Victims of Nerves.

NERVOUS" people, experience shows
us, are, as a rule, extremely selfish,
says the Boston Herald. La Emme
nerveuse is the most inconsiderate
specimen of her sex. Her nerves have
become a species of fetish which must
be propit;ated by the sacrifice OF every
body's comfort except her own. She
considers every action, both of herself
and the world at large, primarily from
the point OF view of the effect which it
will have on her nerves. If she hap
pened to be omnipotent, she would, no
doubt, at once stop the movement OF
the earth, for fear of its giving her a
.turn." Her sentiment of pity for the
misfortunes OF others is entirely blunted
by her horror of the sight of pain and
the sound of woe.
She exacts the utmost forbearance
and sacrifice from others--not for her.

herself from gratitude on the same
grounds. She tends, intact. to

cepting all devotion as her due, bitter

claims, and substituting for all higher

A Baseless Charge.

A London journal asks lift was Gov.
Hills appreciation of the value OF
the Irish vote" which influenced his
decision" in his refusal to surrender
Moroney and Mcdonald, the alleged
suspects In the Cronin case, to the
Chicago officers. A New York news
paper eriticises the Governors refusal
6r the ground that the United States
Constitution only contemplates
charge" of crime as the basis OF in
terstate surrender. and argues that In
such a case there is mo question OF
asylum, as in the case OF a citizen of
foreign country, but only the question
of enabling a state to enforce its GRIM
inal laws, by reaching beyond its own
borders to arrest fugitive from JUS
tice."
The men sent from Chicago failed to
identify Moroney and Mcdonald as the
persons who rented and furnished the
Carlson cottage where DIR. Cronin was
assassinated. This proves the trump
cry character of the charge made
against these men and fully vindi-
Gates the Governors action.
But the London writer forgets that
the Irish in America are divided on
the questions supposed to be involved
in the Cronin crime, and that every
reputable Irishman here desires the
punishment of every man implicated
in that crime. The New York writer
overlooks the fact that the constitu-
tional provision relates to fugitives
from justice escaping from their own
state into another state. There was a
question of '.asylum" in the case Of
Moroney and Mcdonald, who are citi-
zens of New York, not of Illinois, and
entitled to the protection of the gov
ernor OF their state. They would have
been denied their rights under the
constitution of their own state If the Y

and surrendered without "due process
of law"

How They Make Thimbles.

The way thimbles are made in Eng
land and in this country is simple
enough. Dies of the different sizes are
used, into which the metal, whether
gold, silver, or steel, is pressed. The
hole punching, finishing, polishing and
tempering are done afterward. Celiu-
loid and rubber are nodded. The best
thimbles are made in France. where
the process is more thorough. Strange
as it may seem, the French consider
durability in their gold thimbles rs the
first requisite. The first step in the
making of Paris gold thimble is the
cutting into disk OF the desired size
thin piece of sheet iron. This is
brought to O. red heat, placed over q
graduated hole in an iron bench and
hammered down into it with punch.
This hole is the form of the thimble.
The iron takes its shape and is remov-
ed from the hole. The little indenta-
lions to keep the needle from slipping
are made in it and all other finishing
strokes of the perfect thimble put on
it. The iron is then made into steel by
process peculiar to the French thin
BILE maker, and is tempered, polished
and brought to deep blue color. A
thin sheet of gold is then pressed into
the interior of the thimble and fastened
there by mandril. Gold leaf is at
tached to the outside by great pressure,
the edges of the leaf being flied in and
held by small grooves at the base OF
the thiwble. The article is then ready
for use. The gold will last for years.
The steel never weares out and the
gold can be readily replaced at any
time. Nowhere else in the world are
gold thimbles made in that way

Sometimes, however, a success is won
in not telling a story when it is ex-

people suppose that one is coming. A

Length of Days.

A writer in the Popular Science
Monthly states tina, some time ago he
sent out 5000 circulars to men and
women over eighty years of age, ask
ing for information concerning their
habits. He received more than $500
replies, and some OF the facts thus OBJ
tanned are OF considerable interest. /,
Five out of every six OF the persons
heard from have light complexion.
with blue or gray eyes. The men are
honey and muscular, while the women
are the opposite. All state they re-
tire aud rise early, and cat three
meals day.
A few other points are worthy of no.
tice. A large majority report that
they habitually eat meat; thirds
use tea aud coffee; some of the men
use intoxicants, but not to excess, and
the majority of the men uso tobacco.
More than half OF these old people are
farmers, or the wives of farmers.
Now, what are we to infer from
these interesting but not entirely salts
factory statistics9 The returns appear
to show that bony, muscular man,
with light complexion, and blue or
gray eyes, with regular habits. stands
a good chance of passing the age OF
eighty. The moderate use of tea, COZ
fee, tobacco and intoxicants, will not
stand in his way, but no rule OF con-
duct can be laid down in regard to
food and drink. Some of the old peo-
pie whose cases are reported, lived to
a great old age without eating meat,
or using tobacco or liquors.
If the reports prove anything 1t is
that long life depends on the tempera-
ment and constitution of person.
Some habits are safe in the case OF one
person and yet are certain death to his
neighbor. A man must find out the
conditions which agree with him and
be governed by them.
But it should not be forgotten that
the very course adopted to prolong
life may sometimes destroy it. There
are chances and probabilities and
sometimes most astounding exceptions

himself may lose his grip on life when
he is apparently at his best. -Atlanta

The Points of a Good Butter Cow.

