Dealing with a Kicking Cow.

Speaking of blows makes ne think
OF those milk-stool blows which fall On
the ribs OF cows If they yield to their
impulse to kick a careless mixer /
have seen gentle cows spoiled by
pounding, but l never saw a kicker
cured by it IL any horned animal
kicks you, try to make it think you like
to be kicked. Kind treatment and the
entire ignoring of a kick from COW
will generally cure. Animals kick be-
cause they are afraid of you. and can't
get out of your way. Convince them
that you won't hurt them under any
circumstances and the cause of the
kicking is removed. For an unsafe or
nervous COW. however. l use rope;
about three-eighths rope is best. Tie
a good snap to one end and string TO
the other, and have it about two and
one-half feet long over all. Pass the
rope around the left hind leg just
above the gambrei joint, give it one
twist between the legs and then snap
the ends together outside of the right
leg. and your COW is harmless The
more she is inclined TO kick the tighter
the rope may be twisted. Now keep
this rope hanging just behind the
kicker and you never need whip her.
use the same rope to break heifers,
and after putting it on a few times
there is no trouble in milking without
it.-Farm, Stock and Home.

Marriage by Surprise.

An extraordinary occurrence has
taken place in one of tho principal
churches of Madrid, in the parish of
Santa C.uz a priest had nearly
finished his mass and was in the act of
pronouncing the sacramcntal words:
lite, missa est, when n young man,
aged twenty-one, and beautiful girl
of twenty suddenly approached the
altar railing with three middle-aged
men, and the young couple cried
aloud: I'VE wish to be husband and
wife Here are our three witnesses" "
Now, it seems that under the canon
ical laws still regulating marriages in
Spain, Roman Catholics can thus
claim to be considered married by
surprise if they arc skillful enough TO
do so just after the priest has uttered
the bcnedictiOn at the close Of mass.
Formerly this stratagem was, as in the
present case, resorted to by young
people whose parents opposed their
union. When this occurred in the
church of Santa Cruz a scene Of con-
fusion ensued. The priest retired 20
the sacristy and sent for the police.
who conducted the offenders and wit
nesses into the presence of the munich
pal Judge He declared the marriage
valid, much to the delight OF the young
couple and to the intense disgust of
the parents of both sides, who had re-
sisted the unIon.-London Times.

The medical profession, as profession,
has distinctive popularity that at
saches to it wherever professional ethics
obtain throughout the universe, and that
is its uncompromising aversion to adver-
Using in any medium of public commu-
nication. For instance, DIR. Mackenzie.
an English physician AMI surgeon, was
the principal attendant on the late En-
peror Frederick, of Germany, during his
last sickness. After the emPeror's death
DIR. Mackenzie and his treatment were
bitterly attacked by pretty much the
whole medical profession of Germany.
To vindicate his professional character,
and partly no doubt because he was mad,
he published book in answer to his as
sailants. Now comes the Royal College
of Surgeons in London, and by vote of
twenty-five to two censures him for hav-
ing published the book. 1t does not say
that he did not tell the truth or that his
book is not well written, but that the
writing and publication of it were I'M
professional. Thus DIR. Mackenzie
seems to have jumped from the frying
pan into the fire.

THE Law DON'T REACH THE RIGHT
PARTIES

To the Editor of the Eagle.
/ notice an editorial comment of yours
on the great damage done to commerce
and the farming interests by the big
confidence men, politely called stock,
grain and future operators? You are on
the right track, and every legislature in
the land ought to stop this damage if
they have to put the operatives in the
penitentiary to man.
Let person in the ordinary walks of
business represent that he wishes to pro-
cure SO much money on SO much grain
or meat which he really does not pos
sess, and so gets the money, he is liable
to imprisonment in any state peniten-
tiary for obtaining money under false
pretenses.
Let man or men get up great spec
ulation IN such produce and pretend they
have large quantities which they not
only have not, but which is not even yet
produced, and obtain millions of dollars
on their false pretenses, and they go free
as air, while their ruined victims often
descend to lower but less dangerous
grade of crimes to recuperate their
losses. In every department of itself
this wholesale crime undermines society
and leads to innumerable evils.
In Texas and some other states the
debts of future gambling and all such
business are treated at law as ordinary
gaming debts, and are not collectable.
But there ought to be severe penal laws
against the perpetrators of the crime in
every state. H.

When slavery tried to get possession of
Kansas territory by squatter sovereignty
the loyal freemen of the nation came to
her rescue and here fought the first bat
tie for the freedom of the slave. The
south next developed the idea of squat
ter sovereignty into that of secession,
and Kansas rallied royalty around the
flag for the preservation of the union.

must rally to its support and restoreit by

our fields.
But more especially for Kansas.

which are first in importance to her and
most sadly neglected. With sheep you

foreign wool, sugar and silk which can
be grown at home without exhausting
our soil and leave us the money for our
labor.
These three industries could be the
main stay and support OF Kansas, be
cause they are natural to her soil, her
climate and here people. The largest
and most successful sheep grower in
Kansas told me the other day that our
grass in summer and small patch of
sorghum in winter made sheep culture
successful here. We know our sorghum
