The Girls are Right.
Milwaukee sentinel.

milwaukee SENTINEL.
A war has begun in Atlanta against
the parlor beaux-young men who
like TO spend an agreeable evening
with young ladies at their homes, but
who never ask the young ladies to go
to the theater or any other place where
money is necessary. One young wo-
man SAYS, with disgust, tina: young
men sLend evenings in her parlor and
tell her all about the performances
they have attended alone.
This is timely and wholesome war
fare. Any evening numbers OF young
men may be seen at the Milwaukee
theaters alone, although they are
known to be society young men and
| indefatigable parlor beaux. They GO
to the theater whenever there is any
thing worth seeing, alone, although
they are able to take young ladies.
There never was time when young
men were so Indifferent to the just
claims of young ladies. There Is an
understood rule that the 'Oung man
shall make some recognition OF a
courtesy at the hands of young
adv. but if he does this he certainly
.ioos 10 more. There is no escaping
me conviction that the young man
who is constantly enjoying the society

ARTIFICIAL NOSES.
The Abnormal ProbOscis which Beionged
TO q French Senator.

French SENATOR
Artificial noses are generally attached
to the face by spectacles. About five
years ago San Francisco dentist made
for Chinese woman, whose face was
horribly disfgured. cellulOid nose.
The organ was attached by gold
spring to the upper jaw. in the manner
in which single teeth are affixed. The
spring ran up 20 where the bridge OF
the nose should have been, and to this
spring the artificial nose and lip were
attached by an india-rubber loop. The
combined pressure of the spring and
india-rubber drew the celluiOid mask
so close to the face that, being nodded
TO fit the cheeks, it would have looked
unite natural but for the lack Of that
TRANSPARENCY which living tissue pos
sesses. OF course, our funny para
grapher had to have his say after this
bit of news appeared. He at once
boldly stated that a man out West had
a cork nose. ''When he keeps sober.
said the writer, lit gives him no troublei
hut when he is out drinking with
friends they want to borrow 1t for
stopper every time they lose their corkS
out of their TASKS"
There is a true story of 4 French
Senator, q very handsome man, who
had a large nose of which he was some
what proud. He was once riding IN q
train. when q child. who was in the
same carriage. and who had watched
the statesman for some time with dila-
ted eyes, began to cry IS if its heart
would break The mother could not
console it. The little one was afraid
of the Senator'S big nose, and the
mother quietly explained that her child
had Just come from the masquerade.
, where he had been particularly excited
! BY the display of large noses She
: concluded by requesting the statesman
to take off his nose, ''for you, | see, she
: explained. ''for some good reason best
: known to yourself are prolonging the
I carnival" The Senator protested
! that he could not accommodate her,
assuring the lady that his prOboscis was
not a false one, but his own. Touch
it." said he. The lady gave pull at
the Senator'S nose, but it did not come
off in her hand. "a thousand par
dons." she said, "but pray-oh, pray
hide it with your hat?' The distin'
guished statesman complied with thi:
singular request, continued his jour
new with his nose in his hat. and the
child's screams subsided.-BrooStyF

Chinese Diplomacy.

Prince Bismarck complained not
long ago of the wav our Foreign Offics
inundated him with dispatches. bus
even the writing powers of Downing
street would not be patch upon thosa
of Chinese statesmen. A mastery pol
lev of inaction is there studied TO per-
lection, and it is rare that any case Is
settled until reams of paper have been
covered in thrashing out every detail
A Chinese dispatch must be written IN
a certain stereotyped form, and IN
acknowledging a dispatch you must
first begin by quoting in extenso all tho
documents to which you are replying
This system of reproducing all tina
previous correspondence proves very
cumbersome as the case gradually de-
velops. Like lady's letter, however,
the pith of a Chinese communication
generally lies in the postscript, and .
practiced hand will grasp the meaning
at q glance. The Viceroy Of Chiness
province peruses some hundreds OF
these documents every day, and at
taches a minute to each in q business
like style, which is not excelled by our
best organized departments at home

VALUE OF ENSlLAGE.
An English Commissioners Views on Its

An English Commissioners Views on Its
Merits and Dement'S
The subject of ensilage is always in
teresting. The farmers of Great Brit
ain are especially enthusiastic in rela-
ton to the value and advantages of
this form of fodder. A British COM
missioner appointed to inquire into the
merits and dement's of ensilage re-
ports rs follows, among other things,
upon the value of ensilage:
at is obvious that unless the forage
in weighty condition be Of more feed
inc value per acre than when saved IN
less weighty form there can be no gain
70 the farmer. 1t has been contended
that the loss in weight, in the process
of driving, is simply loss of water by
eyaporation. and that by avoiding this
nothing is saved. If such were truly
the case. dry forage should give the
same feeding results per acre as green
forage. No practical farmer would
contend that it does so. and the differ
ence is especially noticeable in the case
of dairy stock. So far as We have been
able to ascertain the opinion of COM
petent men on this subject, we estimate
the value of green forage well pre-
served in a silO at somewhat more than
one-third. weight for weight, of the
value of the same material made into
hay under favorable conditions.
1.-The very wide difference OF value
between good and bad silage can not De
too strongly insisted upon. 1t Is found
that grass well preserved in silo,
after deduction for loss. will yield ap'
proximately five times the weight o.
the same grass made into hay. We
have, therefore, say five tons of Silage
which, taken at one-third of the valu;
of hay per ton yields a profit of oveI
| sixty per cent. as compared with one
| ton of hay. III We take it at one

small sum monthly in addition to the
monthly payments for lands. A cottage
can be built at a very moderate cost, and
fruit orchard or vineyard can be set
out without leaving his or her home for
day. The purchaser can have his
lands cultivated in such crops as he de-
sires, and have the latter shipped direct
ly to his home where he can dispose of
them at good prices. A crop Of sweet
potatoes grown on five acres of land
ought to yield one thousand bushels.
This is low estimate, as potatoes have
been known to yield eight hundred
bushels TO the acre. Making the esti-
mate at two hundred bushels per acre
gives one thousand bushels for the Eve

could get for the potatoes In your mar
ket, and the profits that you could make
on them from the time the land was
cleared until your fruit trees and vines
come into paying condition. Peanuts
will also do we'll; Irish potatoes and
other vegetables will grow successfully,

will yield larger income than any 9TH

his summers at his home IN the North.
He has settled then In his mind as to
when he shall go and what he shall do,
and has none of those perplexities to
contend with which usually confront a

vanish, nor will it decrease in value.
On the contrary 1t will share in the
general prosperity of the country and
will grow in value as the villages near
