The National tribune., 1888-12-27


One Of our most prominent Senators proved
himself quite wag on a recent occasion.
Among his acguaintances was a young man
belonging to a fine family, but alas! like many
other OF shoots of greatness, possessing no
other claim to distinction, because he thought
that all-sulicient, without any exertion on his
part more than that required to keen IN an
immaculate wardrobe befitting his station. He
was hopeless dude.
Calling on the Senator one day and finding
him absent, he turned down a corner of his
visiting card and took his departure. Meeting
the Senator soon after, he said:
"Senatah ] had the pleasure of calling on
you the other day when you were out. Aw!
quite awkward, you know"
" Yes" replied the Senator; l had the pleas
ure Of receiving your card after you had gone.
But what did you mean by turning down a
corner Of it," he continued, not as well up in
society ethics as craftsmanship.
law! Senatah you are ve'way amusing,
don't you know. Why, that meant Senatah,
that did you the honah of calling on you in
person, Seuatah."
In due time the Senator returned the call,
taking good care to time his visit so that the
young gentleman was out also; and he left a
card, Oh a corner Of which was written the let
tiers IS. B. II"
THIS new wrinkle in society puzzled the
dude very much, and he was exceedingly NOR
titled 70 Ind that after deVoting his whole life
to the requirement CT such knowledge, there
was after ALL one thing he had not learned.
So he made it convenient to meet the Senator
az date as early as possible, when he said,
really exhibiting considerable interest for once
in his life:

A Word for Fathers and Mot hers.

IAN the world loves a lover says
Emerson in one of those profound OBJ
servations which have no special mean
ing, and are profound in this that they
are unintelligible. An elopement is an
attractive event, and hundreds and
thousands of our young people are told
of it every week in the "pure and harm
less" love stories of the sensation week.
lies. Recently we have had two in
Washington, which the correspondents
have written up fully One Of the young
clipping parties has returned to her par-
ents and wants the marriage annuled -
She has probably discovered how little
time it takes for the parson to perform
the ceremony and how much time after
ward she has to consider it, This is not
new discovery.
In these elopement cases there is

They are apt to know all about young

mans chances for marrying go in our
curious, unsympathctic civilization
And when girls parents veto her young
affections the chances are ninety in

We are, therefore, in clopement cases,
with the fathers and mothers. Young
love is beautiful, but sometimes foolish.
And no love is improved by folly. A
true, sincere, manly lover will avoid
folly for the sake Of the woman he loves,
and VIC can think Of no greater folly

Profits Of the Farm.

Whether farmers get their rightful
share Of the farm profits depends not
only upon their ability to work and
plan, but also upon their ability to mar
ket what they have to sell, as we'll as
upon the carefulness of the farmers wife
also For instance. the farmer may be
very careful about feeding his cows,
keeping them clean, etc.. but unless tSnii
housewife supplements his close aitenS
ton with the same care of the milk,
cream and dairy utensils his extra work
amounts to but little. We have now in
our minds eye farmer who receives
five cents above fhe market price for his
butter, from the fact that his city Gus
toners found that the quality was the
same throughout the year, and as good
as any to bc found in market. Now this
extra five cents is all profit, and he is
entitled to it. Nor is that all the profit,
for when once customer is obtained it
is usually for whole season. and a
market thus opened for other produce.
In this way much time is saved in mar
keting, and middlemen entirely dis
pensed with 1t brings him in the cash
and thus enables him to buy where he
can get the most for his money, which
is another profit he reaps. IL is always
best for farmer to establish reputa-
ton for selling good article. in order
to get his full profit of anything he has
to sell. Another thing, farmer, in
order to make ready sale of any kind of
produce direct to the customer, should
establish reputation for honest dealing,
i G., never representing an article to be
little better than it really is, for con-
fidence lost is never regained.

The Potato Scab.

The potato scab subject, says II. A.
Veich in the american Cultirator, is
worthy the closest investigation of all
interested in agricultural matters. That
it is caused by insects think, will be
no difficult matter to prove. The potato
rot attacks the woody 6bres of the starch
cells, leaving the farina almost un-
changed. 10 the scab, however. it is
just the reverse, the starch and SAP being
consumed, leaving the shrivcled and dry
cells behind to form the scab
Again. remedy that is elfectual in
preventing the rot is powerlcss against
the scab. once planted nine short
rows of potatoes, applying the following
washes to the sets before planting: A
weak solution of blue vitriol, known as
snlphate of copper; solution of green
vitrfol, sulphate of iron; solution Of
corrosive sublimate. one ounce to gall
Ion of water strong suds of rosin soap;
boiling water and beef brine. The rosin
soap proved to be very good, as also the
boiling water.
The potato scab was known long pre-
viously to the rot, and strange as it may
appear, is considered recommendation
in Ireland us indicating more farina-
ceous tuber A scab appears ut first on
the potato as little black spot which
spreads, but disappears during the sub
sequent growth. A fresh scab often
forms afterwards. and continues to in.
crease from time to time, when other
scabs appear. Seen under the micro
scope, a scab shows the starch cells with
their farns aud the little insects feeding
upon it. Tho top Of a potato turns in
the ground during growth like the bean
vine, though much slower in operation.

How Daniel Boone Died.

An old copy Of the Paris Citizen con.
tains the following account Of Daniel
Boone's death ''As be lived SO he
died, with his gun in his hand We
arc informed by gentleman direct from
Boone's settlement on the Missouri, that
early last month Col. Boone rode to a
deer lick, seated himself within blind

That while sitting thus concealed, with
his trusty rifle in his hand, pointed to-
ward the lick, the muzzle rested on n
log, his face to the breach Of his gun,
bis rife cooked, his finger on the trigger,
one eye shut, the other looking along
the barrel through the sights In this
position without struggle or motion, and,
of course, without pain, he breathed out
his last so gently that when he was
found next day By his friends, although
stiff and cold, he looked as if alive, with
his gun 10 his hand, just in the act Of
firing 1t is not altogether certain that

Brittle HO0fa.

Horses are frequently troubled with
brittle hoofs, caused by deficiency Of
water in the bone. This is caused in
various ways-fever in the feet. or the
common founder, inflammation Of the
interior foot, exposure to fermenting
manure or filthy stables, by which the
horn is saturated with moisture contain
ing ammonia, leaving the foot covered
with mud or even continued hot or dry
weather or an unhealthy condition Of the
system will produce this trouble in the
feet. The horn becomes dry and granu-
lated, and separates very easily, crum-
bling or splintering away until there is
scarcely crust enough left to fasten
shoe upon. The remedy is, Of course,
to remove the cause and restore the mois-
turo. Frequent washing Of the feet with
cold water, with attention TO the health,
and to give the horse clean bedding and
an earth floor to stand upon, or else
deep bed of sawdust, will prevent it or
cure it in many cases. Glycerine and
water in equal parts are an excellent
dressing for the hoofs. An occasional
soft feed, as bran washed with little
linsced, is also useful, because it keeps
the horse in good health and cool. Tar
is sometimes used as hoof dressing
with advantage, but it needs caution in
its application.
