Women will Travel.
From the Detroit Free Press.


''Has it ever occurred to your"
asked a travelling man of reporter
for the Free Press, at the Michigan
Central Passenger station yesterday,
"that the amount of women who travel
outnumber the men in about the pro-
portion OF four to two?"
"Never thought of it."
"Well, that's fact. You will find
it SO all over the United States. I
never sit down in a waiting room or a
passenger station that don't count
the inmates. Comes just as natural
as life-a habit that Ihavegotten in to
In this room, now, ladies outnumber
the men five to two, as yon will find
by counting them. 1t varies greatly,
OF course, but any one who has watch
ed the thing as long as l have, will
say that my genera! average is cor
rect"
"When Twas in Europe" continued
the travelling man, "a great many
people spoke to me about the penchant
OF the American people to travel. l
tell you that the women are respon-
sible for our reputation in this regard.
They will travel about the country
and stand more fatigue than the men,
and find enjoyment in it"

Care OF the Finger Nails.

From the Cleveland PlMndealer.
In order to have pretty-looking
hand the finger nails must be kept in
good shape. They should never be
cut too short, as this deforms the fin
ger ends and renders them stubby.
They should always project trife
beyond the extremity of the finger,
and be paired only to slight curve,
without encroaching too much on the
angles. To preserve the half moon,
or lunula, which borders the lower
part OF the nail. and is thought great
beauty, the skin must be kept from
encroaching upon it, by pushing it
back every morning with a bluntivory
instrument. By this means the an
noying hang-nail will be prevented al
so. Filing orscraping the nails is very
injurious, as it tends to thicken their
substance. The nail.brush should
alone be used for cleaning and polish
ing the nails.

How to Keep Stock in Condition.
rom the American Agriculturist.

From the American Agriculturist.
Young animals at this season are
very susceptible to cold and damp
ness. and any check through failure
to supply q sutiiciency OF food at regu-
lar period, or exposure to wet and
cold, may produce injurious results.
Young colts at this season should be
allowed to remain with their dams
as long as they will suckle, as but little
work is required OF breeding mares
during the winter, and ifthe mares
give large quantities of milk the colts
will grow rapidly. Where the young
stock is dependent upon the dams
the food must be OF O kind that pro-
duces milk rich in all the elements
necessary for structural growth.
Ground oats twice q day, with a plen-
tiful supply of hay, will afford an
abundant amount of nourishment in
the shape OF milk, and on cold days
an allowance of corn meal may be
given with advantage.
Young calves are often deprived of
the milk that naturally should go to
them, owing to its value for market,
substitutes being given them the skim
milk usually allowed. Unless judg-
ment is exercised in feeding the calves
scours will result, from the effects OF
which the calves do not recover until
they have been seriously injured in
growth. Young pigs that have been
suddenly weaned, and especially if
taken from the sows too soon, are often
"stunted" in such mannera as to debar
them from becoming large, heavy hogs
at any time. 1t is important to be
careful in winter, for the reason that
when the young stock is weakened
through mistakes in feeding the cold
weather often comes npoE them at a
time when they are physically unable
to endure it.
1t is best not to wean the young
stock too soon, but, if it becomes nee
essary to do SO, the feeding should be
done often, and, il possible, the food
should be warm. The younger an
animal the more rapid its growth and
the more frequent It's times of feeding
hence, when they are allowed only
three meals 8 day, the same as the
adults, they do not thrive as they dc
when fed oftener and in smaller guam
titles. Dieting the animalsis necessary
in winter, in order to avoid costive
ness OF the bowels, rs we'll as indiges
ton, and therefore the adults and
| young stock should receive succulent
food, such as ensilaae or roots, but II

Water Regularly.
American Rural Home.

american hural nome.
Regularity in all departments con-
nected with the care and management
OF poultry is absolutely necessary to
insure success when other things are
favorable, and inno one thing is it more
true than in watering regularly. While
most of our poultry, whether thor
oughbred and reared in small focks
with extra care, or whether they be
the large and well-mixed focks to be
found on the places OF our thrifty and
well-to-do farmers, are generously sup
piled with food, scarcely any atten-
tion is paid to supplying them with
pure fresh water daily, in winter
as well as summer. All live stock
requires water each day, and it is not
only cruel, but it is Improbable to de-
prive them OF it. Many a farmers
flock has to wait during the winterfor
the rains and SHOWS to get a drink,
while other hocks resort to the pools
OF manure water in and around the
barnyard, because their owners are
too careless and Indifferent as to their
actual wants and necessities. Ii con-
fined during the warm weather, by all
means do not neglect them in this re-
spect, for nothing can be more cruel.
Ii a breeder only makes it part OF the
regular routine OF management, this
watering the fowls each day, it will be
found a very light task indeed, while
the fowls will thank you in many ways
for your attention. We beg OF those
poultry breeders who are remiss in re-
gard to this matter. to act on our ad-
vice and water regularly daily.

Regulating the Cellar.
American Agriculturist.

