Poor men who are fathers think they
cannot afford to spare their girls a
monthly stipend. Yet somehow or
other those children are clothed, shod
and educated. Clothes, shoes and
books cost money. Why not estimate
what they do cost and allow the child
the experience of buying these needful
things herself. II she is convinced that
this is all she will receive and she must
make it cover all expenses there will be

Our news columns are again bullying this
week with the good news Of prominent ac-
cessions to the Grand New Party. There
has never been time since The Voice first
began to peep that these announcements
nor when the character of those accessions
was so high as now. One of the most sig
nificant signs is the large number of letters
coming to us from old-party men in the
Southern States-ex-D Democrats. ex-Repub-
licans. ex -Confederates-who are leaving
their old parties with words of honest in
dignation and sorrow, and declaring their
fealty to the young party so rapidly and
gloriously rising to throttle the deepest,
widest, and most imminent peril of our Re-
public. The party is young, but it is q ma
tional party in the best sense; It is driving
it never has to stop to find it's latitude and
longitude when advocating its claims.-The

The outrages perpetrated upon Queen
Natalie, Of Servia, secures her the
sympathy of Europe. Subjected for
years to the indignity and cruel treat
ment of royal lothario, insulted by the
presence of his mistresses at court, sub
jected to all sorts of cunning schemes
set on foot to induce her to make some
misstep, she is at last forced to leave
Belgrade and take refuge on German
soil. In her absence the religious au-
thorities connive with the King to Sc
cure him divorce in an alleged illegal
manner. Even on German soil and
ostensibly living under Russian protec-
ton, she is not spared from persecution.
The King demands of the Prusslan
Government that it shall send the
Prince back to Belgrade. The brave
woman refused to give him up and
armed her attendants to resist any at
tempt to abduct her son. Thereupon
the German Government orders her to
leave the country, and meanwhile Ger
man police invade her apartments in
the night, seize the boy, and carry him
off. Her appeal to Russia for protection
seems to have met with no response.
Alone, helpless, and unprotected, the
poor woman is deprived of her last
solace and no one seems chivalrous
enough to espouse her cause as against
the worthless and despicsble libertine,
her husband. Evidently female royalty
has it's disadvantages. Had such a
series of outrages been inflicted upon a
woman in private life, the whole public
would have risen in her defense and
their author would have been hooted
out Of the community. Being Queen
she must suffer the last indignity lest
manly interference involve the relations
of interested Powers.

Corn and Cob NIaal.

In his experiments in feeding cattle at
the Kansas College Farm Professor Shell
ton says: "a considerable general ex-
perience in the use of corn and cob meal
as feed for herd of sixty odd head of neat
cattle has greatly strengthened not only the
writer, but those having the practical man.
agement of the herd, in the conviction OF
the superior value of corn and cob meal
The corn and cob meal was. apparently at
least, better digested than was clear corn
alone when used; it was eaten certainly
with as great relish the cattle were of
their feed less often; while cases OF
diarrhea caused by overfeeding-all too
common when cornmeal was used-were
practically unknown when the grain feed
was the ground ear corn"
a Brooklyn horse-car company feeding
over LOCO horses gives its methods, which
1t claims to be the best in long expe-
rience with feeding horses: "The regular
meals Of the horses consist of corn and
oats-in winter one part of the oats to
four OF corn, and in summer equal parts OF
each The feed is bought in the grain
and ground on the premises. The average
| consumption by each animal is fifteen
pounds of meal and nine pounds of hay a
day"
The hay is prepared in a cutting box
and mixed with the meal, which is moist
ened SO as to stick to the hay, and thus fed
together. With such feeding the company
reports that it has not had case of collie
among its l, 400 horses in a year or more,
and that they thrive and otherwise do bet,
ter on this ration than upon any other it
has tried. The danger Of feeding horses
meal alone is well-known to experienced
feeders. Thus fed it cakes in plastic
mass in the stomach, and frequently causes
collie But wet a little and mixed with
cut hay, the mass, when masticated, is
spongy in the stomach and admits the
gastric juices through it, and thus it is
well digested.
