Warm Barns Save Feed.
Ben: PerIey PoOre IN CtIltratOr.

Ben: Pertey POoTe IA Ctthcdt0T.
Warm barns and stables are abso-
lutely necessary, not only Tor the
comfort of the brute creation, but in
an economical point of view, by saw
ing the food consumed by them. The
object of food is threefOld: First, to
supply material for growth and the
reparation of decaying tissues second,
the generation of needed animal heat
and thirdly, the evolvement of force.
Now, different kinds of food sub
serve these individual ends in differ
ent degrees. Thus, flesh, milk and the
grains containing large quantities of
gluten are nutritious; starch, sugar
and oils are heat-prOducing while all,
but especially the stimulating diets,
are productive of animal motive power.
A beneficent Providence, however,
has so arranged it that every variety
of natural food contains in some pro-
portion the elements required for each
of his great ends, so that the reason of
the man aud the instinct of the brute
are never without the requisite mate
rails.
But what relation is there between a
mans coat and his breakfasts A re-
latiOn so striking that Starving with
cold" has grown into n maxim, so close
that the man with thick, warm coat
actually requires less food than he who
shivers in IA thinner dress. Every one
who observes at all has remarked that
in winter we consume more food than
in summer; and science explains it by
showing that a portion of such food is
expended in the generation of the
requisite animal heat, which, of course,
must be greater III amount for winter
than for summer, so that the demand
for food must increase directly as the
demand for that increases.
How simple and necessary the con-
clusiOn, therefore, that by every added
means of protection from cold we cor
respOndingly diminish the necessity
for food and how strangely absurd is
that system of feeding cattle enormous
quantities of grain and fodder, while at
the same time they are exposed to the |
rigorous cold through the cracks of
barns. Why, almost One-half of the |
whole amount is consumed as fuel to
keep them from freezing; whereas, Il !
comfortable shelter with the reduced |
amount of fodder would answer the |
purpose better, and while it saved the |
poor animal from incalculable suffer
ing, would also save the master, for
other uses, large part OF that proven
der which would otherwise be so fool
ishly wasted.
Come, then, good farmers, appro-
pirate ii part of the money which
might be realized from the hay and
grain you have been accustomed to
needlessly consume for your stock to
making your barns and stables COM
Portable; and while you save for your
own OF your neighbours comfort the re-
mainder, have the satisfaction of feel
ing, during the long stormy days and
nights of winter, that for the poor
helpless brute you have robbed the
season of more than half its grimness.

ter of hats, has made countless short-necked millions mourn. Ever since our remote male ancestors went to the playhouse, way back when the nation was young, he was compelled to go out and say "Gadzooks!' and f'Zounds" relieving his feelings by this incendiary language, all because our remote female ancestors were there with the sky scraping poke which was then epidemic. This has continued to rage in the most ma ignant manner ever since. When the poke was crushed it rose again considerably bat tered, but still in the ring It cropped out in dozen different shapes and evaded the provision of the ordinance every time. One of the most trying forms was that of the Gainsborough hat, profanely called "cart wheel,'' which by the way IS rather ibelous on that useful article. The scofing and threats of men made no difference; the Gainsborough hung to life just as though theaters did not exist. Public sentiment was at times violent. For instance at Sliding Dog, M. T., just as the 1eaven of an effete civilization was making itself felt the Gains borough came in. It was at once considered by the vigilance committee. A sub-commit- tee was appointed Ito locate this man Gains borough" as succinctly stated by it's chair man, "and when found to wipe him out" The prominent citizens of Sliding Dog but voiced the sentiments of the nation.
 It was left for the Briton, who is infinitely quicker to resent infringements on private rights than his American brother, to remedy the high-hat evil. The theatrical managers met and decided the altitudinons hat must go. The ladies said it mustn't. The mana gers stood out Then came an acoommoda- ting milliner with compromise in the crush. The cable last week told of lady who appeared at the London Lyceum in a high hat and declined to remove it on re- quest. She was denied admission. When a theatrical treasurer refuses money on any ac- count he must be in very serious frame of mind, and the circumstance but shows how determined the strikers are
 At the present time in London theaters, when the curtain goes up, the feminine part and telescopes her hat with much grace and cheerfulness. It excites no comment or in terest except among visiting Americans un used to the sight. A few have already reached Chicago and more are On their way