American Agricultural.
A great mistake is sometimes made
in ventilating cellars and milk-houses.
The object OF ventilation is to keep
the cellars cool and dry, but this OBJ
ject often fails OF being accomplished by
common mistake, and instead the
cellar is made both warm and damp.
A cool place should never be ventilat-
ed, unless the air admitted is cooler
than the air within, or is at least as
cool as that or a very little warmer.
The warmer the air the more moisture
it holds in suspension. Necessarily,
the cooler the air the more this moist
ure is condensed and precipitated.
When a cool cellar is aired on a warm
day, the entering air being in motion
appears covl; but as it fills the cellar
the cooler air with which it becomes
mixed chills it, the moisture is con-
densed, and dew is deposited on the
cold walls, and may often he seen run.
ming down them in streams. Then
the cellar is damp, and soon be.

The Cincinnati law covering primaries
requires that the regular republican and
democratic judges apd clerks Of election
shall serve at the primaries Of their re-
spective parties, and offenders are liable
to punishment for frauds or offences the
same as In regular election. This law
is regular bone breaker for the bum
mers; oompels man to confine his ac-
ton to his own legitimate precinct and
insures the convention fair representa-
ton from the primaries. The honest
voter feeling himself protected and as
sured Of the right to make himself heard,
will be induced to attend the primaries
and so rescue the convention from the
hummer element In politics.

SOME sgitators want New York di-
vided in order to give that state the
benefit Of a double portion Of senatorial
representation in the United States
house oflords. Should that movement
ever be severely attempted look out for
breakers. New England, smaller in
area than Texas, has already twelve
United States senators to the two allot-
ted the Lone Star state, and any attempt
at dividing New York would raise a
howl among the empire states Of the
great west that would lift congress out
OF its seat.

SAN ANTONIO stands sure to win the
state prize In the Galveston drill, but
whether the Belknaps or the San AntO-
MO Rifles will lead, is as yet an unde-
clded point. One OF these companies
takes first prize; the other VIII take
second. Judging from the points scored,
rs gwen in the Galveston News Of Sun
day morning, it now looks as though the
Belknaps had little the best OF the
situation. Considering the circumstan-
ces under which they have entered, and
that their commander did not return
from his nine months absence in Wash
ington until two days before the COM
pany left for Galveston, the drill that
they have put up reflects great credit
upon the men and the nerve Of their cap
tain. San Antonio has just reason to be
proud of the record her companies have
made on the drill ground, and when
they return such an ovation will be &C
corded them as the city has not wit
messed these many years.

The Catholic church do not take kind
ly to the crematory style Of disposing
of the dead. The Catholics are not
alone in this matter, all the ecclesia
who believe in the resurrection Of the
body will naturally side with them.
Cremation can only gain ground among
those who do not accept the literalness
of the resurrection figures and state
ments. 1t may lie put down as a settled
thing that no one who believes in Ca
briel and his horn, as literal fact, will
ever be cremated Of his own free will
and accord.

only chance of escaping the fevers that

enervating to strength, and favorable to

WHEN THE democratic clans were
mastering one year ago, Hendricks,
Hancock, Seymour, Mcclellan, Kelly
and Tilden we're all in the land of the
living. In one short twelve-mOnth they
have crossed the border land and entered
the unknown beyond, where it is safe to
say no wave Of democratic trouble rolls
across their peaceful breast. These men
were the purest specimens Of their po-
litical kind, the most loyal to the nation,
the broadcast in their aims, and the most
national in their character OF any OF
their contemporaries. They were not
sectional as are the men whom they
have left behind. They were broad
enough in their craftsmanship to over
look state boundaries and grasp the idea
of national existence that dominated
all pessimistic views Of states rights as
abrogating national powers. These
men are gone. Their influence in the
national life, the national politics, and
particularly In the democratic party can
scarcely be computed. The party sur
wives, but 1t survives leaderless. The
mantle dropped by these men finds no
fitting shoulder upon which to rest.
Thurman is the only really great demo
crat that is left, and for him the demo-
cratic party appear to have little use.
Ben Butler is PROFESSIONALLY one of the
ablest men in this nation, but for him
the democracy of the south have no man
ner OF use. Randall and Carlisle are
only sectional leaders, neither Of them
are big enough to fill the eye of the ma
ton. The democracy are like the Phil
istines when Goliah of Gath was slain.
They nave no leader.

The Texas officers who surrendered
Rasures have placed themselves in a
mighty unpleasant predicament. They
are held to answer the charge Of con-
spiracy to murder, as accessories before
the fact, and the evidence against them
is too conclusive to be set aside lightly.
There is scarcely a doubt that many of
the border troubles arise from too great
laxity Of the officials entrusted with the
maintenance Of order in strict accord
ance with the laws. There appears to
have been general letting down Of the
bars Of legal requirement by officers on
both sides Of the Rio Grande, and pris-
oners have been surrendered as an &C
commodation to the officer from ''the
other side," regardless Of the legal pro-
visions made for an inquest into the
rights Of the case. This murder Of Ra-
sures has called public attention, and
the attention Of the government as well,
to the existing condition of things. The
penalties will fall in this instance, no
doubt, upon officers no more guilty Of
misusing their powers than scores Of
others have been before them; but 1t is
their fault as well as their misfortune
that the lightning strikes them and not
others. A few years by these men at
hard labor will have the effect of open
ing the eyes OF judges and sheriffs along
the border, and teaching them that the
rights Of American citizens are to be
considered before the personal claims Of
friendly officials over on the other side.
