HoRSLEss Cattle.

The following letter, while written
BY an interested party, nevertheless
states only the facts as TO the benefits
70 be derived from having hornless
cattle. We do not, however, fally
agree with our correspondent as to the
best method of obtaining this result,
unless it can be moderate cost and
with q certainty Of otherwise lettering
the breed. For ourselves, after hay-
ing dehoreed over sixty head and
watched the effect, we can say that de-
horning has no dread, with accompa-
nying sympathy for the suffering ami
NAL as before, for We now know that
suffering and exquisite torture il
not there Is pictured TO our minds.
The great wonder is that this fact had
not long before been discovered, that
the horns could be taken OF with no
injury and but little pain, and no after
suffering. Still there are ma ~ who
would yet shrink from dehorning, and
to such the pollcd cattle would be de-
sirable. The following is the letter re-
ferred to:

bend its purpose and approve il; but
this Is not the only purpose Of drain

Water, Of itself, can do but little harm
20 the soil. Ii may, for the time be-
ing, suspend the function Of the roots
IN collecting plant food from the soil,
but the chief harm Of saturation Is the
exclusion Of the air. II the water be

death from drowning does not follow

"A Hint to Smokers.

1t is remarkable that people smoke so
much tobacco, in it's various forms, that
is impregnated with deadly nicotine, when
by simple method, which would not de-
tract one whit from its good quality, but
would remove all that is Objectionable,
the tobacco could be made free of
this poison. Merely soak the tobacco a
day in shallow trough, and then lay it
in the sun, if feasible; if not, dry by the
most convenient means, and the weed is
robbed of all odoriferous properties and of
nicotine. 1t is then so sweet the fumes
would not offend the most sensitive lady,
because it has no fumes. Besides, the
vessel in which it is burned does not be-
come "strong"-a valuable thing for
man who prefers meerschaum pipe to
cigars.-Sergt. McNamee in Globe-Demo-

DR.. Richard S. Storrs has given a def

comes under this definition. The COM

Noyes. Therefore there is considerable
strength on the Noyes side of the con-

the management of the board, whose

missionary fund to teach their peculiar
views.
Meanwhile there is a confusion Of

Took Her at Her Word.

A queer episode in Connaught life was
the case of the king at the relation Of
Dennis Bodkin versus Patrick French
The plaintiff and defendant were neigh
bors. The latter was of the "ould
shtock, full of airs, and possessed Of an
intolerable temper. He and wife had
conceived a deep dislike for Mr.. Bodkin,
who entertained an equal aversion to the
Trenches. Bodkin had happened to Of
fend the squire and lady. That evening
they entertained large company at din
ner, when Mrs. French launched out in
abuse of her enemy, concluding her wish
that somebody would cut off the fellows
ears, and that might quiet him." The
subject was changed after while, and
all went on well till supper, at which
time, when everybody was happy, the old
butler, one Ned Regan, who, according to
custom, had drunk enough, came in. Joy
was In his eye, and, whispering some
thing to his mistress which she did not
comprehend, he put large snuff box into
her hand.
Fancying it was some whim of her old
servant, she opened the box and shook
out its contents, when 10! pair of
bloody ears dropped out on the table.
The horror Of the company was awakened,
upon which old Ned exclaimed: Sure,
my lady, you wished that Dennis Bod
kin's ears were cut off. so told old Geo.
ghegan, the gamekeeper, and he took a
few handy boys with him, and brought
back his ears, and there they are, and l
hope you are pleased, my lady" The
gamekeeper and the "boys" left the
county. French and his wife were held
in heavy bail at the Galway assizes hrlt
the guests proved no such order was
given, that it was mistake on the part
of the servant. They were acquitted.
The "boys" and their leader never reap
peared in the county until after the death
of Bodkin, who lost his ears many years
before his death.-Argonaut.

Mrs Shaw were married in Elmira, N. Y, in

The Man Who Laughs.

There is one man whose presence in q
theatre during comedy is worth money
20 the management. He is the greatest
Iaugher ever saw. Like all good laugh
ers he is fat, and it fills man with merry
moments to be around when he is laugh
ing. He has hearty rolling laugh that
catches an audience quickly, and soon the
audience and he are engaged in laugh
ing match. When the laughing has been
going on for four or five minutes, and
everybody's sides are sore and all hands
take rest. there is a lull through the
house which is Immediately broken by
low passionate sob and a gently modulated
"O-ahI" from the laugher who is putting
the finishing touches on his cachinatory
effort. Immediately the audience forget
the soreness of their sides and burst into
a roar. Friends of his bring the laugher
to the theatre just to have fun with him.
He comes with different crowd every
time, and his friends get their enjoyment
out of him and not out of the perform
ance. He's the jolliest laugher | ever
heard.-"G NJ" in Globe Democrat.

THE ANDOVER CONTROVERSY,
Brought to the Surface Again by the Case
of Mr.. Noyes.

Brought the Surface again Dy tne SaSe
of Mr.. Noyes.
The case of the Rev. w. Fl. Noyes,
who was to be sent out as a missionary
by the Berkeley Street Congregational
church, of Boston, and who was not ac-
cepted by the presidential committee of
the American Board of Foreign Missions,
has reopened the discussions of year
ago, known as the Andover controversy.
Mr.. Noyes was ordained as a foreign
missionary by an ecclesiastical council
of Congregational churches on the 22d
of October last. The board to whom the
matter of appointment was referred, upon
examination of the statement of the
Christian experience and doctrinal views
of the candidate, found him, according
to their views, untitled for the position.
The trouble is the same as that which
has previously disturbed the board and
in the case of Mr. Noyes the question of
an opportunity for probation after death.
Now it appears that Mr.. Noyes holds that
this hypothesis of probation after death
is sin harmony with Scripture" and "a
necessary corollary to belief in the uni
versatility of the atonement." The pru-
Dental committee of the board state that
inasmuch as the board gave them in
structions in 1886 and reaffirmed them
with emphasis in 1887, when this partic-
ular case was under review, the commit
tee cannot appoint MIR. Noyes so long as
he holds these views, and Mr.. NOyes
affirms that his convictions are stronger
than ever before.
The action of the prudential committee
is sustained by The Independent, The
