL o'clock or perhaps midnight
although that is pretty late, and drive to the
heart of the London slums. Here they
wander through the quarters of the poor, the
outcast and the lost ones of the great town
pushing their way into rooms where drunken
louts, repulsive women and scraggy and un-
kempt children liz sleeping like SO many
worms in "A bait box. They go everywhere,
for the police do not recognize the rights of
any of the paupers, and bang their way ruth
lessly ahead The high born men and women
gaze upon their dirty fellow creatures visit
their opium dens, their drinking places, dance
halls-or, rather, csllars-and invade their
living rooms. Wh.n they've had all their
stomachs AMI eyes VII stand they return to
their supper. IL n",er occurs To them of
course, that the cost II one such meal as they
discuss would lift IA mountain of misery and
woe from the lacks of the poor they have
just visited. Philanthropy is not a proper
fad now across the N-ater.

Wanted One Of That Sort.

Virgil Williams was once in Rome. Perhaps
some of thosc who know him may have heard
him talk about it. judging from his enthu-
siastic reference to the time he spent there, it
is safe To judge that he must have been one of
the original crowd who made Rome howl
But Virgil is one of the few artists who have
no vices save painting. He is one of the few
who have the self-respect of art, and, while a
Bohemian, he has none of the bohemian fail
ings except that-welI, he's a crank But it
is agreeable to meet a man who feels the dig
nifty of anything but money in these days,
well-perhaps Virgil would be n big
millionaire il he hadn't some sense of the dig
nifty of art.
Virgil relates that once upon "A time there

blunt, outspoken fellow, and did not pretend

ing to sell pictures to him. Virgil had started
in on a canvas intended to represent con-
fessional scene, and he had it rounded off at
the top for some artistic effect other. He
changed his idea, and painted some simple
figure kneeling ut a shrine or something, and
he had this picture on his easel when the
jovial millionaire called upon him. The mil

OeRSES AND THEIR DRIVERS.
a Radical Error-Crueity to Animals.
The Friendly Manhood Results.


Very many years ago made up my mind
that when there was a quarrel between a
cnd a horse, in nine cases out OF ten
th was in the wrong Continued OBJ
scr.ation has only served to confirm this
belief
The radical error into which drivers fall is
tir. Is..icf that the horse knows perfectly
what is wanted of him aud will not do it.
Tiicn the driver proceeds to show that he Is
the master, and in the vast majority of cases
the horse is punished without the slightest
i a why ha Is so treated.
For IA horse to understand instantly what
his driver desires, there must exiS: a pleasant
feeling between them. The horse must feel
confidence in his driver. With one driver
a horse will show himself fearless of loco
motives, and with another he Will dread
them One man will drive n horse fifteen
miles with no more fatigue to the animal
than another will produce in driving him tea
Nothing tends more to cruelty to animals
than cowardice. The man who has n lurking
fear of his beast is the one who treats him
the most harshly. The man who is afraid of
no horse is just the man who treats all kindly.
He Is perfectly aware that there Is always
danger with horses; but he also knows that
this does not depend upon the horse, but
mostly comes from some extraneous source,
the bad driving of others whom he meets on
the ROAD, or accltieht OF some sorI ne HIS u
friendly feeling toward his beast, as being n
willing and useful servant and companion,
ready to do his whole duty, and more than
his duty. So there springs up pleasant feel

I This old fort, to which brave Capt Craw-
ford's body was brought by slow, sad marc hes,
has history Of it's own. The story dates as
war; In July, 1862, Gen. Carleton camped
here on his way east to the war, with d body
Of California volunteers. He stopped here
because water was struck at this spot,
Water was more precious than gold Oh those
long desert marches. II was necessary to
guard the springs from the Apaches, in order
10 keep the route, OF travel open So COM
pany of soldiers was left, and the place was
named Fort Bowie.
There was not Recommendation to the
spot except that springs Of fresh water were
there. It was down in the heart Of a savage,
iesolate mountain region. The mountains
slope to the north. Their sides are covered
with sage brush and cactus, and the ground
Is wild and broken with rocks.
The place is on the military route from
rucsonk Santa Fe. The soil Is like much OF
the rest Of the country hersabouts, only bar
rem from want OF irrigation. As that is
being accomplished the region Of what the
old biographies called the Great American
Desert Is gradually being transformed into
grain fields and garden& They say the word
Arizona means arid zone.
Bowie is the Oldest garrisoned fort in Ari-
aona. At the outbreak Of tho war the other
military stations were abandoned, and when
Hen. Carleton left the little company Of Cali
fornia volunteers at this place in 1883 there
was not q United States soldier in the terri
sory. The Apache Indians were as hostile to
the government then as they are now, and
when they saw the other forts abandoned it
Is said they fancied they had conquered the
United States. It is to be hoped Geronimo's
repeated escapes will not incline them to the
same opinion now.
Fort Bowie has been greatly improved in
the last few years.
