The Chinese Minister.

A Washington Letter to the Springfield Republican says: The Chinese Minister is man of 60, who was Governor of one of the Provinces in China. After he had made his fortune the Emperor saw that he was getting rich too fast, and, much to his disgust, exiled him here on a salary of $25, 900 year and all expenses paid For the Chinese Government is liberal. If dinner is given at the lega- tion the Government pays for it, and the same if he travels or keeps a carriage, while all the expenses of the legation are defrayed from home. When he came the Minister left his wives at home, but after a while he had sent over from China a little thing, not more than IS years old, and she is the only woman at the lega- tion. She Is kept very secluded, and only allowed to visit the house of MT. Bartlett, formerly correspondent of the Republican and now Secretary to the legation. About once week she is driven over and spends the afternoon with the ladies of his family, but they are not allowed to admit others to see her. Then she trips back to her carriage, If woman on such little feet could be said to trip, and is not seen out again for another week. have known ladies who had an idea of the day she would visit Mrs. Bartlett, to spend the whole after noon in Q neighboring window to get a glimpse of her. When the Chinese want to please people they send them some of the finest tea, which comes direct to them, not in the great boxes which you see, but in small cases holding few pounds. This is the finest tea that ever comes to this country, and those who are lucky enough to receive package prize it very highly. It is little stronger than the tea you buy at the stores, and SO much more fragrant and pleasant to the taste that it hardly seems like the same plant And I doubt very much whether it is,

 Every farmer before killing hogs o, other animals should have them weighed so that 1t may be known how great is tht loss in killing and dressing. In selling by live weight buyers require farmers tt deduct larger percentage for wastag than is generally experienced. In we'll, fattened, compactly built porkers ths waste is often not more than 20 per cent. of the whole, and sometimes even less than this.
 All the parings and fruit wastes from the kitchen should be fed out, if fol nothing else, to destroy the insect life they may contain. Almost any COW will eat five or six quarts of good apples g day, if she can get them, and if store pigs are given one meal day in place ot grain, they will do all the better for the exchange. Fruit is good for human food, and it is equally valuable as food for most domestic animals.
 One reason why hogs are more liable tc disease is because usually no pains arc taken to provide them with plenty o1 clean water. The swill tub with it's dishwater and other slop is no substitute for pure water SO fm as health is concerned. In winter, especially, there is little advantage in giving sloppy food. The hog will thrive better if given his meal only slightly moistened and left to drink what clean water it chooses from another dish.
 The farmers work is necessarily ex- perimental. While some general prin- ciples are always applicable it is impos- sible to provide for details without knowledge of attending circumstances. No positive rules can be made to fit all cases, and therefore each must be decided on its merits as it arises To this re- quires excellent Judgment, and it is not unnatural that an old and successful farmer should regard with some distrust the Knowledge which has been derived only from books.

 There is ono advantage in keeping guinea fowls with other poultry, as their loud noise frightens away hawks and other enemies.

 A farmer recommends from experience diluted carbolic acid as remedy for chicken cholera, for hog cholera, and for pinkeye in horses.

In this small quantity car bolic acid will do no harm, and the rem edy is worth remembering.

To Satisfy Relatives.

The work of drilling hole through the hill directly over where the lost Nanticoke miners are supposed to be is progressing fast. On Saturday night 110 feet of 6-inch pipe had been put down. Then there remained 1855 feet to be drilled. The superintendent thought bottom would be reached in about ten days. When bottom is reached it will be ascertained for the first time whether that portion of the mine Is filled with debris If it is, there will be no other way but to clean out the gangways. Asked if he had any idea of finding any of the twenty-six men alive, the super intendent said: "Oh, no; those men are dead long ago; we only put down this pipe to satisfy the relatives of the poor unfortunates. would be only too glad if the men were alive; but, under the circumstances, the drilling of hole is only useless task"

The Lnte Horntio seymour.

Horatio Seymour was native of New York State, having been born in Pompey, Onondaga county, May 31, 1910. Ills father, Henry & eymour, was one of the leading men of the politics of the State. When Horatio was but years old his parents removed to Utica, where he received 8 common school education. He studied law, and was admitted to the bar in 1882 In 1841 he was elected to the As- sembly as Democrat, and at the end of his term was elected Mayor of Utica. He went to the Assembly again in 1844, and was made sss.ion Si of of 1s45. In 1850 ~ he ran ran for Governor, and after vigorous cam paign was defeated by Washington Hunt, the Wbig candidate, by the scant majority of 262. In 1852, however, he again ran against tine same opponent and Tompkins, the Free Soil candidate and this time he was successful, be- ing elected by plurality of 22, 596.
 He ran for Governor of New York in 1854 and was defeated by Myron H. Clark. In 1862 he was elected Governor, beating James s. Wadsworth.

Drug Clerks.

'I don't hesitate to say drug clerks are the worst paid of any toilers, and I'll tell you how. It takes young man at least three years to learn the business. Then it takes him as long more to get familiar with the details; so that you may say 1t requires five or six years in all. Now, this is so much of the best part of his life thrown away. And for what2 Simply to know how to earn $12 or $14 week. A man can earn more than that driving street car, which requires very little time to learn. The drug business may not be profession, although it is generally so considered, but, at the very least calculn- tion, it comes under the head of skilled labor. The clerks are not paid as skilled laborers, though, not by a good round majority. No one will pretend to deny that drug clerks are intelligent. From my experience with men in general I think they compare favorably with any other class and are far ahead of the aver age. I know comparatively young drug gists who read Latin and Greek with easo and are excellent English scholars. They study botany, geology and comparative anatomy between prescriptions. One thing is certain. A dunce cannot work long in drug store. He will bc found out before he knows it. As a matter of fact, dull or careless young man cannot get a diploma from any of the better-class schools of pharmacy. honestly believe it is harder for druggist to get his de- gree than for a doctor In some respects his duties are more responsible. Many @ time doctors make mistakes which arc corrected at the drug store. "-Ne,o Yorh 2ifn

Feeding Thin Stock.

An excessive amount of grain is the worst treatment of an animal put up to fatten, and particularly if it is thin in flesh. Poorly kept stock have presum- ably weak digestive organs and these must be strengthened by careful exer- else. Givingta little grain at first, and rather less than the animal will eat with good appetite, is the way to begin. The amount may be gradually increased as more flesh isi put on, but care must be taken not to cloy the appetite. Poor sheep re,the most delicate of all feeders, and so few farmers will feed carefully. That old sheep going into winter in thin flesh had generally better be killed at once, to save further expense and trouble-C Cultiuator
