United States is pretty fair place TO
live in after ALL Though he did not
avoid the subject of the war and for
mer sectional differences, he expressed
the belief that the North and the South
have reached sbage in their history
when they can lock arms and march
through "the corridors of time" to the
music OF the Union. Let us see-Sec-
rotary Lamar is a Southern man.
Mr. Blaine has been making a tour

HOMAGE TO MANHOOD.

President CIeyeIand's Fitting ReSs1ss3Dn
at the Hands of Harvard's Sciias-rs.
Both Old and Youns-Instructive Wards.
There was warmth and hcartiness
about the greeting extended to Mr..
Cleveland in Boston that testified how
close and strong are the bonds that
unite him to the people. 1t was spon-
taneous tribute to faithfuS official,
honest, straightforward public servant,
who places duty before every thing and
is staunch and truce under ali circum-
stances. In the oldest and most emf
nent university in America, surrounded
by the most distinguished representa-
tives of New England education and
culture, the Democratic President
was the recipient of honors and
courtesies sof which any man
might be proud. From the reTered
president of Harvard down to tho
youngest graduate, every one was
eager to testify his respect and adj
miration for Mr.. Cleveland. While
much of this enthusiasm was owing to
the high Office of the distinguished
visitor, very large proportion of it
was caused by the sterling qualities
which have characterized his public
career. The upyarying success of that
career. due to fidelity, high purpose
and earneStneSS. was an example to
the young men around him and sub
ject of admiration to their elders and
professors. The occasion was one, !
also. calculated to inspire the most
breast. Fair Harvard, young
and vigorous, ardent and ambitious,
after two hundred and fifty years of
life, was in her gayest and brightest
mood. Around her gathered her chill
dren, among them men of worldwide
fame, all filled with the same affec-
tiOnate feeling for their alma Mater.
10 her were offered the noblest tributes
that American lips could utter in Mr..
Lowelrs grand Grafton and DIR.
Holmes impressive poem Most in
structiye to the young graduates were
MIR. Cleveland's well considered words
ON the duties of American citizenship.
After all it comes to this. the people of the

surely than every other citizen who loves his
country must assume ii part OF the responci-
D!lity OF demonstrating to the world the sue
cess OF popular government. No man can
hide his talent in a napkin and escape the !

BISCUIT FOR DOGS.
Origin and Development of II Peculiar Lon
don Business Enterprise.

Origin and Development of IL Peculiar Lon
don Business Enterprise.
Twenty years ago the business of
making dog biscuit was represented by
small shop in Holborn, nearly oppo-
site Chancery lane, and a weekly sale
of a couple of tons Now there is n
vast factory near London bridge and
another III New York, between which
is daily output and sale of from thirty
to forty tons. This dog food is made
of wheaton flour CHIEFLY that kno~n
as middlings), oatmeal, dates, beet
root and prairie meat. Dates were the
first article of a vegetable or fruity
nature introduced, and have had the
anti-scorbutic effect so desirable in the
feeding of dogs. For many years they
only were employed, and at that time
it was advised that fresh vegetables
should be given twice 4 week, additional
to the biscuits. Searching for some-
thing that would obviate the need for
this addition, it was discovered that
the only vegetable which did not lose
its Distinguishing properties under the
great heat to which the cakes are sub
jected in baking is beet root. and us it
has all the desirable elements, for
some years all the. biscuits sent out
have contained beet root. The last in
gredient is prairie meat, which is not,
as many suppose, tallOw greaves or
butchers refuse. 1t is meat from mid
and South America. From it all fat
has been removed, but the most valua-
bic GriStle and bones remain to be
ground up, and is not only of the high
est quality from feeding point of view
but perfectly sweet and good. Anal
ysis has shown that it is much more
nutritious than the beef usually sold in
our butchers shops. for it contains only
five per cent. of naturalization Ne10s.