termine whether the commonwealth of Mas. sachusetts or this General Lander post is the stronger.
 In play now running in Boston an actor leaps hesdlong from the walls of prison into stage water. The jump is twenty three feet, and he escapes without injury by de- cidedly ingenious contrivance. A canvas cone is fixed under the stage, with its large end even with the stage, which is arranged to represent water. This end is covered with rubber cloth, also pain ted to represent water. The rubEer cloth is cut across in it's center, the cuts reaching half way from the center to the edge. The ring or edge of this circle is hung on thick rubber springs. As the cone narrows to it's apex three other rings are disposed at proper intervals, cov- cred with netting that easily breaks, offer ing only slight resistance. Now, when the headforemost leap is made, the 1eaper GOV CTS the first twenty three feet of clear space unresisted. He then strikes the center of the diaphragm, and the rubber cloth, partially giving way, still offers some resistance, and, clinging around his shoulders, retards his progress without harming him at all. The next, and the next, and still the next, or last, ring in turn offer enough resistance to check the fall until the apex of the cone, by it's narrowing, holds the diver in close em- brace about the shoulders, with his head protruding from the opening. Thus far the diver has not hurt himself

THE CHINESE CLAIM.


 The request of Cheng Tsao Ju, the Chi nese minister, who asks, in the name of the emperor and government of China, that the persons who are guilty of the outrages in Wyoming be brought to punishment, that the Chinese subjects be fully indemnifed for losses and injuries they have sustained by this lawlessness, and that suitable meas ures be adopted to protect the Chinese resi- dents of Wyoming territory and elsewhere in the United States from similar attacks, will not strike any but the rabid haters of the Chinese as very unreasonable, and to many it will seem very reasonable. To be sure, this country is not really bound to pay for these things, but there is justice in the Chinese minister's claim.
 China is heathen country, but Cheng Tsao Ju is able to point to an occasion when this country was treated fairly by China in a matter of the same kind as that now under discussion. He calls attention to the action of the Chinese government in 1858, when the sum of $735, .97 was paid Sin full liquida- ton of all claims of American citizens" for losses occasioned by riots and violence in the Chinese provinces. This sum was received by the United States, disbursed among the claimants so far as practicable, and the bal ance returned to China.
 Cheng Tsao Ju strengthens his claim by setting forth the justice done Spain by this country in 1851, when a riot took place at New Orleans, and another at Key West, and the houses of several Spanish subjects were attacked The Spanish minister at Washing ton promptly made a demand for the pun ishment of the rioters and ''indemnifcation for the damages and injuries inflicted upon Her Catholic Majesty's subjects" Daniel Webster, Secretary of State, made the an swer that Spanish residents were entitled to no more protection than native born citi- zens, but the Queen of Spain was not satis- fled, and her minister at Washing ton was in structed to renew his request for indemnity; and he, referring to the friendly relations ex- pealed to "the equity and wisdom" of Secre- tary Webster to provide generous reme- dy," and also invoked the interposition of the President to secure the indemnifcation desired. Whereupon Congress authorized the payment of large sum out of the treas ury to pay the losses sustained by the Span iards at the hands of lawless mobs.
 The Chinese minister's appeal will proba- to- This country cannot afford to deal un- justly with China because it can without violating any treaty.

CHAS. A. CABRERA, 32 Hawley Street,
 Boston, Mass, writes:
 "One year ago I was apparently so far gone with Consumption that my life seemed only question of days rather than months. With my faith in the ability of physicians to help me all gone, I tried almost every known remedy, with no apparent benefit. Finally as a last resort, I was induced to try Dr. R. c. Flowers Lung Cordial. The very first dose gave me relief, and with the first bottle took new lease of 1ife and can honestly say to-day that one spoonf.d Il of this remedy is worth more to the sufferer from Lung troubles than gallon of any other known remedy. A bottle of it is now one of my choicest possessions, and at the first symptom of a cough or cold I fly to it for the relief it never fails to give"
 DIR. FLOWERS LUNG COR. DIAL is without question the most wonderful Lung remedy ever discovered. It eradicates the germ of CONSUMPTION as no remedy has ever been known to do. It stands without rival for COUGHS, COLDS, BRON- CHITIS, ASTHMA and CON- SUMPTION.

