Mr. Bergh is slender, of medium
height, and carries himself erect and
with great dignity. His face would COM
mand attention in any assemblage. His
most distinguishing characteristic is his
forehead, which is massive in breadth
and height and protrudes almost to thu
line of his resolute chin. In spite of his
busy years and busy life, his eyes retain
their brightness and his voice its pleasant
and CHEEKY softness. 1t is a voice that is
always under its owners perfect control.
Its tones are the same in their quality
when he addresses a court to secure the
conviction of some ignoble brute who
has raised his hand against his more
noble but less fortunate fellow, as when
he comments upon the play to his COM
panion between the acts at some notable
theatrical first night.-Benjamin North

Among the many burning questions
which vet remain to be settled between
the United States and Great Britain,
none have caused more dissatisfaction in
social circles on the other side of the At
lantic than the lack of reciprocity shown
by us in the matter of club hospitality.
To the English gentleman every club in
New York is open; but the citizen of the
United States, on arrival in London,
finds tn" portals of the leading clubs in
Pail Mall sealed doors. Distinguished
men, it is true, are made honorary men,
bers of the Athenaum; but it is not every
one who can find exuberant joviality
within its walls. Our countrymen who
have resided in America, struck by the
very one sided nature of the club treaty
existing between the two countries, have
recently started fresh addition to the
many London clubs. The American club
aims at affording a meeting place in Lon
don for all men interested in the western
hemisphere. Here members of the Pa
cific club at San Francisco, of the Mani
toba club at Winnipeg, of the Cercle DIES
Etrangers at Rio. the Knickerbocker at
New York and the Turf in Piccadilly
meet on terms Of perfect equality. st.

When the Alpine sun is setting, or,
better still, some time after it has set,
leaving the limbs and shoulders of the
mountains in shadow. while their snowy
crests are bathed by the retreating light,
the snow glows with a beauty and solem-
nifty hardly equaled by any other natural
phenomenon. So, also, when first illum-
ined by the rays of the unrisen sun, the
mountain heads, under favorable atmos-
pheric conditions, shine like rubies. And
all this splendor is evoked by the simple
mechanism of minute particles, them
selves without color, suspended in the
air. Those who referred the extraordi-
nary succession of atmospheric glows,
witnessed some years ago, to vast and
violent discharge of volcanic ashes, were
dealing with "a true cause The fine
floating residue of such ashes would I'M
doubtedly be able to produce the effects
ascrbed to it. Still the mechanism to
produce the morning and evening red,
though of variable efficiency, is always
present in the atmosphere. l have seen
displays, equal in magnifcence to the
finest If those above referred to. when
when there was no special volcanic out
burst to which they could be referred.
1t was the long continued repetition of
the glows which rendered the volcanic
theory highly probable. Professor John
Tyndall in The Forum.

The work of the Bureau of Animal In
dustry, for the suppression Of contagious
diseases among cattle, has met with much
opposition from the people. The bureau
has, perhaps, given employment-nott to say
fat iobs-to some who are more distinguish
| for technical learning than for practical
wisdom, and no doubt mistakes have been
made but as a whole we believe the work
to be meritorious and worth to the country
IA great deal more than il costs
AS - business principle, writes Col. f. d.
Curtis to the Stoclman, Congress should
every year place at the disposal of some
body liberal sum of money to be used to
suppress contagious disease among domestic
animals. Not to do this would be taking
risks we as people cannot afford. In no
other way can there be prompt and efficient
action This point settled, who shall have
charge of this work A set of men un-
tried and unskilled or those best fitted to
deal with the matter Here is another
business principle involved. Why, most
assuredly the persons who know the most
about it and are situated to act at once.
They should act always with judgment,
fairness and integrity. In our opinion the
proper officers to deal with such disease
which affects the interests of interstate
commerce and the general welfare, are the
federal authorities This makes straight
work and saves a world of circumlocution

Poultry Experience.

A successful breeder of fowls declares
that There is no poor breed of fowls when

A neighbor, with four in the family, has
two good cows and 81 laying hens-a cross

We're about $50 and from hens about f66.
A more scientific record was not kept. The
hens are on-sitters, not one having offered
to raise family in two years He feeds a
warm mixture of wheat bran and curnmeal
in the morning, and whole corn and oats at
night; also sour milk bones, and meat
scraps from the kitchen. He considers fiji
teen hens as profitable as good COW.
Farmers generally keep a larger number
of hens than they properly care for. A
smaller number with the same care would
usually afford a greater profit. Yet most
| farmers would find it amply remunerative
to keep and care for larger number than

cream four times week through the sum

winter. The plan Of letting the patrons
draw of their own milk, although con
demned as unpractcable by most other fac
tories, has been adopted here for the past
two seasons and gives good satisfaction
| This gives the farmer his milk when he
wants it TO feed saves him from using as
many cans, and saves n large amount OF
time for the cream gatherer. The honesty
of the patron is shown by occasional tests
of his cream by churning and weighing
separately, and their general honor by the
low average number of spaces required to
make a pound Of butter In considering
our returns we wish it remembered that il
costs u.s. on an average one cent on every
pound to get our butter to the railroad and

Among the good points made by Mr.. Al

state grange in his annual address, was "A
proposition that the grange organize ma

higher price. The average annual product
in this state is now about 1000, 600 pounds,
and it brought last year $iJ0, 600. M.
Messer says the production might easily be
doubled If 50, the increase III quantity
and price would bring the Vermont farm
ers some $500, 600 more than they now get.
We think be is right, From personal
knowledge of the demand in one city, we
feel sure that most purchasers would gladly
pay quarter or a third more for supe-
rior article whose purity would be assured.
And as for increasing the quantity, every
resident of Vermont knows that thousands
of good sap trees are not tapped, while mil
lions more can be grown to point of utility
in the next - years. without in the least
encumbering pasture land or costing half d
dollar each from first to last.-Rutiditd Her.
