A REVIEW of the first half year of
President IIarrison's Administration,
now closed, says the Boston Post, shows
the accomplishment of very little which
appeals TO public interest beyond what
has oeen done in connection with the
Civil Service. In fact. except such oc-
casional attention as the Treasury De-
partment has given the matter of re-
versing accepted rulings in the interest
of higher duties. the work o. the ADJ
ministration has been confined to the
distribution and regulation OF the Fed
eral offices. One or swo assistant secTe-
taries have been worn out In this occu
patton. the President has been forced to
seek repose in the retirement. OF a long
vacation, and the Government is we'll
exhausted by its efforts. AS this Ad-
ministrstion, both by profession and by
pledge, is DEVOTED TO reform, it might
be expected that the result of such
srduous labors would appear in a SUBJ
stsntisl advancement OF the cause dur
ing this period of six months. Unfor-
tunately, Il seems To be generally ac-
cepted that the contrary is the case.

Mr.. PETERS OF Kansas, says the

the third louisiana district during the
canvass preceding the defeat of Minor.

with him at a joint meeting OF the par

this pleasing election may not be con-

1t is not good plan to allow ripened

1t is a good thing to have a garden, pro.

A good plan of managing the turpip

stand. Plough deep and thorough. New,

Mr.. II. II. Brownell of Vinton, Iowa,
read paper at the meeting of the Poland
China Record Company which contained
the folling advice: In preventing diseases
the first point to guard against is an en-
feebled constitution. 1t is well known
that constitutional inirmties are trans
mitted from parent to offspring. No class
of animals exhibit this more forcibly than
swine. This may be traced mainly to two
causes: LIST. Close inbreeding. I'd.
Breeding from immature parents. Of the
two evils we regard the latter as the
greater. Pigs are mated from seven to
ten months old, and this course is pur-
sued from year to year. The results are
manifest. Not only is the constitutional
vitality of the mother unduly taxed by
bearing and sucking her young when
grown, and when she needs to devote all
not more than half grown, and when she
needs to devote all her offspring are lack
ing in constitutional vitality. Mate strong,
healthy, mature animals and if properly
treated you may expect strong, healthy
offspring.

A Fatal Royal Day.

Pail Mall Gazette.
The fact of to-day being Saturday

ness last week. Is Saturday fatal
day in the English royal family? 1t
h rs just been pointed out that Will

Ill died on Saturday, the Goth of

years we find that it was on Satur-
day 10th of March 1861 that the
Duchess of Kent died; that Prince
Albert died on Saturday, 18th of De-
cember, 1873. The most recent case
is that of the Duchess of Cambridge,

could be more enthusiastic or more inter-
ested in his efforts to successfully solve
the problem than Mr.. Philip Walker, who
has had direct charge of the filature

full calculation, he has estimated that
specific duty of 81 per pounc
upon the reeled or so-called raw silk would
render the Keeling profitable in this coun-

mentation here will be just as valuable
abroad unless they are protected by patent

ment.