The Points of n Good Butter Cow.
A good butter COW should have
long face, wide between the eyes, the
eye alert and expressive. and placed d
long way below the horns. A COW with
eyes near the top of the head does
not know any more than a man with
eyes so placed. She should have a
large muzzle, slim neck and a yell
low skin, especially inside the ears,
the breathing should be regular, the
back and abdomen strong, the udder
wide where it connects with the body,
the teats squarely placed and the tail
slim. Over and above ali these points
she must have the TRY form. The
points at best are only indications. The
dairy form is inseparably connected
with a good butter cow. The desira-
BILE dairy form is always seen in the
best types OF Jerseys, Guernseys,
Ayreshires and Holsteins. The best
beef form is presented in Shorthorns,
Herefords and most of the polled
breeds. The intelligent dairyman.
with a knowledge born of experience,
desire AID capacity for the business,
never makes the mistake of choosing
his cow with beef form.
While it is not difficult for Dairy
man with a knowledge Of his business
to select COW that will make ten
pounds of butter a week, provided al
ways such COW is within the drove or
herd he is inspecting, cows that will
make fourteen pounds of butter week
are not to be found in the droves that
are driven about for sale. Such COWS
are seldom for sale except at breeders
prices. A novice might by chance ST.
lect cow that was making ten pounds
of butter week under the right treat
ment,yet if he kept her in cold stable
and gave her ice-water to drink and
fed her on timothy hay and ground
barley and corn-meal, all OF which are
lacking in protein, the cow would soon
run down to three and one-half pounds
a week and stay there, or make less.
Another man who knew his business
might have selected the same cow and
kept her in warm stable, given water,
warm ensilage made from sweet corn
we'll matured, two or three pounds OF
clover hay and a plentiful supply OF
wheat bran or middlings, ground oats
and peas, or little oil meal or any
other food obtaining protein in liberal
proportion, and the cow would probab-
ly have increased to twelve pounds a
week if her limit permitted. American

get better COW in her place.
The Shorthorn cattle originated in
Durham, England, and it is even yet
common in some old-fashioned sections
to speak of them as the Durham breed.
OF course the original Durhams were
not bred up to present standards for
beef making, but the characteristic
tendencies OF good beef breed were
not in the original stock. Good feed
ing and careful selection of breeding
stock has done the rest.
In very small localities farmers have
been discussing how bcJt to remedy
the damage by frost. Some crops, as
beans, tomatoes and molons, or cl-
cumbers, are utterly ruined If touched
by light frost and must be replautsd.
Others like corn if not more than three
or four inches high. and potatoes at
almost any size will grow UP again If
left alone. The root is there and UNI
injured. The new buds that will put
forth will grow rapidly under its slim
illus.
Blue grass will bear pasturing
lightly earlier than almost any other
grass. Its roots lie near the surface,
and are quickly startled into growth
in the spring if the land is rich enough.
For this season too they are more
easily reached by light showers.
Later in the season it may suffer from
drought, but hardly more so than
other grasses and clovers that strike
into the subsoil and thoroughly ex-
haust its moisture long before the
summer drought has come.
The millet crop should not be sown
until hot weather, but it is we'll to have
it in the ground as early as the latter
is we'll warmed. The earlier it ripens
the better weather it is likely to be for
cutting it. In September the days
shorten rapidly, and it is this which
makes the curing of both millet and
fodder corn so difficult. Millet is ex-
ceilent hay for horses, and none the
worse if it is cut when the seed is in
the milk, so that it will ripen from the
stalk. Millet seed gives horses a fine
coat, as it is very fattening.
White oats are popular in this coun-
try, and bring two to four cents bush
ell more than the black. In Europe the
black are preferred. There is great
difference in feeding value of oats, not
dependent entirely on weight, nor yet
on color, but on the character of the
hull. Some of the heaviest white oats
which bring high prices have harsh,
indisestible hull, which makes them as
unfit as barley for feeding whole. The
black oats may have more bulk or hull
but it is not so harsh. Any way. we
have little faith in whole cate as food
| for work horses. There is too much
waste about them. Grind the oats,
and then those that weigh heaviest
will be the most valuable for feeding.

the marsn.s OF Europe cut far great
er figure than do our horned brutes.
Some of our English contemporaries
express establishment that the various
products of swine should be considered
of sufficient import nee on this side of
The Atlantic to have current prices
tabled daily all over Europe, while beef
and mutton are hardly mentioned id
the same reports:
We will explain the reason for this.
1t is because we export FIVE, il not ten
times the value in pork and lard that
we do in beef. We of the United
States, and particularly of the West
elm states OF the union, are the only
people on the earth who have any
considerable hog meat and lard to ex-
port. This is made possible by our
great corn product, that is entirely,
American and is scarcely known in
Europe.
Then, again, pork is more easily
and more generally stored and held
than is beef. Beef, even to be used
in the armies and navies Of the world,
must be cooked and packed id cans.
while pork is carried and stored like
cordwood, aud oftim,5 ate RAYS by
the soldier when on forced marches.
The wealthy of the earth, too, eat ham
and bacon constantly, while not one
in million ever tastes of picked
beef. In conclusion, we will say that

United States In 1888 reached the
mammoth sum of 1891, 1907. 1913. Corn
