A NEGRO named Morton, iron

A NEGRO named Morton, from Arkansas, has recently been ap- pointed to a l,00J clerkship. Hs passed the civil service examlna- ton, and was of good moral char acter and got the place on his merits. A few more such appoint ments will break down the old party color line. and it will never do in future Presidential elections to tell the poor negro that the Democrats will reduce them to slavery again.

What the Hindu Lives On.

Human life is supported in India upon
the barcst minimum of nccessarics: the
village population feed upon tho COM
monest grains. never eating animal food
(Which Is contrary to their rcligion) and
rarely tasting tho finer grains, such rs
wheat and barley. The clothing worn
is OF the scauticst, and I was distressed
to see many OF the people in til, North.
west Provinces shivering and half naked
i'll weather so cold that l WAS glad to
wear two toocoats. The houses arc
built OF clay. and almost destitute of
furniture, and l understand that large
portion of the population only eat one
meal 4 day. OF course. this in Eastern
country does not signify what it does in
Europc-lf,. can be sustained on les
food and less nutritious diet than in
Northern climes; the labor power of the
Hindus is small there is far less taken
out OF the human machine than in our
laborous Western life; it consumes les,
and produces less; besides, the Asiatc
has the power of digestius 4 greater
quantity of food at one meal than is
possible to Europeans; but. when due
allowance is made for this, it is not to
be denied that the poverty of great
part of the people OF Indi, is extreme
and more acute than what We witness in
Europe. 1t may be said with truth of 4
great part of the rural population that
it is never far removed from famine A
scanty harvest any year brings that
calamity within measurable distance;
failure of crops means death to u
large part of the population unless fed

when Sam peremptorily ordered her
out, but she declined to emerge, on the
plea that she was not ready to receive

so sam kicked in the door. There was
a loud scream and a Woman's voice was
heard to say: Don't you dare take me

Extraordinary Medical Skill.

One stormy night, when the roads
were well-nigh impossible, son of
Erin came into "A doctors office and de-
sired the dispenser of physic to go see
a friend who was "jiSt-a-dyin'." He
would not take no for an answer: so,
putting the saddle-bags upo. his horse.
the physician started out upon his
journey. AS soon as he saw the sick
man he knew it was nearly over with
him, and remarked to the courier:
Peter you told the truth; your
friend is just at the point of death"
Cant you do anything for heem 2"
replied Peter.
No. it is too late"

"But. docthor, We have come SO far,
it would be too bad to go back without
doin' anything"
For the peace of Peters mind, the
doctor now took a small quantity of
sugar from phial and placed it upon
the dying mans tongue just as he was
drawing his last breath.
Peter. seeing his friends head drop
back. looked up to the doctor with big
eyes and said. half III whisper, "Oh,

There are fewer cattle in proportion

Very young ducklings are tender at
first, and should neither be allowed to
go into cold water nor be exposed to
chilling winds while they are under
twenty days old. Such exposure cause
cramps. and they often die suddenly
from these results.

The disadvantages of the ordinary
system OF setting milk in shallow pans
for raising cream are that longer
period elapses before the sinking is
completed, too much space is required,
and in summer the whole of the milk is
sour before the cream is raised.
Separated early and raised up by
themselves, pullets are worth at least
quarter more for use than if allowed
to run with lot of cockerels: in the
large, late-maturlng breeds the evil is
less: though even with them the prac-
tice of keeping them separate is most
profitable.
The public would be greatly accommo-

guided thereby. This would save every

tons, and would direct persons to them
who had business TO transact.

spring wheat has declined from 9S1 in