ROMANCE OF A RING.

stables and Courts.
 From the Augusta (Ga.) Chroniclel
 Judge Roney delivered his decision in a case based upon peculiar state of facts and not without romantic interest The names of the parties are not necessary to the recit- al of the case. Suffice it to say that an at tractive young lady of this county was sued in this city by young man, equally well known in this city for the possession of ring. Owing to some imperfection in the service of the notice upon the young lady she paid no attention to it, and made no defence in the justice court. Judgment was therefore en- tered against her, and the justice construing it in the nature of bail trover procedure, q constable was sent to secure the ring The young lady had the ring upon her finger and refused pointedly and positively to surrender it. The constable retired in good order and reported the state of affairs. The plaintiff thereupon took out a possessory warrant to empower the constable to get the ring with or without the defendants consent. At this stage of the case the young lady came for ward by her attorney, W. H. Fleming, and set out that the case was not an action in trover, but assumpsit; further that the ring had been given to her by the brother of the plaintiff who was now dead, as an engage ment ring; that she had been in the peaceful and undisputed possession of the same for four years; that 1t was cherished memento of her dead lover, and she refused to relin- quish it.
 The case came before Judge Roney upon certiorari from the justice court, and after reviewing the foregoing facts, he decided that the ring should remain in the possession of the young lady. The gallant members of the bar who were present heartily concurred in the decision, and some of them said at side bar they would have left the ring in the possession of the young lady even if 8 strain of the statutes had been necessary.

The latest petition for the opening of the museums in New York on Sunday ie a nota- ble one. It has nine thousand signatures, representatives of one hundred and twenty labor Organizations.
 What may perhaps be called a pious boy colt is in progress at Minneapolis, where some preachers have resolved to withhold their patronage" from papers that publish a Sunday edition. This is great world, and this is a great, glorious and free country.
 M. de Lesseps is a confident old man. He declares that in June or July, 1889, he will charter steamer, take his whole family, and, passing through the Panama Canal, re- turn to France by way of Suez. It does not now look as if the declaration would be car ried out.
 A French journal calls attention to the rich oil contained in the grains of the tong yeou, tree which grows in China. This oil is easily extracted by pressure, has a density of 09362, and possesses variety of curious properties. It dries more rapidly than any other known oil, it has also the power of solidifying under the action of light and out of contact with the air.
 After careful study of the subject Pro- lessor P. D.. Penhallow concludes that the formation of the so-called Annual rings" of growth in trees is chiefly determined by whatever operates to produce alternating pe- riods of physiological rest and activity. In cold climates the rings are an approximately correct, but not always certain, index of age. In warm climates, however, the rings are of no value in this respect, as the growth is more likely to mark period of rainfall than the yearly hot period of summer.
 This view of the present condition of agri- culture, taken by the Live Stock Indicator, is not so gloomy as the ordinarily pre- scented, but there is truth in #: When farm CTS complain of low prices for their products their grievances are real only so far as agri- cultural prices are depressed disproportion- ately to others. Prices seem low now, but many kinds of manufactured goods are now so low that bushel of wheat will pay for mora than it did during the war. The farm CT heavily in debt gets less relief, as the oA cept as it is paid off But even he has, or should have, lower rates of interest to pay than formerly.

One of these is managed by and for Grand Army post, an other by the Lasters' union and the third by the Knights of Labor. The General Lander Grand Army post of Lynn has notoriously been engaged in the lottery business for years, and boasts of fund of sixty thousand dollars obtained by these fragrant violations of State laws. It will not cheerfully relin- quish this source of profit, and if the district attorney for that district does his duty there is likely to be an interesting struggle to de-
